I'm taking the imperial examinations in Liaozhai

Chapter 151

"Who are you, I'm looking for my cousin, open the door quickly." Ji Zihe said confidently.

"He's not at home, come back tomorrow."

"How could he not be at home? We made an appointment a few days ago. Don't delay, you little girl, open the door quickly." Ji Zihe shouted.

"Stop arguing, he's really not at home, hurry up and leave."

"Then my cousin and aunt are at home, and the old lady and my nephews are probably not at home. Hurry up and open the door. It's late at night. After a long day of driving and walking for several miles, I haven't had dinner yet." I'm starving to death, and you still want to drive me away." Ji Zihe kicked the door rather rascally, and shouted.

After a while, someone inside responded, "Okay, then come in, don't regret it."

"What are you regretting? Why should I regret it?" Ji Zihe asked rhetorically.

The sound of the latch inside the door sounded, and the police officers on the walls on both sides of the door were ready to go, Ji Zihe still had a dissatisfied look on his face.

The door was opened, a girl took a few steps back and said to Ji Zihe, "Come in."

"Hmph, that's about the same." Ji Zihe patted his clothes rather proudly, raised his arms and chest, and was about to walk inside.

The woman looked at Ji Zihe with a smile on her face, Ji Zihe turned around and shouted, "Little Jiu!"

Huang Jiulang moved quickly, and together with Ji Zihe, he pressed against the door panel on one side, and there were several screams from behind the door.Immediately afterwards, the ambushing police officers reappeared, and the situation changed suddenly.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, the woman ran away, but was overtaken by the arresters. Although she had some skill, she was outnumbered by the arresters. After a few tricks, she was overwhelmed by the arresters and fell to the ground on the spot. It's tied up.

In addition to him, there were also two "women" holding thick sticks standing behind the door. If Ji Zihe and Xiao Jiu really walked in, they would be captured on the spot.Fortunately, Ji Zihe reacted quickly enough, so they were the ones who were taken down.

With such a big commotion, the leader of the flower picker, Sang Chong, and the remaining flower picker were naturally alarmed.They hurried to the woodshed, wanting to use the Zhang family to threaten them, but they didn't expect that two policemen had already entered the woodshed.

As soon as the two opened the door of the firewood room, there were two shining big knives facing them.Fortunately, Sang Chong was vigilant and pulled the people around him back a step, thus avoiding a bloody case of separation.

"Master, what should I do?"

"Let's go." Sang Chong looked at the two police officers with knives in the firewood room, and resolutely gave up the hostages.They don't have time to wrestle with these people, and the 36 plan is still the best plan.

Unfortunately, within a short while, Ji Zihe had already brought other people around.

With a dagger in his hand, Sang Chong leaned his back against his apprentice, watching these arresters vigilantly, feeling infinitely sad.

It's really aggrieved, what went wrong, and why did it attract the attention of the police.Obviously they have been very careful, how did these people find them.Do you think that Sang Chong, who has been domineering for more than ten years, is going to be planted in this little-known little place today?

Sang Chong's martial arts is not considered strong, so the gang of them usually commit crimes by outsmarting rather than force.If all five of them were there, they might be able to escape if they fought hard.It's a pity that three people have been arrested because of carelessness, and there are only two of them left. Facing a dozen or so arresters, there is basically no chance of winning.

"You are already surrounded. Hurry up and put down your weapons, and capture them with your arms tied, so as not to suffer flesh and blood." Standing beside Ji Zihe, Huang Jiulang said loudly.

"Who the hell are you? Why did you arrest our sisters? Could it be that our sisters have offended you?" Sang Chong's eyes flickered, he was really unwilling to be caught by these small arrests in exchange for rewards, and he was thinking quickly .

"You flower pickers, you still dare to quibble. Fortunately, our county magistrate has sharp eyes, otherwise you would have been fooled." Huang Jiulang shouted with his hands on his hips.

Sang Chong looked at Ji Zihe, who was standing in front of Huang Jiulang, who was dressed in normal clothes. This little white face was so weak, mixed with a group of high-ranking and low-level arresting officers, he must be the county magistrate.As long as they catch him, they will be able to solve their difficulties today.

Sang Chong made up his mind, put down his hand, hid the dagger in his sleeve, and took small steps to get closer to Ji Zihe.Seeing that the police were waiting for an opportunity, they stopped, saluted slightly, and said in a soft voice, "I'm just kidding, we are all weak women, how could we be some kind of flower-picking thief, you must have made a mistake."

"Hmph, stop pretending. You can fool others, but you can't fool us." Huang Jiulang said.

Sang Chong raised his sleeves to cover the lower half of his face, with a sad expression on his face, "Since the officials don't believe me, the little girl has nothing to do. She can only go to the county government with the officials, and I hope the adults can pay back." The servant is innocent."

"Master!" Sang Chong said, startling his disciple, and staring at him with wide eyes in disbelief.How can a thief go to the county government voluntarily? Isn't that a trap for himself?

Not only Sang Chong's children, but even the police officers were confused by his operation.This moment was what Sang Chong wanted, his eyes sharpened in an instant, and he rushed to Ji Zihe, pointing the dagger in his hand at his throat.

