Xie Pinggang was having a headache. Chun Er, who was standing by the side, was also very confused.
Xie Qiao said straightforwardly, “Eldest Brother, walk down from here. When you see that man, grab his arms and tie him up. Bring him to the criminal division. You’ll see what happens within two days.”
Xie Pinggang almost hit Xie Qiao’s head when he heard that, “I brought you here today to look at this man. You want me to bring him to the criminal division?! What crime did he commit?”
“I suspect that he pretended to be a scholar. Eldest Brother, this is a serious crime, right?” Xie Qiao said.
A graduate was a reserve official that could start working when necessary.
Xie Pinggang frowned, “You made this assumption based on your deduction earlier?”
“Those are enough proof. If you look at his hands again…” Xie Qiao said again.
Xie Pinggang almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
She wanted him to look at his hands again?!
What’s so good about a man’s hands?!
However, thinking of that, Xie Pinggang still looked over.
He looked and stared hard, trying to see anything different.
Maybe Xie Qiao had said too much, but now Xie Pinggang really thought… It was a little strange.
“This person’s hands don’t seem to belong to a scholar,” Xie Pinggang muttered to himself, then he took a deep breath, “I’ve seen a scholar’s hands before. As they hold a brush all year round, the shape of their hands would change slightly.”
“That’s why I suspect that there’s something wrong with his identity. It makes sense,” Xie Qiao nodded.
After all, his eldest brother was a member of the criminal division, so he was not a fool.
“But if you slander a scholar, especially before the imperial examination, it would be serious,” Xie Pinggang’s face was grim.
“That’s why I said that this is an opportunity,” Xie Qiao’s tone became a little softer.
Xie Pinggang realized that this girl was very fickle-minded.
When he was analyzing everything earlier, Xie Qiao was like a hedgehog, raising all of her thorns. Her eyes were shining with a sharp gleam, and her aura was a little scary. However, at that moment, she instantly became like a harmless, fluffy little rabbit.
“Let me think about it,” Xie Pinggang was a little hesitant.
“Hurry up! The man below is waiting for you,” Xie Qiao repeated what Xie Pinggang said earlier.
Xie Pinggang clenched his fist and almost swung it over.
He tried hard to think of the times he met that man below. He was trying to recall if there was anything wrong with him.
As he thought about that, his face became more and more solemn.
In the end, he stood up and wanted to go downstairs.
Step by step, he approached the man and walked behind him. His hand was placed on his shoulder. Then, he actually pulled out a soft whip from his chest pocket, grabbed the person’s neck, and dragged him out!
“The First Young Master r-really captured him?” Chun Er was stunned.
“You have to believe me. Good luck is coming, Eldest Brother,” Xie Qiao raised her brows.
How was she bringing lethal fate to her family?
Look, was Xie Pinggang not living a prosperous life now?
That person had his neck tied, so he could only follow Xie Pinggang. He struggled along the way. Due to his fame, people quickly recognized him.
Xie Pinggang took the man to the criminal division. Someone beat the drum for the hearing.
The scholar was called Wen Lancheng.
Zhao Xuanjing soon learned that Xie Pinggang had caught a scholar. When he arrived at the criminal division, there were many people protesting due to dissatisfaction.
At that moment, Xie Pinggang had tied him up. There was a torture instrument in front of him, ready to take him at any time.
“I’ve suspected that you don’t look like a scholar since earlier. Are you going to confess? If you don’t, I’ll tear your belly open,” Xie Pinggang was very fierce.
