"Mingfu, I can testify that it was them... they insulted the landlady first, and then the boss... took action." A man took a few steps forward, knelt on the ground and said. It could be seen that he was very nervous, and even his head
They didn't dare to lift it.
"Yes, yes, even the youngest can testify." Another old woman said.
"And me."
"I was there at the time. These scoundrels should have been taught a lesson long ago."
"That's right, that's right, I've seen them molesting women on the street several times, but they didn't let anyone talk about it."
The onlookers came forward one after another to defend Li Dongsheng. It seemed that they were all diners who had eaten at Jianghu Inn, or it could be said that they were refugees who had been rescued by Jianghu Inn.
Seeing that everyone was facing him, Li Dongsheng raised his head even more: "The county magistrate heard it, everyone praised me for teaching me a good lesson. Does the county magistrate have anything else to do? Meng Sima is still waiting for me to go back to play chess."
, and then I have to deliver dinner to the imperial envoy, so I am really busy."
Magistrate Xu stood up in panic: "Oh, then go and get busy, it's none of your business."
"Li excuses himself." Li Dongsheng casually cupped his hands and turned to leave.
Magistrate Xu then turned his attention to the few disciples: "Are you going to leave on your own, or are you going to stay and let me beat you?"
"Oh oh oh, we still have something to do, so we won't disturb the Ming Mansion." Wei Dachuan said and ran away.
"Hey, boss." Seeing this, the two people on the left and right knew that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so they ran away from the crowd.
"Hey, brother, wait for me!" Wei Xiaochuan, who was on the ground, smiled awkwardly at Magistrate Xu, got up, and quickly chased after the three of them.
"What?" Magistrate Xu felt that he had been teased by the four little bastards, and was stunned: "Okay, let's all disperse!"
"Let's go, let's go."
Everyone gradually dispersed, and I smiled at Liu Jiabao: "You're right, it's really a good show!"
"Li Jianghu, please wait a moment."
I was about to leave with Liu Jiabao, but I was stopped by Magistrate Xu.
"I wonder if there is anything else going on in the Ming Dynasty?"
Magistrate Xu waved at me, and when I came closer, he said softly: "Li Jianghu, you are familiar with Jianghu Inn. If it's okay, help me keep an eye on Li Dongsheng."
I looked outside: "Li Dongsheng? What's wrong with him?"
"This man's origins are unknown, and he quickly won the favor of Madam Mu. I was afraid that he was an enemy spy. I wanted to send a government official to keep an eye on him, but I was afraid of disturbing the situation. You have sold tofu at Jianghu Inn, and you are familiar with the people there.
If you have time to go chat with them and get some information, you won't attract any attention."
"I? The Ming Dynasty has really promoted Li. I'm afraid Li..."
"Okay, don't refuse. You have helped our county government conduct autopsies once or twice. Today, you assisted Director Lin in solving the case. It can be seen that you are brave and careful, calm and calm in situations, and can take on big responsibilities.
.”
"But...I...if he is really a spy and finds out that I'm investigating him, will he deal with me?"
I used to be a little worried about Li Dongsheng and thought about checking his background, but Li Huichun gave me a "calming potion". Now, I finally accepted this domineering new owner of the inn. Unexpectedly, the county magistrate suspected him again.
He is dead, what should I do?
"Don't worry, we are still here." Lieutenant Xiao patted me on the shoulder: "If you find any doubts, don't act without authorization. Report to me immediately. These government officials under me will definitely protect you."
"Thank you, Lieutenant Xie." I smiled awkwardly and withdrew.
"Brother Jianghu, you finally came out." Liu Jiabao waited until I was far away from the county government office, then surrounded me again.
I glanced at him helplessly: "You haven't left yet?"
"Waiting for you."
"Wait for me? What's wrong?"
"I heard that you went to assist Master Lin and others in solving the case today?"
"So what?"
Liu Jiabao smiled mischievously: "Do you know why he is looking for you?"
I shook my head: "You know what?"
"Then, who am I? There is nothing in Xiangzhou city that I cannot find out about." Liu Jiabao patted his chest and said boldly.
"Then you say."
"Of course they do it for political achievements. Brother Mu has always loved the people like his own son. If nothing else, he doesn't look like an official at all, so he also hopes that all officials can follow suit.
As a result, all the officials in Xiangzhou, big and small, put down their dignity. Today, the official gave the people a bag of rice, and tomorrow, in order to repay their kindness, the people went to give him a bundle of firewood... and so on, it was really a blind date.
In love!"
Liu Jiabao's face was full of contempt: "Even Brother Mu couldn't stand it any longer, so he quietly told me to keep an eye on him more to see how much he was sincere and how much was fake."
I looked at the brat Liu Jiabao and said, "Is this a mission given to you by the imperial envoy?"
"Well, who would have thought that a kid like me would be responsible for supervising them as officials? Haha, isn't that very impressive?"
I was a little confused: "Since this is your secret mission, why did you tell me?"
