After a while, the owner of the village came, a man of five big and three thick, wearing a silk white robe, a red cloth belt around his waist, a square face and big ears, looking powerful. He looked at Yin Manyuan, who was dressed in an official uniform and had a serious face, and said that the little owner was far away. It's just that we don't know what case happened in Luzhuang, so I ask the county magistrate to forgive me.

Do you have a woman named Lingxiang in Luzhuang? Yin Manyuan asked straight to the point.

Ah! County master, Lingxiang is my woman, she is the daughter of a nearby horse member, she is knowledgeable, safe and disciplined, she won't make any mistakes, right? The owner was very frightened in his heart, but he had to calmly flaunt that she was a good person in front of the magistrate.

What is your name? Yin Manyuan waved the horsewhip in his hand and pointed at him and asked.

Hehe, my name is Lu Hu, I am the owner of Lu Jiazhuang, the county master, I was offended and failed to report it in time. Lu Hu said, making a hunched back movement, feeling uncomfortable in his heart.

Master Lu, if you say that your woman did not make a mistake, that means that you have made a mistake or a crime. Yin Manyuan remembered that the water ghost Qiwu said that the water ghost Jianming was dragged to the Moon River by his friend Lu Hu for some reason and drowned, and now he was facing the number, so he deliberately pointed it out.

Alas, county lord, don't be kidding. In our Lu Jiazhuang, not only Lu Hu will not make mistakes and crimes, but even the people here will not make mistakes and crimes, they are all good citizens who are not bad under the discipline of the Lu family's etiquette. Lu Hu praised himself and said a lot, Yin Manyuan listened unwillingly, but said in a commanding tone, Master Lu Zhuang, call your woman to ask me for questioning.

County master, I'm very embarrassed, Lingxiang went back to her parents' house today. Lu Hu lied, he was already sensitively aware of the fact that he drowned his friend who was not guilty of death in the Moon River, it was unknowing, could it be that Yin Zhixian had a clue and grabbed it? His heart pounded.

All right! One day of grace, tomorrow morning, you send Lingxiang to the county office, and I will wait in the court. In case of delay, you will be responsible for the consequences. Yin Manyuan threw down a sentence and led a group of officials to catch the head and spur the horse away.

Lu Hu returned home, with a sad face, looked at his wife who was sitting on the chair in the hall and said, Lingxiang, it's terrible, the newly appointed dog official in this county, Yin Zhixian, probably knows about it. Lingxiang became nervous, she stopped what she was doing and asked, what's the matter? Lu Hu made a motion of pressing the water, and then said, It's not the Moon River, it should be unaware and unaware, I guess you won't say it, and I will definitely not say it, that dog official seems to smell something.

Lingxiang's mind suddenly came to the scene of her husband drowning her lover in the Moon River. It was a dark and windy night, she carried a lantern to her husband as a companion, it should be said that the couple murdered him, for many years, it was peaceful, no one mentioned it, it was because no outsiders knew about it. Thinking of this, she said, Lu Lang, what's so scary, no one sees it anyway, even if that dog officer suspects you, there is no evidence, if you don't admit it, what will he do to you?

Lu Hu kept shaking his head and said Lingxiang, you know, after all, I pressed people into the river and drowned. If that dog officer arrests me and tortures me, I can't stand the pain of flesh and skin, and I will say it. What's even more terrifying is that the dog officer wants me to take you to the Yamen Court tomorrow morning to question you. Today he rode a tall horse past the village and asked me to call you out, I lied, saying that you went to your mother's house and was not in the village, so he let me go. I won't be able to escape tomorrow!

Hearing this, Lingxiang was worried at first, and then had an idea. She said, Lu Lang, I still won't go tomorrow, you go, don't go empty-handed, bring a hundred taels of silver to the magistrate, saying that this is a little bit of the heart of the people of Lu Zhuang. If the magistrate asks about me, you will continue to lie and say that I didn't reply yesterday. Then ask the magistrate, what is the matter with Ma Lingxiang looking for me?

Lu Hu said, this is a good idea, I might as well try it. Of course, Lu Hu was not very happy in his heart, mainly because he was reluctant to give up a hundred taels of silver, but on the other hand, it was worth it to buy a peace!

The next morning, on the Yamen Court of Shapo County, Yin Manyuan, who was dressed in an official robe, sat there, waiting for Lu Hu to bring his wife Lingxiang to take a look, but after waiting for half an hour, he couldn't see anyone, and there was a nameless fire in his heart. Another day, I will detain you and your wife Lingxiang together, and find out the murder that happened in Moon River, and see if I don't put you Lu Hu on death row.

