Chapter 36: The Fish Knows

Song Ci put away the case file and suddenly smiled, "Song has been running outside all day today, and he is indeed hungry, since this is the case, let's eat." ”

Several people sat at the table, and Wen Cheng said: "My lord, if you continue to solve a few more cases, I'm afraid you won't be able to sit down at this table."

Qin Xiaoyue said: "Brother Wencheng, are you laughing at me and Lu Sheng?" Why, is it possible that only the emperor can arrange people for adults? Can't we just join in?"

Wen Cheng laughed and said: "Yes, naturally can, one more person, we adults will be a little safer, don't you say?"

"If you know, it's good."

Song Ci didn't speak for a long time, and suddenly said: "Wencheng Wenwu and Lu Sheng, after you have eaten, go to the houses of these murderers according to the addresses on the other two case files, and then ask some people around them, if there is any situation, tell me immediately!"

"Yes, sir!"

After eating, they immediately took action, and in the house, Song Ci and Qin Xiaoyue were left. "My lord, they're all out, do you want me to help?"

Song Ci said: "You don't have to worry about this matter, Xiaoyue, you go and make me a cup of tea, I want to look through the file again."

"Yes, sir."

Ten miles outside Ping'an County, there is a group of people and horses walking on the road, they have no scruples, a large area of crops has been destroyed, and the young seedlings that have just grown are trampled on like this, which is distressing.

There were people working nearby, and when they saw it, they cursed in whispers, not daring to raise their voices, for fear of being heard, otherwise they would not be left behind.

This team was the official of Hou Tianhua and the Yamen, and early in the morning, they left the Yamen to go fishing.

In the sedan chair carried by the eight people, Hou Tianhua lifted the curtain and said, "Book history, how long is it?" This official is hungry at the moment, so it's best to go faster. ”

Shushi said: "Back to my lord, there are less than two miles away, and we will be there soon." Hou Tianhua didn't speak, and after a while they finally came to the stream, which was a piece of farmland, but with their coming to play, the neighborhood was trampled on and destroyed a lot.

The sedan chair fell, Hou Tianhua walked out of it, and said coldly: "Come on, go to the neighborhood to catch two big roosters for the official to roast and eat, the official is going to fish now."

"Yes, sir!"

Hou Tianhua sat in the shade of the tree, took out the fishing rod, and immediately threw out the fish, and then closed his eyes and hummed a small song.

"My lord, you are very good at fishing, if you can't catch it at night, I will ask the official to go to another pond to catch a few."

"Well, it's just a matter of grabbing a little bit, if there are too many, this group of Diao people will scold behind their backs, and at the same time, if they catch all the fish at once, then what will we eat in the future?"

"Yes, yes, the adults said yes, yes, but my lord, about this Song Ci, you have to guard against it, it is said that ah, he has solved several unjust cases, in case the adults are caught, what tricks do you get..."

Hou Tianhua said: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the official will not be afraid of this matter, the murderers are all dead, besides, he is a helpless bachelor, you say that if you are a smart person, who will come out of this?"

"Having said that, but my lord, this Song Ci is a powerful character, if he really finds any tricks, then your career will be ruined."

Hou Tianhua said: "The official has no fear, he doesn't care at all, hey, there is a fish on the hook."

He pulled up, and the fish fell into the bucket, and after a little tossing and turning, it didn't move.

"I said book history, do you know why this official is not afraid? Because ah, it's like this fish, you say, who knows that the official caught it?"

“.... Doesn't this fish know?"

"Hahaha, what does it know? He will die soon after, and he will never be able to open his mouth, you say, is this case already unsearchable? Isn't it up to the official to decide who catches it then?"

"Ahh The adults are really smart, they are really smart, and the lower officials are really admiring the five-body throwing.

Suddenly, a rough roar came from not far away, a sixty-year-old farmer whose crops had been destroyed.

He rushed over with a hoe and scolded in his mouth, "You dog officials, you still call yourself a parent officer, you are such a parent official?" Ruined my dealer, today, today I want you to come up with a statement. ”

Hearing this, several officials immediately pressed the old peasant's uniform to the ground. Shushi said: "Boldly Diao people, dare to speak disrespectfully to adults, do you know the guilt?" Guilty? What sin do you know?. You.... You dog officials eat the food of the imperial court, and not only that, but you also want to fish and flesh the people, you.... Are you not afraid of retribution?"

Hou Tianhua immediately laughed wildly, "Retribution? This official never knows how to write the word retribution, old guy, you better go, you said that you only have a few dollars for a year of hard work? As for offending the official for this little thing? Can you do it?"

"What if you can't draw it?" The old peasant shouted angrily, "We farmers rely on this grain all year round, and you have ruined it, how will you let us live in the future?" I don't care, if you don't come up with an explanation today, you can't leave. ”

Hou Tianhua chuckled, "Joke, this official is leaving, who can stop him?" Shushi, since he is in it for money, then you can give him a copper plate and send him away as soon as possible, so as not to damage the Yaxing of the official. “

Shushi took out a copper plate from his bosom and threw it out, "Take it, old fellow, this money is not enough to compensate you?" Tell you, take the money and leave immediately, otherwise, beware of adults arresting you and imprisoning you for a few days.

.... Dog officer, dog officer, a copper plate is like making up for my loss,.....

You..."

"What's wrong with us? Is it too little? Shushi, give him another copper plate, then beat him and throw it out, and then warn him that the official doesn't want to see him again.

"Okay sir, come on, call me!"

Several servants rushed up, punched and kicked, and the old peasant soon had a blue nose and swollen face, and then was forcibly dragged out and thrown on the side of a small road.

"Dog official, dog official, this Great Song Dynasty is over, it's over, the Jin people continue to go south, you don't protect the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, but you continue to prey on the people, and the Great Song Dynasty will be destroyed in your hands sooner or later."

"Return your parents, your parents are a fart, just this kind of person returns to your parents, this is to be sincerely angry with the individual."

The old farmer kept cursing, and soon in the rear, Wen Cheng and the three of them came over, and when they saw this scene, they immediately went forward and said, "Old man, what's wrong with you?" Why are you swearing here?"

Seeing the three of them, the old man said: "It's not this damn magistrate, he led people to step on my dealer's house, and he also beat people, do you say there is still a royal law?"

"Hitting? Or are you from the Yamen?" Lu Sheng said: "Old man, are you sure you are not mistaken? Is this really someone from the Yamen?"

The old man said: "Old man, although my eyes are dizzy, but there is no problem in seeing people, it is not Hou Tianhua of his yamen], who else will there be?"
