Nongmen Shenjue

To Mu Qingyan, working all day was exhausting physically and mentally, and it was nearly ten hours after he woke up.

The inn faces the street, and when you open the window, you can hear the hustle and bustle.

He punched a set of punches directly in the room, and let out his mental power by the way. Sure enough, he heard many people talking about the actions of the Yamen last night and the fire in Ge's house.Now there is no need to ask, the result will be clear.

He yelled out the door, and after a while, Xiao Er brought washing water.

"This guest, Catcher Mu came half an hour ago. Seeing that you haven't woken up, he didn't bother you. He left a message saying, don't rush out of the city, he will come back in half an hour. I guess he will be here soon."

"Understood, you bring breakfast."

Mu Qingyan was not in a hurry to leave, who would have thought that the wait would take an hour.

Mu Lin and Chen Shiliu came here together, riding fast horses, sweating profusely.

Mu Qingyan couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "Brother, have you been running outside?"

Before Mu Lin could speak, Chen Shiliu began to vomit bitterness: "Brother Mu, you don't know, these two days have been a torment to death. Yesterday, I ran all day during the day and went to squat at night. Who knows what happened again?" After catching fire and chasing and fleeing, I was busy until midnight, but fortunately, I caught someone. I thought the dust had finally settled, and I went back to sleep. The county magistrate was not in a hurry to try the case. No energy."

"An accident?" Mu Qingyan still felt strange.

Mu Lin said: "Yu Kun was caught, but one person was missed. After a series of events last night, after Yu Kun was caught, everyone was so excited that they forgot about the entourage beside him."

Chen Shiliu slapped the table angrily: "Damn Yu Kun, he himself was counted against, and he still held back and let that guy slip away."

Mu Qingyan couldn't help laughing: "So, the main culprit has been arrested, and the accomplice has escaped?"

Chen Shiliu muttered, "Who would have imagined that?"

Not to mention that the policemen didn't expect such a thing to happen, even Yu Kun, who thought he was ruthless and cautious, didn't expect it.

Mu Lin said again: "Second Brother, Catcher Cai would like to ask you for a favor."

The case that could have ended perfectly, but an unremarkable person escaped, making the entire yamen unhappy from top to bottom.

Mu Qingyan shook his head amusedly: "It's not that I don't help, but that I can't help. That person escaped the pursuit last night, can he stay in the city? I'm afraid he will leave the city as soon as the city gate is opened. Fenglin County is It is a transportation hub, it is too slow to go by land, and it is easy to leave traces. I guess he escaped by boat from the ferry. There are many boats going south and north at the ferry. Who knows which boat he took? Is it going south or north? It is to find out some clues, and I can't catch up now."

The important thing is that he was just an accomplice, and the Fenglin county government might not be willing to go all out to hunt him down. At most, he would issue arrest documents at sea to ask other states and counties for assistance.

Chen Shiliu smiled and said, "Captain Cai is trying to figure out what he wants. Don't worry about whether you can catch someone, just show an attitude, and he won't make you find him."

What Chen Shiliu hinted was obvious. Catcher Cai also knew that it would be difficult to catch anyone, but he hired Mu Qingyan, who had already shown his talents, for the sake of a job with the county magistrate. If he couldn't find anyone again, it wasn't theirs. slack.

When it came to this point, Mu Qingyan naturally no longer refused.

He was a little curious: "Yu Kun has been arrested, how did the followers escape?"

Mentioning this, Chen Shiliu gloated: "Haha, brother Mu, it's funny to talk about, and it's also quite satisfying."

It turned out that Yu Kun took advantage of the chaos and escaped from Ge's house last night, so he planned to find a secret place to hide.

Some small towns do not close their gates at night, but Fenglin County obeys morning and evening opening and closing. The main reason is that Fenglin County is a big city with a large population and mixed people from south to north. During the day and night, the city gates are all closed.

Yu Kun planned to wait until the city gate opened at Maoshi, and then sneak out of the city.

He knew very well that the city gate would definitely be strictly investigated, but he was certain.

Everything was well calculated, but he overestimated his physical strength.The yamen dispatched a large number of policemen to hunt them down. In the quiet night, he could clearly hear the policemen's pursuit getting closer, but he ran slower and slower.On the one hand, it was panic and physical loss, and on the other hand, it was his leg injury.

Although the injury is not serious, it is a dislocation, and the abrasion has just scabbed over. Whenever I exercise vigorously, I feel discomfort and pain, and I still feel that I can't exert my strength.As you run, your legs become more and more stiff, and your speed naturally becomes slower and slower.

He grabbed the arm of his entourage and almost put the weight of half of his body on it.

