The head catcher of a state capital and county government is busy from beginning to end of the year, and the amount of Yulu plus subsidies can reach 200 taels, which can be regarded as a considerable income. The official rule of the Northern Yan Dynasty has always followed the line of high salaries and incorruptible maintenance; Although Lian's eldest son died halfway; But this high-paid rebel has grown quite strongly.

However, no one is too much silver, and no matter how rich this broad daylight is, it cannot quench the growing greed. Eating, drinking, lazing, moving, sitting and lying, socializing, and dredging, for these people who go through the public business, they can't save any expenses, and which temple door is less kowtowable, and they feel unsteady in their hearts.

Horses don't eat wild food and don't get fat, and it was because of the temptation of money that they came to Wanghai Tower without the prefect today. Their official robes and swords represent the royal law of the imperial court; But this time, he did it privately without the instructions of the prefect, which belongs to the category of perverting the law; From top to bottom, everyone has accepted bribes from others, which can be regarded as corruption; According to the criminal law of the Northern Yan Imperial Court, if you are charged with corruption and perverting the law, you should be beheaded on the street according to the law, and the heirs and daughters of the family will be confiscated together. If it's just for a mere two hundred taels of silver, it's really worth the loss.

Of course, this is an inference under normal circumstances; But today's Northern Yan Dynasty has already been terminally ill from top to bottom. Because of worshipping the wrong master, it is not uncommon to be ruined; But the crime of perverting the law for bribes has now become a "popular crime"! Regardless of whether this big hat is true or not, anyone who serves the Zhou family's rice bowl, no matter who it is, is a check!

And if the process is really strictly followed by the laws of the imperial court, then there is no need to move chess with Zhou Changfeng at all, and Emperor Tianyou will have to destroy himself first! Because in such an officialdom environment, those moral gentlemen who are strictly self-disciplined and always awake have long been excluded from the mainstream environment.

The ministers in the court are still so unbearable, not to mention a group of officials in Dengzhou City?

The young catcher heard the anger in the bearded man's tone, and he also consciously lost his words and hurriedly patted his ass:

"That's that! Otherwise, the villagers in Dengzhou Mansion all say that your hands and eyes are all over the sky, cousin? If you hadn't responded here, how could such a good thing be our turn! But cousin, it's not a matter for us to be drenched here, who knows when the prefect will get up at night? Two hundred taels of silver is a lot of extra money, but if you put this official robe on again, it won't be worth it......"

The bearded catcher nodded after listening, put his right ear close to the window root of the inn, and after listening carefully for a while, he waved his hand with a little hesitation:

"Old crab, big head, I'll go first to see the situation; You two have your pockets tied up outside, don't let the "canary" in the house fly out! ”

Liu Zhutou gave an order, and a reckless man who was as strong as an ox, and the sycophant with a big head like a fight, lightly touched the back of the bearded Liu Zhutou. Liu Tou glanced back at the two of them, one left and right, the two caught the left and right, and the three of them relied on each other and walked up the steps in front of the Wanghai Building.

Liu Zhutou leaned his ear on the door panel and listened for a while, but still didn't notice anything abnormal, then he took out the steel knife on his waist and carefully entered it through the gap between the two door panels; He wanted to use the back of the knife to open the latch, but he didn't expect that the two wooden doors that were close together just now made a "squeak" sound......

The bonfire in the house has long been extinguished, and it can be said that you can't see your fingers. Before entering the door, Liu Zhutou made a gesture and ordered the two to answer outside, and then cautiously crossed the threshold. After only two steps, he unexpectedly stepped on a soft and round object, as if it was a soft bamboo, the whole person instantly lost his center of gravity, and his front feet split forward with the guidance of this "soft bamboo", but the muscles of his hind legs were completely locked and stiffened in place because of the stress response!

Liu Zhutou is forty-two this year, and he suddenly split half a big fork, and the sharp pain from the root of his thigh really caught him off guard; Fortunately, he also practiced fists and kicks for a few days, and when he realized that he could not control his body, he fell straight to the side, and then landed on his back to the ground, which avoided the huge pain of reopening his crotch at the age of forty.

"The young lady has an egg... Lao Song's business is not going to be done, right? ”

Liu Zhutou covered his torn crotch with both hands, scolding the idle street from between his teeth, while lying on the ground and rolling over and over; Suddenly, he felt the touch of a palm on his shoulder, and his shoulder hit a big round head; He thought it was his cousin's nephew, the big head, who came in to help when he heard his pain, so he angrily freed up a hand and pushed his huge skull hard:

"Little Wang Balamb, get out of here......"

