A little beggar was about to speak. The old beggar kicked him in the foot. Ran Xin Yuan said, "We don't know. We didn't see anything. ”

Ke Yao saw it in his eyes. Instead, the smile was even stronger: "Aren't you staying here every day, how can you not know?" This bun is very fragrant! ”

A few beggars were hungry with a small soup dumpling, but now that they had a little food in them, they were even more cooing.

But the older little beggar shook his head and said, "Sister, we really didn't see it, we fell asleep in the early morning." ”

"Impossible, if a big living person falls downstairs, you will fall asleep?"

The beggar looked left and right, pulled the other beggars back two steps, "We really fell asleep." You're right? The older beggars asked the little beggars.

Several beggars were reluctant, but they all nodded their heads anyway.

Ke Yao smiled bitterly in his heart. If even the beggar doesn't dare to say what he thinks, it means that there is a big problem. She put the paper bag on the ground: "The girl who died is my good sister, I just want to know how she died." Since you see it and don't want to say it, then I can't help it, and my sister won't force you, give you these buns. ”

Say, stood up and turned around and walked out of the alley, into the Xiaoyao Building opposite.

The beggars hurriedly picked up the paper bags on the ground, ran away, and soon disappeared into the depths of the alley.

Du Wenhao and the others were sitting upstairs, there were a lot of guests, and it was easy to find a place to sit down, and the guy poured tea. Master Shen ordered a few side dishes and drinks.

The guy was leaving. Du Wenhao beckoned him to stop, took out a bunch of money from his pocket, put it on the table, and pushed it over: "This is for you." I'd like to ask you about something. ”

The guy had a smile on his face. Get busy, the hanging copper coin grabbed it and stuffed it into his arms: "Guest officer, please ask, there is nothing I don't know about in the entire Lugao County." Hehe.

"That's good, I passed by your door this morning, and I saw a guy around the door of your restaurant washing the ground, and there was blood on it, didn't you come out of anything?"

The smile on the man's face was a little stiff, he looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "Yes, a girl, from upstairs, stumbled and fell." Hey, so careless

Du Wenhao heard it. He asked, "I see that the fence on your upper floor is quite high, why did this girl fall down when she was so dignified?" ”

The guy said: "This" This little one didn't see it at the time, and he was busy in the kitchen.

"Really? Your shop should greet customers at the front and run to the kitchen in the back hall to do something

Dude's lies are exposed. He was even more flustered, nodded and said, "The little one is mistaken, I went to the thatched house at that time, and I really didn't see it." Sorry, wait, I'll go order the kitchen menu. After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Lin Qingdai said in a low voice: "There must be something wrong here." ”

Du Jianhao nodded: "Well, I don't know if Ke Yao, this girl, asked anything." Looking up, I just saw Ke Yao coming upstairs.

Walking to the table, Ke Yao sighed and sat down, took a sip of tea with a cup, and then said in a low voice: "I think those beggars must have seen something, but they just don't dare to say it." ”

Lin Qingdai said in a low voice: "The more I dare not say it, the more it shows that the girl did not fall by accident."

Ke Yao asked, "What now?" ”

Du Wenhao said: "Let's do it according to our plan first. ”

"Plans? What's the plan? Ke Yao asked.

"You'll find out in a moment."

"Humph! Sell off again! You don't want to say I don't want to hear it! Ke Yao deliberately twisted his face and said.

The four of them had already eaten before, so they just tasted a few bites casually, and then paid the bill and went downstairs.

As soon as he came out of the door, Ke Yao subconsciously looked in the direction of the alley, and suddenly saw a beggar squatting in the corner of the alley, waving at him.

Ke Yao was overjoyed in his heart, and said to Du Wenhao: "Shopkeeper, you go first, I'll go and take a look at those beggars, they seem to have something to say."

Ke Yao lowered his head and slowly walked into the alley, then quickened his pace, hurriedly came to the beggar, and saw that it was the older beggar just now, he nervously kept looking back and forth, beckoning Ke Yao to squat down.

After Ke Yao squatted down. The little beggar whispered and said quickly: "Your sister was caught by the county government's black-faced head and horse-faced, and they threw it down from the restaurant and fell to her death, don't say it's me!" After saying that, he ran away like a little mouse.

