Chapter 33 Chapter fifteen

After Qiao Tai and Ma Rong left, Mr. Di said to Hong Liang and Tao Gan, "We can't just sit in the Yamen and wait for their good news. During this time, I thought about Liu Feibo's and Han Yongnan's suspicions and the cause of Xinghua's death. At this moment, we must get rid of them as soon as possible." First, arrest Liu Feibo." Hong Canjun said in shock: "I'm afraid this move is unwise. We have not obtained Liu Feibo's criminal evidence. It would be embarrassing if he was caught and released again." Di Gong said: "Liu Feibo was caught by the law of rebellion. He falsely accused Jiang Wenzhang and his son of being false and rebellious according to the law. How can he defend himself?"

Hong Canjun had no choice but to issue an order to sign.After stippling with a Chinese ink brush, it will be executed by fan service. Di Gong said again: "In case Yifan's court gives false testimony, he will be arrested according to the law. The order will be issued quickly, and the two criminals will be arrested. They will be quietly carried to the government office in a small sedan chair with a curtain, and no outsiders will know. The two will not be allowed to meet. , without any information, and was detained in two prison numbers. He was promoted to the hall in the evening, and I think I can ask a lot of clues."

Hong Canjun looked distressed and worried.After resigning from Di Gong, he and Tao Gan went to arrest Liu Feibo, and sent another arrest to arrest Wan Yifan. When he came out of the inner yamen, Tao Gan whispered: "Hong Canjun, the master's move is the same as going to the gambling table to decide everything. You must be decisive. Although you are not very sure, looking at the mountains while walking on the road may reveal the true colors of the mountains and rivers.— ——As the saying goes, the world is full of mountains and mountains, and people's hearts are twisted and twisted. If you take a small step and walk boldly, you will be able to see through the twists and turns, push down the overlapping, and focus on the target."

Hong Canjun got a little enlightened and felt a little better. Di Gong took out the leftover chess game by himself and spread it out on the desk to ponder over it carefully.He took out two boxes of chess from the cabinet, and arranged the black and white chess pieces against the spectrum according to the diagram. ——He firmly believed that the secret of Xinghua's death must be in this chess game.Otherwise, when she was about to die, why would she hold on to this chess record and never let go.To solve the case of Xinghua, one must first solve this game. However, this endgame was left by Han Yongnan's great-grandfather seventy years ago, and no number of chess masters could solve the mechanism.Xinghua is not good at chess, so what's the use of hiding this chess record.Could it be that this endgame has nothing to do with playing chess, but a charade, a guessing character and drawing.Perhaps this image hints something, like Yin Yang and Eight Diagrams, there are great mysteries.

He tried to move Heizi as usual, but after about ten steps, he couldn't breathe and fell into a dead end.Instead, go to Baizi first, and as you walk, you can see that there is a tendency of iron buckets to encircle, and the sunspots have no eyes.I am secretly happy in my heart, such a chess game is not very difficult. ——Suddenly felt that he was too partial to Baizi, completely ignoring Heizi's life, and had wishful thinking.So he pushed the chess game into chaos again and planned to start again. The words are divided into two ends.But Dao Hongliang and Tao Gan led eight yamen servants to Liu Feibo's house.The servants of the Liu family saw that the government came to arrest people, but the governor was in trouble, so they dodged and hid one by one.With sharp eyes, Tao Gan stopped an old housekeeper from questioning him.

"We are officials in the yamen, and Mr. Liu Feibo was ordered by the county magistrate to go to the yamen for questioning." The old steward replied tremblingly: "The yamen let the slaves go. At home, Mr. Liu is reading a book behind the rockery in the back garden. I trouble the two yamen to invite them by themselves. Otherwise, we will die as servants without a place to die." "The words almost cried out. Tao Gan let the old housekeeper go, took the yamen servants with him, walked around the hall and rushed to the back garden.As soon as I arrived at a hanging flower door, I bumped into a maid coming out.Tao Gan asked anxiously, "Mr. Liu is in the garden?"

The maid nodded, and ran away in fright. Hong Canjun rushed into the back garden and followed a flower path to the back of the rockery.When I parted the banana leaves, I saw a flowery rattan chair with a tripod on the side, but there was no shadow of Liu Feibo.Just when he felt hesitant, he saw Tao Gan leading the yamen servants and hurriedly said, "Go to the study quickly, Liu Feibo is not in the garden." Tao Gan said: "I'm afraid Liu Feibo got the secret letter early, so he escaped first." "Have you looked for the study?" Hong Canjun was furious, "He only stays in these two places on weekdays. Now that there is no one in the back garden, he must be in the study."

