Chapter 322: Investigation on the Road to the West (Part II)
When Yang Xian heard this, his heart also sank secretly, but now, the only thing he could do was to deny it, so he said with a look of grievance: "My lord's words are too wronged to the lower officials, even if the lower officials have the courage to do such a thing, I hope that the adults will learn from it!" As he spoke, he fell on the ground with his head on the ground, and fell to his knees. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
Seeing him like this, Zhong Yu didn't laugh angrily: "Ha, it seems that you really regard this official as a stupid, do you think I can't find substantial evidence to prove that you are related to this assassination incident?" After a pause, he whispered, "You look up and talk back." β
"Yes......" Yang Xian raised his head in his heart, but he didn't dare to look at Zhong Yu, and at the same time wondered if he had revealed any flaws.
"This official asks you, since I set out from the capital all the way, there is no official who so politely insists on keeping many of us in his own jurisdiction, why is you the only one in Xin County to do this? And this kind of assassination happened at night when the official stayed in your Xin County, do you dare to say that it was just a coincidence? Staring at Yang Xian's eyes, Zhong Yusen asked.
"This ......" Yang Xian's heart tightened, this question was indeed something he had been worried about before, and he couldn't find a proper explanation for a while, so he had to say with a bitter face: "My lord, the lower official only invited the adult to live in this county out of respect for the adult and the imperial court, and it really has no intention of being unfavorable to the adult." As for the assassination this time, the lower official is indeed to blame, but if the adult insists on believing that it was designed by the lower official, the lower official will not dare to admit that he is dead! β
"Really?" Zhong Yu laughed: "If you don't know anything about this, why haven't you seen any people near this pavilion since yesterday?" Why did such a serious assassination happen in the middle of the night, and the fight was so fierce, but no one in the inn showed up? Could it be that they all slept to death, and could not even hear such a big movement? β
This series of questions made Yang Xian stunned. He didn't expect that there would be so many flaws in this matter, how could he justify himself and clear up his relationship with this matter?
Seeing that he had wavered, Zhong Yu took advantage of the victory to pursue him: "And the boots you wore on your feet, that were the ones you wore at the banquet last night, right?" There are also wine stains left on the banquet, I'm afraid you didn't change your clothes and rest after you got home last night, but sat at home waiting for news from the inn, and then hurried over, right? β
As soon as these words came out, Yang Xian's body suddenly shook, he looked down at his feet, and sure enough, he found that his boots were stained with a lot of wine. For a while, he had the feeling that everything about himself had been seen through by Lord Qincha in front of him, and he no longer had the courage to argue at that time, so he lowered his head dejectedly: "The lower official knows the crime, and the lower official does know about this matter...... But the lower officials were also forced to be helpless, so they would be used by those thieves. And they also said that this time they would not hurt Lord Qincha, and the lower officials would be willing...... I am willing to give in. I still beg the adults to spare their lives, ......" As he spoke, he kowtowed to Zhong Yu again and again, this time the power of his kowtow was used extremely much, and in just a moment, blood was already seen on his head.
Zhong Yu looked at his embarrassed and pitiful appearance coldly, but he didn't even frown, this time he was really angry, so naturally he would not feel pity for him. After a while, he said coldly: "As an official of the imperial court, you don't want to serve the country and the people, but you still join forces with thieves to assassinate your own official, are you really the court law and decree are all decorations?" What is the sin of assassinating the Chincha, I don't think I need to tell you, do you? β
Qin Cha is equivalent to being the spokesperson of the emperor. Assassinating Qincha is equivalent to assassinating the emperor himself, which is a big crime that can be compared to rebellion, and it will be punished by the Nine Clans! Hearing the faint murderous intent between Lord Zhong's words, Yang Xian's body trembled violently, and his voice trembled: "My lord...... The criminal officer is also out of helplessness. The criminal official and the family members of the county government and other subordinates were taken captive by those thieves, and they used this to coerce the criminal officer and others to cooperate with the adults to stay, and they said, they are ......" As he spoke, he peeked at Song Xueqiao on the side, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "They said that they are subordinates of Dongchang, and this will not hurt Lord Qincha, so the criminal officer was confused for a while, and agreed to them......" He said and kowtowed to Zhong Yu again.
"Huh?" When Zhong Yu heard that there was such a relationship, he was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Song Xueqiao on the side with suspicion.
Song Xueqiao's face also changed suddenly, and he immediately rushed to Yang Xian with an arrow step, raised his foot and kicked the other party's jaw, and shouted at the same time: "How dare you make up such a lie to frame me?" All of my men have been killed by the Assassins, will I commit such a suicide? β
Yang Xian, who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, couldn't dodge and didn't dare to dodge Song Xueqiao's flying kick, and was kicked in the chin at that time, and suddenly the whole person snorted miserably and turned into a rolling gourd, looking extremely embarrassed. This kick, Song Xueqiao kicked it with all his strength, this night he encountered a great blow and stimulation, and for some reason, he couldn't have a seizure, this time he finally found an opportunity, so he sprinkled his anger on poor Yang Xian. If it weren't for his martial arts being really low, I was afraid that this kick would be able to kick people to death on the spot.
