The fifty-eighth palm ascends to the hall

The three of them said they would leave, without a moment's delay. Liu Hongzhe finished settling the account, took the little fat man and Li Meng, and went straight to the outside of the city.

At noon, the sun is shining, and there are few pedestrians on the road. I guess I've just finished eating now, shaking a fan at home to cool off. The little fat man and the two followed Liu Hongzhe to the back mountain, which was full of intertwined trees and some undulating slopes. Liu Hongzhe led the two to a small thatched hill, pointed to it and said, "The cave is here." ”

The little fat man and Li Meng looked in the direction of Liu Hongzhe's finger, and saw that the grass in front of them was more than one person high, and they couldn't see that it was a cave at all. The little fat man was about to walk in to check, when he only heard the sound of a rope, and then saw a white shadow coming out of the thatch in front of him. The little fat man was concentrating on studying the thatch, where would he have thought of such a change, and his heart was shocked. The little fat man stretched out his hand to pull out the treasure knife to defend himself, and then looked at the white shadow, which had already arrived in front of Liu Hongzhe. Only then did the little fat man see clearly that this white shadow was the silver wolf he had seen in Fulong Valley.

Li Meng is a girl after all, seeing the silver wolf's face change suddenly, and then seeing the silver wolf standing in front of the master, sticking out his tongue, and affectionately touching his palm, she guessed in her heart that this white wolf may have been raised by the master, and she was relieved.

It turns out that this cave is relatively hidden and cannot be easily discovered by ordinary people. Liu Hongzhe entered the city during the day, if he brought a silver wolf, it would definitely be too shocking and cause panic among ordinary people. So, when he came to look for the little fat man, he asked the silver wolf to hide in this cave temporarily. When the little fat man and the three of them came just now, the silver wolf had already noticed it, and when it saw that it was Liu Hongzhe, it rushed out excitedly, bluffing the little fat man and Li Meng a big jump.

The little fat man still wanted to go into the cave to have a look, but Liu Hongzhe stopped him and said, "Little fatty, you don't have to go in." I could see it all inside, except for a bag of silver, there was only a skeleton, and a dagger was stuck in the skeleton. I guess someone stabbed me and hid in this cave in a hurry. As for how he died later, maybe he starved to death, maybe he bled to death. However, there is no need to delve into any of this, the point is that he has a bag of silver there. It was dark inside, and I couldn't see anything clearly, so I just asked Xiaobai to go in and take out the silver.

The little fat man heard what Uncle Shi said and felt that it made sense. There is a black rumbling in this cave, in case there are any snakes, insects, rats and ants, take a bite, it will not be sad. So, the little fat man hurriedly nodded in agreement with Uncle Shi's suggestion. Liu Hongzhe squatted down and muttered a few words in the ear of the silver wolf. I saw that the silver wolf jumped back into the thatch. After a while, I saw the silver wolf jump out with a green cloth bag in his mouth. After coming out, the silver wolf put the burden at Liu Hongzhe's feet.

Liu Hongzhe picked up the burden on the ground, shook his hand and handed it to the little fat man. The little fat man took the burden, felt heavy, shook it slightly, and could still hear the silver inside hitting and making a crisp sound. Looking at the green cloth bag again, it seems to be some years. The little fat man should not shake it hard, for fear that the green cloth bag will be shaken and the silver inside will leak out.

The little fat man gently untied the burden, and as soon as he opened it, under the reflection of the sun, the silver shone dazzlingly, almost lighting up the eyes of the blind little fat man. The little fat man looked at the silver, and both eyes were straight. He had never seen so much silver at one time! This bag of silver, if you look at it, is about two or three hundred taels. The little fat man swallowed a mouthful of saliva, forcibly pressed his salivating heart, handed the silver to Li Meng, and said, "Senior sister, you can put away this silver, and prepare to prepare according to my ideas in the next few days." ”

Li Meng glanced at the master hesitantly, as if he was asking for his master's opinion. Seeing Liu Hongzhe nodding slightly, Li Meng happily took the silver from the fat senior brother.

"Oops!" the little fat man shouted, his face changed greatly, and said, "It's not good, I still have a task in the afternoon, and I'm almost going to be delayed." Now that I won't talk to you, I have to go back to the yamen quickly. In the future, if I have the opportunity, I will talk with my uncle and sister. After speaking, the little fat man said goodbye to Liu Hongzhe and Li Meng, trotted all the way, and ran towards the city.

After the little fat man entered the city, he went home to change into his clothes, and was relieved to see that there was still some time before he arrived at the yamen. Before the little fat man walked to the yamen, there was a deafening sound of "dong dong dong" drumming in his ears, and the sound came from the direction of the yamen.

The little fat man was taken aback and somehow drummed. When the little fat man was confused, he saw Jin Buyan running from behind. Maybe he came in a hurry, his clothes were not neatly dressed, and he arranged the crooked hat he was wearing as he ran.

The little fat man saw Jin Buyan panicking, and asked puzzledly, "Brother Jin, what happened?"

Jin Buyan ran to the little fat man, took a breath, and said loudly: "Little fatty, go quickly, someone is beating the drum and shouting injustice!

