Xi Yu said: "Do you have anything to hesitate about now? As long as you tell the truth, you can reunite with your family and live a peaceful life. If you don't say it, you'll have to spend the rest of your life in this prison. ”

The criminals suddenly saw that this secret guard came and went without a trace, and it seemed that this drama Yu really had some ability.

"I don't know who you are?" Finally one will ask.

Xi Yu told his true identity.

The criminals were finally moved by the joke, and they expressed their willingness to tell the truth. Xi Yu asks them to tell themselves everything they know, and then asks them to point out who is behind it.

Late at night, when everything was silent, the two brothers Chen Ping and Chen An were sleeping in their own home. They never imagined that their crimes had been discovered, and they had been surrounded and suppressed by secret guards and officials.

A group of black-clothed men and servants quietly infiltrated the residence of the two brothers, Chen Ping and Chen An.

They moved forward silently, without making a sound. The two brothers Chen Ping and Chen An in the room were still asleep, completely unaware of the danger coming.

The guards gently pushed the door open and quietly walked to the bed. They couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that the two brothers, Chen Ping and Chen An, were sleeping soundly.

The Dark Guards carefully lifted their bodies and led them out of the room.

The officials who were waiting outside the door were relieved to see that the two brothers Chen Ping and Chen An were taken out by the secret guards. They immediately stepped forward, tied up the two brothers, Chen Ping and Chen An, and then put them in the carriage.

The carriage galloped all the way and soon returned to the county office. Xi Yu was already waiting for their return at the county office.

When he saw the two brothers Chen Ping and Chen An being escorted out of the car, he couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in his heart.

The two brothers, Chen Ping and Chen An, woke up from their sleep, and they were very panicked when they saw that they were surrounded by a group of strangers. They don't know who these people are or why they're being arrested.

"Who are you? Why arrest us? Chen Ping asked.

"You are the two brothers Chen Ping and Chen An, right? You are suspected of a murder, and now we are going to take you back for interrogation. Xi Yu said.

When the two brothers Chen Ping and Chen An heard this, they were shocked. They didn't expect their crimes to be discovered so quickly.

In the middle of the night, everything was silent, and the two brothers Chen Ping and Chen An were imprisoned. Their faces were filled with fear and despair. They don't know how their crimes were discovered or what kind of punishment they face.

Xi Yu looked at the two people in front of him, and his heart was full of a sense of justice. He decided to get the punishment these two criminals deserve and get justice for the victims.

"Divide them up and don't give them any chance to communicate." Xi Yu said to the county order.

The county magistrate nodded, and he quickly understood what Xi Yu meant.

He knew that the two brothers would not confess their sins easily, so some means had to be taken to get them to confess as soon as possible.

The next day, the county magistrate came to the prison.

He first came to Chen Ping's cell and saw Chen Ping sitting in the corner, his head bowed, looking dejected.

"Chen Ping, your brother Chen An has already pleaded guilty, and he has put all the crimes on you. Is there anything else you can say now? The prefectural order said.

When Chen Ping heard this, he was shocked. He didn't expect Chen An to confess his guilt so quickly, and he put all the blame on him. His heart was filled with wrath and unwillingness.

"You and Chen An are brothers, there must be some ulterior secrets between you. If you don't confess your sins, don't even think about getting out of here. The prefectural order said.

When Chen Ping heard this, his heart became even more desperate. He knew that he was at a loss for words now, and it was useless to say anything.

"My lord, I confess that I am in charge of all this, and it has nothing to do with my brother." Chen Ping said.

When the county order was heard, I was overjoyed. He didn't expect Chen Ping to confess so quickly, so that he could save a lot of trouble.

"Well, now that you've pleaded guilty, that's easy. Now you write down all the crimes and draw them. The prefectural order said.

Chen Ping nodded, then picked up the pen and wrote down his crime. When he finished writing, he drew a charge on it.

