Through snooping around, Leng Yi learned that the county magistrate he was pretending to be was from a very poor family and had no money to gain connections. After being named on the gold medal list, he was assigned to be an official in this remote rural area. It had only been three or four years since he brought his wife to this Yinling County and took up the post.

Months. This made Leng Yi even more relieved. He had only been in office for three or four months, which meant that he still didn’t understand many things, so it would be easier for him to pretend. And he had to

The surname of the wife of the magistrate is Zhuo, but I was not asked what her name is, and I guess the master does not know. The master's surname is Dong. He was recommended to him by the previous magistrate and was retained as his master. He is in charge of both money, valley and criminal name, and he has no knowledge of the local situation.

They are very familiar. They have been in Bazhou, the capital city, for three days. They came in a carriage from the county government. In addition to the two of them, there was a groom. The name of the innkeeper is Jia.

In addition, through chatting, he also found out some basic information about Bazhou and Yinling County, the main figures in the county government in Yinling County, the main squires, celebrities and large households in the county, the county's fiscal revenue, and even some basic rules of officialdom

etc.

It was not until midnight that Mr. Dong and Shopkeeper Jia were drunk and snoring on the table. Leng Yi then asked the store clerk to help them out.

The horse-faced waiter from earlier also changed his face to a smiling face and brought hot water for Leng Yi to wash up. He also made a cup of hot tea for them to sober up.

Leng Yi stretched out his waist with contentment, put on an official air, and stabbed the horse-faced waiter: "Take a lantern and let it light up for this county. This county is going to the latrine to pay homage."

"Yes, yes!" The horse-faced waiter quickly took a lantern, held it up, and lit it from the side and front, and accompanied Leng Yi out downstairs and toward the backyard.

Just as he walked to the back door, a middle-aged man came face to face with his head lowered and walked towards Leng Yi. Leng Yi quickly got out of the way and said to him: "Old man, it's dark here, be careful."

The middle-aged man stopped, slowly raised his head, glanced at him, lowered his head again, and walked past him.

The middle-aged man walked to a corner of the hall and sat down at a square table. On the table were a plate of cooked beef, a plate of beans, a wine cup, a wine glass and a pair of chopsticks.

The middle-aged man picked up his chopsticks, put a bean into his mouth, chewed it, looked at the wine glass on the table, and looked towards the backyard from the corner of his eye.

The nightlife in the Song Dynasty was already very rich, with all-night night markets. This inn was relatively large in Bazhou, and the lobby downstairs also served as a night market, so even though it was already midnight, there were still a lot of people in the lobby. Half of them

The seats were still full. But many people were a little drunk and talking loudly.

After a while, the horse-faced waiter accompanied Leng Yi back from the backyard. Leng Yi stamped his feet and said: "Oh, although the rain is not heavy, it has been raining all day, and the ground is full of mud. You should also

Clean up this yard, look at the mud in this county!"

The horse-faced waiter smiled apologetically and said, "Yes, yes, the master is right. I'll tell the shopkeeper tomorrow to take care of it."

Leng Yi snorted in his nostrils, imitating the manner of the official in the movies and TV shows, shaking the sleeves of his robe, pacing up and down the stairs, then holding up the hem of his robe, he stood firmly on the stairs.

Went upstairs.

A kind of confusion appeared in the eyes of the middle-aged man in the lobby, which was confusion about a question that he couldn't figure out. He slowly raised his head, looked at Leng Yi's back, and went to the upper room in the back, and then turned his eyes

Hang down, pick up the wine glass, and pour yourself a glass of wine until the pot of wine is drained, which is when the bill is settled.

After checking out, the middle-aged man slowly went upstairs. He also lived here.

Going up to the second floor, the middle-aged man walked along the long corridor, passing by the upper rooms without stopping, until he reached Leng Yi's door, stopped, and glanced back from the corner of his eyes.

There was no one behind him. He turned around, reached the door, raised his hand and knocked lightly.

There were footsteps inside, and then the door opened.

Leng Yi stood at the door, looking at the middle-aged man with a fearful expression: "It's you?!"

The middle-aged man stepped in, closed the door behind him, looked at Leng Yi, with a look of surprise and joy on his lips, and said, "Were you pretending to be dead earlier?"

Leng Yi looked at him and said nothing.

