Chapter 32 Ximen Qing assassinates the county magistrate
Yanggu Magistrate's expression changed.
He lowered his face and looked at Ximen Qing.
Ximen Qing has been an evildoer in Yanggu for more than ten years. In the past, victims in the county also reported to Dongping Prefecture, but only Ximen Qing had someone above him. The complainants either died unexpectedly or were forced to flee their homes.
As time went by, no one dared to file a lawsuit.
But Wang Lin is no ordinary person.
He is now a well-known figure in Dongping Mansion and even in the entire Shandong Province. He has the reputation of a tiger-fighting hero. In addition, he has considerable wealth. If he is determined to run the business in Dongping Mansion, what can't be accomplished?
Anyone who Ximen Qing could bribe, Wang Lin could do the same.
The magistrate of Yanggu immediately felt that Wang Lin's matter should not be underestimated.
Once Ximen Qing is found out, he, the county official, will definitely be implicated.
There are only two ways now. One is for Ximen Qing to admit his fault, apologize and fully compensate Wang Lin for his losses.
The other option is to kill Wang Lin, once and for all.
But is the tiger-fighting hero so easy to kill?
People here have a lot of talk, and once word spreads, it's hard to imagine how much trouble it will cause.
Yanggu County Magistrate suddenly stood up, and was about to call Wang Lin, and then persuade Ximen Qing to pay some property and act as a peacemaker, when he saw Ximen Qing had a fierce expression on his face, flicked his robe sleeves, turned his wrist, and held a sharp dagger.
He jumped over and stabbed straight into the back of Wang Lin, who was walking slowly!
Ximen Qing's thrust was really fast, fierce and sudden. No one expected that he would actually dare to do it, and some guests couldn't help but scream in surprise.
However, Wang Lin turned around and avoided it, pretending to be panicked and said: "Ximen Qing, you are so bold, you dare to commit murder in public!"
Ximen Qing remained silent, restrained his body from throwing himself into the air, and stabbed Wang Lin in the throat again with the knife.
Wang Lin panicked and backed away, escaping again and again.
At this time, Ximen Qing's thugs surrounded Wu Song and entangled him. Wu Song couldn't get away in a hurry. Seeing this, Ximen Qing started to attack even more ferociously, stabbing him with the dagger in his hand crazily.
A very strange scene occurred on the field.
Ximen Qing held a knife and forced Wang Lin to flee in all directions. While Wang Lin was hiding, he shouted "Where is the law of the Song Dynasty?"
No one noticed that Wang Lin actually retreated to the side of Yanggu County Magistrate and others.
Seeing Ximen Qing stabbing him hard, a look of indifference flashed across the corner of Wang Lin's mouth.
He dodged back and slightly hooked his feet. Magistrate Yanggu staggered and hit Ximen Qing's knife edge just as he was about to dodge.
The dagger went straight into Yanggu Magistrate’s chest and abdomen!
Blood flowed out and splashed all over Ximen Qing's face.
At this time, the Yanggu County Magistrate let out a shrill scream and fell straight down.
Wang Lin suddenly shouted loudly: "Everyone, Ximen Qing actually assassinated the county master in public. If we don't take him down and the government investigates him, we will not be able to escape the responsibility!"
The incident happened so unexpectedly that everyone from the Yanggu magistrate to the county government was stunned and stunned on the spot. For a while, no one came forward to save the magistrate.
Ximen Qing was covered in blood and saw the magistrate lying on the ground. He knew that he was afraid that he had fallen into Wang Lin's trap and caused a big disaster, so he immediately wanted to retreat.
He turned and ran away.
"Want to escape?" Wang Lin was already prepared and jumped up to kick him to the ground. Without waiting for Ximen Qing to wake up, he stepped forward and punched the guy two or three times, beating him to the ground.
The Buddha was born, and the two Buddhas ascended to heaven.
"Why...why did you design to frame a certain family?" Ximen Qing struggled hard, but couldn't move at all.
"Because you deserve to die!" Wang Lin rode on Ximen Qing and punched Ximen Qing hard on the head, knocking him unconscious.
Then he turned around and shouted: "Why don't you hurry up and capture the murderer of the county magistrate? If you really want him to escape, I'll see how you can explain to the superior!"
The county police team leader who followed Yanggu County Magistrate to the banquet finally woke up, rushed over, and tied up the unconscious Ximen Qing. Naturally, the group of thugs who had been knocked down by Wu Song also
Neither can run away.
Wang Lin then rushed to the magistrate of Yanggu County. The county magistrate who had suffered a terrible disaster was already lying in a pool of blood. Wang Lin shouted quickly: "Go and call the doctor quickly!"
While talking, Wang Lin quietly pulled out the dagger from Yanggu Magistrate's body and threw it on the ground while no one was paying attention. The magistrate's blood started to pour out again.
…
The magistrate of Yanggu County was unexpectedly rescued.
