I’m the Farmgirl You Can’t Mess With
Chapter 825 - Chapter 825 Robbery

Chapter 825: Robbery Chapter 825: Robbery Editor: Atlas Studios Gentry Wei grabbed the constable and asked hesitantly but expectantly, “You said that I can redeem myself?” “WellaEUR|” Gentry Wei immediately said, “I’ll give you money.” The constable said in a low voice, “Master Wei, even if you don’t speak up, there will be others who do.

In that case, why don’t you be the first to do it?

Either way, it’s probably a little difficult to keep your life.

However, it shouldn’t be a problem to ensure the safety of your family.

As for your family assets, surely Her Highness wouldn’t covet that bit of money?

When the time comes, you can plead with her and she might just agreeaEUR|” Gentry Wei quickly thought of the implications.

Even if he resisted, the Princess Consort and the government office had already determined that they were the ones who did it.

Even if they didn’t have concrete evidence, they could find other charges to punish them, such as him now.

If he should die before Gentry Qian and the others, Liu Qing wouldn’t get the evidence, and so he would definitely fly into a rage out of humiliation and deal with his family.

Plus, with Gentry Qian and the others eyeing his assets covetously, his 11-year-old son definitely wouldn’t be able to protect the family assets.

On the other hand, if he confessed and redeemed himself, he could beg the Princess Consort to let off his wife and children, and keep his assets.

As long as the Princess Consort agreed, Liu Qing would not deal with him again.

After Gentry Qian and the others were dragged down by him, no one would scheme to get his family assets anymore.

The constable saw the change in Gentry Wei’s expression, but the look in his eyes became more and more determined.

The corners of his mouth could not help but curl up as he helped him back to the death row cell.

Gentry Wei asked him to tell Liu Qing that he wanted to see him.

The constable accepted the silver promised by Gentry Wei and promised in a low voice that he would bring the person here tomorrow, before locking him in a cell.

Standing at the door, the constable looked for a moment before turning to leave.

A few constables were sitting on the ground and looking inside from time to time.

When they saw the constable coming over, they hurriedly stood up.

“How is it, Big Brother?

Did he confess?” The constable glared at him and said, “Guard this place well and don’t let anyone in.

Look at you sitting and leaning against the wall.

How improper!” After scolding them, the constable asked, “Where’s Magistrate Liu?” “He’s outside.” The constable quickly walked out and saw that Liu Qing was standing by the wall.

Seeing him come out, he asked, “How did it go?” “He requests to see you, my lord.

In order to prevent him from becoming suspicious, I promised to inform you after dawn.

My lord, isn’t this too rushed?” There was not much time left until dawn.

“Some things don’t stand up to scrutiny, so we can’t give him too much time.

Tell the prisoners in the cell to traumatize him a little so that he doesn’t have too much time to think.” Poor Gentry Wei had also been frightened the entire night after returning.

Almost as soon as he closed his eyes, breakfast was served in the cell.

As a result, he had not slept the entire night.

Coupled with the fear, his mind was as uncomfortable as glue.

Gentry Wei was dragged to court in such a state.

After Liu Qing sent everyone away, Gentry Wei asked in fear, “Sir, if I provide evidence, can I redeem herself with the Princess Consort?” Liu Qing snorted and said, “I’ll put in a good word for you, but I can’t guarantee if Her Highness will let you off.” When Liu Qing said this, Gentry Wei calmed down.

He thought for a moment and said, “Sir, this matter started in January.

At that time, Gentry Qian brought someone to look for us.

That person was called Second Master QinaEUR|” Gentry Wei explained their motives and schemes.

Frowning, Liu Qing asked, “Do you have any evidence and account books?” “Second Master Qin used the identity of a traveling merchant in Jiangnan at that time.

We have the account book for the transaction of the seeds, but nothing else.” Liu Qing’s expression was very ugly as these account books could not be used as evidence to convict them at all.

