Elaborate on the world of mortals

Chapter 22
Not only did Yi Shuyuan's voice sound exactly like He Xin's, but it also seemed to be contagious. After hearing it, even the county magistrate Lin was already furious.

"The evil merchant's big boat is now parked at the pier of the county seat, and he is still having fun on the boat. There are still women on board who have been cheated or kidnapped like me. I only hate that although I am a ghost, there is nothing he can do, so I beg Mr. Du Come and complain for me"

After Yi Shuyuan finished saying this sentence, the magistrate Lin, who had already heard his anger, slammed down the gavel.

"Crack~"

"Come on, hurry up and arrest the important criminal Jia Yuntong at the wharf outside the south of the city, there must be no mistakes—"

"Obey! Brothers, come with me!"

A black-clothed policeman waiting for orders in the outer hall led eight policemen and rushed out of the county government office. The nine people who were rushing like wind all passed by the white-clothed woman at the door, but no one could see the expression on her face. excited her.

Yi Shuyuan swayed slightly at this moment, then stood still, panting while facing the position of the case, and bowed his hands to salute the county magistrate.

"My lord, the county government office is protected by my vigor and strict righteousness. The ghost cannot stay for long. Miss He Xin has returned to wait outside the office!"

This is Yi Shuyuan's own voice.

Just now the ghost spoke clearly and politely, not to mention the appearance of harming anyone. Magistrate Lin is not as scared as he was at the beginning. Hearing what Yi Shuyuan said now, he felt more at ease. He looked Yi Shu up and down Yuan, then nodded again and again.

"Mr. Yi is tired, come and show me a seat!"

"Thank you sir!"

Yi Shuyuan cupped his hands to express his thanks. Seeing the yamen servant move the seat, he thought for a while and said to the county magistrate with some emotion.

"My lord, Mr. Yi is compiling the county annals. Your lord will interrogate the lonely soul at night to seek justice for him. This matter must be recorded in the Yuanjiang county annals and will last forever!"

County magistrate Lin was taken aback for a moment, then nodded belatedly, with an inexplicable look on his face.

Sentencing the people every day, and ending the grievances at night, this matter was recorded in the book. Just thinking about it made County Magistrate Lin a little excited. He took a deep breath, and another attitude rose in his heart. so pretty!

"Mr. Lao Yi is here, just record it truthfully!"

"Yes."

Yi Shuyuan responded and walked to the side, the master over there had already stood up.

"Mr. Yi, please!"

After Yi Shuyuan cupped his hand, the two sat down together, and the master carefully came over to ask a question.

"Mr. Yi, Miss He Xin is now" "waiting outside the door."

"Oh"

Master nodded, followed the direction indicated by Yi Shuyuan and looked out of the empty gate, feeling as if there was a dark wind blowing, he couldn't help tightening his clothes.

And out of sight of others, He Xin, the female ghost in white, was gratefully saluting Yi Shuyuan.

Yi Shuyuan heaved a sigh of relief, this woman is much more normal now, no more black blood from her seven orifices, and he thought about those arresters who left quickly just now, they moved quickly and seemed to know martial arts, and hoped to bring them back That evil businessman.

Outside the inner hall, the county lieutenant came late. Seeing that the yamen warrior had lost a lot of votes, he asked the old coach on the side about the situation. After the two whispered a few words, they also chose to leave the yamen to go to the dock to have a look.
-
At the south gate of Yuanjiang County, nine arresters came in a hurry, and it wasn't just the nine of them who were going to arrest the criminal, there was also a strong squad of government servants.

"I'll be ordered to arrest the important criminal, and quickly open the city gate—"

The yamen servant guarding the city gate came out wearing his clothes while yawning, glanced at the policeman with a fierce face, and asked the strong squad who came beside them.

"Haha~~~ It's so late at night, brothers, who are you arresting?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Quickly open the city gate, and the escaped criminal will ask you!"

When the arrester spoke, there was anger in his voice, and the foreman who guarded the gate was so frightened that he hurriedly opened the city gate with his brothers.

As the heavy city gate slowly opened, the policeman and a group of government servants rushed out immediately, and the county pier was less than two miles away, and the lanterns on the pier and the lights on the boat could be seen from the gate of the city.

All the arresters have been taught Gongmen martial arts, even the yamen servants have two hands, at least better than ordinary people, a group of people quickly arrived at the pier, there are many boats, big and small, parked here. There are four or five ships.

"You, you and the rest of you go there, and you go to the other side. Let's investigate separately. First find out which boat the guy is on. Don't act rashly. After we find him, the brothers will board the boat together and arrest him!"

"Yes!"

Several waves of people, led by experienced policemen, quickly found out the boats coming from Luozhou by asking the people on the pier, locked on the boats of merchants in Jiangzhou, and notified their colleagues to come over. It took about half a cup of tea. On that day, nine arresters and sixteen yamen servants gathered in front of the building boat.

It seemed that the boat was still singing and dancing. Apart from the sound of music, there were also sounds of frolicking and scolding from time to time, making it very noisy.

In the darkness, more than 20 people wearing tall square crowns gathered outside the boat and looked upwards.

