Tainted Witness (please read further)

"Is something wrong?"

In the blood-stained dungeon, the air was filled with a sour smell, but it was eerily quiet at the moment, with only the unconscious barbarian groaning in pain.

As for Qi Ping, one foot was on the ground and the other was lifted up and stepped on the man's chest. There were no scars on the body, only wrinkles.

"No...it's okay." Chen Nian was stunned by this scene and subconsciously replied.

After saying that, when he saw Qi Ping turning his head and punching his head, Fang was startled and raised his hand to stop him:

"Colonel Qi..."

Only then did he realize that he was stupid.

Almost all Zhenfu captains are cultivators, how could they not be able to defeat a few ordinary people?

Even if a barbarian is strong and powerful, his spiritual practice is an insurmountable obstacle for ordinary people.

It's ridiculous that he is actually worried that Qi Ping will be beaten to death.

Under normal circumstances, he would not forget it, but when Yu Qing and Anping arrived one after another, he was so shaken that he forgot about it.

"Are you the county magistrate?"

Qi Ping heard the sound and did not fight again. He looked at the old official robe and showed a smile:

"These people want to kill me, but they have no choice but to fight back. Does the magistrate think it's inappropriate?"

The other party called himself "Xiaowei", which meant that someone from the Zhenfu Division had already arrived.

"No...yes...no..." Chen Nian spoke incoherently, hurriedly waving his hands, and then stuttered: "Misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding! Well done, Colonel Qi!"

As he said that, he looked at the government officials behind him and said angrily: "Why don't you bring Captain Qi out?"

The jailer in the cell had not yet recovered and had no idea what was happening.

Ben responded and hurriedly opened the cell door.

Qi Ping, with the old god present, slowly sat down on the straw mat:

"The magistrate is joking. I am involved in a case and am being detained here. I can come and go as I please. Doesn't that mean I regard the law as nothing?"

After a pause, he said deliberately: "Ah, are you going to be tried in court?"

Chen Nian was about to cry. When he saw this, he stepped through the door and bowed with a smile: "Captain Qi, don't be joking. This matter is a complete misunderstanding. It was the Xu Mansion manager who made a false accusation, so..."

Qi Ping sat in the corner and said calmly: "Shangyuan Yamen acts according to the law. As the captain of the Zhenfu School, I should cooperate."

He won't leave!

Eyes turn black with age.

Suddenly he turned his head and ordered the yamen servant to leave. Then he lifted his official robe and sat on the ground. Suddenly he gritted his teeth, slapped himself lightly and said:

"Captain Qi, look..."

Qi Ping was a little surprised. He thought that he was indeed a veteran in officialdom, capable of bending and stretching.

But, as for... Can Pei Shaoqing scare you like this?

When Chen Nian saw this, he apologized again, and finally advised: "I know that the captain is angry, but Princess Anping and the remaining households are waiting outside, so it's not good..."

"Wait, who did you say is here?" Qi Ping was stunned.

Princess Anping? Why is this girl here? I just want Fan Er to go find Pei Shaoqing... And Yu Baihu? Which one is it, Yu or Yu?

A dark face appeared in Qi Ping's mind, thinking no way.

He didn't know where Yu Qing worked in Kyoto.

At this time, he couldn't sit still anymore. He borrowed the donkey's help from the slope and Shi Shiran stood up. When he walked out of the prison, he paused and looked at the bloody barbarians: "These..."

Chen Nian patted his chest: "Let the captain handle it!"

"Forget it, let's go out first." Qi Pingxin said. This group of people was basically disabled and he was not in a hurry to solve it.

The group of people left the prison, Chen Nian apologized and laughed all the way, and quickly returned to the Yamen courtyard.

People from the Zhenfu Division and the Prince's Mansion are still waiting.

Seeing this, Qi Ping straightened his clothes and walked quickly. He took a look at Anping, who stood out from the crowd, and shouted: "I have seen the princess in my humble position!"

brush……

Eyes came one after another. Qi Shu and Fan Er were the first to greet them. Seeing that Qi Ping was intact and uninjured, they first breathed a sigh of relief and then smiled:

"Are you OK."

"What can be the matter?" Qi Ping blinked, nodded to Fan Er, then looked at Qi Shu, feeling helpless: "Princess, did you find her?"

"Yes." Qi Shu lowered her head and responded like a mosquito, as if she had made a mistake.

Qi Ping asked her to wait in the inn, and she took matters into her own hands - when she saw Zhong Jinyi, she already understood that Qi Ping had already prepared.

