Chapter 4 Chapter 3 Murder

The spring flowers are facing the wind, and the sky is cloudy. The melancholy drizzle not only did not stop, but instead fell densely, weaving into a continuous, unreasonable and chaotic rain curtain, like sorrow and sighs. When Princess Yunmeng sat down, she suddenly slapped the table heavily, and said angrily, "What is the origin of Qiu Changfeng, who dares to ruin this princess' good deed?" Yang Shiqi sat down, was so shocked that he almost stood up again, frowned and said: "Your Highness, don't be impatient, Dudu Xu has sent someone to investigate, and I think he will get the answer soon."

Princess Yunmeng suddenly stood up, walked back and forth in the hall, kept looking around and said: "Xu Qin is also procrastinating in doing things, why hasn't there been any news for so long?" Yang Shiqi could only smile wryly, thinking that the princess was so impatient, it was a bit overwhelming. At this moment, Princess Yunmeng is not in Qingshou Temple, but in Yang Shiqi's mansion. No one expected that it was the humble Qiu Changfeng who finally got Yao Guangxiao's appreciation.Qiu Changfeng knew that the painting was painted by Yao Guangxiao based on his knowledge of Fire Crane Flower, so Yao Guangxiao kept it.

Princess Yunmeng was expected to win this trip, but she returned home without a feather, she was inevitably very depressed.After leaving Qingshou Temple, Xu Qin was asked to investigate Qiu Changfeng's details, and at the same time, he brought Ye Yuhe to Yang Shiqi to discuss countermeasures. Finally stopped, Princess Yunmeng looked at Ye Yuhe, and said expectantly: "Sister Ye, you are a headhunter, you can guess best, what do you want that monk and Taoist priest to do with that dead Qiu Changfeng? " She loves the house and the crow, so naturally she hates the house and wants to burn the crow.Although Qiu Changfeng didn't offend her, she had long regarded Qiu Changfeng as an enemy.Ye Yuhe didn't win, but she didn't blame her at all, she just felt that Yao Guangxiao's question was too tricky, and Qiu Changfeng's luck was too good.

Ye Yuhe sat quietly in the corner, her eyes were deep in thought, she didn't know what she was thinking, when Princess Wen Yunmeng asked, she frowned and said: "The master set up two tests to study people's ability to recognize organs and calligraphy and paintings. I am afraid that what the teacher wants people to do is related to these two points." Princess Yunmeng's eyes lit up, and she said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, but what exactly are you going to do? Could it be tomb robbery?" She speculated from normal thinking, and felt that this matter was very possible.It is an institution, and it is necessary to know calligraphy and painting. These things are very mysterious. Could it be that Yao Guangxiao asked Qiu Changfeng to steal paintings from ancient tombs?The more Princess Yunmeng thinks about it, the more she thinks it is possible, but she can't figure out what Yao Guangxiao wants right now, why she wants someone to rob the tomb, and what kind of painting is so magical that it is worthy of Yao Guangxiao's inspiration?

Yang Shiqi frowned secretly, although he thought Princess Yunmeng was whimsical and unrealistic, but he couldn't imagine what Yao Guangxiao would ask people to do. Ye Yuhe was a little astonished, and finally shook her head, but said: "I'm not sure. But this matter is probably very dangerous, which can be inferred from the master's tone." With the original expression, I felt a chill all over my body. For some reason, Ye Yuhe always felt that the things that Yao Guangxiao asked people to do were sinister, mysterious, and even had a weird and bizarre flavor.Of course, this is just her intuition and there is no evidence, so she didn't mention it to Princess Yunmeng.

The more Princess Yunmeng thought about it, the more itchy her heart became, and she hated Qiu Changfeng for taking away her right to explore the secrets, so she slapped the table again and said: "But no matter what, if you help the master accomplish something, he will definitely appreciate it. If we ask him again, he can't refuse. We ask the master to help the eldest brother, tell the father about the good of the elder brother, and he will help. Yang Xueshi, do you think so?" Yang Shiqi murmured: "It's probably like this. But now it's Qiu Changfeng who is doing things..."

