Volume 1: The Wind Rises and Peace Chapter 32: I'm Kidding You

Upstairs in Mochizuki, Mu Cheng was full of wine and food at this time, and he was picking his teeth with a toothpick.

The troupe owner on the side laughed and respectfully poured tea and water for Mu Cheng. There's no way, after all, it's the county master, isn't it the current master?

An errand officer hurriedly ran over and stood beside Mu Cheng and whispered a few words.

"What's the situation? Take out the letter and read it? ”

Hearing this, the messenger hurriedly took out the letter from his arms and respectfully handed it to Mu Cheng's hand.

Mu Cheng opened the envelope and sighed for a long time, then asked the officer beside him, "Do you know how to read?" ”

The servant hurriedly replied with a smile, "If you go back to your adulthood, I have studied private school for a few years. ”

Mu Cheng nodded and said, "The official has drunk too much, read it to me." ”

The messenger hurriedly took the letter, looked at the contents of the letter, and suddenly his face changed greatly, but seeing that Mu Cheng's face was already a little unhappy, he said tremblingly.

"Mu Cheng is a dog official, and your brother-in-law is in our hands. If you want to save him, you can exchange it for Dharma protection, and you can't wait for it. ”

Mu Cheng was stunned.

Brother-in-law? Where did I come from, brother-in-law? I'm the only child who is rooted, the kind that can receive subsidies.

"What a mess, who gave it to you?" Mu Cheng scolded.

The officer was startled, and hurriedly bowed and replied, "Yes...... It was given to me by that ear. ”

"One ear? What a bold man, he dares to entertain his own official! Pass my order, point out the errand officers and nursing homes in the county, and today I will go to Heifeng Village to eliminate harm for the people. ”

Mu Cheng roared angrily.

In fact, in Mu Cheng's heart, Heifeng Village has long ceased to exist, after all, it is now Heliansheng, which is supported by the cabinet. However, this did not hinder Mu Cheng's determination to suppress the bandits, and the revenge of being robbed two days ago is still vivid.

"Yes, let's arrange it for the small ones." So saying, the officer disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Mu Cheng saw that the figure of the messenger had already walked away, so he sat down hatefully, and said to the troupe master beside him: "Let you see the smile, after a while, the official will go to Heifeng Village to arrest the bandit leader, and when I come back triumphantly, let's come to this Moon Tower again to get drunk and rest." ”

The class owner's tears are about to fall, still coming? This meal is very expensive!

Returning to the county government to gather soldiers and horses, Mu Cheng looked at the energetic errand officer and said.

"Today, we are going to exterminate the Black Wind Village and crack down on the underworld gangs in my Ping'an County! Do you have faith? ”

"Yes!"

The officers shouted in unison.

Mu Cheng nodded and continued.

"Excellent! Remember, when you catch someone, be sure to ask who the leader of the bandits is! Whoever the leader of the bandits is today must ask who gave him the letter! ”

"Yes!"

The officers replied in unison again.

As soon as the words fell, I saw a messenger weakly ask, "Dare to ask your lordship, what is the letter?" ”

Mu Cheng snorted coldly and scolded angrily.

"Did you ask? Beep beep ......"

The errand who asked the question hurriedly knelt on the ground and said to Mu Cheng: "The villain is stupid, and I hope that the adult will make it clear." ”

"Today, someone sent a threatening letter to the official, saying that the official's brother-in-law is in their hands, and they want the official to exchange the Dharma protector for the life of the brother-in-law. By the way, which of you knows the Dharma Protector? ”

"Dharma protector? Who is it? ”

"I've never heard of this person as a Dharma Protector!"

"Who would have such a bad name?"

“……”

As soon as Mu Cheng finished asking, there was a commotion among the servants.

"Shut up!"

Mu Cheng yelled, then thought about it and added.

"The other party hasn't told the official where to exchange hostages, isn't this an insult to the official's IQ? Remember, if you catch the bandit, you have to ask him where exactly he wants to exchange hostages. ”

"Yes! My lord! ”

The officers shouted in unison again.

……

The young man paused in his room at the inn for a while, and then he took up his pen again to write a letter.

Fortunately, what I wrote last time was relatively simple, and I memorized the content myself, so there was no time for half a pillar of incense, and the letter was already written.

This time, as long as you are careful, you will be absolutely sure.

The young man thought to himself.

Out of the inn, the young man walked in the direction of the county government again.

After walking a short distance, he saw a man with a lofty instrument leading a group of servants towards him.

The young man was shocked, could it be that he had been discovered?

Seeing that there was a group of people around a stall selling rouge next to him, the young man quickly approached for fear of being recognized.

Yu San is a famous thief in Ping'an County. As a thief, he generally has his own persistence. Yu San's insistence is that he only steals the men around the rouge shop.

This kind of man either stepped forward to take advantage of other girls' families, or he was a sissy.

The former ignored himself and did not dare to report to the official. The latter is timid, and he is afraid of gossip from others, and he does not dare to report to the official.

The experience summed up in the past few years of thief career has made Yu Sanbai unpleasant, and he has not been in the county jail so far.