The prefectural commander picked up the charge, looked at it, and then nodded with satisfaction. He said, "Okay, but don't think you'll be fine if you confess your guilt, you have to wait for trial." ”

Then, the county magistrate came to Chen An's cell again. He saw Chen An sitting on the bed, closing his mind.

"Chen An, your brother and eldest brother Chen Ping have already pleaded guilty, do you have anything else to say now?" The prefectural order said.

When Chen An heard this, he was also shocked. He didn't expect Chen Ping to confess so quickly.

After that, the county magistrate showed Chen Ping's painting book to Chen An.

"My lord, when my eldest brother first did this, I was not happy, but ......." Chen An said.

"Nothing, if you don't confess your sin, don't even think about getting out of here." The prefectural order said.

Chen An listened, and finally had to admit his guilt.

He also picked up a pen and wrote down his crimes. When he finished writing, he drew a charge on it.

The next day, the county magistrate brought the two brothers, Chen Ping and Chen An, to the lobby.

"Are you guilty?" The county magistrate asked sharply.

and told them that the two brothers confessed their sins to each other.

The two brothers were shocked, and then they realized that they had been fooled, and it turned out that the county order was cheating them yesterday.

The two brothers looked at each other, knowing that it was useless to regret it now, they had already confessed their sins after all.

"My lord, we pleaded guilty, some of the things we robbed of the rich businessman still exist somewhere, and we finally gave the address. But some of them have already been squandered by us, so it is impossible to recover all the losses. Chen Ping said.

The county magistrate nodded and said, "Since you have pleaded guilty, then you will be sentenced according to the law, and you will be imprisoned." ”

When the two brothers heard this, their faces turned pale, but they also knew that they deserved it.

Subsequently, the two brothers were taken to prison.

Waiting for the trial of the law.

The case was finally solved, and many wealthy businessmen were paid back part of their property. Although they can't get it all back, they are also a lot more relieved.

The point is that nothing like this will happen again in the future.

Qin wealthy businessmen were particularly happy, and specially called some wealthy businessmen to their homes to set up a banquet to entertain them, focusing on thanking Xi Yu for presiding over the overall situation for them.

At this moment, the county magistrate also learned about this incident, and he was very angry, thinking, why did he invite Xi Yu to the banquet instead of himself? I also have a credit for this.

Seeing this, the master hurriedly comforted the county order: "Don't be angry, adult, it's not worth it to be angry." ”

After listening to the master's words, the county commander felt a little more comfortable, but he still said a little unwillingly: "But Xi Yu is in a high position and power, but he is just an outsider, what qualifications does he have to get a banquet from rich businessmen?" ”

The master smiled and said, "My lord, although Xi Yu is an outsider, he did play a great role in this case. He is witty and intelligent, and helps the adults find the key clues, and finally succeeds in solving the case. It is only natural that the wealthy businessmen should thank him. ”

The county magistrate thought about it and felt that what the master said made sense, so he didn't care about it anymore.

At this time, the mansion of the wealthy merchants of Qin was lit up with lights, and it was a lively scene. Wealthy businessmen sat around the round table, laughing and laughing. Xi Yu sat on the main seat, smiling and listening to everyone's words.

"My lord, this time it's really thanks to you! If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to get our property back. Qin Fushang said gratefully.

Xi Yu waved his hand and said, "This is what this king should do." As a person with a sense of justice, it is natural to stand up when you see someone being treated unfairly. ”

When everyone heard this, they nodded their heads in praise.

At this time, a wealthy merchant said: "Your lord, you are not only witty, but also kind-hearted, what a rare talent!" ”

Xi Yu smiled and said, "It's over, this king just did his own thing." ”

As night fell, there was silence in the prison. Chen Ping sat alone in the corner of his cell, his eyes flickering. He secretly thought to himself that he could no longer sit still, and he must find a way to fight for a glimmer of life for himself.

At this time, a jailer came over and routinely checked the cell.

