Chapter 529 Forced into a corner
When the name of the Eastern Family was called out, most people were at a loss. They had never heard of such a No. [-] family in Jianghu, while the remaining small number of well-informed people suddenly changed their faces.

Although it was more than 20 years ago that the Eastern family plotted to assassinate the imperial prince, but looking back now, the bloody storm of that year is still fresh in people's memory.

Not to mention that they were frightened, even the county magistrate in the hall was taken aback. Although the county magistrate was an official released three years ago, he didn't know the details of the case of the prince at all, but he knew that the two criminals What does the word represent.

Especially now that the lord of Jin Yiwei lives in their yamen, he didn't know what happened now, and he knocked on the gavel several times in a row, which can be regarded as emboldening himself.

"Li Sibei, you know, you can't talk nonsense," the county magistrate calmed down the turmoil in his heart, and shouted sharply: "If you dare to say half a lie, this official will not forgive you lightly!"

"The villain swears to the sky! There is absolutely no lie!" Li Sibei said firmly.

"it is good"

The county magistrate wiped off his sweat, summoned the guards, and ordered: "Put this criminal in custody, and let's go to the Qingcheng faction to find out."

At the end, the county magistrate called the master who was in charge of recording the case files, and whispered to him: "Don't rush to seal the files, and make a decision after reading it to all the superiors."

The master nodded again and again: "Master, don't worry, the little one will write beautifully, and the adults will be satisfied."

The county magistrate arranged for four arrests and more than 20 guards. After much deliberation, he was still uneasy, so he boldly went to invite Jin Yiwei. After Huangfu Xiaoyuan nodded, he sent two more general banners to go with them.

Although the location of the Qingcheng faction is within the jurisdiction of the county magistrate, the policy of this dynasty is very lenient to the Taoist Buddhists. A big Taoist sect like the Qingcheng faction does not pay taxes or recruit men. There is little intersection.

But it is not completely without intersection. The Qingcheng faction is a Taoist master with a long history, so when they want to do things, they will still invite each other. For example, every spring when we sow seeds, we have to invite the masters of the Qingcheng faction Make a funeral ceremony.

A group of people dressed up and went to the Qingcheng faction, followed by many spectators from the rivers and lakes. A large group of people arrived in front of the mountain gate of the Qingcheng faction. The disciples who welcomed the guests saw that the leader was actually a servant of the yamen, and they felt very happy. Accident.

When an adult from the official yamen came to visit, the Qingcheng faction naturally had to have corresponding etiquette. After the disciple passed the pass, he welcomed the person to the main hall and was personally received by Daoist Guiyun.

"I don't know why my lord came here today?" Daoist Gui Yun asked politely while holding his fly whisk, pinching his fingers.

The county magistrate returned the gift, and then said: "Excuse me, Taoist priest, this is because of the case that I tried yesterday. The criminal has some relationship with the blood ghost hall. Is it true?"

Gui Yun's heart shuddered, and he replied with a smile: "The Blood Ghost Hall does a lot of evil, and everyone in the world can punish them."

These words can be regarded as a default self-effacing, but after careful consideration, the other party has never admitted anything in the face, the county magistrate secretly cursed the old fox, then turned his head and ordered his subordinates: "Take people Bring it up."

Li Sibei was quickly brought in front of Guiyun, and he asked curiously, "My lord, what is the meaning of this?"

The county magistrate pointed to Li Sibei and said: "This person is the middleman in the blood ghost hall who is in charge of contacting the killer and the buyer. According to his confession, in the eyes of the Taoist priest, there are imperial court criminals hidden."

Gui Yun was startled, and his face was slightly angry: "Your Excellency, be careful what you say, the desperadoes are full of nonsense, how can you trust them."

Seeing that Gui Yun was unmoved, the county magistrate looked at Li Sibei: "Speak!"

Li Sibei hurriedly said: "My lord! Everything the villain said is true! That miscellaneous disciple Bao'er is the remnant of the Eastern family! The news is absolutely true!"

In front of people from all corners of the world, Li Sibei kowtowed and swore. Many people who had long guessed that Bao'er's background had a lot of background had already believed this verse.

Seeing this situation, Gui Yun frowned, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, relying on the one-sided words of this villain from the Blood Ghost Hall, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public."

The county magistrate said indifferently: "Forgive me, the head of the Taoist priest. This matter is related to a major case of the imperial court. There is no room for carelessness. I also ask the head of the Taoist priest to hand over the child and let him go back to the yamen with us. If there is a misunderstanding, I will come to the door to apologize in the future." .”

Hearing these words, Daoist Gui Yun finally felt a little troublesome. If it was just an inquiry from the yamen, it would be fine, but there are Jin Yiwei behind this yamen, obviously this matter will definitely pass their hands.

Jin Yiwei's methods are unbearable to even a tough man, let alone Bao'er, a child. The most important thing is that the Dongfang family only handed over people to them, so what's the matter if they fall into the hands of the court after changing hands.

And it is even more infuriating if these words fall into the ears of the Jianghu people outside. In the way of thinking of most Jianghu people, questioning the case in the yamen is equal to torture to extract a confession or torture into a trick.

So there will be trouble immediately——

"Despicable! This is no way out!"

"You actually killed a doll! Do you still have humanity!"

Although this group of people were helping Qingcheng to set up a platform, they subconsciously confessed all the crimes for them, and Gui Yun felt mixed feelings for a while.

"quiet!"

The county magistrate turned around and shouted sharply: "What are you doing to coax me! Do you want to rebel!"

The county magistrate will treat people from the Qingcheng sect with courtesy. That's because while they are a Jianghu sect, they are also a place of decent Taoist incense, offering gods and Buddhas, and reciting Taoist scriptures. very respectful.

But this group of people outside is different. From the county magistrate's point of view, this group of people call themselves knights of the rivers and lakes, but they don't do anything about production. Have a good face.

But obviously, the county magistrate's yelling can't stop this group of people. They are rebellious gangsters, so naturally they won't be scared off by just a few words.

"unfair!"

"Dog officer!"

The more scolding the people outside became, the more ugly they were. Not only did the county magistrate look ugly, but even Daoist Gui Yun felt that this group of people were purely doing a disservice to them. Fortunately, the appearance of two people at this time helped them out——

"Hey, it's so lively, I seem to have seen someone pull out a knife just now, why, do you want to attack the magistrate?"

"Attacking the imperial court officials in public, there is no way, our brothers are just a few heads away for credit, I wonder which hero you plan to let come first?"

Two brocade guards in flying fish suits came at the same time, Xiu Chundao opened the way, no one dared to stop, and the group who shouted the loudest had already hidden in a corner.

"I have seen you two adults," the county magistrate came forward and thanked you, "Thank you for coming in time."

"Master Zhixian, don't panic, a group of mobs can't make any waves." One of the chief banners, Mr. Kong, waved his hand indifferently.

The other general banner, Mr. Zou, looked at Daoist Gui Yun with a half-smile, and asked: "However, I can't pretend that I didn't hear about the matter just now. Daoist Guiyun, don't dawdle, and take people away." Hand it over."
