Sure enough, everything was as Ji Ruchen expected, and on the second day of the murder, the magistrate sent out almost all the errands in the yamen who could be used, saying that he would find the missing hidden woman. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

These officials also know that the matter is urgent, if they really can't find anyone, the magistrate will naturally be held accountable, and their subordinates are afraid that they will also be unlucky, at least once the five-day deadline has passed, the punishment of the board will not be able to escape no matter what.

On the second day after returning from the mountain, Ji Ruchen also joined the search for people. Although it is the same search, the division of responsibilities of each official is different. Of course, the high-ranking catchers led the search everywhere in the city, while the lower-ranking catchers and minzhuang were mostly sent to the mountains and countryside outside the city to search.

The magistrate is not at ease, afraid that those who catch fast and strong people will be lazy and slippery if no one is watching, and they will not seriously look for people. So, he put his most trusted and relied on Liu Zhutou in charge, and took these people to search outside the city.

Liu Zhutou divided the seven officials, including Ji Ruchen, into four groups, two in a group, and searched in four different directions. And he himself is in a group with Ji Ruchen, responsible for the west, that is, the direction where the Spirit Stone Mountain is located.

The reason why Liu Zhutou did this was actually because he had a lot of selfishness in it. He knew that the rest of the servants would definitely not be willing to do the drudgery of climbing the mountain, and it was likely that they would just go around the mountain. If the suspect is allowed to run away because of this, his responsibility as the head catcher will be great, and at that time, he will not only play the board, but he will even lose his errand.

So after thinking about it, he had to choose the drudgery of climbing the mountain by himself, and he asked Ji Ruchen to join a group with him, but he had the idea of letting this honest man climb the mountain for himself. First, he believed that Ji Ruchen would not be perfunctory, and secondly, he would wait at the bottom of the mountain, and it was impossible for Ji Ruchen to be lazy.

When the two of them came to the foot of Lingshi Mountain, it was almost noon, and the sun was very full, and people were a little unable to lift their spirits. Before Liu Zhutou could speak, Ji Ruchen, an honest man, took the initiative to say that he would just go up and take a look alone, anyway, the back mountain is steep, and ordinary people can't get through it at all, as long as they search all over the front mountain, they can rest assured.

Liu Zhutou was naturally very happy when he heard this, and said a few polite words, but he still let Ji Ruchen go up the mountain alone, while he himself found a shady place and fell asleep.

Ji Ruchen first went up the mountain steadily, and when he turned a slope, he was no longer in Liu Zhutou's line of sight, and he immediately sped up. I saw that his figure was like a spirit monkey, and he climbed over the steepest slope in a few vertical leaps, and he also reached the halfway point of the mountain, and climbed in a few vertical leaps, and soon reached the top of the mountain.

He walked quickly to the small bamboo house he had built, and said loudly, "Miss Qin, can you go in below?"

Someone in the bamboo house immediately answered: "Benefactor, please come in!"

Ji Ruchen stepped into the bamboo house, and saw that the Qin girl he had rescued the night before was sitting at the head of the bed, and her big eyes looked particularly dark and bright on her pale and thin little face.

He walked to the table and poured a bowl of water from the crockpot, brought it to Miss Qin, and asked with concern, "Does the girl feel better?"

Miss Qin took the water bowl and drank a few sips before she reluctantly smiled and said, "It's much better, thank you for saving the hero!"

Seeing her depressed expression, Ji Ruchen could probably guess what she was thinking, so she couldn't help but smile gently, and said, "If the girl really wants to thank me, live well! Since you have the courage to avenge your family, you should also have the courage to live, and we Yin people will never bow to fate!"

Miss Qin looked up at him suddenly, and two lines of tears suddenly slipped down her cheeks.

"Before I take on any business, I check who I'm going to do it. At the beginning, the girl left Han Rui's name in the mountain temple, so I found out how he killed your family and what he did to you.

I had planned to kill the thief somewhere else, so that the girl would not be involved. However, due to some unexpected circumstances, I had to act in advance, and I didn't expect to save the girl. It can be seen that all this is due to fate, which not only allowed the girl to take revenge, but also to escape the cage and regain her freedom.

I think the girl's family knows and must hope that the girl can live well for them. The girl still has a long way to go, so why not take advantage of this hard-won opportunity to start a new life?"

Miss Qin closed her eyes tightly, and let her cheeks wet with tears, but she finally opened her eyes and nodded firmly at Ji Ruchen.

....................................................................................................................................

After several days of searching, the officials of Lingshi County almost turned the inside and out of this small county town, but they still failed to find the hidden woman who had escaped.

Because the prescribed five-day period had already passed, all the head hunters and fast catchers who went out to search for people were given at least one beating. Everyone is their own person, so naturally it won't be too heavy, but you can't pretend to be under the nose of the magistrate, so everyone who gets a board will inevitably be lame for three or two days.

The worst thing is that even if you have just been beaten, you have to go out to find someone. As a result, in the streets and alleys of Lingshi County and in the countryside, you can see the big brothers who are covering their buttocks and lame legs everywhere, and it has become a funny and ridiculous scenery for a while.

Although the government has always been a great enemy to the hermit people, and it is necessary to get rid of them quickly, the attitude of most of the Dayu people towards the hermit people is very different from that of the government.

The former honest and kind neighbor suddenly became a hidden evil person, and was arrested by the government and executed in public. Ordinary people can't fully accept this kind of thing, and even if they don't dare to question it openly, they still oppose it in their hearts.

What's more, sometimes the government arrests people without real evidence, and even deliberately takes ordinary people who are not Yin people at all to fill the number in order to complete the quota issued by the imperial court every year.

Gradually, in the hearts of the people of Dayuguo, the killing of the Yin people has become a kind of evil government, although they dare to be angry but dare not speak, but very few people will assist the government to arrest people.

As a result, under the cold eyes of the local people, the officials of Lingshi County almost bent their waists and broke their legs, but in the end they still found nothing.

In desperation, Jiang Zhixian had no choice but to listen to Liu Zhutou's idea, secretly execute a female death row inmate in the prison, and then throw her body into a nearby river. Soon, Liu Zhutou led people to "accidentally" find the floating corpse in the river, and after salvaging it, it was confirmed that it was the hidden woman who escaped a few days ago......

When the dust settled, the officials of Lingshi County could finally take a long breath and no longer worry about the board. But before they could finish all their breath, another trouble came to the door!

Han Rui's body was examined and it was determined that he had been shot in the throat by a sharp arrow and died. However, no possible murder weapon was found at the scene, and everyone thought that the murderer had killed the deceased, so they pulled the murder weapon out of the deceased and took it away for fear of leaving physical evidence.

Now that the cause of death has been determined, it can be determined that this is a vendetta in the rivers and lakes, and the magistrate naturally does not want to do much, so he reports to the state government with the circumstances, and never asks about the case again.

Who would have expected that as soon as the matter calmed down, the envoy sent by the chief helmsman of the Loyalty League suddenly came to this remote Lingshi County. Subsequently, a disturbing news came out that the murderer who killed Han Rui was a hermit, and the murder weapon he used was the secret technique of the hermit tribe - the parting arrow.

As soon as he heard that the matter involved the hermit, Jiang Zhixian's head suddenly became bigger, this is really a wave of unsettled, wave after wave!

What Jiang Zhixian is worried about now is not whether he can catch the hidden assassin, but whether he will be caught. Once the matter of using a death row prisoner to pretend to be a hidden woman is revealed, he knows that the black gauze hat of the county lord will not be able to be saved!
