Chapter 403: Niu Dethroned Envoy

As soon as these words came into his ears, Cao Shu's figure on the sedan chair flickered, and the fan pinched in his hand almost fell down.

As soon as her body moved, the little maid beside her, Hankou, held her down. "Lady, please be calm and don't be impatient, and remember what Madame told you last night. ”

"yes, I see. Cao Shu took a deep breath, silently recited what Mu Jiaojiao had said to him last night, and continued to sit steadily.

When Qiu Shan heard the man's words, he hurriedly said: "Is this official a misunderstanding? My lady was already married to me ten years ago, and now we are married just in accordance with the agreement of our elders ten years ago, and she has never escaped marriage! Since she has been married ten years ago, then she is a member of my Qiu family, what does the Cao family have to do with her? As for where she will go after the defeat of the Cao family, it has nothing to do with others, right? There is also the old lady of the Cao family...... How is she now? It's been a long time since we saw her, and we're all worried about death, for fear that something will happen to her!"

The people in the Criminal Department were stunned when they heard this, but they immediately raised their faces and shouted: "You don't believe it! Now that the plaintiff's complaint has been handed to the Criminal Department, no matter what the facts are, Cao Sanniang will go with us." If she is really wronged, you just have to prepare the evidence and help her testify!"

After that, he waved his hand to order someone to invite Cao Shu down from the sedan chair.

"Wait!" Cui Pu immediately stepped forward and said, "This mansion is Cui Pu, the prefect of Yangzhou, dare to ask what your identity is?"

The man immediately turned over and dismounted, and said to Cui Pu: "Xiaguan has seen Governor Cui's Mansion! Xiaguan is a lieutenant under the command of the Jiangnan Dongdao deposed envoy who was appointed by the Criminal Department, and this time he was ordered by Niu Deposed to arrest Cao Sanniang!"

As he spoke, his eyes stared directly at Cui Pu, without the slightest respect from the lower officials when he saw the upper officials. Even there was a faint arrogance in his eyes, as if Cui Pu's identity was not enough in his eyes.

Cui Pu shook his head and understood in his heart.

He was deposed as an envoy and set up an official position, but was assigned by the sage during an extraordinary period and came directly from Chang'an. The entire New Tang Dynasty was divided into dozens of provinces, also known as the supervision area, and the imperial court would send people to inspect from time to time, and the people who were sent were called deposed envoys. The deposition made the power enormous, and was generally held by the most trusted ministers of the saints. In order to facilitate his actions, the sage allowed him to directly deal with some officials who violated the law and disorderly during the extraordinary period without reporting them, and there was no problem in dismissing officials, sending people to prison, or even summarily executing them. To put it bluntly, it is the temporary plenipotentiary of the emperor in a certain place.

"Then Captain, when you come here this time, do you have the edict issued by the Niu Deposed Envoy?" Cui Pu asked.

The lieutenant threw over a scroll with the seal of the deposed envoy.

Cui Pu unfolded it and looked at it, making sure that the seal on it was genuine, so he returned the scroll: "In that case, then the mansion will also go with you!"

The lieutenant's face sank suddenly: "Governor Cui, please don't embarrass the lower official! The lower official is just acting on orders." ”

"This house is not embarrassed by you. But now no one in the entire Yangzhou Mansion knows that Cao Sanniang has been with us for three years? If she is really a fugitive, then this mansion will inevitably have a crime of harboring and harboring. Now that you don't arrest this government, you will definitely have to send someone to arrest you when you turn around. What a waste of time would it be to come and go? It is better to go directly to the prefecture, and it will be convenient for the case to be tried as soon as possible. There's a lot of work to be done here!"

This set of things, the lieutenant who dealt with him for the first time was stunned.

Dai Ziang and Chen Junbi ran out with the flow of people to see the excitement as early as when they heard the news. Now after listening to Cui Pu's words, Dai Ziang sneered: "He's really getting better at pretending!"

"That is, at this time, he still expects to prove his innocence through this method? Do you want to come back and deal with things when you're done?"

Dai Ziang glanced at him: "Maybe he was lucky, and he really got out safely?

"This time is different from last time. Chen Junbi smiled so briskly.

This time, it was Niu Xianlin who came to preside over the matter, Niu Xianke's brother. Niu Xianke is Li Linfu's right and left hand, and he obeys Li Linfu in everything in the DPRK and never dares to disobey. Moreover, when the sage wanted to promote Niu Cyclamen to serve in the middle, it was Zhang Jiuling's disciple who spoke out against it, and almost cut off the way for Niu Cyclamen to rise. Although Zhang Jiuling was later overthrown, Niu Xianke still became a waiter as he wished, but he hated Zhang Jiuling in his heart.

The location of the Niu Xianlin is also obtained by relying on the Niu Cyclamen, and it must be the same enemy as the Niu Cyclamen. And Cui Pu has a good relationship with Zhang Jiuling, and the Niu Cyclamen party now looks at all the people related to Zhang Jiuling as if they were enemies. So this time, Niu Xianke insisted on recommending his brother over, in order to express his loyalty to Li Linfu, and by the way, also to avenge the original incident - in his heart, if it wasn't for Mu Jiaojiao who came to the door to treat Zhang Jiuling, Zhang Jiuling would have been angry to death a long time ago, where could he continue to live in the world and hinder his eyes?

