Chapter 416 Finding Out the Posthouse Murder Case (Part [-])
Qin Wubing didn't give Zhu Baoqing a chance to speak, and asked in a cold voice:
"Furthermore, although we have traveled the rivers and lakes, we also know that in the imperial examinations, you are only a sixth-rank official, and you can get the exam questions? Lao Mei still believes you? Why do I hear this more and more wrong? Are you lying to Lao Mei? May's silver?"

Qin Wubing's last sentence suddenly raised his voice and was extremely fierce, scaring Zhu Baoqing to say anxiously:
"No lie, no lie! I am the same year as Mei Zhongchun, and both went to high school last year. If you think about it carefully, how could I get into high school if I didn't have exam questions? How could I let Mei Zhongchun go to high school?"

"You only graduated from high school last year? You're not even an official. Where did you get the exam questions?"

"Heroes may not believe me, but I have a clan brother..."

"I don't have time to listen to your daily routines, hurry up and choose a way to die!" Qin Wubing yelled impatiently.

"Hero, don't worry, take the 500 taels of silver and spend it for a few days. If you need anything in the future, you can come to me again. No matter when the hero comes, I will do my best to help. This is no worse than killing me." better?"

Qin Wubing did not speak again.

This time even the old monk knew that he was pretending to think, so he just sat aside and waited patiently.

Zhu Baoqing would not let go of this opportunity, and then persuaded:
"Mei Zhongchun is really greedy. I had no other way to do it. The hero is a chivalrous person. He must have come to me because he felt that Mei Zhongchun had been wronged. Now that the hero knows the whole story, if Mei Zhongchun Come find the hero again, he can question him as much as he likes, and see if he has anything to say!"

Zhu Baoqing paused and said:
"Then again, I am also an official of the court. If I really disappeared suddenly, the court will definitely investigate. Why would a hero take my life and make it difficult for the rest of his life? Why don't you take some money and go to the court in the future? Xia can be regarded as someone in court..."

"You mean, Lao Mei did it to herself?"

"Yes!"

"Your clan brother gave you your test questions? You gave it to Lao Mei, and Lao Mei used this to blackmail you?"

"Exactly!"

"Where is your clan brother now? I need to prove that what you said is true."

"He is in the capital, but it may be difficult for a hero to see him."

"Why?"

"He is now the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the third rank of the official residence, and today he was invited by the Marquis Yongcheng to sit at his home, but the hero knows from this that I can indeed give Mei Zhongchun the exam questions, but he has a lot of entourage..."

Guo Zheng already had a look of surprise on his face, but Qin Wubing remained calm and asked impatiently:
"It's as if you didn't say what you said. If that's the case, how can I prove that what you said is true? How do I know whether it's your malicious intentions or Lao Mei's own fault?"

"Don't worry, hero, let me think about it, let me think about it..."

"I shouldn't ask. Although Lao Mei is not young anymore, she is still a seventh-rank official. You can kill me if you say so?"

"I was really forced to be helpless, so..."

"When we walk the rivers and lakes, what we care about most is loyalty. Think about why we found you? How can we conclude that you killed Lao Mei? Let's put it this way, the ins and outs we heard are different from what you said... ...1000 taels! One tael less, and I will choose a way to die for you!"

Zhu Baoqing first heard the 1000 taels, so anxious that he sat up: "I don't have so much money!" Then he remembered the meaning of Qin Wubing's words, and said anxiously:

"Did Gu Cai say that? Heroes can't believe what he said! Brother Clan knew that I killed Mei Zhongchun, so he arranged for him to go to Tonghui County to help me finish it. I didn't know him at all before. He was just Gu Wenyuan, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites Butler, I only met him once in Tonghui County, and he let me go to Beijing quickly, how could he know the cause and effect..."

"I don't know who Gu Cai is. I only know that the county magistrate is not a good person. Don't worry, you go first, and the county magistrate will be able to find you later!"

Zhu Baoqing struggled anxiously for a few times, failed to grasp his balance, and fell to the ground again. He didn't care about the pain, raised his head and said anxiously: "Since the hero knows that the county magistrate is not a good person, how can he still listen to what he says?"

"Don't talk nonsense, 1000 taels! Is that okay?"

Qin Wubing originally wanted to swindle some more things about Tian Yougui, but he knew he was wrong as soon as he said the words. Tian Yougui didn't know who the murderer was at all, and the person he met should be sent by Zhu Baoqing. However, Tian Yougui never knew who Zhu Baoqing was.

Fortunately, Zhu Baoqing's mind is in a mess now, and he didn't sort out the relationship between the characters at all, otherwise, with just this flaw, Qin Wubing's previous efforts would have been wasted.

Qin Wubing could only offer 1000 taels, and asked Zhu Baoqing to be more anxious. It was best to forget what he said just now.

"Hero! Is this okay? I'll give you 500 taels first..."

Qin Wubing glanced at Feng Ming, Feng Ming pulled out the sharp sword from his waist with a thud, Zhu Baoqing screamed in fright: "Hero, please forgive me! I really don't have that much money, even if I sell it, it will take time. The hero will slow me down for a few days..."

"I'm easy to talk, but it doesn't mean I'm easy to lie! You are an imperial court official, how long will I delay you? Wait until you bring someone to arrest me?"

"No, no! I swear, if I leave..."

"Can the mouths of you officials still be called mouths? If you swear and curse me, if you believe me, I can still live to this day with these brothers?"

Qin Wubing glanced at Feng Ming again, Feng Ming drew his sword again.

Qin Wubing shook his head when he heard this, he stepped forward and kicked him hard, Feng Ming realized what he meant.

Zhu Baoqing yelled, before he could speak again, Feng Ming stepped forward, took off the scabbard from his waist, and stabbed Zhu Baoqing's ribs hard, the painful Zhu Baoqing shrank into a ball, the old monk took the opportunity Stepped forward and kicked two feet.

"If you talk any more useless nonsense, I'll kill you directly!" Qin Wubing said fiercely.

Zhu Baoqing burst into tears of pain, he choked up and said, "What should the hero say? I really don't have that much money right now."

"Tell me first how to deliver the 500 taels to me safely?"

"In this way, I, I will write a letter, and the hero will send someone to deliver it to a housekeeper named Zhu Neng in my house. He will bring 500 taels of silver to the place designated by the hero. The butler left, and the remaining 500 taels, hero, hero, give me ten days, after ten days, hero let me give it away... ouch!"

Feng Ming received Qin Wubing's gaze, and poked it again.

"It's just 500 taels of silver, you need ten days? Still want to leave with the butler? Play tricks with me again, and I can hurt you to death!"

"Hero, let me go as long as the hero says, and let me go whenever he wants."

"Two days! I'll give you two days to collect the silver taels."

"it is good!"

"How can I trust your people not to report to the officials?"

"Whatever the hero thinks can be done at ease, I, I will do it."