Ke Yao's body shook. The teeth rattled: "No wonder the fierce people had to drive people away and force them to drag the body back and bury it." These two dog thieves".

Ke Yao walked out of the alley. caught up with Du Wenhao and told them about it. The three of them all changed color when they heard this, and Lin Qingdai said angrily: "I'm going to kill these two lewd thieves tonight!" ”

Du Wenhao waved his hand and said, "Wouldn't that be cheaper for them?" Let's bring them to justice in a grand manner, so that we can follow suit! You just act according to my subordinates, just say it, and whispered a few words to Lin Qingdai.

Lin Qingdai nodded and agreed: "This method is good!" ”

Du Wenhao said with a smile: "When this matter is done, you will go to the yamen."

Ke Yao was taken aback: "Why are you going?" ”

"Beat the drum and cry out for grievances."

Ke Yao said: "Then aren't we playing to expose our identities, the matter of Liao Guibing?"

Du Wenhao smiled and said, "You don't believe in your Sister Qingdai's disguise technique?" We've already modified, and I think this disguise technique is still very good, so I shouldn't be able to see it. They would never have imagined that we would be here. ”

Ke Yao said: "Let's just go and beat the drum for that girl, the county is too reasonable, maybe the bad will beat us out!" ”

"It's normal, it's not normal if he doesn't fight. What, scared? ”

"Who's afraid? Go for it! Ke Yao straightened his chest and said in a fierce voice. So what do you do?

"Go to the yamen too. You are in front, we are behind, and we will also go to the Yamen

"Why are you going? Do you also beat the drum and cry out for grievances? ”

"The yamen has nothing else to do except beat the drum and voice grievances? Du Wenhao sneered: "I heard that there are many things that the Yamen of Jingjiang County does. For example, forcibly seizing and buying and selling land, and buying and selling people! Now add another one, forcing people to die! There is no evidence. Go to the yamen to get some evidence, and then it will be good to speak! ”

Yes? Lin Qingdai and Ke Yao were both taken aback: "What evidence?" ”

Master Shen smiled and said in a low voice, "No need to ask, the adults are already confident." Everything is subject to the arrangement of the adults

Du Wenhao also smiled and said: "I can't think of such bad ideas, most of them are the ideas of you, the military advisor."

"Your Excellency is too modest!"

In the county government to catch the fast house. The black-faced catcher was holding his knee and screaming, and one of Lang Zhong had already helped him take out the money dart in his knee. I'm wrapping his wounds.

The black-faced catcher screamed and said fiercely: "Damn, if Lao Tzu knew who attacked Lao Tzu, he would definitely be ugly to death!" ”

After Lang Zhong bandaged his wound and said goodbye and left, only the long-faced catcher and the black-faced catcher were left in the house, and the long-faced catcher quickly went over and closed the door. With a gloomy face, he said to the black-faced headcatcher: "Headcatcher." This kid who sneaked up on you, could it be that he knew about the chick we got in the morning and came to find our stubble? ”

The black-faced head catcher knocked him on the head: "You don't have a brain?" If he comes for us, won't he take our lives? That chick was thrown downstairs and killed if we couldn't force us to rape her! ”

"That's it, hehe, don't say it, this chick is fucking spicy, dead or alive. However, after having this time. The whole embroidery street is afraid that I know how powerful it is to catch heads, and next time I will find an embroidery girl to accompany the wine, I dare not come, and I dare not follow. Hey.

"Well, this Buddha's hand spring is our master's, the girl in this shop, that's not the person under our brother's crotch? If he doesn't listen to Lao Tzu, there is only one way to die."

Just then, a gust of wind drifted by, and a man fell from the roof beam. The black clothes are masked, the short blades in their hands, and the cold light is shining.

The long-faced head catcher reacted quickly, and reached out to draw a single knife on his waist, at the same time. The black-faced head catcher opened his mouth to call for help.

The black-clothed man shook his hand, and several money darts shot out, and the two of them felt a pain in their bodies, couldn't shout, the sky was spinning, and they fell to the ground and fainted with a bang.

When the two woke up, they were now in a dark room, and their bodies were tied like rice dumplings, and they couldn't move at all.

