Xiao Zhi was not surprised by such a result, he always felt that most of the city patrol army were bandits, but now the city patrol army has completely become a regular army, and it is no longer a ragtag army formed by a rabble.

When Xi Hongdou caught up, the bandits had already been restrained, she hurriedly went to look at Xiao Zhi and asked, "Is there any injury?" ”

Xiao Zhi smiled and shook his head: "It's not hurt, where can it hurt to deal with such a few stinky fish and rotten shrimp?" ”

Xi Hongdou smiled, but she was still worried in her heart, although she believed in Xiao Zhi's kung fu, but their goal was not to lick blood at the knife edge every day after all. Fortunately, this bandit problem is now completely solved, and I will be able to live a normal life in the future.

After arresting these bandits, the follow-up will be easy to do, Guo Linjiang was directly confessed, the bandits are righteous to their brothers, but they have no feelings for a wealthy businessman like Guo Linjiang.

Xiao Zhi got the complaint, plus the previous fake fishmonger, Guo Linjiang was quickly arrested.

On the day of the ascension, the people came to watch, and the scene was even more spectacular than Guo Xiaochun's court.

In front of the people, Xiao Zhi read out Guo Linjiang's various crimes, and after Guo Linjiang listened to it, he said with a smile: "Take the chicken feather as an arrow!" ”

Xiao Zhi also smiled, and then shouted directly: "The fathers and villagers present, if you still want to sue Guo Linjiang, you can stand up, as long as there is definite evidence, you can make a note!" "Guo Linjiang's current crime is enough to be cut eight times, but just letting Guo Linjiang be cut down like this can't make the people angry, and all the grievances and grievances suffered by the people should be taken out at this time!

At first, some people hesitated, but soon everyone stood up, what family land was forcibly occupied, and there was a daughter who worked as a maid in Guo's house and directly didn't see anyone dead or dead, everyone was waiting and watching before, when Guo Xiaochun was in the middle of Guo Xiaochun, they estimated that Guo Linjiang didn't dare to come forward, and now that Guo Linjiang is dying, what else are you afraid of?

Xi Hongdou has been watching, seeing that everyone wants to say, Zhao Huan hurriedly asked people to prepare paper and pencils, as long as they can write in the yamen, they all put up the table to help write paper, and Xi Hongdou also hurried to help.

Guo Linjiang's crime has been decided, and he will be beheaded after the autumn next year, but the people's pleadings were written for three days, and when hundreds of grievances were put in front of him, Xi Hongdou was also shocked.

She has seen the world, but what is happening in front of her makes her feel incredible.

Guo Linjiang is not an official, he is just a wealthy businessman in a small county, how can he do so many angry things? These grievances that appear on the pleadings are not only the words, but the truths behind them make her feel more terrifying.

"Guo Linjiang refused to confess Xue Ling." Xiao Zhi said that this is what he regrets the most, Guo Linjiang should think that he can't defeat Xue Ling, so he never mentions the role that Xue Ling plays in this, he should also want to protect his wife and daughter.

Xi Hongdou sighed, but seeing that Xiao Zhi was even more depressed than her, she could understand.

Xiao Zhi felt that although he had brought down Guo Linjiang this time, he was not very happy, Guo Linjiang was only the tip of the iceberg after all, with Xue Ling, how many Guo Linjiang were there in Shuobei Prefecture? It wasn't really a win for him, either.

Xi Hongdou saw that Xiao Zhi was a little depressed, so he said: "Let's eat together in the evening to celebrate, you can't become a fat person in one bite, everything is done little by little, but this is also a good start!" ”

Xiao Zhi smiled, he also thought about it, anyway, he had been in office for three years, and now he could have such a harvest in less than half a year, he knew that he was just too anxious.

In the evening, the yamen was lively and lively, the county magistrate paid out of his own pocket to invite the yamen and the people of the patrol army to eat and drink, except for the people on duty, all gathered in the yamen, Xi Hongdou's barbecue stall, and the restaurant opposite the yamen were all busy, and the tables, chairs and benches were also moved from the restaurant.

As soon as the common people saw this situation, they sent some chickens, ducks, fish eggs, green vegetables and radishes to the yamen.

"Lord Xiao, this is our heart, it's all cheap food, don't dislike it!" An eldest lady speaks on behalf of everyone.

Xiao Zhi, as an official of the imperial court, couldn't really accept it, so he said: "Folks, listen to me, I, Xiao Zhi, as a parent official, should do these things, just do what I should do, and there is nothing to invite credit, I have received the love of the villagers, but I really can't accept this thing, everyone take it back!" ”

Everyone said that they would not do anything, and in the end they piled up all the things at the gate of the yamen before leaving.

Xiao Zhi looked at the things placed at the entrance of the yamen and the villagers who ran away without a swarm of bees, and his heart was mixed, he originally felt that he was behind in the scientific expedition, and this broken place was really helpless, he only had to accept it.

But after witnessing the helplessness and sadness of the people and the simplicity and kindness, he felt that even such a small Lihong County is also a place where many people work hard to live, and no one can ignore the livelihood of the people here because they are poor and chaotic.

