Chapter 189 Standing on the moral high ground and pointing fingers
After driving away Xia Yanzhen and the other five people, the chief clerk stood up, called several government servants, and escorted him out of the government office.
The prisoner escaped, Dian Shi and the jailer disappeared, could it be... Tian Xin Hui?
Others don't know, but Que Zijin knows that during this period, there were indeed demons from the Tianxinhui who appeared in Qingwu Mansion.
If this matter is really done by the demons of Tianxinhui, then it is not a trivial matter.
The matter is beyond what a small chief clerk can handle.
Where are the magistrate and the magistrate? Come and save me!
After getting on the sedan chair, Que Zijin urged the bearer to run and go find Fu Cheng first.
Fu Cheng lives relatively close to Fu Yamen.
After arriving, Que Zijin knocked on the door and found out that Fu Cheng was not at home tonight and had gone to Qinhuai Lake.
Que Zijin asked the bearer to go to the magistrate's house again.
The magistrate's house is closer than that of Qinhuai Lake.
The magistrate would go to Qinhuai Lake to spend the night, but the magistrate never went.
It's not because the magistrate keeps his integrity, but because anyone in Qingcheng who is not deaf or blind knows that this Qingwu City is wrong - even the most beautiful girl in the entire Qingwu Mansion is not by the Qinhuai Lake.
And in the mansion of the prefect.
The prefect had a total of thirty concubines, and within ten years, all the courtesans in Qinhuai Lake were in his hands.
This year, several small buildings and boats on the shores of Qinhuai Lake have not yet chosen their oiran.
After being elected, he will probably enter the prefect's mansion.
This is the case now.
Why does the prefect need to go to the lakeside? If there is really a need, let those people send people here.
The prefect is definitely in the mansion, no need to think about it.
When Que Zijin went to find the prefect, Xia Yanzhen and the others also returned to the rest room of the underground prison.
Before leaving, Que Zijin ordered the government officials to guard the underground prison.
Several government officials went in and saw the big hole in the cell. They were timid and did not want to go in again, so they guarded the entrance on the ground.
Tao E went back to the underground prison alone and chatted with the government officials above.
Without leaving any trace, he brought the topic to the Tianxin Conference.
Guided intentionally or unintentionally.
Three people make a tiger, and a crowd of words makes a gold.
Tianxinhui will bear this responsibility!
Tao E spread the news about Tianxinhui as much as possible, causing the officials to panic.
Que Zijin went to the magistrate's residence and did not come back all night.
At dawn, Que Zijin returned to the government office.
He discovered that among the government officials who were still in the government office, news had spread that prisoners had escaped from prison and that Dianshi government officials were missing, which was related to Tianxinhui.
Que Zijin thought about it and instinctively wanted to find Wang Youcai to learn more.
Then he realized that Wang Youcai was the missing person, so he had the three prison chiefs Zhang and Li called to the government office.
The three prison guards arrived in a hurry and were asked by Que Zijin about the recent affairs of the government office.
Zhang Pan and Li Zi remembered that Tao E had mentioned the disappearance of Lan Luo to them, and then mentioned Tianxinhui.
Plus what happened last night.
Could it be that it is really Tianxinhui?
Zhang Pan and Li Zi did not dare to neglect and immediately explained the situation. Of course, they would definitely use the Spring and Autumn style of writing and would not say that "Tao Da" mentioned Tianxinhui.
It was just that Lan Luo was missing, and they suspected it might be related to the Tianxin Society, and they had vaguely heard some news.
If the chief clerk knew that someone had mentioned Tianxinhui to them, they would not care about it because they believed that doing more would be better than doing less, which would make people shut up.
Now that something happened again, if they were angered, they wouldn't get a good harvest.
I will go to Tao Da later and ask him to be tight-lipped and not to mention anything about Tianxinhui.
Oh, it doesn't matter now, news about Tianxinhui is spreading everywhere in the government office.
They say Tianxinhui just goes with the flow.
Que Zijin heard that the two cell bosses were talking about Tianxinhui, and coupled with the news circulating in the government office, he started to think twice.
The organization Tianxinhui is itself against the imperial court!
In addition, he did appear in Qingwu Mansion, so even if someone from the Tianxin Society did not do it himself, the incident of escaping from prison and disappearing cannot be separated from them!
It is not incomprehensible that Tianxin would take action against people in the government office.
Que Zijin waved his hand and signaled several prison guards to go down, then left the government office again and headed to the magistrate's residence.
Soon, an order came out that all government officials, whether they had rest or not, should go to the government office immediately.
Chen hour has just arrived, which is eight o'clock in the morning.
There are more than two hundred government officials gathered in the government office. They each have their own responsibilities and are responsible for different areas, such as anti-theft, prison guarding, tax collection, security patrols, etc.
Bidige
Basically, they are the "gears" that make up the daily life of the government office.
The government cannot do without them.
Xia Yanzhen and the other five were also among them, and the jailers were also a type of government servants.
From eight o'clock in the morning until about nine o'clock.
The prefect Wu Mu, whom he had not seen for nearly two days after entering the mission world, finally appeared.
When they saw Wu Mu, Xia Yanzhen and the others judged that this person was definitely an extraordinary person and had nothing to do with his status. They could tell just by looking at his appearance.
