"What is the appearance of the Yuan lady, you are her neighbors, depict it carefully."

Liansheng called all the people who were watching the opening of the coffin and asked them to talk about the appearance and characteristics of Yuan Niangzi.

"That's an apricot kernel eye melon seed face."

"No, no, it's obviously a duck egg face with red phoenix eyes."

"No, it's an apricot kernel eye duck egg face, and it looks very kind."

Several neighbors quarreled incessantly. Lian Sheng slapped the shocked wood: "What's the noise, don't they all go to the pole to testify to others that Yuan Dalang is really sick and died, how is Yuan Niangzi virtuous, why can't people tell the family together?" ”

The neighbors shuddered.

"Say, who bribed you to testify!"

The men looked at each other, but they didn't speak.

"I counted to five, and the first one to say it can be exempted, and the later one, the board is waiting."

Liansheng cleared his throat and began to count: "One ......"

Before the words fell, a person shouted first: "Someone gave me ten taels of silver to testify, and that person said that he was the brother of Yuan Niangzi." ”

'What? But only give me eight taels! Why! ”

"Adult, the small mouth is slow to be preempted by him!"

A few people quarreled again.

Governor Lin had reached the maximum limit of patience and shouted: "Shut up for me!" You Diao people, for a few taels of silver, you dare to frame a parent official, you are bold, come here,

Arrest these people and take them down to wait for the official to interrogate them slowly. ”

"Huh?"

The people were frightened, and the first to answer shouted, "But I'm the first to recruit the villain." ”

"Yes. You were the first to recruit, and the official will not pursue you, so Governor Lin, this person framed the magistrate of your jurisdiction, this crime is not small, can you pursue it? ”

The old fox of Governor Lin's mansion, of course, could understand Liansheng's words, and immediately nodded and said: "Li Zhixian is an honest official, and being framed by these villains is unbearable. It must be held accountable. ”

"Haha!" Lian Sheng smiled: "Look." It's Governor Lin who wants to punish you, and it has nothing to do with this official. ”

The man sat down on the ground in a daze, how could this be! It's over, and he covets the ten taels of silver. False testimony was made. When Li Zhixian comes back, I'm afraid my life will not be guaranteed.

He was imprisoned in the county jail. This is on the territory of Li Zhixian, and the guards don't know how they died if they do anything about it.

The men were dumbfounded, kneeling down and begging bitterly.

"When you covet the few taels of silver. Have you ever thought that a county order that is just for the officials will be discredited by you? If the knife doesn't cut on yourself, you don't know how much it hurts, so this time I'll let you hurt for a few years. Down, roar at the court, and give me fifty boards. Liansheng directly threw down a stick.

Fifty boards, isn't that going to be beaten to death?

These people were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out, and they were obediently escorted down.

"Lord Gu, thank you Lord Gu for returning the innocence!" Li Xian Ling has been picked up, and he stepped through the door to meet Liansheng.

"Li County Order, you didn't do anything wrong, there is really something wrong with the death of the Yuan family, you have made a great contribution this time."

Governor Lin hurriedly laughed and said: "Li Zhixian, this mansion was negligent for a while, and was deceived by the villain, I really wronged you." ”

"The prefect acts impartially, and the officials admire him." What can Li Zhixian say? He was too stubborn and straightforward and never gave gifts to the prefect, and was taken advantage of by others to pit him, thinking carefully that he was also at fault, it would have been good to open the coffin directly for an autopsy, and if he opened an empty coffin, what else did the woman say?

"Li Zhixian, do you know where you are wrong?"

Liansheng asked him.

Li Qingqing was stunned beside him: Why is my father still at fault?

"The lower official knew that he was wrong, and the lower official found that there was something wrong with the woman, but he was indecisive and did not open the coffin for an autopsy, resulting in himself being imprisoned, not to mention letting the woman escape, the lower official was stubborn and did not know how to be flexible, and was willing to accept punishment."

"Your intentions are good, you are careful enough, but not decisive enough, you should take this as a warning in the future. Li Zhixian, do you remember the woman's appearance? ”

"The lower official can draw the woman."

