"Detention for half a year?"

The dark-faced man was quietly shocked, thinking that Lin Xi's words were strange.

"It seems that Lin Xi is indeed a student that adults value. He is brave and wise." On the contrary, Peng Xiaofeng, who was kicked at this moment, looked at Lin Xi with a bit more real respect. Just looking at Lin Xi at this moment

From the look on his face and the explanation he just gave, he knew that Lin Xi was not the kind of dandy who had a backer but was ignorant and unskilled.

"Someone from the arrest house is here."

"Even if the people who wanted to arrest Zhu Si came over, I'm afraid the people who wanted to arrest Zhu Si wouldn't dare to do anything."

At this time, Lin Xi heard some comments in his ears. He turned around and saw a middle-aged policeman with a square face and a stern face walking quickly in Langfang along the river.

He had never seen an agent in Lulin Town before, and the pamphlet Mu Qing gave him did not include any instructions on the clothing of the arresting room. But at this moment, the middle-aged agent was wearing a blue robe with a small robe in the middle of his chest.

The big word "catching" could not be clearer. Lin Xi saw that this man was not wearing any hat, but was wearing a waist knife.

This waist knife looks much shorter than the long sword of the frontier army, and is only slightly longer than the "chopping knife" commonly called among the frontier army, but it looks much thinner.

The agent Lin Xi was looking at was none other than Xu Jianling, the oldest arrest arrest officer in Donggang Town.

Xu Jianling was from Mengdong Town in the upper reaches of the Xizijiang River. He had been a policeman in Donggang Town for seventeen years. Ever since Zhang Tiping was transferred to the police a few months ago, he felt that it was his turn. Once he was promoted to a policeman, he would officially become a policeman.

Once you have obtained an official rank and are registered in the official department, in addition to the fact that all your merits will not be recorded incorrectly, if there are vacancies in the surrounding yamen, it is very possible to fill them.

For Xu Jianling, being promoted to a higher position and being arrested was equivalent to jumping from the dragon gate to the official road in one step.

But what he never expected was that the superiors did not indirectly appoint him as the arrester, but indirectly transferred someone to put pressure on him. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, so his mood was

Unspeakably bad.

Hearing that someone was causing trouble in Haiwan Alley today, it made the day unable to pass quietly. It was like sprinkling some salt on his wounds, making him feel even more unhappy, so he had a special look on his face when he walked up.

Turn blue.

"It's you?"

Just glancing at the black-faced man and seeing the broken tofu on the ground, he immediately understood what was going on. He waved his hand to the black-faced man extremely impatiently and said, "Liu Tong, don't make trouble here. Give me as far away as you can."

Go as far as you can."

"Brother Xu, how dare I make trouble here? It's just some misunderstanding." Liu Tong is also a smart person. When he saw that Xu Jianling's face and tone were very wrong, he knew that there was something unhappy in his heart, so he immediately bowed his hands and turned around.

Gotta go.

Lin Xi was originally calm, watching how the detective dealt with it. From the whispers of some people around him just now, he also understood that this black-faced man must have some background, but now he saw that Xu Jianling didn't even ask about the situation, and just ignored him.

He impatiently asked Liu Tong to leave, and he frowned, but before he could say anything, the young man from the country who stood up for his righteousness and was kicked by Liu Tong until he couldn't breathe for a long time was already filled with anger.

He shouted: "Why, he hit someone's stall and hit someone, is that all he wants to do? Is this what the arrest room in Donggang Town does in broad daylight?"

In normal times, Xu Jianling would at least have a decent face and would not do things like this. But today, when he was in an extremely bad mood, when he heard this foreign young man drink, he became more and more irritable and squinted his eyes coldly.

He glanced at this foreign young man and said, "Why, do I still need your guidance when I'm working in the arresting room? I just see you here roaring and causing trouble. If you don't listen to the advice, you can be charged with disturbing the peace."

.”

The young man from outside the country was furious, "You are simply confusing right and wrong!"

Xu Jianling looked at the young man up and down and said coldly: "Then you don't want to listen to my advice? That's okay. You all will follow me back to the arresting room first, and we will interrogate him slowly first."

"Forget it, forget it..." At this time, many townspeople nearby were already advising the young man. If they were escorted back to the arrest room, who knows whether they would indirectly release the black-faced man, but then imprison him instead.

Wait, if you interrogate me for a few days, you will be at a disadvantage.

This young man obviously did not expect Xu Jianling to have such an attitude. He was so angry that he was trembling all over, but he was speechless.

Hearing this, Lin Xi, who had been silent until now, coughed quietly.

He felt a little embarrassed.

He and Peng Xiaofeng stood here, and no one paid attention to them for a moment.

After all, one of them was also a non-commissioned officer of Zhengwu Division, and the other was a student of Qingluan Academy... Seeing that his coughing finally attracted some people's attention, he clapped his hands again, looked at Xu Jianling and cleared his throat: "Hello, Mr. Detective."

He is decisive and acts vigorously and resolutely, but handling cases requires personal evidence and physical evidence. Look at the big footprints on my friend's chest. I guess the police officer can't say that it was my friend who committed a crime on his own.

Come here and shove it under Liu Tong’s feet, right?”

Hearing Lin Xi's voice and seeing Lin Xi's calm expression, Xu Jianling felt excited in his heart. After all, his seventeen years of hunting were not in vain. Knowing that he might encounter someone who would hurt him, he took a look at the footprints on Peng Xiaofeng's chest.

