Section 124, on the way to escape [II]

"Yes! That is the heart of the Demon Emperor, if it is obtained by those who have intentions, it is a lifetime of power and wealth, how can those mortals not be tempted. ”

"It's just that do you think the county lord will tell someone else about the Demon Emperor's heart? If everyone knew, would the heart of the Demon Emperor still belong to the county lord? ”

"That's right, but how can the county lord have the ability to find so many helpers? And the appearance of these people is not like they know what the Demon Emperor's heart is, which is too strange. ”

"Forget it, we can't guess anything here, let's wait for Xiaobai to arrest the person back and ask about the situation."

Liu Shoucai and Guigu Song stopped wasting their brains after they finished speaking, and Xiaobai quickly arrested the leader of the officers and soldiers, fortunately he didn't attract the attention of others along the way, otherwise it would be really hard to say what was going on.

"Liu Shoucai, we all guessed wrong, damn it, we were framed......"

Xiao Bai has transformed into a blue fire god at this time, it is holding the collar of the leader of the officers and soldiers, and the leader of the officers and soldiers has already fainted from fright at this time, after Xiao Bai ran over, he immediately shouted, and the Guigu Song who listened to it was very irritable, and blocked Xiao Bai's mouth.

"Okay, we know, you can shut up, it's really noisy."

Guigu Song's displeased eyes made Xiaobai very aggrieved, but seeing that Liu Shoucai and Badou Laosan didn't want to help him, Xiaobai didn't bother to pretend to be aggrieved, and directly threw the leader of the officers and soldiers to the ground.

"Oops......"

Because Xiaobai was too hard, as soon as the leader of the officers and soldiers was thrown to the ground, he immediately made a painful sound, and as the leader of the officers and soldiers woke up, Liu Shoucai and Guigu Song also surrounded him, which was also to prevent him from escaping.

"Daring, kidnapping the court officials, are you guilty?"

The leader of the officers and soldiers did not know the identity of Liu Shoucai and his group, because the portrait drawn during the pursuit was still different from himself, so he did not recognize Liu Shoucai for a while.

"Huh...... Guilty? I really don't know what crime I have committed, and I let you go to great lengths to arrest me, and I said, my lord, why don't you explain it to us! Otherwise, we will be stalked by you all the time, and I will be tired and panicked. ”

"You are...... It's you, okay! This official can finally arrest you and bring you to justice, you bold thieves, dare to kill the officials of the imperial court......"

"Alright, alright, shut up! Just because you still want to think about us, and besides, we haven't done anything to you yet, at most, we will ask you for questioning without your consent, where is it called the cruelty of the court officials? ”

"You still don't know the crime, the county lord was killed by you?"

"County master? What did we kill him, he said that there was a female ghost on the mountain, and told us to catch the ghost, we went, and then rested for a while in his county office and left, where did we kill him or something? He said that his father's heart was dug up by a female ghost, and we found it back for him, and he said that it was not that one, and then he went up the mountain to find it, and we had already left the town when he was on the mountain, how could we kill him? I think you're crazy, aren't you? ”

Liu Shoucai made the leader of the officers and soldiers also puzzled, because Liu Shoucai and they were already far away from that town now, and it was impossible to kill the county lord at this speed, and why did the county master take the position as soon as the county lord died.

And then the concubine next to the master turned out to be the concubine of the dead county lord, all kinds of reasons pointed to the master and the concubine, even if the leader of the officers and soldiers was an idiot, he also thought of the key to this, but it was impossible for him to mess up in front of Liu Shoucai now.

"If you really didn't kill the county master, then why did you run away when you saw us?"

"Nonsense, you officers and soldiers arrest people, how can we not run away when we see it, and we haven't done anything bad, you just arrest us, of course we think you have bad intentions, who is stupid and is still waiting for you to arrest you, go and ask the people in the village, if they are arrested inexplicably, do you say they can stand in place and wait for you to arrest?"

Liu Shoucai looked like you were an idiot, the face of the leader of the officers and soldiers was crimson, he was a little embarrassed by what Liu Shoucai said, in fact, when he sent someone to track him, he also had doubts, but because he was too anxious at the time and didn't think much about it, it caused so many misunderstandings.

"I'm really sorry, we didn't investigate clearly, but as soon as we heard that the county master was killed, we were in a hurry, so we tracked down the master, so let's do it! Since you didn't kill the county master, master, why don't you go back with us and be a witness? ”

"Witnesses? Do you know who killed the county lord? ”

"I'm not very sure, but I suspect it has something to do with the current county lord and concubine."

"The current county lord and concubine? Why is that? ”

Liu Shoucai looked puzzled, he didn't know that the current county lord was the former master, and he didn't know that the concubine of the current county lord was the concubine of the previous county lord.

"The current county lord is the master of the former county lord who was brutalized, and he is also the most trusted person of the county lord, and the current concubine of the master is the concubine of the former county lord, and now the two of them are together, and the master is also on the throne, which makes people suspicious, besides, it is also from the mouth of the two of them that you killed the county lord, I think they want to put the sin on you, and want you to be a substitute for the dead."

