Chapter 17: Liu Dutou's thoughts

This Zhang Xiaocai is really a hob meat! If the former magistrate of the county, if he wanted it, he would have a direct certificate without a certificate, and he would be involved in an iron case of assassinating an official of the imperial court. If you want it, you will be tortured and directly extorted a confession.

If it was really Feng Manlou who turned this case into a case of assassinating an official of the imperial court, Liu Dutou would also look down on Feng Manlou in his heart. Although Feng Manlou's performance during the day is amazing, that doesn't tell the whole story. The current Yuhang County is no longer a county that covers the sky with one hand. It's those people led by Wei Xiancheng who have the power, and if Feng Manlou wants to fight with them, he has to have real skills.

Liu Dutou's real name is Liu Jinbao, and he is a native of Yuhang. The position of this capital head was inherited from his father before his death during the period of King Wu Yue in the previous dynasty. Of course, Liu Jinbao himself has some ability, otherwise he would not have successfully sat in the position of the capital.

However, Liu Jinbao is in Yuhang, does not hold a group, does not merge, and has a sense of justice, so he was excluded by Shangguan. Moreover, Yuhang is an upper county, and there are two county lieutenants alone. Hu Weishan County Lieutenant manages the village and maintains the stability of the village. Xiao Zhang managed the county seat and the surrounding areas. The two Shangguan have firmly controlled all their strength in their hands, and Liu Jinbao is naturally excluded, and with his surname, what is the benefit, it will naturally not fall on him.

However, Liu Jinbao is not stupid, although he is dissatisfied with Xiao Zhang and the others in his heart, he does not show it, and now he is waiting, waiting for the county magistrate to cut off this group of people, or let them change their ways. Therefore, Liu Jinbao pays special attention to Feng Manlou.

Feng Manlou also knows this kind of hob meat, and he doesn't give up if he doesn't see the Yellow River. asked directly: "Now give you one last chance, is it Lord Xiao Zhangxiao who instructed you?" ”

Zhang Xiaocai was shocked, could it be that the county master already knew that it was Xiao Zhang's instructions, but there was no evidence? If he really confessed, although he was not the main culprit, he would not be able to escape death.

was hesitating, but heard Feng Manlou say: "If you tell the truth, this county will definitely give you a light sentence, and you will be punished for picking quarrels and provoking trouble, but you will be sentenced to half a year in prison." If you harbor and harbor the mastermind, the county will definitely be sentenced heavily, and the assassination of the court officials will be tantamount to rebellion. ”

Zhang Xiaocai was frightened by this, and he couldn't stop thinking in his heart, it seems that this county magistrate doesn't really want to embarrass himself. was hesitating, and suddenly thought of Xiao Zhang's character, this official word has two mouths, you give him the reason, he will give you the law, you give him the law, and he will give you privileges. This is obviously a fraud of himself, if he really confesses, he doesn't know how to die.

Zhang Xiaocai calmed down, lowered his hands to the ground, made the chains in his hands not so heavy, and said, "My lord, there is really no one to instruct him." Please open up the net! ”

Feng Manlou saw that it was useless to coerce and intimidate, and suddenly lost interest, and Sun Hu next to him said: "My lord, I think this kind of scum, just slaughter it with a knife, what's the use of keeping it, it's a capital crime anyway." He slaughtered him, saying that he committed suicide in fear of sin, at least he was exempted from the great sin of the Nine Clans, and it can be regarded as an adult who has accumulated great merit for him! ”

Liu Dutou came to his senses now, no matter what, he showed his attitude before speaking, he solemnly lifted his hat, sorted out the saber on his body, straightened out the corners of his clothes, and said: "My lord, to deal with such miscellaneous things, don't work for adults." Leave it to the villain, in this prison, there are not a few people who die every year for no reason! ”

Now Feng Manlou has a black eye in the yamen, and he still doesn't understand the situation, and now someone has taken the initiative to extend an olive branch, so naturally there is no reason not to take it, he smiled at Liu Jinbao and said: "Since this is the case, let it be handled by Liu Dutou!" We're doing a good deed! ”

Liu Jinbao immediately said: "Follow the master's orders." Guaranteed that this splash will not see the sun tomorrow! ”

Feng Manlou's face changed, and he said, "Liu Dutou, you are not allowed to abuse prisoners." However, if the prisoner commits suicide in fear of sin, then he will not blame you! ”

Liu Jinbao was taken aback by the wind manlou, it seems that this county magistrate does not leak anything. Hurriedly asked the official to escort Zhang Xiaocai back to the cell.

