Chapter 10: The Wicked Officials

After bathing, Wang Xiao ordered a large table of meat, ready to treat his hungry stomach.

But I saw a group of messengers walking into the inn with gloomy faces.

The leader is a middle-aged man wearing a black flying fish suit, with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big hair, and he looks very rough.

As soon as he entered the door, he didn't wait for the fat shopkeeper to come forward to greet him, and asked directly: "Shopkeeper Xu, there was a murder outside your inn last night, do you know?" ”

"This ......"

When the fat shopkeeper heard this, his originally smiling face immediately changed color, and he asked, "Under the vast court, there are still so rampant shafts?" ”

"The two deceased were both killed by a clean cut throat, which is rampant, and the shopkeeper Xu will know it at a glance when he goes to the yamen!"

"Li Zhutou, the little dare to ask, who are the identities of the two people who died?"

"The Jiang family is subordinate!"

Wang Xiao, who was not far away, raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but he didn't act rashly and continued to pay attention to himself.

Li Zhutou snorted coldly and said, "Don't talk nonsense, Li asked you, did you hear any noise or see any suspicious people passing by around midnight last night?" ”

"If you go back to the adult, the villain doesn't know."

The fat shopkeeper glanced at Li Zhutou's fierce face, and knew that it was not so easy to give up.

I had to continue: "The little one was on duty at the inn last night, drank a little wine, it was freezing outside, and he went back to his room to sleep very early, and what happened later, the little one really didn't know." ”

"Really?"

"And what kind of people have been staying in your inn lately?"

Li Zhutou said as he walked around the guest house, and his eyes soon fell on a lone guest who was feasting on a table.

Pointing and asking, "This person looks very raw!" ”

That person is Wang Xiao!

"This ......"

The fat shopkeeper has been in the inn for more than ten years, and he still has some professional ethics, and he did not disclose the passenger information for the first time.

Instead, he smiled forcefully: "There are rules for one line of work, Li Zhutou, please don't be embarrassed by the small ......"

Li Zhutou snorted coldly when he heard this, and did not continue to ask.

just walked straight to Wang Xiao, took off the long knife hanging from his waist, and slapped it on the table where Wang Xiao was sitting.

asked: "This head catcher looks at your face, you don't look like a person from Anping County, where do you come from, is there a way!" ”

The soup splashed.

Wang Xiao frowned, and said quietly: "This lord, such a great official!" ”

"Huh?" Li Zhutou's rough eyebrows are also raised.

Before he could speak, an errand officer behind him stood up, pointed at Wang Xiao and said sharply: "Li Zhutou asked you, what kind of attitude!" ”

Wang Xiao smiled angrily: "Dare to ask the official, what did you do?" ”

"Just now Li Zhutou said that there was a murder here last night, are you deaf!"

The errand is used to being rampant, how can I see Wang Xiao dare to talk to him in such a yin and yang weird manner, and immediately felt a pair of shackles in his heart, and sneered:

"I now suspect that you are the murderer last night, come back to the yamen with me!"

As he spoke, he stepped forward to take down Wang Xiao.

When the fat shopkeeper saw this scene on the side, he dared not speak out.

just shook his head in his heart, such a little brother with a passable eye, why doesn't his brain shine......

Don't you understand the reason why the people don't fight with the officials?

Hades is easy to see, but the little ghost is difficult.

Even if the person is innocent, but the evil official who has offended now must be sent to prison and suffer, and maybe he will be beaten into a trick and used as a substitute for the dead......

Alas!

The fat shopkeeper couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

But at this moment, another messenger stepped forward to stop the companion who was about to be handcuffed, and under the other party's puzzled eyes, he carefully looked at Wang Xiao.

Somewhat uncertain, he asked, "Dare to ask, but Lord Wang?" ”

"Lord Wang?"

Hearing this title, everyone present, including Li Zhutou, all changed their faces.

The officer holding the shackles was a little dissatisfied and said: "Lord Wang, the king is in the yamen, Lao Chen, didn't you wake up, what are you doing to stop me from arresting the suspect!" ”

The officer surnamed Chen glanced at Wang Xiao, feeling that the other party's cold face always had a touch of calmness, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

So he was ready to pull away his colleagues who were used to running amok.

But I heard Wang Xiao ask lightly: "Do you recognize me?" ”

The officer surnamed Chen was in a dilemma for a while, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Back to the adult, yesterday the lord came to the county government to contact official business, and the king mentioned the lord and the little one. ”

"Lao Chen, who is this adult?" Li Zhutou sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked.

The officer surnamed Chen glanced at his boss and the colleague who was still holding the shackles in his hands, and said with a wry smile: "This is Lord Wang of the Jingwei Division of the capital. ”

"What?!"

As soon as this remark came out.

Not to mention Li Zhu's first class of errand soldiers, even the fat shopkeeper on one side was dumbfounded.

This descendant who is kind to people everywhere and likes to visit the Qinglou at night turned out to be an official from the capital?

Look away!

However, Li Zhutou was the first to react, and hurriedly bowed down and hugged his fists and said, "It turned out to be Lord Wang, offended." ”

Wang Xiao dispelled the relief in his head, and took out the official document stamped with the seals of the Jingwei Division and the Great Seal of the Tobe and slapped it on the other party's face.

said lightly: "Don't you dare to be an adult, didn't Li Zhutou have something to ask before, but now you can ask." ”

Through Sun Ergou's memory, after learning that Master Wang colluded with Yaxing, Wang Xiao lost his good impression of this group of errand soldiers.

Now that I see them running rampant and domineering and bumping into themselves, of course they won't give a good face.

"Misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding......" Li Zhutou felt that his head was as big as a fight.

Although the Jingwei Division is a Qingshui Yamen, it is not ranked in the capital, but it is only at the feet of the Son of Heaven!

can be sent out to the capital to take charge of a certain matter, this Lord Wang is at least also in a green robe, not something that they can afford to provoke as an unqualified errand officer.

Especially now, they are still in the first place!

Li Zhutou smiled and said: "The people under my hands are ignorant and contradict the adult, so I will ask him to compensate the adult." ”

As he spoke, he beckoned the previous errand officer and was about to make him apologize, but was interrupted by Wang Xiao waving his hand.

"Didn't you say earlier that Wang was the murder suspect and should be brought back to the yamen for interrogation?"

"It's a misunderstanding this time?" Wang Xiao still had a tone that was neither salty nor light: "Do you know that slandering the court officials at will is to pull out your tongue!" ”

Wang Xiao changed his words, and then said: "But those who don't know are not guilty, and if they are kind, they don't care about the depths." ”

"......"

Speaking of this, Wang Xiao picked up the teacup and took a sip lightly, and there was no more.

Li Zhutou is an old oilman.

immediately comprehended, and beckoned: "Lao Lin, don't hurry up and admit your mistake to Lord Wang!" ”

The officer surnamed Lin stepped forward, his face was blue and red, he clenched his fists very embarrassedly, and whispered to Wang Xiao to make amends.

The latter continued to sip the tea, unmoved.

"Lord Wang, the little ones are busy?" Li Zhutou asked tentatively.

Wang Xiao was still drinking tea.

Seeing that the forehead of the errand surnamed Lin jumped, he gritted his teeth and said: "Lord Wang, the county government is doing things, you don't see you when you look up and look down, you can just accept it when you see it!" ”

Stupidity!

When Li Zhutou and the others heard this, their faces changed, and they were about to open their mouths to continue playing the round.

But seeing Wang Xiao put down the teacup, he glanced at the servant surnamed Lin, and said lightly: "Palm!" ”