"Damn, I didn't expect the two of them to dare to have such guts, my lord, you know, we are all so far away from that town, how can we run so fast after killing adults? Moreover, after the county lord took people up the mountain, we left the town directly, and there were still people in the residents near the city gate who saw us, and they could all testify to us. ”

"It seems that the official was blinded by those two people, so, master, you go back with me, I will help you clear your grievances, and those two officials will not let them have a good time."

The anger on the face of the leader of the officers and soldiers must have been because he thought that he had been tricked and even behaved in such a ridiculous manner, so he was unwilling!

"Since the adults are willing to help us clear our grievances, then we will go with the adults."

Liu Shoucai also knew that it was not a way for them to escape like this, and now there was a way to wash away their grievances, how could he let it go, and he also wanted to meet that master and the Fang family, the Fang family and the master were too much, and they even planted the charge of murder on themselves, Liu Shoucai was not so kind to let those two people go.

Under the persuasion of the leaders of the officers and soldiers, Liu Shoucai and his group went back, and after returning to the town, Liu Shoucai asked the leaders of the officers and soldiers to find the witnesses who had left him at that time.

"Master, I really wronged you this time, when I solve those two guys, I will definitely invite you to drink, I know that there is a restaurant in this town that is very good."

The leader of the officers and soldiers was not a person with any eyes, but was very sincere, so he immediately made Liu Shoucai have a good impression, so Liu Shoucai also agreed to his request.

"Then we won't get drunk and won't go home."

"Okay, don't get drunk and don't go home."

The two came to the yamen with a smile, and when those people saw Liu Shoucai, they immediately surrounded him, of course, Guigusong and they did not escape the fate of being surrounded.

"Presumptuous, give it to General Ben to step down."

"General Dou, they are all criminals, don't be careless."

"Criminals? Why don't I know that they are criminals, so call your county lord and his current concubine over, I want to see who the real criminals are. ”

Liu Shoucai didn't expect that the leader of the officers and soldiers turned out to be a general, and looking at the momentum, it was obviously much bigger than the official position of the county lord, otherwise how could he put on such a posture, which made Liu Shoucai immediately look at the general Dou a few more times.

"Master, please inside."

General Dou was already familiar with Liu Shoucai along the way, and naturally he also saw Liu Shoucai's character, like Liu Shoucai, these people would definitely not kill the county master, so he also knew that there were other reasons for this, so he also planned to avenge Liu Shoucai and them.

Soon the county lord and the Fang clan were brought over, and when they saw Liu Shoucai and Guigu Song, they immediately pretended to grit their teeth.

"You murderers, you dare to stand there without any scruples, and you don't kneel down for your own officials."

"Presumptuous, General Ben is here, but there is a reason for your county lord to shout here?"

"Yo, General Dou, I'm really sorry, the lower official is out of control because he saw the murderer of the previous county master, and I hope the general will forgive me."

"Humph! When did you see Master Liu kill the former county master? General Ben has already asked someone just now, but you and the Fang clan were the first to find out that the county lord was dead, and those who were guarding outside the county lord's room before said that the county lord only returned home after Master Liu and they left the town, and the body was the first to be discovered by the two of you, so you can explain this first! Master Liu, they are no longer in the town, how can they kill the county master? ”

"This ...... General, don't be deceived by them, maybe they turned around and came back and killed the county lord again? ”

"Humph! I see that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin, come and pass witnesses. ”

Soon the official brought over the witness who had seen Liu Shoucai and his gang leave, and as soon as the man came, he told General Dou and the others present what he had seen, and swore that after Liu Shoucai and the others left, they would not return with General Dou until today.

"General Ben found Master Liu in Shili Pavilion, how far away is Shili Pavilion from here, no need for General Ben to say, presumably you know it well, county master! If Master Liu and the others really came back again, then why didn't the people who opened the city gate see it? And how could people who live nearby not see it? It's just one way into the city, is it possible that they can still fly all the way in? ”

General Dou's words made the county lord and the Fang clan extremely nervous, they were afraid that General Dou would put the crime of murder on them at this time, after all, the two of them were the first to find out that the county lord had died tragically, and they had known that things would evolve to such a point, so they would not have asked anyone to arrest Liu Shoucai and them at the beginning.

"Alas! O General! Xia Guan was also confused at the beginning, so he mistakenly thought that Master Liu had killed the adult, and the adult also called Xia Guan to arrest Master Liu and them. ”

"Oh? Why is that? Why did you adults call for someone to arrest Master Liu and them? ”

"Because the adults said that Lord Liu stole the dragon and the phoenix and stole his father's heart, so he was arrested."

"Is that so, Master Liu?"

Although General Dou didn't believe the county lord's words, he still turned his head and asked Liu Shoucai, hoping that Liu Shoucai could give him an explanation.

