After a long discussion in the house, it was decided to immediately gather all the manpower, go to the county government to find the magistrate, take him to the law, and find the letters and some evidence in Liu's house, and it was enough to occupy and take him down.

Ji Xiaolan said, "My lord, since the matter has come to this, there is no need to think about it, it is right to send someone to take Yao Zhixian quickly, if the evidence is insufficient, you must control it first, if you let him run, prepare afterwards, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with." “

Everyone was on the same page.

There were also dozens of people under the general who surrendered before, and Xiao Jian surrendered, Qiu Tongmian is a serious court official, and he is not a thief, who heard that Qiu Tongmian is the champion from the capital, so there is a reason for disobedience.

Coupled with the previous Liu Fu Jiading, together with the new heroes in the rivers and lakes, there are already hundreds of people available for use, and after making up his mind, Qiu Tongmian asked Xiao Jian and Chen Jinnan to go to the county government to arrest Yao Zhixian.

Everyone was tired all the way, and the nerves that had been tense after entering the city, this matter could finally relax for a while, Qiu Tongmian asked people to prepare more good food and wine, and beckoned everyone to fill their stomachs first.

Qiu Tongmian had not yet taken a sip of wine, and saw Xiao Jian's subordinates escorting a person in an official robe in.

"My lord, this person is a county magistrate in the city, and he fled outside the city with a group of officials, and was escorted back by his subordinates.

When Qiu Tongmian heard that it was a county magistrate, this was the local second-in-command, he saw him with his head down and his legs trembling, so he asked, "Why do you want to run?" ”

Hu Xiancheng listened to him, raised his head and said stubbornly, "Okay, you are a champion, this official is a seven-grade county official, and your little nine-rank sesame official dares to question me, I have no respect, this official has official business to do when he goes out of the city, why do you want to send someone to tie me up, is there still Wang Fa in my eyes, and I am still in the Qing Dynasty?" ”

Qiu Tongmian was too lazy to listen to his roar, and shouted to him, "The lower officials are ordered by the emperor, and this time I have come to investigate and punish corrupt officials and corrupt officials. ”

Hu Xiancheng shouted, "Then why are you detaining the old man, do you have evidence of my corruption, don't you let me wait quickly, or wait for me to invite the king of Pingxi and let the king of Pingxi participate in you, and then you will not be far from death." ”

Qiu Tongmian heard him bring out the king of Pingxi to threaten him, and said angrily, "Ridiculous, bold and chaotic ministers and thieves, do not recognize the monarch's father, but only recognize a small vassal king, eat the king's luck, but do not worry about the king's sharing, like you, a chaotic minister and thief without a king and a father, killing you is cheap for you, come on, drag him down and beat him for fifty boards, and then lock him up, and wait for the official to raid his home, this evidence will come." ”

Hu Xiancheng was dragged down crying and screaming, and when he saw everyone looking at him, he said, "You eat first, I don't have the heart to eat, go to the county government to see the situation first." ”

When he rode to the county office, seeing the large army rushing back, Xiao Jian stepped forward and said, "My lord, I didn't find that Yao Zhi County, I heard from the people in the county government that I went out of the city a few days ago." ”

After Qiu Tongmian heard this, he grabbed his hair and said, "It's too bad, if he learns that his hometown has been raided, will he run Wu Sangui and cry and make a fuss." ”

Xiao Jian also nodded, "Nine times out of ten, it will definitely be." ”

"After a lot of calculations, I didn't count that the one surnamed Yao was not in the city, I wanted to catch it all, but the biggest fish was not in the river."

Xiao Jian said, "Since he is not here, it is better for us to preemptively occupy the county government and post notices to inform the people." ”

Qiu Tongmian nodded and said, "Yes, you hurry up and send someone to the county government to collect official documents, all the letters, after sorting out, wait for Mr. Zheng to write the folds, belong to my name, and send a fast horse to the capital." ”

Xiao Jian responded, turned around and wanted to leave, Qiu Tongmian said again, "You go to collect the evidence in person, and all the letters must be safeguarded." ”

"My subordinates understand."

