It was just past nine o'clock, and Liu Yuan, the county's custodian, was already sitting in his signature room. He seemed to be looking through the official documents in his hand, but in fact, his eyes kept glancing out, as if he was expecting something.
Ever since he agreed to Ji Yang's request in the Heshun Building yesterday, he seemed very excited. He almost didn't sleep all night, and he rushed to the county government office before dawn today. Because he knew very well that this was a great opportunity for him to get ahead. As long as he made contributions in this birthday gang robbery, he could stabilize Song Jiang, who was also an escort, and thus seize more power.
However, Liu Yuan, who knew the ways of officialdom well, was not dazzled by this, so he did not take the initiative to take the lead, but arranged a good show. It's almost time for the actors to appear.
At this moment, two figures hurriedly ran in from the outside. This made Liu Yuan, who was already looking forward to it, suddenly stand up and go out. In terms of self-cultivation, he was still somewhat lacking. But just when he came to the door and was about to pretend to ask what happened, he found that the two people who came in actually went straight to the signing room belonging to Song Jiang. This made his face suddenly change. This was Did the other party find the wrong person
At this time, the county government officer who was leading the way had stopped in front of the half-opened door. He stumbled and rushed inside to report: "Secretary, Sun Tu, the owner of the Sun Family Hotel, has come to report that he has something to do with something." Clues to the robbery case of the birthday card..."
"Huh?" Liu Yuan's expression changed even more when he heard this. He remembered clearly that the person he arranged to report was Zhang Chuan. Why was the person changed
Just when he had doubts, Song Jiang's voice came from the room: "You guys come in and talk."
Yu Dayong, who was obviously a little nervous, glanced at Sun Tu beside him, then gently pushed the door open and entered the signing room with Sun Tu. Until this moment, Yu Dayong was still a little confused and couldn't keep up with Sun Tu's rhythm. For some reason, he suddenly changed the robber he testified against, and even came to the county government office early this morning, insisting that he lure him in. When he met Song Yasi... he couldn't figure out everything. If the other party hadn't repeatedly emphasized that this matter was of great benefit to his family, he wouldn't have dared to obey.
But in comparison, Liu Yuan was more nervous, so he quickly moved forward to listen to what Song Jiang inside would say to them.
"You said you have clues about the culprit who robbed the birthday card. Are you serious?" This was Song Jiang's voice. Then, a slightly childish voice rang out: "That's exactly what I said when I went back to Aisi. Yesterday, I accidentally learned from a drinker that he had seen the treasure in the birthday list a few days ago. Because it was related to It's so important that I dare not hide it, so I came here to report it."
"What happened? Did that person ever mention where he saw the treasure?" Song Jiang asked anxiously.
"It was at the home of Ji Yang, the owner of the Ji family village. He once mentioned that it was a set of wine bottles and wine glasses carved from a single piece of jade. They were extremely exquisite."
Liu Yuan, who was eavesdropping outside the door, suddenly changed his expression when he heard this. How could things have changed like this? Before he could recover from the shock, the door in front of him was suddenly opened, and he was unexpectedly exposed in front of Song Jiang. He could only smile awkwardly and say hello: "Song A manage… "
"Liu Yasi, you must have heard what this person accused him of. That Ji Yang dared to do such evil deeds in broad daylight is an unpardonable crime!" Song Jiang did not pursue his intention of eavesdropping. , just said it righteously.
Liu Yuan was already a little panicked at this time, and immediately said: "Song Yasi, Ji Yang has always been a good person, how dare you do such a thing? I think there must be some misunderstanding, Or maybe someone is setting up a frame to blame." As he said that, he stared at Sun Tu intently, as if he was threatening.
Sun Tu didn't pay attention to the other party's terrifying look that almost engulfed him, and Song Jiang said even more forcefully: "This is a big matter, it is related to the robbery of the birthday card. As long as there are clues, no matter who it is, they will investigate it." In the end!" After saying that, he glanced at Liu Yuan who was about to say something else, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a threat: "I have heard that Liu Yasi and Ji Yang are very close. Could it be that you want to protect Yu? him?"
When these words fell into Liu Yuan's ears, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He immediately swallowed the words that were on his lips and said solemnly: "Song Yasi's words are serious. I just don't want to wrongly accuse a good person..."
