ruffian mixed in ancient times

Chapter 176 "Suspense"

Guo Zhixiao saw that the county magistrate had a dark face, and when he saw that the two yamen servants dared to attack Brother Zhen, when he wanted to shout, the generals on both sides quickly kicked the two yamen servants out.

The county magistrate saw that the two yamen servants had just touched the sleeves of this stern-faced young man, and immediately they flew to both sides, and two strong men came out and stared at him, with a gesture of killing him with a knife, and shouted in panic. :"Big"

Before he could say that courage, Guo Zhixiao angrily reprimanded: "Presumptuous, magistrate, let's see what this is?" After finishing speaking, he took out his King Lin's seal from his bosom and held it up high.

Zhixian looked at his hand with a dark face, and carefully confirmed in horror, "You, you, you are the king of Lin."

The yamen servants who were kicked to the ground on both sides of his question suddenly got up from the ground in horror, knelt down on the ground and dared not make a sound.

With a cold face, Guo Zhixiao handed the seal to Mo Chou beside him, "Show him."

Mo Chou expressionlessly approached the county magistrate holding Lin Wangyin.

The county magistrate was so frightened that he was sweating coldly. When he saw the letter seal, he was in front of him in a blink of an eye. He took a closer look, and it was true that this dragon was Wang Yelong, and the purple seal letter was Lin Wang.

After confirming it, Poutong knelt down on the ground, "The guilty minister offended the prince, the inferior official is guilty, and the guilty minister deserves to die."

Seeing that he gave in, Guo Zhixiao snorted and said, "A small Qipin county magistrate is so bold, do you know who the person who talked to you just now is?"

When he asked, the magistrate carefully raised his eyes and looked at lame Ah Zhen, shaking his head like a drum.I was very flustered, besides the emperor, who else could make King Lin follow behind?Surprised!Could it be that Lord Hades is here.

Seeing him shaking his head, Guo Zhixiao snorted, "I'm sorry you don't know, but this person is Da Sima."

As soon as the words fell, the county magistrate was paralyzed on the ground in an instant. It was indeed the king of hell who came. It is sad to think that he was an innocent official, but he was not killed by the corrupt officials, but died in a disrespectful way.

Ah Zhen was dumbfounded, is he so scary?The county magistrate was so frightened when he heard his name, and the two yamen servants next to him looked like they wanted to pass out, kneeling on the ground and cramping non-stop.Looking at it, he and Liu Fengyang looked at each other, it was too exaggerated.Liu Fengyang shrugged as if he didn't know what was going on.

"Hmm!" Ah Zhen cleared his throat, and there was a soft hum in the silent main hall, and the county magistrate and yamen servant fell to their knees and trembled even more exaggeratedly.

Well, let him be the bad guy, Ah Zhen sighed, he doesn't have a good impression in everyone's mind, he hates being a bad guy, he hates it.

"This time, Sima's incognito service came to inspect officials from various places, but now his identity has been exposed here. He should have killed you to silence him."

When he said this, the three of them immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Great Sima, please forgive me, please forgive me, the villain will never dare to reveal the whereabouts of Da Sima."

Seeing them like this, Ah Zhen's suppressed laughter almost burst out of his fart, he cleared his throat and continued: "Ben Sima is in a good mood today, since you are begging for mercy so much, then I will spare your life, get up. "

After finishing speaking, the three of them cried non-stop, kowtowed their heads and thanked each other a thousand times, and slowly stood up in fear.

Ah Zhen wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes after seeing the magistrate get up, secretly dumbfounded, corrupt officials are afraid of him as a matter of course, but did not expect honest officials to be so afraid of him, what kind of gentleman is frank is farting, it should be said that the idiot is frank.

After they stood up, Ah Zhen raised his face and ordered to the two tearful yamen servants: "I want to talk to your master, you two go out."

The yamen servant was frightened, and after retreating in fear, he disappeared quickly.

After the yamen servant left, he walked to the main table with a straight face, turned around and sat down, and asked the magistrate with a blank face, "Speak." A big man should look like a big man, and a big man should be majestic, with a face like the king of Hades. .

Seeing him sitting down, the county magistrate hesitated and stood in front of him and said weakly, "The next official, the next official, let Li Nengwu go right away." Da Sima's domestic slave can't be offended, can't offend him.

