Yin Fu Daojun

Chapter 106
In the side courtyard, beside the stone table in the courtyard, two siblings sit around the table.

It has been seven or eight days since the incident happened. Li Qing was convicted and sent to prison, and Xie Ying is a woman with three children, and it is really not easy to ask people to rescue her husband.

An ordinary woman must have been desperate long ago.

Fortunately, the appearance of Xie Duan rekindled her hope.

The siblings were finally reunited, and Li Qing's matter had not yet been settled, so the old lady didn't bother them, she just asked them to discuss on their own, if necessary, Zuo Fu will do their best to help.

Taking this opportunity, Xie Duan asked the whole story clearly.

It turned out that since he left Changshan County and returned to his former residence to settle down, within a month, the imperial court came down to pass the decree.

It is said that the matter of using work as relief has achieved great results, so the emperor sent them to Beijing to be granted the title. After Li Qing came back, he temporarily took the position of county guard. Under his leadership, the situation is getting better and better .

Originally, all of this went very smoothly.

But later, for some reason, rumors gradually spread in the county, saying that Li Qing abused his power and did things with complete disregard for the life and death of the people.

Li Qing himself also had a sad face all day long, and sometimes he would lose his temper. When Xie Ying asked him about it, he still refused to say anything.

Not long after that, the imperial court issued an imperial decree, saying that Li Qing had owed a holy grace, and Dongyang County was already full of dissatisfaction under his rule, and he was to be escorted back to Beijing for trial. Fortunately, a rebellion broke out in the neighboring county. The rebels said they were going to fight over, so there was a temporary delay.

Xie Ying only knew so much, if Xie Duan wanted to know more details, it was hopeless, so he had to give up.

However, he always had a feeling in his heart that things were by no means that simple. How could he arbitrarily convict court ministers based on a few rumors? There must be some unknown tricks hidden here.

It seems that if you want to know the whole story, you still have to find a way to meet with your brother-in-law. After all, you don't know the situation, and messing around will only harm him.

Li Qing has already committed a crime, and is currently being held in the county government prison. Although the imperial court has ordered him to be escorted back to Beijing for trial, his life is safe for the time being, but the pain of flesh and blood is inevitable.

In addition, he is a repeat offender, and relatives are not allowed to visit the prison at all.

But these, of course, can't trouble Xie Duan. With his current ability, he can enter a prison as soon as he wants, and get out as soon as he wants.

……

At night, the moon is dark and the wind is high.

Xie Duan had the idea of ​​visiting the prison, so he did not hesitate.

Now swaggeringly, he went straight to the outside of the prison of the county government. When he looked around, he saw two braziers on both sides of the gate, with bonfires burning for illumination, and two guards standing in front of the gate.

In addition, there are four other yamen servants patrolling back and forth.

Xie Duan didn't take it seriously, but went around to the side wall, secretly chanted a mantra, and stepped up. The whole wall seemed to be empty, and he easily passed through the wall and came directly to the inside of the prison.

He used to go in and out of the prison in Changshan County frequently, so he was no stranger to it, and the layout inside was also clear. He avoided the guards on duty and found the place where his brother-in-law was being held in a short while.

Outside brother-in-law's cell, there were two other guards guarding them. They were sitting there punching and drinking. Xie Duan took a trace of spiritual qi, poured it on his fingers, and flicked at the two of them, and they fell to the ground immediately.

He then used the technique of piercing the wall to pass through the cell door and enter the cell.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, wake up!"

At this time, Li Qing was covered in cuts and bruises, unkempt, and passed out on the ground.

Xie Duan called a few words, but only heard him groan, and there was no more movement. He frowned slightly, and quickly pulled Li Qing's hand to feel his pulse. .

"hateful!"

Xie Duan didn't hesitate any longer, he lifted him up, and his hand was like lightning, he first sealed several vital points on him, then pressed his right palm against the back of his heart, and infused a stream of spiritual energy into it to help him remove blood stasis and repair his meridians.

"puff……"

After a while, Li Qing spat out a mouthful of blood, recovered his breath, coughed violently twice, slowly opened his eyes, and saw Xie Duan clearly.

"Zheng...Zhengming, you...how did you come?"

He looked a little surprised, and he was a little confused.

"I'm here to get you out."

Seeing him suffer so much, Xie Duan actually felt very uncomfortable. At this point, he simply didn't care too much.

Rescuing him, even if he doesn't become a bird official, even if he lives in seclusion in the mountains, it's better than being tortured like this. As a scholar, how can he bear such a severe punishment, if he stays any longer, he will definitely lose his life.

"No... no! No way, I can't go with you."

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this at first, Li Qing was very resistant.

"Ahem... Zhengming, you... Listen to me, if I leave with you now, I will be a fugitive and will be disgraced by the world! How do you want me to behave in the future? What about my children and grandchildren? Be human?"

Li Qing endured the pain, sobered up, and explained.

"Zhengming, have you... seen your sister? How are they?"

Xie Duan's face was very ugly, but he still nodded.

"They're fine, don't worry!"

Xie Duan had thought of Li Qing's thoughts before he came. He is an official of the court and a scholar.

So the original plan was to find out the inside story, and then find a way to rescue him in a fair and honest manner, but when he came in, he saw such a tragic scene, so he had to make such a bad plan.

"Brother-in-law, what is going on?"

He was determined not to leave with him, Xie Duan knew that it was useless to force, so he simply stopped wasting time and asked him immediately.

Li Qing also understood that Xie Duan was the key to his reversal of the case, so he had a tacit understanding and explained the situation in detail.

It turned out that the reason why he ended up like this had a lot to do with Cihang Temple.

Three months ago, the imperial court decreed to build the Cihang Temple in this county, and the scale was not small, surpassing the yamen and even the county guard's mansion.

For this reason, the imperial court specially sent a superintendent to build the Cihang Temple within a time limit.

To repair such a large project in such a short period of time requires not only a lot of manpower and material resources, but also financial resources, which will inevitably waste people and money.

Dongyang County has just restored some people's livelihood because of the labor relief. If this causes public resentment, then all efforts will be in vain.

As a result, Li Qing had conflicts with the other party.

He tried to persuade him with good words, but was overwhelmed by the imperial decree by the supervisor.

He was so angry that he simply played the imperial court, but when the memorial was sent out, there was no further news.

Relying on the imperial decree, the supervisor did not take him seriously at all. He secretly colluded with the wealthy gentry in the county to amass money wantonly, recruit migrant workers, and build the Cihang Temple.

As the lord of a county, Li Qing naturally couldn't let him go. Several attempts to dissuade him failed, and the imperial court had no example, so they simply took tough measures and put all his gang in prison.

Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for the imperial edict to be handed down, saying that he disobeyed the imperial edict and owed the divine favor, which was a serious crime of deceiving the emperor.

As for the position of the county guard, the superintendent will take over temporarily. After the court finds out the reason, another person will be appointed.

I was loyal, but ended up like this.

The supervisor avenged his personal revenge and took this opportunity to abuse him by lynching him.

I am in this prison, there is no sky, no place to sue for grievances, I just want to go to Beijing to face the saint, and report the cause and effect to the saint, in order to prove my innocence.

After listening to his words, Xie Duan was thoughtful.

He seemed to have understood what was going on!
