chivalrous cat and righteous mouse

The little Yangwu County was very frightened, and heard that the lord was tired of traveling, but he committed himself to live in the post house, so he didn't dare to delay for a moment, followed Bao Xing and entered the post house, the lord had seen Yao The county magistrate ordered him to come out to search for the guards and go back to talk about the case together, but it made Zhang Long face a difficult situation—where should he find such a big county?

Seeing his distressed face, the adults knew what he was thinking, so he hinted him to go to a restaurant!And it has to be the biggest restaurant in the county!

After hearing this, Zhang Long was a little puzzled, how did Mr. Bao know?However, he still found out the largest and most famous restaurant in Yangwu County - Fengyilou according to what the adults said.

He was about to go inside in doubt, when he saw Zhan Zhao coming out of it, and he couldn't help admiring Mr. Bao again.Mr. Bao is so predictable, he really didn't seek refuge with the wrong person!

Yang Wu Bully

When Zhang Long saw Zhan Zhao, he raised his arm and gave a slight bow, calling out "Master Zhan". Zhan Zhao raised his hand to help him, and after asking about his purpose, he followed Zhang Long back to the post house, but he still couldn't let go of the beggar and the ruined temple. So he ordered Zhang Long to send a few people to secretly monitor the people in the ruined temple, and at the same time look for the injured little beggar in the county. If they found them, they would give him some food and medicine, but they had to act secretly Never reveal your identity.

Zhang Long secretly wrote down Zhan Zhao's instructions, and promised to get things done.After the two arrived at the post house, Zhan Zhao went into the guest room to report to the adults, and Zhang Long also turned around to arrange the things that Zhan Zhao had just ordered.

In the room, Mr. Bao sat in front of the desk with a dark face, beside him Mr. Gongsun stood with his hands behind his back, and Bao Xing was waiting on the other side.When Zhan Zhao entered the room and saluted Bao Zheng, he called out "My lord", Bao Zheng raised his eyes to look at Zhan Zhao, nodded, and his face softened slightly.

Zhan Zhao caught a glimpse of someone lying on the ground in front of the case, isn't it the idiot Yaozhi County of Yangwu County?

He became very playful, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, then cupped his hands, and called out to the people on the ground, "Yao magistrate county!" Unexpectedly, the people on the ground were startled when they heard this sound, and hurriedly leaned over to Zhan Zhao turned around, buried his head low, and called out "Lord Zhan!" in a muffled voice.

Zhan Zhao ignored him, and just moved closer to Mr. Bao's desk, thinking to himself, although Mr. Bao's face is a bit dark, but compared to that idiot, he really likes to be closer to Mr. Bao, and he doesn't want to be contaminated by him. This idiot.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Bao Zheng looked at Yao Ping, the magistrate who was still lying on the ground, and said, "Get up and answer!" As soon as Yao Ping heard this, he immediately stood up from the ground, kneeling on his knees. His body was numb, he just stood up straight but almost fell down again, Yao Ping hurriedly stood up again, with a smile on his face.Bao Zheng saw him like this, so he ordered, "Show a seat for Yaozhi County."

Unexpectedly, Yao Ping immediately turned anxious when he heard this, and waved his hands again and again, "My lord can't do it! How dare I make a mistake in front of my lord, not to mention Mr. Gongsun and Mr. Zhan are not seated, and my lord dare not." As he spoke, he wanted to kneel down again.

Mr. Bao raised his hand to stop his movement, "Forget it, you can just stand up and answer." Yao Ping repeatedly said yes, and then stood in front of the case with his hands down, waiting for the adult to question.

Bao Zheng looked at Gongsun beside him, Gongsun nodded knowingly, and asked, "Master Yao, I heard that you have a big case in Yangwu County a few days ago, is there such a thing?"

Yao Ping nodded quickly, "Mr. Hui, this is indeed the case. For three consecutive months in this county, dead people have been found in their houses one after another. At first, they thought it was criminals doing evil, but the officials sent people to search the whole city, but found nothing. Harvest, seeing the increasing number of dead people, the officials are also very anxious, but fortunately, the criminal came to confess his guilt, and the case can be considered as a result."

Master Bao couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and asked him, "How many people died? Why did they die? Who was the criminal? Why did they kill them?"

He asked four questions in a row, which made Yao Ping into trouble, "My lord, there are seven people who died, all of whom were residents of the county, and the cause of death was that they were beaten to death. , It was an act of landing, as for the motive of killing..."

Yao Ping paused, raised his eyes to peek at the person in front of the case, and unfortunately saw a black face comparable to ink.When Bao Zheng saw that he was hesitating before he finished speaking, he suddenly became suspicious, slapped the table and said, "Speak!"

Yao Ping was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat, he quickly raised his arm and wiped it off with his sleeve, his eyes rolled around, not knowing where to look, "Return...Return to your lord, I really don't know... I really don't know." Yao Ping hurriedly knelt down, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"Oh? Since the prisoner has surrendered, why don't you know his motive for killing?" Bao Zheng squinted his eyes and looked closely at the people on the ground.

