Rebirth of marriage

"Caught, but not caught." Yama Wangchou felt that Xie Jiu had asked a very low-level question, so there was a hint of imperceptible contempt in his tone.

Xie Jiu looked at him with a smile on his face.

Facing such a smiling face, Yama Wangchou inexplicably read something, which made him think deeply. After a moment, his cold and emotionless eyes suddenly turned dark and angry.

Jiaojiao originally planned to kill him to avenge his parents, and then committed suicide. She was merciless with the sword that stabbed him, leaving him in a coma for several days.

During the days when he was in a coma, the state government sent officers and soldiers to the Beast Mountain, and his subordinates fought with the officers and soldiers to protect him.

Beast Mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The soldiers are no match for them, but they still cause quite a stir.

He didn't kill anyone, so he wouldn't obey the law, but they were bandits and if they continued to fight against the government, it would be difficult for him to stay in the Beast Mountain safely.

He didn't want to leave the Beast Mountain, Jiaojiao was here.

So after he got better, he took all the banknotes to the prefect's study and put his sword on the prefect's neck.

Before that, he always thought that his threats and those banknotes had an effect, and the prefect calmed down the matter.

Now that I think about it, it seems so smooth. How could a prefect suppress the case of killing an imperial official so easily?

He heard clearly what Xiaoli just explained, and he was sure that she would not lie under their torture.

The prefect and Magistrate Xiaosu are the real culprits, so they will definitely not report the truth about the death of Jiaojiao's parents.

It is most likely that he made up a random reason for the death of Jiaojiao's parents, and then recommended her cousin to replace the county magistrate.

Seeing that he was lost in thought, Xie Jiu tugged on his sleeve when he stood up, gesturing for him to follow, and the two of them walked out of the basement.

Feng Zhilan was still standing by the closet and nodded to her when she came out.

Xie Jiu understood and confirmed what Yama Wangchou was thinking, "They know very well that you are not a murderer. If they arrest you by force, you will definitely rise up to resist. The power on your mountain is not weak. If they really make trouble, they will definitely alarm the court.

The murder of the Nasu County magistrate by the bandits could not be concealed. Once the court sent people down, they were worried that the truth would be found out, so they were more afraid of things getting bigger than you. You broke into the prefect's study at night and calmed the matter down for them. reasons. "

"Damn it, I was deceived." King of Hell suddenly had murderous intent in his eyes.

"Although you want to find the real culprit, all your thoughts are focused on Su Mengjiao." Xie Jiu paused, "It's normal not to notice it. The authorities are obsessed with it."

These words of comfort were not sincere, so Xie Jiu continued to walk to the main hall.

Yama Wangchou followed, "Reason?"

Xie Jiu knew that he was asking about the reasons why the prefect and Su Mengjiao's cousin killed Su's father. She did not reply immediately. When she arrived at the main hall, she saw Lu Zhuo, Li Sheng and his party were already waiting in the main hall.

The king of hell had no intention to care about why Xie Jiu's people came to his hut. He just wanted to wait for Xie Jiu to solve his doubts quickly.

Xie Jiu then asked Lu Zhuo, "How is it?"

"He was at the county government office, but he didn't see me. He just sent the master to do some perfunctory work." Lu Zhuo replied.

Xie Jiu asked him to go to the magistrate of Xiaosu County in the name of his grandfather's minister of household affairs and ask to buy a thousand acres of good farmland locally, and he would get [-]% of the harvest.

The fourth-rank Minister of Household Affairs is not a high-ranking official in the capital, but for a small county magistrate, he is still a person who needs to be fawned over.

The Lu family has received much attention during these years in Yuyouguan, and the county magistrate largely did so because of his grandfather, the Minister of Household Affairs.

But County Magistrate Xiao Su didn't take him seriously at all, and didn't even bother to see him. This only meant that he had a bigger backer behind him, and this backer was not from the same group as his grandfather.

On the surface, Daxia was in harmony, but secretly it was divided into two factions. One followed the Cao family, and the other was loyal to the current majesty.

