The owner of the Wulingjun Inn is proud because yesterday, he received a distinguished guest. A person like Jiang Xiaoshu, no matter where he goes, even if he is the most incompatible with him, is willing to treat him as a guest.

Jiang Xiaoshu is also very proud, because he is Jiang Xiaoshu himself. At this time, the innkeeper was looking around in front of the door, hoping to be the first to look forward to Jiang Xiaoshu's return, so that he could go up and chat a few words, and by the way, invite this distinguished guest to have a drink or chat together tonight.

Hearing the sound of footsteps at the end of the long street, the innkeeper suddenly moved, stretched his neck to look at it, and immediately laughed:

"Hello, Miss Yu." The person who came was Xiaoyu, and she nodded to the boss:

"Well, shopkeeper, you're good." Seeing the boss looking behind her, Xiao Yu couldn't help but be curious, turned her head to look, but there was nothing, so she couldn't help asking:

"What's wrong?" The boss smiled:

"Why didn't Jiang Gongzi join you?"

"The prefect is looking for him, he has gone to the mansion, and he should be back soon."

"Okay, then I'll wait here."

"Is there something wrong with the shopkeeper?"

"It's not important, but I just want to make friends with Jiang Gongzi and see how heroic he is." Listening to the shopkeeper's praise Jiang Xiaoshu, Xiaoyu couldn't help but be happy:

"You praise him as a hero, if he listens, he must be very happy."

"Yes, hahaha......" The innkeeper smiled heartily, and then changed the conversation:

"But it's not that I'm talking too much, there's something that Jiang Gongzi didn't do properly." Little Fish Wonders:

"What's the matter?" The innkeeper pointed at her:

"Jiang Gongzi went to run errands alone, but let such a fairy-like character as Miss Yu go back to the inn alone, wouldn't you be wronged?" Xiao Yu smiled:

"It turns out that you not only want to praise him, but also praise me, the shopkeeper's clever mouth, why worry about the business is not big." The innkeeper gave his hand again and again:

"Borrow your auspicious words haha, Miss Yu, you have to remember to say a few good words in front of Jiang Gongzi, yesterday when you were at the banquet, I happened to buy the goods, unfortunately missed it, tonight I want to do the east to invite you to dinner, tonight must appreciate the light." Xiaoyu nodded:

"Okay, I'll tell him when he gets back." With that, she was about to go upstairs, but was stopped by the innkeeper.

"Miss Yu."

"Huh?"

"I'll say one more thing - in my inn, can you still live in the habit?"

"Well, that's good, why do you ask?"

"The girl doesn't know, there are a few new guys, and they are careless, I always feel at ease, for fear that they will collide with the distinguished guests, but Miss Yu said that it is good, I think there is no more." Xiao Yu suddenly remembered the little guy who added night grass to the horses last night, so she smiled and said:

"Your fellow is very careful, not only did he do anything wrong, but he also went to the stable yesterday to add night grass......" Hearing her say what happened last night, the innkeeper was stunned for a moment:

"Tim Nightweed? Who is it? Wipe the table of the little sheet? Or the four babies who ran the hall? Or ......" Xiaoyu thought for a while:

"It's the one who was off during the day yesterday and came back in the afternoon, please thank the shopkeeper for me."

"Day off? Come back in the afternoon? The innkeeper was even more confused:

"We didn't have anyone on vacation yesterday...... Xiucai, Xiucai. ”

"Huh! Shopkeeper, what's wrong? At the counter, the bookkeeper who was reading a book agreed repeatedly.

"Did anyone take a day off yesterday?"

"Vacation? No. The bookkeeper said categorically, and then he opened another booklet, squinted his eyes and searched for a moment, then held up the booklet, pointed to it, and said:

"Full attendance, no one takes a vacation."

"You continue to be busy," the shopkeeper turned his head and smiled at Xiao Yu:

"Miss Yu, is there a mistake?" Xiao Yu frowned:

"No way, that's what the guy really said......"

"The government is handling the case! Idle people, etc., immediately disperse! Suddenly there was a shout outside the door, followed by a messy footsteps, Xiaoyu's words were interrupted, the innkeeper heard that the people from the government were coming, he was taken aback, and quickly stretched out his head to look, but saw more than ten officials, holding shackles and iron rulers, knives, guns and sticks, straight to the inn.