So this time, they already have such a wealth of evidence at hand, and they are determined to bring Cui Pu down!

Dai Ziang smiled lightly and didn't say anything more.

The lieutenant in front of him quickly reacted, and said loudly: "Governor Cui has the intention to help Niu Depose the case to be closed quickly, which is a good thing." In that case, let's go over together!"

"And me! I am her husband, so naturally I will go with her. Qiu Shan immediately said.

"Then I'll go too!" Mu Jiaojiao thought about it and stood up.

"And me!" Immediately Imperial Doctor Chang also came, "The thirteenth lady is the old man's daughter. When it comes to harboring crimes, the old man should be the first!"

"And me!"

"And me!"

Seeing this, others also stood up and said. These are all people who have dealt with Cao Shu on weekdays.

Cao Shu sat in the sedan chair, listening to the sound outside, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

If he was just a little stunned at the beginning, now that he saw so many people taking the initiative to send them to the door, the captain was completely blindsided.

This was the first time he had seen someone jump into a pit.

Don't they know that now that the matter is basically settled, the more people who jump in now, the more they will be implicated in the end?

Seeing this, Chen Junbi was so excited that he almost jumped up. "Okay, arrest them, arrest them all!

Dai Ziang looked at the situation in front of him, but frowned: "This Cui Liu is really good." The matter had just begun, and so many people had taken the initiative to help him share the responsibility. Such a smart person, what a ...... It's a pity!"

At this time, I suddenly saw another person riding over and said something in the captain's ear. The lieutenant nodded, and then raised his head and said: "Niu Dezhi sent someone to pass the word just now, because the incident happened on the boundary of Yangzhou, and it has a lot of involvement with many people in the Yangzhou Mansion, so it is necessary to summon witnesses to testify in court at that time." Since this is the case, then this court will be directly located in Yangzhou Chengnei!"

In other words, Niu Xianlin is about to come here, and Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao don't have to run elsewhere, just sit in the mansion obediently and wait for the time to be asked for questioning.

Many people were relieved to hear this. Only the group, including Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao, just smiled indifferently - such an ending, they had expected it a long time ago.

Niu Xianlin just made such a fuss, obviously deliberately trying to create an atmosphere of panic and let them mess up. Such a scene fell in the eyes of the people, isn't it ironclad evidence that they have ghosts in their hearts?

first created such an established impression, and then they took out the human and physical evidence they had prepared earlier, and they could wipe them out, and no one had any room to turn over!

But who knows, as soon as Qiu Shan opened his mouth, he said that he had a marriage contract with Cao Shu. Cui Pu then took the initiative to stand up and led everyone else to follow and start the team. These one by one, calm and awe-inspiring, how can there be a little bit of Thai style?

The game they did helped them achieve a reputation for not being afraid of power!

If so many people are really taken away now, it will be to take away the backbone of the people of Yangzhou, and it will be strange that the people will agree! Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao have accumulated too deep a foundation in Yangzhou over the years, and they dare to forcibly pull them out, so if they don't wait for what they will do to this group of people, the anger of the people of Yangzhou will be able to burn them to ashes first!

That's not what they want.

Therefore, as soon as Niu Xianlin, who was hiding behind, found out that the situation was wrong, he immediately sent someone over to spread the word.

Although such an act may seem to be lacking in energy, it is much better than causing a big mess in the first place.

Sure enough, after these words came out, the tense atmosphere that diffused around them lightened a lot.

The captain then said: "However, the main culprit this time, Cao Sanniang, must be arrested." Where is Cao Sanniang? Hurry up and call her out!"

"Thirteen Niang is on the sedan chair. As I said, today is our big day, even if you want to arrest someone, you can wait until we have drunk the wine in the church, but okay? It's only an hour or two at night, and we won't run!" Qiu Shan hurriedly added.

"No!" the lieutenant categorically refused, "It is urgent to arrest the imperial court for aggression, how can you bargain?"

"What if they worship heaven and earth and drink wine here?"

A majestic voice suddenly came from the periphery. When Qiu Shan heard this, he hurriedly greeted him: "Daddy, it's useless, so you're worried." ”

"It doesn't matter, you have suffered a calamity without cause. Doctor Qiu shook his head, and then said to the lieutenant, "Today is the children's big day, and most of this ceremony has been performed, and there are only a few items left, so you will be merciful, and let them do the last thing, and then arrest them and send them to prison?

The lieutenant looked embarrassed and hurriedly turned his gaze into the distance.

After a few moments, he nodded. "Okay, then let's go ahead!

"Okay!" Divine Doctor Qiu immediately bowed.

Immediately, someone brought two couches for them to sit down, and Cao Shu got off the sedan chair. Qiu Shan came forward to recite the poem.

Because of the tight time, he only read two songs, and Cao Shu put down the fan that covered his face.

Afterwards, the two of them came to Dr. Qiu and his wife, and the master of ceremonies shouted: "The bridegroom, the bride, kneel!
