At the end of the afternoon.

Winter days are short, and the sky is getting dark.

In the inner hall of the county government with the door closed, Song Zhili's voice came: "I can't care about any officials now, even if he enters the cabinet in the future, this Qiu Batian must be killed!" ”

At this moment, there are only two people in the inner hall, Song Zhili and Chen Houlu, because there are too many retinues of Sima Xin and Cai Jin, the county guard, they do not live in the county office, but stay in a nearby inn.

"Yes," Chen Houlu said with a pale face and trembling, "Since the Holy Lord personally interrogated about this case, the servant of the Ministry of Officials must not dare to make a mistake, no wonder, he had already spread the word that he had already broken off his relationship with Qiu Batian!" ”

"Indeed," Song Zhili nodded, "I guess the servants of the Ministry are also sitting on pins and needles like us now, right?" It is impossible for the Holy Lord not to know about his relationship with Qiu Batian, and it may affect his entry into the cabinet. ”

"Lord Song, since the big event has been decided, we don't have to worry about the servants of the ministry, so you see...... My resignation ......"

Unexpectedly, Chen Houlu was still thinking about retirement.

"No problem," Song Zhili had already taken a countermeasure, and immediately said, "As soon as Qiu Batian's case is finished, I will sign!" ”

"This ......" Chen Houlu suddenly grinned, probably scolding the street in his heart.

"Chen Xiancheng, I told you before," Song Zhili said, "I'm fine, everyone will be fine!" If something happens to me, even if you kill you, do you think you can get out of it? So ......"

Who knows, before Song Zhili finished speaking, they suddenly heard a commotion outside.

"Huh?" Song Zhili listened quietly, and the voice should come from the direction of the public hall.

"Alas!" Chen Houlu sighed, "What's the trouble? Can't you just stop for a while? ”

"Someone...... Hmm......" Song Zhili just wanted to send someone to take a look, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was safer to go out and have a look by himself.

So, he and Chen Houlu came to the court one after the other.

As soon as they entered, they saw an extremely chaotic scene, but they saw that six or seven catchers, under the leadership of Cheng Xiao, were chaining the monk before.

On the other side, Shen Yu and Fu Bin were carrying a person wearing a white brocade coat on a stretcher, and the person looked dying.

In addition, some people hurriedly ran out, saying that they were looking for Lang Zhong.

Immediately afterwards, I saw a newspaper official hurrying to the inner hall, as if he had come to report it, but he happened to bump into two adults.

"Lord Song, Lord Chen," the official hurriedly said, "come and take a look!" Something happened again! Something happened again! ”

Hearing this, Song Zhili and Chen Houlu both frowned, the last thing they wanted to hear was the word "accident".

Whoa......

With the sound of chains, the monk was already chained.

In the process, he did not resist at all, his eyes did not even open, he just stopped chanting the beads.

"Hey, this monk hasn't left yet," Chen Houlu hurriedly asked, "What are you locking him up?" ”

When he was questioned, the man in white on the stretcher happened to pass in front of Chen Houlu, and Chen Houlu was startled when he saw it.

"Who is this ......," he asked, in amazement?" His eyes, oops, his hands...... What's wrong with him? ”

Song Zhili stepped forward quickly when he heard this, and was also taken aback by the tragic situation of this injured person.

"Chen Xiancheng," Lao Duan hurriedly came up to introduce, "You don't recognize it, this is our former Tong County Order in Yanping County?" ”

"What?" Chen Houlu took a closer look, and then he recognized it, "Oh, it's really a Tong County Order!" He...... Isn't he in Shangzhou? ”

Chen Houlu has been a county magistrate in Yanping County for almost all his life, so he naturally recognizes this Tong County Commander.

Since this person was Song Zhili's last county magistrate, Song Zhili had only heard his name, but had never seen him.

However, seeing Tong County's order fall so miserably, he was naturally very shocked.

At this time, the headhunter Cheng Xiao hurriedly came over and told the two adults the ins and outs of the whole thing.

