Chapter 70: Qin case


Zhou Jiarui was charged with bluffing, pretending to be an official, and offering a reward of 500 taels of silver to be arrested.
Seeing this, everyone was surprised and delighted. What was delighted was that Teacher Zhou had regained consciousness and had escaped away. It should be safe. What was shocked was that this guy caused such a mess. It seems that intellectuals are not fuel-efficient lamps. When it comes to the soil that suits them, it becomes more troublesome than anyone else.
   The four men led their horses into the city. The soldiers from the city guard did not even look at them. Although Omi City was also troubled by the Boxers, the overall atmosphere was much calmer than that of the capital. The shops were open as usual, and the streets were full of traffic as usual.
People are sleepy and lack of horses. First find a place to rest for a meal. The Yuejiang Building where you ate last time was good. The four of them came to the tavern and handed the horses to the servants to take care of them. They ordered good forage bean cakes to be served. Several masters went to the second floor and ordered Dishes, all the boats and carts were exhausted, and he hadn't eaten very seriously. Lei Meng took the menu and didn't look at it, so Xiao Er picked up all his good dishes.
They did not enter the private room. They sat around a table of Eight Immortals in the hall on the second floor, surrounded by diners. The boxing-guessing line made bragging and chatting, but also lively and cheerful. Suddenly Liu Yan moved his ears and he heard a table by the window. The guest was talking about Lin Huaiyuan, the prefect of Omi.
"Do you know that the Lin Huaiyuan case is a Qin case that the Queen Dowager Galeries Lafayette personally intervened, and it was reported here, and the next day the Lafayette approved the decree. The decree sent in an urgent six hundred li was picked up by Lin Huaiyuan on the spot. , To revoke his fame and seek rebellion, this is a serious crime that is full of crimes."
   The person who said this was a thin, cocky man with a melon fur hat and satin jacket, holding a folding fan in his hand, suddenly closed, suddenly opened, mouth foaming, and the others who listened were stunned.
   "Then Lin Huaiyuan is going to copy all over the house?" the fat man sitting next to him asked.
"That's not it. The Lin family is over, and even the Nine Clan is unlucky. But now is the 20th century. Civilized society, our Qing Dynasty will also be in line with the international standards. If you don't want to link the Nine Clan, the Lin family has no people. There are only two people in the house. My concubine, a daughter, are all locked in the prison of the governor’s office, waiting to be sent to Ningguta and the armored man as slaves."
Fatty's eyes lit up: "I heard that the daughter of the Lin Zhifu is a beautiful woman. If you distribute Ning Guta to those who eat food and serve as a soldier, it is better to sell it to Yihongyuan as a kiln sister. We brothers can collect silver and taste. The taste of a prefect daughter."
   Several people laughed lustfully, as if they had eaten a fishy wild cat.
   Thinzi continued, "Do you know what heinous crime Lin Huaiyuan committed?"
   The fat man said: "I heard that the imperial court harboured a prisoner in the mansion, or the prisoner who ran away during the Reform Movement of 1898."
The thin man said: "That's an outside rumor. My third brother's brother-in-law is the governor's tortured master. The case he handled, the criminals harbored by Lin Huaiyuan were from the palace, with the clothes of Lord Guangxu... "
   At this point, his voice was suppressed even lower, but Liu Yan still heard it so hard.
"The person who is not Qi is Guangxu himself, you think, the emperor ran away, and something went wrong outside, the empress dowager Lafayette could not be anxious, Lin Huaiyuan hid the emperor and kept his mouth tight. He wanted to be the head of the state, and he suffered a loss. The leader of the prefect’s Yamen Zhang has an eye-catching price. At the critical moment, he will kill his relatives righteously and secretly report to the governor. Without saying that three hundred taels of white money is available, the governor takes a different look. The future is unlimited."
   Liu Yan was furious when he heard that, Lei Meng saw that his expression was different, and touched his leg under the table: "What's wrong?"
   "Lin Huaiyuan was dismissed and imprisoned, we killed him." Liu Yanzhi recounted what he had just heard.
   "It's what he wants to believe, what does it have to do with us." Zhang Wenbo said, "Don't you want to be troublesome again, go to jail and save people, I first declare that I will not participate."
   "I won't participate either." Guo Yuhang also said, "When I came here, the professor of the Party explained that we should not interfere in history. We have already caused a lot of trouble, so don't make trouble. The most important thing is to go back safely."
   Liu Yanzhi didn't argue with them. They had no obligation to accompany him on adventures. He didn't feel much about Lin Huaiyuan, the prefect of the Qing Dynasty more than 100 years ago. He just couldn't bear to think of Miss Lin's pitiful appearance.
   "I will stay, you will go back as planned." Liu Yan said bluntly.
   "Let's find Teacher Zhou together, I can't find anything else." Lei Meng took out the style of the team leader and made a final decision.
After a quarter of an hour, the four of them were full of food and drink, and asked Xiao Er to check out. This sumptuous meal only cost a couple of dollars. After coming out of Yuejiang Tower, looking for a hotel to stay, the Gaosheng Inn that stayed last time could not go. I also found a hotel in the south gate to stay.
At three shifts, Liu Yan changed his night clothes and went straight to the governor’s office. The provincial capital was silent late at night, only the sound of the watchman knocking on the clapper floated far away, and a dark shadow rushed onto the governor’s office wall and landed gently. , There is a dark building in front of me, but for those who have passed through the Forbidden City at night, this is the pediatrics department.
The pattern of the Yamen is similar. The prison is located far west in front of the Yamen. Liu Yan knows that he has found the right place when he sees the prison temple. The opposite is the cell. The door of Hessian is closed. It is estimated that Lin Huaiyuan and his family are locked inside.
