Ye Tongpan, who was named, did not want to give this face at all.
Just by looking at Ning Weiguo's proud expression, he knew that Xu Sanshui, an idiot, had failed to deal with the aftermath and someone had discovered the clues.
The fact was established, and there was nothing he could do if he went to see it.
But Jiang Yan satirized him: "Didn't Ye Tongpan just say that Mr. Ning was not allowed to intervene in the investigation? You are worse than Mr. Ning in this regard, why don't you show your authority as the general magistrate of Jinling Mansion?"
"Master Magistrate...you are right, then I will go and have a look. This is how Ning Zhaomo investigates the case."
Ye Tongpuan clenched his back molars to prevent himself from swearing.
Damn Jiang Yan!
Don't be proud!
Sooner or later I'm going to bring you down!
When Ye Tongpan walked towards the place where Ning Weiguo was, he deliberately took a few steps around, passed Xu Sanshui, and sighed: "I really didn't expect that you did so many things behind my back."
"Sir..." Xu Sanshui's face turned pale when he heard that he was asked to take full responsibility.
He fabricated robbers, induced officers and soldiers, and tortured officials.
No matter which one of these three crimes is committed, you will have to go to jail even if you don't die.
Xu Sanshui felt infinite regret and hatred in his heart. He stared at Ye Tongpian's back eagerly, waiting for Ye Tongpian to convict him.
Ye Tongpuan naturally knew how much of a threat Xu Sanshui would be to him if he confessed, and he was also racking his brains to think about how to solve this dilemma.
Damn Liu Qingfang!
If it weren't for her plan to only deal with the Ning family and not arrange the aftermath, he wouldn't have to be so passive at this time.
Ning Wuyan saw Ye Tongpan walking forward thoughtfully, almost stepping into the footprints. He hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab Ye Tongpan, and asked half jokingly and half seriously: "Did Ye Tongpan's soles slip from walking too much at night, or did he slip?" Want to accidentally destroy physical evidence?”
"You! You're so rude!" Ye Tongpuan cursed angrily, and the pain on his arm made him gasp.
Looking down, he saw that his right wrist was swollen with veins popping out from being pinched by Ning Wuhuang.
Ye Tongpan looked at Ning Wuyan who dared to openly hurt him. Just as he was about to question him, Ning Weiguo next to him picked up his back collar and forced him to squat down. He pointed at a pile of footprints on the ground extending towards the fork in the road.
"Mr. Ye Tong, please see clearly. There are no footprints left by any robbers escaping here. There are only the footprints of Xu Sanshui and others who came from the mountain col at the fork in the road."
"Perhaps the robbers were prepared in advance. They wore straw mats with polished shoe prints or had cloth wrapped around their feet, or they knew Qinggong?" Ye Tongpan's excuse was absurd.
It was obviously to exonerate Xu Sanshui and others.
Ye Changlong thought this was a good reason, and echoed: "Uncle is right, those robbers are so elusive, how do you know they are not flying into the sky with wings?"
Ning Wuyang glanced sideways at Ye Changlong, who revealed his shortcomings in IQ, but in the end, he resisted the urge to refute him.
He had to leave this opportunity to perform to his second uncle.
Ning Weiguo laughed at the friendly singing of the uncle and nephew, looked at Xu Sanshui who was kneeling on the ground, and asked: "Xu Yamen, if you plead guilty now and tell who instigated you to harm me, the crime will be lighter. If you wait, I identify you and prove that you deliberately pretended to be a robber, spread false information to take advantage of the governor's officers and soldiers, and harmed the court officials. If you are punished for the three crimes, you may lose your head."
"I……"
Xu Sanshui looked at Ye Tongpan as if asking for help.
Ye Tongpan shook his head.
The absence of the robber's footprints only shows that the robber is very capable. What does it have to do with Xu Sanshui and the others?
"I don't admit it!" Xu Sanshui had someone to back him up, and he became bolder.
Ning Weiguo seemed to have expected this outcome. He held Ye Tongsuan upright, then pushed him down and pointed in the direction of their coming.
