Gu Fei led Da Hei away without looking at the royal guards from beginning to end.
Ji Baihu looked at his distant back and suddenly asked.
"Who is this man?"
Fu Qi said faintly, "it's just a country man."
Ji Baihu saw that he had no intention to say more, so he didn't ask again. It's important to do business now.
He rushed directly into the county government with the royal guards.
The Yamen constables tried to obstruct.
"Who are you? This is an important place of the county government. No one is allowed to enter. Get out quickly! "
Tong en said in a loud voice: "the royal guards handle the case. Get away from all the people, or don't blame us for being merciless!"
When they heard the three words of royal guards, those yamen constables were immediately frightened. They didn't dare to say one more word. They hid beside them honestly and were as quiet as a chicken.
The martial Master heard a report that a large number of royal guards rushed into the county government. Immediately, he changed his face and hurried to find the county magistrate.
Xie Qingquan was preparing to have lunch with his family. As soon as the meal was served, he saw the master running in in a hurry and shouted, "no! The royal guards are coming! "
"What?!" Xie Qingquan suddenly got up and his face changed greatly.
Tang Shi also stood up. Even if she was only a woman, she had heard of the reputation of the royal guards.
She asked, "well, why did royal guards suddenly come to us?"
Others don't know, but Xie Qingquan can guess that maybe the royal guards came for Xu Jinhe's case.
Xie Zijun looked at his father and asked anxiously, "Dad, are you okay?"
Xie Qingquan took a deep breath, then slowly spit it out, tried to suppress the tension and uneasiness in his heart, and said, "I'll go out and have a look. You stay here honestly and don't go anywhere."
He hurried away with his master, leaving Tang and Xie Zijun sitting at the dinner table. Facing the delicious food on the table, the mother and son had no appetite, and their hearts were full of worry.
As soon as Xie Qingquan came out of the backyard, he met Ji Baihu and Fu Qi head-on.
Ji Baihu took the lead in saying, "are you Xie Qingquan, the magistrate of Jiuqu county?"
Xie Qingquan has seen from the other party's official clothes that the other party is a hundred families. The official residence is from six grades, which is much higher than his nine grade county magistrate.
He immediately bowed and saluted: "my lower official paid a visit to Baihu adults. I don't know if Baihu adults are coming. What advice do you have?"
Ji Baihu smiled: "I'm looking for you to handle a case. Do you know Xu Jinhe?"
"Yes, he is a local teacher."
"He died and was killed at home."
Xie Qingquan looked surprised: "how could it? When did it happen? "
Ji Baihu looked at him up and down: "you don't seem to know?"
"I haven't seen Xu Ju for a long time. Of course, I don't know how he has been lately."
"But I heard that you sent a letter to Xu Jinhe two days ago. You should have a close relationship?"
Xie Qingquan quickly denied: "it's not very close. Before, because I appreciated Xu Juren's talent, I personally taught Xu Juren for a period of time. I treated him as half a student. Unfortunately, he was paralyzed and couldn't continue to take part in the imperial examination. He seldom went out of his family at ordinary times, and the contact between the lower officials and him gradually faded. "
Most of what he said is true. He is not afraid of royal guards to check.
Ji Baihu walked up to him and asked with a smile, "did you ask someone to send a letter to Xu Jinhe two days ago?"
Xie Qingquan's forehead burst into a cold sweat, and his voice trembled with tension.
"Yes, I did send him a letter before, because someone came to report Xu Ju's murder. I wanted to ask Xu Ju whether it was true? If it is true, I can only enforce the law impartially and arrest Xu Ju. But if Xu Ju is wronged, I will naturally try to give him justice. "
Ji Baihu asked, "don't you know it's against the rules?"
"The lower official regarded Xu Ju as half a student. It seems that he really can't bear to see him locked up in prison after paralysis, so he wants to make an exception and give him a chance to confess and be lenient. But Lord Baihu is right. It is indeed a mistake of the lower officer. The lower officer is willing to receive punishment! "
Ji Baihu thought that the little county magistrate was more slippery than he expected. In a few words, he turned his crime of favoritism into a deep love between teachers and students.
He looked back at Fu Qi and asked, "Shizi, where's the letter?"
Fu Qi took out Xu Jinhe's reply from his sleeve.
Ji Baihu took the letter, took out the letter paper, opened it, read the content, then handed the letter paper to Xie Qingquan and motioned him to have a look.
Xie Qingquan raised his head. When he saw the contents of the letter, his body shook involuntarily.
But soon he stabilized his figure and explained, "I've never seen this letter. I don't know about it. Please pay attention to it!"
Ji Baihu said, "whether you know it or not, this matter is related to you. Please come with us before the case is found out."
Hearing this, Xie Qingquan's face suddenly turned white.
Since the establishment of royal guards, all officials taken away by royal guards have been tortured to death.
Xie Qingquan said hurriedly, "this matter really has nothing to do with the junior officer. Please be merciful and put down the official!"
Ji Baihu had no intention of talking to him and made a gesture.
Immediately, two royal guards came forward and grabbed Xie Qingquan from left to right.
Xie Qingquan shouted injustice!
But it didn't work.
No one can save him.
Shiye saw this and wanted to sneak away.
Unfortunately, before he went out for two steps, an embroidered spring knife was pasted on his neck.
Tong en said coldly, "either follow us honestly, or drop your head on the spot. Choose for yourself."
The martial master was so frightened that his legs softened, fell to the ground and cried, "it has nothing to do with me. I'm just a martial master. I don't know anything. Please forgive me!"
Tong en was annoyed with him and knocked him out directly.
In the whole Qiuyang mansion, only Fucheng has a guard station, but Jiuqu county is far away from Fucheng. Ji Baihu is too lazy to run back and forth. He directly requisitioned the cell of the County Yamen and locked Xie Qingquan and shiye in.
As for other people in the county government, they are also closely supervised by the royal guards.
Including Tang and Xie Zijun.
The mother and son are under house arrest in the backyard and are not allowed to go out or meet outsiders. They don't know what happened to Xie Qingquan. They can only pray in their hearts that Xie Qingquan will be safe.
At this time, Gu Fei had bought food and bought some fresh ingredients.
He put two large bags of grain on the gray donkey's back, and then rode a big black horse to his house.
Perhaps it's the obscene power photographed by Da Hei. The gray donkey can honestly follow Da Hei without rope traction.
