Chapter 18 I am an honest man!
A few days later in the morning.
Zhao Wanjun, also known as Zhao Siya, hurried to the cell.
A fierce thief appeared in the capital these days. She chased him day and night for several days but failed to catch him.
After working hard for several nights, Zhao Wanjun was in a very bad state. He originally wanted to go home to rest, but when he thought of the two people who were brought back to the yamen, he came to the yamen anyway.
She thought:
Will those two guys start fighting again after being let go?
Before I left, I didn't say that these two people would be detained, so who knows which bailiff might have let them go.
What she didn't know was that the confused yamen runners really took Li Yuan and Bald Liu to the cell.
As he walked into the yamen, Zhao Wanjun was thinking in his heart.
Zhao Wanjun knew Bald Liu. He had a fierce and stubborn temper!
If she hadn't saved Bald Liu's mother back then, causing Bald Liu to remember her kindness and restrain himself in this area, the people nearby would have been tormented long ago!
However, she, Zhao Wanjun, caught those petty villains time and time again. According to the laws of the Qian Kingdom, they would be detained for a period of time, but would eventually be released!
Even the prison guards were polite to Bald Liu Ke and did not dare to offend him because they had family members in the city and were afraid that their family members would be harassed by hooligans!
And the young man who was always talking nonsense looked weak and lazy, and it was obvious that he was in poor health.
I don’t know what happened to Bald Liu that day, he actually surrendered to that young man!
If a fight broke out between those physiques, wouldn’t the young man be killed with one punch?
I hope that after they are released, those two won’t have conflicts again!
Zhao Wanjun shook his head and rubbed his tired eyes.
She was certain that the bailiff had let the two go, but she was a little worried, so she came over to ask.
"Hey, Xiao Hu, have the bald Liu and the other young man I brought back that day been released?"
Zhao Wanjun met a yamen runner on duty and asked casually.
The yamen runner named Xiao Hu widened his eyes:
"Let go? Let go of what?"
Zhao Wanjun suddenly had a bad feeling.
"You wouldn't put them in jail, would you?"
Xiao Hu nodded:
"Every time you catch that bald Liu, he's locked up for a few days. This time is no exception...right?"
As he spoke, Xiao Hu's tone weakened a bit.
Because he saw that Zhao Wanjun's face was a little dark.
Zhao Wanjun sighed and said, "It's okay for Bald Liu Guan to stay for a few days."
"But the young man who looked weak at first sight should not be locked up..."
Xiao Hu exclaimed "Ah" in surprise, a little at a loss.
Zhao Wanjun shook his head: "This is my fault. A serious crime happened that day, and I was in a hurry and didn't have time to tell you about them."
Xiao Hu shrugged: "The city magistrate doesn't take care of things, and many cases fall on you. The capital is so big, you can't handle it all, but there's nothing we can do..."
Zhao Wanjun stopped chatting with him and hurried to the cell.
The cells are closely connected, these two should not start fighting again!
The young man had a serious look on his face, and it was obvious that he couldn't take a beating!
If the fierce bald Liu accidentally kills the weak young man, it will be a big problem!
Thinking this in his mind, Zhao Wanjun hurried to the prison cell of the yamen.
"bump!"
A loud shout came from the cell.
Zhao Wanjun was shocked!
bump?
What happened? Are they really fighting?
She walked three steps faster.
"Bar!"
Another loud shout was heard.
Zhao Wanjun was extremely anxious!
Dry?
This must be a fight!
She rushed to the cell door and said, "Stop it!"
In the cell, a wooden table was moved between the two cells.
The four people sitting around the wooden table turned their heads.
There were still smiles on their faces.
In their hands, they held square pieces of wood with various patterns carved on them.
Li Yuan was so thin that he could even squeeze through the gap in the wooden fence.
At this moment, he stood halfway outside the cell, hesitated for a moment, and still shouted: "It's a mess!"