There is a huge brass lock hanging on the door. Liu Yanzhi has been trained in unlocking. The safe can be opened. What's more, he can easily open the brass lock and push the door to enter. The cell is empty. Both rows of prisons are empty. There is no prisoner, and there is no body odor in the air that people don’t bathe all the year round, indicating that there will be no officials here.
After this trip was empty, Liu Yan thought for a while, and decided to go to the government office again.  When he came to the government office wall, he heard the noise of people. Several drunk men staggered to observe, and the enemy’s road was narrow. One of them was exactly Zhang Bantou.
   Team leader Zhang was wearing casual clothes, and he was proud of being drunk. The few next to him were the servants of the soap team. They patted their horses all the way and helped the team leader in.
The office of the Yamen office is divided into three classes and six rooms. Zhang Bantou is the head of Zaoban and has his own separate room. He enters the house and plugs in the door, and falls asleep. After sleeping for a while, he felt thirsty and went to the table and picked up the teapot. , Was about to pour into his mouth when he saw a dark figure sitting opposite, scared him out of his body.
   "Come..." Before he shouted, Zhang Bantou's throat was pinched, and a cold dagger was placed on his neck.
   "Don't make a sound if you are dying."
   Team leader Zhang nodded desperately, and the alcohol was gone. He couldn't guess what thief was so bold to commit crimes in the government. Could it be that he came to seek revenge? I don’t have a terrible enemy, could it be...
   "The hero is forgiving, there are a hundred taels of silver in the cabinet, and the penny has not moved, just take it." Zhang Bantou said in the smallest voice.
   Liu Yan was straightforward and disgusted. This person was extremely cunning. He clearly won three hundred taels of silver, and even concealed two hundred taels when he died. It is reasonable to be able to betray his master.
   "I ask you, where are Lin Huaiyuan's family locked up?" Liu Yan asked directly.
   "Tiantai Yamen." Zhang Bantou replied without hesitation, he guessed right, the opponent is not a thief, but an anti-thief! Is here to avenge Lin Huaiyuan.
   "Jiantai?" Liu Yanzhi repeated, he didn't understand what organization it was.
   "It is to mention punishment and press the prosecutor." Zhang Bantou explained, "It's under the supervision of the governor's office, and all the people who settle the case are under the control of the court. Lin Zhifu and his family are locked there. If you want to go, I can lead the way."
   "Where is our club?" Liu Yanzhi continued to ask.
   "I don't know, when the governor's office came to pick up the people, the surname Zhou disappeared, and even ran away with the maid Xiaocui."
   "Why are you betraying Lin Zhifu?"
   Class Zhang couldn’t answer this question. Even if he had a variety of reasons, he couldn’t stand Lin Huaiyuan’s kindness to him, and there would be no way for the seller to ask for glory.
   "You wolf-hearted thing." Liu Yan slashed a straight dagger and cut the aorta of Zhang Ban's neck.
   Zhang Ban’s head was covered with his neck, and the blood arrow rushed outwards, because the trachea was also cut, the sound was released, he stumbled a few steps, fell to the ground and died, his eyes still wide open.
Liu Yanzhi opened the cabinet and found two large silver ingots of fifty-two taels from the inside. They placed them in front of Zhang Bantou. He took a brush from the table and dipped in blood. Only then did he write eight characters on the whitewashed wall: The seller is asking for glory, and the death is not enough. Pity.
After doing this, he calmly left and went straight to the Yamen of Jiantai. Jian Si was near the governor’s Yamen. The high-walled and deep courtyard was heavily guarded. In the middle of the night, there were two soldiers with swords standing at the door, with lanterns at the door. On the lampshade, it was written in Song typeface with "Teaching Punishment and Pressing Chasi."
Liu Yanzhi still climbed over the wall and entered. As soon as he landed on the ground, a black dog rushed over. The biting dog didn't like to bark. He opened his big mouth and showed his white fangs and greeted Liu Yanzhi on his thigh. Oncoming, the black dog was kicked and flew out, his ribs were broken, and he swallowed in the air.

   After a lot of setbacks, Liu Yanzhi found the location of the cell. The place where the people are locked is different from that of the official office. There are iron bars on the windows, and there are no padlocks on the outside. They are plugged in from the inside, and there is a faint light from the cracks in the door.
   Liu Yan observed no one, went forward and pulled out the dagger, inserted the door crack to open the latch, took out the oil bottle that had been prepared, and brushed the door shaft with a feather dipped in soybean oil, and then gently opened the door.
   The two jailers were eating wine in the side room. On the table of the Eight Immortals, there were pig head meat, peanuts, and a pot of good wine.
   "Banto Zhang is a conscientious man, and he knows that to give our buddy some wine and food, it is not in vain that Lin Huaiyuan's anti-thief cultivated him."
   "If he wants to be really interested, he shouldn't sell Lin Zhifu. Fortunately, he can say it well. I am embarrassed to let us take care of Lin Zhifu's family. Oh, why don't you have three hundred taels of silver for our brothers?"
   "I heard that he took two hundred taels of silver for a little bit of money, and wanted to buy Lin Zhifu's home school. 80% of them are concubines."
   The two jailers spit wildly, completely unaware of someone coming.
   Liu Yanzhi didn't talk nonsense. He stepped forward and knocked the two heads together. With a bang, the two guys collapsed to the ground and suffered a severe concussion. It is estimated that they will sleep till dawn.
   There were official knives and keys hanging on the wall, and dozens of five-inch-long iron keys were worn on the huge iron ring. Liu Yan took all of them straight away and walked into the dark cell laneway with the oil lamp.
