The next day, Zhuang Ban and Sooli went to dig three feet around the small prison to find a house, Yang Dazui went to check the county chronicle to check the background of the yamen, Xu Da went to Yicuilou to inquire about the news, and Ba Meow went to chant Buddha in the shade of the tree.

There was a little female cat who came to the shade of the tree shyly, and the eight meows suddenly blew up and scared it away: Get out, this is the meow master's territory, you want to come and grab the territory, right?

The county chronicle was flipped through before, and it was a mess, but Wang Qilin went to help find some information.

The predecessor of the Yamen was the mansion of a county candidate in the previous dynasty, and the surname of this county candidate was Balhu, which was a nobleman of the previous dynasty, and Jixiang County, Gaoyuan County and other places were all fiefdoms of his family, so the mansion was built so majestic.

But Yang Dazui found out so much information, the situation of the county Hou family, what happened, what happened, etc., the county chronicles did not record, but said that several generations of county candidates were brutal and ruthless, calling themselves tiger cannibals.

Seeing this, Wang Qilin probably guessed: When Emperor Taizu of this dynasty rebelled against the Yuan, he killed the nobles of the previous dynasty, and the cannibal marquis was murderous, and the imperial army naturally would not let him go, and he must have been beheaded after capturing the county seat.

Of course, this was just his speculation, and it needed to be corroborated by documentary records, so they continued to rummage.

Strangely, they turned the county's classic library upside down and didn't find any relevant records.

Wang Qilin dug out a martial arts classic from it: "Bronze Man Gong".

The classics are old, the words are crooked, and at first glance, there is a masterful demeanor of the game.

This surprised him!

With excitement and awe, he opened the booklet.

The first page is blank.

The second page is also blank.

It's all blank in the end!

Wang Qilin wondered: Could this be a wordless heavenly book?

Then you have to study it carefully, maybe you got some magic secrets left over from the previous dynasty by chance!

"Seventh Master, let's go, it's time for dinner, I'll invite you today. ”

Yang Dazui came to him, and when he saw the booklet in his hand, he smiled: "What is the seventh master doing when he looks at this thing? Look at the words like this dog, you can know that this is something written by the doll of the warehouse guard. ”

Wang Qilin twitched the corners of his mouth, very disappointed: "I thought this was some kind of hard kung fu exercise." ”

Yang Dazui asked, "Seventh Master, do you want to practice hard kung fu from other families?"

Wang Qilin nodded.

Yang Dazui pondered for a moment and said: "There is a hard kung fu in the next family, but it is very common, it is called the Thirteen Taibao Henglian, if the seventh master is interested, I can give it to you, but I can only give you the classics of the manuscript, the original I am not allowed to move at home, it is a family heirloom." ”

Wang Qilin was pleasantly surprised again: "You have the Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Practice Classics at home? By the way, it seems that Master Dou's family also has them?"

Yang Dazui smiled and said: "Lord Dou's thirteen Taibao horizontal exercises are what I taught him, otherwise why can you and me be the deputy head catcher?" Haha, but my family's thirteen Taibao horizontal exercises are not a profound technique, it is a foreign kung fu that many people on the rivers and lakes can do, and the seventh master can take a fancy to it?"

Wang Qilin nodded again and again: "Of course, thank you Deputy Yang, Brother Yang, thank you Brother Yang for your generosity!"

The Yang family was a foreigner who moved to Jixiang County a few years ago, and at first he joined the Yamen as a small strong man in the Zhuang class, doing rough work.

But when his grandfather was young, he ran through the rivers and lakes with the dart game, and the family passed the thirteen Taibao horizontal exercises, so he used the ten exercises to go through the back door for Dou Dachun, plus his kung fu was stronger than other officials, and he was promoted from a strong man to a deputy catcher.

While having lunch, he went home and took the copy of Kung Fu to Wang Qilin.

Wang Qilin opened it and saw that there were words and paintings inside, that is, the words were written like dogs crawling, and the paintings were also very abstract.

Yang Dazui sneered: "This is what I drew myself when I taught Master Dou kung fu, the words are not very good, but the seventh master can rest assured, this kung fu is real, and there is nothing wrong in it." ”

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and pulled out his waist knife, slashing at his arm.

The hair on the dark, thick arm was densely hairy, and the knife had fallen, leaving only a small wound.

Yang Dazui said proudly: "I can't practice at home, my grandfather said that this thirteen Taibao horizontal practice to perfection is also a top hard kung fu, the knife cuts a white mark, and the gun stabs a white spot!"

Wang Qilin put away the cheats with a smile, and shouted at the shopkeeper: "Give me two more hard dishes!"

Yang Dazui was about to grin, and then suddenly fell into deep thought: It seems that he is paying the bill by himself.

