Yamen arrest

"Where is the village head of Youluo Village?" The two yamen servants shouted at the people working in the fields as soon as they entered the village.

It is reasonable for the yamen servant to handle the case and be accompanied by the local village head.

"Just go forward." The laboring man replied with a long voice: "I saw that the big house on the second floor belongs to the village head."

It is rare for a farmer to build a two-story house, which requires extremely high-quality wood to support the quality of the two-story building. For farmers, their own yard is large enough, and the price of repairing two floors is not as good as building a few more cost-effective.

"Okay!" The yamen servant responded generously, and walked towards the village chief's house with his companions.

It was the two yamen servants who came last time. They didn't really know the address of the village chief's house. They just wanted to ask if the village chief was there. After all, someone reported the case to the town. As the village chief, it is very likely that he didn't know. Small.

"The two adults are here, please come in and sit down." Seeing the two yamen servants barely suppressing the gloom on their faces, the village head invited them to his house with a smile on his face.

"Village Chief, you are welcome." It was the yamen servant surnamed Xu who spoke: "I have received a report from your villager, and I am here to ask about the situation. Does the village chief know which family is the sufferer?"

"I know it." The village head and the two yamen servants secretly gritted their teeth in a business-like manner: "I'll take the two of you there. Speaking of which, you also know the suffering master."

"Oh? The village chief is so kind to talk about it." The servant surnamed Xu and his companion looked at each other.The two of them had not been assigned to Youluo Village for a long time, and they didn't have much contact with the villagers.

The village head coughed lightly, and the sky was still upright and fair: "This matter has to be talked about a few days ago..."

When the workers told Ye Yuanxian that the yamen servants had arrived, the yamen servants had arrived in the field early, the sun was rising high, and the yamen servants were still wearing thick clothes, sweating abruptly.

"Hey, look," Xu patted his companion on the shoulder and pointed to Liu Tiezhu, who was already slumped but still unable to kneel on the ground, and was very surprised: "Could it be that he is really bewitched? But whose ghosts and gods can be so clever?"

Ignoring Liu Tiezhu's cry for help, who was about to pass out, the two seemed to be watching the fun.

The yamen servant surnamed Zhang moved his eyes slightly, he seldom spoke, but now he opened his mouth lightly: "The magician's method is not about ghosts and gods, but it is not comparable to you and me."

The yamen servant named Xu restrained his expression a little after hearing the words: "Are you serious?"

The yamen servant surnamed Zhang nodded coldly.

Warlocks are not considered taboo in Tianyou Kingdom, on the contrary, their status is very high.There are many gods and ghosts in the ancient rumors of Tianyou Kingdom. It is rumored that the mount that the founding emperor of Tianyou Kingdom rode was a heavenly horse with a pair of wings.

Among the generals under him, two were heavenly generals who came down to assist him. This rumor is still believed by members of the royal family.

Nowadays, although people in the world have hardly seen gods and ghosts, they have seen many capable warlocks. They travel everywhere, and most of them are able to rescue them when they encounter injustice. Therefore, the two words warlock have different meanings when they are uttered. up.

"Could it be Ye Yuanxian?" The thought flashed across the minds of the two of them at the same time.

Just as he was talking, the crowd of onlookers scattered around, and it was Ye Yuanxian and the idiot who came to suffer.

The yamen servants looked at Ye Yuanxian, who had a handsome figure and a great bearing, and felt that his bearing had increased several times compared to the last time they met, and at first glance, he was really like that fairy.

Ye Yuanxian saluted the two of them politely: "Good day, my lords, I will trouble you to make a trip."

The yamen servant surnamed Xu smiled heartily: "Brother Ye, don't be polite, I can't blame you for this. We are also going to see the situation where the incident happened, and we have to make this trip anyway."

After exchanging pleasantries, the yamen servant also recovered his serious expression and began to sort out the case.As for what the village chief said, they are not ordinary yamen servants who don't know anything, and they will never do things that are partial to one's belief.

The villagers talked about what happened. Although they deliberately favored their own villagers, the facts are beyond reproach. What's more, what Liu Tiezhu did made them feel chilled. If he was protected this time, What if he uses the same method to harm himself next time?

