Chapter 63
Qin Ming still failed to find justice in the end.

Not only that, he was caught by the officials and thrown into prison without even seeing the magistrate Ding.

Ding Zhixian deliberately treated him as a scapegoat for "bandit accomplices" and tried to exonerate himself. Why would he dare to see him? He was afraid that he would get mad and give him a blow. Wouldn't that be an unjust death?

With Qin Ming's martial arts skills, even if all the government officials from the county came together, they wouldn't be enough for him to fight alone.

But this is the power of the system. It can make heroes restrain their hands and make heroes bend their knees. Even if the big insect comes down from the mountain and enters the system, it will have to turn into a cat hugging the keeper's leg and acting cute.

County Magistrate Ding knew that he did not dare to resist, so he dared to let the government officials take him.

If Li Gui were standing here, Ding Zhixian would be afraid of Li Gui misunderstanding, let alone sending someone to get it.

Qin Ming was arrested and thrown into prison in such a humiliating manner. No matter how much he complained about his injustice, no one paid any attention to him.

But even so, Qin Ming never had any objections. He only hoped that when he came to the capital in the future, he would speak clearly and clear his name. Even if he was dismissed from office because of defeat, he would admit it.

After successfully arresting Qin Ming, Magistrate Ding finally felt a lot more relieved, but after thinking about it, he still felt a little unsafe.

After all, I didn’t get the birthday card back!

Whether the official hat can continue to be worn on the head depends on the attitude of the superior.

"Chang Ping, what do you think I should do now to satisfy the superiors?"

"Or, whose door should I go to and put in a nice word for me?"

Master Song frowned and thought hard for a while, then hesitantly shook his head and said:
"Dong Weng, the situation has deteriorated to a certain extent. Everything is not good for Dong Weng."

"But unfortunately we don't have any achievements to show for it. Even if someone is willing to accept Dong Weng's gift and wants to speak for Dong Weng, it's hard to speak!"

"Tsk!" Ding Zhixian suddenly became confused and wandered around the room with his hands behind his back.

Master Song was about to get dizzy because of him. Magistrate Ding suddenly stopped and said thoughtfully:
"If we have some achievements on hand, wouldn't it be easier to talk about?"

Master Song was a little confused and nodded:
"Yes, the mouth is made of two skins. When the upper lip touches the lower lip, you can say whatever you want."

"At that time, as long as one of the ministers is willing to say, 'Although Magistrate Ding has repeatedly failed in his duties, he has also made some minor achievements,' it will be enough to decide Dong Weng's fate."

A smile suddenly bloomed on Ding Zhixian's lips, and he asked with a smile:
"Chang Ping, in your opinion, will the superior officials carefully check the merits reported by us?"

Master Song understood immediately.

"What Dong Weng means is that we take credit for it?"

"But the problem is, we all lost!"

Magistrate Ding smiled and shook his head, "We can't tamper with military achievements. There are too many people watching."

"I only need a small amount of effort, such as...capturing the nine tribes who rebelled against thieves!"

"Hiss..." Master Song immediately took a breath and advised in a trembling voice: "Dong Weng, please think twice!"

"Although I don't know why Li Gui didn't attack the county town, it's not like he can't defeat it!"

"If Dong Weng captures his family members, I'm afraid our heads will be in danger!"

"Hey..." Ding Zhixian looked at Master Song angrily, "What are you thinking about?"

"Of course I won't be stupid enough to arrest Li Gui's parents and relatives!"

"But the rebels want to kill the nine tribes. We just need to find Li Gui's distant relatives who are not on good terms with him, capture a few of them, and then make a deal with them."

"Ah!" Master Song slapped his forehead and suddenly realized, "Dong Weng's plan is brilliant!"

"There are many people with the surname Li in Yishui County, and most of them are related to each other. If we really count, I'm afraid we won't be able to get involved with Li Gui." "We won't touch those close relatives within three generations, only those who are related to each other." An estranged distant relative, just to deal with errands and make some achievements, without worrying about angering Li Gui and causing him to cause trouble."

"We can also pick some wealthy households to do it and make another fortune by the way."

"It's really a brilliant plan that kills two birds with one stone!"

Feeling comfortable being photographed by Master Song, and having found a good way to keep his official title, Magistrate Ding immediately beamed with joy and burst into laughter.

The two discussed in detail again, and then Master Song went to find someone to handle the matter.

Although the original Dutou Li Yun is not dead, he might as well be dead. The current Dutou was promoted separately from Dingzhi County and is called Huang Wangqing.

In order to avoid getting involved with Li Yun, Master Song specially chose someone who was not very impressive.

Although Huang Dutou is a bit mediocre, and his work is a bit unsatisfactory, a bit rough, and not careful enough, he can still be used, and the most important thing is to use it with confidence.

It is not difficult to investigate the genealogical context. As long as you talk to some elderly people, it will become clear.

It didn't take long for Master Song to get Li Gui's list of the three tribes. The nine tribes might be a little more troublesome, but fortunately there was no need to investigate at all.

As long as they are not "dangerous people" on the list of the three clans, it doesn't matter whether the others are really the nine Li Gui clans.

Say he is, he is, and he is not!

If you can afford the "investigation fee" and allow the government officials to conduct an additional detailed "investigation" of the rich households, they will naturally be found out to be not from Li Gui's Nine Clan.

But if they can't afford it, then they will naturally be arrested as relatives of the nine Li Gui clans.

Suddenly, the county was in a frenzy again, and everyone went to look up their family trees to see if there was any connection between their family and the rebel leader.

Although Huang Dutou had only been in office for a few days, he had a lot of bad habits, and he took the opportunity to stuff a lot of private goods in.

Anyone who had a bad relationship with him was arrested by Li Gui's "nine tribes".

A few days later, Li Gui's "nine tribes" were gathered together, and Master Song took the list to Magistrate Ding for review.

Ding Zhixian took a casual look and saw that there were some unfamiliar names on it, so he put the list down casually, looked at Master Song intently, and cautiously confirmed: "Are you sure there is no problem?"

Master Song smiled and held his hands.

"Don't worry, county magistrate. I asked Huang Dutou to check their family relationships one by one. They are not among Li Gui's three clans."

"And I also asked. Li Gui was a street gangster before. He was a gambler by nature and lost all his family property. Even some of his close relatives were offended by him and severed their ties with him."

"As for his so-called friends, they are all acquaintances. Those who really have friendship are probably already enjoying their happiness on Yushan Mountain."

"This matter involves my life and Dong Weng's life, how dare I not be careful?"

Magistrate Ding was relieved. He put the list on the table with a smile, picked up the pen and started writing the official document. After printing it, he handed it back to Master Song.

"Reinforcements from Qingzhou are about to arrive, so Qin Ming can no longer stay in the county."

"Chang Ping will make arrangements to send these thieves and the bandit Qin Ming to the state capital as soon as possible."

"I have written to the state to make arrangements. The prison car will not stop in Yizhou City and will be deported to Beijing immediately. Everything will be done as quickly as possible."

Master Song took the order and left. Magistrate Ding was relieved, stretched out, and went to find his concubine happily.

The breeze came in through the window and blew gently on the study table, revealing the words "Li Liye, Li Da..." on the list.