"Hmph, we have to interrogate whether he is a good person or not before we can know for sure. Come, please go and ask Lei Dutou." Song Jiang took the opportunity to issue an order.
Yu Dayong, who clearly felt the solemn atmosphere at the side, did not dare to stay. He quickly agreed and ran out. After a while, he rushed back with a tall and mighty man. It was the whole county who was flying with wings and thunder. .
When Sun Tu curiously looked at this future Liangshan hero, Song Jiang had already given instructions with a solemn expression: "Lei Dutou, someone has reported that Ji Yang from Jijiazhuang is closely related to the thieves who robbed the birthday card the day before yesterday. Please bring some troops to arrest him, and you must search carefully to make sure you don’t miss any important evidence."
Before Lei Heng could respond, Liu Yuan said urgently again: "Song Yasi, are you being too presumptuous in making such an opinion? Is it better to report this matter to Magistrate Liu first and then take action in the district?"
"Now Magistrate Liu is still in the back office, maybe he hasn't gotten up yet. When things are urgent, the priority is to catch the thieves." Song Jiang said firmly.
Song Jiang, who had always been easy to talk to, suddenly became so tough, which made Liu Yuan a little unable to deal with it. He could only say with a tiger face: "Song Yasi, you should also know the identity of the disciplinary officer. Acting so recklessly, once the report is untrue. , you can't afford it!" This was his last excuse. After all, people in the officialdom always seek for success before making meritorious deeds.
But Song Jiang didn't take his advice at all, and replied: "If I make a mistake, I will apologize to the county magistrate. But Liu Yasi, you have blocked me so many times, but is there something wrong in your heart?"
"You..." Liu Yuan was suddenly speechless. For this reason, he could no longer stop him. When Lei Heng saw this, he clasped his fist at Song Jiang and strode out. As the commander of the county's troops and the capture of thieves, he just obeyed orders. As for any disputes between the two guards, it was not easy to mediate.
Watching Lei Heng leave, and then hearing a burst of hurried footsteps heading towards the door, Liu Yuan's face suddenly turned livid, and at the same time, he kept looking at Song Jiang and Sun Tu with hateful eyes. . At this time, he had already vaguely guessed some of the inside story. I'm afraid that everything in front of him was just like his own arrangement. It was premeditated!
Song Jiang ignored this ugly-looking colleague at all, only greeted Sun Tu and walked to the back office. After sending people to Jijiazhuang to fetch people on his own initiative, he still had to report to County Magistrate Liu.
Just when Liu Yuan was hesitating whether to follow and report Song Jiang's situation to the county magistrate, several more people suddenly rushed to the second hall. As soon as the leader Zhang Chuan saw Liu Yuan, he said anxiously: "Liu Yasi, I just got a huge piece of news. The person who robbed the birthday card in broad daylight was actually Chao Gai from Dongxi Village..."
Liu Yuan, who should have been very happy about this, had a gloomy look on his face at this time. Why did the person he arranged arrive so late? He was completely taken advantage of!
Then, he stared at Zhang Chuan, who was a little confused: "Tell me everything you know quickly." The process still needs to be followed.
At this time, Song Jiang and Sun Tu had already turned along the road paved with bluestones, and a faint smile appeared on the latter's face.
"What is Sanlang smiling at?" Song Jiang accidentally caught a glimpse of that smile and asked casually.
"I'm just laughing at Zhang Chuan. After all, he is a rogue. He can tell people's flaws just by opening his mouth." Sun Tu replied.
"Really?" Song Jiang glanced at Sun Tu meaningfully and nodded: "Of course Zhang Chuan's brains and strategies are far inferior to yours, Sun Sanlang."
Just this glance gave Sun Tu the feeling that his thoughts were completely seen through, which made him feel nervous. But Song Jiang had no intention of continuing this topic, so he could only remain silent. But one thing he already knew well, the Song Yasi in front of him was far smarter than he thought.
Just when the two of them came to the separation between the Second Hall and the Houya with a somewhat strange atmosphere, a middle-aged official in official uniform walked out of the Moon Gate in front. When he saw Song Jiang, he was obviously stunned. Then: "Song Yasi, why are you here?"
Song Jiang winked at Sun Tu, and then stepped forward to greet him: "Greetings to the county magistrate, I have something important to report from my humble position!"
