Chapter 197: Murderous Intent
And judging from the current situation, they and Mo Xiuran can be regarded as having a bad relationship.
This Mo Xiuran looks promising, and now he has such a ability at the age of eight, if he is given a few more years, then he may climb to what kind of point? It would not be good to deal with them the other way around.
So the best thing to do is to start early.
If he doesn't really have the ability to eradicate him now, it can be regarded as a big disaster for the future.
Moreover, he said that he let Qi San do it himself, and he himself did not get involved, even if the matter was exposed later, it would not have any impact on him.
Just when he was happily fantasizing about what would happen after killing Mo Xiuran, he suddenly saw the housekeeper Uncle Wang running in in a hurry.
Seeing Uncle Wang's hurried appearance, Wang Xiancheng frowned a little unhappily and said:
"What are you doing in such a hurry?"
Seeing that his master didn't care, Uncle Wang hurriedly said:
"The lord is not good, there are a few officials in the front yard, saying that the adults asked you to go to the county office, saying that they want to solve a case with you."
Hearing what the housekeeper said, Wang Xiancheng pursed his lips, and said with a little displeasure: "I thought it was something, it was just to solve a case, what are you doing in such a hurry." ”
But when Uncle Wang heard his master say this, he hurriedly shook his head and said:
"Master, this matter is not simple, just now the news from our people said that Qi San's murder was exposed, and he did not succeed in killing, and he was caught in the yamen, and now he is being interrogated, maybe he has told you, master, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
Hearing Uncle Wang say this, Wang Xiancheng patted the table and stood up in disbelief:
"What do you say? That waste actually failed? ”
Anger welled up in Wang Xiancheng's eyes.
He wasn't worried about whether he would be held accountable by the county order, anyway, he had already prepared in advance when he was doing this, even if Qi San confessed himself, he would have a way to shirk his responsibility.
But what made him angry was that Qi San's waste didn't succeed, it was just to solve a child, and at most a woman, he couldn't even do this thing.
Wang Xiancheng slapped the table angrily, gritted his teeth and said:
"It's just a piece of rubbish, if I had known he was such a waste, I wouldn't have left this matter to him."
Listening to his master's angry voice, Uncle Wang trembled with fright on the side.
just thought that a few officials were still waiting for him, so he hurriedly said:
"Master, I think you should think about how to explain this matter to the county magistrate first, after all, ...... After all, Qi San has already confessed to you, what if the adults suspect you? ”
Hearing him say this, Wang Xiancheng also frowned.
That's right, he didn't worry that he would be held accountable, but if the county magistrate really had doubts about himself, then it would be inconvenient for him to do something later.
Thinking of this, I felt a little irritable, and after frowning, I snorted coldly and said: "Forget it, since that's the case, then I'll go in person, I want to see how this Qi San framed this official." ”
As he spoke, he stroked his sleeves and got up and walked out.
And seeing that his master was so calm and light, Uncle Wang finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the other party should be successful now, so he was no longer so worried.
The palace is not far from the Yamen.
So after a while, Wang Xiancheng had already arrived in the county office.
After Wang Xiancheng went in and saluted the county commander, he said with some surprise in his tone:
"My lord, what did you call me over today?"
After speaking, he looked at the people below, and said with a puzzled expression: "I don't know what kind of case this is encountering, but it is so late that you are still bothering your lord to deal with things in the yamen." ”
Meng Lianyi saw Wang Xiancheng looking like he didn't know what was going on, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked him up and down.
Seeing that he was still unmoved, he couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth and chuckled.
If you didn't know what the other party did before, I'm afraid you would really think that the other party was innocent.
And the county magistrate also glanced at Wang Xiancheng up and down, and saw that Wang Xiancheng looked innocent, so he looked away, pointed to Qi San at the bottom and said:
"This Qi San just said that he was instigated by you to block the road and try to kill Mo Xiuran, and I called you over today to let you prove yourself, so as not to be slandered by such people."
Hearing him say this, Wang Xiancheng's face turned slightly cold.
If the prefectural order really believes in himself, he doesn't need to prove it himself, and in the end, he still doubts himself.
Thinking of this, his face was also a little bad.
After glancing at Qi San coldly, he said, "My lord, who is this person, I have never seen him, why should I instigate him to kill others?" ”
After saying that, he glanced in the direction of Mo Xiuran again, and then said with a puzzled expression:
"Besides, I have no grudge against this boy, so why should I send someone to kill him? It's just an eight-year-old child, where did I get so much hatred, and it's too much for this person to slander me like this. ”
When Qi San heard Wang Xiancheng say this, he suddenly became anxious.
Obviously, it was Wang Xiancheng who instigated him, why did he not admit it.
Qi San's face turned ugly all of a sudden, and he quickly shook his head, and said with a anxious expression:
"Wang Xiancheng, you forgot that you told me that the reason why Mo Xiuran was admitted to the county exam was because his mother bribed the examiner, if you didn't say this, how could I kill him because I was unwilling, you can't help but admit it."
Hearing Qi San say this, Wang Xiancheng said coldly: "Presumptuous, I'm still standing here, you dare to climb on me, it can be seen that his mind is vicious, and since you said that I instigated you, then I want to ask if I had a relationship with you before this, otherwise why would I instigate you to be a down-and-out student?" ”
As he spoke, he looked at Qi San, with a mocking look in his eyes.
And the people around who watched the excitement also nodded in agreement.
Wang Xiancheng is also a county Cheng no matter how he says it, but Qi San is just a down-and-out scholar who has not passed the exam for many years, how can he get in touch with the county Cheng?
It seems that they wronged Wang Xiancheng.
It must be Qi San who wants to bite others at will after seeing his affairs exposed.
So, they all looked at Qi San with disdain.
Qi San didn't expect things to develop to such a scene, and he was a little at a loss for a while.
He never thought that Wang Xiancheng would actually go back on his word and not admit what he said before.
