Myriad Realms Free Mercenaries

Chapter 714 Revenge
The other head catchers around subconsciously took a step forward and raised their horizontal knives, but seeing the frightened look in their eyes, Ouyang Fei knew in his heart that these guys were just putting on a show to deal with Shangguan.

Immediately said unhurriedly: "We should ask this question, right? We neither steal nor rob, but actively help the government to catch the snitch."

"As soon as the official comes, he draws his sword out of its sheath, and looks like a teacher asking for a crime. Could it be that the law of the Tang Dynasty prohibits helping the government to catch thieves? Otherwise, it is a crime of robbing the official's job?"

"This..." The chief arrester was robbed of his whites by Ouyang Fei, his face turned blue and red, and he calmed down after a while, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Since you are brave heroes who stand up for justice, why didn't you send the police to investigate after you captured the female snitch? Instead, invite the female snitch into the house to talk?"

Ouyang Fei sighed: "Don't mention it, I will get angry when I mention this matter. Originally, I wanted to interrogate the female snitch's origin, the location of her lair and other information, so that I can hand over one of them, and then escort them to the yamen together to share the concerns of the public. .”

"Who would have thought that the snitch was cunning, Ruosi, who deliberately acted like he was going to catch us without a fight, so that we could relax our vigilance, and then took advantage of the narrow terrain in the room to escape. I am still very annoyed!"

I believe you and I are pig-headed, the head catcher secretly complained, but said in a neither soft nor hard way: "Trick to escape? Could it be that the young master let her go on purpose?"

Ouyang Fei yelled that he was wronged, "Your Majesty, you are really wronged. As soon as the snitch entered the room, he suddenly made trouble, blocked me with a hidden weapon, and even emitted misty smoke. The room is so small that he couldn't use it. She escaped through the window."

"One of my companions has already chased him out and vowed to recover the lost property for this member. I waited with all my heart to be so maliciously speculated. It really chills the hearts of righteous people in the world!"

"..."

Ouyang Fei's heartbroken look made the girls almost overwhelmed, their faces were flushed with smiles, but in the eyes of the chief catcher, it became a scene of them being wronged and flushed with anger.

The Chief Catcher finally wavered a bit, and hesitantly turned his head to glance at the timid Liu Yuanwai, but for a moment he didn't know what to do.

What Ouyang Fei said was not true, he knew very well in his heart, but with the martial arts shown by the other party, any one person could wipe out their group, so taking the other party and torture him is unnecessary.

But if I just go back like this, I can't explain it!What can I do with this?

He won't have to worry about it soon, because the person who rescued him has arrived.

Just when the chief catcher was at a loss to advance or retreat, a figure fell from the sky and landed beside Ouyang Fei. It was Xiaoyao who was returning.

Xiaoyao held the bundle in his hand, handed it to Ouyang Fei, and said, "Brother Fei, that female snitch is too cunning, seeing that she couldn't get rid of me, she deliberately threw this bundle into the river."

"I had no choice but to take back the bag first, but when I caught the bag and jumped back, the snitch had disappeared."

"My...my baggage." Member Liu was overjoyed when he saw his baggage, and hurried forward, wanting to get his baggage back.

Ouyang Fei raised his hand to stop his steps, and said, "Wait a minute, you said that this burden is yours?"

"Unless you tell what is in this burden first, if you say it exactly, you can prove that this burden is yours, sir, is it legal and reasonable for me to do this?"

The chief arrester agreed after hearing the words: "This discussion is reasonable, so you can tell me what is in the burden."

The baggage indeed belonged to Mr. Liu. He naturally knew it well, and said without stage fright: "In the baggage, there is a purple gold gourd, three high-quality pearl necklaces, a pair of emerald jade bracelets, and a jade wrench... 50 taels of gold, 200 taels of silver, and 45 taels of scattered silver.”

Ouyang Fei opened the bag, Liu Yuanwai said the same, he nodded, and when he finished speaking, Ouyang Fei nodded and said: "Okay, it's exactly right, it seems that you really lost the bag."

Hearing that Ouyang Fei said that it was exactly the same, it proved that nothing in his luggage was lost. Liu Yuanwai stepped forward and said happily: "I said it was mine! Thank you, my lord..."

