After Liu Chang left, at the beginning, everything was as expected, and the government was frightened for a few days, and began to track down the source of the witch Gu. The witch Gu thing was thousands of beggars arranged by Liu Chang, and they were thrown everywhere through the dark night. The beggars are all a rabble, and after getting money, there are always people who show it around, and slowly they are also noticed by the government.

For a while, the prison was filled with beggars, as Liu Chang expected. Liu Chang was also very cautious when he was doing this, and he didn't arrange anyone in the gang, he came forward in person.

And these low-level beggars don't know who Liu Chang is at all, but no matter who they are, they don't care so much about working and getting money.

Therefore, no matter how the government interrogated, these beggars said in unison that it was a child who gave money and let them do it, and as for who the child was, they did not know, and for a while, the case reached a deadlock.

Until October, four months after Liu Chang left, the capital was shocked by the news that Li Guangli, who had defected to the Huns, was killed by the Huns Shan Yu.

The whole capital has been dull for several months, and all of a sudden such good news came, the government and the opposition were very excited, and in order to celebrate, the imperial court deliberately canceled the three-day curfew and rejoiced with the people.

The five horse hall masters of the beggar gang, except for Ma Xin and Ma Jin, obeyed Liu Chang's arrangement, each took 10,000 gold, and disappeared from people's sight with their families, and no one knew where they went.

And Ma Shou, Ma Wei and Ma Rufeng, although they were quiet for two months, they were reluctant to let go of the flower world of Chang'an City, and they had a lot of money in their hands, so they couldn't bear the loneliness, and took advantage of the cancellation of the curfew, forgetting that Liu Chang had repeatedly instructed them not to contact each other, and the three of them made an appointment to enter the city together.

"Brother Biaozi, something is wrong." The county lieutenant Zhuzi sneaked into the office of the county Cheng Biaozi, and saw that there was no one left and right, so he whispered in Biaozi's ear.

"Ah, Lord Lieutenant, what kind of wind has blown you over?" Biaozi stretched out his hand to stop the pillar, and then, in an enthusiastic tone, said loudly.

He and Zhu Zi are the same officials, and although they rarely move around, it is normal for them to know each other. Liu Chang once sternly confessed that they, including the beggars in the county government, must all be dormant, and they are not allowed to contact each other without the personal explanation of the helper.

Today, the pillar came over in person, something must have happened, but this is the yamen, and they don't dare to be too close, after all, they belong to two different departments, and being too close will attract the attention of others.

Zhu Zi understood and said loudly: "Hasn't the curfew been lifted in the past two days, but I'm busy, no, I'm here to ask for a glass of water." ”

"Come on, serve tea!" Biao Zi greeted, and then a subordinate poured a cup of tea and handed it to the pillar. The pillar also made a look of hunger and thirst, grabbed the tea and poured it into his mouth, and this time, he jumped up hotly, and screamed.

"This, this, this" Biao Zi also jumped up anxiously, and scolded at the subordinate: "Who told you to pour such hot water, you are blind!" ”

"Oops, hey, it's out of the way, it's out of the way, it's me who is anxious," the pillar said inarticulately.

Biao Zi held on to the pillar and walked out: "It's not in the way, I'll take you to the medical worker." The pillar said, "This is so troublesome, I still have to be on duty."

"On duty, it won't delay you to find a medical worker"

"Well, thank you."

When the two of them turned to a no-man's land, Biao Zi hurriedly asked, "What happened to the helper, how did the helper explain, did you forget!?" ”

The pillar covered his cheeks and said, "This is about the head, how dare I forget, oops, it hurts me to death." ”

"Say it quickly, don't be so pretentious, if there is no big event, don't blame the brother for turning his face and being ruthless."

"Ma Shou, Ma Wei and Rufeng entered the city, got drunk, and made trouble in Nulu, and were caught by the people of the Northern Army." The pillar knew the seriousness of the matter, and he didn't care about the pain, so he said the matter briefly.

"Ahh When was this? How do you know? ”

"Just two hours ago, Ma Shou and Ma Wei didn't know us, but Ma Rufeng knew us. It was he who named me and asked me to give him peace, I just came to tell you when I saw an opportunity, you hurry up and get an idea, what should I do? ”

"Northern Army, do you know anyone?"

