Chapter Ninety-Eight: Rushing Here
The crime changed from being a robber to rebelling against an official errand to handle the case.
Zhou Jingxian suddenly understood what was going on in front of her.
It's a bureau!
She didn't know what had happened, but she could roughly surmise that someone must have misled the governor's officers and soldiers to Ning Weiguo's opponent first, and then these dozen or so officials added fuel to the fire, and when the two sides fought inextricably and Ning Weiguo's confrontation against the officials was implemented, Ye Tong could be asked to convict.
If it is a capital crime, it is natural that there is no need to go to such great length.
Ye Tong was sentenced...... In other words, the purpose of the Ye family is to use the big or small crime of operating Ning Weiguo to achieve a certain goal!
"Get out of the way!"
Zhou Jingxian saw that there was another team of people coming to Liujiazhuang not far away, and knew that Ye Tong must have sentenced them to clean up the aftermath, and the long sword in her hand was against Xu Sanshui's forehead.
"I guarantee my life, Second Master Ning is not a robber, if you don't get out of the way, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Xu Sanshui faced the murderous aura that came to his face, thinking that the children of the royal family had killed him as a small soldier, at most he would be imprisoned in prison for a few days, and crying in front of His Majesty today would treat it as if nothing had happened, his legs trembled because of this, but he still did not take a step back.
He is a close confidant of Ye Tongju, and the Ye family will subsidize him an extra 100 taels of silver every year, and sometimes help the Ye family deal with some business matters, and he can also make a lot of oil and water.
If today's affairs are messed up, the Ye family will go downhill, and he will also suffer.
Man dies for money, and birds die for food.
Xu Sanshui not only did not back down, but instead cried and howled at the people around him exaggeratedly: "Jingxian County is mainly murderous!" Less proprietors! Judge your lord! Help me! ”
Damn it!
Zhou Jingxian didn't expect Xu Sanshui to look timid and scared, but he was actually a hard bone to gnaw.
The distance was closer, and she could clearly see that Ning Weiguo's right shoulder socket was wounded by an arrow, and the child steward of the perfume shop also suffered a knife wound in his eyes......
She no longer hesitated, turned over and dismounted, the long sword slashed against Xu Sanshui's scalp, and went straight to Ning Weiguo.
Plop!
Xu Sanshui was so frightened that he sat on the ground, urine flowing, and when the warm wetness made him realize that he was still alive, the crying expression on his face was more real.
When he saw Ye Changlong coming, he walked forward on his knees and stepped forward: "Young owner, you are here!" ”
"Go aside!" Ye Changlong kicked Xu Sanshui, who was steaming with a sour smell, in disgust, looked at Zhou Jingxian, and sneered: "Lord Jingxian is such a big shelf!" When I came to the Jinling realm, I didn't obey the local laws, if my uncle played a copy of you, I am afraid that the county lord of Jingxian would be deprived of the title of county lord. ”
"Second Master Ning, get in the car."
Zhou Jingxian turned a deaf ear to Ye Changlong's words, grabbed Ning Weiguo's left arm, and was about to drag the person into the carriage.
Ning Weiguo was grateful, but his body did not move.
"County Lord Jingxian, if I leave at this time, Ye Tong will definitely announce to the public that I have been convicted and fled, and I can't trouble you."
"Since the county lord Jingxian is here, you might as well testify for me, I'd rather defend the country to prove myself by death, I am definitely not the rumored robbers, and I have no intention of confronting the officers and soldiers, it was all forced by this group of officials!"
After Ning Weiguo finished speaking, he vigorously broke free of Zhou Jingxian's hand, and the long knife rested on his neck.
What the county lord of Jingxian can see, as an official of the government, he knows that the small things in the officialdom turn into big means, and after he calmed down, he also understood that this was a bureau against Ning Jiabu.
"The Ye family is really a good means, officials and businessmen colluded, and they also used the governor's officers and soldiers to force my Ning family to admit their guilt, I don't admit it!"
When the words fell, Ning Weiguo clenched the long knife in his hand and shed two lines of tears of remorse.
He didn't regret coming to deliver goods to Liujiazhuang, because if Fang Cai's incident was unharmed, he was afraid that the end would be worse than he was at this time.
