A knife in love

Chapter 866

Seeing Fan Tong's orders, the Tolerance Detectives of the Luoyang Prefect's Yamen agreed reluctantly one by one.Liao Dagang sneered, and said, "Since Catcher Fan is helping Mr. Yu to speak, we have nothing to say. But the Xiuwu County Yamen doesn't even give us a meal, so we brothers can't be on duty hungry? Brothers, listen up, let's go out to eat right now, and ask the friends from the Xiuwu County Yamen to be on duty."

As soon as he said this, the police officers from the prefect's yamen in Luoyang cheered immediately.Fan Tong's complexion changed, and he was about to reprimand him, but Liao Dagang glanced at him, ignored him, and walked away. More than 20 Tolerance Detectives from Luoyang Prefect's Yamen followed behind Liao Dagang, talking and laughing loudly while walking towards the corner gate.

Fan Tong was in front of Yu Fan, Master Feng, Li Qiufeng and others, but he couldn't get angry with Liao Dagang.He cupped his hands at Yu Fan and Master Feng, and said in his mouth: "Master Yu, Lao Feng, what happened today is very offending, after what happened here, Fan will apologize to the two of you."

Yu Fan bowed his hand to return the salute, and said in his mouth: "It's easy to say, easy to say."

Fan Tong glanced at Li Qiufeng again, then turned around and chased after Liao Dagang and others.

Yu Fan said to Master Feng: "Right now, there is a rift between the prefect's yamen and us. I have to go to the prefect Han to explain this matter, lest some villains fan the flames and make things difficult to deal with. I will leave it to you here. You have to be careful, lest there will be another big change."

After Yu Fan finished speaking, he left in a hurry without waiting for Master Feng to speak.He and Li Qiufeng had a rift, and they were no longer as intimate as before, so he did not greet Li Qiufeng when he left.

After Yu Fan left with a few errands, one of the policemen gave a "bah" and said bitterly: "Those bastards in the magistrate's yamen are asleep when they are on duty at night. Pretending to be aggrieved is really fucking disgusting. If they really cheered up last night, how could the Jiang family brothers have their heads quietly taken?"

Master Feng frowned, and said: "You guys were all in the county government last night. The Jiang family brothers were killed in the county government. Why didn't anyone find out? Didn't there be more than a dozen brothers left in the bond room? Could it be that they all slept to death?"

A catcher said: "Master Feng, this is where this incident is so strange. It's not uncommon for you to know the four elders of the Jiang family, they are all ruthless. These four guys are only close to Master Zhang on weekdays, and even the county magistrate They don't pay for your lord's account, let alone us people? When they were on duty in the third shift, some of our brothers saw them go back to rest triumphantly. The yamen is guarded by people from the yamen of the prefect of Luoyang. The Jiang family brothers There were more than a dozen people patrolling the guards outside the resting room. But before dawn, some brothers on duty went back to rest and smelled the smell of blood in the room where the Jiang brothers slept. It's so miserable!"

The policeman shook his head while talking, but there was no trace of sadness on his face, but a gloating smile.The other four policemen also had smirks on their faces, as if they wished that the Jiang brothers would die sooner.

Master Feng said: "Remember, the Jiang family brothers are Master Zhang's confidantes, if he sees you like this, you will feel better."

The complexions of the several policemen changed, and they quickly put away their smiles, saying yes again and again.Master Feng said: "Since the magistrate's yamen went out to eat and drink, I have to work hard for you guys to guard here temporarily. After I settle Daxia Li, I will find someone to replace you."

Several policemen agreed repeatedly.One of the arresters said with a smile: "Master Feng, you can go and do your work. The prefect's yamen gang of bastards are not here, and everyone's spirits have improved a lot. Even if we let us stay here for a day and a night, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it." complain."