"Give me money!"
Zhao Wanjun's eyes widened and for a moment he even forgot what he was here for.
She was extremely angry: Those two jailers were actually playing with the prisoners?
Since money is involved, could it be bribery?
The two jailers looked at each other, then looked at Zhao Wanjun who was standing at the prison door.
"Um... that, Zhao Siya, we..."
The jailer looked at Zhao Wanjun's face which had turned a little black, and didn't care whether Li Yuan was confused or not, so he hurriedly started to explain.
Li Yuan was not in a hurry either, and reminded: "Care for the prisoners' body and mind, boost their spirits..."
"Yes, yes, yes!" The two guards nodded repeatedly, "Sir Zhao, we are caring for the prisoners' body and mind, and boosting... uh, the atmosphere in that cell!"
"Use fun to break into the hearts of prisoners and build a loving prison cell!"
"You think we are having fun, but actually we are attacking your heart!"
The two jailers became more and more confident as they spoke.
Zhao Wanjun pointed in front of Li Yuan with her bare hand: "Where did the money in front of him come from?"
"How dare you gamble privately?!"
The guards panicked again: "This, this..."
The playthings on the table were a set of mahjong made under Li Yuan's instructions.
Bald Liu Jingjing sat in the cell next to him, and said through the wooden fence: "Didn't Master Xiaoyao tell you?"
"You are trying the criminal in a roundabout way, using money to knock on our hearts and confuse our minds..."
Bald Liu reminded the jailer with disdain.
"Yes, yes, yes!" The two jailers trembled and repeated Bald Liu's words.
Zhao Wanjun gritted her teeth, her face full of black lines: "Get out!"
The two jailers ran out trembling with fear.
Li Yuan suddenly became anxious: "Hey, I haven't paid you yet!"
"My heart is almost open!"
Zhao Wanjun walked over and kicked over the wooden table.
Fortunately, Li Yuan was quick-witted and quickly took all the copper coins and silver he earned into his arms.
The wooden table fell over and the crude wooden mahjong tiles fell to the ground.
Bald Liu looked at Zhao Wanjun with complicated eyes, without any arrogance towards ordinary people.
"How dare you two bribe the jailers!" Zhao Wanjun was almost furious.
She was busy for several days and nights without closing her eyes, and then she hurried to the yamen to ask whether the two men had been released.
As a result, he was locked up due to misunderstanding by the yamen runners!
That would be fine, but these two even started gambling privately with the prison guards!
Looking at the look on his face, I would have thought he was an old friend I’ve known for years!
Li Yuan curled his lips and said, "What do you mean by bribe? Didn't I say that you can open our hearts with money..."
Zhao Wanjun sneered: "Nonsense, who do you think will believe it?"
Li Yuan spread his hands and said, "I believe it!"
As he said this, he glanced at Bald Liu again.
Bald Liu suddenly recalled the fight between the two big guys a few days ago and shuddered.
"I...I believe it too!" Bald Liu's voice was low but firm.
Zhao Wanjun touched his head, feeling a severe headache, and was speechless for a while.
Not wanting to chat with them, she looked at Li Yuan:
"Regarding the fight in front of the city gate, I only brought you back to question you. I shouldn't have imprisoned you in the prison."
"Although it was caused by a misunderstanding on the part of the yamen runners, it is also my fault. I apologize to you."
Zhao Wanjun clasped his hands together, performed the Qian State salute, and bowed deeply.
"If you are angry, just speak up and I will do my best to make it up to you."
Zhao Wanjun spoke sincerely.
Li Yuan scratched his head, feeling a little overwhelmed.
So he was in jail these days because of a misunderstanding?
"Oh, forget it. Now that things have come to this, just let me out first."
That’s all Li Yuan could say.
Bald Liu glanced at Li Yuan and said to Zhao Wanjun:
"I think you should also know, Zhao Siya, that I was wrong!"
