Chapter 54: Clues

The head of the torture saluted to the adults in the hall, and then pointed at Xu Gang and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is Xu Gongzi, he once fought with thieves and saved two children. After speaking, he introduced Xu Gang to the county officials present.

Sitting on the top is Wang Hanmin, the magistrate of Meishan County, extremely elegant, dressed in Tsing Yi official clothes, is an official from the eighth grade, around thirty, he made a county seal at a young age, and he can be regarded as high-spirited, but at this moment the county master is a sad face. It wasn't until he saw Xu Gang that Wang Zhixian showed a hint of joy between his eyebrows, but it was not too obvious.

Huang Qing, the chief bookkeeper, and Liu Han, the county lieutenant, sat on the seat on the left hand side of Wang Zhixian, and Huang Zhushu sipped tea slowly, stroked his beard from time to time, and looked at Xu Gang with a smile. County Lieutenant Liu frowned, his face was sad, and he kept twisting his body in his seat, as if there was a thorn in the chair. On the other side sat the chieftain, the official and the miscellaneous officer.

"Hurry up and show Xu Gongzi!" Wang Zhixian had to be disciplined by Zhizhou every day during this time, and Zhizhou was angry with him again in the morning, and now he can put his hope on Xu Gang, of course, he must be courteous.

"Thank you for the seat!" Xu Gang took a deep soak, and then walked to a chair on the left side and took a seat, and only sat on half of his ass.

Wang Zhixian took all this in his eyes, nodded slightly and said: "Xu Gongzi, it is really helpless to summon you over today, although Xu Gongzi fought bravely against the thieves and rescued two children, but the children who were captured by the thieves are still twenty-nine and have not been recovered, so I hope Xu Gongzi understands." ”

After finishing speaking, he also stood up and gave Xu Gang a look, so shocked that Xu Gang quickly got up and returned the salute, and said flatteredly: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!" The thieves have arrested so many children, and the grass people are also very resentful in their hearts, please rest assured that the county adults must know everything and say everything, and fully assist the government to catch the thieves and rescue the children. ”

Hearing that Wang Zhixian said that so many children were still taken away, Xu Gang's disgust for the Demon Gate was even stronger, and he really hoped that the Demon Gate could be uprooted and rid of harm for the people.

"Okay, Xu Gongzi is high-spirited, this official will thank Xu Gongzi on behalf of the county government and the victims!" Wang Zhixian stood up violently and clenched his fists, Xu Gang saw it, and quickly got up and returned the salute.

"Xu Gongzi, what clues do you have now? Please tell me! Wang Xianling said politely.

"My lord, the lower official has something to say!" County Lieutenant Liu suddenly stood up and said, during which he also glanced at Huang Zhushu.

"Speak!"

"Yes, my lord, please hand over this matter to the lower official, as for the clues that Xu Gongzi has, the lower official will communicate with him in private!" Liu County Lieutenant then expressed his opinion.

"County Lieutenant Liu, what do you mean by this, can't we all listen to it?" Huang Zhushu took a sip of tea, looked at County Lieutenant Liu, and said lightly.

"Hmph, it's not that I can't trust anyone, I just think I should be cautious!" County Lieutenant Liu snorted coldly, it seems that the two do not deal with each other.

The voice of crusading against County Lieutenant Liu suddenly sounded in the hall, and the meaning was almost the same, that is, to blame County Lieutenant Liu for not believing them.

"Shut up! When is it, are you still in the mood to quarrel here! Wang Zhixian slapped the desk and got up, the majestic voice overwhelmed all the noise, and slowly walked to the front of the desk with his hand, squinted and swept over the people in the hall, and finally his eyes stayed on County Lieutenant Liu: "County Lieutenant Liu listens to orders!" ”

"The lower official is here!"

"This official now orders you to take full responsibility for the case of the disappearance of the child, and all the arrests in the Yazhong are at your disposal, so be sure to arrest the thief as soon as possible, rescue all the children, and return me to a peace in Meishan County!" Remember, you only have seven days! With that, he waved his coat lightly, slowly sat back in front of the desk, and said, "It's all gone", then leaned back in the chair, slowly closed his eyes, and no longer paid attention to the people in front of him. Everyone looked at each other, with various complicated expressions on their faces.

"Command!" Liu County Lieutenant clenched his fists and bowed his head slightly, very excited in his heart.

"Master Xu, please come with me!" County Lieutenant Liu came to Xu Gang's side and looked at him with a smile.

"Oh, oh~~~ Okay, Lord County Lieutenant." Xu Gang was still looking at the resolute and majestic county lord at this time, and was deeply impressed by his spirit, and only then did he reflect when he heard County Lieutenant Liu call him.

On both sides of the gate of the barracks hangs a couplet: on the right is "according to the law to sentence Zhao Tianli", and on the left is "according to the law to punish crimes and eliminate personal feelings." There were only three people in the room, Liu County Lieutenant sat on the main seat, the head of the torture arrest sat on the right side, and Xu Gang sat on the left side.

"Xu Gongzi, this case of the disappearance of children is extraordinary, according to our investigation, all the children were born on the same day, and that month was a lunar month, and that day was a lunar day. The thief can find these children so accurately, he must have obtained the household registration register of the county, if there is no mole in the government, the official will never believe it! Bang! The more County Lieutenant Liu spoke, the more angry he became, and after finishing speaking, he slapped the desk heavily.

"Ah~~" Xu Gang was very shocked when he heard the words of County Lieutenant Liu, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise and fell into deep thought: It seems that the disappearance of these children should be all done by the Demon Gate! The children of the cloudy moon and the cloudy day also gathered near the fierce ghost ditch

Thinking of this, Xu Gang's eyes suddenly lit up: Will those children be in the fierce ghost ditch?

"Xu Gongzi, did you think of something?" County Lieutenant Liu kept looking at Xu Gang, and seeing that his expression changed and changed, he thought that he must have thought of some important clues.

Xu Gang nodded when he heard this, and said slowly: "Lord County Lieutenant, I believe that the head of the criminal arrest has already told you about how I saved those two children!" ”

"He didn't say it too clearly! I don't know if Xu Gongzi knows the identities of those two thieves? County Lieutenant Liu nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"Those two people are from the Demon Gate and the Moon Gate!" Xu Gang nodded, when he talked to the head of the torture and arrest before, he did not mention the identity of the thief, so County Lieutenant Liu did not know.

Xu Gang paused and continued: "After I rescued the children from those two Demon Sect disciples that day, I kept thinking, why did they arrest those two children, and one of them was my neighbor's child, why did they take him so far away? I have a lot of doubts, and I can't figure it out! And just now, when I heard the county lord say that the county had lost nearly thirty children, I hadn't even thought that these children were all captured by the people of Youyuemen! ”

"You mean, you think these children were all captured by the Moonlight Gate now?" The head of the torture arrester suddenly interjected, and County Lieutenant Liu glared at him, he quickly shut up and waited for Xu Gang to say.

Xu Gang listened to the words of the head of the torturer, nodded to him, and said with a kind of confidence in his tone: "Not bad! When I heard the county lieutenant say that these children were all born on a cloudy day, plus some of my experiences a few days ago, I was very sure! ”