My grandfather is following His Majesty, so Magistrate Xiao Su can only be of the Cao Party.

The King of Hell didn't know what they were talking about, so he urged impatiently, "Reason?"

After listening to Lu Zhuo's words, Xie Jiu also had the answer in his heart.

Then he replied to the words of King of Hell Chou, "Taxation. The prefect wanted to hide the real taxation in the city. Su Mengjiao's father was uncooperative and he wanted to replace her. Her cousin happened to be ambitious, and the two hit it off."

This was what King Chou told him in his previous life, but Xie Jiu felt that a prefect had not yet reached the level of being able to hide the taxation of the entire city.

She was unsure for a moment whether the people behind the magistrate were Cao's party or loyal to the emperor. Officials loyal to the emperor may not be honest officials, so she asked Lu Zhuo to test Magistrate Xiao Su.

Now that she understood it in her heart, she said sadly to the King of Hell, "The prefect is Cao's chief minister, which means that more than half of the hidden tax money goes into the Cao family's purse. If you kill the prefect, you are going against the Cao family. You enemies." It’s not easy to repay, but I will help you.”

When King Yama Chou was young, he lived in seclusion with his family and lived a simple life. After his family was massacred, he became a bandit again, killing and robbing rich people. He used his hands more than his brains, and he had never experienced so many twists and turns.

Now that I heard that high-ranking officials from the capital were involved, I suddenly felt a bit confused.

At the same time, he had to doubt Xie Jiu. A woman who suddenly appeared knew a lot about their affairs. Could it be that a rival of the Cao family was using this to take advantage of him?

So he became suspicious of what he said after thanking him for drinking.

He cast his cold eyes on Xie Jiu, "Evidence?"

Xie Jiu slowly curled his lips, "The evidence is the real account books and correspondence in the hands of the prefect and County Magistrate Xiaosu. You still need to get these in person."

The King of Hell was good at martial arts and was more familiar with the magistrate's mansion and county government offices than they were. It would be best for him to steal those.

If you let him steal these from the beginning, he won't cooperate.

That's why he asked him to interrogate Xiaoli first, and heard with his own ears that the real murderer was Su Mengjiao's cousin and the prefect. But after all, Xiaoli was just a maid and would not know anything deeper, so Xie Jiu guided him step by step to ask for reasons and find evidence.

If Wangchou wants to avenge Su Mengjiao, he will dig out everything behind it. Once he is sure that what he said is true, he will cooperate with him even if he knows that he has other plans against him. He is never ambiguous about Su Mengjiao's affairs.

And he was not an ink-stained person, so he immediately walked out. Xie Jiu knew his temperament and was prepared for it. He grabbed his sleeve again and said helplessly, "When the sky is about to break, people's vigilance will relax. At that time, This is the best time to find something.

There is still some time, we plan carefully, it is related to the future of you and Su Mengjiao, there is no room for failure. "

The latter words made Yama Wangchou instantly obedient. He sat down next to Xie Jiu and humbly asked for advice, "How to do it, you tell me."

Xie Jiu said, "The troops are divided into three groups. You go to the magistrate's house, and give me a person who is good at qinggong and familiar with the county government to take my people to the county magistrate's house.

This is to avoid alerting the snake, they will hide the things deeper, so you'd better get the things this time. "

"Okay." Yama Wangchou nodded, "There is still a way."

"The next step is for me to take Xiaoli to see Su Mengjiao and ask Xiaoli to tell her the truth."

"Wait for me to go with you." The King of Hell said with worry on his brows, "She will feel uncomfortable."

She still remembers the painful scene in which she killed her parents. If she knew that the real person who killed her parents was the cousin she had always trusted, she would not be able to bear it.

He wanted to be there for her.

Xie Jiu saw through his thoughts, but when she thought about her plans later, her eyebrows were cold, "If you don't want a future, you can mess with my plans."

Xie Jiu poked at his weakness, he couldn't bear to make her feel uncomfortable, and he also looked forward to a future for them.

He pointed out a person to thank him for the wine, and the two groups quickly left the hut and headed for their respective destinations.
