At the end of the Han Dynasty: a stingy husband from his hometown

Chapter 53 Go to Prison
After receiving Yang Qiu's order, the two hundred cavalrymen naturally did not dare to neglect and continued to rush towards the Qiao County government office while roaring.

During Yang Qiu's tour this time, in addition to repairing the county government along the way, he also wanted to frighten the county officials and see if there were any officials who committed illegal activities and needed to be picketed.

These are also the duties of Captain Sili.

However, it was said that more than two hundred riders were riding on horseback, carrying swords and wearing armor, and their momentum was so great that the people along the way gave way and did not dare to look directly.

Horses are in short supply and expensive, even those aristocratic families cannot own so many horses.

What's more, these people are all wearing armor, and they look like the elites of the court, so the common people naturally don't dare to collide.

"Tap Tap!"

Yang Qiu led everyone to ride forward, and the journey was basically smooth. Even if they encountered refugees or caravans, they all gave way.

However, just when Yang Qiu and others were about to arrive at the Qiao County government office, two people appeared in front of the official road, blocking the way.

Yang Qiu saw that they did not give way from a long distance away. When he picked up the bow and arrow hanging on the horse, he first ordered the knights behind to slow down, and then told the soldiers on the left and right: "You wait to speed up and drive forward. If he is a thief who is robbing the way, come and report it quickly!"

Yang Qiu has a fierce personality, is good at fencing, is skilled in bow and horse, likes shooting and hunting, seven or eight thieves can hardly get close to him, and his martial arts are quite extraordinary.

He knew that there was no possibility of thieves blocking the way, but he still held the bow in his hand, and even took out the arrow, with a look of excitement in his eyes.

Yang Qiu is not a good stubble, it's not bad to say that he treats human life like nothing, otherwise he wouldn't have avenged his mother and killed the county official's family when he was young.

Even if there were no thieves in front of him, if it was those blind people deliberately blocking the way, he wouldn't mind shooting them as thieves.

"drive!"

The two riders took the lead, speeding up and rushing forward, shouting loudly: "Lieutenant Sili is on patrol, don't let the idlers block the way!"

The two on the official road are Zhou Qi and Xiang Hong.

They looked at the cavalry team getting closer and closer, feeling somewhat uneasy in their hearts. However, after hearing the shouts of the two cavalrymen galloping over, Zhou Qi quickly calmed down.

Live or die, it depends on today!

He was so angry that he shouted to Yang Qiu who was still behind him: "The sinner Zhou Qi killed Pei Guoxiang in anger and fled here. I heard that the captain of Sili had arrived, and I heard the reputation of Yang Shijun, so I didn't dare to continue to flee. I come here to surrender!"

Zhou Qi's voice was very loud, even with the rumble of horseshoes, Yang Qiu still vaguely heard the content.

"Hey, it's actually this little guy."

"Interesting, really fun!"

Yang Qiu put away his bow and arrows, raised his right hand to signal the two hundred cavalry to stop advancing, and showed a slight smile on his face.

It had to be said that although Zhou Qi only said one sentence, his soft and silent flattery made Yang Qiu feel very applicable.

See what Zhou Qi said.

First, he said that he killed Pei Guoxiang and fled here. It can be seen that Zhou Qi is not afraid of power, let alone Wang Ji, Pei Guoxiang.

Later, he changed the topic and said, "I heard that the commander of the Sili School was here. I heard about Yang Shijun's reputation, so I didn't dare to continue absconding, so I surrendered myself."

Look, how clever this flattery is, how smooth and smooth it is.

A chivalrous man who is not afraid of power, but because he heard Yang Qiu's prestige, he dared not continue to escape, so he deliberately ran over and turned himself in.

If this matter gets out, it will definitely become a good story, which can help Yang Qiu to become famous.

It has to be said that Zhou Qi's ups and downs in the officialdom in those years in his previous life did make him a lot smoother, which is why he was able to shoot such a powerful flattery.

The cavalry team gradually stopped, and Yang Qiu let them rest where they were. However, he took the captain's officers and assistants and rode up to meet them with his own bravery.

"Shut up!"

Yang Qiu came to Zhou Qi's side, but he didn't get off his horse. Instead, he looked down at the two of them and asked with great interest, "Are you Zhou Qi?"

Zhou Qi hastily kowtowed to the ground, and said: "Sinner Zhou Qi, pay homage to Lord Yang."

Xiang Hong didn't dare to show off, and he prostrated himself to the ground after Zhou Qi.

Yang Qiu looked at Zhou Qi carefully, and saw that although he was young, he was handsome, even if he prostrated himself on the ground to plead guilty, he was still neither humble nor overbearing, without the slightest trace of fear on his face, he immediately became a little interested.

He got off his horse, walked up to Zhou Qi, and suddenly shouted sharply: "Assaulting and killing two thousand high-ranking officials is a capital crime, as you know!"

Zhou Qi bowed his head and said: "The people know the crime."

A sneer suddenly appeared on Yang Qiu's face, and he shouted at the fake assistant beside him: "Since that's the case, you should take these two people and behead them directly to show the public, so as to demonstrate the canonical punishment."

Zhou Qi and Xiang Hong felt their scalps go numb when they heard the words.

Zhou Qi was even more panicked and cursed secretly: "Why don't you follow the script?"

However, Zhou Qi was also a very wealthy person. Even though he was frightened inside, his face did not change at all. Instead, he raised his head and looked directly at Yang Qiu.

When he saw the false assistant who was wearing a scholar's uniform next to Yang Qiu, he immediately felt determined, knowing that Yang Qiu was trying to scare him.

