Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

Chapter 142 1 Group of Idiots

Li Xu didn't wait for Lao Qi to come, but he waited for the yamen servants first. More than a dozen yamen servants rushed into the inn aggressively, followed by Qi's mother and son who were crying. What a grievance.

"Arrest and arrest these two prisoners!" Mrs. Qi shouted heartbreakingly.

The yamen servants didn't want to listen to a shrew at all, but the purpose of their trip was to arrest people, so there was nothing to tangle with, so the leader of the policeman took a step forward and drew his knife at He Zun, "You two should be arrested without a fight, and walk with us for a while." trip."

This business-like tone made Li Xu feel that the government of Yongzhou could still be saved, so he explained today's facts. He didn't care if the other party listened or not, he just told the onlookers.

Sure enough, the little catcher said helplessly: "The county magistrate will judge right and wrong, and I am only responsible for arresting people." The little catcher waved his hand and shouted: "Go."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a flash of a knife in front of his eyes, and the saber he stretched out was cut in two. Looking at the other party again, the man wearing the mask had put the knife back into its sheath calmly, as if nothing had happened just now .

This move was so sharp that the servants who were about to start it all stopped and looked at each other in disbelief.

"Get out!" He Zun yelled angrily, "Dare to step forward, people are so sharp."

"How dare you!" The little catcher looked at his broken knife heartbrokenly. It was his family's ancestral treasure. Before his father passed away, he passed him the position of catcher together with him. It's old, but it's also a knife.

Li Xu laughed at this time, and commented: "Your knife is rusty, and the blade is curled, the quality is not good." This kind of knife cuts people, and those who are not skilled may not even be able to kill people.

"Wait, this is contempt for the government. To put it seriously, it can be killed on the spot."

He Zun sneered, "That also depends on your ability."

Behind the crowd, Qi Erlang dragged his mother to retreat quietly, and said in a low voice, "Hurry up, hurry up, that's a killing god. It seems that this revenge can't be avenged for the time being."

Mrs. Qi supported her son and gasped for breath, shaking her head full of emerald jewels. She gritted her teeth and said, "Isn't it just a bit of martial arts? Our family is rich, so we just need to hire a few masters." How did she know that the real Jiang Hu Most of them are rangers who have nothing to do and are idle. These people may not be very capable, and they are definitely not small. Most of the real masters are the country's important weapons. How can a merchant in a small place be able to hire them.

Suddenly, a ball of meat tied up with five flowers was thrown in. After a howl, the servants were so shocked that they couldn't hold the knives in their hands. What kind of monsters are these people? They even tied up the county magistrate.

"You, you..."

Li Xu stepped forward and said calmly to the little policeman, "You all stand down first, let me and your master have a few words first, and we will discuss what to do later."

The little catch quickly nodded subconsciously, and realized something was wrong after nodding, why did he listen to this young man.

"Hurry up and let the county magistrate go. This is a capital offense."

He Zun didn't say a word, stepped forward and grabbed him by the collar and threw him out of the door. The rest of the people didn't dare to let him get close, and obediently walked out of the door.

The ball on the ground rolled in a circle, and finally turned upside down. Li Xu could see his appearance clearly. He was not ugly, just an ordinary fat man in his thirties, with a goatee, who appeared in TV dramas. Here is a bad role for the entertainment of the public.

"Untie him first, so it's not easy to talk." Li Xu automatically ignored the other party's rustic curses, anyway, he couldn't understand them too fast. What's your name? How many years have you been an official?"

This opening statement was too direct, the fat county magistrate shut his mouth in a daze, and answered obediently under Li Xu's captivating aura: "My surname is Wei, and I have been an official for fifteen years. Who are you waiting for, who dare to attack me?"

Although he has been a petty official all his life, his eyesight is much better than that of Qi Erlang. One look at Li Xu and he knows that this person is of extraordinary status, definitely not just an ordinary wealthy family.

He shrank his neck and asked: "Although I don't know what happened yet, don't worry, as long as I let you go, everything will be easy to talk about."

