Chapter 152： Interrogating Lao Tian

Jiang Ning rolled his eyes and said: "Mr. Xie, the magistrate of Ping'an County, is a good official who loves the people like his own son. The fraud in the imperial examination is inseparable from the county captain Xu. If you arrest Qian Wen, it is better to arrest county captain Xu, and county captain Xu." One of my followers was Lao Tian. He once came to our village to cause trouble and even pulled up the taro that the villagers had worked so hard to plant.

Ping'an County had just suffered a flood at that time, and everyone was waiting for food to save their lives. Lao Tian's move was tantamount to antagonizing the county magistrate. For this, Mr. Xie was sent to prison. Qian Wen just followed that man's path. He should not have Releasing it may be an important breakthrough. "

Xu Chun looked surprised, "Master Huang, it would be easier if that person was in the cell. You can interrogate him however you want, and you don't have to worry about alerting the enemy."

The emperor stood up immediately, "Let's go! Go to the county government office!"

Since Jiang Ning was a local and knew her well, the emperor took her along with him.

Xu Dongming was so angry during this period that he wanted to assassinate Xie Yucheng in the middle of the night. He thought that Xie Yucheng would not care about other things after the imperial envoy came. He would be able to fish out Lao Tian with a little more tricks. Who knew that guy Xie Yucheng would actually do it? He was careful and didn't give him a chance to make a move.

Seeing that the county examination was about to start again, there was no hope of rescuing Lao Tian. He suddenly lost a strong arm, and he was helpless in doing things. He still couldn't find anyone to deal with many shady things. It couldn't go on like this!

The more Xu Dongming thought about it, the more he couldn't sit still, so he got up and went to the dungeon.

When the emperor arrived at the county government office with a large group of troops, Xie Yucheng was still worried about how to deal with the county examination. When he received the news and came out to see it, he almost frightened him to death, "Welcome to the minister."

“Huang Gongzi!” The emperor passed Xie Yucheng directly and went straight into the inner office.

Xie Yucheng saw the emperor so excited that he hugged Dong Ze and burst into tears.

Huang Zhengyang frowned in disgust, "Xie County Magistrate, Mr. Huang is here to investigate. I heard that you arrested a man named Lao Tian before, who was Xu County Lieutenant's minion. Where is he?"

Xie Yucheng wiped his tears and hurriedly replied: "He's in jail! Xu County Lieutenant has been trying to get this person out. I guess this Lao Tian is of great use to him, but the lower official refused to let him go. He has already asked Capt. Gao to keep an eye on him. ”

"Then what are you waiting for! Go to the prison now!" The emperor left without saying a word.

Xie Yucheng hesitated, "Master Huang, do you really want to go to a place like Dalao?"

“Stop talking nonsense!” The emperor said with a straight face.

Xie Yucheng did not dare to say anything and led the way.

Jiang Ning followed them silently. It was her first time in the prison. It was not as scary as in the TV series, but it was very dark. The prisoners were so slovenly that it was impossible to see their faces clearly, but they were all quite honest. It must have been repaired to the point of being scared.

After descending the steps, the group heard a fierce quarrel coming from inside before they reached the place where Lao Tian was imprisoned.

"Gao Yong! Even if you are the county magistrate, don't try to stop me today! If you are sensible, get out of here and act like you don't know anything, otherwise I can make the county government arrest you tomorrow!" Xu Dongming's arrogant and domineering voice came out. into everyone's ears.

The emperor stopped, and the others followed suit.

Gao Yong's resolute voice came over, "Xu County Lieutenant, it's your duty, please understand. As I said, if the county magistrate doesn't let the person go, my subordinates can't let you take the person away."

"Gao Yong! Don't toast and eat as a fine! Don't think Xie Yucheng can protect you! Believe it or not, I found someone to change the magistrate of Ping'an County immediately!" Xu Dongming became more and more outrageous as he spoke.

Jiang Ning’s mouth corners became wider and wider.

The emperor couldn't stand hearing it anymore and roared: "What a great skill!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people appeared in front of Gao Yong and Xu Dongming.

Xu Dongming saw Huang Zhengyang and Xie Yucheng's expressions change drastically, and took two steps back unconsciously. Gao Yong stepped forward and bowed with his fists, "Sir, Xu County Lieutenant insists on taking Lao Tian away, and threatens his subordinates with harsh words. Please investigate clearly."

Xu Dongming was so frightened by the sudden appearance of Huang Zhengyang that he kept mumbling to himself, "How is it possible? How is it possible? Aren't you dead? Why did you appear here so well!"

Huang Zhengyang’s eyes flashed.

Xie Yucheng looked confused and shouted angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? The imperial envoy is doing well, how could he die! Xu Dongming, I think you don't want to live anymore!"

"It seems you know a lot of things!" Xu Chun touched his chin and stared at Xu Dongming sharply.

Xu Dongming subconsciously wanted to escape, but Gao Yong, who had sharp eyes and quick hands, caught him.

The emperor ordered with a dark face: "Lock him up and interrogate his minions first!"

"I obey the order!" Xie Yucheng saluted respectfully and waved his hand, and Gao Yong immediately stepped forward to subdue Xu Dongming.

Xu Dongming looked at the emperor in surprise and doubt. Only then did he realize that everyone was headed by the emperor. Even the imperial envoys were very respectful to the emperor. He could guess the identity of this person without even thinking about it.

He instantly became as soft as mud and his eyes went straight.

When Gao Yong dragged him away, he didn't even have the strength to resist.

Lao Tian, ​​who was locked in the cell, saw that his biggest supporter had been taken away, and he was so frightened that he backed away.

The sound of the chains clashing drew everyone's attention.

Xie Yucheng immediately ordered people to drag Lao Tian out and asked sternly: "Old Tian! Xu Dongming has been arrested. Tell the truth about what he did, or else you will be punished with a heavy punishment!"

Lao Tian was so frightened that he peed his pants, "Your Excellency, County Magistrate, this is none of my business. It was all done under the orders of Xu County Lieutenant. Sir, you are aware of this!"

The emperor frowned and asked coldly: "Tell me, what's going on with the imperial examination fraud?"

Lao Tian was confused. He thought that these adults were here to hold accountable the assassination of the imperial envoy. Unexpectedly, they were here for the imperial examination.

Seeing his eyes flickering, Huang Zhengyang snorted coldly and pulled Tian Feng out of the shadows, "Have you seen him?"

Lao Tian stared at it for a while, his pupils suddenly dilated, "Tian Feng! It's you!"

Tian Feng gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, "I've told you all the things you did! None of you can escape!"

Lao Tian was filled with hatred and was blinded by anger, "You white-eyed wolf! If your aunt hadn't taken you in, you wouldn't have died now! I didn't expect you to repay kindness with hatred! You won't end well!"

"Repaying kindness with hatred?" Huang Zhengyang narrowed his eyes and glared at Lao Tian dangerously, "What you call shelter is to lock the mother and son in a woodshed, feed them only one meal of gruel a day, and force yourself to die for the property left by your brother. My sister-in-law blackmailed her nephew into taking the imperial examination for her son? "

Lao Tian's eyes wandered between Huang Zhengyang and Tian Feng, and then he laughed sarcastically, "I thought you little **** ran away, but it turned out that you hugged the thigh! Even if someone supports you, it can't change the fact that your mother is a **** slave!"

 Huang Zhengyang kicked Lao Tian in the chest, "Try to curse again?"

Lao Tian screamed in pain, fell to the ground and clutched his chest in pain, with anger and confusion in his eyes.
