Chapter 282: Collecting Debts One by One
"Junjiang County, it's been a long time coming!"
In the sky, the light rain was dripping, and it was still falling, and there were few people on the streets, and the occasional pedestrian with umbrellas was also hurried over.
Chen Ke looked at this familiar and unfamiliar Junjiang County, and couldn't help but think of the time when he followed Sister-in-law Qin to the capital.
Chen Ke held Xiao Jiu, and Xiao Jiu held an umbrella. Followed by Xie Hongfei and Hu Xiaoxue, each of them with an umbrella, walking behind Chen Ke. Hu Xiaoxue is on Chen Ke's left, and Xie Hongfei is on Chen Ke's right.
"Adult, the villain knows the magistrate of Junjiang County." When Chen Ke heard it, he remembered that the magistrate of Junjiang County at that time seemed to know some news about the people with cross tattoos.
It's just that the county magistrate pretended to be stupid and stunned, and he didn't tell Chen Ke the identity of the real murderer.
"Since you know, let's go and meet him." Chen Ke said.
"Yes!"
Xie Hongfei responded.
The group went to the yamen, came to the yamen, two officials leaned against the door, napping, this kind of small county, except for the death case, basically no one came to report to the official, because to report to the official, pay the money first.
If you don't have money, how can you let the old man go to court!
Chen Ke didn't care about the two sleeping officials, and walked directly to the half-open door of the yamen, Xie Hongfei saw this, and hurriedly followed, Hu Xiaoxue glanced at the two officials, snorted coldly, and strode in together.
The two officials were still asleep, unaware that someone had already walked into the yamen.
Chen Ke crossed the front hall with Xiao Jiu in his arms and walked to the back hall, the front hall is the place where the county office is located, and the back hall is the area where the county lives and lives.
After coming once, Chen Ke also had some impressions of the Junjiang County Ya, and went directly to the back hall.
In the back hall, the shiny Zhixian sat on the bamboo chair, leaning leisurely, with a small table beside him, a plate of oil, salt and peanuts, a plate of cold pork ears, a pot of wine, and a pair of chopsticks.
Zhixian watched the rain fall, pinched a peanut with his hand from time to time, put it in his mouth, closed his eyes, shook his head and hummed a few words.
"Life is free, racing over immortals. Even if you give me the emperor's seat, I won't change it! ”
Zhixian picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and shook his head again, which was very comfortable!
Chen Ke walked over from the full moon gate outside with Xiao Jiu in his arms, and when he saw that Zhixian was so comfortable, he said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, does the county magistrate still remember me?" ”
"You?" The magistrate frowned slightly, how did the stranger come in secretly, but no one informed him, the two bastards guarding the door were lazy again!
Zhixian looked at Chen Ke carefully, he was young, he was handsome, and his temperament was like that of a son and brother of a big family, and he didn't look like an ordinary character.
The young man was holding a very beautiful and cute little girl, followed by two people, one of whom knew each other, and when he saw Xie Hongfei, the county commander was shocked.
As for Hu Xiaoxue at the back, the county order just looked at it, and then didn't look at it anymore.
The girl of a big family, you can't look around, who knows if it's the son's ban?
"Childe looks familiar, but the old man has tried too many cases, and he forgot the identity of the son for a while, I hope you will forgive me." The county magistrate said with a smile, but he still leaned on the bamboo chair and did not mean to get up to greet Chen Ke. For Xie Hongfei, the county order is more like he doesn't know.
Chen Ke said with a smile: "Let me remind you, last summer, I came with Sister-in-law Qin to report the case. ”
The county commander's eyes narrowed slightly, and he remembered that it was that person!
"You ......" The county magistrate saw Xie Hongfei and thought of Chen Ke's grievances, and was suddenly a little surprised that Chen Ke was actually with this group of people.
"Lord Prefectural, forget me." Xie Hongfei walked over with a smile and took out a bamboo chair from the side, "Please sit down." ”
Chen Ke walked to the bottom of the cloister and sat on the bamboo chair, feeling that he was the master of the county government.
The county commander frowned slightly at this moment, and he was a little panicked in his heart, he didn't want to face the group of people in Ansheng Palace, but why did these people always come to him.
"My lord is really a noble person who forgets things, I reported the case to the adult, but the adult didn't answer, and now I have to find their person and bring it to the adult." Chen Ke said with a smile.
Xiao Jiu put away the umbrella, sat on Chen Ke's lap, looked at the dishes of the county order, and smiled.
Xie Hongfei immediately put out the food box in his hand, picked up the dishes of the county order, and threw them on the ground in the distance.
"You!"
The county commander was a little angry, and wanted to hit Xie Hongfei's identity, but calmed down again.
"What does Childe want, I can't afford to mess with them, since Childe has also joined them, let's live a good life." The prefectural order said.
Chen Ke said with a smile: "I just want to know how much the county magistrate knows about the original group of people. ”
The person who slaughtered the village was Zhao Jiachu, but not only Zhao Jiachu, but there should also be other people, maybe this county magistrate of Junjiang County knew the traces of the rest of the people.
The county commander frowned and said, "You're not from theirs?" ”
"It's not." Chen Ke shook his head and said.
"Then he ......" the county magistrate Yu Guang gestured to Xie Hongfei's body.