"Ye Tong sentenced you to say that the robbers did not leave any footprints to escape. They flew with wings. Okay, just treat them as flying with wings. But look at the three lines of footprints left here. Two lines are the same. Comparing the size of all the footprints heading back to the carriage and returning, they were exactly the same as those of Xu Sanshui and the people he brought with him."
You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.
Ye Tongpan saw three densely packed sets of footprints. Although the directions were in opposite directions, the two footprints in the same direction were indeed consistent.
And because the yamen were very cooperative in their usual training, there were no mistakes in the front and rear positions of the personnel.
Only then did he realize that Ning Weiguo had deliberately not mentioned this evidence just now in order to make him lose his authority in front of Xu Sanshui!
"Ye Tongpan, take a closer look to see if there are any robbers in these footprints. If not, why Xu Sanshui and the others came and went, it can only mean that they are masked men in black. If there are... it means that Xu Sanshui and the others are the robbers. "
Ning Weiguo's words were a bit confusing.
But everyone understood it.
As long as the footprints are checked with Xu Sanshui and others, it will prove that Xu Sanshui and others are the masked men in black just now.
"They turned around here and didn't change their clothes. They must still be wearing them."
Ning Weiguo looked at the dozen or so government servants who were kneeling on the ground, shaking like chaff, and said sadly: "You are receiving salary from the imperial court, but you are doing things that break the law knowingly. The crime will be increased!"
"Now that the evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to argue with?!"
Ning Weiguo took a step forward and took off Xu Sanshui's government uniform, revealing his night clothes.
Yu led the soldiers and pointed out: "That's the clothes!"
"Tear off the others!" Jiang Yan ordered in a deep voice.
Jiang Yang and Jiang He stepped forward and took off the clothes of other government servants who were kneeling on the ground, revealing night clothes of the same style and color.
The black scarves they used to cover their faces even fell from the clothes of the two government officials.
Ning Wuhao saw that the truth was as he expected, it was indeed Xu Sanshui and others pretending to be the robbers, and the truth about the robbers was finally revealed.
However, this is not enough.
Their last way of survival must be blocked in order to get the original truth.
"My lords, I have been staying at Zhuangzi near Hanshan Temple for the past few days, but I have never heard of any robberies in this area. Moreover, Governor Huang specially sent heavy troops to guard the vicinity of Liujiazhuang, which caused a lot of noise. You know, will the robbers really commit crimes against the wind?"
Ning Wuyang gave Xu Sanshui and others the final psychological blow.
"Perhaps, this robber was fabricated out of thin air and does not exist at all. I believe everyone can understand the purpose of fabricating it. It is just for today, so that I can set a trap here and let my second uncle fall into it. , this is not a misunderstanding, this is planned!"
"Xu Sanshui, you deliberately killed the imperial officials. You should be punished for this crime!"
Ye Tongpan originally wanted to detain the person for interrogation on the grounds of misunderstanding, but he didn't expect that it was an emergency, but Ning Wuhao came prepared, and even found out that the robber had fabricated it.
This made him wonder whether Ning Wuhuang was a clairvoyant and deliberately took advantage of the situation they had set up to defeat the Ye family!
Just when Ye Tongpan was unable to support him, Xu Sanshui and others realized that the crime was too heavy to bear, and they quickly kowtowed and confessed, shouting for mercy.
In order to get rid of the charges of being the main messenger, the other government officials except Xu Sanshui directly put all the responsibilities on Xu Sanshui: "My lords, we are only following the words of Xu Sanshui. He is our leader, and his words We can’t help but listen!”
"He said that Ning Zhaomo was a robber and asked us to pretend to be his accomplices to defraud him!"
"Yes! These things are what Xu Yamen asked us to do!"
Facing the betrayal from dozens of people, Xu Sanshui was furious.
Should he alone be responsible for so many crimes and such serious crimes?
Since everyone is unkind, how can he maintain morality?
"Lord Tong San, I received your order to arrest the robbers. Why are you slandering me as a robber now? Please help me!"
Xu Sanshui looked at Ye Tongpan with a fierce look in his eyes, as if he wanted to defeat the enemy to the death.
