Chapter Seventy-Seven: Arrest on the spot
Zhao Kang feigned anger, and as soon as he mentioned the internal force, he sped up, and several catchers followed one after another, and everyone gradually broke away from the large army that was already in chaos behind them.
Seeing the edge of the city wall, Zhao Kang looked back and saw that the neighbors had not caught up, and his expression suddenly became serious.
Pippi Chicken ran to the bottom of the city wall and had stopped his movements, while Zhao Kang gestured to a few catchers around him, and a few people lifted their bodies and climbed over the city wall.
Grabbing the Pippi chicken, Zhao Kang didn't forget to smile at Huai Yanqing who was hiding in the tree.
The two exchanged glances and learned that the first stage of the mission had been successful.
Since Huai Yanqing had already said about the situation at this entrance, Zhao Kang and the others stopped when they were about to reach the open space and hid around.
Unlike the last time Huai Yanqing came, there were people in the open space now, and there were a few carriages parked, and there were a few guards around.
Gotta find a way to get in.
As a result, before Zhao Kang had time to think about what method to use, he only heard a few sighs breaking through the air, and the few people watching the carriage fell to the ground one after another, leaving only those horses as if frightened and kept stepping on their hooves.
"Up." Zhao Kang commanded in a low voice.
A few catchers rushed up, took out ropes and tied up the few people who were knocked unconscious by Huai Yanqing, and surrounded the entrance of the cave.
"Go down and let this chicken lead the way." Zhao Kang handed the Pippi chicken to a thin brother beside him, "Let's go!" ”
With his order, the two catchers quickly stepped forward, took out the prepared oil lamps with hoods, and several people lined up and quickly descended.
Before Zhao Kang could enter the entrance of the cave, he heard the sound of a fight in the cave below.
"Brother Zhao, let's go."
Huai Yanqing jumped down from the tree, masked and said to Zhao Kang.
In the narrow passage, the people on the opposite side were wrestling with the catcher who had come down at the beginning, both with knives in their hands.
The passage is narrow and dim, and neither side can take advantage of it, and the purpose of those people on the opposite side is obviously not to fight with the catcher, but to retreat!
The sharp-eyed Zhao Kang and Huai Yanqing noticed that in the middle of this group of people, there was actually a Liu Shengjin, unarmed and retreating in horror.
"Liu Shengjin! Stop! Zhao Kang shouted at Liu Shengjin.
Liu Shengjin saw that Zhao Kang had noticed him, and ran away with his head in his hands as soon as he screamed.
And behind him were the men with knives.
Liu Shengjin has nowhere to go.
"Okay, you." Zhao Kang stretched out his hand and pressed Liu Shengjin's shoulder and tied him up, "I just grabbed a chicken, I didn't expect to run into you?" ”
"Zhao Kang, you let go of me!" Obviously, they were all pressed to the ground by Zhao Kang, and Liu Shengjin was still shouting, "Be careful of my brothers hacking you to death!" ”
Zhao Kang's action of tying him in his hand still didn't stop, and he sneered.
"Your brother? I don't think they meant to save you. ”
"Impossible!" Liu Shengjin lay on the ground and shouted.
Zhao Kang lifted him up and said to the enemy on the opposite side: "Your people are in my hands, if you don't surrender, don't blame me for being rude!" ”
"Brother Xiao! Save me! Liu Shengjin shouted at the group of people.
Those people had been arrested and were almost at the end of the corridor, seeing that Liu Shengjin had fallen into the hands of the other party, the person who was called Brother Xiao by Liu Shengjin snorted coldly, pulled off a lever next to him and turned around and ran.
The whole passage shook.
"Oh no, it's going to collapse, run!" Zhao Kang shouted.
"Boss! The door here is locked! "Xiao Yu couldn't open the door for those people to retreat.
"Run back!" Zhao Kang shouted.
The men quickly turned around and ran towards the road they had come from, until they reached the fork in the passage.
The road they had just stepped on had been completely blocked by rubble, and even the road next to it had not been spared, half of it had collapsed.
"Damn it!" Although Zhao Kang felt that Liu Shengjin was an outcast, he didn't expect him to be so useless, and he didn't even have the use of scaring the other side.
"Boss! What's going on? "The man who had been looking for medicine poked his head out of another passage.
Zhao Kang looked at it, but fortunately, the passage where the medicine was put had not collapsed: "Let's go, go over there!" ”
And Liu Shengjin, because his own people chose not to save him, has fallen into despair and pain.
At the end of the operation, the troops were collected, Zhao Kang held the leather chicken in one hand, and dragged Liu Shengjin, who was tied to death, to the yamen with the other.
The medicine in the cave left a few people to move out, and the few white paper bags found from Liu Shengjin's body will be used as evidence in court and handed over directly to the county lord and Lord Qin.
It's just that he didn't catch Mo Xianglin, Zhao Kang secretly thought, it's really a pity.
He raised his hand and made a somewhat strange stretching movement, seeing that he was stretching, he was actually saying hello to Huai Yanqing, who was squatting in the dark, that the plan was completed and that he could move on to the next step.
Huai Yanqing, who was hiding in the middle of the bushes, saw Zhao Kang's gesture and turned around and left.
During the time when Zhao Kang dragged Liu Shengjin back to the yamen, he had to withdraw to the store and change his equipment to his usual appearance.
I saw Zhao Kang coming back from outside the city with a chicken in his left hand and a chicken in his right hand, and the neighbors applauded because they caught the chicken, and on the other hand, they were strange because Liu Shengjin was tied up with five flowers.