Although he lost a lot of blood, his vitals were not injured, and he was still alive.
Wang Lin was greatly disappointed.
If this corrupt official cannot die, Ximen Qing may not die.
Wang Lin knew very well that if you don't kill a tiger, you will be harmed by it. He planned and designed this scene carefully, how could he stop halfway.
County government house.
The magistrate of Yanggu County, who was lying in bed extremely weak, was angry when he heard that Wang Lin came to visit. He didn't want to see him because he knew very well that Ximen Qing's knife was meant to stab Wang Lin.
Stabbing himself was an accident.
But the housekeeper whispered a few words in his ear, and he waved his hand and agreed to let Wang Lin in.
Wang Lin smiled and approached with a box in his hand, placing it in front of Yanggu Magistrate's bed.
He didn't waste any time and leaned over to open the box. It was full of white silver ingots.
Magistrate Yanggu's eyes were bright and his spirit immediately soared.
He forced a smile and said, "What are you doing, little official?"
Wang Lin said: "This time the county magistrate was assassinated by the evil thief Ximen Qing. After all, it was because of Xiaosheng's banquet. The county magistrate suffered such a catastrophe. Xiaosheng felt really bad about it. I asked the county magistrate not to dislike it for the small gift."
Even though he was seriously injured, the greedy Yanggu magistrate still smiled happily and said: "You are so polite, you are so polite!"
Wang Lin looked at the maids and servants waiting nearby.
The magistrate of Yanggu hesitated for a moment and said, "You guys, please step aside first while I talk to the junior officials."
When there was no one in the room, Wang Lin smiled and said, "I wonder what the county master is going to do with Ximen Qing?"
"You should deal with it according to the law."
"The county magistrate will have received this blow for nothing..."
The magistrate of Yanggu sneered in his heart, was he stabbed in vain?
Just kidding, if I don’t beat the shit out of Ximen Qing this time, I won’t be the county magistrate.
Wang Lin said again: "My lord, the thief Ximen Qing has caused a lot of public resentment in Yanggu. This time he assassinated the lord in public and committed an unforgivable felony! In addition, this thief has an affair with the Liangshan bandits. Once this happens, Xiaosheng will be worried."
I have to implicate the master."
The county magistrate of Yanggu was stunned, frowned and shook his head: "This county knows what kind of person Ximen Qing is. He has indeed done a lot of bullying of men and women, but as for his association with the Liangshan thieves, it is an unwarranted frame-up."
Wang Lin said lightly: "Does the county magistrate know that people have different opinions and that people can make false claims come true?"
"It is said that this news has spread throughout Yanggu, and I think it will reach Dongping Mansion soon. Everyone said that Ximen Qing was an internal agent of Liangshan, who first assassinated the county magistrate, and then led the Liangshan bandit generals to attack Yanggu and plunder the whole country.
county."
"If Ximen Qing dies, everything will stop. Otherwise, it is inevitable that rumors will spread among the public that some county officials are colluding with the Liangshan thieves."
The magistrate of Yanggu took a deep breath and coughed violently, which affected the wound and grimaced in pain.
After a long time, the magistrate of Yanggu said silently: "This county has finally seen clearly. I am afraid that all of this was planned and concocted by Wang Lin, who made it clear that he wanted to harm Ximen Qing... Do you have a grudge?"
Wang Lin shook his head: "No injustice, no enmity."
"Then what do you want?"
"Ximen Qing colluded with the Liangshan thieves and brought trouble to the village. He killed countless people and deserved to die! After Ximen Qing assassinated the county magistrate, a group of Liangshan thieves sneaked into Yanggu. They failed to rescue Ximen Qing and instead robbed Ximen's family..."
Magistrate Yanggu twitched his lips: "You...not only want to kill Ximen Qing's life, but you also covet his family assets. You are so vicious!"
"How can this county allow you to do such a sinful thing? Don't even think about it!"
You still have the nerve to say this... Wang Lin curled his lips and said calmly: "Everyone can take ill-gotten wealth! Everyone can rise up and punish the thieves who bring harm to the country and the people!"
"Ximen Qing's family wealth can be divided into three parts. The young man gets two shares, and the county honoree takes one. Most of the two shares earned by the young man will be distributed to the people of Yanggu, but the county honorary gets these for nothing."
The magistrate of Yanggu suddenly opened his eyes, "What? You choose two, and I choose one?"
"Without Xiaosheng's cooperation, the county magistrate can only confiscate all the proceeds from the house confiscation. To take a penny of silver is to take bribes and pervert the law! Xiaosheng will never sit idly by and watch!"
The magistrate of Yanggu gritted his teeth and said, "How dare you threaten this county?"
Wang Lin smiled lightly: "Let's just talk about the matter and tell the truth. There is no threat. Kill a Ximen Qing to eliminate harm to the people, and the county will gain property and official reputation. No matter how you look at it, it will not be a loss."
