?He said he was going to leave, but Li Yan still stayed at Zhen's mansion until noon. When the police from the county government arrived, Li Yan and the three of them revealed their identities, let the police lead the way, and rushed to the county government.
Zhen's mansion also has to dispatch people to carry the bodies of the old lady and the two maidservants, and send them to the morgue of the county government along with the guards. The officials of the Zhen family are going out to do business in Zhili, and they will definitely not be able to return for a while. , as the sufferer, sister Yu must make this trip.
The three of Li Yan went to the county government office. On the one hand, they were on the way. On the other hand, this matter did not have the approval of the government. It was not legal for Li Yan to escape alone.
As early as the Jiajing period, for all cases related to ghosts and heretics, or suspected ghosts and heretics, there was a "Dragon and Tiger Metropolitan Supervision" office responsible for investigating and apprehending. Suspected to be behind the scenes, this matter has to be reported to the county government, and the county magistrate approves, and then the local "Dragon and Tiger Supervisor" will handle it. This is the law.
However, Li Yan carried Shangfeng's handwritten imperial edict on his body, and even if he left, he didn't know what to do, but it was a trouble after all.
Furthermore, Li Yan has his own plans.
? It seems that the Forty-Eight Road outsiders are in the dark, and they are in the light, but it is not the case.
Escorting the dragon and tiger flags by myself is the will of the Emperor God, and all state government offices have the obligation and responsibility to do their best to provide convenience for themselves. Li Yan should be the one who is holding back the general trend.
It's fine if we couldn't find any clues before, but now the case of Zhen's mansion, and what Zha Xiaodao has seen and heard, proved that there was a "beater" among heretics who committed the crime, which gave Li Yan the clue to attack.
It's not that Li Yan didn't listen to what Er Jian told his Danniang, saying that he would do less to kill, but in his opinion, using the power of the government to restrain the forty-eight outsiders and let them avoid troubles for him is to let The best way to avoid killing yourself
Along the way, the police did not dare to neglect, after all, the first rank of officials crushed people to death. When they arrived at the gate of the county government office, everything was in order, and the government servant had to go in and report to the magistrate, so that Li Yan could stop him.
"Brother, you take my tooth card, go in with this handwriting, and pass it on to the county magistrate. I'm sorry."
The yamen servant took what Li Yan gave him, and trotted into the yamen.
After about one cigarette, the yamen servant came back and returned the handbook and dental plaque, saying that the county magistrate had invited him to let Li Zhenfu go through the hall.
The county magistrate here is surnamed Li and styled Wuyi. He was a Jinshi in the 28th year of Wanli, and his official reputation is not bad.
Li Zhixian is a young man in his twenties. He looks much younger than Li Yan, with elegant appearance and decent manners.
When he saw Li Yan, he was dressed in a vermilion sword case and a large bronze sword, and he hugged his fists to greet him.
"Li Zhenfu has come from a long way, and Wu Yi has lost his way, please forgive me."
"Where, where."
The two exchanged a few words of greeting, and divided the guests and hosts into seats.
Li Yan picked up the tea bowl: "My lord, we are from the same family, so we have a close relationship. However, I bear the emperor's order, so the polite words will be avoided. I think you have heard the ins and outs of the matter. You are the local parent official. , I don¡¯t want to embarrass you, but I still want to finish this case quickly.¡±
His own official position is also higher than that of the seventh-rank county magistrate and the ninth-rank Longhu Dujian, so there is no need to go around in circles with Li Wuyi.
Li Zhixian blinked, pondered for a while, and then said: "Master Zhenfu speaks quickly, the evil spirit kills people, and then punishes them. The evidence is solid, and the case should be closed. The Zhen family has nothing to say"
Li Yan was taken aback for a moment, and then reacted.
The magistrate probably thinks that he has played some disgraceful role in the case, and that he is guilty of a crime if he wants to close the case quickly?
"That was not what I meant."
Li Yan coughed: "Sister Yu of the Zhen family testified that the body of the old lady who killed the old lady had a bracelet worn by a man who beat him ten miles north of the bull's head bar. This is clearly the result of his sorcery. What I mean is, Your Excellency should immediately send someone to arrest this murderer and bring him to justice! I will also set off as soon as possible to go to Longhushan Tianshidao."
"Well, Zhenfu is right, and it makes sense."
Li Wuyi nodded slightly, as if he wasn't the one who said to close the case just now.
"However, Master Zhenfu, this matter is a bit difficult."
"Difficult? What's the embarrassment? Your county magistrate doesn't even have the power to arrest a watchman?"
Li Yan raised his eyebrows.
Li Zhixian shook his head: "Of course I can send this manpower. It will take the past two days to write the papers to the Ministry of Punishment, and to send the sea arrest documents. It is the job of the Dragon and Tiger Superintendent to arrest heretics, let alone me, the county magistrate." Even if Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment does not have the will of the God Emperor, to order people to arrest Xie Chong is also exceeding his authority."
