Shen Dalang held the fish bone in his hand and kept licking the juice on it. Seeing that Mr. Song came back slowly, he hurriedly stood up and asked, "Mr. Four is back. Have you ever found out what you have found after you have been there for half a day?"

Mr. Song sat at the table, his face calmly, and said to Shen Dalang: "We can't stay here. You can clean up and leave."

Shen Dalang was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Second Duke, why is this? Although Ma Daguan is a little cold to us, he has food and accommodation here, and he is as strong as running around. After a few days, the turmoil is not so tight. We brothers will do some business with the Fourth Duke, how many good days will it take!"

Song Sigong sighed: "Originally, Yongcheng is located next to the Bian River, which is very lively. This area is sandwiched between the two rivers, with few people and households, so it is convenient to hide its traces. I wanted to live here. However, Ma Meng didn't take me seriously, but I was afraid that I still had bad intentions. I followed the woman to the dock and watched her go into the inspection village next to me. You know, I committed a crime in Tokyo, so what else could that woman do when she entered the inspection village? She had to leave. Don't worry, this time we went to Qing County and went to Yangzhou along the Wo River. I have gold and silver here, and I am happy all the way. When I get there, I am far from the capital, and there is no good life!"

Shen Dalang and his other people were so poor that they heard that they had a good life, so they were naturally willing to do so. They packed up their things and walked out of the house with Mr. Song. Looking around, they looked around, and they didn't know where they were going, and they couldn't help but feel confused.

The old nun here has been chanting Buddha's name in the house, and he has never been exposed since Mr. Song and others came here. At this time, the few people were making noise, and the old nun was still in the house, concentrating on chanting Buddha's name. If Mr. Song had not heard the sound of Mr. Song and others chanting Buddha's name in there, he would have doubted if there was such a person in the house.

After looking around, Shen Dalang said to Song Si: "Second Duke, are we leaving like this?"

After saying that, he pointed to the room and signaled that there was an old nun inside, maybe he was watching several people.

Song Sigong looked back, expressionless, and said in a deep voice: "You go to the woodshed to light a fire and burn it to white ground. If we leave like this, it will inevitably arouse Ma Meng's suspicion and burn it all!"

After hearing this, Shen Dalang couldn't help but tremble. He had always had a business with his brothers without any charge, but he had never done such a thing as killing and setting fires when he had a disagreement. He had seen Song Sigong as a thin old man, and he didn't say much, and he even looked down on him a little, but he didn't expect to be so cruel.

Song Sigong's face was gloomy. Once a person changed direction and thought about things, many bad ideas were aroused. I remembered that he first arrived in Bozhou and introduced Ma Meng to Ma Meng, one by one, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that these few birds were afraid that they had no good intentions from the beginning.

Once a veteran of the Sigong of Song was ruthless, he could do anything. He immediately packed up his burden and asked Shen Dalang and the other two to go into the woodshed, and then lit a fire and blocked the door.

County Magistrate Cheng took his archer, bypassed the main road, followed the direction pointed by Tan Erniang, and came all the way to the Ma family's Fo Temple. While he was rushing deep and shallow in the wasteland, the archer in front suddenly shouted: "County Magistrate, you see, the fire is on there, isn't it the place we are going?"

County Magistrate Cheng glanced at it and shouted: "No! There is only one family here, let's go to put out the fire!"

With the guidance of the fire, Cheng County Magistrate and his party were much faster and soon arrived at the place where the Buddha Temple was. The fire was so bright that the small grass temple had long become a sea of ​​fire and could not be approached at all.

Several archers were busy putting out the fire, but it was useless. One archer said, "I don't know if there is anyone inside. The fire is so big, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive. Oh, it's not too early or too late, but the fire broke out at this time."

County Magistrate Cheng had a dark face and didn't speak, but just watched everywhere. His sharp eyes saw the traces of someone walking in the reeds, and hurriedly ordered the archers: "Save someone here to watch the fire, and the others follow me there to chase after me. Tan Erniang said that four big men lived here, and it was unreasonable that they would not put out the fire. In this case, most of them escaped!"

After saying that, he took a few archers and chased after Song Sigong and his men escaped.

Tan Erniang was in a state of peace in the inspection camp, and she was afraid that Ma Daguan was blamed for escaping and delaying the removal of the Fo'an. She was an honest woman and didn't understand many things. Until now, who is a good person and a bad person, and what happened is all confused.

Du Zhongxiao asked Jin Shu to summon several wives of the inspectors' wives to accompany Tan Erniang and stay in the village, not allowing her to go back. Tan Erniang was unsteady and always felt panicked.

After waiting for an hour or two, County Magistrate Cheng hurriedly returned.

When he arrived in front of Du Zhongxiao, the county magistrate Cheng said angrily: "We were late. A fire broke out in the Buddha temple and burned into white ground. The men who arrived yesterday had already escaped. I took them for two miles and saw no trace of them. I was afraid that the officials would be anxious, so I ordered a few archers to chase after them and I would go back to the village first."

Du Zhongxiao asked, "There is an old nun in the Buddha's temple. There is a fire there. What's wrong with her?"

County Magistrate Cheng sighed: "Where can anyone escape like that? Old Ni is afraid he has been buried in the fire."

After hearing this, Du Zhongxiao couldn't help but frown. After only a few minutes, another murder occurred, and the matter became more and more serious. After walking back and forth for a while, Du Zhongxiao turned around and ordered Jin Shuzhao: "Kongmu, don't wait, let Ma Meng come to inspect the village!"

Jin Shu summoned Yingnuo, thought for a while, and asked, "Did you send soldiers to capture him?"

Du Zhongxiao waved his hand: "No need. I just want to count the households today and ask him to come to the inspection village to ask questions. As long as people arrive here, we will deal with it at will. His village is very strong, and he will rashly send people to the village and only send them will cause conflicts."

Jin Shu summoned the promise and went out to make arrangements urgently.

After thinking about it, Du Zhongxiao said to County Magistrate Cheng again: "The three people escaped, and the fire was probably released by them. You can arrange people immediately to guard the Bian River Ferry in this area and not allow them to escape to the other side of the river. Then, Wenqing County, strictly check them, and do not leave them. There are no people in this area, where can they hide? Take these three people and a lot of things will be done."

The Cheng County Magistrate took the order and took his men there. This area is under the jurisdiction of Yongcheng, and the elders and archers in the countryside are all under the name of the Cheng County Magistrate.

After giving the order, Du Zhongxiao sat down behind the case and was alone in a daze. After carefully rectifying the whole thing, he was still helpless. Several cases revolved around Ma Meng. Based on intuition alone, he knew that Ma Meng was probably the core figure of the illegal and criminal acts in this area. But the bad thing was that there was no direct evidence related to him in all cases. Not to mention Tao Shiqi's case, Lu Yuhou died and there was no witness. After many years, the key figure Tan Erniang was confused. As long as Ma Meng bit him to death, it was a business dispute, he could not do anything to him. Fo'an clearly stated that Ma Meng was hiding a fugitive, but he didn't take the person. Ma Meng could not tell him. Without evidence, how could you do this rural tyrant?
