When he returned to the county seat, he was already crowing for ten years, and Ci'en, who had lost his soul, had no intention of saying goodbye to them, and staggered back to the temple. Cai Ji instructed everyone to go to the yamen to order something, and by the way, he asked the evil beasts in the yamen to expel the evil qi on their bodies. There is a special place in the yamen to ward off evil spirits and beasts.

The county yamen bears a stable and solemn party, and the yamen judgment is a place where justice is done in the world, and it can't help but be righteous for a long time, and it is also a place where evil gathers, the yamen of each state and county is completely different, and some places are majestic and majestic, such as the Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo because there was Bao Zheng to judge the case and leave the righteousness in the world to stay in Kaifeng Mansion for a long time, so the evil people dare not enter Kaifeng Mansion. Bao Zheng is known as the title of the master of the blue sky, and it is rumored in the world that he breaks the sun in the day and the yin in the night. Therefore, his face is as selfless as black carbon iron, his forehead has a crescent moon, and he has seen the rights and wrongs of good and evil in the two worlds of yin and yang.

If the official in this yamen is a mediocre and incompetent corrupt official, who uses his official power to corrupt and pervert the law, then this yamen is mostly gloomy and terrifying, and it is haunted by demons. Whether it is a good official or a corrupt official, there must be a divine beast in the yamen to suppress the luck of one party.

According to legend, Pixiu is the inspector of the heavens, specializing in preventing demons, demons, plagues and diseases from disturbing the heavens. Therefore, it can suppress evil spirits, and because it has a mouth but no anus, it can swallow everything without leaking. You can attract wealth and treasure, only in and out. The treasury inside the yamen is dedicated to the place where Pixiu is enshrined.

After worshipping Pixiu, he took hot water to rinse off the smell on his body, and then dragged his tired body to his own home.

There's already someone out there selling breakfast.

After a night of travel, plus mental stimulation. After taking a shower, Song Qingyun felt that he was in high spirits, Cai Ji saw his son-in-law's expression and knew that this was due to the period of high spirits, and he also walked all the way when he was young, and he still remembered that he was excited to hunt down a murderer and didn't sleep all night. The next day, he was still energetic and followed the head-hunting action.

This is the instinctive and physiological response of human beings to the unknown. After the euphoria period, it is endless tiredness and hollowed out spirit, which makes people very sleepy.

Stopping Song Qingyun, Cai Ji came to a steamed bun shop and said, "Ten meat buns, six fritters." Two nights of porridge with another plate of pickles. ”

"Cai Zhutou, wait a minute, you sit over there. That's for you. "The owner of the steamed bun shop is an honest craftsman, and the steamed buns are superb, and even the county magistrate is full of praise. It is also a well-known steamed bun shop in Xuanhua County.

Cai Ji glanced at the small shop, and there were three people, two men and one woman, eating steamed buns and drinking porridge with pickles. Find their old seats, and the two of them sit down and wait for the buns to be served.

The three people next to him ate with relish, Cai Ji couldn't help but take a few more looks, and arched his hand: "The three are foreigners, right?" Looking at the beauty of these three women, his son-in-law's eyes were straight, and he almost went to report to his home. One of the men is ordinary, but the other is heroic and introverted, exuding a charming temperament from the inside out. Looking at the eyes of the daughter of the bun shop next to him, you can know how lethal this man is to girls.

Cai Ji has never seen these three people, and his professional acuity always has a kind of vigilance towards strangers. Although the Great Song Dynasty ruled in a peaceful corner, it was the richest country in this war-torn world, and the Great Song Dynasty did not suppress merchants. From the Jin soldiers to the north, the Zhao family moved south. The national strength is not as good as before, but the Southern Song Dynasty is also the richest country in the entire world.

The people sitting in the bun shop are the three aquatic people who hiked from the sheep intestine trail, and they walked for more than 100 miles for two days, and rushed in to eat the famous steamed buns when the county gate opened this morning.

