Chapter 142: Discerning

The misty beads are far like early plum snow, and I don't know my body next year. Lu Si met a drunk man at night, had a quarrel with him and killed him. When he released the Daigo smoke golden cicada out of his shell, he didn't want to bump into someone. The man sat on the ground, muttering something in his mouth. Lu Si was frightened inexplicably, where could he care about what he said, all the way to disappear like smoke in the dark night.

At this time, the person sitting on the ground saw a person crooked next to him, and he pushed the person, but there was no response. A pungent smell of wine hit, and the man clasped his palms together and read: "Wine is a poison that pierces the intestines, and it is better not to touch it in the future." After that, he got up and was about to go, ready to go to the restaurant and tea shop to fast.

At this time, there was a rush of footsteps, but the monk did not care, it turned out that the night patrol officer had come here. The monk leaned against the corner, glanced at him, and still strode forward. At this moment, one of the officers saw a man lying on his stomach in the alley, and he screamed. When the officer heard this, he said to the officer, "What are you shouting about, as if you have lost your soul?"

The errand officer pointed to the alley, and said to the errand officer tremblingly: "Liu Zhutou, there is a person lying there. Liu Zhutou said to the officer: "Look at the fire." As soon as he spoke, he took the servants to the flower alley.

Liu Zhutou leaned over and saw that the drunken man's skull was shattered, and he was already dead. Liu Zhutou said to the messengers: "Pass the order to go down and block the city gate." In major medical halls and teahouses, visit the traces of gangsters. "For a while, the errand was like a river, and they went everywhere to investigate and investigate cases.

For a time, the whole city was in an uproar, and the people were all frightened. If you want to say that the most sad and unpleasant food, it is the prefect Xu Qing. The gangsters have committed crimes repeatedly, treating the government drama as child's play, and as a parent official, they can't help the community at the top, and they can't help the people at the bottom. Xu Qing felt that he should go to the Imperial History Mansion to take the blame.

Liu Zhutou first carried out a survey around the scene of the crime, and someone said to Liu Zhutou: "Liu Tou, have you neglected something?" As soon as these words came out, Liu Zhutou was like falling into the clouds, he turned around, and said to the errand officer with puzzled eyes: "Tell me, what details have I neglected?"

The servant pouted and said to Liu Zhutou: "Liu Tou, the monk next to the alley, when he saw us coming, he looked panicked, I think he is a bad monk." As soon as these words came out, Liu Zhutou also felt a little strange, and he immediately sent a messenger to intercept the monk's way.

Seeing a group of servants surrounding him menacingly, the monk felt a little confused, and he said to them in a hurried and slightly trembling tone: "I don't know what the intention of everyone to stop the little monk is?"

Before Liu Zhufa asked, under the torch of the lantern, the messenger pointed at the monk and shouted: "Liu Tou, look, there is a bloody palm print on his chest." ”

Liu Zhutou moved closer, a pair of harrier eyes rolled straight, he tilted his head and squinted around the monk, and then said viciously: "Okay, you are a monk, you don't know how to benefit all sentient beings, but you are indulgent in evil, come on, escort him back to the yamen for me." ”

As soon as Liu Zhutou spoke, the two messengers attacked left and right, took ropes and lassoes, and tied up the monk Wuhuada. Xu Qing was pacing and meditating in the study, and an errand came in to report the victory. He said to Xu Qing with a spring breeze on his face: "Master, Liu Zhutou has already captured the murderer. ”

"Great!" Xu Qing patted his thigh, and his gloomy face became more and more beautiful. He immediately ordered the master to take the case book and instructed the third class of officials to go up to the hall to ask about the case.

The three classes of officials were divided into two sides, and the master had all the documents, and Yu Qingzheng sat precariously with a solemn expression and picked up the startled wood, only to hear the sound of "pop". Xu Qingzi shouted in a straight voice: "Bring someone to commit a crime." ”

"Bringing people to commit crimes. The master drew the gourd in the same way and repeated.

Liu Zhutou pushed and shoved the monk in, and the three classes of officials shouted in unison: "Mighty." The master said to the monk: "Why don't you kneel when you see Lord Xu?" The monk trembled and said: "The little monk only worships the Buddha and Bodhisattva, not the worldly people. ”

"How can it be justified? Liu Zhutou made a thousand pound fall, and the steel tongs and iron hands pressed the monk's shoulder, and he also kicked the monk's knee with his leaf sweeping leg. While beating, he scolded: "I don't know how to lift things, and you are still guilty when you arrive at the yamen." ”

"Stop. Xu Qing shouted loudly, and Liu Zhutou flashed to the side. Then Xu Qing said to Liu Zhutou: "Liu Zhutou, you have been patrolling very hard at night, there is nothing for you to do here, you should retreat first." ”

"Yes, yes" Liu Zhutou nodded, bowed, and after bowing to Xu Qing, he retired with the errand officer. Then Xu Qing was shocked and said to the monk: "Where did you come from, the evil monk, who dared to kill the good people under my rule." Still not from the truth?"

