Chapter 60: The Story Reversal

VIP chapter content,

"My lord, I'm afraid this person will break his heart and spleen, and he won't survive tonight." An old man was sitting next to the proprietor's shopkeeper, and shook his head after taking the pulse.

"Has anyone approached today?" Jiang Barium asked with his eyes closed.

"Back to the adults, the little ones are all guards who don't fit their eyes all night, and not even a single insect can fly into this prison door!" The head of the prison hurriedly replied.

This surnamed Dong's body is also true, he ate and drank well in prison, but he didn't expect that he had become more and more depressed in the past three days, he thought he was playing some tricks, but he didn't expect to faint directly today, if the person died, they would not be able to explain, so he hurriedly sent someone to notify Jiang Barium.

"My lord, could it be a pre-existing disease?" The person next to Jiang Barium asked in a low voice.

"Ill?" Jiang Barium slowly opened his eyes.

It's been three days, and there is no news from Li Mingtao's house at all? Will he sit still? No way!

"Can it still be healed?" Jiang Barium continued to ask the doctor.

"My lord, this body has come to an end, I'm afraid that even if the Great Luo Immortal comes, it won't be able to save it." The old man shook his head.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency—" Suddenly, the jailer looked in horror at the shopkeeper who was lying there.

"What a noisy and noisy thing!" Jiang Barium was already displeased, I don't know if this person surnamed Dong can hold on to Li Mingtao's people, and the people on the side are still arguing, can they not be upset.

"Dead ...... He's dead! The jailer stammered at the sight of the man's fallen arm.

After speaking, the old man reconnected his pulse, and after a while, he nodded towards Jiang Barium.

"Bad luck!" Jiang Barium kicked with his foot, thinking that he would use this person to make Li Mingtao not admit himself, but he didn't expect this person's body bones to be so bad.

"My lord, my lord's wrong!" Waves of unsettled waves rose again, and there were shouts outside the cell door.

"What's the matter!" Jiang Barium was furious, what happened today, could it be that he committed Tai Sui? The people below are neither big nor small, and they don't understand any etiquette!

"Big ...... My lord, the people of the Li family have brought a lot of people to court! Seeing Jiang Barium's angry appearance, the official couldn't even speak.

"What?! Li Mingtao! Walk! Jiang Barium was stunned for a moment, and instantly became angry, this grandson hadn't troubled him, and he had come here to spread wild.

At this time, Jiang Barium lost his rationality and hurriedly walked out with people.

"So—what about this man?" After Jiang Barium left, the remaining jailers looked at each other, what should be done with this corpse?

"What can I do? Swing it! The jailer who was reprimanded by Li Mingtao replied angrily.

"Do we still have to keep it?" It's been three days in a row, and he hasn't gone back for three days to hug his mother-in-law.

"You! Stay and watch, the others will disperse first! The warden glanced at the corpse on the stone shop, showed a look of disgust, and then turned to the man who had been asking the question.

"Huh?" While he was stunned, the jailers were all gone, leaving him alone with a long sigh.

"My lord, those Diao people have already fenced off the yamen, why don't you let them out of the city?" The official looked in a hurry.

"Did Li Mingtao bring it or did they come by themselves?" Jiang Barium calmed down a little, if Li Mingtao brought it, I was afraid that it would be a weasel to give a New Year's greeting to the chicken, and he would not be happy.

"I don't know, the little ones, they came together." The officer whispered.

"Rubbish!" Jiang Barium reprimanded, and the pace on his feet became faster.

"Adults are coming, adults are coming!" Jiang Barium heard the shouting from afar.

"Master Jiang, my girl will get married tomorrow, but it is an auspicious time to negotiate, when will the city gate be opened? Isn't it going to miss her for the rest of her life? A lady saw Jiang Barium and hurriedly stepped forward and asked nervously.

"yes, we have to go back!" Several young men echoed.

"My lord, this gate is closed without any preparation, you have to tell me when the gate will be opened!" Someone shouted in the crowd, and everyone responded.

"Fellow villagers, please rest assured, as long as the imperial court catches this spy, the city gate will be opened immediately, and there will be no delay for a moment. It's just that the spy hasn't been caught yet, if he opens the city gate in vain, if he escapes, the lower officials can't afford to pay this responsibility! I'm afraid the folks can't afford it! This is a big deal for the court, sorry for the country! Jiang Barium's face was pertinent, and he persuaded with an aggrieved face.

"This ......," the crowd began.

"I'll take care of it!" At this moment, a person suddenly walked out of the crowd, and everyone made way for him.

"What does Gong Li mean?" Jiang Barium was displeased.

"As the parent official of Luoyang County, Lord Jiang should be arrested according to the law if there is really a spy. However, do you have an official document from the imperial court? Is there any evidence that this spy is in Luoyang County? Or - the selfishness of adults?! Li Mingtao stepped forward, everyone was quiet, he got straight to the point, and directly handed a knife to Jiang Barium.

"Gong Li said with a smile, this is a matter of the imperial court, not a merchant can interfere!" The threat in Jiang's language is obvious.

"Lord Jiang has always suspected that Li killed your child, but today Li asked for justice in front of everyone. The adult's son obviously died in the woman's crotch, why did the adult have to blame Li? Could it be that if Li Mou is not arrested, the adults will secretly sweep all the Li family's belongings in Luoyang County? ! Li Mingtao took another step forward, seemingly completely unafraid of Jiang Barium's identity.

Li Mingtao used the relationship of Master Miao as early as three days ago to pass on Jiang Barium's public and private affairs to his own people, in Li Mingtao's eyes, Jiang Barium will not be an official for long, so naturally why be afraid?

