Mei Xiaoren and Lao Li listened to everything outside the wall, still in a fog, she was not surprised that Xiao Lin had done these things, but she didn't know why there was such a thing, could it be that God suddenly opened his eyes

Before she looked at Xiao Lin, she looked at Lao Li first, and saw that Lao Li's hands hanging on both sides were clenched into fists, and the green tendons on the back of his hands burst out, which showed that he was very angry, very angry

"Lord Prefect, Lord Prefect" Xiao Lin knelt down tremblingly, so frightened that he couldn't say anything else for a long time.

"Okay, you Xiao Lin, the old man respects you Xiao family is a wealthy family, and he is polite to you, but I didn't expect you to be ill-intentioned and calculated to the old man."

"Prefect, that's not true." Xiao Lin shook his head and pointed behind him, "It was the two of them who wanted to blackmail me, and it was they who designed to wronged me."

Mei Xiaoren looked at the two masked people, they broke into the prefect's mansion, not to mention, now they are not afraid of her and Lao Li, how can they be the fugitives of the Evil Tiger Village with such courage.

Governor Li seemed to have seen the clue, so he asked, "Who are you?"

A man in black pulls down the mask.

Mei Xiaoren was immediately taken aback: "Xingyun, why are you?"

Governor Li recognized it, he was the one who sent Mei Xiaoren back, so he asked Mei Xiaoren in a blink of an eye: "This is what you arranged."

Mei Xiaoren shook his head. Where did she know that there was such a thing, she always thought that Xingyun had left on the day she sent her back.

Governor Li can trust Mei Xiaoren. At the banquet, it was his daughter's personal maid who invited him, and asked him to call Mei Xiaoren.

When he asked Mei Xiaoren to come, Mei Xiaoren didn't know what he was doing here.

In fact, it doesn't matter who arranged it, what matters is that the fact that they confide in is shocking.

In addition, Governor Li remembered that this person named Xingyun came from Wenhua Palace, which was not simple.

The vestibule of the Lee House.

The place where the song and dance was peaceful has now become extremely solemn.

The banquet was not withdrawn, but the dancing girls in the hall were gone, replaced by two kneeling men.

One Xiao Lin, one Liu Yuanwai.

Governor Li wanted to deal with official affairs, so the businessmen took the initiative to retire and leave, and the rest were all officials of the yamen, still sitting in their respective seats, not daring to make a sound.

Governor Li also showed Xingyun and another guard a seat.

There is still wine in the glass, Mei Xiaoren took a sip of the wine glass, raised his eyes and glanced at Gao Jingshu slightly, seeing that he still looked casual, admiring him for pretending to be like enough.

This is not the lobby of the government, there is no surprise, so Governor Li slammed the table with his hand, "Xiao Lin, you still haven't recruited from the truth"

Xiao Lin seemed to have wilted, tilted his head and knelt on the ground, but said in his mouth: "I don't have anything to do." ”

"The official heard the words clearly, and you still dare to quibble"

Xiao Lin gradually knelt straighter, "My lord, this is clearly a trap that Mei Tong sentenced me."

"He put a knife on your neck, or poisoned you, forcing you to admit that he colluded with the evil tiger village to fight for the tiger" Li Zhifu was full of anger and sneered, "You are not too bold, you dare to instigate that group of mountain bandits to rob the state capital and lure the old man to send troops"

The officials present didn't understand what was going on at first, but they saw that Governor Li had left the table alone, and after a while, he came back with Lord Tongju, Xiao Gongzi, and three other people, one of whom they knew was Liu Yuanwai on the outskirts of the city.

Later, Xiao Lin and Liu Yuanwai knelt here. now

When they heard the prefect's question, they understood why there was such a scene.

Xiao Lin stopped talking, as if he was afraid that the more he depicted, the darker it would be.

Governor Li turned to look at Liu Yuanwai: "If he doesn't say it, then you can help him say it."

Liu Yuanwai knelt on the ground and trembled, kowtowed and trembled: "My lord, the grass people were threatened by him, he said that if the grass people don't accompany the mountain bandits to act, he will let the mountain bandits move seriously, and the grass people are forced to do it."

"Why is he like this?"

Liu Yuanwai shook his head, "The grass people don't know. ”

Governor Li's gaze swept to the right side of the hall again, staring at the person at the head of the line, "Do you know?"

Gao Jingshu expected that Governor Li would ask him, after all, he and the Xiao family were in-laws, so how could they get out of it.

He didn't rush to answer, but looked at Xiao Lin. Xiao Lin still looked like he was open-minded, no one paid attention to it, and he didn't speak, as if he didn't want to help him carry any sins.

I don't want to carry it, so Xiao Lin dares to bite Gao Jingshu made a bold gamble, and replied calmly: "I don't know about my humble position." ”

Then he looked at Xiao Lin again, as he expected, Xiao Lin just glared at him angrily, still didn't say anything, presumably grinding his back molars secretly, scolding him in his heart. It doesn't matter, he can't scold his black gauze hat.

Governor Li had to continue to ask Xiao Lin: "Say, why did you do this?"

"Lord Prefect, my Xiao family has a few catties and taels in Xuanzhou, presumably the prefect knows that if I collapse, the Xiao family will collapse, and the taxes in Xuanzhou will be paid."

Mei Xiaoren couldn't help but shake his head and sighed in his heart. Xiao Lin didn't know Lao Li's temper, and he dared to threaten Lao Li at this juncture, but he was afraid that he would add fuel to the fire and make matters worse.

Sure enough, what little patience Lao Li had left was threatened by him, and he immediately shouted: "Come on, escort Xiao Lin back to the mansion and put him in prison." He also commanded with a side eye, "Mei Xiaoren, you quickly draw up Xiao Lin's crime and let him draw it, since he refuses to recruit, then what crime does he have, you just look at it and write it." ”

Look at the writing

Mei Xiaoren exclaimed, didn't she let her write as much as she wanted, whether it was real or fake, it was all up to her.

Lao Li's tricks to retaliate against people are ruthless enough, and he blames Xiao Lin for not being able to do anything, and if he threatens people, he can say it casually without looking at whose territory it is.

She bowed her head and replied, "Humble and commanded." ”

Some of the officials wiped a cold sweat for Xiao Lin, and the prefect's move put the survival of the entire Xiao family in the hands of the general judge.

If the general judge is happy, he will write casually and let the Xiao family go; If you are not happy, with a wave of the pen in your hand, the Xiao family will have to go to prison all over the house, and there is no certainty about life and death.

As for the drawing

That's a sure thing

Several guards came in at the order, and were about to escort Xiao Lin away, when someone suddenly shouted outside the door: "Their sins are more than these. ”

Everyone looked at the door and saw a young woman entering.

The woman has outstanding looks and dignified manners, but her expression is somewhat serious.

Mei Xiaoren saw the person who came, and whispered in surprise: "Qingqing girl." ”

Qingqing walked to the hall, stood beside Xiao Lin, owed lightly to the people in the hall, and called: "Dad." ”

Governor Li frowned and scolded: "Qingqing, my father and all the adults are discussing here, what are you going to do?"

Mei Xiaoren buried his head and looked at the table, and wiped his forehead with a slap.

She only knew that the Qingqing girl was called Qingqing, and it turned out that her surname was Li and her name was Li Qingqing