The monk was obviously frightened by the solemn atmosphere of the mansion, and in the face of Xu Qing's questioning, his three souls and seven spirits were wandering leisurely, and he had already flown out of the clouds. "The bold and evil monk dares to despise the court. Come on, give me a heavy 20-big board. ”

The servant wolf pressed the monk to the ground like a sheep, and the monk woke up like a dream. He said to Xu Qing: "The little monk is wronged. Xu Qing retired from the government and said to the monks: "You honestly tell the cause and effect of the matter to the government." After this government's analysis, if you are indeed innocent, they will naturally let you go back. If you hide treachery and play tricks, this government will not care if you are a foreigner, and you will be punished according to the law.

The monk nodded again and again, and told Xu Qing in detail what happened in the alley. Xu Qing stroked his long beard and nodded his head from time to time. Then he ordered the handprints of the monk's clothes to be rubbed down and compared with the palms of the drunkards. The result was very different, Xu Qing pronounced the verdict in court, and the monk was acquitted.

Xu Qingming was observant and not indulgent, although the suspicion of a monk was ruled out. But how can we investigate the murderer now? The master said to Xu Qing at this time: "My lord, the little one has an idea, but he just wants to wronged this monk. ”

When Xu Qing heard this, he hurriedly asked the master what his plan was. The master said to Xu Qing: "My lord, my strategy is to repair the plank road in the open and Chen Cang in the dark. Since this monk appeared at the scene, if he is captured, it will be the most relieved for the real villain, and then we will close the four gates on the grounds of visiting the population of the city. Catch him in an urn. At that time, the villains are captured, and the monks can also do a good thing for the place. ”

This plan is indeed very wonderful, Liu Zhutou is not aware of it now, and with him to publicize it everywhere, he is not afraid that the villains will not be fooled. Xu Qing informed the monk of this plan, although the monk was willing to help Master Xu, but he was worried about the master's concern, how could this be good?

Xu Qing said to the monk: "Little Master, if you want to hide people's eyes and ears and make this play vivid, you can't let your master know." If they knew what had happened, they would have had a calm look on their faces, wouldn't that make the wicked suspicious?"

Xu Qing's words made the monk see the sun, and he said to Xu Qing: "I see that you are impartial and upright, and you are also a clean official for the benefit of the local people, and I am willing to help you." Xu Qing smiled and said to the master: "Tomorrow you go to the temple where this master lives and donate a hundred yuan of incense and candle money for me." ”

The master nodded, Xu Qing turned to the monk and said, "My salary is not much, I hope the master will not be surprised." The monk clasped his palms together and recited: "Amitabha, respecting the Buddha lies in a sincere word." After all the arrangements were stopped, Xu Qing remanded the monks to prison and ordered Liu Zhutou to post the arrest notice everywhere at the city gate.

Let's say that after Lu Si fled back to the thatched house, Fa Xiang ran back in disgrace when he saw him. Immediately angry, he smashed the table, stared at Lu Si like a cow, and said viciously to Lu Si: "Things are messed up again." You shit. ”

Lu Siyi wiped the large drops of sweat on his forehead, and looked at the evil monk with frightened eyes. Fa said to him: "The old man has given you opportunities again and again, but every time you make a mess of things. Leaving you behind is a scourge after all. ”

The powerful King Kong palm slashed the iron like cutting mud, and the law was fierce, and the corner of the table was cut off with one palm. Lu Sideng's soul was not possessed, and he felt a warm current on his body, which turned out to be peeing his pants. He didn't care about face anymore, and kowtowed to the law again and again.

Fa Xiang spat at him, and said disdainfully: "Look at your cowardice, where do you look like a general who has galloped on the battlefield." Lu Si kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said to Fa Xiang: "Yes, yes, the small one is a coward, and the small one is greedy for life and afraid of death." I also hope that the master will raise his noble hand. ”

Fa Xiang raised his hand and said to Lu Si: "You wait here, I'll go to the city to see the situation." ”

After that, the smoke stepped on the turbid clouds, and the body broke through the window and went out. He unleashed the Double Dragon Pillar and jumped onto the wall. Then he looked down with a thief, and then he heard someone shouting below: "Liu Tou, as soon as you get out of the horse, you will be caught, and the monk who committed the murder has already confessed." Now you are waiting for the court to reward you. Ha ha. ”

Liu Zhuguan said proudly: "Hahaha, I have also been a daughter-in-law for many years, and today I finally have a bright day." This evil monk killed Ding Zhutou, and I can be regarded as avenging him. ”

is the so-called icing on the cake, a group of errands surrounded Liu Zhutou's side, and the stars flattered him like the moon, and Liu Zhutou's sycophants were greatly used. ”

Everyone walked forward giggling, the duckweed glimpsed in the law, and the hunched waist tended to follow closely on the eaves. I only heard the servants say: "Liu Zhutou, listen to Lord Xu, this monk is sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn." ”

Liu Zhutou waved his hand and said, "How to judge it is Lord Xu's business, let's just take people." Anyway, if the evidence is conclusive and the case is ironclad, can that monk still fly away?"

Before the servants could continue, Liu Zhutou waved his hand at them. It was because everyone was silent and silent, and the surroundings were suddenly silent. When Fa Xiang saw that Liu Zhu led the servants into a street, he disappeared suddenly. He muttered in his heart, fortunately, there was a daredevil who suffered for Lu Si, and the matter of killing Ding Jian by himself would disappear from now on. It's just that who is the monk who is locked up in prison? The second monk of the Dharma Prime Minister was at a loss, and he thought about it from side to side, but he couldn't figure out why.