The faces of the two yamen servants became more serious as they listened. The village chief didn't say that Qing Miao had anything to do with Liu Tiezhu, only that he stole at night and ended up in trouble.And the person who came to report the case only said that the owner's family was persecuted by thieves, so he reported the case.

"That is to say, Liu Tiezhu was accused of being here because he came to pull up other people's young crops in the middle of the night?" Xu asked the yamen servant, "Why do you want to hide the reason, village chief?"

The village chief's expression remained unchanged: "Whether Qing Miao was pulled by Liu Tiezhu is still uncertain, so I didn't explain the reason, I'm afraid that speaking out will affect the two adults' decision."

This statement is indeed reasonable at first glance, but it is completely untenable when you think about it.

Afraid of affecting the judgment of the case, he didn't say the reasons in the case. A normal person would not hide anything at this time.

The officer surnamed Xu looked dignified: "Since the village head is so thoughtful, he doesn't have to follow us anymore, so as not to affect our decision."

After finishing speaking, I will step into the field separately with Zhang Yafu to look for clues.

Speaking of it, the clues are not difficult to find. The humidity in the valley has been kept very good. If you step on it, it will not collapse but will leave a shallow mark. The government officials can judge the case by distinguishing the footprints to see if they are the same as Liu Tiezhu.

The part of the field near the ridge has been trampled into hard lumps by everyone, and the footprints are all in a mess, and nothing can be seen.

Seeing the people on the side rushing to the ground curiously, the yamen servants suddenly shook the big knives pinned to their waists, and sternly reprimanded: "The government investigates the case and backs me far away, otherwise you will be sentenced to a serious crime."

Everyone backed away quickly, they were a little bolder because they saw that the two yamen servants were easy to talk, who knew that those who could be yamen servants were not good people, and the dark-faced ones were afraid when they looked at them.

Everyone retreated far away, and even the village head was afraid of the knife on the waist of the yamen servant and retreated a few steps, leaving only Ye Yuanxian and the idiot standing still on the ridge.

Liu Tiezhu was not light in stature. After searching around for a few times, the two yamen servants found dozens of identical footprints interspersed among the withered young crops. It can be concluded that these young crops were stepped on by the owners of these footprints.

The only thing that needs to be determined now is whether the owner of this footprint is the arrested Liu Tiezhu.

The servant surnamed Xu looked at his companion, saw that he nodded indistinctly, and asked Ye Yuanxian with a smile on his face: "Brother Ye, we have found the evidence, and we will compare it with this person next time. Please, please." Unravel the technique so that we can compare it in detail."

Ye Yuanxian raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect to hear the word "shufa" from these two yamen servants.Although surprised, Ye Yuanxian didn't show his expression, he was only thinking about how to answer.

On the other hand, the yamen servant Zhang surnamed saw his silence and made a sound. His voice was low and he didn't speak often: "Brother Ye, don't worry too much. My lord always treats warlocks with courtesy, so there won't be any trouble."

"Yes, yes, yes!" The yamen servant surnamed Xu nodded repeatedly: "Besides, you are the one who suffers in this case, so you may as well speak up if you have any thoughts."

From their words, Ye Yuanxian could hear the different reverence for "warlocks", just like hearing the names of those well-known heroes in novels.

This feeling is quite novel, and at the same time, Ye Yuanxian probably understands that the status of warlocks in this time and space must not be low, at least much better than in the ancient history before he traveled.

However, whether this "warlock" is the "monk" he thought of, still needs to be carefully understood.

Ye Yuanxian lowered his head and narrowed his eyes, and smiled apologetically at the two yamen servants: "It's not that I concealed it on purpose, it's just that the beautiful scenery of this place suits me...that's all, please, my lords."

As he spoke, he raised his hands and made an extremely complicated gesture.

The two yamen servants didn't understand what he said. It's probably because the sorcerer fell in love with Youluo Village, a good place, so he pretended to be an ordinary person and lived in seclusion here, but he was framed maliciously and had to take it out. people control.

