Chapter 46
After Xie Linlang finished speaking, he waved to someone to tie up County Magistrate Tao.
The magistrate Tao was immediately panicked and struggled quickly, and the master beside him also shouted.
"Young Master Xie, what do you mean? You are not an official yet. Why are you here to issue orders and capture the imperial palace!"
"Just because he killed someone, he violated the king's law!"
Xiaoxi stood up to protect the calf, walked to the imperial envoy, and returned the token he had borrowed before to him.
"Sir, thank you for your token so that Xiaoxi can catch these gangsters.
After interrogation, they not only explained the mastermind of the assassination this time, but also explained the truth about the previous murders!
It turned out that Mr. Zhao, ten years ago, Mr. Li, six years ago, and Lord Sun, two years ago, did not die of illness or bandits, but were murdered by bandits sent by magistrate Tao! The purpose was to not let them come to Xiangcheng to succeed so that the county magistrate would continue to be here."
"You are squirting with blood!"
Tao Zhiyong was anxious! He would definitely not admit it like this.
Besides, he has been staying in Xiangcheng for more than ten years. As long as he is asked to return to the city and given him time, he can definitely overthrow all the "evidence" in Xie Linlang's hands, and as long as he is asked to go back!
So he struggled while saying to the imperial envoy.
"Sir, don't believe the one-sided words of these people! These bandits may be the ones they invited to frame the officials, and the officials are not convinced!
The lower officials asked to return to the city immediately and interrogate these people in person to see where they got the courage to slander the imperial palace!"
Xie Linlang knew what he was thinking when he heard this, so he smiled and stepped forward and said to the surprised and suspicious imperial envoy.
"The imperial envoy did not intend to cross over, but must tie up the county magistrate Tao, but had reasons to do so.
Think about it, Lord Tao has been a county magistrate in Xiangcheng for more than ten years. It can be said that the entire Xiangcheng is his own. If he returns to the city for retrial and detention is postponed, he may not be sure of using his private rights to destroy the evidence.
This is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that he can even kill Xiaoxia and the prince. Those successors sent by the court were even more ruthless. It can be imagined that he would attack you when he was forced to the extreme, and then run away from him.
Anyway, the whole Xiangcheng listens to him, so we are here, so we don’t have much power."
Her words made the imperial envoy look ugly, and the expression of County Magistrate Tao changed drastically!
"You're talking nonsense! When did I think about killing the imperial envoy?!" He didn't have time to think of that step yet?!
As soon as he said this, he felt a little confused. Before he could explain, the imperial envoy sneered.
"Come on, arrest all the people around Lord Tao and wait for the end of the day!"
"This!" County Magistrate Tao looked at him in disbelief, "Do you want to believe Xie Linlang's words?! He is completely slandering the officials! The officials are not convinced! You can't tie me up!"
When the imperial envoy heard this, he touched his beard and said to him with a smile on his face.
"Don't worry, Lord Tao, I'm just detaining for the time being. If the facts prove that this matter has nothing to do with Lord, I will definitely ask Xie Linlang to kowtow to you and apologize!"
As soon as he said this, the magistrate Tao County was suddenly ashamed. If the bandits really had the evidence he had left before and were questioned, how could he have the life?
No! He can't just compromise!
Seeing him opening his mouth and saying something, Xie Linlang suddenly took a step forward and punched the fat magistrate Tao County in the belly!
She didn't use her internal strength, but she was not weak. County Magistrate Tao felt that she couldn't breathe and almost vomited blood!
At the same time, Xie Linlang leaned over and lowered his voice in his ear.
"Don't waste your time. Since you are unwilling to give up your position, I will send you down with you personally. As for Xiangcheng, which you have been running for more than ten years, it's mine from now on."
"...you!" County Magistrate Tao was so beaten that he couldn't even say a word, so he was taken away.
Not only him, but his master and confidant, were unable to resist and were taken away one by one.
At this moment, the panic in his heart almost drowned him! Could it be that he was just Xie Linlang and was about to be killed by her!
Xie Linlang didn't care about his thoughts and walked forward quickly.
Today she caught the beating of the magistrate Tao off guard. If she was in Xiangcheng, she might have to give up for a long time, but who told the magistrate Tao to trick the imperial envoy to the dock outside the city for her own purposes and wait for her?
If you don't take the opportunity to deal with him outside of his sphere of influence, will you still stay for the night?
She walked to the imperial envoy and bowed her hand to speak.
"Sir, let the interrogation be handed over to the adults. I will ask Xiaoxi to follow me and give me some help. As for me, I will not participate in it."
Within just over an hour, the imperial envoy, who was bombarded with various things, slapped his head when he heard Xie Linlang say this.
"It's because I am not worried. Mr. Xie and His Highness are exhausted. It's time to take a break early."
"No..." Xie Linlang smiled, and the last trace of afterglow in the sky drifted on her, making her eyes look a little warm and cool. "The fire on the river before still needs someone to deal with... So I will split with the soldiers and I. I want to go to the river to see it."
The imperial envoy then remembered the previous incident of the river fire. To be honest, anyone who saw this fire may focus on the fire, after all, it is an unheard of wonder.
As for those ships trapped in the sea of fire, they may feel sympathy, but they will never have the desire to rush in and save people.
The fire seemed to have almost been extinguished, so it was time to go over and take a look, so he said seriously.
"Young Master Xie is thoughtful. I will send you fifty people to see the cause of the fire. The fire is strange. If you don't find out clearly, if such a thing happens in the future, many people will probably die... As for the people on the boat, just bury it..."
"Yes." Xie Linlang did not explain. She did not need to use this fire to establish her authority for herself, nor did she want to tell the truth about the deceased. If the imperial envoy knew that there were water bandits coming to Xiangcheng and more than a dozen spies from the Zeguo, he would probably have to stay here for a long time. In this way, it would be more than worth the loss.
After she sent the imperial envoy away, she turned her head and said to Xiaoxi.
"Then you go to the city first and help the imperial envoy interrogate. Remember to examine carefully and carefully to ensure that after tonight, the Tao no longer has a place to turn over!"
Xiaoxi nodded, but his eyes were brightly looking at her, and he lowered his voice and asked, "Young Master, did you release the fire in the river today? Is the person on the boat the spy of Zeguo? You are so awesome!"
When Xie Linlang heard this, he patted his shoulder with amused and crying.
"No, Xiaoxi is the most amazing. Now, you young master, I have to deal with the sequelae of the fire. I will come back later. You should be careful and beware of County Magistrate Tao's in the end and even making trouble."