But even so, Song Xueqiao still felt that he was not happy enough, and continued to curse in his mouth, and his body followed forward to reward the other party with a few more kicks. But as soon as he moved, his hand was already grabbed, and then Yang Zhen's voice sounded: "Song Qianhu, what are you doing?" If you beat him to death, there will be no proof of death! β
Song Xueqiao's body stiffened suddenly, even though he was angry in his heart, even though he hated Yang Zhen to the core, but when facing this person, he couldn't resist at this time, obviously after this accident, he was afraid of Yang Zhen, a guy who was much higher than himself in both martial arts and scheming, and it could even be said that he was afraid. So after Yang Zhen pulled, he stopped his movements, just stared at Yang Xian hatefully, panting heavily.
His anger, on the surface, is because of Yang Xian, but it is actually for himself. He regretted why his assassination plan had failed so much this time, not only did he fail to kill Yang Zhen, but he fought back and killed his own An Lang. In fact, if you really want to talk about it, the reason for this is only because of one point, this plan is not from the hands of Zhou Zhi, who has always been good at arranging all kinds of killing games, and although Song Xueqiao is also a shrewd person, he obviously lacks a lot of fire in this regard. And in this kind of life-and-death thing, just a thin line of difference will cause two diametrically opposite endings.
Zhong Yu also came back to his senses at this time, and he quickly came back to his senses in the shock of hearing that this matter had something to do with Dongchang at the beginning. I also feel that what Song Xueqiao said is good, but it is a fact that those people under him were killed, so it seems that this matter really has nothing to do with Dongchang. So he stepped forward and comforted: "Song Qianhu doesn't have to be anxious, the so-called clean person is self-purifying, and this official believes in your innocence." β
"Thank you, sir......" Song Xueqiao didn't know whether to cry or laugh at the moment. It was because his plan had failed that Zhong Yu believed that he had not done it, which was full of irony no matter how you look at it.
Yang Zhen also felt a little funny, so he killed all of Song Xueqiao's men, firstly, to take revenge, and secondly, to make him unavailable, so as to ensure his safety. But I didn't expect that in the end, it would become a good reason to exonerate him, which is really unexpected.
After comforting Song Xueqiao, Zhong Yu returned his attention to Yang Xian, who was struggling to get up from the ground and kneel down again, looking like he sincerely confessed his guilt.
"Now, Yang Xian, do you still want to bite indiscriminately in order to avoid responsibility? Why did you do such a thing? Zhong Yu said coldly. He has been a high-ranking official for a long time, and he has a kind of prestige in him, which makes people dare not resist him, and at this time he has completely exuded his official authority.
"What the criminal officer said just now is true, and please see it...... However, Dongchang's statement was only what the thieves themselves said, and the criminal officials could not confirm it, and they did not take out anything that could prove their identity, such as waist cards. After seeing Song Xueqiao's expression of wanting to eat people, Yang Xian hurriedly added the next few words.
But when he says this, it is easier for people to suspect that he is hiding something. Zhong Yu frowned, and wanted to ask again, but was interrupted by Yang Zhen with a low cough: "My lord, the lower official has a few words to say." β
"Yang Qianhu, please speak."
"I think Yang County's words are somewhat credible."
"How so?" Although Zhong Yu has a lot of trust and appreciation for Yang Zhen, it is a little difficult to accept his judgment.
"Xia Guan remembers that when they first came to Xin County yesterday, Yang County ordered them to ask us to stay here, but the adults didn't want to agree, they all had worries and fears on their faces. At that time, the lower officials were still a little strange, why they showed such undeserved expressions. Now after listening to his explanation, it makes sense. Because they are worried that they will not be able to keep us, and they will not be able to give those thieves a satisfactory explanation, they are worried. Yang Zhen gave his opinion.
Zhong Yu was also stunned after hearing this explanation, and then nodded: "If this is the case, there is some truth." But this is only Yang Qianhu's speculation after all--if it is not that the official believes Yang Qianhu, you are really a big matter, and you have to be cautious-if you want to confirm this, there must be further evidence. β
Yang Zhen thought for a while and said: "This is not too difficult to do, as long as you find the family of the official who was abducted in his mouth, you can prove that this is true." It just so happens that if we want to find those escaped assassins, we have to look for them in the county town, so why don't you try? β
"Well, it's okay, just do what Yang Qianhu wants." Being assassinated as a messenger, Zhong Yu naturally couldn't just forget it, and it was inevitable that Dasuo would search for the whereabouts of those assassins and wipe them out.
And after hearing that they had this plan, Song Xueqiao's heart sank, and he only hoped that those Pegasus Gang wastes could be clever and have already escaped from the county, otherwise even he would have to be taken in.
