Jiang Qianxing was thrown down from upstairs, and no one dared to touch his body. However, the matter was too big, and everyone in Qingyi Hall did not dare to disperse. Although they knew that even with a large number of people, they were no match for Qin Xiao, they still
They blocked the front and back doors of the tall building, preventing Qin Xiao from leaving calmly.
Qin Xiao knew that the Young Marquis of Huaiyang was in his hands, and no one dared to act rashly.
"So, because you don't have money on weekdays, you focus on the arsenal?" Qin Xiao sneered: "You are the son of the prime minister's family and you treat the law of the country as nothing?"
The young Marquis of Huaiyang hesitated for a moment and then said: "I have many friends, and a meal costs more than dozens of taels of silver. What's the use of that little salary?"
Qin Xiao naturally noticed that the Qingyi gang members ran into the yard, looked down, and saw the gang members blocking the front door. He sneered in his heart and said: "If you want to survive, it's easy to do it. Now write a crime and punish the greedy ink."
Write down the military expenditures and make a list of other officials involved. After signing and fingerprinting, I don’t have to kill you."
"Crime?" The young Marquis' face changed slightly, and he said in surprise: "No, this... this is absolutely impossible? If my father knew about this, he... he would have to kidnap me.
skin."
"If you don't write it, jump out of here now." Qin Xiao said coldly: "Jiang Qianxing is dead, I don't care about killing one more person."
The young Marquis said with a bitter face: "I can promise you all other things, but... I can't promise you only this matter... 1"
Qin Xiao raised the hand holding the knife, and the young Marquis was horrified and said quickly: "Don't... don't do it, I... I'll just write!" He looked around and said: "
There is no pen and ink here, I’m afraid...!”
"This is none of my business." Qin Xiao said lightly: "If you can't write down your charges before dark, I will have no choice but to accompany you to death."
Seeing that the sky was dark and there was not much time until dark, the young Marquis had no choice but to shout down below: "Send me pen and ink!"
In fact, most of the people in the Tsing Yi Gang had no idea who this noble young master was, but they knew that even Jiang Qianxing was very respectful to him, so his status was naturally unusual. Someone quickly took the pen and ink, climbed up the stairs, and brought it to the stairs.
If you dare to come up, put your pen and ink on the stairs and then retreat.
The young Marquis was forced to put his pen and ink in order. Qin Xiao stood behind him holding a knife. The young Marquis had no choice but to write down his crimes.
He knew that if the incriminating document fell into Qin Xiao's hands, he would never get any good results afterwards, but if he could not write it, he would be dead right now.
The sky was getting dark, and naturally a charge sheet could not be written immediately. After a while, I suddenly heard a cry from downstairs: "Qin Xiao, come out and speak!"
Qin Xiao heard the voice was quite familiar. He walked to the railing of the outer corridor and looked down from above. He saw a group of official servants coming downstairs at some point. He vaguely saw one person wearing a black official robe, but he recognized them at a glance.
The person turned out to be Zhu Dongshan, the Minister of Punishment.
"It turns out to be Mr. Zhu Zhu!" Qin Xiao said loudly: "I have a humble position here. What advice can I give you?"
The young Marquis turned his head, thinking that reinforcements had arrived, and looked happy, but Qin Xiao had already looked over and said coldly: "It's getting dark soon, I advise you to speed up."
The young Marquis did not dare to disobey, so he could only sit down and continue writing.
"Qin Xiao, did you kill Jiang Qianxing?" Zhu Dongshan looked up at the fifth floor and shouted at the top of his lungs.
Qin Xiao knew in his heart that he was killing everyone in Qingyi Hall. Everyone in Qingyi Hall saw that there was nothing they could do, so they sent people to report it to the officials. "I was the one who killed him." Qin Xiao said loudly: "Master Zhu, Qingyi Hall held civilian girls hostage and threatened them.
The lower official came and ambushed a group of assassins. This group of people intended to kill the court officials. I had no choice but to resist with all my strength and accidentally killed Jiang Qianxing. Please investigate clearly!"
