A knife in love

Chapter 2362
With the light of the two lanterns above his head, Li Qiufeng saw Xu Yingyang's face showing a little complacency.He thought to himself, Yang Zhenzhong is very smart and has been using me to deal with his enemies.Xu Yingyang is keen on fame and fortune, seeing that Yang Zhenzhong refuses to make things difficult for me, he must think that I am Yang Zhenzhong's confidant, and regards me as his opponent for promotion, maybe he will harm me at any time.I have to be careful, not to have any extravagance.

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng turned his head and said to Murong Danyan, Qi Jiu, Wang Xiaoyu, Master Miaohui and the others: "Master Xu has great martial arts skills and extraordinary ingenuity, and now he has set up a net to catch the pirates all in one go." .We have to obey Master Xu's orders and act, and we must not make arbitrary decisions."

Seeing that Li Qiufeng praised Xu Yingyang so much, Wang Xiaoyu was very dissatisfied.It's just because of Murong Danyan's face, but it's hard to refute.She thought to herself, the man surnamed Xu was so rampant, yet the hero Li also agreed.Hmph, I'm not convinced.No matter how powerful the surname Xu is, can he be stronger than Liu Sheng Zongyan? !
Before leaving Wangjiazhuang, Xu Yingyang had already made arrangements and had a plan in mind. After hearing what Li Qiufeng said, he frowned deliberately, pretending to be thinking hard, and said after a long while: "What's the situation in the county magistrate's office now?" , we don’t know at all. However, Li Baihu said that the old thief Yagyu’s subordinates were all dead and wounded, and the remaining killers also followed Yagyu Dan Mashou in rebellion. Now Liu Shengdan Mashou is going to sea to meet the Fusang army, and they still have to send People guard Dashuigou, and there will not be too many Japanese pirates staying in the magistrate's yamen, otherwise we will definitely send powerful people among the Japanese pirates to guard the gate. After we enter the yamen, we will first arrest the false magistrate and force him to identify the Japanese pirates , things will be much easier.”

Li Qiufeng and the others had no objection.Xu Yingyang ordered four brocade-clothed guards to stand guard at the gate of the yamen, and he, Li Qiufeng and others walked into the yamen swaggeringly.Wang Xiaoyu took advantage of the Jinyiwei guards around him not paying attention, deliberately fell behind Li Qiufeng and the others, and gently tugged on Murong Danyan's sleeve when they were not prepared.Murong Danyan was startled, seeing Wang Xiaoyu winking at her, signaling her to slow down, although he was puzzled, he followed Wang Xiaoyu and fell behind.

After everyone entered the courtyard, Murong Danyan and Wang Xiaoyu mixed among the nuns of Yongtai Temple.Wang Xiaoyu saw that Jin Yiwei was far away, so he lowered his voice and said to Murong Danyan: "Sister Murong, a hero with great martial arts skills and great wisdom, why is he so obedient to Xu, as if he is very afraid of him? According to me Seeing Xu's pretentiousness, he is not a good person."

It was only now that Murong Danyan knew why Wang Xiaoyu deliberately left behind the crowd. It turned out that she had something to say to herself, but she was afraid of being heard by Xu Yingyang and Jin Yiwei, so she slowed down and mixed in with the nuns.Murong Danyan thought for a moment, then whispered to Wang Xiaoyu: "Brother Li has worked in Jinyiwei, so he naturally knows who the surname is Xu. Presumably he is very afraid of the surname Xu, so he pretended to be like this on purpose. Even though the person surnamed Xu is not a good person, our biggest enemy right now is the Japanese pirates, and if we want to defeat the Japanese pirates, we must rely on the strength of Jin Yiwei. Brother Li has his reasons for his pretentiousness."

Wang Xiaoyu was annoyed, and said in his mouth: "You can't say that. The surname Xu is a high-ranking official, and it is his duty to deal with the Japanese pirates. It's not that we borrow the power of the Jinyiwei, but that the surname Xu has to deal with the Japanese pirates. I have to ask for our help. I just can't understand the face of a hypocrite surnamed Xu who pretends to be good after getting cheap. I only hate my poor martial arts and can't beat him. Otherwise, I must catch this guy so that I can beat him to vent my anger. .

