I thought that these words would make Murong Jing restrain himself a little, but who would have thought that instead of being afraid, he would smile and say:
"Oh? I didn't expect that the imperial envoy arrived one day in advance. He moved very quickly. I just don't know what the imperial envoy's intention was."
He knew clearly what the other party meant but still said this, as if he was not guilty but justified.
Besides, the current prince is his uncle! No matter how big a mistake he made, Tang Jianqiu could not punish him.
And he also expected that Tang Jianqiu would not dare to touch him;
Tang Jianqiu said: "We came to Xianning County to investigate according to the Holy Spirit's decree."
And the evil slave whose arms had been broken by Tang Jianqiu recognized him at a glance. The more he looked at it, the more familiar he felt, and he was sure that he had seen it right.
There is no such thing as a coincidence in this world!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Just when the evil slave was about to report the matter to Murong Jing, Murong Jing spoke up.
He could rest easy because he had an identity behind him, and his tone was even more remarkable.
Murong Jing glanced at Tang Jianqiu very proudly, and then said bluntly:
"Oh? Since Mr. Tang is an imperial envoy, he must have received the will of the Holy Lord, but there is one thing I can't understand. Could it be that the Holy Lord's move was the will of my power?"
Tang Jianqiu gave a formulaic smile, like a machine without emotion, "The Marquis is worrying too much. Since the Marquis is here to take charge, we are here to find out. As long as the Marquis handles things fairly, it will not be difficult for the Marquis."
"That's good, otherwise I will think that I have committed some heinous crime. Since there is nothing to do, you can go down first! I still have things to do."
The reason why he said this was that he hoped that Tang Jianqiu would be wise enough to leave. Seeing that the other party was an imperial envoy, he would endure it again and again. Otherwise, he would have closed the door long ago and wouldn't even want to see him.
Others might have accepted this, but who was Tang Jianqiu? He has seen big winds and waves on weekdays, and he will not be deterred by such a trivial matter.
Tang Jianqiu always likes to be straightforward and doesn't think too much, so he said straight to the point:
"Master Marquis, you must have guessed my intention. I saw you today for no other reason. Now that the Marquis is guilty, and the evidence is irrefutable, I still ask the Marquis to come over."
Murong Jing was already angry because of this incident, but now Tang Jianqiu was adding fuel to the fire. How could he not be angry? He became angry on the spot, pointed at Tang Jianqiu's nose and yelled:
"Well, your surname is Tang! How dare you deal with me! Who in this court will not be courteous to me? But you are better! Do you have any evidence to prove it?"
Even at this juncture, he did not forget to speak harshly. He firmly believed that Tang Jianqiu would not be able to deal with him as long as he defaulted on his debts. Little did he know that Tang Jianqiu came here specifically to mess with him!
Tang Jianqiu did not take out the account book directly, but used this rhetoric:
"Tang happened to have a piece of evidence here, which contained detailed evidence of Mr. Hou's corruption and perversion of the law. Everyone in Xianning County can serve as a witness.
All the crimes committed by Mr. Hou are now clear to me. Tang Mou, who killed Aji's family and raped a civilian girl, was also witnessed by witnesses, and a bloody knife was found at the scene. "
After hearing this, Murong Jing couldn't help but laugh: "The great evidence I had at that time was just a bloody knife. There are so many people using knives in this world, how can you be so sure that I was the instigator? "
Tang Jianqiu just shook his head. He was most familiar with creatures like knives.
"I am a martial arts practitioner, so I can naturally see the difference in this sword. If it is an ordinary sword, it would be fine, but the quality and materials of this sword, as well as the words engraved on the handle, all point to the Hou Mansion."
Murong Jing choked immediately, a calculating look flashed in his eyes, and even though his mood changed quickly, it was difficult to conceal the guilty conscience in his heart.
"That can only prove that it was someone from my household who did it, and it was not something I saw with my own eyes. Mr. Tang, please catch the culprit quickly, lest he tarnish my reputation!"
In this situation, he can only abandon his car to save his handsome man, but there is no other way;
"No need to say any more, Mr. Marquis. It's a pity that you have done all the calculations but failed to calculate that there will be any evidence of guilt. Mr. Marquis, please go first!"
After saying that, a large number of officers and soldiers surrounded Murong Jing on the spot. Until this moment, he felt a little afraid, but even so, he still pretended to be calm:
"Wait a minute! How brave Tang Jianqiu! You dare to arrest me! Aren't you afraid of my uncle who is the prince of the dynasty!"
Tang Jianqiu, however, seemed to hear a fly buzzing in his ears. He didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, he said calmly:
"This town governor patrols for the sky and handles cases according to orders. Why should I be afraid? On the contrary, the marquis has committed all kinds of things that aroused public resentment. Once the people riot and the people rise up, how can you, as a super-capable marquis, bear it? ?
Since the Marquis is in the third rank, he should be virtuous, considerate of the people, be generous with money, and love the people like a son. If he cannot do this, he should at least be an upright official who is loved by the people. What if you instigate others to murder the imperial envoy? "
Murong Jing was greatly shocked, her pupils shrank slightly, and a trace of disbelief flashed between her eyebrows.