"Nope"

"It's a problem. In the hands of the Northern Army, no one can fool the pass, these three straight thieves, you immediately go and inform the three generals, let them take the master out to hide, and don't come back. Fast! In the old house, there is a sweaty horse, you can ride it, quickly! ”

"What are you going to do?"

"Leave me alone, I'll figure it out."

Thinking of the completion of the womb, Liu Chang did not come back; Emperor Wu issued the "Luntai Edict", and Liu Chang did not come back; The beggars were purged, and Liu Chang did not come back; The three deputy gang leaders and the twenty-four main and deputy hall leaders were beheaded, and Liu Chang did not come back; Liu Ju's father and son were killed, Mrs. Wang was killed, and Liu was missing; Liu Chang didn't come back.

In this retest, Liu Chang still barely passed. It's not a skill test, it's not a physical fitness test, it's an evolutionary assessment.

"Lack of heart!" Liu Chang was furious, he put almost all his energy into physical training in the past half a year, and he was tortured to death every day, but he didn't take any of the exam questions he prepared: "You come out for me!" ”

"Hey, I'm here" The lack of heart floated in front of Liu Chang: "Master, your anger value is off the charts, are you going to make a big move?" ”

"Didn't you say that I had to strengthen my body, and if I didn't reach the first grade, I would be eliminated? Why is this happening? I'm still almost eliminated! ”

"It's not my fault for this" The lack of heart immediately stayed away from the angry Liu Chang, so as not to be affected by the rampage: "This is what your aunt said, you look for her." I didn't say that. I have a memory, and that's not bad for me. ”

"Didn't you already know! You damn lack of heart" Liu Chang remembered, at that time, he really didn't know what to ask, and it was his aunt who asked him to strengthen his training.

Now it doesn't matter, the important thing is that I need a punching bag now, and this missing eye is just the right size, tall, fat and thin.

"You passed it anyway, why are you so angry?" Lack of heart and eyes are a little aggrieved, I am recruiting who to provoke whom, I am hanging up, and I encounter a disaster of innocence, a real disaster of innocence.

"I'm so angry, you have to let me beat me up, get angry" Liu Chang's eyes showed a fierce light, and he approached the missing eye step by step.

"Why" Lack of heart and eyes were very aggrieved: "You should find that woman." I'm expensive."

"Broken, rebuild!"

"Accessories are also very expensive" Lack of heart and eyes trembling, while talking and retreating.

"Then you think of a way to make me angry! Lao Tzu is working hard, and he is still at the bottom. ”

"Okay, okay, I just thought. Ah~ By the way, we went whaling in the East China Sea, and that thing is so big that it can make you angry. I heard that there are also immortals, and fighting with immortals is more relieving. As soon as he heard Liu Chang's tone, he was overjoyed, and immediately caused trouble, big brother whale, fairy brother, I'm sorry, the dead friend is not the poor road.

When Liu Chang came back, it was already a year later, in April of the first year of the Later Yuan Dynasty, that is, twelve months after he left, Liu Chang appeared on the streets of Chang'an.

Looking at the small courtyard that used to be full of laughter, the office office that has been reduced to scorched earth and used to eat and drink with his brothers has been empty, and the little nephew's residence is also in rubble.

Liu Chang walked along the familiar streets, watching and walking one by one. Everything was like yesterday's dream. On the street, there are no beggars, there are no more beggars, the whole street is clear and quiet, and there are few pedestrians on the road.

It was still the child wandering the streets, or a team patrolling the streets, still warning him to go home immediately. Everything is back to square one. Liu Chang walked to the north of the palace, came to the place where he stood with his father, and saw that the palace had been completed and was splendid. Where is my father buried? He didn't know; Where is my sister-in-law buried? He didn't know either;

The little nephew, when he thought of a small illness, seemed to see the little little dot with a pair of small hands, rushing towards him, and shouting: "Uncle, uncle", he was expressionless, and tears flowed involuntarily.

The palace in front of him also seemed to laugh at him. Liu Chang silently walked back, and came to the original wine house again. The wine house where he met Bing Ji and thus met his sister-in-law and little nephew, Liu Chang walked in and came to the same position.

There were not many drinkers in the hall, sporadic and the time was wrong, maybe they didn't dare to come out and were scared.

