Uh-huh...
Sima Xin drew out his saber and roared at Song Zhili: "You have really eaten the weight of the scale. How dare you, a little county magistrate, not even listen to the governor's words? Are you tired of living?"
"What?" Song Zhili was trembling with fear, but his words were surprisingly strong, "Sir Ma, are you going to kill the imperial official? Dare you ask me what crime I have committed?"
"Rebellion, rebellion, you contradict your superiors," Cai Jin lectured, "If you don't obey the command, you... you..."
"What am I?" Song Zhili looked innocent, "I contradicted my superiors, are you going to kill me if I don't obey orders?"
"You..." Sima Xin and Cai Jin were both furious.
"Okay, I have it for you," Han Wentao smiled coldly and said, "The little county magistrate is indeed a wizard. Okay, since you don't agree, then don't be the county magistrate. I will cut off your Official position, get out of here right now!”
Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts clenched.
If Song Zhili is removed now, not only will Cui Xiaotian have to be released, but he will also lose the chance to overturn Qi Dalang's case.
Tsk tsk...
Xu Zhen also smacked his lips secretly. In fact, he had thought that such an incident would happen beforehand, but he did not expect that the governor would really come and come so quickly.
Although some countermeasures have been thought of, it is obviously too late to teach Song Zhili now.
"Did you hear that?" Sima Xin shouted, "Get out of here! Lord Governor," he turned to motion to Han Wentao, "The cell is over there, I'll take you there!"
"Hey? Wait a minute." At this time, Song Zhili gingerly took out a stack of papers and said to Han Wentao, "Master Governor, please see, these are all the charges brought against Cui Xiaotian by the people of Yanping County. Cui Xiaotian is responsible for causing trouble in the countryside. , which caused the death of countless people, and the crime is heinous!"
"oh!?"
Han Wentao took the paper, but what people never expected was that without even looking at it, he tore the paper in half and threw it away in the air!
Swipe and pull...
Torn pieces of paper were flying in the sky, making everyone present stunned and angry.
"This... Lord Governor, these are complaints from the common people. You... how can you tear them up?" Song Zhili was shocked and trembling all over.
"People are nothing!" Han Wentao said fiercely, "Don't let me see you again, get out of here!"
After saying that, he held his head high and was about to rush to the prison.
"No, Lord Governor," unexpectedly, Song Zhili knelt down and picked up the torn papers while saying, "Cui Xiaotian knows too many secrets, but we really can't let them go!"
"Wha...what!?"
Han Wentao was halfway through his steps, but couldn't take any further.
Song Zhili obviously had something to say.
Suddenly, Han Wentao finally thought of something: Since this little county magistrate in front of him dared to disobey him again and again, could it be that... he was just relying on loyalty?
Wow…
At this moment, the person who was most shocked was Xu Zhen, the mastermind behind the scenes, because Song Zhili's current performance completely exceeded his expectations.
Magistrate Song...seems to have realized that he is a talented person!
"What... do you mean?" Han Wentao had to stop and turned around to ask.
"Oh, Cui Xiaotian is indeed an old fox. If I hadn't used all the means to force a confession, I wouldn't have been able to get him to tell those things!"
Song Zhili deliberately referred to "crimes" as "things", which obviously meant something.
This time, Han Wentao finally changed his expression, and his previous arrogance and arrogance disappeared instantly.
"Song Zhili, you are so brave!" Sima Xin became furious and shouted, "Didn't I warn you not to touch Cui Xiaotian?"
However, Song Zhili ignored him at all.
"County Magistrate Song," the governor Han Wentao suppressed his anger, pointed to the backyard and said, "If you have anything to say, let's go to the inner hall to talk about it!"
"No," who knew that Song Zhili didn't show any respect at all and said without raising his head, "You are in such a hurry, let's keep the story short here! I, a little county magistrate, can't be a good one anyway, so I might as well go crazy. In the end?"
Song Zhili's words were understated, but like a thousand swords piercing his heart, Han Wentao was shocked and took a few steps back unconsciously.
"You...you..." He pointed at Song Zhili and said "you" for a long time, but couldn't say anything.
Neither Si Maxin nor Cai Jin were fools. They had already heard the stakes involved, and they all immediately chose to shut up.
"Lord Governor," Song Zhili gestured in the direction of the prison, "Cui Xiaotian is in the private room of the prison. You can go and visit him, but you must not take him away!
"I already know three locations now, and I have sent three waves of people out. Oops..." Song Zhili shook his head vigorously, and then continued to pick up the torn papers, "I don't know... what can I find?"
"Ah?" Hearing this, Han Wentao suddenly became confused, pointed at Song Zhili and shouted, "You...you dare to threaten me?"
"Master Han, are you kidding me? How dare I, a small county magistrate, threaten the governor?" Song Zhili was still carefully picking up the papers. "I only know that in the second year of Changle, there was an arson attack on the granary that occurred in Chongning County, Songzhou. There are many stories..."
"You... shut up!" Han Wentao's face turned pale with fear.
Obviously, Song Zhili's words struck a chord with Han Wentao.
Even a fool can see that Song Zhili has obtained important information from Cui Xiaotian.
broken!
However, Xu Zhen secretly complained.
At first he only thought that Song Zhili was bluffing here to bluff the Han governor.
But now it seems that he really touched Cui Xiaotian and got those secrets from Cui Xiaotian!
well!
This is terrible, Xu Zhen complained secretly, once Cui Xiaotian is forced to reveal those secrets, it will be equivalent to forcing himself into a dead end.
Song Zhili was really too anxious.
No...not much...
Xu Zhen then thought of a terrible thing. Song Zhili had long known that Cui Xiaotian had nothing to do with the Ghost-Faced Killer, so why did he force Cui Xiaotian to confess?
Could it be...that he has an idea?
"You...you madman," Han Wentao was so angry that he flew into a rage. "What on earth did you do to Cui Xiaotian?"
"It's nothing, I just did something you didn't dare to do," Song Zhili said, "Let him tell all the secrets, and he can no longer threaten you!"
"You...what do you know!?" Han Wentao beat his chest and stamped his feet, "Do you know that Cui Xiaotian cannot be touched! If you touch him, the consequences will be disastrous and many people will die!"
"What a coincidence, Cui Xiaotian also said this when he was tortured. However, it is unimaginable for some people, but it doesn't matter to me?" Song Zhili collected the paper and held it in his arms like a treasure. , raised his head and said, "Xiaguan behaves and sits upright, Cui Xiaotian's secret has nothing to do with me, what should I be afraid of?"
"You..." Han Wentao was furious, "You are looking for death!"
"Master Han, are you threatening me?" Song Zhili said, "Then I was really scared, so... I quickly shared Cui Xiaotian's secret with six people. Guess, these six people will be who?
"You are welcome to silence me at any time, but remember to kill everyone in the Yamen! But..." He frowned in deep thought, "I'm not sure those six people must be from the Yamen!?"
Damn...
Xu Zhen's heart skipped a beat, this Song Zhili is really a talent! But when he did this, he obviously had no room for maneuver...
