Zhu said that he was very polite, but his expression was like a smile and said: "In Xia Zhu said, I have seen Jiang Zhutou." ”

Jiang Hong said: "Zhu said? I haven't heard of it, this is the office of the yamen, and the idlers are waiting to leave quickly. ”

Regarding Jiang Hong's reminder, Zhu said that he didn't care, and said, "What if I don't leave?" ”

Jiang Hong stood in front of Zhu Shuo with a straight chest and said, "Then I have to send you away." ”

Facing the imposing Jiang Hong, Zhu said: "Jiang Zhutou is so generous." It's just that Jiang Zhutou didn't ask clearly, am I an idle person? Zhu said and looked at Jiang Zhixian on the side.

Jiang Zhixian said: "Yes, Ah Hong! In case of trouble, you have to ask clearly, this is the master I recruited, Zhu said Mr. Zhu. ”

Jiang Hong muttered in a low voice, "What are your skills?" is also called a gentleman, thinking that he is Zhuge Kongming. ”

Jiang Zhixian hurriedly said, "Master Zhu, what did you mean by what you said just now?" ”

Zhu said: "If the predecessors don't leave, how can the descendants come?" Then he glanced at Jiang Hong.

When Jiang Hong heard this, he thought that Zhu would say this and then talk about his uncle Jiang Zhixian, so he asked rhetorically: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Zhu said: "Jiang Zhutou, what are you excited about? I'm talking about the prefect of the county. The original magistrate is not dead, how can the prefect come here? ”

Jiang Zhixian said: "What Master Zhu means, the death of the previous magistrate is related to the previous magistrate. ”

Zhu said: "It's not clear whether there is a pass or not, but I think everyone present knows what the magistrate has done since he took office." ”

The officials who were checking the household registration in the household registration office all lowered their heads and remained silent, as if they hadn't heard them. Zhu Shuo glanced at it, and saw Hua Feng staring at Zhang Xiaohai's information, so he walked in front of Hua Feng and said, "This gentleman seems to have discovered something." ”

Hua Feng nodded and said, "This Zhang Xiaohai, I seem to have some clues. ”

When Jiang Hong heard this, he pushed Zhu Shuo aside and said, "Oh? Vice President of China, please speak. Seeing this, Jiang Zhixian glared at Jiang Hong. But Zhu said he didn't seem to care.

Hua Feng said: "There is a Qingfeng gang in Shaanxi, and one of them is named Zhang Xiaohai, who seems to be from Xinyang. Later, something happened, and he left the Qingfeng Gang, and he has not been seen since. In other words, one of the purposes of my trip was to be commissioned to find this man. ”

Zhu said, "Then have you seen what he looks like?" ”

Hua Feng said: "I haven't seen anyone else, but as far as I know, his appearance is very consistent with the appearance on this household registration file, and I wonder if they will be alone." It's a pity that we now have too few clues in our hands. ”

Jiang Hong immediately remembered that he had surrendered a weapon a few days ago, so he said: "Deputy Alliance Leader Hua, a few days ago, when we were arresting bandits, we surrendered a weapon, I wonder if you can take a look?" ”

"Weapons? All right. Hua Feng said.

Jiang Hong said: "Then let's leave now." ”

Zhu said at this time: "Wait. ”

Jiang Hong said angrily: "Where did you come from so many things? ”

Zhu Shuo asked the official who checked the household registration: "This Zhang Xiaohai's matter is like this at present. There is also a Li Chunlin, what's going on with him? How did he disappear in Xinyang County, does anyone know where the others went? ”

The official thought about it, after all, no one would remember the events of a year ago so truly. "Why don't you ask the senior old officials and see if they have any impressions." Zhu said to Jiang Zhixian.

Jiang Zhixian nodded and said, "It's okay." By the way, and what about a teenage bandit? Did you find any information about him? Jiang Zhixian asked the official in front of him.

The official replied, "Go back to your lordship." It hasn't been sorted out yet, and as far as we have found out so far, there are about a hundred people who are not in our Xinyang County, but there is no information that can match that young man. Moreover, I was there at the time, and listening to the young man's accent, it didn't look like our local Xinyang accent. ”

After Jiang Zhixian heard this, he thought for a while and said, "This official knows." I've been working hard for you these past few days. ”

The official said: "This is what we do, where does it come from, what is not hard." ”

Jiang Zhixian and Zhu Shuo showed appreciative glances at these officials. Jiang Zhixian then said to everyone: "Ah Hong, you take Deputy Alliance Leader Hua to take a look at the weapons you captured that time and see if there are any clues." Master Zhu and I went to ask others to see if we could ask about Li Chunlin. ”

Jiang Hong did not hesitate at all, and said: "Okay! He left with Hua Feng and Yuanhao. After going out, Hua Feng said to Jiang Hong: "Jiang Zhutou, you seem to have been a little rude just now. ”

Jiang Hong said: "I am most annoyed to see this kind of person, who is kind on the surface, but I don't know how many deeds are hidden in my heart." Isn't it just that he has read a book for a few years, and he says that he is like no one has read it. I know a lot of words! However, it is still real with fists. Jiang Hong clenched his fists.

