Less leaning, Wan Jianfeng came to the county yamen.

He looked at the drum in front of the door, and then looked at the solemn and magnificent county hall, his footsteps slowly slowed down, and thought, "Seeing that the pedestrians on the street are panicked like that, it is true that the little witch kills people, if this young man rashly beats the drum at this moment, I am afraid that not only will he not be able to save people, but he will also be recognized as the same party and taken down, so we will have fun together." ”

Wan Jianfeng looked at the county yakuni for a moment with some reluctance, and lost his mind for a while. But it was not a problem to stand stupidly like this at the entrance of the yamen, and he was about to turn around and leave after a moment's thought. But suddenly I heard the laughter of three or four officials behind him, and one of them said, "Brothers, this month's regular money has come down, do you want to go to the restaurant for a few drinks together?" ”

Another official smiled bitterly, "Lao Ji, we arrested a lot of people some time ago, but before we could squeeze out the oil and water, we were all ordered to release them by the adult." I finally caught a murderer today, but she doesn't look like a rich lord, and she can't squeeze a few drops of oil and water, just our little money, it's barely enough to fill her stomach, how can she have spare money to go to a restaurant? ”

The official who was called Lao Ji patted his chest and said, "It's okay, as long as the brothers want to drink tea, I will pay for the tea, and I will never ask you to take out a copper plate!" ”

Several officials listened to his words, and suddenly came to their senses, and hugged Lao Ji towards the restaurant like stars holding the moon. Wan Jianfeng's face was still full of gloom, and after listening to the words of these officials at this moment, the gloom on his face instantly dissipated, revealing a bright smile.

After a while, Wan Jianfeng rode back to the old store of the Gao family.

As soon as he entered the store, he saw the old shopkeeper pacing nervously inside and outside the house. Seeing this, Wan Jianfeng had already guessed six or seven points, and pretended to be frustrated: "Uncle, my companion is a violent temper, and after listening to your words, he actually killed Yuan Gongzi on the street, and now he has been taken down by the government." If the magistrate is promoted to ask the case, I'm afraid that you and I won't be able to get out of it. ”

The old shopkeeper saw that it was Wan Jianfeng, his nose was sore, and he almost cried, "Shaoxia, the little old man repeatedly advised that girl, Yuan Gongzi couldn't be provoked, but she just didn't listen!" If the magistrate is promoted to the court, she really confesses the little old man, relying on the relationship between the magistrate and Yuan Gongzi, even if she does not set the little old man as the same party, at least she will say that this matter was instigated by the little old man, if the little old man is in the lobby at this age, he will lose his skin if he does not die! ”

Wan Jianfeng pondered for a moment and said, "Uncle, it's been an hour since the incident, and the official hasn't come to pass you yet, so presumably you can hide today." But as the saying goes, 'if you can hide from the first day of junior high school, you can't hide from the fifteenth', if you want to be unimplicated in this matter in this life, you must find a way to make my companion unable to confess to the county government for the rest of his life, so that he can be foolproof. ”

The old shopkeeper said nervously when he heard this: "Young man, do you want to ......" He said with his hand between the necks, making a killing gesture.

Wan Jianfeng shook his head and said with a smile: "This young man was fortunate to have the guidance of a master, and he knew some spells roughly, and he could rescue my companion without much effort, if she was rescued, she would naturally not give us all out." It's just that the incident happened suddenly, and Ben Shaoxia lacks some application things at hand, I wonder if the old man is willing to help Ben Shaoxia find it? ”

The old shopkeeper glanced at Wan Jianfeng in surprise, and then kept nodding, "What does the young man need, Xiao Lao'er must try to help you find it." ”

Wan Jianfeng saw that the old shopkeeper was following his way, and he snickered in his heart. and deliberately pretended to say: "This young man doesn't need anything else, just a jar of water and half a basket of rotten fruit." ”

The old shopkeeper had heard of the battle of the master's practice before, but the legendary master used candles, yellow table paper, peach wood swords and other magic weapons, but he had never heard of a master who only needed water and rotten fruit when opening the altar. But he saw Wan Jianfeng's serious appearance, not like he was joking, so he simply stopped doubting it and immediately went straight to the kitchen.

Soon, the old shopkeeper walked out with a jar of clear water and half a basket of rotten pears, he put these things on the counter, and looked at Wan Jianfeng with relief. Wan Jianfeng saw that most of the rotten pears in the basket had softened and turned black, and from time to time there were bursts of strong sourness and wine, which attracted countless fruit flies to circle and dance.

Wan Jianfeng nodded with satisfaction, "Uncle, please pick out these rotten pears and pour all the juice into this jar of clear water." The old shopkeeper listened to Wan Jianfeng's words, and felt more and more in the clouds, but thinking about the master's determination and common sense, he picked up the water and rotten pears and went to the kitchen.

