Chapter 488: Finally Exposed
Cui Yixiao was worried about not being able to catch someone because he had no clues, but now he has a clue, but not only is he not happy, but he is even more annoyed, because from the other party's actions, he feels a kind of humiliation of being despised.
"How dare you fool this official like this, good! Very good! ”
After Cui Yixiao lost his temper in the yamen, he immediately recruited his Jinyi guards, half of them went to Liu's house to investigate clues, and the other half went directly to the surrounding area to start a carpet search, digging three feet into the ground to catch the criminals.
Ji Qianli is still in Beijing at the moment, he planned to go to the west tomorrow, but he didn't expect that in the dead of night, two small flags under his command suddenly came to report and asked him to go to the yamen.
Only then did he know that this group of thieves had not gone far, and like Cui Yixiao, he also felt a kind of shame of being fooled.
He immediately changed into an official uniform and was about to go out, but he bumped into Pei Fang in a single dress in the courtyard, and the two were not husband and wife, so they naturally abided by the rules and slept in separate rooms.
"Brother Ji, are you going to the yamen?" Pei Fang was awakened by the movement outside, and she always felt a little unsteady in her heart, so she got up and asked.
Ji Qianli didn't think much about it, but said: "Last time, the comrades of those Qin prisoners appeared, in the land of Gyeonggi, and the boss asked me to go and get people, you can stay at home with peace of mind, and wait for me to come back." ”
"Brother Ji!" Pei Fang's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously said: "I, I'll go with you!" ”
"How can this be?"
Ji Qianli was stunned for a moment, and said funny: "I'm going to work, how can you follow, don't worry, I'll be fine." ”
"But ......" Pei Fang also knew that this was inappropriate, she opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to explain it.
"Okay, it's late at night, you go back to sleep, this matter has nothing to do with you, I'll take care of it."
Ji Qianli only thought she was worried and didn't care, but after taking two steps, she suddenly realized that something unusual was in her heart, those thieves were disciples of the Hengshan faction, and Pei Fang was also a disciple of the Hengshan faction.
His heart sank, turned around, held Pei Fang's shoulder, and asked softly, "You just said that you want to go with me, could it be that you know those people?" ”
Pei Fang's body trembled and did not answer, but this reaction was equivalent to giving an answer.
Ji Qianli's eyes gradually became solemn, this was really the worst situation, he hurriedly pulled Pei Fang to sit down in the courtyard, and said earnestly: "Listen to me, don't get involved here, do you know what crimes those people committed?" ”
Pei Fang bit his thin lip lightly and did not answer.
Ji Qianli sighed, and said aggravatedly: "The Nanshan Immortals are the people who His Majesty decreed to kill their heads, and those people helped the Nanshan Immortals to escape for their lives, this is called blindness, this is disobedience to the order, and it is also a capital crime to kill the head!" ”
Pei Bian's thin body trembled, and he raised his head, his eyes full of struggle and ...... Implore.
Ji Qianli couldn't bear it, but he still hardened his heart and said: "I can listen to you about anything else, but this is the only one...... When Hengshan sent you to abandon you like a piece of, why do you still have to think about them! ”
"I know ......" Pei Fang choked up: "I also have a grudge against the master, and I hate the head of the family for favoring one over the other, but they are my junior sisters after all, I watched them grow up, urged them to practice, they called me senior sister, and I also treated them as my own sister...... At this time, how can you be ruthless and not save you. ”
"Be sober!" Ji Qianli shook her shoulders and said heavily: "This is the capital, and the yamen of the Fusi of Beizhen is located here!" Have you ever thought that if you go at this time, not only will you not be able to help them, but you will take yourself! ”
"But I ......" of course Pei Fang knows this truth, but she just can't watch and do nothing, although she said before that she has nothing to do with the other party, but when something happened to the other party, her heart naturally softened.
“...... Well, this matter is up to me! ”
Ji Qianli closed his eyes tightly, and after struggling for a while, he said heavily: "Don't mess around, stay at home, I will find a way to do this." ”
Pei Fang looked at Ji Qianli blankly, and couldn't help but say again: "But, Brother Ji, wouldn't this affect you." ”
"Don't worry."
Ji Qianli hugged her into his arms and said softly: "You are good to stay at home, I will figure out how to deal with this matter, you will treat this matter as if you have full authority to me to deal with it, I promise you that I will do my best, so that no matter what the result is, you can also have a clear conscience." ”
"Brother Ji......" Pei Fang's hands gently wrapped around his body, leaned his head on his chest, and whispered: "You must come back safely." ”
"Okay."
The two hugged each other for a moment, and Ji Qianli let go of his hand, turned around and walked out of the courtyard, leaving Pei Fang in place, silently watching his figure disappear into the street.
On the other side, the Jinyi guard attacked in a big way, causing a lot of movement, and after a night, the capital became noisy again, and even the people in some places around became nervous.
These changes are not clear to Shi Suxue and the others, who have been staying in Jinshui Temple, but the little monk who is responsible for receiving pilgrims every day feels obvious.
He told the old abbot about it in private, and the master and apprentice couldn't help but be a little scared.
The little monk said worriedly: "Master, did you say that those three rangers are the people who the imperial court wants to arrest this time?" ”
The situation of these three people is exactly the same as the thief information released by the imperial court, and it appeared at this point in time, and it is really difficult not to doubt that they showed such hostility to the imperial court in front of the old abbot.
"Amitabha, this, how should this be good......"
The old abbot had a sad expression, he was a person who opened a temple to collect money for incense, and barely lived by the heat of Jinming Temple, where did he dare to have anything to do with these things.
The little monk rolled his eyes and said, "Master, according to the disciples, we might as well take the initiative to explain the situation to the government." ”
The old abbot's eyes lit up: "What do you mean, you can tell me in detail." ”
The little monk talked eloquently: "Master, look, if we take the initiative to invite someone from the yamen to investigate, if those three people are not fugitives, it's a big deal for you to apologize, but if these three people are really wanted to be arrested by the imperial court, then we can be regarded as innocent of ignorance, and the imperial court will reward us for our meritorious reporting." ”
"The apprentice has a point."
After listening to the words of the little monk, the old abbot decided to take the initiative to confess to the government, anyway, his relationship with the three Jianghu rangers was not very good, and he didn't care about offending them a little more.
So the old abbot let the little monk secretly go down the mountain to report to the official, the government got the news, and attached great importance to it, at this time except for the Liu family, there were no other clues, and suddenly someone came to report, they all thought that the three rangers who suddenly appeared were very suspicious.
This matter is not only that Shuntianfu sent an errand, but even Jinyiwei got the news and sent a team of people, who was led by Ji Qianli.
This is not that he is an unpredictable prophet, but that there is a relationship between Bian Guang, and he has always taken the first share of the eucalyptus and news in the yamen.
A group of Pegasus rushed to Jinshui Temple, and his subordinates asked if they wanted to send people to guard the various roads under the mountain, Ji Qianli's eyes flashed, and they rejected this proposal, and everyone went straight to the temple.
When he led people into Jinshui Temple, Shuang'er and Shi Suxue were helping to receive pilgrims, and when the two Xiaoqi saw them, they immediately shouted: "The thieves are really here!" Take them down quickly! Do not let them run away any more! ”