A man's voice said coldly: "I told you in detail how you forced the girl to rape the grass girl and threw her off the Xiaoyao Tower and fell to her death, and also, I told you all about oppressing the people and doing evil, otherwise, it will be better for you to live than to die!" ”

The black-faced head catcher Zhang Huang asked, "Who are you?" ”

Immediately, he received a heavy kick on the head, kicking him so that his eyes were full of stars, and a female voice scolded: "Don't ask, only answer." Ask what you answer! ”

"Yes, yes!" The black-faced head catcher tried to play tricks, and said with a pitiful look: "Uncle, eldest sister, you have misunderstood. We are good people, we are the fast catchers of the Yamen, we don't know the grass at all, and we have never done anything to be sorry for the people

The long-faced catcher also struggled and said, "Yes, yes, we've never done it"

With a bang, the two catchers were poked by something on their bodies, and the pain immediately broke their hearts, and then, the pain quickly spread to the whole body, and the pain made the two of them can't help but scream loudly.

The man said coldly: "Call it, even if you break your throat, no one can hear it!" ”

A female voice said: "I can hear what you muttered in the Yamen Catching Fast Room before, and there is also evidence to prove that you threw the grass girl down the Xiaoyao Building and fell to her death, and you will obediently explain the truth, so as not to suffer from the flesh and skin, otherwise, let you two dog thieves die like this, and then throw them into the mass grave to feed the wild dogs!" 1. Isn't that what you often like to do? ”

The two catchers completely collapsed at this time, and the long-faced catchers said first: "Spare your life!" Spare your life! I said, "I said everything, we did it, we forced the rape, and threw the grass girl downstairs, trying to scare and scare other embroidery girls" Ouch! ”

The black-faced catcher also hissed: "I'll confess, ouch" I confessed "spare my life,"

The man's voice said: "Almost all the fertile fields in your Jingjiang Mansion have been harvested, saying that there is a natural disaster, but there is no disaster at all in the neighboring prefectures and counties, but a bumper harvest, saying, what is there in you?"

The black-faced head catcher groaned in pain, and said: "I said, this is all done by the prefect Liao Guibing, as well as the magistrates of the counties, we are just running errands, and the specific situation is not very clear, it is all his and the county magistrate's idea." ”

"What the hell is going on. said".

"I said, I,"

Lugao County Yamen. Two stone lions were placed on each side of the east side of the yamen on the platform, and a drum was placed. The body of the drum is all red, the core of the drum is slightly white, and a mallet for beating the drum is placed on the drum stand.

Ke Yao and Lin Qingdai have changed into women's clothes, wearing coarse cloth long skirts, their heads are also haphazardly coiled, and a lot of wrinkles have been wiped on their faces with glue. The two came to the front of the hall. Ke Yao walked up to the platform and crackled with a mallet.

Soon. A soap is mentioned as one. The water and fire stick ran out, looked Ke Yao up and down, and shouted angrily: "What knock, knock on Lao Tzu and you will hear it, you want to smash the drum of the yamen?" ”

Ke Yao pretended not to hear, and then knocked a few more times. The soap picked up the water man's stick and shouted, "Don't knock! Beware of Lao Tzu giving you a stick! ”

"Little sister, don't knock! The official is out! Lin Qingdai greeted Ke Yao. Hurriedly stepped forward and said to the soap Li Fuli: "This poor master, my sister is anxious, and the drum is a little loud, so I can't hear you."

Ke Yao stopped the drumstick and shouted at the top of his voice: "It's wronged."

The soap said sharply: "Don't howl! You came to beat the drum, you didn't knock a fart, do you still need to howl? What's the grievance? ”

"My sister was beaten to death!"

"Oh, a life lawsuit, it will cost a lot of money, do you have to bring it over?"

Ke Yao restrained his dry howl: "What kind of money? ”

The official glanced at Ke Yao with disdain: "Hillbilly, how can it be so easy to fight a lawsuit?" Don't know the rules? Uncle saw that you were pitiful, and told you that a lawsuit costs money, whether it is the plaintiff or the defendant, do you think that our county lord can see it if he wants to? ”

Ke Yao looked cowering and asked, "What are the rules, how can I meet the county master?" ”

The official held out a finger.

