Chapter 17: The Master's Move
"Now there is news from the prefect that Pudong Sheng's family abducted and sold underage girls to force them into prostitution, and the double crime should be punished with death. Master Qin, how is this good? The masked boy's tone was a little hurried, and his expression was slightly flustered, as if he was at a loss for what to do with the sentence that was his own father.
"How is this possible?" Qin Xiong still doesn't want to believe this fact.
On that day, he clearly saw that the verdict was the one that dropped the bag, which was written by him, and there was no mention of the words abduction and trafficking of underage girls to force them into prostitution, so where did the people on the government see it?
"Isn't Master Wang looking away?" The masked little man cautiously probed.
"No way! I read it very carefully, and I wrote the verdict myself. Qin Xiong's tone was very resolute, and there was no room for the slightest question.
"Could it be that Master Wang found out about the cat and sent someone to send another one?" The masked guy pondered for a long time, and finally threw out such a sentence.
"It's been sent out, how did you find out? Besides, the one they prepared had already been burned to ashes by the fire a few days ago, so what to give? ”
The more Qin Xiong spoke, the more he felt that this matter was quite strange, it was said that this matter was done seamlessly, he had noticed all the details that he should have paid attention to, and he had also been careful about the changes that he should be wary of.
But why did this turn out in the end?
He couldn't figure it out.
However, the news from the government is not groundless. It is said that the housekeeper of the prefect's house sent a message to the masked servant, and the big housekeeper is his distant cousin, who comes and goes very closely on weekdays, so there should be no mistake in the news he sent.
Although he Qin Xiong is greedy for money, he has always abided by the principle of taking people's money to eliminate disasters for others, if he can't do this, he will definitely declare that he will sweep the floor, how will he mix in this circle in the future?
Taking 10,000 steps back, even if he doesn't plan to mix in this circle, if Pudong Sheng is really sentenced to death, he will have nothing to fear about dying.
If you splash him with a basin of dirty water before he dies and say that he is the mastermind behind the scenes, it is estimated that he will not be able to turn over in this life.
After all, he took so much silver from Pudong Sheng, if he couldn't even save his life in the end, I am afraid that this large amount of name would really become life money, buy his Qin Xiong's life.
With his incorruptible tongue and superior strategy, he will at most exonerate himself as an accomplice.
The accomplice is to be assigned to the frontier, and with his weak body, I am afraid that he may not even be able to go halfway.
Not to mention leaving, just thinking about it was enough to make him shudder.
"If none of that is true, then there is only one possibility." The masked guy suddenly thought of someone.
"Speak quickly!" As the top master in the county government, it was the first time that he was so eager to get the answer from others. In fact, he already had a conjecture in his heart, but the person he suspected seemed to be natural and harmless, and there was no city, how could he create such a big thing that was hidden from the sky and the sea?
He didn't believe it.
Or rather, he didn't want to believe it.
After all, it was especially humiliating for him to lose at the hands of such a nobody.
Of course, this is all his psychological drama, although his heart is turbulent, but the surface is still light and light, so others don't know.
"It must be Xiao Zhuozi, who is in charge of delivering the verdict, who made a move on the way!" The masked boy's tone was as affirmative, as if he had seen the whole process, and there was no doubt about it.
"Is it really him?"
The masked boy's thoughts coincided with his conjectures.
Qin Xiong narrowed his upper and lower eyelids slightly, although he was reluctant, he had to accept this opponent who caught him off guard.
"Master, haven't you verified it with your own eyes? The verdict was fine when it was in the hands of the prefectural magistrate, but why did it suddenly change in the hands of the prefect? The whole incident only passed through his hands except for the county master, who else could there be besides him? ”
The masked little man's methodical analysis made Qin Xiong realize how terrible Wang Huizu was.
Xiao Zhuozi's little bit of Taoism is very clear to him Qin Xiong, but in fact, he is a scheming little minion, which is not worth mentioning at all.
Before that, he didn't deserve to run errands.
He thought about it for a long time before he chose this masked little guy to work for him. Xiao Zhuozi didn't even have a spare tire at that time. It can be seen how confused and simple he is.
However, it is such a simple and confused person, but he can make such a fatal move in just a few days, which shows how high Wang Huizu's means are.
In other words, Wang Huizu was able to let a simple and confused little Zhuozi who had never known his life serve him wholeheartedly in just a few days, which was terrifying when he thought about it.
"If we can't save Pudong Sheng, we will have to go to jail if we don't make trouble! This matter is all because of Xiao Zhuozi, how does the master plan to deal with this bad thing? ”
Seeing that Qin Xiong didn't say anything for a long time, the masked little guy was a little anxious. He didn't think he had made a mistake in his plan, but put all the blame on Xiao Zhuozi.
"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth! At this point, fear is useless. Qin Xiong sighed lightly.
"What about little Zhuozi?" The masked guy kept staring at Xiao Zhuozi. After all, he is the one who is in the same rank as himself.
People can't always tolerate opponents who are in line with their rank.
If the rank is too high, they can't reach it, and if the rank is too low, they don't bother to compete with it.
