Daming King of Punishment

Page 333

At this time, Bai Zhuo stopped talking too much, and directly explained the whole story.

"Now we are extremely passive, and we have no idea what their next step is going to be. If we continue like this, we will suffer in the end. So Master Song wants us to change from passive to active. Take the initiative to restrain them Take action, so as to take the initiative and let them follow our will step by step. The reason why the Hongshan bandits are eyeing Fengshengzhuang is because of the property of Fengshengzhuang. As long as we move the money of Fengshengzhuang , they must be impatient."

"Yes! The lower officials also agree with what Mr. Song said. The reason why the bandits in Hongshan haven't attacked Fengshengzhuang is that they feel that the time is too late, and they are not enough to take it easy. But if we use Fengshengzhuang's money, then these thieves will definitely worry that their long wait will be in vain."

The county magistrate also understood the relationship, so Bai Zhuo continued what he had just said.

"So, we must make them anxious. But this matter must not be sloppy, it must be leak-proof. It is obviously not possible to let Fengshengzhuang transfer property rashly. This is a huge loophole in itself. There must be A very suitable reason can convince them."

"That's the truth, but what can be done to prevent the other party from suspecting it?" The county magistrate was also like Bai Zhuo's state when he first heard about this matter, his mind was full of doubts and he couldn't solve it.

"That's why I came here to look for you, magistrate." Bai Zhuo smiled mysteriously: "Remember what I just said. What we did yesterday was too hasty, really It makes people doubtful. So at this time, Mr. Song's method not only solves this problem, but also makes the opponent anxious."

Hearing what Bai Zhuo said, the county magistrate became more and more anxious. He frowned and thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what kind of solution to do. He couldn't help but smiled bitterly and said, "Master Bai, don't be a fool. Look at the officials. I've been thinking about it, and I can't figure out what kind of good way to do it."

"Hehe!" Bai Zhuo smiled embarrassedly, and without being wordy, he hurriedly said: "The matter is very simple, I want the magistrate to ask Li Xiuqiong for money!"

"Me?" The county magistrate was startled, pointed at his nose and said in amazement: "Why do you let the lower officials ask for money? This seems unreasonable? If you look at it in terms of official position, Mr. Bai seems to be more suitable than the lower officials, right? "

The county magistrate hadn't realized the mystery of this, so Bai Zhuo could only continue to explain to him: "It was you, the county magistrate, who took Master Song away with your own hands. So, the instigator of this incident is also you, the magistrate. At this time If you don't accept bribes from Li Xiuqiong, how can you be perfect?"

"What?" The county magistrate turned pale with shock, seeing that Bai Zhuo didn't look like he was joking, he quickly waved his hands: "You must, although the subordinate officials have not done many practical things for the people, they are definitely not the kind of people who corrupt the law. Lord Bai, please don't make such a joke, I would rather die than tarnish my name."

The county magistrate had a flustered look on his face, as if someone had caught him for doing something wrong.Bai Zhuo was very happy when he saw it, and immediately laughed: "The magistrate is too worried! It's not that you really want to accept bribes, but that you can borrow from Li Xiuqiong when you have time. This method is what Master Song thought of. , does the county magistrate suspect that the two of us are deliberately framing you?"

"This..." The county magistrate's mood eased a little, he looked at Bai Zhuo and frowned and said, "Master Song, is that what you mean?"

"That's right! As long as you accept Li Xiuqiong's bribe, then those thieves will not suspect why this thing that should have been impossible was done. In this way, what happened yesterday will become a smooth one. ?" Bai Zhuo looked at the county magistrate with a smile, and said affirmatively to him.

The county magistrate began to ponder again, and after a long time he looked up at Bai Zhuo, worried: "Master Bai, this is just a trick, not really to let the subordinates accept bribes. At that time, you and Mr. Song must not forget to help Xiaguan clarify this matter, otherwise Xiaguan will bear such a stigma all over his body!"