Chen Ping suddenly raised his head and said to the jailer: "Brother jailer, I have important clues to tell you, hoping to reduce my sentence." ”

When the jailer heard this, he suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly asked, "What clue?" Say it quickly! ”

Chen Ping sold the guanzi and said, "I can't say it now, I have to see the county magistrate." ”

The jailer hesitated, wondering if he was playing some tricks.

But if this clue is really important, and you don't report it in time, the consequences are unimaginable.

Thinking of this, the jailer nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tell the county magistrate the news." ”

Early the next morning, the county magistrate learned the news, and he also had some doubts in his heart. But in order not to miss any possible clues, he decided to meet Chen Ping in person.

The county magistrate came to the prison and met Chen Ping.

The county magistrate asked, "Chen Ping, I heard that you have important clues to tell the county?" ”

Chen Ping nodded and said, "Yes, my lord." However, this clue involves something sensitive, and I must tell you separately. ”

Thinking of this, the county magistrate nodded and said, "Okay, you all retreat." ”

As a result, many of the jailers retreated.

The prefectural magistrate said, "Now you can say it." ”

Chen Ping took a deep breath, and then said, "My lord, in fact, this clue is very simple. Just a few years ago, a good buddy of mine and I saw a beautiful girl in a remote village, so we violated her. As a result, the girl later became insane, and the girl's family reported the case, but it was never found. I now hope to give you this clue so that I can reduce my sentence. ”

When the county order was heard, his heart was shocked. He didn't expect Chen Ping to say such a thing, which made his impression of Chen Ping change a little.

Chen Ping also said the address and name of the companion.

The county magistrate said, "Okay, this clue you provided is very important. If we can find that person, we will be able to prove the guilt of your brothers and get justice for the victims. ”

Chen Ping said: "My lord, I have already told everything I know. I hope you can take it lightly and give me a chance to mend my ways. ”

The prefectural order said: "This is naturally possible. ”

Chen Ping nodded and said, "Thank you, sir." ”

The county magistrate said, "Okay, the county will arrange for someone to find that person." ”

At this time, Chen Ping said: "My lord, since the villain has provided clues, can you reduce the sentence of my younger brother Chen An?" ”

When the county order heard it, he frowned. He said: "Chen Ping, you don't have to make an inch. The clues you provide can only reduce your own sentence, not your brother's sentence. ”

Chen Ping said: "My lord, this is unfair to me. My brother and I committed a crime together, so why can't we commute our sentences together? ”

The county magistrate said: "Because you took the initiative to provide clues, and your brother did not." If your brother can also provide an important clue, I can also consider commuting his sentence. ”

Chen Ping said: "My lord, this is too unfair. My brother and I committed the crime together, so we should have our sentences commuted together. ”

The county decree said: "This is the law of the imperial court, not the county can decide." Don't ask for this again, or I'll disqualify you from a reduced sentence. ”

Chen Ping listened to it and knew that the county order would not give in. He sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, my lord, don't mention the villain." ”

Soon, the prefectural order left from here.

According to the clues provided by Chen Ping, he immediately began to investigate Chen Ping's companions.

Chen Ping's companion's name is Cao Wen.

The county order ordered Cao Wen to be arrested.

One day, the jailers came to Cao Wen's hometown, where Cao Wen was herding sheep at the door.

Cao Wen wore shabby clothes and wielded a whip, guarding the sheep.

"Are you Tao Wen?" Someone asked.

