One night half a month later.

Von der Lin is studying at home.

Suddenly, he heard someone knocking on the door, he opened the door and saw that it was none other than Du Qingfeng.

"Engong, you have always been good," Du Qingfeng saluted him, his face was full of spring breeze, and he smiled: "I miss you, I came to see you today." ”

"You're all healed?" Feng Delin looked good at first glance and recovered well.

"It's all right."

"Later, the government didn't bother you, did it?"

"No, everything is calm again." Du Qingfeng said.

"It's okay, I'm still worried about you."

"The people of the government, I know, they don't dare to do anything to us easily, no matter what, there are hundreds of brothers and hundreds of guns on our cottage, and they have to weigh before they act," Du Qingfeng laughed, and then took out two packages from his arms, "Engong, what do you think this is?" ”

I saw him open the package, and inside one of them was a thousand taels of silver with white flowers, and the other revealed a golden token.

"Engong, these two things are given to you, thank you!"

"I have received your heart, but I can't ask for this silver." Feng Delin thought to himself, these silver are all stolen goods that you have stolen from other places, in case they are found by the government, when the time comes, I can't tell clearly, so I resolutely refused.

Du Qingfeng probably saw what Feng Delin meant, so he didn't force it anymore, and then said: "Engong, since you don't collect cashiers, then you can always accept this Qingfeng token." ”

"What's the use of this token?" Von Delin was puzzled.

Du Qingfeng laughed and said: "Engong, you don't know, don't underestimate this token, this is equivalent to the tiger talisman of the ancient army." ”

"Tiger Talisman?"

"Exactly, Engong, as long as you have this Qingfeng Order in hand, then, you can mobilize all the brothers in our cottage, and they must obey your orders," Du Qingfeng said, "This token is a symbol of power and honor, who doesn't want to get it?" If you have it, it is equivalent to having a talisman, and in the future, you will walk the rivers and lakes, even if you encounter other bandits, they will not dare to do anything to you, which is much more convenient. ”

"This little token has so much power?" Feng Delin couldn't help but feel a little curious.

"That's nature, Eun Gong, can I still lie to you?"

"Well, in that case, I'll take this token, and you can bring back all the silver." Von der Lin said.

"Okay, in the future, if Engong needs money, come to me at any time." After Du Qingfeng finished speaking, he didn't linger, and left with his legs.

However, that night, while still asleep, Feng Delin suddenly heard people outside the door shouting and neighing, and there was a great chaos, and dozens of officers and soldiers came.

"Monkey leper!" A leading officer shouted.

"My lord, the villain is here," said the monkey leper with a nod of his head, "what do you command?" ”

"Do you see clearly, the bandits are in this house?"

"Adult, it's not bad at all, the villain saw it with his own eyes!"

"Okay, that's it, fence up, fence up! Don't let the bandits run away! The leading officer and soldier had guns in their hands, torches, and shouted orders.

The officers and soldiers surrounded Feng Delin's house at once.

"Bang dang!" The two officers and soldiers went up and kicked open Feng Delin's door with one kick, and after breaking in, they couldn't help but say that they tied Feng Delin with a rope, and then searched for the Qingfeng token.

"What are you doing? I am a good citizen, why do you want to arrest me? Von Delin shouted.

"Good people? Good people, what do you want this token for? The leading officer and soldier said, "Monkey leper, don't you say that he still has accomplices, what about people?" ”

"Were you still here?" The monkey leper said, "When I went to report it just now, that person was still here, and at this time, he may have left." ”

"Humph! If you run away from the monk, you won't be able to run away from the temple," said the leading officer and soldier, "take him back to the county government and hand him over to the adults for interrogation, and it will be clear when he asks." ”

"I'm a scholar, I'm a good citizen, you can't do this to me." Von der Lin said.

"Don't be verbose, are you a good citizen, you go to the lobby and talk to the adults. Take! ”

The next day, the county magistrate ascended to the court to inquire about the case.

Someone lifted Vanderlin from his prison to the top of the lobby.