"That's natural. Don't worry about it. I will never harm you. If you are still worried, how about I make a written statement for you? The county magistrate can think about it, why did Mr. Song and I Trapped you. Trapped you, what benefits can we gain? So, the county magistrate doesn't have to think so much, it's nothing to worry about."

The county magistrate's words are enough to show that he agreed.While Bai Zhuo felt it was funny in his heart, he also admired him in vain.After all, how many people can be honest and honest in this world.At least, the county magistrate, as he himself said, has no merit but no fault, and regards his reputation so important.

Afterwards, Bai Zhuo briefly repeated the arrangements for this matter, and the county magistrate nodded in agreement, and then left for Fengshengzhuang.

Although Song Wuya refused to let Bai Zhuo go, Bai Zhuo thought about it and went with him.

When they came to Fengshengzhuang, the county magistrate went in directly, and naturally no one dared to stop them.

Mrs. Li Xiuqiong's expressions were extremely ugly. After seeing the county magistrate and Bai Zhuo, their expressions immediately became agitated.

"Lord County Magistrate, Lord Bai." Li Xiuqiong came out to greet the two of them, and greeted them politely.

The county magistrate nodded, and then said: "Master Li, you must know why I came here. As for what Master Bai is doing here, you have to ask him."

Bai Zhuo turned his head to look at the county magistrate, and said with a gloomy face: "Master Li, my son is dead now, and I am also grieving. It's just that what happened to this matter must not only be known by God, you know me, you know me, right?" Everyone should know what's going on. However, the county magistrate didn't know anything in a daze, and insisted on condemning Lord Song as murder. I wanted to go to the court to overthrow the matter. But now Master Song and I are on official business, so I really don't want to waste time here. Before coming here, I had communicated with the county magistrate, and begged the county magistrate not to be so stubborn, so that no one will end up in the end. But the county magistrate Master Ling didn't listen to what I said, and insisted on rushing to your Fengsheng Village, so I came along with you. Now I only have one request, as long as you make this matter into a small one, you will be fine. Everything is easy to talk about, otherwise, I am afraid that your little Fengshengzhuang will not be able to bear the final result."

Bai Zhuo uttered the lines he had thought up on the road, in order to make this matter seem more real.

At this moment, the county magistrate stopped him and didn't let him continue talking.He stared at Li Xiuqiong and said: "Master Li, please stay away from all idlers, and I will tell you about this case."

"Really? Since the county magistrate has already reached a conclusion, why do you still come here to discuss the case with Master Li?" Bai Zhuo questioned immediately after listening.

The two of them talked a lot, which made Li Xiuqiong confused. He looked at the two of them left and right, his eyes were full of doubts, he didn't know what kind of medicine they were selling in the gourd.

The county magistrate sneered and said, "Master Bai, I'm afraid you don't need to ask about this matter, right? You and Mr. Song have a very close friendship. In order to avoid suspicion, it's better not to get involved."

Chapter 365 Asking for Money

Chapter 365 asks for money

"What do you mean by that!" Bai Zhuo was immediately annoyed when he heard the county magistrate's words, raised his brows, and asked sharply.

On the contrary, the county magistrate looked indifferent, and said with a sneer: "The words of the lower official can't be more clear. Don't tell me, Mr. Bai, you can't understand? If this is the case, then the lower official has to talk about it. Now this It’s really easy to be an official.”

After mocking Bai Zhuo, the county magistrate stopped hesitating and strode towards the manor.

Li Xiuqiong, who was still completely confused, looked at the situation and probably figured it out in her heart, immediately apologized to Bai Zhuo, and chased the county magistrate inside.

"Master County Magistrate, please follow me." Li Xiuqiong immediately led the county magistrate to a place, which showed that he thought that place was a place that he thought was relatively secret.

The county magistrate nodded and followed immediately.

"Please sit down, magistrate. It's a bit deserted here, so let's just make up for it." Li Xiuqiong said politely, and sat down with the county magistrate.

As soon as he sat down, the county magistrate said directly: "Master Li, you won't forget the things you said yesterday, right? Are you ready for the money?"

