When I arrived at the restaurant, the county magistrate had not yet come, so it was very good, and it was necessary to invite someone to arrive earlier than the guest, so as to appear sincere. The reply that Chief Qiu received from the prefectural magistrate was that the prefectural magistrate would definitely come. Ni Jinghe asked for a private room on the second floor of the restaurant, so that it would be more convenient to talk about things at that time.
Ni Jinghe planned to make it clear to Lord Hexian that he was a cultivator, and that doing some industry in this mundane world was to ensure the conditions for his family to live, and he didn't want to have those bad things to distract his cultivation energy. There is also the thing that was framed by Dou Erxiong, if the county magistrate can't bring this person to justice, then he will have to do it himself, and at that time, as long as the county magistrate cooperates.
After a while, the county magistrate came with his master. Ni Jinghe asked Mr. Qiu to accompany him, and after eating Chinese food, he served tea, and Ni Jinghe said his purpose. Ni Jinghe played a careful trick and did not tell his identity as an immortal cultivator first. only said that he had found out Dou Erxiong's motive for the crime, and hoped that the county government could continue to investigate. Not surprisingly, the county magistrate began to shirk and said that there was no actual evidence and that Dou Erxiong could not be arrested directly. That master was even more provocative of Ni Jinghe, saying that Dou Erxiong was the third prince, not comparable to a small person like Ni Jinghe. Ni Jinghe didn't get angry herself, but made Qinglian angry. With a wave of his hand, his mouth full of teeth fell out, and he became a mute without a sound. Ni Jinghe saw that Qinglian had done it, so she didn't ramble, and told the county magistrate that Qinglian was a person with magical powers, and it was best for him to cooperate with himself to do things, or this maid of his own was short-tempered, and he couldn't tolerate others being disrespectful to him.
Qinglian's wave of her hand scared the county commander and the master who didn't know how to lift up, although Ni Jinghe didn't say who she was, but with this maid around her, her identity was imagined by these two people. The more the county magistrate and the blind master thought about it, the more frightened they became, the county magistrate was fine, but he was frightened and didn't speak. The timid and unscrupulous master was so frightened that he knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed and screamed for mercy, but the throat that was blocked by Qinglian's voice couldn't make a little sound, so he was even more frightened and kowtowed desperately. Ni Jinghe probably guessed that this master should have been in cahoots with that Dou Erxiong, and now that he knew that he was an immortal cultivator who couldn't be messed with, he was scared like this.
Ni Jinghe asked Qinglian to relieve his dumbness and let him confess his crimes. In order to be afraid that the confession would be suddenly retracted at that time, he asked the county magistrate to record it. When this master came down with him for the crime of colluding with Dou Erxiong, there were more than ten pages, some of which he was involved in, and some of which he knew, this Dou Erxiong was really a heinous guy. After getting the master's confession, Ni Jinghe asked the county commander to send a catcher to arrest Dou Erxiong with Qinglian.
At this time, the county ordered the adults to come to their senses, and said that it would not be so easy to catch this Dou Erxiong. This guy has invited a lot of martial artists at home, and there are only eight of them in the county government, and he doesn't have any great skills, but he just serves as a façade deterrent, and he can't beat those martial artists. Ni Jinghe told him that it didn't matter, as long as Qinglian went, he would be able to bring people back smoothly. The county magistrate put his mind at ease, thinking that he would have to try it after he was caught, so he asked Ni Jinghe to go to the county office together. Ni Jinghe also means this, it's been two or three days, although there is a little letter back, but the family should still be worried. Hurry up and go back after taking care of things, it's better to have your own home.
Ni Jinghe followed the county magistrate to the county office, and the county magistrate asked Ni Jinghe to wait behind the public court, and he personally took the arrest with Qinglian to arrest the criminal. Ni Jinghe sat impatiently and waited, so she walked around the backyard of the county office. Walking and stopping, I unconsciously walked into the place where my family lived. When Ni Jinghe found out, she heard a violent cough when she wanted to go back. The sound of coughing made Ni Jinghe, the person who listened, feel that his lungs hurt, and you can imagine how sad the person who was coughing must be. With some pity and curiosity, Ni Jinghe followed the sound of coughing. With the voice, Ni Jinghe came to the front of a building, and really heard the sound of incessant coughing and panicked footsteps on the second floor, the sound of the maid talking and patting her back. The coughing sound sounded like that of a woman, who was presumably seriously ill. When Ni Jinghe wanted to go upstairs to see who was sick, someone from the county government came and said that he had arrested Dou Erxiong. Now waiting for Ni Jinghe to pass, he will be tried in court. When Ni Jinghe walked into the county office, she was startled, why did she kneel to catch a Dou Erxiong? Are there still men and women here? What's going on? Ni Jinghe looked at Qinglian with inquiring eyes. Qinglian saw that her young lady had a question to ask, so she walked to Ni Jinghe's side and whispered the origin of the people in this room.
It turned out that when Qinglian and the county commander went to arrest people, Dou Erxiong, who was kneeling at the front, resisted arrest and asked the thug martial artists he raised to resist. Qinglian used a spell to freeze all those people, and quickly tortured them all without much effort. Those women were all victims who were robbed by Dou Erxiong, and when they saw that Dou Erxiong was arrested, they went to the county government together to avenge their grievances. Ni Jinghe looked at the dozen or so women kneeling in the hall, and she was angry. Unwilling to hear about the bad incident of the beast who should go to hell again, Qinglian once again used the spell that made Qiu Yuanwai's wife confide the truth of the matter last time. Let those people confess on their own, saving trouble.
This Dou Erxiong is really a heinous guy, bullying men and women, committing adultery, burning, killing and robbing, and doing everything. Ni Jinghe only stayed in the public court for an hour, and then she couldn't listen to it anymore, so she left Qinglian and Chief Manager Qiu there, and went back to her residence first.
It was indeed a little tired that she was busy outside all day, and after Ni Jinghe washed up, she went to the bed and lay down, and stopped cultivating. But I couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, and my mind always remembered the coughing sound I heard in the backyard of the county government before, so I rolled on the bed until Qinglian came back. Qinglian saw that Ni Jinghe was not asleep, so she told her about the situation in the county office, it turned out that Dou Erxiong's concubine was not the concubine of the third prince at all, but she was accepted by one of the three princes' subordinates, and she was still a nameless outer room. It's just that the third prince needs someone to help him collect money, and his subordinate acquiesced to this Dou Erxiong borrowing the name of the third prince in Xinruo County to fake the tiger.
When Ni Jinghe understood the situation, she was even more relieved, at least on the bright side, she didn't have to face the third prince who had never met, and when the time came, she would say that she had caught a Xiaoxiao who destroyed the reputation of the third prince, so that the third prince would have nothing to say. After all, Ni Jinghe didn't want to leave too much cause and effect in this world, although now Ni Jinghe didn't understand why he thought like this, but subconsciously felt that he should do this. After a long time, Ni Jinghe was very glad that she had made such a decision now, because leaving too much cause and effect in the world, which would hinder her later cultivation, and if she couldn't let go, she wouldn't be able to cultivate well, and it would also hinder her state of mind.