"Official! Official! What's the matter...... innkeeper rushed to the leading officer:

"Official, the villain's tax is not paid less, he has always obeyed the law, and even the man's salary is thirty percent more than that of other families, he is a great good citizen...... Are you mistaken? The leading officer pointed with his hand:

"It's none of your business, silence." Then the leading official looked at Xiaoyu:

"Are you Yu Xiaozhi?" Xiaoyu was also stunned by this battle, and when she heard the other party ask, she bowed:

"The folk girl is Yu Xiaozhi, I don't know ...... adults"

"Go to the stables at once, and identify the carriage in which you are riding." The leading official interrupted Yu Xiaozhi, and then waved his hand:

"Let's go."

"Yes!" The rest of the officials responded in unison, and at the same time rushed to the courtyard. The incident happened in a hurry, and Xiao Yu was completely stupid, and he didn't know what was going on, until the leading official said something coldly

"Let's go", she answered, and led the way to the stable in the front yard in a daze. When I arrived at the backyard, the stables had been surrounded by the officials, and there were a total of five horses in the entire stable, three of which belonged to other guests, and the carts drawn by the two tall horses were naturally Jiang Xiaoshu and his party.

"This one?" The leading official pointed a finger, and when he saw Xiao Yu nodding, he strode forward, opened the curtain of the car, only glanced at it, then smiled coldly, and then ordered:

"Bring the evidence back to the yamen." The officials immediately took action, opening the stables and opening the stables, opening the courtyard gates, and clearing the roads, and the leaders of the officials jumped into the cart and raised their hands to wave the reins.

Xiaoyu finally reacted, and quickly reached out to stop it:

"Your Excellency, you say this is evidence? What's going on? What's going on? What about Jiang Gongzi? ”

"There is no comment, the verdict of the government shall prevail." After that, the leading official snapped the reins, and the two horses neighed, and rushed out, and the little fish was startled, screamed and quickly jumped away, so that he was not hit.

Looking at the dusty carriage, Xiao Yu simply had countless questions in his heart, each of which was enough to take out and talk for a long time, and these questions converged in one place and became the most simple and simple question - what happened?

At this time, a voice came from behind him:

"Little Fish Girl, what's wrong?" But it turned out to be Sheng Yu Ash, who was originally meditating and practicing, but suddenly heard the cry of the little fish, and immediately came out to check.

When Xiao Yu saw his companion, he hurriedly said:

"Just now, the people from the government came and drove our cart away, and said, what kind of evidence is it......" Sheng Yuyan lowered his body, looked at the rut marks in front of him, and asked:

"This is what our cart left behind?"

"Hmm."

"Something happened, I'll go to the government. You bring Jinwei and Xiaolan over immediately. Sheng Yu Ember Huo Ran got up and strode towards the mansion.

Xiao Yu's heart was pounding, and she couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in her heart, she hurriedly went upstairs, handed over Wang Lan and the others, and the three of them went to the mansion together.

………… As soon as Jiang Xiaoshu arrived at the mansion before, he was asked by Zhou Zide:

"Jiang Xiaoshu, can you be guilty?" Jiang Xiaoshu was naturally like falling clouds, and immediately said:

"Me? Guilty? Zhou Zide's eyes are sensen:

"You colluded with the Jiangyue Gang in Zhijiang to loot people's wealth, and you forcibly seized and blackmailed traders in my Wuling County, the evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say!" Jiang Xiaoshu's eyes widened:

"What?" Zhou Zide asked:

"Do you have 50,000 taels of silver tickets in your arms, plus a few shops in Zhijiang Tian?" Jiang Xiaoshu nodded:

"Yes, so what?" This time it was Zhou Zide's turn to be stunned, and then he said sharply:

"Humph! Dare you admit it, that couldn't be better......"

"Is it difficult to admit that the Jiang Yue Gang is suing for peace with me? This ......," Jiang Xiaoshu couldn't help but wonder.

"Nonsense!" Zhou Zide interrupted Jiang Xiaoshu, then picked up a notice and threw it down:

"See for yourself!" Jiang Xiaoshu looked at the notice, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart - the content of the notice was very short, which roughly meant that the chief shopkeeper of Zhijiang Wanqin Qianzhuang looted the people's fat and people's cream, forcibly occupied shops, mansions, and some good land, and at the same time hid 50,000 taels of stolen money, the evidence was conclusive, and a reward was ordered to be wanted.

In addition, the stolen goods have been secretly transferred to the same party, and as soon as the stolen goods are circulated in the world, the users will be arrested immediately.

There is also a line of small print below, which is the information on the silver ticket number and the title deed......