Hua Feng said: "You can't say that. Wu can level the world, literature can rule the world, and only by having both civil and military can great things be achieved. ”

Although Jiang Hong didn't want to listen to these big truths, he still respected Hua Feng very much after all, and said: "Deputy Alliance Master Hua, I know, let's go and see the weapons I captured." ”

After Jiang Hong and the others left, Jiang Zhixian apologized to Zhu, "My nephew doesn't know how to get along with people, and I ask Master Zhu not to be surprised." ”

Zhu said: "I don't know how to get along with others, and arrogance is the big thing." If he continues to do so, he will surely suffer in the future. ”

Jiang Zhixian said: "I will definitely be strictly disciplined when I go back." By the way, our county government has two veteran foremen, let's go and ask them to see if they have any findings. Zhu said and nodded, and went with Jiang Zhixian to find Lao Zhang and Lao Chen.

First found Lao Chen, and after asking about Li Chunlin, Lao Chen shook his head, and didn't seem to have any impression of this matter. Then Jiang Zhixian found Lao Zhang and asked, "Lao Zhang, you know that there used to be a man named Li Chunlin in our county. As soon as Li Chunlin's name was mentioned, Lao Zhang immediately said: "I know." He is a good gambler, and in order to gamble, he owes Mr. Guo Er, five hundred taels of silver. So, Mr. Guo Er sued the Yamen. This is a sure thing, what else can be checked, debt repayment. Li Chunlin had no money to pay it back, and in the end, he had to sell his family's house and land to Mr. Guo Er. ”

After Jiang Zhixian heard this, he said, "I see. Do you know where to go? ”

Lao Zhang said: "I don't know about this. ”

After Zhu Shuo heard this, he asked: "What happened this year ago, does Zhang Yashi remember it so clearly?" ”

Lao Zhang looked at the young man who was talking suspiciously, and said, "Who are you?" ”

Jiang Zhixian said: "This is my newly found master." ”

Lao Zhang suddenly realized and said, "It turned out to be the master." Disrespectful and disrespectful. I didn't expect the county magistrate to find such a young master. ”

Zhu said: "There is nothing to say about my age. It's just that why does Zhang Yashi remember the events of this year ago so clearly? ”

Lao Zhang was stunned and explained: "Well, I handled this matter at that time, so I remember it clearly." Moreover, I often warn my grandchildren not to gamble. Yes, that's right. ”

Zhu said that he was skeptical of Lao Zhang's statement, and then said: "That's the case." Thank you Zhang Yajun for telling me the inside story. ”

Jiang Zhixian asked: "Lao Zhang, we suspect that the bandit that Jiang Hong arrested a few days ago is this Li Chunlin. Do you have an impression of this man? ”

Lao Zhang Tui said: "It's been more than a year, I don't remember what it looks like." ”

Jiang Zhixian was a little deflated and said, "Okay." There's nothing for you here, Lao Zhang, you can get busy first. Lao Zhang retired.

Zhu said looked at the departing Zhang Yajun and said, "My lord, I think there is something wrong with this person?" ”

Jiang Zhixian asked with some surprise, "What's the problem?" ”

Zhu Shuo frowned deeply, and said, "I can't tell, but I don't think it's so simple." After thinking for a while, Zhu Shuo said to Jiang Zhixian: "Since the county government handled it at that time, there must be a record, can Jiang Zhixian take me to check." ”

Jiang Zhixian said: "Okay, let's go check the records at that time." ”

Jiang Hong took Hua Feng to a utility room, found the knife that Zhang Haiwei used at that time among some miscellaneous items, and walked in front of Hua Feng with the knife. Hua Feng looked at it and said to Yuanhao beside him: "Yuanhao, do you have any impression of this knife." ”

Yuanhao took a closer look and said, "Isn't this the kind of knife that Qing Feng used for them!" ”

Hua Feng smiled with satisfaction and said categorically: "It seems that the robber is Zhang Xiaohai." ”

Next to a mountain spring outside Xinyang City, two buckets filled with water were placed on the ground. Li Yu, who was next to the bucket, was resting on the stone next to the mountain spring at this time. Li Yu has not stopped at all from morning to now, using light work, going back and forth between the mountain spring and the bamboo house at the fastest speed, and he has been busy for almost two hours, but eighteen cylinders of water have just filled six cylinders of water. Li Yu complained: "This water tank is really loaded. A tank of water is almost eight buckets of water. Master, you have gone to work in the city, let me be alone and fetch water for you here! Oops. At first, Li Yu was quite motivated, thinking about resting early after finishing the water early, but as time passed, his body became more and more tired, and his speed became slower and slower. After a short rest, Li Yu lifted the two buckets that had already been filled with water, and then cheered himself up, saying, "Isn't it just fetching water!" It's still hard for me! Then he performed light skills and ran in the direction of the bamboo house.

Back in the room, when Li Yu was putting water into the water tank, he suddenly heard small talk and footsteps, Li Yu poked his head out and looked out. I saw that a few feet away from the bamboo house, there were several officials, searching in groups nearby. In this lonely mountain forest, a bamboo house was very conspicuous, which immediately attracted the attention of those officials, and walked towards the bamboo house.
