This confused battle in front of the yamen was originally Qin Qiu's arrangement to attract the attention of the soldiers of the Gusu Mansion. Because until late at night, the 120 worry relief soldiers had completely lost their lives. The only obstacle to rescuing Lin Siwei is this group of watchdogs who can't get on the table.

I have to say that Qin Qiu's luck is not bad, the group of worry-relieving troops who live in Zhujiadian are all fire soldiers. The forty-pole new Erlang Divine Fire Gun was also taken out of Gusu City by the Bainiao brothers who protected the retreat of Zhu's father and son. As for the Jiqing Inn where the Tianji crossbow was stored, since the shopkeeper was not from the rivers and lakes, the people of Bainiao did not be polite to him, and directly beat him unconscious and tied it up; With an axe, all those good things with a market price of more than 100 taels of silver were chopped into waste wood.

After solving the problem of using heavy weapons with a very low threshold, the people who remained in Gusu City changed into the military uniforms of the Worrying Army, swaggered to the front street of the Fuya, and caused a mess with the Gusu defenders led by Liu Kechen. Of course, Qin Qiu also took advantage of this opportunity to sneak into the prefect's yamen and began to search for Lin Siwei's traces.

In fact, with Qin Qiu's skills, even if it is a big and hard break; I'm afraid that no one in the entire Gusu Mansion except Shen You can stop him. But even if Lin Siwei was not punished, she was still an ordinary old woman after all, and she couldn't run fast or jump high. And Qin Qiu couldn't determine Lin Siwei's hiding place, no matter how great he was, if he wanted to find someone from the three sets of mansions, it was not a problem that could be solved in a moment and a half.

Before Qin Qiu did his work, in order to avoid startling the snake, he didn't dare to step on a plate too carefully; So the first place he chose to search was in the most likely prison dungeon.

The eunuchs of Nankang are different from the prisons or prisons of Beiyan. According to the process of Nankang's criminal law, this is more like a transit station for prisoners than a place of detention. For example, if a murderous Jiangyang thief is caught in Gusu City; As the prefect of Gusu, Xie Ruchang has no right to interrogate the case. Because Nankang's government is only in charge of civil affairs, it has no right to manage major criminal cases; In other words, as long as the case involves human life, it is not within the scope of the government's responsibility. But after all, the criminal was arrested here, so he had to be temporarily detained in the government prison, and wait for the legal department in charge of criminal law to come and raise the person. Therefore, all the government offices in Nankang must set up such a place.

Due to its small usefulness, the scale of the Nankang Yajian is generally small. Qin Qiu rolled over and rolled into the prison, waved his hand and knocked out the old guard who was awakened by him, and walked down the steps of the prison without stopping.

There were only four cells in total, two of which were occupied and two were empty. Before Qin Qiu could speak, he only heard one of them yawn, and asked him first:

"Who are you? What is the cause of action? ”

"I don't have a case on me, have you ever seen an old lady?"

The man stretched out his hand and rubbed his face, carefully looked at Qin Qiu, who was wrapped around his head and wrapped in a black scarf, and said angrily:

"With your appearance, there are ghosts on your body!."

"You have so much...... Ever seen an old lady being brought in? ”

"I have seen the old man who delivers food at the door, but I have never seen any old lady...... Ah? I didn't see it, you look white and clean, and your mind is quite vicious! Is this afraid that he will show his face and plan to cut the grass and eradicate the roots? ”

Qin Qiu didn't have time to take care of him, so he turned around to leave; Unexpectedly, as soon as this man grabbed the iron railing, pulled his neck and shouted at him:

"Oops! Don't go, brother! Everyone is mixed up on the road, and by the way, they robbed me too? It also saves my brothers the trouble......"

"What kind of case are you carrying?"

"Hey, it's not a big deal, it's just a bad case. I just played with a few, and when I left, I didn't pay attention and knocked down an oil lamp. Tell me, am I not in vain? ”

Qin Qiu sneered after hearing this, and he didn't know what popped out of his fingers; I saw the big lock at the end of the chain of the cell door, inexplicably swinging upward, and then falling back to its original position:

"When you get down there, you have to be careful when you talk! Remember, we're not on the same path. ”

"Hey? What do you mean? If you can't save it, it's a happy sentence! Take a stone to break the lock, you scare the child? …… Brothers! Brother ......"

Qin Qiu ignored him anymore, stepped up the steps, and waved his hand to close the big iron door leading to the underground prison; And the lock of the door of this serious criminal prisoner was also completely blocked by him. Not to mention waiting for his people to rob the prison, even if it is a serious 800 original key, don't even think about opening that lock!

Qin Qiu came to the door and listened attentively, and found that there was still a noisy sound on the outer wall of the mansion, obviously the misunderstanding had not been resolved; So he lifted his waist and abdomen, jumped on the roof behind him, and began to investigate it on a large scale.

Qin Qiu is Qi Yan's senior brother in the end, and the skill of "picking tiles and opening the skylight" can really be described as perfect. There is a huge three-entry courtyard, and there are as many as 20 or 30 large and small rooms; However, after only half a pillar of incense, he had already checked more than half of it.

