“It turns out that the well water poisoning case was actually about Mipu!”
"Shopkeeper Cai is willing to help solve such a big matter..."
…
Wei Bai started to provoke, and his specious words made everyone present start to doubt whether someone wanted to take advantage of this banquet to cause trouble!
Especially those who have just been climbed out, they wonder if these are intentional designs!
The first person everyone suspects is the prefect, and only he can arrange the assassination with the greatest convenience! Business has been sluggish recently, and the supply they provided was a bit low, and the two things they asked for were not done well...
This is to get rid of them! He thought they were useless and was afraid that they would threaten him in turn, so he did this!
But if that's the case, why does the assassin, as a prefect, need to behave like this? Then it would be fine if the assassin didn't say anything after Shopkeeper Cai finished talking. Then he said a bunch of words that seemed to sow discord but actually exposed himself. Wouldn't it be unnecessary?
The assassin's next words answered everyone's doubts.
"Master Magistrate, I did as you asked. Can I let my wife go?"
The female family members looked at the magistrate with eyes full of surprise, as if they had eaten something shocking.
Although the assassin's face was covered, only a pair of eyes were exposed, but his tightly knitted brows and hysterical accusing voice made it difficult to suspect that he was lying.
The emotions are so on point!
"What are you talking nonsense!" The prefect's expression suddenly changed. He did not expect that the assassin would change his subject and turn the conflict onto him.
Moreover, the other party was obviously framing him. At first, he thought that the masked man had a deep grudge against someone present.
It turned out that the other party was coming for him. Now on this occasion and under this situation, he couldn't argue.
No matter what he said, it would sound like he was making excuses. If he let the guards come forward and take action, he would become angry and kill everyone.
The prefect was stuck here.
The masked man obviously wanted to say more than this. He continued: "You lied to me. My wife is dead, but you still use my wife to make me do things for you. Today I will expose you." His true face..."
Things made sense immediately. No wonder the masked man was doing things for the prefect and trying to hinder the prefect. It turned out to be a counterattack.
After saying some bad things about the prefect, the masked man began to name the people present.
"Wang Qian, Zhao Liu, Meng Huang... do you think the prefect doesn't know what you are doing? He is waiting to grab your pigtails right now!"
"Shop Manager Zhang, do you need me to tell you where you were yesterday?"
Who is the masked man talking about? Whose face is pale? Who would believe that there is nothing fishy here?
The magistrate's face turned paler. The masked man's words were true and false. Some of the names he called had indeed done something for him.
But there are also some people mentioned who have no idea what the situation is. This is to put all the shit basins on their heads!
What is the origin of this masked man? The prefect looked at Zhou Jinyan aside. Could it be related to the imperial envoy?
At this time, many official servants came from the door. They were all officers and soldiers of Qingzhou City, and they were supposed to obey the orders of the prefect.
Everyone looked at the prefect, thinking that this was an order given by the prefect before, and thinking that all this was a trap set by the prefect.
The situation took a turn, and the officers and soldiers leading the team at the front arrested the prefect.
Everyone was confused by this change, not only the prefect, but also the name of the person named by Shopkeeper Cai, as well as the person mentioned by the masked man.
They were all arrested by officers and soldiers.
"What are you doing, so presumptuous!"
The prefect angrily reprimanded, and others also explained themselves: "I didn't break the law! I was fake, I was wrongly accused."
"Let go. What they said just now is all slander. There is no evidence and there is no basis for what they say. Why are they arresting me!"
…
No matter how loud these people were, the officers and soldiers seemed not to hear them. Their actions were merciless. Not only the merchants, but also the prefects were quite selfless.
After arresting everyone, the leading officers and soldiers walked up to Jian Yu, raised their hands, knelt down on one knee and saluted, "I'm reporting to the Imperial Envoy that all the suspects have been captured."
Lord Imperial Envoy? !
Shocking things happened one after another, and the female relatives' eyes widened. They were already quite shocked by the identity of the great aunt, but now the great aunt has become an imperial envoy!
I’ve only heard that imperial envoys don’t stick to any identity, but this is the first time I’ve seen a female imperial envoy!
The men present were even more surprised. It was not yet the time for the imperial envoy to inspect. If the imperial envoy appeared in Qingzhou City at this time, it meant that something was going on in the city.
At present, this matter not only involves the prefect, but also many people are involved. For example, the people arrested now are all prominent figures.
Qingzhou City is about to change!
"Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy, I,"
What else did the magistrate want to explain here, but Wei Bai had quick eyes and quick hands and knocked the person unconscious with one palm.
Of course, he did this because he didn't want the prefect to say anything else. He pretended to want to kill the prefect, but was stopped by the officers and soldiers beside him.
"Heaven's way, reincarnation and heaven will spare no one! It doesn't matter if I can't kill you. You can't live longer than me with all the bad things you did. I'll be waiting for you in the underworld!"
Wei Bai raised his face to the sky and spat out a mouthful of blood, then fell to the ground. The officers and soldiers came forward to check for breath, and then reported to Jian Yu: "Your Majesty, this person is dead."
It was impossible to die. Jian Yu knew that they were all acting, so she agreed to cooperate.
——Wei Bai’s scene ends here.
"Put everyone in jail and await interrogation."
Seeing Jian Yu giving orders cleanly and neatly, the prefect's wife was trembling all over. She understood why her husband told her not to mess with her aunt. It turned out to be because of her other identity.
Since the husband knew the identity of the imperial envoy, why was he still taken away? The prefect's wife was so panicked. Thinking of her husband's safety and her terrible birthday party, she rolled her eyes and fainted.
The Lord of Shouxi County immediately supported her, and her expression was quite ugly. Her uncle's official position was one of the forces she could rely on, but now it seemed that things were clearly going to be bad.
What was most difficult for her to accept was that the untouchable she thought was actually an imperial envoy!
Being able to become an imperial envoy shows that Jian is in the heart of the emperor and is a capable minister in front of the emperor. In terms of personal connections and the power in his hands, he is definitely not low.
From any angle, she shouldn't be offended.
Now it is no longer a question of whether she can cause trouble for the other party, but she has to worry about herself. The fall of her uncle is not the worst news. What is even more frightening is that it may affect her mother and her!
no. She had to quickly send a message to her mother.
Just when he thought of this, before he could take action, the Shouxi County Lord heard the officers and soldiers raise their voices: "No one in the mansion is allowed to leave the mansion today. The imperial envoy will personally interrogate him overnight. When the matter becomes clear, no later than noon tomorrow, he will Let everyone leave.”
After hearing this, everyone stopped. The imperial envoy is indeed a senior official, but he must not be unreasonable. They have not committed any crime, so what can they do if they don't stay?
Some people expressed this attitude, and a few others echoed it. None of them were reckless, but more of a temptation.
Of course, Jian Yu would not allow others to challenge her authority. If she softened her attitude at this time, she would give others a chance to take advantage of her.
"Those who disobey will be punished as obstructing official duties. If not necessary, whoever makes the most noise will have his or her tongue cut out. I will be responsible for all consequences."
Such a decisive and domineering attitude made the shouting people suddenly stop their voices. They saw the officers and soldiers draw their swords!
In an instant, everyone became honest.
——Actually... you can leave at noon tomorrow.
Seeing everyone stopped, Jian Yu looked at Zhou Jinyan.
Her vicious expression made it very clear - why did you leave this mess to me!
Jian Yu can be sure that it was Zhou Jinyan who told the leading officers and soldiers to come over and call him the Imperial Envoy!
Zhou Jinyan naturally had his reasons ready. He winked towards the north. Jian Yu looked along and saw An Lin and An Zhe standing there.