Zhu Dongshan said: "I will naturally investigate this matter in detail. However, I heard that the Marquis of Huaiyang is here as a guest. I wonder where he is now?"
"Marquis of Huaiyang?" Qin Xiao pretended to be confused and said, "Who is the Marquis of Huaiyang that your Excellency is talking about? I don't know the Marquis of Huaiyang."
"You don't know the Marquis of Huaiyang?" Zhu Dongshan said: "The Marquis of Huaiyang is the son of the Prime Minister of the country. He happened to be a guest at Qingyi Tower today. I heard that he is upstairs now."
Qin Xiao was surprised and said: "Master Zhu, there is indeed a noble son upstairs. Is he the Marquis of Huaiyang? This Qingyi Building is where the market gangs live. You have also seen that these gangs are bullies. The Prime Minister
How could your noble son mix with these people?"
Zhu Dongshan said: "The Marquis of Huaiyang has a heroic temperament and likes to make friends. He doesn't care about other people's origins. As long as they have similar interests, they will make friends."
Qin Xiao sighed: "Master Zhu, Jiang Qianxing relied on strength to bully the weak. He not only kidnapped innocent civilian girls, but also attempted to assassinate court officials, which is tantamount to treason. Such people are despicable and shameful, and everyone will punish them. How could the Marquis of Huaiyang be so despicable?
Someone who has similar interests? Wait a moment, and I will ask if this noble young master is the Marquis of Huaiyang." He returned to the house and saw the young Marquis peeking at him, and said with a cold face: "It's not even close to dark.
In half a stick of incense, it seems that the young marquis has not finished writing? It seems that you really don’t want to live anymore."
"It's almost done." Huaiyang Hou said hurriedly: "It's almost finished."
"I just asked you to write down the crime of embezzlement of military expenses." Qin Xiao said lightly: "I almost forgot that today you and Jiang Qianxing conspired to kidnap Sister Qiu, and also set up an ambush to kill me. You should also write about this.
Come on." Although it is not too dark outside, the room is already quite dim. Xiang Qiuniang said: "Sister, please light a lamp for the young Marquis. Since he sincerely pleads guilty, we will also serve him."
Qiuniang had regained her composure at this time. Qin Xiao ordered her, and she immediately agreed and went over to light the lamp.
Qin Xiao then returned to the outer corridor and said to the people below: "Master Zhu, I just asked, this noble young master is indeed the Marquis of Huaiyang."
"It's good if the young marquis is there." Zhu Dongshan said hurriedly: "You let the young marquis come down first, and we will send him back to the house. As for the murder of Jiang Qianxing, the Ministry of Punishment will investigate thoroughly. If it is true as you said,
It was his intention to assassinate the imperial official, and he truly deserved it."
Qin Xiaodao: "Sir Zhu, later on, the people from Qingyi Hall scared the young marquis. The young marquis has not recovered yet. Just wait for him to rest for a while." Before Zhu Dongshan could say more, he returned to the house.
inside.
After a while, the Marquis of Huaiyang finally wrote down the charges and carefully handed them to Qin Xiao with both hands. Qin Xiao saw that the young Marquis himself was quite ugly and the words he used were very rough, but at least he explained the matter clearly. In addition to admitting that he
He colluded with the chief officers of the three divisions to pass off inferior weapons as good ones, and also listed the names of the officials involved, but there were more than a dozen of them.
Qin Xiao knew that there were more than a dozen officials involved, but of course Xiaohouye was not interested in getting to know those who were too low-level. Among them, the names of Han Zhou, the director of the Treasury Department of the Ministry of War, and Qiu Quanhai, the former magistrate of the Treasury Department, were prominently mentioned.
in.
Xu Lang, the official of Jiaziku Bookstore, must also be involved, but there is no such person in the list. Qin Xiao knew that Xu Lang's status was too low, so the young marquis may not really know this person.
As for setting a trap today to kidnap the boat girl to force Qin Xiao to come, and intending to kill her quickly, the young Marquis also wrote about it.
The young Marquis understands this, so he mentions Jiang Qianxing's death, but it is said that Jiang Qianxing intended to kill Qin Xiao, but Qin Xiao had no choice but to resist, and Jiang Qianxing accidentally fell from the railing.