Someone had the audacity to ask: "Zhao Zhutou, what did this Liu Shengjin do and get arrested?" ”
Zhao Kang's expression was serious: "Fellow, the matter is serious, there is nothing to say." ”
As soon as Zhao Kang said this, everyone's curiosity was aroused.
They all followed behind Zhao Kang, wanting to know what was going on.
In this way, Zhao Kang and the catchers took the lead, and several neighbors followed behind them and walked towards the yamen.
After bringing the people here, Zhao Kang ordered the people around him to go to the county magistrate to go directly to the court.
At this moment, Liu Shengjin was completely panicked, and kept looking at the crowd behind him and screaming for help, and he didn't know who he was calling.
The county magistrate had already been prepared, and after catching the quick report, he exchanged glances with Qin Shuyao and went directly to the court.
"Might-Force-"
The sound of the bottom end of the admonition stick hitting the ground was complex and intimidating, and Zhao Kang and the catchers pulled Liu Shengjin to court.
Zhao Kang took out the paper bags that were found and placed them in front of the county master.
The county magistrate sat on the court with a cold face, and was shocked to slap the desk.
"Bold Liu Shengjin, a few days ago he said that there is no problem with his sugar packet, but I didn't expect it."
The county magistrate was furious, and the two mustaches on the side of his mouth were raised to the sky.
"You not only drugged your sugar packet, but also blamed others and deceived the government, now that there is all the evidence, what crime should you be guilty of!"
Liu Shengjin couldn't figure out why he was arrested when he went to pick up the goods, and his whole face turned two degrees white in an instant, and his whole body trembled and kowtowed to the county master:
"Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives......"
"Humph!" The county magistrate snorted coldly, "Give me an honest explanation, who are your accomplices!" ”
Liu Shengjin was obviously frightened, and said while kowtowing: "It's Shopkeeper Mo, from beginning to end, it was Shopkeeper Mo from Qinghelou who asked me to do this!" ”
The shopkeeper of Qinghe Building?
The onlookers who watched the trial of the case in the back looked at each other.
Didn't the shopkeeper Mo make a certificate for his sugar packets last time? Why did he become the shopkeeper Mo again and let him do this?
"Really?" The county magistrate was shocked to shoot the case, "Chuan Qinghe Lou Mo shopkeeper!" ”
Shopkeeper Mo is still doing business in his own store, but he didn't expect that someone would come to the door and say that the yamen had summoned him and went with them?
I don't know what the yamen is doing, the shopkeeper Mo was puzzled, and after squeezing through the crowd, he actually saw Liu Shengjin who was tied up with five flowers, and knew that something was wrong.
"See your Excellency." The shopkeeper Mo saluted the county master.
"This Liu Shengjin said that you sold this medicine to him, and taught him how to deceive the official, is the situation true?" The county magistrate asked.
Shopkeeper Mo's face was full of shock.
This Liu Shengjin, how easily confessed all of him?
Before he finished speaking, he heard a commotion around him. tasted, it turned out that Liu Shengjin was scared to pee his pants.
"Your Excellency." Shopkeeper Mo bowed again, "What medicine?" What deception? ”
The county magistrate frowned: "What do you mean by this?" ”
The shopkeeper Mo was full of grievances: "My lord, I really don't know what the adults mean, and I don't sell any medicine to my junior brother in Xia, let alone deceive my lord." ”
"You ......" Liu Shengjin saw that Shopkeeper Mo didn't admit this matter at all, and shouted at him in a hurry, "Shopkeeper Mo, how can you not admit what you said!" ”
"What did I say?" Shopkeeper Mo still looked confused, "Didn't you come to me last time and say that someone wronged you for putting medicine in the sugar packet and asked me to testify for you?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the expression on Shopkeeper Mo's face became even more exciting, as if he had figured out something in an instant:
"Could it be that you really put medicine in your sugar packet and deceived me to testify for you?"
Before Liu Shengjin could speak, a touch of pain climbed onto the face of the shopkeeper Mo: "Senior brother, I am kind enough to wash away your grievances, you can't treat me like this!" ”
Liu Shengjin saw that the shopkeeper Mo had already turned his face and didn't recognize anyone: "The surname is Mo, obviously you didn't like Lin Jinxiu, so he ran to my house in the middle of the night to buy me the medicine!" ”
"You ......" Shopkeeper Mo looked aggrieved on his face, and said to the county master: "My lord, is there really medicine in my junior brother's sugar packet?" ”
The county magistrate pointed to the white medicine bag on the table next to him: "The physical evidence is here." ”
Seeing the paper bag, Shopkeeper Mo slapped his palm with a fan: "Senior brother, junior brother, I didn't expect you to be so ruthless and unjust, are you worthy of Master!" ”
"You fart!" Liu Shengjin saw that Shopkeeper Mo began to reverse black and white, and he was really anxious, "There is no master at all!" It's all made up by this shopkeeper! I didn't even study art! ”
Who can believe Liu Shengjin when he says this? No one believed it.
A few days ago, almost the whole county knew about going out to study art, and after you came back, you really got a good time, and now you actually say that there is no master?
So the neighbors went to cheer for your sugar packets, and the co-authors were all being played as fools?
Of course, everyone doesn't want to be fooled, and Liu Shengjin's words caused public outrage as soon as they came out.
Everyone insisted that Liu Shengjin was definitely lying, just to involve Shopkeeper Mo.
"You are presumptuous!" Shopkeeper Mo saw Liu Shengjin say that the master made it up by himself, and knocked on Liu Shengjin's head with a fan, "Do you want to make the master and his old man angry to death!" ”
"Silence!" Seeing that the scene was gradually out of control, the county magistrate knocked on the startling wood hard, "Give me silence!" ”
Under the coercion of the shocking wood, the public hall slowly fell silent.