Xiao Er is still the same Xiao Er, and when I saw Liu Chang, I still had that smile. Liu Chang still ordered the same dish and the same payment method. Liu Chang used the same eating method and waited for a long time, but no one else appeared.

Liu Chang was full of food and wine, and his eyes were a little hazy. He recruited the runner again, paid a bag of copper coins, and asked Xiao Er to buy a huge pen and a white linen cloth more than ten zhang long. Liu Chang swept away all the pots and pots on several cases, then spread one end of the white cloth, picked up a huge pen, dipped it in thick ink, and wrote word by word, after writing, he threw away the huge pen, put the white cloth under his arm, walked to the second floor, walked to the second floor and continued to walk towards the attic. Then, through the attic, stand on the edge of the roof.

All the diners were intrigued by this strange behavior, and they stood at the top of the stairs or under the porch, heard movement outside, and swarmed outside. I saw Liu Chang standing on the cornice, I don't know when there was an extra wooden stick in his hand, it should be the handrail of the stairs, he reached out and inserted the wooden stick horizontally on the cornice, and then tied one end of the white cloth to the two ends of the wooden stick, and then, a flying practice flew from top to bottom. When people saw the words on it clearly, they scattered in a hurry, only to see the big book on it:

The leader of the beggar gang is here, and the leader of the hidden gang will come to see me quickly.

Those who can consume here, either rich or expensive, how can there be illiterate, and at first glance, it is the leader of the beggar gang, and the beggar gang that turned the world upside down two months ago, no one knows which one does not know.

Someone dares to call himself a helper, and he is even more bold, who dares to stay? After doing all this, Liu Chang returned to the first floor and asked for the same wine and food again. And this time, the second child in the running hall, after sending all the wine and food, didn't even ask for money, and ran away! Liu Chang was eating and drinking slowly.

In less than half an hour, the deputy gang leader didn't see it, but a gang of officials and catchers came, dozens of them, and surrounded the place. The head catcher rushed into the lobby with more than a dozen catchers, and there was no one in the lobby, except for a child, who looked around suspiciously.

Liu Chang looked at the expression of the head catcher, but he was secretly relieved in his heart, it seemed that his subordinates did not betray him.

"You're here to find me, I'm the helper, the person you're looking for. I have some things to attend to now, and I can't go back with you for the time being. Disperse for now, for this is not something you can solve. Liu Chang said calmly, without even raising his head, and continued to drink.

The head catcher led a group of fast catchers, although they were like facing a great enemy, but they were all at a loss. How to explain to your superiors if you arrest a child of a few years old as a gang leader? Do you want his old face anymore? The head catcher didn't pay attention to what Liu Chang was saying, maybe he didn't care about what Liu Chang was saying at all, he just waved his hand, and the shopkeeper and the person who ran the hall were taken out.

"Is that what you're talking about?" The head catcher looked at Liu Chang suspiciously, and asked the shopkeeper and the running hall.

"Yes, it's him, that banner is what he hung, I saw with my own eyes." The shopkeeper didn't squeak, and he swore to run the hall.

"Do you know the consequences of teasing the yamen? Do you know the consequences of false accusations? ”

"Knowing"

"Well, you know. If he "catches his head and points at Liu Chang:" If you are not the helper, you are the helper, and you are guilty of the same crime as the helper." The head catcher explained the seriousness of the matter directly to the running hall.

"I didn't say that he was the gang leader, I said that someone called himself the leader of the beggar gang" was frightened when he ran in, and quickly confessed. He didn't quite believe that this kid was the leader of the beggar gang who made Chang'an City dirty, but that banner appeared in their wine house, and if he didn't report it, he would be guilty.

"What did you just say? You say you're the helper? After checking with the shopkeeper and the running hall, the head catcher came to Liu Chang.

"Yes"

"You were sent by the gang leader?"

"I'm the helper himself."

"What's your last name, what's your name, and who are your parents?"

"My surname is Liu, my name is Liu Chang, my mother died in the witch Gu incident, my father died in this beggar gang cleanup, I am now an orphan"

"You're here to speak for your parents?"

"No, I'm here to surrender."

"You don't come to the yamen to surrender, what are you doing here?"

"I think that after surrendering, I will never be able to drink the fine wine here again, so I will come here to deepen my memories."

