Chapter 171 Qingchun Pavilion
In the study room of Yuping County Yamenzhai, the county magistrate Scholar Hong, dressed in casual clothes, leaned on the back of his chair, staring at the ceiling of the study room, worrying about losing his official seal. Scholar Hong, as his name suggests, is handsome and delicate.
, was born as a Jinshi with the rank of Jinshi, and was the distant cousin of Hong Anyu, the Minister of Civil Affairs. With the help of his uncle Hong Anyu, he was appointed as the magistrate of Yuping County, Shannan Province. Unexpectedly, he became the magistrate of Yuping County in Shannan Province only three months after taking office.
It's such a big deal.
Master Hong Nanting is Shusheng Hong’s brother. They are both from Hongjia Village, Heishan County, Liaodong Province. They have been close friends since childhood. After Scholar Hong became the county magistrate, Hong Nanting became Shusheng Hong’s master and was responsible for making suggestions. Seeing Scholar Hong frowning
Without further ado, Hong Nanting consoled him: "Sir, we don't have to worry about this matter. Since Xin Zhiping promised us that we must catch this thief who stole the seal, let's just relax and wait and see!"
Scholar Hong said with a sad face: "Brother Nanting, are you sure that this case was not really done by Xin Zhiping? You also know that last night, Niu Captou searched their residence at Fusheng Inn again, and found the jade.
And the picture of the lady and other things, but the official seal is not there!"
Hong Nanting smiled slightly, "Sir, do you think that if they are really thieves, they are living in the Fusheng Inn in a grand manner and waiting for us to catch them? Why would he go to the county government office with us to drink tea? Just fly over the eaves and walk over the wall. As far as we are now
They can’t even catch their shadows! Moreover, they themselves said that the money they have comes from Jianlin Villa, and he is the junior brother of Luo Fengyang, the second best person in the world, so he can’t lie!”
Scholar Hong shook his head, "Brother Nanting, the so-called knowing people but not knowing the heart! Even if he is really the junior brother of Luo Fengyang who is second in the world, Luo Fengyang's junior brother is not necessarily a good person! What if he takes advantage of it?
His chance to go out slipped away, what do you think we can do to him? That guy named Tie is the third prince who suddenly returned to the country. We have no power to deal with him at all, we have to leave it to the court to deal with him!"
Hong Nanting shook the fan in his hand and said, "Sir, if you think about it again, with Xin Zhiping's ability, our county jail cannot hold him at all. He comes and leaves whenever he wants. We have staged a cruel trick in the hall."
At that time, you also saw that the clamping stick broke into pieces when clamped hard. With such ability, it would be so easy for him to run away! But why didn't he run away? He didn't want to find innocence for himself! "
Scholar Hong sighed, "Brother Nanting, I hope this matter is as you said and the official seal can be recovered. I am so distraught now that I don't know what to do! Except for the one with the surname Xin, I think we
No one can count on him, all the detectives are useless, and Ye Hetang, who is known as the number one master in Wuyuan, can't even get past him!"
Hong Nanting said with a smile: "The official seal has just been lost, and there is such a strange person coming to help. Isn't this a lucky person who has his own destiny? So sir, you don't have to worry, just relax. With Xin Zhiping's ability, he will definitely be able to give the official seal to him."
You get it back. And you see, as soon as Xin Zhiping arrived here, he was immediately framed, which shows that someone has been watching him. The person who framed him may be the real culprit in this case! "
Scholar Hong wiped the sweat on his head with his sleeve, and then he smiled a little: "Brother Nanting, I hope what you said can come true! I have been so scared after losing my official seal in the past two days.
There was an official document that required an official seal, and I immediately became confused.
I have been very anxious these past two days. If I can't find the official seal, I will tie myself up and go to Beijing to plead guilty to the Ministry of Personnel!"
Hong Nanting laughed loudly, "Sir, let me tell you another blessing among misfortunes. Yesterday I looked through the laws of our great merchants, but they didn't say how to deal with losing the official seal. In other words, this matter, but...
Whether it's big or small depends on whether anyone in the court speaks, because there is no precedent for this matter, and no one has ever lost his official seal! From this matter, it shows that someone is trying to frame Xin Zhiping, otherwise if you say Xin Zhiping, he
He is a thief, I can understand stealing valuable things, but what is the use of stealing your official seal?"
Scholar Hong slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, Brother Nanting, what you said makes so much sense! I lost my official seal. I've been as anxious as an ant on a hot pot these past two days. How can I still have the mood to think about these things carefully! This thief
It’s so bad. In order to get Xin Zhiping, I even killed myself! Now I’m afraid that this thief will destroy the official seal, which will really make things worse!”
Hong Nanting nodded, "We want to guard against this possibility, but since Xin Zhiping said that he has a good relationship with Mr. Tang in the Imperial Prefecture, and he is chasing Mr. Tang along the way, then at the critical moment, we can also ask Mr. Tang
Asking for help, if someone harms his good friend, he will not sit idly by and ignore it, right? Even if the official seal is really destroyed, there is an uncle in the official department who can talk to him, and if the Imperial Master's Office can help here, the problem will not be too big.
!”