Ke Yao was puzzled: "A copper coin? ”

The official was so angry that his face turned green: "Fart! A copper coin? When you are the master, my name is Hanako?

"Huh? So much, huh? ”

The official tilted his head. Said: "You drink the northwest wind every day as an official of us?" Tell you, this is the case money. If you don't file a lawsuit, I'm too lazy to run away, get out of the way if you don't have money! ”

Ke Yao muttered: "It's really a yamen, don't come in if you have reason and no money!" ”

The officials didn't hear clearly. Glaring, "What are you talking about?" ”

"Didn't say anything." Ke Yao turned his head and looked at Lin Qingdai pitifully: "Sister, what's the matter."

Lin Qingdai took out a cloth bag from her arms, untied it, and counted one hundred Wen to Ke Yao. Ke Yao handed it to the soap. When Lin Qingdai counted, Soap Li had already seen it clearly, and he didn't count it again at the moment, so he happily received it in his arms and glanced at them: "Come with me!" ”

The two of them followed the soap to the backyard of the county government, where there were several rows of bungalows, which was the office area for the yamen to handle all kinds of official business. handed the two to another soap, and then ignored it and left.

The soap was spread out in his hand: "Pass the money!" ”

Ke Yao muttered, "What the hell? ”

"The top man's money? Hurry up! Lao Tzu was very busy. ”

Ke Yao asked cautiously, "Didn't you give it before?" ”

"He's him, I'm me. Mine hasn't been given yet! If you don't give it, get out! ”

"Multi-...... How much? ”

"One hundred texts! I don't understand the rules, and I'm still a fart lawsuit! ”

Lin Qingdai had no choice but to take out the cloth bag from her arms, counted a hundred and handed it to the soap.

Soap Li swept the silver taels in his hand, glanced at Du Wenhao and the four of them with disdain, and shook his head: "Let's go, go to the torture room to register!" ”

Soap led them both into the bungalow and handed them over to a scribe. The scribe coldly asked for another hundred yuan, and then asked, "What kind of case are you suing?" ”

"Death lawsuit!"

"Sue whom?"

Lin Qingdai said: "Sue the county government's black-faced head catcher and long-faced catcher, they threw my sister downstairs and died!" ”

The scribe was stunned for a moment, and put the pen in his hand on the pen stand: "What did you say?" ”

"We are from Chaoxi Village, my sister-in-law's name is Cao'er, in the embroidery street" Buddha Hand Spring. As an embroiderer, this morning, she was thrown down from the Xiaoyao Building next door by the black-faced head catcher and long-faced catcher of the yamen and fell to her death

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was stunned.

The scribe stood up with a sigh of relief: "Do you say it's okay?" Don't talk nonsense if you don't refuse

Lin Qingdai said coldly: "Of course there is a basis!" However, this basis will not be taken out until we see the county master. ”

The scribe felt that the situation was serious, and changed his smiling face: "Please be seated, please be seated!" I'll report to the county master right away! ”

The outer flower hall of the yamen signature room.

After dressing up in disguise, Du Wenhao and Master Shen became two broken households. Cowering sitting.

In the room of the signing room is the temporary rest room of the magistrate, and at this moment the door is closed, and there is a faint sound of talking.

In the middle, Zhou Zhixian of Lugao County was wearing official robes under the service of a bewitching woman. The woman said in a curvy, delicate voice: "Master, can't you go to the office later?" ”

"Baby, soon. Wait, sir, I'll be back soon. ”

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"It's said that there are two poor people who want to sell their land."

"Then take the slave family to take a look? The slave family also wanted to buy land. ”

"Okay, you served the master quite comfortably, and the land of these two people belongs to you!"

"Really! Thank you, sir! ”

The signing room and the flower hall are connected, and Zhou Zhixian brought the bewitching woman to the flower hall.

Du Wenhao heard a burst of laughter from inside, and soon the door opened, and a bewitching woman was wearing a red silk dress. The neckline is opened very low, revealing half of the plump breasts, a pair of eyes that are more charming than peach blossoms are very attractive, the beads on the head shine with dazzling light, and the bright red lips are slightly raised, and she is a good woman.