Princess Yunmeng ignored Yang Shiqi's reminder, her eyes flickered, and she said proudly: "He is the one who does the work, but can't we do it in advance?" Yang Shiqi was even more surprised. He didn't know what he didn't understand, so how could he make things happen? At this moment, the sound of footsteps came, and Wei Tieyi came to the front of the hall.Yang Shiqi didn't care about the princess, went up to meet her and said, "Wei Qianhu, what's the matter?" Wei Tieyi looked iron-like, and immediately said: "Dudu Xu has found out the details of Qiu Changfeng, and I asked you to report to Yang Xueshi. Qiu Changfeng was originally an orphan adopted by Qiu Geng, the former servant of the Ministry of Rites, so he followed Qiu's surname. "

Princess Yunmeng temporarily let go of her calculations and couldn't help but listen attentively. Yang Shiqi pondered and said: "Qiu Geng passed away ten years ago, and his family has fallen into decline. Now there is no one in the capital." As a cabinet scholar, he is naturally quite familiar with court affairs. He knew that Qiu Geng was an upright official, but he didn't know that Qiu Changfeng was Qiu Geng's adopted son. Wei Tieyi showed a look of admiration and said: "Scholar Yang remembers well. Although Qiu Geng died, he asked the court to do something for Qiu Changfeng before he died. Qiu Geng is a loyal and upright person. Changfeng was transferred to Jinyiwei ten years ago and became a captain."

Yang Shiqi frowned and said: "This matter is actually unreasonable. Qiu Geng also has children, why didn't he ask for an official position for his children, but instead asked for an official position for Qiu Changfeng? Could it be that...Qiu Geng is closer to the orphans he picked up than to his own children? ?" He knew that although Xu Qin tried his best to investigate, most of them still couldn't find out these details.Sure enough, Wei Tieyi shook his head and said, "Well, Master Xu doesn't know either." Yang Shiqi turned his mind, and asked: "Has Qiu Changfeng been promoted step by step in the past ten years, and he has reached one of the thousand households?"

Wei Tieyi shook his head, and said with a strange expression: "He was a captain three years ago." Yang Shiqi raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "You mean that he has been promoted from the captain to the position of Qianhu in the past three years?" Wei Tieyi just nodded cautiously, and his face was full of surprise. Of course he knew what Yang Shiqi was surprised about. Jin Yiwei is the largest commander, and the official position is the third rank. Under it, there are Tongzhi, Zhenfu, Qianhu and other positions.Qianhu is a fifth-rank official, and his position is not low. More importantly, Jinyiwei is the emperor's most trusted pro-army. If he goes out to investigate cases in Beijing, it is mostly at the emperor's will. The commanders, the officials and the chief envoys of the provinces from the second rank did not dare to easily offend Jin Yiwei.

Under Qianhu, there are deputy Qianhu, Baihu, Shibaihu, Zongqi, Xiaoqi, etc. Xiaoqi is an official of the seventh rank.Under the small banner, there are generals, wrestlers, captains and other positions. That is to say, a school lieutenant in Jinyiwei is no more than a ninth-rank sesame official with a very low status.But it is a miracle that Qiu Changfeng was able to jump from a school captain to an official to a fifth-rank Qianhu within three years. After a long while, Yang Shiqi said: "What kind of contribution did this person make to be promoted so quickly?" Although he was very familiar with the imperial court's promotion, appointment and dismissal, he didn't know anything about Jinyiwei.Because only the emperor and the commander can intervene about everything inside Jinyiwei. Sure enough, Wei Tieyi also shook his head and said, "Captain Xu doesn't know either, but he will check." Yang Shiqi murmured: "In the pocket, the sharp edge will emerge. This person can endure for seven years, and he is not a simple person." He didn't care about Qiu Changfeng at first, but after the Qingshou Temple incident After investigating Qiu Changfeng's details, he realized that this ordinary Jinyiwei Qianhu was also very mysterious. Ye Yuhe was silent at first, and said after hearing the words: "Ji Gang has Qiu Changfeng's minion, which can be said to be like a tiger with wings." She didn't seem to have a good impression of Jin Yiwei, so that's why she said that, but she obviously also felt that Qiu Changfeng was far more powerful than his performance. is even more unfathomable. Princess Yunmeng didn't hear what Ye Yuhe meant, but as if she had heard the news, she nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, Qiu Changfeng is a tiger's minion, and I will deal with him one day." Yang Shiqi was silent for a long while, and after Wei Tieyi stepped