"Humph!"

The catcher snorted coldly, and said to the left and right.

"I'll wait until I get on the boat, and first stop the boatman. Lao Yu will take you and a few people to guard the sides of the boat and seal the front and rear entrances. Remember to pay attention to our movements and play by ear, understand?"

"understand!"

"on!"

In the next moment, two police officers with good lightness skills jumped up and landed on the deck of the building one after another. Then they put down the gangplank together, and the people below rushed up immediately.

"Hey, who are you?"

"Yuanjiang County Yamen handles the case, idlers wait to get out of the way!"

The head catcher violently swept away the person who had just stepped out of the deck, led a group of people to the main hall of the building, and kicked towards the gate.

"Bang~"

In the brightly lit hall, the music stopped abruptly, and the woman in cool clothes who was dancing also ran to the corner in panic.

All the people in the hall looked at the entrance in astonishment, and a group of vicious arresters rushed in.

"Who is Jia Yuntong?"

The head catcher yelled and asked, but his eyes had locked on the fat man in the center of the hall. The person sitting at the top should be the evil businessman, and his appearance also matched.

The catcher waved to the left and right.

"It must be this person, catch him! Don't let the others go, take them all away!"

"Yes!" "Take orders!"

All the arresters rushed forward like hungry tigers rushing for food, and there was a sudden chaos in the hall, and there was a lot of screaming.

"Ah—" "No!" "Help!"

"None of my business, none of my business"

The others were just arresting people, while the two police officers rushed towards Jia Yuntong, who backed away in panic and screaming.

"What crime have I committed? Why am I being arrested?"

"capital offense!"

A police officer gritted his teeth and responded, reaching out to grab Jia Yuntong.

But at this moment, a foot suddenly kicked the catcher's hand, and then another palm hit him on the shoulder.

With a "bang~", a policeman flew to the side, and the policeman next to him shrank his pupils and drew his knife immediately.

"Zheng~"

"Dare to resist arrest, take your life—"

"Zheng~" "Zheng~" "Zheng~" "Zheng~"

All the arresters at the scene drew their knives, and many people rushed towards Jia Yuntong's direction, only to see one person swaying from side to side, avoiding many knives and slashing, moving around the arresters like a ghost.

"Bang" "Bang" "Bang".
Three more officers were knocked into the air.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, the head catcher also drew his sword and stepped forward. With a powerful strike, the opponent was forced to move two positions away. Kicking it away, the head catcher couldn't help but take a few steps back.

At this moment, the scene in the cabin was chaotic, many people had been controlled by the yamen servants, and many arresters had already collapsed in the corner, struggling to get up.

There were screams and screams of pain.

The only standing people confronted each other in the hall.

"Who is your Excellency, why did you stop us from arresting the important criminal? This person has committed a heinous crime. If you protect him, you will be an accomplice!"

Standing opposite the head catcher and the rest of the catchers was a middle-aged man in a blue shirt. He had big arms and long arms, and his posture was slightly bowed, like an ape lying low and lazy. He protected Jia Yuntong behind him, facing him. He didn't seem to care about the captor's angry shout, and said with a smile.

"Take people's money to eliminate disasters. You can't take this person away. I just kept my hand because I didn't want to get entangled with people in the Gongmen. I just said hello. If you still want to force me, I will not be polite!"

Jia Yuntong was terrified just now, but seeing Momentum Wuyou now, he eased his breathing, took something out of his pocket, and said hastily.

"Masters, there must be some kind of misunderstanding about this matter. I have some silver taels here. How about using it to drink flower wine?"

"Oh? Misunderstanding? But someone filed a complaint at the county government. Since the county lord has ordered it, you will know if you go to the county government by mistake!"

The head catcher knew he was invincible, but he didn't show his cowardice. Instead, he gave a wink to the person guarding outside the cabin, and the man jumped out of the boat silently under the cover of the head catcher's deliberately raised voice. up.

"It must be a misunderstanding, it must be a misunderstanding! Do you know who complained?"

The head catcher thought for a while, with a strange smile on his face, he said in a faint and cold voice.

"It's not a person who complained, but a ghost beating drums to cry out for grievances, causing the Yamen to be promoted in the middle of the night. That ghost's name is He Xin!"

The catcher had been paying attention to Jia Yuntong's expression, and when the name He Xin came out, the other party's body trembled violently, and the catcher couldn't help but sneer.

"Hmph, are you scared? Even if we can't catch you, the ghost will come to you and claim your life. Do you choose to go to the county government office, or wait for the ghost to come?"

The head catcher narrowed his eyes and said softly.

"You killed more than one person."

Jia Yuntong on the other side turned pale.

"Nonsense, nonsense! Oh, there is no ghost, there must be someone who framed me."

"Is it nonsense, I tell you and you will know."

The head catcher is 43 years old this year. He used to be a fast catcher in the Chengtian government office for many years. His martial arts may not be high, but his experience is not bad. When he returned to his hometown a few years ago, he was immediately hired by the then county magistrate as a fast catcher in Yuanjiang County. He naturally knew that this moment was a combination of attacking his heart and delaying time.