"The debtor, but not the debtor to me, I just let him lead the way and help me find my debtor!" Chen Ke said lightly.
"Understood." Although the county order looks like a straw bale, the person who can remain unchanged in Junjiang County for 20 years is not a fool.
"What do you want to know?" The county magistrate didn't know Chen Ke's identity, but when he saw that Chen Ke could subdue an immortal Dao person like Xie Hongfei, he knew that Chen Ke was not an ordinary person.
He can't afford to mess with the cross tattoo, and he can't afford to mess with Chen Ke.
"Do you know everything about the cultivator village that was slaughtered in Sanyin County?" Chen Ke asked the county order.
The county magistrate nodded and said, "I know some, but it's not comprehensive." ”
"Let's talk about it." Chen Ke said.
"Yes." The county commander nodded, "At the beginning, the people with cross tattoos in Ansheng Palace came to me, they called themselves Qingdao guards, and asked me if there were any cultivators who could make trouble during my reign, I had already heard of the murderous name of cross tattoos, and I didn't want to deal with them, so I could only shirk it." Later, the group went to San'in County, and heard that there were many cultivators in San'in County, and they were killed by them. ”
"It's just that there was a big flood, and Shanyin County became a big river, and many of the Qingdao guards were drowned, and the Qingdao guards also asked me to send soldiers to help them find people......
The county magistrate said what happened at that time, and he had dealt with the people of Ansheng Palace many times, because this is the border of the country, there are many cultivators, and the people with cross tattoos are very active.
"In addition to Zhao Jiachu, do you remember how many people went to Shanyin County?" Chen Ke asked.
The county commander said: "I remember the faces of four or five people, but my status is low, and I dare not ask about their names." ”
"And you're of no use?" Chen Ke said lightly.
The county magistrate thought that Chen Ke was going to kill him, so he hurriedly said: "I am familiar with gongbi, and I can draw the appearance of those people for Gongzi." ”
"Oh, please bother the county magistrate." Chen Ke smiled.
"You're welcome, as it should be. At that time, I was not in a position to help you, and now I can only do a small part. The county magistrate smiled.
"It's a small amount of power, indeed." Chen Ke said.
The county order was suddenly suffocated, so he could only turn around and look for a paintbrush, and Hu Xiaoxue took the initiative to follow.
"Why are you going?" Chen Ke asked.
Hu Xiaoxue said: "I'll monitor him for you and don't let him escape." ”
After hearing this, the county order felt a chill behind his back, he did have this kind of thought, so he could only smile and say: "The girl is smiling, where can I escape with my old arms and legs!" ”
Finding a paintbrush, the county magistrate spent seven pictures for Chen Ke, and he said: "These seven people I saw by chance, when they came back from Jiangyin, they were embarrassed, and they didn't wear a face towel, and I wrote them down." ”
Chen Ke put away the drawing paper and said, "Thank you for the county order, don't leave it at that." ”
Chen Ke got up with Xiao Jiu in his arms, Xiao Jiu held up an oil-paper umbrella and walked into the rain with Chen Ke. Xie Hongfei glanced at the county order, then put away the food box and followed with an umbrella.
Hu Xiaoxue left last.
The county commander touched the cold sweat on his head and said, "Why did he come back?" I thought he was going to die in the capital. It seems that Ansheng Palace has provoked an enemy that cannot be provoked, haha, not bad, not bad......"
At the beginning, he was also a Qing official, he first entered the officialdom, redressed the grievances of the people, and provoked powerful figures, so he was assigned to this small city, which was muddy and nightmarish, and was repeatedly oppressed by Ansheng Palace.
Now seeing that some people are rebelling against Ansheng Palace, the county commander is happy in his heart, walks into the rain, picks up the wine jug that fell in the dirt, and takes a few sips of wine through the rain.
"Hahaha...... If it weren't for their oppression, this county would be like that dragon road, an incorruptible official, haha......"
The rain was still falling, and Chen Ke took Xiao Jiu on the road.
"Do you know the nearest Anshenggong stronghold?" Chen Ke asked Xie Hongfei.
Xie Hongfei said: "I know one place." ”
"Take me there."
Chen Ke said.
Xie Hongfei took Chen Ke to the stronghold of Ansheng Palace, which was not outside the city, but in the city.
A gambling house, even if it rains, is still full of people, and it is much more lively than other places.
People in robes came in and out, some with ecstasy on their faces, and others with mourning.
"Childe, come and play?"
At the door of the gambling house, the two little guys greeted Chen Ke with a smile, and when they saw Chen Ke's brocade clothes and jade belt, they knew that Chen Ke was not an ordinary person.
"No, come and find someone." Chen Ke said lightly.
The little guy asked casually: "Who are you looking for?" ”
"Ansheng Palace, Qingdao Guard."
Chen Ke's voice was not loud, but it made the two little guys a little confused, and a burly man sitting in the village inside, with a sharp light in his eyes, looked at the door of the gambling house.
"Childe is in the wrong place, we don't know what Ansheng Palace Qingdao Guard is." Dahan said with a smile.
"Poof!"
The big man's head moved from his body and fell to the ground, blood spurting three feet high.
This scene suddenly shocked the people in the gambling house, and the gamblers who were originally confused woke up one by one like a dream, and they were all frightened and stunned in place.
"Cross tattoo, dare you lie to me?"
