Seeing Xu Chengfeng take a step back, the military academy who had endured it for a long time finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said in a deep voice: "Lin Ti arrest, the entire Yun Qin, I'm afraid that no arrest has relied on pure assumption to judge the case." ”

"Yun Qin does not have any arrest to judge the case by speculation, but any arrest will use some words to observe the words and look at the situation to see if the criminal is weak-minded. ”

Lin Xi didn't care about the reprimand of the military academy wearing bronze armor, and said indifferently: "If you are rude and obstruct me from handling the case, I will first treat you for the crime of disrupting the case for no reason." ”

The military academy was furious and shouted: "Lin Tizhuo, you are such a big official. ”

"Looking at his appearance, it is clear that he has a weak heart. ”

"That's it, otherwise I was so arrogant before, but now I'm scared like this... This official is also under the management of the three towns company battalion generals, so this is to please the boss, right?"

"First of all, Lord Arrest has already said that many officials are still guests of the Silver Hook Workshop, this officer, and the one who has never been angry with Lord Lin... I'm afraid they all wear a pair of pants. ”

Lin Xi didn't make a sound, just quietly looked at the military academy and Xu Chengfeng, but the voices of anger and ridicule in the surrounding crowd had already sounded.

The momentum of the military academy began to dissolve, and his face slowly turned pale.

Yun Qin's official system assessment, there is a folk reputation, the Ministry of Officials and the Department of Justice have independent departments in the civilian casual clothes private interviews, most of the officials in these departments are upright officials, and this civil evaluation in the promotion or debasement of officials also accounts for a very important part, and any official is very clear that it is difficult to establish a clean name and prestige among these people, but it is very easy to destroy their reputation, as long as one or two things, I am afraid it will be difficult to change the perception of many people in the future.

Lin Xi still didn't say anything, just looked at the Qingming river.

Lin Xi was silent, silent for a long time, even if he knew that speaking out at this moment might not be beneficial, but Lian Zhanshan, as Lin Xi's high-ranking official, couldn't ignore it.

So he tried his best to control his emotions and said in a harmonious voice: "Lin Tiyu, what are you waiting for now." ”

Lin Xi glanced at Lian Zhanshan, and suddenly couldn't help laughing, laughing in disgust.

Lian Zhanshan's hatred at the moment and didn't dare to hate it made Lin Xi think of Xu Shengmo... And although Xu Shengmo has a stinky face for him all day long, he is much cuter than these people.

"I'm waiting for someone. Lin Xi smiled disgustedly and said, "You are right, of course, evidence is also needed to arrest and handle the case." ”

Waiting for someone, waiting for someone?

Lian Zhanshan didn't know who Lin Xi was waiting for, because of Lin Xi's tone at this moment and the reaction of all the onlookers at this time, he didn't ask any more, but just stepped aside.

The scene slowly fell silent, and almost everyone's eyes were focused on the river.

After waiting for a long time, those who were standing on the high place suddenly had some commotion, and soon, everyone saw that a black dragon boat appeared on the river.

It's not any dragon boat day, but it's a real dragon boat.

There were thirty black, oily men paddling desperately on the boat, and an old man with a red scarf was beating a drum at the bow of the boat.

The old man and the thirty sturdy men were naked, and the sweat on their bodies flowed like earthworms.

In the middle of the boat sat a simple old woman in her fifties.

She sat motionless, her gray hair ruffled by the river breeze that was blowing at the speed of the boat.

The movement of those oarsmen and the immovable picture of her made people feel some kind of inexplicable power and shock, and for a while, the entire Donggang Town on the side of the river was completely quiet and silent.

The dragon boat docked.

The simple old woman stood up on her own, straightened her clothes, and walked over into the crowd.

The look on her face was very peaceful, and her eyes were very kind and kind, like a child who had come to pick up a child from the school.

She walked in front of Lin Xi, ignored the other officials present, bowed deeply to Lin Xi, and then did not make a sound, glanced at the floating corpse on the ground, and slowly walked into the small building.

When she came back to come out, she had a basin of water and a clean cloth towel in her hand, and then she squatted down and began to carefully wipe some of the dirt, water stains and other dirt on the floating corpse little by little, and wiped it very carefully.

Everyone understood exactly who the old woman was.

The silence caused the crowd to stir again, and more angry voices were heard, and some old men and women wept sympathetically.

Lin Xi didn't make a sound, nor did he stop the old woman's actions, he just took a deep breath and looked at Xu Chengfeng on the side.

Xu Chengfeng's face became even whiter, but his face began to be full of sneers.

The old woman wiped the face of the floating corpse, but she could not close the eyes of the floating corpse.

She put down the basin and cloth towel in her hand, knelt down in front of Lin Xi, and said hoarsely: "This is exactly what my son Feng Zeyi wants, please Lord Lin administer justice for my son." ”

As soon as the words fell, her forehead fell heavily on the bluestone slab in front of her, and there was a muffled sound, which shook everyone's hearts, and a blood flower bloomed on the bluestone slab, and blood flowed from the forehead of this simple old woman.

