Chapter 43 The case of the Tibetan ambassador is solved

"Pei Dudu?!"

Seeing Pei Sijian walking into the Guzang County Office, Li Yan followed closely behind, Cui County Magistrate's eyelids twitched slightly, and hurried up to greet him respectfully.

Pei Sijian's face was as usual, and there was nothing unusual: "Magistrate Cui, last night the thieves went berserk and attacked the inner guards. Fortunately, Li Wuwei turned the tide and asked for the list of secret spies. This time, the interrogation should be handled in the county government!"

County Magistrate Cui showed joy when he heard the words: "Thank you for cultivating, Commander!"

Pei Sijian took care and said: "The number of secret spies is huge this time, and the prisons of the county government will be very difficult. You must arrange them properly, and nothing will go wrong!"

Cui County Magistrate responded seriously: "I will never disgrace my life as an official!"

Pei Sijian nodded, and seemed to ask casually: "How is your investigation of the Tubo Nianzheng envoy's case going?"

The county magistrate Cui immediately showed shame on his face: "Report to the governor, the subordinate is incompetent, and I still have no clue."

"There is no need to belittle yourself. After all, you have been in Liangzhou for less than three months. When encountering such suspicious cases, there are many changes and it is normal for you to be unable to respond in time."

Pei Sijian waved her hands, and turned to a heart-to-heart attitude: "Are you in your forties?"

County magistrate Cui was flattered, and replied: "The governor is worried about it, and the subordinate officials have wasted forty years of time, so I am ashamed of my name!"

Pei Sijian asked: "You were born in Juming Jing, which year?"

Cui county magistrate replied: "Yonghui two years."

Pei Sijian was a little surprised: "At the age of the weak crown, you can understand the scriptures and rank, and you are so talented!"

County magistrate Cui was slightly complacent: "The governor is absurd!"

In this era, Ming Jing Ke has a high gold content.

After all, there are an average of [-] students in each department of the Jinshi Department, and there are not many people in the Mingjing Department, only about [-] or [-] people.

Those who can pass the exam are all the proud sons of the sky who have been washed by the waves. If they are still young, it will be even more powerful.

Pei Sijian nodded, her tone was calm: "Quoting scriptures and studying classics, since such a background, how could he go so far as to lose his conscience and poison children?"

Magistrate Cui was stunned, with an uncontrollable panic on his face.

Not dazed, but terrified.

This kind of reaction is more direct than any interrogation.

Li Yan thought secretly on the side.

This kind of interrogation strategy of suppressing desires before raising them is nothing, but Pei Sijian's expression and tone are very natural, first let down the other party's vigilance, and then suddenly attack.

The most important thing is that what he asked was not about the murder of the Tubo ambassador, but about the murder of buttermilk in the school that had not yet happened.

County magistrate Cui was caught off guard and immediately revealed his flaws.

His face changed drastically, and he subconsciously shrank his hands into his sleeves.

But the next moment, Magistrate Cui's body froze and he didn't dare to move.

Because of Li Yan's angry eyes, he locked on him fiercely.

He was locked on by a terrifying killing intent, and he had no doubt that if he dared to make any more moves, his entire arm would be broken at the shoulder.

Pei Sijian turned a blind eye to this, showing absolute confidence in Li Yan, and at the same time said in a flat tone: "Zhu Fan has not forgotten the internal guards. The saint just planned to restore the internal guards system, so he conceived this plan."

"I promoted you to Bianzhou in an attempt to poison the gentleman of the gentry, with the purpose of inflicting heavy blows on the inner guard."

"The former Zhao Guogong once used the inner guard to control the court. The selection of the inner guard can skip the official department. Even the three provinces can't control it. Many people in the court do not want the inner guard to be re-established. If the teacher is unfavorable, it is considered a sage. With determination, resistance will also increase significantly.”

"Constraints up and down, a lot of interference, when the inner guard is actually formed, I don't know when it will be."

Pei Sijian really dared to say that although he rejected Qiu Ying's request to return to the inner guard, he had deep feelings for the inner guard, and his tone gradually turned cold.

After hearing this analysis, Li Yan admired him in his heart.

His vision in this area is not enough, and he did not start from the court structure.

Before, it was strange that it was Xiao Ling first, and then the county magistrate Cui, how the traitors in the Tang Dynasty caught up with him.

It was only then that she realized that since Qiu Ying appeared in Liangzhou, a turbulent situation had been brewing.

Magistrate Cui's expression calmed down, he straightened his back, and gradually became arrogant.

He knew he was doomed.

Rather than making a humble gesture again, it is better to go through the last moment of life with high spirits.

Seeing his appearance, Pei Sijian frowned secretly, and her tone became gentle again: "As the Ming Dynasty, you protect the family and the people, and stabilize the side. You are the parents and officials of the people in a place. Why do you become a thief and lackey?"

"You asked me why? Haha, didn't I already answer it just now? You are a dignified third-rank official, why pretend you don't know!"

County magistrate Cui laughed loudly: "At the age of weak crown, I was promoted by Mingjing. I can be called a proud boy, but I was selected by the Ministry of officials for a full ten years before I finally released the brown state sentence. Why! It's because I was born in Huzhou , parents died early, no clan support, no favors!!"

