Chapter 50: Gathering

Chandler panicked.

It was the first time in the fifty years since he was born that he had been so flustered.

He glanced at the young man in front of him, the dark eyes of the other party, the calm and serious expression, really like the Yama of the judgment in hell.

He looked around again, and the lights were overwhelming, blinding and hot, as if rolling lava was coming from all around.

He subconsciously took two steps back, but he saw the long knives in the hands of the young man and the fast catchers, and his eyes blurred for a while, and for a while it seemed that there were thousands of knives all over his face.

Qian Deguan was afraid.

The gossip around, the magma-like lights around it, the dazzling long knives around, and the fateful Yama in front of him.

At this moment, he felt that he had fallen into hell.

He trembled, his fists clenched, his nails digging into his flesh, hoping that the pain would ease the void.

But this Yama was clearly not going to give him a chance.

"Fifteen years ago, when I was reclaiming a mine the day after tomorrow, I accidentally beat an absentee to death because he was too slow to abandon the workers."

"During the Spring Festival of the same year, you were drunk and drowned in a well not far away when a beggar on the side of the road accidentally bumped into it."

"Thirteen Years ...... Ago"

β€œ......”

Truman's tone was flat, but when the people around him heard it, it was as if he was in an ice cube, and it was bitterly cold.

They were still having a heated discussion, but now they were speechless.

They couldn't imagine that in this splendid Great Jin, in this Great Jin where the emperor is wise and the people are simple, there will be such a demon.

"Kill him!" I don't know who shouted.

"Kill him!"

More and more people are echoing.

"Kill him!"

Everyone began to shout in unison, like drums.

This sound of drumming is like a sharp sword, as if it wants to break Qian Deguan little by little.

He stepped back, his eyes looking around in horror.

He cried out in despair.

Why haven't the dry guys come yet?

Why does this prefectural magistrate know so many of his secrets?

"Shh

Truman put his finger between his lips.

After a slight cooldown in the field, he smiled slightly.

"Don't worry, there's more."

......

At the back of the crowd, a high point.

Mrs. Luo was tightly wrapped in a thick jacket to cover her fairy-like body.

Her eyes were fixed on the boy in the center of the room, and she smiled slightly.

......

In a restaurant where you can see the gate of the Qian family.

A young girl held a piece of rice paper, looked at the bright light, and then looked at the rice paper in her hand.

A smile appeared on the quiet and gentle face for the first time in a long time.

......

compartments.

Quietly stood a masked girl.

Her eyes lit up as she looked down quietly.

Next to her was the same beautiful girl, who walked over with her chest shaking.

Said with some disdain: "This is the county magistrate who hung the four of us on the flower boat that night." ”

The masked girl nodded.

"He's pretty and his poetry is good, but..."

Fang Yan turned his head to the masked girl and said, "Hua Yao, you say, who did he write that night's poem?" ”

The masked girl turned her head and said with a slight smile: "That night, the county magistrate only saw Sister Fangyan, who else could it be if it wasn't Sister Fangyan?" ”

Getting the imaginary answer, Fang Yan smiled stupidly.

......

The restaurant where Truman stayed at the earliest.

There was a middle-aged man holding an ancient jade in his hand, and not far behind him, an obese man was drinking all the wine in one gulp.

These two people are Chen Pinli and Zhao Dahai.

Zhao Dahai drank wine and muttered, "Master Chen, don't look any further, you won't be able to sleep at night in the future." ”

Chen Pinli stared at the distance, and then at Zhao Dapang, but he didn't speak, and followed the former's advice and walked over and sat down.

Zhao Dahai smiled slightly, poured a glass of wine for Chen Pinli, and then said: "But you can also take a look, familiarize yourself with the process first, so as not to be at a loss when the county magistrate brings the catchers to the door in the future." ”

Chen Pinli didn't look at the wine poured by Zhao Dahai, but also picked up the ancient jade in his hand and pinched it hard.

"You say."

He spoke, staring at the ancient jade in his hand.

"You say, what will happen to us if we surrender to the prefectural magistrate now?"

Zhao Dahai laughed, and after drinking the wine in the cup again, he said jokingly: "What, the dignified head of the Chen family is scared?" ”

Chen Pinli stared at Zhao Dahai, and said slowly: "The Qian family has been the boss of Yangzhou County for almost fifty years by relying on that business, they are old and rotten, all of them are arrogant, no one in their eyes, self-righteous, in the past fifty years, Yangzhou County has changed five or six county orders, these county orders are either afraid of the people behind them, or they are bribed with silver taels, and turn a blind eye, but now this county order ......"

Zhao Dahai didn't stop drinking, and spoke hummingly: "This county magistrate also accepted our silver, if you want to blame it, it's to blame Qian Dekai for being too rigid that day, wouldn't it be okay if he took out the silver early?" ”

"Do you really think that the prefectural magistrate will not trouble us because he received our money?"

Zhao Dahai laughed: "No one will have a hard time with silver, just like I won't get along with wine, and you won't have a hard time with the jade in your hand." ”

Chen Pinli shook his head and said, "You are too naΓ―ve. ”

"Naive? How so? Zhao Dahai put down his wine glass rarely.

"The people don't know these foolish things in Qian Deguan, can you and I not know, and the crimes listed by this Chu County Commander just now are not much different from what you and you know, and even he who we don't know can tell the story."

"Those bad things between you and me, maybe this county magistrate already knew about it, and he who knows these things, will let us have a good end?"

Zhao Dahai's eyes were slightly gloomy.

Chen Pinli closed his eyes and sighed: "Ten thousand taels is not enough to buy our lives." ”

"Then let's just give him more money, 10,000 taels if it doesn't work, 100,000 taels if it doesn't work, 200,000 taels if it doesn't work, and if it doesn't work, ......" Zhao Dahai's face revealed a few traces of murderous intent.

Chen Pinli's eyes were still closed.

He said lightly: "Zhao Dahai, this county magistrate was personally appointed by His Majesty, and he is the fiancΓ© of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, with a noble status, so let's put away your thoughts." ”

"So what do we do? Waiting for him to come to the door? Zhao Dahai said in a panic.

Chen Pinli smiled and said, "I know you're still doing that business, so stop it before the county order comes to your door." ”

"Stop? Impossible, how can I live with my Zhao family after I stop it? Zhao Dahai refused on the spot.

"That's up to you." Chen Pinli stood up, glanced at Zhao Dahai, and walked towards the restaurant.

Zhao Dahai picked up the wine glass and walked to the window where he could see the door of the Qian family.

After watching it silently for a long time, he drank the wine in one gulp.
