How could he forget that Gu Ziyuan was Zeng Shengji's disciple, so he must have the skills to help him.
It is not difficult to avoid Capt. Xing's supervision and leave the inn.
The more Qiu Hong thought about it, the more scared he became.
Did Zeng Shengji and the others pass by Mingguang County by chance as he said, or was he just pretending to come here just for him?
Did he have doubts about what happened in Kyoto?
The letter he sent must have been received by that person. He thought he could hold Zeng Shengji off for ten days, giving the person enough time to send someone over to silence Zeng Shengji.
Now it has only been two days and he has disappeared. How can I explain to the people above?
Qiu Hong thought about it and waited patiently for another day, but there was still no news about Zeng Shengji. In the name of search and rescue, Captain Xing turned Mingguang County upside down, but still could not find Zeng Shengji.
However, Gu Qingjue showed up at the inn on the fourth day.
This made Qiu Hong return to his senses on the verge of losing control. Gu Qingjue did not leave, and he was not at all anxious about Zeng Shengji's disappearance for two days. Does this prove that he knew Zeng Shengji's whereabouts?
What are they doing?
Qiu Hong vaguely felt that Zeng Shengji had not fallen into a trap designed by himself, but that he had become his prey.
Qiu Hong, who was sitting in the study, stood up and issued an order.
Arrest Zeng Shengji and three others.
The name is used to deceive someone using a false identity.
He ordered the city gates to be closed, and Gu Qingjue and others were searched throughout the city.
One day passed and Gu Qingjue and the others were still not caught. Xing Baotou knelt on the ground with one knee, bearing Qiu Hong's anger.
"Sir, tomorrow is the five-day period between you and Gu Ziyuan. He should show up."
"should?"
He has already issued the arrest document, which is equivalent to tearing up his face, and he is still talking about the five-day period.
I didn’t think Xing Baotou was stupid before.
But what happened in the past few days made him question Xing's ability.
No one can stand it! ! !
And the other party is just a young man of thirteen or fourteen years old.
If it weren't for the fact that Fu Xin didn't know where he was, whether he was alive or dead, and didn't have anyone who could help him, he really wanted to give Xing Captou a hard time to clear his mind.
However, what Qiu Hong didn't expect was that early the next morning someone was beating drums to complain, and the drummer was Gu Qingjue.
The grievance drum is a huge drum set up on the east side of the ancient government office for people to complain to officials. When the grievance drum is played, the officials will go to court.
Qiu Hong's eyelids jumped happily, and his heart beat loudly.
It's like going back to a year ago.
Now Gu Qingjue was about to beat the grievance drum, and the nearby people heard the sound and had already gathered around him. He could only grit his teeth and go to the court.
"mighty……"
The yamen servants stood on both sides, with the killing sticks in their hands hitting the ground, making a clanging sound.
Very bluffing.
If you are timid, you will be so scared that you will pee your pants immediately.
Gu Qingjue stood there calmly and calmly.
Qiu Hong narrowed his eyes and shouted: "Who is here? Do you know that playing drums and gongs is a crime of disturbing the court?"
"Sir, Gu Ziyuan has no intention of disturbing the imperial court. This time he is beating the drum of grievances. It is a huge injustice that requires you to put an end to it."
Standing outside the court hall and watching, many of them were common people that night. Some of them didn't recognize Gu Qingjue at first, but they remembered after Gu Qingjue introduced him.
This is really strange.
Didn't he say that today was the five-day period between him and Magistrate Qiu to find out the murderer of Miss Qiu? Why are they beating the drum of injustice now?
Qiu Hong was shocked: "Gu Ziyuan, you still dare to show up. I have already issued an arrest document. You and your accomplices used false identities to deceive my trust. Who ordered you?"
"There's no need to blame someone if you want to."
"You mean, I have wronged you?"
"I can prove his identity." As soon as Qiu Hong finished speaking, a man in smoky blue walked in from outside the courtroom.
It's not that the government officials outside the door didn't stop me, it's just that the sign they displayed was too bluffing.
Don’t dare to stop me!
When Qiu Hong saw clearly who was coming, he stood up from his chair in shock.
"Mr. Zhao?"
When Qiu Hong was still in Kyoto, he met Zhao Jin several times. Zhao Jin had a distinguished status, so he naturally remembered it clearly.
However, why did Zhao Langjun, who was usually in Kyoto, suddenly appear in Mingguang County?
"It's me. I just heard someone playing drums to express grievances, so I came over to take a look. Unexpectedly, it was an acquaintance." After Zhao Jin finished speaking, he said to Gu Qingjue: "What grievances do you have? Anyway, Mr. Qiu was in Kyoto in the past When he was an official, he was known to be upright and honest."
Qiu Hong: "..."
Why do you hear Zhao Jin talking about him like this, as if he is scolding him?
"Yes, since Gu Langjun's identity is true, then you can talk about your grievances. However, you are not from Mingguang County. I am just the magistrate of a county, so I may not be able to make the final decision."
"Sir, I am not seeking justice for myself, but for the death of Miss Qiu."
As soon as Gu Qingjue finished speaking, everyone looked shocked.
"Who do you think you are avenging?"
"Qiu Birong, Qiu Hong's eldest daughter!"
Qiu Hong yelled in his heart, I know who it is, and I just want to ask you what kind of operation you are doing.
Because Zhao Jin was watching from the side, Qiu Hong put on a fake smile mask and asked, "Then who do you want to sue?"
"Crying about grievances is a way for people to complain to officials. Of course it is you, Mr. Qiu!"
"presumptuous!"
Qiu Hong's face turned red when he heard this: "Don't be ridiculous. I am Qiu Birong's biological father. She died in the lake. I feel more uncomfortable than anyone else. At this time, you are talking nonsense and saying that I am the murderer." . Could this officer kill his own daughter with his own hands?"
"Although you didn't kill her yourself, you sent her."
Qiu Hong pointed at Gu Qingjue with trembling hands: "This man is talking nonsense and is insane. Someone, drag him down and put him in jail."
Zhao Jinni glanced at the government servant who came forward, and said in a low voice: "Magistrate Qiu, do you think I am dead?"
Qiu Hong's face was red with anger just now. When he faced Zhao Jin, he immediately said with a smile: "I don't dare, I don't dare. It's just that this person is talking nonsense, and the official is really angry."
"The deceased was your daughter, and you should have avoided suspicion. Now that you are suspected, it just so happens that today's case will be tried by me personally."
After Zhao Jin finished speaking, he took out the token just now.
Qiu Hong wanted to retort a few words, but he suddenly fainted.
The token given by the official was like the emperor's personal visit. Even if he had the courage, he would not dare to attack Zhao Jin.
Qiu Hong gradually calmed down from his initial panic.
"Master Zhao, please!"
Zhao Jin sat in the courtroom and shot his stern eyes around the hall. The yamen officer immediately picked up the killing stick and stood upright.
He then picked up the gavel and asked Gu Qingjue according to the procedure.
"You said you wanted to sue County Magistrate Qiu for killing his daughter Qiu Birong, do you have any evidence?"
