Du Tiexin smiled and said, "My lord, if there is nothing else, we will leave here." ”

Li Qiufeng said: "You can't leave right now. ”

As soon as he spoke, Du Tiexin and Dorjee Lama, who were originally relieved, changed their expressions greatly, for fear that Li Qiufeng would change their minds again. Li Qiufeng naturally knew the intentions of the two, and said, "Do you have silver on you?"

When Du Tiexin and Dorjee Lama heard the word "silver", they breathed a sigh of relief, and thought to themselves: "As long as you ask for silver, this matter will be much easier." ”

I only heard Du Tiexin hurriedly say: "How much silver do you need, just say it." Even if we don't have enough money on us, we can send someone back to Biyunwu to get it. If it is inconvenient for the adults to handle the case here, we can send the silver to the capital and give it to the adults' families. ”

Naturally, Dorjee Lama refused to lag behind, and lowered his voice and said to Li Qiufeng: "My lord, the little monk has a silver ticket on his body, which is a ticket spread by Zuojiayin in Shanxi, and it can also be exchanged in the capital. The little monk is willing to give all the silver tickets to the adults. ”

Li Qiufeng smiled: "I'm afraid that the two of you have misunderstood, it's not that I want your silver." You're fighting and dying here, so you'll have to spend some money to appease these people. Otherwise, they will make trouble in the yamen, and I just want to suppress this case, but it is 'the county official is better than taking care of it now'." At that time, the local magistrate reported the case to the Yamen of the Luoyang Prefect and the Yamen of the Henan Governor, and they would definitely issue an official document to arrest Wanren Temple and Biyunwu. At that time, I'm afraid that the two of them will be in big trouble. ”

Du Tiexin and Dorjee Lama suddenly realized, and they both thought in their hearts: "What this Jinyiwei said is good. If I pat my ass and leave, these Diao people will naturally report to the official. There was a murder case, and the county ordered such a nine-grade sesame official to naturally not be able to deal with it, and he had to report to the Luoyang prefect's yamen. Let's shout here, thinking that the villagers already know where we are coming, and then report to the government that Biyunwu and Wanren Temple have injured people's lives, and the Luoyang prefect yamen and the Henan governor yamen will naturally send people to Shanxi to arrest people. We have a lot of contacts with local officials in Shanxi, and if this case falls into their hands, it will naturally be able to turn a big thing into a small one. It's just that if Henan's yamen intervenes, this matter will be difficult to do. Although it costs a little money, as long as you can silence these Diao people, the benefits are great. ”

Thinking of this, Du Tiexin and Dorjee Lama each took it out in their arms. It's just that Dorjee Lama took out a silver ticket of 700 taels, but Du Tiexin took out a silver ticket of 200 taels of silver, as well as two ingots of silver ingots, and a few pieces of broken silver.

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said, "In such a remote place, these people probably have no place to exchange silver tickets, and they must get cash before they can speak." ”

Dorjee Lama hurriedly turned his head to his more than 20 lamas and said, "If you have any cash on you, take it out and give it to me." ”

These more than 20 lamas knew that this was a critical juncture of life and death, but they did not dare to hide their secrets, so they hurriedly took out all the silver taels on their bodies, and actually collected more than 140 taels of broken silver. Dorjee Lama thought to himself: "You bastards! No wonder there has been a lot less scattered silver in the merit box recently, and I think it was all stolen by you bastards." After I go back, I have to send a few more people to watch the merit box, so as not to be rubbed with oil and water by these bastards!"

Du Tiexin also ordered Zhuang Ding of Biyunwu to hand over the scattered silver taels. It's just that these Zhuang Ding are a lot shabby, most of them only carry 100 copper coins, and only a dozen or so Zhuang heads with positions carry silver on their bodies. Du Tiexin scraped together more than two hundred taels of silver, and thousands of copper coins, held them in front of Li Qiufeng, and said, "My lord, you can take a look." ”

Li Qiufeng turned his head to the shopkeeper Hu and said, "Shopkeeper, you put away the money, and when we go, we will give the money to Jia Sanye's family." If there is any surplus, it will be counted as a loss for the tables, chairs and dishes in your store. ”

The shopkeeper didn't dare to accept the silver money at first, but finally saw Du Tiexin and Dorjee Lama glaring at him viciously, so he took the silver money tremblingly, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord doesn't know, Jia Laosan...... Jia Sanye is a lonely old stick, no family, look at this silver money......"

Li Qiufeng groaned slightly, and said, "You use this money to buy a piece of land, and then choose a good coffin to bury Jia Sanye." The rest of the money was distributed to the poor people of the town. Remember, I'll be back here when I'm done with my case. If you don't get an unfair share, beware of your head!"

When the shopkeeper Hu heard Li Qiufeng say harshly, he shrank his head in fright, and said again and again: "Don't dare, don't dare, the villain must do what the adult says." If the villain does something wrong, the adult can punish the villain!"

The lamas of Wanren Temple and Biyunwu took out the silver money together, and there were three or four hundred taels of silver. These people have worked hard for a year, and they can't earn a few taels of silver, and when they see this lot of silver, their eyes light up one by one, and they are calculating how much silver they can share, but they completely forget the situation when Jia Sanye died tragically in front of him.

