This question made everyone embarrassed, and they had the intention to deny that they had colluded with each other to frame Cheng Mingzhen, and they were afraid that this young master would be unhappy and refused to help communicate with Zhang Jincheng. I had the heart to admit that everyone had teamed up to fight him for their own purposes, but I really couldn't pull that face, so I was half-hearted, still holding the wine cup and looking around.

After going through an ordeal, today's Cheng Mingzhen is no longer the ignorant teenager he was a few days ago. Seeing that everyone didn't pick up, he put down the wine cup and continued to ask with a smile: "Has the real murderer been found?" Don't wronged anyone else! ”

"There are already eyebrows, there are eyebrows!" It was still Dong Zhushu who reacted quickly, and responded loudly before Cheng Mingzhen said something even more embarrassing to everyone, "Guo and Jia, the two arresters, have already set their sights on the person who framed you, as long as the evidence is conclusive, the real murderer can be arrested at any time." ”

"Oh! Then I'll have to see with my own eyes which bastard did the evil thing that can be blamed on me. Ordinary thieves must not have that ability. But there are only a few people in Guantao County, who would make trouble for me to find a big-headed township? ”

"If it is really found out that someone deliberately murdered you, this county will uphold justice for you. Whoever did it, they will be brought to justice! Being called Mingzhen forced him to have no way back, Lin County Ling had no choice but to agree. As for who the "real culprit" is, it's not too difficult to find. Anyway, Cheng Mingzhen will give him which one is not pleasing to the eye in the end. Otherwise, if you bother Zhang Da to do it himself, I don't know how many people will be martyred for the "real murderer".

"Then I'll thank the county lord?" Cheng Mingzhen raised the wine cup and greeted Lin County Ling from afar. "Xiao Ke has no long things, and what can be taken out to see people is this little reputation. If your reputation is ruined, you really won't be able to gain a foothold in this world! ”

"The prefectural magistrate has posted notices throughout the city to prove that your lawsuit has been wronged. If Brother Cheng still feels that it is not enough, I can also send my brothers to sound gongs along the streets to announce and restore your innocence! Dong Zhushu hurriedly raised the wine cup again, and responded to Cheng Mingzhen's question for Lin County. In fact, the people of Tao County in this pavilion don't know that Brother Cheng is everyone's life-saving benefactor. Isn't it? Zhang Jin said that when he came this time, he only set up the military camp outside the city gate, and did not even put an arrow into the city. If it weren't for Brother Cheng's appointment with him last time, how would he be willing to behave so well! (Please go to hotsk to support genuine)

"Yes, yes, last time it was thanks to Brother Cheng, this time, Brother Cheng has to come forward to make peace with Zhang Dangjia!" All the officials were not stupid, and when they heard the topic, they were forcibly twisted back to the right place by Dong Zhushu, and hurriedly held the wine cup and went down.

Cheng Mingzhen looked sideways at the master, and now the blind man was drinking and eating alone, and he didn't pay attention to what everyone said. smiled and said indifferently: "It's not a trouble." People don't believe in it, although Zhang Da is a green forest hero, he also knows the word 'Xinyi'. Lord Lin only needs to continue to talk about the agreement that was not finished last time. Presumably, this time the officers and troops will not come too suddenly, and both sides will have plenty of time! ”

The reason why Lin County Ling greeted Cheng Mingzhen out of the prison was because of the idea of repeating the luck of the last time. At this moment, the attempt in his heart was pierced by Cheng Mingzhen's words, and he didn't feel more panicked. Barely smiling a little, he said incoherently, "That's, that's!" Our county and Zhang Da Dangjia had an agreement before. This time, he came in person, which also shows sincerity and sincerity. It's just, it's just that the two sides haven't met, and it's very inconvenient to communicate. Cheng, since Cheng Jiaotou and Zhang Jin are sworn brothers, this Chinese person, the Chinese don't know if they can do it? ”

"That's nature!" Cheng Mingzhen had already figured out the needs of Lin Xianling and others, and took care of it with a smile. "After eating, Master and I went to Zhang Da Dang's house in person. Where the last negotiation was interrupted, we will pick it up this time. In short, everyone is good to get together and disperse, don't hurt the harmony! ”

At this time, Lin Xianling didn't dare to let Cheng Mingzhen go easily. In case one of them doesn't come back, the only thing that can make Zhang Jin call the rat trap will be lost. After making eye contact with Dong Zhushu, he stammered and said, "No, I don't dare to go to the head of the labor camp to mediate for me in person." Only, you only need to teach the head to write a letter! ”

Cheng Mingzhen just tilted his head slightly, and he had already guessed everyone's thoughts. After a slight groan, he replied with a smile, "It's okay, after eating, my lord will order someone to bring pen and ink." I haven't seen each other for a long time, so I should write a letter to greet Brother Zhang! ”

"That's, that's!"

"Brother Cheng Gaoyi!"

Seeing that Cheng Mingzhen was willing to mediate for everyone, the stone that the officials had put in their hearts finally landed. While praising the benefits of young people, he frequently raised lamps. Since Cheng Mingzhen agreed to repair the book, he no longer deliberately made things difficult for everyone. The cup was dry as soon as it arrived, and he didn't refuse to come, and in a blink of an eye, he drank with everyone again.

