Yao Guangqi shook his head and signaled to open the door, Deacon Wu stepped forward with a twist, turned the doorknob, the door slowly opened, and before Deacon Wu spoke, a thick Huizhou accent had already come out: "Old Wu, they left so soon, thanks to you, the money is in my ......" Before the words fell, a person walked out of it, this person was about forty years old, not tall, dark skin, small eyes and a collapsed nose, at first glance, he was a typical Jiangnan water town. As soon as this man poked his head out, he froze, because he saw Deacon Wu in front of him blinking at him, and behind Deacon Wu, there was a young man less than twenty years old, this person just wanted to withdraw and enter the secret room again, when he saw a figure, the young man behind Deacon Wu appeared in front of him like lightning, and he didn't even see the other party's movements clearly, he found that he couldn't move.

Yao Guangqi stood in front of Deacon Liu with a smile, and his tone was very relaxed: "You are Deacon Liu?" ”

Deacon Liu didn't speak.

Yao Guangqi smiled again and said: "I didn't point your dumb acupoints, you can speak, what I ask, you answer, if you don't answer, I will point to you a few more acupoints, some acupoints, it will hurt very much, you will be in pain, although this method is cruel, but I have no other way." ”

Deacon Liu still didn't speak, and he closed his eyes, with a loving expression, from the perspective of criminal psychology, Deacon Liu's mentality is very understandable, I just don't say it, what can you do with me? Our Northeast dialect: love what's wrong.

Yao Guangqi shook his head helplessly, and his fingers lightly, "Ahh......h Bastard, brute, you're a fucking white-eyed wolf, how did I save such a thing as you. Deacon Liu scolded for a long time, but he just didn't say anything.

At this moment, the mustache and the big-eyed donkey led a group of officials have returned, standing outside the window and looking into the house, they understand the approximate, the two turned over and entered the house, the mustache said angrily to Yao Guangqi: "My lord, although your method is good, but this bastard has made up his mind to be hard to the end, the villain has a way to make him speak immediately, the adult might as well let the little one try." ”

Yao Guangqi nodded, and the mustache turned to Deacon Liu and smiled: "Bastard, you actually play with Lao Tzu, I will let you see the means of the Lord now......" As he spoke, the mustache pulled out something from his arms, scissors are not like scissors, and tweezers are not like tweezers, and shook it in front of Deacon Liu's eyes, "Do you recognize it?" It doesn't matter if you don't recognize it, you will remember it for a lifetime. ”

As he spoke, he grabbed Deacon Liu's hand, clamped one of Deacon Liu's nails, and raised his mustache again after clipping: "You can think about it, and give you one last chance, as long as you say it truthfully, you will not be offended, if you don't say it, my means can make you worse than dead, and the nails of your ten fingers are gone." ”

Deacon Liu's head was already sweating, but he gritted his teeth and didn't say a word. The mustache smiled: "Good man, then there is no way." As he spoke, he suddenly pulled out Deacon Liu's nails, "Ah" Deacon Liu shouted heartbreakingly, and then fainted, and the mustache stepped forward and knocked on Deacon Liu's head hard, waking him up, and Deacon Liu began to wail again as soon as he woke up.

Yao Guangqi felt that this method was too cruel, motioned for the mustache to retreat, and said sympathetically: "Why bother to suffer this, I believe that you didn't want to kill anyone, as long as you say it, I promise that you will not suffer this crime again." ”

I said...... "Pain can change people's minds, and this time Deacon Liu is no longer attached and takes the initiative to explain."

This Deacon Liu has been working in the Ink Hall for almost 20 years, and he has been in charge of contacting the ink craftsmen for many years. One day twelve years ago, he was bitten by a poisonous snake on the way to collect ink, and on the eve of his life, a passing Taoist priest saved his life, he was grateful, but there was no money on him at that time, and it happened that he had just received ink, so he gave it to the Taoist. Later, this person found him and said that he liked this ink very much, and hoped to buy some, Deacon Liu then knew that his life-saving benefactor was the immortal master passed down by the people by word of mouth, and was a living immortal who cured diseases and saved people and Pudu sentient beings. Later, Deacon Liu heard that a disciple of an immortal master founded the Tianxia League, although he did not join the Tianxia League, but he also contributed incense money to the Tianxia League.

"The immortal master you are talking about, but a person from Tianyi Dao?" Yao Guangqi asked.