After another moment, the old shopkeeper walked out again with the jar in his hand, and the originally clear jar of clear water had now turned into a thick pulp with rotten pear juice. He put this jar of muddy slurry in front of Wan Jianfeng, and Wan Jianfeng didn't need to lie down to the mouth of the altar to smell a strong smell of wine, but it was much inferior to the normal smell of fine wine.

Wan Jianfeng took the jar of muddy pulp with a smile, smiled at the old man with great satisfaction, and reached into his arms with some reluctance, and took out five copper plates, "Uncle, this young man is very tight, you can take these five copper plates, and you should be a thank you gift." ”

The old shopkeeper hurriedly waved his hand, "Young man, your companion killed the bully Yuan Gongzi in addition to the harm to the people of our city, how can we collect your money again?" Besides, you want this muddy pulp for the little old man, but also to save the little old man from the pain of passing through the court, and if you want to send it, I will give you some money! ”

Wan Jianfeng was no longer polite when he heard this, took the copper plate back into his arms, and arched his hand towards the old shopkeeper, "Thank you, old man, this young man will go and resolve this lawsuit." Saying that, without further delay, he chased straight in the direction of the restaurant where the gang of servants had just gone.

Wan Jianfeng rode around the street on a donkey, and finally stopped in front of a restaurant, and through the open door, he saw that the servants were drinking tea in the hall. While drinking tea, these people kept sighing, Lao Ji raised the teacup and sighed: "Brothers, when Yuan Gongzi was alive in the past, he drove away all the people in the city who knew how to make wine, and many of them fled overnight, will the wine that can't be taken away from the store be hidden by them?" Now that Yuan Gongzi is dead, it is better to catch up with our brothers on an errand one day and go to those wine shops to rummage. ”

Another official pinched his fingers and calculated, and said with a wry smile: "Yuan Gongzi has been rampant and domineering here for several years, even if there is still wine in the city, I'm afraid it will be rancid." ”

Lao Ji waved his hand and said: "Rancid is also wine, it's better than drinking tea, I'm about to fade out of my mouth!" I really hope that there will be a jar of wine in front of me now, even if it is already rancid, I will drink it in my old season! ”

Several other officials smiled when they heard this, "Old Ji, I haven't seen anyone as gluttonous as you!" If you are willing to drink the wine, you can drink it alone, and we brothers will be satisfied if we can have a cup of tea. A few people said as they picked up their teacups and continued to taste the tea slowly.

Wan Jianfeng listened to Lao Ji's words, looked at the jar in his hand again, and laughed evilly. He no longer hesitated, quickly tied the donkey to the door of the restaurant, and strode in with the jar in his hand.

As soon as he entered the door, a young man hurriedly greeted him, and said with a smile on his face: "Guest officer, there are three copper plates for a pot of white water and twenty copper plates for a pot of good tea in the shop, I don't know what you want to drink?" ”

Wan Jianfeng gently patted the jar in his hand, and deliberately said loudly: "Ben Shaoxia still has the only remaining jar of fruit wine, so I won't order it, just bring me a roast chicken, and then a dish of melon seeds." ”

The guy smelled that there was really a burst of wine in the jar, but the taste of this wine was very special, much worse than ordinary wine, and he couldn't help laughing: "Guest officer, your wine is rancid, if you eat it badly, don't come to the trouble of the small shop, don't blame the little one for not reminding you." ”

Wan Jianfeng sat down at the table diagonally opposite several officials, and said impatiently: "Little Er, Ben Shaoxia is hungry, don't make noise here, quickly bring food to Ben Shaoxia!" ”

The guy glanced at the wine jar in Wan Jianfeng's arms again, smiled bitterly, didn't say anything more, and went straight to the kitchen to prepare food. When Wan Jianfeng saw him leaving, he couldn't wait to open the seal, picked up the muddy pulp in the jar and was about to pour it into his mouth.

When the officials smelled this smell, most of them pinched their noses, and only Lao Ji walked towards Wan Jianfeng like a treasure. He patted Wan Jianfeng on the shoulder and said with a smile: "This brother, is it really fruit wine in your altar?" I wonder if you can let me eat a few bowls? ”

Wan Jianfeng glanced at Lao Ji vigilantly, hugged the jar in his arms, and refused to let Lao Ji take another look. Seeing this, Lao Ji smiled and said, "Brother, I'm also a good drinker, just let me eat a few bowls." ”

"No way!" Wan Jianfeng said solemnly: "This jar of fruit wine was treasured by me at risk, and now that the bully is dead, I dare to take it out and drink it." Now it's not the only altar in the city, it's almost the same, let's meet in Pingshui, why should I bring it to you to drink? ”
