The straight man who wears bright clothes is also afraid of messing with him

At the end of February in Hongwu 18, Cui Miao met Xu Wen, the former scribe of Wanping County, in the prison, and learned the secrets of Wanping County from him, and planned to verify it in the middle of the night.

Cui Miao stretched her waist, yawned, and said vaguely: "Aha, damn it, I'm so sleepy, why are you so energetic? Do you have any secrets to share with us?"

"Your kid must have done nothing good during the day, so you can't stand it at night. Did you go to the kiln again to find girls?" Because it was night, although there was moonlight, the place where Cui Miao was standing happened to be backlit, and what he said It was vague, and the person on duty at the door didn't recognize it.

"Aha, I have the strength to use it on women, but I can use it on you?"

"If you fucking think so, I'll castrate you with a knife!"

Seeing that Cui Miao was getting closer and closer, and there were only two steps between them, Cui Miao, who was originally lazy, suddenly became violent, and directly wiped the necks of the two opposite people with the steel knife in his hand.Under the moonlight, the two of them stared wide-eyed, with blood gushing from their mouths, and they couldn't say what they wanted to say.The corpse fell to the ground, Cui Miao and Xue Lu hurriedly dragged them back, leaning them against the wall, Cui Miao repeated the old trick, unlocked the door with a copper wire, and dragged the two corpses in again.

Close the door, go straight to the secret door, touch the mechanism, the secret door opens, and the two of them walk in.Cui Miao ignited the torch in his hand, took a torch from the side wall and lit it, and the surroundings instantly lit up. As Xu Wen said, a long passage appeared in front of him.

"Now it seems that what Xu Wen said is true. It takes half an hour to reach the cave from this passage. Once dawn and they change shifts and realize something is wrong, they will definitely destroy the corpse. Brother Xue, you go and inform the commander, and leave it to me here." That's fine."

"But my lord asked me to keep you safe, I can't leave you alone."

"I arrive at the cave from here, and then go out from the cave. I don't know anyone, and there is no danger. But you, there are many guards in the county government. Brother Xue must be careful. So much food, how many people can be saved, we can't let Those people have the possibility of destroying the corpse."

Xue Lu thought for a while, and said worriedly: "Okay, after I notify the commander, I will go to the back mountain to find you immediately. You must pay attention to safety."

Cui Miao responded again and again, and Xue Lu didn't delay when he saw this, he turned around and walked out of the secret door.Holding the torch, Cui Miao continued to walk forward. After walking for about half an hour, the passage in front gradually widened. At the same time, a musty smell came over her face, making Cui Miao frown.

After walking another hundred meters, Cui Miao keenly heard a slight voice coming from the front. He couldn't help but lighten his steps, put out the torch, and groped forward in the dark.The closer you get, the clearer the voice is. It should be two men listening to the conversation.

"News came from Prince Yan's Mansion that Marquis Qing Ning left the mansion a few days ago, and his whereabouts are still unknown. The most important thing is that Cui Miao has also left Beiping City. Is there anything unusual about Wanping recently?"

"My lord, Wan Ping is calm and there is nothing unusual, so you don't have to worry. Besides, there are only two warriors, I don't think there is anything to be afraid of."

"Daxing County was taken over overnight by these two people. How could they be as simple as the warriors you said? If you don't want to be skinned, you'd better be more cautious. If you find suspicious outsiders, you would rather kill them by mistake. Don't let it go!"

"Yes, what my lord has taught me is that I must keep this in mind! The reason why Daxing County was taken over is because I was unprepared, and I, Wanping, have already laid a net. As long as they dare to come, I will definitely let them come and go!"

"Confidence is a good thing, but don't forget to be blindly confident. I have never learned how powerful Shen Qing is, but I have witnessed Cui Miao's excellence. He solved a murder case in just two hours. His wisdom is not yours." within reach."

"Yes, the lower officials are taught!"

The corners of Cui Miao's lips curled up when he heard the words, it was more coincidental than early, the magistrate of Wanping County must be one of the two people who spoke, and the other's voice was familiar, and he knew a little about himself inside and out, so he should be an acquaintance .

After a short silence, someone said again: "I heard that you have an account book in your hand, which records all the tax records over the years. Is there such a thing?"

"No, absolutely not! I don't know who made this rumor, and the next official is willing to confront him."

After another moment of silence, the man continued, "It's best if you don't have it. If there is, destroy it quickly. If I find out, you should know what the consequences will be."

"I don't dare! I swear that this is definitely someone else's fabrication and frame-up, there is absolutely no such thing!"

While the two were talking, Cui Miao had come to the end of the passage, hidden in the shadows, and looked into the cave. The cave was brightly lit, and there were bags of grain neatly piled up inside. There were two people wearing capes standing in the middle. A man in a hood.Because of the angle, Cui Miao couldn't see the two of them clearly.In addition to these two people, there were two guards standing at the entrance of the passage, and there were also two guards at the entrance of the cave, but they were just wearing casual clothes.

