Chapter 171, Qingchun Pavilion
In the study room of the Yahou Mansion in Yuping County, the county magistrate Hong Shusheng, who was dressed in civilian clothes, leaned on the back of the chair, staring at the roof of the study, and was worried about the loss of the official seal. Hong Shusheng, as his name suggests, is long and delicate, and is a distant cousin of Hong Anyu, a distant cousin of Hong Anyu, a cousin of his uncle, and a magistrate in Yuping County, Shannan Province. I didn't expect that after only three months in office, I would be involved in such a stall.
Master Hong Nanting, is Hong Shusheng's own brother, both of them are from Hongjia Village, Heishan County, Liaodong Province, and they have had a good friendship since childhood. Seeing that Hong Shusheng was worried, Hong Nanting comforted: "My lord, we don't have to worry about this matter, since Xin Zhiping promised us that we must catch this thief who stole the seal, then let's relax and wait and see!"
Hong Shusheng said with a sad face: "Brother Nanting, can you be sure that this case is really not done by Xin Zhiping? You also know that last night Niu Zhutou went to search their residence in the Fusheng Inn again, and found the jade bi and the picture of the lady, but the official seal was not there!"
Hong Nanting smiled slightly, "My lord, do you think, if the two of them are really thieves, they are living in the Fusheng Inn and waiting for us to catch them? Why does he want to go with us to the county office to drink tea? Fly directly to the wall and go, with our current methods, we can't even catch their shadows! Moreover, they themselves said that the silver on their bodies came from Jianlin Villa, and he was the second junior brother of Luo Fengyang in the world, so he couldn't fake his ability!"
Hong Shusheng shook his head, "Brother Nanting, the so-called knowing people and knowing faces don't know their hearts! Even if he is really the second junior brother of Luo Fengyang in the world, Luo Fengyang's junior brother is not necessarily a good person! In case he takes advantage of the opportunity to let him out, what do you say we can do with him? What kind of third prince is the surname Tie who suddenly returned to China, we have no power to deal with him at all, and we have to hand it over to the imperial court to deal with it!"
Hong Nanting shook the fan in his hand, "My lord, think about it again, just with Xin Zhiping's ability, our county government prison can't hold him at all, he said to come, he said to leave, when we staged a bitter trick in the hall, you also saw that the clamp stick broke when he clamped hard, with such ability, if he wanted to run, it would be too easy! But why didn't he run? He didn't want to find his innocence!"
Hong Shusheng sighed, "Brother Nanting, I hope this matter is as you said, the official seal can be recovered, I am in a state of confusion now, I don't know what to do! Now except for the surname Xin, I don't think any of us can count on it, the catchers are all rice buckets, and Ye Hetang, who is known as the first master of Wuyuan, can't even walk in front of him!"
Hong Nanting said with a smile: "The official seal has just been lost, and there is such a strange person to help, isn't this the auspicious person's own natural appearance? So my lord, you don't have to worry, just relax, with this Xin Zhiping's ability, you will definitely be able to get this official seal back for you." And you see, as soon as Xin Zhiping arrived here, he was immediately framed, indicating that someone had been staring at him. The person who framed him may be the real culprit in this case!"
Hong Shusheng wiped the sweat on his head with his sleeve, and then he smiled a little: "Brother Nanting, I hope what you said can come true! I am so scared that I have lost the official seal in the past two days, but whenever there is an official document that needs to be stamped with the official seal, I will be stupid immediately.
I've been in a hurry for the past two days, and if I can't find the official seal, I'm going to tie myself up and go to Beijing to ask for guilt!"
Hong Nanting laughed, "My lord, let me tell you a good fortune in misfortune, yesterday I went through the laws of our big business, and I didn't say how to deal with the loss of the official seal, that is to say, this matter, it can be big or small, it depends on whether there is anyone in the court to speak, because there is no precedent for this matter, and no one has lost the official seal yet! From this matter, it shows that someone is going to frame Xin Zhiping, otherwise you say that if Xin Zhiping is a thief, I can understand if he steals valuable things, but what is the use of him stealing your official seal?"
Hong Shusheng slapped his thigh, "Oh, Brother Nanting, what you said is so reasonable! The official seal has been lost, and I have been anxious like an ant on a hot pot for the past two days, how can I still be in the mood to think about these things carefully! This thief is really bad, in order to engage in Xin Zhiping, even the official has been harmed! Now I am afraid that this thief will destroy the official seal, and that will really make it worse!"
Hong Nanting nodded, "It's to guard against this possibility, but since Xin Zhiping said that he has a good relationship with Tang Gongzi of the National Teacher's Mansion, and this way is to chase Tang Gongzi, then at the critical moment, we can also ask that Tang Gongzi for help, if someone harms his good friend, he will never sit idly by, right?
Hong Shusheng stood up excitedly and walked around the study, "It's great if that's really that!
