In fact, the bandits had already guessed the clues from Dongming Ziyu's well-trained skills, and now seeing the fish charm representing the official's identity further confirmed their guess.

Zhu Shenzhi had also been a high official in the imperial court and was very skilled in interrogation. He said to the bandit: "I advise you to seize this opportunity to make meritorious service. Whether you will be beheaded, exiled, or be punished as a rumor servant is all up to you, sir."

In the blink of an eye, you have to think about it. If you don't tell me honestly, there are so many people kneeling there, and some of them want this opportunity."

The bandits are originally a mob with no backbone. As soon as they heard that they could save their lives, they immediately said: "Sir, please spare my life. If you ask, I will give you a good answer!"

Dongming Ziyu asked: "How long have you been doing this? Does the local government care about it?"

The bandit said: "We have been working for five or six years. This Liger Mountain is at the junction of Shiniu County and Shanyang County. The two counties are pushing each other and neither is willing to take care of it.

Shanyang County is too small, so it is usually pushed to Shiniu County, but Shiniu County has already been taken care of, so it will either be pushed to Yangtze County again, or it will be done in a superficial way to fool people."

Dongming Ziyu's eyes flashed, "Who in Shiniu County is colluding with you?"

The bandit was frightened by his momentum and said hurriedly: "Actually, actually, our real boss is Inspector Zhao from Shiniu County!"

Wulang listened on the side and said: "Inspection? Didn't my sister-in-law's father do inspections before? He has more than a hundred soldiers under his command to maintain law and order. He is supposed to suppress bandits, but he colludes with bandits!"

Dongming Ziyu nodded slightly, "Although he is a low-ranking official, he will not be transferred. He has been entrenched in the local area for a long time and has a network and power base. However, he must not be an ordinary local snake who dares to collude with bandits. There is also a county magistrate above him.

, County Magistrate, County Lieutenant, he must first settle their superiors."

The bandit hurriedly flattered him and said: "Your Excellency is wise, and your guess is so right. I heard that one of the girls inspected by Zhao is the aunt of General Li, the border guard, and she must be pampered! All the officials in the county government are afraid of him, and he

It’s more effective than the county magistrate’s words!”

Shangguan Ruoli raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Dongming Ziyu. They were going to guard the border this time. Unexpectedly, before they reached their destination, the biggest guard among the guards was involved.

Bit.

The bandit continued: "Also, the Zhao family behind Inspector Zhao is the richest family in Shiniu County. The largest cloth shop, grain shop, medicine shop, tea shop, and grocery store in Shiniu County all belong to the Zhao family.

We also give 60% of the property we robbed to Zhao for inspection, and we usually secretly do some shady things for him."

Dongming Ziyu asked: "Is there any evidence for what you said?"

The bandit said: "No, the only people who usually meet and contact Inspector Zhao are the first master and the second master, but they were all killed by you."

Dongming Ziyu: "..."

So sloppy!

The main reason is that I didn't expect that the gangsters would collude so closely. It was like treating the bandits as their own thugs.

However, although the direct witness was dead, the confessions of these bandits are still valuable.

Zhu Shenzhi led his men to interrogate the bandits one by one. They carefully recorded what they had done, when they had done it, and with whom they had done it, and asked them to press their fingerprints.

When Dongming Ziyu and his party led two carts of corpses and a group of bandits into Shiniu County, it caused a sensation. Anyone who recognized the bandits rushed to tell them.

Someone entered the county government office. Soon, the county magistrate, the chief secretary, the history officer, the inspector and others all ran out with different expressions, which was very exciting.

Dongming Ziyu was riding on a tall horse, squinting at the group of people, and asked quietly: "Who is Inspector Zhao?"

Inspector Zhao walked out of the queue calmly and asked sternly: "Who are you? How dare you kill someone! You even drag the corpse through the market. It's so lawless!"

Dongming Ziyu glanced at Dongshi, who took out the appointment documents, identity guide, and fish talisman official badges and showed them to them.

Zhu Shenzhi said loudly in the local dialect: "This is the new magistrate of Shiniu County! On the way, he encountered mountain bandits who assassinated him, an official of the imperial court! The magistrate killed them and captured more than 70 mountain bandits.

bandit!"

The bandits thought in despair: Are we going to assassinate the imperial official? Do you think we have a long life? You brought so much goods, we thought you were just passing merchants!

Inspector Zhao looked at the ID card and looked a little unhappy.

Dongming Ziyu turned over and dismounted, looking at him coldly, "I just came to your place. I have no grievances. Why did they assassinate me?"

Inspector Zhao's heart skipped a beat, "How do I know?"
