Chapter 564 - All parties play hole cards
"My lord, please look!" Just when Cui Geng was full of doubts, Zhou Xing had already handed over the ledger.
Cui Geng opened it and took a look, and suddenly felt tired in his heart!
But it turned out that eighty percent of the officials on this account book were surnamed Li.
If one or two surnamed Li can be explained by coincidence, then so many people with the surname Li are undoubtedly the people of the Li family of Longxi and the Li family of Zhao County!
Cui Geng secretly pondered in his heart, the five surnames and seven hopes are in the same spirit, one is lost, and the other is prosperous. It's okay to investigate one or two people with five surnames and seven hopes by yourself, but if you investigate so many people at once, I'm afraid you will be suspected of betraying the family.
But to keep the ledger thing down? No kidding, under the gaze of four or five thousand people, how is that possible?
"The account book has been obtained, and I ask Cui to visit the slave family to be the master of the slave family and avenge the torture and assassination!" At this moment, Xiao Wuniang's voice sounded out inopportunely.
Cui Geng was slightly stunned and said, "What?" Do you know what's written in this ledger? ”
Xiao Wuniang said firmly: "Of course, what is written is how the magistrate of Meizhou privately divided the six thousand taels of gold. ”
"Have you seen this ledger?"
"This is the concubine's own hand into the coffin, how can you not know?"
"Then why didn't you tell this official before?"
Xiao Wuniang suddenly had bright big eyes, full of innocence, and said, "Where did Cui Chayu come from?" Isn't it because the concubine told you about the account book that you want to open the coffin for an autopsy? ”
"I ......"
Cui Geng was speechless for a while, but he had already figured out the cause and effect of the matter in his mind: I was fooled, I was fooled! This account book may have been put in by Xiao Wuniang when Xing Wen was buried, or it may have been secretly done by crying and mourning just now. But, no matter what, Xiao Wuniang and I are not of the same mind, that's for sure.
She is so deliberate, and at this time to let this account book appear in front of the world, I am afraid that it is not to let the official avenge the criminal text, but to make it difficult for me to cheat for personal gain, and I have to directly confront the Li family!
I am against the Li family, what good can it do to Xiao Wuniang? I'm afraid there is another lord behind her!
In fact, Xiao Wuniang didn't understand that as soon as her words came out, Cui Geng would see through them.
However, if you don't say it yourself, won't Cui Geng understand? How is that possible?
I changed my plan by myself, and there were many loopholes in my words. For example, what Cui Geng asked just now, why didn't he mention the account book before, but now he only mentions it? It's not clear at all!
Moreover, even if Cui Geng knew that he had deceived him, what could he do? Anyway, his purpose is to provoke the relationship between him and the Li family in Longxi, and now the goal has been achieved.
As for Cui Geng's later revenge? Hehe, if you do things for your husband, you will die, so why are you afraid?
Thinking of this, she calmly met Cui Geng's angry gaze, and continued to say firmly: "Now that the account book is in hand, please also ask Cui to visit and bring the corrupt officials and corrupt officials of Jiannan Province to justice, and avenge the torture of Shi Shi!" ”
However, Xiao Wuniang put her life and death aside, and her father Xiao couldn't let it go!
Old man Xiao was originally dissatisfied with Li Xiu forcing Xiao Wuniang to dedicate herself to Cui Geng, but now seeing that his daughter will face Cui Geng's anger, he can't help but be full of anger towards Li Xiu!
He secretly thought in his heart, Cui Geng is famous all over the world, how can he be good with his generation? Even if you have a hard fight with the Li family in Longxi, you can't take care of you Li Xiu, can't you still take care of Wuniang?
The old man is loyal to you, and you just bullied my daughter, and now you don't care about her life and death, which is really disappointing to the old man! No way! I must find a way to save Wu Niang's life, even if I destroy your plan, I will not hesitate to do so, in the end...... What to do?
For a while, Cui Geng, Xiao Wuniang, and Xiao Fang were speechless for a while.
But the people, under the guidance of those who have a heart, continue to coax.
"The account book is there, and Cui Chawan didn't order to take people, could it be that he suddenly found out that there are some people in the account book, and it's really not good to offend?"
"Hehe, what Cui Qingtian, it's really hard to be worthy of his fame!"
"Officials protect each other, it has been like this since ancient times, and you only understand it now!"
