Although the sparrow is small, the county government is like this, the ritual system imitates three provinces and six departments, Bishan County has three doors and six rooms, the soap door in the three doors is the place where the officials gather together, the soap officials soap officials, it comes from here, as for the patrol door to catch the door, now the root of the Beiliang brocade clothes is in the patrol door, and the catch door is fast, easy to understand, the three-year-old child in the alley of the market also knows, as for the six room duties, as far as Bishan County is concerned, the county order Feng Qian monopolized the four rooms of the official household and the punishment, leaving only the county Cheng Zuojing a virtual ceremonial room, the county lieutenant Bai Shangyun also got a lot of oil and water in the military room, as for the three doors, Feng Qian is even more into his arms, regarded as a forbidden belly, especially the soap door, but only Feng County ordered the horse to look forward, especially embarrassed Zuo Jing, in fact, Xu Fengnian, the main man, was originally supposed to hold the soap door, but Feng Qian even suppressed and excluded Zuo Jing in the county mercilessly, where would he take into account the face of "Xu Qi", but Xu Fengnian's mind was originally on observing the operation of a county yamen, as for whether he, a half-master, had authority or not, it didn't matter.

Although he, the master of the unsuccessful climate, has no intention of fighting for power and profit, but he has nothing to do, he will still wander around the three doors and six rooms of the county government, and there are more than a dozen criminals in the prison room, three religions and nine streams, mixed with fish and dragons, there are old men who are unable to support the elderly and deliberately cause trouble to come in and eat, there are traffickers who abduct and sell people, there are young and strong ruffians who fight and provoke, and there are also the lowest flower thieves who steal women's belly pockets and send them to prison, but among more than a dozen people, there is only one old man with a sixtieth armor who is handcuffed and shackled, the shackles are big shackles, and the locks are heavy locks, which together weigh 34 pounds。 Xu Fengnian deliberately flipped through the prison litigation files of the torture room, but he couldn't find the slightest clue, and then he invited the head of the torture room to drink, and finally came out with words, only to know that the old man's surname was Shen, and he was a Jiangyang thief who was famous in Hezhou, as if he was doing a big deal that lost his head, and the spoils were unevenly distributed after he succeeded, eyes twinkle.

Xu Fengnian had nothing to do anyway, he came to the prison to stay at the end of three days, carrying a pot of green ant wine, carrying some bits and pieces of sauce and meat to eat, moving a chair to sit in the middle of the aisle, and chatting with the guys who had been imprisoned on both sides。

Every time the thin old guy barely opened his eyelids, there was a sad sneer on the corner of his mouth, and he looked at the young master who was sitting outside the prison, as if he could free his hand, and with one hand he could pull the head off his shoulder. Whenever this happens, the only middle-aged man in Bishan County who is a felon, next door to the prison, is a little worried to hide as much as possible, the man's surname is Wang, a farmer who looks very honest and responsible, as if he has annoyed the big clan in Bishan County, and was picked up and bankrupt, not to mention, and thrown into the cell, in the past six months, the children of the big clan have come twice, and they sneered at each time, and threatened to the extreme that they would definitely help feed the man's wife and daughter, that is, some prisoners in prison, and they also felt that this guy was too miserable, and it was better to die head-on, and the enemy family enjoyed the mother and daughter flowers outsideNo wonder you have a pair of splayed eyebrows with drooping eyebrows, and it looks like a life of suffering and sin.

Today, Xu Fengnian sat in the cell and chatted with those prisoners, he just received Yulu yesterday, and most of it was confiscated by Pei Nanwei, I don't know where to hide, only some trivial silver remained, saying that it was the wine money for January, and he looked at it. However, now feng shui takes turns, after Feng Qian divided the power to give the master a workshop, most of the county Cheng Zuo Jing invited Xu Fengnian to drink, so Xu Fengnian is not as poor as before, but Bishan County's workshop in charge of Tuntian water conservancy can only fish some meat on the legs of mosquitoes, which is not worth mentioning, the important thing is that Feng County took the initiative to show favor to the master Bo for the first time, so that the county officials and miscellaneous servants all looked down on the master Bo, but Zuo Jing was drinking at a time, intentionally or unintentionally mentioning Xu Zhubo who was kept in the dark, and he was careful to lure the wolf into the room. Xu Fengnian pretended to be confused, Zuo Jing thought that this kid was obsessed, so he waited to see the joke.