Li Yan nodded: "That's easy to handle. Before I came, a dragon and tiger Taoist priest next to Mr. Li gave me a riding token, which can be used to mobilize the local dragon and tiger superintendents. You find the person, and I will fight with him." explain."
"That's great!" Li Wuyi cheered up: "When Guo Dujian comes tomorrow afternoon, I will definitely tell the truth."
"Tomorrow afternoon?" Li Yan frowned: "What is he doing now?"
"Oh. Your Excellency does not know that the Longhu Yamen is different from our county government. There are seven days of salary leave in a ten-day period, and the Guo Dujian will be officially open tomorrow."
"I can't wait, tell him to come see me now."
"this¡¡"
Li Wuyi's face was full of embarrassment, and it took him a long time to say: "Li Zhenfu, please forgive me, this dragon and tiger yamenis not the same as my civil and military affairs. I'm afraid people"
Li Yan lowered his head and drank the tea in the cup, and suddenly chuckled: "I just said that I and the Lord Magistrate belong to the same family, and I don't want to make it difficult for my family. You can just send it, oh yes, At the gate of the yamen are still standing the bitter master of the Zhen family and one of my subordinate officials. My lord has arranged their residence first, and I will be with you, the magistrate, waiting for this Guo Dujian to come"
"So, that's fine."
The magistrate Li Wuyi nodded and sent someone to arrange it. The two waited in the house.
The two chatted a few words from time to time, probably drank a pot of tea, and ran back to call the yamen servant of Guo Dujian.
"How things are goinghow?"
Li Wuyi asked.
"Reporting to my lord, what Guo Dujian means is that if there is a tolerance, he will be transferred to the Dragon and Tiger Yamen. He will naturally deal with it when he goes to court tomorrow."
Li Wuyi frowned and said, "Didn't you tell him that Li Zhenfu is here?"
Li Yan glanced at Li Wuyi, lowered his head and blew on the tea leaves without speaking.
"It's Mr. Li from the Liaodong Guard."
Li Wuyi said with a sullen face, "Then how did Guo Dujian answer you?"
Without waiting for the yamen servant to speak, Li Yan waved his hand: "That's all, brother, please make another trip, take this and hand it over to the Governor Guo."
He took out the wordless iron plate given to him by the Taoist priest, and handed it to the yamen servant.
The yamen servant took the token and left, and it took another pot of tea before returning.
"Then what did Governor Guo say?"
Li Wuyi pulled a long tone.
"Guo Dujian said, I understand."
The yamen servant seemed a little shy.
Li Yan chewed the tea root, and asked again: "Where is my brand?"
"This I gave it to a servant in Guo Dujian's mansion, and he never saw me again."
Li Wuyi was furious: "You bastard! Incompetent work!"
"Master Li, why are you so angry?"
Li Yan waved his hands tepidly: "Since that Guo Dujian said he knew, he must be on his way here. Just wait."
This waiting is to wait until night.
The water in the teapot was refilled one cup after another.
Li Wuyi seemed more and more anxious, cursing at Guo Dujian, but Li Yan didn't say anything.
It can be seen that Li Wuyi, the county magistrate, is usually angry with Guo Dujian. Today's incident may be his strategy to drive away wolfs and tigers, but Li Yan doesn't care.
"Ahem, Master Zhenfu, it's not as good as tomorrow"
? Li Wuyi also knew that too much was too much, regardless of Li Yan's appearance, Li Wuyi concluded that the governor must be angry with Xiaohan in his heart.
Just then, a drunken voice came from outside.
"Wuyi, hahaha~ Which Li Zhenfu came to look for me?"
After finishing speaking, a fat man in a black Taoist robe walked in with splayed steps. He was disheveled, with lip marks on his neck, a jar of wine under his arm, and a strong smell of alcohol on his body.
"I really don't understand the rules! The people in Longhushan, do you also order me as I say?"
He poked his tongue out: "Suppressing? Shit to soothe."
Li Wuyi's eyelids twitched, and he felt that he might have gone too far.
He had heard of Li Zhenfu of the Great Ningwei, a beloved general of Li Chengliang's lineage, who had made countless contributions in the Korean battlefield, and was by no means a soft persimmon, so he deliberately attracted Guo Zhenfu, who was usually arrogant and domineering. If the two fight, I'm afraid the situation will be difficult to deal with.
Unexpectedly, Li Yan laughed loudly, stood up and greeted him.
"The person who came here is Guo Dujian, the master of heaven, hey, my younger brother Daning Weisi Zuodu Zhenfu Li Yan, I am far away from welcoming you, I hope you can forgive me."