"Liu Chang, now I don't treat you as a child. Can you take responsibility for your words? Do you know the consequences of contempt for the government? ”

"Whether it is contempt for the government or not, maybe there will be an answer soon. Now let's take him as a joke, I just want to confirm something. If you take this as a joke, you can leave, and if you are not at ease, you can stay. I really have something, either I'll go with you, or you can step down, okay? "Straighten out all the people, what does that mean? We're law enforcement officers, and you think we're in the way?

"That's it", the head catcher looked at the more and more onlookers around, many people held the mentality of watching the excitement, giggling, pointing and pointing, and some people even said "If he is the helper, I am the helper's uncle" and so on. But he didn't dare to stop the team and leave it alone, after all, it was related to the beggar gang case.

"You better come with us, and you can go home when you make things clear" Everyone thinks that this is a child who is making trouble, and they don't know whose child it is?

"It's okay, leave me here alone, you must not worry, I will go with you. What a big deal, you, go up and take down the text panel, don't break it, it's expensive. Liu Chang instructed a servant.

"Let's go"

Seeing that the banner was taken down, the official did not dare to break it, this is the evidence presented in court, and the official did not dare to break it. So, a large group of people surrounded a little kid and went back to the yamen, and the people around saw that everyone was gone, and they dispersed when they didn't see the excitement. However, the news of the beggar gang leader's appearance spread far and wide.

"I want to see the county commander" When he arrived at the yamen, Liu Chang said directly to the head catcher.

"If you see any county order, you just need to go with us to record a confession, tell us who wrote this word, who asked you to hang it, and then you can go back." The head catcher who is angry is in a bad mood. For the first time since the errand, I felt like I was being teased, and I was helpless, feeling that everyone was looking at me with idiotic eyes.

"I know, I'll say in a while, you and the helper are in the same group, I'll tell you, you can tell the helper to run away." This kind of face-to-face false accusation is a hundred tried, and there is no taboo in children's words.

"Don't talk nonsense, little brat! Talking nonsense, I'll kill you" The head catcher was also frightened by these words, the child is not sensible, and there is another sentence, so that the child will not lie. If anyone is serious, this sentence can be really fatal.

"I'm right, you still want to kill people! Someone killed someone!! Someone killed someone!! Liu Chang shouted loudly, and everyone heard it, some people didn't know the facts, and showed puzzled eyes, like someone really wanted to kill someone.

The official hurriedly covered Liu Chang's mouth, it was really not a trivial matter to get involved with the beggar gang, the yamen and the local garrison took a lot of effort to solve this case, but who said that the gang leader, they haven't figured it out until now, they all guessed that there must be a heavyweight person like a relative of the emperor and the country, otherwise there would not be so much energy to organize a large sect of hundreds of thousands of people.

Once the people behind the scenes are found, it must be another bloody storm, and whoever is involved in this matter will be unlucky.

"Okay, okay, I'll take you to see the county magistrate, don't talk nonsense." In this way, a group of people came to the county yazheng hall again, which is the place where the county order office. When these people explained clearly to the county order, and when they went out again, the county order also looked at him with puzzled eyes.

"That's it, Lord County Commander, I can't explain it to you clearly, you asked people to hang out the banner they just got back, arrange a few beds under the banner, get some tea, wait slowly, drank a stomach of wine, and died of thirst. There will be surprises. What do you think? ”

"Come on, do as he says." The prefectural order didn't bother to say much, and it couldn't bother to say more. When asked? Don't be funny, no matter whether the result of the interrogation is true or not, it will be considered fake, and you will become a laughing stock among your colleagues. Since this child plays such a big topic, he doesn't dare not take it, let him play by himself, we watch him play, can't play, it's easy to solve, Wang Fa is ruthless, not only for adults, but also for children.

Soon, a tall flagpole was erected in front of the yamen, fluttering small ink treasures. Under the flagpole, Xiao Liu sat leisurely on the couch, tasting loneliness. There are dark lines in the yamen, Liu Chang knows about them, and some of them are arranged by him personally. Although it was cleaned, it was impossible to clean it so cleanly, although the dark line didn't know him, but he could notify his invisible deputy gang leader, and the efficiency of finding someone was much faster than when he went to find it.
