Chapter 278: Proceed with Caution
At this time, Pu Congxi, who had not spoken on the side, said to Xiao Yulin: "Master Ben has listened to it for so long, and he has also heard that some famous people are coming. It turned out that this thief had a relationship with Xiao Gongzi before, and he was still a human trafficker. Human trafficking is a capital offense! ”
Xiao Yulin said: "But at that time, my son was in a hurry and failed to verify the matter. Therefore, there is no real evidence in the hands of this son, and the government decree is afraid that he cannot be convicted of this crime. However, this assassination is real, and he can't escape this crime! ”
Pu Congxi said: "What Xiao Gongzi said is in Jiangbei City, not under the jurisdiction of this master. Therefore, this matter cannot be investigated thoroughly by the master of his authority. However, Master Ben will show Jiangbei City and ask Xu Taishou of Jiangbei City to investigate the matter thoroughly. ”
Xiao Yulin said: "This man, the government order can be taken away." This woman, her identity still needs to be investigated, and my son has to be interrogated again. ”
Pu Congxi looked at Zhong Yuqi, and still took Zhong Yuqi's previous words to heart, that is, Zhong Yuqi asked the female assassin to serve the guards.
Therefore, Pu Congxi's face showed embarrassment and said, "But ......"
Xiao Yulin glanced at Zhong Yuqi, and his face showed a little embarrassment, and said, "Oh! Just now, Madame just said that, just to force the prisoner to tell the truth. How could Madame do such a thing? ”
Pu Congxi smiled and said, "That's!" Is that! It's just that the prisoner is in custody with Xiao Gongzi, and if something happens to the prisoner, Master Ben will also take care of the matter......"
Xiao Yulin said: "All the consequences will be borne by this son, and it has nothing to do with you!" ”
Pu Congxi smirked twice and said, "Hehe! But Xiao Gongzi is neither an official of the imperial court, nor an envoy of inspection, how can he bear this matter? ”
Ma Liu said: "If you are not an official of the imperial court, you are not an inspection envoy, can't you take care of this matter?" ”
Qin Zhutou said: "Aren't you talking nonsense? ”
Ma Liu said to Qin Zhutou: "Do you have a part to speak here?" ”
Not to be outdone, Qin Zhutou replied: "The master speaks, do you have the right to speak as a subordinate?" ”
"You ......"
Ma Liu choked for a moment, and then said, "I'm speaking for my son-in-law, why not?" ”
Qin Zhutou said: "What is your identity, and you can still speak on behalf of your son-in-law?" ”
Ma Liu raised his chin and said, "That's it, how?" ”
"Huh!"
Pu Congxi waved his hands and signaled the two not to quarrel.
Subsequently, Pu Congxi bowed his hand to Xiao Gongzi and said: "If Xiao Gongzi does not reveal his identity to this mansion, please also ask Xiao Gongzi to forgive this mansion for not dereliction of duty." ”
Ma Liu said: "How can the identity of my son-in-law be revealed to outsiders at will? ”
Qin Zhutou said: "In that case, who knows if you are people in the imperial court?" Isn't it because you're playing tricks to trick me into waiting? ”
Ma Liu said: "There are so many of us in our group, will we pretend to be identities in order to deceive you?" I said that the identity of my son-in-law should not be disclosed to the public. Otherwise, what kind of accident will happen, how many of your heads are enough to cut off? ”
"Huh!"
Xiao Yulin glared at Ma Liu, very dissatisfied with Ma Liu's words.
Pu Congxi carefully tasted the meaning of Ma Liu's words, and seemed to have guessed Xiao Yulin's identity in his heart.
So, Pu Congxi stood up, bowed respectfully to Xiao Yulin, and said, "In this way, the government will no longer ask in detail." If Xiao Gongzi is interrogated here, please let Xiao Gongzi inform the government. Leave! ”
Pu Congxi waved his hand, and someone quickly tied up the man. Afterwards, Pu Congxi left the inn with people.
On the way, Qin Zhutou still said indignantly to Pu Congxi: "My lord, that person is so arrogant, and the adult is the parent official here, why should the adult be so polite to them?" ”
Pu Congxi narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "You don't understand! They came from Shengjing, and they were the same surname. Looking at the attitude of Xiao Gongzi, Master Ben suspects that he is the ...... today."
Qin Zhutou listened, and after thinking about it carefully, he knew who Pu Congxi was, and he was also scared into a sweat, and said, "Ah! The adult means that Xiao Gongzi is ......"
Pu Congxi only nodded and did not speak.
Qin Zhutou said: "How can you be sure, my lord, that person is ...... What if the man is a deceitful and deceiver? Wasn't the adult being teased by him? ”
Pu Congxi said: "This master has been an official for many years, and he still has the look of people. This old man has been in charge of the government for so many years, and he has never had an accident, relying on this ability to observe words and colors. Even if that person is not the one, this master is careful to act, and that is right. ”
Pu Congxi: "No matter which person he is in Beijing, he is not something that this master can afford to provoke." Master Ben has been in Yunzhou City for so many years, but he has never been able to climb up. This time, Master Ben found this opportunity, why don't you hurry up? ”
Qin Zhutou seemed to understand something, nodded, and said, "Oh...... The subordinates seem to understand! It's no wonder that the adults were so polite to that Xiao Gongzi just now. If it weren't for the adults to stop him, I was afraid that his subordinates would also be disrespectful to that Xiao Gongzi. ”
Pu Congxi said: "Master Ben couldn't guess his identity at first, so it was up to you to talk to that kid." Isn't it, didn't that kid just say that he slipped his mouth? Besides that person, who else can easily make someone lose their head? ”
Qin Zhutou smiled innocently and said, "It's still an adult who is smart, and it is just right to call his subordinates, so he shouted to stop." At that time, his subordinates were really angry, and they couldn't wait to step forward and slap that kid a few times! ”
Pu Congxi said with a smile: "You maintain the face of this master, which is enough to show your loyalty to this master." When this master is developed in the future, this master will not forget you. ”
Qin Zhutou hurriedly bowed his hand to Pu Congxi and said, "Thank you, my subordinates!" ”
Pu Congxi took his hands behind his back and walked to the yamen of the state capital.
Qin Zhutou happily followed behind, glanced back at the man again, and scolded the catcher for taking a good look at people.
Before the words fell, I saw a sharp arrow flying in the sky. There was a "whoosh", and the next moment, the man's heart was pierced by a sharp arrow, and the man fell backwards to the ground.
"Huh? Protect your grown-ups! ”
Someone screamed, and the head catchers hurriedly drew their knives and surrounded Pu Congxi.
Seeing this scene, Pu Congxi was also so shocked that he sat down on the ground, and was still helped up by Qin Zhutou.
"Are you alright?" Qin Zhutou said.
After slowing down for a while, Pu Congxi raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and said intermittently: "Master Ben didn't ...... It's okay! Go...... Go and see what happened to the prisoner. ”
