They talk in the tea shop like this, and they don't care about others. Yu Yan and Wu You are bold artists, Li Shaoxi and Zhao Jing will not pay attention to those rough people in the countryside, and the girls have no experience in the rivers and lakes. So everybody just had a good chat.

The owner of the tea shop had already followed Yu Yan's instructions and asked his family to run away first, while he and an old man went to the county seat to buy some clean items for a few people. The other tea customers are divided into two kinds, the timid and afraid have already paid the tea money and gone home, and the bold and happy ones stay here, drinking tea unhurriedly, waiting for Cheng Erye to kill a "return gun".

These people have a very deep understanding of Cheng Erye. Sure enough, when Yu Yan and the others were chatting, a few officials suddenly came in from outside the door, each with a black face, and went straight to the big table in the middle.

The leader was carrying a knife at his waist, his eyebrow bones protruded, the corners of his eyes drooped downward, his two big eyes gurgling outward, and his face was full of muscles. Yu Yan glanced at him, and remembered the truth of the Jizo Bodhisattva sitting down in the temple.

The man didn't say a word when he came, and directly greeted his subordinates: "Four men and four women, there are many of them." Come on, lock them all up for me and take them away. ”

The man behind shook the chain in his hand and pounced. Wu You didn't even pull out the knife, picked up a saucer on the table, and threw it at the nearest person's eyebrows.

Yu Yan saw that Wu You had a murderous intent, and he was quick and slapped the saucer thrown by Wu You at once. When the porcelain clay saucer fell to the ground, it was not broken, but completely sunk into the stone bricks laid on the ground, as if the craftsman had embedded it with craftsmanship.

"Slow!" Li Shaoxi said, "Who are you? Why are you arresting us?"

The official at the head of the group said "hey" - he didn't even notice the vision of Wu You and Yu Yan just now throwing a saucer and a teasaucer, and said that the two of them broke the tea saucer by mistake - and said coldly: "There are quite a lot of words! Let me tell you, we are from the Yamen of Wujiang County, you collude with mountain bandits, kill people and goods, kill people for money, steal men and prostitutes, and corrupt the program." Master, I'm going to arrest a few of you and bring them to justice today. ”

Zhao Jing's face turned red and hurriedly said, "Why are you framing us!"

The official smiled and said: "I framed you? Hmph, as soon as you make a move, you will be a silver ticket of 1,000 taels, if you don't collude with mountain bandits, kill people and steal goods, and kill people for money, where does this money come from? If you four men and four women have matchmaking marriage contracts? If not, aren't you male thieves and prostitutes, corrupting the program!"

Zhao Jing was speechless with anger. Xiao Shan was about to argue, but Yu Yan stopped him and smiled at the officials: "Since Big Brother Cha has identified us, we can only clear our innocence in the lobby." ”

As Yu Yan spoke, he took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and said, "One hundred taels for each big brother." He handed the silver ticket to the official at the head of the officer, and said, "The rest is yours." ”

Except for Wu You, the rest of the people didn't understand the meaning of Yu Yan.

The official took the silver ticket, looked at it, then turned around and said to the others: "Now that the government is handling the case, the idle people should leave quickly." The servants who followed him began to blast away the tea customers who wanted to see the excitement. Although these tea guests still wanted to take a second look, they did not dare to disobey the orders of the officials, and hurriedly left.

The servant turned his head again, and now his eyebrow bones were still prominent, the corners of his eyes were still drooping, and his eyes were still grunting, but the anger on his face was gone, but there was a flattering look. He smiled at Yu Yan and them, smiling like a flower, but the flower was about to wither. He said: "As soon as I look at your appearance, I know that you are definitely not bad people. You are generous because you are a big family. As he spoke, he took all the silver tickets into his arms, and then said, "But Second Master Cheng went to the county government to sue you, and we also came by order, and we couldn't help ourselves." But a few rest assured, there must be nothing wrong. ”

"But we 'colluded with mountain bandits, killed people and sold goods, and killed people for money', and 'men and women robbed prostitutes, and corrupted Ganglun', this crime is not small. Yu Yan said deliberately.

"Hey, what's this. When the time comes, you just need to prepare a meeting gift for our lord, don't say that you are not guilty, that is, you really have those crimes, and our grandfather can ensure that you are okay. ”

"But in this case, didn't that Second Master Cheng commit the crime of framing?"

"You don't have to worry about him. I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. You didn't give him face in the tea shop just now, that's why he fabricated charges to sue you. Why don't we care if others sue us, but we will take care of his complaints? Because he is the county lord's brother, he won't have any trouble. When the time comes, all our lord has to say is that the evidence against you is insufficient, and you will all be released. and then commended Cheng Erye for his vigilance, and he also had to be good. ”

Wu You said in his heart, this surnamed Cheng is really narrow-minded and will be revenged, at that time, I saw that when he left, he was harmful to people, and it seems that this person should not stay in this world.

The official continued: "Don't hide it from you, whoever colludes with the mountain bandits, who robs and prostitutes here, isn't it all this Second Master Cheng!." ”

Yu Yan looked back at everyone, and everyone realized that Yu Yan was using the money to buy the true faces of these people.

Zhao Jing said: "Then don't your county commanders know about this?"

The official smiled "hehe" and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, don't let the little ones be embarrassed." Since you're fine, why not take a trip to the county office?"

Yu Yan said: "It's okay for us, but the torture hall is too heavy, and the four girls can't stand it." ”

The official smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid we won't be able to explain this." ”

Yu Yan said with a smile: "Brother Cha, when the time comes, I will finish the county order, and then your master may let you send us back in a sedan chair." It's easy for you to get all of us there now, but it's not easy to send us all back then. ”

The official thought to himself, the county lord usually only recognized silver, and these people had silver tickets, but they couldn't afford to provoke them, so they had to nod and agree.

