Seeing Mei Changyuan's silence, Xue Lin's face turned cold and he said aggressively: "County Magistrate Mei, I hope you will kill your relatives out of justice and hand over Qin Xianglian!"
Mei Changyuan's expression suddenly changed, and anger welled up in his heart. Not to mention whether Qin Xianglian was the red gun who would be placed beside him. After all, she was his concubine whom he was marrying, and she had a reputation and status. If she handed him over like this, it would be spread to
In the ears of outsiders, wouldn't it be said that he is afraid of Xue Lin? He can't even protect women, so what kind of man is he? What's the point of his face?
The fact that his previous concubine was abducted by bandits has always been a great shame for him. Now Xue Lin came to demand her forcibly. It could be said that the scars were exposed again, which made him furious. He wanted to cut Xue Lin into pieces and shouted sternly: "Xue Lin, you
Don't deceive people too much, Qin Xianglian is the wife of this county, even if she is from the Red Spear Society, this county will handle it on its own, it is not your turn to ask for someone."
Xue Lin tried not to have an attack and said with a sullen face: "County Magistrate Mei, you don't know what the Red Spears will do. They kidnapped and killed Company Commander Han and Ding Qingyao, the young mistress of the Xu family in Hongfa Temple. They are simply lawless. If you insist on protecting the criminals,
, I can’t explain this matter clearly.”
"Why, do you still dare to suspect that this county has collusion with the Red Gun?" Mei Changyuan became angry, but his heart trembled. He had an inextricable relationship with the Red Gun in private, but he would never admit it.
"County Magistrate Mei insists on shielding the criminals, I have to think about it." Xue Lin faintly threatened.
Mei Changyuan's eyes were spitting fire and he said: "Xue Lin, this county will not hand over anyone today. How dare you rob me by force?"
"Don't dare!"
Xue Linpi smiled but said meaningfully: "The county magistrate can protect Qin Xianglian for a while, how can he protect her for the rest of her life? If you don't leave it to me now, I'm afraid the county magistrate will have to deal with his own woman in the future. Oh.
, I forgot to report to the county magistrate, the city is now being hunted for members of the Red Spear Society, it’s better for county officials not to go out, I have sent extra troops to guard here, the county magistrate can rest easy."
Mei Changyuan was shocked. This meant that he was going to be placed under house arrest. He waved his hand and said, "The county government has its own police guards, so we won't bother with the militia."
"The police are unreliable. There have been spies planted by the Red Gun Club for a long time. According to the interrogation arrestees, Director Chen Jianzhou and Deputy Director He Rong are both members of the Red Gun Club. They have been imprisoned by me for interrogation. I believe there will be a confession soon.
"Xue Lin said slowly.
Mei Changyuan was completely heartbroken now. He knew that Chen Jianzhou and He Rong were definitely not members of the Red Spear Society. Xue Lin was framed on trumped-up charges. However, once he was imprisoned and tortured, Xue Lin could not ask for a confession.
, I was afraid that he would take the opportunity to point the finger at himself, and said anxiously: "I want to see Chen Jianzhou and He Rong with my own eyes, and ask them face to face if they are members of the Red Spear Society."
"County magistrate, please be patient. When I get the results of the interrogation, I will definitely bring both the person and the confession before the magistrate." Xue Lin didn't want to get entangled with Mei Changyuan on this issue, so he cupped his hands and said, "I won't bother you.
The county magistrate has taken a rest and takes his leave."
After saying that, he left without looking back. Mei Changyuan could not stop him and could only watch him go.
"County Magistrate, what should we do now?" He Ruiliang looked at the group of guards outside, feeling very panicked.
Mei Changyuan's face was uncertain, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to go find that bitch and ask for details."
He returned to the back house angrily. When he entered the room, he saw Qin Xianglian drawing her eyebrows in front of the dressing table. He couldn't help raising his halberd finger and shouted: "Bitch, I treat you badly, how dare you lie to me."
Qin Xianglian paused in drawing her eyebrows, then slowly started drawing her eyebrows again, saying calmly: "I have never lied to you."
