Empress of Erzhoumu: This plot is wrong!

Chapter 139 Li Xiang Kills, No Evidence Needed

On the other side, Qiao Hongshun has already been promoted.

The county lieutenant had been away for so long and hadn't come back, which made him a little uneasy.

Just when he was about to send someone to Yunwailou to check what happened, the county captain came back.

Behind him, there are two people following.

The county captain saw that he had been promoted, so he took two steps quickly.

"My lord, the man has been brought back."

"Lift--"

Qiao Hongshun raised the gavel in his hand high, but when he saw clearly who was coming.

The body stood up slowly unconsciously, and the last 'Tang' son, the voice was so small that only he could hear it.

Although the visitors appeared to be two young masters on the surface.

But he could tell at a glance that one of the sons looked very similar to His Majesty today.

If it's just that this person looks alike, maybe it's a coincidence, and it's not terrible.

The frightening thing is that the young master standing half a body behind this person is clearly the prime minister of the dynasty——Li Yunsheng!

The identities of those two people are self-evident, and this cannot be a coincidence.

There is only one truth, His Majesty has already arrived in Longxi County for a private visit in micro-service.

In just one meeting, Qiao Hongshun had figured out all the joints.

He hastily put down the gavel in his hand, quickly walked around the desk, and knelt down with a plop.

"Your Majesty, Qiao Hongshun, greet His Majesty."

When he knelt down, all the people in the yamen were stunned.

The county lieutenant walked lightly and bent over to his side.

"grown ups?"

Seeing that his subordinates hadn't reacted yet, Qiao Hongshun said angrily.

"This is today, hurry up and kneel down!"

Hearing this, everyone in the yamen knelt down one by one, not daring to say more.

The county lieutenant only felt that the 50 taels of silver in his hand were like burning coals.

In front of the emperor, I accepted 50 taels of silver from the emperor's close minister...

Not only Qiao Hongshun was surprised, but Li Yunsheng and Jiang Qingying were also surprised.

Qiao Hongshun, former Zhongshu Provincial Zhongshu Sheren, a staunch member of the Fei Party.

Of course, before the Empress ascended the throne, she was seized by Li Dang and reported to the imperial court.

In the end, the demoted official became a county magistrate.

If Fei Su hadn't played around, Qiao Hongshun would have been dismissed immediately.

Of course, he didn't wait for Fei Su's victory, because Fei Su was already dead.

And he, the former Fei party member, also lost the possibility of making a comeback.

He could only guard this small Longxi County and try his best to curry favor with his boss.

Otherwise, if the higher-ups are not happy one day, they can remove him as the county magistrate at any time.

After all, there is no Fei Party now, and the situation in the court has changed drastically, leaving only the Royalist Party of Li Party and Liu Chengyi.

Because too much time has passed, and it was only known that Qiao Hongshun was demoted to the county magistrate.

Therefore, when they learned from the bandits that the magistrate of Longxi County was named Qiao, neither Li Yunsheng nor Jiang Qingying thought much about it.

With a cold face, Jiang Qingying sat down in the main seat without looking at him.

He waited until Li Yunsheng, who was following her, stood still beside her, before speaking.

"The county lieutenant told me just now that someone reported that Li Qing and I killed two people and asked us to come to the yamen."

Snapped!
With a slap of the gavel, she stared at Qiao Hongshun who was kneeling on the ground and asked.

"Here I am, what do you want to ask Magistrate Qiao?"

Originally, she wanted to listen to what Li Yunsheng had to say, so let's not deal with this matter for now.

But people came to her door, she thought it would be impossible to ignore it.

Qiao Hongshun hurriedly explained.

"I dare not, this is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

"Where is the whistleblower, bring it here for me to see."

"The whistleblower—"

Qiao Hongshun was at a loss for words for a moment, where did he find the informant, but it was Xie Qing who sent someone to report.

"The person who reported it has been verified. It is a false accusation made by a rascal, and he has been kicked out of the government office by the lower officials."

Originally, he wanted to bring someone to the Yamen, and ask a few questions on the sidelines to see how much the other party knew.

It's good now, and directly arrest His Majesty.

Fortunately, the county captain invited people back to the yamen, not escorted them back to the yamen.

Otherwise, don't say you can't keep the officials, you can't even keep your own head.

