Chapter 9: Hostage Exchange

Huang Zhutou besieged Ying'er with the officials, Ying'er didn't care, she made a cold light sword superb, and the two sides fought less than ten moves, and those officials were beaten to the ground with blue noses and swollen eyes, and fell to the ground one by one. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Huang Zhutou saw that the situation was not good, so he ran away.

At this time, Cao Shangfei and his people came and captured Huang Shousheng alive.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are tolerant and act under orders, please raise your noble hand and let us go." Huang Zhutou pleaded.

"Leave you alone? Hum! Don't! You helped the dog officer to loot the people's fat and ointment, and oppressed the people, and you deserved to die. Grass Fei said with a cold snort.

"Lord Zhao, I heard that you are a good official, I beg you to intercede, we have parents, wives, sons and daughters to support, and we are also forced to be helpless. Please, sir, plentiful. Huang Zhutou knelt in front of Zhao Renjie and said with tears streaming down his face.

"Get up! You are tolerant, take advantage of the court, do things according to your conscience, and don't help and abuse. Ladies and gentlemen, you are also well-known figures, don't be like them, let them go. Zhao Renjie said.

"My lord, the ransom has been brought, and we must bring back the hostages, otherwise, we will not be able to pay them." Huang Zhutou pleaded.

"Huang Zhutou, you don't have to take an inch, we will collect the money, people-wait for us to think about it before we release it." You go back and tell the dog officer surnamed Qian, bring all the people who have been detained here, and we will exchange them. Xu Dayong said.

Zhao Renjie thought in his heart: "This is a good idea, I can take this opportunity to recruit heroes such as Cao Shangfei, punish corrupt officials, and solve the bloody case in Qingshui Town." ā€

"Lord Zhao, I beg you to say something, our money can't be wasted." Huang Zhutou pleaded with Zhao Renjie again.

"Huang Zhutou, what they said is also reasonable, you go back first and tell Qian County Order, if you are willing to come to him to take the idea. Don't worry, the county lady and the children have me here, they won't be embarrassed. Zhao Renjie said.

Huang Zhutou had no choice, so he had to go back with the official to restore his life.

Qian County Ling listened to Huang Zhutou's report, and his face was so angry that his face turned pale, not to mention the 50,000 taels of silver meat buns beating the dog, and also provoked Zhao Renjie. If Zhao Renjie interferes in the grievances and grievances on the rivers and lakes, his old bottom will definitely be exposed. This Zhao Renjie is not a good person, and he must have come prepared.

"My lord, Zhao Renjie intervened, what should I do? Do you want to inform the prefect? The prefect has long wanted to get rid of Zhao Renjie, and this is a good opportunity. Huang Zhutou asked.

"It's a big matter, you can't be reckless, and you will lose all the games if you are not careful." The master put down the cigarette gun in his hand, spit out a puff of smoke, and said slowly.

"Master, in your opinion, what should I do next?" Qian County Ling asked.

"According to them, it is important to save the wife and the child." The master said.

"Did you take all these suspects with you?" Qian County Ling couldn't make up his mind.

"It doesn't have to be this way, just bring three people." The master said.

According to the master's words, Qian County ordered to take the hostages to the mountain temple to exchange, and secretly sent people to Yangzhou to report the news and ask for support.

Qian County Ling and Master came to the mountain temple in person, and Huang Zhutou waited outside with the hostages.

"Lord Zhao, my subordinates don't know Mount Tai with their eyes, and they are offended, please bear with me." Qian Xianling stepped forward to salute and said with a smile on his face.

Zhao Renjie smiled faintly and said: "Those who don't know are not to blame, and it is also the duty of adults to try the case, and there is no need to apologize." ā€

"Lord Zhao, my subordinates listened to Huang Zhutou's explanation of the situation, felt guilty, in order to show their sincerity, they came to exchange hostages in person, and the hostages were waiting outside, please let my wife and son go." Qian County Order pleaded.

"Don't worry, the official has to ask you a few questions." Zhao Renjie said.

"My lord, please give me advice, my subordinates know everything." Qian County Ling said.

Zhao Renjie didn't go around in circles, and asked bluntly: "How many years has Lord Qian been in office in Linjiang?" What is done each year? Where did the fifty thousand taels of silver come from? ā€

When Qian Xianling heard this, he panicked, he didn't know how to answer? I had to look at the master with a look of help, and the master understood the situation of Qian County's order, and stepped forward to bow and said: "Lord Qian has been in Linjiang for five years, and he has been working diligently for the imperial court for five years, and he has never neglected his duties. Every time Mr. Qian tried a case, he was meticulous and never let go of a suspect. ā€

"Master, according to what you say, Qian County Ling is a good official; However, good officials should be supported by the people, why are the people of Linjiang complaining? Zhao Renjie looked at the master with sharp eyes, and the master turned red.