"Jiang Xiaoshu!" Zhou Zide's voice came:

"I thought you were a loyal and righteous person, came to my Xiangzhou to clean up the troubles, and admired you before, who knew that you were upright on the surface, but in fact you were secretly evil, colluding with profiteers, harming the people, and daring to come to me to pretend and behave, it is really shameless! Why don't you get caught? ”

"Master Zhou, you and I think you have misunderstood." Jiang Xiaoshu hurriedly explained:

"Jiang Yue's gang begged me for peace, this is a gift for them to make amends, I have never seen the chief shopkeeper, so why talk about colluding with him?" Zhou Zide said:

"Who will believe what you say? If you are really above board, then take out the title deed of the silver ticket and compare it with the proclamation one by one, to see if I have wronged you. ”

"Of course, the title deed of the silver ticket is right." Jiang Xiaoshu said:

"But I said, this is Jiang Yue's help, they gave me the stolen goods, did I become their accomplice? There is no such reason in this world. ”

"Okay, then tell me, who gave it to you?"

"That person should be a subordinate of Wu Gongzi of the Jiang Yue Gang, he gave me these things, hoping that I will accept the Jiang Yue Gang's request for peace......"

"What's his name?"

"His real name is unknown, and he calls himself Ah Hai."

"Ah Hai, what a Ah Hai! Jiang Xiaoshu, look at the second line of this notice! Zhou Zide raised his voice.

Jiang Xiaoshu looked down and saw a portrait of Ah Hai in the same party, and the notice said that his name was Zheng Ronghai and he was the second-in-command of Wanqin Qianzhuang.

"Identities can be faked, but the truth can't be faked," Jiang Xiaoshu said.

"I'm willing to confront Ah Hai."

"Confronted? You're going to confront him? Zhou Zide asked rhetorically. Jiang Xiaoshu nodded:

"I have a clear conscience."

"Of course you have a clear conscience!" Zhou Zide said in a shocking voice:

"Zheng Ronghai is dead, died the day before yesterday, that is, the day you left Zhijiang! The blade of the sword sealed his throat, and an autopsy showed that he died at the hands of a man who was more than eight feet long, and had high skill in light skills, and was good at using a long sword...... That person is you! You killed Zheng Ronghai, but now you have a clear conscience, because you knew that he would never be able to confront you. "Dead?

Jiang Xiaoshu's pupils shrank, and then he immediately shook his head:

"I didn't kill him, and I have no reason to kill him." Zhou Zide said:

"As soon as Zheng Ronghai dies, you can keep all the stolen money for yourself and get away with it, isn't this reason enough?" Jiang Xiaoshu couldn't help but be annoyed in his heart, and said loudly:

"Lord Zhou, you keep saying that I am collecting money, but if I am really a person who is greedy for money, why should I come all the way to Wuling County and be a powerful man in Zhijiang alone, isn't it more reasonable?" Zhou Zide said:

"Well said! Why did you come to Wuling County? Naturally, it's because Zhijiang is too small to satisfy your appetite, so I came to Wuling County to make waves! Jiang Xiaoshu sank his face:

"Lord Zhou, there is no evidence, why did you wronged me so much? Constantly imposing trumped-up sins on my head? Zhou Zide was so angry that his beard trembled:

"Unnecessary? What a no-brainer. If it weren't for the good deeds you did last night, how could I be so sure? Jiang Xiaoshu said:

"Last night?"

"Where did you go after drinking last night?"

"I, I went for a walk on the outskirts of the city with Xiaoyu."

"Take a walk in the middle of the night, who believes this?"

"Is it illegal to walk in the middle of the night?"

"It's not illegal to go to the outskirts of the city in the middle of the night to do anything," Zhou Zide said angrily:

"But you didn't go to the outskirts of the city at all last night, but went around the city, blackmailing businessmen and stealing official silver!"

"Blackmail businessmen, steal official silver?" Jiang Xiaoshu's eyes widened:

"! You come as soon as you open your mouth, do you have any proof? ”

"Do you dare to say that there is no evidence? The gold and silver you extorted, along with the official silver of the government, were hidden in the inn by you, and you didn't have time to transfer them, yes or no? ”

"I didn't do it."

"The gold and silver treasures should not be in your room, but you put them in the cart at night! You want to follow the cover of the curtain and escape in a grand manner, but unfortunately, Skynet is magnificent and negligent, since you have done something wrong, don't think that you can retreat with your whole body......" Hearing Zhou Zide, the more angry he became, Jiang Xiaoshu was silent, and after a moment of silence, he said:

"I saw the big car last night, there is no problem, if you don't believe it, you can search it."

"Then it will be done to you, right and right!"

"In!" The officials answered.

"Immediately go to the inn car, drive directly to the mansion, and inspect it in public!" The officials went, Zhou Zide snorted, and he didn't speak, Jiang Xiaoshu stood in place, shocked and angry in his heart.

