Chapter 442: The Lin'an Case (I)

The night is quiet and the night breeze is gentle.

Li Qing spread his two bone wings and hung over the dead forest, waiting for the land lord while looking around.

After he rejected the land lord's proposal before, the land lord thought of another way, wanting to take him to find a place with sufficient spiritual energy in the Jinhua area.

It's just that the flying speed of the land lord is really not flattering.

Li Qing didn't even blink an eye, so he turned into a black light and rushed into the sky, but the land lord hadn't summoned the clouds yet.

And while he was waiting for the land lord, a shocking case occurred in the Lin'an area......

In the entire Lin'an realm, all the babies who had just completed the moon were swept away by a sudden black wind at the beginning of the night.

There are more than 400 missing babies!

Therefore, at this time when it was supposed to sleep, the entire Lin'an area was brilliantly lit!

Hundreds of people came to the county government with torches in their hands, wailing and crying, and stood on a street in the dark.

But when they came to the county office and saw the quiet and solemn county office, they suddenly all fell silent.

As the saying goes: The yamen is open to the south, and there is no reason to come in if you have no money.

The county magistrate of Lin'an County has taken this sentence to the limit.

In recent years, more than 300 poor civilians who beat the drum of injustice but had no money to hand over to the county magistrate were beaten to death in the court!

Moreover, about three months ago, there was a beggar who was asleep leaning against the vermilion gate of the yamen, because he made a snoring sound, he was dragged in by the county magistrate and broke his bones, and then threw him in a corner outside the county office, and sent someone to handle it, and no one was allowed to feed him and throw money.

Within a few days, the beggar died of thirst outside the county office.

This is the county magistrate's method of 'killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys'.

He wanted to let people know that no one was allowed to make noise while he slept.

Therefore, although these people have great grievances, they can only endure the sadness in their hearts, stand quietly outside the county government, and dare not even make a sound.

At first glance, the women turned white and covered their mouths and wept. The men's eyes were red and their bodies tense.

At this moment, a burly man with a large knife walked out of the crowd.

After the man squeezed out of the crowd, stepped up the steps, and stood under the drum, he viciously glanced at the crowd below who did not dare to make any sound.

Then he took a deep breath, stuck the long knife in his hand on the left side of his belt, and picked up the brand new drumstick from the drum rack.

"Boom!"

"Knock, knock, knock, knock......."

Suddenly, one drum after another resounded throughout the county office.

About a dozen minutes later, an angry priest came to the vermilion gate with a knife.

"Squeak-"

As the door was opened, the yacha walked out with a knife, and just as he stepped out of his legs and walked to the drum of grievances, ready to slash the man to death, he stopped his arm stiffly, and then looked down in amazement, and the black man with the torch pressed the crowd.

After a moment of sluggishness, he screamed in horror, 'My mother', and then crawled back to the county office.

After slamming the door shut, he ran towards the inner courtyard, shouting all the way.

"Sir!"

"Sir!"

"Master, wake up!"

In the wing room, the county magistrate, who was sleeping with the concubine in the seventh room of Gangna, was suddenly awakened. Then he was furious and put on a coat and walked out of the wing.

I saw that the yacha who was keeping vigil was running back and forth in the courtyard with a panicked face, and in the blink of an eye, all the yacha who slept in the county yacha came out wearing shorts and rubbing their eyes.

The county lord stared at the moment, raised his hand and pointed at the yacha, and scolded: "Come on, arrest Wang Er for this master!"

At the sound of the order, many yacha, who were already angry because they were woken up in the middle of the night, immediately rushed up and knocked the yelling yacha to the ground.

The county master's face was pale, and he walked to Wang Er's side, gritted his teeth and said coldly: "You'd better explain tonight's matter to Master Ben, otherwise, the dead mud leg at the yamen will be your fate!"

Under these words, Wang Er's face suddenly turned pale, and then he trembled his lips and said, "Old ...... Master, it's not good, it's not good....... There was a large crowd of people standing densely at the entrance of the yamen! They were holding torches, as if they were going to burn us to death!"

"What? Tell Ben again???

The county lord's eyes widened suddenly.

When Wang Er repeated this passage again, the county magistrate's legs suddenly weakened, and if it weren't for the support of the master beside him, he would probably sit on the ground.

After taking a deep breath, the county magistrate, whose body was trembling, said, "Hurry up...... Let's go and see ....... personally."

A group of yamen sent you to look at me, and I looked at you, but no one moved.

After seeing this scene, the county master gritted his teeth and said, "Master Ben rewarded him with one hundred taels of silver!"

In the moment when the words fell, a group of yacha swarmed away in shorts regardless of their own image, and you chased me to the gate of the county ya.

.......

After a stick of incense, the county magistrate was dressed in official clothes, leaned lazily on the chair, put his feet on the table, and said slowly with sleepiness: "You said that the child was swept away by a black wind?

After hearing this, the man who had beaten the drum before replied, "I haven't seen it!"

Before he finished speaking, the county magistrate sat up straight.

"Bang!"

After smashing the startling wood down, he glared angrily and shouted: "Since you haven't seen it, then there is no witness! If there is no witness, it is a false accusation! Come on, drive this group of people out of the yamen with sticks!"

As soon as the words fell, he slammed down the shocking wood again.

"Bang!"

"Quit!"

With that, he stood up and prepared to leave.

But before he could take two steps, there was a sudden 'whoosh' sound from the county office.

Then I saw a long sword flying in from outside the county office, and it was inserted on the table next to the county master with a "bang".

Immediately afterwards, a figure kept turning its head in the air and fell into the county office.

At first glance, I saw that the person who came was a man with a full beard and a cloth shirt.

As soon as the man landed, he raised his hand and pointed at the county master, glared at his eyes and shouted: "What a dumb official, what thousands of people have seen with their own eyes has become no witness in your mouth, how can you be worthy of today?"

The county magistrate leaned against the wall with weak legs, his face stiffened, and then forcibly squeezed out a smile and said: "Good sweat spare life, good sweat spare life, this old man ...... This official is just a mortal, but the black wind is not a monster, even if this official wants to manage it, he can't manage it!"

When the man heard this, he sneered and said: "You dog official, if you use this skillful and eloquent kung fu to the people of Limin, how can this Lin'an County become a miasma of smoke and ghosts!"

When the county magistrate heard this, he smiled in panic and said: "What the good Khan said is very true, what he said is extremely true!"

Under his words, the man suddenly stepped forward and pulled up the official uniform on his chest, and said coldly: "I heard that you have been unjustly beaten and imprisoned hundreds of people? I now order you to release all of them!"

The county lord's face turned pale, and his body trembled even more.

Although the master on the side was also afraid, under this sentence, he said, "You...... You ...... fool" As soon as he opened his mouth, he was glared at viciously by the man. In the panic in his heart, the master instantly changed his words: "........ Hero, what qualifications do you have to order the county magistrate! Do you still have a king law in your eyes? Do you have a son today?"

When the man heard this, he glared at him coldly, and then took out a dirty oval iron plate from his arms and threw it to the master.

The master hurriedly took the sign, and then looked down.

In an instant, his expression was stunned, and then his lips trembled, and he slowly read out the three words branded on the sign word by word.

"Swallow...... Swallow, Chixia ......"