As soon as he asked for money, Li Xiuqiong was stunned. He looked at the county magistrate in surprise, his face full of doubts.

"Why did the county magistrate ask me for money? Haven't we already agreed? Master Song came up with the idea."

The county magistrate, who was still in a state, immediately winked at Li Xiuqiong when he heard this.

When Li Xiuqiong saw the appearance of the county magistrate, she suddenly understood in her heart, and hurriedly said: "Master County Magistrate, there are only two of us here. There is no need to continue acting, and you can speak directly if you have anything to say. This is the place established by my ancestors." Chamber of Secrets, don’t you see that the windows here are all sealed? Moreover, both the walls and doors and windows are thickened, even if you tear your throat inside and shout, you can’t hear it from outside.”

"Huh!" Hearing what he said, the county magistrate relaxed, breathed a sigh of relief, and lowered his voice to arrange for him: "Master Song has explained something new, let me tell you, you just have to You just have to do what I ask you to do.”

"Are you just asking me for money? Didn't I give him 100 taels of gold?" Li Xiuqiong was also a little annoyed when she heard this, and her brows frowned immediately.

Who would have thought that when the county magistrate heard what Li Xiuqiong said, he would also feel guilty in his heart.

"Why did Mr. Song ask you for 100 taels of gold?" The county magistrate forgot what he was here for, and asked Li Xiuqiong directly.

Li Xiuqiong nodded seriously, and told the situation at that time.

"Yes! Your Excellency, you also know that this case was caused by Xiaomin being forced to falsely accuse Mr. Song. At that time, Mr. Song came into the mansion and asked me for compensation. He also said that the 100 taels of gold were used to buy him. He Tell me there is danger, let me be careful. I didn't care about it at all at the time, but now it seems that my whole village is really dangerous. But he has already accepted the 100 taels of gold, Why do you ask my lord to ask for money again? Does Mr. Song think it's too little?"

After listening to a county magistrate who understood, although he didn't agree with this matter, he didn't ask any more questions.

Only then did he remember his purpose of coming here, and Dang even explained to Li Xiuqiong: "You still have to listen to me to explain this matter to you. The matter is definitely not what you think. This time Master Song asked me to find You want money, but it is definitely not for him, but for you."

"For me? What do you say?" Li Xiuqiong had been muttering in her heart, but now that the magistrate said that, she was even more confused.

"Yesterday, according to what you said, we sent Mr. Song to prison. But this matter was too simple, and everyone felt that it was surprisingly smooth. That's why Mr. Song asked me to The purpose of asking you for money is to meet the conditions that you bribed me, only in this way will they be more convinced of the authenticity of this matter. As for your money, it will naturally be returned to you later. "

The county magistrate explained this matter to Li Xiuqiong, but he didn't tell Li Xiuqiong directly about what Bai Zhuo said later.After all, this matter seems reasonable to them, but when it comes to Li Xiuqiong, I'm afraid it's not that simple.After all, knowing that the Hongshan bandits might attack them, how could he feel at ease?

After hearing the county magistrate's words, Li Xiuqiong nodded, understood the meaning, and immediately agreed: "Since this is the case, Xiaomin understands. But..."

"But what?" Seeing that Li Xiuqiong suddenly stopped halfway through her words, the county magistrate frowned and asked immediately.

Li Xiuqiong showed embarrassment, "However, the county magistrate has to leave a written statement for Xiaomin. Of course, it's not that Xiaomin doesn't trust you, sir, it's just..."

"Okay, there's no need to explain these things. Don't you know what's on your mind? I've already said this before, and I'll definitely write this document down for you. But you have to pay attention to one thing, this document must be kept strictly , It is absolutely not allowed to be seen by others. It is best not to let more people know about this matter, not even your wife. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it will be you who are unlucky."

The county magistrate once again warned Li Xiuqiong that this matter must be foolproof, otherwise it will be troublesome if something goes wrong.
