Ci Jinzhi

Chapter 283: confession

Although he traveled south this time in a simple car, Xin You always brought papers, pens and other items when he went out.

Not long after, Qianfeng took out a pen and paper and stood next to Xinyou.

Finding out that the bandits were colluding with the county magistrate was an unexpected incident. Xin You and He Qingxiao had not had time to discuss what to do, but the boss's unprompted suggestion gave her an idea in an instant.

"I am the accompanying censor supervising the Jinlin Guard's handling of the case. I have doubts about the Lingxian magistrate's claim that he was working with Hu Moupi to catch all the bandits. Please tell me in detail how you got together." Xin You said, looking at He Qingxiao. .

He Qingxiao frowned: "Jia Yushi, Zheng County Magistrate reported the situation of the bandits to our knowledge as soon as possible, and also showed the record of receipts and transactions with the bandits. I think he is fine."

The Xia Dynasty had strong soldiers and horses, and there was no way out for rebellion. Zheng Ming, the magistrate of Ling County, colluded with the mountain bandits, obviously not to establish himself as king, but because of greed for money. The boss must have given Zheng Ming a lot of benefits, so there would be no loopholes.

Sure enough, the headmaster sneered when he heard this: "What kind of good official do you think he is? He turned a blind eye to our murders and robberies with just a bunch of money. This is because he saw Jin Linwei coming, and he was afraid that the matter of accepting bribes would be exposed, and he was also worried about getting involved. He was charged with colluding with a traitor general, so he hurriedly pretended to be a good person."

"In that case, you should explain it carefully. Jia was appointed by the emperor to accompany him as a supervisor. Although the Jinlin Guards are majestic, Jia also has his own persistence." Xin You straightened her back slightly, showing a bit of pride.

The head of the house found out that Jia Yushi and Jin Linwei were not dealing with each other. Thinking about Zheng Zhixian stepping on his bones to perform meritorious service, his heart was filled with hatred. He said in one breath: "I am a leader under General Wu. My name is My name is Li Qiang. At that time, General Wu died, and I escaped with some luck and came to Ling County with some people..."

The eldest master said angrily, everyone listened quietly, only the sixth master looked strange.

This is not right, these two young masters, oh, these two adults obviously have a very good relationship, and I only heard about the boss after they were caught. After entering the county seat, the two adults did not deal with the government. They only left two men to **** Xiaoba to the Yamen this morning—

 The Sixth Master's eyes flickered, and he came up with a guess: Could it be that the First Master was deceived by these people?

 It's a pity that he was gagged and couldn't speak out. After having this idea, the Sixth Master couldn't move his hands or speak, so he rolled his eyes.

 Why did he have to remind him? These people from the eldest family killed his brother and took his mountain stronghold. It was just that he could really lead the brothers in Wuyun Village to have fun, but in the end he recruited Jin Linwei.

This is to bring down their Wuyun Village in one fell swoop, these broomsticks!

After the boss finished speaking, Xin You also finished writing. He handed the pen to Ping An and said thank you to Qian Feng, who was bending over to act as a table desk.

 “Can you read?”

To Xin You's question, the headmaster said coldly: "This is natural."

“Then take a look and see if there are any omissions or biases.”

 The headmaster looked at the still-dry ink on the paper and nodded: "That's right."

 “Then just sign and stamp it.”

Once he heard the signature, the boss looked wary and was about to refuse.

Xin You smiled: "You committed these things, don't you think you can escape, right? Whether you will be tortured at the hands of Jinlin Guards, or whether it will be decided by the Third Law Division after Jia Mou reports, I believe you can make your own decision."

For officials and nobles, being interrogated by the Three Laws and the Eight Laws is not that scary. At most, they will lose their heads. However, entering the Jinlin Guards is like entering purgatory.

“This confession is also the basis for Jia to report his crimes to the magistrate of Ling County in the future. Of course, it is also possible, as Mr. He has judged, that Magistrate Zheng used his body as bait. Not only is he not guilty, but he has merit—”

 “I sign!”

Looking expressionlessly at the headmaster signing the confession, Xin You felt relieved and said to He Qingxiao, "Master He, please take a step to speak." He Qingxiao said with a smile in his eyes: "Okay."

Leaving the others to guard the surviving bandits, Xin You and He Qingxiao went to a tree not far away.

 “Jia Yushi is very witty, and He admires him.”

 “Lord Quanjoga, please cooperate with me tacitly.”

 The two looked at each other and smiled, then turned to the topic.

“We didn’t bring many people with us on this trip. We originally planned to hand it over to the local government first and report to Beijing urgently. Now that we have discovered that the bandit is a traitor who slipped through the net and colluded with the local magistrate, we may have to make other arrangements.”

 “What are your plans, Mr. He?”

"There is a Ningshan Guard stationed not too far away from Ling County. For this trip, I will give you the soldiers who can mobilize the local guards. I plan to mobilize the Ningshan Guard to arrest the magistrate of Ling County and eliminate the mountain bandits."

He Qingxiao’s plan was sound, but Xin You made a point: “There is a flood in Ningshanwei, and it may take a long time to come to support. I have an idea, just use people like us...”

 After hearing what Xin You said, He Qingxiao's eyes flashed with excitement.

 Her plan is bold but extremely feasible. If he didn't have to protect her going south, he would do this first.

“Master He, do you think it’s feasible?”

Facing her expectant eyes, He Qingxiao nodded unconsciously, but hesitated when she smiled: "Although the plan is feasible, it is still a bit risky -"

Xin You stopped laughing and said seriously: "Master He, I know your mission is to protect my safety. But I am not a fragile porcelain, let alone a fragile porcelain. There is nothing foolproof in this world, drinking water can still Wouldn't it be boring to choke people to death and shrink back due to the slightest risk when there is great certainty?"

He Qingxiao looked at her serious look and was silently convinced.

 The girls he knew had always been like this. It was his business to protect her, not to prevent her from being herself in the name of protection.

"This time we went south to pick up my late mother's coffin and brought it to Beijing. There were so many roads and so many people, but we happened to meet that group of merchants and mastered the evil deeds of collusion between officials and bandits. Maybe this is God's will. I did this for the sake of suffering. Ordinary people who are troubled by bandits are also accumulating blessings for their late mother. Mr. He, just agree." Xin You knew that this plan could not be accomplished by just her and the two guards, so her tone softened at the end.

He Qingxiao, who had already silently agreed in her heart, felt her heart skip a beat and nodded hurriedly.

Xinyou curled her lips: "Thank you, Mr. He."

 After returning, He Qingxiao ordered: "Change back to Jinlin Guards clothes and return to Ling County."

The accompanying Jinlin Guards all had their own guard uniforms in their baggage, which they wore in order to meet the team escorting the coffin of the late Queen. After listening to He Qingxiao's instructions, everyone quickly changed into their guard uniforms. They were all majestic. Although there were not many people, the momentum was completely different.

 Including him, the eldest master has three living members, plus the sixth master, there are four people in total. They were **** and gagged, and one of the Jinlin Guards took another one and got ready to go.

Xin You glanced at the corpses of bandits that were dragged into the forest and suggested, "Take these corpses with you and let the officials and people of Ling County see them with their own eyes."