Wang Ying asked, "My lord, do you really want to kill that thief?" ”

Feng Manlou said with a smile: "Now that he is the meat on our chopping board, there are ten thousand ways to kill him." The point is how he died! ”

Wang Ying said puzzledly: "What do you mean?" ”

Feng Manlou smiled: "It's very simple. If you think about it, if you think about the scene at that time, you were already fighting, and you felt strange at that time, how could it be specifically targeted at us for no reason, don't you feel strange here? ”

Wang Ying felt a little hairy in his heart, and said, "My lord, are you saying that he was instructed by someone to deal with us?" ”

"Yes, not only did those people use knives and guns, but they also killed all of them, and I think they want our lives! And we have only been in Yuhang for a day, and there are not many people who know us, and we have no enmity with anyone! Tell me, who wants our lives so much? Feng Manlou asked.

Wang Ying thought for a while and said, "I really don't know!" ”

Feng Manlou smiled: "I don't know, it's right!" It is because we don't know that something happened that we can be said to have died in the line of duty! If it is known, the imperial court will definitely come to investigate, and the person who instructed it will be listed as the most important suspect, and it is possible to encounter some officials who are not strong in handling affairs, or even directly framed them. So, it's safest to start now! ”

Sun Hu said with a nonchalant face: "Don't worry, adults, with our brothers, we will definitely protect your adults!" ”

Wang Ying is not like Sun Hu, he doesn't do things through his brain at all, but likes to think, and asked: "My lord, then our current task is to find the mastermind behind it!" ”

"That's why this Zhang Xiaocai can't die!" Feng Manlou said with a smile.

Sun Hu asked with a puzzled face: "Since the adults don't let him die, why do you let Liu Dutou kill him?" ”

Feng Manlou smiled and said nothing, this time, it can be regarded as a test of Liu Jinbao, although Liu Jinbao showed himself a little sincerity, but it is not trustworthy, in case it is the master and accomplice, it will be uncomfortable, and no one wants to leave a time bomb around him at any time!

"Wang Ying, you have always been more careful in doing things, and tonight I will secretly pay attention, don't let that Liu Jinbao kill the prisoner! Also, it's best not to be discovered by Liu Jinbao, unless they really poison the prisoner! Feng Manlou said.

Wang Ying hurriedly said: "Don't worry, sir, hand it over to your subordinates and promise to complete the task!" ”

At this time, the porter of the yamen came in and said: "Outside the door, Wang Kan and the prince ask to see him!" ”

Feng Manlou said with a smile: "This Wang Kan should be the Wang Kan during the day, at that time, I just thought he was talking casually, but I didn't expect it to come." ”

Hurriedly asked Wang Kan to come in. Wang Kan entered the door and saw Feng Manlou sitting down on the main seat, and the two big black men next to him were standing aside, wearing fast clothes, and hurriedly bowed, and the disciple saluted: "Student Wang Kan, meet the teacher!" ”

Feng Manlou hurriedly helped him up and said, "No need to be so polite, it's just a joke during the day!" "When I said that sentence during the day, I just said it casually, or the old problem brought by my previous life, I like to make fun of people, but I didn't expect it to be like this sometimes. This can be regarded as the expression of the original surname!

How do you know that Wang Kan said very seriously: "The disciple is not joking. And now there are still stories of adults on the streets. Chopsticks measure the tree, fill in the words with a glass of wine, and win the favor of beauties! And the clever parent-child and blood test in the classroom are all experienced by the students themselves. Students know that there must be a lot of truth in this, but they always can't figure it out, and after going back, they can't find the reason after they go through the subset of scriptures and history, the four books and the five classics. Therefore, I am very convinced, and I am here today, just like learning the truth from the teacher. I think the teacher should be as magical as Zhuge Wuhou! ”

Feng Manlou made a joke of himself, and now that people came to the door, there was naturally no reason not to admit it, and said: "In this case, it is not impossible to accept you as an apprentice, but we must have three chapters of the law!" ”
