Three hundred and twentieth chapters want to add to the crime(2/2)
Just like that, it turned into night.
Lu Bai still didn't come out to see City Lord Shi, but quite a few people came out after receiving his order. When they came back, they were carrying coffins or corpses, as well as some weeping women and people.
"Sir, what should we do now? Should we just wait and see?" asked a man dressed as a clerk.
His surname is Wang, and the city lord usually calls him Wang Shuli.
His status in the City Lord's Mansion is equivalent to that of a master, and he is responsible for advising City Lord Shi. His name is on Bai Qianhu's list of people to be arrested.
City Lord Shi looked at the silent and motionless Jinyiwei Qianhufu in the snowy night, and was upset: "Then what do you think we should do?"
Clerk Wang gritted his teeth and said, "Send the city guards to seal up Qianhu."
City Lord Shi was shocked, "Are you crazy?"
If he surrounded Qianhu, wouldn't it become a confrontation between the Jinyi Guards and the City Lord's Mansion? Then there would be no way to end the matter.
Secretary Wang tactfully advised him, "There is no way to end it now. The Governor of Lu Town has made it clear that he wants to turn Ankang City upside down. If we continue to wait and just sit back and wait for death, it is better to make the matter worse."
"When things get serious, we can definitely say that the governor has colluded with the monsters, so we surrounded Qianhushao with troops, so that even when it comes to the court, we will have room to argue, instead of letting the other party manipulate it now."
Wang Shuli said.
City Lord Shi felt that what Secretary Wang said was very reasonable, so he waved his hand and asked the city guards to surround the Jinyi Guards.
However, it was too late.
Lu Bai had already asked Bai Qianhu to collect evidence of the crime of Lord Shi.
In fact, there is no need for any evidence of guilt. The Shi family dug embankments, destroyed fields, and horses trampled the rice fields. Not only did the Lord of Shi City fail to observe, but everyone in his house was involved, and Secretary Wang was the one who came up with the idea. Therefore, it was justifiable for Lu Bai to arrest him.
.
Bai Qianhu walked out confidently and walked up to City Lord Shi, "Sir City Lord, the people inside will confess that you have something to do with digging embankments and destroying fields, please?"
City Lord Shi raised his eyebrows, "It's too much to bully someone!"
It's enough to arrest his nephew, but now the idea is to target him as the city lord.
He waved his hand and said, "Let me see which of you can catch me!"
Bai Qianhu kindly advised: "City Master Shi, please don't forget that Mr. Shi Qi is no match for the governor. I advise you to cooperate with the investigation to avoid asking for trouble."
City Lord Shi sneered.
He is not asking for trouble now, but saving his life.
He retreated and let the city guards surround him, "You said that I have something to do with the destruction of the fields, but I also think that you have something to do with the rebellion in the northern mountains and forests."
He waved his hand and said, "Archers, prepare!"
Once Jin Yiwei's people dare to come forward to take him, Lord Shi doesn't mind letting them become hedgehogs.
"snort!"
There was a cold snort in the air, clearly ringing in the ears of Lord Shi.
City Lord Shi's face froze, "Who?"
The curtain with the snow falling was torn open, and a man appeared out of thin air in front of City Lord Shi. He grabbed his collar with one hand and said, "City Lord Shi, you are really good at slandering. You made the officials and the people rebel and slandered you into a coward."
rebel."
He looked around and said, "Now you dare to surround Qianhufu with troops, you are rebelling!"
In Ankang City, although Lord Shi was the Lord of Ankang City and had the highest official position, it was a big taboo for him to surround the Jinyi Guards with soldiers. What kind of organization is the Jinyi Guards? The emperor's own army, the emperor's eyes and ears, helping the emperor to patrol the four directions and supervise the world.
If a city lord surrounds thousands of households, it is almost equivalent to rebellion.
"You, you—" City Lord Shi looked at Lu Bai in horror.
However, Lu Bai ignored him and flew away again, taking away City Lord Shi, leaving the city guards with bows and arrows looking at each other, leaderless and at a loss.
Bai Qianhu sneered and said: "Everyone, the city lord has been arrested, and the evidence is conclusive. I advise you to disperse, otherwise you will not be able to bear the charge of rebellion, let alone the governor of Lu Town, which is not something you ordinary people can do
Hurt."
After saying that, Bai Qianhu waved his hand and asked the Jin Yiwei to capture Secretary Wang.
Secretary Wang still wanted to resist, but the city guards put down their bows and arrows and pushed him out.
The city guards thought very clearly.
Now that the city lords have gone in and the situation is over, they will not get involved in this muddy water.
In the first half of the night, Lu Bai brought almost all the prisoners in the case.
Then came the interrogation.
Bai Qianhu led the Ankang City Jinyi Guards, and Lu Bai led the Yancheng Jinyi Guards, and they interrogated these prisoners almost all night long.
Most of the people gathered by Mr. Shi Qi were rogues from Ankang City. They were either Shi family members and servants, or hired thugs. These people were fine bullying ordinary people, but in front of Jin Yiwei, who was good at torturing people, they had nothing to do.
The power of resistance.
The Jinyi guards investigated the case thoroughly without encountering any obstacles.
By daybreak, all the confessions and witnesses were on Lu Bai's desk.
Lu Bai was rude and imprisoned those who deserved to be imprisoned and caught those who deserved, and he would not let go of any fish that slipped through the net.
So, in the early hours of the morning, Jin Yiwei was running around on the street, causing people to panic. When it dawned in the morning, no one dared to go out on the street. They were all lying on the cracks of doors, trying to figure out what kind of drama Ankang City was singing today.
At noon, Lu Bai finally got out of his desk, stood up and stretched.
He picked up a stack of confessions and went straight to Zhao Prison where Master Shi Qi was imprisoned.
"The witnesses, physical evidence, and confessions are all in, what else do you have to say now?" Lu Bai asked Mr. Shi Qi who was locked in the cell.
He is very embarrassed now. Perhaps because he has been locked up for a day, his hair is disheveled, and the arrogance on his face is much less, but there are more negative emotions of hatred, which makes people look scary.
He sneered, "If you want to accuse someone, why bother?"
boom!
Lu Bai slapped the confession in his hand on his face.
"Want to impose a crime?" Lu Bai said angrily, "Open your dog eyes and see which one of these was not done by you, which one was not instigated by you, which life was not lost because of you! Want to impose a crime?
?What a crime you want to impose on me. Many people have land but cannot follow you. Many people have homes and cannot return. Many people would rather associate with monsters than be bullied by you. Now you tell me what crime you want to impose on me? I can see it. You can't let it go.
The coffin sheds no tears!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Bai waved his hand.
boom!
Chapter completed!