"Li Mingtao, you don't want to deceive people too much!" Jiang Barium saw that the people around him were looking at him one after another, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

"Li said, as long as the adult has evidence that this spy is in Luoyang County, then Li should make amends! Otherwise, your lordship will open the city gate today and let me wait to get out!" Li Mingtao pressed forward step by step, not giving Jiang Barium any room to maneuver.

Before Li Mingtao came back, there was still an element of gambling, but he can now be completely sure that the owner is dead, and now Jiang Barium does not have any handle on him.

"Good, good!" Jiang Barium replied angrily, and then a servant suddenly came to his side in a hurry and said a word in his ear.

After Jiang Barium heard this, he immediately became overjoyed, and his original depression and anger immediately disappeared.

"Gong Li, what if Jiang has evidence?" Jiang Barium asked in a low voice.

"If there is really evidence, Li is willing to dedicate all the shops in Luoyang County to the government, so that the people of Luoyang County will have enough food and clothing!" Li Mingtao said without thinking, this sentence is wonderful, it is an impossible thing, but it just moved his mouth, and he won the hearts of the people around him.

"Good! The folks present testified! Bring people up! Jiang Barium shouted.

"Yes, sir." The servant nodded, and immediately went down and brought the man.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the spy I just caught!" After Jiang Barium saw that the person was brought, he continued.

The people present seemed to have forgotten why they had come, and they all looked at this thin man who was tied up with five flowers wide open.

"Lord Jiang, isn't there no way to find someone to be a substitute for the dead ghost?" Li Mingtao didn't believe it, but when he looked at the comer, he had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Haha! Li Gong, do you know where this person was found? Jiang Barium didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.

"How do I know!" Li Mingtao didn't know why, so he responded nonchalantly.

"It's at Gong Li's residence! Come on, take down Li Mingtao! Jiang Barium angrily commanded, and then the officials rushed up and took Li Mingtao into custody.

"Let go of me, Jiang Barium, you are despicable and shameless! actually used this kind of indiscriminate way to wronged me Li! Do you think that your son's dead seed was planted on Li's head, and he can repeat the old tricks?! Li Mingtao was also angry, but the people around him had some intention of watching the play, and this play inevitably reversed too quickly!

"Hmph, Gong Li. Considering your safety, the government sent people to your residence to secretly protect you, who knew that just discovered a person sneaking into your house, these officials naturally arrested him. But I didn't expect to find this on him! Jiang Barium took out a golden token given to him by the officer, and the big word "Nan" on it shook people's eyes.

"You're lying!" Li Mingtao didn't believe it, this must be Jiang Barium's trick!

"Hmph, there is a judgment on the fairness of things. When the time comes, I will send you and this person to the city of Xiaocheng, and see if you still say anything! Jiang Barium has a sense of shame before the snow, and now he hates Li Mingtao even more.

"Why did you arrest me, maybe it's someone you sent?" Li Mingtao has gradually lost his mind, and things have not developed according to his expectations at all, but have deviated too far and too far.

"Good! The official will convince you. Someone, immediately search Li Mingtao's residence! Jiang Barium took the lead and went straight to the house where Li Mingtao was.

"Y-dare!" Li Mingtao was even more annoyed, today's shame made him unable to swallow it no matter what.

"This official is the parent official of Luoyang County, and for such a thing as a spy, this official will pay the black yarn hat and take care of it!" Li Mingtao can be a man, and Jiang Barium can also do it, and these words successfully pulled back the hearts of the people present.

When Jiang Barium and Li Mingtao and his entourage arrived at the place, there were more people around.

"My lord, find this." At this time, a servant found something in the baggage that Li Mingtao had placed on the bed.

"It seems that Li Gong is in a hurry to leave!" No wonder this point brings so many people to make trouble.

"You!" Li Mingtao couldn't argue, he had already put away his salute and was about to leave today.

"Hmph, come on, press Li Mingtao into the prison, and wait for the fate!" Jiang Barium suddenly ordered.

"Jiang barium!" Li Mingtao struggled to break free and yelled.

"Okay, I'll let you understand! See what you've found out of your baggage! Jiang Barium asked people to hand the thing to Li Mingtao, and showed it to the people around him by the way.

"What is this? I do not know! Li Mingtao shook his head vigorously, of course he knew what this was, this was Nansu's token, this token was different, he represented the will of that person, he only happened to see it once at Master Miao's.

"Don't know? Come on, bring Li Mingtao's entourage! Jiang Barium turned around.

"Adult, little one doesn't know anything!" As soon as the entourage came, he knelt in front of Jiang Barium and said while crying.

"When the official asked you, you answered carefully, and the official has his own discernment." Jiang Barium replied quietly.

"The adults ask, the little ones know everything! I know it all! The little guy kowtowed again and again, for fear that Jiang Barium would be unhappy and cut him off.

"The officer asks you, the gates of the city are closed. Why have you already packed your bags, could it be that someone is helping you out of the city? Jiang Barium reprimanded.

"Adults, I don't know what I know! The little one only knew that Li Mingtao asked the little one to pack up his things and prepare to go out of the city. That little guy didn't even insist on a breath and sold Li Mingtao cleanly.

"Okay, this official asks you again, who has been in contact with Li Mingtao recently?" Jiang Barium sent people to keep an eye on it but didn't find it.

"The little one only knows that he has seen a big man three days ago, and he doesn't know anything else. I really don't know! The little guy was about to cry and his snot and saliva were dripping out.

"Big shots?" Jiang Barium asked rhetorically.

"That day, Li Mingtao let the little one take the best tea, thinking that only the most powerful characters will have this." The little guy recalled.

"Come on, detain all the people around Li Mingtao, immediately search all the shops of the Li family in Luoyang County, and close all the stores!" Jiang Barium preached loudly.

Suddenly feel like there's been a lot of recent reversals?
