Still in the original living room, Zhang Zhijie warmly received Wang Yingqin, who came to visit. After serving tea, after a few polite words, Wang Yingqin went straight to the point and smiled: "I heard that this morning, the Jinyi guard made a sensation in the whole city, which is extremely rare!" ”

Zhang Zhijie sighed in a deep voice: "Lord Wang also knows that two days ago, Jinyiwei was attacked outside the city, and twenty Jinyiwei were killed, and Jinyiwei was very sad!" Fortunately, the bandits who attacked and killed Jinyiwei were finally arrested, and after some interrogation, they confessed to the mastermind behind the scenes, so there is Jinyiwei's action today! “

"Although it caused panic, fortunately, the mastermind behind the scenes was successfully caught, which can be regarded as an explanation to the dead brothers!"

Wang Yingqin was silent for a moment, and then he muttered: "Jinyiwei was killed in an attack, which is indeed a sigh. However, these bandits are stubborn, and what they explain is not true! ”

"This official also heard what happened, the person arrested by Lord Qincha is named Xia Xuan, he is a scholar, and he is known as a virtuous person in Jiangnan Shilin, he will not have anything to do with these gangsters."

"I have also heard about the case, it is the clues provided by Xia Xuan to Lord Qincha, so that the adults can catch these bandits so quickly, how can Xia Xuan be the one who is the mastermind?"

"If it was really Xia Xuan's mastermind, then he should have helped those bandits escape, how could he take the initiative to help Jinyiwei catch these gangsters? It doesn't make sense! ”

"Lord Qincha, since it is the clues provided by Xia Xuan, and these bandits who were caught by Jinyiwei, these bandits will definitely hold a grudge, so they deliberately framed Xia Xuan, this may be the truth of the matter!"

Zhang Zhijie smiled when he heard this: "What Lord Wang said, this governor didn't think that there is indeed a possibility that Xia Xuan was framed. ”

"But Bendu also has a doubt in his heart, as Lord Wang said, since Xia Xuan has nothing to do with the gangsters in the rivers and lakes, why do these gangsters insist on Xia Xuan's name, and even Xia Xuan in Quanzhou said it! This has to make Ben Governor suspicious! ”

"The Governor has always had a purpose, that is, he will never wronged a good man, nor will he let a bad man go! In any case, Xia Xuan is indeed suspicious, so this governor will arrest him and examine him clearly, this is not inappropriate, right? ”

Strictly speaking, there is really nothing inappropriate, which means that Zhang Zhijie is unwilling to let Xia Xuan out at all. Wang Yingqin was not very surprised by this, and it was normal that this thing would not work.

Zhang Zhijie wants to organize a fleet to go to sea, and what is the Xia family in Quanzhou doing, how can Wang Yingqin, who is the governor of a province, not know? There must be a contest of interests in this, and it's not just an attack and murder outside the city!

The attack and murder outside the city was just a part of the contest between the two sides, and now that Zhang Zhijie had said so, he had obviously made up his mind that he would not let Xia Xuan go easily.

Wang Yingqin could only make his last effort, and said with a smile: "What Lord Qincha said also makes sense. However, Lord Qincha, this Xia Xuan is just a weak scholar, and he grew up in a honey jar, and his body is weak, so he is afraid that he will not be able to bear the punishment. ”

"The Xia family has a reputation in Jiangnan, if Xia Xuan is innocent, if something happens, the court is also very passive."

Zhang Zhijie laughed when he heard this: "Lord Wang is too worried, everyone knows that Bendu is in charge of Jinyiwei, and they must think that Bendu is a ruthless person, but in fact, it is all a misunderstanding." Lord Wang, just put your heart in your stomach! ”

"This governor guarantees that Xia Xuan will definitely be fine, at most he will suffer a little hardship! This is not a bad thing, young people can only grow up if they suffer a little! ”

Hearing Zhang Zhijie's promise so happily, Wang Yingqin was a little unsure, and he didn't know what kind of hardship Zhang Zhijie had suffered.

But the matter has come to this point, Wang Yingqin can't say anything anymore, no matter whether Zhang Zhijie is sincere or false, agreeing so happily is already regarded as giving him face as a third-grade governor, if he blindly asks again, it will be a little self-deprecating.

Wang Yingqin said with a smile: "With Lord Qincha's words, then the lower officials will be relieved, and they can also have an explanation with the Xia family!" The Xia family has a lot of prestige in Jiangnan, and there are a lot of old things in the officialdom, so it's really not good for the lower officials not to trouble Lord Qincha, otherwise, the lower officials will have to die of a headache! ”

In the end, Wang Yingqin was still reminding Zhang Zhijie that the Xia family is really not simple, it is deeply rooted in Jiangnan and has a wide range of relationships.

Zhang Zhijie nodded with a smile and said, "Don't worry, Lord Wang, this governor knows it in his heart!" ”

After sending Wang Yingqin away, Zhang Zhijie came to the prison again, Xia Xuan has been looking at the door of the torture room since Zhang Zhijie left, although the severe pain from his body made him unbearable, but he still looked at the door of the torture room.

He deeply hoped that Wang Yingqin would appear at the door of the torture chamber and take him away from this cruel torture chamber! Even if he was just hit with a fire shovel, he was already scared to pee! He didn't want to stay here any longer.

But to Xia Xuan's disappointment, there was indeed someone at the door of the torture room, but there was only Zhang Zhijie, and there was no figure of Wang Yingqin. He looked forward to Wang Yingqin's arrival, but Wang Yingqin did not come!

Xia Xuan's heart sank into the abyss all of a sudden, and as Zhang Zhijie said, Zhang Zhijie didn't sell Wang Yingqin's face at all. Wang Yingqin failed to fish himself out of Zhang Zhijie's hands.

Seeing Xia Xuan's face that was about to die, Zhang Zhijie smiled and said, "Didn't this governor say that you should not have hope?" Why don't you listen to good people? It's not easy for the cabinet scholars to come, so you still have to stay here! ”

Xia Xuan really wanted to vomit Zhang Zhijie's blood when he heard it, are you a good person? If you are a good person, then there will be no bad people in the world!

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "Now that Wang Futai has left, we should continue!" Except for Wang Futai, no one can disturb Bentu! ”

Xia Xuan listened to the last glimmer of hope and asked in a deep voice, "Lord Qincha, how about we talk about a deal?" ”

Zhang Zhijie said with interest: "Oh? You're going to negotiate a deal with Ben Governor again, and I don't know what deal you're going to negotiate with Ben Governor this time? Is it that you have to confess? What do you want to change? This Governor can be considered! ”

Confession can't be explained, but Xia Xuan thought of another way, as the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, Xia Xuan said in a deep voice: "Lord Qincha, 100,000 taels of silver, I will give 100,000 taels of silver to adults, how about your lordship let me go?" ”