In the afternoon, they had to check again, and Hou Jiaojian, the head of the soap team, came in a hurry: "Lao Yang, there is a case, there is a case, you hurry up and follow me." ”

Solve the case and arrest it quickly, usually Dou Dachun leads the team to investigate the case, but Dou Dachun can manage it when he is not in the three shifts.

So Yang Dazui wondered: "If there is a case, you can investigate, I'm busy here." ”

Hou Jiaojian said with a sad face: "It's a difficult case, I can't handle it, I have to let you take a look." Oh, Lord Wang is also here, and I also want to invite Lord Wang to take a look, Lord Dou once said that Lord Wang is a god catcher. ”

"What case?"

"There was a woman who was washing clothes with her son in Dongtang, but the mother and son fell into the water with a young man, and the mother and son went ashore, and the young man died. ”

"At that time, a pedestrian passed by, saying that the mother and son fell into the water and the young man went to save them, but the young man sent the mother and son up and drowned himself!"

Yang said with a big mouth: "What's so difficult about this? Is it that the young man's family wants the mother and son to compensate?"

Hou Jiaojian said: "No, but the mother and son said that they were not rescued by the youth, but the youth teased her son into the water, and her family is not responsible for this, it was the young man who caused it." ”

Yang flicked his sleeves and said, "It must be women talking nonsense!"

"But this woman is a family that has moved from the coast in the past two years, and everyone around her knows that she has good water nature, and her doll also has good water nature, so she said that even if her doll falls into the water, it is not in danger, and she can save it, and she doesn't need others to help at all!"

The corners of Yang's mouth began to twitch in Zhao Si's style: "This, this also makes some sense, huh?"

Wang Qilin couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "Did the drowned young man catch it?" Did he go into the water with his clothes on?"

Hou Jiaojian sighed and said, "His clothes are on the shore, and he is bathing naked underwater." ”

Now the case is not easy to handle.

Rashomon!

Yang Dazui looked at Wang Qilin for help, he knew how many catties and taels he had, and this kind of case made him unable to deal with ten.

The case involved women and children, and it was a passer-by who testified, so he couldn't use a board to extract a confession, right?

How to break?

Can't break it!

Wang Qilin said: "Let's go, take a look." ”

Dongtang is one of several natural ponds in Jixiang County, located in the east of the city, surrounded by weak willows, it is summer, the summer breeze blows, the willow branches sway, extraordinarily stylish.

The water quality of the pond is clear, there are few aquatic plants, and there are often people around the shore who come to wash clothes, and people come to take a bath and take a shower when the weather is hot.

At this time, there were many people around the bank of the pond, and a middle-aged couple hugged a young man with his eyes closed and cried: "Dazhu, Dazhu, open your eyes, open your eyes and look at your mother." ”

"Pillar, wake up, wake up, dad is going to marry you a daughter-in-law, wake up!"

A woman sat on the shore with her son in her arms, and the onlookers pointed at her, shouting, "It's none of my business, it's not my mother's business!"

Wang Qilin and his entourage arrived, and the onlookers avoided one after another:

"The official is here. ”

"Not only the officials of the Yamen, but also the heavenly eunuch has come. ”

"I heard that the heavenly prison is here again? I just said that this thing is strange, there are water ghosts in Dongtang asking for their lives!"

Seeing them coming, the woman crawled over with her son in her arms: "Lord Qingtian is the master of our mother and son, this matter really doesn't depend on my head......"

"Shut up, the official will investigate, let you speak, and you will speak again. Yang said sharply.

The woman trembled, hugged her son and stepped back.

"Where is the passer-by? ”

A father and son dressed as a farmer and a man dressed as a merchant came out one after another, and from their mouths, the ins and outs of the matter were said:

It's hot today, and it's noon again, and it's even hotter, and a young man and woman go down to the pond with the child in their arms to bathe.

The boy screamed suddenly, and the young man swam to save him, and the woman went into the water, but the woman dragged the child up, but the young man disappeared......

The woman shouted, "This is nonsense, the two of them have wronged me......"

Yang Dazui pointed at her and said sharply: "Don't let you speak, don't speak!"

He squatted down again to look at the child in the woman's arms, and showed a kind smile like an eagle seeing a chicken: "Child, tell me, how did that brother save you?"

The child squeezed into his mother's arms and whispered, "My brother is throwing himself in the water, it's so scary, and my mother pulled me up." ”

The young man's mother cried and cried, "You have lost your conscience! Your conscience has been eaten by dogs! My pillar died to save your son.

The two sides insisted on their own words, and the situation was chaotic for a while.

Xie Toad groaned: "It's better to be like this, Lao Dao knows a little about the art of soul rejuvenation, let Lao Dao temporarily pull this little brother's yin soul back from Yin Cha's hands, listen to what he says, how about it?"
