Chapter 535: Wait Three More Days
Shao Xi didn't dare to stay any longer, the chickens were crowing, if someone really lived here, it would be better to come out and see himself sitting in the yard like a fool, if he regarded himself as a thief, wouldn't it be a big joke?
Before dawn, Shao Xi jumped out of the wall, turned his head and glanced at the willow tree exposed outside the wall, he had been melancholy here all night, if it was going to be bright today, it was time to go back to business.
When Shao Xi returned to the county guard's mansion, the sky had already begun to glow, and as soon as he walked to the door, he saw Qiao Wu'an, whose eyes were red, walking around the door with an anxious face.
Seeing that Shao Xi was back, Qiao Wuan hurriedly greeted him, bowed his hand and said, "My lord, where did you go this night?" Xiaguan still thought that he would go back to his room to sleep when the adult came back, but he knew that the adult's departure would be overnight, and Xiaguan was really worried about the safety of the adult. ”
Shao Xi was speechless for a while by Qiao Wu'an's shaft, and said in his heart that this was really conscientious, and it was really embarrassing for him to see that he didn't even sleep.
So he replied with a smile: "Captain Qiao has a heart, this official just went to a very familiar place, and there is no need to worry about my safety, now that the official has returned, you don't have to stay here, go back to your room to rest!" Anyway, there is no need to dispatch the Xuanjia Guard for what is to be done today. ”
It can be seen that this night has indeed made Qiao Wuan choke enough, seeing Shao Xi say this, Qiao Wuan arched his hand and said: "Then the lower official will go back to the room to rest, if the lord has any orders, send someone to greet him, and the lower official will be ready to send at any time." ”
"Well, there you go!"
After Qiao Wu'an bowed, he returned to his room to sleep, he was worried all night, and finally put his heart down at this moment.
Shao Xi returned to the room and still didn't feel sleepy, so he simply washed up and went to find Lao Wu, the things in Qingshan City Lao Wu had personally experienced with him, and now he was finally going to end the matter, Lao Wu naturally wanted to be present.
As soon as Shao Xi walked to Lao Wu's door, he saw Lao Wu open the door and walked out, it seemed that he had gotten up early, but he was also very concerned about today's ruling on Chen Mohuai and others.
The two came to the front hall while walking and chatting, and saw that Xing Wenxin was talking to officials at all levels who came to the front hall at this time, and he didn't know what he was instructing?
Seeing Shao Xi and Lao Wu coming so early, he seemed to be a little surprised for a while, and hurriedly stepped forward with all the officials to salute Shao Xi and Lao Wu.
After the two returned the salute, Shao Xi opened his mouth and asked, "Lord Xing started to prepare so early, it seems that I don't have to worry about today's affairs, but I don't know how Lord Xing made arrangements?" ”
Xing Wenxin hurriedly replied: "The lower official has ordered someone to clean the lobby, so he ordered someone to go to the palace prison to bring Chen Mohuai and the others to the mansion to be dealt with by the adults."
"After the Lord has sentenced all the offenders, three days later he will set up a court in the middle of the city to execute them, and at that time a notice will be issued throughout the city to inform the people of the city that everything is now ready to be made.
"Due to the large number of executions to be carried out, the lower officials also plan to seconded executioners to neighboring counties, so as to complete all executions in one day."
Shao Xi frowned, although Xing Wenxin had arranged it very thoroughly, but after this night, the hatred in Shao Xi's heart was like an angry wave, and it could not be suppressed.
He couldn't wait for three days, and he wanted to avenge Ye Ziyuan now.
"This matter cannot be delayed any longer, and there is no need to take them from the government prison to the government office, and the official himself will go to the government prison to send a notice to you today, and when I have completed my decision, I will immediately behead them today.
"Lord Xing doesn't have to go to the surrounding counties to secondment the executioner, I brought more than two hundred armorers of the Xuanjia Guard to carry it out, and this official will let their heads fall to the ground today."
At this moment, Xing Wenxin was in a dilemma, and hurriedly bowed down and said to Shao Xi: "My lord, is this matter a bit rushed?"
"Yesterday, my lord arranged for the lower officials to investigate those innocent people who were implicated, and now the people sent out by the lower officials are in the prison camp to conduct the investigation and have not yet been completed, and the preparations have not been completed, so it will take some time just to clean up the court and build the torture table.
"What's more, the announcement issued today will need to be spread in the city for two days before the people can make it known, and if the execution is carried out in such a hurry, I am afraid it will be a bit hasty."
Shao Xi's brows furrowed even deeper, and he paced back and forth in place with his hands behind his back, like a trapped beast, and the anger in his heart had nowhere to vent.
At this time, Lao Wu saw Shao Xi's appearance on the side, stepped forward and patted Shao Xi's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Young Master, I think what Lord Xing said is not unreasonable, we only arrived in Qingshan City yesterday, and many things still need to be prepared by Lord Xing."
