my magic sword system

Qi Changchun took out a handkerchief from his left sleeve, covered it on the horse's hoof print, pressed it lightly, and the outline of the horse's hoof was clearly printed on the handkerchief, and he handed it back to Yan Xuqing.

"My lord, there is a surviving sergeant who saw the group of rioters." At this time, Xing Shirong walked over quickly.

"Oh, bring it here." Qi Changchun raised his head.

Xing Shirong waved his hand behind him, and a soldier ran over.

"What's his name?" Qi Changchun asked after looking him up and down.

"The villain's name is Wang Xiaoer." The soldier replied.

"Are you on duty in front of the execution platform today?" Qi Changchun asked.

"Yes, my lord." Wang Xiaoer nodded.

"What did you see?" Qi Changchun asked.

"A group of rioters came from the north gate with knives and guns," Wang Xiaoer said.

"How many people are there?" Qi Changchun asked again.

"About three to four hundred people." Wang Xiaoer replied.

"Is it all on foot?" Qi Changchun nodded.

"Yes." Wang Xiaoer nodded in response.

"Why don't you resist?" Qi Changchun looked at him.

"Responding to the words of the imperial envoy, we resisted, but we were outnumbered and dispersed in a short while." Wang Xiaoer replied.

"Are you the only one who survived?" Qi Changchun asked after scanning the four circles.

Wang Xiaoer nodded, his expression was a little dazed, as if he had been hit very hard.

"How do you know that you are the only one who survived?" Qi Changchun's eyes were blazing.

"Ah, the officer told me just now." Wang Xiaoer was taken aback, and quickly explained.

"Bring this person back to the mansion, I still need to know some things from him." Qi Changchun nodded and said to Xing Shirong.

Xing Shirong bowed to answer "yes", Xing Shirong's eyes flickered for a while, as if he was very disturbed.

"Oh, I'm old, and I feel back pain after just standing for a while." Qi Changchun thumped his waist, let out a long breath, and sighed.

"Your Excellency is diligent in state affairs, and you must also pay attention to your body. Your Excellency is still young..." Xing Shirong deliberately flattered.

"Thank you, sir, for your concern. Let's go back. Oh, yes, Qing'er." Qi Changchun said with a smile.

Yan Xuqing came forward.

Qi Changchun told Yan Xuqing: "Yuan Fang and the others will be back tomorrow, you take someone to pick them up."

"Oh, don't worry, my lord, I'll go right away." Yan Xuqing was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered.

When Yan Xuqing turned around, a strange look flashed in her eyes.

……

Go back to Mushou Mansion.

Qi Changchun, Xing Shirong and Wu Yangzi sat in the back hall of Mushou Mansion, and the servants offered tea.

"Master Xing, there is something I want to ask you." Qi Changchun said in a pleasant manner.

"My lord, what's the matter?" Xing Shirong asked suspiciously.

"Which county in Mingzhou is under the jurisdiction of Da'anmenxia Village?" Qi Changchun asked.

"Sanhe County." Although Xing Shirong didn't understand why Qi Changchun asked such a question, he still replied.

"Lord Xing, on behalf of Tian Mushou, you and I should fulfill our duties and take good care of the people, so as to live up to the emperor's trust. However, under your rule, the people's livelihood is extremely difficult and poor. Let's take Da'anmen Village as an example. The villagers don't have half a foot of land, and they have food every night, so how can they not gather people to rebel and gather in the mountains?" Qi Changchun nodded.

"My lord, this is a shameful statement. The villagers in the lower village of Da'anmen have always been tricky and stubborn. When Xiqiang broke the city, they took refuge in the village, helped the tyrants, led the way for the enemy soldiers, and killed our people in Dashen. When the officers and soldiers recovered In Mingzhou, the emperor gave amnesty to the world, and it is a great grace not to pursue these people! However, these unscrupulous people are full of resentment and are always ready to rebel..." Xing Shirong explained hastily.

With a 'pop', before Xing Shirong could finish speaking, Qi Changchun suddenly became angry and put the teacup heavily on the table.

Xing Shirong was startled, and quickly shut up.

"Master Xing, is the matter really as you said?" Qi Changchun's face was very ugly.

"I don't know what your lord's words mean?" Xing Shirong said sincerely and fearfully.

"It is obvious that you have not managed well, condoned corrupt officials, embezzled the consolation funds issued by the heavenly kingdom, and seized the people's fields, making the people's lives miserable. When the people went to the city to file a lawsuit, you actually tore up the paper of pleadings, and sentenced you to death without going through a court trial. Only then did you stir up a civil uprising. But you don’t want to repent and shift the responsibility to the common people. You really want to commit a crime. There is no reason to worry about it!” Qi Changchun sternly shouted: “Now that I see this pavilion, you are so clever and eloquent! Let me ask you, where do you put Qi, the imperial envoy? Where do you put the Kingdom of Heaven? Where do you put the Son of Heaven?"

Xing Shirong fell to his knees with a 'plop', trembling and kowtowing repeatedly.

"My lord, all the consolation funds issued by the Heavenly Dynasty and the Kingdom of Heaven are distributed to the counties, and the county affairs orders are responsible for distributing them. The humble officials dare not leave a single cent. If there is falsehood, both humans and gods will be punished. When it comes to seizing Mintian, privately condemning the death penalty is even more nonsense. If your lord finds out that one of the above things is true, I would like to apologise with death!"

"In that case, I have wronged you." Qi Changchun sneered.

"I don't dare to be humble. I'm afraid the adults misunderstood the slander and believed it to be true..." Xing Shirong continued.

"All this is my own experience, I have seen it with my own eyes, and you are still blasphemy here, saying what you misunderstood and slandered, it is really chilling!" With a 'bang~', Qi Changchun jumped up.

"No one dares to take the crime that your lord refers to. Since your lord mentioned the villagers under Da'anmen, I will send someone to invite the villagers to confront them in court. If this is really the case, I am willing to accept the crime!" Xing Shirong raised his head and protested loudly road.

"Your Majesty Xing is really smart. What are you talking about the villagers of Da'anmen now? Do you think this pavilion really doesn't know? I was caught by you and hung on the execution platform at the north gate. Last night, Mr. Xing presented a farce about villagers rushing into the city for this pavilion. Now, those old and weak women and children who fell on the execution platform at the north gate do not know It can be said that there is no proof of death!

"Qi Changchun sneered again.

After some words, Xing Shirong's face turned red and white.

"My lord imposes a crime and accuses me of a lowly position. There is never a shred of evidence!" He poked his neck and said loudly.

"The word 'fairness' will never be used on a corrupt official like you!" Qi Changchun sneered.

"My lord, Yuan Fang and the villagers of Da'anmen Xia Village are now outside the Mushou Mansion." At this moment, footsteps sounded outside the hall, and Yan Xuqing rushed in, reporting to Qi Changchun.

Hearing Yan Xuqing's words, Xing Shirong was startled, and his face turned ashen. He never thought that Qi Changchun's movements would be so fast, so fast that he had no time to make any preparations.

Qi Changchun carefully observed his expression, his lips trembled a little.

"I'm going to be promoted to question the case now." Qi Changchun looked at Xing Shirong and said, "Let's see if you, Mr. Mu Shou, are as clean and honest as you advertise!"