Xu Fengnian brought two jailers who were already familiar with each other, and the three of them drank wine with cooked meat, if there were prisoners who were greedy, they also asked the jailers to send some wine and meat, and waited until a boy in brocade clothes covered his nose with a sachet and walked into the cell, it was inevitable that he was a little surprised, there were three people drinking and eating meat in the aisle, and most of the prisoners were sitting on the edge of the prison fence near the corridor, everyone laughed and laughed, and the meat talk was continuous, Brother Gongzi frowned, Xu Fengnian picked up a wine glass, wiped it with the cuffs, raised the glass with a smile, and asked if he wanted to take a bite of green ants, and then pointed to the prisoner surnamed Wang, Xu Fengnian smiled knowingly and nodded. The young man walked straight to the outside of the prison where the farmer was, and was about to speak, sprinkling salt on the guy's wound, there were four sturdy prisoners with two prisoners of great age, the older thief eyebrows, the younger ones were ragged, but he had a pair of heroic sword eyebrows, so that even if his face was full of dirt, people couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and he only felt incompatible with this big prison, but his pace was a little slow, so he punched the catcher on the back, one stumbled, and almost fell to the ground, and the older accomplice hurriedly helped him, giving a few fast catchers a smile。 Xu Fengnian smiled and asked, "What happened?"

The four arresters got closer to the county commander Feng Qian County Lieutenant Bai Shangyun, and they have never paid attention to this lord Bo, but they have more or less accumulated some human feelings and sophistication in the officialdom, and they are the first to catch the fast leader, squeezing out a lukewarm smile and said: "Lord Bo, they are two thieves who are not in the stream, the thieves are bold, they steal things and steal them into Mrs. Zhu's house, and they are not killed on the spot, which is considered a blessing accumulated in their lives." ”

After finishing speaking, the catcher quickly approached the boy who covered the stench of the prison with a sachet, and said with a smile and a humble face: "Isn't this the Song Gongzi of the county town, Peng Sheng is shining and Peng Sheng is shining, although Song Gongzi can rest assured, that is not a long-eyed goods, the brothers will entertain him as soon as they are free, and it is better to keep him alive than dead......

The feminine brother took out a brocade money bag, threw it to the leader of the fast catcher, and said softly: "Don't really kill it, it's not a big deal, it's trouble, this son is not afraid of things, only trouble." ”

The catcher who made a windfall said with a smile: "The brothers have a number, every time they beat him, they put two or three layers of cotton cloth, and they can't see any scars, they are all internal injuries." ”

Brother Gongzi looked around, and his gaze fell on the man surnamed Wang, stretched out his finger, and said with a smile: "These two thieves, or they will be thrown here." ”

Catch Kuai said without hesitation: "What's so difficult about this." ”

Brother Gongzi turned his head to look at the two thieves, and said with a smile: "After you go in, take care of the old guest, take care of it, and take care of it, naturally you will have a lot of wine and meat." ”

The old thief with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks swallowed his saliva, glanced at the small wine table of Lord Bo, and asked timidly: "This master, can we owe a few sips of wine on credit first, the little one will definitely live in it, and it will be close to the old acquaintance of the son." ”

Brother Gongzi looked at Xu Fengnian, in his opinion, this kind of trivial matter, a county lord, will not and dare not refuse. Even if it is a foreigner who has just taken up a new post in Bishan County, he should know the name of the Song clan in Rouge County. It's just that he quickly raised his eyebrows, and a gloomy anger floated between his eyebrows, and the young master Bo actually stretched out his hand and gently covered the wine glass, making it clear that he would not give him face! The old thief, who most of the people who couldn't drink wine, saw this scene and secretly enjoyed it, since he inadvertently fanned the flames once, and let an official and a big man have a gap, it is not worse than drinking happily. Song Gongzi sniffed the faint fragrance of the sachet crumbs, and smiled gloomily, "Okay, I didn't expect that there would be a character in Bishan County who Song Yu asked me to move, and I understood." ”

The middle-aged man surnamed Wang, who had never talked to Xu Fengnian before, raised his head and smiled gratefully at this master who "didn't know the purpose of officialdom" at all.