"My lord, Master and Qian County Ling are in the same group, and he is not a good thing. I've kept an account of them both here, and I'm going to ask you to look at them. Cao Shangfei said, took out a booklet and handed it to Zhao Renjie.

Zhao Renjie looked at it and asked with a serious face: "Lord Qian, was the disaster relief grain distributed by the imperial court the year before last secretly sold to grain merchants for huge profits?" Was a poll tax levied on the common people last year? Is it your rule to pay bail first every time you try a case? You looted tens of thousands of taels of silver in a year, is there such a thing? ā€

"Slander! It's all slander! The disaster relief food was distributed by the imperial court, how can I make huge profits? The poll tax was apportioned from above, and it was not my own opinion. When I say I'm asking for bail, I just don't want more people to be implicated. As for saying that I looted the people's fat and people's ointment, it was a matter of nowhere, and if you don't believe it, you can go and inquire. Qian County Ling argued.

"Lord Qian, let me ask you, where did these 50,000 taels of white silver come from overnight? How can there be so much money in a small county order? Tell me, where does this money come from? Zhao Renjie asked.

Qian County Ling listened to it and didn't know how to answer.

The master didn't dare to talk nonsense, he could see from Zhao Renjie's words and deeds that the young man in front of him was not an ordinary Qincha.

"Lord Zhao, no one is a sage, although some things are too reckless, it is also an unintentional mistake, for handling the case, the Qian County Order still does it himself. For example, in the Qingshui Town Bloody Case, as soon as Qian County Ling heard the news, he immediately brought people to the scene. In order to find out the truth, he did not let go of the slightest clue. Master said.

Qian County Commander has been silent, he is stalling for time, waiting for reinforcements.

Zhao Renjie listened to his master's words, recalled the scene when Qian County Ling personally questioned the case in Qingshui Town, and felt that Qian County Ling was not the kind of corrupt officials and corrupt officials that Xu Dayong said.

"Qian County Order, go and call the hostages in." Zhao Renjie said.

"My lord, my subordinates only brought Xu Dapeng, Xu Pengfei and your follower, and the rest cannot be released for the time being, they are seriously suspicious. Since the adult came to Linjiang, his subordinates handed over the case to the adult for trial. Qian County Ling said.

Zhao Renjie didn't expect Qian County to borrow a donkey from the slope, the matter had come to this point, as the patrol of the eight provinces, he had to agree to come down.

"My lord, is it okay to exchange hostages?" Qian County Ling asked.

"Xu Dayong, go and bring their mother and son out and hand them over to Master Qian, people in the rivers and lakes must be trustworthy." Zhao Renjie said.

Xu Dayong glanced at Cao Shangfei, Cao Shangfei nodded, and then went inside to take out the hostages.

The two sides exchanged hostages.

Cao Shangfei and the others were about to leave with Yinliang, and Qian County Ling shouted: "Stay a good man!" This money is the official silver of the imperial court, and you can't take it. ā€

"What? Dog officer, do you want to repent? The grass flew back, his eyes wide with rage.

"It's not a repentance, these money are indeed the official silver handed over to the imperial court, I don't dare to embezzle the official silver privately, then my life is a joke." Qian Xianling said with a serious look.

"I don't care if you have official money or private money, since it is a ransom, it should be cashed. Brothers, let's go! "Grass on the fly and leave the mountain temple with his men.

"Lord Zhao, you are the minister of the Qin Mission, you have to be the master for me, these silver taels are the lives of the children of the next family, please save me." Qian Xianling took his wife and children to kneel down together, and said with tears in his eyes.

Seeing the pitiful appearance of Qian County's family, Zhao Renjie's heart softened, no matter whether Cao Shangfei and others are good or bad, it is illegal to kidnap others to ask for money, and you must take care of illegal things.

"Ying'er, go and bring them back." Zhao Renjie said.

Ying'er walked out of the mountain temple and performed light skills to catch up with Cao Shangfei and others.

"A few heroes, Lord Zhao asks you to go back." Ying'er said.

"Brother, please don't ask about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, the surname Qian is not a good bird, you must not be deceived by him. This money is the hard-earned money of the people, and we have to decide. Grass Flying said.

"Should you want it or not, Lord Zhao will give you an answer, please don't embarrass me." Ying'er said.

Xu Dayong knew Ying'er's ability, he attached himself to the grass and whispered a few words in his ear, and the grass flew and listened, a little embarrassed.
