Chu Qiangzhi was also too shocked, so he asked this sentence casually, he asked Liu Liang and Liu Chengzhen if they sold human flesh steamed buns, in fact, it was equivalent to asking whether the father and son of the Liu family were murderers, what answer could Liu Xiuya give him, then he must say no!

Liu Xiuya hurriedly said: "The woman has never said such things to Shang Wenbin, this is all made up by Shang Wenbin in order to cover up his crimes, and poured dirty water on the woman, so as to show that he is innocent!" ”

Li Rizhi stepped forward and said: "County Zun, the student thinks that as long as the confession of the Liu family father and son is obtained, then the case of Wang Yanxue and Shang Wenbin can be resolved, otherwise, this case may be delayed again and again, and even the original verdict can only be maintained, and if the Liu family father and son are arrested in other places after a few years, then it will be even more troublesome." ”

Li Rizhi said very tactfully, because this case has already been adjudicated, so if the case cannot be overturned immediately, then Shang Wenbin will be executed after a period of time, and if the Liu family father and son commit another crime in the future and are caught by other magistrates, when the time comes, it will be equivalent to indirectly proving that Shang Wenbin's case is an unjust case, and it will be too late to remedy it at that time.

Chu Qiangzhi broke out in a cold sweat, this Li Rizhi said well, now that the case is overturned, it is he who turned over the case himself, and he found fault with himself, this is not ashamed, but if Shang Wenbin is cut down and then the case is overturned by others, then Shang Wenbin will not survive, and his own official reputation for many years will be ruined, for him, this is unacceptable no matter what.

Chu Qiangzhi didn't dare to hesitate any longer, he patted the wood in shock, and said: "Put the prisoner Jin Liu in prison, and Shang Wenbin is still on death row." Gather all the officers in the county and go with the officials to arrest the Liu family father and son! ”

Liu Xiuya naturally panicked, she shouted that she was wronged, but no one listened to her, and Aunt Shang and Shang Wenbin's mother and son were surprised and happy, I didn't expect the county order to make up her mind so quickly and directly arrest the father and son of the Liu family, if Liu Liang and Liu Chengzhen can be caught, then Shang Wenbin can be re-convicted, at that time, it will definitely not be the death penalty.

The officials came up and escorted Liu Xiuya away, and took Shang Wenbin away, and Chu Qiangzhi also asked someone to bring the horse, he wanted to ride a horse to arrest the father and son of the Liu family, and the officials in Huayin County also gathered, in addition to the civil officials, there were fifty or sixty officials who could catch thieves with weapons!

Li Rizhi stepped forward and said: "County Zun, the student is not talented, although his strength is not enough, but he is willing to help the county Zun, and I hope that the county Zun will allow the student to follow!" ”

Chu Qiangzhi looked at Li Rizhi and Fu Guibao, nodded, and suddenly pointed at Fu Guibao with a smile, and said, "He can do it before the battle, so that the father and son of the Liu family can't escape!" ”

Fu Guibao grinned and said, "The student is a fake, it's more than enough to deal with Liu Xiuya, and it's not enough to deal with her father and brother!" ”

Chen Yingying said: "You are fresh and tender, the Liu family father and son like human meat buns the most, how can there be any reason not to like you!" ”

Fu Guibao widened his eyes and said, "My meat ......"

"Your meat is made into patties, and when it is eaten, it turns into and pulls it out and falls into the pit!" Chen Yingying said without a ladylike demeanor.

Fu Guibao said angrily: "Don't interrupt me, I mean my meat is not delicious, if you want to eat it, you can eat it, Mao Shao!" ”

In the quarrel between the two, everyone went out of Huayin County, and a group of people went out of the city and rushed to the inn opened by Liu Liang.

Out of the city, did not go much effort, then arrived near the riverside wharf, the big river leads directly to the north and south, there are hundreds of big boats on the river, and there are countless goods loaded and unloaded here every day, which is a very prosperous place, if you open a business here, it is difficult to make money.

In terms of scale, the inn opened by Liu Liang is not the largest in Huayin County, and it may not even rank in the top ten, but the business is very good, the inn is only dozens of steps away from the wharf, and the catchers almost know this inn and point it to Chu Qiangzhi.

Chu Qiangzhi looked at the inn, and felt that there was nothing remarkable, it was just an ordinary inn, and it would be up to the sky to see that there were thirty or forty rooms in size, and he said: "Surround the inn, go in and arrest people directly, if there is resistance...... Don't hurt anyone's life, don't worry about the rest! ”

When he gave the order, he hesitated, and originally wanted to say that it was okay to kill, but in case Liu Liang was not a Jiangyang thief, and that Shang Wenbin was biting people indiscriminately, wouldn't it be bad, so there was no need to kill people, but the government was on an errand, and if anyone dared to resist, it was still necessary to teach some lessons.

So, the catchers immediately rushed into the inn and began to arrest people in a ping-pong manner.

Li Rizhi watched from behind, he turned his head and said to Fu Guibao and Cheng Zizi: "If that Liu Liang is really a Jiangyang thief, then the officials will definitely not be able to catch him, you need to know the three caves of the cunning rabbit, how can there be no secret passage in such a big inn, there must be other exits." ”

Fu Guibao looked left and right, shook his head and said, "I don't know where that exit is, I'm not good at this, and it seems too late to open a hexagram now." ”

Cheng Zizai said with a smile: "I can't tell the hexagram, but if you want to ask me about digging a hole, then I still know a little bit about it, if there is really a tunnel, people dig holes and beasts dig holes, in fact, the ideas are almost the same, the escape hole must not be seen by the natural enemy, when there is no need to escape the hole, you can't let the idle people find out, this place is so lively, so the hole must not be on land, it must be by the river!" ”

Everyone nodded together after listening, yes, it should be by the river, the river is not far from the inn, and the river water level is lower than the inn, so as long as the tunnel exit is by the river, then it will not be discovered by idle people, and if someone in the inn escapes, he only needs to enter the river, and he will definitely be able to escape.