Deacon Liu nodded: "It's Tianyi Dao, everyone calls him Immortal Master, that's really a living immortal, he has saved a lot of people, and no one among the people doesn't admire him." ”

Yao Guangqi's heart flashed, and sure enough, it was him, and then he asked, "Why did you kill Hu Jiaofen?" ”

Deacon Liu Zhenzhen said: "It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that the immortal master was killed by the enemy, and the Tianxia Alliance founded by his disciples was also hacked by other gangs. At this time, you came to find the person who used that ink, the kind of ink made by Hu Jiaofen is very rare, and as far as I know, there are only three people who use that kind of ink, and the ink you use to find him must be his enemy. ”

Yao Guangqi sighed in his heart, the people didn't know why, and they were really deceived by the appearance of this immortal master: "There are only three people who use this kind of ink, who are the other two?" ”

Deacon Liu replied: "One is a famous Confucian in the south of the Yangtze River, and the other is a scholar named Guo Huan. ”

"Guo Huan?" Yao Guangqi silently repeated the name, which was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it for a while. "Of these three people, did Guo Huan and Fang Keqin buy ink from you? Only the ink of Tianyi Dao people was sent by you, right? Did you know that they know each other? ”

This time, Deacon Liu thought for a while: "I am not familiar with the scholar surnamed Guo, and besides, when the guests come to Dingmo, they all tell the store directly, although I also receive them, but generally only have a short time to contact them." But Fang Keqin, I have heard of some, I heard that there was a plague in their area, it was cured by the immortal master who practiced medicine and medicine back then, the Fang family is a big local family, and I heard that many people have joined the Tianxia Alliance, and I don't know the rest. ”

This is another important clue, it seems that the Tianxia League still has a deep foundation in Ninghai, and there is a big family like the Fang family to support, Yao Guangqi has to continue to ask, only to see a servant hurriedly running in outside, lying on the mustache's ear and muttering a few words, the mustache immediately came to Yao Guangqi with a smile: "My lord, the county commander has an invitation, saying that someone is asking to see you in the county office." ”

Yao Guangqi was suspicious in his heart, how could anyone ask to see me? In desperation, I had to go back to the county government first, and as soon as I entered the gate of the county office, I saw the county commander He Shengzhi greeted him with a smile on his face, and his tone was still the same: "My lord, someone from the state has come to see you." ”

"In the state? Meet me? Yao Guangqi was shocked in his heart, "How can anyone in the state come to visit me, I went out of Beijing to do business this time, and I haven't said hello to your state." ”

He Shengzhi still smiled and said: "My lord, you came to this county in Weifu, and the county is afraid of not taking good care of you, and afraid of revealing your identity, so I specially asked the state secretly, and Shangguan was also afraid of delaying your business, so I sent a few colleagues to help you." ”

Yao Guangqi understood, and secretly said in his heart that this county order was really a chicken thief, and he was afraid of offending himself, so he didn't dare to verify his identity in person, but he was afraid that he was an impostor, and he was afraid that he would take responsibility for the black pot in the future, so he came up with this method and threw the problem to his superiors, and it was the norm of officialdom to report something, so that he would not be responsible for it, so he understood this, Yao Guangqi smiled and said: "Please invite the officials from the state to meet in the second hall." ”

"This is Lord Zhou, the same knowledge of this state!" He Shengzhi introduced with a smile.

At first glance, this Lord Zhou was an old fritter in the officialdom, with a slight waist and a smile on his face, but he did not speak in a low voice, and even a little tough: "My lord, can you show your waist card to the lower officials." ”

Yao Guangqi took out the waist card and handed it to Zhou Tongzhi, the surnamed Zhou respectfully took it, looked at the front and back repeatedly, but did not say anything, and then respectfully handed the waist card back to Yao Guangqi, and said at the same time: "My lord, do you carry your seal letter and Kanhe with you?" ”

Yao Guangqi put away his waist card and said quietly: "The seal letter is not carried with me, and it is inconvenient to carry so many things on secret business." ”

Zhou Tongzhi's face sank slightly, and he still said with a smile: "The adult did not carry the seal letter and Kanhe, only this waist card, and the lower official could not confirm your identity, so please go back to the state with the lower official, and send a letter to the capital from the state, as long as the identity of the adult is confirmed, the lower official and others will fully cooperate and assist." ”

Yao Guangqi knew that once he sent a letter, he would inevitably reveal his stuff, but he still seemed very calm: "Is this the departure?" I haven't fully understood the case yet. ”

He Shengzhi on the side hurriedly took over: "Don't worry, the relevant personnel in this case will be detained by the county, and they will not be interrogated privately, and everything will be decided when the adults come back." ”

Yao Guangqi nodded with satisfaction: "Let's go, Lord Zhou, let's go and go back quickly." ”

Two days later, Yao Guangqi and Murong Qing appeared in Ninghai and rode horses for a day and a night, Murong Qing's tired eyes were red, and he complained: "Two days ago, I was treated as a guest by others, but now I have become a mourning dog, it seems that your waist card is not easy to use." ”

Yao Guangqi saw a restaurant with a big signboard in front of him, so he led the horses of the two and walked forward: "Who has the leisure time to talk to them, anyway, there are new clues, let's go, fill your stomach first." ”

Before arriving at the door of the store, a little second trotted out and said with a smile on his face: "Two, you really have a vision, our store is a famous old store, our chef, but he has been to the capital and made imperial meals for the emperor, leave this horse to me, and promise to feed you the best forage." ”
