The first arrest of martial arts

Chapter 39 Makeover
Yamen, backyard.

There was no one around, only Li Kun and Yao Xi.

At this time, they held a white pigeon in their hands, took out the note in the bamboo tube under their feet, and let the white pigeon fly out.

Opening the rolled up note, the two looked at each other after reading it, and paused.

"In this batch of robbed boxes, there are things that adults want."

Li Kun spoke first.

"Tell the two of us to get it no matter what, and send it to the adult."

Yao Xi put the note away and spoke.

"Now the batch of robbed boxes are all locked in the Yamen treasury. And the key is in the hands of that boy Yan Lixing."

"If you ask him, you will have it. How dare he not give it?"

Li Kun said with a playful look on the corner of his mouth.

"Usually the two of us are enough to give him face. If it wasn't for the recommendation of the lord, how could he have come to this point now. If it wasn't for the order of the lord to monitor him, how could he be allowed to sit on top of us."

Hearing this, Yao Xi's eyes flickered slightly.

"I still need an excuse. Just say find out what's inside, so he won't refuse to give it."

"By the way, my lord asked us to monitor him to see if there are other secrets in him. Unfortunately, these days have passed and we haven't found anything. We can only see that he is practicing martial arts when he is free, and there is nothing else to see."

Li Kun frowned, rubbed his chin with his hand, and said slowly.

"My lord only asked us to monitor and report all his actions truthfully, but he didn't say what purpose he had, which is very strange."

Yao Xi shook his head and said.

"It's better not to speculate on the adults' thoughts, just do what we are supposed to do. The most urgent thing is to take out the things that the adults urgently need first."

"Yes, let's go find that kid."

The two talked for a while, then left the backyard and walked towards the house where Yan Lixing was.

But after they left, Yan Lixing's figure came out from behind the gate of the backyard strangely.

The truth is, what Li Kun and Yao Xi said just now was clearly heard by him.No one knew that he had been quietly hiding there to eavesdrop.

Li Kun and Yao Xi didn't notice at all, they had completely exposed the secret just now.

"It turns out that these two were really sent by Pei Jinzhi to monitor me. It's just, what does Pei Jinzhi want from me, the Black Lotus Token? Or something else, if that's the case, why don't you do it yourself..."

Pei Jinzhi's behavior was very strange. On the surface, he treated him well, but he was playing secret tricks, which was very puzzling.

Let's not think about it for the time being, this time Li Kun and Yao Xi received the news from Pei Jinzhi that in order to obtain the property from the Baituo Gang and the Qinghe Gang, one of the things in it must be obtained.

Although I don't know what it is, since Pei Jinzhi is so eager, it must be a good thing.

He has seen the belongings inside, which are basically gold, silver and jewelry, as well as some light and small objects such as antique calligraphy and paintings.

Not gold, silver and jewelry, so what Pei Jinzhi wants is in these antique calligraphy and paintings.

At this moment, Li Kun and Yao Xi have already gone to him for the key to the treasury.

After entering the house, Yan Lixing was not found.

"Where did this kid go?"

Li Kun looked at it and frowned.

"I don't know, I think I went out."

Yao Xi looked around, there was no one in the room, and finally his eyes fell on the desk.

There, on top of a stack of books, was a copper key.

"There's no need to look for that kid, the key is there."

Yao Xi said something, pointed to the copper key on the table, blinked his eyes, and said.

Li Kun also noticed it, approached it, and picked up the copper key.

"Since you have found the key, let's go directly, go to the treasury, take out that thing, and send it to the adults as soon as possible."

"Well, that kid is just a pawn being used, don't care, let's go!"

Li Kun and Yao Xi took the key, left the house and went to the treasury.

the other side.

A yard on the right side of the yamen is where Ding Caichang usually lives in Dingzhi County.

This person is not from Hengshui County, nor from Nanjun County. He was born as a second-class Jinshi in the imperial examination, but he came from a poor family, so he can only be mixed with a small seventh-rank county magistrate.

in the study.

Ding Caichang looked at a confession on the case table and put it down quite satisfied.

What was written on it were the confessions and signatures of those gangsters arrested by the White Camel Gang and the Qinghe Gang.

"With this signed confession, these guys can be sentenced to death in accordance with the law, which can be regarded as an annoying matter."

If there are too many prisoners in the prison, the people above will come down to make inspections, and it will not be good for his performance evaluation.

Putting down the confession, picked up a bowl of tea by the table, took two sips from it, then put it down, slumped back, intending to take a nap.

There was no one else in the study, but the door was open.

Ding Caichang didn't notice that a figure stepped into the study and was walking towards him.

His eyes were shining with a sharp and cold light, and he looked at Ding Caichang as if he was looking at a dead person.

Walking forward slowly, Ding Caichang suddenly opened his eyes and saw this person, but he didn't care.

"Master, what are you doing in the study, do you have anything to do with me?"

This figure showed an ordinary face, and at this moment, he cupped his hands towards Ding Caichang.

"I have something important to discuss with Dingzhi County."

Ding Caichang closed his eyes again for a nap, and said softly.

"Let's talk about something."

"Then I'll say it."

A playful sneer flashed across the master's face, and murderous intent suddenly appeared.

"That is...you are going to die."

Ding Caichang suddenly opened his eyes, widened them, looked at the cold face in front of him, opened his mouth to say something, but couldn't make any sound anymore.

Because his throat was being tightly strangled by one hand, his face was flushed with blood, and it was extremely difficult to breathe.

With a click, Ding Caichang turned his head to one side, and the expression on his face froze instantly. It was obvious that his neck had been twisted and he was dead.

This man killed Ding Caichang, took off his clothes and put them on himself, then took out a small porcelain bottle, poured some powder from it and sprinkled it on Ding Caichang's body. The naked eye saw that Ding Caichang's body decomposed rapidly, and finally only the ground remained A little bit of water next.

Seeing this person turn around, he fiddled with his face with both hands, and after turning around, he changed into Ding Caichang's appearance.

Most importantly, he even pretended to be the same size as Ding Caichang, as if he was the second Ding Caichang!

At this moment, at the gate of the courtyard outside, Yan Lixing just came in.

He came this time because he wanted to discuss something with Ding Caichang.

Take the opportunity to deal with Li Kun and Yao Xi.
