The assassin became more and more excited as he spoke.

Especially when it came to Xiao Qi's death, he suddenly broke away from the escorting guards and ran towards Xie Qingbai with scarlet eyes.

That posture...

I would rather die than fight to kill the dog officer!

Shao Jingheng is still standing nearby, how can he get his wish?

Just throw a pebble and the assassin will be immobilized.

That technique...

If Brother Li Hu were present, he would definitely suspect that his eldest brother and Brother Shao had some unknown relationship.

Why are they so casual in determining acupoints for people, and how accurate are they?

Xie Qingbai was frightened by the assassin again, but fortunately Shao Jingheng controlled him in time and did not let him get close to him.

He quickly got over it.

Then Shao Jingheng turned around and asked him, "Sir, is it really you who sent someone to strangle the Xiao Qi he mentioned?"

From what the assassin just said...

Shao Jingheng was certain that they were bandits.

Then, if you want to prove your innocence, you must find out all the grudges between the assassin and the county magistrate and remove yourself.

When the assassin cursed, Xie Qingbai knew what he was talking about.

He frowned, looked at the assassin and asked.

"You just mentioned Wang Yuanwai, so I want to ask you, after Wang Yuanwai's food price increased, did he force anyone to buy it?"

The assassin was stunned for a moment when asked.

Xie Qingbai continued to ask, "You keep saying that you are helping the victims, but not long ago, Wang Yuanwai was giving porridge outside the city..."

“Who smashed up Wang Yuanwai’s porridge stall, leaving the refugees with no food to eat?”

"And that Xiaoqi you mentioned..."

"Is he the little boy who sells human meat buns in the city?"

"If I remember correctly, that little boy is not what you said and has no evil thoughts towards this world."

“He stole the victims’ children and sold them, slaughtered the old, weak, women and children, and directly skinned them and removed their bones to make stuffing for steamed buns!”

"Shouldn't such a person be killed?"

"The reason why you smashed the soup kitchen stall outside Wang Yuan was because the refugees were all running to get free steamed buns, rice porridge and other food..."

"Would this affect your selling of human meat buns?"

The assassin was immediately speechless when he was told by Xie Qingbai. Everything Xie Qingbai said was true, but...

The assassin hesitated for a moment.

He felt that he could still be saved, so he wanted to refute and deny his account.

But before he could speak, Xie Qingbai was the first to say, "This case was personally tried and concluded by this officer."

"Testimony, witnesses, and I all have it."

"If you feel that I have wronged the beheaded bandits, I can go with you to the county government to investigate the case."

assassin...

At that time, after they were confiscated for selling human flesh buns, Xie Qingbai did not take Xiao Qi and others to justice on the spot, but took them back to the county government office.

At the same time, they also brought many victims with them.

The victims testified that it was Xiao Qi and the brothers who were captured who killed their family members and robbed their children.

Only then did Xie Qingbai convict Xiao Qi and the others.

He was beheaded three days later and displayed to the public.

The evidence from the government is conclusive. Of course, the assassin cannot go back with him. Moreover, if they are imprisoned...

Wouldn't that mean he would also be beheaded?

Although they said they came to kill Xie Qingbai to avenge Xiaoqi and others, in fact...

Before selling human meat buns, they thought that the county magistrate Xie Qingbai might stop them, so they wanted to cooperate with him.

As a result, Xie Qingbai not only disagreed, but also killed their brothers. This was to trample on the face of their bandits!

How can they swallow this breath?!

They must show off the ferocity expected of bandits and kill the county magistrate, so that they can continue to sell human flesh buns.

Vertically speaking, they are doing it for themselves.

Since it's for themselves, they definitely don't want to die.

The assassin fell silent.

Shao Jingheng's acupuncture points are now being held on him. If he wants to run away, he probably won't be able to do so at that moment. He will have to wait for the acupuncture points to be released.

Then he can no longer anger the county magistrate!

Avoid being thrown into jail by him.

After all, if they were imprisoned in a prison, they would definitely not be able to escape due to the heavy guards guarding them both inside and outside.

The only way to escape is to be locked up in Xie Mansion!

But does he think there is any use in pretending to be honest now?

His identity had been revealed just now, and the county magistrate knew that they were fugitives. How could he let them go?

Xie Qingbai said to the steward next to him, "Put them all in jail pending trial!"

These assassins only assassinated the imperial officials, which was enough for them to be executed, and the crime of being fugitives was even more serious.

This can already be executed directly!

But no matter what happens, it must be justified. As the county magistrate, he must give the people an explanation for killing people.

This requires a court hearing to hear the case.

However, this is all a story for another day.

Xie Qingbai looked at Shao Jingheng, with admiration for this young junior in his eyes.

"Young Master Shao really helped me handle a big case this time. Come on, please show me your seat to Young Master Shao."

Shao Jingheng looked at the assassin who was dragged out crying and howling, and then savored Xie Qingbai's words.

The indifferent thin lips are slightly hooked.

In fact, he didn't know that they were bandits at first, let alone that they were criminals. The reason why he bombed the assassin was just to prove his innocence.

Unexpectedly, by mistake, he helped Xie Qingbai solve the case and caught the criminal.

I guess Xie Qingbai should be thinking about it now...

No wonder Young Master Shao didn't come to inform him last night. It turned out that he wanted to kill all these bandits today.

Xie Qingbai indeed thought so.

He also praised Shao Jingheng with a smile, "You are really a formidable person."

Shao Jingheng sat down without ceremony.

He did not hesitate to accept Xie Qingbai's praise.

After a moment of silence, it was time to get down to business.

He told Xie Qingbai that he wanted to take part in the imperial examination but had not had time to register, and then stood up.

He saluted Xie Qingbai and said, "I would like to ask you to help me get a chance to take the imperial examination."

"The young student will definitely work harder to make sure the help from adults is not in vain. If he becomes a high school scholar in the future, he will definitely not forget the kindness from adults."

Xie Qingbai thought it was something.

So it’s just such a small thing?

He immediately agreed, "I'll go to the academy with you right now and ask the dean to apply for an additional spot for you."

"What do you think?"

Shao Jingheng was of course grateful. His usually dim eyes rarely flashed with light, but he remained calm and self-possessed.

Thank you to Xie Qingbai, "Thank you, sir."

Here, Shao Jingheng's quota is basically guaranteed, and on the other hand...

It was already an hour later when the little nun woke up.

The poison of the donor Chu has been cured, so she can return to the escape team after her success.
