The next day, Qin Rushuang and Xie Xun both got up early.
Xie Xun's body had almost recovered. He said goodbye to Qin Rushuang and went to the government alone.
Xie Xun did not conceal his identity this time and directly informed the Jiangnan government of everything he knew.
Although the county magistrate had many contacts with Boss Xiao in private, how could he dare to say anything about the case that King Huai personally exposed.
I was so busy that I swore to God that I would investigate this case thoroughly.
Qin Rushuang, on the other hand, and Mr. Du had already summoned many workers from the Du family. As soon as the news about Xie Xun arrived, they immediately took people to pick up those workers and their children.
And Xie Xun personally led a team of troops to seal down the Xiao Mansion.
Xie Xun was already familiar with the structure of the Xiao Mansion. He led his troops directly to the underground secret room and found stacks of deeds of betrayal.
Boss Xiao, who was arrested, confessed to abducting the beggar, but refused to admit that his workers were abducted into signing contracts of prostitution.
Therefore, the investigation of the case has reached a deadlock.
In the Du Mansion, Xiao Qi and Xiao Jiu learned that the beggars had been rescued and begged Qin Rushuang to take them to see them. Qin Rushuang couldn't stop them from acting coquettishly and took them over.
Several little beggars hugged each other and cried with joy.
They really never thought that one day they would be able to leave the dark mines and see the sunshine again.
Xiao Qi said before that there were nine beggars in total, from Xiao 1 to Xiao 9, who depended on each other. The eldest one looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old.
Xiao Yi held his brothers and cried a lot. He turned around and saw Qin Rushuang looking at them with a smile. He knelt down with a plop: "The princess's kindness and kindness will never be forgotten by us!"
Qin Rushuang quickly helped him up and said with a smile: "You guys are still young, and I think you have good intentions. If you are willing, you can find a job at Du's Chamber of Commerce and support yourself."
Several people quickly expressed their thanks again, which made Qin Rushuang have mixed feelings.
In fact, after Qin Rushuang rescued the beggars, she thought about taking in these poor homeless people.
But she also knew that many of these beggars were used to begging and just muddle along. She was not so kind as to provide food and clothing for all these people. After all, people have to walk their own path. If there is that kind of mud that cannot be used to support the wall,
No need to force it.
Therefore, Qin Rushuang secretly ordered a steward to watch carefully and find out if there are those who are diligent and willing to live a good life, they can help.
While chatting with Xiao Qi and others, Xie Xun came back.
Qin Rushuang stood up and took a handkerchief to wipe his sweat.
Jiangnan is getting hotter and hotter.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with Boss Xiao? Have you pleaded guilty?" Qin Rushuang asked.
Xie Xun shook his head and said: "I admit the beggar's thing, but I refuse to admit the other workers' things to death. I don't know what backers are behind me from time to time."
Qin Rushuang frowned: "What should we do? We don't have many days to stay in Jiangnan, and we have to rush back to Kyoto to pay homage to our father. I'm afraid that when we leave, the officials and Xini here will treat them lightly.
Already."
Qin Rushuang's idea is not unreasonable.
After they leave, it is not certain whether Boss Xiao will be punished if the government intentionally releases the scandal.
On this day, where Emperor Gao was far away, one of the parents had the final say.
Xie Xun saw Qin Rushuang frowning because of this matter, so he led her to a cool place and ordered Qingzhi to bring two bowls of mung bean soup.
"Look, you're so anxious to get angry. What are you afraid of? If he doesn't plead guilty in Jiangnan, at worst, I will bring him back to Kyoto for trial. I won't let him go unpunished."
Xie Xun teased her: "Why, can Du's Shipping still transport a boss Xiao?"
Qin Rushuang was really amused by him, "Don't say one, ten will do."
Xie Xun waved his hands quickly: "Goodbye, farewell. Such a treacherous and evil person will never be in a mess again if he comes to the south of the Yangtze River."
The person has been arrested, and it is only a matter of time whether he will confess or not, so the atmosphere on Xie Xun and Qin Rushuang's side is quite relaxed.
But it's different in prison.
Boss Xiao and the housekeeper were both tortured.
Both of them are grasshoppers on the same rope, and they both fight to death and refuse to confess.
It was another day of interrogation. When he was sent back to the cell, Boss Xiao was speechless.
After the jailer left, the butler moved to Boss Xiao and whispered: "Master, are you okay? This damn dog officer has forgotten all the money he usually eats, and he is so vicious!"
In fact, as early as the first day he was arrested, Boss Xiao tried every means to bribe the jailer, otherwise how could he still have the strength to speak.
Boss Xiao whispered: "No matter how painful it is, you have to endure it. People from Kyoto will come in a few days, and they will definitely be able to save us by then! Please cover your mouth tightly, no one is allowed!"
The housekeeper nodded quickly: "I know, I know! Master, you said...the Prime Minister..."
Boss Xiao covered the butler's mouth, looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, and then gave the butler a slap in the face, "Shut up! You only need to know that, and you won't be willing to show your trump card until you yell, right?!"
The housekeeper dares to be angry but dare not speak.
He is timid, and even if you give him ten courages, he would not be able to do these things. Boss Xiao was not fooling him, saying that his brother was Xiao Yishan, Prime Minister Xiao of Kyoto, so he gritted his teeth and did a lot of immoral things for Boss Xiao. Now what happened
He sent it, but there was no news at all in Kyoto. How could he not be anxious?!
"Master, aren't I worried about you? I'm worried!"
Boss Xiao said angrily: "Urgent? Who is not anxious? I am anxious too! But what's the use of being anxious now! Just wait, people from Kyoto will come down in a few days, and there will always be a result."
Du Fu Li.
Xie Xun held a letter in his hand, entered the bedroom, and handed the letter to Qin Rushuang.
Qin Rushuang read the letter at a glance, raised her eyebrows and said, "It's interesting."
The letter was obtained by Xie Xun's spies. Boss Xiao was actually the distant brother of Prime Minister Xiao Yishan.
He is said to be a distant brother, but in fact he is a relative separated by who knows how many generations.
But a distant relative dared to act recklessly in the Jiangnan area, and also caused such a big trouble. One can only imagine how powerful Xiao Yishan was.
Qin Rushuang asked, "Do you think the officials in Jiangnan know about the relationship between Boss Xiao and Prime Minister Xiao?"
Xie Xun shook his head: "It's hard to say. If you ask them, they will definitely say they don't know. But in fact, it's hard to say whether they really don't know or they don't know. You must know that these days, officials have to keep their
If you know how to pretend to be ignorant, your official career will be long."
Qin Rushuang touched her chin and said, "Then let's wait and see whether Prime Minister Xiao, who is far away in Kyoto, will help..."