Wu Mu is more than two meters tall, and his figure is even more amazing. His horizontal and vertical growth is estimated to be more than two meters.
The protruding belly is exaggerated, enough to accommodate a person.
The man stood there like a mountain of flesh, his face was crowded with flesh, and his eyes were narrowed into two slits.
In stark contrast to his eyes, is his square nose and wide mouth.
With its mouth open, it looks like it can eat children alive.
Wearing that official uniform, it felt like a tight-fitting suit.
Two characters are evident all over his body - big and strong.
Yes, Ebony doesn't look fat to others. Most people would be unable to walk if they looked like him.
When Ebony walked, he felt full of pressure, more like a moving mountain.
No one thinks this person is fat, they just think he is strong.
"The demon from Tianxinhui appears, provoking the majesty of our government office." Wumu stood high in the main hall, his voice was loud and full of majesty, "From today on, you all over the city will trace the whereabouts of the demon from Tianxinhui, and whoever can capture him will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!"
"
As soon as these words came out, especially the final reward of a hundred taels of silver, many government officials became restless.
Let's put it this way, even an old government official who has a good job, such as Wang Dianshi, can only earn this amount in a year under normal circumstances.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! One hundred taels is enough to make 99% of the government officials "beat their hearts".
After saying this, Wu Mu waved his hand, indicating that everyone could leave.
A group of people have been waiting for so long, just waiting for a word from him.
After they dispersed, it was naturally impossible for the government officials to immediately look for members of the Tianxin Society. They still had their own work to do.
The government officials who were in charge of guarding and could not move scratched their heads and wished they could "get off work" immediately.
Xia Yanzhen and the others have a rest today, so they can fully concentrate on looking for Tianxinhui.
Several people left the government office and headed towards Wang Dong's house. Tao E left on the way to confirm the situation at Yang Xianglian's side.
"Come here, something happened."
Not long after, Tao E's words came through the team channel.
"Huh?" Several people immediately walked towards Tao E's house, "What happened?"
"Someone has kidnapped Yang Xianglian and is waiting for us. I don't know who he is," Tao E said.
In the room, Yang Xianglian was tied up with an unknown object stuffed in her mouth, and she lay motionless on the bed.
Beside the bed, there was a man sitting with a black cloth covering the lower half of his face. He held a dagger in his hand and put it on Yang Xianglian's neck. He looked at Tao E who had just entered with a playful look.
"Who are you?" Tao E asked.
Now is not the time for the Long Zhan Yuye team to arrive, who will this person be?
"Haha." The masked man laughed, "I heard you are looking for us?"
"..." Tao E narrowed his eyes, "Tianxinhui?"
How did Tianxinhui come to the door?
He was a little puzzled. Could it be that Xia Yan was really being targeted last night?
"That's right." The masked man said.
Tao E deliberately remained silent for a while, stalling for time so that Xia Yanzhen and the others could arrive.
After silence, Tao E showed a disappointed expression on his face: "It seems that the Tianxin Society is just a group of people who hide their heads and show their tails, which is disappointing. I originally thought that you would be a group of heroes who saw injustice on the road, but I didn't expect that you would take action against a weak woman...
"Tell me, what are you going to do after tying her up?"
"Aren't you looking for us?" The masked man seemed to be shocked by Tao E's righteous words. He was stunned for a moment before speaking.
He jumped off the topic directly, looking a little guilty.
"I came to you because I heard that your Tianxin Society will punish those corrupt officials and bullies in the fish and meat village." Tao E shook his head, "I want to get acquainted. But I don't want to be a group of people who are just looking for fame, huh!"
At the end, he snorted coldly, deliberately showing his disdain.
The masked man was a little anxious: "Who said I, Tian Xin, would be a person seeking fame and reputation!"
"I said, look at what you are doing now!" Tao E stood on the moral high ground and pointed, mentally secretly thinking, "This kid doesn't look very smart, you can use it."
The masked man's face turned red, and you could see that the upper half of his face not covered by the black cloth also turned red.
He argued vigorously: "You are of unknown origin and are inquiring about my Tianxinhui. Who knows if you are a lackey of the imperial court. We must be more cautious. This is safe..."
A safe thing, could it be kidnapping?
"Is your only option to take an innocent woman hostage?" Tao E continued to point.
"...Not a hostage!" the masked man retorted.
"Haha." Tao E pointed at the dagger in the masked man's hand and sneered.
"I——" The masked man could not refute.
"There is nothing more to say!" Tao E said, "People like you should be pursued by the whole city and arrested!"
"Huh?" The masked man thought he had captured important information that the other party had inadvertently revealed, "What do you mean by that?"
"What do you mean?" Tao E said.
"The whole city pursues it."
"Oh. The prefect just issued an order this morning. He has noticed the existence of your Tianxinhui and is planning to uproot you and eradicate you completely!" Tao E made a gesture of raising a knife and lowering it.
For a human being, it’s a pretty good ending.”
"I'll say it again, I am not a bad person!"
"You dare to say that you are not a bad person, even if you hide your head and hide your tail, kidnapping innocent women and children?" Tao E continued to stimulate the masked man.
"good!"
The masked man shouted low, pulled off the black cloth on his face, and at the same time used a dagger to lift the rope around Yang Xianglian's body, "This will prove that I am not a bad person, right?"