Obviously, Qin Xiong was not on the same level as him, and he didn't take Xiao Zhuozi in his eyes at all.
Regarding Xiao Zhuozi, a bad thing, he only said lightly: "Pursuing Xiao Zhuozi is a later story, for the sake of today's plan, we have to quickly find a way to rescue Pudong Sheng!" ”
But how can it be saved?
This time, he decided to do both.
Fortunately, the prefect happened to be absent from the government on the day Xiao Zhuozi sent the verdict, so it was rightfully passed through the hands of the big housekeeper. The prefect has yet to see the verdict.
Therefore, now someone is quietly sending another verdict over, and no one is aware of it.
What I'm afraid of is that Wei Tingkui is now angry with Wang Huizu in the same nostril, if he comes out to testify at that time, I'm afraid there will be trouble.
As soon as he thought of Wang Huizu, he had a splitting headache.
Since that night, the surnamed Wang rushed into the fire before him to save the county commander and his wife, his image has become more and more tall in Wei Tingkui's heart. He is obedient to his words, and treats him carefully as an ancestor.
I guess what I said doesn't have much weight at this point.
But even so, he decided to give it a try.
Even if you can't let him listen to him, it's good to turn a blind eye and not seriously investigate it when the time comes.
The weather in October, like the face of the county magistrate, changes when it is said. The wind was still sunny just now, but the snow was already drifting.
Qin Xiong wrapped up the reddish-brown shirt on his body, which was very eye-catching, and walked all the way to the council hall in small square steps in response to the wind and snow.
As he swept into the house with a cloud of cold wind, a warm current hit his face.
The charcoal fire in the house was blazing like the fire of the previous day. He took off the reddish-brown coat on his body, patted the snow on his body, and greeted Wei Tingkui with a smile: "My lord, are you feeling better?" Qin was not at ease, so he came over to take a look. ”
"It's already so good, what's the matter with Master Qin? Come and sit down! Wei Tingkui sat by the fire, looking refreshed, and the fright of that day had long been forgotten.
Sure enough, the noble man forgot a lot, and after only a few days, he dared to approach the fire that almost killed him.
Qin Xiong walked straight over and sat beside the fire, stretched out his hand to bake, and said after a while: "Qin heard that there are people in the Pudong Ascension Imperial Court, if this is the case, do you think you should spare his life?" ”
"Oh?" At this moment, the name that Wei Tingkui was afraid to hear was Pudong Sheng.
Although the fire can burn people, it is just a simple thing, and it will not play tricks and tricks.
Pudong Shengke is different, as Master Wang just said, his crime is unforgivable, and it is already a sure thing to sentence him to death, just wait for the first sentence, this dangerous person who will bite people anytime and anywhere will completely disappear from this world forever and ever.
At this juncture, he didn't want to make a little difference.
Thinking of this, he politely raised the corners of his lips, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "As the county commander of this county, how can this official bend the law for personal gain?" Even if there are people in his court, he should still be sentenced! ”
Qin Xiong saw that it was not possible to negotiate, so he simply threatened: "Aren't adults afraid of destroying their future?" ”
Wei Tingkui replied categorically: "Then let him let the horse come!" ”
Wei Tingkui, who lived for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, became soft and hard, so that Qin Xiong had no choice but to return in a huff. Before leaving, Wei Tingkui looked up at the flying snow and said, "This snow is so beautiful!" ”
Qin Xiong had something to say: "It's really enjoyable for onlookers to watch, but I'm afraid that the experiencers don't have a taste in their hearts!" ”
Wei Tingkui didn't hear his voice, and was still obsessed with the first snow since the beginning of winter.
Due to the disadvantage of being a teacher, Qin Xiong was very unhappy in his heart. On the way back, a vicious plan grows in his heart.
When he walked to the door, the masked little man greeted him with a spring breeze on his face: "Master Qin, how are things going?" ”
"It went well."
Qin Xiong pushed the door into the house as if he had never touched the wall, walked directly to the table and sat down, quietly rewrote a verdict, and handed it to the masked servant: "Send this verdict to the government before dark, and exchange the thing that shouldn't be there!" Remember, this is a matter of no peace. ”
"Yes!" The masked boy took it with both hands, turned his head and left.
In this contest, Qin Xiong won unusually beautifully.
Wang Huizu never thought that his plan would go wrong at this juncture. Just as he was waiting to punish Pudong Sheng, Xiao Zhuozi stumbled and ran to tell him: "Master Wang, your verdict has passed!" ”
Wang Huizu scolded him with a smile: "You should be happy if you pass!" Why do you look like that? ”
Xiao Zhuozi began to stammer as soon as he was in a hurry: "Wang, Wang, Master Wang, this is not right!" ”
Wang Huizu held back a smile and quipped, "Are you a dog?" ”
Because Xiao Zhuozi had something in his heart, he didn't hear Wang Huizu's voice, so he shook his head stupidly: "I belong to a pig." ”
Wang Huizu stared at him straight for a long time, and finally laughed dumbly: "No wonder the reaction is so slow." By the way, what did you just say was wrong? ”