Following the old blind man's advice in prison, he could lead the topic to where he needed it. At the same time, carefully observe the expressions, movements and eyes of the people. Soon, through the synthesis of the rhetoric of several people, the current situation facing Guantao County was roughly felt.

It turned out that since the first day of his unjust imprisonment, Guantao County has been turbulent. First of all, the plaque of the yamen was secretly dyed black with ink, and then the city office, the post station, the door card, and several places that could make money for the county government were also set on fire and made trouble. Just when the officials were busy, the Zhou family of Guantao died inexplicably, all of them were walking on the road and were put cold arrows from the shadows, and they didn't even see the shadow of the murderer.

By this time, Lin County Ling had already "realized" that Cheng Mingzhen had been framed. Therefore, the officials were sent to "work hard" to search for evidence to clear Cheng Mingzhen's grievances. Unexpectedly, this move deepened the misunderstanding that Zhang Da was left in the eyes of the Taozhong in the museum, and he actually attracted the "righteous army" overnight.

In order to avoid the misunderstanding being irreparable, the county magistrate had to risk startling the grass and the snake and released Cheng Mingzhen from prison in advance. Fortunately, now the four gates of Guantao County have been blocked by Zhang Jin's people, and the wicked must have no way to escape. As long as the withdrawal agreement is reached with the heroes of the green forest, Guantao County will hand over the murderer who framed Cheng Mingzhen and the gifts prepared for Zhang Da's family, and will never let the wicked go unpunished.

Hearing everyone's explanation, the smile on Cheng Mingzhen's face was even stronger. As soon as the banquet ended, he immediately ordered someone to get a pen and paper, and wrote a letter to Zhang Jincheng in public. Tell the heroes of the green forest that everything is okay, and please rest assured that the brothers of Juluze can rest assured. Regarding the last agreement, Cheng Mingzhen also urged the "righteous brother" Zhang Jin to say that he must exercise restraint. Guantao County is not deliberately repaying the debt, but needs some time to discuss and prepare. At the latest, three days will definitely be able to meet all the requirements of Zhang Da's family.

At the end of the letter, Cheng Mingzhen brought up the old matter again. On the grounds that the small people in Guantao County are poor, please ask Zhang Da to raise his noble hand and spare people. After washing this small county, the rebels may not be able to increase a lot of gains, but they have lost a notoriety. Farmers are born to farm, craftsmen are born to strike iron, and merchants are born to make money, as long as the existence of Guantao County is maintained, wealth will be created in a steady stream, and the rebel army can be replenished in a long way.

A letter is written with reason, and onlookers can't find the slightest fault in it. Moved by the order of Delin County, he did not wait for the ink to dry up, so he ordered someone to envelope it and shoot it through the wooden fence of Nancheng to the gate of Zhang Jincheng's barracks.

As a reward for the righteous act, Dong Zhushu personally led people to vacate a large room in the backyard of the county government and invited Cheng Mingzhen's master and apprentice to rest. and sent four girls who looked pleasing to the eye to follow left and right, waiting for Cheng Zhuangshi's master and apprentice to take a bath and change clothes. Cheng Mingzhen's face was tender, and he hurriedly waved his hand and declined. The old blind man interjected with a smile: "You have injuries on your body, and you can't get into the water for the time being." Master, I have to wash away my bad luck. Let the four girls come to serve me, and by the way, ask Master Dong to prepare a few clean clothes for my master and apprentice! ”

"It should, it should!" Dong Zhushu was worried about how to have a good relationship with Cheng Mingzhen, and when he heard the old blind man say this, he couldn't wait to agree. 、

Cheng Mingzhen glanced at the master again, and saw that the old man's face was full of ease, and he didn't take a few little girls seriously at all. I had to smile and give up my hand, and accepted the kindness of Dong Zhushu. The master and apprentice were welcomed to the backyard like the stars and the moon, and then carefully placed. Lin Xianling, Dong Zhushu, Jia Zhutou, and Guo Zhutou casually said a few more gossips, and then left one after another on the grounds of not disturbing Cheng Mingzhen's recuperation. Before parting, more than a dozen brothers were arranged around the house, asking them to wait for Cheng Zhuangshi's orders at any time.

Knowing that he had been placed under house arrest by Lin County, Cheng Mingzhen didn't bother to bother with this dying man. Xiaohe closed the door and sat outside waiting to bring the master bath water. Before the little girls could boil the hot water, there was a gentle tapping sound outside the door. The horn boss Li Laojiu's peculiar male duck voice followed into the room, "Brother Cheng, Brother Cheng, can you let me go in and say a word to the old fairy?" I need his advice on something urgent! ”

"Master is ready to rest!" Cheng Mingzhen didn't want to take care of Li Laojiu, and responded with a smile, "Can you come back at night!" ”

"I, I'm really in a hurry!" Li Laojiu's voice was crying again, choking up and pleading.

"Let him in." Without waiting for Cheng Mingzhen to enter the room to ask the master for instructions, Duan Blind gave instructions through the curtain. The voice was not loud, but there was a faint trace of regret.
