Chapter 156: Ascension

After sending the mission away, Ouyang Jing could finally breathe a sigh of relief, but when he turned his head and saw Su Yunran, his breath was lifted again.

Ouyang Jing's gaze unconsciously became dark, the killer disappeared without a trace, but Su Yunran was unharmed. What happened in the middle, I'm afraid only Su Yunran himself knows.

She has not said a word about the assassination until now, is she swallowing her anger or has other plans?

suddenly remembered her relationship with Zhang Bowen, and couldn't help but become a little nervous. Which one was the Linzhou assassin back then, if it weren't for his unintentional officialdom, I am afraid that he would have been the prime minister of the first hundred officials by now.

The common people are so confused, but who ......

Su Yunran didn't feel that the county order's gaze was always following her, but she completely ignored holding Liang Hezhen and laughing and got into the carriage.

The more he looked indifferent, the more restless Ouyang Jing became. Did she know about the Assassins? Didn't she see them last night? This is impossible, since the money has been collected, there is no reason not to do anything.

Ouyang Jing was really puzzled, so he returned to the county government all the way to the county office.

But as soon as I entered the yamen, I heard someone come to report: "Master, which master Zhang said that he had something to visit the master, and now he is drinking tea in the hall!" ”

Ouyang Jing almost didn't fall and ate, what did he say, he just thought of him and he came, can anything be so coincidental?

A bad premonition came up, and Ouyang Jing adjusted his mentality and hurried over.

"Lord Zhang, what kind of wind is blowing you here?"

Zhang Bowen waved his hand and said: "The old man has been a senior for many years, but he can't afford to be an adult with the county order." ”

Ouyang Jing smiled and arched his hand: "In front of your elder, I am just a student, and there is no one in this world who can afford this voice more than you." ”

Zhang Bowen smiled faintly, and didn't say anything about this title: "The old man came abruptly today, it was really because an incident happened last night, but this matter has something to do with the county order, so I have to go on this trip." ”

Ouyang Jing's hands clenched into fists unconsciously, and a moment of unnaturalness flashed on his face: "Look at what you said, you should come and walk around more and urge the students." What happened last night did you say had something to do with me? Last night, there were assassins in my county office. ”

Zhang Bowen didn't see much emotion on his face, but smiled faintly at Ouyang Jing: "Oh? The county government was also assassinated last night? ”

Ouyang Jing pretended to be excited: "Also? Could it be that there are assassins in your house? How can this be true, this group of assassins is too rampant! ”

Zhang Bowen saw that his reaction was a little too excited, and couldn't help shaking his head, and his heart was disappointed in him a little more. Since he came back to live in Hongyang, the county lord has been very attentive to him, and often comes to ask for advice with a humble attitude of asking if he doesn't understand.

He once thought that Ouyang Jing was a good official with the people in his heart, but now, he is ashamed that he really looked away at the beginning.

"It's not me, it's the assassination of a girl in front of my house, which alarmed the guards in the house and arrested her. I wanted to hand this matter directly to the county order to deal with it, but the mission was still there at the time, and I was afraid that this matter would not affect well, so I decided to detain the person in the palace for interrogation. ”

Ouyang Jing looked surprised: "I see, it's still your lord, you take care of the overall situation." Are these people still in your house? Or I'm going to send someone to detain someone back? ”

Zhang Bowen waved his hand: "Don't worry, they are not the same thing as the assassins of the mission." Those people are dead soldiers, and if they fail to do so, they will commit suicide. And last night's person was an ordinary killer, hired to kill someone. I have a confession drawn by the killer himself, so let's take a look at it for myself! ”

Ouyang Jing looked at the results, and it was written word for word how Ouyang Langshu contacted the killer organization, how he provided Su Yunran's information, and then he was ordered by Ouyang Langshu to assassinate him.

The whole confession is very detailed, but anyone with experience can make a basic judgment, and this confession is credible.

Ouyang Jing's face still couldn't help but be a hundred, and he looked very indignant: "My lord is Mingjian, the little girl is a deep lady." This door is not out of the second door, where does she know what killer organization, this is simply nonsense! ”

Zhang Bowen did not echo his words because of his excitement: "Don't worry, this matter has not yet been finalized. But since someone drew a confession to Ling Ai, then this matter cannot be settled in private. ”

Ouyang Jing was a little vigilant, and for a while he didn't even have the previous respect: "What do you mean by this?" The students were a little confused. According to the time he said above, it happened to be the time when the county government was assassinated. They fled from our house and met Su Yunran on the way. I ordered a strict investigation, and only then did they think of holding Su Yunran hostage to find a hiding place. ”

Ouyang Jing has thought about this explanation since last night. For the time when the county government happened at this moment, he has already unified the caliber, and he will definitely not make a mistake.

Zhang Bowen stood up and looked at him at eye level: "This is involving your daughter, you should avoid it." And the injured party has a lot of relationship with me, and I should avoid it. So, let the prefect decide this matter! ”

Ouyang Jing chuckled, he had calculated a lot, but he didn't calculate that this matter would pull out the prefect.

