Wen Chaotian has always emphasized that no official is allowed to oppress the good and beat the people for no reason.

It is estimated that yesterday's incident, there is a rumor in his ears, and this will be investigated.

Niu inspected and looked at Ma Qianli, and Ma Qianli shook his head vigorously, indicating that he did not tell the secret.

Niu Inspector glanced at Ma Qianli and said to Wen Chaotian: "My lord Mingjian, Xia Guan did beat the street vendor on the street yesterday, but it was by no means a beating for no reason, if you don't believe it, you can ask Brother Duan." ”

Wen Chaotian heard the words and looked at Duan Chu.

"Lord Hui, yesterday I went out with Lord Niu to handle a case, but I was hugged by people and framed me, saying that I was going to rob their daughter, but Lord Niu was not very popular, so he relieved me of the siege."

Duan Chu's answer is not a lie, but it also hides a lot of inside information.

Wen Chaotian listened, his brows stretched a lot, and he asked Tie Si Prison if this was the case.

"My lord, I heard that's the case." The officialdom old fritter iron prison is not leaky.

Wen Chaotian didn't want to, because of trivial matters, it involved Niu and Duan, the two favorite generals.

Hearing Tie Si Prison's words, Wen Chaotian immediately laughed, and after laughing, he said loudly: "Good fight!" Such a bad people, if you don't fight, you won't have a long memory! ”

Tie Si said in prison heart, fortunately, the old man knew what answer he wanted when he saw his brows stretched just now.

The cow patrol covered his chest at this time.

"Lord Niu, I ate three steamed buns yesterday and vomited uncomfortably, right? Now the face is not good, go home and rest, this house can't force the sick cattle to plow the land. Wen Chaotian is also concerned about cattle inspection.

In this way, the matter of the two Jiang butchers being beaten easily passed the test.

Out of the gate of the mansion, Duan Chu wanted to send the cattle inspection home to rest, and the cattle inspection swept away the sickness just now.

"What are you going to do when you go home, it's better to drink and have fun, let's go, drink something!"

In the words of Zhuzi, in the past few days, Duan Chu Wagyu has been inspected, and he has become two wine worms in a wine vat.

……

Wen Chaotian also asked Tie Si Prison to notify several subordinate counties to find people from various counties to identify the corpses that had been stabbed to death with daggers on Huxin Island.

Tie Si Prison was ordered to leave, and Wen Chaotian and Ma Qianli were left in the mansion.

Ma Qianli's eyelids jumped, and he always felt that Wen Chaotian had caught the evidence of his receipt of black money.

"Ma Zhutou, there have always been people in Pengzhou Mansion recently, the cats and dogs raised have been lost, and it's okay to say that if you lose a child one day, then it's troublesome, you go to check."

Ma Qianli wiped his sweat and said in his heart that it was okay, but he hadn't found my head yet.

Ma Qianli took more than a dozen officials to the streets, counted one afternoon, and drew a picture of cats and dogs missing.

This kind of thing is cumbersome and grinding, and a servant complained: "Chief catcher, we are arresting people, not looking for cats and dogs, Master Wen sent this job, which one is it to play?" ”

Ma Qianli hugged his head and slapped him: "Lord Wen is the prefect, or are you the prefect!" ”

After Ma Qianli finished speaking, he took a pen and drew a circle on the picture of the cat and dog going missing, and the center of the circle was near Jiang Tuhu's house.

So dozens of officials, under the leadership of Ma Qianli, turned the surrounding area upside down.

The thieves who stole the cats and dogs were not found.

How did they know that there was a real murderer hidden in the old poplar tree that they had circled around several times!

While investigating the case, Ma Qianli pondered in his heart, and when the corpses were identified, it would not be a few days before the shopkeeper Xu was arrested.

He gritted his teeth and decided that as long as the corpse was recognized by the counties below, he would kill the shopkeeper Xu!

……

That night, in the dead of night.

Jiang Xiaomei appeared under the old tree, and the big yellow dog squatted next to her to keep a sentry, as long as someone came, the big yellow dog could detect it from afar, and would bite Jiang Xiaomei's trouser leg and pull her to hide.

Jiang Xiaomei bought dozens of meat buns the day before yesterday, but they were not actually thrown into the dung pit.

