Chapter Forty-Eight: The County Master is Here

The few juniors with bows and arrows only cared about watching the play, and they all stood there with bows on their posts, forgetting that they were also part of the play. Now, Niu Er shouted to release the arrow, only to remember that there was still his own business here, and he hurriedly pulled the bow and arrows to wind.

Seeing that the lives of the five Feng'er people were in danger.

Suddenly, the little road boy came running and shouted as he ran:

"The county master is here!"

As soon as they heard that the county magistrate was coming, the juniors panicked and threw the bows, arrows, knives and forks in their hands into the distance.

Niu Er was stunned, and looked into the distance to see a few catchers coming in a hurry. If you take a closer look, you can't help but feel overjoyed. Shouted:

"Don't be afraid, my second cousin is here!"

The leader looks like a catcher, in his thirties, with horizontal eyebrows and leopard eyes, and walks slightly to the right.

Niu Er shouted: "Second cousin, this little thing is still hard for you to come in person!"

The head catcher looked at people as nothing, walked straight up to Niu Er and asked, "What's wrong?"

Niu Er said: "The flower child who was tied up deliberately set fire, and the two flower children next to him were flower thieves who had killed people." ”

The catcher shouted: "That's right, there's no king's law!

When the officials heard the order, they rushed over, and couldn't help but say that they had put Ah Niu and Du Ling in chains.

Niu Er said: "Fortunately, the second cousin arrived in time, and we are worried that we can't deal with it." ”

The catcher snorted and said:

"Kill to pay for your life, pay for debts. Just send them on the road as soon as possible, this little thing can't be handled, and now that the master is here, it's a lot of trouble for the officials to find more!"

Niu Er said: "If it weren't for the Ninth Master to stop me, I would have sent them to the West Heaven long ago." Oh, that's the Ninth Master. ”

The catcher turned around and gave a slight salute.

"Under is the county's head catcher Ma Liu, and Niu Er is the old table. ”

The ninth master hurriedly said: "I have admired the name for a long time, like thunder, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." ”

Ma Liudao: "There is such a big thing in the village, and we can't tolerate the kindness of a woman who raises adultery. Now passive. ”

The ninth master said: "What Ma Zhutou taught is that it's just that the little old man feels that a few flowers are a little wronged. ”

Ma Liu's eyes were round and he was about to say something, when he suddenly heard a shout behind him:

"The county master is here!

Next to the ancestral hall, there was a small sedan chair, and more than a dozen officials stood on both sides.

The Ninth Master didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly walked towards the small sedan chair, and Daoist Li limped over.

I thought that the county magistrate would be relieved when he came, but I didn't expect to be shackled. Ah Niu says:

"I thought there was a big man in the sky, but I didn't expect it to be a nest of snakes and rats. Where is the way of reasoning in this world!"

Ma Liu, who was standing next to him, heard Ah Niu say this, and shouted: "Palm mouth!"

Reached out and gave Ah Niu a slap.

Ziwei said: "Public affairs pay attention to procedures, you should wait patiently and don't talk nonsense." ”

After a while, the county magistrate asked what had happened, got off the sedan chair and came to everyone. When he saw Feng'er and Ah Niu, he couldn't help but be stunned.

The county magistrate asked, "Who is Niu Er?"

Niu Er hurriedly stepped forward and knocked and said, "Grass people Niu Er knock to see the master!"

The magistrate said, "Get up and talk back." Did you see this flower arson with your own eyes?"

Niu Er got up and replied, "It's not that the grass people saw it with their own eyes. But there were no outsiders on the scene except for this Hanako. ”

Ziwei never dared to look at the county official's face out of courtesy, and the voice of the county official was a little familiar, and there was a sense of déjà vu. I couldn't help but look up, and I was really surprised by this look.

Ziwei whispered: "Look at Feng'er, it's Lord Yang!"

Feng'er heard that it was Lord Yang, and her spirit was also lifted, and she opened her closed eyes and looked at it, it was really Lord Yang Shuyang.

