Marry a powerful minister and remain a widow?I’m done with the book-wearing female role!

Xie Zhao's men arrived and instantly subdued the men brought by Cao Zhixian, and the situation was brought under control.

With the help of the people from Zhaijia Village, Cao Zhixian, who had been arrogant just now, saw that the situation was over and decided to sacrifice his brother-in-law to heaven. He cried: "Thank you, sir. I listened to Shi You's slander and was blinded by lard for a while. Please thank you, sir." Give me a chance!"

Without waiting for Shi You to quibble, Cao Zhixian couldn't wait to reveal the truth. Shi You was the real murderer of Miss Xu!

"It's not just Shi You, but also the steward and servants of the Shi family..."

Cao Zhixian worked hard to make money and had no interest in beauty, so he did not participate.

Xie Zhao glanced at Manager Cao and asked with some interest: "Then how do you explain tonight's battle?"

"Thank you, Sir, the misunderstanding is all a misunderstanding!"

Cao Zhixian was so shocked that he hesitated for a long time and was speechless.

He was clear in his heart. If he couldn't take it out, he would wear the black gauze hat to the end.

Xie Zhao was an imperial envoy who passed through Ruyang to transport grain and grass.

As long as Cao Zhixian can fool him with words, bring out the scapegoat, give him some kind words, and bribe him with some money, he might still have a chance to stand up.

In the light of the lights, Xie Zhao looked indifferent, and there seemed to be fire burning in his eyes.

Cao Zhixian's pupils shrank, and he made up his mind to fight to the end, so he opened his eyes and told lies: "The official came to Zhaijia Village to discuss compensation with the villagers."

Cao Zhixian completely denied the destruction of corpses and tried to make amends for himself in many ways.

The villagers looked at this scene with cold eyes and couldn't help but feel ironic.

Magistrate Cao, who used to be arrogant and quick to accuse, was like a pug wagging his tail in front of Mr. Xie, showing all kinds of ugliness.

In the dark night, the surrounding torches formed fire dragons.

Xie Zhao's expression was bright and dim, his ink-like eyes showed no trace of waves, like an invisible black net, covering Cao Zhixian's body heavily.

"Thank you, sir, I will be lowered..."

Cao Zhixian was lying on the ground, as if he was trapped, unable to struggle, and didn't understand why he was so scared.

Despite this, Cao Zhixian put his hands on the ground and tried not to tremble so much: "Thank you, Sir, Ruyang is building and expanding official roads. Master Liu, the prefect of Pingcheng, has given a deadline. As a parent official of Ruyang, I dare not disobey Master Liu." , it is really a helpless move.”

"What I said before was to scare the people of Zhaijia Village to move as soon as possible and compensate them."

I heard that Mr. Liu, the prefect of Pingcheng, and Chief Wei Wei were classmates and had connections in the capital. Magistrate Cao deliberately brought it up to tell Xie Zhao not to act rashly.

Cao Zhixian is a subordinate of Mr. Liu, and in disguise he is equivalent to the chief minister of Wei.

"Cao Lian, you are about to die, how dare you use a small prefect to suppress me?"

In the officialdom, officials work together to protect each other, and Xie Zhao is well versed in this.

Unexpectedly, in Ruyang, he was secretly threatened by a Zhima official.

"Cao Lian, you have been the county magistrate in Ruyang for more than ten years. The people have lived in fear and fear for a day. In the fish and meat village, you plundered people's fat and killed people. All your crimes are well-documented. Death is not a pity. Has the officer ever wronged you?"

At the end of the sentence, Xie Zhao's voice turned cold, and his eyes were filled with a chilling air.

"Liang'an, please Shang Fang's sword!"

When Shang Fang's sword arrives, he will punish the traitors according to the law, just like the emperor himself!

Xie Zhao was holding a sword in his hand, with bulging veins on the back of his hand. His eyebrows were even more beautiful under the light, and his eyes revealed absolute indifference and murderous intent.

The blood all over Cao Zhixian's body seemed to have solidified, and his soul trembled: "Xie Zhao, you can't kill me!"

Cao Zhixian rolled around on the ground and was about to be hit by a carp. He didn't even finish the second half of his sentence. After a flash of silver light, his head fell to the ground.

Xie Zhao was standing high, and his light robe was not stained with any dirty blood.

When Shi You saw this scene, he was so frightened that he peed his pants, his upper lip touched his lower lip, and he was trembling and unable to say a word.

Liang'an held Shi You down and took off his shirt, revealing the conspicuous scratches on his back.

After checking it, Jiang Yuzhu confirmed: "It is consistent with the vague flesh and blood remaining in the gap between Miss Xu's fingers."

Cao Lian lost his head, but Xie Zhao did nothing else.

Jiang Yuzhu vaguely understood that Shi You had no official status and would not use Shang Fang's sword.

The people who were watching were so excited by the scene before them that they were all shocked and speechless.

After they came to their senses, everyone cheered and said: "The dog official is dead, thank you for being so noble and making decisions for our people!"

The women in the village cried: "With Sir Xie here, Miss Xu will not die inexplicably, and her injustice will be avenged!"

After killing Cao Lian, there will be a lot of trouble in the future.

Xie Zhao went to Ruyang Yamen overnight and started rectification based on the clues provided by the people.

Nine out of ten of the government servants left behind by Cao Zhixian were his lackeys and committed many evil deeds.

All the evil-doing government officials were put in cells, and a group of poor people who had been imprisoned for no reason for offending Cao Zhixian were released from the cells.

There were merchants and ordinary people among them, and they couldn't afford to kneel down. They just wanted to express their gratitude to Mr. Xie in this way.

Hong Li and several maids followed a group of people to raid Cao's house, which was an eye-opener.

"Madam, corals that are rare in the capital are just ordinary ornaments in the Cao Mansion!"

"You don't know that the bed that Cao Zhixian sleeps on has solid gold at the base!"

Several maids marveled, and even Jiang Yuzhu couldn't believe it. She casually looked through the account books of Fugui Building and found that a mere county magistrate had accumulated more wealth over the years than even a second-grade Beijing official.

The magistrate of Cao County was beheaded, and the people of Ruyang rushed to tell each other.

While everyone was happy, they were also deeply worried.

There is a magistrate in Cao County. They have become frightened. They are very afraid that another bad official will come and the people of Ruyang will be plunged into dire straits again.

"Madam, there are people complaining at the gate of the Yamen. Most of them come because of life lawsuits."

After Hong Jin asked about the whole story, she felt very uncomfortable.

There are some poor poor people whose relatives have been beaten to death unjustly, and grass grows on their graves.

"Shi You relied on Magistrate Cao as his backing, and a dozen girls from good families were kidnapped in the back house."

Now these girls have been ruined and cannot survive even if they are rescued. They are looking for death and survival.

It can be said that the crimes committed by Magistrate Cao and his minions are too numerous to describe.

Jiang Yuzhu frowned in thought, and then asked, "Where are those girls?"

"Temporarily placed in the back house of the Yamen, waiting for relatives to pick him up."

It had been two hours, the news had already spread, and very few people came to pick them up.

Hongjin's face was full of pity, and she explained: "Madam, most of them are girls from ordinary people's families. Their families are not rich. A large family includes not only parents, but also brothers, sisters-in-law, etc. Once they are taken back, there will be more If you open your mouth, you can only eat and drink at your parents' house..."

When there are many family members, the hearts are not in harmony.

When picking someone up, the family must consider the livelihood of the whole family.

Although kind-hearted people will sympathize with the suffering woman, they still can't help but talk behind her back.
