After Xie Linlang finished speaking, she beckoned for someone to tie up County Magistrate Tao.

County Magistrate Tao panicked and struggled hastily, while the master beside him also shouted.

"Mr. Xie, what do you mean by this? You are not an official yet, why are you giving orders and arresting the imperial court!"

"Just because he killed someone, violated the king's law!"

Xiaoxi stood up to protect the calf, walked to the imperial envoy, and returned the token he had borrowed earlier.

"My lord, thank you for your token, so that Xiaoxi can catch these bandits.

After interrogation, they not only confessed the mastermind of this assassination, but also confessed the truth about the previous murders!

It turned out that Mr. Zhao ten years ago, Mr. Li six years ago, and Mr. Sun two years ago, they didn't die of illness or bandits, but were murdered by the bandits sent by the magistrate Tao! The purpose is to not let them come to Xiangcheng to succeed, so that the county magistrate can continue to be. "

"You spurted blood!"

Tao Zhiyong is in a hurry! He certainly won't just admit it.

Besides, he has been in this city for more than ten years, as long as he is allowed to return to the city, as long as he is given time, he will be able to overthrow all the "evidence" in Xie Linlang's hands, as long as he is allowed to go back!

So he said to the imperial envoy while struggling.

"My lord, you must not believe these people's one-sided words! These bandits may be invited by them to frame the lower officials, and the lower officials refuse to accept it!

The subordinate officials demanded to return to the city immediately and interrogate these people in person to see where they got the courage to slander the imperial court! "

Xie Linlang knew what he was thinking as soon as she heard it, so she smiled and took a step forward to speak to the bewildered imperial envoy.

"My lord imperial envoy, I didn't mean to overstep on purpose, and I must tie Magistrate Tao, but I have a reason to do so.

Think about it, Master Tao has been the county magistrate in Xiangcheng for more than ten years. It can be said that the whole Xiangcheng belongs to him.

This is not the most frightening thing, the most frightening thing is that he can even kill his subordinates and the prince at will, and those successors sent by the court are even more merciless in killing. It is conceivable that he will You attack the adults, and then run away with money.

Anyway, the whole Xiangcheng listens to him, we are here, but we don't have as much power as him. "

What she said made the imperial envoy look ugly, and the expression of Tao County Magistrate over there changed drastically!

"You nonsense! Since when did I think about killing the imperial envoy?!" He hasn't had time to think of that step, okay? !

As soon as he said this, he felt a little slip of the tongue, and before he could explain, the imperial envoy sneered.

"Come here, arrest all the people around Mr. Tao, and let them be dealt with!"

"This!" County Magistrate Tao looked at him in disbelief, "Do you want to believe Xie Linlang's one-sided words?! He is completely slandering the lower officials! The lower officials refuse to accept it! You can't tie me up!"

Hearing this, the imperial envoy stroked his beard and said to him with a half-smile.

"Lord Tao, don't worry, it's just a temporary detention. If it turns out that this matter has nothing to do with your lord, I will definitely ask Xie Linlang to kowtow to you and make amends!"

As soon as he said this, County Magistrate Tao's face turned ashen. If those bandits really had the evidence he had left before and were interrogated, would he be safe?

no! He can't just compromise like that!

Seeing that he opened his mouth to say something, Xie Linlang suddenly stepped forward and punched County Magistrate Tao's chubby stomach!

She didn't use her internal strength, but her strength was not weak. The county magistrate Tao felt that he couldn't catch his breath and almost vomited blood!

At the same time, Xie Linlang leaned over and whispered in his ear.

"Don't waste your time. Since you refuse to give up your seat obediently, then I will send you down with my own hands. As for Xiangcheng, which you have been running for more than ten years, it will be mine from now on."

"...You!" County magistrate Tao was taken away after being beaten until he couldn't even utter a single word.

Not only him, but also his master and confidants were unable to resist, and were taken away one by one.

At this moment, the panic in his heart almost overwhelmed him! Could it be that he just had a face-to-face meeting with Xie Linlang, and he was about to be killed by her!

Xie Linlang didn't care what he thought, and walked forward quickly.

Today, she was caught off guard by County Magistrate Tao. If she was in Xiangcheng, she might have to pretend for a long time, but who told County Magistrate Tao to trick the imperial envoy to wait for her at the pier outside the city for his own purpose?

If you don't take the opportunity to clean him up outside his sphere of influence, why don't you keep him overnight?

She walked up to the imperial envoy, cupped her hands and said.

"My lord, I will leave the matter of the interrogation to your lord. I will let Xiaoxi follow me and give you a hand. As for my lord, I will not participate in it."

In just over an hour, the imperial envoy, who was bombarded with various things and was a little confused, patted himself on the head when he heard Xie Linlang say that.

"It's because I'm not careful enough. Mr. Xie and His Highness are exhausted, so it's time to rest earlier."

"No..." Xie Linlang smiled, and the last ray of light from the sky shone on her, making her eyes feel a little warmer, "The fire on the river before now needs someone to deal with it...so my lord and I split up. Two ways, I want to go to the river to see."

Only then did the imperial envoy remember the fire in the river before. To be honest, anyone who saw the fire might focus on the fire. After all, it was an unheard of spectacle.

As for those ships caught in the sea of ​​fire, they may feel sympathy, but they will never have the desire to rush in to save people.

Right now the fire seems to be almost extinguished, it's time to go and have a look, so he said seriously.

"It's Mr. Xie who is thoughtful. I will send fifty people to you. Go and find out the cause of the fire. The fire is strange. If you don't find out, if something like this happens again in the future, many people will die... ...As for the people on the boat, let's bury them..."

"Yes." Xie Linlang didn't explain. She didn't need to use this fire to build her reputation, and she didn't want to tell the truth about the deceased. If the imperial envoy knew that there were water bandits in Xiangcheng, there would be more than a dozen of them. Zeguo's spies are expected to stay here for a long time, so the gains outweigh the losses.

After she sent the imperial envoy away, she turned her head and said to Xiaoxi.

"Then you go into the city and help the imperial envoy to interrogate. Remember, you must interrogate carefully and carefully to ensure that after tonight, this Tao will never stand up again!"

Xiaoxi nodded, but looked at her with bright eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Young master, did you set the fire on the river today? Are the people on the boat the spies of Zeguo? You are so powerful!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Linlang patted him on the shoulder dumbfounded.

"No, Xiaoxi is the best. Right now, my son, I have to deal with the aftermath of the fire, and I won't be back until later. You have to be careful yourself, and beware of County Magistrate Tao jumping over the wall in a hurry and acting like a demon."
