The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

At this time, the bandits' lair was in chaos.

The corpses of the bandits were lined up, and their families wailed on top of the corpses.

The bandit leader's arms had been chopped off, and he was lying on the ground helpless. Beside him, a woman hugged her child, kowtowing and begging Xiao Rui.

"Do you know who the people in the yamen colluded with?" Xiao Rui asked.

With tears in her eyes, the woman said: "A good man, a woman of the people knows, knows."

"I can't say it!" The bandit leader vomited blood, his voice hoarse, his face was very pale due to excessive blood loss.

But the woman kowtowed and said: "Hero, the women can say anything, just beg the man to spare me and my son, we are willing to surrender in the yamen, my son is so young, the women don't want him to die before he grows up, we would rather To be a slave to atone for one's sins and accept the court's punishment, the hero must spare his life..."

As soon as these words came out, the bandit leader closed his eyes and two tears fell.

Xiao Rui agreed: "Okay, as long as you tell me the truth, I will not kill the women, children and children present. As for how the court will deal with you, it depends on the court's laws."

"Thank you, man, thank you, man." The woman thanked her with gratitude, and then said: "It was Ma Dong, the distant nephew of the county captain of Qiuyang County, who informed my man. He was in charge of the police in Qiuyang County. My man I got acquainted with him when I was young, and gave him a lot of gold and silver, it was him, it was him...I saw him with my own eyes!"

The bandit leader on the ground suddenly opened his eyes, showing astonishment in his eyes, but they disappeared in an instant. Unfortunately, Xiao Rui was looking at the woman and didn't notice.

"Is what you said true?" Xiao Rui asked.

The woman spoke earnestly: "Hero, how can I not tell the truth? My man is beyond salvation. If I lie again, my child and I will die. Hero, I am telling the truth. If you don't believe me, you will be killed." Go to the police now, I am willing to testify in court, I just hope to survive, woo woo..."

Xiao Rui turned his head and looked at the crying women and children around him, so he discussed with Zhuge Liuying: "Would you like to let Wu Zhanfa report the case, and let the magistrate of Qiuyang County handle the rest."

"Alright!" Zhuge Liuying nodded.

Wu Zhanfa immediately reported to the official.

On the other side, the woman hugged the bandit leader and kept crying, as he bled profusely and eventually lost his life.

Zhuge Liuying went to release those innocent passers-by who were locked in iron cages. When they learned that they were saved, they also wept with joy, thanking Xiao Rui and Zhuge Liuying for their life-saving grace. family.

Not long after, the county magistrate, county magistrate, master Bo, and county lieutenant of Qiuyang County arrived in person, bringing with them arresters and yamen servants.

The county magistrate is already very old. Before he became official, he heard that the bandits who had plagued Qiuyang County for many years had been uprooted. He was instantly full of energy. A big stone in his heart finally fell, and he could go home to retire with peace of mind.

The police and government servants immediately took control of the family members of all the bandits, and the passers-by who were locked up were also treated properly.

The old county magistrate thanked the three of Xiao Rui for their help, and said: "Three, the imperial court has ordered that localities can apply for rewards from the imperial court for those who have made great achievements in encircling bandits and bandits. The bandits are the great benefactors of our county, please let me know their names, and I will definitely ask for credit for you."

Xiao Rui shook his head and said: "Lord County Magistrate, you're welcome, we can do it with little effort, but that woman told them about the person in the yamen who tipped them off, the Magistrate must not let it go!"

"What? Someone in the county government colluded with them inside and outside? No wonder every time the encirclement and suppression failed, it is really unreasonable." The old county magistrate was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.

"Who is it?" the old magistrate roared.

Unexpectedly, the woman who was controlled by the arrester struggled away and cried out: "My lord, we are willing to commit crimes and meritorious deeds. It is the arrester Ma Dong, and it is his tip-off letter."

Behind the old county magistrate, the county lieutenant's heart dropped suddenly. He immediately wiped off his sweat and cupped his fists: "My lord, it's really audacious for Ma Dong to collude with the inside and outside. This subordinate is going to arrest him!"

The old county magistrate nodded and said, "Where did he go? He won't escape."

"My lord, Ma Dong has been ill recently, so he didn't come to the yamen to have an appointment. Don't worry, I will arrest him and bring him to justice now!" The county captain shouted loudly, patted his chest and promised.

The county magistrate waved his hand and asked him to go get the person immediately, then turned his head to look at Xiao Rui, and said with a smile: "Three friends, please move to the county government office. Some confessions need the help of three people to complete. In addition, the rewards from the court are still available." Application required."

"Okay!" Xiao Rui didn't want to reveal his identity, and he was covered in blood, so he should clean it up, so he could only delay for another day.

When they returned to Qiuyang County, there was a lot of people in the county. When they learned that the bandits outside the county had been wiped out, the people in the whole county were singing and dancing. blessing of.

The old county magistrate personally arranged for the three of them to live in the county government office.

After Xiao Rui took a bath, the master of the yamen came to inquire about what happened, so that he could write a statement and report it to Fucheng, and at the same time apply for rewards from the court for the three of them.

However, Xiao Ruiming said that he had something to do and needed to go to the capital. The old county magistrate regretted that he could not keep the three of them for a long time, so he took out two hundred taels of silver from the county government as a reward from the court, and presented it to Xiao Rui in advance.

Xiao Rui didn't refuse, and readily accepted, otherwise the old county magistrate would suspect the intention of the three of them.

On the other hand, the county lieutenant arrested Ma Dong and confessed to what he had done. Those family members of the bandits would also be imprisoned. According to the law, the minimum thing waiting for them is to lose their household registration, have tattoos branded on their bodies, and become a criminal. Slave distribution border.

In the county government prison, the bandit leader's wife was locked in a separate cell.

In the middle of the night, the county captain went into the prison alone to see her.

"Brother..." the woman cried out with tears in her eyes.

The county lieutenant comforted: "Sister, I have wronged you."

"You want to avenge Lao Zhao." The woman said with red eyes, "Fortunately, those three people didn't kill the grass, otherwise my child and I wouldn't be able to survive. How about Ma Dong?"

The county captain said: "Ma Dong is suffering from a serious disease. I have let him take all the charges. No one knows that I am involved. And no one knows that you are my righteous sister. You stay here for a while, and I will find a way to get you Get out. As for Lao Zhao's death...the martial arts of those three people are not simple, and we have to think about it in the long run."

The woman said with red eyes: "Brother, back then you and Lao Zhao killed the county lieutenant who took office, and you pretended to be the county lieutenant to take office, but Lao Zhao fell into the grass and turned into a bandit. You have to avenge him."

The county lieutenant narrowed his eyes and remained silent for a long time.

Unexpectedly, the woman continued: "Brother Yi, my sister has nothing else to ask but you to avenge Lao Zhao, kill those who killed him, and then let my son and I be safe, otherwise the evidence you left behind when you killed him Well, my sister can't guarantee that even if I die, those evidences will not be leaked!"

The county lieutenant caught his breath and stared at the woman in front of him.

After a long time, the county lieutenant smiled and said: "Sister Yi, don't worry, Lao Zhao is my sworn brother, how can I not avenge him? Don't be impatient, I will bring the murderer's head to see you!"

After all, the county captain left.

The woman staggered and sat on the ground, her face full of tears just now was full of ferocity.