Ah Niu smiled: "God has opened his eyes, and sure enough, there is a Qingtian master!"

I only heard Lord Yang ask Niu Er again:

"According to what you said, the fire was set by the flowers, what was his motive for setting the fire? Why didn't he run away after setting the fire, but instead helped put out the fire, and when the fire was extinguished, he sat down and waited for you to catch it?"

Niu Er said: "At first, the grass people thought that this flower seed was just setting fire, and then put out the fire to please the villagers, in order to beg for more food. Now it seems that the problem is not so simple, he is currying favor with the villagers while covering his accomplices to pick flowers, which is really a great crime!"

Lord Yang sneered and said:

"Your intellect is truly beyond that of mortals! Who are the accomplices of the flowers you are talking about?"

Niu Er pointed at Ziwei and said:

"These two sons are talented, with a servant, and those two flowers. ”

Lord Yang said, "Okay! You see that this servant is so old, does he look like a flower thief?"

Niu Er looked at Liang Fu, shook his head, and said:

"This guy is clumsy and not like. ”

Lord Yang pointed at Ziwei and asked:

"What do you think of this son?"

Niu Er said: "Master, you are really joking, you are a rich son, you shouldn't be so dirty, right?"

Lord Yang said: "Since even you think that he is not so dirty, this county will tell you what I know." This son has been studying in Yancheng with his father since he was a child, and he is reasonable, distinguishes between right and wrong, and will not be ignorant of good and evil. Now that he has reached the age of entering the body, he will return to Beijing to join his relatives in the military department to seek fame, and he will definitely not ruin his good future because of this thing of rats and dogs. ”

Niu Er nodded and said, "Yes."

Lord Yang pointed at Yao Xiucai again and asked:

"How suspicious do you think this show is?"

Niu Er said: "Read the book of Confucius and Mencius, and know the public rites of Zhou." Scholars don't do that. ”

Lord Yang said: "You also know that reading Confucius and Mencius and knowing Zhou Gongli, a weak scholar like him, who has no power to tie his hands, has traveled thousands of miles to Beijing to catch the exam." Yesterday, I also looked through the case of co-arrest in a neighboring county, and learned that a few days ago in Fuyun Temple, the scholar and his servant were killed by evil monks, and he himself was fortunate enough to escape death. ”

Lord Yang pointed at Ah Niu and asked:

"Do you think it's this little flower?"

Before Niu Er could speak, Daoist Li said:

"County Master, Poor Dao Yuan vouched for his life, and the five of them never took half a step out of the Dao Temple last night!"

The little Taoist priest Qing'er also said: "I am also willing to guarantee with my life! Last night he slept next to me, he slept and talked in his sleep, and kicked me up several times in one night. ”

The Taoist master and apprentice are willing to vouch for their lives, Niu Er is speechless, and now the only one who can stick to it is Du Ling.

Niu Er thought for a while and exclaimed:

"Master, I remembered, I was a little thirsty during the firefighting last night, and it was this little flower that I met when I went home to drink water!"

He pointed at Du Ling, and his tone was extremely firm.

Lord Yang was also quite surprised, pointed at Du Ling and asked:

"You say she's the flower thief?"

Niu Er said: "Yes! When I met him last night, I interrogated him a few times, and he ran away without saying anything. ”

Lord Yang asked again, "Are you sure you are right?"

Niu Er said: "The grass people dare to guarantee their lives, absolutely not mistaken! ”

Lord Yang laughed.

"Come on, bring those two flowers!"

The officials took Ah Niu and Du Ling, and Lord Yang ordered them to be shackled.

Lord Yang whispered in the ear of the ninth master for a while, and then said to Du Ling:

"You go with the Ninth Master and come back to see me later. ”

The Ninth Master led Du Ling towards home.

Lord Yang said: "Whether the flower thief is this flower or not, we will know later." ”