He only regretted that he had not been able to kill the bandits with his bare hands, so that there would be evidence of his innocence.
"Stop him!" Ye Changlong saw that Ning Weiguo was about to commit suicide with a knife, and his face changed drastically in fright.
Ye Tongju, Governor Huang and Zhou An, who rushed over, were also stunned when they saw this scene, but they didn't expect Ning Weiguo to be afraid of death.
If Ning Weiguo is allowed to die, their plan will be in vain!
"Stop him!" Several people shouted in unison.
Zhou Jingxian also wanted to stop it, but Ning Weiguo, who was bent on death, was so powerful that she couldn't stop it at all.
As the blade approached his throat, an anxious voice came from the fork in the road.
"Second uncle! I'm coming! ”
Ning Weiguo's blade paused, his face bitter.
What if you're here.
Since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials, let alone that you are here, even if your father comes, the official level is not as good as Ye Tongju, and you can only let him be slaughtered.
"Second uncle! The prefect is right behind! You hold on! ”
Jiang Yan is also here?!
Ning Weiguo thought of the fact that during this period of time, there was no hindrance to the frequent correspondence with Jiang Yan, and his eyes lit up with hope, and he said gratefully to Zhou Jingxian: "Thank you Lord Jingxian for sending the message." ”
Yes...... Actually, I just said it in a hurry.
Zhou Jingxian saw that Ning Weiguo's attitude towards suicide had softened, and took the opportunity to persuade: "Second Master Ning, Master Jiang is the prefect of Jinling, and he is the top official of Ye Tong's judgment, he is a righteous person, and he will definitely be able to return your innocence!" ”
"I know...... Just ......"
Without waiting for Ning Weiguo to explain how troublesome this matter was, the long knife in his hand sank suddenly.
He looked at the one-eyed boy who was grabbing the hilt of his sword, stunned.
"Second master, you don't believe in the prefect, don't you still believe in the son? We are not afraid of shadows, and we are not afraid of being framed by others! ”
Ning Weiguo gritted his teeth when he saw the one-eyed boy groping for his long knife, and finally let go of the hand holding the knife and looked in the direction of the fork in the road.
Yun Fei at the front rode a horse carrying Ning Wuxian, and the people on the three brown tall horses behind him were Jiang Yan and his personal guards.
Ye Tong was puzzled when he saw that Jiang Yan was really here: yesterday he clearly confirmed that Jiang Yan should stay in charge of the garrison at this time, why did he change his itinerary?
Jiang Yan could not have been a prophet, unless there was something more important than dealing with the wounded soldiers, could it be that he was specially sought for the robbers?
Ye Tong was puzzled, but he couldn't care so much at this time.
He secretly exchanged a glance with Governor Huang, stretched out a finger, and decided to go according to the original plan.
Anyway, as long as it is confirmed that Ning Weiguo has indeed resisted the charges of the officials and governors, even if Jiang Yan comes, it is up to him to decide how to convict and sentence, and he will use this to threaten Ning Wuxiao and hand over the secret recipe of the perfume!
"Phew!"
Yun Fei tightened the reins, and before he could stop, Ning Wuxiao had already turned over and dismounted.
Due to the rusty movements and slippery roads, Ning Wuwei kicked and limped in the direction where Ning Weiguo was.
"Stop him!" Ye Tongju shouted loudly, and said in his heart: I can't stop Ning Weiguo, I can't stop you?
Swish!
More than a dozen officials had Ye Tongju's support, pulled out the saber in his hand, and aimed it at Ning Wuxian.
Ye Changlong walked to Ning Wuxian's side at this time, and said in a low voice that Ning Weiguo was injured in the confrontation with the governor's officers and soldiers, and at this time he was suspected of being recognized as a robber, and he also fought against the charge of the officers and soldiers of the government.
After talking about the ins and outs, Ye Changlong pointed out the most critical issue: "Ning Wuxian, your second uncle and one dare to confront the officers and soldiers in vain, this crime can be big or small, if he is really convicted of robbery, your perfume shop will also be confiscated." ”
"If I were you, hand over the secret recipe of the perfume now, in exchange for your second uncle's innocence, and then you would make a statement to Anhou in public, and this matter would be revealed, in the future, you will serve Anhou well, isn't it better to be a prisoner than to be a prisoner?"