Li Qiufeng saw the appearance of these people, but he sighed in his heart. But I heard Dorjee Lama say to the people: "Fellow villagers, we are here today to assist the government in catching the thieves. It's just that there was a misunderstanding and hurt the life of a citizen, which is naturally ours. It's just that you have just killed a few friends of Biyunwu, and if you talk about sin, the crime you have committed is much more serious than ours......"

Before Dorjee Lama's words fell, all the people turned pale with fright. Dozens of people rushed into the tavern and killed four Zhuang Ding from Biyunwu, and later killed another person outside the tavern. In this way, only one person died among the people, while five people died on the other side, and the government knew the news and naturally wanted to punish the murderer. At this thought, the joy of the people, who had just been given a share of the money, was suddenly replaced by the fear of committing a felony of murder.

Li Qiufeng heard Dorjee Lama speak like this, and knew that he was using the death of Biyunwu Zhuang Ding to intimidate these people not to report to the official. I thought to myself: "This lama is not only strong in martial arts, but also so meticulous in his thoughts, he is indeed a great figure." ”

I only heard Dorjee Lama say: "But now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, and there are casualties on both sides, we will not pursue it." After you bury this old man, divide the money and live well. We won't report to the government that you killed five people, even if it's a tie!"

After Dorjee Lama finished speaking, all the people immediately relaxed and nodded yes. Someone said loudly: "Great monk, the words have been spoken, you can't go back!"

Dorjee Lama thought to himself: "Lao Tzu is afraid that you will regret it!" But although he thought so in his heart, his face was solemn and full of compassion. I saw him clasp his hands together, recite a Buddha name, and say, "Monks don't speak." If the old man repents, teach the old man to fall into the hell of Ah Nose, and he will not be able to live forever. ”

When the people saw that Dorjee Lama had made a heavy oath, they were relieved. It's just that some people were not convinced, and said loudly in the crowd: "It was Chef Li who took the lead in rushing into the tavern to beat people, the government wants to punish the crime, just arrest him, but you can't implicate others!"

Before the man could finish speaking, the tavern cook jumped up from the ground, pointed at the man who spoke, and scolded: "Xu San'er, are you jealous that I slept with your wife, and you want to kill me? If you are a gentleman, settle accounts with your wife, don't get along with Lao Tzu!"

The two opened their mouths to argue, and then waved their fists to make a move. There were people next to him who persuaded and took the opportunity to add fuel and vinegar, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

Dorjee Lama whispered to Li Qiufeng: "My lord, I know that you pity these people. But if you look at the appearance of these people, they all deserve it......"

Li Qiufeng waved his hand without waiting for him to finish speaking, and said, "It's not that your big lama is smart, and a few words make these people dare not report to the official?!"

Dorjee Lama laughed twice and didn't dare to say anything more. Li Qiufeng said to Du Tiexin and Dorjee Lama: "There is nothing to do here, you should rush back to Shanxi as soon as possible." ”

Du Tiexin and Dorjee Lama said a few more polite words on their lips when they were amnesty, and then they each took their men and went in a hurry.

Li Qiufeng saw that the villagers were in a mess, but he didn't want to be entangled in it, so he glanced at Situ Qiao, and the two quietly walked north.

By the time the two of them walked out of town, it was midnight. A bright moon in the sky has turned to the western sky, reflecting the surrounding mountains and fields as if covered with a layer of hoarfrost. The official road beneath his feet stretched straight to the north, disappearing into a low hill as far as the eye could see. There was silence all around, except for the footsteps of the two men in the wilderness.

Situ Qiao said: "Brother Li, why didn't the two people who walked with you just now keep up?"

Li Qiufeng said: "These two people are county officials who went to Xiuwu County to take up their posts, and they just heard me claim to be Jinyiwei, and they took out Jinyiwei's waist card, and they were quite jealous of me, so they wanted to find another way to go." ”

Situ Qiao said: "I see that these two people's martial arts are not weak. They are civil officials, and their kung fu is so powerful, I am afraid that there is a lot of strange things in them. ”

Li Qiufeng said: "Although I have only known these two people for a few days, looking at their words and deeds, they don't look like wicked people, let alone deliberately embarrass me. is because of whether their martial arts are strong or weak, and what purpose is hidden behind them, but I don't bother to pay attention to them. ”

When Li Qiufeng said this, he glanced at Situ Qiao, and then said: "I am quite interested in what Mr. Situ did. ”

Situ Qiao smiled: "Brother Li, I didn't mean to hide it from you, but when it came to the important point, I was interrupted by those two people." There happens to be no one here, so I might as well tell you more about it......"

Li Qiufeng waved his hand and said, "After a day of tossing today, Mr. Situ is also exhausted, let's find a safe place to rest for a night, and talk about this matter in detail tomorrow." But the two masters who were just making trouble in the town don't know where they fled to. The whereabouts of these two people are strange, but I am afraid that there is a big background. ”

Situ Qiao smiled and said, "Brother Li wants to find them, but it is not difficult. ”

Li Qiufeng was stunned for a moment and said, "What advice Mr. Situ can't have?"

Situ Qiao shook his head and said, "In front of Brother Li, how dare I say the word 'advice'." It's just that Brother Li has something on them that they have to get, even if Brother Li doesn't look for them, they have to come to Brother Li!"
