The concubine in the medicine pot is charming again, and the sick and tyrant obediently confesses 270 Keep Working Hard, Ben Gong Has Been Watching You
270 Keep Working Hard, Ben Gong Has Been Watching You
Yaohe County, county government
Mr. Jian, who is the acting magistrate, is sitting in court, looking through the confusing accounts left by Magistrate Wu.
Nine out of ten cases were wrong, and it was not easy to deal with one of them. It was because the complainant was rich and powerful, so he gave the magistrate of Wu County the necessary courtesy.
Seeing this, Mr. Jian couldn't help but sigh, feeling once again that the mountains and rivers would be destroyed by the sun.
"Master, master! This man said that he has very important news and must give it to the imperial concubine immediately..."
At this moment, a police officer quickly ran into the courtroom, followed by two government officials carrying people.
The person being framed was dressed like a young man. His lips were obviously peeling from exhaustion and he needed help to stand firm. However, the moment he saw Mr. Jian, he cheered up and said:
"The young one, the young one is a servant of the magistrate's family of Ping'an County, Su County. I came here on the order of the master to inform the five county governors and governors that they want to attack the imperial concubine..."
The young man spoke intermittently, but Mr. Jian and others understood it as soon as they saw the note he handed out.
The governors and governors of the five counties secretly gathered in Su County and planned to intercept and kill Xiao Guifei on her way to Su County in advance, as they had done in the past to assassinate imperial ministers.
This operation was led by Yu Gao, the governor of Su County, and Fan Lin, the governor. They not only mobilized three thousand soldiers and horses, but also gathered a group of martial arts masters.
The flag they raised was actually that there were rogue bandits near Su County who wanted to seize the jade order from the imperial concubine. As local officials, they should take action to protect the imperial concubine and the jade order.
"The little one didn't even see the imperial concubine's car during the whole journey, so she had no choice but to send her things here non-stop..."
The boy's eyes were full of anxiety, and he couldn't help but reach out to grab Mr. Jian's clothes, as if hoping that he would know something.
However, when Mr. Jian heard this, his face turned pale and he could not say a word.
He had known that the officials in the river were protecting each other, and it would not be easy to change, but he never imagined that these corrupt officials would be so crazy that they dared to take action against the imperial concubine.
This young man is originally from Hezhong, and has followed their county magistrate all year round, so he will never go the wrong way.
However, he didn't see a car along the way. What does this mean? It means that the imperial concubine's car frame was probably ambushed first, or even...
"Come here, hurry up, prepare your horses, and go in the direction of the capital to look for the gentlemen from Yiluan Division!"
Almost at the same time that Mr. Jian was calling people out of the house, a group of men in black were chasing a convoy on the other side.
There were about a hundred of these black-clad killers, all of them strong and fearless, and almost fell on the roof of the car several times.
Just as Mr. Jian and others thought, how could the foot strength of a mere county magistrate's servant outlast these specially trained killers?
What's more, the real boy who delivered the message had already been intercepted by them on the way, and now the person who went to deliver the message was an undercover person who could retract his confession at any time.
Once they succeeded in intercepting the imperial concubine, the secret agent would immediately retract the confession and identify the remaining officials in the five counties who claimed to be Qingliu and were unwilling to conspire with them.
In this way, they would settle the case again and get rid of the dissidents. Wouldn't it be nice?
"Everyone, work harder and drive the target into the encirclement!"
The leader in black, with a voice like a cold knife, took the lead in raising his sword and rushed towards the convoy.
The other killers who received the order also immediately changed their formations, like a big bag, smoothly surrounding a convoy of ten or twenty people.
The dawn of victory was right in front of them, and their eyes lit up unconsciously when they thought that their master would reward gold per head, with the most valuable being worth tens of thousands.
As soon as his eyes lit up, the hand holding the knife naturally tightened...
However, at the stall where they rushed forward like hungry wolves, the convoy that had been running and did not dare to confront them suddenly stopped.
There was a gentle breeze blowing on their faces, and the sun was just right. It was obviously midsummer, but all the killers felt cold all over.
Because they discovered that the guards in front of the car had collectively drawn their long knives, and the sound of knives was not only heard in front of the car, but also lingered behind them.
Who is surrounding whom?
On the border between Su County and Qin County, a group of officials headed by Yu Gao and Fan Lin were changing cups and cups, waiting for good news from their subordinates in a pavilion.
Not only are they here, there are also 3,000 soldiers and horses gathered by Qin and Su counties to wipe out the bandits.
Once a signal is sent from the front, they can find some enemies to act as bandits and make the assassination here a perfect accident.
"You tell me, this imperial concubine is real. She has the back seat of the Xiao family, which is a wealth and splendor that we mediocre people will never be able to enjoy in our lifetime! But she is good, and she won't give up until we are here.
It’s a place where you can invite sin! Isn’t this stupid?”
"Some people are born to be nobles. How can they understand how difficult it is for us to climb up the ladder step by step? Only by managing up and down can we have the right and left. With just that little salary, who else should we manage?"
"No! Those old foxes in Beijing have made a lot of money, but we have to bear the consequences of being investigated?"
Several officials were talking to each other, but the servants did not dare to interrupt and could only pour wine for them carefully.
They are used to serving around these adults and know that even if they spill a drop of wine at this juncture, they may be killed.
Because officials are most concerned about omens when doing things, and breaking a glass of wine or anything like that is not a good sign.
Even though they were all chatting and laughing and talking about benevolence and righteousness, in fact each one was more nervous than the other, so that the atmosphere in the pavilion became depressing.
Finally, a ray of fire shot up into the sky, which was the signal they had set for the killers after a successful interception.
Standing up suddenly, Yu Gao waved his hand and immediately led everyone to the scene.
He couldn't wait to see the body of the imperial concubine.
I think he originally married his wife Ting, the direct descendant of the Wang family. She was beautiful and talented, especially her skills in making money in business, which caught his fancy the most.
It was clear that he was the winner, but because of the interference of this empress, he was ruined, and the Wang family gave him a concubine who only wanted to show off her power but had no money.
He is angry.
But he knew that his arms couldn't twist his thighs and he couldn't reach the imperial concubine, so he had to admit it.
He also admitted it.
However, this empress refused to let him go. She actually came to supervise the plague personally and uprooted the corrupt officials.
Cut off people's wealth and reduce their lives.
So it’s not his fault that she ended up like this, right?
After giving the horse a hard slap on his crotch, Yu Gao led his men closer to their destination. There was blood everywhere, and there were heads scattered on the ground.
But why are these heads wearing black scarves, just like the killers they sent out?
Yu Gao and others were beating in their hearts, and when they saw the black-clad corpses without heads, and the only black-clad leader who still had his head hanging on the tree, they fell completely silent.
Because the black-clothed leader had a dagger stuck in his heart, and a brocade handkerchief was fixed on the dagger, and the names of each of them were clearly written on the handkerchief.
And one sentence:
"Keep up the good work, I will always be watching you."