Governor Lin next to him hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Li Zhixian is a good painter." ”

After a short time, Li Zhixian finished drawing the woman's head, and Liansheng took a closer look and found that this woman looked a little like Lee Joon-gi of his time, and she really had a bit of a male and female temperament.

"If the lord believes the words of the lower official, the lower official thinks that the woman's appearance can be painted ninety percent."

"Well, it's good to ask Li County to draw another portrait of a man with the same appearance as this one."

Soon, documents of male and female thieves and murder suspects were posted all over the province.

The above probably means that the male and female thieves are twin brothers and sisters, and their appearance is very similar, they kill people and kidnap women and children and do all kinds of evil, as long as the people see such men and women appear, they will quickly report to the official and have a reward, if they can provide specific information to catch the thief, they will be rewarded with two hundred taels of silver, and at the same time, the heroes of the rivers and lakes are also welcome to participate in the search and be bounty hunters.

This proclamation is so bad that it is tantamount to mobilizing the power of the whole society. In particular, people are encouraged to participate, which was rarely seen in government announcements in the past. Yan Zhao has been a hero since ancient times, these people in the rivers and lakes have seen this male and female thief do a lot of evil, and the government actually called them heroes, this is a face-saving thing, for a time there are people everywhere who are eager to try to catch this male and female thief, the bounty is not the purpose, it is for the title of the hero of the government.

Soon, many people came to the county yamen and the Hejian government yamen to report that they had seen the traces of the wanted person, and as long as they could implement it, they all got a reward of one or two silver. When such news was released, the people saw that the government really attached importance to this case, and there was really a reward for it, and in just two days, the entire Hejian Mansion was simply the "masses of Chaoyang District".

On this day, five guests came to an inn in Hejian Mansion, and four of them were not tall and had no special appearance, but one of them was handsome, but he had a big black mole on his face and a pinch of black hair. The innkeeper looked at it a few more times, and a short man said in a strange voice, "Yours, what are you looking at?" ”

The guy shrunk his neck, thinking that the black mole man looked familiar.

Led the men into the guest room, and the man went downstairs and remembered that the man with the black mole looked like the man among the male and female thieves.

So he didn't care about asking for leave from the boss, so he ran to the street and went straight to the government office as soon as he slipped away, and before he got to the place, he looked at a team of officials patrolling the street, and hurriedly grabbed the leader and told him about the situation. The official remembered that Lord Shaoqing had said that those people had very high martial arts skills, and they might not be opponents, so he asked someone to go back and report the news quickly, and he led people to follow his men quietly around the inn, wanting to surround these people first.

As soon as I arrived at the inn, I heard the crackling sound from inside, and the innkeeper fled with his head in fright, and saw the official holding his head: "Poor master, poor master, there is a fight here, what should I do, my shop." He almost burst into tears.

"What happened?"

"There were five people just now, and as soon as I entered the house, a group of people from the rivers and lakes rushed up and fought with them, and then a few people in black came out of nowhere, and they came in again, and now it's a mess, and I don't know who hit whom, what should I do with my store, it will be demolished by them."

"Don't worry, if those people are really the Jiangyang thieves mentioned in the sea fishing documents, occupying your shop to fight, you go and beg our master, you should be able to give you some compensation, it's a big deal to repair it."

"Huh?" The innkeeper's distressed teeth were all sour: "Whoever provokes this is." ”

Soon the official who returned to the county government to report the news came over with a few brocade guards. It turned out that the matter of the lurking Japanese people was found in the Hejian Mansion, and Liansheng notified the Jinyi Guard Yamen through several Jinyi guards around him, and the Jinyi Guards attached great importance to this and sent people to assist the Hejian Mansion to arrest the Japanese spies together.

A leader of the brocade guards looked at the people who were in a mess inside, and said in surprise: "It's strange how the Japanese people beat the Japanese people!" Those are ninjas too! (To be continued......)

PS: The Japanese beat the Japanese people, and the careful reader must have guessed who the other group of Japanese people was.
