Chapter 13: Someone from the capital
[Ask for collections, recommendations, and rewards.] γ
was suddenly grabbed by a servant, Wang Shouye was bluffed first, and when he saw clearly who was coming, he was even more distressed in his heart.
But it turned out that this official was none other than Ma Biao, who was swept into the water by him with a net under the Liuli Bridge that day.
This is really a narrow road!
Wang Shouye's first thought was to take the road and escape.
Anyway, looking at Ma Biao's shoulders are high and the shoulders are low, obviously the injury on his leg is not good, as long as he gets rid of him, he is not afraid of being caught up again.
However, as soon as I thought of this, I saw a few white servants squeezing out of the crowd and surrounding them in all directions.
Get~
It's hard to get out now.
"It turned out to be Ma Ye."
No matter how worried he is in his heart, this momentum can't be weak, Wang Shouye arched his hand lightly, and said with a smile: "That day, Zhao Bantou asked us to say that, I still can't deal with you in the future, I never thought I would meet here again." β
"Take less five masters to bluff me!"
Ma Biao raised his hand to wipe his sweat, and said angrily: "I'm here in Beijing, and I want to see the people who went to Liuli Bridge to catch fish that night - hurry up and go back to the yamen with Lao Tzu, otherwise you will delay the errand of the errand, and the king of heaven Lao Tzu will not be able to save you!" β
said, picked up Wang Shouye and left.
Seeing that he was not here to seek personal revenge, Wang Shouye felt a little relieved.
But in the capital, how do you know about the strange fish? And what kind of errand was specially sent?
"Those two live fish, you sent them to the capital?"
"Nonsense."
Ma Biao turned his head and said in a suppressed voice: "This Ming Dynasty is up and down, who doesn't know that long live today, and love to collect these gods and ghosts?" Our fifth master lost the golden beetle son-in-law, so we have to think of ways to make up for it! β
This old fox!
At that time, there was still some righteous killing of relatives, and the feeling was that I wanted to treat the strange fish as auspicious and dedicate ......
Belch~
This thing shouldn't be considered auspicious, right?
Wang Shouye thought about it for a while, and suddenly became worried again.
After all, he is not the original product, and there is still a layer of protective film hidden in his body, if something is found out......
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and he couldn't help but ask, "What is the origin of that Shangcha?" β
"Jin Yiwei!"
Ma Biao didn't stop at his feet, turned around and said in a loud voice: "I heard that he is still a master of a thousand households!" Let's talk about it first, in front of the lords, you must not be full of tongues...... Oops hey! β
As he was talking, a person squeezed out of the crowd and collided with him.
Ma Biao was knocked over, kicked back a few steps, and finally failed to hold on, and sat on the ground.
Laughter rang out in all directions.
"Horse Boss!"
"Be careful!"
"Are you alright, Ma Touer?!"
Seeing this, several white servants hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.
"Get out of here!"
Ma Biao unloaded the grinding and killed the donkey, rubbed his buttocks with one hand, and pointed at the person who caused the accident with the other hand and scolded: "Thief, are you blind to the dog's eyes, or are you sincerely looking for death?!" β
The person who hit him was very majestic, and his size was similar to that of Wang Shouye, half a head taller than others.
However, not to mention the unkemptness, even the clothes were strands of clothes, hanging on his body like strips of rotten cloth, but he was running away from the wind and leaking, and he couldn't see half of the flesh and skinβbut because his whole body was already covered with sludge.
At this time, he listened to Ma Biao's scolding, but he didn't react at all, and looked at Ma Biao for a long time, before finally opening his mouth and spit out four words:
"Amitabha?"
"What?"
Ma Biao paused for a moment, then turned around and asked the white servant beside him: "Could this be the Buddha madman?" β
"Isn't that him! I have been in the county seat for two days, and I have seen that everyone is Amitabha. β
"That special mother can't spare him lightly!"
Knowing that the other party was a madman, Ma Biao didn't bother to bother with his lips, so he pulled out the iron ruler pinned to his waist, and pulled it over with his head and face!
The 'Buddha madman' didn't know that a catastrophe was coming, and he didn't know how to dodge, so he stood so firmly, seeing that he was about to end up with a broken head and blood.
"Wait!"
At this time, someone suddenly broke off and shouted, but Wang Shouye couldn't see it, and grabbed the front cross arm to stop Ma Biao.
Ma Biao was even more annoyed now, squinting at Wang Shouye and gritting his teeth: "What? Lao Tzu is kind enough not to care about you, but you are specifically against Lao Tzu, right?! β
"Master Ma."
Wang Shouye put his head to his ear and reminded: "The thousands of households in Jinyi are still waiting for us in the county office." β
Ma Biao's face changed several times when he heard this, and finally put the iron ruler back into his waist and spat fiercely: "Sooner or later, I'll wait for Lao Tzu!" β
The words were said to the 'Buddha madman', but his eyes were slanted at Wang Shouye, obviously the old hatred added a new hatred.
In this regard, Wang Shouye doesn't care, anyway, there is no essential difference between offending him once or twice.
It was the Jinyi Wei Qianhu who had not yet met that made Wang Shouye very vigilant.
How many products are Jinyi Wei Qianhu?
Five-grade or six-grade?
No matter how you put it, it should be regarded as a middle-level leader.
The imperial court sent a brocade-clothed guard to Qianhu, which shows the importance of those strange fish - and this also means that it is not easy for him to pass this hurdle.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Nervous all the way.
Seeing that it was not far from the entrance of the yamen, I saw that the stone lion was close to the left, and someone was turning around like ants in a hot pot, but if it was not Wang Laohan, which one could it be?
