After a while, the catchers escorted a limping middle-aged man out of the cave, who was dripping with blood on his calf, apparently bitten by a little black dog. Xiao Hei followed majestically with his head held high.

The follower Changfu recognized this person at a glance and said to Yang Qiuchi: "That's right, it is Wang Zhaoli Wang Dianshi!" ”

Success! No, it should be dog to success!

Yang Qiuchi walked up to this person and asked, "Wang Dianshi, do you know why we want to arrest you?" ”

Wang Dianshi didn't know Yang Qiuchi, but looking at the county magistrate's official uniform he was wearing, he guessed that it was the new magistrate, and his face was suddenly pale, trembling and speechless.

At this time, a few catchers also walked out with a large bag of things and put them at Yang Qiuchi's feet, Yang Qiuchi opened one casually, and it was full of gold, silver and jewelry.

Yang Qiuchi smiled: "Wang Dianshi, it seems that you have collected a lot of people's fat and ointment over the years!" Immediately, his face turned blank and he shouted: "What about your concubine Zhao Qinglan?" ”

Wang Dianshi hung his head and said: "She, she went down the mountain to buy things seven days ago, and she never came back. ”

Yang Qiuchi immediately understood that Zhao Qinglan might have fled without permission, leaving this Wang Dianshi alone in the mountains, so hungry that he had to venture down the mountain to buy things, but he didn't expect that as soon as he showed up, his deeds would be revealed.

Yang Qiuchi asked: "Did she escape, did she say anything before leaving?" ”

"Qinglan won't leave me and run away, she didn't take her clothes, gold, silver and jewelry with her."

Oh? Yang Qiuchi was slightly surprised, this is strange, if this Zhao Qinglan wants to escape, with her martial arts, this Wang Dianshi can't be stopped, even if she cares about the affection of her husband and wife and doesn't snatch Wang Dianshi's stolen money and goods, her own belongings and gold and silver jewelry should be taken away. Now it seems that something may have happened to her.

Yang Qiuchi asked: "Wang Dianshi, it was you who killed Yun Xuan's wife and brother-in-law, and then blamed Yun Xuan, right?" ”

Wang Dianshi knew that since this county official could lead the arrest to find him quickly, his golden cicada shelling was not successful, and the crime had been exposed. If you want to hide it, you can't hide it, it's better to be honest and honest and strive for a good attitude, see if there is a glimmer of life, and honestly confess:

"I did it, that morning I was drinking with Qinglan in the tavern, and when I saw Yun Xuan's lady and a man walking under the restaurant, I was moved, and I wanted to take revenge on Yun Xuan for breaking my leg, they didn't know my concubine Zhao Qinglan, so I asked her to go down and find a way to get close to them. led them to a secluded alley behind the yamen and knocked them unconscious. ”

Yang Qiuchi said: "Your concubine is a female streamer to deal with two people, does she have the ability?" ”

"My concubine used to go to the rivers and lakes to perform arts, and she knew a little martial arts."

"After knocking the two of them unconscious, how did you hide from the eyes of the guards of the yamen and the other people inside?" Yang Qiuchi asked.

"My official office is on the side of the high wall of the alley, and I used to secretly open a small door on the side of the alley near the yamen in order to facilitate private entry and exit, and a hut was built outside to cover it. The two of us carried them through the small door into the inner office. ”

According to the rules, the yamen can only have one gate, and it is not allowed to open other small doors, Yang Qiuchi joked: "It turns out that the back door starts with you!" You're fucking doing a lot of bad things through this little door! Okay, you go on. ”

Wang Dianshi wiped a cold sweat and continued: "We quietly hid the two of them in a hut, and then I strangled the man,...... After annihilating the stunned lady, he strangled her to death. ”

Yang Qiuchi slapped him and scolded: "You dog thief, you have killed other people's ladies and killed people, but you are really ruthless, this slap was slapped for Yun Tianqing!" Go on! ”

Wang Dianshi's teeth were loosened by this slap, he covered his mouth, screamed, and continued: "We were going to find time to quietly transport it out of the city to be buried, but at noon that day, Zhenyuan Prefecture official Mu Longyou came to me in the county seat and told me that the Inspectorate was investigating my tax collection and favoritism, corruption and perversion of the law over the years. ”

"I was very scared, after sending him away, on the way back, I saw Yun Xuan with a waist knife, and secretly heard him asking if anyone saw his mother and brother-in-law, so I came up with this way to get rid of the golden cicada, I ran back to the yamen, and asked my concubine Zhao Qinglan to trick him into the alley and transport him to the inner ya, hiding in the study."