The steamed bun shop was recommended by Tang San, and he can be regarded as having lived in Xuanhua County for many years, and he is also fascinated by Xuanhua steamed buns. In the past, being a thief in the sheep intestine trail naturally had no chance to Xuanhua steamed buns, but today I finally washed myself white, so that I had the opportunity to enter the county seat to eat the well-known fragrant buns.

Tang San has never resisted the temptation of food, not to mention that today he wants money and money, and he wants identity and identity.

As soon as the sky was bright, when the first rays of sunlight were scattered in the world, the ancient city gate of Xuanhua County slowly opened, and the vegetable farmers who had been waiting outside the city gate lined up one by one to enter the city, and the three aquatic people also mixed into the crowd and entered the county seat. I inquired all the way to the bun shop.

Just before he had eaten a few bites, two people came in the store, and Tang San's eyes couldn't help shrinking slightly, and his whole body tensed. Tang San knew each other, and the county cracked down on bandits every year, and every time the old catcher led people.

It's very familiar.

"Eat breakfast with peace of mind. Don't mess with it. Feeling the faint murderous aura emanating from Tang San, Shui Sheng took a bite of porridge and said casually. You must know that if you have been in a profession for more than ten years, you are very sensitive to career-related things, and it has almost become instinct.

Xi'er glanced at Tang San, and continued to drink the grain in the bowl that Mr. called porridge, it was delicious, even more delicious than the wild fruits she ate, and a faint fragrance emanated from the bowl, which was the breath from Mother Earth. I don't know why Xi'er likes to eat gruel very much, hates the pickles in the small plate, and also follows the example of her husband with pickles and porridge, and just after eating a bite, she is very sick to her stomach. In disgust, he said: "This dish has defiled the gruel." ”

Shui Sheng smiled: "Each has different tastes, you are pure and natural by nature." The gruel is slowly boiled out with clean water, without adding the breath of the world, you naturally like it. This pickle is not as pure as porridge. If you can't get used to eating, don't follow my example. ”

"Oh. ”

Xi'er gulped down the porridge in the bowl, like a child finding candy.

Catcher finally spoke. The older catcher got up and arched his hand: "How many are outsiders, right?" is very polite, as a catcher, it is very polite to be able to ask people. For remote counties, the right to catch fast is very large. Some headhunters often have no one in their eyes and never treat strangers with affection.

Shui Sheng put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, and Xi'er stopped drinking porridge when he saw it. Tang San, who was out of sight, was still gobbling it up. I don't pay attention to the catch in front of me.

Xi'er didn't like it very much, so Tang San was unlucky.

His face was so embarrassed that Tang San immediately pushed the dishes and chopsticks forward, trembling his mouth, rubbing his hands to his legs vigorously! That kick really hurts!

"The three of us are not locals, passing through Xuanhua County and heard that the buns in the county are a must in the county, so I came early in the morning to taste and taste, this bun is really worthy of its name, and it is not in vain for my trip. Shui Sheng also stood up and bowed. Since the person in front of him is the fast catcher of this county, Dafang admits that it is.

Catching fast, maintaining law and order, dealing with all kinds of people from three religions and nine streams, and recognizing people, this point of vision is a compulsory subject for every fast catcher. Like Cai Ji, who has been a fast catcher for more than ten years, he is particularly accurate in recognizing people, and he can basically recognize every household in the county. Outlanders like Shui Sheng are of course instantly recognizable.

Cai Ji arched his hand and said: "Down there is the head catcher of this county, and I saw a few face-to-face students, so I was surprised." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, it's the duty of the head catcher. How can we be disgusted? Shui Sheng didn't want to have too much contact with the catcher, so he got up and said, "After eating, I'm going to continue on my way." ”

Cai Ji said: "Go slowly." ”

Shui Sheng took Xi'er and Tang San out of the bun shop and walked in the direction of the outside of the city.

