A knife in love

Chapter 2072
Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Wang Xiaoyu's heart moved, and he couldn't help but said: "I'm talking about the shopkeeper, you can't interpret what you say casually. These things are all said by Miao Zhu. How can he know that the dog official, What are the gamblers and Uncle Ji thinking about? If he doesn't know, it's even more impossible for you to know. Why do you talk about this as if you saw it with your own eyes, and you even know what those people are thinking clearly? Did you say it clearly? I’m afraid it’s not enough to believe it?”

The shopkeeper was startled, then gave a wry smile, and said: "Young lady's words are not bad, I'm just an ordinary person, how can I have such abilities? These things are indeed what Miao Zhu said, but many things were told by the two Hu Daxians. He listened. Hu Daxian has great supernatural powers, and he can see through people's minds just by looking at them. How difficult is it to guess the dirty ideas in the minds of those dog officials?"

Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Wang Xiaoyu couldn't refute it, but he refused to believe it all in his heart.I only heard the shopkeeper continue to say: "Master Zhixian and Uncle Ji have made an appointment for a game, but when I went back to the back hall, I thought that my brave and invincible general was dead. Although there are more than a dozen crickets in my hand, they are not ordinary. , but compared with the brave and invincible general, it is far behind. Judging by the calm appearance of the man surnamed Ji, I am afraid that he still has many powerful crickets in his hands. If he fights with him seven days later, I lost the betting game under the eyes of everyone, not only had to give this person 1000 taels of silver, but also lost face in front of the officials and the people, this was a big fall.

Thinking of this, the county magistrate was very anxious, and hurriedly called the master, the book office, the head catcher and other buddies, and asked them what good ideas they had to help him win the bet.The head catcher was originally a bandit, but after getting the benefits of the county magistrate, he immediately defected to the magistrate's door and became the head catcher of the county magistrate's office in Wangqi County.This person is vicious and cruel, and has helped the magistrate, a dog official, do many bad things, and is one of the magistrate's most powerful accomplices.After hearing what the county magistrate had said, he patted his chest and said, why not bring someone to kill the bastard surnamed Ji tonight, grab all his money, and dedicate it to the county magistrate.Then bury his body in a deep mountain, or tie a stone and sink it into the bottom of the river, so that this bastard will disappear from the world, and the gambling game will be canceled after seven days, and the county magistrate will not have to worry about it.

"The magistrate was a little bit moved when he heard what the head catcher said. Before that, the magistrate had done a lot of things that secretly sent the head catcher to lead people to kill and injure people. He did it without anyone noticing it. If the person surnamed Ji was secretly killed It's a good strategy to destroy the corpses and traces. It's just that the magistrate has not yet spoken, and the master shakes his head repeatedly. He told the magistrate and the head hunter that after the game ended badly, he sent capable officers to find out about Uncle Ji. It is said that when Uncle Ji came to Wangqi County for business this time, he brought more than 40 servants with him, and booked the largest inn in the county. And according to the report of the servants, how many of Uncle Ji's servants were born with holes Wu Youli, I'm afraid he knows some martial arts. If the headhunter leads someone to kill Uncle Ji, firstly, he may not be able to succeed, and secondly, even if he succeeds, he must kill all the people in the inn, otherwise the news will surely be known. In this way, at least three or forty people will be killed, and the case will be cleared. Not to mention the magistrate's yamen, even the governor's yamen will definitely not be able to suppress such a big case. Therefore, this is absolutely impossible, otherwise It will definitely bring disaster.

"After the magistrate heard what the master said, he was also taken aback. He knew that he could not act recklessly, so he scolded the arrester a few times, and then turned to ask the master for advice. The master said to the magistrate, since the surname Ji wants to marry the adult Fighting crickets, then we will fight him well, and we may not lose to him. Zhixian shook his head and sighed, only saying that his brave and invincible general had experienced many battles, but was released by a dog thief named Ji The cricket is defeated. Judging by the confident appearance of Ji, he must have many powerful crickets in his hand. If he enters the gambling table after seven days, he is not sure of winning. At that time, under the watchful eyes of everyone, if he loses the game , If you want to turn your face against Ji, I'm afraid it's already too late.

"After the county magistrate finished speaking, the master smiled and said, Your lord is too worried. The betting match didn't say how long the fight will last. Even if the surname Ji still has a powerful cricket in his hand, he can't hold us back. The county magistrate couldn't understand what the master said, but seeing his confident appearance, he was surprised and happy, so he asked him to explain in detail. Then the master said calmly, seven days later, the gambling There is no doubt that my lord will win the competition. But we have to prepare well in advance to ensure that the surnamed Ji loses. This person is not from our Wangqi County, but just a passing merchant. Even if he has a powerful cricket in his hand, How much can there be in total? My lord might as well issue an order, requiring every family in the city to pay a few crickets to the yamen. Within a few days, all the crickets in and outside the city of Wangqi County will surely fall into the hands of your lord. Eight or nine thousand. After seven days, the adults will fight the crickets surnamed Ji, and we will release the crickets one by one to fight the crickets surnamed Ji. The crickets are exhausted. He didn't say how long he will fight with the adults' crickets, so as long as we have enough crickets, this bet is sure to win.

"After the master finished speaking, the county magistrate, the book office, and the catcher immediately applauded and praised the master for being smart. The county magistrate immediately asked these bastards to issue an order that all the people in the city should pay crickets to the magistrate's yamen. He was about to be taken into prison and tortured. Tens of thousands of people inside and outside the city heard the news. Although they felt that it was ridiculous in their hearts, they scolded the eighteen generations of the dog official's ancestors, but everyone knew that the county magistrate was cruel and vicious. If you don’t hand over to the cricket, you will definitely be caught by him and thrown into the prison. At that time, the money that is extorted for the ransom will not count. If it is light, you will be disabled, and if it is serious, you may even have to throw your life in the prison. Therefore, the people dare to anger I didn’t dare to say anything, so the whole family went into battle and caught crickets everywhere.”

The shopkeeper sighed at this point, and then continued: "Among the people who were looking for crickets like crazy, there were me and my wife, son and daughter-in-law. If these dog officials say a word, we The ordinary people have to obey their orders obediently and work hard to serve them, otherwise there will be a catastrophe. The world is in such a mess, how can we ordinary people live?"

Wang Xiaoyu was also thrilled to hear it, and thought to himself, no wonder I heard the people in Dongliao County say "the magistrate who copied the family and killed the county magistrate".I hate that I am messing around in Wangjiazhuang and Dongliao County. Naturally, the yamen will not embarrass the eldest lady of the Wang family, so I don't know that ordinary people are squeezed into such a state by the government.When I sneak into the magistrate's office of Wangqi County, I must kill that dog official with a sword!