back, he suddenly said: "Princess, it's not all bad things that Qiu Changfeng came out." Princess Yunmeng's eyes were perplexed, and she said in surprise: "I hate seeing that dead face, how could something good happen?" Ye Yuhe's cold face suddenly showed a strange look, and he asked aside: "Did Xueshi Yang say that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers?" Yang Shiqi was slightly surprised, and gave Ye Yuhe an appreciative glance.He also only knew that Ye Yuhe was the chief headhunter in the Eleventh Prefecture of Zhejiang Province, and he was very close to Princess Yunmeng. He didn't want this girl to be beautiful and intelligent. Princess Yunmeng thought for a moment before hesitating, "Your Excellency Yang is saying that although Ji Gang uses Qiu Changfeng, he cannot tolerate him?" Yang Shiqi nodded and said, "That's right. Ji Gang is narrow-minded, and he must repay him. Although he can use people, he has no tolerance for them. Qiu Changfeng has shown his sharpness now, and I'm afraid it will soon arouse Ji Gang's suspicion. It's not a bad thing." With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he said meaningfully: "So...the princess doesn't have to dislike Qiu Changfeng too much. He is just following orders." Ye Yuhe said aside: "Bachelor Yang means... if the princess can take advantage of Qiu Changfeng, she can even contain Ji Gang?" She was originally indifferent, but when she mentioned the matter of Jin Yiwei, she was very interested. Yang Shiqi felt a little strange in his heart, but he only thought that Ye Yuhe and Princess Yunmeng were friends because of Yunmeng's sake, so he nodded and said, "Not bad." Princess Yunmeng finally understood, and flattened her lips: "Scholar Yang, you want me to show my love to that dead face?" Yang Shiqi remained silent. Seeing this, Princess Yunmeng sneered and said: "Hmph, let me show my love to him, in my next life. Not only will I not show my favor to him, but I will also make him regret why he robbed me of what I wanted today. Just wait and see .” Her smile suddenly became proud, as if thinking of something happy. At this time, a bolt of lightning pierced through the clouds and illuminated half of the sky. There is a shocking thunder, which is soul-stirring. Yang Shiqi frowned secretly, he didn't know why Princess Yunmeng was so proud, but he was even more disturbed, vaguely felt that the twilight was dark, the thunder and lightning were shocking, and Yao Guangxiao's behavior today was even more shocking.Only Ye Yuhe was sitting there with a motionless expression, looking at the lightning in the sky, there seemed to be light shining in his eyes. The dark clouds dissipated and the sky was blue.The morning breeze is rippling, like a soft song. There are small boats going down the water, accompanied by the gurgling water, like the music of nature. Swinging the water with the oars, when the boat reached the bridge, a man jumped ashore and asked, "Boater, is Fenshui County ahead?" There were two other people following the man ashore, one with a shrewd look and a short mustache like a needle, One has big eyes, a little simple and honest. The boatman replied: "The guest officer is right. The water is divided in front of it. When the Zixi River reaches the water divide, it is considered to be out of Hangzhou." The previous man nodded and dropped a piece of silver, the boatman thanked and left.The man looked at the county seat ahead and said, "We need three horses..." The man with the short mustache rolled his eyes and asked, "Brother Qiu, we have already left Hangzhou Mansion, where are we going, can you tell me now?" Brother Qiu smiled and said: "Brother Meng, why worry, you will know when we arrive? We abandoned the ship and went south and needed horses to travel. The commander kept saying that Brother Meng was a capable person. The matter of buying horses required trouble. Brother Meng, me and Think twice about waiting here, and please go back early, Brother Meng!" Brother Meng was furious and cursed secretly, "Qiu Changfeng, do you really think of me as your follower?" The three people who got off the boat were Jin Yiwei Qiu Changfeng, Meng Xian and Yao Sansi. It turned out that after Yao Guangxiao stayed at Qingshou Temple for five hours, Qiu Changfeng immediately went out of the pagoda to ask Ji Gang for his order to go south.Qiu Changfeng went south, of course he acted on Yao Guangxiao's order. What is this matter, Qiu Changfeng did not say. Although Ji Gang wanted to know the truth, but seeing Qiu Changfeng like this, he didn't ask.As the commander of Jin Yiwei, of course he knows what to know and when it is best to pretend to be confused. Ji Gang asked Qiu Changfeng to let go to do things, and asked Qiu Changfeng to choose people to follow.Unexpectedly, Qiu Changfeng only chose Yao Sansi, Ji Gang was puzzled, and assigned