Qin Tingshi said: "I arrived yesterday in the evening. Not long after I took over the history of Honshu, I received a report that this inn was secretly engaged in smuggling and smuggling salt, and that there was collusion between officials and businessmen, which was very rampant. I've wanted to come here for a long time, and I happened to be free these days, so I went on a visit.

It was a coincidence that when I got to the hotel and learned that there were no rooms, I thought I'd have a meal here first and see if I could see anything.

One of my attendants said that his relatives worked in the back kitchen, and he wanted to go to the back kitchen, so I agreed. When he came back from the back kitchen, he looked panicked, and when I asked him what was wrong, he said that his relative had told him that the shopkeeper had asked his relative to poison the tea for the guests, but his relatives did not dare.

I immediately told him that if his relatives pretended to poison him, he could add something else to the hot tea instead of poison. Then I sent another retinue to dispatch a group of my men, quietly surrounded the place, and then secretly controlled the shopkeeper and his two accomplices. ”

Speaking of this, Qin Tingshi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "You are really an auspicious star among the rich men!" Originally, every guy in this inn was strictly guarded, but it happened that when my entourage went to look for his relatives, the person who took care of the kitchen went to the thatched house, and the two of them could talk. ”

After listening to Qin Tingshi's narration, everyone felt like they were listening to a book, and they all felt that all this was too smooth, so they all focused their eyes on Fu Xiaojiu.

Wan Lin whispered in Fu Xiaojiu's ear and asked, "Lady, didn't you feel flustered yesterday?" ”

Fu Xiaojiu still had an incredible expression on his face, and said in a low voice: "I really didn't feel flustered last night, or I would have been on guard a long time ago." ”

Wan Lin said with emotion: "The reason why you didn't panic is because Qin Tingshi secretly protected us." ”

"Lord Thorn, thank you for saving your life!"

Fu Xiaojiu thanked Qin Tingshi again, and Wan Lin and the others also thanked him again.

"Wait a minute, I'll bring the innkeeper and his accomplices who were going to murder you!"

After Qin Tingshi finished speaking, his face sank instantly, and he ordered: "Bring the prisoners up!" ”

Fu Xiaojiu and the others had never seen the innkeeper, guessing that he would not want the lives of a few of them for no reason, Fu Xiaojiu was still muttering in his heart, could it be that this shopkeeper was really bought by the Xue family's father and son?

Fu Xiaojiu didn't believe that the Xue family's father and son would be so persistent, nor did he believe that things would be so coincidental.

However, it was such a coincidence, when he saw that the innkeeper was escorted up with Xue Zhao and Xue Lai, Fu Xiaojiu had to believe this fact.

After the three of them were brought over, they were knelt down by the officers and soldiers on their heads, and Qin Thorn shouted at them: "Say it again, what is the relationship between the two of you?" ”

Xue Lai glanced at Xue Lai first, and said reluctantly: "He is my cousin." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Ni Lili again, "His name is Ni Lili, and he is our uncle." ”

Ni Li hurriedly defended: "My lord! Although they call me 'uncle', we are only distant relatives, and we don't move around much on weekdays! We haven't seen each other in years! ”

Hearing his words, Qin Tingshi became even more angry, and asked angrily: "Full of nonsense!" You don't move around much on weekdays, why are you teaming up to kill people now? ”

Ni Li had a bitter face and hurriedly explained: "No, no, my lord, you listen to my explanation!" They initially wanted me to drugged the tea, but I didn't agree. They later said that I didn't have to worry about it, they just had to do it themselves. I also felt that it was inappropriate when I heard it, I am a businessman, how can I let the store kill people! I'll kick them both out! The two of them did it behind my back, and I really don't know anything! ”

As soon as Ni Li finished speaking, Xue Zhao immediately stretched his neck and said, "Uncle, you can't be so unauthentic!" You obviously accepted 500 taels of silver from us and promised to let the guy poison the tea, how can you say that this matter has nothing to do with you!? ”

Listening to Xue Zhao's words, Ni Li immediately became anxious, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Nonsense! You only gave me three hundred taels of silver, where did you get five hundred taels? It's time like this, and you still want to trick me with two hundred taels of silver? ”

Seeing their "dog-eat-dog-hair" look, Qin Tingshi laughed angrily at them.

Fu Xiaojiu and the others were also anxious about the IQ of the three of them, and Fu Xiaojiu wondered how the innkeeper opened the inn so big?

"Shut up! You don't have to argue, I don't think any of you are good things! ”

Qin Tingshi roared, and several people immediately shut up.

"I only ask you, why did you poison the tea of the rich man and others, do you think that the previous trial of the official was unfair, and you have a grudge? So take revenge on them? ”

Xue Zhao and Xue Lai didn't answer, and Ni Li also kept his mouth shut for the time being.

In fact, there was no need to interrogate at all, the reason why Xue Lai and Xue Zhao wanted to poison Fu Xiaojiu and others was to take revenge.

Seeing that they didn't speak, Qin Tingshi was even more annoyed.