His movements were fast, and when the arresters realized that they wanted to save the weak magistrate, they were already a beat behind. Seeing that Sang Chong was about to put the dagger on Ji Zihe's neck, Ji Zihe remained calm in the face of danger. , there was no panic on his face.

Sang Chong thought to himself, this little boy must have been scared silly, and he couldn't help showing a happy smile on his face.But Ji Zihe looked at him indifferently, as if he didn't take him seriously, and regarded himself as an ant who was overwhelmed.Sang Chong felt a sense of crisis again, could it be a fraud?

Before Sang Chong could figure it out, Ji Zihe raised his leg and kicked him.

The policemen saw that Sang Chong turned into an afterimage and flew past their eyes, hit the wall with a bang, and knocked the earth wall out of a big hole.All of them froze their bodies as if their acupoints were tapped, opened their mouths wide, and looked at Ji Zihe as if they were looking at a monster.

With a calm expression on his face, Ji Zihe patted his clothes, looked at the dumbfounded policemen around him, and reminded, "Why are you standing there, tie him up quickly."

The arresters quickly came to their senses and rushed to arrest people.Sang Chong fell to the corner, spitting blood from his mouth, and had lost consciousness.As for the standing one, I don't know if he was restrained by Ji Zihe's magical kick, dropped his weapon, and was tied up by the arresters without resisting.

Ji Zihe asked someone to bring a basin of water to wash off the makeup on the faces of several suspects, and asked Yan Ruyu to bring over the arrest warrants, and ordered them to compare them one by one by the light.

"My lord, these five people are indeed Sang Chong's group of flower picking thieves. The one kicked by you is Sang Chong, and the other four are Wang Daxi, Zhao Wuji, Zhang Dabao and Sun Hu." Yan Ruyu said.

"Who's missing?"

"One less Wang Erxi."

Ji Zihe took Wang Erxi's portrait, looked at the portrait carefully, and returned it to Yan Ruyu, saying, "Take those five people to the county government prison and keep them under strict supervision. Remember to find a doctor for Sang Chong. Let him die."

"Yes." Yan Ruyu took the portrait and retreated.

A catcher came over quickly and bowed respectfully to Ji Zihe, "My lord, the Zhang family asks to see you."

"Please come over here."

"Yes."

The police quickly obeyed and brought the Zhang family over.There are not many Zhang family members, only a couple, a few children and Lao Zhang's old mother.They were locked up in the woodshed for several days. Although they simply cleaned up, lost their smell and changed their clothes, they were not in a good state of mind.

The man is supporting the old mother, the woman is holding a child, and there are three older children behind her.A group of people walked up to Ji Zihe, knelt down immediately, kowtowed a few times, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Master Qingtian, for saving our family. Thank you, Master, for saving our lives."

"Please get up quickly, this is my job." Ji Zihe helped the leading man up.

"If it hadn't been for the Elder Master to save us, our family's lives would be in danger. I really don't know how to repay such a great kindness." Lao Zhang said.

"As the local parental officer, it is my responsibility to protect the people, so there is no need to thank you." Ji Zihe said, "Zhang Afu, did you know these thieves before?"

Lao Zhang quickly shook his head, "My lord, I don't know them."

"Don't be nervous, I just want to know the ins and outs of the matter, you just tell me everything you know."

"Yes, my lord. The villain has never seen them before. It was just dark a few days ago, and the villain's family had eaten and were getting ready to go to bed. Who would have heard a knock on the door suddenly. The villain put on his clothes and went to bed." I asked who it was from behind the gate. I only heard a woman’s voice, saying that she was here to vote for relatives, but I couldn’t find a place. The inn was full and there was no place to stay. If you want to borrow a night, you can pay for the villain’s accommodation. Xiaoren After discussing with his wife, the man agreed to her request and opened the door. Unexpectedly, there was not one person outside, but several people. Both the son and the old lady were imprisoned in the woodshed. Until today, the adults brought some officials to rescue them, and the villain's family was able to escape, thank you for your kindness." Lao Zhang thanked again and again.

"Do you know how many people are in their group?"

"It should be five people." Old Zhang said.

"you sure?"

Lao Zhang was a little uncertain again, and after discussing with his family, he said, "My lord, there are indeed five people."

"Then did they contact anyone else?"

Lao Zhang shook his head, "My lord, we have been locked in the woodshed these days, and we can't get out at all. We don't know what they are doing or who they are with."

Ji Zihe was a little disappointed. It seemed that he couldn't get any clues from Lao Zhang. He still had to start with those flower pickers.

After comforting the Zhang family, Ji Zihe took the arresters back to the county government office.Yan Ruyu asked him if he wanted to interrogate the flower picker, and Ji Zihe agreed after thinking about it.

As the saying goes, soldiers are expensive and fast, Ji Zihe caught these flower picking thieves, if Wang Erxi was also in the local area, he would definitely run away after hearing the news, Ji Zihe had to seize the time to interrogate them.

Ji Zihe really couldn't feel any sympathy for these thieves.He just told Yan Ruyu that if they don't recruit, they can be tortured, but they can't hurt their lives.

Ji Zihe's mind was preoccupied with the matter of the flower pickers, wondering if he should go to the prison to see.Suddenly noticed something, looked up and saw Ye Youshen flying over in a hurry.
