Li Yu arrived at the agreed place early. He had nothing to do, so he recalled and demonstrated the Arhat Fist taught to him by his master. A sound of "hum hum hum" came from the distance. Li Yu stopped and looked around, and saw Liu Dachun riding a mule slowly walking towards him.
"Er Chun, hurry up!" Seeing Liu Dachun driving the mule hard, he seemed to hope that it could run faster, but the mule still went its own way, walking forward slowly and leisurely. When Liu Dachun walked in front of Li Yu, Li Yu looked at Liu Dachun and the mule with some disdain and said, "Is your mule like this? I feel that it took more than two hours for this guy to get to Xinyang City!" Opposite the other side! Because of Li Yu's disdain, the mule blew a big mouthful of snot at Li Yu. Fortunately, Li Yu was quick and didn't blow it on him.
Liu Dachun quickly jumped off the mule, touched the mane on the mule's head, and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Alas, Erchun is old now, and he used to run very fast. I remember when I was a child, Jinye and I often ride Erchun out to have fun, the two of us."
Li Yu interrupted Liu Dachun's memories: "Stop it! I'm not interested in knowing your old stories, let's leave quickly!" Li Yu had no patience at all, and starting from the time he met Liu Dachun in the Qian Mansion, he started to treat him The impression was not very good. I originally planned to intimidate him and ask him not to disturb Jin Ye, so as not to disrupt his plan, but I didn't expect that he actually prepared a topographic map of Qian Mansion, which would save me the trouble. After groping in secret, he agreed to go see Jiang Zhixian. Liu Dachun looked slightly embarrassed and said, "Okay, let's go."
Li Yu asked: "Do you know how to get to Xinyang County Government Office?"
"I know. I passed by the county government several times when I went to Xinyang City before." Liu Dachun replied.
After hearing this, Li Yu flew up and jumped onto the tree, and a burst of echo came: "Then I will walk in front, let's meet at the Xinyang County Government Office!" Liu Dachun could naturally feel Li Yu's attitude towards him. A little arrogant, but for Jin Ye, he could bear it. Finally, he stroked the mule's back a few times, held the rope tightly, and said excitedly: "Er Chun! In order to save Ye Zi, we can't fall behind! Let's go. !" Then I saw the mule roaring and galloping towards Xinyang City! Li Yu, who was using Qinggong to shuttle between the trees, suddenly heard the sound of rapid horse hooves. Looking back, he saw Liu Dachun galloping on a mule. Li Yu couldn't help but clicked his tongue. Gradually, Liu Dachun passed him on the mule. This aroused Li Yu's competitive spirit and increased the speed on his legs. Despite the distance of more than thirty miles, the two arrived in less than an hour. They arrived at the gate of the county government office almost at the same time. Li Yu panted and said, "You mule! You run pretty fast!"
Liu Dachun said: "I told you, Er Chun is very powerful when he runs. Let's go in quickly, I have to go back soon." Liu Dachun took out a few cucumbers from the pocket next to the mule and fed them to Er Chun. Spring seems to be a reward for Erchun. Erchun gnawed the cucumber handed to him by Liu Dachun with relish.
Li Yu quickly walked into the gate of the county government. At this time, his master Ti Wangyou suddenly appeared. Li Yu was naturally a little happy to see his master and said: "Master, are you coming to greet me?"
Ti Wang's face was gloomy, and he pulled Li Yu and said, "Come here, I have something to tell you."
Li Yu was dragged to a place with few people and showed the opened letter to Li Yu. Li Yu took the letter and read the contents:
Brother Ouyang, no, I should call you Brother Li. Chen Sanniu is in my hands. If I want to keep her alive, in three days, I will bring your martial arts secrets and come alone to the village where we got along well at that time. Remember, you are here alone. Otherwise, I can't guarantee Chen Sanniu's life. Your brother, Haiwei. Yours sincerely.
Li Yu looked straight at the letter, with uncontrollable murderous intent in his eyes, and said, "Who sent this?"
Ti Wang said: "It doesn't matter who sent it. What matters is, what are you going to do about it?"
