Chapter 847: Zhixian Poison Banquet
Hearing this, Su Scarlet couldn't help pursing her lips, and glanced at Yicheng County Cheng, as if thinking: "Don't worry, I promised you something, I will naturally do what I say, but ...... Even if I am willing to let you go, those people may not be willing to let you go, and now although you have avoided the killer by mistake, as long as they continue to investigate, you can avoid the first year of junior high school, and you may not be able to escape the fifteenth.

"This ...... I'm just an eight-rank petty official, I don't know anything, why are they chasing me?" Yicheng County Cheng frowned anxiously, and his forehead was already covered with beads of sweat the size of beans.
"You really don't know anything, but they don't know that you don't know anything, in their opinion, you are alive, you are a hidden danger, do you say that they are willing to spend more effort to hunt you down, or are they willing to leave a hidden danger to make themselves worry all day long, and even very likely to die?" Su Scarlet asked faintly.
Hearing this, Yicheng County's hands immediately clenched.
Because the answer to this question is already very clear, let alone someone else, even if it is him, he will choose to protect himself and hunt down others.
"It's not running, it's not running, what should I do, what should I do......" Yicheng County Cheng muttered, suddenly his eyes lit up as if he saw a savior, and he grabbed Su Scarlet's hand: "You save people to the end, help me, although I deserve it, but I only embezzled dozens of taels of silver, and many of them were taken to honor the county lord, and I really didn't deserve death......"
Only embezzled a few dozen taels of silver?
Hearing this, Su Scarlet couldn't wait to slap Yicheng County Cheng.
It is precisely because every official does not regard the amount of corruption he has embezzled is too large that the trend of corruption has been repeatedly banned.
If every official steals needles as gold, how can the people affected by the disaster be so miserable?
But angry is angry, Yicheng County Cheng has a sentence that is right, that is...... He will not sin unto death.
And most importantly...... Keeping Yicheng County's life alive may still be useful in the future.
Thinking of this, Su Feise immediately took it: "I can arrange for your family to leave Qi Country and go to a safe place, not only that, but I can cover the food and housing of your family, only a little ...... You'll have to promise me. ”
"You say, you say. As soon as he heard that Su Scarlet could not only ensure that his family would not die, but also provide food and housing for his family, Yicheng County Cheng's eyes immediately lit up.
"When you get to the place, you have to cooperate with my arrangement, don't run around, otherwise you will be discovered by the killer...... Don't blame me for not protecting you. Su Scarlet said.
"Okay, it's up to you. Su Scarlet's words fell, and Yicheng County Cheng immediately responded.
The most important thing for him now is to save his life, and the rest...... He is willing to agree to any conditions.
"Also, once I dig out the mastermind behind this whole thing, no matter who this mastermind is, when you need to testify in front of the emperor, you have to agree, and you can't shirk. Su Scarlet said again.
"This ......" knew with his toes that the person behind this whole thing must not be simple, and he was just a small Bapin County Cheng...... Isn't asking him to testify for his life?
Thinking of this, Yicheng County Cheng's face immediately showed a look of embarrassment: "This is ......"
"What's wrong with this? can't you do it?" Su Scarlet raised her eyebrows: "It doesn't matter if you can't do it, I won't force you, but you have to think about your family, your wife, and your children...... If the masterminds behind the scenes don't die, they won't be able to live in peace, do you want to see them live in such hiding all their lives?"
"This ......" Yicheng County Cheng naturally understood what Su Scarlet meant.
He promised to testify, he was indeed in danger, but he could ensure the safety of his family, but if he did not go out to testify......
Can't Yicheng County think too much, Su Scarlet continued: "Since you have done something wrong, you have to accept punishment, but one person should do things and one person should do it, and you can't affect your family." ”
If you do something wrong, you must accept punishment, but one person should do things and one person should not affect his family......
Su Scarlet said a word, saying the blood hidden in the depths of Yicheng County's soul.
I think back then, he was also a young man with great ambitions and vowed to be a good official.
Back in the day......
Now that he has come to this point, he is indeed very wrong.
If you are wrong, you must have the courage to take responsibility, and if you are wrong, you must turn the tide for your family!