The attendant was also afraid and dragged him away, but as the pursuit approached, the attendant's eyes flickered coldly.

Yu Kun was also trying to change the status quo, but suddenly he was kicked hard on his leg, and just as he screamed, he kicked twice again, all of which landed on his injured leg.There was a crisp click, and his face was covered in cold sweat from pain, and he fell to the ground and howled miserably, this time it was really broken.

"You, Zhao Er!" Yu Kun squeezed out the name from his teeth, wishing he could eat someone.

Zhao Er was trembling, and directly pulled open his skirt, but instead of taking silver notes or pearls, he took out the small wooden box that Chukun had carried with him first: "Master, don't blame me. You are kind to me, I will naturally To repay you, I have done so many things for you, and I can always repay you. You killed two people, and the government will not let you go, but I didn't kill anyone, and I don't want to go to jail."

After finishing speaking, regardless of what Yu Kun did, he knocked him unconscious with a knife hand, grabbed the stack of bank notes and scattered them all over the sky, and then ran away without looking back.

From Zhao Er's point of view, he was at most an accomplice, he didn't kill him, and he didn't take the property of Ge's family. As long as he escaped from Fenglin County smoothly, would the police be able to find him everywhere?

Besides, he didn't tell Yu Kun his real name.

"First we saw countless banknotes, and then we found Yu Kun who was unconscious. Who knew he ran away and brought his followers with him. We thought he was unlucky to be robbed, and he was beaten during the dispute, and the banknotes were also scattered. One place. Take the person back to the county government prison and lock him up. The county magistrate said that the trial will be held tomorrow and let the government servants rest, so..."

"So you didn't know that one escaped until the court interrogation opened early in the morning?" Mu Qingyan asked again: "What did Zhao Er take from Yu Kun?"

"It's his original real identity document, and there are hundreds of taels of silver notes." Mu Lin said, "I guess what Zhao Er wants is silver notes. After all, he can't use Yu Kun's identity document."

"What is Zhao Er's background?"

"Zhao Er is from Yujia Village outside the city. He usually idles around and loves to gamble. His parents died long ago and he has no relatives. Later, he owed a debt to the gambling house and was almost beaten to death. Yu Kun happened to meet him and helped him pay off the debt. , and then he followed Yu Kun's side."

While talking, the three of them came to the place where Yu Kun was arrested last night.

Mu Qingyan went back in time and saw the scene where Zhao Er attacked Kun, and then Zhao Er ran northward.Zhao Er didn't stop all the way, he didn't stop until he ran near the north city gate, and then hid there until the city gate opened at Maoshi and saw people coming in and out, so he followed out of the city.

The arrest of Yu Kun made the Yamen slack, and Zhao Erqing left without knowing that there were still escapees.

Sure enough, as Mu Qingyan analyzed, Zhao Er went directly to the ferry and boarded a cargo ship heading north.

"Sure enough, he ran away." Mu Lin was still a little disappointed.

Chen Shiliu seemed to have no enthusiasm for chasing Zhao Er, and asked Mu Qingyan with a smile: "Brother Mu, are you going to do business today?"

"Let's go, I'll treat you." Knowing that Chen Shiliu wanted to have dinner, Mu Qingyan invited him directly.

"Thank you, Brother Mu." Chen Shiliu happily walked towards the shop.

There were a lot of people eating in the shop at the moment, and Mu Wen and Mu Wu were also busy preparing meals for the workers next door. Mu Qingyan said hello and called Mu Lin and Chen Shiliu into the room.

"Second brother?"

Mu Qingyan went back to the bedroom first, took 50 taels of cash, and handed it to Mu Lin: "This time it's 100 taels, I get fifty, and you three get the 50 taels."

Mu Lin was stunned: "Second brother..."

Chen Shiliu also said: "Brother Mu, it's different this time, the county magistrate invited you..."

"Isn't it your recommendation?" Mu Qingyan lightly stopped him with a sentence: "Since there are rules already, let's divide according to the rules."

The main reason is that this time it was indeed recommended by Chen Shiliu, and when investigating the case, the three of them followed him.If they didn't participate, he wouldn't think the money was too hot to hand over to them.

Chen Shiliu knew him more or less, so he no longer declined.

"I'll take ten taels, and the rest of Brother Mu and Brother He are 20 taels each." Before Mu Lin could say anything, he waved his hand: "Brother Mu, this is also the last time, and I won't go to the Yamen in the future. .”

"No, then you..." Thinking of his mysterious identity, Mu Lin couldn't help asking, "Are you going home?"

Unexpectedly, Chen Shiliu laughed, pretending to be mysterious: "You will find out in a few days."

Mu Qingyan always felt that Chen Shiliu was plotting against him.
