Chapter 249: Two Postmasters (5) [Two in One](1/3)
On the same day, after returning to his residence in the inn, Xun Yi locked the door and fell on the bed and slept.
This sleep took me from morning to dawn the next day, and I slept for eight or nine hours.
He was so tired, or rather, he had consumed too much energy last night.
The next day at dawn, Xun Yi finally fell asleep full. At this time, the softness of his whole body, or a part that had been vaguely painful, had all been relieved, but in the case of it, there were waves of soreness from the muscles.
It may take a few more days before it will gradually recover.
It was this sore and swollen feeling of the muscles that made Xun Yi think of the humiliation the night before yesterday...
shame!
A great shame and humiliation!
The night before yesterday to yesterday morning, he experienced two great humiliations that he had never encountered in his life!
He didn't blame those women, after all, they were just poor people who were exploited. He hated the leader of the Black Tiger Thief - Zhou Hu!
But when Xun Yi thought that he had been forced to sign those two shameful things, he felt a sense of despair again.
The disguised confession of the claim of being an internal correspondent of the Black Tiger Thieves is actually fine. What makes Xun Yi feel most ashamed was another "declaration" - he did not dare to think about the evil consequences that would be caused by the exposure.
It was a debt that was enough to shame his family and to make his ancestors look unfair.
Amid the sigh, Xun Yi got up from the couch, sat at the table, and lit the oil lamp on the table.
With the light of the oil lamp, he searched for his booklet, but he could not find it.
...It was probably taken away by his subordinates.
A man wearing a tiger mask flashed in his heart, and Xun Yi stood up and found his luggage.
Judging from the clothes in the luggage, someone had searched his luggage, but fortunately he did not search for another booklet for spare.
Picking up the booklet and returning to the table, Xun Yi followed his memory and prepared to record it again.
However, when he was about to pick up his pen and prepare to write on this booklet, a trace of hesitation suddenly flashed across his face.
Immediately, he put down the pen in his hand irritably.
He was afraid after all.
…Zhou Hu.
Sitting on the chair with both hands in his arms, Xun Yi looked solemnly tidying up his understanding of the leader of the Black Tiger Thieves.
To be fair, his impression of Zhou Hu was actually good, because Zhou Hu had studied and knew etiquette, and even seemed to be a person with a generous mind, turning a blind eye to his repeated ridicule and ridicule.
But from these points, Zhou Hu's personal charm is really not low.
But while being well-educated, Zhou Hu's personality is extremely "bad" and his methods are really "despicable and cruel"...
When Xun Yi thought of the "torture" he encountered the night before yesterday, he couldn't help but blush.
He was forty and one after another this year. During those forty-one years, he had always followed the rules. Whether he was learning literature and literacy in his childhood, or when he grew up and started a family and started a career, he never did such...crazy things.
Too crazy...
Xun Yi suddenly felt a little dry and his whole body was a little dry and inexplicably hot.
After cursing himself a few words, he got up and poured himself a bowl of water.
After drinking a bowl of water, he felt that the heat in his body had improved a lot. At this time, he was finally able to concentrate on what was going on.
That is, how to deal with reports about the Black Tiger Thieves.
After more than an hour of thinking, he could not make a decision even after waiting for the dawn outside the window.
"...I am different from Yang Tong, and I will not be stupid enough to do such evil deeds that are harmful to the world."
Xun Yi vaguely recalled the words of the black tiger thief.
"Let me see it with my own eyes." He murmured.
Then, he used breakfast in the inn.
After breakfast, he called the two guards he accompanied to the room and asked indirectly about what they had encountered the day before yesterday.
Only then did Xun Yi realize that when he was kidnapped by Zhou Hu's men the day before yesterday, his two guards were actually drinking with the people in the inn and were poured down.
This was obviously intentionally arranged by Zhou Hu.
...I'm very careful in doing things.
Tinking secretly, Xun Yi felt relieved. After all, this would save him from explaining something.
Looking at Xun Yi's solemn expression, the guard who had met him yesterday seemed to have thought of something, and with a slightly flattering smile, he said with a pointing meaning: "Supervisor, don't worry, we slept so much that night and had never left the door."
…?
Xun Yi didn't understand what this guy wanted to express.
After using up, he took a bath and changed his clothes in the inn, and then took the two guards to the county government office.
Of course, the people in the county government recognized the supervisor and immediately bowed to Xun Yi and asked: "General, are you here to meet Liu Gong or Ma County Ma?"
Xun Yi shook his head and said, "I'm here to meet Ishihara, Yang Gan, two captains."
Hearing this, the other party was a little puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask questions. He immediately took Xun Yi to the ordinary class room in the county yamen, namely the class room where the captain and the county soldiers were located.
In one of the squad rooms, Ishihara chatted with Yang Gan and several county soldiers, and suddenly someone shouted: "Captain Shi, Captain Yang, Supervisor Xun has something to do with you."