Tao Gan ordered the yamen servants to guard all the gates, but those who ran and escaped would be arrested.Send him to the study with Hong Canjun. As expected, the study was locked tightly, and the housekeeper didn't know where to hide.Tao Gan unhurriedly took out a key from his belt, inserted it into the keyhole, twisted it back and forth a few times, and indeed opened the iron lock.Pushing open the door and looking, the room is in a mess, with books and volumes scattered all over the place.The chests of drawers were all open, and the iron doors of the silver cabinets were ajar.When I opened it, it was empty and there was nothing there.

Tao Gan said: "Liu Fei Boguo has escaped and took all the valuables with him. The strange thing is that he took all his letters, books and books with him. Could it be that there are some shady crimes? to be destroyed." Hong Canjun said: "From this point of view, Liu Feibo really absconded in fear of crime. He also knows the seriousness of the crime of sitting on the back. We had to go back empty-handed. We will send the housekeeper and servant girl to ask again, but there is no result. I hope Yifan will not also escaped." When Hong Liang and Tao Gan returned to the government office, they knew that Yifan had been captured and taken to the street, so Fang felt relieved.The two then reported the details of Mr. Di's trip to Liu's house together.

Di Gong asked in shock: "What? Liu Feibo escaped!" Tao Gan added: "It's very strange that all the letters and letters in the book of money and silver in the study were wrapped up." Di Gong punched the table, and said angrily: "Jiang Xiucai missed me! Tao Gan, hurry up and call Liang Yide. I need to ask him a few words before the night." After Tao Gan left, Hong Canjun asked, "Master just said, 'Jiang Xiucai misunderstood me as a major event'. Tomorrow, if the mansion of Liu's mansion is large and the temple has not been demolished, are you afraid that the monk will not come back?"