Meng Xian to follow, but Qiu Changfeng did not refuse. The three of Qiu Changfeng left Shuntian Mansion, crossed the Yellow River, Yangtze River, and Taihu Lake, and now entered Zhejiang Province, and even passed Hangzhou, but Meng Xian didn't know where they were going. Meng Xian changed his normal routine and deliberately flattered Qiu Changfeng.But whether he is flattering or targeting, Qiu Changfeng always has that neither salty nor bland expression.Meng Xian inquired many times, only hoping to know where Qiu Changfeng was going to do and what he was going to do, but he still couldn't figure it out. Along the way, Meng Xian ran here and there like a servant, and he was already full of unhappiness. Meng Xiancai was about to get angry, when he suddenly remembered what Ji Gang said before leaving, "Meng Xian, I know you are capable, but you have to show it. This time you went south, you put your heart into it." Ji Gang trusts Qiu Changfeng on the surface, but he knows that Meng Xian and Qiu Changfeng have always been at odds, so he sent Meng Xian to follow Qiu Changfeng in order to let Meng Xian restrain Qiu Changfeng.Of course Meng Xian understood this intention. Thinking of this, Meng Xian finally put on a smiling face and said, "Okay, Brother Qiu, wait a minute, I'll go back!" Seeing Qiu Changfeng's calm face, he secretly hated, Qiu Changfeng, Qiu Changfeng, It doesn't matter if I let you be proud for a while, if I catch you, I will make you never stand up again. Watching Meng Xian run to Fenshui County, Qiu Changfeng sat down on a piece of grass, stretched his legs comfortably, and took out the iris leaves from his bosom as usual, tore them into shreds, and weaved them again. He is usually calm and speaks little, and his expression is rarely happy or sad. Only when weaving marlin leaves, his expression shows rare concentration. Yao Sansi looked at Qiu Changfeng curiously, wondering why Qiu Changfeng had this habit.After a long while, he tentatively came over and sat down, and said, "Qiaoqianhu, what are you making up?" Qiu Chang didn't raise his head, but under his nimble fingers, the leaves of Ma Lin had already taken shape. Yao Sansi could only tell that what Qiu Changfeng made up this time was definitely not a grasshopper.Suddenly, Qiu Changfeng asked back, "What do you want to say?" Yao Sansi was a little surprised. He really didn't come to ask Qiu Changfeng what to make up, but Qiu Changfeng didn't raise the limelight, so how did he know that what he asked was insincere? "I think..." Yao Sansi scratched his head, and Nuonuo said, "I want to ask...you...why did you take me south?" Qiu Changfeng raised his head, glanced at Yao Sansi's face, and asked calmly: "You don't want to go south? Then it's too late to go back now." Yao Sansi hurriedly said: "How could it be? I don't know how much I want to leave Shuntian Mansion." He grinned and said: "When Qianhu said to take me to the south, I laughed so hard that I couldn't sleep at night." Qiu Changfeng was rather curious, "Why?" Yao Sansi hesitated, then scratched his head and said: "Because... Shuntian Mansion is too boring." Some unnaturally said: "Qiaoqianhu, this trip to the south can be regarded as a bad job, and my subordinates will only be with you for a few months, really I don't understand why you took me with you?" Qiu Changfeng frowned and said, "Excellent? Do you think it is excellent? Why don't you think about it... This time going south, you may experience countless thrills, and even life-threatening?" Yao Sansi laughed instead, and cheered up: "Adventure? That's even better. Swing family, you don't know that I am a Jinyi guard, I just want to take risks. I like to take risks since I was a child...but..." Distressed: "My sister No, until now, I haven’t even picked out a bird’s nest.” Qiu Changfeng looked at Yao Sansi for a while, and finally said: "Then I promise, if you want to take risks, you can definitely get what you want this time!" I thought it would scare Yao Sansi, but Yao Sansi's face was full of longing, and he nodded repeatedly: "That's good, that's good!" The corner of Qiu Changfeng's mouth was full of embarrassment, he lowered his head, and continued to weave the marlin leaves in his hands. Yao Sansi finally remembered something and asked, "Qiaoqianhu, where are we going?" Ma Linye turned into an insect with thin wings, but it was difficult to gallop and fly away. I thought Qiu Changfeng would not answer, but Qiu Changfeng looked at the insect and said, "Our destination is Qingtian County, the capital of the state." Yao Sansi scratched his head and said, "Qingtian County? What are you doing there?" At this time, the sound of horseshoes sounded, Meng Xian was already riding a horse, and two more horses were tied behind the horse, galloping forward.Seeing Yao Sansi scratching his head, he asked, "Sansi, what's