"You." Qi Ping didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and rubbed the girl's hair. He couldn't bear to blame her.

"Qi Ping! Why didn't you tell me that you came to Kyoto?" came a lively and clear voice, pretending to be angry.

Qi Ping said decisively: "It's my humble duty to make a mistake! Please punish me, Princess!"

Anping, who had snow-white skin and a delicate face, walked over carelessly. He chuckled when he heard the words, feeling very comfortable. He crossed his arms and said:

"It's good to know. I, the princess, will go out first, and you will come to receive the punishment later."

"As you command!"

Anping led the guards of the Prince's Mansion away. Qi Ping then looked at Zhong Jinyi. To be precise, it was Yu Qing who was the leader. He took a deep breath and said in a complicated tone:

"Why are you here, sir?"

This is a double entendre.

One asked why Yu Qing came here in person, and the other asked why the governor's guard captain was also in the Zhenfu Division.

A smile appeared on Yu Qinghei's face: "Only you are allowed to come, not me?"

That's awesome, Lao Yu. You used puns to answer puns. I didn't expect that you, a black man, could even talk... Qi Ping gave a thumbs up in his heart.

The word "lai" here clearly refers to the Shangyuan County Government Office and implicitly refers to the Zhenfu Division.

"You were assigned to Yu Baihu, and so was I." Pei Shaoqing walked over and whispered.

This time we are [real] colleagues, not only in the same yamen, but also in the same department.

All I can say is that it is indeed destined.

"Thank you." Qi Ping was surprised and whispered. The little puppy smiled sweetly.

"Oh, I just said it was a misunderstanding," Chen Nian came over with a smile on his face, "Colonel Qi is fine, it's okay, it's okay."

Qi Ping smiled half-heartedly: "It's really okay to lock me up with a few barbarians."

Yu Qing's eyes turned cold.

Chen Nian lamented in his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "Master Yu, this matter is indeed a false accusation by the steward of the Xu Mansion. I will send someone to arrest you and I will definitely give you an explanation."

He knew that he might not be able to avoid this disaster, but he could only bite him to death and throw the blame to the Xu family.

"No need," Yu Qing said coldly:

"I have ordered people to go to the Xu Mansion to arrest someone. I dare to make false accusations against the Lieutenant of the Zhenfu School. Oh, Mr. Chen came forward to testify. The evidence of the crime is conclusive and the matter will be dealt with according to the law. Presumably, even Xu Gai has nothing to say in the matter."

Chen Nianqiang smiled: "I am willing to bear witness!"

I lament in my heart.

Yu Qing gave him two choices, either to serve as a witness, offend the Xu family, and convict him of false accusation, and he would be held responsible for "negligence."

Or, cover up for the Xu Mansion and kill Qi Ping who was involved in the case. This has room for manipulation in legal terms, but the price is to offend the Zhenfu Division.

He has no choice.

"My lord, please wait a moment. I'm going to write my testimony right now." Chen Nian sighed and walked towards the inner hall.

Seeing Qi Ping frowning, Pei Shaoqing explained:

"The steward is in charge of a business for the Xu Mansion, and it involves more than one powerful family. If there is no conclusive evidence, the Xu Mansion will definitely protect him to death. If we cling to Chen Nian and push him to the edge, he will completely turn to the Xu Mansion.

There will be some trouble."

This sentence contains a lot of information and involves transactions between both parties.

Qi Ping didn't care. He didn't suffer in the first place. Although Chen Nian was hateful, he was just a tool. He slapped himself in front of him and apologized, which was a very low profile.

In contrast, he wanted the chief steward of Xu Mansion to pay the price.

"By the way, if that's the case, is there any performance left?" Qi Ping suddenly asked.

Achievements? Pei Shaoqing was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, the chief manager of the Xu Mansion must have a bunch of shady information in his hands. If he is caught and thrown into the prison, and he can pry out a few pieces at random, he will probably not have to worry about the mission next month."

All the Jinyi nodded their heads one after another, their eyes shining brightly.

If the "performance" is good, they also get bonuses.

In tonight's round, Qi Ping not only succeeded in saving himself, but also reaped a lot of benefits for the entire department. Both parties felt very satisfied.

At this time, Chen Nian had written his testimony and handed it to Yu Qing. Zhong Jinyi still had some things to finish, so he asked Qi Ping and the others to go back first.

Qi Ping didn't refuse and walked out with his little sister and filial son.

Outside, the little princess was still waiting for him.