"I provoked Master Xiaoyao and got slapped in the face. It's my fault for not having eyes and provoking someone I shouldn't have provoked!"
"I take full responsibility!"
Bald Liu did not feel ashamed and spoke frankly.
"Also, Master Xiaoyao and I have reconciled."
"You also said that the imprisonment was a misunderstanding, so let Master Xiaoyao go immediately."
Zhao Wanjun looked at Li Yuan.
Li Yuan counted the money in his arms, looking lazy:
"He has admitted that he is fully responsible, why are you looking at me?"
"I am an honest man!"
Zhao Wanjun took a deep breath and raised his eyebrows slightly.
But he didn't say anything.
Half an hour later.
Li Yuan and Bald Liu stood at the door of the yamen, looking towards the prison cells, even feeling a little reluctant.
The prison guard’s money is so easy to win!
Those two jailers were also unlucky.
I was tricked into making a mahjong set, and now I have lost money and am now being punished.
Zhao Wanjun looked at the two of them with a frosty face:
"Regarding the fight, since Bald Liu admitted his fault, I won't ask any more questions. But..."
"If I find out that you are colluding with the guards or gambling interests after you get out, I will personally take you back to the prison!"
She was very angry about the private gambling between the jailers and the prisoners.
Although Li Yuan is not a real criminal, if this trend starts, it will probably lead to serious consequences.
So, she also sternly warned the two of them.
Li Yuan waved his hand nonchalantly: "I am an honest man, I will definitely not come again!"
Bald Liu saluted Li Yuan with his fists clasped.
He said frankly that if Li Yuan needed his help in the capital of Qian Kingdom, he only needed to find someone in the alleys to pass the message.
After saying that, he hurried home to visit his mother.
Li Yuan walked out of the yamen and stretched.
To express his apology, Zhao Wanjun accompanied him all the way to the gate of the yamen.
No matter how clumsy Li Yuan is, he is still a god with very strong sensing ability.
I just subconsciously released my spiritual sense and "saw" some traces.
Li Yuan thought about it, hesitated for a while, and looked back at the exhausted Zhao Wanjun:
"Is there someone in your government office so dedicated that he would repair the roof despite being injured?"
Zhao Wanjun had dark circles under his eyes and was feeling very sleepy.
Hearing this, she couldn't help rubbing her brows, slightly opened her tired eyelids, and asked, "What do you mean?"
Li Yuan pointed to the top of his head and said, "Someone must have been in this room last night, leaving behind bloody footprints."
Zhao Wanjun stared at Li Yuan, who looked empty-headed, for a long time and frowned:
"Do you really have a brain disease? Why do you always talk nonsense?"
"Who dares to climb this important place..."
At this point, Zhao Wanjun's expression changed again: "Wait, you said bloody footprints?"
"Are you talking nonsense? You were just released from the cell!"
She suddenly became alert, and her whole demeanor changed, like a hunter who smelled the blood of her prey, with a serious expression.
Li Yuan scratched his head as he looked at Zhao Wanjun's sudden change in expression.
He suddenly felt that he shouldn't say too much, so as not to get involved in the cause and effect of the mortal world...
"Um...believe it or not, I am an honest man anyway!"
Li Yuan didn't want to be involved in the affairs of mortals, so he left after saying a few words.
Zhao Wanjun was left standing at the gate of the yamen, his face looking gloomy and uncertain.
After Li Yuan walked away, she straightened her face and said, "Someone, go up to the roof and take a look!"
Several yamen runners immediately responded and carried the ladder up to the house.
Let’s talk about Li Yuan.
After being detained for several days in confusion, he was finally released from prison.
As the mountain god of other regions, it is time for him to do some real work.
That was the first thing he should do after traveling to a new place.
Pay a visit to the local mountain god.
When Li Yuan thought of the mountain god here, he remembered that frivolous laughter.
Suddenly, he felt a little itchy.
