That night, the official really brought a few people to Meng Xing, found a restaurant, and talked while eating.

There is both regret and some pride in the words:

"I captured the left cloth cloth today, although he is not a person with a split skull, but this person is also a Jiangyang thief who has been arrested by the imperial court for many years, and he has a few lives on his back, and he met here, and was caught by my brothers and won a reward!"

"No, this is a little brother's share."

After that, he took out a small piece of silver, Meng Xing was not polite, and took it and thanked him: "Several eldest brothers are so brave, the younger brother just borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and the younger brother of today's banquet is the east." ”

"How can that be?"

Meng Xing Zhengse said: "I came out to study, but I traveled poorly, in order to travel thousands of miles, to see the world, if I brought a lot of silver, it was not beautiful." ”

Several officials immediately praised: "The little brother has such ambition, it is really commendable." ”

"Reader, it should be like this." The leading official sighed: "The same person who reads, how can the difference be so big!" ”

"Brother Li, what's wrong?"

The official surnamed Li, who was in the lead, said: "In the past few days, I have waited for the leader to deal with the case, in order to investigate the case of the skull-splitting man, you are from Nanyang County, but you should have heard that it was Liu Shaoyuan and Liu Dagongzi of Liufu who died, and this person commented on it...... Hehe, it shouldn't have been left to me, we are errand people, and we can do good errands. ”

"Unexpectedly, when I went to his house today, I encountered another incident, which made the brothers feel uncomfortable when they saw and listened to it, if it weren't for the pressure from above, the brothers would not have done it here!"

"Oh." Meng Xing suddenly pricked up his ears: "Something happened to Liufu again?" ”

"What can happen to Liufu? In the past few days, Liu Juren handled Liu Shaoyuan's funeral, and many people in Xitang Town went to mourn, which should have been voluntary, but a young master of the Liu family forced a farmer in Xitian Village to come and kowtow and confess his guilt. ”

“……”

It turned out that a few days ago, the Sun family was looking for reason in front of Liufu, and when they went back, they thought that the matter had passed, and they were reclaiming the barren mountains in the past few days, and everyone was in full swing, and they all imagined that the coming year would be a bumper harvest year, with a good harvest, and then they would eat rice.

As for the matter of the Liu family, they also felt that this matter had been turned over, but who expected that Liu Dashao would die the next day, and they also summoned Sun Youtian to go to Xizhi County for questioning.

Sun Youtian's family didn't know about this matter, and they didn't have the ability to do such a case, and Xizhi County Zun also released Sun Youtian back, but there were people in Liufu who refused to take a break.

thinks that Liu Shaoyuan went to Xizhi County to do something on the way to Sun Youtian's family deed, if it weren't for Sun Youtian's family making trouble, there would be no follow-up incidents.

Liu Shaoqing, the little master of the Liu family, took the matter out to Sun Youtian's family and vowed to give them a good look!

On the second day, Liu Shaoqing went to Xitian Village in a sedan chair and asked Sun Youtian's family to kowtow to Liu Shaoyuan.

The conflict ensued, followed by injuries and destruction of fields.

On this day, Sun Youtian dragged his injuries and brought his family to seek reason, and Liufu was holding a funeral, and he was even more merciless when he saw them coming, and beat Sun Youtian's family badly, and killed Sun Youtian's wife on the spot.

However, the result of this incident was that Sun Youtian's family was sentenced to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, and Liufu was guilty of manslaughter, and each was beaten with 50 boards.

Liufu launched a scapegoat and paid some money for the soup and medicine, and the case was hastily settled.

Clear-eyed people know that Liufu is unreasonable and bullying, but the verdict of this case makes sense legally, and even if others can't see it, they are helpless.

When Meng Xing heard this, he didn't have the heart to drink at all, and after several officials finished speaking, they also drank alcohol.

After a few more drinks, they took their leave:

"The skull-splitting man hasn't been arrested yet, and he still has to run an errand tomorrow, little brother, I'll go back first."

"Okay." Meng Xing also has something on his mind and does not keep it.

Meng Xing returned to the guest house, lay on the kang of the Chase Shop and couldn't sleep at all, looking at the roof with his eyes open.

The wicked people in this world cannot be killed, but killing one less is the foundation of the court's trial of important murder cases, and it is also the purpose of fighting for life with life, the purpose of which is to kill justifiably and not wrongfully accuse a good person.

However, for example, in the case of Sun Youtian's family today, based on the events of the day, they came to the door to make trouble when Liufu held a funeral, and the people of Liufu beat him harder, and it is also reasonable, and it is not wrong to sentence a manslaughter.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that the cause of this incident can be traced back to Liu Shaoqing, the young master of the Liu family, forcing their family to kowtow to the dead ghost Liu Shaoyuan, destroying the field and hurting people.

is to find out the root cause, but it is still because Liu Dashao has a black heart, and wants to rob other people's land and property to take the foundation of people's survival, and he is innocent!

And within the legal theory, after several twists and turns, there are external factors such as human feelings, power, and artificiality, and the incident of killing people cannot be investigated to Liu Shaoqing, the young master of the Liu family.

This person has planted evil causes, but he does not have to bear the consequences, which is what makes people angry.

Meng Xing's heart was extremely unhappy.

