Chapter 59

Jiang Liu saw that this person was willing to help him, and immediately knelt on the ground on one knee, clenched his fists, and thanked him a thousand times, and the man smiled and said; "It's a little thing, why worry about it, besides, if you really catch the robber who escaped, it can be regarded as a scourge for the people."

After speaking, the man was in front and Jiang Liu was behind, seeing that he had left the crowd, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them came to a restaurant not far away, and the man asked Jiang Liu for a bowl of rice and a bowl of vegetable soup, and after watching Jiang Liu gobble it up, he continued to ask him; "Housheng, what is your surname?"

Jiang Liu hurriedly replied; "The surname of the late born is Jiang, and the single name is a flowing character, dare to ask the name of the righteous man with the surname Gao?"

The man shook the feather fan in his hand and said; "My name is Chai Wok, and I am a knife and pen official in the county government, and I just saw you down, looking like you were suffering, and I couldn't help but feel compassion, so I reached out to help you."

Before Chai Wok finished speaking, a shopkeeper came to him with pen, ink and paper, and said respectfully; "Second Master Chai, please use it."

Chai Wok sighed, motioned to Jiang Liu to take the pen, ink and paper, and wrote down the story of his robbery on the dining table, then stood up, picked up the written form with both hands and handed it to him, Chai Wok took it and read it, and said; "Okay, you can stay at the hotel near the county office, and when the county magistrate ascends to the hall tomorrow morning, you can take the form and present it."

Jiang Liu wanted to say that he was penniless, how could he live in a hotel, but after thinking about it again, if he said this, wouldn't he want to borrow from this person who was willing to help him, wouldn't it be an inch, so he didn't say anything more, but unexpectedly, Chai Wok stood up at this time and said to Jiang Liu; "Housheng, come with me, I will arrange for you to leave at the hotel."

After Jiang Liu heard this, he hurriedly said; "The little ones really don't dare to have Lauen people anymore, and I think the little ones should have no problem sleeping outside for a night."

Chai Wok listened to Jiang Liu's words, and was busy shaking the feather fan in his hand and said; "You don't have to worry too much about this future life, I don't want your return, why are you afraid?"

The more Chai Wok said this, the more Jiang Liu couldn't refute, he saw that Chai Wok had walked out of the restaurant after speaking, so he had to follow out, and outside, Jiang Liu kicked and tread and followed Chai Wok all the way, on the way, he saw that many passers-by saw Chai Wok either immediately stopped to greet him with a smiling face, or stopped on the side of the road and let him go first, and then he understood in his heart that Chai Wok must be a formidable powerful figure in Linyuan County, but there is also a thing that makes Jiang Liu very uncomfortable, those pedestrians who come and go, Seeing him ragged and unkempt following behind the wok, they all looked at him with a look of disdain.

Fortunately, after Chai Wok led him a few streets, he came to a hotel called Shunfeng All the Way, looking at the magnificent plaque and tall and spacious houses outside the hotel, Jiang Liu felt that this was by no means a small hotel, he was worried about whether it would cost a lot of money to live in such a hotel, Chai Wok had already led Jiang Liu into the lobby of the hotel, and before Jiang Liu could take a closer look at what the lobby of the hotel looked like, he saw a man who looked like a man running out of the hotel, he first hit a thousand in front of Chai Wok, bent down and said; "Master is here."

Chai Wok snorted with his nose, and then commanded the fellow; "This is my guest, you lead him to the guest room in the backyard, and all the expenses for eating and drinking are mine."

The guy immediately respectfully agreed "Yes," and then looked up at Jiang Liu, and then didn't say anything, turned around and walked towards the backyard, Jiang Liu looked at the firewood wok, but unexpectedly the firewood woks had turned around and walked outside, Jiang Liu had no room to think, he had to follow the guy in front, overtook the back, out of the front house, the back is still a big courtyard, except for the first-class houses in the back, the rest are trees and flowers, which makes people feel like a small garden.

Jiang Liu was feeling strange, the guy in front had already led him to the top room in the back row of houses, and when he entered the door, the guy deliberately squeezed out a smile and said; "You will stay in this room tonight, and I will bring you the food when the meal is served, and if you feel tired, you can go to the well and wash it first, and rest after dinner."

After the man finished speaking, he walked out of the house, Jiang Liu only had time to look at the guest room where he lived, he saw that this room was very small, the door of the room was facing the bed, and there was a small wooden table in front of the bed, on which were placed two clay bowls for drinking water, and the room could hardly hold anything other than these things, and what puzzled him was that the windows on the wall of the house were high but small, and although the weather was very hot, the windows were closed.

Although there is something abnormal when I see these phenomena, as a person in distress, as a downcast person who has been rescued by well-wishers, what else can Jiang Liu think except for gratitude!

After the guy left, Jiang Liu planned to go to the well to wash well, but he gave up this idea as soon as he thought of a bag of gold in his hand, at this time he suddenly smelled a rancid smell, although Jiang Liu did not pick it up, after smelling this smell, he still followed the smell and looked, he saw that the luggage stacked on the bed was very worn, and it was stained with sweat, so he leaned over and took a closer look, and a more unpleasant smell came out of the luggage, Jiang Liu understood, the smell was emanating from the luggage, but, He thought again, no matter what, it is better than sleeping on the street, and when he thought about it, Jiang Liu immediately calmed down.

