Chapter Ninety-Nine: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole (I)

Early the next morning, Qi Run got up early, and after washing up and changing into official clothes, he instructed the attendant at the door: "You go and call two officials to come over." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info By the way, Steward Wu also called, Master Ben has something to say. The attendant bowed respectfully and replied, "Yes, sir." With that, he went to summon the official and Wu Changgao. After a while, the kung fu attendant came back with two officials and Wu Changgao.

After seeing the officer, Qi Runben handed the announcement with a big seal on the bookcase to the officer, and instructed: "The two of you will post this announcement on the bulletin board in the south square where the victims are located, and tell them that the poisoning case has a preliminary result, and I believe that they will be able to get justice for them in the near future, let them recuperate quietly, and the official will warn them as soon as there is any result, and this time it is not their false accusation, Jin Fuxuan was framed." They will be acquitted today. Let's hope they don't dwell on it. The real culprit is someone else. Let's just tell them this. Go ahead. After the two officials received the announcement, they respectfully bowed to Qi Runben and responded: "Yes, the subordinates will do it." With that, the two men turned and left.

After the two of them left, Qi Run said to Wu Changgao: "Changgao, you can go to the hall with me." Wu Changgao nodded slightly, and then followed Qi Runben to ascend to the hall.

On the public court, Qi Runben picked up the shengtang wood, slapped it heavily, and said, "Take everyone from Jinfuxuan to the court." After speaking, a few officials went to the cell to take people, and after a while, Kong Haoyu and they all stood on top of the public court, Qi Runben stood up after seeing them coming, and announced: "Now I announce, because there has been new progress in the poisoning case of some people in Nancheng this time, and after investigation, the person who poisoned him is someone else who has nothing to do with everyone in Jinfuxuan, so now the official announced in the court that everyone in Jinfuxuan is not guilty, and they can go home today. Because this case has caused unnecessary reputational impact to Jin Fuxuan, this official can only say to you: I'm sorry, please forgive me. After speaking, Qi Runben bowed deeply to Kong Haoyu and them.

Kong Haoyu and the others glanced at each other, and they didn't know what to say, but fortunately, it had only been a few days since the case happened, and they had not been tortured in any way except for living in a prison cell. It's finally all right.

After Qi Runben made the announcement, he sent the group out of the government in person with apologies. After being sent to the door of the mansion, Qi Run did not forget to apologize to Kong Haoyu: "Young Master Kong, I have really offended me in the past few days, please forgive me." The lower officials are only executed in accordance with the laws of this dynasty, so I hope you don't mind. The guards went and prepared the officer's carriage. After saying that, the guard next to him hurriedly responded, turned around and went to prepare the car.

"No, I can understand Lord Qi doing this." Kong Haoyu hurriedly said, "Actually, Lord Qi has already taken good care of us. And there is no need to prepare a car, which is not too far away, and a few of us will go back on foot. Don't bother. ”

"It's nothing, it's nothing, it's all what the lower officials should do, so the eldest young master doesn't have to shirk. …… Actually, it's ......," Qi Runben just wanted to say that it was because of Kong Liangbo's orders, and later because Wei Yongnian provided extremely useful clues, so he did not move the execution, but in the end, even if there were no such reasons, he Qi Runben did not dare to move the punishment casually, after all, there was no conclusive evidence, and then he saw the guards leading the carriage over and continued, "Hey, it's nothing, the carriage has been prepared, it's a little small, and a few people don't dislike it, so they will be a little squeezed, and it should be a little compensation from the lower officials." As he spoke, he asked Kong Haoyu and the others to get into the car. Kong Haoyu couldn't refuse anymore, so he nodded and responded: "That's really Lord Lao Qi." After speaking, he took the lead in getting into the carriage, and the other groups saw that Kong Haoyu got into the car, and then stretched out their hands to pull them to ride in the carriage together, and they all got into the carriage in an orderly manner. After everyone got into the carriage, Kong Haoyu said respectfully to Qi Runben, "Then thank you Lord Qi." If you are free, you can come to Jin Fu Xuan, I will do the east, please have a meal, talk about the heart, thank you. ”

"Okay, then I'll be respectful and obey." Qi Runben smiled, "When there is a chance, the lower officials will definitely visit." Then you should be safe all the way. The next official will not be far away. After speaking, Kong Haoyu and his entourage left the Yamen of the Nancheng Deacon in Qi Runben's carriage.

