Chapter 16 Conspiracy

The next day, early in the morning.

"Tuk Tuk—" There was a sharp knock on the door of a house.

Then the eldest son of the family, dressed in sloppy clothes, walked to the gate with a drowsy mood and asked, "Which one?"

The man outside the door did not answer.

"Tsk, it's a bad taste to come early in the morning and play with people. He impatiently pulled the deadbolt away.

As soon as the door opened, dozens of officials immediately stepped forward and pressed it to the ground. He said in confusion: "What's the matter? What are you guys doing to arrest me for no reason!"

"Hmph, you still want to pretend to be innocent after committing a crime?" one person held the arrest warrant in his hand and sneered, "You will go to the court later to justify your evil deeds and take it away." Without the slightest delay, the crowd set off and went straight to the yamen.

In the center of Xiangyang City, at the Yamen, there are many people.

"Might—might—" called the two straight rows of officials in the courtroom.

"Wronged, sir. All three of them were arrested and shouted injustice.

Syllable!

The county magistrate was shocked and shouted, "Okay! What kind of crime should you be guilty of secretly colluding with the three ordinary people to set fire to other people's houses and threaten other people's lives and property?"

"Ah, no, sir. One of the legs limped on the ground and said tremblingly, "The little one ...... The little one was just passing by, and I really didn't do it...... Such a sinister thing. The other two responded.

"How do you explain the torches at the scene to the official?" the words of the county magistrate threatened the three of them.

"That, that torch just, just for firewood. Another explained, "Yes, that's right." As soon as the words reached the crowd, they were scolded.

"What are you doing burning firewood in the middle of the night?" the county magistrate continued to interrogate, suspicious, "What's more, there are witnesses present. Witness to come. As he spoke, the two officials came to the yamen hall with Chu Congjian.

"Is that you?" the three of them panicked, and a throbbing pain broke in their chests.

Chu Congjian walked straight to the front of the county official, didn't glance at the three of them, and said respectfully: "Grass people Chu Congjian see the county official. The magistrate motioned for him to raise his head and speak, without any restraint.

"Uncle, I saw it, it's my brother. Chu Yanshu said happily to Li Shanren.

"I saw it. Yan Shu, you should be more restrained, this is a court. Li Shanren stretched out his hand to accuse.

"Sorry, I forgot. Eh, by the way, what about that young man?"

Before dawn he rode away, and walked in a hurry. Li Shanren replied, "That person has more important things to do. ”

"Uncle, look. Chu Yanshu moved Li Shanren's head slightly.

"The evidence is conclusive, and you still want to quibble?" The county magistrate got up indignantly, took out the order holder on the public case, threw it heavily on the ground, and shouted, "Give me a heavy beating of thirty boards! Wake up the three of them!"

"Ahh

After the execution was over, the county magistrate pulled closer to the seat, sat down again, and said domineeringly: "This official intends to give the three of you a chance, if you can recruit from the truth, this official may consider a light shot, how about it?"

"Ahem, back to my lord, we are just driven by people, this is not our intention. One of them said with a bad face and panting.

The clothes on his buttocks had been torn into thin slits by the severe beatings, and bruises were faintly visible. In the end, under severe torture, the three had to compromise and tell the secret truth.

"These three people are actually just accomplices. Chu Yanshu crossed her hands on her waist and said, "I'm angry." ”

"Put these three people in a cell first, and the punishment will be posted on the bulletin board later. Retirement. ”

"Yes. ”

The county magistrate shook off his robe and left slowly. But Chu Congjian's heart has not yet completely settled down, and the real murderer will definitely not give up.

"Ah!" Chu Congjian's shoulder was suddenly slapped by Chu Yanshu, and he couldn't help but be frightened.

Chu Congjian turned around, pinched Chu Yanshu's cheek with both hands, pulled it into a grimace, and said with a wicked smile: "Look how I punish you for being a troublemaker, take it." Chu Yanshu didn't back down at all, and scratched his armpit with his backhand. The two were entangled together, talking and laughing.

"What's going on, Congjian?" Li Shanren pulled Chu Yanshu away and said with a frown. Chu Cong's face became serious, he crossed his hands in front of his chest, and said word by word: "It's over, but this is just the beginning...... These three people are not bad-hearted, maybe they were tempted by money. ”

"You have to hurry up and make up your debts, don't let outsiders rush you. Li Shanren said again.

"Hmm. Chu Congjian took Chu Yanshu's pink little hand and whispered, "Sister, believe me, your illness will be treated soon." ”

"Well, I've always believed in you. Chu Yanshu smiled sincerely, revealing two cute dimples on her face.

......

That night, in the central cell of Xiangyang City.

"Big brother, you say, will we be beheaded? I don't want to die yet. ”

"You bastard, what nonsense are you talking about!" said the eldest of the three, smacking the head of the man who had just spoken.

"Well, big brother, didn't she say before the incident that she would come to our rescue no matter what went wrong?" shouted the other.

"Hey, God knows what happened to that man, scared. ”

Da Da Da –

"Someone is coming. The three of them lay on their stomachs and pretended to be asleep.

"This is the cell, open it quickly. A man dressed in black and wearing a coat and hat followed the two jailers to the three men.

"Her voice?" the three of them opened their eyes and looked up at the cell door.

"Hurry up, or your head will be ruined. The man in black flicked out the sword with his fingertips, and the blade lingered in the air for a moment before falling into her hand.

"Okay, my lord, I'll listen to you. A jailer fumbled for the key on his body.

Click! The lock of the cell door was opened.

"Quick, get me out!"

"Me too, please, save me too. ”

When the other prisoners in the cell saw this, they clung to the iron post of the cell door and roared wildly.

Poof!

The man in black stabbed his sword straight into the heart of an unknown prisoner, and said coldly, "Whoever calls again." The prisoners fell silent.

The three trapped people walked out of the cell smoothly and walked away with the man in black.

"These two jailers are really cowardly and afraid of death...... the three men's jokes.

"They're just being bought by me — some pawns. The man in black smiled disdainfully.

"Chess Piece......

Eerie silently climbed up the backs of the three......