So, Yu Yan, Wu You, Li Shaoxi, and Zhao Jing went to the county government with the officials. Before leaving, Yu Yan told Yao'er to let her take care of the other three. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, we went not only nothing, but we will also be back soon." ”

However, Zhao Ying and Zhao Wei were secretly worried: Li Shaoxi and Zhao Jing had never been to such a place, and the vicious county magistrate did not know their identities, so what would they do if they were punished, especially Zhao Jing's golden body.

Xiao Shan whispered to the two of them: "The county order only recognizes money, and will not be punished." Besides, my eldest brother Yu and eldest brother Wuyou have so high kung fu, they can still let them be tortured?!-

Wujiang County Ya, the county magistrate is eating wine with Cheng Erye in the back hall.

Cheng Erye picked up his wine glass and said, "Big brother, the little brother has lost a lot of face today, you have to make the decision for the little brother." ”

Wujiang County Ling also picked up the wine glass, touched it with Cheng Erye, drank it all, and said: "Second brother, don't worry, after Xu Bantou brings back these boys today, I will beat them eighty boards first." Beat them until their skin was torn apart, and then condemn them. It just so happens that the mountain bandits are going to be arrested, aren't these people just sent to the door!"

As he was talking, the Xu Bantou who looked like "Di Ting" came. He arched his hand: "My lord, the few people you let us arrest, the small ones have all brought back to you." ”

The county magistrate was very happy, put down his chopsticks, and beckoned Cheng Erye: "Go, go, let's go and have a look together." ”

So the two of them, accompanied by Xu Bantou, bypassed the screen wall from the back hall to the main hall. The officials on both sides of the hall hurriedly stood in two rows, holding shocking sticks in their hands, but they did not shout. The county magistrate looked down at the hall and saw that only Yu Yan and four men were either standing with their heads held high or looking around, not so much suspects as tourists. The county commander couldn't help frowning, and said in a strange voice: "Xu Bantou, I remember that Second Master Cheng exposed four men and four women, why did you only bring me four men?"

Xu Bantou lowered his voice and said, "Master, please see." As he spoke, he stuffed a stack of silver tickets from under the table to the county magistrate, "This is a few of them who are filial to your old man." ”

The county commander had already learned from Cheng Erye that these people were generous. When he counted the silver tickets, there were 5,000 taels, and he was dumbfounded. I originally wanted to make a fortune from these strangers, but now that I can have such a big harvest, I am naturally overjoyed and happy. He saw that the four of Yuyan in the hall were gorgeously dressed and had an extraordinary bearing, and the four people in his heart must have a lot of background, so he had a plan in his heart. It is said that since this county magistrate guessed that these four people were not small, he should be extra careful, but he was greedy and shallow in his knowledge, so he swallowed the five thousand taels of silver tickets before opening the court.

This trial process is not exhaustive, and naturally there is no reason to embarrass them. The verdict is not exhaustive, and the head of the Xu team has guessed correctly before: Yu Yan and several people were judged innocent by the county order, and the second master of Cheng was also commended by Zhang Bang for his enthusiastic report. Afterwards, the county order and Cheng Erye Jiuyi divided the five thousand taels of silver tickets. Cheng Erye was commended, got the silver again, his grievances were smoothed out, and he felt that he had regained his face. The county magistrate got such a large sum of money during the day, and he was so happy that he even invited Yu Yan and a few people to tea. Yu Yan hurriedly refused, and the county order saw that he was reluctant again and again, so he had to give up. Yu Yan and Wu You looked at the group of ugliness in the county hall with a smile, and only Li Shaoxi and Zhao Jing were angry. They live in the Forbidden City, and they are used to hearing Taiping nonsense on weekdays, and they have never seen a group of ugly dancers and bending the law for personal gain in broad daylight. But the two of them were in a limited situation, so they had to write down the matter silently, and then think about how to deal with it when they returned to the palace-

On the way back to the tea shop, Wu You suddenly stopped and let the other three go first, leaving him behind. Yu Yan probably guessed what Wu You meant, although he felt that this was a suspicion of grass and sloppiness, but he knew that Wu You was reluctant. This world is full of holes, and everyone has their own opinion on whether these wicked people should be punished or punished. So Yu Yan only beckoned Li Shaoxi and Zhao Jing to go first.

Looking at the backs of the three of them in the distance, Wu You turned around, and Mu Li was in the middle of the road. At this time, there were no other pedestrians on the road, but Wu You had inquired along the way when he came, and those people would definitely pass by.

Sure enough, after a short while, a few people came in the distance. It is Cheng Erye, Mr. Luo and several members of the Cheng family.

Cheng Erye saw a person standing in the middle of the road from a distance, it was Wu You, and he was very puzzled.

When he stepped forward, Cheng Erye laughed dryly, and was about to say something, but when he saw a flash of golden light in front of him, Wu You turned around and left quietly without saying a word.

Cheng Erye still wanted to call him, his mouth was slightly open, but he couldn't speak, he felt cold under his neck, as if there was wind blowing into the windpipe from the outside. He lowered his head to see what was going on, but as soon as he lowered his head, his head fell off. Cheng Erye's eyes were like the sky was spinning, and he felt that his head fell heavily on the ground, and his eyes widened in pain, but he saw that his body without a head was standing upright.

At this time, it was almost dusk, and under the residual sun, several headless corpses on the ground were like flagpoles planted on the ground, dragging long shadows.