Qiu Tongmian came to the county government and saw Chen Jinnan looking at the plaque in the county government hall with his hands behind his back, 'The mirror is hanging.'

"Do you feel any feelings?"

Chen Jinnan arched his hand and said, "My lord, I don't have any feelings about my humble position, but I just remembered some past events when I saw this plaque." ”

Qiu Tongmian asked curiously, "Oh? Chen Daxia has also been an official before? ”

"The original name of the humble post is Chen Yonghua, and my father is Chen Ding, who was the magistrate of Tong'an County, Fujian Province when he was alive, and I grew up in the county government before I was fifteen years old, so I remembered my father when I saw the plaque."

Qiu Tongmian said, "What about later."

Chen Jinnan looked up at the plaque and sighed, "When the Qing soldiers went to Fujian, my father refused to die, and under this plaque, the hanging beam committed suicide. “

Qiu Tongmian only knew that Chen Jinnan in the novel was the helmsman of the Heaven and Earth Society and the leader of the anti-Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, but he didn't know that there was still this past. ”

"Don't dare to hide it from adults, there were a few years ago!" Chen Jinnan arched his hand.

Seeing that he was willing to say, Qiu Tongmian nodded approvingly, "Whether you had it before or now, you must know that this official is now holding the imperial court's money, and this must not be mentioned to anyone again, because it is your father's business." ”

After saying that, he told him to go and greet the people in the previous house, and all of them moved here.

Looking at the decoration and space of the back office, it is much better than the courtyard of the previous alternate magistrate, and if there is a good place to live, it will not be a fool.

"My lord, there are still many family members in the back office, what should I do?" A servant stepped forward and asked.

"His family, children and whatever, all of them are in prison, maids or something, find a decent and sensible person, stay and do things, and let her go if you don't want to."

"Obey the order of the county lord."

Qiu Tongmian heard him call himself a county magistrate, walked to a copywriter and sat down, and said with a smile, "You are an elf, what is your name." “

The official arched his hand and said, "Humble Roda." ”

"Well, do you know how many people are left in the official now?"

The official said embarrassedly, "Just humble and the other two comrades." “

"Why don't you run?"

"Humble officials have always been above board, disdainful of working with corrupt officials, they are guilty of running away, but there is no need to run for lowly duties."

Qiu Tongmian saw that his eyes shrank, and said secretly, I'm afraid that people won't take you to play. But it didn't show it on his face, and nodded.

"This yamen usually performs official duties, and it is not okay if there are fewer people, in this way, Luo Da, give you an errand, you can find someone to make up for the lack of officials as soon as possible, and in the future, all the officials will listen to you, and the officials who ran away in front must have absconded in fear of crime, and you will go to raid their homes when you have all the men, collect more evidence of the crime, and I will be useful to this official."

After hearing this, the official himself was also a head, and it was fat to take someone to raid the house, so he couldn't think about it.

After a long time, everyone dragged their luggage to the back office, Qiu Tongmian saw that Xu Yingying's face was not happy, and he stepped forward with some confusion, "Why is this, who provoked my family Yingying." ”

Xu Yingying said with a straight face, "I've come all the way here, and I've just settled down and moved here, so unfortunate." ”

Qiu Tongmian was a little speechless when he saw that the luggage in her room was full of luggage.

When I left Beijing, I was empty-handed, I didn't think about going all the way south, buying all the way, and even when I was besieged by bandits, I was not willing to throw it away.

knew that she didn't have a maid by her side, no one to serve her, and she didn't care about her for a day, so she lost her temper.

smiled and moved to Xu Yingying's side and said, "It's me who is wrong, I see that there is a lack of self-contained subordinates around you, and I have suffered you along the way. ”

Xu Yingying actually didn't complain about no one taking care of him, so he didn't say anything on the road, he had to always guard against robbers jumping out, it was not easy to get to the ground, but he didn't see him to care about himself, and when he heard him say this, the complaint in his heart disappeared, and he looked at him with the corner of his clothes.

"I went through a lot of hardships with you to come to this poor place with mountains and rivers, and my mother is gone, so you can't bear me." After speaking, he hugged Qiu Tongmian and buried his head in his arms.
