"I didn't leave. Not only that, I also brought Master Shangshu here."
"What!"
These words were like a bolt from the blue, completely shattering his rock-hard heart.
At that moment, the county magistrate completely collapsed. According to this, what he just said was heard by Tang Jianqiu?
However, this is not the end, Tang Jianqiu added another sentence on the original basis:
"And you are the mastermind behind this murder!"
Tang Jianqiu yelled sternly, and when he looked at this man again, he looked down upon him, as if he were looking at a very vicious person.
Since it had been exposed on the spot, the county magistrate thought that there was nothing to hide, but even so he kept calm in a dress:
"How did you know?"
He didn't expect to be discovered so soon. He thought the worst outcome would be for one of them to die, but Tang Jianqiu discovered it.
This surprised him. There must be some omission that aroused his suspicion.
As long as Tang Jianqiu didn't reveal the motive for the crime, he would kill him for never having done this! In this way, the other party can't do anything to him.
Tang Jianqiu was not in a hurry, but explained patiently:
"What's so difficult about this? Since you have colluded with that person, you only need to tell the matter and find an old man to cooperate with you in the play. Once you insist that this is the work of evil spirits, the Yin soldiers killed people and let the case lead to the netherworld, and then secretly Disguise yourself in Qiaozhuang,
In addition, Mr. Qiao and I have personally witnessed Ji Gang’s wronged soul, which further increases our suspicion of ghosts and gods.
I have to say that you are indeed cautious in doing things but you have ignored a key factor, which is Amanita muscaria. "
"Could it be that based on this thing alone, you concluded that Ji Zhi and him are the same?"
The county magistrate still didn't believe it. If he really relied on something, he would be very dissatisfied.
Tang Jianqiu said: "Amanita muscaria is abundant in Kunming. If I remember correctly, from the identity document, you should be from Kunming. You were selected in the imperial examination and then served as the magistrate of Linyi County.
I have been suspicious of you before, but do you still remember that I went to your mansion today? This thing was found in your room. Do you have anything to say? "
After speaking, Tang Jianqiu fiercely handed the evidence that Fang Xiaoyu had previously searched for from the county magistrate's office to the county magistrate.
The local magistrate's face changed drastically after seeing it, as if he had seen something terrible.
This kind of emotion changes almost in a breath, but even so, he still pretends to be calm and pretends to be a victim:
"This...this must be a frame-up, sir!"
The county magistrate really couldn't find a suitable excuse and could only shout that he was wronged, hoping that Tang Jianqiu would be lenient and let him go.
However, when Tang Jianqiu heard the remarks made by the other party, he felt ridiculous for a while.
If it weren't for them, his brothers wouldn't have died!
"Unjustly? The word "unjustly accused" actually comes from the mouth of a villain like you! Your accomplice appeared in prison, and now he appears in front of him holding a key. Do you dare to say that this is also a coincidence?"
Qiao Yunsheng was a little unconvinced at first. He believed in the character of the local magistrate, but he never thought that he could be so vicious. He really knew people but not their hearts!
He pointed his finger at the county magistrate, trembling with anger;
"Since we are in this seventh-grade county, we should solve the problems for the people, instead of acting in such a rebellious manner and disregarding the laws of the country like you. This is a disgrace to the people of the world!"
"Sir! I was also confused for a moment, which led to a big mistake. Please two adults give me a chance!"
He was completely panicked, and he was completely panicked at the moment when the evidence of guilt was completely established, but it was already too late;
"Opportunity? If a traitor like you is left alone, wouldn't it be a disaster to the people of that place? Even if the Holy One is willing to forgive you, I will never forgive you lightly! You and that guy can go to the underworld to keep you company!"
"Wait a minute, where did the head of the corpse go?" Tang Jianqiu raised his eyebrows and looked dimly.
"My lord, I don't quite understand what I'm talking about. If your lord is interested, why don't you look for it yourself?"
"What a grinning lunatic!"
Qiao Yunsheng yelled on the spot, seeming to realize that there was something he had not added. Qiao Yunsheng added another sentence on the basis of the original:
"You really worked hard to make your plan perfect. You colluded with this guy for that ulterior plan, and you did whatever it took to achieve a dirty goal.
It went so far as to abandon the ancestral temple and the country without caring about the life and death of the people. It also made the people in the city so frightened by the ghost that they did not dare to go out on weekdays. How is this behavior different from that of an animal? "
“I still don’t understand what happened, what kind of ridiculous dream I had, it’s really like a fly trying to shake a tree, and a mantis using its arm as a cart!
If you don't want others to know about it, you have to do nothing yourself. Do you really think you can act as the eyes and ears of the world by committing such cruel and despicable acts? It’s so chilling!
Mo Feier and others didn’t know that there is still a word shame in this world! Do these evil thieves still have a conscience? "
The two of them spoke every word, which completely broke the county magistrate's heart.
The county magistrate was completely desperate now. He never thought that one day it would be his turn to be in such a situation.
Now it seems that the death penalty is unavoidable, and he may even have to suffer the torture of being cut into pieces by a thousand cuts!
Tang Jianqiu turned his head, his eyes were cold, without any sympathy, and his response was only coldness and disgust for corrupt officials;
Now that the county magistrate has pleaded guilty, Qiao Yunsheng and others naturally have the right to escort him back to Beijing for trial, but before that, he still needs to tell the local people about this dark matter to avoid being deeply frightened;
So Tang Jianqiu sent people to gather the local people to explain the situation and tell them the man's clever methods;
The mystery that had puzzled them for many days had been solved, and the people now knew what was going on. The ghosts and gods that everyone in Linyi County feared were actually people in disguise!