Song Yu, a disciple of the Song family of Rouge County, walked straight out of the cell, and quickly pushed the two thieves into the prison bar, and also strode away.

Xu Zhubo, who inadvertently made enemies, stood up and was about to leave the cell, when the old man who was in a flail suddenly grinned and said: "The boy surnamed Xu, you are an interesting official, Lao Tzu drank a few glasses of wine from you, don't be dirty, come, bring wine to Lao Tzu." ”

Xu Fengnian was indifferent, walked out of the cell, and left all the wine and meat to the jailer.

The old guy cursed on his lips, but his eyes met those of the two new neighbors, and each nodded.

It was a starry night, Xu Fengnian was on duty in the workshop, and the workshop and the torture room were in the same row but in different rows, and they were further back, but they were not far from the prison. Don't look at Bishan County is a non-worth mentioning lower county, but there are many good hands in patrolling and arresting the door and the miscellaneous servants in the torture room, because Bishan County has a large jurisdiction, there are many rights and wrongs, and the number of yamen is so small, there is no real ability to squat in the thatched pit, this thatched pit has long been tossed by those bad people, and the former officials of the county government are still quite skilled, if the cases of murder and arson are piled up too much, it is not a trivial matter that can not be passed on the face. Xu Fengnian was alone in the workshop, he suddenly stood up, poured a glass of wine, walked out of the room with wine, and "coincidentally" bumped into four people swaggering out of the cell, all wearing ill-fitting jailer clothes, looking a little funny, Xu Fengnian "looked dazed" Stunned on the spot, just about to speak, he gave the old man who took off the shackles of the felony walked fast like thunder, smashed a fist on the forehead, Lord Bo flew out of the ground upside down, before falling to the ground, and then to the sudden bandit stride meteor to catch up, raise his feet on his back, lightly unload the strength, Lord Bo's body quietly landed, silent, the old man's dry ten fingers staggered twisting, hehe smiled: "I haven't moved my muscles and bones for a long time, I couldn't help it all of a sudden, and I almost missed the big event of the golden cicada coming out of the shell." ”

Behind the old man, there were two thieves among the three people, as well as the miserable farmer surnamed Wang, the latter saw this scene, a little unbearable, the first two looked indifferent, among the young people stepped forward, glanced at the lord of Bishan County who was lying on the ground, and said softly: "Senior Shen, this person has an official body, you might as well take him away as a hostage, the night patrol of Bishan County has always been rigorous, more tricky, if there is a mistake halfway, you can also have a talisman, wait until you enter the mountain, and then kill it." ”

The old man thought for a while, beckoned to the farmer, and said: "Wang Shiwei, you still have some strength, carry this person on your back and enter the mountain with the old man, and in the future, you will find the Song family disciple to take revenge, it will be easy." ”

The farmer with a bitter face all the year round was silent, and picked up Master Xu.

The four of them plus a master who was knocked unconscious, familiar with the way, the young man who robbed the prison opened the way, stopped and hid when he encountered the sound, he really couldn't hide, so he jumped on the wall, and he made a light effort, but Wang Shiwei had a few catties of brute force, not to mention martial arts, they were all gently grabbed by the old man surnamed Shen, and he was carried on the wall two or three feet high, which is probably the so-called cornice wall of ordinary people. A group of people left the county government without danger, Bishan County has no deep trenches and high walls, and there was no team of patrol soldiers tonight, so easy and comfortable to escape, in a secluded path, there are three black-clothed people to answer, with three unridden horses, the old man tiptoes, he fell on the horseback, there are no outsiders around, laughed loudly: "Liu Yu, you and Wang Shiwei ride together, by the way, slaughter the master thin, throw the corpse in the wilderness, just as the old man left Bishan County a parting gift!"

The farmer plucked up his courage and said, "This lord is not bad, is the old man merciful?"

The old man sneered and said: "Is it a good person, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, it's hard to say, but since you are a good official, you should be damned! Wang Shiwei, where did you get the kindness of a woman, dogs can't change eating shit! You deserve your wife and daughter to be humiliated and bullied by the powerless children of the big clan, and if you are replaced by an old man, even if you don't have this style, you can slaughter the sissy with the sachet today!"