"At the beginning, it was the official who sentenced the case, and the official sentenced you to compensate the money to the store, and you should retaliate against the official! Why do you want to take revenge on the rich man? Besides, Fu Langzhong also healed your injuries, even if you don't appreciate her, you shouldn't take revenge on her! Xue Lai, Xue Zhao, did you two drink too much flower wine on weekdays and drink your brains badly? ”

Xue Zhao and Xue Lai had already screamed countless bad luck in their hearts, they really couldn't have dreamed that Qin County's order, who tried their case at the beginning, was promoted to the sixth rank assassin in a blink of an eye?

That's a quick promotion, isn't it?

Ni Li didn't care about it a lot, he took out the silver ticket in his arms, held the silver ticket in both hands, handed it to Qin Tingshi, and begged: "My lord, I really didn't participate in this small matter, and I ask my lord to check it out!" The little one is willing to donate the three hundred taels of silver he received, and please spare the little one this time! ”

Qin Tingshi glanced at the silver ticket in his hand disdainfully, and sneered: "What, do you want to take three hundred taels to bribe this official?" ”

Ni Li barely squeezed out a hint of sneer, and explained: "No, no, how can this be a bribe for you?" Isn't there a disaster in the south? The little one wants to donate the money to the victims! ”

Qin Tingshi's smile became even colder, "Hehe, you don't need to donate, the official will check the accounts in your store, if you find any problems, your family property will naturally be seized by the official!" The court will donate money to the people on your behalf! ”

Qin Tingshi said, slapped the table suddenly, and said sharply: "Come on, take these three prisoners down and guard them strictly, this official will go to Songjiang County later, this official wants to see how many heads the county commander and master can teach two bastards who are so careless about human life!" ”

"Assassin Shi spares his life!"

"Lord Thorn Shi, my father is innocent!"

"Adult, the little one is wronged, the little one hasn't done anything!"

The three of them begged and howled and were dragged down, Fu Xiaojiu and the others kept watching them being dragged out of the door, and everyone was in an extremely comfortable mood.

Wan Lin couldn't help but sigh a little again, "Lord Qin, I didn't expect that when we met again, it would be like this. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to see the sun today. To tell you the truth, we were almost killed in Songjiang County before. ”

Wan Lin recounted what happened in Songjiang County, and after Qin Tingshi heard it, he couldn't help but scold Xue Lai and Xue Zhao again.

However, after the three bastards were dragged down, Qin Tingshi's mood was generally good, and after scolding them, he said to Wan Lin and the others with a pleasant face: "Although we met in a thrilling situation this time, it was also a thrill. In my opinion, after this time, you will definitely come to Jitai in the future, and you will never encounter any danger again. ”

Wan Lin smiled: "Then borrow the auspicious words of the adult!" ”

Qin Tingshi said again: "By the way, if your carriage suddenly encounters any bumps on the road, as long as the coachman does not stop, you should not let the coachman stop, and do not get out of the car to check." ”

Wan Lin was puzzled: "Why is that?" ”

Qin Tingshi replied: "Because they wanted to do something to you on the road before, so they placed a stone on the road and wanted to overturn your carriage, but I didn't expect that your coachman's driving skills were good, and the carriage did not overturn when it pressed over the stones." ”

Wan Lin suddenly realized, "It turns out that the stones that appeared on the road are like this, and I still wonder, where did the stones come from on the flat avenue?" ”

Qin Tingshi continued to tell Wan Lin and the others: "The most terrifying thing in this world is the human heart, your exam is very important, you must be more careful. Eat and drink by yourself, and don't accept other people's things at will! ”

Wan Lin and the others immediately replied respectfully: "Thank you for reminding us, we will definitely keep your teachings in mind!" ”

Qin Tingshi stood up, although there was reluctance in his eyes, he could only say: "Okay, this official will not delay your time to hurry, while the time is still early, you should hurry up and get on the road!" ”

The four of them nodded, went back to their rooms, packed their things, and set off again.

Before leaving, Qin Tingshi also said that when they meet again in the future, they may meet in officialdom.

The four of them sat in the carriage and sighed, it was really good and evil to be rewarded, so they could be rescued by Fu Xiaojiu in secret, and Qin Tingshi, who was helped by Fu Xiaojiu.

The next journey was as smooth as Qin Tingshi said, no matter where they went, there were spare rooms, although there were also days when four people needed to squeeze a room, it was better than sleeping in the temple, or having money and no place to live.

After a few more days, they finally arrived in the provincial capital.

The provincial city is really much more prosperous and lively than the county seat, Fu Xiaojiu looked at the carriage on the street and said: "I thought our carriage was okay, but compared with the carriage in the provincial town, our carriage is a little shabby." ”

Wan Lin said open-mindedly: "We should be content if we have a carriage, what is shabby?" ”

Wan Zhang also said contentedly: "What Brother Lin said is that we have suffered a lot less than others. ”

Seeing that the two of them were in such a good state of mind, Fu Xiaojiu and Nianzhen were happy in their hearts.

They first found an inn to settle in, and then they hurried to the dental store to find a house to prepare for the exam.
