Zhang Zhutou and Jiang Sanshan, the guard of the county Cheng, searched for the remnants of the Japanese in the whole town, who this remnant was, what it looked like, I don't know, the two of them are a bit like headless flies everywhere, anyway, no matter who they meet, they go up to check and see who looks like a bad person, but in the end they find that no one is it.

The two of them scurried around the street in vain, at the beginning, Zhang Zhutou also felt that the county Cheng asked him to withdraw from the front line to take care of him, and after a long time, he was a little bit out of taste, not only because the shadow of this remnant could not be seen, but also that the guy named Jiang Sanshan had been following him around, his eyes were very abnormal, and he looked vigilant and vigilant, Zhang Zhutou was a hot temper, and he couldn't hide things in his stomach, so he approached Jiang Sanshan and asked suspiciously: "I said Brother Sanshan, Lord County Cheng asked us to search for the remnants of the Japanese Emperors, Where is the remnant of iniquity? What are the characteristics? Or what are the clues? ”

Jiang Sanshan made a face and said in a deep voice: "No, since the county asked us to do it, we will do it." ”

"Then you ......" Zhang Zhutou wanted to get angry, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed back.

At this time, a man Zhuang beckoned to Zhang Zhutou at the corner of the wall in front of him, Zhang Zhutou walked forward suspiciously, the man leaned down and said a few words in Zhang Zhutou's ear, Zhang Zhutou's face suddenly changed, grabbed the man's collar, and shouted: "Is this true? ”

"It's true, the villain saw it with his own eyes, and it is estimated that the people sent by the county will arrive soon." The man replied.

"This old horseman, I'm going to slaughter him." Zhang Zhutou shouted angrily, his nose closed one by one, looking extremely angry.

"Why is Zhang Zhutou angry?" Jiang Sanshanpi approached Zhang Zhutou with a smile, and his hand moved to the handle of the waist knife intentionally or unintentionally.

"Someone made a rumor that the old man was a traitor to the Japanese Kou, which really annoyed me, if I knew who made the rumor, he would definitely be cut to pieces." Zhang Zhutou said hatefully.

At this moment, a Minzhuang came running from a distance, saw Jiang Guard and Zhang Zhutou, paused, first nodded at Jiang Guard, and then said to Zhang Zhutou: "Zhang Zhutou, the county Cheng let you go." ”

"I was about to go to the county." Zhang catches his head and a stalk of his neck.

"Please also ask Zhang Zhutou to untie the waist knife first." Minzhuang, who gave the order, said with a grin.

"Why is that?" Zhang Zhutou was puzzled.

"I don't know what the county Cheng ordered, otherwise, you will ask the county lord in person?" Min Zhuang still replied with a smile.

Zhang Zhutou hesitated slightly, but saw Jiang Guards and some other Minzhuang staring at him with a wary face, all hands on the weapon, waist and back arched, as if as long as they moved, they would immediately surround and attack him, although the doubts in his heart were not reduced, but he knew that this was not the time to be angry, so he quickly untied his waist knife, threw it at the Minzhuang who gave the order, and then walked towards the post house.

There are a lot of people in the post house, and the county is sitting in the hall of the post house, there is a big table in front of him, and Master Tian is standing on the side, and there are some people standing on both sides.

Among the people, there are two people who are particularly conspicuous, they are wearing underwear and small coats, they are being supported, and their heads are wrapped in green cloth, it seems that others have torn them from the hem of their clothes, and some blood stains oozed from the green cloth, emitting a black color.

As soon as Zhang Zhutou entered the hall and saw this frame, he felt bad in his heart, and hurriedly looked back, but saw that Jiang Guards were blocking behind with everyone, so he had to step forward and salute the county Cheng and said, "I don't know why the adults called the villains to come?" ”

Wang Xiancheng's face sank, and he shouted: "Left and right, let me take down this traitor of the bandits." ”

Bandits? Zhang Zhu's mind was dizzy for a while, and he was waiting to defend himself, only to feel that someone had kicked him in the crook of his leg, and he couldn't help but weaken his knees, plopped, and fell to the ground, his knees were kneeling on the floor tiles in the hall, and he couldn't help but snort, and rushed up to three or four people left and right, holding the ropes that had been prepared, and quickly tied him up.