If the other party really wanted to kill himself and Xiang Hong, he would not order the false assistant to do it, but should directly ask the two soldiers who came to explore the way to do it.

What's more, no matter how bloodthirsty Yang Qiu is, he can't kill a key criminal like Zhou Qi so easily.

At the very least, it should be clear about the canonical punishment, and then behead Zhou Qi in full view.

After thinking about this, Zhou Qi secretly gave Xiang Hong a gesture, telling him not to act rashly.

In fact, before choosing to surrender, Zhou Qi repeatedly told Xiang Hong not to act recklessly no matter what happened, let alone to collide with Sili Principal Wei Yangqiu.

Zhou Qi knew that Lieutenant Sili had great power and had 1000 or [-] elite men under his command. Even if Yang Qiu did not bring all of these soldiers with him, Xiang Hong would not be able to challenge them.

He could only hope that Yang Qiu would not kill him, otherwise even if the two of them tried their best to resist, they would definitely be trying to overestimate their capabilities.

Although he had told Xiang Hong in advance, Zhou Qi also knew his character. If his life was in danger, Xiang Hong would not care what kind of bullshit Sili Xiaowei the other party was, and would definitely kill him violently.

If this is the case, there will be no room for change.

It was precisely with this in mind that Zhou Qi secretly made gestures to appease Xiang Hong, fearing that he would act excessively after hearing what Yang Qiu said.

That fake Sano Yangqiu's confidant had followed him for many years, and quickly understood Yangqiu's intentions, but he didn't kill them either.

Instead, he bowed to Yang Qiu and said, "These two have committed serious crimes. If we kill them so easily, I'm afraid it won't be enough to deter thieves with evil intentions."

"If Shijun really wants to clarify the canonical punishment, it is better to escort these two people to Xiang County first, and examine their crimes in front of the bones of Prime Minister Pei Guo, and then behead them at no later time."

Seeing that Yang Qiu didn't scare the two of them, he couldn't help narrowing his eyes slightly.

After listening to the words of his confidant and false assistant, he stroked his beard, nodded and said: "What you said is reasonable, let's put these two people in custody first."

In this way, Zhou Qi and Xiang Hong, who had turned themselves in before, were tied up before they had time to accuse Wang Ji in front of Yang Qiu.

Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun, who were hiding not far away, had a clear view of what happened.

Xiahou Dun looked at Cao Cao and said with some worry: "I never thought that this Sili Colonel would be so unkind. I'm afraid Ziyi and Bode may be in danger."

When Cao Cao heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "Let's just watch."

However, after the Yangqiu people tied Zhou Qi and Xiang Hong, they continued to rush towards the county seat of Qiao County, and entered the city not long after.

The magistrate of Qiao County had already received the news, had already arranged meals, and had brought the county officials to greet him at the city gate early.

Yang Qiu also came from a wealthy family and was a martial arts practitioner, so naturally he would not deliberately pretend to be frugal, and he didn't say much about the slightly extravagant hospitality of the magistrate of Qiao County.

It's just because there are still many serious things to do, so Yang Qiu didn't drink too much water, but just tasted it.

During the banquet, the county magistrate asked: "The two criminals brought by the envoy, could it be that they were the thieves who attacked and killed the Prime Minister of Pei?"

Yang Qiu nodded and said: "Exactly."

The county magistrate immediately began to praise: "Yang Shijun is indeed His Majesty's right-hand man. Not long after the wanted documents of the two arrived in Qiao County, the official had no clue at all. But he did not expect that Yang Shijunfu would be able to bring these two to Qiao County when he arrived. The efficiency of handling the case can be regarded as a model!”

"The imperial court has Yang Shijun sitting in the town, and he will be able to wipe out evil spirits and make the thieves tremble. No one dares to commit crimes again!"

The county magistrate spared no effort in flattering Yang Qiu.

No wonder he was like this, as Yang Qiu was the captain of Sili, even the San Gong and Jiu Qing could supervise him, not to mention him as a mere county magistrate.

In addition, Yang Qiu is a cruel official and shows no mercy to all kinds of corrupt officials. He even committed serious crimes twice for this reason and refused to correct himself.

If he really wanted to be targeted by such an evil star, losing his official position would be a trivial matter, and his life would most likely be lost.

The confidant Ji Zuo next to Yang Qiu also advocated: "The emperor's reputation will spread far and wide, and the thieves dare to kill Prime Minister Pei. However, when he heard that the emperor was patrolling here, he was immediately frightened and did not dare to run away anymore. He tied his hands and came to plead guilty."

Hearing this, the magistrate of Qiao County was naturally flattered again.

Yang Qiu lightly stroked his beard and listened to everyone's flattery. Although there was no change on his face, he was quite happy in his heart.

But it was said that after Zhou Qi and Xiang Hong were brought to Qiao County, several knights escorted them to the prison under Yang Qiu's instructions.

When Zhou Qi was locked in the dirty prison, he suddenly felt his stomach churning and vomited it out.

It's not that Zhou Qi is coquettish and can't bear the taste of being in prison.

Instead, after he was tied up, he was directly thrown on the horse's back roughly. On the way to the city, the bumps of the galloping horse had already made him feel very uncomfortable.

If Zhou Qi hadn't tried his best to restrain himself, he would have been vomited out by the bumps.

After finally reaching the county seat, he tried his best to suppress the urge to vomit, and was smoked by the strong smell in the cell. He suddenly felt his stomach churning continuously, so he couldn't hold back the urge to vomit.

Although Xiang Hong felt very uncomfortable, he still stepped forward and patted Zhou Qi's back gently, and asked with concern: "Zi Yi, are you okay?"