Li Xu smiled and said gently: "No hurry, Mr. Wei is here to discuss this matter, you should understand what happened before you talk about it." He also can't just say that he is not A good official, let alone conclude that he is a corrupt official just because he is fat, he must be given a chance to defend himself.

Lao Qi recounted the incident in detail, with a steady tone, without any embellishment, which made Li Xu nod secretly, he is a talent that can be used.

After he finished speaking, Li Xu asked again: "Master Wei, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

If it were ordinary people, Mr. Wei would definitely be helping his son, no matter what he did, it was all his own son, but at this moment, his not-so-smart head was still functioning, and he said immediately: " Don't worry, I will definitely find out the truth about this matter, and I will definitely not wrong a good person." Cha will definitely investigate, he must find out who this young man is, if he can't afford to offend him, today's hatred will be a hundredfold Take it back.

Li Xu didn't care what he was thinking at all, and reluctantly nodded when he heard the answer, "It's okay, we should give Lord Wei some time to ask questions, then set up a court here and bring everyone to face to face."

Li Xu's words were the imperial decree, He Zun went out and informed the yamen servants to bring all the people he brought, especially the county magistrate, he must come, if no one comes, his father will continue to stay here.

These words were very effective, and the servants dispersed to invite people, and Qi's mother and son, who had not gone far, were quickly brought, and then stared blankly at the county magistrate Wei sitting in the lobby.

The two families can be regarded as having a little friendship, Mrs. Qi asked in surprise: "Why is Master Wei here?"

County Magistrate Wei was so angry when he saw the mother and son. To put it bluntly, this matter was all caused by Qi Erlang. He usually sneaked around and bullied men and women, but he actually bribed his son to arrest people randomly and arrest people. Just arrest people, idiots who don't even have a legitimate reason, and who don't know how to frame him, and that kid from his family, what good can they get out of hanging around with such people all day long.

County magistrate Wei rolled his eyes and snorted coldly, ignoring them.

The people in the prison were also brought in. They had just changed into their prison clothes and were thrown into the dirty cell. They were brought out before they even had a bite of lunch, because they left in a hurry and were still wearing their prison clothes.

When we got to the place, we could see what was going on just by looking at the scene. Mr. Li who could bring out the best rock tea and high-quality tea sets was definitely not an ordinary person. Qi Erlang kicked the iron plate, it's time!

The county magistrate was the last one to arrive. Seeing his father sitting intact, he immediately became imposing, pointed at Li Xu and the others, and reprimanded him, "You guys are the ones who kidnapped my father? You are not small!"

"Shut up!" County magistrate Wei didn't let him continue, if it would be useful to show off his prestige, he wouldn't be sitting here.

The matter couldn't stand the trial at all. Qi Erlang said that Li Xu and the others stole his belongings and injured him. He didn't even steal anything in the guest room, even if it was his own belt, at least it could prove that others took his things.

Looking at himself again, although his body was drenched and his face was pale, he could run and jump, and the medical expenses would be paid for such an injury, which was not at all the level of criminal detention.

County magistrate Wei racked his brains and couldn't support the original verdict, and secretly hated a group of idiots.

Qi Erlang also knew where the problem was, hugged his stomach and wailed, lay down on the ground, then pointed to the jade pendant on Li Xu's waist and said: "My lord, the jade pendant on that man's waist belongs to Cao Min, he not only stole Cao Min's The jade pendant also kicked the grassroots." After speaking, he unbuttoned his robe, revealing his bruised belly.

Li Xu's kick was strong, and it would indeed leave a mark, but he picked up the jade pendant on his waist, and asked with a strange expression: "Are you sure this is your thing?"

The jade pendant knew it was worth a lot at a glance, of course Qi Erlang insisted that it was his, he laughed secretly at himself for being so smart.

Li Xu took off the jade pendant and handed it to He Zun, "Then show Master Wei a look, and see if you can tell whose jade pendant it is."

He Zun flashed the things in front of County Magistrate Wei's eyes, and then put them away, without giving him a second chance to look at them.

"I don't know how Master Wei will tell who the owner of the jade pendant is? Or does Qi Erlang have evidence to prove that it is yours?"

