Wu Er was a man made of steel. After being tortured for so long, he just gritted his teeth and didn't say a word.
Wu County Lieutenant was worried that Magistrate Sun would pursue him, so he did not dare to directly kill Wu Er, so he did not let his men use severe punishment, that is, whipping, beating with boards, and using sticks...
In the end, Wu Er survived and continued to stay in the squad room with scars all over his body.
…
Wu County Lieutenant's home.
Dutou Houting, who just took office two years ago, and Sanshui Town inspector Cao Yufeng, who went home for the New Year, are drinking with him.
"Don't worry, County Lieutenant, that Wu Er won't last long. I will make him plead guilty tomorrow!"
Under the influence of alcohol, Hou Ting beat his chest loudly, and while flattering Wu County Lieutenant, he glanced at Cao Yufeng with his eyes. Everyone could see the provocation in his eyes.
Cao Yufeng didn't care at all.
Just kidding, no matter how big the trouble was, it wouldn't worry him as much as his only son running to Yun Chao as a hostage.
Ever since Cao Wanjuan went to Wolong Village, Cao Yufeng had not thought about food or tea, and he had never had a good year.
In the face of such a big event, Hou Ting's provocation is nothing. To Cao Yufeng now, it is just drizzle.
Wu Xianwei was very satisfied with Cao Yufeng's performance.
Look, it's still Cao Cao, but his demeanor is different, much better than the newcomer Hou Ting.
"Old Cao, your first task this year is to completely control Sanshui Town. Are you confident?"
Cao Yufeng wanted to say that I have a lot of confidence. With that boy Yun Er here, it would be a joke to control Sanshui Town.
However, when the words came to his lips, they turned into: "Don't worry, County Lieutenant, everything is under the control of my subordinates!"
Wu County Lieutenant was even more satisfied with Cao Yufeng: "By the way, Old Cao, that Yun Er in Wolong Village seems to be the leader of several village leaders. You have to be more careful. If it doesn't work, just tell me and I will help you get rid of him." !”
Cao Yufeng cursed in his heart, "Old fox, you're just a talker. If you want to get rid of Yun Er, you should have gotten rid of him long ago. If you have to involve me, not only will I lose a lot of money, but I will also make my son become Yun Er's hostage." !
"Don't worry, County Lieutenant, that Yun Er didn't dare to mess around at all. He knew that his subordinates were yours, and he even gave me two pig legs during the Chinese New Year!"
Before Wu County Lieutenant could say anything, Hou Ting burst into laughter: "Haha, Lao Cao, you are too easy to pass up, aren't you going to celebrate the New Year with just two pig legs?"
Cao Yufeng glanced at Hou Ting: "You're new here, you don't know. Sanshui Town is very poor. A village leader can't make much money all year round. It's already good to give me two pig legs!"
Wu County Lieutenant once received a gift from Yun Chao. Although it was Cao Yufeng who paid for it, Wu County Lieutenant did not know. He heard that Yun Chao only gave Cao Yufeng two pig legs. Thinking back to the fifty taels of silver he gave to himself, I was relieved immediately.
It seems that the person named Yun is okay and doesn't dare to look down on himself.
Of course, Yun Chao's pagoda poem was automatically ignored by Wu Xianwei.
Damn, it’s thin at the bottom and thick at the top...
You can't think about it. You get angry when you think about it. It's really insulting to gentle people!
…
The next day, Yun Chao did not break his promise. He took a dozen boys and rode fast horses directly to Qingyang County.
Without going to the Yamen, Yun Chao found Zhao Runchun first.
When Zhao Runchun saw Yun Chao coming, he was happy at first, and then his face fell.
"Inspection Yun, isn't it inappropriate to hold someone's daughter captive during the Chinese New Year and not allow her to go home for a reunion?"
Yun Chao ignored Zhao Runchun's strange annoyance: "Old Zhao, tell me what happened to Wu Er quickly. I'm in a hurry to save people. We'll talk about other things later."
Zhao Runchun rolled his eyes. It seemed that Wu Er had a higher status in Yun Chao's heart than his precious daughter.
That's okay. If this continues, will my precious daughter not suffer a loss?
Unfortunately, with Yun Chao in his hands, Zhao Runchun had no choice but to tell Wu Er's story no matter how angry he was.
In fact, Zhao Runchun knew no more than his apprentice Bai Shu.
Because he is not as curious as Bai Shu, he even knows less than his apprentice.
Yun Chao inquired for a long time, but could not find out anything new. In desperation, he had to go to Cao Yufeng.
Hearing that Yun Chao was coming, Cao Yufeng hurriedly went out to greet him.
As soon as he came out, Cao Yufeng's eyes were not enough, and he searched desperately for the boys behind Yun Chao.
Unfortunately, after looking at it three times in a row, Cao Yufeng didn't see his son, so he turned his attention back to Yun Chao.
Yun Chao was not polite to Cao Yufeng at all. After the two exchanged greetings, before entering the room, Yun Chao asked about Wu Er's situation.
When Cao Yufeng heard that Yun Chao was here for Wu Er, he frowned: "Brother Yun, it's not that I don't want to help, it's just that I can't help with this!"
"oh?"
Yun Chao touched his chin: "Brother Cao, I don't know how I can help?"
"Why……"
Cao Yufeng sighed: "Brother Yun, to tell you the truth, Wu Er is the person Wu County Lieutenant is determined to deal with. He wants to use him to deal with Sun County Magistrate, but Wu County Lieutenant finally found the opportunity. Do you think he can Do you give up easily?"
Yun Chao narrowed his eyes. It seemed that Cao Yufeng had not concealed anything and had told everything about the struggle among the upper echelons of Qingyang County.
"Brother Cao, you have to give it a try whether it works or not. Let's do this. There are fifty taels of silver here. You can go to the Yamen to sort it out. At the very least, don't let Wu Er suffer too much."
Yun Chao was also afraid that Wu Er would be beaten and crippled. No matter how good a hero he was, he could not withstand the harsh punishment.
Cao Yufeng's eyelids twitched, it turns out you are rich!
For a martial artist, you took out fifty taels of silver.
When giving gifts to Lieutenant Wu County, you asked me to give them to you. Doesn't your conscience hurt?
Cao Yufeng did not accept the money and shook his head:
"Brother Yun, you don't know. I'm the patrol inspector of Sanshui Town now and can't take care of the affairs in the yamen. A new guy is in charge of Wu Er's case. I won't deal with that kid and brother. If he interferes, Wu Er might suffer even more."
Yun Chao thought about it and was right. It was better to take charge of the county magistrate now. After all, Cao Yufeng was no longer dead.
"Let's do this. You take me to see Wu County Lieutenant, and I'll tell him, okay?"
Cao Yufeng glanced at Yun Chao and said to himself: This guy is brave enough. Aren't you afraid that Wu will arrest you directly?
Cao Yufeng didn't know that the reason why Yun Chao dared to see Wu County Lieutenant was a decision he made after careful consideration.
Unless you want to fall out with Lieutenant Wu, it is necessary to have a good relationship with Lieutenant Wu, who is in charge of public security.
Yun Chao didn't plan to make any trouble now, so if he could not fall out with Wu Xianwei, it was best not to confront him.
Some time ago, Wu County Lieutenant even sent shopkeeper Wu from the grain store to Wolong Village to win over Yun Chao.
As a result, due to the frame-up of the fat shopkeeper, the relationship between Yun Chao and Wu County Lieutenant suddenly became delicate.
Now Yun Chao goes to see Wu County Lieutenant, firstly to get Wu Er, and secondly to test his tone. If the old guy still wants to get rid of him, he might as well make preparations in advance!