When he said this, Ah Zhen slapped his face on the table angrily and reprimanded: "Bastard, what kind of person does the magistrate think of Ben Sima? Is Ben Sima the kind of person who can frankly protect domestic slaves?" A big man must look like a big man , It's hard to be a big shot.

When he slapped the table, the county magistrate was startled, and in an instant he fell to his knees and begged: "Da Sima, forgive me, Da Sima, please forgive me, the guilty minister is wrong, the guilty minister is wrong."

Seeing this, Ah Zhen narrowed his eyes, is this what an upright official looks like?No matter how you look at it, it is worse than corrupt officials. Shouldn't this cleansing of corruption be all powerful and unyielding, speaking out, upholding the law, and refusing to obey it?
"Get up." He slowed down and called Zhixian up, fearing that the loud noise would scare him to death.

"Yes" the magistrate stood up tremblingly, without saying anything.

Seeing his appearance, Ah Zhen sighed, and couldn't ask anything like this, "Magistrate, what's your name?" Everything was just to ease the atmosphere.

The county magistrate listened to Da Sima's question and hurriedly clasped his fists and replied: "The surname of the next official is Hong, and the single name is Rui."

Ah Zhen nodded and said cordially: "Hong Rui, my name is Lin Ah Zhen, you can call me Ah Zhen directly." The tone was very kind, like a brother who hadn't seen him for many years.

When he said this, Hong Rui waved his hands and feet, and begged for mercy in panic, "I don't dare, I don't dare."

"Okay, then you can call me son, don't call me Da Sima, you know? I go on tour in low clothes." Seeing that he was so frightened, Ah Zhen found a name for him.Da Sima, Da Sima screamed all day long, how could he not be afraid.

Hearing what he said, Hong Rui nodded like garlic and said, "Yes, yes, my lord."

This call was really more pleasing to the ear, "Hong Rui, what was Li Nengwu doing when he broke in through the window? What did he say?" Ah Zhen directly turned to the topic.

Listening to his question, Hong Rui didn't dare to play tricks this time, and said what should be said: "When he broke in through the window, Li Nengwu was drunk and fell asleep in the room. He couldn't wake him up until the yamen servant poured a bucket of water on his head, and then he woke up in a daze."

Ah Zhen squinted his eyes and continued to ask: "Then what did Li Nengwu say after waking up?"

When he asked, Hong Rui frowned and said: "When Li Nengwu woke up, the head catcher asked him if he had killed Qin Nu? Li Nengwu didn't answer, and he didn't say a word. When the head catcher saw him like this, he was arrested and brought back to the court. Officer interrogation."

"How did he say?"

"At first he pleaded not guilty, and kept saying that it was impossible. The officer then analyzed everything, and then he said, "Hong Rui raised his eyes while talking, lame Ah Zhen.

"What did you say, say it quickly." Ah Zhen urged, how can you catch a cold at a critical moment.

Seeing his urging, Hong Rui quickly replied: "He said, if this is the case, then maybe, maybe Qin Nu was killed by him."

After Ah Zhen listened, he uttered a sentence: "Damn." He raised his eyebrows and asked Hong Rui: "One possibility, one possibility, you just let him sign it?"

"No, no, there is circumstantial evidence." Hong Rui shook his hands together.

"Oh, who's the circumstantial evidence?"

"It's Shi Zheng's circumstantial evidence."

"Let's hear it." Is this Shi Zheng Li Nengwu's friend?
"Yes." Hong Rui thought for a while and said, "According to Shi Zheng, Li Nengwu came to him to borrow money four days ago in the afternoon, saying he was going to the imperial city. Shi Zheng borrowed 200 taels from him and saw that it was getting late. They persuaded him to stay in the remote Pengyun Inn for one night, and the two said goodbye again, and of course they drank together until midnight, until Li Nengwu passed out drunk and left."

Ah Zhen nodded and asked, "Did anyone see Shi Zheng leave?"

"Yes, the inn was not closed at that time, and the shopkeeper and the two waiters in the famous store all saw it." Hong Rui reported the truth.

Hearing what he said, Ah Zhen pursed his lips and asked, "Did you see the wine tank when you entered the room?"