"Okay, then I will be the informant, and the two people who reported were killed by Li Qing himself."

Qiao Hongshun's heart skipped a beat, he raised his head slightly, and looked at Li Yunsheng from the corner of his eye.

Li Yunsheng said.

"Those two people are bandits in the mountains, so the truth is to eliminate harm for the people."

Hearing the word "bandit", Qiao Hongshun trembled, and quickly flattered him.

"Li Xiang is killing harm for the people, good job!"

Jiang Qingying was not happy anymore.

"Magistrate Qiao didn't even send anyone to search for evidence to confirm whether those two people are bandits, and just close the case like this?"

"Li Xiang murdered without evidence."

"what?"

"No, what I mean is that Li Xiang is the pillar of the country, and he will never do anything against the law."

The county lieutenant who was kneeling by the side was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder were torn apart. There were only two words buzzing in his mind: Li Xiang.

Although he has never been to the capital, he still knows how many Li Xiangs there are in Da Chu, and there is only one!
He had just taken 50 taels of silver from the prime minister, and thinking of this, he couldn't support his body anymore.

With a plop, he fell headlong and lay on the ground.

Jiang Qingying ignored the county lieutenant who was lying on the ground. Since she came to the county government, she didn't intend to make things easy.

"Then Li Qing said that you colluded with the bandits, can I just put you in prison!"

Qiao Hongshun's head kept knocking on the ground, making loud bangs.

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged, I hope Your Majesty will find out!"

"Come here, take off Qiao Hongshun's hat and put him in prison."

On the side, Li Yunsheng's eyes narrowed slightly, the empress was too impulsive.

Jiang Qingying slapped the gavel angrily: "Do you all want to resist the decree?"

The servant hurriedly stood up tremblingly and walked to Qiao Hongshun's side.

"grown ups……"

Qiao Hongshun raised his head, struggling for the last time.

"Your Majesty, the minister is wronged, the minister is wronged!"

Jiang Qingying stood up, pointed at Qiao Hongshun and reprimanded angrily.

"Even the people in Qingshan Town say that there are bandits nearby all the time, so don't you, a county official, not know about it?

I won't kill you now, so as not to say that I wronged you.

When I send people to wipe out those bandits, there will be plenty of evidence. "

After speaking, he waved his hand.

"Put him in jail!"

Having said all this, Qiao Hongshun could already guess his own ending.

His Majesty probably knows the truth, when Xie Qing is wiped out, no matter whether there is evidence or not, it will be his death date.

Ever since the Empress wanted to put Qiao Hongshun in prison, he had activated his innate skills and kept his eyes on Qiao Hongshun.

"Is the magistrate of Longxi County here?"

An old man with gray hair who was kneeling on the ground respectfully said.

"The magistrate of Chenlongxi County, Meng Delin."

"You act as the magistrate of Longxi County temporarily."

"The minister obeys the order!"

Jiang Qingying turned to look at Li Yunsheng, and said in a low voice.

"Let's go."

Unexpectedly, Li Yunsheng shook his head slightly, but he was not in a hurry to leave.

He walked up to the county lieutenant, bent down, and hooked his fingers.

The county lieutenant immediately understood, quickly took out 50 taels of silver from his sleeve, and offered it with both hands.

"The villain has no eyes, please forgive me, Li Xiang."

Li Yunsheng didn't pick it up immediately, but asked.

"I just gave you 100 taels, but you returned 50 taels.

What, you still want to be greedy for the real money? "

The four yamen servants behind him looked at each other in blank dismay, Li Xiang is really dark!
The county lieutenant gritted his teeth, with tears in his eyes.

"The 50 taels, I forgot at home, I will send someone to get it now."

In this poor and remote place, he spent half his life saving 50 taels.

When he thought that he was about to hand it over to someone else, his heart ached.

Li Yunsheng took the silver and said in a low voice.

"Lead the way ahead. Your Majesty has a few words to discuss with County Magistrate Qiao alone."

The county lieutenant came back to his senses, wiped away his tears, stood up quickly and bowed.

"Your Majesty, please come with me."

Jiang Qingying came down, stood beside Li Yunsheng and asked in a low voice.

"What do you want to do again?"

Li Yunsheng only replied two words.

"kill."
