Farming and reading family

joke!

Gao E hung them up like this, how could she not make things difficult for them?

"I need to know first whether it's a good thing or not." Gao E looked at them. "You just need to be responsible for speaking, and I will be responsible for the consequences."

Those people were silent.

"Get started." Gao E ordered.

Lu Qingluo walked over with a dagger in his hand.

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you." Someone immediately admitted his mistake, "It's Mr. Zhao from He County."

"Zhao Jiancheng?" Gao E looked at the man.

"Yes." The man nodded. "He will provide us with food and lodging, and give us one or two taels of silver every day. He will let us sit in Wanyilou and make it run out of business."

Gao E knew this was the case: "Zhao Jiancheng is just a gentry in He County, why can't you afford to offend him?"

The man shut up immediately.

Gao E underestimated Zhao Jiancheng a little: "Who said that?" She glanced around again.

The last person couldn't stand it any longer and said cautiously, "He has connections with the horse bandits in Qinzhou City. Those horse bandits killed us with a single blow."

Gao E didn't expect Zhao Jiancheng to have such a relationship: "I don't even need to do it myself to kill you."

Those people secretly glanced at Lu Qingluo who was playing with the dagger, and felt that she wanted to kill them all.

"Answer whatever I ask, and do whatever I tell you to do honestly. Then I will send you out of the county." Gao E looked at them.

"Otherwise..." Gao E glanced at the beams, "I wouldn't mind putting a rope around your necks."

Those people were already in great pain being hung like this, and after hearing Gao E say this, they dared not move.

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you." Someone couldn't hold it any longer.

"What is the connection between Zhao Jiancheng and the horse bandits in Qinzhou City?" Gao E asked directly.

"I don't know, but when he invited us, he brought up the name of the bandit leader in order to intimidate us." Someone said hurriedly.

"Do you have any evidence that he hired you?" Gao E wanted to pin Zhao Jiancheng to death.

"How can there be evidence for something like this? We just agreed on it verbally." Someone answered quickly.

"Besides this matter, what else did he ask you to do?" Gao E wanted to know what Zhao Jiancheng would do next.

"No, he asked the madam to tell us what to do in the morning."

"Did the madam tell you?" Gao E was surprised. "Those buildings belong to Zhao Jiancheng?"

Those people shook their heads. They didn't know whether it was from Zhao Jiancheng. Anyway, the order was given to them through the madam.

Gao E couldn't ask anything else, it seemed that Zhao Jiancheng was very cautious in his work.

"Okay, tomorrow the manager of Wanyi Building will take you to the yamen, and you will say that it was Zhao Jiancheng who instructed you to deliberately cause trouble in Wanyi Building." Gao E ordered.

Those people widened their eyes and did not dare to agree for a moment.

"I promise to send you out of the city directly after we go to the government office." Gao E looked at those people.

Those people agreed without hesitation.

They are paid to do their job and have no credibility. Now that their lives are at stake, of course, saving their own lives is the most important thing.

Gao E asked Lianxin to hang these people a little lower so that they could stand, and send them to Jin Ruyi as soon as dawn broke.

Afterwards, Gao E went to find Xu Boyan.

Xu Boyan shot arrows for a while in the morning and came back to change his clothes. He heard from the servants that Madam Chen wanted to see him.

He wiped his face with a cloth and went out.

"Mrs. Chen is out so early, she must have not slept all night." Xu Boyan knew that something happened in Wanyi Building, and Gao E could not just sit back and watch.

"The Wanyi Building incident was done by someone hired by Zhao Jiancheng," Gao E said directly.

"Do you have evidence?"

"The person who caused the trouble admitted it." Gao E spread her hands.

Xu Boyan paused as he reached for the kettle: "You're not going to hit anyone again."

"What do you mean again?" Gao E felt a little guilty.

Xu Boyan smiled and said, "Even so, Zhao Jiancheng cannot be convicted of any crime."

"I don't intend to sentence Zhao Jiancheng to any crime. I just want you to release the person who came to confess his mistake in court."

Xu Boyan suddenly realized: "Is this your agreement?"

"It is."

"Okay." Xu Boyan agreed straightforwardly. "When will my arrowhead be delivered?"

"It will be delivered immediately after it is made." Gao E promised.

Xu Boyan didn't ask who made it: "The magic iron is rare, and the person who can make the magic iron is even rarer." He reminded Gao E not to be too ostentatious.

"By the way, those who caused trouble said that Zhao Jiancheng had connections with the horse bandits in Qinzhou City." Gao E suddenly thought of this.

"And the horse bandits you killed?" Xu Boyan guessed.

"I don't know any of them." Gao E didn't know if it was those horse bandits. "Is there only one group of horse bandits in Qinzhou City?"

"That's not the case." Xu Boyan didn't know how many horse bandits there were in Qinzhou City.

"Then I'll go first." Gao E still had to prepare to send those people out of the city.

"Eat first before leaving." Xu Boyan said subconsciously.

Gao E looked at Xu Boyan in surprise.

Xu Boyan didn't know why he suddenly said this: "What I mean is... you accompany Qing'er to have a meal."

"I have something else to do." Gao E said and left.

Xu Boyan stood there and reflected for a while, it seemed that he had not thought about what he said just now.

Jin Ruyi did not show up, but asked Steward Wei to take those people to the yamen, with servants from the Chen family following on both sides.

The large group of people attracted a lot of onlookers, so Jin Ruyi sent someone to explain the reason for the incident to the crowd, and soon the news of what Zhao Jiancheng had done spread.

"Why do you have to do this?" Gao E said to Manager Wei as he led his men into the yamen and Jin Ruyi beside him.

"Ordinary people just like this." Jin Ruyi wanted to disgust Zhao Jiancheng even more. "Besides, this is the truth."

Those people admitted in court that it was Zhao Jiancheng who asked them to cause trouble at Wanyi Building and promised to give them one or two taels of silver every day.

While Xu Boyan sent people to find Zhao Jiancheng, he asked those people to sign their testimony, saying that they knew their mistakes and could correct them, and then released them directly.

So when Zhao Jiancheng arrived at the county government office, he confronted those who had made the confessions, but those people had already left He County.

Xu Boyan didn't make things too difficult for Zhao Jiancheng. He just scolded him so that he couldn't raise his head, and then ordered him to mend his ways in the future and then let him go.

When Zhao Jiancheng came out of the yamen to look for those people, he couldn't catch up with them even if he rode at full speed.

Gao E and Jin Ruyi were having dinner at Yueyuan. After this incident, Zhao Jianxin's reputation began to sour. How could he have any integrity when he used such shameful means?

"Why don't you leave Qingluo in He County?" Jin Ruyi suggested.

With such a master by my side, I feel confident in doing anything.

"You ask her." Gao E didn't make the decision.

Jin Ruyi knew it was pointless to ask: "You said that Zhao Jiancheng was related to the horse bandits in Qinzhou City. You must be cautious when you return. Be careful that he holds a grudge and uses extreme measures."

It's okay for her in the city, as the bandits don't dare to enter the city.

"Don't worry." Gao E wasn't too worried. "Your father is very knowledgeable. When he's better, you can talk to her about the strange rocks from Ghost Crying Mountain and see how to sell them."