Hong Nanting picked up the tea bowl on the table, took a sip slowly, and said with a smug smile: "Of course, just in case, last night I had quietly sent two powerful catchers to Jianlin Villa to collect evidence, if the gold and silver in the burden were indeed given by the owner of Jianlin Villa, and Xin Zhiping was still in Jianlin Villa five days ago, then it would be more certain that this case was not committed by Xin Zhiping, but that there was another real murderer!"
Hong Shusheng walked up to Hong Nanting, grabbed Hong Nanting's hands, and said excitedly: "Brother Nanting, my good brother, you really deserve the nickname Xiao Zhuge , you are really far-sighted!
Yuan Nanting laughed, "My lord, you were born to sit in a sedan chair, I am just a sedan chair bearer, we must do the work, and the credit belongs to you! If this official seal is not found in the end, then it is better to put the responsibility on me, the master has lost the official seal, and the adult can explain something!"
Hong Shusheng's eyes were red, and he couldn't say anything, but he just pulled Yuan Nanting's hand harder. Yuan Nanting groaned, bared his teeth and said, "My lord, you are light, light! My hand hurts you!"
Only then did Hong Shusheng realize his gaffe, and quickly let go, scratched his head, and smiled embarrassedly. Hong Nanting shook his head, looked at his hand and quipped: "The adult's name is a scholar, but the strength of this scholar's hand is really not small, no wonder you can be an adult, I can only be a master!" Hong Shusheng laughed.
Qingchun Pavilion is the largest green building in Yuping County, located in the southeast corner of the county Jialin Lane, Jialin Lane is not far from the county government, there are six or seven brothels, even in the middle of the night, there are people coming and going.
Put on a brand new
Xin Zhiping, who had changed into a gorgeous dress, was sitting in the box on the third floor of Qingchun Pavilion, holding a woman with heavy makeup and changing the cup, and Tieton was also wearing a dough, sitting opposite Xin Zhiping, talking and laughing with a Qingqi person.
This was all the idea of the master Yuan Nanting, and he used two people who looked somewhat similar to them to replace Xin Zhiping and Tie Dun from prison, and let these two people wear skins and disguise themselves to find out the news. Because the catchers are all familiar faces, it is not easy to do things.
Before coming to the brothel, Xin Zhiping said to Tie Dun, "Tie Dan, the brothel is the most crowded place, and it is the easiest to find out the news, let's just go straight to the biggest brothel in the city, sit there and pack two women, while drinking wine, while inquiring about the news, what do you say about this?"
Tieton laughed at first, and then said meaningfully: "Master, it's the first time I've heard someone talk about visiting a brothel so high, if you want to visit a brothel, go to a brothel, we are all men, and I won't laugh at you!"
Xin Zhiping flicked a chestnut on Tieton's head, and scolded angrily: "You rabbit cub! You also made fun of your master! Master has practiced the secret art of rejuvenation, and you can't get close to women! You don't understand this, and you dare to make fun of Master!"
Tie Dun was stunned for a moment, "Master, since you can't get close to women, why are you going to a brothel?
Xin Zhiping's old face turned red, "Bastard thing, is Master the kind of person who can't control it?
Tieton snickered: "Master, when I entered the city last night, I saw a beautiful girl with big breasts walking in front of you, and you stared hard at the breasts of other girls, and the girl was so angry that she almost didn't use a knife to cut you, but another girl who was traveling with her pulled her away, otherwise I think you will be chased and cut down for three streets!"
Xin Zhi was so calm that he wanted to die, and knocked a violent chestnut on Tieton's head again, "You bastard, which pot you don't open and mention, isn't that just an occasional time? Now that I'm going to Qinglou as a teacher, I'll ask you if you want to go!" Tieton smiled and said, "Master is going, how can I not go?" I don't practice the secret art of rejuvenation, I'm a normal man!"
Then Tie Dun received another violent chestnut on his head, Xin Zhiping scolded angrily: "Bastard thing, aren't I a normal man, Master?" In this way, the master and apprentice changed their disguises, came to Qingchun Pavilion, chartered a private room on the second floor, ordered a Qingqi person and a red man, and tried to find out the news while drinking and having fun.
The master and apprentice were drinking, when they suddenly heard someone outside the box move, followed by the sound of shouting and scolding, and the sound of the bowl being broken. Xin Zhiping is overjoyed, this trip to the brothel is to find trouble, there is something outside, this is really good! It is best to have something to do with the Jiangyang thief, how much trouble do I have to save Uncle Xin?
Xin Zhiping stood up, "Apprentice, you sit in this room and drink honestly, Master go out to see what's going on!" Tieton agreed. Before Xin Zhiping's words fell, a human-shaped hole was knocked out of the wall of the box, and a person was kicked into the box, knocking over Xin Zhiping's wine table, and the wine spilled Xin Zhiping's body at that time, Xin Zhiping was furious!
