Chapter 69 Locked
The people of Xiantao Town turned from the joy of the rain from the sky to deep fear, because a large number of officers and soldiers and Tsing Yi Wei arrived, surrounded Xiantao Town, and the young men who blocked the road also withdrew.
Rumors spread throughout the town in half a day, and everyone was terrified, saying everything, and even trying to flee, but was wounded and captured.
Jiang Cheng strolled through this quaint town, looking at the panicked expressions of the people, and some people looked at him with frightened expressions on their faces, not daring to look at him.
Jiang Cheng knew very well that the methods of those officials in handling cases, what kind of psychological warfare and the like, were all bullshit to them, and they were not as useful as the boards in their hands.
"Miss Xue, can you find a place to talk?"
Jiang Cheng came to the gate of the Zhou family's courtyard and said to Xue Qingqing.
"My lord, it's inconvenient for a lonely man and a widow, if you have anything to say here"
"It's okay, bothering your relatives to avoid it first"
"Good"
Xue Qingqing gave Uncle Zhong a look, and Uncle Zhong invited Zhou Mancang's family back to the room, and there were only two of them in the courtyard.
"Miss Xue is the immortal who cast the spell and did the rain last night."
"Qingqing can't understand what adults say"
"Do you know how I locked your identity?"
"My lord, is this a sin that you want to add?"
Xue Qingqing was shocked in his heart, but his face still turned cold quickly, pretending to be angry, thinking that Jiang Cheng was cheating him.
"Since I arrived in Qingzhou, I have been in the layout, and I suggested that I ask the immortals of the Immortal Pavilion to divide the rain into seven roads, and two days later, the seven-way immortals ran out of rain talismans, and I also suggested that the immortals spread the news to the outside world, saying that the rain talisman was not enough, in order to let you continue to shoot, but I didn't expect you to really shoot"
"My lord, if you want silver, you can say a number, although the Xue family is not very rich, but you can also honor your lord"
"I'm not for the silver, if it's for the silver, catch you, raid your house, I can get more"
"What is that grown-in for?"
"For You"
"Adult, please respect yourself"
"Don't get me wrong, women will only affect the speed at which I draw my sword, and I'm not interested in you yourself, what I care about is your immortal skills"
"My lord, why are you so entangled, I'm really not an immortal"
"It's not interesting to deny it now, three days ago we stopped in Shannan Town and stopped moving, you came to Xiantao Town yesterday, there were people in Xiantao Town who cast spells to make rain, and yesterday there were only seven families in Xiantao Town who had outsiders, all of them were visiting relatives, do you know why I only suspect you.
The reason is very simple, the other six families are the poorest families in Xiantao Town, only you, who have a net worth, can read and write, and the immortals must be literate, and you are the most suspicious."
Jiang Cheng replied, in fact, he couldn't be sure that it was Xue Qingqing, but Xue Qingqing was indeed the most suspicious, and Jiang Cheng was now deceiving her.
"My lord, my Xue family is a big clan in Qingzhou, if you want to frame me with these few words, then you are wrong"
"Miss Xue, I said that I have no malicious intentions, you definitely don't believe it, but please believe me, because you don't know how strict the imperial court's vigilance against wild immortals is, the immortals who asked the Immortal Pavilion have suggested that everyone in Xiantao Town be brought back to the yamen, tortured to extract confessions, and don't even mind slaughtering all of you, they would rather kill a thousand wrong people than let one go"
"What, how is it possible, they are from the imperial court"
"What's wrong with the people of the imperial court, the imperial court has never been soft on those who can threaten them"
"This..."
"The leader is the eldest princess today, she gave me a day, before the evening, if I can't find clues, I will arrest people, the people of the government are still coming one after another, and there will even be garrisons transferred over, who can't run away, even if you are an immortal, you can run away, and your Xue family will also have the disaster of annihilation"
Xue Qingqing's eyes suddenly turned red, and his resentful eyes stared at Jiang Cheng deadly, and even with a hint of panic.
"Okay, I admit it, I'm a wild fairy, I did what happened last night, adults arrest me and leave, but please let my family go"
In the end, Xue Qingqing admitted that she had no way to implicate her family, especially her mother, her grandfather's family, who loved her very much, and if these relatives died for her, she would go crazy.
"If you admit it, the government will not let your family go"
"You..."
"I'm telling you the truth, if I want to lie to you, I can coax you to arrest you first, there's no need to stimulate you"
"What the hell do you want?"
"Cooperate with me, I will keep you safe, and you will teach me your immortal arts when the time comes"
"You..."
Xue Qingqing was shocked by Jiang Cheng's series of words, she never thought that Jiang Cheng would ask for her immortal arts, doesn't this mean that Jiang Cheng is also a traitor to the imperial court?
Xue Qingqing was very hesitant, if he got on Jiang Cheng's thief ship, it would be difficult to get down, and it was not much different from being trapped in the imperial court.
"If I were you, I would agree, refuse, you will die now, the whole family is, if you agree, even if something happens in the future, you will have time to make arrangements, even if all the relatives can't send away, you can send a small part away"
"How can you get me through this?"
"Do you have a rain talisman on you?"
