Through the cliché of listening, Leng Yi learned that the county magistrate he pretended to have a very poor family and no money to go to the relationship, and after the title of the gold list, he was assigned to this poor and remote exile as an official. It has only been three or four months since he took office with his wife to come to Yinling County. This made Leng Yi even more relieved, he had only been in office for three or four months, which showed that he still didn't know a lot of things, so it would be more convenient for him to pretend to be himself. I also learned that the wife of the county was surnamed Zhuo, but I didn't ask what her name was, and I guess the master didn't know. This master's surname is Dong, he was recommended to him by the previous magistrate, and he was kept as the master, Qian Gu and the criminal name are in charge, and he is also very familiar with the local situation. They have been coming to Fucheng Bazhou for three days, and they came in the carriage of the county government, and there is a groom in addition to the two of them. The name of the shopkeeper of this inn is Jia.

In addition, through chatting, he also heard some basic information about Bazhou and Yinling County, the main figures in the county government of Yinling County, the main squires, celebrities and big households in the county, the county's financial revenue, and even some basic rules of officialdom.

All the way to the third watch, Master Dong and Shopkeeper Jia were drunk, lying on the table and snoring, so Leng Yi asked the shop guy to help them out.

The horse-faced Xiao Er also changed his smiling face and brought hot water to wash Leng Yi. I made another cup of hot tea for them to decant their wines.

Leng Yi stretched a long lazy waist with satisfaction, put on an official shelf, and said to the horse-faced little two: "Take a lantern and illuminate the county, this county is going to the thatched house to pay tribute." ”

"Yes, yes!" The horse-faced Xiaoer hurriedly took a lantern, carried it, illuminated it in front of the side, and accompanied Leng Yi out of the stairs and walked to the backyard.

As soon as he walked to the back door, a middle-aged man came to him, bowing his head, and walked towards Leng Yi. Leng Yi hurriedly got out of the way and said to him, "Uncle, it's dark here, be careful." ”

The middle-aged man stopped, slowly raised his head, glanced at him, lowered his head again, and walked past him.

The middle-aged man walked all the way to a corner of the hall and sat down at a square table. On the table was a plate of cooked beef, a plate of beans, a wine cup, a wine glass, and a pair of chopsticks.

The middle-aged man picked up the chopsticks, took a bean and put it in his mouth, crunched and chewed, his eyes looked at the wine glass on the table, but the corner of his eye was aimed at the direction of the backyard.

The nightlife of the Song Dynasty was already very rich, with night markets that lasted all night. This inn is relatively large in Bazhou, and the lobby downstairs also operates a night market, so although it has been three watches, there are still a lot of people in the lobby. Half of the seats were still full. It's just that a lot of people are a little drunk and talking loudly.

After a while, the horse-faced Xiaoer accompanied Leng Yi back from the backyard. Leng Yi stomped his feet and said, "Oh, although this rain is not heavy, it has been raining all day, and the ground is full of mud, you should also tidy up this yard and look at the mud in this county!" ”

The horse-faced Xiaoer smiled and said: "Yes, the eldest master is right, and he will tell the shopkeeper to catch up with Ming'er, so tidy." ”

Leng Yi snorted in his nostrils, learned from the official master in the film and television, shook the sleeves of his robe, paced square steps one by one, and walked to the staircase, only then did he carry the hem of his robe and go upstairs steadily.

There was a confusion in the eyes of the middle-aged man in the lobby, which was the confusion of a question that he couldn't figure out. He slowly raised his head, looked at Leng Yi's back, and went to the upper room in the back, then lowered his eyes, picked up the wine glass, and poured himself a drink, until the pot of wine was drunk and called the checkout.

After checking out, the middle-aged man slowly went upstairs, he used to live here.

Up to the second floor, the middle-aged man walked along the long corridor and kept going inside, passing through the upper rooms, without stopping, until he walked to Leng Yi's door, stopped, glanced back from the corner of his eye, and there was no one behind him. As soon as he turned around, he reached the door, raised his hand and knocked lightly.

Footsteps were heard inside, and the door opened.

Leng Yi stood at the door, looking at the middle-aged man, with a look of fear: "It's you?!" ”

The middle-aged man stepped in, closed the door casually, looked at Leng Yi, and the corners of his mouth showed a look of surprise and happiness, and said, "You pretended to be dead before?" ”

Leng Yi looked at him and didn't speak.