Xu Ya servant immediately lamented in his heart: What kind of trouble is this!

After finishing a set of extremely complicated hand fights, Liu Tiezhu, who was extremely tired but unable to rest and had to stand in a strange posture, collapsed to the ground as if he had lost his support, and broke several young seedlings in one fell swoop.

Xu Yamen immediately took two steps forward and cut Liu Tiezhu's hands limp on the ground backwards, and pulled a rope from his feet three or two times to tie his hands and feet.

In just a few breaths, Liu Tiezhu was tied up face down, with his hands and feet tied behind his head and his limbs facing the sky. He didn't even have time to say a word of begging for mercy.

Yamen Zhang pulled off his shoes with one hand and compared them to the footprints he found earlier, the size was just right.Looking at the imprint on the sole, the horizontal and vertical stitches fit perfectly with the imprint.

From this, it can be concluded that Liu Tiezhu is undoubtedly the one who ruined these well-growing young crops.

After reaching the conclusion, the servant Xu yelled loudly: "Bold Liu Tiezhu, you ruined young people in the middle of the night, and now the evidence is convincing, do you believe it or not?"

Liu Tiezhu was startled by the yelling, and his drowsy thoughts became a little clearer after the yelling, and he immediately yelled "You are wronged, my lord, I don't know why I am here. The villain really doesn't know anything."

The people around shook their heads and thought it was funny, even a three-year-old kid wouldn't believe this, but Liu Tiezhu dared to say it out to deceive the yamen servant.

Sure enough, when the two yamen servants heard his words, they widened their eyes and kicked his ass: "Who are you coaxing here? Come with me to the yamen, and I have to lock you up for a few days."

Liu Tiezhu's body was already weak, but after being kicked into the mud so suddenly, he fainted and couldn't even speak a complete sentence.

Seeing that his family's useless relatives were about to be taken away by two yamen servants, the senior old man had no choice but to stand up and intercede: "My lord, it's Liu Tiezhu's fault for this. For a lame and blind old man who needs to be supported, spare his life for the time being."

"Give him a life?" Xu Yamen reprimanded: "Do you know how difficult it is for the young seedlings to grow so big? The corn seedlings grown in dozens of villages in Lekang County are not as good as the ones in this field. Pull out, destroy the seedlings of seven or eight parts of the land, at least four or five hundred catties of grain, who will pay for this money?"

"Not to mention that these batches of grain are directly named in the county. The county magistrate will ask him from time to time. Now it's good. How do you want us to explain to the county magistrate?"

It was only then that everyone realized that they had forgotten an extremely important point, that is, these young crops were not ordinary crops in the first place, but corn seedlings that the majesty issued an imperial decree and the county magistrate sent the yamen servants to personally send them over for trial planting.

Ruining these seedlings not only ruined the Xie family's busy farming in the past month and their harvest in the first half of the year, but also ruined the future of their entire Youluo Village.

Thinking about the other villages handing in enough seeds after the corn was ripe, they were the only ones in Youluo Village who were scolded by the county magistrate for their delay in completing the task, and maybe they would be punished.

Everyone in Youluo Village changed their faces. This is a major event concerning their entire village. The sin of Liu Tiezhu must not be allowed to harm the entire village.

Thinking of this, even the old man who pleaded at the beginning had nothing to say, what if he pleaded for Liu Tiezhu and harmed the villagers?He himself has children and grandchildren, no matter how close Liu Tiezhu is, he is not from his blood, so how can he compare with his own?

Everyone was silent for a while, and the two yamen servants dragged Liu Tiezhu to the ridge of the field, and then politely said to Ye Yuanxian: "Brother Ye, the case has been settled, please come to the town with us to sign the pledge .”

"Thank you both." Ye Yuanxian cupped his hands, the idiot was ignorant, he had to go this trip, and others couldn't replace him.

"By the way," Xu Yaguan looked at the green and sturdy corn seedlings in the distance, and then at the completely dried green seedlings under his feet, his expression of pity was undisguised.

"You planted this bag of grain very well. It seems that there will be a big harvest before the end of summer. Then you have to set aside a batch of seeds to give to the county, and don't sell them to others at will."

