Infinite script kill

Chapter 592

"What are you doing!!"

Zhao Peng and the others were also inexplicable at the moment. They didn't know why officers and soldiers suddenly rushed out to arrest them.

"What are you doing? You guys are so bold. You dared to set fire to the barn last night. According to the law, if the damage caused by arson is five horses, you will be exiled for two thousand miles. If you lose ten horses, you will be hanged!"

The leading official, who is dark in appearance, speaks with a loud voice, which makes people's ears hurt.

As soon as this remark came out, even the people who eat melons were surprised.

"So you set the fire!!"

In this era, most of the buildings are made of wood, and the most feared thing is fire, so the law on arson is extremely strict, and the common people have zero condolence to arsonists.

A fire broke out in Zhenzhou that year, and half of the city was burned down at once, and the number of victims was unknown.

Therefore, what the common people are most afraid of is fire. A big fire may destroy their century-old business. When they heard that the fire last night was set by these people, their eyes immediately turned red.

"Set fire?? Not us, we didn't set fire!"

Liu Cai and the others were also officials, so they naturally knew how serious the crime of arson was, so they immediately denied it.

But the leading official didn't care about this: "Whether you set the fire, come back with us and check it out!"

"Presumptuous, what are you, dare to take us!"

Now Liu Cai and the others felt guilty, there were not a few people who saw the four of them last night, if the other party insisted that they set the fire, they would be in serious trouble.

Immediately reveal your identity.

But Zhao Peng on the side was the first to stop Liu Cai and the other four: "Since your lord said that our brothers set the fire, let us go with you, but this matter has nothing to do with us, so The adults just take them away."

Now Liu Cai and the others couldn't help but widen their eyes, and looked at the elder brother in disbelief.

Even Nie Haitang couldn't believe for a moment that the senior brother pushed the four juniors out like this.

But in the face of the questioning eyes of his juniors, his expression remained the same, and he patted Liu Cai on the shoulder and said in a low voice: "It's just right, you go to the cell to have a look. As for the arson, don't worry, I will take care of it myself." I will help you clarify."

"cell?"

Although Liu Cai didn't know why the elder brother wanted them to be sent to the prison, but out of trust in the elder brother, he nodded in agreement.

"Well, you think this is a vegetable market, and you come here to bargain, take all of them and leave no one behind!"

The leader of the black-faced officials was obviously not as easy to talk to as Zhao Peng thought. With a wave of his hand, all the officials immediately surrounded him. On the shoulder of a black-faced official.

"Look clearly, what is this!"

I saw Zhao Peng flicking up his clothes, showing the sign in his arms for the black-faced officer to take a look.

"You are... ouch, take it easy." Before the black-faced officer could say anything, he felt a sharp pain in his shoulders being pinched by Zhao Peng's fingers.

Zhao Peng let go of his hand: "If you know it, don't say it! Ask what you should ask, and don't ask what you shouldn't."

The black-faced officer's expression flickered for a while, and he waved his hands around: "Take the four of them away!"

The others didn't know what to do when they saw this, but since their heads were talking, they immediately put away the swords in their hands, pressed Liu Cai and the four left.

"Huntian Supervisor!"

Although Zhao Peng's movements were fast, he could not escape Xu Tong's eyes. He could see the words "Huntianjian" written on the sign in Zhao Peng's arms at a glance.

No wonder they wanted to track down the Moduo Sect, it turned out to be a member of the Huntian Prison.

Xu Tong thought about it, and sneered secretly in his heart: "I am worried that no one will stand up to be a target. Since you jumped out by yourself, it will save a lot of trouble."

Thinking of this, he already had a preliminary plan in his heart.

"It's him again!"

Seeing that Liu Cai and the others were taken away, Nie Haitang was anxious, but when she turned around, she saw Xu Tong who was sitting on the sidelines watching the fun. She was upset to see this guy, but seeing this guy is still watching the fun, let alone feel uncomfortable.

It's just that Zhao Peng has no time to take care of these things, and hastily left with Nie Haitang and junior brother Li Xinliang.

The three left, and Xu Tong also wandered back to the inn.

As soon as he went back, Guo Yi immediately rushed up and pulled his arm: "My lord, where are you going?"

"The town god's temple has a manifestation, I'll go and see the excitement."

It's okay not to mention the Town God's Temple, but when it comes to the Town God's Temple, Guo Yi also finds it inconceivable. They had just finished repairing the Town God's Temple, and the Lord Chenghuang appeared.

He hurriedly pulled Xu Tong inside, and asked in a low voice: "My lord, how did this City God appear?"

"How do I know how? Call everyone, let's go out to work!"

"Still going to the Town God's Temple?"

"No, go to the river to have a look."

Xu Tong read Yang Sanniang's pleading paper, and the matter was very simple. Yang Sanniang's husband was an honest fisherman.

Because he couldn't pay the so-called Heshensi's tribute, he was pulled by the Heshensi's people to do coolies.

As a result, she died inexplicably. Yang Sanniang had nowhere to sue for this matter, but was beaten up instead, and finally ran to the Town God's Temple.

The reason why Xu Tong took over this case was, on the one hand, that it was a side mission.

