Chapter 218 The ins and outs
Tick -
Thick blood slid down the edge of the table.
Lao Cai at the table closed his eyes in fear, and could clearly feel the traces of the sword blade touching his body.
Three of them did not dare to move, as if by default.
Zhang Feng polished his sword and looked at them, "Since you don't have any objections, from today onwards, some of you will help make up the money for all government operations."
When Zhang Feng said this, he looked at Sun Laocai's body and said, "Just like what shopkeeper Sun said, the people in the shopkeeper's house are from our Qiguang County. Of course the county government supports it. The people from Qiguang County's government office
, are they just outsiders? A few shopkeepers don’t support it? This seems unjustifiable, right?”
"Yes...yes..." An old man nodded hurriedly, expressing his support first.
Anyway, no matter what, let’s leave this place of right and wrong first.
To avoid saying a bad word, he would be beheaded by the new county magistrate.
"His appointment documents may be fake..." Some old men felt that Zhang Feng did not look like a local official.
Now, if Zhang Feng didn't have a badge on his side and the previous county magistrate was indeed dead, one of his official friends in the city would have mentioned to him that a new county magistrate was coming.
He thought Zhang Feng looked like a wanted criminal posted on the wall of some city gate!
But Zhang Feng didn't care what they thought.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Zhang Feng asked the maid outside the room to call Zhang Er and others through the door and bring pen and ink.
The maid obeyed orders from beginning to end and did not come in.
But when Zhang Er and four others came in with pens and ink, they were attracted by the bloody scene in front of them. They drew out their swords and surrounded Zhang Feng.
Suddenly the swords and weapons started again, and the harsh sound of "clang" was heard.
It seemed to have touched the nerves of the four old men, making them even more frightened and afraid to look directly at the vicinity.
"Sir!" Zhang Er stood in front of Zhang Feng and looked at the four old men.
Judging from his posture, it was as if Zhang Feng had given an order and these four people would be killed.
But when he looked at Sun Laocai's open neck and broken spine, he sighed that his master's martial arts skills were not bad and he was a good swordsman. But this was not surprising.
This is all because most of the scholars in this ghost world, although not as good as masters who specialize in martial arts and Taoism, are somewhat capable of self-defense.
rustle-
Zhang Feng took the pen and ink and wrote a simple contract, including all the conditions agreed by the four old men.
When Zhang Er saw it, he took the food on the table to the side and moved the body away.
"Don't say I don't believe you."
Zhang Feng put away his pen and ink and glanced at the contract, "It's just that this matter is of great importance. Writing it in black and white is much better than making an oral promise."
When Zhang Feng saw that the contract was clear, he pushed it in front of the table of the four old men. "It's also written in black and white, and several people signed and pledged it. If the next few people violate it, they will be shortchanged by their own county government. Don't blame me, Zhang Feng, for ignoring me."
Today's banquet and friendship made me sad and killed."
"Master Zhang is right!" The four old men saluted hurriedly, picked up their brushes one by one, and wrote their names on the contract.
Waiting for the moment of pressing fingerprints.
Zhang Feng pointed to the wet blood on the table and said, "Smear it with blood, and shopkeeper Dang Sun agreed."
"Eh..." The four old men nodded again, holding back their fear, and pressed their fingers on the contract with blood on them.
Zhang Feng took it and looked at them, "The shopkeepers should go back and prepare it. I won't send it away."
"Thank you, Sir..." The four of them breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Zhang Feng let go, and all left.
And as time goes by.
At about eleven o'clock in the evening.
The master who was sleeping in the dungeon suddenly opened his eyes with excitement and looked around, as if he had had a nightmare.
But when he felt the warmth in the cell at this moment, and saw the warden dozing on the grass in front of him, guarding the stove all the time, he suddenly remembered what happened before and knew that he had been saved.
"Master..." When the warden saw the master wake up, he cheered up and asked with rare concern: "But the temperature of the stove is too low? Did the cold wake up the master?"
"No..." The master half lifted the quilt on his body, it was hot.
In order to keep away the cold, the warden specially covered the master with a thick quilt, hoping that the master would sweat while sleeping and remove the moisture in the cell.
In this way, when you wake up the next morning, take a shower, change into clean clothes, and feel refreshed.
"Where is your lord?" The master didn't care about this. He just asked where the new county magistrate was, wanting to express his gratitude.
The warden did not hide anything, and told Zhang Feng that he had hosted a banquet for five wealthy men in the county government office.
Because the policemen went to invite five old men.
Such a 'big move' would of course reach the ears of the warden.
But he didn't know the specific details or the process.
When the master heard about it, he got up and went to find the new county magistrate.
He was afraid that Zhang Feng would suffer the consequences of these five local old foxes while talking.
I just had to change my clothes, get out of the cell, and get on the good horse prepared by the warden.
When he arrived at the county government office, the police quickly reported and took him into the courtyard, where he saw the new county magistrate reading a book in the hall.
He stood outside the hall and sighed softly, knowing that the matter was over.
But when he came into the hall and smelled the smell of blood that had not dissipated, he was stunned for a moment, feeling that maybe things had just begun.
"grown ups.."
He came in to salute and wanted to say that he didn't want to come in person.
"Sir, you came just in time." Zhang Feng put down the books in this world and looked at the master, "Please sit down, I have something to ask you, sir."
"Your Majesty's words are serious..." When the master heard Zhang Feng asked him something, he sat down gently, straightened his body, and listened attentively.
Everything was forgotten.
Zhang Feng did not talk about the five old men, but asked in a different direction: "I heard someone talking about 'Zhao's murder of her husband' before. Have you ever heard of it? Or do you know about it?"
"Zhao killed her husband..." When the master heard this, he frowned for a moment, "Three of the reasons why I was imprisoned this time were due to the investigation of this case. It was all because Zhao was taken by the 'Shopkeeper Xing'.
The shopkeeper is also a good friend of the head catcher, so this matter is very complicated and difficult to explain... It is not just a matter of Zhao's virtue..."
When the master said this, he didn't know how to start talking about this intricate relationship and the interests of morality and ethics.
He always felt disgraced.
When Zhang Feng saw his master like this, for some reason, he suddenly thought of Ximen Qing in Water Margin, and asked for a moment: "Did Shopkeeper Xing seduce Mr. Zhao, and Mr. Zhao poisoned her husband?"
"This..." When the master heard the word 'poisoning', he immediately showed an expression of surprise, held up his hands to Zhang Feng and said: "Your Excellency only listened to the student's two or three words, and then pointed out the key points of the case. The student felt inferior.
!”
"Yeah." Zhang Feng calmed down and his expression did not change, but he didn't expect that he had guessed correctly.
This Mrs. Zhao really got the help of shopkeeper Xing and brought in an adulterer to give medicine to her, as in the Wu Dalang drama of feeding soup to her.
