Lin Linyou flew forward and started fighting with the guards again. Their swords were both notched, and sparks exploded from every collision, lighting up the dark summer night...
In the dark night, two knives fell from the air and were firmly inserted into the mud. After Lin Linyou and the guard took each other's weapons away, they began to fight with fists and feet.
The heavy dull blows from the fists and legs sounded more frightening than the sword strikes.
Qiu Bu was really afraid of being splashed with blood, so he stepped back and watched with interest: "This kid, although his martial arts has not improved, his skin is still so thick!"
But in fact, Qiu Bu was still a little nervous. He was afraid that Lin Linyou would be defeated. If he died, who would ask for gold?
So his hand is always pressed against the knife...
…
When Zhou Jili saw that the prisoner in front of him turned out to be the Zhejiang Procuratorate, he was shocked, his legs couldn't help but tremble, and then he bent his knees and knelt down.
Because there were obvious unjust, false and wrongful convictions in the Yuhang County Government Prison, the prison chief turned a blind eye and was basically wearing the same pants as the Yuhang County Magistrate, and almost all the prisoners were extremely dissatisfied with Zhou Jili.
But the so-called "obedience to orders" is not bad. The prison boss only acted on the orders of the magistrate and the county, and was not guilty of the crime.
Therefore, Zhou Xin did not punish the prison leader Zhou Jili, but just spoke kindly to him, hoping that he would be frank and lenient and explain more problems to the magistrate.
"Your Excellency Lian Shi is just asking, I will definitely tell you everything I know!" Zhou Jili said hurriedly.
Zhou Xin needs people like him who can talk very much. The more he talks, the more evidence he will get.
When the county magistrate of Yuhang learned that the incorruptible envoy was visiting, he hurriedly changed into his official uniform and rode to the county government office. He usually rode in a sedan, but here was the incorruptible envoy. How could a small seventh-rank magistrate dare to sit in a sedan in such a grand manner? ? It should be noted that face-saving skills must be done well.
When he saw the inspector, the county magistrate, like the prison chief Zhou Jili, had his legs trembling. He knelt down involuntarily even if he didn't have to. The main reason was not because he was afraid of Zhou Xin's selflessness, but because he was not only blind, but also ignorant of the integrity of the envoy. That's it, not only whipped him, but also put him in jail!
Now even if nothing happens, something will happen.
Not only is it difficult to save the hair, but also whether this little life can be saved is at stake!
The county magistrate knelt down and kowtowed in fear and confessed his crime. Zhou Xin was not polite to him and ordered his subordinates to take away his official seal, take off his official uniform and give him a cane first.
The Zaoli subordinate to the Yuhang magistrate raised his killing stick and beat his old boss up without any mercy at all. He was probably not less angry with him usually, but now he took advantage of this great opportunity to repay his grievances. Qiu took the opportunity to take revenge.
After the beating, Zhou Xin escorted the half-dead magistrate back to the Yamen of Chasi and temporarily imprisoned him, and then slowly tried him for various crimes of corruption, accepting bribes and disregarding human life. When the time came, he would submit the magistrate's confession to the court together with his own impeachment seal. Please ask the emperor to dismiss him from his post!

A bonfire was lit in the field, and Lin Linyou, Qiu Bu and Xue'e sat on the ground around the bonfire.
Lin Linyou kept adding mugwort and pine branches to the bonfire to drive away mosquitoes.
The carriage cannot be used and the horses have run away. They are nowhere to be found. It seems that they will have to spend the night in the wilderness tonight.
"Brother Lin, I'm very curious!" Qiu Bu set up a few "chickens" to roast on the fire, "What are those smoking things you just threw away?"
Lin Linyou was also very curious. This was different from what was described in martial arts novels! Isn't it true that a charlatan can catch a chicken or two casually? Whenever we spend the night in the wild, the chickens must be roasted on the fire!
The chicken that Qiu Bu was roasting was good, but it was a pity that it was a frog...
"You want to know?" Lin Lin said, "I won't tell you."
"If I hadn't taken action just now, you would have been dead." Qiu Bu said, "Are you talking to me like this now?"
