Chapter 940 This Person’s Secret Letter to Rong Leng

Sima Xi looked at it carefully for a while, nodded, and seriously agreed: "It's true, if you go deeper, you will definitely die."

The yamen commander is in a hurry!

"Don't worry about this, sir, what should we do now? Master Xiao said that you have to come forward in person, otherwise others will be dishonest."

Sima Xi smiled: "I am justified in my name? What if the other party accuses me of abusing power for personal gain, currying favor with the powerful, not being strict with my subordinates, or setting up a torture chamber?"

The yamen commander also thought of this, but at this moment he had no other choice but to say: "My lord, what are you afraid of? Even if he really chokes you, who is behind you? The Fu family will definitely protect you, that is, Now we have to suffer the consequences of two mouths. When the death row prisoners are brought back, everything that needs to be covered has been covered. Tomorrow, if we refuse to admit it, who can do anything to us? Sir, let’s leave quickly. We’re going to be late. What if? Things are really going bad..."

Sima Xi promised to go, but he didn't speed up his actions at all. He actually still held the cup of tea and drank it.

The commander-in-chief also noticed that Mr. Fu Yin didn't want to take the blame, but he couldn't control this matter. It's one thing to think about it or not. If something happens, you can't escape responsibility. Otherwise, what will the Fu family do to support you? Do you want to eat free rice?

In short, no matter how much Sima Xi delayed, in the end, he was still forced to get on the carriage to the paddock.

This carriage is not Sima Xi's carriage, it belongs to Master Xiao. It's a good guy. It's big and bright. It looks very noble from the inside out. There are also cushions of sandalwood in the carriage. Once you enter, you feel comfortable all over. .

Sima Xi liked it a little and nestled in the carriage, wishing that the carriage would go slower.

But no matter how long the road was, it couldn't withstand the rapid pace of the Yamen Commander. In less than half an hour, they arrived at the paddock.

After Sima Xi got out of the car, he looked at the dense crowd in the distance and sighed.

Master Xiao saw Sima Xi appearing from a distance, and ran over quickly. He explained the matter again in a few sentences, and finally added: "What the second young master means is to ask you to take away the condemned prisoner first, no matter what reason you use." Take away as many as you want, whether dead or alive. However, you must arrange for someone to deal with the dead ones when they return to the Yamen. At least you cannot let them just 'die' outside. It is best to keep them safe and sound. In prison, of course, it doesn’t matter whether it’s them or not, and no one can find out the authenticity. If you say it is, then it’s not.”

Sima Xi understood, looked at Master Xiao and asked, "I heard that we just took action? Are you okay?"

Master Xiao shook his head: "The brothers in front were slightly injured. I'm in the back, I'm fine."

"You still have to be careful." Sima Xi spoke slowly, vaguely just like him: "If something happens to you, I'm afraid I won't be able to do my job anymore."

Master Xiao was stunned, frowned, and said, "My lord, you are joking."

Sima Xi smiled.

Xiao Kang was the favorite disciple of the third master of the Fu family. He had a bright future and was a talented person, but he was accepted into the Qingzhou Yamen as a low-ranking master. Sima Xi knew the reason for this.

However, Xiao Kang is also a ruthless person. He is very calm despite his young age and is not aggressive at all.

Entering the paddock, the first thing Sima Xi saw was an eerie silence, and of course he didn't miss the crackling in the silence.

He walked in and bowed to the three young masters of the Fu family.

The three of them also bowed to Sima Xi in front of outsiders. Among them, Second Young Master Fu said: "Master Sima is here. We finally have someone here who can talk."

Sima Xi smiled apologetically, but looked at the two people in front of the tent.

The person wearing a moon-white robe is none other than Fu Zichen, the fifth young master of the Fu family. I heard that he had just returned to Qingzhou in the past few days and specially congratulated Mr. Fu on his birthday.

The one wearing black robes was very unfamiliar, and he looked a little thin.

Sima Xi didn't pay much attention, lowered his eyes and said: "I heard the report when I came here. It seems that there was some misunderstanding here, but I never thought that many young masters and ladies were also involved. Master Xiao, I haven't said yet, what happened? Already?"

Xiao Kang respectfully stepped forward and replied: "Sir, there is indeed a misunderstanding. Originally, the paddock was booked out today. The person who booked the paddock was none other than the seventh young master of the Fu family. The reason for booking the paddock was to entertain a group of people who came to celebrate the birthday of Mr. Fu's family today. My friends, I just don’t know why, but an outsider suddenly appeared in the venue. Not only was there someone hunting for living people here, but the person he was hunting was the prisoner on death row who was under strict guard in the yamen. Then the incident became alarming, and Xiao Xiao immediately investigated. , but no death row inmate was found missing in the prison. When Xiao Xiao came back to the paddock to investigate in detail, there was a blockage..."

Sima Xi asked cooperatively: "What's the obstacle?"

Xiao Kang glanced at the man in black clothes in front of the tent and said pointedly: "This gentleman, I heard that he is from Beijing. He said that the ten corpses and two living people behind him are all death row prisoners in the Yamen. , when the young man planned to interrogate him nearby, the master refused, and even allowed his servants to commit murder and took action..."

Sima Xi seemed to understand everything. He looked back at the man in black clothes and asked, "What do you call your Excellency?"

Liu Wei's cold eyes glanced at him, but she didn't speak.

Fu Zijiao said: "It is said that he is on duty at Zhenge Gate. His surname is Liu. He seems to be quite famous in Kyoto."

Sima Xi was surprised. Apparently he had never heard that the other party had this identity before. He was always casual, and rarely showed a moment of dignity. He frowned and said, "So it's Liu Sizuo from Zhengemen? His name is Liu Sizuo. The officer has also heard that what happened today, in my opinion, must be a misunderstanding. If not, sir, let the two people at the back be released first, and I will interrogate them and settle the matter clearly on the spot, how about that?"

It was getting late at this time, and the dim sunset was slowly shining down. The wide hunting ground road was illuminated by an orange light, making the world look a little dull.

Liu Wei stood in front of the white tent. The tent was large and the curtains were clean. She was protected by ten men in black, and behind her lay ten corpses and two still alive people.

The first living person, Liu Moyi, was breathing evenly and his injuries were stable, but he was still unconscious.

The second living person, a middle-aged man with a snarky face, was mottled with more than a dozen scars on his body, but none of them were fatal. Although his lips were white and his face was pale, he was still conscious and alive.

The middle-aged man looked at the people outside with strange eyes, including the young imperial official who rescued him from the guards of the Fu family who planned to kill and silence him.

He looked them up and down, saying nothing, very silent.

His silence was not deliberate. If he could, according to his nature, he would have yelled loudly and denounced these beasts who did not regard death row prisoners as human beings.

It's a pity that he can't curse. He was tortured by having his tongue pulled out before, and he has been mute for nearly half a year...

One is unconscious, the other cannot speak, and together with ten miserable corpses, facing the enemy's menacing "purge", the current situation is actually very bad.

Liu Wei's expression was always calm. She didn't look at the clowns of the Fu family, but she turned her eyes slightly and looked at the Qingzhou Prefect.

Liu Wei remembered the name Sima Xi, and had even seen the secret letter written by this person to Rong Leng with her own eyes. She knew his identity very well.
