After Xie Linlang finished speaking, she beckoned to have the magistrate Tao tied up.
The county magistrate Tao panicked and struggled, and the master beside him also shouted.
"Young Master Xie, what do you mean? You are not an official, why are you issuing orders here to arrest the imperial palace!"
"Just because he killed people and violated the king's law!"
Xiaoxi stood up to protect the calf, walked over to the imperial envoy, and returned the token he had borrowed earlier.
"My lord, thank you for your token, so that Xiaoxi can catch these bandits.
After interrogation, they not only explained the mastermind of this assassination, but also explained the truth of the previous murders!
It turns out that Mr. Zhao ten years ago, Mr. Li six years ago, and Mr. Sun two years ago, they did not die of illness or banditry, but were murdered by bandits sent by Tao County magistrate! The purpose is not to let them succeed in Xiangcheng, so that the county magistrate can continue to be. "
"You spit out blood!"
Tao Zhiyong is in a hurry! He certainly wouldn't just admit it.
Besides, he has been in this city for more than ten years. As long as he is allowed to return to the city, as long as he is given time, he will definitely be able to overthrow all the "evidence" in Xie Linlang's hands, as long as he is allowed to go back!
So he struggled and said to the imperial commissioner.
"Sir, don't believe the one-sided words of these people! Maybe these bandits were invited to frame Xiaguan, and Xiaguan refused to accept it!
The lower officials demanded to return to the city immediately and personally interrogate these people to see where they got the courage to slander the imperial palace! "
Xie Linlang knew what he was thinking as soon as he heard it, so he smiled and took a step forward and said to the astonished imperial envoy.
"The imperial envoy did not intend to overstep, he must tie Tao County magistrate, but there is a reason for him to do so.
If you think about it, this Master Tao has been a county magistrate in Xiangcheng for more than ten years. It can be said that the entire Xiangcheng belongs to him. If he returns to the city for retrial and his detention is postponed, he will use his private power to destroy the evidence.
This is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that he can even kill the prince and the prince, and the successors sent by the imperial court are even more ruthless. It is conceivable that he will be pushed to the extreme. You start with the adults, and then run away with silver.
Anyway, the whole Xiangcheng listens to him. We are here, but we don't have as much power as him. "
Her words made the imperial envoy look ugly, and the Tao County magistrate over there changed his expression!
"You are talking nonsense! When did I ever think about killing Lord Qin?!" He didn't have time to think about that step, did he? !
As soon as he said these words, he felt a little sloppy, and before he could explain, the imperial envoy sneered.
"Come here, arrest all the people around Master Tao, and wait for the fate!"
"This!" Tao County magistrate looked at him in disbelief, "Does your lord believe Xie Linlang's one-sided words?! He is slandering the subordinate! The subordinate refuses to accept it! You can't tie me up!"
When the imperial envoy heard the words, he touched his beard, and said to him with a smile.
"Don't worry, Master Tao, it's only temporarily detained. If it turns out that this matter has nothing to do with the adults, this official will definitely let Xie Linlang kowtow to you to make amends!"
As soon as he said this, Magistrate Tao's face turned ashen. If those bandits really had the evidence he left behind and were interrogated, would he be safe
no! He can't just compromise like that!
Seeing that he opened his mouth to say something, Xie Linlang suddenly stepped forward and punched Tao County Magistrate's fat stomach!
She didn't use her inner strength, but her strength was not small, and Magistrate Tao just felt that she couldn't catch her breath and almost vomited blood!
At the same time, Xie Linlang leaned over and lowered her voice in his ear.
"Don't waste your time. Since you are not willing to give up your seat, I will send you down with my own hands. As for Xiangcheng, which you have been running for more than ten years, from now on, it is mine."
"...You!" Tao County Magistrate was beaten so hard that he couldn't even utter a single word and was taken away.
Not only him, but his masters and confidants could not 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 a face-to-face with Xie Linlang, and he was about to be killed by her!
Xie Linlang didn't care what he thought and walked forward quickly.
Today, she was caught off guard by Tao County Magistrate. If she was in Xiangcheng, she might have to lie to her for a long time, but who told Tao County Magistrate to deceive the imperial emissary to wait for her at the pier outside the city for her own purpose
If you don't take the opportunity to clean up him outside his sphere of influence, do you still keep it overnight
She walked up to the imperial envoy and said with her hands up.
"My lord, the interrogation will be handed over to the lord. I will let Xiaoxi follow me and give my lord a hand. As for the lord, I will not participate in it."
In just over an hour, the imperial envoy, who was a little confused by the bombardment of various things, patted his head after hearing Xie Linlang say this.
"It's because this official has been overwhelmed. Young Master Xie and His Royal Highness are exhausted. It's time to rest early."
"No..." Xie Linlang smiled, the last ray of light from the horizon shone on her body, making her eyes a little cool, "The fire on the river before, still needs someone to deal with... So my lord and I are separated. Well, I want to go to the river to have a look."
Only then did the imperial envoy remember the previous river fire. To be honest, anyone who sees this fire may focus on the fire. After all, it is an unheard of spectacle.
As for those ships caught in the fire, they may feel sympathy, but they will never have the desire to rush in to save people.
The fire seems to be almost out now, it's time to go and take a look, so he said sternly.
"Young Master Xie is still thoughtful. This official will send fifty people to you. You go and see the cause of the fire. This fire is very strange. If you don't find out, if this kind of thing happens again in the future, it is estimated that many people will die... As for the people on the boat, let's bury them..."
"Yes." Xie Linlang didn't explain, she didn't need to use this fire to gain power for herself, and she didn't want to tell the truth about the deceased. If the imperial envoy knew that there were water bandits in Xiangcheng, a dozen more came. Zeguo's spies are expected to stay here for a long time, so the gains outweigh the losses.
After she sent the imperial emissary away, she turned her head to Xiaoxi.
"Then you will go into the city and help the imperial commissioner to interrogate him. Remember, you must interrogate carefully and carefully to ensure that after tonight, there is no longer a place for this surnamed Tao to stand up!"
Xiaoxi nodded, but looked at her with bright eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Young Master, did you set the fire on the river today? Was the person on the boat a spy from Zeguo? The son is amazing!"
Xie Linlang patted his shoulder in disbelief after hearing this.
"No, Xiaoxi is the best. Right now, you son, I have to deal with the after-effects of the fire. I will be back later. You have to be careful yourself. Beware of Tao County magistrate jumping over the wall in a hurry and trying to be a demon."
