After thinking clearly, Li Jizu couldn't help but look at Han Du with awe.
He lowered his head slightly, clasped his fists and said, "We are still following Pan Fu's traces. We still don't know where he is."
Han Du looked up with a smile and said to Li Jizu: "No matter where Pan Fu is hiding, he will eventually return to Liyang County."
"What does the Marquis mean?" Li Jizu was slightly stunned and asked without knowing why.
Han Du smiled and sighed, "His whole family is locked up in the county jail. As long as this news is known to him, he will definitely come to Liyang. Unless, he doesn't care about the lives of his whole family."
Li Jizu nodded after hearing this. Pan Fu could run away but the monk could not run away from the temple. His family was his biggest weakness. As long as Pan Fu's family is firmly in his hands, it will be useless no matter if he hides around again.
Immediately, Li Jizu thought of something more and couldn't help but ask: "But his family is imprisoned in the county jail. If the Marquis refuses to release them, what's the use of him returning to Liyang?"
The smile on Han Du's face grew stronger, and he opened his mouth and said, "Of course I won't let him go, but you don't think that Pan Fu can't think of any other way to save him, do you?"
Li Jizu was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly became shocked. He stared at Mr. Hou with wide eyes and said in disbelief: "Master Hou means that he wants to rob the prison?"
Han Du nodded slightly and added more fire, "I'm afraid it's not just that, he also wants to get rid of me as well."
Han Du held the teacup, leaned back on the chair, took a sip, and said with a smile: "After all, the reason why he ended up where he is today is all his own fault, but I'm afraid he will think it's all mine." reason."
"He dares!" Li Jizu stared angrily. How high is Han Du's status in Li Jizu's heart? As soon as he heard that Pan Fu dared to harm Han Du, Li Jizu became furious.
But after he calmed down, he couldn't help but think that Pan Fu was now desperate. With his character who is used to being domineering in Liyang County, it is really possible for him to do such a thing.
Thinking of this, Li Jizu cupped his fists and saluted Han Du, and said loudly: "I will protect the Marquis to the death, so go down and prepare now."
Han Du nodded, as if he was not worried about Pan Fu's threat at all, and said with a chuckle: "Go ahead."
After Li Jizu left, not long after, a soldier came to Han Du's door with a name card. When he was promoted to court in Handu, he found that he no longer understood how to command the yamen, so he drove the entire county yamen back home. Now the guards and errands in the Yamen are all soldiers from Shanziying.
"Report~"
Han Du raised his eyes and saw the soldiers at the door, put down the brush in his hand and said, "Come in."
The soldier walked up to Han Du and immediately handed over his name card and said, "There is someone outside the Yamen.
I want to ask to see the Marquis. "
Han Du glanced at the famous post in the soldier's hand, but did not reach out to take it, but said: "Open it."
The soldier completely obeyed Han Du's instructions and opened the name card directly.
Han Du skipped the previous content and glanced directly at the last signature of the name card. The corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch into a sneer. He had made so much noise in the past few days, but he didn't expect to actually catch a big fish.
"Where are the people?" Han Du asked quickly.
The soldier kept his head lowered and replied: "A carriage is parked at the gate of the county government office, and the person delivering the name card is waiting next to the carriage. The person should be inside the carriage."
"Okay." Han Du nodded happily, "Let him come in."
The soldier followed the order and went out, came to the outside of the Yamen, and shouted to the people beside the carriage, "Come in, my lord is willing to see you."
When the old man in the carriage heard that he was asked to go in to see the imperial envoy in person, a surge of anger suddenly appeared on his face.
Jiang Yue on the side also raised his eyebrows in time, "This imperial envoy is so arrogant. He didn't go out to greet his uncle, but asked his uncle to go in by himself. Does he really think that he has been an imperial envoy all his life? When he doesn't have this anymore Title, uncle must take good care of him in the future."
Jiang Yue's words made the old man feel a little more comfortable. That's right. The other party was now acting like an imperial envoy. According to the rules, he should go to see him. In this case, he would stay away and settle any grudges later.
The old man glanced at the county government office coldly, then turned back to Jiang Yue and said, "Please wait here for a while. I'll come back as soon as I go."
"Thank you uncle, everything will be done soon." Jiang Yue couldn't help but feel happy when he saw that the matter was in sight.
The old man didn't say much, nodded, and was helped out of the carriage by the servant.
Walking in front of the soldiers, he raised his head high and said scornfully: "Your master is really proud. Come on, take me to see you."
"Please!" The soldier extended his hand to signal, and then led him into the county government office.
When they arrived at Han Du's door, the soldiers first signaled the old man to stop, and then loudly announced inside.
The old man was being shouted at by a soldier, and his face was livid with anger. When the soldier signaled him to go in, he was so full of anger that he lost his mind in anger.