Looking at the backs of the three people, Cai Ji said: "These three people are suspicious, I'll go with you to see the situation, Qingyun, you go to the yamen to rush the arrester on duty today to join me outside the city." ”

"I think it's just a foreigner. Song Qingyun said.

Cai Ji said coldly: "What do you know, looking at who they seem to be avoiding in a hurry, there must be something strange in them." You still remember the sea fishing paper that was handed out from Guangzhou Road a few days ago. These three people coincide with the content of the document, and they are also two men and one woman. The same is a foreigner. It is not inappropriate to take it back to the yamen for interrogation on the basis of these. Why don't you go there quickly? ”

Song Qingyun immediately rushed to the yamen to report the county order, and Cai Ji followed closely.

After walking less than half a mile, Xi'er lowered her voice and said, "Sir, the catcher in the back is following us." ”

Tang San immediately wanted to turn back.

Shui Sheng stopped: "Don't look back, just don't see it." Seeing that the three of them were about to walk out of the county. Seeing that the arrester in the yamen was coming over, Cai Ji suddenly quickened his pace and shouted, "The person in front of him stays." ”

Shui Sheng stopped, turned around and said, "I don't know what happened to the catcher calling me?"

Cai Ji said: "I saw that the three of you were sneaky and suspicious, so I stopped the three of you and had something to ask." ”

"I know everything below. ”

"Where are you from?"

"The three of us are from Xiakeng Town. Aquatic replied truthfully.

Cai Ji was shocked: "You are from the sheep intestine path? There are robbers everywhere, and the three of them are not strong martial arts in the rivers and lakes, how to walk through the sheep intestines, I see that you are clearly deceiving me." Seeing that Song Qingyun dared to come over with the catchers. Pointing to Shui Sheng, he said: "Someone will take down the three of them and escort them back to the yamen for careful questioning." ”

Xi'er was just about to teach these catchers a lesson, but was stopped by Shui Sheng and said: "Wait, I don't know how I can prove it?"

Tang San sneered: "The official words have two mouths, and they will be counted by what they say." Don't talk nonsense with them, let's go. ”

Cai Ji immediately ordered the three of them to be surrounded and said, "I suspect that you are the people on the sea fishing paperwork, and you know me to go to the yamen and walk down." Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude. It wouldn't be easy to do if you hurt a few people. ”

After quickly surrounding the three of them, he was ready to put his hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist, and then drew the knife to look at the person. The people watching the excitement on the side saw the tension between the two sides, and they were so frightened that they quickly dispersed to the side to continue watching the excitement.

The so-called Celestial Empire has never lacked people, the two sides have been on the same footing, and the people who watched the excitement still refused to leave for a long time, the street has long been full of onlookers, it is difficult to see the street arrest, the land of China boasts of the Celestial Empire, after nearly a thousand years of Confucianism, few people will embark on the road of crime.

On weekdays, the cases handled by the county government are nothing more than trivial matters, and the case that has been topped up is which village cow is lost. As for the murder case, it is not seen once in a few years.

Shui Sheng said: "The clear ones are self-clearing, and the turbid ones are self-turbid." The three of us will go with you. ”

Cai Ji sneered: "Forgive you for not being able to play any tricks, come here, lock these three people and escort them back to the yamen to ask the county master to interrogate them strictly." ”

The three of them were chained and sent to the yamen. Among the three, Tang San didn't care, Xi'er from Rotten Peach Mountain had never received such humiliation, and forcibly suppressed his anger with the greatest strength. whispered to the aquatic life beside him: "Why should Gongzi be insulted by this mortal in every way, just kill him directly." ”

Shui Sheng said: "I'm hiding from someone. ”

Xi'er looked at Shui Sheng in surprise.

"You're still young, and some things are more secure from another point of view. The owner of the python spirit in your Sumeru bag has come to look for someone. We'd better stagger him. Otherwise, there will be a lot of trouble. Shui Sheng advised: "If you can't stand going to prison, turn into a flying rainbow and wait for me on the ancient road ten miles away, at least one or two days, at most three or five days, we can come out." ”
