A knife in love

Chapter 1488

Although Li Zhisheng regards Mr. Pan as his confidant and is not close to Mr. Jiang, he also knows that Mr. Pan is really good at making money, but when it comes to handling matters such as money, grain and punishment, he still has to rely on Mr. Jiang.Therefore, although Mr. Jiang never participated in his and Mr. Pan's dirty affairs of taking bribes, Li Zhisheng never planned to expel Mr. Jiang from the yamen.In the past few days, he and Master Pan were captured by the Fusang people, and they always hoped that Master Jiang would help. Seeing Master Jiang appear at this moment, he was really ecstatic.It's just that Master Pan reminded him in a low voice, but it made Li Zhisheng fearful, fearing that Master Jiang in front of him was also someone pretended to be by Japanese pirates.It wasn't until he heard Mr. Jiang's question and carefully looked at the appearance and attire of the person in front of him that he was indeed the same as Mr. Jiang who was busy in the yamen on weekdays. He felt a little relieved and said, "Where are you from?"

Master Jiang looked suspicious, and said in a trembling voice: "The villain came from Motianling. But the adult was clearly on Motianling just now, and he also ordered the villain to come to Wangjiazhuang to urge Steward Wang to send the food and bedding to Motianling as soon as possible. superior……"

Master Jiang looked at Li Zhisheng again when he said this, and then said: "The villain was worried that he would miss the important task of building the temple, so he hurried over here. He didn't rest for a moment on the way, and he didn't see the adult chasing him. .But the adults came here before the villains, how is this possible?"

Master Jiang looked at Li Zhisheng while talking, as if he wanted to see some clues from his face.Before Li Zhisheng could speak, Master Pan sneered and said, "Lao Jiang, you have always praised yourself as Zhuge Liang, and the people in Dongliao City also praised you as the reincarnation of Liu Bowen. Since you are so smart, how could you not see Motianling?" Someone pretended to be Mr. Li?!"

Seeing Master Pan's smirk, Master Jiang shook his head and said, "Master Pan, what do you mean by that?"

Master Pan was about to speak, but he heard Xiao Dong say: "The situation is critical now, so there is no need to go around. Master Li, just tell the truth."

Li Zhisheng knew that Master Pan had always been at odds with Master Jiang, and he often spoke ill of Master Jiang in front of him behind his back.However, Li Zhisheng knew that although Master Pan was cunning, he was far less shrewd and capable than Master Jiang, so he just laughed at Master Pan's slander, and didn't take it to heart.Just now seeing that Master Pan was still slandering Master Jiang, Li Zhisheng was quite dissatisfied in his heart.Hearing what Xiao Dong said at this time, he gave Master Pan a hard look, then turned his head and said to Master Jiang: "Old Jiang, Japanese pirates have infiltrated Dongliao County and want to rebel. They sent people to pretend to be the official and Master Pan, Zhuang Ding and all the men from the county seat in Dongliao County were ordered to go to Motian Ridge under the pretext of building the Temple of Zhongkui. In fact, they wanted to build a city on the top of Motian Ridge to deal with the officers and soldiers who came to Dongliao County to suppress the rebellion. They secretly captured me and Pan Shiye, locked them in the dungeon, and sent people to pretend to be me and Pan Shiye to do evil everywhere in and outside the city."

When Li Zhisheng said this, he paused for a while, and then said: "Lao Jiang, where have you been these two days? Didn't you see that the Yamen has been controlled by Japanese pirates?"

Seeing Master Jiang and He Tuotou suddenly appearing, Li Qiufeng was also surprised.That day, he and Ma Zhuangzhu were taken into the Yamen by Jiang Shiye and He Butou, and then sent to the dungeon by four policemen.These four arrests must be counterfeit Fusang people, but with Mr. Jiang's shrewdness, how could he not see that there are Fusang people hiding in the yamen?Listening to Li Zhisheng's questioning at this moment, Li Qiufeng stared closely at Master Jiang, wanting to see if he had something to hide.