Death, this can be regarded as a wise man who knows the current affairs.
Qin Xiao asked the Marquis of Huaiyang to sign and fingerprint, then he dried the incriminating document and put it in his arms. He patted the young Marquis on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Let's stop here for today. Young Marquis, tomorrow
People don't speak secretly. Your crime is in my hands. As long as it is spread, not to mention the Prime Minister, even a saint will not be able to protect you. You must know that anyone who uses substandard goods as money to greedy military expenditures, no matter who it is, is
If you want to get your head chopped off, if you want to take revenge afterwards, as long as Sister Qiu Niang and I lose a hair, I guarantee that this matter will be known to the whole world."
The young Marquis certainly believed in Qin Xiao's words and said hurriedly: "Don't worry, I will never cause trouble for you. A manly man keeps his word."
"Are you considered a man?" Qin Xiao sneered and said, "That's it for me and you, but you frightened my sister today, should you apologize to her?"
The young Marquis looked at Qiuniang, and naturally he felt that the boss did not want it. The son of his dignified Prime Minister actually bowed his head and confessed to a humble boat girl. This was really hard for him to accept, but compared to his own life, this
But it's a very small thing.
He bowed his hands to Qiuniang and said: "Qiu... Miss Qiuniang, it's my fault this time for frightening you, I'm really sorry. You sir, don't argue with me!"
Qiuniang just hummed and didn't say much.
Qin Xiao then patted the little Marquis on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Little Marquis, let's go down together!"
Zhu Dongshan was also a little anxious at this time, fearing that the young marquis would be harmed. After receiving Lu Junzhong's instructions, Zhu Dongshan led his people and rushed over as quickly as possible. He really didn't care at all how many people were killed or injured in Qingyi Hall. Jiang Qianxing
Although he was shocked by his death, he didn't have much mood to care about it. However, if something happened to the young Marquis of Huaiyang, things would be in big trouble.
It was raining continuously, and although the rain became lighter, it has not stopped yet.
Originally there were officials from the Ministry of Punishments who wanted to hold an umbrella for Zhu Dongshan, but Zhu Dongshan rebuffed him. He led his own people to rescue the young marquis. Naturally, he had to appear to be doing his best. The life and death of the young marquis was uncertain, but he still had to let others hold an umbrella.
It is always not good to cover up the rain and spread the word so that people in the Xiahou family know about it.
Suddenly he heard footsteps coming from the building, and then he saw the young Marquis of Huaiyang appearing in front of the door. Zhu Dongshan naturally knew the young Marquis. Although he saw that the young Marquis was pale, he was not injured, so he felt relieved and saw him again.
When Qin Xiao and Qiuniang followed the young marquis, they stepped forward to greet him, raised their hands and saluted, "Little marquis!"
The young Marquis of Huaiyang didn't look at Zhu Dongshan first, but looked at Jiang Qianxing's body not far away, which had not been carried down. Seeing that the body was bloody and bloody, he felt frightened and thought to himself that he had escaped from death today and could walk downstairs alive.
, which is really a blessing.
"Master Zhu, the young Marquis is a guest in Qingyi Tower. He claims that he is unaware of Jiang Qianxing's plot to assassinate the imperial official." Qin Xiao took two steps forward, cupped his hands to Zhu Dongshan and said: "Jiang Qianxing not only intended to assassinate a lowly official, but also hid it secretly in Qingyi Tower.
I have made a lot of weapons." He threw out the knife in his hand and said, "My lord, let's check if this was forged privately by Qingyi Hall. Where did these weapons come from? I think they are hiding the weapons secretly and may be preparing to rebel.
They must be punished in accordance with national laws."
Zhu Dongshan frowned and thought to himself, I am a dignified Minister of Justice, do you still need to teach me how to do things?
"Qin...Qin Xiao is right." The young Marquis of Huaiyang was caught by Qin Xiao. He saw Qin Xiao glance at him again and said bravely: "Jiang Qianxing must have hidden weapons secretly...