Qi Erlang said loudly: "Of course it can be proved that it was given to me by my mother when I was ten years old, right, mother." He winked at Mrs. Qi, and the other party nodded politely: "Yes, it is I bought it for my son's birthday when he was ten years old."

Li Xu nodded and stopped asking any more. If he was asked who witnesses he had, he would probably call his whole family to be witnesses.

County magistrate Wei felt that Qi Erlang was still a bit smart at this moment, so he pointed the finger at Li Xu and asked, "Then what evidence do you have to prove that the jade pendant is yours?"

Li Xu asked back: "If I can prove that the jade pendant is mine, the case will be closed?" To be honest, he doesn't really want to waste time on this kind of matter, so he might as well go out and see the local scenery .

"Of course, if the owner of the jade pendant is you, then Qi Erlang is lying, and naturally there is no such thing as stealing."

"Mu Lan, show Master Wei one more time. My jade pendant has the word "Xu" engraved on it. That's my name." Li Xu really has to thank people of this age for the habit of always like to engrave labels on items, Li Xu Many of Xu's personal items are either engraved with the palace's mark or his personal mark, which are very easy to recognize.

Of course, he also has a prince jade pendant, which represents his status, but it is a pity that these people may not know each other.

County magistrate Wei opened his eyes wide and saw the word "Xu", so it's hard to refute. You can't say that the jade pendant had this word on it when Mrs. Qi bought it, not to mention that it happened to be someone else's. name.

But this word is so familiar. Whose name is taboo in my impression is also this.

He Zun returned the jade pendant to Li Xu, and Li Xu put it back on his waist and asked, "Is this case closed?"

County magistrate Wei obviously didn't want to let them go like this, but he couldn't do anything about them for a while, so he had an idea and said: "Since there are suspicions, let's dig out all the luggage and have a look. If there are other people's things, we can't deny them."

Li Xu laughed back angrily: "Then do you have to prove that everything in the luggage is yours? I don't think anyone will engrave words on clothes, shoes and socks, so how to tell?"

Seeing that County Magistrate Wei insisted on going his own way, and there were several people booing beside him, Li Xu stood up, "Okay, this case is over here, everyone knows if they stole or not, and beatings are indeed punishable, this can't be blamed, Lord Wei can pass the sentence."

What he said was straightforward, coupled with the forceful aura of being in the top position for a long time, no one dared to object, Wei County magistrate smiled coyly, "That's right, I'm confused. If that's the case, let those people go. People are accused of crimes, since it is a minor injury, it is sufficient to settle the compensation as appropriate."

Li Xu nodded in satisfaction, and gave He Zun a wink. The latter reluctantly took out a tael of silver and threw it on Qi Erlang, slandering that the injury must not be worth a tael, should he make up for it? .

Seeing that the matter was easily resolved, the arrested businessmen breathed a sigh of relief. They had no background and no money. If they were really wronged and imprisoned, they might not be able to get out for the rest of their lives. As far as the conditions of the prison were concerned, they might not even be able to survive. to the day of judgment.

They all thanked Li Xu, and then deeply felt that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so they went upstairs to take their luggage and left in a hurry. If they were timid, they might never dare to set foot in Yongzhou again in this life.

Qi Erlang naturally didn't want a tael of silver, Li Xu and the others tortured him so badly, how could this little money be enough?But the county magistrate has already sentenced the case, so it is useless for him to say more.

"Since the case is closed, then this officer..." Magistrate Wei huddled his fat face into a ball, waiting for Li Xu to nod to let him leave. In his opinion, the matter is over here. irrelevant.

"Master Wei, wait a moment, there is still a case to be tried." Li Xu took a step back, pointing to the fragments on the ground, and said, "I want to sue Qi Jia Erlang for destroying my ancestral tea set and teacups. Liancheng is made of the finest golden nanmu, and the teapots and teacups are also the finest purple clay. According to the market value, even this inn may not be able to cover my loss, how do you think it should be judged?"

Everyone was dumbfounded, a set of tea sets and cups is worth an inn?What a rare treasure.