"No, the materials of the rain talisman are controlled by the imperial court, so I don't dare to buy it"
"That's a bit of a problem."
Jiang Cheng frowned, originally he wanted to use the rain talisman to lure Li Hongsleeve away, but there was no rain talisman, so what to do.
"My lord..."
"Wait and see what happens, wait for my news"
Jiang Cheng stood up and walked out of Zhou's house directly, and at the door, Jiang Cheng saw that Tsing Yi Wei was already searching door to door.
"Jiang Cheng, what are you doing?"
The eldest princess Li Hongsleeve appeared and glanced at Xue Qingqing behind the door.
"I heard that she is the daughter of the Cheongju Xue family, and she is in charge of the Cheongju Xue family's business, get to know her and make friends"
"Want to do business with her?"
"No, I want to marry her"
"Huh?"
"My Fair Lady, good gentleman, my dad doesn't understand anything, my eldest brother and I are not too young, and he won't tell us a family affair, let us be single"
"Yes, your dad is not reliable"
"Yes, the Xue family is rich, and if you marry her, you can work hard for 20 years, tsk"
"I didn't expect you to have this kind of thought, if you want to marry a rich wife, I can help you, there are so many Yongdu cities, why marry a country woman"
Li Hongsleeve laughed, she didn't mind Jiang Cheng having the idea of eating soft rice at all, as a superior, she was more afraid that her subordinates were the kind who had no desire and no desire, if there was no demand, it would be difficult to control, and with the desire for demand, she could handle it.
"Yongdu women have seen the world, too spicy, not easy to control, I still like to be honest, country women are very good"
Jiang Cheng replied, he didn't expect Li Hongsleeve to have the idea of regional discrimination, are all Yongdu women so noble?
"Don't talk about this, Jiang Cheng, have you found out who it is?"
"No, but we seem to have made a mistake, and we're too anxious"
"What do you mean?"
"In Cheongju City before, he heard about the case, and after this wild immortal shot before, an immortal immediately went to investigate, but there was no result, right?"
"Yes, the Shangguan master who tracked down, he was an immortal more than ten years ago, his mana is profound, not weaker than me, he discovered the existence of wild immortals in Qingyun County, and he went to track it down for the first time, but he couldn't find anyone"
"That's why we found out wrong, not surprisingly, this wild fairy is an extremely intelligent person, he wants to cast a spell in a certain place, it must be hiding in a place other than a certain place, it may be a village or town separated by twenty or thirty miles, and then sneak out in the middle of the night, and hide back immediately after casting the spell, this is called creating alibi evidence, no one will suspect him, and the people around him can also testify.
This time it is estimated that it is the same, although Ye Xian is casting the spell in Xiantao Town, he is actually hiding in the rest of the villages and towns, and after the spell is cast, he runs away, instead of hiding in Xiantao Town."
"So, aren't we startling the snake?"
Li Hongsleeve frowned, she felt that what Jiang Cheng said made sense, a few times before, when she asked the immortal pavilion immortal, she immediately rushed over as soon as she found someone casting a spell, and then searched nearby, but she couldn't find any suspects.
"It's us who are in a hurry"
"How to remedy"
"Release people first, don't arrest the people in Xiantao Town"
"Why"
"This is the remedy, if we arrest thousands of people in Xiantao Town, Yexian will know how firm our intention to arrest him is, this time we can arrest people from one town, and next time we can arrest people from two towns and three towns, then his previous methods will not work, and he will never dare to make another move."
Therefore, we have to show the enemy weakness, and use the inconvenience of disturbing the people as an excuse to withdraw the people and horses, so that the wild immortal feels that he can continue to hide with the previous means, and he may make a move, and when the time comes, we will block the dozens of miles around the place where the spell is cast as quickly as possible, and we will definitely be able to catch him."
"Will this work?"
"I'm not sure, I don't dare to pack tickets, but at present, these people in Xiantao Town are indeed innocent, if they are arrested, I am afraid that Qingzhou Taishou will also take the opportunity to attack our Tsing Yi Wei, and thousands of people have been arrested for no reason, the place will definitely not be peaceful, and our Tsing Yi Wei will be unlucky"
Jiang Cheng smiled bitterly, Qingzhou Taishou didn't dare to attack the immortals, but he still had the courage to tell Qingyiwei, and thousands of people were arrested, so wasn't the entire Qingzhou panicked?
"I'll solve it over there in Qingzhou Taishou, if I don't arrest people, I'm afraid the other immortals won't agree"
"Eldest princess, I still suggest that you release people, other immortals are just immortals, they are not royalty, but you are royalty, tossing the people, harming the interests of the royal family, if there are serious casualties, they resent the court, the saint and the royal family, and you are the one who bears the blame."
As a high-ranking person, he cares about the people, it is a beautiful talk, disturbing the people, and it is not advisable, and I can trust those officials to arrest them quickly."
"I'll think about it"
Li Hongsleeve was a little moved, she knew very well what would happen to the people of this town when they went to Qingzhou City, on the contrary, if these people could be prevented from suffering losses, they could indeed accumulate prestige, wasn't this what she needed.