"I know that young master, you have a grudge in your heart, and you are eager to avenge that girl, but things always have to be done step by step, and if I remember correctly, three days later is the day when the girl enters the earth, and the execution of those miscellaneous pieces on that day can also be regarded as a tribute to the purple kite girl.
"I think it's better to follow Lord Xing's arrangement, now that we have come to this point, we are not in a hurry, don't forget that we are not only here to avenge personal revenge, but also to deal with these corrupt officials for the Holy Lord in order to rectify the local official style, and everything must be done step by step."
Lao Wu's words really reminded Shao Xi.
Not to mention anything else, this time Xiao Changyi arranged for himself to come to Qingshan County on such a scale, not just to vent his anger for him, but to borrow his hand to clean up the local officialdom.
If you make a mess of things on the spur of the moment and fail to realize Xiao Changyi's intentions, it will backfire if you don't do it well.
Everything still has to weigh the pros and cons, although he is eager to avenge Ye Ziyuan, he must not offend today's saint because of this.
If people take care of your emotions, you can't spoil other people's affairs.
Besides, Lao Wu's reminder is not wrong, since he wants to avenge Ye Ziyuan, then if he is executed on the day when Ye Ziyuan enters the earth, it is indeed the best tribute to the first anniversary of Ye Ziyuan's death.
Shao Xi secretly scolded himself in his heart that he was really carried away by anger, if it weren't for Lao Wu by his side, I am afraid that he would really be willful and cause unnecessary trouble.
Shao Xi glanced at Lao Wu, thinking that there was really an old man in the family, if there was a treasure, the ancients would not deceive me.
Whenever he is about to make a mistake, this old guy next to him will always remind himself at the most critical moment.
Shao Xi nodded to Lao Wu, and said very calmly: "Fortunately, I have your reminder, otherwise I may really mess things up, you are right, this time we are mainly here to do things for the saint."
"Since three days later happens to be the day when the purple kite enters the earth, let's execute it in three days! As you just said, we will sacrifice the purple kite with these miscellaneous human heads. ”
Xing Wenxin, who was on the side, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly walked over and said to Shao Xi: "Your Excellency, please rest assured, all the things will be arranged within three days, and you will never delay your business trip, let alone your lord's memorial to your wife."
"Xiaguan will arrange it, everything is as soon as possible! The notice will be issued today, and the seconded executioner will rush to Qingshan City within three days, and if the adults are too slow at that time, they may as well let the accompanying soldiers be executed together, and the torture equipment will be prepared. ”
Shao Xi nodded.
"Then it will be arranged by Lord Lao Xing, but today the official still has to go to the prison in person, where my wife died, and now I will announce there how those corrupt officials died, so as to comfort my wife's soul in heaven."
Xing Wenxin hurriedly agreed: "This is naturally not difficult, I will arrange for the carriage and horse to go to the prison with the adults." ”
"Then there's Lord Lao Xing."
Xing Wenxin bowed and saluted, then hurriedly turned around and made various arrangements for his subordinate officials, and strictly ordered that the tasks assigned must be completed within three days, and if there is any delay, it will be punished as dereliction of duty.
This can make the group of officials under Xing Wenxin's hands nervous, and some of them even trotted out all the way to start the tasks they were assigned.
You must know that even the local magistrates are so nervous, if they have any omissions and mistakes, they really can't eat and walk around.
And these people also know that this matter is related to the hatred of the bereaved wife of the four-grade master in front of them, if this is not done well, isn't it tantamount to adding to the blockage of others?
When the time comes, people will get themselves a pair of small shoes to wear, and they can only say that they deserve it.
Fortunately, there are still three days to go before they can deal with the matter.
After Xing Wenxin finished explaining to his subordinate officials, he sent people to the labor camp to urge him to check the correct matter, and then immediately arranged for the carriage and horses to go to the government prison.
After everything was arranged, a group of people led by Shao Xi waited for the horses to ride and ride the cars, and rushed towards the prison with a hundred armor soldiers.
Along the way, a lot of passers-by stopped and watched, and many people began to talk again, and now they seem to know that the death of Chen Mohuai and those people is approaching.
The people came all the way to the gate of the prison, Shao Xi looked up at the gate of the prison, and remembered the scene when he and Lao Wu came to the prison to pick up Ye Ziyuan a year ago.
Now this place is still the same, as if what happened a year ago is just as ordinary as before, but in Shao Xi's heart, he clearly remembers everything at that time.
Under the guidance of Xing Wenxin, a group of people walked into the prison, and before Xing Wenxin ordered the jailer to go to the cell to pick up prisoners, Shao Xi walked straight in the direction of the cell.
The others also hurriedly followed behind Shao Xi.
Shao Xi walked to the cell where Ye Ziyuan was originally held, and now there were several unkempt prisoners in this cell.
The bed and carbon basin he had prepared for Ye Zikite had long since been moved, and several prisoners were just lying on the ground on a pile of reeds, and everything that had once existed no longer existed.
Shao Xi sighed, turned to Xing Wenxin and said, "Clean up this cell, and I will handle this matter in this cell." ”
