Hearing his questioning, the county guard said in embarrassment: "This ...... Master Li, it's not that the lower officials ignore it, but the local customs are like this, and the lower officials can't take care of it. ”

What kind of is this! When Li Gongfu heard this, he frowned, and said coldly: "As a parent official of a place, you have turned a deaf ear to such a careless matter of human life!" I dare to say in front of my own official what is the local custom! It just doesn't make sense! My Fengguo, under the rule of the king, has strict laws! How can there be such superstitious customs! You county guard! I think it's the end of it! ”

Yes!? When the county guard heard this, he was startled, and he hurriedly wanted to explain something, but before he could speak, Li Gongfu continued to shout:

"I'll ask you! If sacrificing to the river god would solve all problems! Then what army do I need in the country of wind! What else do you want officials like us to do!? Kindness!? ”

"This ...... This ......" the county keeper stammered and couldn't speak.

Li Gongfu said again: "Judging from this official! It's the case of Ercha that is unfavorable! There is no ability to solve the problems in the prefecture! I want to shirk the responsibility and push it on some ridiculous river god! ”

Ah! Hearing him say this, the county guard screamed in surprise, and hurriedly flattered: "My lord Mingjian, my lord Mingjian, it's not that the subordinate officials are not good for handling the case, but it's really impossible to investigate." ”

"Humph! How one can't be found! Tell me about it! Li Gongfu snorted coldly.

The county guard wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with the sleeve of his official uniform, swallowed his saliva, and said: "Recently, there have been many strange things in the county, first the big families in the city have been stolen one after another, and the lost silver is missing, and just when the lower official ordered the city lieutenant to start investigating the matter, the lost silver appeared in the hands of some poor people unconsciously. They all claim that the river god delivered the silver to their door in the middle of the night! ”

"It's as simple as that?"

"No, no, no." The county guard hurriedly said: "After returning all the stolen silver to those big households, strange things happened again, and even those big families said that they were the work of the river god......

"Humph! It's ridiculous! This is clearly artificial! Could it be that the county guard, as an official of the court of my wind country, also believes in the river god? Didn't you investigate further!? Li Gongfu asked again.

"Tune ...... I investigated, but there was no clue at all. The county guard replied.

"So, you just pushed the boat down the river, and simply put all the blame on the river god?" Li Gongfu sneered, and then said in a straight voice:

"What a river god! Even if there really is a river god! Then it doesn't have as big as you! Because you are the parent of a land! The rivers of the county are also under your jurisdiction! ”

His words are righteous and awe-inspiring, and he also said that the county guard is red-faced!

As he spoke, Li Gongfu stood on the bank of the river, he was wearing an official uniform, he was upright, and said angrily at the river: "I am the minister of the three grades of the great wind!" If there really is a river god! Let him come out to me! ”

Ah! Hearing him shouting so angrily, the hundreds of people watching behind him were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt on the ground and said:

"Master Qincha, don't offend the river god, otherwise, our entire county will suffer......"

"Yes, Master Qincha, there really is a river god......"

Listening to the remarks of the ignorant people around him, Li Gongfu took a deep breath, immediately turned around, looked at the people kneeling on the ground, and said loudly: "Okay! Since you all think there is a river god! That official is here to cut off the case of this river god this time! ”

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Gongfu returned to the county government from the river, and when he arrived at the county government, he first ordered people to pass on all the poor people who had received the rewards of the river god, and then began to inquire one by one, and finally came to the conclusion that there was a man covered in water who brought them silver.

Then there were the big thieves, and they came to the conclusion that the treasury silver disappeared out of thin air, leaving only a puddle of water stains, which was suspected to be the work of the river god.

Subsequently, Li Gongfu began to peel off the cocoon, he called Chen Fang, and said to him: "Fundamentally, the current situation we have, this king suspects that the person who committed the crime may be related to water, that is, he is very likely to come from the water, so the focus of this case is still on the river." ”

"What do you mean by ......," Chen Fang asked in a condensed voice.

"This official intention, set up a set, let this river god drill! See what the hell is sacred! Li Gongfu Zhengse said.

"Since he can steal a large amount of silver taels out of thin air, he must be extremely accomplished in light skills, therefore, Leader Chen, this time to capture the river god, you have to rely on your secret guards." Li Gongfu said again.

"Your Excellency, just command!" At this time, Chen Fang was also interested, and immediately hugged his fists and said when he heard the words.

The next day, Li Gongfu deliberately set up a trap, he first spread rumors in the city, claiming that he had captured the river god, and would interrogate him severely, he expected that after the river god heard the news, he would definitely come out at night to prove that he had not been caught, and by the river, there were already secret guard masters in ambush.

Late at night.

The sound of the wind breaking through the sleeves of the shirt was heard, and a black shadow tread from the river.

Seeing this, Chen Fang, who was hidden on the shore, flashed a fine light in his eyes, and secretly said that there was indeed a ghost!

He suppressed the excitement in his heart and gestured to the guards covertly.

Everyone understood, and immediately dispersed quietly, blocking the path of the black shadow from all directions.

And when the black shadow landed, Chen Fang was also the first to jump out, and a cold light appeared, and the black sheath battle knife was already out of its sheath!

The black shadow didn't seem to expect that there was an ambush by the river, and after being stunned for a while, he also pulled out the sword on his waist and fought with Chen Fang!

The swords collided, and the two of them were separated, and Chen Fang sneered: "Does the river god also use a sword?" ”

"Who are you!?" The dark shadow asked coldly.

Chen Fang sneered: "Come and arrest the person you have brought to justice!" ”

With his words, the other secret guards also jumped out one after another, completely surrounding the black shadow.

"River God, you can't fly! Drop your weapon, or save your life! Otherwise, there is only a dead end! ”

"Hahaha - you want to kill me? Are you qualified!? The black shadow looked up and smiled, perhaps, he didn't know that Chen Fang's group of people were secret guards, but he subconsciously thought that they were just ordinary officials.

And against ordinary officials, he is 100% sure!

It's a pity that he was wrong, who is Chen Fang, that is the deputy leader of the dark guard, and his skills are so high, I'm afraid it's only a little bit worse than Liang Xiao.

Not to mention that the black shadow is a person who pretends to be a god and a ghost, even if he is the top master in the rivers and lakes, it is impossible to get away under the siege of Chen Fang and these secret guards!
