Chapter 50: True and False (II)

Liu Dong prostrate on the ground, buckle the heads of the officials, and introduced:

"Hello everyone, the little one is Liu Dong, a good citizen of Xinye County.

"A few days ago, on the order of the county lieutenant Lord Xu, I went to Nangeng County, Shangzhou, that is, Qiu County's hometown to investigate the situation.

"Through probing, the little one found a shocking thing!"

Oh?

Hearing Liu Dong's intention, the officials were surprised, but Qiu Yongnian on the chair was already sitting on pins and needles, extremely cramped.

"Tell me quickly," Cai Kun urged, "what did you find?" ”

"Xiao found out that about a year ago, Qiu County Ling had sent someone home to deliver a message, saying that he had taken up the county order in Xinye County, had purchased a property in the local area, and wanted to take his old mother and brother Qiu Yonglian's family to live in Xinye County and enjoy Qingfu.

"Then they took them away, and they haven't heard from them since......"

"What!?" Qiu Yongnian was shocked when he heard this, and got up from his chair and asked, "Where did you hear that?" When will I send someone to pick up my mother and brother? I...... I've never bought a property before, have I? ”

"Lord Qiu," Liu Dong hurriedly turned to Qiu Yongnian and replied, "The small sentence is true, I asked all the neighbors in the vicinity, and they all said the same. There are Liu Er, who buys soy sauce at the mouth of the alley, Guozipo who deep-fried fritters, and Aunt Qiu who sells needlework and thread......

"I also went in to see your family's old mansion, there is indeed no one in it, and it has been abandoned for a long time!"

"Huh?" Qiu Yongnian was shocked and lost his temper, and asked Liu Dong, "Where did they go?" ”

"Alright, don't pretend!" Xu Zun said coldly, "My Lord Qiu, how come you have never seen your family after you have been in office in Xinye County for so long, and you have never seen you return to your hometown?"

"If the road is far away, from Xinye to Nangeng, you don't need to hurry up for two or three days. It's so close, but you never go home to see, isn't it a little too impersonal? ”

"Yes, yes," Liu Dong said, "the little thief...... Oh bought a horse, and it only took one day and one night to rush to Nangeng City. ”

"My lord," Xu Zun turned to Cai Kun and the others, "Obviously, this gang of gangsters is ruthless, not only pretending to change the county order, imprisoning and killing Qiu Yongnian, but also exterminating the old mother and eldest brother's family of Qiu County Order, which is simply outrageous and extremely heinous!" ”

"This ......" Cai Kun frowned, although he was still hesitating, he still made a look at his guards.

The guards quietly walked behind Qiu Yongnian, sword in hand, ready to arrest him.

At the same time, the imperial historian Chen Taiji, the assassin Li Yan and the county guard Taimin were also silent, they were thinking about the various details of the case with their hearts, and they were staring at this Qiu Yongnian, who was difficult to distinguish between true and false.

"Well, why don't you tell you !?who you are?" Xu Zun asked with a glare.

"Humph! Needless to say? Who knows, this Qiu Yongnian thought very quickly, and immediately said, "My old mother and eldest brother's family must have been kidnapped by your gang of thieves!"

"This is all designed by you in advance in order to get rid of the crime, you are the ruthless villain, poor, poor my nephew is only five years old, you ...... You've lost your conscience, this official...... This official fought with you! ”

As he spoke, Qiu Yongnian clenched his fists in anger, wanting to pounce and fight with Xu Zun.

However, the guards of the Internal Guard Mansion had long been paying attention, and immediately rushed out two people and tied Qiu Yongnian's arms, making him unable to move.

"Alas," Xu Zun sighed and said, "It's ridiculous that I have worked with you for nearly a year, and I have always regarded you as my brother and idol, thinking that you are a good official who is honest and close to the people, and I am blind enough!"

Qiu Yong...... Oh no," he rephrased, "impostor, I advise you to stop dying and struggling, you are so clever, can't you still see that you have been manipulated by me?" ”

"Whew!" Who knows, Qiu Yongnian was still unconvinced, and continued to shout, "You have been talking for a long time, and there is no evidence at all!"

"You said that most of the day was slandered out of thin air, surnamed Xu, you said that I am not Qiu Yongnian, you may come up with convincing credentials?"