"Who said that? I can kill him myself!"
"Brother Lin, I only knew you were thick-skinned, but I didn't expect you also had a tough mouth."
"There's nothing soft about me."
"Not necessarily." Qiu Bu shook his head and said, "I think you are soft except for your mouth, especially..."
"Actually, Brother Qiu, I'm also very curious," Lin Linyou said, "Can you explain why you appeared on our carriage?"
"I'll follow you as soon as you leave the capital." Qiu Bu didn't beat around the bush, "How did you become a royal guard? You didn't even notice that you were being followed? Have you lost all those skills when you were a scout?"
"I can only say that Brother Qiu, you are very capable. No matter how powerful I am, can I be more powerful than you?"
"I thought you were out looking for gold," Qiu Bu said, "I didn't expect you were out looking for women, which cost me all the trouble!"
Sure enough, this guy came here for gold again.
"No, Brother Qiu, the five thousand taels I gave you last time were all spent so quickly?"
"Does it have anything to do with you whether the flowers have been spent?" Qiu Bu asked, "Anyway, if you don't give me the remaining gold today, you can't even think about leaving."
Seeing that Qiu had to look like he was joking, Lin Linyou was a little panicked: "Brother Qiu, to be honest, I really can't remember where I hid it..."
"Can you eat so much by yourself?" Qiu Bu said coldly, "I trust you so much in vain! Back then, I entrusted you with all the gold and went deep into the desert alone. You were not caught by the Tatars of the Yuan Dynasty. Did you know that the wolves were eating them alive?!”
"Don't get excited, Brother Qiu!" Lin Linyou comforted him kindly, taking out the stack of treasure notes from his arms, "By the way, I still have these one thousand taels of treasure notes with me, Brother Qiu, take it first!"
Qiu Bu took it, took a look at it, and threw it into the fire.
"Wochao..." Lin Linyou felt a little distressed. No matter how worthless it was, it could still buy two bowls of porridge!
"Who are you trying to fool with a pile of waste paper?" Qiu Bu also threw a few skewers of roasted frogs into the fire, "I want gold, gold!"
"Really...I can't remember. Where did you ask me to find it for you?" Lin Linyou said helplessly, rescuing the frog that was about to be roasted from the fire. "Brother Qiu, you don't believe me so much." ? After all, we have carried guns together, guarded the border together, and we are so... good brothers together!"
Qiu Bu stared at Lin Linyou closely: "I really can't remember?"
"Here, let's eat a frog!" Lin Linyou handed a bunch of frogs to Qiu Bu, "I really can't remember."
Qiu Bu didn't pick up the frog. He stretched out his horse-killing knife and placed it on Xue'e's shoulder opposite the fire: "This woman seems to be very important to you..."
Xue'e was frightened and wanted to shrink back, but Qiu Bu applied a little force, and the knife on her shoulder suppressed her and she couldn't move.
Lin Linyou sat between Qiu Bu and Xue'e, watching the flames lick the horse-killing sword. After a while, the blade was licked red...
It's late at night.
Zhou Xin wrote the memorial in the title book overnight and copied it neatly in Hongwu Zhengyun Gonggong. After the ink dried, he was ready to seal it and submit it to the Secretary of General Affairs for submission to the palace tomorrow.
His wife was also mending clothes under the lamp to accompany him.
"Madam, it's getting late, go to bed!" Zhou Xin finally put down his pen, stood up and thumped his waist. This memorial not only impeached the magistrate of Yuhang County, but also impeached Zhao Juren, the general secretary of the Western Zhejiang Province, for concealing the floods in Western Zhejiang. Don't report anything.
This Zhao Juren was a disciple of Xia Yuanji, an important official in the imperial court. He was cold-faced and iron-faced. Zhou Xin was indeed very iron-clad, and was not afraid of offending anyone at all.
Li Chun from Qianhu brought a dozen or so Jinyi guards to Zhejiang Province this time. The prison car was ready and they were waiting to send Zhou Xinkan to the capital!
With discipline and the emperor's will in mind, Li Chun can be said to be high-spirited!