He knew that he had never done those things, but now that the situation has evolved to this point, there are only two possibilities left - first, Zhou Zide has a problem and is framing himself.

Second, he was framed. Soon after, the sound of wheels sounded, the door of the government was wide open, and his big car drove in.

Jiang Xiaoshu was taken aback - the boxes that originally contained local products were all stuffed with gold, silver, jewelry, agate and jade, and the curtain was just a corner of the car, and the jewels were so bright that people couldn't open their eyes.

Zhou Zide smiled coldly, turned his head and said:

"Jiang Xiaoshu, what do you say?" Jiang Xiaoshu clenched his fists, and before he could answer, he heard a commotion outside the door, and a group of people gathered around the door, thinking that it was the onlookers, and several of them opened the crowd and walked in with a bitter face.

Jiang Xiaoshu naturally recognized them, it was the businessman who attended the banquet together yesterday, and he hurriedly said to the shopkeeper of the blacksmith:

"Shopkeeper Sun, you testify for me." Blacksmith Sun glanced at Jiang Xiaoshu with a strange expression, and then turned to Zhou Zide and said:

"Hui Yu, in the early hours of yesterday morning, someone came to see the villain with Jiang Gongzi's wine gourd, saying that Jiang Gongzi wanted to fight wine......" Jiang Xiaoshu was startled, and looked down at his waist - where is my wine gourd!

I only heard Blacksmith Sun continue:

"I made a good wine, but the man said that I didn't go to the Tao, saying that Jiang Gongzi swept away the Jiang Yue Gang, shouldn't you mean it, and then he half grabbed it and half took it, and took away all my hundreds of taels of silver......" Then Blacksmith Sun turned his head to look at Jiang Xiaoshu:

"Jiang Gongzi, I thought you were ...... Alas, don't say it, the villain just begs you to pay some back, even if it turns out that when Jiang Yue's gang is there, he only takes one percent, you take it all, this, how can the villain live......" Then he whined and cried, and several other businessmen spoke, and their experiences were similar to him-someone took Jiang Xiaoshu's token to extort money, and he was afraid of Jiang Xiaoshu's revenge, so he had to pay for it.

Zhou Zide pointed to Jiang Xiaoshu's waist:

"You're looking for a wine gourd, aren't you?" Jiang Xiaoshu raised his head violently, only to see the first official step forward and present Zhou Zide with a thing, which was his own wine gourd.

"This morning, the official inspected the treasury and found that there was an inexplicable lack of five thousand taels of silver, searched everywhere, and finally found this thing on the roof of the treasury, what else do you say?" Jiang Xiaoshu shook his head in surprise:

"No, it's not me! This, this box is obviously filled with local products - the first basket was given to me by a vendor selling rice noodles in the west of the city, and it was previously filled with flower cloth, silk and wine, and the second box was given by a woman, which was preserved fish and bacon...... "Listening to him talk endlessly for a long time, he explained the origin of each box clearly, but Zhou Zide's face became more and more gloomy, and after Jiang Xiaoshu finished speaking, he was shocked:

"What a clever man! It's a shame that you can make up so much in such a short time! If it weren't for the official in charge of the household registration of Wuling County, most of them would have been deceived by you and told you that there are more than 470 shops in the west of the city, but none of them are buying rice noodles! Jiang Xiaoshu's face changed drastically, and he finally understood what kind of situation he was facing—since he entered Wuling County, he had stepped into a huge trap.

"Jiang Xiaoshu, what's going on?" At this time, a low voice came from outside the door, but it was Sheng Yu Ash.

Before Jiang Xiaoshu could speak, he heard Zhou Zide say sharply:

"Tie up the prisoner!" The officials shouted, and they were about to step forward to tie Jiang Xiaoshu, Sheng Yuyan was suddenly startled and shouted:

"Stop!" This sound was like a thunderbolt, and everyone present couldn't help but jump in their hearts. Zhou Zide patted the case:

"Sheng Yu Ash, you dare to obstruct the imperial court in handling the case?" Sheng Yu Ember hold down the hilt:

"What crime did he commit?" Zhou Zi scored without conceiving:

"Looting people's property, forcibly plundering, extorting traders, and stealing official silver." Sheng Yu Ember shook his head:

"He was wronged." Zhou Zide was furious:

"There are all human and material evidence, why do you say that you are wronged?" Sheng Yu Ember didn't speak, but looked at Jiang Xiaoshu.

