Chapter 27 Chapter One

Breaking the prison is an inch of heart, and it takes a long time to guess in detail.Life and death depend on me, so be careful! The first four lines of poem are the poems of Di Renjie, a famous minister in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, who stayed in the official prison, asked about the punishment, and admonished himself.Di Gong is an upright official, selfless, law enforcement like a mountain, and prison break like a god.The prefectures and counties where the Fandi Office works are clean and the government is clean, the place is peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.Therefore, the subordinate officials respect and respect, and the scholars and people admire them. Most of the county people have steles and praises.When Mr. Di went to work, all the difficult cases in the locality that had not been resolved for many years were all clear to him after his analysis.

It is said that during the reign of Emperor Gaozong Yifeng, Di Gong was transferred to be the governor of Beizhou, Hebei Province.The number of households in Beizhou is less than 3,000, and the population is less than 20,000, because it is located in the northern desert, and the people's customs are fierce and brave.There are also soldiers stationed in the border court who fled in fear of hardship, and lived in thieves and robbers. In addition, the former governor did not know the situation in governance, and his leniency and strictness were out of balance, so murder, adultery, theft and fierce fighting happened frequently.

After Di Gong took office, he made great efforts to rule the country and get rid of the disadvantages.As soon as March, the place is Jing'an, the prison is completely suspended, and there are no unjust complaints, so the prison is always empty, and the jailers are fine. One day, Di Gonggong sat in the yamen and chatted with Hong Canjun around the stove. He suddenly recalled that Liao Wenfu, the director of a certain chamber of commerce, had come to the yamen to report that his daughter Liao Lianfang had accidentally disappeared, causing people to search everywhere.The Yali heard that the newspapers were pictures, and they were hung up everywhere. They also sent arrest officials to search everywhere, but there was no trace for three days.Duke Dee was disturbed by it. Although this was not a criminal case, the disappearance of a young woman often had something bad in it.

Di Gong sighed and asked Hong Canjun: "Hong Liang, have you ever found out the whereabouts of Liao Lianfang's disappearance?" Hong Liang was originally Di Gong's old retainer. When Di Gong was a child in Maojiao, Hong Liang took care of him wholeheartedly.Di Gong was in Sanbang High School and was released as an official, so he took him along on his official career.Now his official title is the secretary of the state government and the military.This Hong Liang is honest, honest, loyal, and has won the trust of Di Gong. He is Di Gong's left and right arm.When Mr. Di encountered difficult matters both inside and outside, he always consulted with an open mind.Therefore, compared to Duke Di's three followers, Tao Gan, Qiao Tai, and Ma Ronglai, he was closer.

When Hong Canjun saw that Mr. Di asked about Liao Lianfang again, he stretched out his hand on the brazier and rubbed it slowly, and replied: "The yamen have already written pictures of Miss Liao's age and appearance and hung them everywhere, and ordered the city gate , The guards at Shuiguan pay attention to interrogation. Inspector, the arrest is currently still secretly searching for bustling places such as shops, restaurants and teahouses, but there is no news yet. Master, will this Liao Lianfang go away with her lover? For example , her father didn't agree with her marrying her beloved, so she secretly stole gold and silver, and made an appointment with her lover—"

Mr. Di stroked his long black and neat beard, frowned and said: "From the signs, Miss Liao seems to have eloped with her lover. It is said that she and her adoptive mother were watching Jianghu in the store. The entertainer disappeared suddenly during a monkey show. At that time, the crowd was crowded, and everyone stretched their necks to watch the monkey show. The adoptive mother disappeared in the blink of an eye. Miss Liao. In broad daylight, under the watchful eyes of everyone, who would dare to kidnap her by force?—— I think she was either tricked or slipped away of her own accord."

Hong Canjun said: "Master, don't forget that Ms. Liao has already made a promise." Suddenly, a bronze gong sounded in the main hall of the former Yamen, and the three-way drum was finished. Eight Yamen soldiers filed out in response to the sound, singing and drinking, and standing still in two rows, each holding a paint stick. Di Gong put on the deep scarlet official robe of Hairi Xiangyun Wulong, jade belt soap boots and black gauze hat neatly.He was about to lift the curtain and step into the court when he heard an inspector rushing to report: "Master, it's not good! Nancheng killed a woman this morning, and the uproar has stirred up the entire state capital."

Duke Di was startled.Hong Canjun who followed hurriedly said, "Could it be Miss Liao Lianfang who killed her?" Di Gong didn't answer, he turned around and asked the inspector, "Have Qiao Tai and Ma Rong returned to the Yamen now?" "My lord, just now the patrol came to report that there was a drunken brawl in a restaurant for a long time, and the two elder brothers rushed to resolve it after returning from hunting. They will return in a short time." Di Gong nodded, looked at Hong Canjun with a worried expression, lifted the embroidered velvet curtain, stepped into the courtroom, and ascended to the high seat.
