Seeing Xu Chengfeng take a step back, the military academy officer who had been enduring it for a long time finally couldn't bear it any longer and said in a deep voice: "Lin's arrest, in the entire Yunqin, I'm afraid there hasn't been any arrest that relied on pure conjecture to decide the case.
of."
"No arrest in Yunqin relies on conjecture to solve the case, but every arrest will use some words to observe the words and demeanor to see whether the criminal is guilty."
Lin Xi didn't care about the rebuke from the military man in bronze armor, and said calmly: "If you are rude again and hinder my handling of the case, I will first punish you for disturbing the handling of the case for no reason."
The military academy was furious and shouted: "Lin Ti, you have such great official authority."
"Looking at his look, it's clear that he has a guilty conscience."
"That's right. Otherwise, he was so arrogant before, but now he is so frightened... This officer is also in charge of the Third Town Company General. Is this to please the boss?"
"As I said before, Mr. Arrester, there are many officials who are guests of Yingoufang. This officer and the one who has always been unhappy with Mr. Lin... I'm afraid they all wear a pair of trousers."
Lin Xi didn't make a sound, just looked at the military academy and Xu Chengfeng quietly, but waves of anger and ridicule sounded from the surrounding crowd.
The momentum of the military academy began to fade, and his face slowly turned pale.
Among the assessments of Yunqin's official system, one of them is the folk reputation. The Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Department of Justice have special departments that conduct private interviews in civilian clothes. Most of the officials in these departments are upright officials, and this folk reputation
Style evaluation also plays a very important part in the promotion or censure of officials, and any official knows very well that it is difficult to establish a reputation and prestige among these people, but it is very difficult to destroy one's reputation.
It's easy. Just one or two things will probably make it difficult to change many people's perceptions in the future.
Lin Xi remained silent, just looking at the clear river.
Lin Xi remained silent for a long time. Even though he knew that speaking out at this moment might not be of any benefit, Lien Chanshan, as Lin Xi's senior official, could not ignore it.
So he tried his best to control his emotions and said harmoniously: "Lin Ti, what are you waiting for now?"
Lin Xi glanced at Lien Zhanshan and suddenly couldn't help laughing, laughing with disgust.
Lien Zhanshan hated him but did not dare to hate him at this moment, which made Lin Xi couldn't help but think of Xu Shengmo... Although Xu Shengmo looked bad at him all day long, compared to these people, he was actually much more lovable.
"I'm waiting for someone." Lin Xi smiled disgustedly and said, "You are right. To arrest someone and handle a case, of course you need evidence."
Waiting for someone? Waiting for whom?
Lien Zhanshan didn't know who Lin Xi was waiting for, but because of Lin Xi's tone and the reaction of all the onlookers, he didn't ask any more questions and just stepped away with his hands behind his back.
The scene slowly became quiet, and almost everyone's eyes were focused on the river.
After waiting for a long time, those people standing on high places suddenly started to make some commotion. Soon, everyone saw a black dragon boat appearing on the river.
It wasn't just any dragon boating day, but it was a real dragon boating day.
There were thirty strong men in the boat, all black and oily, rowing hard, and an old man wearing a red scarf on the bow was beating the drum.
The old man and these thirty strong men were all naked from the waist up, and the sweat on their bodies was flowing like earthworms.
Sitting in the boat was a simple old woman in her fifties.
She sat motionless, her gray hair messed up by the river breeze due to the speed of the boat.
The movement of the men paddling and the motionless scene of her made one couldn't help but feel some inexplicable power and was shocked. For a moment, the entire Donggang Town on the side of the river was completely quiet and silent.
The dragon boat has docked.
The simple old woman stood up, straightened her clothes, walked over and walked into the crowd.
The look on her face was very peaceful, and her eyes were very kind and kind, as if she was picking up a child after class at school.
She walked up to Lin Xi, ignored the other officials present, and bowed deeply to Lin Xi, then without saying a word, she glanced at the floating corpse on the ground, and then slowly walked into the small building.
When she came out again, she was holding a basin of water and a clean cloth in her hands. Then she squatted down and began to carefully wipe away some mud, water stains and other dirt on the floating body bit by bit.
, wipe it very carefully.
Everyone completely understood who this old woman was.
This silent scene caused the crowd to start commotion again, more angry voices were heard, and some elderly people and women cried sympathetically.
Lin Xi didn't say anything or stop the old woman's actions. He just took a deep breath and looked at Xu Chengfeng beside him.
Xu Chengfeng's face became paler, but his face also began to be filled with a sneer.
The old woman wiped the floating corpse's face, but could not close his eyes.
She put down the basin and cloth in her hands, knelt down to Lin Xi, and said hoarsely: "This is my son Feng Zeyi, please Mr. Lin to seek justice for my son."
As soon as she finished speaking, her forehead fell heavily on the bluestone in front of her. There was a muffled sound that shocked everyone's hearts. A blood flower bloomed on the bluestone, and blood flowed from the forehead of this simple old woman.