This......

All the officials looked at each other, feeling that this Qiu Yongnian was right, although Xu Zun obviously had the upper hand, but he never came up with real evidence.

If there is no real evidence, it is impossible to prove Qiu Yongnian's authenticity, then it means that the case is still a mess and cannot be sorted out.

"Impostor," Xu Zun tilted his head at Liu Dong, and then said to Qiu Yongnian, "Do you think that I finally sent someone to Nangeng to bring back a news that doesn't hurt or itch?" ”

When Xu Zun spoke, Liu Dong had already gotten up and ran to the entrance of the public hall to pick up the curtain and bring in several people from the outside.

These people, both men and women, were dressed as ordinary people, and some of them were dressed very simply.

"Impostor," Xu Zun raised the corners of his mouth and said, "I've already invited all your neighbors, now, how do I see you playing?" ”

Wow!

Seeing that Xu Zun actually invited Qiu Yongnian's neighbor to him, everyone was curious and leaned in on tiptoe to see if this Qiu Yongnian was real or fake?

"Go ahead! Go and take a look," Liu Dong pointed to this Qiu Yongnian and said, "Do you know him?" ”

Qiu Yongnian's neighbors were all ordinary citizens, and they had never seen such a big scene, and they were all trembling with fright, and they didn't dare to raise their heads.

"Alas, didn't you say yes, don't be afraid," Liu Dong comforted, "You just recognize people, tell the truth, and say anything." ”

Under Liu Dong's comfort, these people finally raised their heads and looked at Qiu Yongnian opposite.

Who knows, instead of retreating, this fake Qiu Yongnian straightened up, looking fearless.

"This ......," said one of the neighbors, hesitatingly, "looks, it looks a little like it!" ”

"No, I don't look like ......," said another, "I have a beard!" ”

"I think," one of the middle-aged men covered in oil suggested, "can you let Yongnian say a few words?" ”

"Hahaha, Uncle Chen, you really don't know me anymore?" Who knows, Qiu Yongnian suddenly stepped forward and said, "When I was a child, I was burned by the hot oil of your fried fritters, and you lost more than a dozen fried dough sticks from my family!"

"Later, I wrote your couplets every year, right?"

As he spoke, he raised his right hand and gestured to the burn marks on the tiger's mouth.

Yes?

Seeing this scene, Xu Zun sighed in his heart, he never imagined that this "Qiu Yongnian" could actually recognize the person he brought!?

This......

"Huh? Yes, yes, yes......" Hearing Qiu Yongnian say this, the middle-aged man nodded and admitted, "There is indeed such a thing, and listening to your voice, it should be Yongnian!" ”

"Aunt Zhang," Qiu Yongnian walked up to the group of neighbors and said to a woman, "You have cats, and I gave you all the names of the cats." ”

"Yes, yes, it's not bad at all," Aunt Zhang nodded, "Later, when a cat dies, you will cry very sadly......"

"Brother Niu," Qiu Yongnian said to the next one, "You have bullied me since I was a child, and you have traveled thousands of miles to Xinye County to join in the fun, aren't you afraid that I will retaliate against you?" ”

"Huh? No...... No, no, no...... That's not what I meant......" The man named Brother Niu was so frightened that he almost knelt down.

Next, Qiu Yongnian recognized several people one after another, and even successfully found out the person who Xu Zun inserted to stir up the situation.

"I don't know these people," Qiu Yongnian pointed to those people and said, "Could it be, you used them to test me, right?" ”

Grunt......

Xu Zun swallowed his saliva, he thought that he was already nine out of ten, and victory was in sight. Unexpectedly, Qiu Yongnian actually pulled back another game and slapped himself in the face!

In such a situation, although these neighbors were not completely sure of Qiu Yongnian's appearance, through Qiu Yongnian's confident performance, they did not dare to raise any more objections, and they all lowered their heads and did not dare to make a sound.

And at this moment, the officials led by Cai Kun are also in a deep fog, and they can't see through whether this Qiu Yongnian is real or not.

Syllable!

At the critical moment, Cai Kun slapped the shocked wood and said suddenly:

"Oh, are we all fools?

"Quick!" He pointed to the corpse of the Taoist priest and ordered, "Quickly open the white cloth so that they can recognize it......
