Chapter 1116

The door stammered and could not say a complete word.

Xiao Wang yelled: "Mr. Cui asked who you are! Are you dumb? "

Menzi's face turned pale, and he just said: "villain is It's from this yamen Prison head His name is pan Laosan. Mr. Li Mr. Li has already left this morning. "

Xiao Wang asked, "where is the official seal of the county government?"

Pan Laosan was a little quiet at this time, because he said, "I don't know the official seal. Because Mr. Li left with his confidants and didn't inform others. This official seal It must be in the Yamen hall. As for where it is, I don't know. But master Cui, if you look carefully, you will find it. "

Cui Zhonglei couldn't help it any more and said, "where is the Yamen servant? What's the difference between books? Where is the Yamen patrol

Pan Laosan said: "if you go back to master Cui, the constable has left in the last two months. The old book office has taken sick leave a month ago and has not returned. As for the Yamen patrol I really don't know... "

Cui Zhonglei interrupted him: "so you are the only one left in this big Lan county yamen?"

Pan Laosan licked his face and said with a smile, "isn't there only one villain? The villain saw everyone leave and thought how could I go before the new Master arrived? So it's better to insist on not going and ask the master for a reward. "

Cui Zhonglei sneered and turned to Xiao Wang: "put him in prison! How can a good yamen be like this! I'll get to the bottom of it

Pan Laosan cried out in a loud voice. Xiao Wang slapped him in the face, tied his hands, kicked him and said, "lead the way ahead!"

Pan Laosan cried and asked, "where is the master going?"

The little king said, "aren't you a jailer! Go to your prison

Through the front yard, the guard's room was empty, and behind it was the cell, empty.

The cell had been useless for a long time and had many cobwebs, but the door looked very solid and the windows were all iron fences.

Xiao Wang pushes pan Laosan into the first small cell, locks the iron door, and then returns to Cui Zhonglei.

The coachman arranged all the luggage and left.

Cui Zhonglei said, "it's dark now. Where are you going to rest?"

The coachman said, "it's necessary to have a night's rest in the streets."

Cui Zhonglei said: "why, since you are here, you might as well make do with it for one night!"

The driver was overjoyed and knelt down to thank him. He ran to the well and said he wanted to fetch water to clean the tables, chairs and beds.

Xiao Wang saw that the coachman was busy, because he whispered: "my Lord, the coachman has a good face. He should be a useful person."

Cui Zhonglei nodded: "that's why I keep him." He said, "let's go to the lobby and yamen hall."

Xiao Wang picked up the lantern and went to the lobby door. He pushed the door open. The iron at the junction of the door was rusty and creaky.

When he entered the lobby, Xiao Wang held up his lantern. He saw dust everywhere, cobwebs hanging all over the walls, the red tablecloth on the case had faded and broken, and several fat mice galloped past the table.

Cui Zhonglei frowned and said: "look at this, it seems that no one has lived for a long time!"

Xiao Wang opened the curtain that separated the hall and the study, and the dust on the top of the wall fell down one after another.

There is only one desk, one armchair and five wooden stools in neiya study, each of which is rickety and dilapidated.

Xiao Wang opened the door of the small room where the files were placed, but he smelled a damp and rotten smell.

They couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses tightly. When they looked inside, they saw a bookshelf beside the wall, which was full of suitcases containing official documents and cases. Maybe they had been put away for a long time, and all of them had white mold.

Seeing this, Cui Zhonglei shook his head and sighed: "I didn't expect that these documents were wasted to such a degree! But I'm angry that Li Zhi county didn't do anything! "

Xiao Wang said angrily, "if Li Zhi county has something to do, he won't lead his family away without waiting for adults to take over."

Cui Zhonglei is angry and confused. He kicks the door to the cloister and goes back to the courtyard quietly. Xiao Wang leads the way with a lantern.

The coachman had cleaned the bed, couch, table and chair in his bedroom. Seeing that the magistrate came, he quickly put his hand aside and said respectfully, "master, the bedroom inside has been cleaned."

Cui Zhonglei looked at him up and down, and saw that he had a straight face, a straight nose, a square mouth, and a kind-hearted eyebrow. He didn't look like a coachman, but he was hit by a thunderstorm in the mountains yesterday, and he was all wet. When he went to the nearest village, where could he care so much? When he saw that there was a ready-made coachman in the small market at the entrance of the village, he didn't think about it. He hired him first. Now on second thought, he didn't look like a rickshaw puller. He sat down and asked him, "what's your name? How could it be in the village market? Looks like he's waiting for me? "

The coachman fell to his knees and said, "to tell you the truth, I'm really waiting for the new magistrate. But when I first met him, I didn't know that he was the new magistrate of Lan county."Cui Zhonglei asked, "what's going on? Tell me more about it

The coachman said, "the villain's surname is Fang Mingwu. He is eight years old this year. He used to be a craftsman in Lan county who started a iron shop for a living."

Xiao Wang exclaimed, "are you from Lan county?"

Fang Wu nodded: "I beg the master to forgive the villain for concealing his crime, villain..." Fang Wu wants to talk and stops, it seems that there is something hard to say.

Cui Zhonglei began to work as a water conservancy supervisor when he was young. Although he was practical and had never tried a case, he had been to Baihua town for more than a year or two. He had seen numerous criminals with Lord Lin in the town. After being instructed by Lord Lin, he also developed some skills of looking at people's faces. At a glance, he knew whether they were good or evil. He was not completely accurate and had five points.

In front of him, Fang Wu was supposed to be a good man, so he kindly advised: "brother Fang, you don't have to be afraid. If you have something to say, it doesn't matter."

Fang Wu was stunned and murmured: "villain How dare adult! The villain is really... "

Xiao Wang said impatiently, "if you have something to say, please tell him. Mr. Cui is a good official. If you have grievances, please tell him!"

Fang Wu made up his mind and said, "Fang Wu, a villain, has lived in Lan county for generations. My father passed away 12 years ago and handed over his family's ironmaking shop to him. So he inherited his father's business of ironmaking. Only five months ago, he had to run away from home."

Cui Zhonglei said: "blacksmiths are also respectable. It's not difficult to earn enough to eat. Why don't you do it, but run to become a rickshaw puller who lives on foot in the mountain village market?"

Fang Wu lowered his head and said, "the villain and his wife have a son and two daughters. There are five members in the family. They are healthy, hardworking and frugal. They pay taxes and silver monthly. They don't worry about three meals. It's not fashionable to eat meat. His wife is virtuous and virtuous, and his eldest son is sixteen years old. He is tall and powerful. He is filial to his parents and cherishes his younger sister. The eldest daughter is fourteen years old, chaste and graceful, similar to her mother. The youngest girl is 11 this year. She was raised as a man when she was a child. She likes to play with swords and sticks most. In her spare time, she likes to follow villains to listen to her husband's storytelling at the storytelling stand. Life is very comfortable and beautiful. "
