Although the case was tricky, Ye Xiaotian had no intention of shirking it. As a classic history of full-time murderers and robbers, it is impossible for him to shirk his responsibility. What's more, Lin Yuanwai is the father-in-law of Zhang Zhifu, and Zhang Yi has shown him the kindness of knowing him, how can he not go all out for this matter.
Furthermore, if he wanted to gain a foothold in Hu County, he had to defeat Xu Boyi. Because the conflict between the two of them has become irreconcilable. Only when Xu Boyi fell down, with Hua Qingfeng's consistent style, did he not dare to lightly start a war with him.
Otherwise, Xu Boyi would have Hua Qingfeng to help him, and he would be his immediate boss, so he would have the opportunity to challenge him. Once Xu Boyi got the upper hand, Hua Qingfeng would make trouble, and there would be an ambiguous king master. If you come out and bite him, the consequences will be worrisome.
In this case, Xu Boyi can afford to lose, but he can't afford to lose, as long as he loses once, he may lose everything. Therefore, relying on the sharpness of the new victories and continuing to expand their influence can offset Xu Boyi's advantage in official positions.
However, seeing Hua Qingfeng shirking responsibility so much and Xu Boyi gloating at the sidelines, Ye Xiaotian felt quite unhappy, so he deliberately shirked and said: "My lord, as the official history, it is naturally duty-bound to catch murderers and robbers. But this thief did not They are not ordinary thieves, but a bandit in the green forest who runs across hundreds of thousands of mountains, and has a hundred heroes under his command, even if he uses officers and soldiers, he may not be able to harm him at all, the officials have more than enough heart but not enough strength!"
Before Hua Qingfeng could speak, Xu Boyi lowered his face and reprimanded him: "What is this called? I wait for the imperial salary, so I should serve the imperial court, share the worries of the emperor and father, and protect one side of Li Shu. Now Lin Yuanwai has been tied up as a meat ticket , there is no such relationship as the magistrate, we should do our best and die, how can we retreat in fear of difficulties and shirk our responsibilities."
"Papa papa!"
Ye Xiaotian clapped his hands lightly, and praised happily: "Xu Xiancheng's words are really impassioned and loud, and Ye admires it! It's just that Ye's position is light-hearted, so it's better to ask Xu Xiancheng to preside over the case, and Ye is willing to confess Drive, how?"
When Xu Boyi heard this, he immediately coughed: "I...cough, cough...I'm afraid I have more energy than I have. If I delay a major event, and the magistrate blames it, wouldn't it be embarrassing for the magistrate? If it wasn't for my weakness , Needless to say, this officer will also take full responsibility!"
Ye Xiaotian chuckled, glanced at him contemptuously, and said to Hua Qingfeng: "The lower official will take full responsibility for this case, if you need to use the inspector Luo..."
Hua Qingfeng immediately said: "This county will ask Luo inspector to fully cooperate with you."
Ye Xiaotian said again: "If the lower official can't rescue the forest member, he will naturally bear full responsibility. But if the lower official is lucky enough to succeed, but someone pretends to be a dead dog beforehand and grabs the credit afterwards, the lower official will not be reconciled..."
How could anyone in the officialdom speak so clearly? Xu Boyi was so angry that his eyes widened, but Hua Qingfeng blushed, and immediately said: "This county will report the facts to the imperial court, and no one will share the benefits. To your credit!"
"good!"
Ye Xiaotian stood up and bowed to Hua Qingfeng, Wang Zhubu, and Xu County Prime Minister Tuantuan, and said: "In this case, I am willing to take full responsibility for this case, regardless of success or failure, I will bear it on my shoulders and leave!"
After Ye Xiaotian finished speaking, he turned around and left, Hua Qingfeng and Xu Boyi couldn't help but looked at each other, when Ye Xiaotian walked out of the second hall, Hua Qingfeng couldn't help but said: "Seeing how confident he is, is there really a way to deal with that 'one dragon'?"
Xu Boyi said in disdain: "How is it possible? 'One dragon' has been a disaster in the east of Guizhou for many years, and the court has offered rewards many times for his arrest. Has anyone ever hurt half of his hair? After this person committed the crime, he went to the deep mountains and old forests. Where his lair is, even if we send millions of soldiers, how can we get him. I think Ye Xiaotian is unscrupulous because of his friendship with Zhang Zhifu as a teacher and student."
Hua Qingfeng hypocritically said: "I hope so, Hu County has been troubled recently, if he can really crack this case, it will be a good thing for us all. It's just that this person often does amazing things, I'm afraid he doesn't know Whether it is serious or not, there will be even bigger troubles."
Master Wang said indifferently: "You two are suspicious, what is the meaning of Ye Xiaotian's actions? From my point of view, as a canon historian, since Mr. Xu is ill, he cannot get rid of the responsibility no matter what, so he Just give it a go."
Hua Qingfeng was startled, and said, "It's that simple."
Master Wang said sarcastically: "How complicated can it be? Your Excellency, I think you are too smart, so simple things can be very complicated!"
※※※
After Ye Xiaotian left the county office, he turned to the hillside not far away.
There are bonfires on the hillside, and the young warriors who have worked all day are sitting around the bonfire, grilling the small animals they have caught. The bamboo rats are grilled until they squeak, and some unknown insects are placed on the stone slabs. Roasted crispy, and drinking their home-brewed rice wine, it is also pleasant.
