Chapter 144: Kowtow and beg for mercy

The moment Zhidi saw the box, his heart beat wildly, his legs went weak, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

Su Qinyan looked at the thick stack of silver tickets in the golden silk nanmu box, and his slender fingers tapped on the table for a moment.

Every time Su Qinyan clicked, it was like a knock on the prefect's heart, making him tremble.

The prefect climbed two steps forward and kept kowtowing to Su Qinyan and begging for mercy.

"Lord Qincha, what do you want to ask, I must know everything, I will say everything, please let my family go, I will confess all other sins."

"One thing I've always been curious about, after the disaster relief money at the post station was lost, why didn't you quickly find a scapegoat and end this matter as you did ten years ago, but kept waiting in the post station, what are you waiting for?"

As soon as these words came out, the prefect who was kneeling on the ground, his eyes kept turning and flashing, he weighed the pros and cons, and soon had a result in his heart.

Some things can be said, and some things can't be said even if they die, otherwise, he doesn't dare to imagine the consequences.

"I really don't know this, Liu Sanfu only said that he didn't want to return to Beijing as soon as possible to recover his life, and wanted to rest here for a while."

When Su Qinyan heard this, his words changed, "Do you really think that this place is far away from the high mountain road of Kyoto, and no one can cure you, right?" ”

After speaking, he pronounced the death sentence of the prefect, and after the autumn, all his family members were exiled, so he asked the official to put the prefect in prison, but he was held alone.

According to the prefect's account books, a number of moths were also cleared of the yamen.

Finally, I looked at the Yicheng and the boy standing in the hall.

Su Qinyan said to the young man: "Tomorrow I will issue an announcement to rehabilitate your father and give you another pension." ”

The young man lowered his head and said coldly, "I don't need it." ”

Su Qinyan was also silent, yes, how could this pension buy back two lives.

"Yicheng, from today onwards, you will be transferred to the yamen to be the master bookkeeper, and this kid will also come to the yamen to be a servant, you will take care of these more in the future."

Yi Cheng bowed deeply to Su Qinyan.

A hoarse and choked voice said: "Thank you for returning my brother's innocence, but this officialdom is too dark, so we won't be in troubled waters, thank you for your kindness, and say goodbye." ”

"On the night of the accident, you were the one who entered Liu Sanfu's room!"

"Yes, I wanted to kill him, but he happened to go out, and I discovered their secret."

"The first time you saw me, why didn't you tell me this."

"The world is as black as a crow, and there are a few people who are worthy of our lives to trust, don't end up complaining that it hasn't been done, and your life has not been saved."

After speaking, he turned around and left with the young man in a chic manner.

A few people were left silent in the lobby for a few moments.

Under the arrangement of the canon, several people came to the guest room in the backyard of the yamen to rest.

Several people came to a guest room, and soon a servant made them a pot of tea and brought it over.

Now they don't feel sleepy at all.

Although the silver was found, there was one thing that was not clarified, and that was the last thing to ask the prefect.

Why did they stay at the inn for so long?

This is waiting at the risk of killing the head, what kind of person is above, what kind of order is given, so that these people do not care about life and death.

After taking a sip of tea, He Lanyue stood up.

"Let me try."

Su Qinyan nodded, "Let Wen Chongming accompany you, the prison is dark and humid, you wear an extra piece of clothing." ”

He Lanyue nodded with some doubts, but she thought in her heart about when this cold person became such a mother-in-law.

Chu Xiaohe also left with them.

When the three of them came to the dungeon, they did not go to Liu Sanfu and Li Fugui, but deliberately came to the cell where the prefect was held.

When the prefect saw these people coming, he stood up vigilantly, "What do you want to do, you are guilty of the law in the prison cell." ”

"Don't be nervous, we're just here to have a chat with you."

"I've already said what I need to say, go back!"

"I shouldn't have said it, if you confess, we won't go to you to find your eldest child."

"How dare you?"

"You have done a lot of things that hurt nature, I don't think you have lived a very peaceful life over the years? Compared to this, what would I not dare? ”

"What do you want?"

"What the hell are you waiting for in the inn?"

"I really don't know, please let our family go!"

"In that case, then I'm welcome, I have a bottle of medicine here, and it's not very expensive, but after eating it, it will make people's bones soft, and don't want to stand up again for the rest of your life."

The prefect swallowed with difficulty and gritted his teeth, "You don't want to lie to me." ”

"Since you think this is fake, let's feed you in front of you!"

Soon the only son of the prefect was brought to this cell.

The two officials escorted him, and Helan Yue was about to pinch his mouth open, when Wen Chongming snatched the medicine bottle.

I opened it and smelled it, and my eyes suddenly lit up.

"Fourth sister, did you take the wrong medicine? This is a bone dispersion, and after drinking it, it will turn into a puddle of pus, do you still have it, give me a bottle. ”

"This is left to me by Brother Luo, and I don't have much, don't even think about it."

The prefect was so frightened that his hands trembled when he heard this, and his only son was even more frightened and incontinent, but the two of them didn't seem to see it at all, and they were chatting with themselves.

"It's a pity, it's better for me to give him a knife directly, isn't it more convenient, and this medicine can also be saved."

"We're going to leave at dawn, so you should move quickly and feed him the medicine."

The prefect finally couldn't help but plop down and knelt on the ground.

Seeing this, Helan Yue asked the official to escort the young man away.

The prefect then said: "I said, I will say everything, but I have one condition. ”

"You say."

"After I say it, you have to promise that my son must live."

Helan Yue couldn't help but look at Chu Xiaohe, she couldn't do this kind of thing.

Seeing Chu Xiaohe, he nodded at her.

That's when she promised the other party.

The prefect said: "We have all received a letter from the Zuo Xiangfu, no matter what, we will trap a student named He Mu who went to the capital to take the exam in the post station, so that he will miss next year's Spring Festival."

Originally, I had already prepared a murder case, ready to drag He Mu.

Liu Sanfu's arrival disrupted my plans, and when I learned that we had the same purpose, I didn't interfere in this matter anymore. ”

He Lanyue's eyes sank, but she didn't expect it to be someone from the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion again.

After getting the answer they wanted, they saw that there were still two hours before dawn, so they hurried to the guest room of the yamen to rest.

The next day, early in the morning.

Su Qinyan promised the young man a notice, and as soon as the sky was hazy, he asked the official to post it on the bulletin board at the entrance of the ya.