Zhang Zhutou shouted at the county through these people: "My lord, why do you arrest me, the villain is wronged, the villain is wronged." ”

With a crisp sound, the county slammed the table: "Zhang Guilin, it's like this, you still haven't recruited from the truth, do you want me to be punished?" ”

Zhang Zhutou was startled, then raised his head and said, "My lord, I don't know what crime I committed, why I was arrested, how can I confess?" ”

"Hmph, you don't cry when you don't see the coffin, and you still have a hard mouth, and quickly bring the truth about how you colluded with the Japanese Kou, if you continue to resist, you can blame the official for ignoring the past feelings." Wang Xiancheng said gloomily.

"My lord, I am wronged, the villain has no bandits, the villain is loyal to the country, dedicated to the public, there is no fornication, the adult must not only listen to the villain's slander, please be aware of it." Zhang Zhutou shouted anxiously.

"Since you need evidence, then the official will let you see the evidence, come here, and let the two injured Minzhuang tell their experience of being injured again." Wang Xiancheng stroked his beard and pointed down confidently.

The two injured people slowly walked out of the people, they saluted the county man, and then one of them opened his mouth and said: "Lord Qiqi, yesterday evening, we were ordered to search for the Japanese in the town, about the beginning of the ugly time, we were searching in front of a house, there was an alley next to the house, at that time the two of us were in charge of searching the house, just about to knock on the door, suddenly we both had a pain in the head, I felt a heavy blow from the back of the head, and fainted to the ground, I woke up quickly, when I woke up, When I saw two men standing seven or eight paces in front of me, I found that I had been stripped of my clothes and were holding them in their hands. I didn't dare to move, pretending to be unconscious, and I heard the two men seem to be saying, hurry up and send this dress to someone, so that they can get out of town, I don't understand, but I lay on the ground, and saw that one of the two people looked very much like a catcher. ”

"You are lying, why are you hurting me?" Zhang Zhu's head and forehead were bruised, and he shouted loudly, wanting to stand up, but he was slapped on his back and hit his head on the ground, and blood flowed from the corners of his forehead.

"You say, what do you see, or hear?" Wang Xiancheng pointed to another injured Minzhuang and said.

"My lord, I went with him to search for the widows, and I wanted to knock on the door in front of the house, and suddenly I heard a sentence, I moved, and I wanted to look back, but I felt that it was dark in front of me, and I didn't know anything, I didn't see who moved the hand, but the sound was very similar to that of Zhang Zhang's head." Min Zhuang glanced at Zhang Zhutou with some fear and shrunk his neck.

"Dog thief, if you harm me, you won't die well, and I won't let you go if I am a ghost." Zhang Zhu's head was pressed to the ground, his face was full of dust, and his forehead was bleeding, looking very embarrassed, but he stared at the man Zhuang with blood-red eyes, and his voice was a little hoarse.

"You two witnesses, go down first to heal your wounds. Zhang Guilin, what else do you have to say now? Wang Xiancheng looked down at Zhang Zhutou.

"Adult, the villain is really wronged, the villain didn't do that kind of thing, the villain has been hunting for thieves all night and has never left." Zhang Zhutou said mournfully.

"Never left? Let me ask you, why did you leave your own area without permission and go to someone else's area to arrest the criminals? Why were you the first to arrive when Liu was arrested? Have you been keeping an eye on the whereabouts of these two widows? Why did you arrive at the right time when the Wako were trapped in the Land Temple, and they escaped? Can you explain why for us? Wang Xiancheng sneered.

"When I left the search area, someone told me that there were suspicious people in the Sanjiang Dart Bureau, and I was afraid that it would be too late, and the suspicious people ran away, and I told the master." Zhang Zhutou argued.

"I need proof, what about the person who told you? Now, find out for me and prove your innocence. Wang Xiancheng said coldly.

"I, I...... Adult, villain is really wronged, wronged. Zhang Zhutou was in a hurry to grab the ground, and his hair was scattered, like a ghost.

"The facts and evidence are all there, and you are still so quibbling, you have to use a big punishment to tell the truth?" Wang Xiancheng slapped the table. At this time, Master Tian, who was standing on his side, took a step sideways, leaned over and said a few words in the ear of the county officer, the county man nodded, and then said to the court: "Zhang Guilin fornicated with the Japanese criminals, the facts are clear, the evidence is conclusive, when he is brought back to the county government for trial, other people, etc., perform their duties, and continue to search for the Japanese criminals." Wang Zhutou, you continue to lead your subordinates to maintain law and order in the town, and do not let the gangsters take the opportunity to cause chaos because of the arrival of the widows. ”

"Yes." The crowd answered.

Wang Yu quickly crossed his hands and took the order away, but everyone didn't pay attention, and a trace of smugness flashed on his face.
