Chapter 335: The Inquisitor
If you are looking for a scapegoat, you must find someone who has enough weight and is related to the incident, and of course it is not okay to go to the street and catch someone casually.
The county magistrate of Pingshan County is the most suitable scapegoat, the official is big enough, and Li Tong died in his mansion, no matter what, he can't escape the involvement. Even if he didn't do it, and found the real murderer in the future, the general altar would not blame himself as an envoy because of a small county order.
If the county magistrate of Pingshan County was caught by himself when he escaped last night, then the county magistrate would not be able to hide from the crime of escaping after the murder.
"It's a pity that this old guy didn't run away." The deputy envoy sneered in his heart, but he was not worried, the time limit for the county order to solve the case was coming soon, and he would be speechless if he was arrested and beaten again.
However, what the deputy envoy never expected was that at noon, an official of the county government hurriedly came to the camp of the Divine Sect Army to report the news: the murderer of General Li Tong has been caught!
The deputy envoy was surprised and delighted when he heard the news, and was surprised that the murderer was caught by the old immortal county official, and he was happy that if he really caught the real murderer, he would save a lot of trouble, and the credit for catching the real murderer was naturally his own, if he could dig out the main messenger behind it, then the Heavenly Master and the elders of the main altar would definitely be impressed by themselves, and they would soon understand that being the envoy themselves was a hundred times stronger than Li Tong's fool.
Without hesitation, the deputy instructor who fantasized about being promoted and raising his salary couldn't wait to rush to the county seat of Linshan County with a hundred guards.
It's not that he doesn't want to bring more soldiers, firstly, the county seat of Linshan County is very small, and it is impossible to allow large armies to enter and exit, and secondly, he has never suspected that the county magistrate of Pingshan County will lie to him.
Traveling all the way, the deputy envoy came to the county government of Pingshan County with more than 100 personal soldiers, and at a glance he saw the county commander standing straight at the door of the county office, and it seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing that the deputy envoy was approaching, he turned over and jumped off the horse, and the county commander bowed with a smile and said, "The envoy is not harmed." ”
The deputy envoy glanced at the old county order, and didn't seem to want to say anything more to him, and said coldly: "Where is the murderer?" ”
The county magistrate didn't mind, nodded and made way to say, "The envoy is please." ”
The deputy sect envoy frowned, didn't bother to say anything, and waved his hand and led his own soldiers to the county office.
The county government of Pingshan County is a little old, but the courtyard in front of the public hall is large enough, and the deputy priest is not too crowded after leading the soldiers in.
When the deputy envoy came to the public court, he saw that all the officials of the county government were standing in the public court, standing in two rows, all holding the killing rod in their hands, but there was no trace of the murderer and the prisoner.
"What about the prisoners? Hurry up and bring it out! The deputy priest's face was not good.
The county commander smiled and said, "Don't worry, wait for the official to interrogate according to the procedure." ”
Without waiting for the deputy priest to react, the county magistrate stroked his official robe, and under the angry gaze of the deputy priest, he paced up to the presiding seat of the public hall and sat down.
"Boom!" The county magistrate sat upright, grabbed the shocking wood on the desk and slapped it hard, and the voice was extremely loud.
"Those who are guilty of sinning in the hall can see why the official doesn't kneel!" The county magistrate suddenly scolded.
The deputy envoy and the personal soldiers beside him looked left and right, but they saw any prisoners anywhere.
The deputy envoy was surprised to find that the county commander was just staring straight at him, and said coldly: "What kind of trick are you playing with this old guy, do you think the envoy has time to joke with you?" ”
"Boom!" There was another crisp sound, and the old county order actually said coldly: "Bold cult fanatic!" When death is imminent, you dare to speak freely! ”
The deputy sect envoy was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect the second county commander to dare to say such a thing, and said coldly: "Do you know what you're talking about? Do you think your life is too long? ”
The county magistrate was not afraid at all, and asked, "Do you know what you are talking about?" This official is the imperial court's personal order to know the county, you are a cult traitor who dares to speak out here, your immortal sect has no king's law, and you have done a lot of evil in this county, and today this official will bring to justice those Li people who have suffered unjustly! ”
"Huh... Ha ha!! The deputy sect envoy laughed angrily, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, and looked at the county order with a hideous face: "It seems that you are not only crazy, but also daydreaming, and you want to bring me to justice?" Why are you? As he spoke, the deputy envoy pointed to the frightened officials around him, and sneered: "Just these rotten fish and rotten shrimp? ”
The county commander's face was grim, and he condensed: "Just rely on those thousands of unjust souls who were mutilated by your Immortal Sect!" Just rely on my great glory and glorious national prestige! ”
The deputy sect envoy took a deep breath and said, "It seems that you are really tired of being alive, so in the name of the Heavenly Master, let you, a filthy cultist, suffer the punishment he deserves." ”
After saying that, the deputy sectarian envoy behind him understood, and strode towards the county order with a cruel smile, and the officials on the side were already too frightened to move.
The county magistrate did not show any fear, sat upright in the public hall, and looked at the deputy envoy coldly.
For those strong soldiers of the Divine Cult Army, killing the county order is no different from pinching an ant to death, and a filthy cultist like him, let alone a county order, even if it is the assassin of Qianzhou, he should be punished by the Immortal God.
However, the Immortal God may have been napping at this time, and he was not available to bless his loyal disciples.
The pro-soldiers had just taken two steps up the stairs, and suddenly, several nooses swished down above their heads, pinning them around the necks of each pro-soldier, and then slammed upward, and several pro-soldiers suddenly rose into the air and were hoisted into the air.
The faces of the pro-soldiers who were hanging in the air were red, and they wanted to shout, but they only made desperate "gurgling" sounds in their throats, and their legs kept trampling in the air, trying to find a point of focus.
And at the top of the rope, on top of the thick beam, there were several men in black squatting at some point.
"Brush, brush!" This sudden change stunned everyone, and then all the Divine Cult troops immediately drew their weapons and shouted angrily to put people down.
And at this moment, the gate outside the county office was slammed shut, and countless black-clothed people appeared on the surrounding walls. The dozens of officials who were originally standing in the public hall also quickly retreated, leaving only the deputy envoy of the Immortal Sect and his hundred and ten personal soldiers, as well as the county magistrate of Pingshan County, who was still sitting firmly in the public court.
Even if the deputy sect envoy was stupid, he knew that he had been ambushed, but this person still seemed to have some combat experience, raised his hand and pulled out the saber on his waist violently, and snorted coldly at the soldiers of the Divine Cult beside him: "Array!" ”