They didn't believe it at first, but it wasn't until the moment the truth was revealed that they realized that an evil ghost who was also a human had actually done such a heinous thing!
The people who felt that they had been deceived became more and more angry. How could they stand this anger? They all clamored to kill the shameless person to avenge their compatriots.
Tang Jianqiu understood their feelings very well, but who knew that what the big man and the local magistrate had done had aroused public resentment, and it would be difficult for Tang Jianqiu to persuade them with just his words.
In the end, after a while of his persuasion, the public resentment dissipated a little, but even so, it was still difficult to cover up the anger in their hearts;
Especially when he saw the criminal being imprisoned in the prison car, he couldn't bear the anger in his heart. He threw vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at the person to vent his anger. His words were even more unpleasant, and he almost cursed all the words he could.
The county magistrate felt guilty, especially when he saw the people under his rule looking at him with such a face, which made him blush. He just wished that there was no place for him, and he was even more ashamed and wanted to find a place to hide.
Tang Jianqiu understood the mood of the people very well. A man who was so lawless and harmed the people of Liming could not be forgiven. This incident had already made the whole city aware of the public resentment. How could the local people give him mercy?
This person has oppressed the good, has no sense of shame, only cares about himself, acts perversely, has lost all conscience, and is full of evil! As the saying goes, it is difficult to tolerate the laws of nature, and it is inevitable to blame for all deaths!
With all the crimes this guy committed, how could Tang Jianqiu forgive him so easily? He is bound to bring this despicable person to justice so that the dead people, officers and soldiers can be brought to justice.
…
Peiping, Ministry of Punishment;
Tang Jianqiu escorted the two of them there, exchanged a few words with Qiao Yunsheng, and then said goodbye with clasped fists.
Qiao Yunsheng already admired Tang Jianqiu as a person and hoped that he could stay and talk a few more words. Speaking of which, he had only met Tang Jianqiu a few times and felt that he was not as difficult to get along with as rumored;
Sometimes he thought that Tang Jianqiu, as a military attaché, could strictly enforce self-discipline and be fair and just. Wouldn't this make those corrupt officials who are blind to money feel guilty?
How lucky would it be if everyone could be as fair and honest as him?
Now that Tang Jianqiu insisted on leaving him, it was difficult to persuade him to stay, so he ordered someone to escort Tang Jianqiu to the door;
After walking to the door, Tang Jianqiu thought to himself: "In the dream, Qiao Yun was promoted to one of the Donglin Party. At that time, Wei Zhongxian also ordered me to get rid of him. Fortunately, I didn't listen to the castrated dog's slander, otherwise I wouldn't even see Mr. Qiao. ."
Now that he has taken care of this troublesome matter, he has to rush to Beizhen Fusi. The royal guards are following Tang Jianqiu closely behind him, not daring to slack off at all;
After being able to rest for a while, the local people were as frightened as a mouse seeing a cat when they saw the imperial guards in official uniforms, and they all gave way, fearing that they would be punished if they stayed even half a breath.
Tang Jianqiu seemed to have thought of something important. He turned back to look at the crowd and said:
"You guys should go back first, I have some personal matters to deal with."
"yes!"
After saying that, the Jinyi Guards walked towards where Fu Si was in Beizhen, leaving Tang Jianqiu alone.
Tang Jianqiu felt a lot of emotion when he went to Linyi County this time, because he knew that the Jinyi Guards suffered heavy sacrifices this time, and many trusted brothers also died.
It's impossible not to be sad. After all, they are all flesh and blood people. It's just that he has experienced too many killings, which makes him have to be tenacious.
At this moment, a very handsome man noticed Tang Jianqiu, who was turning his back.
At first he didn't pay attention, but when he took a closer look, he was surprised to find that this person looked so much like his acquaintance.
I saw this man in white holding a folding fan. He was elegant and elegant, with a mixture of nobility and dandy temperament. Even when he was walking on the road, many girls would still look back.
Her black hair is neatly combed behind her shoulders, with a few strands of hair fluttering gently, adding to her chic look, and her deep eyes are unforgettable.
This person was Su Jing, the young master of the Su family. It was finally his turn to take a vacation. Now that he saw that the person was very familiar, he was even more sure of his identity, so he stepped forward and said hello:
"Hey, Jianqiu, why are you here?"
Su Jing's voice was as mellow and moving as aged wine. Tang Jianqiu was stunned for a moment, then looked back at him.
It has been a long time since he heard his friends call him this. In his previous life, he was so righteous. He would rather be deprived of his official position and thrown into prison for trial than reveal a word about him.
Tang Jianqiu didn't speak for almost several breaths, and he didn't know what to say. After careful consideration, he clasped his fists at him and said, "Brother Su."
Su Jing was particularly excited when he saw the visitor. He stretched out his hand and put it on Tang Jianqiu's shoulder, and said in a very grand voice:
"Jianqiu, why are you so polite? You don't have to use such troublesome etiquette in private. It's a bit strange.
I heard that Miss Hongluan of the Shen family is very fond of you and is a childhood sweetheart. When are you two going to get married? Don't forget to invite me, I'll give you a big gift! "