This could only mean that their seeds had come from a normal source.

Even if they used the testimony of Li Er and the others to prove that Second Master Qin was the one who stole the seeds, it could only mean that the seeds that Second Master Qin had traded with them were stolen.

They could just deny that they knew nothing.

Liu Qing lowered his eyes and looked at Gentry Wei.

He wondered how likely it was for them to win this case now that they had this witness.

In order to prevent the culprits from quibbling, there should be more physical evidence.

“Isn’t there any evidence that you people had ulterior motives?” Gentry Wei’s face turned red.

He thought for a moment and gritted his teeth.

“There’s a list of farmers whose seeds have been swapped, and the few of us had drawn up the scope.

During the autumn harvest, we can only buy land in our respective territories and can’t raise the price to compete with each otheraEUR|” Liu Qing’s eyes lit up.

This was the important physical evidence.

“Where is it?” “My copy is on the beam in my study.” Liu Qing quickly sent his subordinates to retrieve it.

After comparing the list with their statistics, he realized that there was a 90% similarity.

Overjoyed, he took the list to Mu Yangling, wanting to capture Gentry Qian and the others immediately.

However, before Liu Qing met Mu Yangling, he ran into Fan Zijin.

Holding the name list, Fan Zijin said in a low voice, “If we control Gentry Qian and the others, do you think we can lure Second Master Qin out?” Liu Qing felt that it was inappropriate.

After some deliberation, he said, “Second Master Qin might not appear again, and Gentry Qian and the others betrayed the country despite knowing that there’s something wrong with Second Master Qin.

I’m afraid it’s in Lingnan’s interest to keep such traitors around.” Fan Zijin frowned, still wanting to give it a try.

Just as he was about to give the order, the neigh of a horse came from outside the door.

Looking up, he saw Qi Haoran striding in with a whip in his hand.

Fan Zijin relaxed and asked with a smile, “Have you arranged everything at the border?” Qi Haoran nodded and asked with a frown, “Why are you guys standing here?” The three of them went to the reception pavilion together, and Fan Zijin briefly explained what had happened in Ju Prefecture on the way.

Qi Haoran took the evidence and asked, “So you can convict them with this?” “As long as Gentry Wei is willing to testify, coupled with the testimony of Li Er and the others, it should work.” “Then what are you waiting for?

Go and arrest them!” Liu Qing looked at Fan Zijin.

Qi Haoran followed his gaze and looked over.

Fan Zijin said, “I want to use him to lure Second Master Qin out.

Even if Second Master Qin doesn’t show up, it works as a counterattack.” “It’ll take too long and we can’t afford to wait.” Qi Haoran snorted.

“Besides, there’s no need to keep such a traitor around.

We have plenty of ways to deal with Second Master Qin.” Qi Haoran had something urgent to discuss with Fan Zijin and was not in the mood to talk about this matter.

After he stuffed the evidence back into Liu Qing’s arms, he said, “Go and arrest them.

I’ll leave this matter to you.” Then, he impatiently pulled Fan Zijin to the study.

The moment they entered, Qi Haoran whispered, “I got my hands on some good stuff.” Fan Zijin was a little stunned.

“What good stuff?” Qi Haoran took out a large gold nugget from his pocket and handed it to him.

Fan Zijin looked at him disapprovingly.

“It’s just a gold nugget and you’re soaEUR|” Fan Zijin paused and said sharply, “How much of this did you snatch?” How much gold could cause Qi Haoran to show off to him with such a shifty look?

Qi Haoran beamed with joy and gestured with his hands.

“A big gold mine!” Instead of feeling jubilant, Fan Zijin felt that his legs turned weak.

He had to brace himself to ask, “Who owns this gold mine?” “Since I managed to snatch it, it naturally belongs to meaEUR|” Under Fan Zijin’s stare, Qi Haoran had no choice but to say, “It belongs to West Xia.”