"I see." Ye Yuanxian nodded.

The yamen servant surnamed Zhang hesitated to speak, but seeing Ye Yuanxian's steady look, he finally opened his mouth: "If you have heavy seedlings in your field, you can try to separate one and transplant it here. You can't let the land go to waste." go."

Heavy seedlings refer to the seedlings in which two seeds are planted at a time for safety reasons during cultivation, and both seeds germinate and grow up.

Generally, when the green seedlings grow to half a foot high, the farmers will leave the larger seedlings and pull out the smaller seedlings to prevent them from absorbing the nutrients of the larger seedlings.

In this way, it is no longer possible to increase the yield, and the fertility of the field is not excessively wasted.

It's just that the corn seedlings in Xie's field are already knee-deep, and even if there are heavy seedlings, they have been dealt with early. How can they plant in such a large open space?

Yamen Zhang also felt that his proposal was inappropriate after speaking, he was just a pity.In his heart, he still hoped that Ye Yuanxian, a "warlock", would have some means to save these young crops. After all, the war has just ended, and many people are still hungry.

"That's all." Zhang Yamen smiled at Ye Yuanxian: "The seedlings have grown so big, and there are not many heavy seedlings. I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Yuanxian showed a relieved look: "To tell you the truth, it's also the first time for me to plant corn, so I purposely planted two-field seedlings in the yard for fear of accidents, and now they are only about one foot tall. , it’s time to plant. Although the quantity is not enough, if you can make up for some losses, you will be able to make up for some losses, and you should try your best.”

Zhang Yamen's eyes lit up: "Okay, brother Ye is doing a great job. When I get back to the Yamen, I will report to the county master and ask him to reward you."

When everyone heard Zhang Yamen's words, they couldn't help feeling envious. It would be a great benefit to be rewarded by the county magistrate.

The only person present was the village head, who looked unhappy, looking at Liu Tiezhu who was about to pass out.

The matter has been dealt with, Xu and Zhang, two yamen servants, led Liu Tiezhu to leave the village, and the village chief, who had been watching Liu Tiezhu nervously, calmed down slightly.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw Ye Yuanxian staring at him not far away with a half-smile.

The village chief had a bad premonition in his heart, and before he could say anything, he saw Ye Yuanxian's fingertips move lightly, and the wilted Liu Tiezhu suddenly struggled as if stimulated, and shouted: "Let go of me, I'll let you go!" Don't go to the yamen."

"The village chief, save me, the village chief, save me. I came here to pull out the young seedlings of the monster family after listening to your words. You can't leave me alone, village chief."

Liu Tiezhu's wailing and crying resounded throughout the village. Everyone was frightened by his words and asked one after another: How could the village head order him?Could Liu Tiezhu be crazy?At this time, is he still thinking of planting the blame on the village chief?

And the village chief's face was already darkened at this time, and his face was full of anger: "Liu Tiezhu, what are you talking about? Are you confused? Do you ignore your father?"

Liu Tiezhu was stunned when he heard the words, and then he said like a broken pot: "The village chief is clearly the one who said yesterday that you want me to pull out the young crops, and also said that as long as you pull out the young crops, you will give me five hundred coins. You can't say no Make a deal!"

Seeing that the matter was over, the two yamen servants suddenly made such an incident, and the village chief deliberately concealed it when they first entered the village. They always felt that there was something strange about it.

After thinking about it, Xu Ya servant grinned at the village head: "I'm afraid this thief is crazy because he wants to get rid of the crime, but according to the rules of the county, I still ask the village head to come with us. When we find out what happened Just let the village chief come back."

Although the tone was amiable, the overt and implicit meaning could not be refuted.

Liu Tiezhu was still babbling about: the village head instructed him and so on, the people around were talking about it, and the eyes looking at the village head were full of inquiry.

Some people simply turned around and left instead of lying in this muddy water.Some continued to stand there watching the excitement.

Seeing the resolute attitude of the two yamen servants, the village head looked quite normal and said: "I should make this trip because of the situation and reason, and please wait a moment for the two yamen servants, and I will change into clean clothes."
