Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 116: A Match Made in Heaven (1)
Xianglai glanced at the two of them sharply, and said, "Last night, you together with Fan Limin and Wei Jiang set fire to our courtyard, how dare you ask me what's the matter?!"

Huang Ping hurriedly said: "My master, don't listen to Wei Jiang's nonsense, we have been resting in the work shed last night, there is absolutely no fire!"

Xianglai said: "How dare you deny it, Fan Limin and Wei Jiang have already confessed, Fan Lifa has already told how you were ordered by the previous farm manager to deal with me, and what you secretly planned, he also explained everything, Now you have been escorted to the county government office by the officials, and the officials will come back to escort you again later!"

Huang Ping and Zhou Quansheng's faces turned pale, but they still held the last trace of luck and said: "Dong, Dong's, it's really nothing, we really didn't set fire to it, that, that's all their nonsense, please don't send us to the yamen ..."

Xiang Lai said: "I really don't repent. Originally, I wanted to punish you lightly because you were not the mastermind, but I didn't expect you to be more stubborn than Fan Limin. If this is the case, I won't ask any more questions. In the court, Go confront Fan Limin! If you want to burn me and my Luo Dong family, this is deliberate murder. If the sentence is light, it will be dispatched to the army, and if the sentence is severe, it will be a death penalty!"

Both of these two are long-term workers, and they don't understand the laws of the Northern Liao Dynasty at all. Hearing what Xianglai said, he was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground at that time. The mastermind, this was all Fan Limin's idea, we didn't know what we were going to do when he, he asked us to come, and we only heard him say that he wanted to burn the master and the young master to death!"

Xianglai said: "I know all these things, otherwise I wouldn't have waited for the officials to leave before I came to you. How about this? Tell me in detail who ordered you to stay in my farm and what you will do when you stay in my farm. If you speak the truth, I will spare you and not send you to court."

At this time, Huang Ping didn't hold his tongue anymore, and rushed to say: "Say, let's talk! My boss, in fact, we haven't seen Mr. Xu Zongde for so many years. What we did was assigned by the former manager of the farm, Xu Wei. He Don't look at the boss, you won the Hengyuan Farm, Mr. Xu will definitely not let you have a good life, we will not have a good life after you are here, if you work for Mr. Xu, after he takes back the farm, he will mention us to be stewards, and we will be popular They drink spicy food, and even if something happens, it’s okay, Mr. Xu has the prefect of Huikang as his backer, and the county magistrate of Songning dare not deal with Mr. Xu!"

Xianglai asked again: "What about other things? For example, how do you contact Xu Zongde's people? Who is the leader here, and what are you planning to do?"

Huang Ping said: "I don't know how to contact them, but we usually follow Li Xingren's orders, and only he knows about contacting outsiders."

"Who is Li Xingren and where is he now?"

Huang Pingdao: "Li Xingren also worked for Xu Wei earlier, this time when Xu Wei left, he left him and mixed into Hengshierzhuang to work as a long-term worker, and later transferred to Hengyizhuang when the boss transferred people. .”

Xianglai looked at the steward of Hengyi Village, the steward quickly nodded and said, "There is such a person."

Xianglai looked back at Huang Ping and Zhou Quansheng again, and said, "Do you know how they plan to deal with me?"

Huang Ping said: "That's all I know about, I haven't heard about other plans."

Zhou Quansheng hurriedly said: "Boss, I know one thing. I heard Fan Limin say that when Xu Wei left, he said that we should do everything possible to make the boss's food production stop. Other things can be handled by ourselves. What happened? It doesn't matter, whoever caused the disaster to the owner will have the greatest credit! They originally planned to incite everyone in each village to oppose the owner, but the owner was prepared and transferred everyone to the first five villages. Nao would be caught by the boss, so he was going to do it together after Qiuhou, but Fan Limin was greedy for merit, and sneaked into the boss's side to kill the boss, but he was afraid of Master Shen Che, so he didn't dare to do it until yesterday. call..."

The more Xianglai listened, the colder her heart became!Xu Zongde, Xu Zongde, you really put a lot of thought into dealing with me, planting so many people in the farm, hum, how you deal with me now, how I will get it back in the future!

She thought and asked, "Oh, yes, what else do you know?"

The two of them thought about it and couldn't come up with anything, they just said that Li Xingren instigated the food shortage last time, and Zhang Gui was just helping him out.

Xianglai asked again: "Then you should know the names of other people who stayed with me to work for Xu Xu Zongde like you?"

The two nodded quickly and said, "I know, there are several more..."

As they spoke, the two scrambled to report the names of more than a dozen people.

Xianglai asked Xu Che to remember them one by one, and then took the stewards of these villages to arrest them again.

It wasn't until night that Xu Che arrested most of them, mainly because the guy named Li Xingren was too cunning and wanted to run away early when he heard the news, but because Hengyi Village was the northernmost village, and this guy wanted to run away He went back to Huikang to deliver a letter to Xu Zongde, so he took a detour to enter Songning City, but after detours, he was still caught by Xu Che.

Xianglai interrogated these people again overnight, picked out two or three more names from others, and went to arrest them one by one.

But that guy named Li Xingren was too stubborn, he didn't ask how he contacted Xu Zongde, but the traitor will be eliminated, so it's not too important whether the contact person can be caught or not.

Seeing that everyone had been arrested, Fan Limin also pleaded guilty in a dejected manner.

It was only at this time that Xianglai dug up almost all of Xu Zongde's people who had been buried in the farm, and asked Xu Che to temporarily arrest them all.Then he asked Luo Jinxing, who was always by his side, and said, "Jinxing, how do you think these people should be dealt with?"

Luo Jinxing said: "Of course it should be handed over to the government according to the law."

Xianglai said with a gloomy expression, "It was supposed to be handed over to the government, but Chen Changzhi and Xu Zongde, the magistrate of Songning County, both vented their anger through the same nostrils. On the surface, they were polite to me, but Jing secretly tricked me. In his hands, he will only be locked up for a few days, and then he will find some excuse and let him go."

Standing behind Luo Jinxing, Xu Lin also said angrily: "Yes, young master, Fan Limin dared to set fire to you to death. This is... a felony! No matter what you say, you can't let him go easily!"

Because of Xianglai's presence, Xu Lin didn't dare to say clearly that deliberately murdering the eldest son was a crime of treason in Beiliao, and it was intended to punish the nine clans. Even if it was just to kill Fan Limin, it would be an extrajudicial favor.

Luo Jinxing sneered and said, "Yes, of course we can't let it go easily. The county magistrate of Songning colluded with Xu Zongde, but the county magistrate of Funing never did, right? Xu Lin, tomorrow you take people to escort these people to Funing and let the county magistrate of Funing Deal with it!"

Xu Lin nodded and replied, "Yes, young master."
