Pixiu smiled wildly, without any of the embarrassment, pleading, etc. that he should have after being caught, as if he was the winner.
Chen Ping looked at the murderer he had been chasing for ten years, and he felt surprisingly calm at the moment.
The yard was already in a mess. In order to deal with Pi Xiu's dozens of people, more than half of the fifty members of Jiulong Hall were killed or injured. The supporting officers and soldiers also suffered many casualties. Even Luo Li Nangong Ming was injured. It can be said that the price paid
It’s really not small.
"Wow!"
"This armor, this crossbow, Pixiu, the more I investigate, the more frightened I become!"
Chen Ping picked up a piece of armor, his eyes wandered over it, he sighed in admiration, turned to Pi Xiu and said.
There is only one place that can produce armor with this kind of craftsmanship, but now it appears in the hands of Pixiu and his gang in large quantities, so the result is obvious.
Pi Xiu grinned evilly and said: "What? Now I know it's too late to be afraid!"
Afraid?
Chen Ping smiled, a little scared, but more angry!
Even the army has been infiltrated like this. Who knows how much power these people control in Dayu?
His top spot in the examination is now completely exposed. From now on, he will have to compete with them in the officialdom, and the difficulty can be imagined.
"Master Yang, Pixiu will be handed over to you for interrogation first. I will settle the score with him after the smuggling case is settled."
Yang Anguo on the side nodded when he heard this, ordered the officers and soldiers to take Pi Xiu and his gang members into prison, and then walked over with an unhappy expression.
"Chen Ping, I can't control what happens to the capital, but I will not allow thieves like this to harm the place in Lingzhou. I still have two years to serve as the magistrate of Lingzhou. If there is danger, I can come to Lingzhou to take refuge at any time."<
/p>
He patted Chen Ping on the shoulder and said.
Chen Ping was moved by these heart-warming words. After only two months of contact, Yang Anguo valued him so much and made such a promise. Even though they were friends for the past year, it was enough to soothe people's hearts!
"My lord, I am about to retire after my career has been ups and downs. I don't dare to implicate you. Thank you very much for your kindness."
"Hey, you kid, if you really don't want to implicate me, then make a name for yourself in the capital. Otherwise, if these people succeed, I won't feel at ease even if I return to my hometown to retire."
Yang Anguo smiled sarcastically, and Chen Ping understood even more clearly that there were definitely not a few people in the world who suffered from thieves. It was true that he was a minority and weak, but as long as everyone united, even if it was just most of the people who were harmed by thieves, they would be able to defeat thieves.
Can defeat these guys.
As Pixiu was arrested, subordinate officials sent from neighboring states also returned to Lingzhou with the clues they had traced. When the two sides worked together, the causes and consequences of the smuggling case were basically ascertained.
In addition to the tens of thousands of stones of food that were burned, this major case was also properly handled.
After Pixiu enjoyed VIP services for several days in the jail of the magistrate's office, Chen Ping saw that he could not extract any useful information from him, so he proposed to Yang Anguo whether Pixiu could be sentenced to death in Lingzhou.
"The court takes this case very seriously, and the Qianling Road Supervisory Censor is coming to Lingzhou, saying it is to deal with the smuggling case, but in fact he should be here for this Pixiu."
Yang Anguo and Chen Ping explained. After hearing this, Chen Ping frowned slightly and asked tentatively: "Are you here to save Pi Xiu? Isn't that right..."
"Haha, do people like Pixiu deserve to be saved in their eyes? They want to see if Pixiu said anything he shouldn't have said, or let him commit suicide."
Yang Anguo had an expression that he had seen a lot of. Chen Ping nodded, feeling that it would be difficult to let outsiders intervene, so he asked Yang Anguo for advice.
"Your master did not accept this apprentice in vain. He has not forgotten his original intention even after ten years. It is very commendable!"
"In this way, you take Pixiu back to the capital, and you can do whatever you want with him on the way. When you get to the capital, you will say that you were kidnapped by Pixiu and brought to Lingzhou, so that you can have an excuse."
"When someone asks, just say that Pixiu escaped or died. The court does not know about the grudges between you and Pixiu, and will not suspect anything about you, at least on the surface."
After saying a few words in succession, the joy in Chen Ping's eyes accumulated, and finally he bowed deeply to Yang Anguo. What he could do if the other party helped him like this was to try his best to punish this group of thieves who brought harm to the world. Otherwise, what would happen?
Worthy of those people with lofty ideals who died because of him!
"Sir, I can't thank you for your kindness, so I take this as a promise. When you succeed in the future, you will never forget your help!"
Yang Anguo chuckled. How could he ask for anything in return? He looked deeply at Chen Ping and turned to leave.
"Let's set off in the next two days. It's a long way to the capital. I'm not worried about safety on the way. I'm just afraid that something might happen in the court, but you have to be careful!"
Chen Ping nodded silently. Of course he understood that the battles in the open court were more dangerous than the shadows of swords and swords in the darkness.
Above the high hall, cannibalism is silent!
When Zhao Jin returned to Lingzhou, he happened to catch up with Chen Ping who was about to go to Beijing. He was originally worried about not being able to get help from Jiangxia Academy, but he was worried. Little did he know that Lingzhou was already a seaside place during the days when he went to Qianzhou to solicit sponsorship.
Yanheqing has reopened.
"Brother Zhao!"
"Chen Ping, I just heard the news. Are you going back to the capital?"
Chen Ping nodded. It had been two months since he left the capital. When he set out, the snow in the capital was still there. Now it must be spring and early summer. Two months is enough to change a lot of things. He, Chen Huiyuan, cannot miss it.<
/p>
"Brother Zhao, don't worry, the water in the capital is indeed deep, but I, Chen Ping, have become a piece of waste in the waves. Unless there are strong winds and waves, you can't even think of drowning me."
Zhao Jin spat: "You're just saying frustrating things, aren't you? Just stay in the capital. I promise to take care of the things you arranged in Lingzhou."
"Just remember one thing, don't be impatient. You are still young and have plenty of time to investigate slowly. Acting as a hero for a moment is something only a fool would do. You are a scholar and should understand this truth better than me."
Chen Ping smiled, he understood, but he still preferred someone to tell him that this feeling of being cared about was very precious to him as a time traveler.
"Now that we know Brother Zhao, let's leave. Everything is fine with you!"
When Chen Ping and others were preparing to leave the city with Pi Xiu and his party members, the people of the prefecture city poured out of the streets to follow them.
Too many things happened in Lingzhou in just two months. Chen Ping and Yang Anguo could bear it, but the people of Lingzhou were frightened and feared that big trouble would happen every day.
Until now, when the dust has settled and the voices of the common people are heard behind him, Chen Ping can't help but curl up his lips, feeling sincerely happy.
"Mencius-Jin Xin Xia" says: The people are the most valuable, the country is second, and the king is the least.
Chen Ping strongly agrees with this idea put forward by Ya Shengshu a thousand years ago. However, due to the background of the times, the level of productivity, the system and other reasons, no one has ever applied this idea to reality in the past thousand years.
But today, Chen Ping feels that it is fate. All the conditions have been met. It is time to implement reforms since the founding of the country. He is not afraid to be the first to eat crabs. Even if he is a pioneer king, he will die a worthy death! <
/p>
"Heaven will give great responsibilities to this people,..."