Xi Hongdou walked over and patted Xiao Zhi and asked, "Do you feel that your nose is sour, and there seems to be something in your chest that is about to rush out?" ”

Xiao Zhi looked at Xi Hongdou, and then nodded, she was not wrong at all, he felt this way now.

"It's called shock and emotion." Xi Hongdou said with a smile that Xiao Zhi used to be belittled every day in Kyoto City, and was also labeled as a second ancestor fighting maniac, but now being loved by everyone should be an unprecedented experience for Xiao Zhi, and it is expected that there will be this feeling.

"There are still two and a half years left, and I feel that the life of Lihong County is not as bad as I imagined." Xiao Zhi said.

After the Guo family was overthrown, the business of the yamen began to be busy, the people dared to sue, and the bullying of the wealthy businessmen could not be hidden, although Xue Ling had not been exposed yet, but he didn't want to make trouble for himself, if he was bought by the wealthy businessmen at this time, he was afraid that Xiao Zhi would catch his handle.

"My lord, that Guo Linjiang is quite honest, and he hasn't revealed a word about adults, otherwise Xiao Zhi would have found him a long time ago!" Master Zhao saw that Xue Ling was gloomy and bleak these days, so he could only be relieved first, this Shuobei Taishou was still Xue Ling in the end!

Xue Ling said: "This person can't stay, if you don't say it now, it doesn't mean you won't say it in the future." ”

"He always has to think about his family, the evidence of his crime is conclusive, he is dead, and there is no way to overturn the case, he is a smart person, he knows how powerful adults are, so he won't say it, so we don't need to take risks, that cell is not what it used to be, there are many people, and it is not easy to kill someone unconsciously!" Now, according to his idea, it is to stand still.

Xue Ling thought about it, and still said: "It's still not good, you find someone to sneak in, find Guo Linjiang, threaten his family's life, and commit suicide directly in prison, in this way, the death row prisoner in the prison will die before the execution, Xiao Zhi will definitely have a headache!" "It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

Master Zhao hurried to do it, and Xue Ling waited for news.

The next day, Master Zhao let a family member enter the cell under the pretext of visiting a thief inside, and after entering, people hurried to find Guo Linjiang.

After Guo Linjiang heard what the person said, he sneered: "Are you so impatient to want me to die?" ”

"Think about it for your family, let alone a Lihong County, the entire Shuobei is in the hands of Lord Xue, your wife and daughter are not implicated by you, and the Guo family's property is gone, if Lord Xue wants to do it, killing someone is like crushing an ant to death!" Jia Ding said.

Guo Linjiang was silent for a moment, and then said, "I know." ”

As soon as the others left, Xiao Zhi came out of the cell next to him, looked at Guo Linjiang and said, "Are you still obsessed with it now?" Now Xue Ling is forcing you to judge yourself with the lives of your wife and daughter, but even if you die, he should not let go of your wife and daughter, they both live under the same roof, what you say, your wife and daughter may also hear it. ”

Guo Linjiang knew that what Xiao Zhi said was true, because not only did Xiao Zhi say that, but in order to give his wife and daughter a guarantee, he also deliberately left an account book for his wife, just in case of emergency.

"There's an account book in the hands of my wife." Guo Linjiang said that it is wise to cooperate with Xiao Zhi now.

"You're happy, but I'm not going to pardon your sins for the sake of a ledger." Xiao Zhi felt that Guo Linjiang would use the account book to make a living for himself.

Guo Linjiang laughed directly: "I won't, but Xue Ling's old puppet is calculating everywhere, and you have always wanted me to die, and you specially sent someone to assassinate me, even if you promise to release me now for the sake of the ledger, you will definitely assassinate me later." "He has no way to live, it's just the difference between dying early and playing early.

Xiao Zhi was surprised, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Assassination?" When did I assassinate you? ”

"Why bother with it now? If it weren't for the assassination, my family would have moved, so why would I come back when I left the city? Guo Linjiang looked at Xiao Zhi and felt that Xiao Zhi was pretending to be unruly at this time.

Xiao Zhi shook his head: "I didn't assassinate you, if I wanted to kill you, I had to be a means, and I wanted you to die under the law, not lynching!" "He thinks it's boring here.

Guo Linjiang looked at Xiao Zhi directly, seeing that Xiao Zhi's gaze did not dodge in the slightest, and felt that Xiao Zhi did not seem to be lying......

"That ......" Guo Linjiang had doubts about those who assassinated him, and after a long time, he figured out that he was calculated by Xue Ling again!

Xiao Zhi said: "Although you are guilty, Xue Ling pushed you. ”

Guo Linjiang looked hateful, and then said: "I'll tell you the location of the account book, take my handwritten letter to my wife, and she will hand it over to you." ”

"Why are you so happy?" Xiao Zhi asked.

Guo Linjiang said coldly: "Even if I die, I can't let Xue Ling's old puppet really be proud!" "He's revenge!
