The three divisions brought this time are Li Mu calm, Wu Shan smart, Yan Yang is honest, and Yan Yang is honest. Seeing Gou Mao giving the title, the golfers were frightened. Wu Shan immediately raised his knife and shouted, "Don't you give up on the throne? Do you have to die with this dog?"

Sun Ping had long lost his courage. Looking at the shaking tip of the knife in front of him, he knelt down, bowed his head in the mud pit filled with rain, and said tremblingly: "Good life!"

Dong, Dong!

One, two, three... The short scattered all over the ground, and everyone abandoned their weapons without resistance. Li Mu gave up his weapons and surrendered. Wu Shan understood it, collected the short scattered on the ground and placed it on one side to watch. Without weapons, these people were toothless rabbits. Yan Yang found a rope and tied them up with his back and his hands to prevent any recurrence.

Zuo Qi walked to Gou Mao's body, pretended to vent his anger, and used a sword to snatch his belly, and took away the four small stones that had been broken into his body. In this way, even the smartest coroner's post-mortem, there was no flaw in it.

The craftsmen next to the mountain wall were stunned. They stood still, neither daring to escape nor making noises, as they were like walking corpses. Xu You didn't care about them now, so he took Sun Ping to the hut next to him and asked, "Why did Tang Zhiyi carve a Buddha statue here?"

"It's not Lord Tang Xing...it's Liu, Liu Langjun..."

"Liu Yu?"

Xu You frowned. The answer was not unexpected. Digging a Buddha statue was a huge labor and financial resource. Tang Zhiyi did not have this realm, nor did he have this financial power. Sun Ping was so scared that he wanted to kneel down again. Xu You reached out to stop him and said, "Don't be afraid, I will only kill the evil ones. I will not investigate. Let's explain the cause of this matter clearly first."

"Yes, yes! I don't know much, I just heard from the Master of Action..."

It turned out that Liu Yu lost his father when he was young and was lonely and helpless. He returned home in glory all day and wanted to be proud. In addition, in order to commemorate the spirit of the deceased father, he planned to carve out 7,799 Buddha statues in the mountain wall of Jingqiu, but the construction period was extremely urgent and the strict order was completed on the eighth day of the April next year. Therefore, Tang Zhiyi gathered a large group of gossips, driving craftsmen to whip and insult them at every turn, and chiseling stones to split the mountain day and night, which was extremely miserable.

These craftsmen had slaves bought from the market, refugees without households, and craftsmen appointed by the imperial court. They were either in charge of life and death, were afraid of the tyranny of the robbers, or were used to obeying others. Although they were enslaved extremely, no one dared to fight.

Xu You asked Sun Ping to find two craftsmen with some prestige, but they all looked pale, kneeling down and dared not look up, hesitating, trembling, and unable to say a complete sentence. However, Xu You was best at communicating with people, saying warmly and comfortingly, and quickly calmed them down. Then he ordered the autumnal equinox and winter solstice to boil some hot water, and let Fang Xiuniang and others make some porridge soup. This room was the stronghold of Rangers, and all the pots, bowls and stoves were available. When the hot porridge soup was over, he warmed up all over his body, and asked them again, and his speech finally became much fluent.

"Shouldn't you serve in the Baigong Academy? How could you build a Buddha statue for Liu Yao?"

"Your husband, the villain didn't know that the courtyard sent fourteen people here to create Buddha, saying that they could be exempted from the officials' servants."

Xu You asked Zuo Yu about the situation of the craftsmanship in Chu State, and he had a good idea. The craftsmen and military households, officials, miscellaneous households, music households, tenants, tribes, etc. are all untouchables. The craftsmen have been engaged in various handicraft productions such as construction, textiles, military equipment, and handicrafts for generations. The father died and the son succeeded, and the servants were all replenished, and they were directly managed by the Baigong Academy. The craftsmen were admitted to the hospital early every day and scattered until dusk. Except for the salt and rice distributed by the government, they had no other income, and they had to bear all their income.

The erosion of officials at the level is very difficult, and things happen to the children of the family from time to time. Their identities are serfs. According to the laws of the court, they cannot be hired by free people, nor can they betray their products freely. However, in view of the national conditions and traditions, various unspoken rules are rampant. The officials of the Academy of Works often privately employed craftsmen to do some craftsmanship to the gentry and wealthy businessmen to gain benefits from it. Most of the people turn a blind eye and generally do not investigate them.

However, strictly speaking, it is completely illegal to hire these craftsmen to build Buddhas in Jingqiu!

"You are dead just now. You are all on the scene. I'm afraid you can't be good at it. Why do you follow me back to the county town to meet the officials?" The two craftsmen trembled, and the soup bowl he was holding fell to the ground, shattering, and the steaming heat dissipated in an instant.

Xu You hurriedly comforted him: "Don't be afraid, I killed the person, it has nothing to do with you. Just go back and testify and tell the truth about everything you see. In this way, sign and seal the case according to the law. The government can no longer use this to threaten you."

After all, the older one of the two had eaten a few more rice, so they had to understand the knowledge. They knew that Xu You was actually for their own good. They understood the murder case in front of each other, but they could avoid endless troubles in the future. They knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "We would like to follow the husband to meet the officials."

"Okay, get up, let others clean up their utensils and come to the house to avoid the wind and rain first. You two have a simple rest and follow me to go back to the city."