His voice was full of resentment and unwillingness: "I have become a Tibetan thief? Bah, without the help of Tibetans, I am still a small state judge, humble and angry, how can I come from Shangxian Mingfu, who is so majestic? "

Pei Sijian wasn't too surprised: "So, you have long held grudges against the imperial court?"

County magistrate Cui scolded directly: "Old man, don't you find it ridiculous to ask such words? If you are not from a noble family, your current official status may not be as high as mine!"

Pei Sijian was not angry, and sighed leisurely: "I just didn't expect that Jiangnan Road would be like this..."

County Magistrate Cui snorted coldly: "I have nothing to do with Jiangnan Dao. Doesn't anyone here in Longyou suffer from injustice?"

Pei Sijian said: "Wu Dewei Xiao Ling was confirmed to be bribed by the Tibetans to assassinate Qiu Ying, the leader of the Cabinet of Internal Guards. Do you know what will happen next?"

County Magistrate Cui's complexion changed drastically: "Xiao Ling betrayed?"

Li Yan frowned upon hearing this.

Pei Sijian's pupils shrank slightly, and she sighed, "Xiao Ling is from the Lanling Xiao family, and you are from Huzhou, but they all defected to Tubo."

"You just expressed resentment, and you are quite dissatisfied with the selection of officials. Is this attitude an exception, or is it a common idea?"

"It's a pity, since the Hou Jing Rebellion, the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River who haven't recovered their vitality so far, relying on the hard work of the court for many years, just because of the two of you, it will be a waste of water!"

Pei Sijian saw that Magistrate Cui had a desire to die, and he was no longer afraid of death alone, so ordinary interrogation would naturally have no effect.

But people always have weaknesses, and only by pinpointing the key points can we hit the nail on the head.

Sure enough, every time Pei Sijian said a word, Magistrate Cui's face turned pale.

In the end, the arrogant arrogance completely disappeared, and his hands trembled slightly.

Li Yan hated Cui County magistrate's viciousness, and said coldly: "You are dead, but you have affected countless villagers and neighbors. I am afraid they will cast a bronze statue of you and let you kneel in the ancestral hall. Already!"

Magistrate Cui shook his head again and again: "You can't...you can't..."

"This is not something we can decide, but a saint will not forgive this kind of betrayal!"

Pei Sijian said: "Speak out what you know, and pay for your merits. The governor can promise you that he will protect the nobles in the south of the Yangtze River in front of the saints, and will not be widely involved in this matter!"

Magistrate Cui gritted his teeth: "Don't try to lie to me..."

Pei Sijian shook her head: "I am not for you, but for the countless students who study hard. It was not easy for you when you were studying hard in the past. You were not selected by officials, and you were desperate. Now you want to impose this despair on thousands of people. Is it on the heads of thousands of fellow countrymen?"

County magistrate Cui's lips trembled, his face was grim and ashamed for a while, Pei Sijian didn't urge him, and waited silently.

In the end, County Magistrate Cui closed his eyes and said almost in a groaning tone, "Bring a pen and paper!"

Li Yan handed over the pen and paper, and County Magistrate Cui, with pen in one hand and yellow paper in the other, drew a simple map of Liangzhou and marked it in the south corner of the city: "The dead men who attacked the inner guard last night are hiding here. After entering the city, they have no way to escape, but there is a tunnel that must be blocked in advance..."

"The Tubo envoy Nian Zenggu was indeed killed by my mechanism, and he also cooperated tacitly. I am willing to write down the plea!"

"You have captured so many Tibetan spies, and I have nothing to say about the rest..."

After County Magistrate Cui finished writing, Pei Sijian took it, read it carefully, handed it to Li Yan, and asked, "Is there a noble lady from Supi, Liniang, in your downline?"

"No, I know, I've already said it..."

Magistrate Cui shook his head, revealing a wry smile.

"not good!"

At this moment, Li Yan's complexion changed, and he shot like lightning, jamming County Magistrate Cui's throat.

But Magistrate Cui's throat squirmed, and there was still a clear swallowing movement.

There is a poison sac hidden in his mouth, no wonder he was so arrogant at the beginning, it turned out that he was ready to commit suicide a long time ago, not afraid of torture.

After taking the poison, Magistrate Cui looked at Pei Sijian with pleading eyes.

Pei Sijian understood his concerns, and promised again: "I will try my best to keep this case from being widely involved."

Magistrate Cui's body relaxed, and he finally believed it completely. He turned to face the southeast, knelt down, and kowtowed heavily.

until death.

This murderer, for his own selfish desires, not only cooperates with Tubo to cooperate with the outside world, and makes Tang Dynasty diplomacy unrighteous, but also prepares to poison the school, poisoning children from a few years old to teenagers.

It is also such a person, at the last moment of his life, all he cares about is the future of others.

Selfishness and selflessness are opposites, but they are in perfect harmony.

Li Yan looked a little complicated, and then looked at the plea.

Over the sky of Liangzhou, the shadow of more than ten days...

The murder of the Tibetan ambassador has finally been solved!

　Thanks to the book friends "Tianjing Huntian Baojian", "This slacker didn't write anything" and "Xianhe" for their rewards.