"Yes, the big wine jar was smashed to the ground?"

"Ask someone to sell me a cylinder that is exactly the same."

"Yes." Hong Rui didn't dare to disobey, went out to confess to the yamen servants, and then turned in again.

Ah Zhen rested his hands on his forehead and closed his eyes in deep thought. Seeing him like this, everyone dared not disturb him, and stood beside him quietly waiting.After waiting for a long time, he opened his eyes and walked to the front of the hall when the servants came back with a big vat of wine, "Bring the wine and me into the prison."

This time, a large group of people came back to the dark cell without hindrance. Seeing the master coming, the prison got up in fright and said, "Master!"

Hong Rui ordered, "Lead the way to Li Nengwu's cell." The prison squirmed, not daring to disobey and ordered them to go into the cell.

The quiet cell was still dark, and there were faint cries and voices of women.When this voice came, everyone was puzzled.

"Why?" Just as Hong Rui was about to ask the prison, Ah Zhen hissed, Hong Rui immediately fell silent, and the surroundings returned to silence.

There were bursts of crying and weak voices coming from the depths of the cell.

"Eat something"

"Eat something"

"Please eat something"

The persuasive voice of a woman begging the prisoner to eat resounded.

Then there were bursts of crisp bangs, like the sound of a bowl being smashed to the ground, and then the surroundings returned to dead silence, and then the woman's weeping could be heard endlessly.

After hearing this, Ah Zhen sighed in his heart, who is so obsessed?
After the voice disappeared, Ah Zhen said to the prison: "Lead the way." A group of people walked deeper into the prison.

When I was still some distance away from Li Nengwu's cell, I vaguely saw a young woman kneeling in front of his cell. The young woman was weeping weakly.

As he approached, in the dark cell road, Ah Zhen saw that kneeling in front of Li Nengwu's prison was Yirou, the official's niece.Seeing him this time, he couldn't help being curious, what's the relationship between the soft clothes and Li Nengwu?Why is she here?
Yirou heard a voice beside her, raised her tears and looked to the side, and saw a large number of people walking towards her, she quickly wiped her tears away in fright, not knowing what these people were going to do to Brother Nengwu.

When Ah Zhen first arrived, after taking off his clothes, he turned his eyes and looked at Li Nengwu's cell, and saw that he was still arrogantly leaning against the wall with his eyes closed, neither saying a word nor moving.

Seeing this, Ah Zhen couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, he is really a diehard, "Open the cell door."

Hearing what he said, the jail looked at their master hesitantly, and dared not take any action.

Seeing that the prison was still in a daze, Hong Rui shouted, "Open it soon."

After drinking, the prison did not dare to hesitate any longer, and hurriedly took out the key and opened the lock in an instant.

Seeing that the cell door was open, he gestured to the yamen servant who was holding the wine, "Bring this jar of wine in for him to drink."

The yamen servant immediately walked in with the wine in his arms, put the wine jar beside him and shouted at Li Nengwu: "Drink!"

Li Nengwu still didn't open his eyes and didn't make a sound, he leaned against the wall and treated this large group of people as if they didn't exist.

Liu Fengyang wanted to beat him up every time he saw him. Li Nengwu looked like this, and Liu Fengyang immediately provoked his anger again, "Brother Zhen, let Feng Yang go in and beat him up." Said he rolled his sleeves on his arms, gritted his teeth .

Seeing this, Ah Zhen couldn't help but patted Liu Fengyang with a smile and said, "Feng Yang doesn't have to be so angry. He didn't drink it because he was afraid of death. He knew that he would drink dying wine before he died, so he didn't dare to drink it." Li Nengwu laughed and said: "I thought you were so tough with the surname Li, but I didn't expect that it was just this kind of bastard. Do you think you are a hero when you lie on a woman's lap? You don't even dare to drink wine when you are dying. A woman." After speaking, he laughed non-stop.

Seeing his appearance, everyone couldn't help being stunned. There must be such a thing as dying wine.Yirou next to him heard what he said, and immediately knelt down on the ground, weeping uncontrollably, what to do, what to do Neng Wu brother is going to die.