Suddenly, the official came in to report that there was a man outside the yamen who claimed to be the owner of Lujiazhuang and asked to see the lord of Zhixian. Yin Manyuan frowned and asked, is it just the owner of Lu Zhuang? The official said, "The owner of Lu Zhuang is alone." Yin Manyuan waved his hand and said no. The official was turning to withdraw, and Yin Manyuan got up again and said loudly, "See, tie up the lord of Lu Zhuang with a rope to see me."

After a while, he heard shouting outside the yamen that he was wronged, and then Hu Zhutou and his gang tied up Lu Hu and escorted him to the public court, and ordered him to kneel. Yin Manyuan slapped the shocked wood and said sharply, what did you wrong? You are murdered, and you dare to claim that you are wronged?

Lord Zhixian, don't talk nonsense! What murder did I commit? Isn't that a great injustice? Lu Hu said sharply.

Hu Zhutou and others also felt inexplicable, they hadn't heard of any murder committed by Lu Hu, if he really committed a murder, Hu Zhutou should have been the first to know.

Hu Zhutou, this official ordered you to prepare a horse to Lujiazhuang to arrest Ma Lingxiang for questioning now. Yin Manyuan gestured while talking.

Be! Hu Zhutou bowed his hand and left.

At this time, Lu Hu said tremblingly, Yin Zhixian, quickly order to loosen the tie with me! I, Lu Hu, are indeed good citizens, including the people of my Lu Jiazhuang. I heard that you have taken up a new post in our Shapo County, and in order to support your work, the people of Luzhuang also donated 100 taels of silver for me to bring to the Yamen, which is also to support you Yin Zhi County Council Governor, but your Yin Zhi County misinterpreted my good intentions.

Several officials found that his waist was bulging, and estimated that the hundred taels of silver were placed in it. At this time, Yin Manyuan said, don't talk about donating silver now, and after arresting your wife and trying the case, I will decide whether to loosen your bonds.

Wronged! Treat unjustly. Lu Hu was anxious and kept yelling.

If you make any more noise, I'll let the guards plug your mouth with strips of cloth. Yin Manyuan said solemnly.

Lu Hu was much more honest, and he stood and stopped talking.

A few days later, one of the two water ghosts in the Moon River was happy and the other was depressed, the happy one was Jianming, and the depressed one was Qiwu. That was because Yin Manyuan, the magistrate of Shapo County, ordered a cadre of officials to go down to this river to search for Jianming's bones in order to find evidence that Lu Hu drowned Jianming, which can be said to be to redress Ming's grievances, and Jianming was of course happy.

He also knew that he had an affair with Ma Lingxiang and was caught raping and arrested, and under normal circumstances, he could be beaten violently, or handed over to the patriarch for family law treatment, or escorted to the government for punishment, in short, there was no crime of death.

However, what made him frown was that the officials went down to the river and did not find his bones, but only salvaged the bones of Qiwu who were pressed under the millstone in the riverbed, and claimed to be his bones. The bones and flesh were gone, and they were all eaten by the fish, leaving only a skeleton. used this as evidence to torture Lu Hu and make him admit that this was evidence that he had drowned his adulterer in private.

After he was imprisoned, he was put on death row. And it was clear that his body had been washed to the lower reaches of the Moon River by the waves of the river because it was not fixed, and no one had found it, and the body was highly decomposed, and then it was also eaten by the fish in the aquarium, and only a handful of bones sank in the mud and sand at the bottom of the river, and no one knows about it so far.

Seeing that he didn't care about it, he thought about it, people always have to die, even if the body is filled with a coffin, it will still be empty in the end, and the only immortal thing after death is the soul.

Although Yin Zhixian caught the enemy who killed Jianming and sentenced him to beheading, which can be regarded as revenge, Jianming is not grateful to Yin Zhixian. He knew that Yin Zhixian ordered the arrest of Lu Hu because the drunkard did not mean to drink, but to care about women. Lu Hu's wife, Ma Lingxiang, was born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and her skin was as white as snow, and she was beautiful.

Yin Zhixian was drunk when he saw it, and secretly made up his mind that such a beautiful woman would not snatch it over, and she would be a county magistrate in vain. But the robbery is done by the bully, and as the magistrate, he has his own so-called justified means. That is to arrest Lu Hu and Ma Lingxiang and his wife together, and detain them in different prison numbers, just like a game of chess, he has to go down step by step until he eats Lu Hu's chess piece, and then logically obtains the loot he has coveted for a long time - Ma Lingxiang.