Unfortunately, still nothing.

At this time, Xie Ruchang, who was in front of the yamen, finally put away the set of scolding Huai and yin and yang. He stretched out his hand and pointed at Liu Kechen, the red-faced guard, and asked sharply:

"General Liu, don't say that I thank someone for flattering and bullying you, and don't give you a chance to speak! Now you explain the matter clearly in front of everyone, and the official will give you a comment. Say! Why hit someone? ”

"Master Xie, the two of us are old acquaintances and old partners! What kind of person am I, Liu Kechen, don't you know? Heaven and earth conscience, I really didn't want to beat anyone, I just wanted to ask the brothers of the Liberation Army, why they were still noisy on the street so late; It was they who first beat Hou San for no reason, and I started to do it......"

"Hey, I said General Liu, what you said these words really made the brothers' hearts cold! It was obvious that I saw you coming forward and being bullied and fighting with others; We're afraid you'll suffer alone, so that's why we're fighting with them......"

One thing and two statements, Xie Ruchang's head was big when he heard it! In desperation, he had no choice but to turn to the emaciated sergeant and ask what had happened, but who knew that he had heard a third version. After he analyzed that eight or nine were not far from ten, he really wanted to raise his hand and kill this Hou San, who was not afraid of being lively!

When was Liu Kechen bullied? When did the brothers of the Relief Army start beating people again? These two are obviously polite to each other! But this Hou San is good, he didn't ask anything, he stretched his neck and howled, and shouted such a big group fight!

More than 100 people, not to mention the dozen drunks, now I have to wipe your ass!

After all, if the monk can't run the temple, how to deal with Hou San's affairs can be said later; But the worry-relieving army is now under the dispatch of Shen Ju alone, and he is the parent official of Gusu City, and he is the one who beat the uncle of the Shen family, how can he mix it up in the future......

For today's plan, I can only appease the worry-relieving army with a blue nose and swollen face first!

"The brothers of the Relief Army were angry, and they all blamed General Liu and Xie for not being strict, which caused a misunderstanding. But it's good that all the brothers have been on the battlefield for a long time and are agile, and all the injuries that fall are skin injuries, so we don't know each other even if we don't fight. I think so, early tomorrow morning, this official will invite the best Langzhong in Gusu City to go to the inn to diagnose and treat your injuries; After tomorrow nightfall, the official will hold a banquet on the cloud tower to wash the dust, and bring it to the brothers to make amends; As for Elder Shen's side...... In the opinion of this official, it is not good to trouble him; I wonder what you brothers think? ”

After hearing this, the leader of the Relief Army looked back at the brothers with blue noses and swollen faces behind him, and after squeezing their eyebrows at each other, he stretched out a slap:

"Master Xie, our brother knows what you mean, but we can't be beaten in vain! Of course, we don't slander anyone, we really only suffered skin injuries, so this Lang Zhonghe banquet...... I don't think there's any need to bother, so let's get some affordability, right? Let's follow Lord Shen's front car, this number per person, what do you think? ”

Although Xie Ruchang is a four-grade prefect, when it comes to the way and way to collect money, it is not even more convenient than a nine-grade sesame official in Beiyan. However, Gusu City has been in an eventful time recently, and there are not many people on the other side; Although it hurts to throw out a few hundred taels of silver, for Nankang officials who pursue high salaries and pensions, they will not go bankrupt for this amount of silver.

Xie Ruchang gritted his teeth, and finally made up his mind:

"Okay, tomorrow, the Japanese official will definitely send someone to send the silver to Vice General Wang."

"Speak fast, a word is a certainty! Scattered, brethren! ”

It wasn't until these worry-relieving troops left the front street of the mansion that Xie Ruchang still didn't come to his senses: he said that he would send the money to Wang Zhi, originally with the idea of disgusting the other party; But I didn't expect them to agree so simply, as if they didn't care about sharing it equally with others......

So why do you want to slander people?

At this moment, the master, who had been hiding behind the door to watch the battle, stepped forward. He approached his proprietor, Xie Ruchang, coughed lightly and said:

"Ahem! Dong Weng, the student felt that there was something strange about this matter. ”

"Huh?"

"The figure of these dozen or so worry relief soldiers seems to be too thin."

Xie Ruchang didn't react when he heard this, but replied to him casually:

"What's so strange about that? If you want to solve your worries, most of them are from Liangjiang; Most of the soldiers of my Gusu Mansion have northern blood; Compared to the two, their bodies appear to be thinner, and there is no fuss. After all, the ability on the battlefield is not determined by the size of the body......"

"Hmm...... What the old man said is not unreasonable; But the students also heard that in the evening of this day, the Worry Relief Army, who had handed over the errand, went directly to the Shen family's silk village. Entrusted to Chairman Shen Shen's Hongfu, each of them changed into a common person's costume. Of course, this is Lord Shen's thoughtful work, and he doesn't want this group of tigers and wolves to frighten the villagers and elders in Gusu City; But why are these worry-relieving armies wearing standard armor? ”
