Master Fang and Master Jia really want to shake Master Tu out, but they know very well that they will not get any benefits if Master Tu is bitten out, and if Master Tu falls, there will be no one to protect them.
The two opened their mouths to speak, but they stayed awake at the critical moment and paused.
Huh... Master Tu's heart almost stopped. Just when he was thinking about how to escape this crisis, Master Fang and Master Jia spoke again. This time, without any hesitation, they opened their mouths and said: "Yes.
, it was Northern Qi, it was Northern Qi people who taught us to do this."
At the critical moment, he did not bite Master Tu out, but put all the blame on Bei Qi. Master Tu didn't show it on his face, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: It's okay for now!
As for what happens next?
As long as King Qin is dead, who will have time to remember these little things.
Qin Jiyan didn't believe in the statement "it was taught by people from the Northern Qi Dynasty", but Master Fang and Master Jia rarely persisted in insisting on this statement. Even after repeated questioning, these two people refused to tell the truth.
, there is no way to use torture in the autopsy room, so we have to take the person under custody first.
The guards dragged Master Fang and Master Jia down. The two people did not resist, but gave Master Tu a meaningful look before leaving.
Others didn't understand what that look meant, but Mr. Tu understood: it was a request and a threat.
Asking him to save those two idiots was also threatening him. If he didn't save them, they would bite him out.
Mr. Tu lowered his head to hide the coldness in his eyes. Two idiots dared to threaten him!
Master An's body was not in Da Qin's hands, and Qin Jiyan and Gu Qiancheng couldn't examine it, so they had to beat him back home. As for Mr. Fang and Mr. Jia?
After all, he was an official of the imperial court, so Qin Jiyan did not make things difficult for them for the time being. He just locked the two of them in jail and then ordered people to investigate the matter.
After explaining everything one by one, Qin Jiyan had time to look at Mr. Tu, who was always following him carefully.
"Lord Tu, you cannot absolve yourself of the blame for something like this happening under your rule." Qin Jiyan did not believe that Lord Tu was clean, but he had only been in the border town for too short a time, and the border town had always been controlled by Lord Tu.
It is really not easy to find evidence of Master Tu's crime.
"I have neglected my duties, please ask the prince to punish me." Mr. Tu was very straightforward and knelt down to apologize without saying a word.
"Your supervision was not good, and the officials under your control colluded with the Northern Qi Dynasty without knowing it. I will fire you from your post today. You should reflect on it at home." Qin Jiyan was not polite and took the opportunity to take over the political power of the border town.
When the parents of Border Town were dismissed from their posts, things in Border Town would naturally fall into the hands of others, and it was Qin Jiyan who had the final say as to who this stranger was.
I thought Lord Tu would defend himself or resist a little, but he didn't...
Master Tu only said a few token words, and then let the guards take away his official hat and uniform. He cooperated throughout the process to the point that even Qin Jiyan was surprised.
Qin Jiyan frowned and added: "Go and follow Mr. Tu to get the official seal back." Whether he can be reinstated after taking the official seal is still open to question.
Qin Jiyan was waiting for Mr. Tu to resist, but he didn't expect Mr. Tu to be stunned for a moment and then lowered his shoulders.
Qin Jiyan was not polite. No matter what Lord Tu's plan was, he would take the opportunity to take over the power of the border town. As for who would be in charge of the border town in the future, he didn't care.
Qin Jiyan mobilized half of the guards to follow Lord Tu, not giving Lord Tu a chance to regret it. Half an hour later, the guards took back Lord Tu's official seal.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Tu is very cooperative, without any struggle or resistance." The guard looked puzzled when he thought of Mr. Tu's reaction.
They didn't see many dismissed officials in the capital, and none of them looked ashen and clung to their official seals.
After all, everyone knows that verbal dismissal is nothing, and it is basically hopeless to reinstate someone after taking the official seal.
The superior will not care whether you have been wronged or not. Once they take your official seal, you will not be reinstated even if you are wronged, because no superior will admit that they have made a mistake. In order to maintain their dignity and respect,
Even if you make a mistake, you have to make it.
Master Tu's official seal was taken away from his hand. If he wanted to become an official, he would have to do so only if the King of Qin fell, or if the King of Qin ignored the past grudges, but both possibilities were extremely low.
Qin Jiyan accepted the official seal, sent the guards away, and called Gu Qiancheng to ask, "Have you noticed anything wrong?"
"Yes, Master Tu has a problem." Especially recently, Master Tu has become very obvious.
"Even you can see it, so he really went too far." Qin Jiyan played with the official seal in his hand and said half seriously and half jokingly, but Gu Qiancheng rolled his eyes.
What do you mean, even she can see how stupid and stupid she is? She also has a brain, okay?
Qin Jiyan laughed indifferently, "He made it so obvious, isn't he afraid of death?"
"It's not that I'm not afraid, but that I'm confident." If he wasn't so audacious, how could he dare to come up with the trick of using a fake corpse to deceive the King of Qin.
"Are you confident? Do you want the Emperor to support him?" Qin Jiyan tapped the table, with a sarcastic smile on his lips, "With the Emperor's support alone, he doesn't have the courage."
The emperor's favorite could even pamper him, the emperor's eldest grandson.
"King Zhao, King Zhou, or Northern Qi. If Mr. Tu is just a member of the emperor, he wouldn't have the guts to fool you." At least not openly.
"Yes." Qin Jiyan nodded, "Recently, people from Northern Qi have frequently been in and out of the border town. I guess there must be someone to help them." The person who helped him was most likely Lord Tu. Even if he wasn't Lord Tu, Lord Tu must have known about it.
Mr. Tu is a parent official in the border town. He has been operating in the border town for decades, and has long since run the officialdom of the border town like an iron barrel, and no one can penetrate it.
After seven or eight days of investigation, they learned that in the border town Master Tu was the local emperor, and no one dared to disobey what he said. All local officials who had any discord with him were forced to leave.
When people from the Northern Qi Dynasty come to the border town, they must be related to him.
"Is it him? We just throw out a bait, and the fish will naturally take the bait and help you get things done." Gu Qiancheng picked up the official seal on the table and started playing with it.
Qin Jiyan smiled and immediately understood what Gu Qiancheng meant: "It is indeed faster to fight internally than to investigate. I would like to see if the officialdom in the border town is really like a monolith and cannot be shaken."
"Wherever there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, let alone officialdom. As long as you throw away the position of governor of a border town, there will be many people bumping into you, and you may get unexpected gains." People die for money, and birds die for officials.
It’s not surprising that people go crazy for official status.
"Let's wait and see how many monsters and monsters there are in this city." Qin Jiyan took the official seal from Gu Qiancheng's hand and hit it on the table with a "bang", but...
Before Qin Jiyan could let the news out, Lord Tu took action first...