Who knew that when he pushed it so casually, there was a strange sound of "bones and bones" in the room; Well, it doesn't seem to be a big head, so let's leave it alone. As the burning pain from the hamstrings gradually subsided, Liu Zhutou's consciousness slowly recovered:

That's not right...... This is an inn, not a pork stall, why is the ground so sticky? What did I push out just now? Why does the smell of blood in this room wash my nose so much? What kind of crime do these Green Forest thieves want to commit in Wanghailou? Wrong! If there is a homicide, I will definitely not be able to suppress it...... At least two hundred taels of silver, I can't hold it down......

There was a mess in my head, and there was still a dark flower in front of me; Liu Zhutou, who couldn't see anything, had no choice but to whisper to the door:

"Big head? Big! The big-headed young lady has a leg, are you dead? Hurry on in! ”

Datou is only in his early twenties this year, and he is a distant relative of Liu Zhutou's hometown; Although this child came from a small place, he has a very clever mind and can deal with people, and he can't eat a bite of food on any road. At this time, the big head was standing behind the door on the left, and his ears were already filled with the sound of raindrops hitting the stone slab; The cousin in the house shouted three times in a row, and he barely heard a sentence:

"Old crab, you are guarding here, I'll go in and save Liu Tou!"

After finishing speaking, the little catcher, who was eager to make a rescue effort, rushed into the inn first.

The big head is younger, and his eyesight is better. It didn't take him long to regain some sight by the faint light that came in through the gap in the north wall from the long street that had poured in from the rainstorm and entered the dark foyer of the inn......

He saw a man kneeling in the middle of the room, covered in blood and bowing his head silently; The hair on the top of the man's head was all stuck together with blood; The trousers, clothes, and knife handles were covered with horrific minced flesh and abdominal organs; The most terrifying thing is that on his right shoulder, there is still a severed hand!

Just when the big head began to tremble, and the muscles began to become sour and stiff; The life-seeker, who was kneeling on the ground and missing his arms, suddenly raised his blood-stained face, revealing a mouthful of gloomy blue and white teeth, and said to him with a grudge:

"Big Head...... Give me a ......."

"I'll get a girl!"

When the fear in the heart breaks through the limit of bearing, it often erupts with an indescribable and inexplicable force! The big head, who was frightened and blistered, suddenly burst into flames, jumped up and kicked out with all his strength to eat milk!

I don't know if it was the Buddha's manifestation or the blessing of his identity as a boy, after the other party suffered this kick, he let out a strange cry and lay on his back on the ground; And the big head also took advantage of this opportunity to run out of the front hall of Wanghai Tower......

The old crab looking at the wind outside the door is an old man. Although he is not a practitioner, he can rely on his thick waist and broad shoulders to be strong, and he can also scare and scare people by relying on his size. The old crab has followed Liu Zhutou to handle cases for many years, and has also been on many scenes, and it has long passed the time when he is afraid of seeing blood; Now when he saw the big head crawling out with his pants peeing, he also understood a little in his heart:

"Look at your cowardly look, it's not bullshit."

After scolding, the old crab drew a knife in his hand, and also turned sideways into the front hall of Wanghailou, which was like Shura's purgatory. After about twenty breaths, the old crab's mournful cry came from the room:

"Who the hell did such a black hand!"

Because he stepped on the broken arm and split a fork, he rolled on the ground in pain and rolled into a bloody gourd-like Liu Zhutou, and his nephew, who was frightened, kicked his face in the face, but he leaned back after being forced; Coincidentally, the back of his head hit an angry round head, and he rolled his eyes directly! Rao is bold and careful old crab almost peed his pants as soon as he entered the house!

He thought there was a two-headed man lying on the ground!

Not long after, when Liu Zhu's head was kicked off by a kick on the bridge of his nose and woke up, he really hated that he woke up too early! Don't listen to the old man, suffer in front of you! How can there be a pie that falls in vain in the sky? Is 200 pieces of silver so easy to earn? In his experience, there were at least fifty or sixty people in the room's "broken puzzles"; There were also several dead ghosts in the backyard whose sternum had been completely shattered, and a short old man with half a beard missing......

From the perspective of the imperial court law, in the whole year of last year, there were only three cases of human life reported to the Criminal Department by the Dengzhou Government: two cases of rape and murder, and one money dispute; Because of the involvement of these three cases, my own adults got a neutral evaluation last year.

But today's Wanghailou formation has advanced all the shares of at least thirty-four years in the future at one time; If this is all reported to the Criminal Department in accordance with the rules of the Yamen, I am afraid that the career of the boss of my family will be completely explained.

But after all, he received money from others, and since there was a death in this case, no matter how much or how little, it is no longer possible to handle it officially! All of a sudden, Liu Zhutou also forgot to blame his nephew who was not a good person, and spent all his thoughts on how to deal with the aftermath...