Liu Jiabao held his chin and looked me over: "Aren't you okay recently? I think you are familiar with those officials. How about you pay more attention and help me keep an eye on it? Our team is just
There are so many people who can’t even look at it.”
"Who are you looking at?"
"This is up to you."
"Then I'll help you keep an eye on Master Lin."
"Okay. Thank you. If you find anything, remember to come to Yuelai Restaurant to find me. Well... the reward is nothing else. A good meal of good wine and meat will never be missing." Liu Jiabao said, jumping up and down.
Ran away.
I looked at his back and smiled helplessly. He was still a child after all. Lin Sheng was originally the spy that Mrs. Mu suspected. When I checked him, he was working for Xiao Mu, but I didn't expect that he could go to Liu Jiabao Restaurant.
Enjoying delicious food is like pie in the sky.
Lin Sheng?
I followed him during the investigation today and found nothing wrong with him. I even had some doubts about whether he was the ghost-faced man who captured Wang Jiajia last time.
However, Mrs. Mu made an inference to Wang Jiajia and said...
Lin Sheng!
I was thinking, suddenly my eyes lit up, it really said "Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived", there was a man covering his face with a bamboo hat and hurried through the crowd. The moment he raised his head and looked back, I clearly recognized him.
It showed his face. Was it Lin Sheng or who else?
The clothes he wore were worse than the ones he wore when we had dinner at the Jianghu Inn at noon. He also deliberately covered his face for fear that people would recognize him? What was he going to do? Is it necessary to be so sneaky?
Based on my feeling, there might be something wrong with this person. I thought, jogged a few steps, and followed him not far or near.
Heading south! Are you still going? I used the trees and debris on the roadside to cleverly avoid his precautions. It wasn't until he came to the entrance of Wanhua Building that he stopped.
Well, after following me for a long time, it turned out that I came here secretly to have fun. I snickered in my heart, but then I thought about it, I had also gone in with Mrs. Mu to eat flower wine, and the 'contempt' that had just risen was suddenly 'suspicious'
replaced.
Last time Madam Mu invited me to Wanhualou, she said: You can’t just rely on your own eyes, because sometimes your eyes can also lie to you.
Deceive? Cover someone’s eyes?
I think back then, Mrs. Mu disguised herself as a man and came to have wine with me just to solve the case and find Fairy Baiyun who was pretending to be her.
So is this Lin Sheng really obsessed with listening to music?
Perhaps, this is their stronghold!
I was startled by my guess and wanted to rush in to find out. But looking at the two women soliciting customers at the door, I was still discouraged in the end.
I can't control this place, there is Fendai inside. I just don't know how many people there are in their unitary team? Is deputy captain Lei Shaoxuan there?
I wandered around the street corner for a while, and suddenly remembered that Mrs. Mu had entered Wanhua Building many times, but she had never mentioned that this was a base for detailed joints.
The only possibility is that Lin Sheng just pretended to go in, then found a room to change clothes, and then escaped from the shell.
back door!
I slapped my head and ran along the courtyard wall. Sure enough, I saw a man in black clothes hurriedly leaving from the back door. Although I didn't see his face, that figure was most likely Lin Sheng.
I followed him all the way, and he went to a deserted place. He walked about a mile east before he stopped.
I looked around, and I didn't know there was such a secluded and desolate place in Xiangzhou City. There were strange rocks everywhere. At first glance, it looked like the hillside in front of my house, but there were no trees. It was all thatch bushes as tall as a person.
Lin Sheng looked around anxiously, as if waiting for someone, who was probably his accomplice. Xiao Mu had been indulging him, probably just to track down the real leader. If I found out this important person, it would be...
"Idiot, you don't even know there's a tail following you!"
There was a roar in my ears, and I felt a chill on my neck. I turned my head and saw a bright short knife on my shoulder. A strong hand also grabbed my back collar and pushed me out.
When Lin Sheng saw me, he was stunned at first, but then he smiled, put his hand on his chest and bent down to salute: "Master Xiang is teaching me that my subordinates should be more careful and not risk letting him see you."
I knew Lin Sheng was talking to the person behind me. I didn't dare to move for fear that his knife would cut my throat.
"Where are your people?" the person behind asked in a rough voice.
Lin Sheng took out a whistle from his pocket and blew it. Immediately, four black-faced ghost-headed men jumped out from behind the grass in the distance. They trotted over together and stood on both sides of Lin Sheng. They saluted with the same movement: "Goodbye."
Lord Xiang."
Now I can be sure that Lin Sheng was the red-faced ghost who captured Wang Jiajia that time.
"I have always felt that someone was following me since I left the county government office. I never thought it would be you." Lin Sheng took two steps forward and looked at me with a smile: "Li Jianghu, are you the spy selected by the imperial envoy?"
I knew I couldn't deny it, so I could only bite the bullet and answer: "So what?"
"Okay! Dare to admit it, you have the courage!" Lin Sheng praised.
The person behind him handed the knife towards Lin Sheng: "Take care of the tail you attracted, and do it cleanly!"
My heart is in my throat, Li Jianghu, Li Jianghu, are you going to confess here today?
