Chapter 63

"If you dare to rob the court officials and ask for money, according to the laws of Dawu, all of you will be sent to death row. But before that, I still want to ask, who sent you here."

The man dressed as a Confucian scholar walked up to the tall man in black and said.

Around, the rest of the men in black fell to the ground and struggled there.

"Tell the person behind the scenes, and your crimes will be lessened, and maybe you don't have to die."

The tall man in black resisted the burning pain in his chest and abdomen. He was hit by a man dressed as a Confucian scholar just now, and he ended up like this. Seeing that the man approached him for questioning, he had to move his hands back Climbing, I am very afraid of men dressed as Confucian scholars.

Suddenly, a tree was pushed up behind him, and he had nowhere to go, and the man dressed as a Confucian scholar stood in front of him.

"Go ahead."

"Say...what to say, no one ordered us!"

The man dressed as a Confucian scholar sighed.

"That's right, you haven't told the truth until now, I came here with you just now, but you can hear clearly, what is Vice-Hall Master Ma, isn't this the person who instructed you behind the scenes?"

Hearing the name Vice Hall Master Ma, the man in black obviously panicked, and the man dressed as a Confucian scholar completely noticed it.

"We don't know Vice-Hall Master Ma, you misheard me!"

The man dressed as a Confucian scholar smiled coldly.

"If you don't say it, you're quite stubborn. I have my own way to make you say it."

After half an hour.

The tall man in black changed his strict tone before, and told the whole thing. It can be seen that his face has turned into panic.

"Water Gang... Deputy Hall Master Ma... 20 taels..."

The Confucian scholar dressed up as a man thoughtfully, then came back to his senses, and pushed the tall man in black to get up.

"Let's go, the capital crime can be avoided, and the life crime cannot be escaped. After killing my entourage, I can only let you and me go back to the Yamen."

He doesn't care about the rest of the men in black. This is the leader of this operation. All he gets from him is evidence, and he alone is enough.

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the man in black to react, he grabbed his shoulders, lifted him up from the ground, grabbed the man's knife, and urged him to leave the place.

After they left this place, the remaining men in black all vomited blood and died, leaving no one alive.

……

Near noon.

There is no cloud in the sky, and the sun is hot in the sky.

Yan Lixing, who was dealing with some things in the study, received a news that surprised him.

The new magistrate who was robbed yesterday actually escaped by himself and arrived in Hengshui County.

When He Dawei reported the matter to him, he was not sure yet.

Because in a day, he thought a lot, thought that the forces or people who might attack the Yamen, and calculated to rule out the possibility, made him think of some doubtful things.

That's about the people from the Water Gang who came to the Yamen treasury to rob this batch of money.

At that time, those men in black were all arrested and interrogated, and they all revealed that they were from the Water Gang.

However, because of the calligraphy and painting and a series of incidents caused by Qian Guangchang's appearance, he was so busy that he forgot.

Thinking about it now, it seems that the suspicion of the water gang is relatively large.

Now that the new magistrate who was robbed came back by himself, it is said that he also brought a man in black with him, Yan Lixing couldn't wait to see what happened.

He rushed there with He Dawei, walked to the lobby of the yamen, saw the new magistrate who had been robbed, and saw what he looked like.

Dressed as a Confucian scholar, there is a bookish look all over his body, his face is handsome, and he is not very old, only 24 or [-] at most.

Yan Lixing saw the other party, and the other party obviously saw him, and came up to greet him.

"This must be Mr. Yan Lixing, the person in charge of the Hengshui County Six-Fanmen stronghold. I'm next, Liu Shijie. Nice to meet you!"

"Lord Liu, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

In the news that came earlier, it was mentioned that the new magistrate was called Liu Shijie.Later, I saw the appointment document and official seal on this person, and it was not false, so I confirmed that it was him.

Yan Lixing invited him in, and saw him commanding a few policemen around him to bring the man in black into the prison.

"Is this person one of the robbers who robbed Mr. Liu yesterday?"

Liu Shijie nodded.

"That's right. This person is the leader of the gang of robbers. The rest of them have already been killed. Let him live because he still has some value. We can use him to find the instigator behind the scenes."

Yan Lixing's eyes flashed.

"Then Master Liu has any clues about who is going to rob you and ask for the 20 taels of silver."

"This person has already said that it's the Water Gang. But I'm new here, and I don't know what the Water Gang is and what the scale of its influence is. Master Yan knows?"

Yan Lixing thought to himself: It's really a water gang!
However, Liu Shijie, who seems to be a scholar and has no power to restrain a chicken, can escape from a group of people sent by the water gang, and capture the leader of this operation, and personally escort him here, these things are very impressive Suspect.

With a light cough, Yan Lixing said calmly.

"I know, but it's hard to talk standing here. The weather is very hot, so we'd better go inside and talk in detail."

"Alright, please."

"Please."

Yan Lixing and Liu Shijie went into the inner room in the backyard of the yamen, and the man in black naturally ordered the people below to take him into the prison.

When they arrived in the back room, they sat down and served tea, and the two began to talk in detail.

Yan Lixing didn't ask Liu Shijie how he escaped unscathed without first opening his mouth. He first told him about the Water Gang and the location near Hengshui County. .

"I would also like to thank Master Yan for clarifying the confusion, and it will save me from doing more research in the future."

"Where."

Yan Lixing took a sip from his teacup, then changed the subject and said.

"It's something that troubles me. I hope Mr. Liu can answer it."

"Master Yan, please tell me."

Liu Shijie raised his hand to signal.

"Master Liu is a scholar, how did he escape from these vicious gangsters, and even captured the leader of the other party, I hope to explain to Yan some doubts."

When Yan Lixing said this, his eyes carefully watched every move on Liu Shijie's face, but after the other party heard this, he didn't show any expression of nervousness or panic, but just a little stunned.

"It turns out that Lord Yan is asking about this matter, no wonder."

Seeing Liu Shijie stand up, with a sad look on his face, he told the matter slowly.

It turned out that before Liu Shijie became an official, he was a disciple of the Qingcheng School in Shu County.Later, the Qingcheng faction offended some important person and was wiped out. He escaped by luck because he went back to his hometown to visit his relatives.Later, please say that the sect was destroyed, and he was also very sad, so he had to go home.Because he himself doesn't like the scenes of fighting and killing in the Jianghu, but is slightly interested in the Four Books and Five Classics, Wen Tao Jing, and it took a few years to successfully obtain fame, and finally came to Hengshui County to serve as the county magistrate.

That's how things are in general.