"That night, I deliberately let my concubine and I work in the study, and let my attendant Qian Gui go back to sleep first, and then the two of us took off our clothes and put on the bodies of Yun's stunned lady and brother-in-law, stabbed them a few times, and painted their faces with blood, so that Yun was stunned and couldn't recognize them. Then I shaved my head, put on a stunned Miao suit, pretended to be stunned, covered my face, and asked my concubine to go to the bedroom and set fire. ”

Yang Qiuchi interjected and asked, "Run to the bedroom and set fire?" What are you doing with that effort? Why don't you put it in the study? As soon as he asked, he immediately understood, "Oh, you want to keep the fire farther away, so that there is a buffer time to fake the scene." It's cunning, go on! ”

Wang Dianshi was very surprised by Yang Qiuchi's quick reaction, looked at Yang Qiuchi with his mouth wide open, and listened to him continue to say it himself, so he continued: "After the fire was ignited, my concubine saw Qian Gui running to call us from the window, and after gesturing to me, I pretended to be murderous and stabbed the corpse with a stunned waist knife. Money is expensive and scared away. ”

"Then I stuffed the waist knife in Yun Su's hand, poured water on his face, and immediately hid, when Yun Su woke up, the room was already full of smoke, he ran out without recognizing the corpse, and then I and the concubine sneaked through the small door and absconded here."

The truth was revealed, but it was a pity that the accomplice Zhao Qinglan was not caught.

Yang Qiuchi instructed the hunters to enter the cave and search carefully to see if there were any other exits and hiding places. After a while, a few catchers came out of the cave with torches, and reported that the cave was not too deep and that there was no other exit.

Yang Qiuchi ordered Wang Dianshi to be tied up, and walked down the mountain in the direction he pointed out that Zhao Qinglan was going down the mountain, preparing to search along the way to see if there was any trace of Zhao Qinglan.

There are no roads here, all of them are made in the thorn bushes and go down the mountain. The travel speed is relatively slow. After walking for more than an hour, Xiao Hei, who was following Yang Qiuchi, suddenly stopped and shouted. Yang Qiuchi knew that Xiao Hei wouldn't scream for no reason, there must be something wrong.

Waving his hand to stop the team, Yang Qiuchi squatted down, touched the little black head, and said, "Search it!" ”

Xiao Hei and Yang Qiuchi have been together for so long, they have been able to accurately comprehend his orders, lowered their heads, sniffed in the east of the grass, sniffed in the west, Yang Qiuchi and the others followed behind it, and slowly searched down the mountain.

After a cup of tea, Xiao Hei stood and shouted at Yang Qiuchi, reporting that there was a discovery.

Yang Qiuchi also stood and looked forward, it was already evening, the sky in the jungle was already relatively dark, and the surrounding scenery was even more hazy at this moment, as if the ghosts in the jungle had begun to slowly rise from the grass, wandering among the trees, the mountain breeze was blowing, and the whining sound seemed to be their cruel laughter.

Song Yun'er was a little nervous, and involuntarily grabbed Yang Qiuchi's arm, and her voice trembled a little: "Brother, it's scary here......"

Is there any mistake? Yang Qiuchi thought to himself, you have martial arts, and your master is also by your side, if you don't seek protection from your master, what's the use of holding me a weak scholar?

Along the way, Song Yuner was very affectionate with herself, intentionally or unintentionally making a weak appearance of a little girl and longing for her care, could it be that she subconsciously did it to her master Liu Ruobing?

You must know that women are very sensitive to emotions, even if Song Yuner is a big tomboy. Yang Qiuchi thought to herself, could it be that she had noticed that Liu Ruobing's relationship with herself was unusual, and deliberately used this way to declare her early occupation of herself?

No, Yang Qiuchi doesn't believe that Song Yun'er has such a scheming, with her surname, if she finds that something is wrong, she will definitely make it clear to herself in front of the gong and drum, she won't use this way, it's almost the same as Song Qing, who likes to play a little smart.

Although Song Yun'er has martial arts, she is actually timid by nature, so her current fear is not pretentious. Thinking about this, Yang Qiuchi patted her little hand very manly and comforted: "Yun'er, don't be afraid, there is a brother here." ”

Song Yun'er nodded, grabbed Yang Qiuchi's arm and approached him tighter, her eyes looking around vigilantly.

Yang Qiuchi carefully looked into the jungle in front of him, which had begun to dim, and found nothing, the waist-high thatch in front of him was overgrown with thorns and dense trees. He looked at Liu Ruobing a little nervously, and asked with his eyes if there was an enemy in front of him.

Liu Ruobing didn't seem to notice Yang Qiuchi and Song Yun'er's intimate actions just now, listened carefully, and shook her head gently.

Yang Qiuchi was a little strange, squatted down and touched Xiao Hei's little head: "Hey! What are you doing, what are you calling nonsense without anything? ”

The little black dog whimpered twice, and looked at Yang Qiuchi with small eyes, looking aggrieved.

Yang Qiuchi was wondering, and at this moment, Liu Ruobing suddenly shouted, "Lord Yang! ”

Yang Qiuchi stood up and looked at Liu Ruobing.

Liu Ruobing raised his hand and pointed to an ancient tree dozens of steps ahead: "There is something on that branch!" ”

Yang Qiuchi put his hand on the pergola and looked in the direction of Liu Ruobing's finger. The jungle was dim, and I could only see the shadows of the trees swaying, but I didn't find anything special, and said to myself, "It's nothing! ”

Song Yun'er had already seen the thing clearly, exclaimed, and the small hand that grabbed Yang Qiuchi's arm tightened suddenly, leaned close to him, and said in a trembling voice: "There is a hanging ...... on the tree One...... Brainless people! ”
