My Sisters Excel in Both Literary and Martial Arts - Chapter 1175

[Chapter 1139]

Jing Zhe’s words were like a knife piercing Master Kongjing’s heart.

At this time, he knew that one of Pindao and fellow Taoist must die.

He definitely didn’t want to die, and he would have to kill Prefect Xu.

Just because when Prefect Xu came to give him instructions, he did not forget to suppress him and kill him, Master Kongjing felt no burden.

“President Jing, I’ll write it, I’ll write it all this time!”

Master Kongjing laughed twice, and then said: “However, President Jing, can you give me some tips, because more than half of the incense money collected by Taohua Temple was given to “Prefect Xu, I don’t know how much President Jing said.”

“More than half?”

Jing Zhe thought for a while and said, “For example, in the temple this morning, we found a total of more than two thousand taels of silver. “

, If Prefect Xu also took two thousand taels or four or five thousand taels, he would not be much different from you! So if he is convicted in the end, you two will be almost the same!”

“…”

Master Kong Jing heard that this was no good. Judging from Jing Zhe’s attitude towards Prefect Xu, it was clear that he wanted to kill him. If he was similar to him, wouldn’t he have to die too?

So he immediately said: “President Jing is joking. When I said more than half, I just meant it in general. In fact, the incense money that Prefect Xu took was much more than half!”

“Oh, how much more? As a court official, Prefect Xu , and the official position is not low, if you dare to collect the incense money from the temple, once it is verified, you must arrange the death penalty. As for you old monks, unless the incense money collected by Xu Taishou starts at 10,000 taels, you are too short, so I can help you. Help the old monk and give him a lighter sentence.”

When Master Kongjing heard this, Jing Zhe made it clear that he was asking him to increase the amount of incense money that Prefect Xu was greedy for!

However, Master Kongjing has no psychological burden on this, because Prefect Xu has indeed taken a large portion of the incense money over the years, and it is more than 10,000 taels!

Fortunately, Jing Zhe was here to interrogate him. If he had asked Taishou Xu first, he believed that Taishou Xu would definitely speak highly of him!

So the two of them should be the eldest brother, not the second brother. After all, they are just trying to survive. This is not a shame!

Master Kongjing had already made up his mind. He was not in a hurry to write it down first, but decided to feel out Jing Zhe’s background.

So he probed: “President Jing, this Prefect Xu stole ten thousand taels of incense money from Taohua Temple. Do you think… is this a lot or less?”

“A lot.”

Jing Zhe nodded, “If Prefect Xu is the only one One person has only been greedy for 10,000 taels, but the three of you, old monk, have been greedy for more than 2,000 taels. The greed of Prefect Xu alone is more than ten times that of you alone. So if Prefect Xu is beheaded, how about you being imprisoned for the rest of your life? “

…”

Master Kongjing is about to cry. The reason why he is so cooperative is not just to get a “life sentence”!

However, he was also glad that he was smart. Fortunately, he tried Jing Zhe’s skills. Jing Zhe said that he must be dissatisfied with this amount! So he immediately changed his words and said: “President Jing, I am getting old, and my memory is a bit out of date. I just remembered that these 10,000 taels were just the greed of Prefect Xu in the later period, and there are still more in the early stage!”

“Oh, How many more are there?”

Jing Zhe glanced at Master Kongjing and thought, “You know the truth.”

“Five thousand taels?”

Master Kongjing continued to test. In fact, this amount was infinitely close to the incense money that Prefect Xu actually embezzled. It would not be much more if it was more, and it would certainly not be much less if it was less.

“Fifteen thousand taels!”

After Jing Zhe said this, he was still a little excited. After all, this amount was the same as the amount in the guarantee letter he asked Mrs. Feng to write before, which showed that he still had foresight.

However, he was not satisfied with this.

“I didn’t expect that Prefect Xu was so greedy. With these five thousand taels, Prefect Xu deserves to die, and the old monks can stay in this cell forever!”

“???”

Master Kongjing was stunned again. Wait, what’s going on?

When it was 10,000 taels, it was a “life sentence.” Why is it now 15,000 taels, and it’s still a “life sentence”? So what’s the point of him adding five thousand taels?

When he asked this question, Jing Zhe said: “Just now, I was going to take you to Jingzhou Prison for life. After all, as monks, you extorted so much incense money. The impact was really bad. But later I also heard that the incense money collected by Prefect Xu is much more than that of you. In comparison, your crimes seem not so serious, so I decided not to send you to Jingzhou Prison and to imprison you directly here. , After all, this is your hometown, so you don’t have to go to Jingzhou to miss home!”

“…”

Master Kongjing almost cursed. He was already in prison, so why did he want to go home?

However, Master Kongjing also knew that Jing Zhe was still not satisfied with the price of fifteen thousand taels, so he immediately said: “Oh, President Jing, look at my brain, I am too old! I missed one more “

There is a pen of silver!”

“Old monk, you’d better remember it clearly. If you forget one more thing, do you believe I will really lock you up here for the rest of your life?”

Jing Zhe glanced at him and said dissatisfied, but he felt empty in his heart. Master Jing is very satisfied with his performance.

“President Jing, I remember everything this time!”

Master Kongjing gritted his teeth and thought, “Prefect Xu received a total of 20,000 taels in incense money -“

“Twenty thousand taels?” “

Jing Zhe was already satisfied with this amount, so he didn’t let Master Kongjing shout any more and interrupted him directly: “I didn’t expect that Governor Xu was so greedy that he actually took 20,000 taels from you. The money for incense? The three of you only shared two thousand taels, which is nothing compared to his two thousand taels!”

“President Jing, don’t you need to lock us up now?”

Master Kongjing asked as he wiped the sweat from his head.

“How is that possible?”

“???”

Master Kongjing is about to go berserk. What’s the point of cooperating with me?

He had already made up his mind that if Jing Zhe still imprisoned him, he would not write any more and would die on his own. Jing Zhe was really unreliable.

Then he heard Jing Zhe say: “Although the incense money you extort from the people is small, each of you only has a few hundred taels, right? So I still have to lock you up for a few days, otherwise the people won’t agree, right?”

“Yes, yes, Jing. The president is so thoughtful!”

Master Kongjing cried with joy.

“As expected of President Jing, he thinks much more thoughtfully than ordinary people like me!”

Then, Master Kongjing was all flattery, and he didn’t just take pictures randomly, but praised him from the bottom of his heart. Before, he only I thought that I could just confess to Governor Xu, but he had committed a crime after all. If so, wouldn’t the common people know about the deal between the two?

As for Jing Zhe, he thought that the matter would be so comprehensive that he would be imprisoned for a period of time and then released, so that the people would not be able to say anything. This idea was too lofty!