"The magistrate of Daxing County committed suicide in fear of crime on the way to the capital, and his family members couldn't bear the humiliation, so they committed suicide by taking poison. Except for the 20 shi of grain, no one could enter the capital alive."

The person standing on the left quickly bowed, and said fearfully: "Don't worry, my lord, I will guard against death and never give those people a chance. Don't hurt your family, they really don't know anything."

The person on the right was silent for a while, then turned to look at the magistrate of Wanping County, just in time for Cui Miao to see clearly, he was surprised for a moment, but then he was relieved, no wonder he felt his voice was familiar, he was really an acquaintance .

"If you don't want to harm your family, it's best to kill yourself when you are caught, so that we don't have to worry about it, and you can keep them, killing two birds with one stone."

The county magistrate of Wanping County only felt chills in his heart, and became more respectful, saying: "Your official understands, and I will definitely do it. Thank you for your kindness, and leave incense for this official."

"Okay, remember my words, how to act in your heart."

Seeing that they were about to leave, Cui Miao was a little anxious. It would take a lot of effort to let them go, but besides the two civil servants, there were four thugs here. Before they were injured, it would be no problem to take some of them down. But now there are signs of repeated injuries on his body, if he rushes up like this, not only will he not be able to keep people, he will have to get in himself.

"How to do it?"

Cui Miao was quick-witted, grabbed a handful of dirt from the wall and wiped it on his face, then ruthlessly cut his arm with a knife, wiped the blood on his body, and then rubbed the dirt all over his body. The clean clothes were made by him. He's in a bad shape, his whole body is disgraced and embarrassed!

Panting roughly, Cui Miao stumbled out of the passage, fell directly on the ground, and crawled to the magistrate of Wanping County, saying in horror: "My lord, my lord is not good, I killed you! I'm dead, everyone died!"

Seeing that Cui Miao was wearing the clothes of an officer, the guards at the entrance of the passage relaxed their vigilance, while the two people at the entrance of the cave leaned over and stood cautiously behind Zhao Quande.

The magistrate of Wanping County came back to his senses and hurriedly asked: "Who killed, who killed, and what happened?"

"Small one, I don't even know about it, but at the third watch, a group of men in black rushed in and killed everyone they saw. The brothers were all dead, and the wives..."

The magistrate of Wanping County widened his eyes in horror, and asked eagerly: "What's wrong with the ladies, where are the young master and miss?"

"The wives are all dead, the young master, the lady is also dead, and there is no one in the yamen. The little one risked his life to come here, just wanting to inform the adults before he dies, hurry up, run away..."

After finishing speaking, Cui Miao lay down on the ground and held her breath.

"All, dead..."

The county magistrate of Wanping County was stunned on the spot, then looked at Zhao Quande angrily, and said with a ferocious face: "Zhao Quande, you are so ruthless! I said why you came at this time, so you want to kill someone. I, Cao Cong, am sorry for you. , You actually destroyed my whole family and my Cao family's incense!"

Zhao Quande was also at a loss, when suddenly a huge bowl of shit was placed on his head, he didn't know what to do, frowned and said: "This matter has nothing to do with me! Cao Cong, don't lose your mind!"

"Zhao Quande, you fucking destroyed my whole family. Should I say I'm out of my mind? Yes, I was out of my mind. Why did I get on this thief ship like yours?" Cao Cong grabbed the steel knife from Cui Miao's hand and pointed at him. Looking at Zhao Quande, he said with red eyes: "Brothers, they want our lives, and we can't just wait for death. We will fight them. Killing one is not a loss, killing two is profitable, kill!"

The three rushed up without saying a word, Zhao Quande hurriedly hid behind the two subordinates, and explained angrily, "Cao Cong, you idiot! I didn't kill you! Stop!"

If it was any time before, Cui Miao's plan would hardly be successful. The reason why Cao Cong believed his words was mainly because of the conversation between the two just now. This threat to Cao Cong, coupled with Zhao Quande's inexplicable and unclear purpose for coming this time, the combination of these reasons made Cao Cong convinced that Cui Miao's words were true.Zhao Quande came here at this time and asked him to meet in the cave, just to distract him and kill his whole family.

Cao Cong's mind was full of thoughts of revenge, his eyes were bloodshot from being stimulated, and he raised his knife and slashed regardless.Zhao Quande's men didn't get the order and could only parry, but they were defeated by their ignorance for a while.

"Cao Cong, stop the fuck! I didn't send those people!"

"It's not you, it's Li Yu, there will be no one else! Even if you kill a thousand swords, I will drag you to hell with me even if I die!"

Zhao Quande was taken aback by Cao Cong's words. After thinking about it carefully, he actually felt that it made sense. He thought angrily, "Well, you Li Yu, you actually came up with such a way to kill two birds with one stone. You not only get rid of Cao Cong, but also get rid of him." Got me! Well, very good!"

"It's Li Yu, it must be Li Yu! Your mother wants to seek revenge from him!"

When Cao Cong heard this, he became more convinced that the hatred in his heart had reached its peak, and it was because he, a powerless civil servant, wielded the steel knife like a demon.
