Blackmail

What he said was nice, and he was not the first to bear the brunt of something happening, but no one listened to him, and they even used it as a blackmail.

But I didn't expect that at this time, things would happen to Magistrate Hu's family one after another.

Magistrate Hu put most of his thoughts on his family. He had not participated in the excavation of the ancient tombs for a long time. He did not even know where he had dug and how much he had dug out.

In the meantime, Magistrate Hu was worried that digging tombs would damage his morality and cause trouble to his family, so he proposed to close the ancient tombs. Governor Zhao was unwilling, so he quietly bribed the steward.

The treasure in question was moved to the house of Magistrate Hu’s family, and Magistrate Hu’s family members probably died because of this.

Now the truth is finally revealed.

Magistrate Hu clenched his fists and his eyes seemed to spurt blood.

Jiang Jixun asked first: "How do you know which things are problematic and which are not?"

The steward looked up and replied tremblingly, "One of the people responsible for digging the ancient tombs is Mr. Zhao. He knows which tombs dug out are problematic and which... are not problematic."

The sound is getting smaller and smaller.

"You beast!"

Magistrate Hu couldn't bear it anymore and went crazy, punching and kicking the stewards. He always thought that his family's death was caused by digging ancient tombs and damaging his morality, but he never expected that he was plotted by these bastards.

What made him even more angry was that the steward, who had been following him for more than ten years, actually colluded with Governor Zhao.

"What benefits did they give you to make you betray me? You have been with me for so many years, how could I be bad to you? You have watched Da Lang and Yuanyuan grow up, and you can't bear it."

Magistrate Hu had a son and a daughter who died one after another, and his daughter was the apple of his eye. Thinking about it now only makes his heart burn.

Magistrate Hu threw the steward aside and casually pulled out the long knife from the guard's waist.

The steward was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly, "Sir, please forgive me. Master, I am also helpless. Governor Zhao caught my son and threatened me. There is nothing I can do."

No matter what the steward said, Magistrate Hu couldn't listen and wanted to kill this person.

When he was about to kill someone with his knife, Jiang Jixun stopped him.

"Hu County Magistrate, don't worry. This person is still useful. Even if you beat him to death, your relatives will not be able to survive. The most important thing right now is to investigate this matter clearly and give your relatives a

Explain."

Jiang Jixun said that it was against his will. This incident originated from Magistrate Hu's selfish motives. If he had not been selfish, the matter would not have developed to this point, let alone kill so many innocent people.

The older the tomb is, the more complex and troublesome the secret passages inside it are, which are often difficult to crack without human effort. In order to get the jewels inside Mu Xue, Magistrate Hu and others actually let living people open the way.

The number of people killed in this process was not tens of thousands, but thousands.

So Magistrate Hu is not innocent at all.

But at this time, Magistrate Hu was an important witness, so Jiang Jixun could only try his best to appease him first.

Magistrate Hu was persuaded by Jiang Jixun, but his eyes were still as wide as a bull's eye, his facial features were shifted, and his brows were brows raised, like a seducer from hell.

The steward's face turned pale with fright, and the ground beneath him was soaked with sweat.

Jiang Jixun asked someone to pull the steward up and asked, "Did you set the fire in the young master's room?"

"..." Hu Xiangling's eyes widened.

The steward's legs became weak again, and he knelt down quickly and shook his head, "No, no, I was already arrested by the adults at that time. I really didn't set the fire, but I know who set it."

Jiang Jixun asked eagerly: "Who is it?"

"It was Governor Zhao who ordered him to be released."

Governor Zhao should be sitting in the governor's mansion of Youzhou at this time. How could he know the situation here so well?

The steward continued: "Prince Governor Zhao said before that he wanted to marry the young master. The young master is my only son. If the young master dies, I will be heartbroken. Governor Zhao told me to wait until my grandma is bedridden.

He has drugs in his diet, so that he can remain unnoticed, and if something comes to light, he can be blamed for all the crimes."

"They are quite calculating."

Magistrate Hu stood there with his hands tightly clenched into fists, and the veins on the back of his hands were clearly visible.

Jiang Jixun felt that Governor Zhao's plan was more than just this.

"Does Governor Zhao have any other plans?"

Under Jiang Jixun's sharp eyes, the steward said slowly: "Chief Zhao made it look like Lord Jiang was forcing me to death, and Governor Zhao was adding fuel to the flames. Even if Lord Jiang could explain it clearly, the people's will

But I hope that for the sake of my future, my lord, I will not dare to tell you the true situation in Youzhou."

I didn't even dare to tell the Jiang family.

In this case, everything in Youzhou can be put on Magistrate Hu, and everyone can stay out of it.

After a few years, they can take out the treasures in the ancient tombs and sell them, and they will be able to enjoy wealth and wealth, and even say that officials will protect each other and make the entire Youzhou their world.

Even the imperial court could do nothing for them.

Jiang Jixun's face was slightly gloomy, his thin lips slightly opened, and he sneered, "What a good plan, but I am afraid that I will disappoint Mr. Zhao. The people from the imperial court are already on their way, and they will arrive in the next two days if nothing happens."

The steward lowered his head and flinched.

When County Magistrate Hu saw this, he immediately understood what this guy had left unsaid, "Is there anything else you haven't said?"

"No, no, I just said everything I needed to say."

Magistrate Hu didn't talk nonsense. He just punched the steward a few times until he screamed.

"I said, I said, Governor Zhao already knew that someone from the imperial court was coming. He had previously promised that after the master dies, the entire ancient tombs will be sealed, and everyone in Jiangling County who knows about this will be buried alive in it.

At this time, Governor Zhao's people should already be in Jiangling County."

The expressions of Jiang Jixun and Magistrate Hu suddenly changed.

The governor of a state not only has the right to manage government affairs, but also has the right to coordinate the deployment of troops.

Jiang Jixun quickly walked up to the steward and asked: "How many people are responsible for digging the ancient tombs? Who is responsible for filling the ancient tombs?"

The manager shook his head: "I don't know, I just overheard this."

The steward is just a nobody, how could Governor Zhao tell him such an important thing?

"Eavesdropping?"

How could Governor Zhao allow such a cautious person to be eavesdropped by the supervisor?

County Magistrate Hu noticed Jiang Jixun's doubts and said with disdain: "His ear is amazing. He once served as a scout on the battlefield, responsible for inquiring about information. Later, he was injured on the battlefield and retired."