The middle-aged man walked to the round table and sat down with his hands behind his back. Ignoring Leng Yi, like a cheetah, walking past a poor lamb destined to have nowhere to escape.

The middle-aged man looked at Leng Yi and said slowly: "It seems that you are also a smart person, since you have pretended to be dead and concealed from me, you should flee quickly." Why are you still here? - Oh, you think you've hidden it from me, you think I believe you're really dead, so you won't come back if you leave here, and it's safe for you to stay here, right? I didn't think I was leaving. I wanted to live in this cold winter, just stay in this inn for one night and then leave tomorrow, it seems that I stayed right, this is not as good as the sky. Hey hey"

Leng Yi looked at him, but still didn't speak.

The middle-aged man said: "Okay, since you didn't die, that's great, let's continue." Presumably you've tasted enough of my methods, it's really better to die than to die, right? You're tough and won't say anything, but I'm sure you'll change your mind, right? ”

"What do you want me to say?" Leng Yi finally spoke, his voice trembling a little.

The middle-aged man frowned and said, "Why bother? Haven't you had enough of my methods of coercing confessions? Let me tell you, this is just the beginning, and there are many more that have not yet been used! With that, he stood up, walked in front of Leng Yi, and raised a finger to aim at Leng Yi's acupoint, "You were under my finger last time, pretending to be dead, let's pick up the previous one." I asked one last time, - where is the thing? ”

Leng Yi was even more frightened, took a step back, leaned his back against the door, and had no way to retreat.

The middle-aged man looked at Leng Yi, and when he saw that he still didn't mean to speak, he sighed: "You are still very tough, don't say anything, admire!" Then I can only continue to torture! A whoosh finger poked at Leng Yi's acupoint.

The middle-aged man suddenly let out a low and short scream from his mouth, because his finger was almost broken as if it had poked on a stone slab!

Almost at the same time, his stomach had already received a heavy punch from Leng Yi.

The middle-aged man couldn't have imagined that the county magistrate, who had been tortured by him like a dead dog before, could throw such a heavy punch, and it was so fast, he didn't even have time to resist it with luck, he was hit in the stomach, and he immediately collapsed on the ground in pain, curled up, and began to vomit. I spit out the cooked beef and fried beans that I had just eaten and didn't have time to digest.

Leng Yi's favorite sport, besides kickboxing, is rock climbing, which he took in with great interest when it was just emerging in China, and became one of the best in it. This not only trained his agility, but also gave him amazing strength in one of his hands. It can easily crush hard walnuts and break through thick wooden boards. So this punch hit the middle-aged man to convulsions and vomit on the spot.

And the strength of the middle-aged man's finger is also very amazing, but it can't hurt him, because he is wearing a special steel plate bulletproof vest in his official robe. At the time of the crossing, he was on a mission to rescue hostages, and because the other party was in possession of firearms, the detectives on the rescue mission were also wearing bulletproof vests.

As he went downstairs to the hut, he met the middle-aged man, who was the first to rush into the house as he was crying, and looked at him with astonished and unbelievable eyes. Later, he knew that this person was not his person, so how could he show such a gaze? So he paid attention, and after the other party came in, he pretended to be scared, paralyzed him, and then used a bulletproof vest to resist and successfully subdued him.

He sneered, grabbed the middle-aged man's hands and feet, clicked a few times, and twisted and dislocated the joints of his hands and feet.

Leng Yi squatted down and began to search his body. A few pieces of loose silver were found, as well as a short knife. There's nothing to be used for identification.

He put the blade of the short knife on the middle-aged man's neck and said, "Who are you?" What are you looking for here? ”

The man said: "Your Excellency turned out to be a hidden person, but I have lost my eyes, and since it is in your hands, there is nothing to say." But don't expect to pry words out of my mouth. ”

Say, the whole body convulsed a few times, and then he didn't move.

Leng Yi was startled and pinched his mouth open, only to see the pitch-black liquid inside filling his mouth. There is a pungent smell. The pulse pupil is checked again to confirm that he is dead. It seems that this person had a highly poisonous pill in his mouth, and he killed himself by biting it at the critical moment.