"Hong Liang, you don't know something. Liu Feibo's escape may cause many twists and turns. We will know in the future." Hong Canjun saw that Di Gong's eyes were livid, and his resentment was still there, so he didn't dare to ask any more questions. Tao Gan brought Liang Yide into the study when the lamps were lit in the inner office.When Di Gong saw him, he immediately asked: "Liang Yide, I called you here today, and I only want to ask you two things. One, how did you cheat, take advantage of old Liang Zongbo's old age, and take advantage of it to embezzle gold and silver. Two, What is your relationship with Yangliuwu dancer Ji Xinghua? You wrote so many love letters to her, and in the end you planned to dump her and fell in love with Han Yongnan's daughter, Chui Liu." Liang Yide yelled: "Master Di, how can you wrong Xiaosheng for nothing! I have already replied above, Xiaosheng only behaves innocently, behaves well, and has never used tricks to embezzle his family's money. I don't even know the dancing girl Xinghua, where is it?" What love letter?" Di Gong did not listen to his defense, and continued: "The night Xinghua Nanmen Lake was killed, you were not on the boat, so you are not suspected of the murderer. But you two have secret meetings many times; as long as you The county has no intention of criticizing Xinghua's detailed whereabouts today, let alone adding any crime." Liang Yide stared straight at the card, kowtowed repeatedly and said: "Master Di is clear, Xiaosheng has argued eloquently, but he doesn't know that Xinghua. He has never stolen a penny from his uncle, and the accounts are well written. The master does not distinguish between black and white, and behaves indiscriminately. How can Xiaosheng falsely admit that he blamed Xiaosheng?" Di Gong let out a long "hmm": "Could it be that what the county says is all nonsense?" "Only one thing, the master is talking about it. Xiaosheng's love for Miss Weeping Liu is just wishful thinking. I only met her a few times in the county school library, and never communicated with her. ——The master has seen through Xiaosheng is worried, and he must also know Xiaosheng's character, temperament, temperament, and the first two things are nothing, so I hope Master Di will listen to him carefully." Di Gong Nianxu pondered for a while, then went to the drawer and took out a letter, and handed it to Liang Yide. "Is this letter in your handwriting?" Liang Yide took the letter and read it over and over again, it was for Miss Xinghua. "Master Qi, the handwriting of this letter really looks like Xiaosheng's, and it deliberately imitates Xiaosheng's style. But it is definitely not Xiaosheng's handwriting. It must be someone who deliberately made it himself to trap Xiaosheng. Master Fu Wangdi is very careful." Di Gong said sharply: "Go down now and take a rest. If Yifan has been arrested by the yamen for a short time, the trial will start. You must watch and listen in the hall, and collect evidence at any time without any mistakes." Liang Yide exited the study resentfully, turned to the second office and went to stand among the crowd outside the verandah of the front hall. ——The evening yamen is about to kick off, and many people with good deeds have gathered, waiting for the hearing to confirm the rumors of exchanging corpses in the coffin. In the evening, the Yamen is promoted to the hall, and the front hall is brightly lit.Di Gong saw that Han Yongnan and Liang Yide were standing respectfully in the front row to hear the trial, and Su Yicheng was standing behind them. Di Gong issued a red stick, just in case Yifan was brought to court.After reporting his name, year, and address, Wan Yifan knelt down in the hall as if nothing had happened, watching from left to right. "In case Yifan, are you convicted?" Duke Di patted the gavel. "Little people don't know the crime." Wan Yifan raised his head and looked at Di Gong without fear. "Bold! You dared to give false testimony in court to deceive the government. This county has found evidence that you yourself had the audacity to marry your daughter to Jiang Xiucai. After being rejected, you accused Jiang Wenzhang of being shameless. ——Is this county's judgment true?" Wan Yifan replied respectfully: "If it was about this incident, Xiaomin would have pleaded guilty. At that time, he only wanted to fight with Mr. Liu to win this lawsuit, so he fabricated false evidence to deceive the master. It is really a ghost. Ignore the king's law. The little people are willing to be punished. If they are fined for money to get bail, I think Mr. Liu will make it easier for the villain. He is not the kind of small-eyed and thin-skinned master who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge." Di Gong smiled faintly: "Also, you listened carefully. The county also found out that you used all kinds of means to trick Liang Laozong into fearing that he would sell his land and family property, profit from it, and swallowed a lot of gold and silver money. Is this true? " Wan Yifan looked up and saw Mr. Di's Yanshuang face, knowing that he was embarrassed, he didn't panic, and replied calmly: "I'm afraid the master is just catching wind and shadows on this matter. Xiaomin is the mediator for Mr. Liu, and prepares a contract account according to Mr. Liu's intention. Both the buyer and the seller are voluntary, and I am only discounting the benefits of the commission according to the rules. With great eyes and insight, he won big profits. This matter can be passed to Mr. Liu Feibo to testify in court." Di Gong said coldly: "The county might as well tell you that Liu Feibo has escaped by chance. Not only the gold and silver cash, but also the important account books and documents are all wrapped up. Where else can I come to testify for you." In case Yifan heard this sentence, he suddenly became paralyzed.Paled face.He hissed, "What? Mr. Liu escaped by himself? Where did he escape?" Di Gongdao: "The county does not know where he is hiding at the moment. No one in Liu's house knows his whereabouts. Therefore, the county said that your defense has not been cross-examined, and the charges may not be shirked." Wan Yifan lowered his head like a bereaved dog, and said in a low voice: "Since that's the case, I don't count what Xiaomin said before. I beg Master Di to let Xiaomin rest for a while. Ask questions again." Di Gong smiled and nodded in agreement.He slapped the gavel and announced his withdrawal. After returning to the Neiya, Mr. Di was relieved and smiled.Leisurely made a cup of Tieguanyin tea, sat down and sipped it.Tao Gan and Hong Liang also brewed a cup each, and the three of them discussed the case for half a day. Hong Liang said: "In case Yifan heard that Liu Feibo had absconded, he panicked. He still had confidence in his head and spoke arrogantly." Di Gongdao: "In case Yifan has something important to say to me, it is not convenient for him to say it clearly in court. It is his cunning and carefulness. I will pass him here for a closer examination. You two Listen to it, and you will know the overall situation." The three of them ate another cup of tea, and when they were proud of their words, the jailer ran to the inner office in a panic and told him, "Master, it's not good! Just in case Yifan committed suicide." Di Gong searched fiercely and scolded: "You idiot, have you never searched his body?" The cell boss muttered: "During the search of the humble position, I didn't find any jujube cakes." "Jujube cake? Someone went into the prison and gave him jujube cake to eat?" "How can a humble official allow outsiders to send food into the prison? However, in case Yifan died after eating that jujube cake, his seven holes were bleeding. ——The humble official was also confused for a while, knowing that he was negligent in his duties, and only asked the master to punish him. " Di Gong, Hong Liang, and Tao Gan rushed to the prison behind the Yamen, and saw Wan Yifan lying stiffly on a door panel under the dim lights.His face and lips were bruised, and there were blood clots in all seven orifices. The jail rate handed over a jujube cake with lotus leaves on the bottom to Duke Di.When Di Gong saw that only one corner of the jujube cake had been bitten off, he softened himself.The shape is the same as the ones sold in the market stalls, except that instead of the shop number in red lettering, there is a black dragon with teeth and claws printed on the jujube cake. Di Gong looked at the black dragon figure repeatedly, why didn't he understand?Immediately, the anger rose in his heart, and the clouds of sorrow surged up. His expression was very different, and he turned around and went back to the inner office. Hong Canjun and Tao Gan followed closely. ——Back to the wind and float suddenly, the path is broken again, and the emotions of Shijian are swept away. Di Gong understood that the graphics on the jujube cake were not for Wan Yifan, but for Hanyuan county magistrate.Because when the jujube cake was secretly sent to the cell, the cell was already dark. ——This is clearly a clear warning from the Black Dragon Society.Moreover, there are also members of the Black Dragon Society in the yamen.