It's right to think about it, if you don't find the Zhang family in Shunyi Fang first, who can know that you went to the vicinity of the dock?
At this time, the old man had already seen his son, and hurriedly strode up to meet him, but before he could get closer, Ma Biao first scolded him privately: "Go and go, why is there an old thing like you everywhere?!" β
Old Handen stood on his feet, rubbing his hands with embarrassment, and his waist was visibly rickety.
"Master Ma."
At this time, Wang Shouye also had a cold face, and said in a deep voice: "There is a way to be a man and leave a line, and we will see each other in the future - now this case has been cleared, who knows what the situation will be in a few days?" β
Ma Biao was quite unimpressed with the previous words.
But the second half of the sentence made him a little jealous.
But Ma Biao was unwilling to give in, so he finally held back the sentence: "I'm also afraid of being in a hurry!" β
"It's all at the door, what's there to hurry?"
Wang Shouye didn't say a word to him softly or hard, and then smiled at the old man: "Dad, your boss can rest assured, the case has been closed, that is, to ask a few words." β
"That'...... That...... That ......"
The old man hesitated, looked at his son and then looked at Ma Biao, looked at Ma Biao and then looked at his son, but in the end he still couldn't spit out.
Seeing that Ma Biao was already impatient, Wang Shouye was afraid that he would say any foul language again, so he simply arched his hand at the old man and took the initiative to walk into the county office.
Seeing this, Ma Biao hurried a few steps forward to lead the way.
The two of them bypassed the lobby in the front yard one after the other, and rushed to the inner hall along the second door.
When I arrived near the inner hall, I saw two men with a single knife hanging from their waists, wearing cloud-patterned soap robes and red tasseled helmets on their heads, guarding the door without squinting.
Wang Shouye still needs to take a closer look, Ma Biao in front of him suddenly became a little shorter, and he took a few steps forward with his knees, and raised his hands high above his head: "The two adults of Qiqi, the younger one has brought Wang Shouye here." β
These two are Jinyiwei?
The one is black and black, and there are a few silver moire lines on the shoulders, where does it look like a brocade robe?
Wang Shouye slandered in his heart, and listened to the two brocade guards smash down four words:
"Waiting outside."
Other than that, there was no meaning to even send a single word.
Ma Biao hurriedly responded, straightened his waist slightly, but he didn't dare to straighten up, and stood in front of the door in silence.
Seeing this, Wang Shouye had to lower his head slightly, so as not to look too dazzling.
And at this moment, Zhao Bantou's voice faintly came from the inner hall, as if he was reporting something to the Lord of the Thousand Households.
Wang Shouye hurriedly turned his ears to listen carefully.
"In addition to those handprints and the traces of toes on the ground, the villain also found several footprints side by side on the riverbank, and they were all much deeper than the others."
"Therefore, it is inferred that they were probably staying and washing by the river when something attacked them, and then fled to the shore with both hands and feet."
No wonder this guy has been asking people to find clues in the river, it turns out that he has already deduced the scene at the time of the crime from the traces.
"On their bodies, and they couldn't find any wounds, or signs of poisoning, the villain was puzzled, and in the end he could only think of the ghosts and gods."
"But the water depth of the Liuli Bridge is not deep enough to drown people."
"Later, the villain carefully investigated, and finally found out that some people would put their children who could not afford to raise them in buckets and wooden basins, and let them float down the Liuli Bridge."
"This is one that can avoid people's eyes and ears and is not easy to be traced; Second, the child floated to the downstream county town, and it was easy to be found and rescued. β
"Adults also know that in the eyes of those mud-legged people, life in the city is much better than in the countryside, and if the child can be adopted by the city people, it will be considered a blessing."
"But not all children can be picked up, there are always one or two every year who fall into the water or float directly into the canal."
Originally......
Wu Qiuxia didn't want to drown the child, but hoped that he could go down the river and be picked up and raised by the people in the city.
"If there are really water ghosts in Liuli Bridge, I'm afraid it's these dead children."
"When I found this, the villain wondered a little in his heart, why didn't the water ghost attack others, but he recognized Li Mubai and his companions?"
"So I ordered someone to secretly track down Li Mubai's daily behavior, and it turned out that he and Wu Qiuxia from the neighboring village were a little unclear......"
"Because there was no evidence, the villain was afraid that he would wronged them, so he didn't go to alarm the Wu family, but took Li Mubai to Liuli Bridge overnight."
A large part of the back is all seen and heard at Liuliqiao.
Of course, Zhao Bantou intended to kill people and kill his mouth, but Wang Shouye peeked at it, and then the details of a scuffle were covered up by him with Spring and Autumn brushwork.
When this paragraph was finished, I listened to him again:
"Afterwards, the villain went to Wu's house to confirm the case, I don't want Wu Qiuxia to hear that the child didn't survive, her resentment turned into a strange fish, and she almost killed Li Mubai, she cried and said that she was sorry for the child, and directly hit the wall to find a short look!"
That's right, too.
Anyway, she is going to withdraw from the marriage, so whether Wu Qiuxia is dead or alive makes no difference to the Zhao family, why did Zhao Bantou have to kill Wu Qiuxia?
In the final analysis, the culprit is still Li Mubai!
You said that you really like people, and when you go home to be a concubine in the future, you can enjoy the blessings of all people, isn't it beautiful?
had to engage in wind and rain when he was keeping filial piety, and finally killed Wu Qiuxia's mother and son, not to mention, and he was ruined and infected with a disease.
was sighing, and a brocade guard wearing a helmet came out from inside, looked Wang Shouye up and down a few times, and asked:
"You are Wang Shouye?"
Without waiting for Wang Shouye to reply, he beckoned to himself again: "Come in, my lord will ask you." β