Today, I was idle on the street with nothing to do, and I saw Mu County Commander coming with a group of errands from a distance, and Yu San couldn't help but slander in his heart, who provoked this cautious county order again.

But no matter who provoked this county order, it had nothing to do with Yu San himself, and after a little inquiry, a young man hiding in front of the rouge stall entered Yu San's field of vision.

But after looking at the county order and the army of errands who were about to arrive around him, Yu San felt that he had to find a way to get his hands on this person's belongings.

I saw Yu San's eyes roll, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.

Yu San slowly approached the young man's side, and just as the county commander and the officers were about to arrive at him, Yu San suddenly pushed the young man out of the crowd.

The young man crashed into the messenger unsuspectingly, causing the servants to complain.

"Where did the uneyed stuff come from? Don't look at the road? ”

Mu Cheng was very angry, didn't this young man in front of him have eyes? It's really damn damn that he destroyed the momentum he had so hard to accumulate. Didn't you see the admiring eyes of those ladies in the county?

Yu Sanyi saw that it had caused chaos, so he hurried up and pretended to help the young man, but in fact he wanted to take the young man's belongings.

I saw Yu San step forward and help him, and easily touched the place where the money could be hidden on the young man's body.

There is something on the chest.

Yu San's eyes lit up, you must know that generally only important things are placed on the chest, and when you touch it, you can feel that it is a pile of paper, and there is only one truth, that is, a silver ticket! Thinking of this, Yu San's hands couldn't help but be three points faster.

And the young man was also very nervous at this time, for fear that the things in his arms would be discovered, and suddenly he felt that there were hands pulling things out of his arms, and the young man subconsciously grabbed those hands.

Yu San had already taken out the suspected silver ticket in his arms, but he was shocked when he was suddenly grabbed by someone, and the thing in his hand fell to the ground.

Mu Cheng originally wanted to scold the young man, but suddenly saw an envelope suddenly fall out of the young man's arms.

Seeing that the young man was about to reach out to pick it up, Mu Cheng hurriedly stopped.

"Wait, what is this?"

Before the young man could react, Mu Cheng stepped on the top of the envelope and commanded the servant beside him.

"Take it out and see what?"

An errand officer hurriedly came over, took out the envelope from Mu Cheng's feet, dusted it off, and then respectfully handed it to Mu Cheng.

Mu Cheng looked at it, huh...... It was very similar to the one he saw today, so he said, "Who is here at noon?" Come and read it to the official! ”

Another errand came out of the errand team, and said respectfully to Mu Cheng: "My lord, the villain is here." ”

As he spoke, he took the envelope from Mu Cheng's hand, and when he opened the letter, he couldn't hide the joy on the officer's face.

"My lord, it's the same as that letter."

"Same? Well, there is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there! Someone came, tied them up for me, and I suspected that they were accomplices. ”

Mu Cheng pointed to the young man and Yu San and instructed the messenger behind him.

The servants should claim to be, and in an instant, several people rushed forward and tied up the two of them.

Mu Cheng looked at the letter in his hand, then at the two people who were tied up by five flowers, and laughed three times before he spoke.

"Say, who is the Dharma Protector?"

Yu San was stupid, what kind of protector, I don't know, so he hurriedly explained.

"Adult, the little one's wish, the little one is just watching the excitement, I don't know what you're asking."

Mu Cheng raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly: "You dare to be hard-mouthed, and someone will drag it back to the county government to play fifty boards!" ”

As soon as the words fell, two errand officers dragged Yu San, who was shouting grievances, towards the direction of the county office.

"What do you have to say?"

Mu Cheng frowned and glared at the young man, and scolded angrily.

The young man was still surprised, he didn't expect that those robbers would kindly send the letter to the county government today, which was a matter of personal life.

Looking at Yu San, who was dragged away, the young man said respectfully: "I'm also watching the excitement, I don't know what you are asking." ”

Mu Cheng showed a puzzled look on his face, pondered for a long time, and then spoke.

"That's easy, come on, pull him back and cut him down."

Mu Cheng commanded the officer behind him.

The young man was immediately startled and hurriedly spoke: "My lord, my lord! Fang just hit fifty boards, how did it become a beheading when I came here? ”

Mu Cheng smiled and said, "Fifty boards are too light to let you tell the truth." By the way, even if this matter really has nothing to do with you, you won't die in vain, this official will help you apply for state compensation, don't worry! ”

Indemnify? Compensation for eggs! Have you ever seen any country compensate the thieves? If you don't kill you, it's light.

The young man thought about it, but his own life was still important, and he hurriedly spoke: "My lord, my lord, I know who the Dharma Protector is!" ”

Mu Cheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Tell me quickly, who is it!" ”

At this time, the young man seemed to think of the horror of his direct superior, the helmsman, and hurriedly shook his head, squeezed a smile and replied, "That...... My lord, I don't know. I'm ...... I'm kidding you. ”

Mu Cheng's face turned green.

"Pull it back, Ling Chi! Tell the kitchen to make shabu tonight! ”