The middle-aged man walked to the round table and sat down with his hands behind his back. He ignored Leng Yi, like a cheetah passing by a poor lamb destined to have nowhere to escape.

The middle-aged man looked at Leng Yi and said slowly: "It seems that you are also a smart man. Since you hid it from me by pretending to be dead, you should run away quickly. Why are you still here? - Oh, you thought you had hid it from me.

I thought I believed you were really dead, so I left

I won’t come back after leaving here. It’s safer for you to stay here, right? Unexpectedly, I haven’t left. I originally wanted to stay in this cold winter month, so I would just stay in this inn for one night and then leave tomorrow. It seems that I am staying here.

If you keep it right, it’s not as good as God’s calculation. Hehe.”

Leng Yi looked at him but still said nothing.

The middle-aged man said: "Okay, since you're not dead, that's great, let's continue. You must have had enough of my tricks, and it's really better to die, right? Although you are very tough and refuse to tell the truth, but

, I believe you will change your mind, right?"

"What do you want me to say?" Leng Yi finally spoke, his voice trembling.

The middle-aged man frowned and said, "Why bother? Haven't you tried enough of my methods of extracting confessions? Let me tell you, the previous methods are just the beginning, and there are still many methods that have not been used yet!" After that, he stood up.

He got up, walked in front of Leng Yi, raised a finger, and pointed at Leng Yi's Tanzhong point, "You were under my finger last time and pretended to be dead. Let's continue what we did before."

I ask one last time - where is the thing?"

Leng Yi was even more frightened. He took a step back and leaned his back against the door. He had no way to retreat.

The middle-aged man looked at Leng Yi and saw that he still had no intention of speaking. He sighed: "You are still very stubborn and don't say anything. I admire you! Then I can only continue to torture you!" With a swish of his finger, he poked Leng Yi.

On Yi's Tanzhong point.

A low and short scream suddenly came out of the middle-aged man's mouth, because his finger seemed to have been poked on a stone slab, and his finger was almost broken!

Almost at the same time, he had already received a heavy punch from Leng Yi in the stomach.

The middle-aged man never imagined that the county magistrate, who had been tortured by him until he was like a dead dog, could actually punch such a heavy punch, and it was so fast and violent that he didn't even have time to resist, and was hit in the stomach, causing immediate pain.

He collapsed on the ground, curled up, and began to vomit. He vomited out the cooked beef and fried beans that he had just eaten and had not had time to digest.

Leng Yi's favorite sport, besides free fighting, is rock climbing. He took part in this extreme sport with great interest when it first emerged in China, and became a leader in it. This not only trained his agility, but also made him

His hands possessed amazing strength. They could easily crush hard walnuts and penetrate thick wooden boards. Therefore, this punch caused the middle-aged man to convulse and vomit on the spot.

The strength of the middle-aged man's finger was also amazing, but it could not hurt him because he was wearing a special steel plate bulletproof vest under his official robe. When he traveled through time, he was on a mission to rescue the hostages, because the other party had firearms.

Therefore, the criminal policemen who perform rescue missions also wear bulletproof vests.

When he was going downstairs to the latrine, the middle-aged man he met was the one who first rushed into the house when he was crying and looked at him in shock and disbelief. Later he knew that this man was not him.

How could a person look like that? So he paid attention. After the other party came in, he pretended to be afraid, paralyzed him, and then used a bulletproof vest to resist, successfully subduing him.

He sneered, grabbed the middle-aged man's hands and feet, clicked them a few times, and twisted and dislocated the joints of his hands and feet.

Leng Yi squatted down and began to search his body. He found a few pieces of silver and a short knife. There was nothing that could be used for identification.

He put the blade of the short knife on the middle-aged man's neck and said, "Who are you? What are you looking for here?"

The man said: "Your Excellency turns out to be a secretive person. I was mistaken. Since I fell into your hands, I have nothing to say. However, don't expect to pry anything out of my mouth."

"

Let me tell you, my whole body twitched a few times and then stopped moving.

Leng Yi was shocked and opened his mouth, only to see the dark liquid filling his mouth. There was a pungent smell. He checked his pulse and pupils again and confirmed that he was dead. It seemed that this man had poisonous pills in his mouth. The key was

Then he bit it into pieces and committed suicide.