At this time, Master Jiang had calmed down a little, and he cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I received a secret report from Wang Bu, the owner of Wangjiazhuang the day before yesterday, saying that Fusang people sneaked into Dongliao County and hid in Majiazhuang. My little one I know this matter is important, but I don't know if it's true or not, I heard that the witness is in Wangjiazhuang, so the villain followed Wang Bu to Wangjiazhuang to see if it's true..."

When Mr. Jiang said this, Mr. Pan snorted, and said in his mouth: "Old Jiang, this is your fault. How dare you come to Wangjiazhuang on your own initiative without reporting such a big matter to Mr. Li?!"

Li Zhisheng was quite unhappy when he heard what Master Jiang said, thinking to himself that what Lao Pan said was right, why didn't Lao Jiang report such a big matter to Lao Tzu?So he glanced at Master Jiang, his eyes full of reproach.

Mr. Jiang hurriedly bowed and said: "Master Li, this villain has absolutely no intention of overstepping his authority. It's just that this matter is too strange, and this villain is afraid that there may be fraud in it. If someone is playing tricks and trying to lure Mr. Li into a trap, the villain will not Wouldn’t it be a great crime to report this matter to Mr. Li indiscriminately? Mr. Li has always loved the people like a son, and always handled everything personally. If he heard that Japanese pirates had sneaked into Dongliao County, he would definitely go to Wangjiazhuang. The villain goes first Going here to investigate is to find the way for Mr. Li. In addition, when Wang Bu discussed with the villain, he also reminded the villain that although the two witnesses are convincing, there are still many suspicious points. If they have other conspiracy What happened to Mr. Li, he absolutely cannot bear such a serious crime. Therefore, Wang Bu begged the villain again and again, asking the villain and him to ask witnesses in Wangjiazhuang first, and then report to Mr. Li after he had a clear mind This matter."

After listening to Master Jiang's words, Li Qiufeng couldn't help being overwhelmed. He thought to himself that Master Jiang was worthy of being an old official in the yamen. With a few words, he not only praised Li Zhisheng, but also pushed the responsibility for this matter to Wang. On the owner of the villa, seeing Li Zhisheng's exuberant appearance, he thought he would not make things difficult for him again.

Sure enough, Master Jiang's voice fell away, only to hear Li Zhisheng laugh, and said: "Old Jiang, you are still very thorough. Where are the two witnesses now?"

Mr. Jiang said respectfully: "Thank you for your compliments, my lord. The villain is very grateful. After the villain came here with Wang Bu the day before yesterday, he really found many suspicious things. The villain, Wang Bu, and this Mr. Zhu After discussing for a while, I thought that the Japanese pirates might be hiding among the peasants who built the Zhongkui Temple on Motianling. Therefore, the villain, Wang Bu, Zhu Gongzi and others rushed to Motianling to find out. Unexpectedly, we arrived After climbing the mountain, they fell into the trap of the Japanese pirates. Mr. Zhu and others fell into the trap, and the villain and others fought to the death to break out of the siege and fled down Motianling. However, Wang Bu was slashed by the Japanese pirates and was seriously injured. The villain and others I fled back to Zhuangzi, and was about to call up people to fight the Japanese pirates on Motianling. Mr. Zhu and others also fled back. When we went to Motianling to look for the Japanese pirates again, they had fled without a trace. Xiao In desperation, he had to go back to Wangjiazhuang, wanting to discuss with Wang Bu and others how to deal with the matter. At that time, the owner of Majiazhuang also came to Wangjiazhuang, and wanted to discuss with Wang Bu and the two villages in Majiazhuang. Ding’s disappearance. It’s just that when we were discussing things in Zhuangzi, Wang Buzhi’s queen, Xiaoyu, clashed with Zhuang Ding of Majiazhuang. In the hands of the little fish..."
