Chapter 8: Two Birds with One Stone

A team of people and horses entered the city in a mighty way, Gao Yuan appeared in the team silently, Xiao Yao still had a harmless smile on his face, and walked in front with his head held high on horseback, Xiao Moke and Li An, two officials with status, followed him.

Xiao Wuhua was still looking at Xiao Yao, but her eyes were full of questions and admiration: when the gunshots rang out and Lin Taishou fell to the ground, she and Xiao Moke understood, they had already seen the power of the musket, and it turned out that it was all planned by this smiling young man! The young man in front of him is thoughtful and decisive, and if he looks closely, he is quite handsome!

Thinking of this, Xiao Wuhua couldn't help but blush and lowered his head, but quietly raised his head again, looking at Xiao Yao, who was still smiling evilly, and the more he looked at it, the more fascinated he became.

Everyone returned to the yamen, and after Li An put the prisoner in the prison and ordered people to guard them strictly, he hurriedly found Xiao Yao, and Xiao Moke discussed together.

Because Xiao Moke's official position here is the largest, Li An suggested: "Lord Xiao, Lin Taishou has been punished by heaven, and now the dragons of Xunyang County have no leader, and your Excellency is Bashan Taishou, a high-ranking official of the imperial court, I hope to sit here first, and wait for three days to behead the water thief, and then make plans!" ”

"Hehe, I think it's better to ask the initiator of this matter first, if you don't know some inside stories, we are still in the dark, do you really believe that Lin Taishou is punished by God?" Xiao Moke looked at Xiao Yao meaningfully.

Xiao Yao saw that everyone was looking at him, he touched his face embarrassedly, and pretended to be shy: "Why are you looking at me like this?" I'm pretty handsome though! ”

Everyone vomited, they had never seen such a brazen person!

Li An, who reacted, asked in surprise: "Could it be that Lin Taishou is Brother Shiro... Impossible, I was standing next to you at the time, and I didn't see you move? ”

Although Li An was also very puzzled about the cause of Lin Taishou's death, and did not believe that it was a curse, he did fall to the ground and died suddenly in full view of everyone.

"Brother Li, don't talk nonsense about undocumented and unsubstantiated things, murdering the court official is a capital crime, familiar with it, I will sue you for slander!" Xiao Yao blinked innocently and looked at Li An, leaving everyone speechless again.

Xiao Wuhua saw that Xiao Yao was still pretending, and she couldn't look at it, so she said angrily: "Hmph, you must have arranged for Gao Yuan to do it!" Don't think I don't know, I've seen you kill those water thieves! That 。。。。。。 yours ”

Before Xiao Wuhua finished speaking, Xiao Yao immediately interrupted her, changed the topic and said, "Lin Taishou is dead, don't talk about him when you die." Brother Li is also a high-ranking official in Xunyang County, you are most familiar with the situation here, I believe that the people recognize you, or you will manage it on your behalf, when the time comes, the imperial court will send someone down to investigate, and Lord Xiao can also help you prove it! ”

Xiao Yao was not ashamed at all, and directly decided that Li An temporarily took the post of Taishou, everyone felt that it was reasonable and had no objections, only Xiao Shilian felt a little dissatisfied: Xiao Yao is the most statusless and the youngest here, how can he make the decision!

Xiao Moke nodded, and also agreed with Xiao Yao's plan: "Well, this treatment is indeed more appropriate, so what should I do next?" Won't you just wait three days to kill those water thieves? I guess it's not going to be that simple, right? ”

"Of course it won't be that simple, you know, the Julong Gang also has a Bajiang Dragon, and Lin Taishou is dead, his father-in-law will stab Lord Shi will not react? It can be said that when you asked for the public beheading of the captured water thieves, you were tantamount to starting a war with the Dragon Gathering Gang and the Thorn Shi Taishou! Now that Taishou is dead, there is no turning back! Xiao Yao hid words in his words.

"Shiro, do you mean that the Barona Dragon and Lord Thorn Shi will come?" Li An suddenly had a shock, what he was most afraid of was this, as soon as these two people came to Xunyang County, then things would be complicated.

"That's for sure, the Dragons Gang watched their brother beheaded? Will Lord Thorn believe that his son-in-law is really damned? Xiao Yao asked rhetorically.

Li An and Xiao Moke were silent, it is true that there are too many involved, they just wanted to kill a hundred and execute this group of water thieves to avenge the dead, and they never thought that there would be such consequences!

"Well, it's also an opportunity, a chance to settle this matter once and for all!" Xiao Yao saw that they were all sad and decided not to go around in circles anymore.

"Can you really solve these things once and for all? So how? Li An was really excited.

"It's very simple, you can't kill them all!" Xiao Yao's words were amazing!

"It's so audacious, you want to murder the imperial court again?" Xiao Wuhua scolded, and she didn't know why she always wanted to go against Xiao Yao.

"What murder again! Wuhua, don't complain about good people, I'm a good law-abiding citizen! Xiao Yao smiled cheaply at Xiao Wuhua, deliberately making her angry.

Turning his head to Xiao Moke and Li An, he said: "If the prisoner is beheaded after three days, the people of the Julong Gang will definitely come to rob the law field, Xunyang County is full of water thieves, and Lord Assassin Shi happened to meet a water thief, and then was killed by a water thief, it's not impossible, right?" Then we will wipe out the Julong Gang, and from then on, won't Poyang Lake be clean and peaceful? ”

"This, although this is a method, it is difficult to achieve, not to mention that they have collusion in private, and the Julong Gang is full of people, all of them are highly skilled, our manpower can't fight at all, and Lord Assassin Shi may not have arrived in three days!" Li An thought about it, but still felt that this method was impossible to achieve.

"Then let Lord Thorn Shi come, you go and raid Lin Taishou's house right now, and then put his wife, Thorn Shi's daughter back to complain to her father, I believe Lord Thorn Shi will definitely come!" As for the Dragons, I have my own way of dealing with them! Xiao Yao said confidently.

After hearing this, Li An's eyes immediately brightened, and he laughed and said: "Yes, yes, Lin Taishou is corrupt and perverts the law, colludes with water thieves, and should raid his house and check the stolen money!" And Lord Thorn will definitely come to stand up for her daughter! After speaking, he immediately went out to pick up the manpower and rushed to Lin Taishou's house.

"What a plan to kill two birds with one stone! Xiao Shilang, your poisonous trick is really powerful! It's just that Jiangzhou Assassin Shi is an official of the imperial court, and you calculate him like this, you must know that murdering the imperial court official is a capital crime! Xiao Shilian said in a non-yin and non-yang manner.

"Brother Xiao has an opinion on this? Do you want to go to the court and accuse me of murdering an official of the court? Now it's all Brother Li doing things, I haven't done anything, and I'm doing the right thing for heaven! Xiao Yao retorted.

"I just think that things should be done in accordance with the law, above board, even if they are corrupt and pervert the law, they must be investigated and dealt with according to the law, there should be no such conspiracy and trickery, it is just some despicable deeds that can't be put on the table!" Xiao Shilian said with a sense of justice.

Seeing that the scene was a bit gunpowdery, Xiao Moke came out to play a round and asked Xiao Yao: "Shiro just said that there is a way to deal with the Julong Gang, I don't know what the way is?" ”

"Oh, I didn't expect it, just now I was quick to talk, and I said it smoothly." Xiao Yao smiled embarrassedly.