He suddenly saw a group of jailers walking towards him, and he was very surprised, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, what is the matter with me?" ”

One of the jailers replied, "The county magistrate has an order for us to come and arrest you." Come with us right now. ”

After hearing this, Cao Wen had a shocked expression on his face, and he couldn't believe what he had heard. He stammered, "What's this......?" Why is that? I've never broken the law, so why arrest me? ”

The jailer waved his hand impatiently and said, "We don't know the specific situation, but you will naturally know when you go back with us." ”

Cao Wen's father heard the movement outside and also ran out of the house. When he saw that the jailers were going to take his son away, he was very anxious, and hurriedly asked, "Lord, what's going on?" My son has never done anything illegal! ”

The jailers ignored Father Cao, and one of them said sharply: "The order of the county master, we are just acting on orders. Don't hinder irrelevant personnel, otherwise don't blame us for being polite! ”

Cao's father watched his son being taken away helplessly, and his heart was full of worry and helplessness.

On the top of the public hall, the county magistrate sat in the high hall, and the officials on both sides were lined up, and the atmosphere was solemn.

Cao Wen knelt under the hall and looked at the county master with an innocent expression. The county magistrate looked at Cao Wen and asked, "Cao Wen, have you ever done anything that lacks morality?" “

Cao Wen hurriedly shook his head, and replied in a firm voice: "My lord, the grass people have never done anything that lacks morality, please be aware of it." “

The county magistrate frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he gave Cao Wen a hint: "Do you remember what happened a few years ago?" “

After Cao Wen heard this, he was stunned, and he began to recall what happened a few years ago. Gradually, his face turned pale, and he seemed to understand what the county master was referring to.

The county magistrate looked at Cao Wen's expression and sneered: "Have you ever violated a girl?" Originally, no one knew about this matter, but Chen Ping committed a crime, and in order to reduce his guilt, he confessed to the matter. Now that the evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say? “

Cao Wen's eyes widened and he looked at the county master in disbelief. He never expected that Chen Ping would betray him.

Anger welled up in his heart, and Cao Wen cursed Chen Ping loudly in the public court: "Chen Ping, you despicable villain! Betrayed me for myself! “

The county magistrate patted the startled wood and signaled Cao Wen to be quiet. He said to Chen Ping: "Chen Ping, are you pying guilt?" “

Chen Ping lowered his head, not daring to meet the county master's gaze. He whispered, "My lord, I plead guilty. “

The county order asked the master to hand the charge to Chen Ping, and ordered: "Let's draw a charge." “

Chen Ping took the charge, picked up the pen with a trembling hand, and signed his name on the charge.

Xi Yu is still living in the Qin Mansion, but he is a little uneasy in his heart. He knew he had been here too long and it was time to leave. So, he found Qin Fushang and said to him, "Master Qin, thank you for your hospitality these days. I'll be leaving tomorrow, so please don't blame me. ”

Qin Fushang nodded and said, "The little one hopes that the adults will continue to stay here, but since the adults miss home, the little ones will not stay." Before you leave, though, there's one thing the little one wants to discuss with you. ”

Xi Yu looked at Qin Fushang and said, "Master Qin, please speak." ”

Qin Fushang hesitated for a moment, and then said, "King, why do you want to keep Cao Pi? He is always a thorn, it is better to get rid of it as soon as possible, so as not to have endless troubles in the future. ”

Xi Yu listened to Qin Fushang's words, and his heart was shocked.

He didn't expect the Qin Fu Chamber of Commerce to ask this question so directly. He was silent for a while, and then said, "Master Qin, this matter is a long story. Actually, I kept Cao Pi because I had my own plans. ”

Qin Fushang said, "Oh? I would like to hear about it. ”

Xi Yu said: "Cao Pi is not a useless person. I believe that if I give him a chance, he will be able to use it for me. ”

"The king has the king's concerns, the small one is too talkative, and the small one is a businessman, so it stands to reason that there is no need to worry about these things."

Qin Fushang didn't know what was going on, so he suddenly wanted to care about this issue, because Cao Pi was also living in his own house now.

Although he is not free, at least he has to find someone to take care of him, so he feels incomprehensible, and he really doesn't know why Xi Yu wants to keep such a person.

"You shouldn't say that, and if you can ask this question, it proves that you have this king as your own."

"Okay, King, it's not early, please rest early." (End of chapter)
