The opinions of the officials were almost unanimous.
That is to wave the butcher knife at the students, take advantage of the chaos and leave here, and then charge these students with charges afterwards to solve the matter.
Anyway, they plundered the money from the caravan, and as their immediate superior, County Magistrate Huang also stripped them of their skins.
As long as they leave here and let Magistrate Huang know the ins and outs of the matter, they believe that Magistrate Huang will definitely protect them.
Because protecting them means protecting County Magistrate Huang himself.
But.
Who is the first person?
Everyone's eyes were unanimously focused on Yamen Zhao.
Zhao Yamen felt a sudden shock in his heart, but he also knew that if he was not the first person, he might become a dead soul under the knife.
After thinking through this, he gritted his teeth, waited until his colleagues arranged their formation, and then shouted at the top of his lungs.
"There is Xizuo among you. We came after him, but now he has escaped in the chaos! We must catch that Xizuo! Kill him!"
"Kill!"
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
Faced with the yamen servant who suddenly started wielding knives at him, the students were all stunned on the spot.
Especially when they saw their ferocious faces, the students were stunned.
Where is the fine work?
Are these government officials trying to kill them to silence them?
"Brother Zhuang, Brother Shang, stop them. If they are injured, I will be responsible. Don't kill them."
Ning Wuyan confirmed his guess, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
By daring to go this far, it seems that these government officials have committed a crime more serious than malfeasance in their duties.
Moreover, the reason for their escape was that they claimed to be chasing Xizuo, so they would definitely bring a few people from the Western Regions who disliked Xizuo to plead guilty afterwards.
As for life and death, it is easy to guess, only the dead cannot speak, and the charges can be fabricated by them at will.
Being able to think of such a method under such circumstances shows that you do this kind of thing on a daily basis.
"No wonder Ping County is close to the south of the Yangtze River and has an advantageous terrain, but no merchants stay here. Instead, they camp with us outside the city. I thought they liked camping or to save money. Now it seems that they are thinking Passing through Ping County with our Ningjia convoy."
He just finished speaking.
Two middle-aged businessmen with potbellies in brocade robes squeezed their way through the crowd.
Ning Wuyu was also startled by the actions of the government officials. At this time, he saw a stranger approaching and blocked the two of them with the Green Dragon Sword in his hand.
"Second Young Master Ning is going to keep people under his sword. We are just the caravan that followed the Ning family's motorcade. I want to remind you that the government officials in Ping County are like man-eating tigers on the mountain. You are strong and can't overwhelm the local snakes, so we should leave them alone." Let them go, lest things get serious later, and Magistrate Huang is here, and Magistrate Huang and these government servants are in cahoots, you can't take advantage."
oh.
Ning Wuyi cupped his fists and bowed, saying "thank you".
But they did not let Zhuang Shicheng and Shang Shan, who beat more than a dozen government officials to a pulp, stop.
Lest things get too big in a while?
This matter had already become a big deal when the government officials were planning to take his car of perfume to the county government office for embezzlement.
The two businessmen who came to remind him were so anxious that they saw that he was not getting enough food and salt.
"Ning Shixian, why don't you let them stop?"
"Ning Shixian, you don't know how powerful they are. They really dare to kill people. This happened to me back then. In order to detain a truckload of my goods, they even took a man who was about to be released from prison. The prisoner was released. He pretended to be chasing the prisoner and let the prisoner die next to my truck of goods. He kept the goods worth 3,000 taels from me and asked me to pay a deposit that had nothing to do with the prisoner before releasing him. My caravan leaves Ping County."
oh.
Ning Wuyan nodded clearly, turned to Shen Youchu and asked, "Can Juxiang check where the Governor Han of Luohe Road is?"
"no problem."
Shen Youchu snapped his fingers towards Mei Xiang.
Mei Xiang whistled, and then made a cuckoo sound, with regular intervals.
Not surprisingly, he should be conveying what he told him.
When Mei Xiang's voice stopped, Shen Youchu asked him curiously: "Master Ning plans to let Governor Han handle this matter?"
"Otherwise, the sky in Ping County is always dark. We can only ask Governor Han to clear the clouds and see the dawn. After what happened to the two eldest brothers, they just admitted their defeat and didn't think about going to complain to the Shangguan of Ping County?"
He could remember that Su Rui was on good terms with the governor of Luohe Road.
This Luohe Road is adjacent to the Guannai Road. Based on these two relationships, the Han governor of Luohe Road should also be a disciple of the emperor and a person trusted by the old emperor.
There is no reason to team up with County Magistrate Huang to do the things that require eating cards just for the sake of three melons and two dates.
Judging from the behavior of the government officials, this should be a local characteristic, and most of the targets they intercepted were passing merchants, who were easy to bully.
Merchants like this generally have the idea of losing money and avoiding disaster. They will only avoid being robbed once, and will never make a big fuss to avoid greater losses.
Even like now, life may be in danger.
Therefore, when it comes to matters in Ping County, either the officials do not inform the people and do not investigate the matter, and they do not know the specific situation, or Huang County Magistrate deceives his subordinates and conceals it from his superiors, and he even knows nothing about the matter.
In addition, as soon as Qin Shi left with Zhang Zhida, County Magistrate Huang sent people to search the convoy.
Magistrate Huang is most likely a member of the King of Jin faction. Unless Governor Han feels that his master, the old emperor, is about to die and wants to sacrifice his own power to join the King of Jin faction, otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for him to shield Magistrate Huang.
In addition, it was mentioned before that Inspector Han was deeply trusted by Su Rui. Ning Wuhuang already knew how Inspector Han would make a decision after learning what happened tonight.
When the two businessmen heard Ning Wuyang mentioning the Han governor of Luohe Road, their eyes lit up and they understood the key. They no longer urged Ning Wuyang, but began to look forward to the arrival of the Han governor.
"You two, Governor Han should be here. Are you leaving Ping County tonight to avoid this muddy water, or are you staying as witnesses?"
Ning Wuyang was very grateful to the two of them for advising him in this situation.
therefore.
He gave the two men the opportunity to seek justice together and, by the way, recover the proceeds from the goods.
The two looked at each other, their eyes changing from fear to determination.
"We stay!"
…
On the official road leading from Shang County to Ping County.
Huang Nanming sat on the horse, his body and mood becoming unstable as the road bumped up and down.
"drive!"
He wanted to urge the horse to run faster, but the master beside him kept reminding him.
"Sir, your equestrian skills are not good. It's late at night now. If something happens in a hurry, it won't be worth the loss. Don't worry, I have someone send a letter to the county government. As long as the thief goes to the direction of Ping County, he will not be able to escape from us. palm."
"Moreover, Shang County has also conducted a strict interrogation. It would be fine if the thief left alone. He also brought an injured Zhang Zhida with him, so he will definitely not be able to escape far!"
Master's analysis makes sense.
But everything can’t just be based on logic.
The reason why the thief couldn't escape was because the thief might have been sent by King Kang or Ning Wuhuang for revenge.
If it was the two of them, Huang Nanming knew that even if they caught Zhang Zhida, there would be no way that Zhang Zhida would betray the prince and cut off his own escape route.
Even if you file a complaint without any evidence, it will not hurt the prince in the slightest.
Huang Gaoming stroked the hot sweat on his forehead, an idea came to his mind, and his forehead was covered with a layer of cold sweat.
Just be afraid, that thief was not sent by King Kang, let alone Ning Wuhan, but one of His Majesty.