Lin Xi took a step forward, but he didn't have time to stop it, so he could only hold on to the old woman.

"Don't worry, I will definitely give you justice!"

He tore off a sleeve, pierced the old woman's wound, whispered this in the old woman's ear, stood up, looked directly at Lian Zhanshan, and said, "I want to search the Silver Hook Workshop, please allow Lord Lian." ”

Hearing Lin Xi's words, the sneer on Xu Chengfeng's face that had been suppressed for a long time finally bloomed: "Lord Lin, even if you suspect Silver Hook Fang, what does it have to do with me? I said it a long time ago, your accusations against me are all your assumptions. What evidence do you have to say that I have any relationship with the Silver Hook Workshop?"

Lin Xi glanced at Xu Chengfeng indifferently, turned his head to look at Lian Zhanshan again, and said, "Regardless of whether the Silver Hook Workshop has anything to do with him or not, Lord Lian, I want to search the Silver Hook Workshop first, please ask for permission." ”

Lian Zhanshan took a deep breath.

According to Yun Qin's law, if there is no definite evidence for the arrest, but only suspicion, if any residence is searched, the approval of the police station of his town is required. As long as he insists on it at the moment, Lin Xi may not be able to end it, but can he say for sure?

The eyes of countless people have been focused on him.

In addition to the townspeople of Donggang Town, there are also many businessmen who stay in Donggang Town.

If he can't say it accurately, I'm afraid that just the gaze of these people can tear him apart, not to mention how far it will spread next.

"Good. He nodded with some difficulty, and said, "I will allow you to search the Silver Hook Workshop." ”

He agreed with some difficulty, but Xu Chengfeng's face was even more sneering.

As soon as this news comes out, even if you rush to the Silver Hook Workshop immediately, what else will be left in the Silver Hook Workshop?

But almost at this moment, a sergeant suddenly squeezed out of the crowd quickly, and in front of Lian Zhanshan and the military academy, he said with a cold face: "A large number of black oil and stone rats have surrounded the Silver Hook Workshop. ”

"What!"

Xu Chengfeng's sneer froze on his face instantly, and even Zhan Shan and the military academy Huo Ran turned around and looked at Zhu Siye and Zhang Erye, "You gathered people to surround Fang City, do you want to openly rebel?"

"I asked them to help, and when I went, all of them would naturally leave. Lin Xi said seriously, "I paid the salary, one copper per person." ”

After speaking, Lin Xi turned around and strode towards the direction of the Silver Hook Workshop, and the crowd automatically separated on both sides of him, cheering and cheering.

......

Heng Rongchang's pipe belt Song Chengpeng and several important people on the two Heng Rongchang boats were also in the crowd watching Lin Xi stride forward, watching the people behind him who were fast escorting Xu Chengfeng and others to follow.

"Song Guandao, I didn't expect him to really dare to do it. Among several important people in Heng Rongchang, a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows couldn't help but exhale a breath, and his original dissatisfaction with Lin Xi seemed to have turned into admiration with the exhalation of this breath.

Song Chengpeng's face also showed a wry smile, and there was no trace of anger, "I knew that Zhang Longwang's group of people were bloody, but I didn't expect it to be bloody to this extent, I didn't expect this Lord Xiaolin to be bloody to such an extent, but..."

"It's just that you're worried that this kind of bloodiness will be useless in the end, and in the end, it's just that there will be some less bloody men on this river, right?" At this moment, a slightly old voice came into their ears.

Song Chengpeng and these Heng Rongchang characters were suddenly surprised and happy, turned around, and saw an old man with white eyebrows standing behind them, these people immediately bowed in unison, and saluted with the most sincere respect: "Big shopkeeper, why are you here." ”

"I happened to pass by, and I heard about such a terrible arrest, and I happened to see this wonderful, this kind of blood, which really made the river a lot clearer. The white-eyed old man looked at the direction of Lin Xixing's direction and said in admiration.

"When I came, I heard that Jiang Yanguan happened to be in Ludongling, if you don't want to see a few bloody men on the Xijiang River, send someone to fan the storm for him, so that he can come over and have a look. After a slight pause, the old man who was just wearing an ordinary yellow shirt and dressed as a scribe glanced at Song Chengpeng and the others, and said softly.

"Big shopkeeper, do you want to help him?" Song Chengpeng heard the clear meaning, and smiled a little bitterly.

The big shopkeeper of Heng Rongchang nodded: "Some people have backbones, and it is precisely because of the existence of these people that we can do business well and be reasonable." ”

......

Groups of black-clad men, barefoot and covered with mud, stood knee-deep in the water, densely surrounding a huge silver-lacquered painting boat.

These rough men who chew peppers and eat at one point on weekdays are all hanging their heads today, no matter how the people on the painting boat abuse, and even throwing dirt with vegetable skins, they never say a word, do not move, just stand in silence with swallowing their anger.

Seeing Lin Xi, Zhang Erye and others on the beach, these people washed their bodies with the river water, and began to go ashore and leave without saying a word.

Lin Xi crossed the floating river rows and boarded the silver giant painting boat.
