Chapter 951 Trapped
Liu Bingzhong and Liu Fuzun came out to meet him. Perhaps he didn't want to show off, so he was not wearing official uniform, but ordinary clothes, dressed like a scholar.
The five bright fans are all covered with white feathers, and the nine-ray scarf is cleverly clustered with black yarn. The soap robe is edged with jasper rings and silk ribbons. It gives people a feeling of prosperity even though they are still young. The feather fan and silk scarf look like a capable person in governing the country.
However, this civil uprising in Chenliu County occurred under the rule of Yangmin Prefecture, and it was not so easy to get over. Even if the blame could be placed on the original magistrate of Chenliu County, a person who did not know who was responsible for it was contrary to the grace of God. The crime cannot be escaped.
Wu Yi, who was about to speak, heard that the royal minister had arrived, so he bowed and paid homage to everyone.
On the way here, Liu Fuzun already knew the general matter. He looked at Wu Yi a few times, and without mincing words, he asked directly: "How is Chenliu County now?"
"The people have conquered the county government. As for the county magistrate, he is away from home and does not know whether he will live or die!" Wu Yi replied calmly, his face unchanged and his heart not beating, as if he was stating a trivial matter.
Breaking the county government office can also explain the source of the imperial edict. Otherwise, you will be charged with forging the imperial edict first. A few sticks can kill a normal person.
Liu Bingzhong walked up to Wu Yi, picked up the imperial edict and the evidence collected from the Yang Mansion, and looked at it carefully. Finally, he read the food reminder document from the Chenliu County Magistrate, and frowned, but did not change drastically.
Liu Bingzhong took out an emergency document from his sleeve. It was when the magistrate of Chenliu County was besieged in the county government office. He asked someone to change his clothes, break through the layers of siege, and deliver the document asking for help from the prefectural city.
Liu Bingzhong placed this document in front of Wu Yi, slowly sat in front of Wu Yi, and said: "Since you are wearing a green scarf and robe, you must have read a book. You can see for yourself what is written on it!"
Wu Yi stood up, apologized, picked up the document, and looked at it. When he saw it, Wu Yi paused and did not look away for a long time.
The servants on the left and right served tea. Liu Bingzhong raised the teacup, blew a gentle breath of hot air, and asked, "Have you finished reading?"
Wu Yi put the letter of request for help from the Chenliu County magistrate back into the distance, and said with a relaxed attitude: "This is fake!"
"If what is written above is true, you are the bandit leader who incited civil unrest, forged documents, framed courtiers, and committed a crime that will last for three generations. You will not be pardoned!"
Liu Fuzun spoke unhurriedly and loudly. He looked at Wu Yi from the corner of his eye, wanting to see Wu Yi's reaction, but there was no doubt that he was disappointed. Wu Yi didn't even tremble his brows.
"The common people believe that the Imperial Envoy will give me a clean slate!"
As soon as this statement came out, it was like talking about Liu Bingzhong's pain points. How could he not know that no matter what he said now, this case had reached the sky. It was estimated that in ten days and a half, an imperial envoy would arrive on a fast horse.
In fact, when the civil uprising occurred in Chenliu County, Qian Tongpan had already passed the news to the top officials. Even if Liu Bingzhong wanted to conceal it, it was impossible.
"Think more about it! Don't make a mistake!" With these words, Liu Bingzhong waved his sleeves and walked away. He did not deal with Wu Yi, nor did he threaten Wu Yi. Others could not find the slightest fault. It was not that he had been in officialdom for a long time, but that he had done Not so sophisticated.
After Liu Fuzun left, Qian Tongpan couldn't stay here. He whispered to the guarding soldiers and then chased Liu Fuzun.
As for what was written in the letter asking for help, it was nothing more than a slap in the face. It was said that bandits seduced unruly people to attack the county. These days, the cost of forging documents is not high. In addition, Wu Yi and others captured the Chenliu County government office. It is not difficult to write some fake documents.
There are only forty or fifty people in Wu Yi's group, but there are two hundred soldiers guarding the outside at the moment. This is the number on the surface, and the spies behind the scenes don't know how many pairs of eyes they have.
Wu Yi was detained and cut off from contact with the outside world. However, his life was not in danger before the imperial envoy arrived.
Three meals a day, every meal was served with wine and meat. At first, Wu Yi was worried that there might be poison in it, so he only tasted it briefly, but when he saw other people eating happily, he also started to enjoy it.
A few days ago, every day in the Taoist temple was just plain food, vegetables and no meat. Now the quality of life has improved a lot instantly.
Wu Yi didn't believe that the people in Yangmin Mansion dared to make trouble at this time, but soon Wu Yi was slapped in the face. Three days later, not long after lunch, everyone, including Wu Yi, had eaten. Afterward, he suffered from vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, and some severe cases even foamed at the mouth and died.
Among all the people, Wu Yi was the least injured. This body, after cleansing its muscles and cutting off its marrow, has a very strong ability to detoxify itself. Most poisons have basically no effect on him.
An important witness was poisoned. Even Qian Tongxuan was alarmed by this incident. He took a special look and arranged for a doctor to treat him.
"You are lucky, you must not have eaten much!" Qian Tong concluded when he saw that Wu Yi's face was just a little pale.
There is no need to say more about cleaning the tendons and cutting the marrow. Wu Yi nodded slightly, which was regarded as admission.
After being silent for some time, Qian Tongpan continued: "The magistrate of Chenliu County is dead, and no one in the whole family is alive!"
"You deserve to die, and all corrupt officials in this world will not die a happy death!" Wu Yi looked like he had received his revenge, and there was no trace of falsehood at all, because this emotion came from the original owner of this body.
This is something that officials hate when dealing with the people. When officials deal with problems, they often resort to compromise in order to achieve results that both parties are satisfied with.
On the contrary, the people are black and white, emotional, not easy to meditate, like perfect people, speak more straightforwardly, and can't get a grain of sand in their eyes.
If the officials have some moral flaws, they will be infinitely magnified, and even make people ignore their own merits.
If the officials are in the active position, it will be fine. A set of official rhetoric will naturally make the people retreat and stop struggling.
But at this moment, it is precisely Wu Yi, the "troublemaker", who is in the active position, and Qian Tongpan is particularly passive. He was silent for a long time and didn't know how to continue the conversation.
"Do you know who poisoned you this time?" Qian Tongpan had to change the topic.
Wu Yi had some guesses in his heart, but he didn't need to interrupt the topic at this moment. Before the arrival of the imperial envoy, Qian Tongpan might be one of the few people he could rely on.
Telling Qian Tongpan more information at this moment, the other party can atone for his sins, and he can also get news from the outside world from him. It is really a matter of killing two birds with one stone.
Because of complementary interests, Qian Tongpan threw out an olive branch, and Wu Yi naturally took it.
Wu Yi shook his head, and Qian Tongpan looked like he knew you were young, and said: "It's a clerk named Yang in the yamen. Do you understand?"