wrong?" Yao Sansi smiled and said: "Meng Qianhu, Qiuqianhu said we are going to Qingtian, what am I going to do there?" He told the truth, Meng Xian was dissatisfied when he heard it.I don't know why Qiu Changfeng would rather tell Yao Sansi where he went, but keep it secret to him? After thinking about it, Meng Xian sneered again, thinking to himself, how could Qiu Changfeng tell this fool his purpose?Qiu Changfeng said this on purpose, mostly to confuse me. Do you really think I will be fooled? Qiu Changfeng ignored Meng Xian's complicated thoughts, got up early, picked up the worm weaved, got on his horse and continued southward.Yao Sansi hurriedly followed, only Meng Xian looked at Qiu Changfeng's back and sneered, he was not in a hurry to follow, but looked around, suddenly drew his knife and made a few cuts on a tree bark by the side of the road, and then rode away. An hour after the three of them left there, suddenly several fast horses galloped over, hovering for a moment beside the tree where Cai Mengxian left the mark, and then went south again, heading exactly where Qiu Changfeng and the others were going. . In a day's time, Qiu Changfeng and his three galloped for four hundred miles, passed Jinhua, and arrived in the territory of Chuzhou. In the afternoon, the three arrived near Xiaolian Mountain in Chuzhou Prefecture.Looking into the distance, Qiu Changfeng murmured: "After Xiaolian Mountain, you will be Qingtian County." When Meng Xian heard this, he sneered secretly, and decided that Qingtian County was definitely not the destination of Qiu Changfeng's maze.Deliberately said: "Brother Qiu, could it be that... your destination is actually Qingtian?" Qiu Changfeng nodded and said, "Yeah, didn't you hear twice about it yesterday?" Meng Xian almost twisted his nose when he heard it. Although Qiu Changfeng had never been here before, he didn't hesitate. He just looked for the south and went all the way around the mountain and across the stream. It seemed that his purpose was clear. Near dusk, the three of them passed through the mountains, and they could see smoke rising from the cooking houses in front of them, and it seemed that they had reached Qingtian County. Meng Xian even guessed that Qiu Changfeng might be looking for secrets in the mountains. Not wanting to guess wrong again, he couldn't help but gritted his teeth secretly, and hurried forward to ask, "Brother Qiu, I don't know what the master asked you to do now that you are about to arrive in Qingtian County. ?” Qiu Changfeng's eyes flickered, and before he could speak, his face suddenly changed slightly.He jumped up and left the saddle to the grass by the side of the road.This move of his was really preposterous and nimble, which startled Meng Xian. Meng Xian knew that Qiu Changfeng was quite intelligent, but right now, Qiu Changfeng's martial arts didn't seem to be bad.Qiu Changfeng suddenly arrived in the grass, could it be related to the task of the master? When Meng Xian thought of this, his heart skipped a beat, and he got off his horse in a hurry.Walking to the grass and taking a look, my heart is slightly trembling. In the muddy water among the grass lay a young man with dark skin and closed eyes, not sure whether he was dead or alive. Qiu Changfeng stretched out his hand to probe the man's breath, and frowned.The man was still breathing, but just passed out.Yao Sansi also followed and asked, "Qiaoqianhu, what's wrong with this man?" Qiu Changfeng said: "This person was knocked unconscious, he should be a villager nearby." While speaking, he stretched out his hand to touch the person's arms, and murmured: "Seeing that this person is quite honest, he will be with you." Who will take revenge?" Meng Xian also saw that the back of the man's head was bruised and swollen, with hidden bloodstains, which seemed to be injured by a blunt object, but he couldn't see anything else, so he couldn't help but sneered: "I don't think Brother Qiu will still be able to read physiognomy, Just by looking at this person's face, one can see that he is a loyal person. Brother Qiu is this person's confidant. He has never met this person before, so he can know that this person has a grudge against others, and then deduce that it is a vendetta? " Qiu Changfeng said lightly: "This man is not as old as a weak crown, but his hands and feet are callused, leaving traces of farming all year round. Isn't it honest for a person of this age to work so hard? He still has some broken silver in his arms. Being searched by someone means that the person who knocked him out was not a robbery, but a grievance. Brother Meng can't see these simple things?" Meng Xian was dumbfounded, speechless with embarrassment. Yao Sansi admired him so much, "Swing House makes sense." Meng Xian held back his breath, sighed and said: "Brother Qiu really has bright eyes. But Brother