"The lord has arrived, be quiet! Quiet! ”

The front of the yamen was noisy, and suddenly there was a shout on the steps, and then the two "flower" word official lamps opened the way in front of the head, and the county magistrate wore a crown of flowers and winds, and walked out of the yamen majestically under the support of four strong catchers.

"The county magistrate is out!"

The front of the county government suddenly fell silent, and many people had never seen the dignity of the county magistrate, and they were all looking curiously at this time. Hua Qingfeng stood still on the steps, and said majestically: "You wait for Diao Min, what a lot of courage!" Three watches in the middle of the night, gathering in front of the ya, what do you want! ”

The stairs were quiet for a moment, and there was a slight commotion in the camp of the Li clan, and then a person stepped forward to answer, this person thought that he had seen some of the world, and he spoke generously and decently, so he was very prestigious among the clansmen, but he was only middle-aged.

He walked close to Hua Qingfeng and knelt down, and said in a loud voice: "Li Mubai, a grass man, has seen the eldest master." Li Yanting, the cousin of the grass people, was drinking in the 'Toad Palace' today, and was suddenly arrested by the county Yasu with a group of splashers. Na Su Zhutou did not have the county lord's detaining ticket, and he was not a public person in the yamen, but he abused his power to arrest my people, I will come to the county government tonight, that is, I ask the lord to uphold justice for our Li family. ”

"Oh?"

Hua Qingfeng glanced at him, and saw that the Li family was still afraid of official authority, and the original nervous mood was slightly calmer, and he stroked his beard and said: "Who saw Su Zhutou arresting Li Yanting, what was the situation at that time?" ”

Hua Qingfeng thought that if that person was not there, he could send someone to find him, so that he could delay enough time, but he didn't want that person to be from the Li clan, and he was also gambling there at that time, so as soon as Li Yanting had an accident, he would immediately rush back to report the news.

At this time, as soon as he heard the county lord ask, the man hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, kowtowed, and said, "Li Yanju, the grass people, have seen the big master!" He told Hua Qingfeng what he had seen from beginning to end.

The Li family had already discussed it on the way here. Don't mention gambling, Li Yanting's participation in gambling is just a trivial matter, but the public supports the gambling house, it is a big matter of using power for personal gain, I believe that they are sent out with this favor, and the county magistrate will have to buy their account. If this county magistrate doesn't know each other, then bite Su Xuntian out and see who is more ugly when he sees it.

Hua Qingfeng listened very carefully, and took the trouble to ask and verify some details, which made Li Mubai and Li Yanju bitter, and their legs were numb when they knelt. It was not easy to ask. Hua Qingfeng said lightly: "This matter is clear to the county, but it is not the same as what you said." ”

Li Mubai plucked up his courage and said: "In this way, please ask the eldest master to show me, I don't know what crime Li Yanting has committed." ”

"Ahem!"

Hua Qingfeng cleared his throat, and suddenly raised his voice and said: "Disperse a group of idle people, wait in front of the Li clan, and take the two of them to talk in the ya!" ”

Hua Qingfeng turned around and left after speaking, and the people who came out to see the lively good things in the middle of the night were naturally dissatisfied with the result. The people of the Li clan didn't know what Hua Qingfeng wanted, and they were also clamoring, and those officials shouted loudly: "Quiet! Quiet! The eldest master just called the two of them inside to talk, and then dared to make noise. Stick to disperse! ”

Having said that, they didn't dare to really stick to each other, Li Mubai was well-informed and bold. He picked up Li Yanju and followed Hua Qingfeng into the yamen.

Hua Qingfeng didn't take them to the lobby, but only found a signing room at random in the front office. After entering, he sat down and said in a deep voice: "This matter is a secret, and now I tell you two to know, you two must keep your mouth shut, if you leak it, you will be severely punished!" ”

Li Mubai and Li Yanting looked at each other, and seeing the county master's solemn expression, they couldn't help but feel worried: "Could it be that Li Yanting really committed any case?" ”

Hua Qingfeng said: "Some time ago, this county sent personnel to sweep up the 'one-stop' bandits, and at that time I got the news that someone in my county had fornicated with the bandits and secretly passed the news for them. Although the 'one-stop' gang of thieves has been exterminated, their eyeliner has never been caught, and it is because the county had secretly instructed Su to secretly investigate.

In the past few days, Su Zhutou has checked some people one after another, but he has ruled out their suspicions one by one. Today, Su Zhutou reported to the county, saying that he had obtained new clues, and that there was a person named Li Yanting who was seriously suspected, and he would find an opportunity to investigate this person. ”

When Hua Qingfeng said this, Li Mubai and Li Yanju's faces had changed greatly, this is the crime of gangsters, for Li Yanting, this is a big crime of killing the head, if this crime is confirmed, the entire Li family will be implicated.

Li Mubai couldn't be calm anymore, and said uneasily: "Master, Li Yanting has always been in peace, ...... guard"

Hua Qingfeng saw that the Li clan was panicked, but he calmed down and said in a deep voice: "This county hasn't finished talking yet!" ”

Li Mubai immediately closed his mouth, and Hua Qingfeng said: "This county said that Li Yanting was only suspicious, and he was not convicted. He is suspected of being a bandit, and of course he must be investigated. However, if the arrest is made publicly, once the news is leaked, if there are other people who are collaborators, they will inevitably be shocked. That's why Su Zhutou acted secretly, and in order to hide people's eyes and ears, he brought some splashes, but did not use public people. ”

