The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 652 Damn But Not Dead?

When Jiang Chuan led his people to the magistrate's yamen, he saw two iron eagle warriors and the corpses of other servant girls whose necks were pinched by fake Wang Ke.

"Who did it?" Jiang Chuan glanced at the wounds on the corpses of the two Iron Eagle Warriors and said, "They were all attacked by surprise. They are masters."

The rest of the people briefly talked about the matter, Jiang Chuan thought about it, and got some clues in his heart.

"Continue to seal the city gate, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without an order." Jiang Chuan turned his head and ordered.

Ji Biao sent people to send orders to the local garrison, while Jiang Chuan led people into the Houya and saw Wang Ke who was unconscious.

Jiang Chuan picked up Wang Ke's hand and looked at it, then said to Xu Qinglang who was behind him with a livid face, "Look, is this the prefect of Jeju you have seen?"

Xu Qinglang stepped forward to look at it carefully for a moment and said affirmatively: "Although they look alike, they are definitely not alone."

Jiang Chuan nodded and said, "Wake him up, and the answer will be there."

Xu Qinglang was simple and rude, brought a plate of water and poured it on Wang Ke's head. After a while, Wang Ke woke up leisurely and looked at the group of people in front of him in confusion.

"Tell me, who are you, and who is posing as you?" Jiang Chuan asked slowly, sitting on a chair brought by Ji Biao.

Wang Ke looked at the majestic young man in front of him in confusion, and asked hesitantly, "Who are you?"

"I'm Jiang Chuan."

Wang Ke is still a little confused. He has been imprisoned for three years and knows nothing about the current situation in the world, and naturally he doesn't know who Jiang Chuan is.

Jiang Chuan didn't know how to explain, and finally said: "I represent the imperial court, you can say anything you have."

Wang Ke was skeptical, but in the end he confessed everything.

"Qin Mu? Are you saying that your sworn brother imprisoned you for three years, and that he impersonated you as magistrate for three years?" After hearing this, Jiang Chuan felt very absurd.

"Didn't any of your family and friends come to see you in the past three years? It's impossible for him to handle it every time, right?" Jiang Chuan asked.

"All my family members have passed away long ago, and I don't have many friends. I have talked with Qin Mu before, and he knows my affairs very well. Even if old and old friends come to visit occasionally, he can handle it. Yes Yes, he also read a lot of books when he was a teenager. It’s only because of my ignorance that I ended up like this.”

Wang Ke sighed.

"Is he very skilled in martial arts?" Jiang Chuan asked after thinking about it.

"I met a group of vicious robbers on the way to Beijing to rush for the exam. Many people with me were killed. In the end, he suddenly came out and killed several robber leaders, and the robbers retreated in fear. He told me He grew up with a crippled old man and learned martial arts from him. I don’t know what he went through these years, and finally I don’t know him at all.”

In Wang Ke's words, there seemed to be a sense of regret for Qin Mu.

"Can you draw his portrait?" Jiang Chuan asked.

"Yes. But he is very good at disguise, even if there is a portrait, it may not be possible to catch him." Wang Ke said.

"I can catch him naturally after you draw it." Jiang Chuan said indifferently.

Wang Ke didn't say much anymore, he felt a strong coercion from the young man in front of him, and what he said made people dare not easily go against it.

The study room has its own pen, ink, paper and inkstone. As a Jinshi back then, Danqing had to master the basic skills.

Soon after the portrait was finished, Jiang Chuan glanced at it, his heart moved, and then handed it over to Xu Qinglang who was beside him.

Then, he turned his head to look at Wang Ke and asked: "He imprisoned you for three years, but he didn't kill you. He could have killed you before he left, so that no one would know his true identity. Why didn't he do that? why?"

Wang Ke was stunned, and looked at Jiang Chuan with a blank expression.

Jiang Chuan also looked at him, and after a while Jiang Chuan got up and said: "You rest and recuperate first, the crime you should have won't escape."

With a wave of their hands, two iron eagle warriors walked out with a dazed Wang Ke on their shoulders.

"Think about it, why didn't that Qin Mu kill Wang Ke to silence him? This is very unreasonable." Jiang Chuan looked at Ji Biao and Xu Qinglang and asked.

Ji Biao frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "Although this person is bold, he may really be a person of great affection, that's why he didn't kill Wang Ke."

Jiang Chuan remained silent and looked at Xu Qinglang.

Xu Qinglang was extremely depressed, feeling that he had lost all the face he could lose in the past few days, and all of them were in front of the regent.

Although it seemed that he was not to blame for what happened today, in the final analysis it was his own carelessness.

He knew that Jiang Chuan was asking him now to give him his last chance.If I can't perform well this time, then my future is really completely over.

"The subordinates believe that the reason why Qin Mu didn't kill Wang Ke was not because he valued love and righteousness. If he really valued love and righteousness, then he wouldn't have imprisoned his sworn brother for three years just to make money. He didn't kill Wang Ke. Wang Ke, it is very likely that he has a reason not to kill him."

"Then what is the reason?" Jiang Chuan asked.

"This subordinate thinks that the relationship between these two people is not just the sworn brotherhood that Wang Ke said, there must be a more important relationship, but the subordinate does not know yet." Xu Qinglang said in a deep voice.

"Okay, send people down to post notices throughout the city that Wang Ke, the magistrate of Jeju, colluded with bandits, corrupted the law, and neglected human life. The crime is unforgivable. Three days later, he will be executed at the entrance of Caishi. In addition, Ma Bangde of Jeju will be promoted to the prefect of Jeju."

Jiang Chuan nodded and said.

Ji Biao and Xu Qinglang looked at each other in blank dismay, completely confused about what happened.

Shouldn't it be that Ma Bangde was beheaded and Wang Ke survived?How is this the other way around?

Jiang Chuan didn't explain, just said: "Just follow this."

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Qinglang finally came back to his senses, and accepted the order in a deep voice.

Jiang Chuan turned to Ji Biao again and said, "In the past few days, you have taken the local garrison to clean up all the rats and cockroaches in the city. Those who should be killed and those who should be caught will not be able to run away without a broom. dropped."

"Heibingtai will find out all the unclean butts in this yamen. If there are not enough people, I will transfer you as much as you want. No matter who is involved, it doesn't matter even if several yamen in Jeju are empty. .”

After Jiang Chuan finished speaking, he turned to look at Xu Qinglang.

Xu Qinglang did not expect that Jiang Chuan not only did not punish him, but continued to entrust him with important tasks. He felt grateful, his nose soured, and he knelt down on one knee and said, "Young master, this subordinate is so heartbroken that I will die."

Jiang Chuan helped him up and smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter if you make mistakes. I will give opportunities to those who do things sincerely. If you don't do things, you won't make mistakes, and if you do things, you will make mistakes. Just do it boldly."

Xu Qinglang burst into tears, moved his lips and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, just knocked his head on the ground three times, got up and left.

There is a fire in his heart now, which makes him feel that his limbs are full of strength.