Chen Houlu's reaction was the same as Xu Zhen's, and he immediately said: "This monk, shouldn't he kidnap Tong Xian Ling from Shangzhou?" What kind of blood feud is this? ”

Song Zhili looked at the dying Tong County Order and asked, "How is he now?" ”

"I've already sent someone to find Lang Zhong," Cheng Xiao replied, "but it doesn't look good, I guess...... It won't last long! ”

Hearing this, Song Zhili thought for a moment, then walked up to the monk and asked, "Monk, the anagram game is over." Since you have turned yourself in, tell us all about your crimes! Why do you want to brutalize Tong County Order so much? ”

There was silence in the lobby, and everyone was waiting for the monk to answer.

However, the monk remained deaf and unresponsive.

"It's okay," Song Zhili said again, "If you have any grievances, then just tell them, maybe this official will make the decision for you?" ”

Unexpectedly, after saying this, the monk finally opened his eyes.

The monk's eyes were still so fierce, he looked at Song Zhili, and said two words softly: "The horse is long, the fish is short." ”

As soon as the two nouns came out, everyone was instantly nervous, and Song Zhili's face also changed.

"The horse is long, the fish is short."

As a result, the monk repeated it again.

This time, Song Zhili was even more sure that this should be another anagram given to them by the monk.

If it's a crossword puzzle, could it be that there are other victims?

Boom......

At this moment, Cheng Xiao's clenched fists rattled, and it was obvious that the monk's behavior had completely exhausted Cheng Xiao's patience.

"Monk!" Sure enough, he raised his hand and grabbed the monk's collar, lifted him from the ground, and threatened, "I read that you are a monk, and I have repeatedly tolerated you, but you have to inch in, what do you think of the yamen?" Do you think that if you don't make it clear, we can't do anything about you? ”

"That's it," an old catcher quickly chimed in, "This is not a place to play word games, Cheng Zhutou, what are we waiting for, hurry up and pull him into the prison, and serve him with great punishment, right?" ”

At this moment, Song Zhili stood aside coldly, without any intention of stopping.

He also wanted to see, what was the reaction of this monk?

"Amitabha," the monk said the Buddha's name and sneered, "you will understand sooner or later, but if you dare to touch a finger of mine, you will definitely regret it!" ”

"Okay," Cheng Xiao raised his fist, "I want to see if I regret it!" ”

As he spoke, he punched the monk in the face.

Cheng Xiao shot quickly and with great strength, and with just one punch, he beat the monk to the corner of his mouth with blood.

However, after the monk was beaten, instead of showing pain, he burst out laughing.

"Hahaha...... Hahaha......"

The laughter was shrill and sharp, and everyone was uncomfortable to hear.

"I'll make you laugh!" Cheng Xiao swung his fist again, ready to fight.

"Slow!" This time, Song Zhili still stopped him.

There is no way, Song Zhili has already suffered too many losses before, he is afraid that this monk is also a pit, if he pits himself again, then he will not live!

"Monk," Song Zhili persuaded the monk, "why are you suffering?" If you have any grievances, why should you suffer from flesh and skin? ”

"This is an empty skin, so why do you have the pain of flesh and skin?" The monk looked at Song Zhili with an evil look in his eyes and said, "Lord Song, the game has just begun, and the excitement is still to come!"

"If you break the rules in advance, it's really too late to regret it!"

"You ......"

Although Song Zhili was so angry that the roots of his teeth itched, he had to say that the monk's words still frightened him, after all, the tragic situation of Tong County Ling was just around the corner, who knew what other plans he had?

"Okay, then the official wants to see, how capable you are?" Song Zhili waved his hand at Cheng Xiao and said, "Let's put him in prison first!" ”

"Yes!" Cheng Xiao immediately sent someone to escort the monk away.

But just as he was escorting away, Xu Zhen suddenly came to the monk's side and asked, "There is a racecourse street in Yanping County, you just said that Ma Chang, you should be referring to there, right?" ”

The monk smiled coldly, noncommittal, and not long after, he was pushed and taken away by the arrestees......