Qiu has a heavy responsibility as a guru. Whether this person lives or dies should be handed over to the local government. Why should Brother Qiu waste time for this kind of person? ?” Qiu Changfeng suddenly raised his head and glanced at Meng Xian.Seeing his eyes like lightning, Meng Xian's heart skipped a beat.Qiu Changfeng lowered his head in an instant, but he felt a little strange in his heart, thinking that the murderer stunned the man with just one stick, and he was quick to strike, which is definitely not an ordinary people's fight.But why didn't the murderer kill this man, but just stunned him? While pondering, Qiu Changfeng was among the people who pinched the man. Within a moment, the man woke up leisurely. When he saw Qiu Changfeng and others, his face showed panic, he turned over and sat up, and said in amazement: "What are you doing?" ?” He put his hands on the ground, kept backing away, suddenly stood up, and ran wildly, with an appearance of extreme fear. Unexpectedly, the man only ran two steps, but suddenly stopped, with horror in his eyes.At some point, Qiu Changfeng stood in front of him and said in a deep voice, "What are you doing?" The man waved his hands and murmured: "I... I didn't do anything." He turned his head and ran again, but this time Qiu Changfeng didn't stop him anymore, but the man didn't run very far, and he backed up again. There was a lot of noise ahead, and a dozen or so arresters surrounded him.The first arrester, with a burly figure and a dark blue face, had already drawn his sword in his hand, and said to the man, "Liu Neng, you deceived your sister-in-law and killed your father. You have committed a heinous crime. Hurry up and arrest him. If not, you will be shot!" The man was terrified, and hissed: "I have never done it, don't wrong me." He wanted to escape again, but the dozen or so arresters had already surrounded him from all directions. Meng Xian did not forget to sneer when he heard the words: "Brother Qiu is really good at predicting things. This man deceives his wife and kills his father. He is really honest." While speaking, the police had already tightened their surroundings.As soon as the arrester shook his chain, he put it on Liu Neng's head. Liu Neng looked furious, and took a step back, about to hit him hard. He didn't want to slash at the back of his neck with a flash of the knife. The person who drew the sword was the policeman with a dark blue face. He was sure of his sword, and he had already imagined the scene of blood splattering and the head falling to the ground. Changed the line with a single knife, and slashed heavily to the ground. The dark blue-faced policeman was caught off guard and used the wrong force. He only heard a click sound, and his wrist was dislocated. The policeman was startled, he jumped up suddenly, and saw a pale man standing beside Liu Neng.The catcher held his wrist and saw a red mark on the vein gate. He didn't know what was hurting him. He was surprised and angry and said, "Who are you, and you are with the murderer? Come on, take it down together, if you dare Resist and kill together." That catcher was arresting the head for Qingtian, and he always talked with his own words, and his subordinates did not disagree.Unexpectedly, when the words fell to the ground this time, the arresters quickly took a step back, with panic on their faces, and looked at Qiu Changfeng in horror. Qiu Changfeng is still Qiu Changfeng, but suddenly there is a wooden token in his hand. The token was ordinary, but the words "Jin Yi Wei Yin" on it were really shocking. When the head catcher caught a glimpse, his expression changed drastically, and he said in a low voice, "You are Jin Yiwei?" He really couldn't believe how Jin Yiwei came to the small Qingtian. Looking at the head catcher, Qiu Changfeng said calmly, "You don't believe me?" He came out in low clothes this time, but without the flying fish suit, he turned his wrist, and the Xiuchun knife with the scabbard was in his hand. The scabbard was cold, and under the setting sun, there was a bit of killing intent. When everyone saw Xiu Chundao, they immediately knelt down and were speechless.Although the head catcher was fierce, he could see the embroidered spring knife, remembering that Jin Yiwei had the right to kill first and then strike, his face changed a few times, and he finally fell to his knees and said: "Qingtian head catcher Jia Yidao sees your lord." Qiu Changfeng took the token and asked slowly, "What is Liu Neng's crime?" Seeing this, Liu Neng hurriedly knelt down in front of Qiu Changfeng, and said with tears streaming down his face, "My lord, the villain is innocent." Jia Yidao shouted: "You are not guilty, why did you run away? My lord, this man is extremely treacherous, don't let him deceive you." Qiu Changfeng looked at Jia Yidao and said, "It's a man or a ghost. I