"Useless!" Xu Chong was so angry that he slapped Manager Xu in the face: "How do you do things? How can you make such a mistake!"
Gao Ping is the Minister of Justice, but that's not the most troublesome thing. The most troublesome thing is that he is biased towards Yang Bo. If he catches me, how can this matter be resolved peacefully? He has a dirty bottom!
Manager Xu covered his face and said carefully: "It's all because the people below don't know how to do things and are so impatient. Don't be angry, sir..."
How can I not be angry? Xu Chong pointed at him and wanted to curse him, but he couldn't. He gave him a warning look and turned to comfort the anxious Qi: "You stay here first, I'll go out and take a look."
Qi was very uneasy. She reached out to grab him and hesitated to speak. Seeing him nod gently at her, she hesitated and let go of his sleeve: "Then you should be careful. If it really doesn't work, tell your father..."
Although Xu Shun hated Xu Yuanbo's behavior of loving men, he would not care about it if too many things were involved.
Xu Chong's mood became even worse. He did not tell his wife that Xu Shun was very angry recently about Qi Yunxi's change of identity. He felt that Qi Yunxi did not clean up the mess and caused a lot of trouble to the Xu family.
He patted his wife's hand, let go of her and walked out quickly. When he reached the gate, he saw Gao Ping with his back to him. Not far in front of him, several guards who were obviously very skilled had caught a few people who he had sent to attack Aunt Shen.
His eyebrows twitched, Xu Chong put on a smile and called out "Master Gao".
Gao Ping turned around and saw that it was Xu Chong. He also smiled and raised his eyebrows, saying, "It turns out to be the young minister. I am so sorry for my disrespect. I wonder what advice you have for me?"
Xu Chong glanced at the people behind him, coughed and stepped forward: "Master Gao, what are you talking about? I heard that there was a big commotion at the door, so I came out to check it out. What happened to Master Gao?"
"It's nothing." Gao Ping said calmly, pointing at the people who had been beaten and were kneeling on the ground in front of him, and snorted coldly: "I don't know where these bandits came from, they actually dared to kill people in the chaos!"
His tone was light, but it sounded like thunder to Xu Chong. He forced a smile and shook his head: "This, this can't be? How could such a thing happen in public?"
"Yes, in public, someone actually dared to kill someone in the street! And I caught him red-handed. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that these people were so lawless. Where do they put the laws of my Great Zhou and the government? How does Shuntian Prefecture maintain the law and order in the capital?!" Gao Ping was merciless, and every word was like a knife, piercing people's hearts and lungs. Then he turned to look at Xu Chong: "Speaking of which, I also want to ask the young elder, there was a commotion outside just now. They said that the servants of the Xu family came to chase people away and didn't allow people to watch. They said that someone was murdered. What's going on?"
Xu Chong's face was already very ugly, he forced a smile to deal with it: "No, it's just a misunderstanding. My son invited his classmate to visit him, but the boy had a conflict with my son and accidentally stabbed my son. My son hasn't said anything yet, but his classmate got scared and climbed up the stairs and jumped down..."
He sighed, "It's such a pity. Young people are so ignorant. It's not a big deal. They don't even want to live for it. It's just a misunderstanding. But the accident happened here. I'm thinking about how to comfort his parents and relatives. As for the commotion outside, it must be because the people below saw too many people watching and disturbed the deceased, so they acted a little too radically..."
Gao Ping said "oh" and suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled behind him: "Speaking of the devil, the people from Shuntian Prefecture have also returned."
Xu Chong turned around and saw Shuntian Prefecture's County Magistrate Qiu leading people over, so he turned around as well.
County Magistrate Qiu quickly came up to greet him.
Gao Pingxian asked directly: "Someone died, why did you come so late?"
"Your Excellency has misunderstood." County Magistrate Qiu hastily explained, "We rushed here as soon as we received the news, but there were too many people gathered to watch the excitement, so we had to send some people away first to avoid disrupting the scene."
Xu Chong's eyes were gloomy. He had a vague feeling that something was not right. Gao Ping's timing of appearing here was too coincidental.
As expected, Gao Ping snorted coldly: "So what did you find out?"
"We have found out the identity of the deceased, it was Deng Jidong, a student of the Imperial College. We have also asked the owners and diners of the nearby restaurants, they all witnessed Deng Jidong jumping from the archway of this house..." County Magistrate Qiu pointed to the Xu family's house and continued: "The eldest son of the Xu family was also present at the time... We have asked someone to bring the body back to the government office for examination. We were originally planning to take the eldest son of the Xu family back for questioning, but who knew that there was a riot on the way, which delayed it."
"These are the people who caused the riot!" Gao Ping pointed behind him expressionlessly and said in a deep voice, "They caused a riot in front of you and took advantage of the situation to kill people. Look at how you guys do things!"
County Magistrate Qiu was so frightened that he nearly fainted. A Grand Secretary accused Shuntian Prefecture of poor performance in front of so many people. The next day, the censors who heard the news would report Shuntian Prefecture from top to bottom.
He said hurriedly: "It was all my negligence..."
"What's the point of talking nonsense now?" Gao Ping waved his hand and shouted coldly: "The most urgent task is to find out why these people took action!"
Xu Chong's expression could no longer be described with just the word "ugly". He looked around with a gloomy face, feeling extremely annoyed. Suddenly, his eyes lit up - not far away, a group of people were surrounding an old woman... Thinking of Gao Ping's repeated claims of killing someone in the street, he had an idea - if they really killed that Aunt Shen, it would be a good thing.
Once we have solved the problem of Aunt Shen, we can deal with the current matter in any way we want.
Thinking of this, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Master Gao, who did these people kill?"
"These people wanted to kill that old lady." Gao Ping stared at Xu Chong's face. Seeing Xu Chong looking at his finger with bright eyes, he smiled coldly and changed the subject, "It's a pity that God has eyes. Just when they were about to take action, I was leading people out to investigate a case. I saw a commotion here, so I came to take a look. I happened to run into this group of people who were about to commit a crime, so we stopped them. The old lady's life is not in danger."
There is no danger to life!
That was the only sentence Xu Chong heard.