Li Yu said: "What else can we do? Of course we can use the secret book to save people."
Ti Wang said: "I would like to remind you, my teacher. The family martial arts is a treasure passed down from generation to generation in every family, and your Yinlong Villa is no exception. You really have to trade this for a little girl you meet by chance." "
Li Yu said eagerly: "If the secret book is gone, it will be gone. Anyway, my father also practiced it! But if the person is gone, it will be gone!"
Ti Wang smiled happily and said, "Okay! Don't worry, my master will go with you when the time comes and I will protect you in secret."
Liu Dachun poked his head and tentatively shouted to Li Yu who was not far away: "Young Master Li!"
Li Yu immediately came to his senses and said, "By the way, I forgot about him. Master, is Magistrate Jiang in the study?"
Tiwang nodded and said, "Yes."
"Well, I have something to tell him." Then he took Liu Dachun to Magistrate Jiang's study. Jiang Zhixian and Zhu Yue were looking at some notes at this time, while Jiang Hong stood aside and waited. Li Yu knocked on the door and said, "Mr. Jiang, are you there?" The two recognized Li Yu's voice. Jiang Hong opened the door, and Li Yu took Liu Dachun into the room and said, "Mr. Jiang , this person said he wants to see you!"
Liu Dachun knelt down and bowed to County Magistrate Jiang, and said, "Your Excellency, County Magistrate, Liu Dachun, a grassroots citizen, pays homage to you."
Jiang Zhixian said: "What do you want to see me for?"
Liu Dachun said: "The common people have something to ask your Excellency."
Jiang Zhixian looked at Li Yu, and Li Yu explained: "Master Jiang, I met this person when I met Mrs. Jin Ye. After knowing that we wanted Mrs. Jin Ye to do something, he came here specially. Come and ask why."
Jiang Hong scolded: "Brother Li, could it be that I told you that you brought him here without knowing who this person is?"
Li Yu said: "I really don't know the details of this person, but I see that he seems to have a deep affection for Mrs. Jin Ye, and I am worried that he will do something that will affect our plans. Rather than doing this, it is better to bring him back and explain clearly. "
Jiang Zhixian said to Liu Dachun: "You get up and answer." Liu Dachun stood up, and Jiang Zhixian asked: "First, tell me who you are and what your relationship is with Mrs. Jinye."
Liu Dachun said: "Go back to your Excellency. The grassroots name is Liu Dachun, from a village called Liujia Village outside Xiaolin Town. My family and Jinye's family are opposite each other. We grew up together. Later, she married into a family named Qian. At first Fortunately, although she was a concubine, she often went in and out of the Qian Mansion and helped take care of the Qian family's tea shop. About a year ago, for some unknown reason, Jin Ye no longer came in or out of the manor. People in the manor said that she had contracted a bad disease. Even her mother was not allowed to see her. Moreover, Qian Fei was indifferent to her mother. I became suspicious of this matter, so I went to Qian's house and became a servant. After asking around, I found out that Jin Ye was Imprisoned in a courtyard. Yesterday, I was planning to take Jin Ye away from Qian's Mansion, so I met this Li Shaoxia. My lord, Jin Ye's life is already very miserable, so don't make things difficult for her anymore. You guys If someone needs to do something, let me do it.”
Jiang Hong said bluntly: "No, we can't believe you. Who knows whether what you said is true or made up."
Zhu Shuo pondered for a while and said, "It's not difficult to verify the authenticity. I'll ask someone to come over later." Then he walked out of the door.
Jiang Zhixian said earnestly: "I know that you are deeply affectionate, but the matters we discussed can only be done by Mrs. Jin Ye, and no one else can do it. If you are doing her best, be more calm on weekdays and don't do too much. Go and bother her. Go back."
Liu Dachun knelt down again, covered his face and sobbed, and said: "Sir, I have failed her once, and I can't let her get involved in danger again this time." As the saying goes, a man will not shed tears lightly, and will burst into tears when faced with the situation. Liu Dachun, for a moment, everyone didn't know how to persuade him, so they had to let him cry alone. Zhu said he opened the door and walked over with Old Lady Xiong. Liu Dachun looked out the door, then walked to Old Lady Xiong on his knees and shouted: "Aunt Xiong! Aunt Xiong!"
