The system came a hundred years earlier, I kicked Beihai Kindergarten

In fact, even if the county magistrate did not transfer Shen Lang to the South Gate, he would find other ways to get to the South Gate.

It’s just a change of position. Given the county magistrate’s greed, it would be too easy for Shen Lang to take action.

Directly arranging him at the South Gate only saved Shen Lang some effort.

"Well, it's very likely." The prefect's eyes lit up.

Zhebie was a hero in the hearts of the people of the grassland. If he was actually a spy for the Great Zhou, that would be a scandal.

But if he was held hostage, then this would be a conspiracy by the Great Zhou against the grassland!

"Those shameful businesses of yours and Zhebie..." The prefect's eyes fell on the county magistrate again.

"Uncle, you are wronged. The people at the door are selling calligraphy and paintings. If they are willing to buy, what does it have to do with me? One tael of silver is not much to show their sincerity." The county magistrate blinked his eyes: "What's more, after Zhebie fell out with the leader, he wanted to find me, but I closed the door and refused to see him. So he went to Ashige's house."

"When he left the city, he also took Ashiger's token."

"No matter how you look at it, he is from Ashiger. He can't possibly have anything to do with me, right?"

The county magistrate gave himself a thumbs up, I am really smart!

"Huh..." There was a gleam in the prefect's eyes.

When a mistake occurs, it is often necessary to make up for it with more mistakes to cover it up.

…………

After the prefect and the county magistrate had finished communicating, they immediately found their own advisor.

The prefect discovered that these scholars were particularly good at using their brains and playing tricks.

Chapter 178 The scapegoat

"Master, this is the situation. Who do you think the murderer is?" the prefect whispered.

It turns out that this legal advisor is also a chief historian.

The prefect heard from others that those officials in the Great Zhou who had cultivated themselves were probably just idiots when it came to culture and only knew how to cultivate.

After all, the selection of talents in the Great Zhou Dynasty is still linked to one’s cultivation.

A Jinshi without any cultivation will never be as good as a scholar in the Zhoutian realm.

As for the Jinshi of Zhoutian Realm?

Such talents are extremely rare. Basically, after being demoted for a while, they will be appointed as officials in Beijing or hold important positions. They will never be sent to the northern border.

The truly capable people sent out of the Great Zhou were all the chief officials beside the prefects and governors. They might have low cultivation or even no cultivation at all, but the fact that they could sit in that position meant that they were definitely not simple.

Therefore, the prefect directly picked a chief secretary to be his advisor.

"Who does your Excellency hope the murderer is?" the lawyer whispered.

"What I want is the murderer, the real murderer. Why do I hope the murderer is someone else?"

"Zhebie..."

Seeing the prefect's expression change slightly, the lawyer changed his words and said, "His cousin."

"Oh?" The prefect's eyes lit up: "Why?"

"My Lord, please listen to me carefully..."

…………

Soon, the prefect finished talking with his advisor and returned to the room where the county magistrate was.

"By the way, what's the matter with Zhebie's information?" the prefect asked the county magistrate.

"He is a mixed-blood..."

Soon, the county magistrate told Shen Lang's information.

"What about the murder case?" the prefect continued.

"Well, three suspects have been identified so far, and Zhebie is one of them." The county magistrate replied: "When the centurion came back, he said that it was confirmed to be Zhebie, and that Senbuhe went out of the city to chase him."

The prefect's advisor knew everything about such important matters.

If you want to be a good secretary, you must always understand what your leader needs.

Although Shenyoujing went out of the city to chase someone and there was a murder case, it seemed to have nothing to do with the prefect, but the advisor who had been the chief historian for so long knew that if the county magistrate could not solve it, the matter would have to go to the prefect, so he had been following up.

"Hmm..." The prefect nodded silently: "In that case, Shen Yi is a big suspect!"

"She used her identity as Zhebie to go into the city, opened a store, and got in touch with those ladies."

"The cartilage powder should be the sugar-coated bullet of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"She can leave the city on the pretext of purchasing goods."

"Afterwards, when Zhebie was helping you, Shen Yi knocked him out. Using Zhebie's identity, he killed five soldiers and took a head."

"The next night, she secretly followed Zhebie up to the city wall in her spirit form."

"For this plan, Da Zhou must have carefully selected someone who can conceal his aura, and Shen Yi is that person!"

"Shen Yi hid from the gatekeeper's detection and secretly replaced Zhao Huaibei's head."

"Then, he used Zhebie to leave the city again."

"After leaving the city, take Zhebie hostage."

"Shen Yi was outside, and there were people to pick him up, so when Nasenbuhe chased him out, they laid a net to break up Nasenbuhe's spirit and soul, crippling a master of the grassland."

"And Zhebie, his life or death is unknown!"

"Uncle, that's great!" The county magistrate gave a thumbs up.

"That's why I'm your uncle."

…………

Soon, the prefect secretly found Aijima.

These people could not leave the government office, but the prefect could not possibly put them all in jail.

We all used to live on the grasslands, so who doesn't know who? Who doesn't have some tribal power behind them?

This is also where the grassland's legal system is imperfect. There is not even a place specifically for detaining officials.

If it were the Great Zhou, such a big case would probably be handled without any regard for any relatives.