"The general has been wronged! At that time, when we were catching ghosts in the mountains, we saw a box on the table, and when we opened it, we saw the heart in the box, and then we planned to bring it back and ask whose family was killed's heart, who knew that as soon as we got it back, the county lord said that it was his father's, and we returned it to him directly. And it's not the hearts of our loved ones. ”

Liu Shoucai's face was sincere, and General Dou also believed it, so he immediately looked at the county lord and the Fang clan again.

"The heart of your county lord's father? In other words, when your county lord's father was buried, General Ben was present, where did he see his father having his heart gouged out? And his father has been dead for so many years, even if his heart was dug up later, it is impossible to save it until now, it has long turned into a puddle of rotten water, do you really think that General Ben is a three-year-old child? Come on, why did your county lord ask someone to arrest Master Liu? ”

General Dou's face was so ruthless that the county lord was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he knelt directly on the ground.

"O General! What the lower officials said is the truth, if you don't believe it, you can ask these officials present, they were all there at the beginning. ”

With the county lord's weakness, General Dou also knew that he couldn't scare him anymore, lest he be scared to death, and he would be in some trouble at that time.

"What your county lord said is true?"

"Yes, General, we were all present at the beginning, and the county lord at that time did say so."

"It seems that your county lord is doing the trick, but he is dead, and it is not easy to investigate, but except for that matter, county lord, can you be guilty yourself?"

"Next...... The subordinate does not know what crime he has committed? ”

The county lord already knew that General Dou didn't care about why he arrested Master Liu, but as soon as he heard General Dou say that he had committed a crime, he immediately became puzzled.

"Humph! I don't know the crime, I said, why is the concubine of the former county lord now your concubine, and she is still building a house outside the government to raise it there, you are secretly Chen Cang's trick, so you can wait for the former county lord to pass the first seven! Why can't you wait now? ”

General Dou looked angry, although he didn't have much friendship with the former county lord, but he was a year-old friend with the father of the former county lord, and naturally took some care of the former county lord, and now the concubine of the former county lord cuckolded him, and General Dou was naturally angry.

"This ...... General, she seduced her, and she also saw that she was pitiful, so she built a house for her, who knew that this woman had been pestering the lower officials, and the lower officials were wronged......"

"The surname is Ma, what nonsense are you talking about, you seduced me, when the master was still there, you often used your hands and feet against me, if you hadn't been threatened by you, where would I be good ......with you"

The county lord and the Fang clan both shirked each other's responsibilities, and at this time, General Dou couldn't wait to correct the two of them on the spot at the same time, but the county lord was famous, so it was impossible for him to do it now.

"Presumptuous, above the public court, you two are like shrews, what kind of system, come here, give the prefect a fold, remove the county lord from the duties of the county official, and choose someone else to take office, Fang's family will be put in prison, waiting for the fate, and take them all down."

"Mighty ......"

With the shouts of the officials, the county lord and the Fang family were taken down in the cry, and Liu Shoucai's grievances were also washed away, although Liu Shoucai was not much happy about this, but he also saw that General Dou was a good person, so from this aspect, Liu Shoucai also planned to make a good friend of General Dou.

After all, in this era, Liu Shoucai didn't have any friends, and now that he has one more friend, he is also very happy.

"General Dou, thank you very much this time."

"What's polite, avenge the people, this is also the duty of this general, and it is also you who have been wronged by those officials below this general, and this general naturally has the responsibility to get rid of them."

"The general is really generous, ordinary people will protect their own people, and only the general will protect us ordinary people."

"Alas! It's a pity that there are not many officials who protect the common people! Otherwise, General Ben wouldn't be so tired, in fact, General Ben has been excluded in the court, which is why General Ben doesn't like to go back, General Ben would rather be adrift outside all the time. ”

General Dou's face became sad as he spoke, Liu Shoucai also knew why General Dou was in the suburbs at this time, it turned out that it was because General Dou didn't like to go back to be an official, so he was hanging outside, and it was precisely because of this that they knew each other.

"General, in fact, your fortune is behind, although it is said that there are a lot of moths in the court now, but it won't be long before those moths will be swept away."

"Master, could it be that you really can't see each other?"

General Dou is very distrustful of ghost hunting, he has never seen ghosts, and naturally he does not believe in ghosts, he thinks that it is just a ghost in people's hearts, and Liu Shoucai's identity as a strange man in the rivers and lakes, General Dou does not believe much, but he is very concerned about Liu Shoucai's personality.

"General, don't believe it, or I'll help you read a hexagram first, believe it or not, you also have a bottom in your heart, and I don't want you to do anything anyway, and you won't suffer."

"Okay, you can do it!"

General Dou didn't care, anyway, regardless of whether Liu Shoucai was a charlatan or not, General Dou planned to make this friend, because Liu Shoucai was very good at talking to him, and General Dou was always very upright, so he didn't have too many friends, so he naturally cared about Liu Shoucai's friend.

Liu Shoucai sat aside, and after looking at General Dou's palmistry and face, he told General Dou all the things from childhood to adulthood, and also calculated all the things in General Dou's family, which made General Dou immediately feel magical.