They didn't care when they saw people going up the mountain at night, not to mention that Ye Xiaotian was alone, even if there were a few more, they were not afraid that they would come to make trouble on the mountain.
Ye Xiaotian is really not sure about dealing with "Yilong". He has no experience in arresting bandits, and these bandits are hiding in the wild jungle. It is useless to mobilize the people and use eyeliners to find out their whereabouts. If you want to arrest them, Not to mention mobilizing the police and the people, even mobilizing officers and soldiers is of little use.
But just as Master Wang said, as a classic history, he can't get away with this matter at all. Xu Boyi was originally tied up, but Xu Boyi is pretending to be a dead dog. He pulled in, since stretching out the head and retracting the head is also a knife, why not die a hero
Besides, although "Yilong" is difficult to deal with, he may not be completely helpless. He has 8,000 young seedlings who are working for him to build a house for free. As long as he gives orders, these people are lucky enough to work for the supreme venerable Shouting and rushing into the deep mountains, even if Long Lingyun was hiding in the mouse hole, they could still find him out.
Ye Xiaotian thought as he went up the mountain, it would be inappropriate to send 8,000 people to the deep mountains and old forests to arrest bandits, that kind of place is not where the victory or defeat is determined by the number of people, and it will be a waste of time if there are too many people. Hundreds of bandits fled quickly.
However, these mountain seedlings are natural jungle fighters. If we select some elites from among them, as long as we can find the lair of "Yilong", we may not have a chance to succeed. hopefully.
At this time, the construction of the Ye family mansion has begun to take shape. The gate, vestibule, main hall and other parts have been completed, and only the painting and cleaning work is left. The second and third entrance courtyards of the main building complex have also been constructed. Half, as for the left and right wing rooms and the entire garden area, they are placed at the end of the project.
In the front courtyard, under the starlight and moonlight, the ground has already been paved with extremely flat boulders. Sister Sun was sitting on each stone. Hua Yunfei came from the distant bonfire and handed her a grilled fish.
Sister Sun thanked her, took the grilled fish wrapped in tree branches, and ate it like a kitten, very gentle.
"Go ahead and talk about what happened next."
Sister Sun was listening to Hua Yunfei's account of how he sought revenge from Qi Mu. Hua Yunfei continued to talk, and Sister Sun turned her face to listen. In the middle, the pointed nose tip and petal-like lips cut out a charming silhouette.
"That's it, you killed them all at once?"
"Hmm! You can't imagine the terrified look of Meng Xiancheng when he saw me. And Qi Mu, he has always been so arrogant. After being imprisoned, he is still arrogant, because he has already spent a lot of money to buy off the punishment department. He will definitely let him out. As a result, he suddenly saw me, with that strange expression... "
Hua Yunfei took a long breath, and said: "Qi Mu has a good kung fu, but he was wearing a heavy shackle at the time, and he could only be beaten to death by me. Fortunately, there is a big brother, otherwise I would not be able to avenge him .If it were another person, even if he wanted to help me, he would not be able to come up with such an idea. Brother, he... "
Hua Yunfei pondered for a while, then smiled lightly and said, "Brother is not a rule-abiding person, it seems that God sent him to the world just to break the rules."
Sister Sun recalled some things she had heard from her father, she nodded deeply and said: "Yes! The Venerable is indeed like this. My Gu religion has been passed down for thousands of years, and I have never seen him like this... Strange Venerable, since he ascended the throne When he succeeded to the throne, he did nothing like his predecessors. He inherited the position of the venerable in the melee, refused to accept the Jue Si Tang, refused to accept the concubine, insisted on traveling the world for twenty years, and wanted to marry a wife and have children …”
Younger Sister Sun sighed softly and said: "All the rules have been broken by him, but the elders just can't do anything about him, maybe the previous venerables have thought of doing this, but those venerables have never done this. Courage to try."
Hua Yunfei glanced at Sister Sun, and said tentatively, "You like my elder brother very much, don't you?"
Younger Sister Sun turned her face sideways, raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at him and said, "What kind of liking are you talking about?"
Hua Yunfei said: "Uh... There are many kinds of likes?"
Younger Sister Sun said: "Of course, I like my parents, my younger brother, and my good sisters who grew up together. No one likes the same."
Hua Yunfei said: "What I said... is that men like women... no, no, they like... the way women like men."
Sister Sun gnawed a piece of fish, carefully put the fish bones aside, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, bent her knees, hugged her knees with both hands, put her chin on it, and looked ahead quietly, as if Thinking about what Hua Yunfei said.
A clear spring suddenly appeared on the flat ground in front of it, and it sprayed more than one foot high, and it sprayed for a while, and then disappeared suddenly.
Sister Sun let out a sigh of relief, and said slowly: "It doesn't count, and I can't tell. I remember when I first met him, he was my brother's godfather. After my brother was born, he kept crying. My father According to the custom of the clan, he went to Qiaotou to invite his godfather, and finally invited the Venerable.
At that time, I didn't pay much attention to him. I just thought that my younger brother's godfather was very young and good-looking, but he was only a few years older than me, so it was a little embarrassing to follow my younger brother to call him godfather. Later, he was suddenly selected by Gu God and became our venerable.
At that time, I didn't have any special feelings for him, but I was happy for him and my brother. You have to know how glorious it is to be the adoptive son of the Venerable. Then, according to the rules, each tribe chose a concubine for the Venerable..."
