Chapter 97: Dealing with shameless corrupt officials, silencing Zhou Tianci, and blaming the bandits
Following the location given by the jailer, she and he quickly found Qian Qingrong's residence.
This is not a very big yard, not as big as the courtyard she newly built.
From the outside, it is impossible to tell how much money Qian Qingrong has embezzled.
Soon, she found Qian Qingrong's room. This was not difficult because only this room could hear the thunderous snoring.
She walked in easily, only to find the room full of tattered clothes scattered everywhere.
Three white bodies were lying side by side on the bed. The one in the middle was Qian Qingrong, and on both sides were two beautiful women about sixteen or seventeen years old, with many scars on their bodies.
Xiao Ying: "..."
This guy is quite extravagant.
She knocked the three men unconscious first, then she took out a big knife from the fairy palace. It was the knife of the bandits.
When she decided to deal with Qian Qingrong, she had already made up her mind to lead the clues to the group of bandits.
At that time, people would think that Qian Qingrong was being retaliated against for catching bandits, and would not associate it with her, an ordinary village woman.
Of course, if the trial is actually conducted, something will definitely be found to be wrong, and the bandits will definitely deny it vehemently.
But what did that have to do with her? She was just a strong village woman, and the other party had no evidence to identify her.
With a raised hand and a slash of the knife, she stabbed Qian Qingrong in the chest. Blood spurted out immediately, splashing onto the bed and the two women.
Qian Qingrong almost screamed in pain, but fortunately Xiao Ying was quick enough to block his mouth.
Qian Qingrong died on the spot before he even had time to struggle.
After killing this corrupt official, Xiao Ying turned the house upside down and acted like a bandit robbing someone.
Not to mention, she actually found quite a few good things. There were several thousand taels of gold and silver in the secret compartment under the bed alone, as well as tens of thousands of taels of silver notes and various jewels.
There is a similar one in the secret compartment on the wall. The total amount of money in these two places is probably more than 50,000 taels.
Xiao Ying showed no mercy and took them all into the immortal palace.
If you want to get rich, robbing is the fastest way...
But she didn't want to use the money unless it was absolutely necessary. It was either a gift from a wealthy businessman or the people's blood and sweat.
She still prefers what she earns.
After searching these, she didn't go to other rooms. She believed that this scene was enough.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of the two bandits in the prison. If he pretended to break into the prison, the effect would definitely be better.
So she returned to the prison. The jailer she had knocked unconscious was still unconscious. She searched for the key and walked in easily.
The prison was very dark, with only a few oil lamps on. The two jailers who were supposed to be on guard had already fallen asleep on the table, snoring one after another.
Xiao Ying knocked them out directly and took a few steps forward before seeing the two bandits imprisoned in the first cell.
The two and the other prisoners were also fast asleep, but their sleep was not very restful, and some of them were even talking in their sleep.
Xiao Ying casually took out a big knife from the immortal palace, cut the chain with one knife, and threw the knife on the ground.
The crisp sound immediately woke up all the prisoners. Before these people noticed, Xiao Ying quickly left the prison.
"Look, Second in Command! Someone is coming to rescue us!"
When the bandit's younger brother saw the chain on the prison door being broken, he couldn't help but smile and suddenly stood up.
The second in command was shocked. Was it the eldest brother who came to rescue them? But why was he nowhere to be seen? Had the jailer discovered him and already left?
In any case, it shouldn't be this quiet.
But the prison door has been opened and no bailiffs have come to check. If he doesn't escape now, when will he escape?
As for the additional crime of escape, he didn't care at all. The crimes committed by these bandits were worthy of death a hundred times, so why should they worry about one more crime?
"Walk!"
In an instant, the second in command made a decision and slowly stood up while dragging his two legs in severe pain.
On the other side, Xiao Ying had already climbed over the wall and left the county government office, heading towards Zhou Tianci's house.
The Zhou family is a well-known wealthy family in the county, so they live in the best location in the county. Their house occupies half of the street and is easy to find.
She grabbed a night guard and asked him about Zhou Tianci's residence as if he were a yamen runner.
Zhou Tianci lived in a separate courtyard, and Xiao Ying had to go around in circles before finding the place.
Zhou Tianci was the only one on his bed. He seemed to be dreaming and was shouting fiercely that he must kill this damn village woman.
Xiao Ying: "..."
A village woman, huh? A village woman will kill you right now!
A big knife rushed out and instantly stabbed into Zhou Tianci's chest.
Xiao Ying's eyes were cold. Although he had taken revenge, he did not feel much relief.
She also turned Zhou Tianci's house upside down. This man was actually much poorer than Qian Qingrong. She only found a few thousand taels of silver in the house, most of which were banknotes.
Silver notes are difficult to use. If the Zhou family goes to the bank to report the loss, she will be exposed if she uses them.
Of course, the other party might not be able to remember the serial numbers of these banknotes, let alone Qian Qingrong.
In short, be careful.
After completing these two jobs, she left the city, and her steps on the way back were relaxed.
It was already the end of the Yin hour when she got home. Dawn would come in half an hour, so she quickly entered the Immortal Palace to recover her spiritual power.
There are still dozens of corpses in the immortal palace. I have to find an opportunity to deal with them, perhaps while going into the mountains to hunt.
She secretly thought that the county town must be very lively today, but it was a pity that she didn't have time to join in the fun.
…
"ah……"
With a shrill scream, the county government office fell into great panic early in the morning.
Qian Qingrong, the county magistrate of Yun'an County, was hacked to death on his bed, with blood all over the bed!
The news spread like wildfire and spread throughout the entire county in just one morning.
Everyone was shocked. Who was so bold as to sneak into the county government office and kill the county magistrate, an official appointed by the imperial court?
Before everyone could digest the news, another incident came out.
Zhou Tianci, the young master of Manxiang Garden, was also killed in his bed, and his death was exactly the same as that of the county magistrate.
It was also a knife stabbing into the chest, and even the style of the knife was exactly the same.
Not long after, the third piece of news came out: someone actually broke into the prison last night. Two bandits who had just been arrested and imprisoned yesterday were caught when they escaped from the county government office. One of them was holding a big knife.
What’s even more shocking is that the style of this knife is exactly the same as the knife that killed the county magistrate and Zhou Tianci!
Three things that were originally unrelated were connected because of a knife.
It turned out that the bandits from Heifengzhai came to rob the prison because their second-in-command was captured, and they killed the county magistrate and Zhou Tianci to vent their anger.
The two people's rooms were completely turned upside down and all the valuables were looted, which is indeed what bandits do.
As a result, the fact that Zhou Tianci bribed bandits to rob and kill a village woman was also dug up. After all, when Qian Qingrong was brought to court yesterday, many people were watching.
What's worse, even Xiao Ying's identity was leaked.
Although she is just an ordinary woman from a mountain village, she recently developed something called spicy sesame oil and reached a cooperation with Ruyi Restaurant.
When it comes to spicy sesame oil, people have an impression of it. Ruyi Restaurant has been very popular these past two days because of this thing. Even some people from ordinary families saved money to try it.
The taste is indeed unique, fragrant, spicy and delicious.
Here, everything seems clear.
