County Lord Changning

Chapter 293 Strict Investigation
It seems that this trip to Jialing was not fruitless, at least they knew this time that the father is not as safe as it appears on the surface, but there are many people who secretly want to put the father to death!

The county magistrate looked at Qin Changning, Qin Changning nodded to the magistrate, the magistrate twitched a red lottery from the stick and threw it on the ground, said in a deep voice, "Come here! The criminal Qin Shanquan oppressed the people, killed innocent people indiscriminately, witnesses If you don’t plead guilty after gathering all the physical evidence, you will be given [-] slaps for this official!"

"Wait!" Qin Shanquan knelt on the ground and crawled in front of Qin Changning, "Niece, save me! I'm your cousin! You can't let them torture me like this! I was wronged! ! I didn't kill those people!"

Qin Changning pursed his lips, glanced at those suffering masters, looked deeply at Qin Shanquan who was kneeling on the ground, and said quietly, "Yesterday, Qin Xi personally arrested the Jiaqing county master, tortured the Jiaqing county master, and was arrested by the county master on the spot. She still quibbles that she has not taken action against Jiaqing County, how can the chief of this county trust you?"

"Princess, please make the decision for us!" All the suffering masters knelt down in unison, "The patriarch of the Qin clan, bullying and oppressing the people is not a daily thing, as long as you go out and ask, you can find out!"

Qin Changning raised his hand to stop those sufferers from continuing, and asked in a deep voice, "If that's the case, why didn't you report to the officials before?"

A woman in her 30s came out and knelt two steps forward. Qin Changning recognized this person as the bustard in Drunken Spring Breeze. Her complexion was not as rosy as the other bustards, but her figure was still plump. She knelt on the ground and looked up. Looking at Qin Changning, she said sincerely and with resentment, "Master, it's not that we don't report to the government, but that it's useless if we report to the government. The government doesn't care about the Qin family at all. At most, they will be locked up for two days." They will be released, and after they are released, they will only get worse!"

The others echoed again and again, with resentful expressions on their faces, "Yes, yes! They all said that King Jin is protecting the Qin family, that's why they dare to oppress our people so blatantly!"

"The Qin family only has..."

"Wait a minute!" Qin Changning raised his hand and shouted loudly, "This princess swears here that the Jin Palace in the capital city does not know anything about what the Qin family in Jialing has done. Now that the princess knows about it today I will definitely express my position here on behalf of the Prince Jin Mansion. What the people of the Qin Mansion in Jialing do has nothing to do with the Prince Jin Mansion, and I will be responsible for all their actions." Looking at Qin Shanquan who was kneeling on the ground, "Qin Shanquan Taking advantage of King Jin's reputation to bully people, bully the people, kill innocent people indiscriminately, and damage Jin King's reputation, the crime should be punished, and I also ask the county magistrate to convict Qin Shanquan of bullying the king!"

"Small injustice!"

The county magistrate looked at Qin Changning in surprise, and said loudly, "There is no punishment!"

"Wait!" Qin Shanquan got up and shouted loudly, "I'm in custody, I plead guilty! But I want to see my father, I want to see my father!"

The county magistrate looked at Qin Changning, who twitched the corner of Qin Changning's mouth, "Death row criminals are not allowed to visit the prison!" After a pause, he looked at Qin Shanquan and said, "However, if Qin Shanquan can confess who it is, it's just that you are out If you want to ruin King Jin's reputation, then this princess can consider it and spare your life!"

"Small... I really don't know anything!"

Qin Changning glanced at the county magistrate, and the county magistrate asked Qin Shanquan to hold the confession with him.

……

It was very late for Qin Changning to return to the other courtyard. King Jin and Qin Haoxuan had also returned from Qizhou. Everyone was talking in the flower hall. When Qin Changning walked into the flower hall, King Jin asked her to sit down, "I heard you Are you going to try Qin Shanquan today?"

Qin Changning responded, told everything about today, and said solemnly, "Father, can you think of who is trying to harm you?"

Although the emperor has always protected us tonight, if they hadn't discovered what happened in Jialing in time...

The eldest princess frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Thanks to our coming to Jialing to worship our ancestors this time, Ning'er, you discovered the viciousness of the Qin clan. If we didn't discover it yourself, and you came forward to punish the Qin clan, I'm afraid you Father will be impeached when he returns."

King Jin nodded, "Yes, thanks to Ning'er."

Qin Changning didn't take the credit, but looked at the eldest princess with a solemn expression, "But we don't know who is behind the scenes. When we came to Jialing this time, we found out that our Prince Jin's mansion is besieged on all sides."

King Jin frowned, and said in a deep voice, "It seems that the person behind this scene should be someone who knows me well."

Qin Changning looked at King Jin with deep eyes, "Father, do you already have someone to suspect?"

King Jin looked deeply at the eldest princess, and said, "It seems that we can't keep Jialing any longer. After moving your grandmother's tomb into the ancestral tomb and setting up a ranking in the ancestral hall, let's leave here."

Everything here is like a maelstrom, sucking them in, whether it's Qin Yan's family, or the Qin clan's head's family...

King Jin said, "Ning'er, you don't have to worry about the next thing. Aren't you looking for the dragon's blood tree? You go to find the dragon's blood tree, and leave the rest to the father."

Qin Changning didn't have any objections. It would be much better for the person involved to deal with this matter in person. Although she is a member of Prince Jin's mansion, she is still not Prince Jin herself and cannot represent Prince Jin. If she is the one who stands up and handles it at this time , it is very likely that there will be a thread left...

In the next two days, the King of Jin checked the Qin family. If anyone who used the banner of the King of Jin to bully or commit crimes would be imprisoned in Jialing, the King of Jin planned to take them back to the capital himself.

The streets and alleys of Jialing began to say that King Jin is a selfless person, that the things that the people of the Qin clan did before had nothing to do with King Jin, that King Jin was kept in the dark...and so on.

Qin Changning finally found the dragon's blood tree the day before moving the grave. After collecting the dried dragon's blood, she directly found an inn to live in, and then got into her library and started pouring out the medicine for removing scars.

When she got out of Zangshu Pavilion early the next morning, King Jin and the others were already ready to start the ceremony of moving the grave.

Qin Miao could also get out of bed, but because of the scars on her face, she had to wear a cap, Qin Changning said in a low voice, "If you feel uncomfortable, tell me, you can't sweat now, do you understand?"

Qin Miao responded, "Sister, where did you go last night?"

Qin Changning glanced at Qin Miao, and said softly, "Go and find the dragon blood tree, I have found it now, I stayed in an inn outside the city last night, I developed a new ointment to remove scars last night , I’ll give you a try when I go back.”
