The eldest lady just wants to be a crazy beauty

Chapter 35 Absurd reasons

"You hosted a banquet for officials from Puzhou yesterday, and you must have mentioned it during the banquet, asking them to catch the arson suspect as soon as possible. I also told you that it is difficult to buy pine oil in Puzhou. Following this clue, it is very easy to The four arson suspects will be caught soon.

After interrogation, they will definitely confess that they were ordered and coerced by me to burn down your Pei family's shop.They're going to catch me sooner or later anyway, so why should I leave?Why don't I just stay in Pei's mansion and wait for them to catch me.

Oh, by the way, in order to facilitate the government's handling of the case, I specially asked them to go to Guangli Tong to redeem the tickets this morning, which is convenient for them to catch them all at once.How about it, Mr. Pei, am I very considerate? "

Qin Ruizhi spoke eloquently, her voice flowing like a clear spring, as if she was narrating a very common thing.

It's so normal that it's like telling others what she ate and wore in the morning, instead of setting fire to the entire Pei family's shopping street, with losses as high as 5 taels.

Pei Xingheng looked at Qin Ruizhi, with porcelain skin, red and phoenix eyes, willow-leaf eyebrows, and an unparalleled beauty.

He couldn't understand how such a callous and heartless words could come out of such a stunning face.

But no matter how angry, no matter how wronged, no matter how disgusted, he could only lie on the ground, letting the pain hit his body, but he could do nothing.

He wanted to call someone, but Qin Ruizhi squatted in front of him, fearing that she would be unhappy, so she slashed him with a knife.

Pei Xingheng looked unwillingly at Pei Guangshan, who had passed out at the foot of the wall.

This useless slave was really useless and fainted faster than him.

Qin Ruizhi followed Pei Xingheng's eyes and said with deep concern: "Don't worry, I acted in a measured manner. He just fainted, nothing serious."

Who cares about this.

Pei Xingheng wanted to cry but had no tears.

"So, wait! Your drink last night will not be in vain. If the government catches someone, they will definitely come to the government to inform you."

Then, Qin Ruizhi held the knife and sat on the steps at the door, motionless, like a sculpture.

At first, the servants of Pei Mansion were afraid of her like a tiger and did not dare to get close.

Later, some brave people were eager to try it. After several trials and seeing no response from her, they became bolder and swarmed into the house. They helped Pei Xingheng up and asked the doctor to bandage it again.

Then, under Pei Xingheng's instruction, he went to the government to report the case.

The government had just arrested four arson thieves. Because of Pei Xingheng's entrustment, Governor Yan personally intervened in the case.

The main messenger behind the arson thief who had just been interrogated was Qin Ruizhi, who was about to go to Gaofu to pick up someone. Someone from Pei's house informed Qin Ruizhi that he was in Pei's house at this time, so Governor Yan personally took people to Pei's house.

"Oh, you came late enough?"

Qin Ruizhi raised her head and glanced at the sky. The sun was hanging in the northwest corner. It was already midnight, but she had just found this place.

Then he threw the knife and readily admitted what he had done, "Yes, I was the one who instigated those four people to set fire to Pei's shop. The reason why those four people were coerced by me to burn down Pei's shop was, It’s because they were all the guards of Yan Mansion, and they were ordered by Mrs. Yan Sun Xiuyang to set up a trap to ambush me in Whirlpool Ridge.”

Qin Ruizhi was imprisoned. Looking at Gao Jinying's face, he specially selected a spacious and clean cell for her.

"Ruizhi, your uncle and I are colleagues and old friends. We have watched you grow up. How could you set fire to a shop? Do you know that setting fire to an official residence or private residence is punishable by three years in prison?" If you lose more than five horses, you will be exiled for two thousand miles; if you lose more than ten horses, you will be punished by hanging. The Pei family burned an entire commercial street and suffered countless losses. According to the law, they are sentenced to death by hanging. This is a matter of life and death. "If it's burning, it's burning. It doesn't matter if you run to the ends of the earth and can't be caught. She won't run away, but insists on throwing herself into a trap.

Governor Yan had one head and two heads, and he didn't know how to deal with them for a while.

"Do you dare to sentence me?" Qin Ruizhi looked at Governor Yan with a smile through the iron fence, fearing that he could not hear clearly, and added: "Master Yan, do you dare to sentence me to hanging?"

Governor Yan couldn't bear to provoke such a provocative official, "You are an ignorant boy who doesn't know the importance of things, yet you dare to be so arrogant! If you still don't know how to repent, I will enforce the law impartially."

"If you sentence me to hanging, then how will you sentence Mrs. Yan, Sun Xiuyang, to set up a trap to kill me in the Whirlpool Ridge? Yan Youli's daughter Yan Yingzhu married the grandson of Prime Minister Su. The Yan family and the Su family are now in-laws. Yan Youli is now She is appointed magistrate of Fengan County, Jeju. Do you dare to sentence her wife?
Likewise, my Gao family is not an ordinary person.My father is the captain of the prison school, my eldest uncle is the minister of Dali Temple, my second uncle is the minister of the Ministry of Industry, my third uncle is the Sima of Cangzhou, and my fourth uncle is now transferred to Kyoto and serves as the captain of Gaoyang County.

Mr. Yan, you are not enforcing the law impartially, nor are you bending the law for personal gain? "

As long as Governor Yan dares to convict Qin Ruizhi, then Qin Ruizhi's identification of Mrs. Yan to ambush her in Whirlpool Ridge will also have to be investigated. Lao Dao and the others are the gangsters who were ordered to commit the crime, and they will also be the witnesses to identify Sun Xiuyang.

Sun Xiuyang killed people and had to be killed according to the law.

After hanging the niece of the Gao family, and then beheading Prime Minister Su's in-laws, enforcing the law impartially, and offending the Gao family and the Su family at the same time, the governor Yan was done with his job.

If we only sentence Qin Ruizhi and turn a blind eye to Sun Xiuyang's crimes, we will still offend the Gao family and bend the law for personal gain. Not only will he fail to win the official position, but he will also be imprisoned.

It's almost a dead end.

Governor Yan considered it carefully, and sweat began to form on his forehead.

Qin Ruizhi dug a huge trap, but he just happened to jump in.

"Ruizhi, why are you making such a fuss?" Master Yan was almost begging.

Qin Ruizhi blurted out: "I want to go back to Kyoto."

"You can go back if you want. Hire a carriage and hire a few guys from the Yachang Store. You can go back with the money. If you don't have enough money, you can come to Uncle Yan. How much money can Uncle Yan be stingy about? It’s going to stir up trouble all over the city, and it won’t end well.”

Governor Yan regretted it too much. If he had known that Qin Ruizhi was so capable of getting into trouble, he would have paid a hundred and ten taels of silver to send her back to the capital in person.

"That was the original plan, but Pei Xingheng forged a loan deed and defrauded me of 5000 taels of silver. I couldn't bear to say that, so I thought I had to teach him a lesson. He cheated me of 5000 taels, so I should ask him to repay it ten times. of."

Qin Ruizhi said it righteously, after all, she really thought so.

It's crazy that it's such a ridiculous reason.

Governor Yan wished he had never been here and never asked about this matter. It was the county magistrate's duty to investigate and resolve the case, so what did he have to do with it.

Governor Yan shook his head and left directly as if he hated iron.

"Uncle Yan..." Qin Ruizhi stopped him before he had gone far, "I will tell you a secret, I also burned the Guanglitong store, and I burned it myself. I am kind-hearted and couldn't bear the loss of the Pei family, so I burned it before setting fire to it." I brought all the loan deeds with me."