Mrs. Xiong squinted her eyes and looked at Liu Dachun's face carefully, and exclaimed: "Dachun? Why are you here?"
Dachun said: "Aunt Xiong, I heard, Brother Pan?" Dachun mentioned "Brother Pan" twice, and Mrs. Xiong's eyes turned red, and she closed her eyes and nodded silently.
County Magistrate Jiang asked: "Sister Xiong, do you know this person?"
Old Mrs. Xiong said: "We know Dachun from Xiaoye's house. They have been in love since they were young. It's a pity. They are destined but not destined." Old Mrs. Xiong asked Dachun: "What are you doing here?"
Dachun said: "Let me help Ye Zi!"
Mrs. Xiong said with a puzzled look: "How can you help?"
Dachun said excitedly: "Aunt Xiong, I have drawn the map of Qian's Mansion. I will find a time to bring Ye Zi out. At that time, the three of us will go together. Brother Pan is gone, and the two of us will give it to you. Retirement!”
Mrs. Xiong said excitedly: "It's rare for you to have such a heart! But now, Aunt Xiong, I just want to avenge your brother Pan! He was indirectly killed by Qian Bufei and others!"
Dachun asked: "Aunt Xiong, what's going on?"
Old Mrs. Xiong was excited and out of breath. Jiang Zhixian said anxiously: "Ah Hong, hurry up and help Old Mrs. Xiong!" Jiang Hong, Li Yu and Zhu Yue hurriedly stepped forward and helped Old Mrs. Xiong sit down. on the chair beside him. Jiang Zhixian knew a little about medical skills and massaged Old Mrs. Xiong's back a few times. Old Mrs. Xiong took a breath and sat heavily on the chair with her head lowered. Jiang Zhixian said to Old Mrs. Xiong: "Sister Xiong, you are not feeling well. Go back and rest first. Let us tell him why." Mrs. Xiong nodded, and Jiang Zhixian motioned to Jiang Hong to help Old Mrs. Xiong. Go back to the guest room and rest.
After Mrs. Xiong left, Liu Dachun wiped the tears from his eyes and said, "Master Magistrate, what is going on?"
Jiang Zhixian said: "You should know that there have been robbers in our neighborhood for more than a year." Liu Dachun nodded. Jiang Zhixian continued: "Xiong Pan had a fight with someone before and injured someone. Later, in order to avoid the government, he escaped and became a bandit together with the robbers. Later, one of the robbers reported the news to the outside world. , together with Qian Bufei and the Yiyang Gang, killed the remaining robbers in one fell swoop, and Xiong Pan died in their plan."
Liu Dachun said: "There is such a thing!"
Jiang Zhixian said: "I have heard about what Qian Bufei did, but after all, it was some unkind and domineering behavior for the sake of wealth. Even if he is punished for this, he will only pay some money and get some slaps. What's more, he is now This can be regarded as a meritorious service, so we must find sufficient evidence to arrest him."
Liu Dachun said: "Then I dare to ask, what is the magistrate going to do now?"
Magistrate Jiang said: "Jin Ye once told Mrs. Xiong that Qian Bufei secretly sold a large amount of private tea and manufactured counterfeit tea with the Yiyang Gang. If this is true, he can be directly sentenced to death."
Liu Dachun said: "I have been in Qian Mansion for a year and I have never heard of this?"
Zhu said: "If this matter can be known to a servant, then the money is very careless."
Liu Dachun said: "So you hope Ye Zi can find the evidence."
Jiang Zhixian said: "Exactly."
Liu Dachun said: "The common people are willing to do their best, just to preserve the leaves in the future."
After Jiang Zhixian thought about it, he said, "That's fine. You happen to be in charge of the Qian Mansion. We need someone to deliver news to Mrs. Jin Ye at any time."
Liu Dachun said firmly: "I can do it."