can tell the difference. Even if Liu Neng is a murderer, he has the right to defend himself according to the Ming Dynasty's laws. As a Qingtian arrester, you can't wait for the case to be finalized. To put him to death is to know the law and break the law..." Seeing Qiu Changfeng's cold gaze, Jia Yidao's expression changed drastically, and he said in a low voice, "My lord, Liu Neng is cruel. The villain is afraid that he will escape again, so he strikes harder. The villain is dedicated to the public, so please be careful." Qiu Changfeng looked at Jia Yidao for a long while, and then said: "The local magistrate should be the one who decides the case clearly. Lock Liu Neng first, and bring him back to the county government." Turning to Liu Neng, he said, "If you are innocent, you should trust the magistrate. Give you justice. Don't resist, or you will only be punished." Liu Neng's lips were firm, and seeing the yamen guards staring at him all around, he finally stretched out his hand and let the yamen guards lock him. Jia Yidao's eyes flickered, and upon seeing this, he said: "My lord, I know I was wrong. I'll take Liu Neng back to the county government, and take a step ahead." Qiu Changfeng suddenly said: "Wait a minute. I'm looking for the county magistrate to do something, let's go together." Jia Yidao was slightly startled, not daring to refuse, he immediately led the way and escorted Liu Neng towards the direction of the county government. Seeing Qiu Changfeng meddling in his own business, Meng Xian felt a little impatient.But after thinking about it, I felt that Qiu Changfeng wanted to see the county magistrate, probably because of the master's order.When I think of this, I feel refreshed.Seeing Jia Yidao hanging his head, he couldn't help asking: "Butou Jia, what crime did Liu Neng commit?" Seeing that Meng Xian was with Qiu Changfeng, Jia Yidao didn't dare to be negligent, and explained: "Liu Neng committed the crime of murdering his father by his sister-in-law. Liu Neng's eldest brother died a few years ago, leaving behind his sister-in-law Wang Cuilian, Wang Cuilian Has been widowed for a long time. This morning, a villager suddenly found Liu Neng’s father, Liu Laocheng, strangled to death in the room, and hurriedly reported to the police. The magistrate asked Wang Cuilian and Liu Neng for questioning, but Liu Neng disappeared. Wang Cuilian cried and told Liu Neng the day before Molested at her, was seen by Liu Laocheng and reprimanded a few words. Family ugliness should not be publicized, Wang Cuilian did not report to the official, Liu Laocheng also suppressed the matter. Liu Laocheng is honest, Su has no grudges with others. Strangled to death, most likely because Liu Neng held a grudge, and was afraid that his father would tell a scandal, so he killed his father. The county magistrate asked me to wait to arrest the murderer, because he didn't want to meet a few adults." Meng Xian understood what he heard, glanced at Liu Neng and said, "It's hard to know the heart when you know the face. Who would know that such a seemingly loyal person is not as good as a beast?" Jia Yidao didn't know that Meng Xian was trying to wake up Qiu Changfeng, so he hurriedly said: "Yes, my lord has a good opinion." While talking, although the county government is still missing, the magistrate can be seen. It turned out that Jia Yidao knew that Qiu Changfeng was going to see the magistrate, so he sent someone to fly to deliver the message.When the county magistrate heard that Jin Yiwei had arrived, he was terrified, how dare he not come out of the county government office to greet him? Nazhi County greeted Li Xu, saw Jia Yidao and others, hurriedly walked a few steps.Suddenly he heard the sound of thunder in the blue sky, his heart trembled, and he stood there dumbfounded. Before Yao Sansi could figure out what was going on, Qiu Changfeng suddenly turned his head, only to see smoke and dust rushing up in the distance behind him, the smoke had only just risen, and the sound of hooves had arrived, and a black line could be seen spreading in this direction. Qiu Changfeng's sharp eyes saw that the black line was actually dozens of horses rushing towards him, and the thunder was actually the sound of horseshoes. The galloping horse was only dozens of riders, but it came running suddenly, with great momentum, as if a thousand troops and horses were rushing towards them. Where has Nazhi County seen such momentum before, his legs were trembling with fright, and he couldn't take a step, and he couldn't figure out where this group of people suddenly appeared? That team of people came very fast, like a storm, rushing grass and dust, and came behind Qiu Changfeng and others in an instant.When Jia Yidao and the others saw this, they hurriedly dodged, fearing that if they were too late, they would be trampled to death.
