The charge was changed from robbery to resisting an official while handling the case.
Zhou Jingxian suddenly understood what the situation in front of her was about.
This is a game!
She didn't know what happened, but she could roughly deduce that someone must have misled the governor's officers and soldiers against Ning Weiguo's rivals first, and then the dozen or so government officials added fuel to the flames. After the two sides fought fiercely, Ning Weiguo's fight against the officials was implemented. After that, you can ask Ye Tong to judge the crime.
If it is a death penalty, there is no need to go to such trouble.
Ye Tongpan... or the purpose of the Ye family is to use the big or small crime of manipulating Ning Weiguo to achieve a certain purpose!
"Step aside!"
Zhou Jingxian saw another group of people coming from Liujiazhuang not far away. She knew that it was Ye Tongpan who had come to deal with the aftermath. She pressed the long sword in her hand against Xu Sanshui's forehead.
"I guarantee with my life that Mr. Ning is not a robber. If you don't get out of the way, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Xu Sanshui faced the murderous aura in his face. He thought that if a member of the royal family killed a small soldier like him, he would be imprisoned in a prison for a few days at most, and then just cry in front of His Majesty and treat it as nothing happened. His legs trembled because of this. But he still didn't give in.
He is a close subordinate of Ye Tongpan, and the Ye family will subsidize him an additional one hundred taels of silver every year. Sometimes he helps the Ye family handle some business matters, and can also make a lot of money.
If today's affairs go wrong and the Ye family goes downhill, he will suffer as well.
The wages of avarice is death.
Xu Sanshui not only did not give in, but instead shouted arrogantly to the people around him, "Princess Jingxian is going to kill someone! Young Master! Master Tong San! Help!"
hateful!
Zhou Jingxian did not expect that Xu Sanshui looked timid and fearful, but in fact he was a tough nut to crack.
As the distance got closer, she could clearly see that Ning Weiguo had an arrow wound on his right shoulder, and the child steward of the perfume shop also suffered knife wounds in both eyes. She put aside the charges for now. If the injury continues, in case he is disabled. …
She no longer hesitated, got off her horse, slashed her sword against Xu Sanshui's scalp, and headed straight for Ning Weiguo.
Phew!
Xu Sanshui was so frightened that he sat down on the ground and urinated. When the warm wetness made him realize that he was still alive, the crying look on his face became more real.
When he saw Ye Changlong arriving, he took a few steps forward and said, "Young master, you are finally here!"
"Go away!" Ye Changlong kicked Xu Sanshui in disgust, looked at Zhou Jingxian, and said sarcastically: "Princess Jingxian is so arrogant! When she came to the border of Jinling, she didn't obey the local laws. , if my uncle submits a memorial to you, Princess Jingxian may be deprived of her title."
"Second Master Ning, get in the car."
Zhou Jingxian ignored Ye Changlong's words, grabbed Ning Weiguo's left arm, and tried to drag him into the carriage.
Ning Weiguo was extremely grateful, but his body did not move.
"Princess Jingxian, if I leave now, Ye Tongpuan will definitely announce that I have escaped after being convicted. I can't cause you any trouble."
"Since Princess Jingxian is here, you might as well bear witness for me. I, Ning Weiguo, will die to prove that I am definitely not the robber in the rumors, and I have no intention of confronting the officers and soldiers. It is all because of these government officials who forced me! "
After Ning Weiguo finished speaking, he struggled to break away from Zhou Jingxian's hand and put a long knife on his neck.
What Princess Jingxian could see was that as a government official, he knew how to turn small things into big tricks in the officialdom. After he calmed down, he also understood that this was a trap for the Ning family.
"The Ye family is really good at it. The government and businessmen colluded, and they also used the governor's officers and soldiers to force the Ning family to confess, but I refuse to admit it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Weiguo clenched the long knife in his hand and shed two tears of regret.
He did not regret coming to deliver goods to Liujiazhuang, because if what happened just now had happened without incident, he would have ended up even worse than he did now.
He only regretted why he hadn't killed the group of unarmed robbers just now, so that there would be evidence to prove his innocence.
"Stop him!" Ye Changlong's face changed drastically when he saw Ning Weiguo raising his knife to commit suicide.
