"Open the door, open the door, open the door for Lao Tzu!"

The sky was faint, and the fog in the mountains had not yet dissipated, when I heard the sound of slamming the door outside the small courtyard.

The dilapidated wooden door "creaked" and made a painful sound.

Liu Yanchang stiffened a carp and turned over to get up. I haven't stopped for a while, and I don't know where the outside is today.

As soon as I opened the courtyard door, I saw a few angry people standing outside, wearing the clothes of the officials, and their identities should be the catchers in the county government.

"I didn't expect it to come so fast!" Liu Yanchang said secretly in his heart, looked at their bloodshot eyes, and asked, "What is the business of the people?"

A burly official with a full beard stepped forward and said, "Presumably you are Liu Xi, we are naturally here to get you, so you don't have to pretend to be confused!"

Liu Yanchang looked at the "clanging" shackles in his hand, and said with a smile: "It's not that I'm pretending to be confused, even if the government takes people, you have to pay attention to being a famous teacher." ”

"Famous or not, I will distinguish with you when I get to the county office. Brothers, don't grind your teeth with him, do it!"

"Okay, just take a look at the head catcher!" Several other officials each carried a saber and surrounded Liu Yanchang tightly.

According to Liu Yanchang's temper, he really wanted to punch all the way out. But once the matter involves the government, it will become very troublesome, just like in "The Legend of the White Snake". Bai Suzhen's thousand-year-old snake demon, how deep is his Taoism? When he saw a small county master, he still had to be honest and give up?

As long as you want to walk in the path of the world, you must act in accordance with the rules of the way of the world, otherwise the cultivators will be above the mundane, and the world will be even more chaotic.

"Since you can't use force, you can only use your brain!" Liu Yanchang thought to himself, no wonder Liao Huai'an is so insidious, and it seems that he is forced by reality. He still remembered that Fahai was the same, he never did what he wanted to do, and the enemies he wanted to clean up would either be angry with you or scared you to death, and in the end he would clean himself up.

Seeing that Liu Yanchang was not noisy or noisy, he was arrested, but a servant was puzzled, and said suspiciously: "Catch the head, did we take the wrong person?" This guy is as timid as a mouse, he can't even shout twice about wrongdoing, he dares to sneak into Zhao's mansion to kill people?"

The bearded head catcher said: "What do you care about so much? We are only responsible for taking people, as for whether it is right or wrong, whether it is wronged or not, it is all judged by the county master, and it is none of our business!"

The officials all mounted their horses, shackled Liu Yanchang, and led him behind him with chains.

Early in the morning, Qingxi Town exploded all of a sudden, the biggest rich man in the town, Zhao Yuanwai, died, and the poor scholar Liu Xi was taken by the government.

As a result, every villager has a version of "the scholar stabs the rich man at night" in his head, admiring Liu Yanchang's actions on the one hand, and rejoicing at Zhao Yuanwai's death on the other.

They hated this Zhao Yuanwai Zhao for a year or two, but they had long succumbed to his obscenity, and today they can finally say "Heaven is a good reincarnation, who does the sky spare?"

But they are all wrong, God will not punish the wicked for no reason, and what they can rely on is themselves after all. Heroes are not born superior, they just have the courage to put what they want to do into action.

"Head catcher, let's hurry back, I haven't slept all night, I'm so sleepy that I can't even open my eyes!"

"Didn't you sleep? Didn't Lao Tzu sleep! The county magistrate has an order, let us go to the Zhao Mansion to investigate and collect evidence, and we can rest after we are done!"

"Our county master still needs to investigate and collect evidence to handle the case?" Everyone had no choice but to beat their horses and follow behind the head catcher and go straight to Zhao's mansion.

Liu Yanchang followed behind and ran wildly all the way, although he was panting heavily, he didn't feel particularly tired. Listening to the conversation of the officials, his mind suddenly lit up, if the investigation and evidence collection they said was not for themselves, it must be for the county magistrate himself.