"Just because... just because... oh! Just because the criminal just turned himself in yesterday, and the officials haven't had time to interrogate him in the future, so we just put him in prison and wait for arraignment." Yao Ping tremblingly pressed his face to the ground, wishing he could put his head on the ground. buried in the ground.

Bao Zheng nodded, and said in his heart, he had to be lucky enough to come here, otherwise he might close the case hastily without even being promoted.He stared at the people on the ground for a while before he said, "Well, in this case, the government is really impatient. You can get up now. I wonder when Yaozhi County is going to be promoted?"

Yao Ping got up, and obviously let out a sigh of relief. He felt that the clothes on his back were wet.

Hearing Mr. Bao's question, he immediately replied, "Tomorrow... oh no! Immediately! The prisoner Yin Hua will be interrogated as soon as the officer returns, and he will be raised for questioning!" Wiping the corner of his forehead with his cuff, he thought to himself that he had long heard that Master Qingtian of Kaifeng Mansion was upright, but now that he saw it, he realized that the rumors were true.He had better coax him now, and then send this lord away quickly, otherwise he will never have a peaceful day!After thinking about it, he gave a salute to the three people in front of him, and said, "If your lord has nothing else to do, I will take my leave first, so that I can go back and prepare to ask questions."

"Wait a minute, magistrate Yao." Yao Ping was about to turn around, but he heard Zhan Zhao suddenly stop him, and couldn't help feeling a little headache, "Oh, I just want to ask the county magistrate about someone." Zhan Zhao thought of what he heard in the restaurant just now, this Yao Ping is a local parent official. Although he is a fool, everyone in his jurisdiction should know it well, right?

"Who is Mr. Zhan wanting to inquire about? The officer must know everything!" Seeing that Zhan Zhao had spoken halfway but then suddenly stopped, he was worried, maybe he had found something!So he urged him to ask quickly.

"Zhan Zhao heard that there is a bully in Yangwu County who often beats up a little beggar in the temple. Is there such a thing?" Zhan Zhao asked and observed Yao Ping's expression carefully. Seeing him seemed surprised, Then his gaze became uncertain, and he knew in his heart that he should know about it.So I didn't rush, I wanted to see how he would answer.

"This... Xiaguan... Xiaguan has never heard of it. I don't know where Master Zhan heard the news?" Yao Ping knew about the bullies and little beggars that Zhan Zhao said.

The bully was named Tian Biao, originally from Shandong, he suddenly came to Yangwu County three years ago for some reason, and then relied on his kung fu to bully the weak in the county, Yao Ping had also stepped forward to stop it a few times , but later received a letter from Lord Chaozhong, saying that Tian Biao is Lord Wen’s nephew, and now in Yangwu County, Lord Yao should take care of him. Punishment is.

Yao Ping knew in his heart that although Master Wen's letter was decent, there was something in it, and he naturally understood the meaning: in the future, if his nephew gets into trouble, he will turn a blind eye and close his eyes for his sake. Just one eye.Yao Ping was timid and fearful by nature, so he didn't dare to offend Mr. Wen.So he let Tian Biao go.

Tian Biao has intensified since he had someone to back him up. He has the most arrogant appearance, and has caused a lot of troubles.At first, the people frequently sued him to the government, hoping that the county government could make decisions for the people, but then everyone found that even if he was brought into the government, the official would accompany him with good food and drink, and within a few hours he would be gone again. He was released without charge. Over time, everyone was completely disappointed in the county government, and they simply stopped counting on the government. In line with the principle that more things are worse than less things, anyone who is accidentally targeted by Tian Biao can only consider themselves unlucky.

From then on, the people in the city ran away when they saw Tian Biao from afar, and did not give him a chance at all.But even so, Tian Biao still didn't restrain himself, he simply ran to the ruined temple in the south of the city to bully those beggars who were helpless.The youngest of those beggars was only five years old, and his home was originally a merchant in Yangwu County, but one day and one night, the fire engulfed everyone, except for this little milk baby, who had red lips and white teeth. He looked smart, and the beggars passing by saw that he looked very pleasing, even if he came from a poor background, he couldn't let the baby suffer from cold and starvation in the street, so they took him to the ruined temple.

No one knows the baby's name, everyone is used to calling him Xiaoqi, and the beggar who took him in is called Wuzi.The fifth son brought Xiaoqi back to the ruined temple, taught him to beg, and taught him some principles, and treated him very well, but a few years ago, he suddenly got a strange disease and died. Anyone close to him will be killed, and no one dares to get close to him since then.

Yao Ping didn't talk about it, he felt that the matter of Tian Biao and Xiao Qi had nothing to do with the case, so why did Master Zhan ask about them all of a sudden?

Zhan Zhao stared at the top of Yao Ping's head with rapt eyes, remained silent, and didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you!"

Yao Ping laughed, seeing that this time he was completely absent