Ye Tongpan, Governor Huang and Zhou An who came over were stunned when they saw this scene. They didn't expect Ning Weiguo to be unafraid of death.
If Ning Weiguo were to die, their plan would be in vain!
"Stop him quickly!" Several people shouted in unison.
Zhou Jingxian also wanted to stop him, but Ning Weiguo, who wanted to die, was so powerful that she couldn't stop him at all.
As the blade approached his throat, an anxious voice came from the fork in the road.
"Second uncle! I'm coming!"
Ning Weiguo's sword paused for a moment, with a bitter look on his face.
So what if you're okay and you're here.
Since ancient times, people have not fought with officials, let alone you. Even if my father comes and his official rank is not as good as that of Ye Tongpan, he can only be slaughtered by him.
"Second uncle! The prefect is right behind you! Just hold on!"
Jiang Yan is here too? !
Ning Weiguo thought about the fact that during this period, he could communicate with Jiang Yan frequently, and his eyes were filled with hope for life. He said gratefully to Zhou Jingxian, "Thank you, Princess Jingxian, for sending the message."
Ah...Actually, I just said it in a fit of impatience.
Zhou Jingxian saw that Ning Weiguo's attitude towards committing suicide had relaxed, so she took the opportunity to persuade him: "Second Master Ning, Mr. Jiang is the prefect of Jinling and the immediate superior of Ye Tongpan. He is a just man and will definitely be able to clear your name!"
"I know...it's just..."
Before Ning Weiguo could explain how troublesome this matter was, the long knife in his hand suddenly sank.
He looked at the one-eyed boy who grabbed the hilt of his knife in shock.
"Second Master, if you don't believe the magistrate, don't you still believe the young master? We are not afraid of shadows, and we are not afraid of false accusations!"
Ning Weiguo gritted his teeth when he saw the one-eyed boy groping for his sword, and finally let go of the hand holding the sword and looked towards the fork in the road.
Yun Fei at the front was riding a horse carrying Ning Wuyan, and the people on the three tall brown horses behind were Jiang Yan and his personal bodyguards.
When Ye Tongpan saw that Jiang Yan had actually come, he was confused: He had clearly confirmed yesterday that Jiang Yan would be staying at the garrison at this time to take charge, so why did he change his itinerary to come?
It was impossible for Jiang Yan to predict the situation, unless there was something more important than dealing with wounded soldiers. Could it be that he was specifically asked to deal with the robbers?
Ye Tongpan was puzzled, but he didn't care about that much at this time.
He secretly exchanged glances with Governor Huang, stretched out a finger, and decided to proceed as planned.
Anyway, as long as Ning Weiguo is proven guilty of resisting the government officials and governor officers and soldiers, even if Jiang Yan comes, he will have the final say on the conviction and sentencing, and he will use this to threaten Ning Wuhao and hand over the perfume. Secret recipe!
"Hush!"
Yunfei tightened the reins, but before he could stop, Ning Wuyan had already turned over and dismounted.
Because his movements were unfamiliar and the road was slippery, Ning Wuhe kicked his foot and limped towards the direction of Ning Weiguo.
"Stop him!" Ye Tongpuan shouted, thinking: If I can't stop Ning Weiguo, I can't stop you?
Uh-huh!
A dozen government officials, supported by Ye Tongpan, drew their sabers and pointed them at Ning Wuyan.
At this time, Ye Changlong walked to Ning Wushuang's side and said in a low voice that Ning Weiguo was injured in the confrontation with the governor's officers and soldiers. At this time, he was suspected of being a robber and had also been charged with confronting the government officers and soldiers.
After telling the whole story, Ye Changlong pointed out the most critical issue: "Ning Wuyan, your second uncle dared to confront the officers and soldiers in a white body. This crime can be big or small. If he is really convicted as a robber, your perfume shop will also be there." Among those being confiscated.”
"If I were you, I would hand over the secret recipe of the perfume right now, so that your second uncle can be innocent. If you express your stance to An Hou in public, the matter will be revealed. From now on, you can work hard for An Hou, and you will be as successful as you are. Is it better to be a prisoner?"