When the two women were speaking, everyone had already walked to the front of the lobby.I saw that the hall is five rooms wide, and it is very tall.The gate was closed tightly, and a large plaque was hung directly above it, with five gold characters "Main Hall of Dongliao County" written on it.On the two black-painted pillars in front of the hall, there are gold couplets hanging on the pillars. The gold couplet on the left side reads "to deceive others is like bullying the sky, don't deceive yourself", and the gold couplet on the right side reads "If you lose the people, you lose the country". How can you bear it?"There are four lanterns hanging on the top of the left and right corridor pillars. With the light of eight lanterns, the situation at the main entrance of the lobby can be seen clearly.

At this time, the courtyard was completely silent, and there was no one in sight.Xu Yingyang swaggered up the stone steps until he reached the entrance of the lobby.A guard in Jinyi rushed to open the door for Xu Yingyang before he was in front of him, and bowed to the side.Xu Yingyang stepped into the lobby, and two Jinyi guards walked in after him, each lighting up a fire folder to guide Xu Yingyang.Wang Xiaoyu walked into the hall with the crowd, and seeing Xu Yingyang's power, she thought to herself, this dog official's aggressive appearance is really annoying.Right now I can't do anything to this dog official, after I have practiced martial arts, I have to fight this dog official, so that I can get rid of the bad breath in my chest.

When everyone walked into the lobby, several guards in brocade clothes lit the gongan and the candles on the wall with torches, and the originally dark lobby suddenly lit up.I saw a high platform set up in the center of the lobby, which was about a foot higher than the ground, and in the center of the high platform was a three-foot-high koan, on which were placed the four treasures of the study and red and green head lottery.There is a grand master chair behind the koan, and on the wall behind it is a picture of sea tide and day.

Xu Yingyang walked up to the case, glanced left and right, and said, "Although Dongliao County is a remote and small county, the magistrate's office is not small."

When Xu Yingyang was speaking, two Jinyi guards walked quickly to the high platform, lifted the grand master's chair back a few feet, and asked Xu Yingyang to sit behind the public case.Xu Yingyang shook his head, stood under the high platform and looked around, refusing to sit down.The two guards in brocade clothes bowed their hands and stepped aside, daring not to speak again.

Wang Xiaoyu and Liu Shengdan Mashou once went to the magistrate's yamen to meet the magistrate Li Zhisheng.But at that time Li Zhisheng met the two in the back house, so Wang Xiaoyu had never entered the main hall of the yamen.At this time, seeing all the furnishings in the main hall, I was very curious, pointed to the red and green sign on the public case and said to Murong Danyan: "Sister Murong, what are those red, green and green pieces of wood used for? Look at the appearance Similar to a dagger, is it a hidden weapon?"

Although Murong Danyan's experience in the world is far higher than that of Wang Xiaoyu, she has never been to the Yamen, so she naturally doesn't know what those sticks are, but she knows that they will definitely not be hidden weapons, so she whispered to Wang Xiaoyu : "Li Zhisheng is undoubtedly a corrupt official. He staggers around when he walks. He doesn't know martial arts at all. How can he use hidden weapons? Even if this person hides his secrets and has martial arts, he will not put hidden weapons on the public case." .These sticks are colorful, and I don’t know what they are used for.”

Qi Jiu stood beside Wang Xiaoyu, listening to her talking with Murong Danyan, couldn't help but interjected: "Those sticks are used by the county magistrate when trying cases. The green-headed signatures are arresting lottery, and the magistrate ordered to arrest people quickly." At the time, the arrest warrant will be issued to the arrester as a token. The red-headed signature is the criminal signature. When the county magistrate judges the case, if the prisoner refuses to confess, when the prisoner is to be sentenced, the criminal signature will be handed over to the guard. Criminals use punishment."