"Who's kneeling?" The county magistrate looked down at him.

"Student von der Lin."

"Well, since you call yourself a student, you must also be a scholar, so why do you want to collude with bandits?"

"My lord, I am wronged, student, I just study at home behind closed doors every day, and I have never had any collusion with bandits, please be careful!" Feng Delin hurriedly defended, because he knew that if the collusion with the bandits was confirmed, he would lose his head.

"Since you said that you didn't have any collusion with the bandits, how do you explain this Qingfeng token?"

"I picked it up on the street." Von der Lin said.

"Picked it up on the street?" The county magistrate sneered, "Okay, you Feng Delin, I think you are not honest, come here, bring a witness monkey leper!" ”

At this time, someone brought in the monkey leper from outside.

"Adult, villain, please say hello to Lord Qingtian!" When the monkey leper came in, he fell on the ground like a pug and kowtowed, but he saw that he was ragged, tattered, and dirty.

"Monkey leper, what's your big name?" The county magistrate asked.

"The villain's name is Hou Dashan, because there are more leprosy on his head, so everyone calls me monkey leprosy." The monkey leper pointed his throat and said with a dry smile.

"What kind of profession?"

"The villain is unemployed, and he is not afraid of the jokes of adults, he is the kind who idles around all day long, has nothing to do, and mixes in the casino."

"Tell me, then, what's going on?" The county magistrate said, "Tell the truth, there must be no concealment!" ”

"Yes, Lord Qingtian!" So, the monkey leper said: "Last night, I played money in the casino, but I was lucky, and it didn't take long for me to lose all the money in my hand, I watched on the field for a while, and I felt that it was not interesting, so I went back, planning to go home to sleep, as a result, when I passed by the window of Feng Delin's house, I faintly heard the sound of laughter inside, I thought, so late, who is in their house, and then, I quietly came over. ”

"And then? What did you find? ”

"I found that there was a person at their house, and he took out two packages, one was a thousand taels of silver, and the other was this Qingfeng token."

"Have you looked closely?" The county magistrate asked.

"Back to the words of the master of Qingtian, the villain sees it really, that's right, I thought to myself, isn't this a bandit, I didn't expect this Feng Delin to look sanctimonious, like a decent gentleman, but it turned out to be in collusion with the bandits, so I didn't dare to slack off, so I came to report to the official."

"Feng Delin, you have heard it clearly, there are all human and material evidence, what else do you have to explain?" The county magistrate asked.

"Back to the adult's words, just because this monkey leper, usually does not learn and has no skills, does not do a good job, I have reprimanded him face-to-face, he holds a grudge, waiting for the opportunity to retaliate, he is deliberately framing me, please be aware of it!" Von der Lin said.

"Von der Lin, presumptuous! As a scholar, you should devote yourself to studying the book of Confucius and Mencius, and if you don't think about it, you collude with bandits, gangs, and plots against you, and this is worth it! The facts are in front of you, and you still want to deny them? Who is the one who gave you money and tokens? The county magistrate said, "Why don't you tell the truth quickly?" ”

"No one else, this token was picked up on the street." Von der Lin said.

"Okay, you thief bones, you are dying, and you dare to be hard-mouthed!" The county magistrate said, "Come on, give me twenty slaps, and see if he says nothing." ”

At this time, someone came over and held Feng Delin tightly, took out the board, and hit Feng Delin in the face.

Twenty boards down, Feng Delin's mouth was swollen like steamed buns, and blood flowed down the corners of his mouth.

The monkey leper saw it in his eyes, and he was very relieved and hateful.

"To say or not to say?" The county magistrate asked again.

"My lord, the student has nothing to say." Von Delin said with great difficulty.

"Good! I agree that you are a man, but, Feng Delin, even if you don't say it, just with your token, colluding with the beard, the crime of the gang has been established, and I can still punish you for the death penalty! The county magistrate said, "Come on, put Feng Delin on death row, and behead him after the autumn!" ”
