Chapter Twenty-Eight: Escape from Danger
"I didn't kill me!"
Liu Qiaoyun also hurriedly helped: "Lord Zhixian, my brother is not a person who kills innocents indiscriminately, you must believe him!"
Liu Yanchang said: "Actually, the two of them aided in the abuse, and wanted to blame me for the girl's death, but the death was actually not unjust." ”
Meng Tingxuan stared at Liu Yanchang with his eyes and did not speak, as if he wanted to tell the truth from his face. It's a pity that after a long time, Liu Yanchang's face didn't change, so he had to give up and muttered: "Why does this official believe you?"
"Just because you and I have the same purpose, we both want to know the truth of the matter. I think you also know the fate of the previous county magistrate Cui Yingshi, and you don't want to be confused, so you just followed his old path, right?"
Meng Tingxuan's eyes narrowed: "What do you mean by this? Could it be that you are threatening this official?"
Liu Yanchang shook his head: "Why should I threaten you? One of the purposes of my coming to Ziyang County is to find out the situation in Cui Zhi County, and I think this is also one of the responsibilities of your coming here as an official." ”
"To be honest, Cui Zhixian once had a favor to me, so one of the main purposes of being an official in Ziyang County is to fulfill Cui Zhixian's unfulfilled wishes. It's a pity that the official's ability is limited, not only has he failed to change the status quo of Ziyang County, but it has become more and more intense, and he really has the heart to die of shame. I don't know what you have to do with Cui Zhixian, but you also have this thought?"
"Entrusted by someone!"
"Entrusted by someone?" Meng Tingxuan thought for a while, and suddenly remembered that Cui Yingshi still had a daughter wandering outside, and he didn't know where he was, so he hurriedly asked, "Could it be that you have seen Cui Zhixian's daughter?"
Liu Yanchang said: "You also know that he has a daughter?"
Of course, Cui Zhixian's family of three was arrested by the emperor's order and sent to the Criminal Department for justice. However, when the Yamen of the Criminal Department sent someone to get people, there were only Cui Zhixian and his wife, and their daughter was missing, and she has not been found until now, do you know?" Meng Tingxuan suddenly came to his senses, and looked at Liu Yanchang with blazing eyes.
"I was entrusted by her, and I hope that Meng Zhixian can help without hesitation!" Liu Yanchang arched his hand, he thought that it would be difficult to explain things clearly, but he didn't expect that now he would have a relationship with Meng Tingxuan.
Meng Tingxuan was not stupid, of course he would not believe one-sided words, and said with his eyes: "If what you say is true, this official should do his best, but how can you prove that what you say is true?"
"It's not possible yet, I'll arrange it when I get to Ziyang County. ”
Liu Qiaoyun and Bai Biao were confused by the second monk, looking at the two of them suspiciously, not knowing what the two of them were talking about. However, the conversation between the two is not like a teacher asking for guilt, but like an old friend reuniting, which makes them feel much more at ease.
Meng Tingxuan asked, "Are you also going to Purple Sun City?"
"Exactly, the government is indispensable for the investigation of cases, but I didn't expect to meet the magistrate here, but it is beautiful. Besides, I want to come here to study and finish my unfinished studies. ”
After the point of the giant willow, Liu Yanchang realized more and more the importance of various identities in the world. For example, if you have the opportunity to be an official, your every move will be related to tens of thousands of people, and as long as you serve as an official for one party, you can easily accumulate infinite merits. For a practitioner, although it will waste some of the cultivation time, the benefits of merit are even more considerable.
Of course, the accumulation of merit is only one of the aspects, if you can become a god in the flesh, and combine the cultivation of immortal and Shinto, it is an irresistible temptation. It's just that this path is full of countless sinisters, and once you get lost in the various desires of the world, you will lose your heart and completely cut off the foundation of your cultivation.
There is a saying that is very true, that is, the pay is often proportional to the return, want to get more, want to become stronger, naturally encounter more difficulties and obstacles.
Because of Cui Yingshi, Meng Tingxuan no longer clings to the matter in front of him, after all, there are more lice and no more debts, and Ziyang County is not short of these three murders. It's just that now he is full of messy things, and he can't figure out the slightest clue, where to let go of it.
The most important thing is that he has no available people at all, Meng Tingxuan thought about it, looked at Liu Yanchang and suddenly had an idea, and said with a smile: "Little Brother Liu, you are also a martial arts official, since you have the heart to rehabilitate Zhaoxue for Cui Zhi County, why don't you stay in the yamen to help me?" After being a county order for such a long time, he can be regarded as knowing that his original team is not available at all. If you really want to make a difference, you have to start anew, and Liu Yanchang is the first person he is ready to recruit.
Liu Yanchang said: "The adult said that he wanted me to be a head catcher?"
"Exactly, you also know what kind of people are in the yamen, if you help, I think things will be much easier!" Meng Tingxuan understood his problem very well, that is, there was more than benevolence and righteousness and not enough bravery. But there is a prerequisite for this, that is, Liu Yanchang really knows Cui Wan'er, and he really wants Cui Yingshi to redress his grievances.
Liu Yanchang said: "If the adults just want a good head catcher, I have a better candidate, and I will recommend it when I return to Ziyang City." As for now, Juliu Town can't stay for a long time, so let's leave as soon as possible!"
"This?" Meng Tingxuan frowned, listening to Liu Yanchang's words, his heart was full of doubts. It's just that Liu Yanchang and they want to leave, and he can't keep it, so he can only hesitate and say: "I hope you are a credible person, at least don't deceive your sister!"
"Adults can rest assured at this point, although I am not a very good person, at least I will practice what I say!" Liu Yanchang's eyes were firm, although there was still some childishness on his face, but he was full of self-confidence and high-spirited righteousness. Meng Tingxuan's words of advice could no longer be spoken. This young man has a power that touches people's hearts.
Meng Tingxuan hesitated for a long time, and finally glanced at Liu Qiaoyun, but still chose to believe it, and suddenly stood up and said: "Okay! Then let's leave now and rush back to Ziyang City! To be honest, there is not much time left for this official, so I will just accompany you to gamble!"
Before leaving, Liu Yanchang told Bai Biao about what happened to Baixian Nunnery, saying that there were indeed ghosts in it, and he still couldn't slack off after returning to the village. If he wants to live a stable life, he can only wait for him to completely destroy the White Immortal Nunnery.
Bai Biao nodded solemnly, after all, it is not enough to have courage to fight with manpower, no one can not be cowardly. But in the end, he said that if he had a place to find them, as long as he sent someone to deliver a letter, he would lead the whole village to help.
The carriage slowly drove away from Juliu Town, gradually disappearing into the night mist, and the fire at the entrance of the village continued, and it was estimated that it would burn until dawn at least.