……
These voices were extremely harsh, Cui Geng's face was feverish, and as soon as he gritted his teeth and was ruthless, he was ready to arrest people according to the list on the ledger first.
However, at this moment, among the officials who were suddenly present, someone said in a loud voice: "Cui Cha visited, the account book is not enough, I have something to say!" ”
Immediately after, the green robe flashed, and a small official came out of the crowd.
This man looked to be in his thirties, with dark skin, thin and withered, small eyes, a collapsed nose, a slung-mouth, and two big yellow teeth.
Cui Geng really didn't know him, and said, "Who are you?" ”
"Qi Yu Cui visited, the official surname is Niu, the name is Xian, it is a list of the Meizhou Thorn History Mansion, and the rank is nine products."
"Oh, it turned out to be a cow record. Why did you just say that the ledger is not enough? ”
Niu Xian bared his teeth and smiled, "Because I forged this account book!" ”
"Nonsense!"
Xiao Wuniang was really anxious this time, and said: "The account book is obviously Li ...... Ah, no, the assassination history sent someone to steal it, why do you say that you forged it? ”
"Why?" Niu Xian snorted very obscenely and said, "Of course, it's based on the relationship between the two of us!" ”
"What do I have to do with you?"
"Look, look, you're talking nonsense again, aren't you?" Niu Xian snorted, first glanced around, and then pulled his neck and shouted with the greatest strength: "We two committed adultery, I slept with you!" ”
This was said very vulgarly, but it expressed the meaning vividly, and the audience was in an uproar.
To be honest, most people don't believe Niu Xian's words at all. Without it, this guy is too ugly. Even if Xiao Wuniang wants to find someone to commit adultery, why do you have to find a handsome guy like Cui Geng, right? After 10,000 years, it will not be Niu Xian's turn.
Immediately, someone shouted: "Niu Xian, don't think that your surname is Niu, you can brag casually!" Tell me yourself, what is worthy of Little Lady Xiao? ”
Niu Xian pointed to his crotch without hesitation~ and said: "What's the use of a man just looking good?" This place has to be amazing! Me and Xiao Wuniang, that's called a talented woman! ”
"Aren't you arguing?"
"What's the strong argument? You don't believe it? Niu Xian folded his chest shyly, and said proudly: "Then I will talk about me and Xiao Wuniang in public......
Although everyone didn't believe it, it didn't prevent everyone from wanting to hear this kind of affair, and the audience was silent all of a sudden.
Then, Niu Xian told a story that had been made up a long time ago.
In this story, Niu Xian has coveted Xiao Wuniang's beauty for a long time, and one day finally found an opportunity to bow to Xiao Wuniang's overlord. As a result, Xiao Wuniang knew the taste of marrow and got along with him for a long time.
Later, one day, Xing Wen broke through this adultery and forced Niu Xian to find a way to find evidence of corruption and perversion of the law by local officials in Meizhou.
Niu Xian couldn't find the incriminating evidence, so in desperation, he forged one and handed it over.
However, Xingwen still hated Niu Xian deeply, and was prepared to find a mistake and put him to death. Fortunately, Xiao Wuniang found out about it, and finally conspired with Niu Xian to poison Xing Wen.
Niu Xian thought that from then on, he would be able to stay with Xiao Wuniang and fly in pairs~ but he didn't expect Cui Geng to come, Xiao Wuniang empathized and said goodbye.
Therefore, he would rather admit the crime of murder today than drag Xiao Wuniang to die together.
In the end, Niu Xian sneered for a while: "Xiao Wuniang, you think that the account book of the stolen goods is real, first hid it in Xing Wen's coffin, and then wanted to use it to curry favor with Cui Chayu!" I didn't expect it, this ledger was originally fake, you were fooled, haha! ”
At this time, Xiao Wuniang was so hung out of breath and fainted!
It's just that Niu Xian framed himself, why did he still frame himself for having a leg with him? Look at what he said about himself, it's just the worst baby~ woman!
Xiao Wuniang said angrily: "The surname is Niu, you are so bloody that you spew blood!" These things are unfounded, don't you make it up to you? No one will believe it. ”
"Unsubstantiated? I've got the credentials! ”
"What credentials?"
Niu Xian's next sentence directly stunned everyone, and said: "Xingwen was killed by the two of us, but except for me, no one knows what kind of poison he has in him, and why the corpse is not rotten." Now, I can announce this answer to the world! ”