Sure enough, Li Nengwu's eyes widened after Ah Zhen's ridicule, he stood up and shouted: "Fart, I am a strong man, and I am afraid of death."

Seeing that he was provoked, Ah Zhen raised the corner of his mouth in disdain and hummed: "I don't even dare to drink the wine when I am dying. Remember to ask Yama King to cast you as a girl when you are about to reincarnate, a girl wearing a skirt." A pass ridiculed.

Li Nengwu trembled all over with anger, "Fuck you, I'll be a good man again in 18 years." After speaking, he rushed to the vat of wine, tore off the seal, picked it up, and gurgled non-stop.

Soon Li Nengwu finished the tank of wine. With a loud bang, he threw the empty tank against the wall and immediately shattered into countless small pieces. Li Nengwu staggered towards them and shouted : "Tell the executioner to sharpen his knife when he chops me up,"

Ah Zhen saw that he was still able to walk up and down while staggering, and he could also talk, so he nodded in satisfaction.

Yirou next to her saw that they were going to cut her brother Nengwu, she knelt down and hugged Ah Zhen's thigh tightly, crying and begging: "My lord, Brother Nengwu won't kill people, please check again, my lord. " Said that he slammed his head on the floor of the cell.

Ah Zhen was shocked when he saw this, and quickly helped Yirou up. When his hands touched Yirou's shoulders, his waist suddenly hurt, and he opened his mouth in pain and dared not breathe out. Qianyun's vicious men were too heavy.

Seeing that her husband withdrew his hand, Qianyun stepped forward to help Yiju and said, "Girl, get up quickly, my husband just wants to buy Li Nengwu a drink, and he won't cut him down. Don't worry." After finishing speaking, she stared fiercely at A What a sight.

With this stare, Ah Zhen shrank his neck, shouted in his heart, and felt sad at night.

Yirou heard this fairy-like girl say, "Thank you sir, thank you sir." After she settled down, she kept crying and thanking her.

"Close the prison door." Seeing that Li Nengwu was still drunk, Ah Zhen ordered towards the prison.

There was a sound of locking, and the cell door was locked immediately.

"Come and chop me up, why don't you chop it up?" Seeing that the cell was locked, Li Nengwu bullied himself to the door, slapped on the cell door and yelled.

Seeing this, Ah Zhen nodded with a smile, and knew that the prison door was locked, so she hadn't completely lost her spirit. "Go" said that a group of people left the cell, leaving it to the drunken Li Nengwu and the infatuated Yirou.

When he reached the gate of the yamen, Ah Zhen said to Hong Rui: "The county magistrate stays."

"Yes yes yes." Hong Rui stopped immediately obediently, bowing his body and not daring to take a step forward.

Seeing his appearance, Ah Zhen shook his head, and said to Feng Yang and the others: "Come on, let's go to the Pengyun Inn." After saying that, a group of people left the government office.

As soon as they left, Hong Rui suddenly collapsed and collapsed on the ground. Da Sima really lived up to his reputation, even he faintly felt something was wrong, remorse, why did he rush to a conclusion in such a hurry, he might be the magistrate at the end.

The breath of spring is coming, the sky is as blue as the sea hanging upside down, after leaving the yamen, Ah Zhen walked quickly towards the Pengyun Inn, a group of people behind him didn’t bother him even though they had questions, they followed him and ran towards the inn in silence.

Before arriving at the inn, the shopkeeper saw them coming, so he hurried up to greet them and asked, "Thank you, the guest, for removing these three scourges for us in Shaozhou." After thanking him, he cupped his fists and bowed deeply to him.

"Well." Ah Zhen nodded, and asked after seeing the shopkeeper bowed: "Shopkeeper, I heard that there was a murder case in your inn three or four days ago?"

Hearing his question, the shopkeeper was suspicious and whispered: "Guest, this murderer has been taken into custody, please stay at ease." He looked afraid that they would check out and leave.

Seeing this, Ah Zhen smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, shopkeeper, we are not afraid, can you show me the room where the murder occurred?"

"This, I don't know why the guest"

Before he finished speaking, Ah Zhen continued: "Curiosity, curiosity."

"Okay then, the officials will follow me." Seeing that he was so determined, the shopkeeper sighed and led them to the murder case room.