Just like now, although the catchers surrounded the inn, no one paid attention to the river, if Liu Liang was a Jiangyang thief, he only needed to enter the river, then it would be too simple to escape, maybe now Liu Liang is retreating into the secret passage!

Cheng Zizi observed for a moment and said, "There is a concave shape by the river, if it is me, then the secret passage opening must be placed here!" ”

Li Rizhi took a look, and sure enough, there was a concave on the shore almost a hundred steps away from the wharf, which made the originally smooth shore seem to have been bitten, the concave shape is not big, not suitable for parking boats, it is a little far away from the wharf, and there is not a single boat nearby, if there is really a secret passage, then it is very suitable to open the mouth there, and it is not too far, but the distance is enough to leave the encirclement!

A few people trotted all the way to the concave plot, Cheng Zizi took off his clothes, and jumped off the river with a plop, the river on the bank is not deep, at most it is over the chest, even if it is a person who can't swim, it can't be said to be too dangerous, of course, that Liu Liang should definitely be able to swim.

Cheng Zizi looked at it for a moment and said with a smile: "There is a hole here, but it seems to be a little smaller, oh, it is blocked by something, a small half of this hole is on the water, and it is also blocked by stones, if you don't look carefully, it's really easy to ignore the past!" ”

Li Ri knew: "It seems that the father and son of the Liu family have not escaped yet!" ”

But that is to say, at this moment, there was a sound of fighting from the inn, and Li Rizhi knew that the place where they were standing was about a hundred steps away from the inn, which was not close, and there could still be a sound of fighting coming from such a distance, it was obviously a fierce battle scene!

It is estimated that there are a lot of rangers or thieves in the inn, this is a place with convenient transportation, and there is an inn opened by Liu Liang, the criminals naturally want to use this place as a den, and the official suddenly came to arrest him, caught off guard, and saw that he could not escape, the rangers were just that, of course the thieves wanted to resist, there is no doubt about this.

After another moment, Cheng Zizi booed, and then dived into the water, Li Rizhi and Fu Guibao immediately looked for it on the shore, the shore was very clean, there were no sticks or anything like that, but there were still some stones, both of them picked up some stones, and held them in their hands, even Chen Yingying lifted a big stone, a stone as big as a person's head, ready, staring at the water!

Suddenly, there was a bang, and a person's head appeared above the water, which seemed to be the head of a big man, and this person came out of the water, first spit out a mouthful of river water, and then reached out to wipe the water on his face, wanting to open his eyes!

But before he opened his eyes, Li Rizhi, Fu Guibao and Chen Yingying smashed the stones in their hands together, they were all standing on the shore, and the big man in the river had just come out of the hole, and it was only a few steps away from the shore, so close, how could the stones not be smashed!

Bang, the big man's head was hit, bang, and twice, the big man screamed twice, and the blood on his head burst out, and he was about to drill into the water again, but the fourth stone hit his head again, this stone was bigger, Chen Yingying raised it with both hands, and then threw it over, not very accurate, but it was also so-so and smashed!

No matter how powerful the big man is, even if he has practiced the Iron Head Skill, but under such a heavy blow, he can't hold on, he falls down with his back to the sky, his eyes roll, it is estimated that if he can't wake up immediately, he will choke to death!

At this time, suddenly another head popped up when the water came, but it was an old man with gray hair, this old man's movements were similar to the big man in front of him, and his head was exposed first, spit out a mouthful of water, and then wipe the water on his face, but this old man had one more action than the big man, it seemed that he was in a hurry to speak, it was estimated that he probably wanted to ask the big man in front of him, why did he call, be careful to attract officials!

But as soon as the old man opened his mouth, his body fell sharply, as if someone was holding his waist and dragging him into the water, and he entered the water again in an instant!

Chen Yingying said happily: "It must be a junior brother, it must be a junior brother, it seems that there will be no one in the cave, this is the father and son of the Liu family!" ”

Fu Guibao said: "Senior brother, you are also called junior brother?" You're so embarrassed! ”

Li Rizhi and Fu Guibao stripped and kicked their shoes together, jumped into the water, first dragged the big man ashore, and then went to help Cheng Zizi, and dragged the old man to the shore in a moment, but these two people were already unconscious at this time, the old man was better, just choked on some water, but the big man was unlucky, his head was covered with blood, and then he choked a lot of water.

Chen Yingying shouted at the inn: "Come on, come on, Chu County Order, hurry up here, the father and son of the Liu family are here, there is a secret way here!" ”

She shouted too loudly and coughed a few times, but Chu Qiangzhi in the distance heard it, and the fight on their side had just ended, and dozens of officials grabbed seven or eight big men, all of whom were tied up, but there were no Liu family father and son among these seven or eight people.

Chu Qiangzhi was still wondering, this inn was surrounded by water, and they came suddenly, why did the Liu family father and son still run away, who sent them the letter, could it be that there was a traitor in the yamen and reported to the Liu family father and son?

However, it is not worth it to be a traitor to the father and son of the Liu family, what are the father and son of the Liu family!

Suddenly hearing someone shouting in the distance, Chu Qiangzhi looked to the shore and saw Chen Yingying and Li Rizhi them, and also saw them dragging two people from the river.

Chu Qiangzhi sighed, pointed to the shore, and shouted to the officials: "Over there, go over and take a look, and the official will also go over!" ”

Running around, Chu Qiangzhi came to the shore with a group of officials, and some officials shouted: "This is Liu Liang, but this is not his son, this, this person, ah, this person is a wanted criminal!" ”