"Sister-in-law..." The prefect said to Aijima cautiously, "Do you know the current situation?"

"Isn't Zhebie a spy? Catch him, kill him, and clear Ashige's name!" Ajima said hatefully.

"No, no, no, now... ahem, if Zhebie is really caught, then Ashige is in real trouble. He left the city with Ashige's token."

"Neither he nor Ashige is a good person. It would be better if Ashige dies!"

"Okay, then I'll do as you say. If we really catch Zhebie, Ashige will inevitably go to the vanguard camp..." The prefect made a gesture to leave.

"Wait! Is this matter... so big?" Ajima was a very contradictory person.

She hated Ashige for beating her last night, but she also wanted to help Ashige vent his anger.

Just like some old couples who have been fighting for their entire lives, but still face problems together, and still think of each other before they die.

Perhaps, this is what a couple is.

"Oh, you two are too deeply involved with Zhebie. You brought Zhebie home, helped him sell the cartilage powder, and even let him practice archery outside the city..." The prefect laughed bitterly, "It's not just Ashige. You are also responsible for Zhebie's capture."

"What does this have to do with me?" Ajima's eyes widened.

"That's right." The prefect slapped his thigh and said, "That's why it's so difficult!"

"Then, what should I do?" Ajima was at a loss: "No, I have to go home and discuss it with Ashige..."

She had been too naive before and thought she was a victim.

The problem is that ordinary people can make mistakes, but officials like them cannot make mistakes, as they are too easy to be exploited by people with ulterior motives.

Cultivation resources are very precious, and everyone at the same level hopes that others will get less and they can get more.

At worst, there is only one hole for each carrot, and you can only put yourself in it after you pull out the carrot.

"Sister-in-law, the problem now is that in order to avoid suspicion, no one can leave the government office." said the prefect.

"Well, then what do you say we should do?" Aijima looked at the prefect helplessly.

If it were more than 20 years ago, with her little eyes and expressions, the prefect would have used her to vent his anger no matter what he said.

The problem is that Aijima's aptitude for cultivation is too poor. She has not reached the Free and Easy Realm, and cannot change her appearance. She is already an old lady.

"I came here because I don't want to see anything happen to Ashige. How about this, you write him a letter and ask him to come over." The prefect said, "I'll let him go, and you can secretly pass the letter out..."

"it is good……"

…………

Ashige came to the government office in a hurry.

Facing the prefect, he found a chair and sat down, slamming the table and saying, "What's wrong with Zhebie? Why do you want to arrest him? He is my man now!"

"Ahem, are you sure?" The prefect looked at Ashige, feeling helpless.

"He holds my token and is a clerk in my house. He is also handling military affairs for me!" Ashige raised his head: "I also instructed him to do what he did in the square."

"According to the current clues, Zhebie may have killed five soldiers, taken one head, replaced Zhao Huaibei's head, and stole the Wolf Lord's merits." The prefect said indifferently: "After taking your token out of the city, when Nasenbuhe chased him, he also dispersed Nasenbuhe's soul."

"What he did in the square was probably intended to intensify the conflict between the two ethnic groups..."

"There is evidence and witnesses for these things..."

Ashige broke out in a cold sweat. Halfway through hearing what he heard, he thought the prefect was joking. But looking at the prefect's expression, it was clear that he was not joking at all.

He smiled awkwardly and picked up the tea prepared for him on the table. His hands were shaking a little, and he didn't know if it was because the old injury from being beaten had not healed yet.

Even though he obviously didn't like tea, he still took a big sip and drank up the entire small cup.

"Ashige, do you have anything else to say?" the prefect continued.

"I want to make a statement here." Ashige spat out a piece of tea leaves: "I have nothing to do with this Zhebie..."

"Didn't you say that he was helping you with military matters, and that the incident at the square was also your instigation?" The prefect looked at Ashige with a smile.

"I'm telling you, we have to rely on evidence and the law when we do things. We can't just say anything!" Ashige stood up suddenly and pointed at the prefect, saying, "I've never given tokens to anyone..."

"Do you want to experience the Wolf Lord's Sword of Conscience?" The prefect looked at Ashige silently.

poof...

Ashige sat weakly on the chair: "Tell me what you want to do with me."

Now Ashige looks like he is ten years older and no longer as strong as before.

The so-called questioning of conscience means asking people to tell the truth directly. Just because Shen Lang can handle it doesn't mean others can.

The Wolf Lord's sword of conscience, at least Ashiger didn't think he could withstand it.

In this world, the self-examination in the realm of heaven and man is absolute.

"Ahem, there is still room for this matter..." The prefect smiled slightly.

If it were the Central Plains, the prefect would just ask Aijima to write the details in the letter, and the other party would know that he owed him a favor.

The problem is that these are officials from the grassland. They don't have so many twists and turns, nor do they have that much political wisdom. They can only talk face to face to make the human relations clear.

Moreover, if one wants to make things sound as the prefect wants, one has to contact more people and concentrate the forces together.

This way, when something really happens, everyone can bear the burden together.

…………

Cannes.

When the Wolf Lord's army arrived at Cannes, the city gates had already been opened.

Leading his troops into the city, looking at the defenseless Cannes and the people lying on both sides of the road, the Wolf Lord was very satisfied with his masterpiece.

We took the city without any bloodshed, that's great.