The man was silent, and when he saw the young man who was called Liu Yu by the old-timers coming, he gritted his teeth, moved his steps, and took a few steps back, as if he had made up his mind to protect the life of the young official on his back.

The old man saw it in his eyes, frowned, and said: "Wang Shiwei, the old man took you out of prison easily, because you are also a poor person, don't get an inch, the old man's temper is indeed thousands of times better than when he was young, but the nickname given by his peers in the rivers and lakes is still there." If you don't let go of that master, Liu Yu will kill you together, and the old man won't care. What's more, if you want to find a place to sit down in the fairy coffin cave, you have to kill someone as a vote, and the old man will give you a chance to either accompany the bullshit master Bo to go down to the Yellow Spring together, or personally slaughter the kid behind you. Otherwise, even if you go up the mountain, no one will treat you as a green onion, weigh it yourself!"

The honest man is at war and hesitates.

Bishan County Prison had this kind of disaster, and soon alarmed the two adults of the county order and county who got up in clothes, Feng Qiang's face was gloomy, and the second-in-command county Cheng Zuo Jing was expressionless, and he was happy in his heart, let you Feng Zong have great power, and the felons surnamed Shen escaped and didn't say it, after all, it was not recorded at first, and it could be made up, but the surname Wang was the goods that the Song family children who were the head snake in the county town were worried about, otherwise they would not have spent financial resources to get the county prison to the small Bishan County, you Feng Qian couldn't even do this little thing, and in the future, you would expect to be promoted to the county seat of Rouge CountyEven if you are lucky, you are not afraid that the Song family will stumble on you by wearing small shoes? The house leak happened to rain overnight, and when he heard the report that Song Yu had visited the county office overnight, Zuo Jing turned his head slightly, staring at the big red candle in the hall as thick as a baby's arm, and had some smiles that were difficult to hide. It's just that Zuo Jing couldn't laugh soon, because after Song Yu, a disciple of the high gate, asked to dismiss the county officials, he only left the two parents of the county commander, so he took away his arrogant expression, hugged his fists and said: "Song Yu offended the two adults before, and he still wants Haihan." Shen Li, nicknamed the King of Yama, is a bandit who has been on the run in Youzhou for many years, Song Yu has hung an identity in the criminal office of Rouge County, and Wang Shiwei is the big leader of Qingxin County. In addition to Lord Wang, there is also Captain Bai County, who has invited the elite scouts of the Captain of the Weak River and a hundred light horsemen, and when the time comes, he only needs to cooperate with Lord Wang......

At this time, a woman carrying a food box to deliver supper walked into the lobby of the yamen.

Song Yu was a little stunned, this woman's beautiful appearance is rare in her life, why can she go straight to the heavily guarded yamen?

The county commander Feng Qian and the county Cheng Zuo Jing were in a good mood, Feng Qian quietly smoothed the corners of his mouth that had just turned up, and said with a sad face: "Mrs. Xu, Master Xu was kidnapped by the prison robbers, and I don't know if I live or die for the time being, but I beg Mrs. to be relieved, the Bishan County Ya will definitely try its best to rescue ......."

Without waiting for the county magistrate to finish speaking, the woman let out a light sigh, turned around and left.

Zuo Jing twisted his beard and smiled, could it be that this woman with a face that deserves the four words of disaster for the country and the people is actually at odds with the husband and wife of Xu Zhubo, who is not shallow in terms of good fortune? Zuo Jing glanced at the county magistrate with fiery eyes, and sneered in his heart, Xu Zhu Bo, Xu Zhu Bo, even if you don't die at the hands of the bandits, you have to die at the hands of the county magistrate.

There is a famous saying in the Spring and Autumn Period, how do you say it? Zuo Jing quickly remembered: Brother and die in peace, and your wife and I will raise him.

Zuo Jing is now thinking about how to ask the county magistrate for a cup of leftovers, otherwise he will rein in the back hand that is already ready to go, don't fight to the death, and sincerely assist this arrogant county magistrate, it's a big deal that the two of them will be a brother-in-law under the stage in harmony?

Pei Nanwei walked out of the county office, walked on the deserted street, looked at the night, and said softly: "You don't go home at night, right, you don't think it's enough to lay on the floor?"