Side mission 2: The third sister complained

Mission description: Sister Wednesday's husband died strangely, but the prefect of Yuyang only said that he had slipped and drowned. Sister Wednesday had nowhere to sue, so she could only ask for help.

Task requirements: Find out the cause of death of Sister Wednesday's husband, Ma Liuzi, and hold justice for Sister Wednesday.

Mission time: three days.

Mission Penalty: None
On the other hand, the Town God's Temple has just opened, so we can't let Sister Zhou really bump her head to death inside, otherwise it will be a bad thing.

So today I simply went to the river to have a look.

By the way, think of a way to find out where the river monster is.

As soon as they heard that the son was going to do something serious, Guo Yi and the others immediately cheered up and accompanied Xu Tong to the river.

Yuyang claims to have nine rivers, but in fact there are not so many, but just a short walk north from the city gate is the mouth of the Sancha River.

There is the intersection of Ziya River, South Canal and North Canal, and the starting point of Haihe River.

From the top to the capital, from the bottom to the Binhai, of course, the capital of this era is not a good place.

So the business aspect is not as developed as it was in the future.

However, Tianjin's fishery is quite developed. In addition, it is an important city for stationing troops and repairing rivers, which can strengthen shipping capacity and improve people's livelihood.

It's just that in the past two years, every repair will kill people. Xu Tong's previous three river inspectors all died inexplicably.

That's why Xu Tong didn't go to the governor's office to report, but planned to start from another angle, first find a way to kill the river monster, and then go to the governor's office to report.

When the group came to the mouth of the river, they saw that the front of the river was full of mud, and some bare-armed men were digging hard on the bank.

A slight negligence, someone on the side picked up a whip and whipped it down severely.

"My lord, these people are all from Heshensi."

Guo Yi didn't seem to inquire too much. Looking at the badges on these people, he knew that this person was the God of the River, who was said by the common people to be more terrifying than the God of the River.

The so-called Heshen Division is actually an agency set up by the Yamen in a clever name. There is neither formal reporting nor official appointment, and the recruits are all those ruffians.

These people were not good people in the first place, and when they put on official clothes, they behaved even more fearlessly.

Seeing that an old man was already dizzy from exhaustion, the other party went up and beat him severely, regardless of his life or death.

"Hey, these scumbags!"

Seeing this, Guo Yi couldn't help cursing secretly, people like him can't look down on these mermaid meat towns.

"What are you looking at, get out!"

Just as they were talking, a supervisor came over to signal Xu Tong and the others to leave, but he didn't pay attention to Xu Tong and his party.

They are the river gods, and they can be regarded as officials, not only officials, but also represent the river god.

No matter whose son you are, you have to make a detour when you see them.

Xu Tong glanced at the man, but with a smile on his face, he stepped forward, took out a piece of silver and handed it over.

The other party looked at the white silver, his eyes were straight, and he was not polite to Xu Tong, he snatched the silver and put it in his arms, raised his head and wished to point his nostrils at Xu Tong: "What's the matter?"

"In this way, I have a friend who was sent here to dig a river channel without paying the money. I wonder if we can accommodate him and release him."

Xu Tong squinted his eyes and asked.

"This matter...difficult!"

The man looked at Xu Tong, and said with his mouth curled up.

Xu Tong took out another ingot of silver and sent it up. Looking at the silver, the man nodded with satisfaction: "You are sensible, but I don't care about this matter. I will take you to see my lord."

"Hey, good good!"

Xu Tong nodded again and again, followed the man inside, and when he reached the embankment, he saw six or seven people sitting in a small shed, with wine and meat on the table, eating and drinking well.

The man signaled Xu Tong to wait, then walked into the shed, and whispered something in the ear of the bearded man. It was far away, but Xu Tong could hear it clearly.

"Brother, here comes a big fat sheep with money!"

The bearded man nodded calmly when he heard the words, and then motioned for Xu Tong and others to come over.

First he glanced at Xu Tong, and then at the dozen or so people behind Xu Tong, but he didn't pay attention to them. If it really mattered, why bother to come here and tell the magistrate, it's better than the emperor's decree.

"If you want to bring someone up, that's fine. If you take out 300 taels of silver, you'll take him away."

"300 taels! Are you crazy?"

Guo Yi was already quite sensitive to money figures, and when he heard this, his face immediately changed.

"Call, call, what kind of place do you think this is? If you can take money, take it. If you can't take it, hey, you just come in like this. Each person is 50 taels of silver. If you can't get it out, don't leave!!"

The bearded man stared, slapped the table and cursed.

Xu Tong waved his hand to signal Guo Yi not to be angry, and walked forward with a smile: "300 taels is too cheap, at least 500 taels."

"Ok??"

The bearded man was stunned, glanced at Xu Tong, and immediately grinned and said, "Hey, you're pretty good at Taoism. Tell me, what's your friend's name?"

As he spoke, the bearded man took out a roster from under his buttocks.

"Oh, my friend has a simple name, Ma Liuzi."

"Horse what??"

The bearded man was startled, and suddenly raised his head, but just as he raised his head, Xu Tong slapped him on the face: "Ma Dongmei!"
