After she became a county magistrate, she took the ghost to investigate the case

Chapter 149 Putting the blame on others?

Xu Yingying finally couldn't bear it anymore. She hurriedly said to Cheng Peng, "County Magistrate Cheng, tell them to stop. I have evidence against you. If you let us go, I promise to give you the evidence. No one will be able to catch you anymore."

Cheng Peng looked at Xu Yingying; her suggestion was interesting.

Cheng Peng thought about it for a moment and suddenly laughed.

He said: "Okay, Hanbao, come back."

Hanba, who had attacked ruthlessly just now, stopped immediately and returned behind Cheng Peng.

Such obedience even surprised Xu Yingying.

But the most important thing now is not this, but how to escape from here.

Xu Yingying calmed herself down and said, "You should know that what you have done is enough to kill all your clan members."

Cheng Peng just smiled when he heard that.

"Where is the evidence?" Cheng Peng asked.

Of course Xu Yingying didn’t have it, but the situation was urgent and she couldn’t say she didn’t have it.

But what should I say to make Cheng Peng believe me?

Just as he was thinking about it, Cheng Peng on the other end spoke again: "No, right?"

Xu Yingying's heart was shocked.

"I am always thoughtful in doing things, so guess why I have to personally lead people to the Chen family to seal that secret passage?" Cheng Peng looked at Xu Yingying with a smile.

Xu Yingying suddenly looked up at Cheng Peng.

Cheng Peng was still smiling, but his eyes were as cold as ice.

He continued: "But I can also not kill you, as long as you can do one thing for me."

"Sir, you can't agree to it!" Yi Tai said anxiously.

But no one paid any attention to him.

Xu Yingying looked at Cheng Peng and asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's simple. Just put the blame on His Majesty the Ninth Prince."

Cheng Peng’s words surprised Xu Yingying.

Cheng Peng continued: "As long as you agree, I will cooperate with you, and I will keep you safe after the task is accomplished. But before that, you have to take it, otherwise how can I feel at ease?" Cheng Peng took out a pill and handed it to Xu Yingying.

Xu Yingying looked at the pill and suddenly laughed, "After this is done, I'm afraid you'll have to cross the river and destroy the bridge, right?"

She pinned all the blame for what happened here on Li Siqi, and then killed her after the incident.

Then the whole incident has nothing to do with Cheng Peng.

The matter was settled, the drought demon was refined, and those who died unjustly died in vain.

Kill three birds with one stone, what a good plan.

After Xu Yingying finished speaking, she suddenly said to Yitai: "Do it!"

The one who got the order killed everyone.

Cheng Peng's face darkened when he saw this, "You don't know how to appreciate my kindness."

If that's the case, there's no need to keep them any longer.

"Hanba, go ahead and kill them."

Hanba rushed out again.

This time, Xu Yingying was already prepared.

She bit it on the tip of her tongue and sprayed it towards Hanba.

This blood was her essence and blood. When Hanba touched it, it was as if it was on fire and he immediately let out a shrill scream.

"Yitai, let's go!" Xu Yingying pulled Yitai and left.

Yitai held a sword, gritted his teeth, and fought his way out.

But Cheng Peng arranged too many people, and no matter how skilled Yitai was, he was inevitably injured.

There was also an arrow in his back.

Even though he was seriously injured, Yitai did not dare to relax at all. He fought hard with Xu Yingying until they escaped from the county government office.

The two did not dare to stop at all and rushed towards the capital.

"Eunuch Su, Eunuch Su, help me!" Xu Yingying started shouting from a distance.

After hearing this, Su Shengyuan immediately stopped and looked back.

Su Shengyuan was shocked to see Xu Yingying in such a state of disarray.

He quickly stopped the team and asked, "Master Xu, what's going on?"

Xu Yingying waved her hand to tell him not to ask, and pointed at the man on his back and said, "He was injured when he saved me. Eunuch Su, please get someone to save him."

Su Shengyuan glanced at Yitai and naturally recognized him. Looking at the arrow on his back, his brows were twisted into a knot.

"Come quickly, take him down for treatment."

Several guards stepped forward and took Yi Tai away.

Su Shengyuan looked at Xu Yingying, feeling distressed: "Master Xu, you see, we just left and something like this happened, which shows how dangerous it is here. Why don't you follow me back to the capital first, and then we can make a long-term plan later?"

This time Xu Yingying didn't hesitate at all and nodded in agreement on the spot.

The county magistrate took the lead in this incident.

She was on someone else's territory, isolated and helpless, and staying here would mean waiting for death.

It would be better to return to the capital first and make a comeback when the time is right.

"But Eunuch Su, it's best to keep it a secret that I'm following you back. And you have to hurry up to avoid being caught up by that group of people."

When she was escaping, she deliberately left a wrong message for Cheng Peng, asking him to chase her in another direction.

Although she was not sure how long it would take Cheng Peng to react, she thought it would be best to delay it for a while. Su Shengyuan nodded and made arrangements.

As for who the people pursuing her were, Xu Yingying didn't say and he didn't ask.

His mission was only to ensure the safety of Xu Yingying and Li Siqi.

The team sped up and soon arrived at the capital, without encountering any pursuing troops along the way.

Xu Yingying was surprised at first, but she soon figured it out. It was not that Cheng Peng was stupid and did not see through her trick, but that Cheng Peng did not dare to attack the Emperor's team.

Su Shengyuan was sent by the emperor himself, and the person he picked up was the ninth prince.

If something happens, there is no need to verify the facts of Hanba, it will be enough to kill all nine generations of his clan.

Instead of wasting time on this, it is better to think about how to deal with the aftermath, so that Xu Yingying and others can return to Beijing safely.

Before they entered the capital, they received a secret order from the emperor, asking Su Shengyuan to secretly take Li Siqi and Xu Yingying to the Imperial Hospital.

This way, it would be convenient for them to provide treatment without anyone noticing.

At this time, Li Siming was still celebrating with his confidants.

"Li Siqi is dead this time."

Li Siming was happy and poured glass after glass of wine.

The relative said, "That's right. I heard from the people down there that he was not only poisoned, but the cold poison in his body also flared up."

They all knew how powerful the cold poison was.

On top of that he was poisoned, how could he not die?

Everybody laughed with joy.

Li Siming said happily: "When my good brother dies, I will go to pay my respects in person. Not for anything else, but just to let him see who has the last laugh."

Li Siming was so happy that he drank more.

When I woke up the next day, I felt a splitting headache.

I wanted to invite the imperial physician to the palace, but later I thought it was too slow, so I just went to the Imperial Hospital myself.

Li Siming strode into the courtyard and shouted, "Someone, come out and see this prince."

Upon hearing the sound, the imperial doctors came out and welcomed the patient in.

But Li Siming had not taken a few steps when he suddenly saw a figure flash quickly in the corridor not far away.

Li Siming paused.

Li Siming recognized that person, wasn't it Xu Yingying?

But isn’t this person in Feng County with his good brother?

Is it...

Thinking of a possibility, Li Siming's face suddenly turned ugly.

Li Siming did not choose to go forward and ask the truth of the matter directly. Instead, he asked his personal eunuch to go and find out the situation.

Because he was certain in his heart that Li Siqi would not come back, because the emperor had not ordered him to come back, and returning to the capital without permission was a capital crime.

Isn't Li Siqi handing him a ready-made handle?

Li Siqi is not that stupid.

Soon, the eunuch sent by Li Siming to gather information came back to report.