"Good. Yicheng County Cheng's eyes quickly flashed with firmness, and Su Scarlet's eyes were also a little more grateful: "I promise you, once you find out who is behind the scenes, I will definitely testify for you, tell everything I know, and repay you for saving my family today." ”
"No, you are not doing this to repay me for saving your family today, what I did is not to make you grateful to repay, you are doing this to make up for the mistakes you made before, to do your due responsibility for the people and the country, and even more ...... Worthy of your ten-year cold window and the dreams of your youth. Su Scarlet said lightly, turned around and pulled Yu Xuanji away: "I will send someone over to settle your family in a while, you just have to listen to his orders." ”
This......
It's not to repay, it's to make up for the mistakes he made before, it's to do his due duty for the people and the country, and it's even more ...... is worthy of his ten-year cold window and the dream of his youth.
Dreams of youth......
If it weren't for Su Scarlet to mention it today, he would almost ...... I've almost forgotten it.
The young man who used to read at night with a lamp, and was not afraid of hard work to stand up for the people.
The boy who looked at his parents and the villagers looked at him with anticipation.
The young man who doesn't care about the big and small officials, as long as he can do something for the people, he is satisfied.
Where did it go?
Why was he forgotten?
"What have I done for so many years......" Yicheng County Cheng was heartbroken, and tears flowed down his cheeks.
Hearing his cry, Su Scarlet immediately pursed her lips with relief: "It's not too bad, and it's not in vain that God spared his life." ”
"It's a pity that this officialdom is like a big dye vat, how many people like him are there?" Yu Xuanji took it, and the light in his eyes flickered and dimmed, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking in his heart.
"So...... There may be only one thing that people have to do in this life, that is, stick to their hearts and not be shaken by this world. As she spoke, Su Scarlet suddenly raised her eyes and glanced at Yu Xuanji, and the corners of her lips hooked slightly.
She will also stick to her heart and will not waver.
"Ninth Master, madam, are you back?" Praruo was ordering people to move the bodies of the slain officials and traders back to the county mansion, and when he saw Su Scarlet and Yu Xuanji coming, he hurried to meet them.
Su Scarlet nodded, and then spoke: "Have all the corpses been moved back?
"They've all moved back, no more, no less, exactly six, and...... The way they died was disguised as an accident, or even the same accident. Prajna said.
When his words fell, Su Scarlet's brows immediately twisted: "The same accident?"
In order not to expose the assassination, it is expected that the killer will disguise the deaths of these officials and traders as an accident, but what about disguising it as the same accident?
"These bodies were not found in their respective homes, but were found together in the homes of Yicheng Zhixian, when we found these bodies, some of them fell to the ground, some fell on chairs, their faces were blue, the corners of their mouths were overflowing with black blood, and there were unfinished drinks and dishes in front of them, it was obvious that they were poisoned while eating and drinking, which has just been confirmed by the table. Prajna said truthfully what he saw.
And after he finished speaking, Su Scarlet's heart immediately sank, and she finally understood why Praruo would say that it was the same accident.
Because these officials died together......
Or rather, they were disguised as dying together.
Without waiting for Su Scarlet to think more, Praruo took out six more letters from his arms: "This is found from these six people's homes, and the subordinates haven't seen it yet, please take a look at the ninth master, Mrs. ”
Found from these six people's homes?
Su Fei frowned slightly, took the six letters and opened them one by one, and when she saw the last letter, there was already a layer of anger in her eyes: "Okay, good, really thoughtful!"
Hearing this, Yu Xuanji immediately hooked the corners of her lips: "If the governor is not mistaken, five of these six letters are invitations from the magistrate to others, inviting them to his house as guests, as for the last one...... It should be the county's own confession, which says that since his embezzlement of disaster relief materials was discovered by the emperor, it was a dead end, but he was unwilling to die alone, so he called several other people who were corrupt together to his house and died with him...... Isn't that right?"
This......
Praruo hadn't read these letters, and he didn't know what was written in them, so he didn't react, but Su's crimson eyes immediately widened in surprise.
Because all the contents of these letters were told by Yu Xuanji!
"How do you know?" asked Su Scarlet as she turned her head in surprise.
Seeing her like this, Yu Xuanji immediately chuckled: "Isn't this obvious? It's easy to create the illusion that these people died unexpectedly, but ...... It is difficult to create the illusion that so many people died unexpectedly at once, and not to arouse the suspicion of others, and there is no need for some special method......"
