The Face Slapping Came So Quickly!
That's right!
Surrounded by the county government officers, he was taking the blame for others.
As for who that person was?
Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong's faces darkened. It was the thief they had just fought.
I'm not afraid of being the scapegoat
No, wait.
To be precise, who would dare to make them take the blame?
Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong snorted and their faces turned pale. They had been beaten up by Qin Feng just now and had been holding back their anger. If they were in Chang 'an, would these soldiers dare to surround them? At this moment, the two of them had already beaten this group of people until they cried for their parents.
But now, even though he was angry, he still had to listen to His Majesty's orders.
Li Shi Min was very calm.
He was quite open-minded about this matter. The person who had really killed Liu Siyuan had left, but they had coincidentally appeared here with weapons in their hands. If the soldiers did not come to arrest them, who else would they arrest?!
It was understandable.
However, he naturally would not choose to be sent to prison by these soldiers. There was also a way to solve it. He just needed to prove his identity.
Li Shimin looked at Cheng Yaojin and ordered,""Show it to them."
Cheng Yaojin received the order and took out a waist token from his waist.
This waist token was the Shadow Guard waist token that Li Shiming had given him. With this waist token in hand, he could prove his identity.
"Look, this is the token of the Shadow Guard. Open your eyes and take a look. We are from the Imperial Court and are only here for a private visit!”
Hearing this,
The leader of the soldiers reached out and took it. He held it up and down in his hand and carefully observed it. With a click, he threw the token on the ground and coldly snorted."What Shadow Guard? Nonsense! I've never heard of it!"
As he spoke,
He waved his hand and said to his subordinates behind him,
"Assassinating the county magistrate, the evidence is conclusive!"
"Go! Capture them!"
Seeing this scene, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong's faces turned ashen. They couldn't help but curse,"
"The real murderer has already escaped. How dare he capture us now?”
"You have eyes but can't see. You're really trash!”
"Old Cheng has such a bad temper!"
The more Cheng Yaojin spoke, the angrier he became. He waved his fists and wanted to attack.
"Wait, wait, wait!"
Fang Xuanling quickly stopped him. He thought for a moment and explained in a low voice,"In the border of River Province, there are not many people who recognize the Shadow Guard token. Perhaps these soldiers really don't recognize it.”
"How did Liu Siyuan recognize him?" Cheng Yaojin frowned.
"As far as I know, this Liu Siyuan used to be in the army before he abandoned martial arts and became the county magistrate of Qingyang City." Fang Xuanling continued to explain.”
Cheng Yaojin understood.
The Shadow Guards of the Emperor were scattered throughout the Great Tang, but one of their most important duties was to supervise the generals of the various armies. However, they were only responsible for supervising and writing reports to the Emperor, not participating in military operations.
In that case, Fang Xuanling's words made sense.
So Cheng Yaojin glared at these officers and soldiers, rummaged through his clothes, and finally took out a token. He handed this token to the officer and said,""Take a good look. Do you still recognize this token?”
"Is this the order of the commandant of the Hezhou border army?”
"Greetings, General!"
When the officers and soldiers saw the token, they put away their weapons and bowed.
"Sure, Old Cheng, since when did you have a border army captain token on you?”Yuchi Gong asked with a smile.
"This token belongs to my brat. When he left, he accidentally brought it out. I thought it was useless, but I didn't expect it to be used today.”
Cheng Yaojin grinned.
However, when he turned around, he glared fiercely at the government officers and snorted coldly."Hurry up and open the way. Let's go and see the county magistrate, Liu Siyuan!”
As he spoke, he kicked the leader to the ground and said angrily,"You don't have any sense at all!"
At this moment,
Li Shi Min saw that the matter of taking the blame had been clarified, so he took the lead and walked into the mansion.
......
Everyone arrived at the county magistrate's manor.
Li Shimin frowned as he stepped into the mansion. The mansion was in a dilapidated state, and even the walls were peeling. It seemed like it had never been repaired.
"Look at the appearance of this county government mansion. You can also see that Liu Siyuan is definitely not a person who is greedy for pleasure."
"Are you looking at this pavilion? Oh, there are no pavilions here. There are only a few corridors. I can't even bear to hang a few lanterns."
"Your Majesty, from this, we can see that Liu Siyuan is undoubtedly an upright official!”
"It's a pity that the thief broke into the residence at night with a weapon and killed him!”
"It's a pity that this person is so thrifty. He must be a pillar of the country who is thrifty and loves the people."
"What a pity, what a pity, what a pity!"
Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong pointed as they walked.
Finally,
They came to the study.
Seeing Liu Siyuan lying dead on the ground, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong gritted their teeth and said,""Such a thief is too vicious, he actually caused Lord Liu to die in such a miserable manner."
"This thief is really…"
Sigh! Wait a minute!
When they were about to say that the thief was too hateful, they found a lot of gold and silver scattered around the dead Liu Siyuan as they got closer. Moreover, there were even more packages on the desk.
As for the floor, the floor tiles had been pried open.
It was obvious that Liu Siyuan had hidden the gold and silver under the floor tiles before. Tonight, he took them out and put them in the package.
Li Shi Min looked back at the two of them, his eyes seemingly saying,"Is this the honest official you were talking about?”
Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong's faces were flushed red. They had just praised Lord Liu for being an upright official.
Now this scene
Sigh!
This face…
It hurt! It was burning!