At the beginning, he also wanted to beat the little beast of the Liu family to death, but Liu Shaoyuan just died, and the little beast of Liu was also killed by him, both of which were related to Sun Youtian's family, which was extremely unfavorable to his family.

Meng Xing can bear the consequences, but this ordinary farmer may not be able to.

Meng Xing didn't want to do bad things with good intentions, so in order to help others, he took his family into it.

He couldn't quench the fire in this matter, but he couldn't get it out.

I secretly thought that I would write it down first, and when this matter passed, I would turn around and find an opportunity to kill Liu Xiaosheng again.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard the soft sound of the tiles above, and as soon as Meng Xing's ears moved, he heard someone moving lightly above.

In the middle of the night, who will climb the roof?

Meng Xing immediately took advantage of the momentum, reflected the surrounding scene in his heart, and only "saw" a person slowly moving on the roof, and after a while, he fell down and did not move, and after a long time, he quietly lifted the tiles.

Inside the Chase Bunk in the guest house, the snoring sound came and went one after another, and the man carefully observed for a moment, quietly put down a hook and slowly stretched out to a beam.

Meng Xing looked at it, and when he looked closely, he could find that there seemed to be something hidden on the beams of the house.

Meng Xing's heart moved, his fingers were like iron, he buckled off a small piece of raised kang mud on the kang, and bounced it on the buttocks of a person on the opposite side of the kang with the technique of a long blow.

"Whew!"

The man bounced up in pain, clutched his buttocks and shouted, "What! ”

The man on the beam of the room was frightened and withdrew his paws, and lurked still, and all the people around him were awakened by him, and scolded sleepily:

“…… What are you doing? Can't sleep in the middle of the night? ”

"Something bit me!"

“…… What? ”

Suddenly, someone said, "There are snakes!" ”

“…… Oh! ”

"Where is the snake?"

This time, the entire Chase shop was fried in an instant, and the old brother who was in pain on his ass hurriedly took off his pants, and he couldn't see it, so he shook his ass and asked others to see:

"There are a few eyes! A few eyes! ”

Surrounded by big men, with a look of disgust, where would they look: "...... Get out! ”

Meng Xing saw that he was about to scare this old brother to death, and hurriedly comforted: "No eyes, your butt is thick, I guess you didn't bite through." ”

"Thank you, little brother, you're weird!"

“……”

Everyone looked for snakes everywhere, and they didn't feel at ease when they couldn't find them on the kang, and looked around: "Snakes are used to climbing high ......"

Hearing the clatter of the eaves above, everyone suddenly exclaimed: "The snake is on the roof!" ”

Meng Xing "saw" that even if the person on the roof escaped, he was still as light as a swallow, and he didn't make much movement, and he secretly praised this person for his light work.

A group of people have poured out to call the shopkeeper to reason:

"You have a snake here, how to sleep!"

The shopkeeper was called up in the middle of the night, sleepy-eyed, but he was not surprised: "There is only one child a day, what's the big deal with snakes...... The money will not be returned! ”

“…… Grandma Lee's! ”

"If the money is not returned, the snake will always be caught!"

The shopkeeper is reasonable: "Catch, catch immediately!" ”

Taking advantage of the chaos, Meng Xing had already gotten the things on the beams, and before he had time to take a closer look, he put them in his arms first.

After making trouble in the middle of the night, it was dawn after a while, a group of people scolded the black shop and left, Meng Xing also left, with a little silver given by Li Guan yesterday, it was enough to stay in the inn for a few days.

After opening the room, I took down the package I was carrying first, in addition to the previous medicines, there were also some silver tickets and silver—collected from Liu Shaoyuan and Qian, as well as the objects that I had just obtained from the beams of the house.

Silver tickets and silver were originally the money that Liu Shaoyuan took to the county government to prepare for the envoy, the silver ticket was fifty taels, and the broken silver was about three taels, which was a huge amount of money for ordinary people.

Meng Xing was originally going to keep it for his own use, but now that something like that happened to Sun Youtian's family, Liu Shaoyuan was ready to use the silver to seize Sun Youtian's land, and Meng Xing was ready to break the money and give it to Sun Youtian.

Then, Meng Xing opened the thing he got on the beam, and at first glance it was a token, with some ghost drawing talismans on it, which looked exquisite.

I couldn't understand what it was for a while, so I put it away first.

Meng Xing guessed that this thing was most likely left by the Jiangyang thief Zuo Buyi.

At that time, he resisted arrest, but when he broke through, he rushed towards the guest house, maybe he was reluctant to give up this thing?

In this case, why not keep it close to you?

The person who came to steal it later should be Zuo Buyi's comrade, and it is very likely that he got the news, otherwise these high-ranking people in the rivers and lakes would take this thing very easily, and they would not delay until midnight to pick it up.

However, at present, Xitang Town is full of officials and fast arrests, and that person should be afraid that people will be discovered, so he is so cautious.

It happened to be cheaper than Meng Xing.

Meng Xing had doubts in his heart, but he didn't think much about it.

Since Zuo Buyi is a subordination, this thing should be his, and it is not easy for anyone to do it.

After sorting out the things, Meng Xing went to the morning market to buy some things and prepared them.

At this time, Meng Xing was already dressed as a fortune teller, and he had already inquired about the path and rushed to Xitian Village.