"My lord, the prefect has a lot of opportunities, it's not good to invite him over for such a trivial matter, right? I know this in my heart, and those assassins who can't hold my daughter hostage, so they frame me for revenge. My lord, you have also been in the officialdom for a long time, so you don't really believe the killer's words, right? ”

Zhang Bowen waved his hand: "Only people can judge the merits, what you have to do now is to avoid suspicion." Why, aren't you worried about the prefect? Or are you worried that my old man will affect the prefect's judgment? ”

Ouyang Jing hurriedly waved his hand: "You are serious, it's not that I don't believe in the prefect, I just think it's obvious that it's a frame-up." I, as a father, can I bear to let my daughter go to court to suffer this kind of grievance? ”

Zhang Bowen patted him on the shoulder: "If you keep understanding, then you will really let your daughter be wronged." Is real gold not afraid of fire, but if it is innocent, why is it afraid of going to court? ”

Ouyang Jing's face became more and more uncontrollable, Zhang Bowen said this beautifully, can a girl look good in court?

The previous incident had already ruined Ouyang Langshu's reputation, and now he is charged with buying a murderer, not to mention his daughter, even his career is afraid to end.

But the arrow has to be sent on the string, Zhang Bowen has already put him here, if he shirks it again, I am afraid that he will be suspected of weak-heartedness.

"In that case, then the student will follow your arrangement, but I don't know if the prefect has time now." Ouyang Jing could only pretend to agree first.

Zhang Bowen smiled: "Don't worry, he will come." ”

His words fell, knocking on Ouyang Jing's heart very unpleasantly, as if this person was premeditated to target him.

In this struggle, I am afraid that I will put my family and life on the line.

Ouyang Jing suddenly broke into a cold sweat, how could things develop like this? Did he underestimate the relationship between Su Yunran and Zhang Bowen, or was there someone behind the whole thing?

He didn't understand it, so he heard the housekeeper rush over: "Master, the prefect is here!" ”

With a sigh, Ouyang Jing's heart suddenly fell to the ground.

Such a coincidence? Haven't you even sent someone to invite him?

Ouyang Jing looked at Zhang Bowen, this is not right, this matter was premeditated by someone in advance, but he unknowingly entered the game. People who think they are playing chess on their own business do not know when they have become a pawn on the chessboard.

Plans can't keep up with changes, and now they have to improvise.

The prefect Meng Jiquan stood in the public hall in an official uniform, and when Ouyang Jing saw him, the bad premonition became stronger and stronger: "The next official is late, please forgive your sins!" ”

Meng Jiquan waved his hand: "The county order doesn't need to be polite, and the official is in a hurry and has no time to give notice." Okay, if you are here today on official business, I won't make small talk. Ascension! ”

"This ......" Ouyang Jing looked stunned and panicked, he hadn't made it clear what he was trying in court yet?

Zhang Bowen did not move forward, and completely regarded himself as an ordinary person and stood outside the door of the public hall to watch. This operation made Ouyang Jing even more confused.

"Ascension!" The stunned wood was photographed, the left and right officials shouted mighty, and the drums outside also beat up, which immediately attracted a lot of people to watch the excitement.

Meng Jiquan shouted: "Take the plaintiff to court!" ”

A thin old man was brought to the front of the hall: "Wu Laoqi, a grass man, is a native of Hongyang Xiaokou Village, and he is a laborer in charge of repairing the dam. ”

Meng Jiquan nodded, and said with a complaint: "Wu Laoqi, do you know who you want to sue?" If it's true, it's okay to say, but if it's framed, can you afford the consequences? ”

Wu Laoqi said with a resolute face: "The person who the grass people are suing today is Ouyang Jing, the commander of Hongyang County!" ”

Ouyang Jing's eyes widened in disbelief: "You...... What did you say? ”

Meng Jiquan shook his head at Ouyang: "Lord Ouyang, don't worry, listen to him." ”

Wu Laoqi pointed at Ouyang Jing and said: "What the grass people said today is true, if it is not true, I am willing to thunder in the sky!" He Ouyang Jing treats us workers kindly on the surface, but in fact, he is deducted everywhere. When the dam collapsed last year, he wanted to give an explanation to his superiors, so he pushed my son out. He said that he bought the materials for the construction of the dam, and he was also responsible for the final acceptance. My son was not convinced, and wanted to go over the level to ask for justice, but who would have thought that he would die at home that night, and left a suicide note pleading guilty! ”

Meng Jiquan opened the suicide note in the corner of the table: "Wu Laoqi, do you recognize this as your son's note?" ”

Before Wu Laoqi finished speaking, Ouyang Jing took the first step: "My lord! He can't read at all! His son, I remember, did know a few words to get appreciated, and let him support the dam overseer. Unexpectedly, he was negligent and slack, and finally made a big mistake. Wu Laoqi, your son committed suicide because he confessed his guilt, and you actually wanted to rely on the official! ”
