Chapter 266: Changes in Liang County

Outside the gate of Liang County Government Office, Chen Bo was waiting anxiously.

He had heard the news that the evil slave in his own house had gone out to catch someone but failed and was killed instead, and now was being led back like a dog.

What he was most worried about now was not who caught the evil slave in the mansion, but whether the evil slave in the mansion had betrayed him.

If he gave him up, and Li Cunxi, who still lived in Liang County, happened to know about it, it would be a small matter for him to become a county magistrate, but his life would be in danger.

The silhouettes of his servants became clearer and clearer, as did the carriage that followed. The appearances of the men on the two horses became clearer and clearer, and the horrifying expression on Wu Yanhao's face on one of the horses became clearer and clearer!

Yes, that’s right. The person who came with the carriage and the four servants from Chen Bo’s mansion was Tongzhilang Wu Yanhao!

Sitting on the other horse was Li Yuanfang, the Inspector General of the Guards!

The man driving the carriage was none other than the General of the Guards of the Imperial Court, who was a fourth-rank officer and had been well entertained by him a few days ago. He was a truly powerful general!

These people appeared one after another, and the identities of those who could sit in the carriage were obviously not uncertain.

"I am Chen Bo, the magistrate of Liang County, and I am here with all the officials to welcome you, Mr. Li, the Shao Yin of Henan Prefecture!"

Seeing the carriage getting closer, Chen Bo felt like crying but had no tears. He led all the officials in the government office to kneel down and cheer.

People passing by stopped and looked at Chen Bo, who was kneeling on the ground in front of the carriage and acting arrogant.

Chen Bo, who had always been fearless, actually knelt on the ground. This was the first time in history.

The people didn't need to kneel to Li Cunxi anyway, so they all stood where they were, ready to see what would happen next.

The carriage soon arrived outside the gate of the county government office. The evil servant of the county magistrate's mansion, who was wearing purple clothes, looked dejected and did not dare to look at Chen Bo's expression.

Li Cunxi lifted the curtain and came down to the back of the carriage. He brought Liu Ergou, who had always been following the back of the carriage, in front of Chen Bo. He looked down at Chen Bo with a cold expression.

"County Magistrate Chen, if you count the days, we haven't seen each other for almost nine days."

Li Cunxi grabbed Chen Bo's official hat with a smile and asked Chen Bo to raise his head and look at Liu Ergou.

"County Magistrate Chen, take a good look. Does this man look familiar to you?"

Even without looking up, Chen Bo knew who Li Cunxi was talking about. He lowered his head and his voice became low.

"Xiao Liuzhuang, Liu Ergou."

"Since you know this, you should also know what questions I will ask you next, Magistrate Chen." Li Cunxi glanced at the common people who were watching the show, "Send all the evil slaves in your house to jail, and let's go in and talk about how to solve this matter."

"Thank you, Li Shaoyin, for leaving me this respect." Chen Bo stood up trembling, not daring to look at Li Cunxi's face, and just waved his hand.

The county yamen runners immediately surrounded them, dragged the remaining four men in purple into the county yamen, and took them to jail.

Li Cunxi and others also followed Chen Bo to the court.

"Whose student or former official are you, and in which year did you become the county magistrate? Chen Bo, you'd better tell the truth to avoid physical pain. Otherwise, with the number of torture instruments you have here, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive even one round."

Li Cunxi sat down in the seat where Chen Bo was supposed to sit as it was natural, and looked coldly at Chen Bo who was kneeling in the hall.

The yamen runners on both sides had already lined up and stood in line, holding water and fire sticks, looking a little at a loss.

The master knelt behind Chen Bo. Seeing that Chen Bo said nothing, he could only kowtow to the ground and said in a crying voice:

"Sir Shao Yin, the magistrate of Chen County is him, he is, he is a student and former official of the Prince of Xiang, and he came here five years ago to serve as the county magistrate."

Li Cunxi sighed secretly.

It turns out that the conspiracy was traced back to his own brother.

Prince Li Dan, Li Longji's father, his cousin, and the emperor before Wu Zetian ascended the throne.

I can only say that this person is really ordinary, except that he has a good son.

"Liu Ergou, tell the truth about what you have done!" Wu Yanhao scolded.

Chen Bo fell to the ground with lifeless eyes. He knew he could not escape, and he did not dare to make up a story. So he recounted in detail what had happened to Liu Ergou.

Chen Bo's confession was almost identical to what Liu Ergou said, except that what Liu Wenbin was interested in was not Liu Ergou's house and land, but Liu Ergou's wife.

After so much time has passed, Liu Ergou's wife has most likely been raped by Liu Wenbin countless times.

Li Cunxi winked at Hu Jinghui, who immediately went out with a knife slung over his waist. The constables waiting outside were temporarily recruited and followed Hu Jinghui to Xiaoliu Village on horseback.

In the court, after Chen Bo finished his confession, the emotionally broken Liu Ergou could no longer bear it, and pounced on and beat Chen Bo hard.

"My old man!"

"My mother!"

"And my wife!"

"For the sake of your momentary enjoyment, you, the dog official, and that dog rich man, killed my parents and kidnapped my wife, you dog official!! Dog official!!!"

Liu Ergou bit Chen Bo on the back of his neck and started tearing it hard.

Chen Bo let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered and tried to break free from Liu Ergou, but he was not as strong as the other party and could only struggle hard.

A few yamen runners were used to this and were ready to pull the two men apart. Just as they took a step forward, they saw Li Yuanfang holding a chain knife with an intimidating expression on his face.

Li Cunxi leaned back and said, "Brother Yuanfang, you should chop off the master first to give them a heads up. The reason is that the official who robbed the women of the people and forced the villagers to death. Kill him to set an example."

Li Yuanfang nodded heavily, flipped his right hand, and the chain knife drew a graceful arc in the air, carrying a good head with it.

Blood gushed out from the neck, staining the ground in front of him red, and also sprayed on Chen Bo and Liu Ergou who were struggling.

Afterwards, a miserable cry echoed throughout the county government office and lasted for a long time. Liu Ergou, with a piece of human flesh in his mouth and hatred in his eyes, was freed by two yamen runners who had received instructions.

There was a large piece of flesh missing from the back of Chen Bo's neck. He screamed and tried to cover the wound with his hand, but the more he touched the wound, the more painful it became. Chen Bo rolled over and screamed, wailing on the ground.

"He was asked to sign and seal his name, and then he was dragged out and beheaded. It was really noisy."

Li Cunxi became annoyed and left the court, calling the county lieutenant.

"I'm Yu Qing, the county lieutenant of Liang County. I wonder what Shao Yin wants me to do." The county lieutenant bowed.

"Do you know about Chen Bo's affairs?" Li Cunxi asked straight to the point.

"Shao Yin Rongbing, although I am the lieutenant of Liang County, all my power has long been taken away by Chen Bo. The last time Shao Yin came to the county government, I didn't see me, did I?"

"I have not seen you, because Chen Bo said you were inspecting the village."

"Shao Yin, this is all Chen Bo's nonsense!"
