Chapter 1207: Punishment (2nd Watch)
"Closer to home, we're here for this Twin Dragons Tablet."
"Since this Shuanglong stele appears in this canal, it means that this canal can no longer be grounded."
"The double dragon is a symbol of royalty, and if you dig it any further, it will definitely anger the heavens and bring greater punishment."
"Now I declare that from now on, the digging of the canals will be stopped......"
"Wait!"
"!"
Two voices sounded at the same time, the first sentence was Mu Zichuan's, and the latter was a vulgar sentence......
Everyone looked at Yang Ruoqing.
It turned out to be the mouth of this quiet and handsome girl.
Wei Yixiao himself was also stunned, and his gloomy gaze fell on Yang Ruoqing's body.
"What did you just say?" He asked.
Yang Ruoqing frowned, looked at Wei and smiled: "I said you are!" ”
"You ......," Wei smiled's eyes widened.
"What am I?" Yang Ruoqing's eyes widened even wider than him.
"Let me tell you, this Shuanglong stele was artificially buried!"
"The purpose is to destroy our fortifications, prevent us from digging canals, and prevent us from benefiting the people!"
"The fortification of digging the canal is related to the clothing, food, housing and transportation of the people, and it is not something that can be stopped if you say stop!" She snapped.
Wei smiled and was shocked.
Everyone else was so shocked that their eyes almost fell to the ground.
Mu Zichuan took a deep breath and stood beside Yang Ruoqing with a resolute gaze.
Here, Wei Yixiao finally came back to his senses.
He glared at Yang Ruoqing viciously with a gloomy face: "A mere folk girl, who gave you the courage to collide with the imperial court officials here?" ”
"Whew!"
Yang Ruoqing directly brought out Tan's set.
"Even if the emperor Lao Tzu comes, he has to speak reasonably!"
She said.
"The heavens have mercy on our people, and now the Holy One is even more gracious, sending two ministers to relieve the disaster."
"Digging rivers and canals is a great event for the benefit of the township and future generations."
"God will only reward, and will definitely not condemn!"
"That Shuanglong stone tablet, there is obviously a problem, we are investigating, and it will be clear soon."
"But Lord Wei, what are your intentions in trying so hard to prevent us from digging rivers and canals and preventing us from benefiting the township?"
Wei Yixiao was completely stunned.
I didn't expect to come prepared, but I was questioned by a folk girl in public.
He was also speechless when questioned.
"Okay, since you keep saying that the stone tablet is tricky, then you come up with evidence!" Wei Yi said angrily.
"If I can get the evidence, I will leave, and if I can't show the evidence, the canal fortifications will be stopped immediately, and you, the people involved, will also be punished!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Zheng, Mu Zichuan and others all gasped.
Yang Ruoqing also frowned lightly.
I didn't expect Wei Yixiao to take this matter as a punishment? Bitten by a mad dog!
Evidence?
Evidence!
"Here's the proof!"
Outside the tent, there was a sudden thunderous shout.
The moment she heard that voice, Yang Ruoqing almost cried with joy.
Luo Fengtang!
Thankfully, it's back!
Beside him, Mu Zichuan was also excited.
Just as he was about to go out to meet him, there were a few clanging sounds outside the tent, followed by the crisp sound of swords falling to the ground, and the muffled grunt of the guards falling to the ground.
"Hmph, I dare to block my way!"
Luo Fengtang snorted coldly, and in the next moment, the curtain of the tent was suddenly lifted.
A tall shadow burst in.
It's Luo Fengtang.
He also carried a burlap bag on his shoulder.
"Who are you? How dare you trespass into your tent and injure the guards? ”
Wei Yi laughed angrily.
Luo Fengtang completely ignored Wei Yiyi and threw the burlap bag he was carrying on his shoulder to the ground.
Then he said to Mu Zichuan and Yang Ruoqing: "The person who carved the stone tablet has found it, and in his house, I found this, which is the mold used to carve the two dragons, and he has admitted it to me!" ”
"Well done!"
Yang Ruoqing said.
Mu Zichuan couldn't help it for a long time, and waved his hand with a certain two people in the tent.
Those two people, although they came down from the county seat with Wei Yixiao to investigate the matter.
However, it was someone from Master Zhang's side who worked with Mu Zichuan.
The two men understood, and immediately came over, untied the burlap bag on the ground, and then dragged out a man with a strip of cloth in his mouth and threw it on the ground.
After hearing a muffled pop, Yang Ruoqing turned around, and her eyes fell on the person lying on the ground.
All eyes in the tent fell on the man on the ground.
"Hiss......"
Li Zheng and several village elders came over, and when they saw the man's face clearly, they all gasped.
"Gu Laojiu? Why are you? Li Zheng called out the name of the person who came at a glance.
Then, he hurriedly smiled at Wei Yi, whose face had changed a little, and said, "Master Wei, this person is a well-known stonemason in the area of our Mianniu Mountain. Almost all of the tombstones in our village were carved by him. ”
Wei Yixiao frowned, waved his hand to the inside, and did not answer.
Yin Qi's gaze locked on Gu Laojiu who was lying on the ground.
And Yang Ruoqing's side, she also glanced at Gu Laojiu who was lying on the ground.
Then he picked up the chiseled tools and molds that Luo Fengtang brought over, and came to Wei Yixiao.
She smiled at Wei Yi and said, "Lord Wei, the stele is a ghost made by this person, if you don't believe it, you can interrogate it again in public." ”
Hearing that he would be interrogated again, Gu Laojiu's body lying on the ground shook violently.
Wei Yi snorted coldly and didn't make a sound.
Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows: "Why doesn't Master Wei interrogate?" Everyone got the stolen goods, and Master Wei snorted, what do you mean? ”
At this time, Li Zheng, who had been pointed at his nose by Wei Yixiao before, also spoke up.
"Master Wei, the initiators have been caught, why don't you interrogate them again?" Rizheng asked.
"We are all honest farmers, Master Wei should not bully us who have not studied......"
Wei Yixiao's eyebrows furrowed, and his gaze fell on Gu Laojiu on the ground.
Didn't this stupid guy let him run away after finishing the stele? Why did you still get caught!
Not useful!
"Gu Laojiu, right?"
Wei Yi smiled.
"Now they say that this stele is your ghost, is it? You are truthful! ”
"Lord Ben will not let go of a bad person, and he will never wronged a good person."
"Don't be afraid, with Lord Ben here, it really wasn't you who did it, no one dares to do anything to you!"
Wei Yi said with a smile.
The shelter between the words, the people in the tent heard it well.
Who knows, after Gu Laojiu heard Wei Yixiao's words, his body trembled even more.
"I'll recruit me, I'll recruit all!"
"It's me, it's me who buried that Shuanglong stele, it's me who deliberately made it......"
As soon as Gu Laojiu's words came out, Wei Yi was stunned, strongly suspecting that he had heard it wrong.
"Gu Laojiu ......"
Wei smiled and opened his mouth again, but he was interrupted by Gu Laojiu just now.