After Qi Run saw Kong Haoyu and them go away, he turned around and entered the yamen, and after returning to the yamen, he instructed the yamen: "You take six or seven officials to change into civilian clothes, and go out from the back door of the yamen and the back door of my mansion respectively, and then you go to the tea shop on Taosuraba Street at the back gate of the yamen like ordinary people to drink tea, and the steward Wei will come to take you to a place, you just follow him, and you must not act rashly when you arrive at the destination, Unless the people inside have escaped, you can arrest them, and if not, follow Manager Wei and keep an eye on me. Do you understand? ”

The official nodded and replied, "Yes, my subordinates understand." After hearing the officer's reply, Qi Runben waved his hand lightly and said, "Then you can do it." After saying that, the official retreated and asked someone to do things according to Qi Runben's instructions. After the official left, Wu Changgao said to Qi Runben: "Then what are we going to do next?" Qi Runben looked at Wu Changgao and said lightly: "Next, we can wait quietly for their report." Wait for the 'snake' to strike. ”

According to Qi Runben's instructions, the official took six officials to a tea shop on Taosurabaya Street, where they met Wei Yongnian, Wei Yongnian simply told them: "I will take you to a place and get there, you must hide so that no one can find out about us." Don't show your head when you hide and stare at it, do you know, officials? The seven officials nodded and replied in unison, "Got it." ”

After speaking, Wei Yongnian took the seven servants to the place where the three people were hiding and kept an eye on them. Just after they stared at it, they saw the third child come back in a panic. I saw him knocking on the door in a panic, and the people inside suddenly felt a little unhappy when they heard such a knocking posture, and complained angrily while opening the door: "Come on, don't knock, if you knock on the door again, you will knock out a hole." Don't knock! As soon as he opened the door, before the person who opened the door said anything, the third child hurriedly raised his feet and stepped in, and then he did not forget to see if there were any people around him, and when he saw that there was no him, he hurriedly closed the door with a "bang".

He entered the door in a hurry, and sat on the ground with the person who opened the door, and the third child calmed down a little and looked at the person who was knocked down by himself and said, "Yo." Second brother, why are you sitting on the ground, get up quickly. I've got something urgent to say, so let's get inside. ”

The second child first looked at the panicked third child in a daze, and then said angrily: "No, you don't know how I sat on the ground?" ”

The third child was a little stunned when he heard this, and shook his head slightly, and then the second child continued to accuse angrily: "...... You slammed the door outside in a panic, and I opened it for you, and before I could free my feet, you just crashed into me without looking at me, and hit me with an upside-down onion. And now you ask me how I sit on the floor, and now you know how I sit on the floor, right? Also, what's the matter with you being so flustered today? ”

"Oh, let's go into the house and say let's go into the house." The third child hurriedly helped the second child up and said, "Something is wrong." ”

As soon as he entered the house, the boss was alone in the house and played with the dice. As soon as the third child entered the house, he shouted: "Big brother, something happened!" Just now I was about to buy some snacks and food, and I happened to pass by the government, and I saw that the government had released all the people from Jinfuxuan, and then they returned to Jinfuxuan in the carriage of the official. Later, I went to the south square and saw a new announcement posted there, saying that the government had a new clue, and according to the current clues, the gang of people in Jinfuxuan were innocent, and they were released today, but the government got new clues and was investigating, and when I saw this, I hurried back, big brother, you said the government would not find us, right? ”

When the eldest heard the third child's story, he was shocked and dropped the dice in his hand. He looked at the third child in surprise, suddenly became stammered, and said, "What...... What the? You've just ...... Say what? Did the government release them? This...... What do you mean? ”

"But isn't it, the government doesn't know what clues it has today, and it's only been a few days since the people were released." The third child repeated, "Boss, if you let the employer know about this, what can you do?" How do we explain it? ”

"Third child, are you telling the truth?" The second child is still a little lucky about this, hoping that all this is fake, "Are you sure you didn't read the content of the announcement?" ”

"Second brother, I'm not illiterate, the announcement was posted today. And it was stamped with the great seal of the government. Do you think I can see the difference? The third child was sure that he was not mistaken, and replied, "Besides, the person was also released, and he walked in the carriage of the official master, if you don't believe it, you can go to Jinfuxuan immediately to take a look, second brother, I really didn't read it wrong." ”

"Boss, that's a big deal." The second child also became anxious and said, "This is really terrible." Boss, come up with an idea. ”

“……。” The boss was silent for a while, then reassured, "...... Let me think about it,...... Let me think about it. I've got to think of a complete solution to ....... As he spoke, he lowered his head and wandered around the room with his hands behind his back. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense, and the tension was almost suffocating. These two little brothers looked at their eldest brother for a long time without saying a word, and they were even more anxious in their hearts, like ants on a hot pot at this moment, restless. The two exchanged anxious emotions in their hearts from time to time, but even so, neither of them dared to ask first at this time.

After a while, the boss suppressed the sense of urgency in his heart, first moved the cabinet and looked at the things he hid, which was still there, and then returned to the original, and then said: "So don't panic the two of you, whether the employer knows it or not, this thing is still in our hands, and our lives will not be lost for a while, let's leave here for a day or two to hide in another place, and then see what the situation is here, if the employer still hasn't come for a long time, it means that the employer doesn't know yet, At that time, we were thinking about how to escape. This matter itself is a hot potato, since the government has found some clues, it is better to let the government investigate. Anyway, the main source of this is not our brothers. It's really a matter of losing his life, so my brother and wife will give the employer a fish to death. It's impossible to say who will die by then. ”

After listening to the eldest brother's words, the two younger brothers nodded in agreement. So the brother cleaned up a little, took the silver with him, and was about to go out together. But all this was calculated by Wei Yongnian, and just when their brother and son went out and were about to run away, Wei Yongnian took seven officials to capture this brother and sister.