Sleepy and tired Jiang Liu lay on the bed far away from the luggage, just lay down he found that he panicked, so, he reached under his hand, only to remember, there is a small bamboo tube on his body, but, the small bamboo tube is obviously placed in his arms, how can it be moved to the back, although Jiang Liu felt strange, but he didn't care very much, he picked up the small bamboo tube, inadvertently took a look, only to find that the bamboo tube was smooth on the top, he remembered that the barrel lid originally had "ah, well, mi, sting" four very small words, Jiang Liu felt that he might have remembered wrong, I looked at it again, but the lid of the bucket was still smooth, and there was still a shadow of handwriting.

Jiang Liu took the small bamboo tube in his hand, looked at the bottom again, but saw that there was no handwriting at the bottom, at this time he suddenly remembered, maybe he carried it in his arms, slept all night, walked more than 20 miles, came to the county and stood for a long time, besides, there was a lot of sweat on his body along the way, maybe the sweat washed the handwriting, he didn't think much about it, and then the small bamboo tube was carried into his arms.

At this time, the guy walked in quietly with a pot of tea, and there was no sound when he walked, which surprised Jiang Liu, but out of politeness, Jiang Liu still sat up from the bed, and the man put the pot of tea on the small wooden table in front of the bed, picked up a pottery bowl from the table, wiped it very carefully with the white cloth on his shoulder, and then put some tea leaves in the bowl, and then poured the water in the kettle into the bowl, and then said to Jiang Liu with a smile; "Guest officer, you must be very tired after a day of walking, please quench your thirst with a bowl of tea first, and you will have dinner in a while."

In the face of the kindness and diligence of the guys, Jiang Liu could think of anything else, he was busy saying; "I'm tired, I'm tired, little second brother."

Then he picked up the tea bowl and drank it, and before he could drink the bowl of tea, Jiang Liu suddenly felt sleepy, no, it should be said that he was confused, and then he didn't even have time to put down the tea bowl in his hand, and fell headlong on the bed.

As soon as Jiang Liu fainted on the bed, the fellow laughed and laughed; "Silly boy, it's our Chai Ye's way again."

After saying this, he hurried out of the house, went outside and locked the door, and then came to a secret room in the front yard, knocked lightly on the door three times, and waited for a few more moments, until a low voice came from inside; "Is it a second ghost?"

The man standing outside whispered back; "Chai Ye, it's the little one, that nerd has been turned over by me."

There was another voice from within; "Come in and talk."

The fellow, known as the second ghost, cautiously opened the door and walked in, and when he came to the house, he saw the wood wok, right and evil, lying on the bed, and a young girl kneeling beside him was beating his waist.

It turned out that Chai Wok had never left this courtyard at all, he pretended to turn around, but he was secretly observing the river, when he saw the guy leading the river to the backyard, he immediately turned around and came to this secret room, and when the man settled the river, and returned to report to him, he asked the guy: "What do you see in the cloth bag in that nerd's hand, why is his hand holding the cloth bag tightly?" ”

The second ghost replied with a smirk; "Back to Chai Ye, the little one is dull, I can't see what it is, but, the little one is sure, which bag contains something heavy, I think it should be something valuable!"

After listening to the words of the two ghosts, Chai Wok first said "hmm", and then commanded; "You go and bring him a special pot of tea, and come back to report to me after the hemp is turned, and then make a decision."

"Yes," the second ghost immediately agreed, and walked backwards out of the secret room. This kung fu, Chai Wok saw that the two ghosts were back again, so he asked; "Do you see what's in the bag in his hand?"

The two ghosts replied; "When the little one saw that he fainted, he hurriedly ran to report to the master, so he didn't have time to watch."

Chai Wok was about to then order the two ghosts standing in front of him with his eyes lowered and lowered his hands to bring over the cloth bag that the idiot was holding in his hand, but unexpectedly there was a long, two, short and three knocks outside the door, and after Chai Wok heard it, he frowned, and at this time, a shrill voice came from outside the door; "Bingchai Ye, the big ghost is back, have something important to report?"

After listening to the report outside the door, Chai Wok immediately stretched his brows and said loudly; "Come in?"

The big ghost opened the door and walked in, the second ghost flashed to the side, and the guy who was called the big ghost by the wood wok, after entering the house, immediately lowered his head and reported; "Back to Master Chai, the girl who just presented to the county commander is very satisfying to the county magistrate."

Chai Wok sneered and asked again; "Why did you go for most of the day?"

The big ghost hurriedly reported; "Bingchai Ye, this time is different from the last few times, after I brought the girl into the middle hall, the county commander left me for lunch, and then in front of the villain, he ordered the two old mothers in his house to bathe and change clothes for the girl, and then he went to the back hall, because he did not tell the little one to leave, so the little one had to wait there, and after more than half an hour, the county commander came to the middle hall with a satisfied smile, and told me that he was unacceptable today because he took the new gold pill refined by Daoist Ge last night, and it was difficult to collect it today. That girl came at the right time, and the county magistrate also said that the girl was really a newcomer, and the red of the broken melon had been sucked into by him, which would greatly enhance his skills, so he asked me to give you a message, and the case of Master Li Zhuang will be judged according to your intentions, and he will be promoted to the court tomorrow. ”

After listening to the big ghost's report, Chai Wok nodded and asked again; "Has the girl's father taken care of it?"
