Chapter 537: Returning in the fog, Chenxiao complained
The wind and rain gradually stopped, a thick fog rose on the river, and the view was blocked, and the boatmen did not dare to move quickly, so they walked very slowly. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Shopkeeper Li ordered all the night lights to be lit to light the road, and after illuminating the road for a while, he found that they were the only boat walking alone on the river.
The goods are gone, and many people have died, and the shopkeeper Li is full of bad luck, and he keeps complaining in his heart that the people of the second prince are not reliable, saying that he cleaned up Qingfeng Village, but let the thief Shi Jian go.
If you let people go, you don't say anything, but it will affect them!
He had probably forgotten at this time, if it wasn't for his master Luo Sheng betraying Shi Jian first, how could Shi Jian be taken away by Mo Rin, leveled the cottage, and looked for revenge on them.
Zhang Si slept very soundly this night, and only woke up in the middle of the night.
Next to the bed was Li Erbao, the nephew of the shopkeeper Li, snoring slightly, but the shopkeeper Li was nowhere to be seen.
Zhang Si estimated that he occupied the main cabin, and Shopkeeper Li Xu went to rest in another cabin.
His forehead was sweaty, and he stretched out his hand to wipe it, his throat was very dry, probably because of some fever.
Looking at the kettle not far away, Zhang Si lifted the futon and wanted to get out of bed to pour a glass of water to drink.
During the operation, Li Erbao was awakened, and when he saw that he was about to get out of bed, he hurriedly held him down, "What is Boss Zhang going to do, tell me to go." ”
After that, he yawned a lot.
Zhang Si smiled apologetically, and said to Li Erbao in a dumb voice: "Help me pour a glass of water." ”
Li Erbao heard his hoarse voice and knew that he was suffering from trauma and fever, so he hurriedly got up and poured a glass of water and handed it to Zhang Si.
Zhang Si stretched out his hand to take it, thanked him, and then raised his glass to drink.
"What time is it, has the rain stopped? How are you? Zhang Si asked as he handed the cup to Li Erbao.
Li Erbao took the water cup and put it back, turned around and said, "I think it's almost the end of the ugly hour, the rain has stopped, everyone... There was nothing to do, I was very tired, I left two vigils, and the rest went to find a place to rest. ”
"Why didn't you go down to rest, I don't have anything to do here."
Li Erbao paused for a moment, and then said: "You were injured to save the second uncle, and the second uncle asked me to look at you, afraid that something would be inconvenient for you at night." ”
Zhang Si nodded, "Let you bother." ”
"It should." Li Erbao replied in a low voice.
"Do you know who the thief is? It just scared the hell out of me. When it comes to thieves, Zhang Si seems to have lingering palpitations.
Li Erbao poured another glass of water and handed it to Zhang Si, "I don't know, I'm not a good person after all, Boss Zhang is injured, so let's rest more." ”
Zhang Si took the water cup, drank it, and sure enough, he didn't ask any more questions, returned the water cup to Li Erbao, and then lay down and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Li Erbao secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was no longer asking.
The second uncle explained that the matter of Qingfeng Village was not allowed to be spread outside, let alone Boss Zhang, so he naturally had to listen to the second uncle.
At this time, Li Erbao didn't know that Shi Jian, the big boss of Qingfeng Village in his heart, was already a corpse, and the merchant ship that followed Mu Qiubai was crossing Surabaya at full speed, heading towards the Jingzhao Yin Yamen in Huajing City.
At three o'clock, Mu Qiubai took people and several boxes of "goods" to the outside of Jingzhao Yin's Yamen.
At the end of the day, the officials of Jingzhao Yin's Mansion yawned and opened the door to prepare for office, but they were startled by the group of people staying outside the door.
"What people!" Yacha shouted and said.
Mu Qiubai replied loudly: "In Xia Mu Qiubai, there is an important case to ask to see Master Yao!" ”
When Yacha heard his name, he didn't dare to slack off at will, so he shook his head and sobered up.
When he got closer, he saw that the person who came was indeed Mu Qiubai, so he asked him and his party to go to the main hall first, ready to register and make a book, and wait for Yao Xuan to come to review.
After about a quarter of an hour, Yao Xuan came, and after a few words of greeting, he began to ascend to the court to try the case.
Mu Qiubai came to sue Shi Jian, a thief in Qingfeng Village, for robbing a merchant and a passenger ship, seeking money and killing him.
When Yao Xuan heard this, he hurriedly asked what he had done, and Mu Qiubai told him eloquently.
"Are you saying that you were traveling through Surabaya and were robbed by this bandit on the way, but the bandit was injured and killed by your guard?" Yao Xuan patted the stunned wood and asked.
Mu Qiubai bowed down and clenched his fists and replied, "Exactly, my lord." ”
"The corpse of a bandit in the hall?" Yao Xuan asked again.
Mu Qiubai replied that it was Shi Jian's corpse.
Yao Xuan immediately called for an autopsy.
He was very experienced, and after a short time, he found out the cause of Shi Jian's death and the approximate time of death, and hurriedly reported it to Yao Xuan.
Yao Xuan nodded after hearing this, "This Qingfeng Village official has already heard of it, but I didn't expect that this bandit leader was killed by Boss Mu today, Boss Mu, this official wants to ask for credit for you!" ”
Mu Qiubai hurriedly said: "Lord Yao has raised the grass people, and everyone has been punished by the rebellious ministers and thieves, but the grass people are just doing their best, and they happened to meet this bandit leader when he was injured, which is really not worth mentioning." ”
"Hey, Boss Mu's words are too modest, it should be your credit is yours, you can rest assured, the official will definitely reward you according to the law, and let me pray that the people will see the benefits of helping the government do things."
"Then the grass people thanked Master Yao."
"You're welcome." Yao Xuan waved his hand and smiled.
"Lord Yao, the grass people still have something to report."
"Oh, and? You say. ”
Mu Qiubai arched his hand and said: "The grass people sue this bandit leader for smuggling salt!" ”
"What!" Yao Xuan couldn't sit still now, and stood up from his chair in shock.
Mu Qiubai pointed to the few boxes he had brought over, and said to Yao Xuan, "Please take a look at Lord Yao." ”
After speaking, he waved at several of his subordinates.
The subordinates realized, opened a few boxes, took out the contents of the contents, and then opened the dark compartment below.
Yao Xuan walked down the steps quickly, walked to Mu Qiubai, personally took the dagger handed over by Mu Qiubai, and gently cut open the burlap bag, isn't it the salt of Baihuahua!
"What a bold man, he dares to sell illicit salt!" Yao Xuan looked at Shi Jian's corpse not far away, and said hatefully.
Mu Qiubai clenched his fists and asked, "Lord Yao, the law of the country prohibits the private sale of salt, so much salt, and it is placed in the secret compartment, it will not be kept for yourself, right?" ”
Yao Xuan's face sank like water, and he shook his head gently, "Naturally impossible." ”
"The grass people still have something to understand, and they want to ask Master Yao."
"Boss Mu, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Mu Qiubai lowered his voice and asked: "When the grass people were robbed by this bandit leader, he said that he happened to rob someone else's boat first, and these boxes of things were robbed by him. ”
"That's true!" Yao Xuan turned his head to look at Mu Qiubai, and his face gradually became solemn.
"Truly, it was the bandit leader who said it himself when he threatened me to submit to him." Mu Qiubai also nodded solemnly.
Yao Xuan thought for a moment and said to Mu Qiubai: "This matter involves a wide range of things, and I hope that Boss Mu will not make a noise for the time being, and I will make a decision after I return to His Majesty, Boss Mu can rest assured, Yao will not take credit." ”
