The six suspects have all been questioned, and Chen Zhixian ordered the officials to arrest them and go back to standby.

After everyone left, he couldn't wait to enter the house and asked quietly, "My lord, can you find out the results?" ”

Zhang Zhiyuan said, "The list is already there, Chen Zhixian might as well take a look." ”

Chen Zhixian took the roster handed over by Yang Congyi, and after reading it carefully, he asked with a puzzled face, "Yang Congyi, what you wrote is a Zhao character?" ”

Yang Congyi stepped forward and nodded, "Yes, it's Zhao Zi." ”

Chen Zhixian then asked, "What about these ones?" Forgive my clumsiness, your writing is too sloppy and sketchy for me to recognize. ”

Yang Congyi then thought that he had written a lot of typos, and the strokes should not be so streamlined, so he hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I didn't read very carefully when I was a child, and I couldn't write a lot of words." This is the word Chen, and this is the word Zhang. ”

Chen Zhixian said with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay, young people can still learn." ”

Zhang Zhiyuan asked, "Chen Zhixian, how much do you know about the people on this roster?" ”

Chen Zhixian said, "These people don't have much fame in this county, and they don't know any of the officials. ”

Zhang Zhiyuan said, "You might as well take a closer look, there is really no one you know?" ”

Chen Zhixian was shocked when he heard this, and quickly took a closer look, and found that there was a person surnamed Zhang, who looked like a head catcher in the yamen, so he hurriedly asked Yang Congyi, "What is this writing?" ”

Yang Congyi smiled embarrassedly after reading it, and replied, "I'm sorry, I don't read much." This is Yang, Zhang Yang. ”

Chen Zhixian's face was very unsightly after hearing this, and he said, "My lord, this Zhang Yang's subordinate official knows, and he is a catcher in the yamen." If you don't notice the appointment of the lower officials, please punish the adults! ”

Zhang Zhiyuan said, "You are indeed responsible, this gang of bandits has been entrenched in Taihu Lake for six years, and you have been here for three years without even realizing it, and you have also recruited bandits into the yamen to listen to them, and you should be punished for dereliction of duty." ”

Chen Zhixian was taken aback, and said in his heart that this gang of bandits had been entrenched for six years, he only took office three years ago, and it was not during his tenure that such bandits appeared, why should the court punish him? Thinking so in his heart, he didn't dare to refute it, so he could only keep his mouth shut.

Zhang Zhiyuan continued, "This gang of bandits is cautious in committing crimes, picking on foreign business travelers, killing people and destroying corpses, and leaving no evidence. It's no wonder you. If they hadn't chosen the wrong target this time, and Yang Congyi came to the rescue, the government still wouldn't have found them. Chen Zhixian does not have to blame himself, in the future, he will be more aware of the people's situation and keep abreast of the people's movements, so that he can naturally prevent such tragedies from happening. ”

Chen Zhixian hurriedly said, "Lord Xie Zhang, the lower officials should keep it in mind. ”

Zhang Zhiyuan said, "Chen Zhixian, you will secretly control this thief tonight, and the other bandits will be arrested tomorrow." ”

Chen Zhixian asked, "This thief can control him immediately, but there are twenty-two other people, and the county is understaffed, so I am afraid that they cannot be arrested at the same time." ”

Zhang Zhiyuan said, "Don't worry about Chen Zhixian, I have my own arrangements." ”

When Chen Zhixian heard that Zhang Zhiyuan had an arrangement, he nodded and said, "The lower officials are too worried." ”

Zhang Zhiyuan said, "Chen Zhixian, you have to control the prisoners in front of you, don't let them vent their mouths, so as not to add trouble to the arrest." ”

Chen Zhixian said, "Xia Guan understands. ”

Zhang Zhiyuan said, "Okay, go back and rest, there are still many things to do, don't relax." ”

Chen Zhixian answered, then got up and said goodbye, he still has a lot of things to do tonight, and he can't sleep if he wants to.

Zhang Zhiyuan picked up the roster written by Yang Congyi and looked at it a few times, and shook his head secretly in his heart, the people in the rivers and lakes are really rough people, although those words are written seriously, and the strokes are clearly recognizable, but they are typos, and they can't bear to look at them directly. I thought that he had saved the lives of Lord Mo's father and woman and took him with him to do things, but now it seems that he has to give up.

Yang Congyi looked indifferent, he didn't know that his fate had changed because of a few small typos on the roster, and he didn't know how he would feel when he heard people talk about it again many years later.

In prison, he doesn't have to go back, but the case is not closed, and he can't leave there. Zhang Zhiyuan arranged for him to live in a wing room, although Taihu County is poor, but there are enough houses in the government.

Yang Congyi took a cold bath, washed away all the bad luck on his body, and suddenly felt relaxed all over his body. A cold shower also washed away his drowsiness, lying on the bed can not close his eyes, maybe he has been sleeping on the ground for too long, suddenly sleeping on the bed is not used to it, in short, he has no sleepiness, lying down only feels uncomfortable, the day seems to be getting hotter and hotter.

Unable to sleep, he simply got up and sat down. A silver moonlight outside the window came into the room and sprinkled it on the ground, and the clear moonlight illuminated the few things in the house clearly, especially the pen stand on the table in front of the window and the row of brushes hanging on it, which were exceptionally clear and dazzling in the moonlight.

Today is the night of the full moon, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the annual time for family reunion.