Before his foot reached the threshold, he shouted loudly: "I want to see who is so bold and dares to show off in front of me. You just got the title of imperial envoy, it really makes you tremble... ....Come......"
When he saw the people sitting in the hall, he couldn't say the last word in his throat. The angry expression on his face disappeared in an instant, and dense cold sweat continued to appear on his forehead, and soon joined together and flowed down his cheeks.
"Dali Temple Young Minister Chen Jian." Han Du looked at him with a smile, shook his head and sighed: "I really didn't expect that you were the one behind it!"
The moment Chen Jian recognized Han Du, he knew he was finished. His face was earth-colored, his whole body was shaking like chaff, his legs were weak and he was sitting paralyzed on the ground.
"Sir, no, Lord Marquis, I am unjustly accused..."
Han Du sat in the top position with a smile, feeling very funny, "What are you wronging? Who has wronged you? I have been waiting here for so many days with my bags packed, but no one has been waiting. In the end... "
Han Du stretched out his finger and pointed at Chen Jian teasingly, "I'll wait for you."
Chen Jian was immediately confused. He never thought that the emperor would send Han Du to Liyang. How could a small Liyang attract the emperor's attention? The great god Han Du was also sent.
With Han Du's methods, no matter how secretive Jiang Yiru and others were, they would definitely not be able to hide it from Han Du's eyes. In fact, maybe now Han Du has found out what Jiang Yiru and others did, and is just waiting for him to rush in and close the net.
No, I can't fall here. I have been living in poverty for decades, and finally passed the imperial examination. Now I am facing dire straits, how can I be willing to do so?
Suddenly, Chen Jian immediately thought that the greeting he sent to Han Du did not mention anything about Jiang Yiru and others. He could bite him to death and refuse to admit it, but Han Du couldn't do anything to him.
Thinking of this, Chen Jian suddenly laughed with high spirits. He also bowed his hands to Han Du and said, "The Marquis has misunderstood. Xiaguan has nothing to do with Jiang Yiru and others. Xiaguan is here just for a visit."
Han Du laughed, pointed at Chen Jian and said with a smile: "Do you believe such nonsense?"
Chen Jian didn't care whether Han Du believed it or not, he believed it anyway. The most important thing for him now is to leave here quickly and find a way to get out of this quagmire.
"I'll take my leave." Chen Jian was so anxious that he didn't even have time to think about the situation, so he turned around and left.
"Stop!" Han Du suddenly stood up and shouted loudly.
Han Du has been laughing since Chen Jian came in. When he saw that Chen Jian still wanted to keep the matter away from him, his expression gradually became cold and stern.
Chen Jian saw that he was one step away from walking out of here, and he wanted to escape from the house directly. Secretly gritting his teeth, hesitating again and again, he turned around with difficulty and asked Handu with a smile on his face: "Master Hou, what do you mean?"
Han Du said sternly: "Chen Jian, I now suspect that you are the mastermind of this case. You should stay. Come, arrest me and put you in jail."
Two soldiers immediately stepped forward and grabbed Chen Jian firmly.
Chen Jian suddenly panicked and was so frightened that he struggled to resist. And shouted loudly: "Han Du, I am the fourth rank of Shaoqing of Dali Temple. Even if I am guilty, I will first go through the joint trial of the Ministry of Punishment, the Supervisory Office, and the Marble Tribunal. You have no right to arrest me."
"You'd better keep these words to tell the emperor and drag them on!" Han Du glared and yelled. This old boy really doesn't shed tears until he sees the coffin, and even at this moment he still wants to muddle through.
Two soldiers directly dragged Chen Jian away.
Seeing that the matter was irreversible, Chen Jian immediately started struggling crazily and yelled, "Handu, if you harm your colleagues, the Gonggun princes in the court will not let you go. You must not die well, you must not die well..." ..."
When Han Du heard what Chen Jian said, he didn't take it to heart at all. These bastards forced countless people to die for a little money. Letting them die now is a result of karma and retribution.
...
Before that, there was a lot of excitement in the prison of Liyang County Government.
In other words, Jiang Yiru was thrown into the cell after being tortured. It stands to reason that at his age and being tortured, there is little hope of survival.
A person who is destined to die, although he used to be the leader of everyone, but in this case no one is willing to save him. Even in the small cell, everyone tried their best to avoid Jiang Yiru for fear of getting involved by him.
But he managed to survive without any doctor to treat his injuries.
"Ah~"
Jiang Yiru, lying on the ground, let out a weak cry.
The people nearby heard it and looked at each other a few times.
Suddenly, a landowner and gentry made a voice of great surprise. He suddenly lay down in front of Jiang Yiru and called out imploringly: "Mr. Jiang, are you awake, Mr. Jiang?"