Not only were Xu You returning to the city, but also Sun Ping and more than a dozen other rangers. Gou Mao's body was also wrapped in broken reed mats and was taken back to the city. While everyone was busy making arrangements, Xu You walked outside the hut, and Zuo Yu was on the side. He chuckled and said, "I was thinking at the time that if you didn't take action, your face would be too big today."

"I heard that my husband deliberately pointed out that Gou Mao passed through the water and fire gate, and I understood my husband's intentions. Fortunately, I was lucky to be unfair."

After experiencing so many things, the two of them have no hindrance to understand each other, at least they have no time to cooperate. Xu You turned around and suddenly said, "Did you bring money with you?"

The group was in a vast and arrived at the county yard until it was dark. The guards at the gate recognized Xu You and hurriedly came over, asking the reason, and saying: "You are a good teacher to learn that the Ming Mansion is really not in the mansion at this moment."

"Where did you go? When will you go back?"

"this……"

Xu You coughed, Zuo Qi blocked the eyes of everyone behind him, took out a hundred cents of money from his arms and handed it over. The yamen immediately smiled and looked at Xu You. Seeing that he nodded slightly, he hurriedly collected the money and came over to whisper: "I went to Dade Temple..."

Dade Temple?

Xu You was a little distracted. At this time, Lu Hui went to Dade Temple for something. The yamen continued: "It seems that something happened over there, and the monks asked the Ming Mansion to terminate the lawsuit."

This is strange. Dade Temple is the foundation of Buddhism's expansion in Yangzhou. Zhu Fayan personally took charge of what kind of case can arise? He went to Lu Hui to cut off the lawsuit?

Xu You didn't ask any more questions. The yamen didn't know much, and he couldn't ask any inside information. He said, "Where is County Magistrate Du?"

"The county magistrate is also with the Mingfu."

"Is County Chief Li here?"

"The county magistrate has been feeling unwell recently and has not been here for nearly half a month."

Xu You was speechless, and had no place to surrender after killing someone and wanted to surrender. He said, "After all, there are lives and so many people gather together. I'm afraid of chaos. Can you send someone to Dade Temple to invite Mingfu back?"

"In this way, I will immediately report to the Yellow Thief and let him take charge. What does the husband think?"

The last time the Zheng thief arrested offended Xu You, but was taken down by Gu Yun, and it was replaced by the yellow thief arrested. Xu You had never dealt with him, but today's affairs were under the jurisdiction of the thief arrested, so I found the main owner when I looked for him.

"Okay, you go!"

"Yes, wait!"

The yamen was about to leave when they heard the crowd and said, "Why are you gathering in front of the yamen?"

Xu You turned around and saw a man getting off the ox cart. He had Liang Guan, black skirt, plain leather belt, black leather shoes, and the county magistrate's official uniform. He bowed and said, "I have seen Mingfu!"

Lu Hui has a moderate figure, a rosy face, and his eyebrows are curved like hooks, embellishing his dim eyes with a bit of humor. There are two faint beards on his lips. Just from his appearance, it is not outstanding, but it is not ordinary. At least it can be remembered in his heart by looking at it.

In ancient times, being an official was very advantageous when he was a good person, but his appearance was given by his parents. He was really not handsome and had to have some personal characteristics, so that he could easily get familiar with his boss and the emperor.

"Who are you?"

Du Sansheng followed the ox cart, smiled at Xu You first, and then said respectfully: "Mingfu, this is Xu You, Yixing Xu Qilang!"

"Oh, it's you, I've been celebrating for a long time!"

Lu Hui looked cold, swept across the crowd in front of the door, and said impatiently: "Qilang led the crowd to knock on the door, but what kind of injustice should I complain?"

Xu You waved his hand and said, "Come on!"

Wu Shan and Yan Yang carried the broken mat and placed it on the ground, untied the straw rope, Gou Mao's body was revealed, his head was resting on his chest, his eyes were protruding, and blood was covered from top to bottom. It was really indescribable.

"ah!"

Lu Hui was reluctant to see this scene, his face changed drastically, and he staggered back a few steps. If Du Sansheng hadn't been quick-eyed and quick-handed, he would have been holding his arm, he would have been fooled immediately.

"Xu You, you are so bold!"

Lu Hui calmed down, became furious, pointed at Xu You and scolded: "You dare to tease me with dead people. Come and take it down for me!"

"Don't calm down the anger of Ming Mansion!"

No one from the left and right yamen took action, and they all looked at Du Sansheng. Du Sansheng advised with kind words: "I know Mr. Xu. I will never dare to be disrespectful to the Ming Mansion. There must be some inside information about this matter. Why not listen to his explanation? If you really have ulterior motives, it will not be too late to make a decision!"

Lu Hui's chest was undulating and glaring at Xu You. After a while, he reluctantly agreed and said, "Well! I'll go back to the house first, you can take them to the lobby to wait."

"No!" Du Sansheng smiled and said, "Please please in Mingfu!"

"Hmph!" Lu Hui shook his robe sleeves and took a step to walk. He hesitated for a moment, bypassed the corpse on the ground, and quickly disappeared behind the yamen.

"County lieutenant, it seems that Mingfu is very dissatisfied with me!" Xu You knew very well that Lu Hui had angered today, not only because of Gou Mao's body, but because of helping Zhan Hong stand up before, losing Lu Hui's face. He was so angry that he finally took advantage of the problem and took it out today.

Du Sansheng smiled and said, "There is nothing. Ming Mansion talked to me the day before yesterday and praised me!"

"Really? Then I'll feel relieved!"