Jiang Xiaoshu hung his head and said in a deep voice:

"How is Lord Zhou going to condemn me?" Zhou Zide stood up suddenly:

"You have a grudge against the Jiang Yue Gang, send you to the Metropolitan Inspectorate Division, you say that I deliberately framed you!" Then only to hear a snap, Zhou Zide took out a big seal from his bosom and slapped it on the table:

"This is my prefect's official seal! Jiang Xiaoshu, I know that you have a special identity, and I can't judge you. But you do such evil things, than the Jiangyue Gang in the past, this official with the official seal to death, Wuling County Government with this seal to escort you to the capital for trial, by the saint personally ruling, if the saint sentences you not guilty, don't say that you take off this official robe and degrade to the common people, that is, I want someone in Zhou to be on the head, and you can go! "According to the law of the Great Qin, if the official behaves badly and the subordinates have no way to appeal, they can put on the official seal and complain directly to the emperor, and after the emperor hears the case, he will join the criminal department, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to thoroughly investigate the facts, and if the official is guilty, he will be sentenced according to law and severely punished.

If it is confirmed that it is a false accusation by a subordinate, it can be punished according to the law. This is what it is

"Dead admonition". Since the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty, for more than 300 years, there have been only a few dozens of cases of death, and every time there is a death, there will be a lawless eunuch who dies, and the most powerful one even beheaded a vassal king.

Now, Zhou Zide admonished Jiang Xiaoshu to death, and it seems that he is angry to the extreme, and he will not die. As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent.

Sheng Yuyan had also heard the allusion of the death admonition, and he frowned and said:

"Do you want to give up your life to frame him?"

"Hahahaha......" Zhou Zide laughed, and then asked loudly:

"I don't even want my life, what's the benefit of framing him?" This sentence was really deafening, and when everyone heard it, they all admired it in their hearts, and they were moved by Zhou Zicheng's courage.

Sheng Yuyan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Jiang Xiaoshu raising his hand, he sighed and said loudly:

"It's useless to talk too much, tie me up and go to Beijing to face the saint." The officials immediately tied up Jiang Xiaoshu, and after a while, there was a sound outside the door, and a prisoner cart had been transported.

Jiang Xiaoshu was escorted to the prisoner car, Sheng Yushen held the handle of the knife and gave him a look. Do you want to do it?

Jiang Xiaoshu smiled softly, and then said to Sheng Yuyan:

"You should go back and have some wine and get some good sleep." Sheng Yu Ember nodded, then squeezed through the crowd and left silently.

"Immediately escort the prisoner Jiang Xiaoshu to Beijing, strictly guard him on the way, and kill anyone who comes close!" Zhou Zide gave a death order, and then personally took out two Dingqin divine crossbows and handed them over to the escorting officials.

Across the prisoner car, he stuffed the official seal into Jiang Xiaoshu's arms:

"In front of the Jiang Yue Gang, I have compromised, this time, I will never bow my head, I must let justice and conscience be served!" Jiang Xiaoshu was silent and closed his eyes.

The "boom ......" prisoner car drove out of the government office and headed north. ………… On the way back from Sheng Yushen, he met Wang Jinwei and the Xiaoyu sisters who came over.

"Where's the laughing book?" Xiaoyu asked anxiously.

"I was arrested and sent to the capital." Sheng Yu Ember replied.

"Send to the capital!" Wang Jinwei on the side was suddenly taken aback:

"What's going on?"

"Zhou Zide said that he forcibly plundered, looted people's property, extorted traders, and stole official silver ......"

"Impossible!" Wang Jinwei shouted:

"Jiang Gongzi is definitely not such a person." The small fish grabbed Sheng Yu Ash:

"Sheng Gongzi, he, he was wronged." Sheng Yu Ember nodded:

"I know this better than you, I saw him enter the room last night."

"So, what now?" Wang Jinwei hurriedly asked. Sheng Yu Ember thought for a moment:

"Drink some wine and get a good night's sleep." Then he turned and walked towards the inn. Little Fish was shocked:

"How can you sleep at this moment, this ...... Prince Wang? Wang Jinwei gently pulled her:

"This is the code words of Jiang Gongzi and Sheng Gongzi, Sheng Gongzi never drinks, Jiang Gongzi said this, which means that he already has an idea in his heart." Little Fish Joy:

"Idea, what?" Wang Jinwei smiled bitterly:

"Jiang Gongzi's idea, no one guessed it." Xiao Yu nodded, and the two of them followed Sheng Yu Ember away.

Xiao Lan, who was sitting on Wang Jinwei's shoulder, turned her head and looked at the noisy mansion, and couldn't help but feel a little confused - the annoying Jiang Xiaoshu left, why wasn't she as happy as she imagined, but on the contrary, she was a little scared?