Liu Yanchang knew that Zhao Yuanwai and Jiang Dachuan, who is now the county magistrate, were students of Jiangyang Academy, and they worked together in Nanling County more than ten years ago. At that time, Jiang Dachuan was the county minister, and Zhao Yuanwai was the master of the chief bookkeeper, both of whom were adjutant officials of the county order. However, in just two years, Zhao Yuanwai came to Qingxi Town and became a rich man, and Jiang Dachuan was promoted to the county commander at the same time.

If nothing else, they must have done an unsightly deed in Nanling County back then, and the evidence that Jiang Dachuan wanted to search for was very likely to be the evidence that he and Zhao Yuanwai left together.

Of course, this matter is extremely secretive, and it is related to his own future, so he can only be handled by his henchmen, and even the other officials do not know the specific details.

Liu Yanchang carefully combed through his reasoning and guesses, although it is not leaky, at least it is reasonable, it is better to give him a try!

"Head catcher, your surname?" asked Liu Yanchang at the top of his voice.

The bearded man turned his head, glared at him and said, "Don't give your surname Zhang, if you have something to say, let it go!"

"It turned out to be Zhang Zhutou, disrespectful and disrespectful! You see that the morning market in the town has opened, and several brothers are also tired, why don't we go to the store to have a bowl of morning tea?"

The officials were overjoyed when they heard this, and said through Liu Yanchang's words: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being a scholar, and he is quite good at thinking about others!"

"yes, headcatcher. Look at the fragrant gruel with oil fruits over there, let's eat a bowl and then go!"

Although Zhang Zhutou was in a hurry, he couldn't say it clearly, and it was not good to save everyone's face, so he had to stop his horse and sit in the morning tea shop on the street.

"Zhang Zhutou, are you looking for something?" asked Liu Yanchang straight to the point.

"How do you know ·····?" Zhang Zhutou was drinking a bowl of gruel, and he was almost choked by this sentence, but he coughed twice to make him react, and said unhappily: "We are here to arrest you, a murderer, and by the way, we will go to Zhao Mansion to investigate and collect evidence, is there any problem?"

"The problem is that there is no problem, but as far as I know, your Jiang Zhixian is not a good and diligent official. Can you work hard for an irrelevant person in the middle of the night?"

"You should slap your mouth when you say this, how can you slander our magistrate?" It's just that this is a scene, and it doesn't have much confidence to say. After all, Jiang Dachuan's actions are the best for them, they haven't done a few good things, and they have really done a lot of bad things.

"Zhang Zhutou should know what I mean!" Liu Yanchang said vaguely, and sometimes ambiguous words are more lethal to those who are suspicious.

When Zhang Zhutou saw that Liu Yanchang looked like he had no last resort and was confident, he couldn't help beating a small drum in his heart, could he really know something? No, what happened more than ten years ago, he should have been just a child, how could he know? Unless he ······

"What the hell are you trying to say, I don't have time to spend time with you!" Zhang Zhutou raised his eyebrows, obviously a little out of breath.

Several other officials also wondered why the always bold and rampant head catcher had changed a little, and they seemed to be a little afraid of this scholar prisoner! No, it must be that I didn't rest well, and I was dazzled!

"As a subordinate, the first point is to share the worries and solve problems for the top boss, are you right?" Liu Yanchang saw the various changes in Zhang Zhutou's expression, and he was already eighty percent sure in his heart, and he came up with a plan as soon as his mind changed.

"What the hell do you want to say?" Zhang Zhutou took the case, and the already not deep city government was instantly exposed.

"The evidence is in my hands, if you want to share the worries of the magistrate, you should listen to my orders! Zhang Zhutou, do I understand what I said?" Liu Yanchang's voice became colder the more he spoke, staring at him deadly. The momentum is extraordinary and terrifying.

However, Zhang Zhutou is not a good type, haha sneered: "Little scholar, you are still too tender." If you don't say it, there is still a glimmer of life, don't you hear the truth that the more you know, the faster you die? Now you have saved me a lot of hands and feet, and I hope that under the heavy punishment, you can honestly confess!"

After a few silent words, the officials were completely confused. What kind of evidence and punishment sound like a trial of a case, but when you think about it carefully, there is something wrong.
