said that he was going to leave, but Li Yan still stayed in the house of Zhen's mansion until noon. When the messenger from the county government came, Li Yan revealed his identity and asked the messenger to lead the way and rush to the county office.

The Zhen Mansion also has to send people, carry the bodies of the old lady and the two maids, and send them to the morgue of the county government with the messengers.

Li Yan and the three of them went to the county government, on the one hand, on the one hand, on the other hand, there was no approval from the government in this matter, and it was not legal for Li Yan to get out alone.

As early as the Jiajing period, for all cases related to ghosts and monsters, or suspected ghosts and monsters, there was a "dragon and tiger eunuch" yamen responsible for investigation and seizure, even if Li Yan had killed the corpse of the water woman with a knife, and also found out the suspected mastermind behind the scenes, this matter must be reported to the county government, the county order agreed, and then handled by the local "dragon and tiger eunuch". This is the testimonies.

However, Li Yan carried Shangfeng's handwritten edict on his body, and he didn't necessarily know what happened when he left, but it was a trouble after all.

Moreover, Li Yan has his own plans.

It seems that the 48th Outer Road is in the dark, and it is in the light, but it is not.

It is the will of the Emperor of God to escort the Dragon and Tiger Banner by himself, and the yamen of each state capital have the obligation and responsibility to do their best to provide convenience for themselves. Li Yancai should be the one who holds the general trend in check.

It was just that I couldn't find clues before, but now the case of Zhenfu and Cha Xiaodao's experience corroborate it, proving that there is a "watchman" in the outside world who committed the crime, which is giving Li Yan a thread to make trouble.

Er Jian Lian told Danniang that he wanted to kill less evil by himself, Li Yan didn't listen to it, but in his opinion, using the power of the government to contain the forty-eight outer roads and let them come to their own troubles is the best way to make themselves less evil......

Along the way, people don't dare to slack off, after all, the official level crushes people to death. When they arrived at the gate of the county seat, everything was in order, and the officials had to go in first to tell the county lord and let Li Yan stop him.

"Brother, you take my tooth tag and this handwritten book in, and pass it on to the magistrate, it's hard work."

The official took what Li Yan gave him and trotted into the yamen.

There was about a cigarette, and the official came back and returned the calligraphy card, saying that the magistrate had invited Li Zhen to talk about it.

Zhixian's surname is Li, the word Wuyi, is a Jinshi in the twenty-eighth year of Wanli, and his official reputation is not bad.

Li Zhixian is a young man in his twenties, who looks much younger than Li Yan, has an elegant appearance and good manners.

When he saw Li Yan, he was dressed as a scarlet sword box and a bronze sword, and he hugged his fists to greet him

"Li Zhenfu came from afar, Wuyi has lost his welcome, please forgive me."

Li Yan picked up the tea bowl: "Lord Li, we are our own family, and we have a good fate, but I have the emperor's order, so polite words will be waived, the ins and outs of the matter, you must have heard from your subordinates, you are a local parent official, I don't want you to be embarrassed, but I still want to end this case quickly." ”

His own official position is also above the magistrate of the seventh rank and the dragon and tiger capital supervisor of the ninth grade, and there is no need to go around in circles with Li Wuyi.

Li Wuyi Zhixian blinked, and pondered for a while before saying: "Lord Zhenfu is quick to talk, evil kills, and then ambushes, the evidence is conclusive, and the case should be closed." ”

Li Yan was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.

Didn't this magistrate think that he had played a disgraceful role in the case, and he wanted to close the case quickly, but he was a thief?

"That's not what I meant."

Li Yan coughed: "Sister Yu of Zhenfu testified that on the skin of the old lady who killed the old lady, there is a bracelet of the bull head fence ten miles north of the guard, which is obviously that he harmed people with evil arts, I mean, the adults should immediately send someone to arrest the murderer!" I also want to set off as soon as possible and go to the Heavenly Master Dao of Dragon and Tiger Mountain. ”

"Well, the appeasement has a point."

Li Wuyi nodded slightly, as if the person who said just now that the case was closed was not him.

"However, this matter is a bit difficult to appease your lord."

"Embarrassed? What's the difficulty? You have a county order, and you don't even have the right to arrest a watchman? ”

Li Yan raised his eyebrows.

"I can naturally send this manpower, write an excerpt to the Criminal Department, and issue sea fishing documents is also a matter of the past two days, but I can arrest the evil people of the foreign way, this is the errand of the Dragon and Tiger Prison, not to mention my county order, it is the Lord Shangshu of the Criminal Department who ordered people to arrest the evil spirits, and it is also beyond my authority."