Hearing this, Mei Changyuan became even more angry. He strode to Qin Xianglian, grabbed her arm and pulled her up brutally, roaring: "You dare to say that you are not? You are a spy who will be lined up by my pillow with red spears. No wonder I did what I did."
They know every move."
Qin Xianglian allowed Mei Changyuan to move, looked at him expressionlessly, and said, "I told you, I didn't lie to you. It was just a coincidence that I came to you. I was not specially ordered to come. It's up to you to believe it or not."
After saying that, he broke free from Mei Changyuan's arm and walked out.
Mei Changyuan frowned and shouted: "Where are you going?"
Qin Xianglian said without looking back: "You and I are husband and wife, and I don't want to make things difficult for you. I'll go find Xue Lin and make it clear."
Mei Changyuan's face was livid. When Qin Xianglian was about to walk out the door, he stamped his feet and said, "Stop!"
Qin Xianglian stopped, and Mei Changyuan gritted his teeth and said, "You really didn't lie to me. Marrying me was not a deliberate conspiracy."
Qin Xianglian turned around and said with tears streaming down her face: "Although I am a member of the Red Spear Club, I am no different from an ordinary woman. It is my blessing to marry the county magistrate. I have never done anything sorry to the county magistrate.
If you don't believe me, I'm willing to die to prove my innocence."
Mei Changyuan looked at Qin Xianglian with pear blossoms and rain, and couldn't help but feel soft in his heart. He sighed: "The Red Spears are so pervasive, why don't they use you to ask for my information?"
Qin Xianglian sobbed: "Someone came to me and asked me to keep an eye on the county magistrate, but I didn't agree."
Mei Changyuan's face softened slightly. Although he knew in his heart that what Qin Xianglian said was not necessarily true, he had no intention of delving into it any further. On the one hand, he was thinking about the relationship between the two of them as husband and wife these days, and on the other hand, he could never admit that in this world
He made a mistake on the question, so he could only ignore the mistake. He looked calmer and said: "Okay, I will believe you just once."
Outside the door, He Ruiliang had been eavesdropping on the conversation between the two. He couldn't help sighing after hearing what was said. The county magistrate was confused on this matter. It was a good move to use the power of the Red Spear Society to deal with Ding Zuopeng, but now, the Red Spear Society has already
Ding Zuopeng has become the target of public criticism, and his purpose is self-evident. At this time, it is time to abandon the affair between men and women and hand over Qin Xianglian. On the one hand, it can block the excuse, and on the other hand, it can also draw a clear line to prevent others from taking advantage of the opportunity.
Make a fuss and buy time to wait for changes outside.
Now that the county magistrate is a clay Buddha, he cannot save himself when crossing the river, but he insists on protecting Qin Xianglian, which is too kind of a woman.
…
Outside the county government office, a large number of regiment members surrounded the county government office. Sandbags were set up at every intersection and guns were set up. No fly could fly away. Xue Lin personally inspected the circle, nodded with satisfaction, and then
After giving careful instructions to the leader of the team, he took Ma Bian and went straight to Ding's house.
When they arrived at the Ding Mansion, Xue Lin told Ding Zuopeng what happened after meeting Mei Changyuan in the county government office. Ding Zuopeng heard that Mei Changyuan defended Qin Xianglian with his life, and he sneered and said: "Now it's obvious that the lice are on the bald man's head."
Damn, the stupid Mei Changyuan wants to use the help of the Red Spear Club to fight me, he is still too young."
Xue Lin's eyes flashed fiercely and he said: "Godfather, let's take this opportunity to get rid of the people named Mei and put the blame on the Red Spear Club."
Ding Zuopeng shook his head slowly: "No, the people above are not fools. Why should I wait until now if I can get rid of Mei Changyuan? As long as his wings are cut off, he will be a dead dog."
Xue Lin understood and said: "The police have captured it. The only guns left in Mei Changyuan's hands are the militiamen from the squadron in the north of the city. I have sent people to disarm them."