"Hey, what are you doing?" But after Ouyang Fei tied up the bundle again, he put it back away from Yuanwai Liu's hands.

Member Liu said in a daze, "This is my burden, of course I have to take it back!"

The chief catcher looked at Ouyang Fei in puzzlement, since it had been proved that he had lost it, and of course it had to be returned to others, could it be possible for the public to take it privately?Although they were really moved after hearing what was in the package.

Ouyang Fei asked impatiently, "Do you really understand the Fa?"

"Uh... is there any law that stipulates that the owner cannot take back the lost property?" Yuanwai Liu said confidently.

Ouyang Fei said calmly: "Of course the owner can get back his lost property. This is justified."

"Then it's over?" Member Liu spread his hands.

Ouyang Fei continued: "If you didn't report it to the authorities, then our act of helping you recover the lost property is a private act. At most, we will fight against injustice, act chivalrously, and return it to you immediately."

"But if you report it to the official, it's not the same thing. Now your burden is the filth of a thief, and it will also be the evidence to convict the Snitch in the future. How can you just take it back?"

"According to the law, we have to hand over this package to the yamen first, and then you can take it back after the yamen catches the female snitch and uses it as evidence to convict the female snitch."

When Ouyang Fei said this, he looked at the chief catcher, and asked with a smile: "This official, is there anything wrong with what I said?"

The chief catcher was overjoyed, and he praised Ouyang Fei for being on the road in his heart, but his face was upright, and he said with a bit of admiration: "Yes, it seems that the young master is very familiar with the laws of the Tang Dynasty! , this burden should be handed over to the yamen first, and you will come back to claim the lost property after the case is closed."

"Ah? This, this, this..." Liu Yuanwai was completely stupid. Seeing Ouyang Fei hand over the burden to the chief arrester, the two officials and civilians looked like a family, and suddenly regretted it, and he wanted to slap himself. .

I don't have anything to report to the officer!Simply looking for trouble, expecting that stupid and corrupt official to catch the snitch?It's better to count on the Snitch's conscience to find out and help him steal the baggage back!

I accidentally saw Ouyang Fei glance at him with a sneer, and a flash of lightning flashed across Liu Yuanwai's mind. He did it on purpose. He could have returned the burden to me directly, but he deliberately handed it over to the government as evidence of a crime.

He was taking revenge. He was annoyed that I would report to the police and cause trouble for him, so he deliberately tricked me like this.

Yuanwai Liu, who wanted to understand this point, regretted even more, but it was too late now.

Ouyang Fei is indeed taking revenge, this guy doesn't know good from bad, he can remember that he bit Xiaoyao Yueru back in the original plot!
At first, I thought that if the purple gold gourd was not lost this time, this guy would never be a moth. Who knew that he just went into the house and chatted with Ji Sanniang for a while, and this guy brought all the officials.

"I haven't asked the hero's name yet." The head catcher clasped his fists at Ouyang Fei with a smile.

"Don't dare to take it, I'm going to Ouyang Fei."

"Hehe, thanks to Hero Ouyang for helping to retrieve this criminal evidence. If the Snitch can be brought to justice in the future, Hero Ouyang will make the most of his contribution. I will definitely report to the prefect and reward the hero."

Ouyang Fei waved his hands and said with a smile: "There is no need for awards, it's just that the inferior people have important things to go to the capital, but this Yangzhou ban allows entry and no exit, and please ask the chief arrester to talk to the prefect for us, and be accommodating." .”

After saying this, he saw that the Chief Catcher had a troubled expression on his face. He turned to one side and said with a smile: "Chief Catcher, I will introduce you to a big shot. This is the daughter of Lin Tiannan, the leader of the Southern Wulin League in Suzhou, Miss Lin Yueru, and Liu Shangshu of the capital. It’s her uncle.”

"When I go to Chang'an, I'm going to visit Liu Shangshu. If I delay in Yangzhou, when Liu Shangshu asks, I'm afraid the prefect will be in trouble if I tell you about this place! "

The head catcher was shocked, and immediately stepped forward to meet the eldest lady, and patted his chest to promise that he would get a pass token for them.