Scholar Hong stood up excitedly and walked around the study, "That would be great! What a blessing in disguise!"
Hong Nanting picked up the tea bowl on the table, took a sip slowly, and said with a proud smile: "Of course, just in case, I secretly sent two capable detectives to Jianlin Villa to collect evidence last night.
The gold and silver were indeed donated by the owner of Jianlin Villa, and if Xin Zhiping was still at Jianlin Villa five days ago, it would be more conclusive that this case was not committed by Xin Zhiping, but that there was another real culprit!"
Scholar Hong walked up to Hong Nanting, took Hong Nanting's hands, and said excitedly: "Brother Nanting, my good brother, you really deserve the nickname Xiao Zhuge. You are indeed far-sighted! Looking at it this way, I am far behind.
, I panic when something happens, and when I get anxious, I just run around on the ground!"
Yuan Nanting laughed loudly, "Sir, you were born to sit in a sedan chair, and I'm just a sedan bearer. We must be doing the work, and the credit belongs to you, sir! If the official seal is not recovered in the end, then let's
Just put the responsibility on me. Master has lost his official seal, so it’s better for you to give me some explanation!"
Scholar Hong's eyes were red and he couldn't say anything. He just held Yuan Nanting's hand harder. Yuan Nanting let out an ouch, grinned and said: "My lord, be gentle, be gentle! I can't bear to do anything with my hand."
It hurts you!"
Only then did Scholar Hong realize his gaffe, and quickly let go, scratched his head, and smiled sheepishly. Hong Nanting shook his head, looked at his hands and joked: "My name is Scholar, but this scholar's hands are very strong."
You are so young, no wonder you can be an adult and I can only be a master!" Scholar Hong laughed loudly.
Qingchun Pavilion is the largest brothel in Yuping County. It is located in Jialin Lane in the southeast corner of the county. Jialin Lane is not far from the county government. There are six or seven brothels, and there are people coming and going even in the middle of the night.
Put on your brand
Xin Zhiping, who has a new face and has changed into fine clothes, is sitting in a private room on the third floor of Qingchun Pavilion, holding a heavily made-up woman in his arms and changing cups. Tiedun, who is also wearing a new face, is sitting opposite Xin Zhiping.
He was chatting and laughing with a poor man.
This was Master Yuan Nanting's idea. He used two people who looked somewhat similar to them to get Xin Zhiping and Tiedun out of prison, and asked them to wear masks and disguise themselves to find out the news. Because the police officers
They all have familiar faces, but it’s not easy to do things.
Before coming to the brothel, Xin Zhiping said to Tiedan, "Tiedan, the brothel is the most crowded place and the easiest place to find out information. Let's just go straight to the biggest brothel in the city and sit there and seduce two women.
While drinking and inquiring about information, what do you think of this matter?"
Tiedun laughed loudly at first, and then said meaningfully: "Master, this is the first time I heard someone talk about visiting a brothel as being so high-class. If you want to visit a brothel, just visit a brothel. We are all men, and I am my disciple.
I won’t laugh at you!”
Xin Zhiping flicked a chestnut on Tiedun's head and cursed angrily: "You bastard! You're even making fun of your master! Master has practiced the secret technique of rejuvenation and cannot approach women! You don't understand this either, so why not?"
Dare to make fun of Master!"
Tie Dun was stunned and said, "Master, since you can't be close to women, why are you going to a brothel? Otherwise, if you lose control of your sexual behavior after drinking, wouldn't all your previous efforts be wasted?"
Xin Zhiping blushed, "You bastard! Is Master the kind of person who can't control himself? Ah? Master is the contemporary Liu Xiahui, and he has good concentration!"
Tiedun snickered and said: "Master, when I entered the city last night, I saw a beautiful girl with big breasts walking in front of you. You stared hard at her breasts, and the girl was so angry that she almost lost her temper.
If I come to chop you with a knife, another girl who is traveling with her should pull her away, otherwise I think you will be chased for three streets!"
Xin Zhiping was so angry that he slapped Tiedun on the head again, "You bastard, you won't pick up any pot. Isn't that just once in a while? Now as a teacher, I have to go to a brothel.
I’m just asking you if you’re going!” Tiedun chuckled and said, “Master is going, how can I not go? I don’t practice the secret of rejuvenation, I’m a normal man!”
Then Tiedun received another blow on the head, and Xin Zhiping angrily cursed: "You bastard, am I not a normal man, Master?" In this way, the master and the apprentice disguised themselves and came to Qingchun Pavilion.
We booked a private room on the second floor, hired a private waiter and a red waiter, and while drinking and having fun, we tried to find out the news.
The two masters and apprentices were drinking when they suddenly heard someone moving their hands outside the box, followed by the sound of shouting and cursing, and the sound of bowls being broken. Xin Zhiping was overjoyed. He came to the brothel this time to look for trouble. There was something going on outside.
, This is great! It would be best to have something to do with that criminal thief. How much trouble will I have to save, Uncle Xin?
Xin Zhiping stood up and said, "Apprentice, you sit here and drink honestly. Master, go out and see what's going on!" Tiedun agreed. Before Xin Zhiping could finish his words, someone was knocked out of the wall of the box.
Chapter completed!