Li Yan nodded: "That's easy to do, before I came, a dragon and tiger Taoist chief beside Mr. Li gave me a Tiqi token, which can mobilize the local dragon and tiger capital supervisors, you find someone, I will talk to him." ”

"That's great!" Li Wuyi's spirits perked: "When Guo Dujian comes tomorrow afternoon, I will tell the truth." ”

"Tomorrow afternoon?" Li Yan frowned: "What is he doing now?" ”

"Oh. Adults don't know, the Dragon and Tiger Yamen is different from our county Yamen, there are seven days of vacation in October, and Guo Dujian will be considered to be officially in office tomorrow. ”

"I can't wait, tell him to come see me now."

"This ......"

Li Wuyi's face was full of embarrassment, and he said for a long time: "Li Zhenfu, you forgive me for being cold-mouthed, this dragon and tiger yamen...... It's not all the way to my court, Guo Dujian is a man, and he is crazy by nature, I sent someone to go, but I'm afraid that people will ......"

Li Yan glanced at the magistrate in front of him, lowered his head and drank the tea in the cup, and suddenly chuckled: "It's just now that I said, I and the magistrate are my family, and I don't want to make it difficult for my family, my lord just go and send it, oh yes, there is still a bitter lord of the Zhen Mansion and one of my subordinate officials standing at the entrance of the yamen, and the lord arranged their residence first, and I will work with the magistrate to wait for this Guo Dujian to come ......"

"So, well."

Li Wuyi nodded and sent someone to arrange it, and the two waited in the house, chatting from time to time, probably drinking a pot of tea, and then went to call Guo Dujian's official to run back.

"How's it going?"

Li Wuyi asked.

"Lord Huiyu, what Guo Dujian means is that if there is tolerance, he will switch to the shape of the Dragon and Tiger Yamen, and he will naturally deal with it when he goes to court tomorrow."

"Bastard! Didn't you tell him that Li Zhenfu had arrived? ”

Li Yan glanced at Li Wuyi, lowered his head and blew on the end of the tea leaves without speaking.

"Well, it's mentioned, Liaodong Wei has a Master Li here."

Li Wuyi had a calm face: "Then how did Guo Dujian answer?" ”

Without waiting for the official to speak, Li Yan waved his hand: "That's it, this brother, I bother you to run again, take this and hand it over to this Guo Dujian." ”

He took out the wordless iron plate given to him by the Taoist and handed it to the officer.

The official clenched his fists and left, and it was another pot of tea, and the official turned back.

"Then what did Guo Dujian say?"

Li Wuyi pulled a long tone.

"Guo Dujian said, I know."

The official looked a little cringe.

Li Yan chewed the root of the tea leaves and asked again, "What about my brand?" ”

"This ...... I gave it to the servants in Guodu's palace, and he didn't see me again. ”

Li Wuyi was furious: "Bastard! Poor work! ”

"Master Li, what are you angry about?"

Li Yan waved his hand tepidly: "Since that Guo Dujian said that he knew, he must be on the way here." And so on. ”

And so on, that is, until the evening.

The water in the teapot was refilled cup after cup.

Li Wuyi looked more and more anxious, scolding Guo Dujian in his mouth, but Li Yan didn't say anything.

It can be seen that Li Wuyi, the magistrate of the county, is usually angry with this Guo Dujian, and today there is this one, it is not his strategy to drive away the wolf, but Li Yan doesn't care.

"Ahem, calm down the adults, it's better to ...... tomorrow"

Li Wuyi also knew that it was too much, don't look at Li Yan's face, Li Wuyi concluded that this calmer must be angry in his heart.

Just then, a drunken voice came from outside.

"Wuyi, hahaha~ Which Li Zhenfu came to me?"

With that, a fat man in a dark robe walked in with a figure-eight step. He was disheveled, with lip prints around his neck, a jar of wine between his arms, and a strong smell of wine on his body.

"I really don't know the rules! I, the people of Longhu Mountain, also said that they instructed? ”

He bared his tongue: "Calm? Bullshit soothing. ”

Li Wuyi's eyelids jumped, and he felt that he might have gone too far.

He had heard of this Li Zhenfu of Daningwei, a favorite general of Li Chengliang's lineage, who had made countless meritorious contributions on the Korean battlefield, and was by no means a soft persimmon, so he deliberately brought out Guo Zhenfu, who is usually arrogant and domineering, but now if the two fight, I am afraid that the situation will be difficult to clean up.

Unexpectedly, Li Yan laughed and stood up to greet him.

"The person who came is Guo Dujian of the Heavenly Master's Dao, eh, the younger brother Daning Weisi Zuodu calmed Li Yan, and he missed the distance, I hope I will forgive me."

Li Wuyi sounds familiar, isn't this what he said to Li Yan?