Yang Congyi saw the moonlight and the brush, but he couldn't reunite with his family, never will. Every time he thought of the past, he immediately forced himself to look away, so that he could not think about it, that he could not go back to the past, and that he could not touch it, that it was another world, the real other world, the world after a thousand years. If you want to live here, you can't think back to the past, he once told himself over and over again, and also ordered a birth for himself, trying to make himself believe that he had never lived another life, he had no relatives, no parents and brothers, and the past that he inadvertently remembered was a dream, but the dream was too beautiful and real to forget.

Yang Congyi patted his head, put on his shoes and got out of bed, he wanted to go outside the house and see the stars and moonlight in the sky.

When I opened the door, a cool breeze hit and it was cool outside. Standing in the courtyard, looking up at the starry sky, he didn't know anyone except the North Star.

Looking at the starry sky, he suddenly thought of the situation of the two old Taoists watching the stars at night, and he didn't know where the old Taoists who passed on his secret methods and Taoist exercises were now, and his life should be regarded as his salvation. Whether he admits it or not, he is already a Taoist disciple, should he go to Wudang Mountain first? From here to Wudang Mountain is estimated to be about the same distance as going to Lin'an, go to Wudang Mountain and then go to Lin'an, I don't know what year and month, maybe I like that place, just live there forever, or go to Lin'an first, finish my work, see the prosperity of the world, and then go to the cultivation is not right?

Just when he looked at the thoughts flashing in Xingchen's mind, he had already decided not to go to Wudang Mountain for the time being, but to go east to see the world first, to have a good time in the world, how to be born without entering the world.

Bathed in the night breeze and looking at the stars, his mind was empty, he completely relaxed, the dryness on his body gradually receded, and his heart returned to peace.

The sound of beating on the street is long and clear. Yang Congyi suddenly realized that he had insisted on practicing at four o'clock for three months, and he had completely forgotten it on the first day he came out.

Fortunately, the time had not yet passed, and there was still time to practice, so he hurriedly ran back to the room and went to bed and lay down.

Five dragons dormant method, four times a day to insist on practice, will achieve the best effect, this is what the old Tao told him, as for what the effect, the old Tao is not clear, only said that it is longevity, the Taoist exercises he practiced seem to be longevity, Taoism pursues longevity He can understand, but he can't just pursue longevity. As for the things that Lao Dao taught him, he was very suspicious of their usefulness, and felt that Lao Dao was not clear.

Lying on the bed, he let himself slowly calm down and began to practice the Five Dragons Hibernation Method.

The Five Dragons Hibernation Method is said to be a secret method, but it is not a secret at all in the eyes of outsiders, because it looks like it is sleeping. But those who practice these secret methods themselves know that they are not asleep, and they are even more awake, their eyes sharper, and their ears more sensitive than when they were not asleep.

Yang Congyi is like this at this time, he can clearly see everything in the room, clearly hear the small sounds inside and outside the house, but he can only hear and see, and then imprint it in his head, but he can't think.

In his opinion, not being able to think when practicing is the shortcoming of this secret method, why can't he think if he can see and listen? With the fact that he has not yet entered the realm of Taoism, of course, he can't understand why he can't think.

Taoism emphasizes the triad of heaven, earth and man, all laws are natural, and follow the trend. Shuntian road, natural road.

Even if you are not a cultivator, ordinary people see and hear more things when they are looking and listening, and if they want to think while watching and listening, they will inevitably be distracted, and they will only achieve nothing. Therefore, only by insisting on a specific word can we achieve something.

Yang Congyi wouldn't think about these things, at least not yet, because he didn't have the comprehension of cultivation yet, and he hadn't entered the threshold yet.

After practicing the secret method for half an hour, he took advantage of the situation, and fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

When I woke up, the sun was three poles.

The next day's events had nothing to do with him, whether it was finding or arresting people, he didn't need his help. After he checked and corrected the roster with Zhang Peng last night, the arrest had nothing to do with him, and it was estimated that he would not be required to play when the robbers were tried.

No movement could be heard outside, but it was destined to be an unquiet day. More than 20 bandits, plus their relatives, how many people should be, and then there will be no quarrel.

It is true that at sunset, Yang Congyi was practicing the secret method, and he clearly heard the crying outside, there were men, women, old and young.

The crying continued until he finished practicing the secret method and practiced the exercises, and it still didn't stop.

This is the beginning of the suffering of more than twenty broken families, whether it will last for decades or centuries, they themselves do not know, and no one else can know. The only thing they can do about the fear of an endless miserable life is to cry out loud, and after this day they will not have the opportunity to speak again, slaves or prostitutes, no one will listen to them, they will not be allowed to speak loudly, and if they do not obey, they may be put to death at any time.

Yang Congyi has heard some rumors about being a slave and a slave, and has seen some descriptions of those people's lives. That kind of life, dark daylight, that kind of pain, never ends. Although he sympathized with them, he could not save them, not because he did not want to, but because he couldn't. In his opinion, the continuous sitting is the most ruthless, cruel and vicious punishment in the past, but he is powerless, and even the current emperor cannot change it, because the continuous sitting has lasted for thousands of years and is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

He can only sympathize with those who are begging in pain. He could hear the people on the street rushing to the yamen, looking at the prisoners, the high-ranking officials, and the bustle.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. After a period of time, no one may mention tonight's events again, but they will remember that once after the Mid-Autumn Festival in a certain year, the lights inside and outside the county yamen were bright, and from the yamen to the streets, it was more crowded than the temple fair and more lively than the Spring Festival.

As for why it is crowded and lively, they may forget, but the scene they see, the noise they hear, and the feeling of crowding can be deeply imprinted in their hearts.
