Chu Qiangzhi was also too shocked, so he asked this question casually. He asked Liu Li and Liu Chengzhen whether they would sell human meat steamed buns. In fact, it was like asking whether the Liu family father and son were murderers. What answer could Liu Xiuya give him? Then he would definitely say no!

Liu Xiuya said anxiously: "The civilian woman has never said such words to Shang Wenbin. This is all fabricated by Shang Wenbin in order to cover up his crimes. He threw dirty water on the civilian woman, making him look innocent!"

Li Rizhi stepped forward and said, "County Master, the student thought that as long as the confession of the Liu family father and son was obtained, the case of Wang Yanxue and Wenbin could be resolved. Otherwise, the case might be delayed again and again, and even the original verdict could only be maintained. If the Liu family father and son were captured in another place after a few years, it would be even more troublesome."

Li Rizhi said it quite tactfully, because the case has been sentenced, so if the case cannot be reversed immediately, Shang Wenbin will be executed after a while. If the Liu family father and son commit the case again in the future and are caught by other local officials, and ask about it, it will be equivalent to indirectly proving that Shang Wenbin's case is an unjust case, and it is too late to make up for it at that time.

Chu Qiangzhi burst into cold sweats. Li Rizhi said it was right. Now he was overturning the case himself. He was the case he took the wrong one himself. It would not be embarrassing. But if Shang Wenbin was cut off and the case was overturned by someone else, Shang Wenbin would not survive. His years of official reputation would be ruined. For him, this would be unacceptable.

Chu Qiangzhi did not dare to hesitate anymore. He slapped the auspicious tree and said, "The criminal's wife, Jin Liu, was imprisoned, and Shang Wenbin was still imprisoned in the death jail. Gather all the servants in the county and go with me to arrest the Liu family father and son!"

Liu Xiuya naturally panicked. She kept shouting for wrongdoing, but no one listened to her. Aunt Shang and Shang Wenbin and his son were both surprised and happy. Unexpectedly, the county magistrate could make up his mind so quickly to arrest the Liu family father and son directly. If Liu Li and Liu Chengzhen could be captured, Shang Wenbin could be re-convicted. At that time, it would definitely not be the death penalty.

The yamen runners came up to take Liu Xiuya away and took Shang Wenbin away. Chu Qiangzhi also asked someone to take the horses. He wanted to ride a horse to arrest the Liu family father and son. The yamen runners in Huayin County also gathered together. In addition to the civil servants, there were fifty or sixty yamen runners who could use weapons to catch thieves!

Li Rizhi stepped forward and said, "County Master, students are not talented, and although they are not capable enough, they are willing to help the County Master with one hand. I hope the County Master allows students to follow!"

Chu Qiangzhi looked at Li Rizhi and Fu Guibao, nodded, suddenly pointed at Fu Guibao with a smile, and said, "He can do things in front of the formation, so that the Liu family's father and son cannot escape!"

Fu Guibao laughed and said, "The student is fake. He is more than enough to deal with Liu Xiuya. It is not enough to deal with her father and brother!"

Chen Yingying said, "You are fresh and tender. The Liu family's father and son like human buns the most. How could they not like you!"

Fu Guibao glared and said, "My flesh..."

"Your meat is made into meat patties, and after being eaten, it turns into shit and falls into the pit!" Chen Yingying said without any ladylike demeanor.

Fu Guibao said angrily: "Don't interrupt me, I mean my meat is not delicious, I can eat something like you if I want it, so I have little hair!"

Amid their quarrels, everyone left the Huayin County Government, and the crowd left the city in a mighty manner and rushed to the inn opened by Liu Li.

After leaving the city, I didn't take long to walk, and then I arrived near the dock by the river. The river was directly connected to the north and south. There were hundreds of large ships on the river. There were countless cargo loading and unloading here every day. It was a very prosperous place. If I opened a business here, it would be difficult not to make money.

In terms of scale, the inn opened by Liu Li is not the largest in Huayin County. It may not even be in the top ten, but the business is extremely good. The inn is only a few dozen steps away from the dock. The constables almost knew about this inn and pointed it out to Chu Qiangzhi.

Chu Qiangzhi looked at the inn and felt that nothing was extraordinary. It was just an ordinary inn. It was just a thirty or forty rooms in size. He said, "Enclose the inn and go in and catch people directly. If you encounter resistance... don't hurt your life, don't care about anything else!"

When he gave the order, he hesitated for a moment. He originally wanted to say that he would kill him, but if Liu Li was not a big thief and Shang Wenbin was biting people randomly, wouldn't that be bad? So there was no need to kill people. But if the government handled the matter, if someone dared to resist, it would be necessary to teach some lessons.

So the constables immediately rushed into the inn and began to catch people.

Li Rizhi looked behind him, and turned his head and said to Fu Guibao and Cheng Zizai: "If that Liu Li is a real thief, then the officials will definitely not be able to catch him. You need to know that the cunning rabbit has three holes. How could there be no secret path in such a large inn? There must be other exits."

Fu Guibao looked around and shook his head and said, "I don't know where the exit is. I'm not good at this anymore. Now it seems too late to open a divination."

Cheng Zizai smiled and said, "I can't tell fortunes, but if you ask me about digging a hole, I still know a little bit. If there is really authenticity, digging a hole with a human and a beast, the idea is actually similar. The escape entrance must not be seen by natural enemies. When there is no need to escape entrance, you cannot let idle people discover it. This place is so lively, so the entrance must not be on land, and it must be by the river!"..