Master Feng gave a few more instructions to the crowd, and then led Li Qiufeng to the corner door on the right.After passing through the corner gate, instead of going to the back house, turn to the right.Go all the way to an inconspicuous small arch in the corner of the wing.Master Feng led Li Qiufeng through the small arch, and said in a deep voice: "The magistrate invited Hero Li to speak at the yamen. It is a kind gesture. Now that the magistrate Han and Commander Hu are in the city, so many lives have been lost in the Temple of the City God. These two lords will definitely not sit idly by. If Hero Li falls into the hands of these two people, I'm afraid they will use torture to extract a confession. The magistrate invited Hero Li back to the Yamen instead of sending him to Chengxi Prison, because he wanted to protect Hero Li thoroughly. "

Li Qiufeng nodded, and said: "Master Zhixian has good intentions, and he accepts it. However, those few arrests mentioned the murder of the Jiang family brothers just now, which is a bit strange. I have met these four people before, and their martial arts are really good. Weak. What's more, the guards in the yamen are heavily guarded. These four people were killed in one fell swoop, and the police in the yard didn't notice it. difficult."

At this moment, the two of them had passed through the small door and walked into a very narrow alley.Li Qiufeng didn't expect such a place to exist in the yamen, so he was a little curious.On the left side of this alley is the wing room of the back house of the yamen, and on the right side is a stone wall more than two feet high.The stone wall is made of large stones, which looks quite thick and strong.

Master Feng nodded, and said in his mouth: "Hero Li is really amazing, he pointed out the key point of this matter in one sentence."

When he said this, he stopped suddenly, turned his head and looked around, only to see that the alley was deep and deep, and there was no one other than the two of them.Then Master Feng lowered his voice and said to Li Qiufeng: "Actually, I think the same as Li Daxia. The death of the Jiang family brothers must be done by someone inside the yamen."

Li Qiufeng thought of this verse just now, but he didn't say it clearly.Hearing Master Feng's words at this time, he also nodded.The two walked forward again, and after walking about five or six zhang, they reached the end of the alley.I saw a small courtyard in front of me, with more than twenty steps in each direction.At the end of the left end of the courtyard, there is a stone house standing alone in the courtyard, which looks quite strange.

Li Qiufeng saw that the courtyard was surrounded by stone walls more than two feet high, enclosing the stone house, making this place no different from a prison, so he felt a little hesitant.Master Feng led Li Qiufeng to the door of the stone house, then stopped, turned to Li Qiufeng and said, "Hero Li, this courtyard is not big, but it has a lot of history. During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, General Li Jing once garrisoned Therefore, this stone house was built to enshrine Zhang Zifang Zhang Liang, the counselor of Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Zhang Liang was weak and could not charge into battle, but he was able to strategize and win thousands of miles away. Li Jing was the No.1 general of the Tang Dynasty and highly respected Zhang Liang. Only then was the Zhangliang Temple built at the camp. After Li Jing led the army to leave, the Zhangliang Temple remained. After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Zhangliang Temple became the land of Xiuwu County The temple and the county government office were built on the left side of this stone house. Taizu severely punished anyone who embezzled more than 60 taels of silver would be sentenced to death. Warning to later officials. In the stone house in front of us, there were five corpses that were skinned and weeded. These five people were all magistrates in Xiuwu County. The most embezzled 120 taels of official silver, and the least embezzled 58 taels. It is said that the county magistrate who embezzled 58 taels of official silver was originally sentenced to be executed, but the case was reported to the imperial court, and the emperor Taizu approved eight words. The peeled human skin was filled with straw, and placed together with his four predecessors in this earth temple."

When Master Feng said this, he stopped talking.Li Qiufeng looked at the stone house in front of him, but felt a little chill in his heart.

Master Feng paused for a moment, and then continued: "After Taizu passed away, no one used the torture of skinning and weeding again. Around the time of Renzong Dynasty, the magistrate at that time transported the five corpses here to be buried. The Earth Temple was also moved to the south of the city, and this stone house was enclosed in the back house of the county magistrate’s office. It’s just that there were corpses placed there and the Earth Temple was built here, so it was too dark, and very few people in the county office were willing to come here. Come on. Later, a county magistrate built high walls around the place, and it became like this. After Huang Zhixian took office, there was no taboo. He renovated the stone house and named it Jingsi Hall. Sit here for a while. Just now he ordered me to invite Daxia Li here, but it was a painstaking effort, not wanting others to disturb Daxia Li."

After Master Feng finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and pushed open the wooden door of the stone house.There was only a sound of "squeak", and the wooden door slowly opened inward.Master Feng said to Li Qiufeng: "Hero Li, please stop."