.
Lin Xi took a step forward and had no time to stop her, so she could only support the old woman.
"Don't worry, I will definitely give you justice!"
He pulled off a piece of his sleeve, tied the old woman's wound, whispered this sentence in the old woman's ear, stood up, looked directly at Lien Chanshan, and said: "I want to search Yingoufang
, please allow your permission."
Hearing Lin Xi's words, the sneer that had been suppressed on Xu Chengfeng's face for a long time finally bloomed: "Mr. Lin, even if you doubt Yingoufang, what does it have to do with me? I have already said before that your accusations about me
, it’s all your conjecture. What evidence do you have to say that I have any relationship with Silver Hook Fang?”
Lin Xi glanced at Xu Chengfeng indifferently, then turned to look at Lien Zhanshan again, and said: "Whether Yingoufang has anything to do with him or not, Sir Lian, I want to search Yingoufang first and ask for your permission."
Lien Chanshan took a deep breath.
According to Yunqin law, when there is no definite evidence for arrest, but only suspicion, the police station in his town needs approval to search any residence. As long as he insists on not being allowed at this moment, Lin Xi may not be able to end it, but he can say no
Is it accurate?
Countless people's eyes have been focused on him.
In addition to the townspeople of Donggang Town, there are also many merchants staying in Donggang Town.
If he wasn't sure, I'm afraid just the look from these people could tear him to pieces, not to mention how far it would spread.
"Okay." He nodded with some difficulty and said, "I allow you to search Yingoufang."
It was a little difficult for him to agree, but the sneer on Xu Chengfeng's face became even thicker.
As soon as the news came out, even if we rushed to Yingoufang immediately, what would be left in Yingoufang?
But almost at this moment, a sergeant suddenly squeezed out of the crowd and came to Lien Chanshan and the military academy. He said with a cold face: "A large number of black oilmen and stone rats surrounded Yingoufang."
Already."
"What!"
Xu Chengfeng's sneer instantly froze on his face. Lien Zhanshan and the military academy officer suddenly turned around and looked at Master Zhu Fourth and Second Master Zhang, "You gathered a crowd to surround Fangshi. Do you want to openly rebel?"
"I asked them to help. After I left, all of them would naturally leave." Lin Xi said seriously, "I paid the workers, each one a copper."
After saying that, Lin Xi turned around and strode forward in the direction of Yingoufang. The crowd automatically separated on both sides of him, cheering and applauding.
…
Heng Rongchang's commander Song Chengpeng and several important people on the two Heng Rongchang ships were also among the crowd watching Lin Xi striding forward, watching the policemen behind escorting Xu Chengfeng and others to follow.
"Song Guandai, I didn't expect that he actually dared to do it." Among several important figures in Heng Rongchang, a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows couldn't help but exhale. His original dissatisfaction with Lin Xi, with this breath,
Breathing out, everything seemed to turn into admiration.
There was also a wry smile on Song Chengpeng's face, without any anger at all, "I knew Zhang Longwang and this group of people were bloody, but I didn't expect them to be so bloody. I didn't expect this Lord Xiao Lin to be so bloody."
To a certain extent, it’s just…”
"It's just that you are worried that this kind of bloodiness will be useless in the end. In the end, there are just a few more bloody men on the river, right?" At this moment, a slightly older voice came into their ears.
Song Chengpeng and these people from Hengrongchang were suddenly surprised and happy. They turned around and saw an old man with white eyebrows and clear eyebrows standing behind them. They all bowed together and saluted with the most sincere respect.
He said: "Big shopkeeper, why are you here?"
"I happened to be passing by and heard about such an incredible arrest, so I happened to see this wonderful and bloody nature, which really made the river surface a lot clearer." The old man with white eyebrows looked at the direction where Lin Xixing was going, and said
Said with admiration.
"When I came here, I heard that Jiang Yanguan happened to be in Lu Dongling. If you don't want to see fewer bloody men on Xizijiang River, send someone to stir up trouble for him and let him come and have a look when he has time." After a slight pause,
This old man, who was just wearing an ordinary yellow shirt and dressed as a scholar, glanced at Song Chengpeng and others and said softly.
"Big shopkeeper, do you want to help him?" Song Chengpeng heard the clear meaning and smiled bitterly.
The big shopkeeper of Heng Rongchang nodded: "Some people have character, and it is precisely because of the existence of these people that we can do business well and be reasonable."
…
Groups of bare-chested and barefooted black men with mud on their feet stood in knee-deep water and densely surrounded a huge silver-painted boat.
These rough men who usually ate hot peppers and exploded at the slightest drop, today all had their heads lowered. No matter how the people on the boat scolded them or even threw dirty vegetable peels at them, they never said a word.
He didn't move, he just stood there in silence.
Seeing the arrival of Lin Xi, Zhang Erye and others on the beach, these people washed their bodies with the river water and began to go ashore without saying a word and leave.
Lin Xi passed through the floating river rafts and boarded this giant silver boat.