Everyone nodded after hearing this. It was ok. It should be by the river. The inn is not far from the river, and the water level of the river is lower than that of the inn. Therefore, as long as the tunnel exit is by the river, it will not be discovered by idle people. If someone in the inn escapes, he just needs to enter the river and he will definitely be able to escape.

Just like now, although the constables surrounded the inn, no one paid attention to the riverside. If Liu Li was a thief in the river, he only needed to enter the river. It would be too easy to escape. Maybe Liu Li was retreating into the secret passage now!

Cheng Zizai observed for a while and said, "There is a concave shape by the river. If it were me, then the secret passage opening must be placed here!"

When Li Rizhi saw that there was a concave on the shore about a hundred steps away from the pier, which made the originally smooth shore as if it had been bitten. It was not big and not suitable for stopping the boat. It was a bit far from the pier, and there was not a single boat nearby. If there was really a secret passage, then it was very suitable to open the mouth there, not too far, but the distance was enough to leave the encirclement!

Several people trotted all the way to the concave plot, and took off their clothes and jumped off the river with a thud. The river on the bank was not deep, and at most it could pass through their chests. Even those who could not swim could not be said to be too dangerous. Of course, Liu Li must be able to swim.

Cheng Zizai looked at it for a moment and smiled, "There is a hole here, but it seems to be a little smaller. Oh, it is blocked by something. A small part of the hole is on the water surface and is blocked by stones. If you don't look carefully, it's easy to ignore it!"

Li Ri knew: "It seems that the Liu family's father and son have not escaped yet!"

But just as I was talking, there were sounds of fighting from the inn. The place where Li Rizhi and the others stood was about a hundred steps away from the inn. This distance was not close. There could be a sound of fighting coming so far, so it was obviously a fierce battle scene!

It is estimated that there are many people like Rangers or thieves in the inn. This is a convenient place to transport and an inn run by Liu Li. The criminals naturally have to regard this place as a den. The official suddenly came to arrest him and was caught off guard. He saw that he could not escape. It would be fine. Of course, the thieves had to resist. There was no doubt about this.

After a while, he made a free thrust and then dived into the water. Li Rizhi and Fu Guibao immediately searched on the shore. The shore was clean, and there were no tree sticks or anything, but there were still some stones. Both of them picked up some stones and held them in their hands. Even Chen Yingying raised a big stone, a stone as big as a human head, ready, staring at the water surface!

Suddenly, with a thud, a man's head appeared out of the water. It looked like the head of a big man. The man exposed himself out of the water. He first spit out a mouthful of river water, then reached out to wipe the water on his face, trying to open his eyes!

But before his eyes opened, Li Rizhi, Fu Guibao and Chen Yingying smashed the stones in his hands together. They were all standing on the shore. The big man in the river had just crawled out of the cave, only a few steps away from the shore. It was so close that the stones would be incomparable!

Bang, the big man was hit in the head, and bang, and twice again. The big man screamed twice, and blood was bursting from his head, and he was about to drill into the water again, but the fourth stone hit his head again. The stone was a little bigger. Chen Yingying raised his hands and threw it over. It was not very accurate, but it was also a sloppy hit!

No matter how powerful the man was, even if he had practiced the iron-headed skill, he could not hold on with such a heavy blow. He fell down to the sky and the earth, his eyes turned pale. I guess if he could not wake up immediately, he would choke him to death!

At this time, suddenly another head came out of water, but it was an old man with gray hair. The old man's movements were similar to the big man in front of him. He also exposed his head first, spit out a sip of water, and then wiped the water on his face. The old man had another move than the big man. It seemed that he was anxious to speak. He probably wanted to ask the big man in the first place why he called him, be careful to attract the official officer!

But as soon as the old man opened his mouth, his body suddenly fell down, as if someone was holding his waist and dragging him into the water, he instantly entered the water again!

Chen Yingying said happily: "It must be the junior brother, it must be the junior brother. It seems that no one will come out of the cave. This is the father and son of the Liu family!"

Fu Guibao said, "Junior brother, you are also called Junior brother? You are so embarrassed!"

Li Rizhi and Fu Guibao took off their clothes and kicked their shoes together, jumped into the water, first dragged the big man to the ashore, and then helped Cheng Zizai. After a while, the old man also dragged the old man to the shore, but the two of them were already unconscious at this time. The old man was better, but he just choked some water, but the big man was in trouble, his head was covered in blood, and then he choked a lot of water.

Chen Yingying shouted at the inn, "Come here, come here, County Magistrate Chu, come here quickly, the Liu family father and son are here, there is a secret passage here!"

She shouted too loudly and coughed a few times. However, Chu Qiangzhi in the distance heard that the fight had just ended. Dozens of yamen runners caught seven or eight big men, all tied up, but there were no Liu family father and son among the seven or eight people.

Chu Qiangzhi was still wondering, the inn was surrounded by people, and they came suddenly, why did the Liu family and his son run away? Who sent them a letter? Could it be that there was a traitor in the yamen to inform the Liu family and his son?

However, it is not worth it to be a traitor to the Liu family and his son. What are the Liu family and his sons?

Suddenly, I heard someone shouting in the distance. Chu Qiangzhi looked to the shore and saw Chen Yingying and Li Rizhi, and saw them dragging two people from the river.

Chu Qiangzhi said with a roar, pointed to the shore, and shouted to the yamen runners: "Over there, go over and take a look, I will also go there!"

After running and storming, Chu Qiangzhi brought a group of yamen runners to the shore. Some yamen runners shouted: "This is Liu Li, but this is not his son, this person, ah, this person is a wanted criminal!"
Chapter completed!