His face darkened, he looked at the black-faced man and said, "Liu Tong, it seems that you committed a crime on the street, and you will be fined three taels of silver."

When Liu Tong saw the change in Xu Jianling's face, he knew something was going to be bad. When he heard Xu Jianling say this, he knew that he could not disobey Xu Jianling's wishes at this moment, so he gritted his teeth, glared at Lin Xi fiercely, and took out three taels of broken pieces from his sleeve.

The silver was handed to Xu Jianling.

Xu Jianling said nothing and handed three taels of broken silver to Lin Xi.

Lin Xi didn't answer, just smiled, nodded to the foreigner, and said, "These three taels of silver should be given to him. We all saw Liu Tong knocking him to the ground."

Xu Jianling frowned and his face became a little ugly, but he still suppressed the anger in his heart and handed the three taels of broken silver to the foreign young man without saying anything.

The young man from outside the country originally turned his head and was waiting for it, but when he saw Lin Xi winking, he hesitated quietly and accepted the three taels of broken silver.

"There is also this tofu stall that was knocked over. Please bring justice to the police." Lin Xi smiled quietly, ordered some chopped tofu on the floor, and looked at Xu Jianling and said.

The tofu here is not worth much, but Peng Xiaofeng next to him still has a footprint on his chest. If he loses the tofu, Lin Xi might ask for another three taels of fine, which is too painful for Liu Tong.

Moreover, he did not have six taels of silver in total, and with his background, he quit now. With a straight face, he looked at Xu Jianling and said: "Brother Xu, I listened to everything you said.

But you can't ask me to pay for things that collide with each other. Look, my clothes are all scratched. Besides, they wanted to do it, so I did it. You'd better take us all back to make up for it.

Let the room review be clear."

Xu Jianling originally thought that Lin Xi had gone too far, and he would not offend Liu Tong's backer if he became more serious. When Liu Tong said this, he immediately turned down his face and said: "There is a collision between them.

Each has suffered losses, so how can one party compensate for it? Moreover, both of you have shortcomings, and I have punished him severely according to the law, so what do you want to do?"

"I don't want to do anything." Lin Xi looked at Xu Jianling and said flatly, "Have you really thought about it, stopped thinking about it, and just want to make such a decision?"

Xu Jianling was also completely angry, sneered and said: "I have already favored you, and you are still not satisfied. Do you want me to punish you for causing trouble in the street?"

"I wanted to give you a step up, but you didn't take it. I'm really disappointed."

Lin Xi shook his head and smiled quietly and said: "In that case, let's not talk about this tofu. Let's talk about the beating of officials of the Zhengwu Division. According to our Yunqin law, beating an officer, even if there is no injury, will result in a minimum of half a year's imprisonment.

Bar?"

"Official of the Zhengwu Division?" Upon hearing what Lin Xi said, Xu Jianling and Liu Tong's expressions suddenly changed, and their eyes fell on Peng Xiaofeng involuntarily.

Peng Xiaofeng had already understood Lin Xi's intention, so he didn't say much at the moment and just took out a brass waistband from his sleeve.

This brass waist badge has the word Zhengwu on the front, and the pattern of a war drum and a horse-mounted stone on the back.

"Just from the tenth grade?"

Once he saw the brass belt clearly, Xu Jianling calmed down, bowed and saluted, and said in a cold voice: "According to our Yunqin law, if an officer takes the initiative to cause trouble and takes action against civilians, his crime will be increased. Here.

Can anyone prove that he was just beaten?"

"I can prove it!"

The young foreigner next to him was overjoyed when he saw Peng Xiaofeng take out his Zhengwusi waist badge. He immediately shouted loudly and stepped forward.

"You have also implicated people in this matter. According to the law, you cannot testify." Xu Jianling glanced coldly at the onlookers, but none of them dared to speak out.

"It's not you who has the final say now, it's me who has the final say." However, Lin Xi did not discuss the witness issue with Xu Jianling at all. She smiled quietly and said: "I don't know if I remembered it wrong. According to my Yunqin law, as long as

My appointment letter has already arrived in Donggang Town, so I will be arrested in Donggang Town, and I will be able to start performing my duties after entering Donggang Town."

Peng Xiaofeng also cooperated and smiled quietly, saying: "Mr. Lin, you remember correctly, I, the late Emperor Qin, encouraged officials to secretly investigate the situation in the jurisdiction before taking office, and they have been able to perform their duties."

"Arrest in Donggang Town?"

Just hearing these five words from Lin Xi, Xu Jianling stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

This young man in green shirt is the new arrester who was transferred here?!

With a "boom", everyone onlookers realized what was going on, and there was an uproar.

"Sir, do you have proof?"

There was no trace of blood on Xu Jianling's face, and there was a thick layer of cold sweat on his back, but he still forced himself to calm down, looked at Lin Xi and asked.

Peng Xiaofeng took a few steps.

The tall yellow horse pulling the carriage just behind him just stood motionless even if no one was paying attention to it for a moment.

There is a dark iron cylinder hanging on the yellow horse.

As soon as he saw the yellow horse and the dark iron cylinder, Xu Jianling's face turned paler. He knew that he was in such a bad mood today that he didn't even have the obvious military horse and the iron cylinder used by Zhengwu Division to store official documents.

noticed.

"Sir, there is another reason for this. It's not that I don't want to do this Liu Tong, but I really can't do it." Before Peng Xiaofeng walked back, Xu Jianling, who knew that today was extremely unlucky, took a step forward, bowed and whispered in Lin Xi's ear.

begged.