Ishihara, Yang Gan turned his head and saw Xun Yi immediately. He immediately greeted him, clasped his fists and saluted: "Supervisor."
Xun Yi also bowed his hand and immediately expressed his intention: "Captain Shi, Captain Yang, can you take Xun to the countryside in the north of the county today?"
A village in the north of the county?
That's the territory of the Black Tiger Thieves.
Ishihara asked in a low voice: "Supervisor, do you want to see the current situation of the Black Tiger Thieves with your own eyes?"
"Well." Xun Yi nodded without any concealment.
Seeing this, Ishihara and Yang Gan looked at each other and said to Xun Yi: "The Supervisor's order is to obey the order, but it is too close to the old nest of the Black Tiger Thieves... The day before yesterday, Bei Zhi once said that there are also black Tiger Thieves' eyewitnesses in this city. I'm afraid that the Supervisor's identity has been learned. Now the Supervisor is going to the village in the north of the county. I am worried that the Black Tiger Thieves will be unfavorable to the Supervisor."
Hearing this, Xun Yi didn't know what to do.
However, he was not worried about what Ishihara said. After all, he had already dealt with the leader of the Black Tiger Thieves and the other party had already obtained what he wanted. How could it be detrimental to him?
"Please give me two." Xun Yi said seriously.
Seeing that Xun Yi ignored his own safety and insisted on going to the Black Tiger Thieves' territory to check the truth and reality, Ishihara was quite impressed.
He thought for a moment and said, "The Inspector is so heavy... Since the Inspector insists on going to check in person, the low-ranking position should follow and protect him, but this matter needs to be reported to Liu Gong or the county magistrate. Only with the permission of Liu Gong and the county magistrate, we have the right to lead a team of county soldiers to protect the Inspector."
Although Xun Yi knew very well that the Black Tiger Thieves would not be detrimental to him and felt that Ishihara's caution was unnecessary, he did not want to attract the suspicion of the captain. He thought for a while and said, "Okay, then... I'll go and talk about this matter in detail with Mr. Liu."
After saying that, he headed towards Liu Pi's study.
At this time, Liu Pi was dealing with county affairs in the study. Suddenly, he heard Xun Yi coming to ask for a meeting. A strange expression immediately appeared on his face.
As the biggest internal agent of the Black Tiger Thieves in Kunyang County, how could Liu Pi not know what Xun Yi had encountered the day before yesterday?
Yesterday, someone suddenly reported to the official that a group of people had a dispute in Yanliu Tower in the city, so the county magistrate Magai immediately took a team of county soldiers and finally arrested a large group of people, and all of them were temporarily detained.
Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, this was just a normal departure, but Liu Pi and Ma Gai knew very well what was going on.
When Ma Gai came back, he told him that he had seen a man wearing a tiger mask in Yanliu Tower. Taking advantage of the chaos in the building, he took away a man wearing a cloth cover and a quilt. Liu Pi realized that Zhou Hu had probably succeeded.
It turns out that he guessed it right.
Yesterday afternoon, Magai, who was patrolling the streets, went to the Brotherhood Workshop, and received a precise reply from Chen Cai that he had "successfully".
This is very good.
Liu Pi highly praised the Black Tiger Thief Zhou Hu's practice of not killing people without killing people. After all, he also has a conscience and does not want Xun Yi, the upright supervisor, to die in a bad life.
If you can solve the problem without causing a human life, this is naturally the best.
However, thinking about what Xun Yi might have experienced carefully, Liu Pi was also a little chilled.
After all, Zhou Hu, the Black Tiger thief, had also used this trick to scare him, but this time it was really used on Xun Yi.
"Super Xun's Office."
After a while, when Xun Yi walked into the study, Liu Pi personally greeted him.
While greeting Xun Yi politely, he secretly observed the face of the supervisor.
According to what he saw, the Inspector's eyes were slightly concave, his eyes were black, and his complexion and lips were slightly white, which were all signs of a serious injury to his vitality.
Seeing this, Liu Pi was both afraid and wanted to laugh.
I don’t know that Zhou Hu appointed several women to torture this person…
When he was greeting Xun Yi and sitting down, Liu Pi thought to himself.
Xun Yi didn't know what the Kunyang County Magistrate was thinking. After sitting down, he bowed and explained his purpose: "Mr. Liu, Xun wants to go to the countryside in the north today to go to the nest of the Black Tiger Thieves, and see the situation of the Black Tiger Thieves with his own eyes. I hope the county government can send a team of people to accompany him."
"This..." Liu Pi stroked his beard and said, "It's better to let County Ma go with him."
Perhaps Xun Yi also felt that it was indeed inappropriate for him to bypass Ma Gai several times, or that he heard what Ishihara and Yang Gan said the day before yesterday, and felt that Ma Gai could trust him, so he did not refuse today.
