"Okay, Brother Yu, please go slowly and I won't see you off." Zhang Leshi stood there and cupped his hands, watching Yu Tong leave.
He turned around, just as Hong Yuankui was walking over.
"Isn't this Yu Tong a subordinate of Liu County Prime Minister? Why do you ask about Zhao Cheng?"
Zhang Leshi did not answer Hong Yuankui, but turned around on the ground with his hands behind his back.
Liu Xian Cheng said nothing and only sent one person to ask about Zhao Cheng's situation, which was obviously to express an attitude.
Zhang Leshi was more determined at this time. It seemed that the relationship between Zhao Cheng and Zhao Cheng was extraordinary. Even the Prime Minister of Liu County, who had always ignored government affairs, sent people to inquire. If Zhao Cheng was not related to Mr. Bai, Zhang Leshi didn't believe it.
And he must report this matter to Luo Xianwei as soon as possible to avoid falling into passivity.
Zhang Leshi said to Hong Yuankui: "I'm going to find Mr. Luo. You can help me take care of this place. I'll come back as soon as I go."
Before they could go out, they met the tutor Feng Guanian head-on.
Zhang Leshi was stunned.
Mr. Jiaoyu is a rare visitor, and he never comes to a place like the arresting hall. Except for grand ceremonies in the county, Mr. Jiaoyu is rarely seen.
However, there is no civil servant in this county who does not recognize Master Jiaoyu, because most of the civil servants are Gongsheng students, that is, they have only passed the county examination and the government examination, but have not passed the provincial examination.
Therefore, these scholars cannot be officials and can only be officials. For example, Sanshu Yutong, who was under Liuxian Cheng, and Zhang Leshi, a civil servant in the prison, all belonged to Gongsheng.
These Gongsheng students were all passed the examination from this county, so of course the county's teaching master knew all of them.
"Mr. Feng, why are you here?" Zhang Leshi quickly bowed and asked for advice to go into the room and sit down.
But Feng Guannian obviously had no intention of entering the gloomy place of the arresting hall, so he stood at the door and said, "I won't go in. I'll just stand here and ask a few words."
Zhang Leshi somehow suddenly thought of Zhao Cheng.
Feng Guannian asked: "Are you arresting a student named Zhao Cheng today?"
Zhang Leshi frowned slightly, then relaxed and said with a smile: "That's exactly it."
Feng Guannian nodded: "Who is in charge of this matter? I want to find out the ins and outs, the more detailed the better."
Zhang Leshi said quickly: "It is the students who are handling it, but it only involves a few confessions of Li Fu. They are being checked now. Once the verification is clear, he will be released."
Feng Guannian was quite willing to break the casserole and ask the truth: "What confession, what was involved?"
Zhang Leshi thought about it and felt that there was nothing to hide. Anyway, he definitely did not torture him or read the formula. It had nothing to do with him.
So he briefly said a few words, roughly talking about the relationship between Li Fu and Zhao Cheng.
"These two people were neighbors in the village. Li Fu got a food recipe, so he gave it to Zhao Cheng to make and profit from it. We invited Mr. Zhao to ask about some things related to this."
Feng Guannian was a little dissatisfied: "How can a gentleman do the work of a craftsman? This Zhao Cheng is so confused!"
Zhang Leshi responded and said, "Yes, at his age, he should study hard."
"Alas!" Feng Guannian thought deeply and said to Zhang Leshi: "Your qualifications are not bad in the first place. If you could understand this truth at the beginning, why would you end up like this?"
Zhang Leshi could only smile bitterly.
After sending Feng Guanian away, Zhang Leshi could no longer hold his anger and hurried to Biyu Tower to look for Master Dianshi.
Luo Xianwei was drinking flower wine, the music of the piano was playing, and the beauty was pouring wine.
Zhang Leshi coughed at the door and spoke loudly to the madam: "Go and do your business. I'll just wait here for a moment."
Luo Xianwei knew that Zhang Leshi must have something urgent to find here, so he immediately got up and went out, and saw Zhang Leshi standing against the railing.
"What's the matter?"
As soon as Zhang Leshi saw Luo Xianwei coming out, he quickly described the situation in which the Prime Minister of Liu County had just sent people to ask about Zhao Cheng, and the county high school teacher Feng also came to ask about Zhao Cheng.
At the end, Zhang Leshi said to Luo Xianwei: "Sir, Zhao Cheng has been in jail for less than a day, and Liu County Prime Minister and Jiaoyu came to visit at the same time. It's not easy."
Luo Xianwei frowned at first, then thought of something and laughed.
"It seems that we are not in a hurry. There are still people who are. Come on, let's go back!"
Luo Xianwei was very happy. In his opinion, Liu Wenke, the chief minister of Hewu County, and Feng Guanian, the professor, were both well-known figures in the county. However, in less than a day, they came to ask about Zhao Cheng's imprisonment.
From this, we can conclude that Zhao Cheng is no ordinary person, and the person standing behind him is definitely Mr. Bai. Otherwise, the county magistrate and the imperial edict came to ask questions one after another, and how could they explain it?
You must know that Li Fu has been imprisoned for more than half a month and beaten to the point of being reduced to a human form. Why don't the county magistrate and the imperial edict come to ask?
This can only show that Zhao Cheng and Li Fu are definitely two different people.
Luo Xianwei was very happy because his move was considered the right one.
However, his original plan was to let Zhao Cheng stay in prison for two days until he was almost starved, and then he would release him to win over his heart.
But now both the imperial edict and the county magistrate have intervened, forcing Luo Xianwei to release Zhao Cheng early. Otherwise, when they put pressure on him and the county magistrate issued an order to release him, he would not be able to gain any favor.
So Luo Xianwei followed Zhang Leshi back to the prison in a hurry.
Bang!
Wow!
As the sound of iron chains and iron doors collided, Luo Xianwei walked in with a group of jailers.
The cell where Zhao Cheng was imprisoned was not far from the entrance, so a group of people soon came to Zhao Cheng.
Luo Xianwei glanced at Zhao Cheng, and then angrily scolded the jailer: "You bastards! I have already told you not to detain you at will, why don't you listen?"
The jailer quickly stepped forward and opened the cell door. Luo Xianwei stepped inside and took Zhao Cheng's hand without hesitation.
"Brother, do you still remember me?"
At this point, Mr. Zhao Cheng could no longer pretend to be stupid, so he had no choice but to raise his head and observe cooperatively.
"Ah! Are you...Brother Luo?"
Luo Xianwei was very happy that Zhao Cheng could remember his name and couldn't help but laugh: "Yes, it seems that brother Xian still remembers me as his brother."
"This is... Brother Luo, is he the supervisor here?" Zhao Cheng simply pretended to be stupid to the end.
Luo Xianwei said: "That's right. I saw you being interrogated just now, and I thought it was just a matter of asking a few simple questions. Who would have thought that these unreliable people would actually lock you up? It's really unreasonable!"
"Stop talking about this, let's go! I'll go have a drink with you, brother, to calm your nerves! How about that?"
Zhao Cheng smiled: "Then I won't be polite!"
Luo Xianwei was even more happy. He pulled Zhao Cheng out of the prison and went straight to Dashunzhai.