Only now did he realize what was happening.
"You...you mean you were the one that day?"
"Exactly." Tang Jianqiu did not deny it, and his body was full of righteousness.
His appearance made all the officers and soldiers feel scared.
"Damn! It's all this guy's fault. Just catch him. What does it have to do with me!"
Even at this point, the Marquis still struggled, but Tang Jianqiu pretended not to hear it;
Seeing this scene, the evil slave couldn't stand it any longer. He had suffered a lot of grievances before, but now that Tang Jianqiu came to poke his sore spot again, his mood was extremely bad. Now he had no place to vent his worries;
"Hey! I'm talking about you, didn't you keep saying your name was Tang Zhuimu? How could you be Mr. Tang? You must be pretending!"
"That's right, it must be a fake!"
The rest of the officers and soldiers hurriedly echoed that although they had never seen Tang Jianqiu's true face, they could not believe that this fourth-grade governor could be so young.
If this evil slave hadn't complained to Tang Jianqiu first, he would have almost forgotten that there was such a number one person. Speaking of which, his evidence of guilt was not small.
"I am Tang Jianqiu, named Zhui Mu."
Tang Jianqiu then calmly took out the token from his waist. Such behavior undoubtedly gave them a blow in the head.
It was not until today that Murong Jing realized that he had been deceived. He finally knew that a disaster was coming!
Before he could continue to feel this fear, Tang Jianqiu gave an order that was like a trial in hell:
"Someone! Get it for me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the Jinyi guards drew their swords and pointed them at the criminals in front of them. Some of the more special ones took out slightly different weapons.
Fang Xiaoyu held a dagger, and A Fei held a Tang sword. Some took out darts, and some even had whips attached to them.
Where has Murong Jing ever seen such a scene? His face was livid with fear, and he immediately ordered the officers and soldiers behind him.
As a result, the two sides were at war with each other. Seeing that the situation was getting serious, Murong Jing became increasingly unable to calm down her anger.
At first, he thought that Tang Jianqiu was just scaring him, but he didn't expect it to be serious!
"How presumptuous! Tang Jianqiu, you are so honest and honest, but you still have eyes for me, the Marquis? Even if I am at fault, you can't cure me!"
He relied on the fact that he was a super-feudal prince personally named by the emperor, and he also relied on his status as the prince's uncle to do whatever he wanted, and even more so, he decided that no matter what happened to Tang Jianqiu.
"Oh, Murong Jing broke the law and resisted arrest, and those who assisted him are accomplices. Come on, take that evil slave and Murong Jing away together!"
Under Tang Jianqiu's scolding, a group of royal guards began to intervene.
It's not like these officers and soldiers have never heard of Jin Yiwei's methods. Thinking that they might treat them the same way as prisoners, they are inevitably a little scared, so that they dare not take action.
They subconsciously took a step back, and were even more frightened when they saw this menacing crowd.
As for Murong Jing, he never expected that the officers and soldiers he raised would be such a bunch of cowards, so he was very angry.
"You useless losers!"
Murong Jing shouted hysterically. He grabbed one of them by the collar and slapped him with his hand.
As if he felt that this was not enough to relieve his anger, he slapped him a few more times.
However, that man was like a puppet, refusing to move despite any words. Instead, he stood there and was beaten.
No matter how angry he was, he could not cover up the evidence of his crime;
Murong Jing knew that she had no choice but to follow Tang Jianqiu;
He believed that his uncle, the prince, would help him!
…
With the help of Tang Jianqiu, Xiaomei's family was adopted as an adopted daughter by the newly appointed county magistrate, and his younger brother Aji also benefited from his sister Xiaomei's new identity. However, the fact that his family was poisoned by Murong Jing made him unforgettable for a while, and it was still inevitable. Just sad.
The people of Xianning County can finally live a good life. They no longer have to live in fear, and they no longer have to worry about sky-high taxes.
The news of Murong Jing's arrest soon reached the ears of Murong Jing's father. After learning about the incident, he was so anxious that he felt as if the sky was falling. He could not sleep well and would wander in the room from time to time;
He was terrified when he thought that his son might be killed because of this. His face was filled with helplessness and he thought of his younger brother, the current king of the county!
Although he is not of Zhu family's blood, he can't believe that he will not betray himself based on his meritorious service to the imperial court! (Equivalent to being granted a title with a different surname.)
After that, he went to King Chengxuan for help, hoping that he could save Murong Jing for his own sake.
King Chengxuan felt quite embarrassed. In fact, he also knew what kind of virtue Murong Jing was, but he just didn't expose it. However, they were related by blood anyway, so it was impossible not to help, so he agreed;
It is said that Tang Jianqiu was upright and never bent the law for personal gain, but he did not know whether he maintained his original intention in the face of persuasion;
At first, King Chengxuan planned to announce Tang Jianqiu's entry into the palace, but after thinking about it carefully, he decided not to do it. After all, the victim was his nephew.
So, he decided to go to Beizhen Fusi to find Tang Jianqiu in person after Tang Jianqiu arrived!
I don’t believe that Tang Jianqiu doesn’t sell his face!
