Chapter 288: Killing Chickens and Monkeys, Intimidation!
"Humph! These people really ate the gall of the bear's heart and leopard, and dared to do such a thing! ”
Xiao Jingxuan's face turned blue with anger, and he slapped the booklet in his hand on the table with a "bang".
Zhang Biao raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Jingxuan's calm opening, "My lord is angry, there are a lot of people involved in this matter of squire students, if everyone is investigated and punished, I am afraid it will cause a lot of trouble." ”
"What? Do you think the officials will be afraid of these people? ”
Xiao Jingxuan's face was unhappy, and he gritted his teeth.
These people are really too hateful, some people are asking for their lives for the people when they get fame and become officials, but some people are just for their own selfish interests, and they use this to seek benefits!
Just these people with bad conduct, if they enter the court as officials in the future, they will definitely become big rats in the court!
When Zhang Biao heard this, he didn't answer.
It's not a matter of being afraid or not, it's a big matter, and if these people really join forces to make trouble, it will really be a big deal.
In an entire county, there are not a few people who have Xiucai or above the fame of Xiucai, and there are very few people who have not benefited from this matter at all.
If everyone is offended, it is better to give a chance to make the big thing small.
Xiao Jingxuan is angry, but he also knows that things like relying on affiliation to avoid taxes are basically inevitable.
These are basically everywhere, and the officials are all turning a blind eye, and if they really move, I am afraid that it is not as simple as a group of students and a group of showmen.
Thinking about it, Xiao Jingxuan calmed down and looked at the two booklets in his hand again.
After a while, he picked up the pen and circled the names of the two people on the booklet, closed the booklet and handed it back to Zhang Biao, "The two people on it, go investigate clearly and find evidence!" Do it carefully! ”
"Yes! My lord. ”
Zhang Biao took the booklet over, carefully glanced at the circled name on it, and knew it in his heart.
Xiao Jingxuan is afraid that he is planning to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys!
If you can't move these individuals directly, you will use a roundabout way.
Not only did he move these people, but he might be able to leave a good name for himself!
I have to say, this method is good.
After Zhang Biao went out, Xiao Jingxuan rubbed his eyebrows and summoned Lu Qing in.
"Your Excellency!"
Lu Qing stood respectfully in front of Xiao Jingxuan, arched his hand and asked, "What do you command?" ”
"Go and see if Ran Ran and Lao Wuke are back?" Xiao Jingxuan said.
Today is the fourth day that the head of the Jade family and his subordinates have been locked in the secret passage, and no matter how strong they are, they are afraid that they will not be able to resist it at this time.
Yes, Xiao Ni Tuanzi, Xiao Jingyao and Xiao Jinghan went to the secret passage early in the morning.
Lu Qing received the order, answered the call and respectfully retreated.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the county government, he saw Xiao Jingyao and Xiao Jinghan walking over here with Wu Tong and a few officials escorting more than a dozen people, while Xiao Milk Tuanzi followed them with an excited face, jumping up and down.
"Uncle Lu Qing, we're back~"
The little milk dumpling ran towards Lu Qing and said crisply.
Lu Qing looked at the faces of the detained people with large and small marks, as if they had been bitten by something, and the wounds were still bubbling with traces of blood, his eyes widened, and he looked at the little milk dumplings suspiciously, and asked, "......What are the injuries on their faces?"
"Rat-!" The little milk dumpling said.
As soon as she thought that when they went to the secret passage, as soon as she opened the secret passage, hundreds of rats rushed out of her, and her small body couldn't help but tremble.
"When are you going to release the rats?" Lu Qing was puzzled.
Over there, Xiao Jingyao and Xiao Jinghan looked proud, "Of course we put it!" ”
Although Xiao Jingyao is recuperating at home these days, where is he the kind of person who can sit still?
So he picked up Xiao Jinghan to catch mice.
What Xiao Jinghan is good at is the formation, using food to lure the rats into the formation, and then capture them.
In the past few days, they have caught hundreds of rats and thrown them into the secret passage.
Looking at the injuries on the Jade Family Master and those guards, you can know how sour they have been in that secret passage in the past few days.
When Lu Qing heard their words, the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously.
At this time, several stewards of the Cheng family's gambling house came with account books, and they happened to hear their conversation, and their bodies shivered inexplicably.
It's better to be gnawed by rats like this, and it's better to just tell them to die.
Xiao Jingyao and Xiao Jinghan saw the stewards at a glance in the crowd, the two glanced at each other and walked forward in unison, putting their hands on the shoulders of the steward who was the leader.
"Steward Cheng, do you know that person?" Xiao Jingyao pointed at the head of the jade family, shaking one of his legs and asked relaxedly.
Steward Cheng subconsciously swallowed his saliva, "No...... I don't know! ”
The man looked a little familiar, but where was there anything intact about his face at this time? In addition, he was extremely hungry, and the whole person looked weak and weak, and he couldn't recognize it at all.
"Tsk...... That used to be your Cheng family's in-laws, so you don't know each other? ”
Xiao Jinghan put one hand on his shoulder and said with a smile.
"Dear...... In-laws? ”
Steward Cheng was shocked, and suddenly remembered a human face in his mind, and his voice was trembling, "That...... Is that...... Jade ......"
"That's right, it's the head of the Jade family!" Xiao Jingyao replied.
Hearing this, Steward Cheng's heart was like an ice cellar, and he asked tremblingly, "What did he do?" ”
"He~"
Xiao Jingyao deliberately lengthened the end note, laughed at Steward Cheng, and then leaned into his ear and whispered: "He is a spy from another country, pretending to be the head of the Yu family and lurking in the Yu family!" ”
"He also uses sorcery! The old lady and the second lady of the jade were the ones who set fire to death before! ”
"Maybe the bones that were dug up in the secret passage some time ago have something to do with him! This is a big case, and anyone who is contaminated with half of the points will be robbed of their homes and exterminated their families! Of course, if someone reports that they are lost, they can give a grace! ”
Although Xiao Jingyao said this quietly, the few Cheng family stewards around him could hear it clearly, and when they talked about raiding the family and destroying the clan, their faces were all white.
"Cheng shopkeeper, speaking of which, this second lady of the jade family also used evil magic to frame the eldest son of the jade family, it is said that that thing was provided by your Cheng family, and your Cheng family should not ......"
When Xiao Jingyao said this, he deliberately paused, and looked at the shopkeeper with fixed eyes!
"No...... No, no! We are just a small steward, how can we know this? The steward said tremblingly.
"There is no best!" Xiao Jingyao smiled and patted Manager Cheng's shoulder.
Steward Cheng responded with a smile, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his head.