The little fat man suddenly realized that he was about to ascend to the church. The little fat man has been here for two days, and there has been no case yet, and today is the first time.

"Let's go! If you delay, the prefect will be angry!" Jin Buyan said to the little fat man, and ran towards the yamen again.

Seeing that Jin Buyan had run away, the little fat man also brushed off his thighs and chased after Jin Buran. The two-hundred-pound little fat man, the sound of stepping on the ground, is so rhythmic. Some people in the neighborhood who were sleeping on straw mats on the ground were startled by the sound, thinking that it was an earthquake, and ran in a panic.

When he arrived at the Yamen, the little fat man saw that his colleagues had almost arrived. Because they all came in a hurry, they all looked disheveled. Yesterday, the Kim brothers had already taught the little fat man some steps to ascend to the church. When the little fat man saw that everyone else was going to the stick, he also quickly took one and stood beside Jin Buyan.

The drums continued to beat outside, and I saw the prefect hurriedly walking out of the back hall. The prefect is wearing a black black gauze hat today, wearing a bright red official uniform, and a little fat man is embroidered on the official mansion and looks like a peacock and a big bird like a phoenix.

The prefect sat down in the middle of the lobby, under a plaque hanging high in the mirror. Under the stage of the prefect, there was a bookcase, and in front of the bookcase sat a middle-aged man of forty years old with a mustache. The little fat man remembered that his surname was Zhao and he was the master of the Yamen.

The prefect majestically glanced at the subordinates standing in front of the hall, slapped the startled wood hard, and shouted: "Who beats the drum? Jin is not stained, gold is not floating, bring the drummer to the hall!"

"Yes, my lord!" Jin Buyan and Jin Bufu answered, carrying sticks and walking outside the yamen.

The little fat man came in in a hurry, and vaguely glimpsed that the drummers were two men, and he was afraid of delaying the prefect's ascension, so he didn't have time to take a closer look, so he entered the lobby.

Shortly after the Kim brothers went out, the drumming stopped. The effort is not big, Jin Buzhi Jin Bufu brought two people in. As soon as these two people entered the lobby, the little fat man remembered the words taught by the Jin brothers, and shouted with the crowd: "Wei ...... Wu ......"

The twenty or so people shouted together, and the momentum was quite huge. The two men shuddered and quickly fell to their knees. When the shouts of the catchers stopped, the two spoke together and said loudly: "The grass people knock to see the prefect!"

The prefect stared at the two people in the audience and asked loudly, "Who is kneeling, who is the plaintiff, and why is the drum beating?"

As soon as the prefect's words fell, I saw the old man kneeling on the left speak: "Lord Hui, the villain Lai Yubo is the plaintiff." Today, the villain I crossed the bridge with an ancestral celadon vase and was hit by this person. Lai Yubo said, pointing to the forty-year-old man in front of him, and said, "After I was hit by him, the vase in my hand fell off my hand and into the river. The river is so deep that it will definitely not be recovered. Ask the adult to call the shots and let him pay the villain vase. ”

After listening to Lai Yubo's words, the prefect felt that someone knocked off the vase in his hand and fell into the river. The loss should be compensated by another person. The prefect had not yet spoken, but the other had spoken. I only heard him cry and say: "Lord Prefect, this can't be blamed on the villain! The villain Li Da, the cart passed over the bridge today, and he was walking steadily. Whoever is halfway there, the oncoming man crashes into my car, and the vase in his hand falls into the river. The villain was not to blame for this, he just dragged the villain. The villain had no choice, so he was dragged to the yamen. Ask Lord Qingtian to be the villain's master, this matter is really not to blame the villain!" After speaking, Li Dadong knocked his head several times.

"My lord, he's talking nonsense! It's obvious that he hit the villain with his car, and he still doesn't admit it. Lai Yubo hurriedly interjected on the side.

When the prefect heard this, he was in trouble. The situation in front of him is that the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable, which is very tricky! When the prefect has not yet made up his mind, the little fat man is indeed frowning on the side. Because the person who lay down and knelt was the old man who was lying on the child and blackmailing himself on the day he came to Lianyun Mansion to report. Fortunately, I was witty that day, so I was not deceived by this old man. Seeing the situation in front of him, the little fat man estimated that it was the old man Lai Yubo who made a fake vase, pretending to be a family heirloom and blackmailing Li Da. Then Li Da is probably not sure now whether he hit Lai Yubo by himself. And the vase has also sunk to the bottom of the river, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to recover, and now there is no proof of death. Chubby thought to himself, this case, I'm afraid it's not so easy to break.

The prefect pondered for a while, and then asked Lai Yubo, "Lai Yubo, how much is your ancestral vase?"

When Lai Yubo heard this, he said in his heart: "There is a door!" So, he made a heartbroken appearance and said: "Back to my lord, the vase of the villain was passed on to my grandfather by my great-grandfather, and my grandfather passed it on to my father." Finally, my dad ......"

The prefect listened to Lai Yubo's words, Luo Li was stunned, frowned, patted the startled wood in his hand, and said loudly: "Pick up the key points!"
