Chapter Ninety-Three: Captured, and the Evidence Conclusive

"Boom!" As soon as the conversation between the two ended, Lord Xu was about to leave, when he heard a roar outside, like thunder on the ground, which shook the dust on the beams of the house and fell down.

Lin Zhengnan was so frightened that he almost fell, and couldn't help cursing: "This god is really insane, what kind of thunder is it on a sunny day?" ”

Lin Zhengnan just almost fell, but Lord Xu really fell—or collapsed, his eyes were scattered, and he said in despair: "This is not a dry day thunder, this is explosives, someone is attacking Lin Jiabao, it must be the Guards." ”

"What?"

At this time, the butler ran in and said incoherently: "Master, it's not good, there are a lot of people outside, and they rushed to the castle without saying a word, and after being obstructed by us, they buried the package in the corner...... After a thunderclap, the whole wall collapsed, and now they had rushed here. Our men could not stop them at all, and with just one impact, the defense line of three hundred men was broken through. ”

"It's over, it's all over." Lin Zhengnan also softened, he really didn't expect the other party to play cards according to common sense, but he came directly to his side, and now that the castle has been breached, there is nowhere to escape.

"No, if we are caught like this, we will really die." Lin Zhengnan softened, but Lord Xu came back to his senses, and hurriedly stood up and said: "Hurry up and think about it, where are the transaction records and everything, hurry up and destroy them, I am an official after all, and I should be able to block you for a while here." ”

As soon as Lord Xu said this, Lin Zhengnan's eyes also recovered: "Yes, as long as the account book is destroyed, there is no evidence, I don't believe that they dare to really arrest us, and not only will I be fine at that time, but they will also bear a felony of trespassing on a private house, and they will die." ”

"You'd better hurry up."

"Oh, I'll go." Lin Zhengnan stood up and ran out, but as soon as he ran out of the door, he was kicked back.

"How could you be so fast?" Looking at the people who rushed in, Lin Zhengnan shouted in despair, but no one paid attention to him.

Lord Xu's mood had completely settled down at this time, and when he saw this, he asked, "Who are you?" Do you know that you are trespassing on a private house? Trespassing is a crime of disturbance. I see that your movements are the same, and your steps are uniform, you should also be in the army, right? As a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, he knew that trespassing on a private house was a serious crime, but he still knew the law and violated the law, and the crime was added to the first degree. If you can withdraw now, I promise not to pursue the matter, if not, you will not be able to eat and walk around. ”

None of the soldiers who rushed in ...... paid attention to him, but just grabbed Lin Zhengnan and tied him up, and then aimed his weapon at Lord Xu.

Lord Xu was taken aback, and hurriedly threatened: "You ...... What do you want to do? Killing an official of the court is a capital crime, do you want to rebel? ”

"Xu Guozhang, Lord Xu, right? I didn't expect to meet you here. This interview is slippery enough, coercion and temptation, this set is skilled enough. A flirtatious voice sounded: "I just don't know who you usually use these tricks on?" ”

It was Zhu Yuming who spoke, I saw him dressed as a scholar, holding a folding fan in his hand, shaking it coquettishly, and laughing: "We broke into Lin Jiabao, naturally we have a reason, Lin Zhengnan colluded with bandits and robbed passers-by, the crime is extremely heinous, the evidence is conclusive, shouldn't such a scum be arrested?" ”

was pressed against the tip of the knife, Xu Guozhang didn't dare to make the slightest move, for fear of accidentally being cut through his neck: "If there is evidence, it should also be handed over to our government, when will it be your army's turn to take charge?" And you were passing by Zhenyang County, why didn't you say hello in advance? You're a taboo. ”

"Nonsense, if we were going to say hello in advance, would there still be bandits robbing us?" Zhu Yuming rolled his eyes and said, "It's you, why are you here?" Could it be that among the people who colluded with the bandits, there were still you? ”

"Hey, little brother, you can eat randomly, you can't talk nonsense, you have to prove what you say."

"Evidence? We found the correspondence between Lin Zhengnan and the bandit leader in the bandits' den, is this considered evidence? Liu Yi walked in with a dossier, and the moment he saw the dossier, Lin Zhengnan, who had always been dishonest, seemed to be drained of all his strength, completely softened, and only despair remained in his eyes.

Ignoring the desperate Lin Zhengnan, Liu Yi stared at Xu Guozhang and said coldly: "As for the transaction records between your Zhenyang County Government and Lin Zhengnan, it is also clearly written, is it not evidence?" I didn't know if I didn't see it, I was shocked when I saw it, I just looked at it casually twice, and found that there were more than ten transactions with you involved, and there were so many that I didn't see, if it added up, it should be enough for you to die ten times.

I really didn't expect that just a small county town could be so dark that officials and businessmen collude, officials and bandits collude, and people and bandits collude...... Tut-tut, the relationship here is really complicated enough, if it can be made into a big drama, it will be absolutely exciting. ”

Xu Guozhang stared at Liu Yi deadly: "Who are you?" In what capacity did they participate in this event? Could it be the Green Cavalry? ”

Liu Yi waved his hand again and again: "No, no, no, I have nothing to do with the Green Cavalry, my name is Liu Yi, just a little scholar, of course, I do have a second identity, that is, the new county magistrate of Zhenyang County." ”

Xu Guozhang's pupils suddenly shrank: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"It's literal." Liu Yi said with a smile: "Your old county commander has been in office for ten years because he is too incompetent, and he has not done a single practical thing for the people, but whenever he encounters a little thing, his first reaction is to ask the state government for help." If you ask for help, ask for help, you can be regarded as having fulfilled your duty, but you didn't give any of the aid you asked for, and you were all greedy for ink by your county government and Zhenyang family...... What is the use of saying that you want an official like you? It's better to live without you.

Therefore, after the study of His Royal Highness the Governor of Yuezhou and the Assassin of Yuezhou, His Royal Highness the King of Yuezhou, it was decided to remove you from the position of Zhenyang County Commander and escort you to Yuezhou for interrogation. As for the position of the Zhenyang County Order, it is by this son, oh no, it should be the temporary agent of the official - that is to say, from now on, the position of the Zhenyang County Commander is mine, and you are now just a criminal, a criminal official in the fish and meat township, and your only fate is to be beheaded and abandoned after being ruined. ”

Xu Guozhang shouted loudly: "No, I don't accept it, His Royal Highness the King of Yue is just the assassin of Yuezhou, what qualifications does he have to appoint and dismiss subordinate officials?" ”

"Don't struggle, His Royal Highness King Yue has the position of Lingnan's pacification envoy, and you are qualified to control all the affairs of Lingnan during the war, you don't know it. Now that Lin Yi is attacking Lingnan to fight Huan, His Royal Highness King Yue has taken over Lingnan boxing, what is the appointment and dismissal of a seven-rank official? If it weren't for His Majesty's benevolence, it would be light to kill you directly (Li Shimin stipulated that if you kill a death row prisoner, you have to report to the emperor three times). Hold it down, don't let him die, this is the first gift I brought to the people of Zhenyang. ”

"No, you can't do this, I am the Zhenyang County Commander appointed and dismissed by the emperor, you can't arrest me......" Xu Guozhang struggled to be dragged farther and farther away, and his voice gradually became inaudible.