At that time, the big yellow dog spit out of its mouth was the cover of a person's fingernails.

She originally thought that the big yellow dog had bitten someone, but she soon learned that it was in the bun.

It turned out that the big yellow dog went to the bun shop at night to find the little and saw the whole process of the broken corpse in the bun shop.

That's why she hurried over and bought all the remaining meat buns.

Her purpose is to feed the meat buns to the old poplar tree, so that the old poplar tree likes the taste of human flesh, and quickly cultivates the idea of the old poplar eating people.

Last night she fed Lao Shu a lot of meat buns, and tonight she fed the remaining half.

I saw her throwing the meat buns into the tree hole one by one, and the sound of swallowing came from the tree hole from time to time.

When there were a few left, Jiang Xiaomei deliberately threw the buns on the ground.

Every time I didn't wait for the bun to land, the two branches in the poplar tree stretched out and grabbed the bun first.

When the bun was gone, the two branches were still sticking out, trying to grab Jiang Xiaomei's feet and neck.

Jiang Xiaomei knew that the old poplar tree had a great appetite and was used to human flesh.

It's time to kill!

……

At this time, Mr. Wei was still at the gate of the mansion, waiting anxiously, and after a while, a short man walked up to Mr. Wei with a note written by Fan Niang in his hand.

Mr. Wei looked at the visitor and asked, "How old are you?" ”

"After the spring, I just turned fifteen." The person who came was Qian Yining, a young man from Zhongwu County.

Mr. Wei couldn't help but shake his head and said, "It's too small." ”

Qian Yining listened, turned around and left, and Mr. Wei hurriedly chased after him and whispered to stop him.

"Mr. is a hero based on age, such a prejudice is not enough for Yi Ning to work with you, don't pass it over, there will be a period later." Qian Yining was very tough.

Mr. Wei couldn't help but admire it when he heard it, and felt that this young man named Qian Yining should definitely not be underestimated.

So he was sincere and kind to say, and invited Qian Yining to his study.

"Do you know how to ride a horse?" Mr. Wei closed the door and asked.

Qian Yining nodded.

"What's the use of making money?" Mr. Wei asked again.

"The mother is dead, and there is no money to bury it!" It was obviously a matter of great compassion, but Qian Yining's face was not shocked after speaking.

"Good! is a filial son, and he can naturally achieve great things! After the completion of the matter, the honorarium package is satisfactory to you, not only enough to bury the church, but also enough for you to marry a wife and have children! ”

When Mr. Wei said this, he took out a cowhide bag from the drawer, which contained a portrait of beads, as well as his name post, and a secret letter he wrote to the old acquaintance in the capital.

He wrote another identity guide and handed it to Qian Yining first.

"You have to take my name card and go to the capital for me, find Huang Jin, the great eunuch of the Governor Dongchang, and be sure to hand over the things to him when only the two of you are alone, and then wait for him to arrange it."

At this point, Mr. Wei asked, "Can you do it?" ”

Qian Yining didn't say much, and only threw out eight words: "Don't be suspicious of employing people, don't use suspicious people." ”

Mr. Wei nodded, and stuffed the cowhide bag and a large bag of silver to Qian Yining.

Mr. Wei personally sent Qian Yining out of the main city, and outside the city gate, there were two tall horses.

"The two horses ride in turn, rest during the day and rush at night, and safety comes first in everything! Great work! ”

Qian Yining didn't say anything when he heard this, turned over on his horse, rode one by one, and drove away.

When Mr. Wei returned to the city, he deliberately passed by Fan Niang's makeup powder shop.

The small window on the second floor was open, and Fan Niang heard the footsteps and stretched out her head to smile at Mr. Wei.

Mr. Wei nodded vigorously, indicating that he was satisfied with the person she was looking for.

When Mr. Wei walked away, the small window closed gently, and the beautiful woman behind the window sighed.

Mr. Wei, who was in the distance, stopped around the corner and looked back, saw that the light that had just been emitted had been locked in the window, raised his head, and let out a long sigh in the quiet night.

After sighing, as soon as Mr. Wei turned around, Wen Chaotian was in front of him.

"Sir, is there something to hide from me?" Wen Chaotian's face was expressionless.
