Da Song Private Investigator

A new rain made the people of Huainan City feel better.

While the people in Huainan City were in a good mood, a county named Qingming outside Huainan City suddenly became flustered. Huainan City Government Office.

That yamen servant was not the yamen of Huainan City. Hua Lang was a little surprised when he saw it. In this weather, something must have happened to come to the yamen so eagerly. Although Hua Lang didn't want to care about other things at this time, but There was still a little worry in my heart, but Mei was able to resist the temptation of curiosity in the end, and walked towards the government office.

After he entered the government office, a servant immediately led him into the living room, and at that time, Sima Guang was reprimanding a servant, and that servant was the same servant that Hualang saw when he was walking on the street today.

Seeing that it was Hua Lang, Sima Guang held back his anger and stood up, while Hua Lang smiled lightly and said, "Lord Sima, what happened?"

Sima Guang snorted coldly, pointed at the man kneeling on the ground and said, "He is a government servant in Qingming County. When it was raining heavily today, two prisoners in their prison escaped and killed a jailer. , is really hateful."

Hearing this, Hwarang couldn't help being surprised. Hwarang has been in the Song Dynasty for so many years, and he still knows the prison cells of the Song Dynasty very well. If those prisoners hadn't had strong martial arts and the guards were very careless, those prisoners would have never been able to They escaped, but the prisoners in Qingming County escaped, which is really surprising.

And seeing how Sima Guang reprimanded the yamen servant, it is not difficult to speculate that the jailer had an inescapable responsibility for the escape.

But now that things have happened, Hwarang felt that it was more important to find a way to solve the matter first, instead of reprimanding the servants here, so at this time, Hwarang asked, "What's going on?"

Sima Guang was very angry, and said: "It's raining heavily today, and there is only one guard left in the entire prison to watch over it. The other guards took advantage of the cool weather and fell asleep. As a result, one of the two prisoners The name turned out to be a thief, and his ability to pick locks was extremely high, so they opened the shackles and beat the jailer to death."

After hearing Sima Guang's words, Hua Lang frowned slightly and said, "What crime did those two prisoners commit?"

Sima Guang glared at the yamen servant who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "You tell me."

The yamen servant took orders repeatedly and replied: "The two prisoners, one of them is Li De, a citizen of our Qingming County. He had a dispute with others and killed the other party by mistake. The other is a thief named Lu Dan. Pirate art is very high, he was discovered when he was stealing things, and he killed the other party in a fit of anger, both of them are death row prisoners."

After the yamen servant finished speaking, Hua Lang already had an understanding, and said: "The prison escape happened when it was raining, so have the two fugitives left Qingming County?"

"After the prison break, our county magistrate Liu Qing ordered the gates to be closed tightly. We also asked the gate guards, and they all said that they had never seen it. I think they are still in Qingming County. Now we have started to look for it, but... ..."

"But what?" Sima Guang asked coldly.

"But our army strength in Qingming County is a bit weak, so apart from asking the young one to report this matter, Mr. Liu also wants to borrow troops. In this way, maybe we can catch those two fugitives earlier. must."

Regarding what happened in Qingming County, Sima Guang was very angry, but he was angry. Now that the two fugitives are outside, it is better to arrest them as soon as possible, otherwise if something happens to them outside, there will be some trouble. Not good.

So Sima Guang suppressed his anger and nodded: "Okay, the magistrate agreed to your Master Liu's request, but the fugitives must be arrested as soon as possible, and those who have neglected their duties, I will give them a chance. They are allowed to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds, but if they do not make meritorious service in arresting criminals, then don’t blame me for being rude.”

After hearing this, the yamen servant immediately relaxed, and said, "Thank you, my lord."

After the allocation, the yamen servant hurried back, and at this moment, Sima Guang looked at Hua Lang and smiled awkwardly: "I really didn't expect such a thing to happen in Qingming County."

Hua Lang nodded, but still comforted him: "This matter has nothing to do with Lord Sima. I think with the help of our Huainan Yamen servants, it shouldn't be a problem to catch those two fugitives."

Sima Guang smiled: "I hope so, but I didn't expect that Qingming County would not have enough troops."

"Master Sima has never tried to find out."

Sima Guang shook his head: "No, it seems necessary to ask someone to investigate."

When Hwarang left the government office, it was already late, but because it was summer, even if it was late, he could still see the road. People on the side of the street lit up the lights, and there were children crying. Chickens crow and dogs bark everywhere, and cats meow occasionally.

Everything is peaceful and peaceful, and at this time Hwarang is not worried about the affairs of Qingming County. The matter of Qingming County is just a prison escape case. Although prison escape cases rarely occurred in the Song Dynasty, even if they escaped , this is not a big deal, I believe it will be resolved sooner or later.

When they returned to the mansion, many people had already fallen asleep. Hwarang's bedroom was still lit. Hwarang pushed the door and entered. Wen Meng woke up from the bed. After seeing Hwarang, she looked very pale and asked: " Where did you go?"

Hwarang shrugged, and said a little embarrassedly: "I don't have anything to do, so I just walked around, but something happened in the government office halfway, so I went to have a look."

Wen Meng couldn't believe it, because they had just solved the case of one poem and one life, how could another case happen in the government office.

"whats the matter."

"A prison escape occurred in Qingming County outside Huainan City. Two prisoners killed a jailer and escaped. Sima Guang sent people to investigate."

Wen Meng looked at Hwarang, half-believing, and asked, "Those two prisoners were able to kill the jailer and escape, they are so powerful."

"It's just a coincidence."

Wen Meng thought for a while, then shook her head: "No, it can't be such a coincidence, the prisoner must have real ability to escape, what are the names of the two prisoners."

Hua Lang was quite helpless, so he had to say the names of the two prisoners. Wen Meng was startled after hearing this, and said, "What, there is a prisoner named Lu Dan."

This time, it was Hwarang's turn to be surprised, he nodded, and then asked, "Yes, why, you know that person."