The two Li clansmen held their breath and listened to Hua Qingfeng finish speaking, and then Li Mubai said cautiously: "Master, Li Yanting's family has surplus wealth, and he often lends money to make some small profits. The release of goods is urgent, but some people are grateful to him when they are in a hurry to use the money, but when they repay the debt, they hate him to the core, and it is inevitable to slander and slander. The so-called gangsters must be these people who hate and retaliate, rectify him, and ask the eldest master to uphold justice. ”

Hua Qingfeng said: "Whether he is guilty or not, he still needs to be checked to know, if Li Yanting is indeed wronged, this county will naturally not add guilt for no reason, after verifying the wrong, Su Zhutou will quietly release him." Who would have thought that your people would make such a big fanfare, but this county needs to think of a reason that will not make people suspicious. ”

Li Mubai and Li Yanju couldn't help but secretly regret their impulsiveness when they heard this, Hua Qingfeng pretended to think about it, and thought about it: "In this way, this county thinks about it again, if Li Yanting is indeed not a thief, how to explain to people that he was detained by Su Zhutou." The two of you should appease your people to go back, and don't make trouble for no reason.

Then you went to the prison, and in order to prevent leaking the news, Su Zhutou took him there for questioning. If Li Yanting is guilty, you two should assist the government in persuading him to turn himself in, and tell the truth as soon as possible, so that the responsibility can be reduced. If you are not guilty, you two can also tell him about the hardships of the county, and keep the county's secrets together. He is a good citizen. It is necessary to assist the government to eliminate violence, peace and tranquility, and pacify the localities. ”

The two of them only said yes, and retreated in a gloomy manner.

Hua Qingfeng saw that he explained according to the method Su Xuntian said, and the Li family really had the tendency to stop fighting, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice: "This time I even coaxed and scared, and it really scared them." That Ye Xiaotian is a little crooked. ”

He is a nerd who is naïve, but he doesn't know that Ye Xiaotian's method is the usual trick of catching and deceiving the cell bosses.

The Li clan was guarding outside the ya, and suddenly saw the two clansmen coming out of the county ya, and they were relieved and gathered around.

The two men were stiff-skinned. He didn't answer a word to the constant inquiries of the clansmen who came up, and hurried to the front of the most venerable and senior of the clansmen present, and let the other clansmen avoid it first, and then whispered the explanation of Huazhi County to the elder.

The elder couldn't help but get nervous when he heard this, and Li Mubai said to everyone: "Fellow clansmen, Li Yanting was detained by someone, it was really a misunderstanding. The two of us will go and see him, and if it is all right, we will take him back early tomorrow morning. Let's go back, everybody. ”

A clansman couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Mu Bai, what did the county master say to you, why Yan Ting was arrested, you can make it clear." ”

The elder of the clan shouted loudly, "Shut up! Mu Bai has always been steady. Since he said this to you, he has a reason. Okay, let's go back, what's the matter? And Mu Bai will deal with it, and you all go back. ”

As soon as this old man spoke, those Li clan members had no objections. Immediately they dispersed with each other. Li Mubai and Li Yanju stayed in front of the county yamen, and after the clansmen dispersed, two dukes came and led them to the prison.

The prison is in the west of the county government, the general prison is integrated with the county government building, and Huxian County has only been three or four years old when it has been changed to the official system, the local Han people were managed by the inspection department in the past, when the prison was built on the west city wall, in order to save money when the county government was built, it took over and used the original inspection department prison, which was not together with the county government.

However, Huxian County was not big, and it was only a few streets away, and soon they came to the prison, and the prison saw that it was a person sent by the county yamen, and after checking the waist cards of the two dukes, he let them enter the hall prison and sent a jailer to accompany them.

The six of them walked forward, but through a courtyard, there was a sudden shouting and scolding in front of them, because in the dead of night, the sound of blades could be heard. The two dukes were taken aback, and hurriedly drew their waist knives, and the jailer who led them also drew their knives, and pretended to exclaim, "No, something has happened!" ”

The three of them walked forward quickly, Li Mubai and Li Yanju were a little nervous, and they had the heart to retreat but no one led the way, so they had to follow the three men forward.

A turn in front of you, is a road, the road is not a straight line, the front is not long, and then there is a turn, then you see the sword light and sword shadow on the wall in front of you, flashing, it is obvious that someone is fighting in the road, and the figure is reflected on the wall by the lights on the wall.

The figure on the wall in front of the corridor was constantly writhing, and there was a person lying on the ground, but the robe was the civilian robe of ordinary people, silent, as if he was dead, and there was a public man next to him, who was scuffling with a man in prison uniform.

The three public servants who accompanied Li Mubai and Li Yanju immediately raised their knives and pounced, Li Yanju was just an ordinary person, even if Li Mubai had seen some of the world, and how could he have seen such a thing as escaping from prison, he immediately stood tremblingly, and did not dare to advance, nor did he dare to retreat.

Su Xuntian was holding the corpse of a death row prisoner, and the two wrists of the corpse were rolling on the ground, making a scuffle and fighting, when suddenly three dukes pounced and swung their knives at the corpse, and the blood flowed all over him. Li Yanju only felt that his face was wet, and when he stretched out his hand to wipe it, it was full of splashed blood, and he rolled his eyes in fright, and immediately fainted.

Su Xuntian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, quickly shook off the dead body, and shouted, "Quick! Death row prisoners have escaped, go and help! ”

The three dukes "hacked to death" the "escaped prisoner", and immediately rushed into the corridor again, Li Mubai stood tremblingly, and saw that the figures fighting on the wall became more and more intense, because of the addition of the three new forces, the battle quickly ended, and the figures still standing on the wall were all jailers wearing official uniforms and soap hats, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and it was only then that he found that his crotch was wet, and he was so frightened that he peed his pants.
