What does it mean to say "Behead first and then report later, imperial power grants"? Chen Mohuai couldn't be more clear. Others kill first and report later, and may have to complete the formalities later, but the "Jingcheng Si" does not even need to complete the formalities. He only needs to go back and say hello to the emperor. This is a privilege.
After hearing these words, Chen Mohuai's heart trembled. He understood that he might still be able to use his tricks when his face was not broken. If someone wanted to use a knife after his face was broken, you could only stretch your neck and wait.
Old Wu walked up to Chen Mohuai and said in a calm tone: "Master Chen, it seems that your rank is higher than mine, but I am not afraid to tell you, let alone Master Shao. Even if I kill you now, the Holy Lord will not tell you To put it bluntly, as for Mr. Shao who wants to kill someone, the Holy Emperor won't even ask, so you'd better think it over yourself and don't use any crooked ideas. I've seen it, and no one in Qingshan City has the ability to do it. Our Lord Shao?"
Old Wu had no choice but to say these words. He also knew in his heart that once the two people's current identities were exposed, it would be good to protect themselves, let alone save others. Now that things have developed to this point, there is no way out, so simply It's better to go all out, it would be best if you can scare the opponent.
Chen Mohuai was really dumbfounded now. Now that "Jingcheng Si" wants to kill people, he doesn't even have to say hello to the emperor? So killing him would be like trampling an ant to death? During the day, he thought he had played some tricks and Shao Xi had nothing to do with him. Now he realized that there was no need for a reason for Shao Xi to really kill him.
But then he thought again, if he couldn't get the account book back, he would die sooner or later. If he extended his head, it would be a knife, and if he retracted his head, it would be a knife. The only way now is not to force it, to appease these two adults on the surface, but privately still have to find a way to get rid of the woman and get the account book back.
After watching Shao Xi and two people walk out of the county governor's house, Chen Mohuai ordered his men to call Cai Cheng and whispered: "Master Shao is going to interrogate Ye Ziyuan, you must be there to listen and do everything possible to Stop that woman from telling the truth."
"I understand that I will do everything I can to prevent the arraignment from proceeding smoothly."
After saying that, Cai Cheng chased after him.
When Shao Xi and the two arrived at the prison, there were already jailers waiting at the door. It was probably the inspector who had greeted them in advance.
The one who came forward was Zheng Jiansheng, the warden of the government prison. With a playful smile, he bowed his head and saluted Shao Xi and said: "Inspector Mr. Zhang has already greeted the villain and said that the two adults are coming to interrogate the woman. The thief Ye Ziyuan, I’m here to lead the way for you two adults, please follow me.”
Shao Xi glanced at Zheng Jiansheng and saw that he had a deer-headed head and rat-like eyes, a sinister eyebrow and a look of nodding and bending to please. Without asking, he knew that he was a snob who acted according to the wind, bullied good and feared evil.
The two came to the cell where Ye Ziyuan was being held. They saw that Ye Ziyuan was placed on a wooden bed in the cell. The doctor was treating his wounds and his legs were splinted. Inspector Zhang was standing in the doctor's room. He was watching the doctor's diagnosis and treatment beside him, and several jailers were standing guard outside the cell in a careless manner.
Zheng Jiansheng opened the cell door and invited Shao Xi and the others into the cell. He then asked the jailer to bring up two chairs, but Shao Xi raised his hand to stop them.
When the inspection officer saw Shao Xi walking in, he hurriedly came to Shao Xi and bowed and said: "Master Shao, as you asked, please invite the best doctor in Qingshan City to diagnose and treat Miss Ye." , now that the bones in the leg have been connected, and the wounds on the body have been almost treated, I have asked the guards here to take good care of Miss Ye, do you have any other instructions, Mr. Shao?"
Shao Xi glanced at Ye Ziyuan who was lying on the wooden bed, and said coldly: "Clean clothes, warm bedding, add a brazier to this cell, and order someone to cook some meat porridge."
Inspector Zhang bowed and responded: "I'll go and buy it right now, little one, and I'll send it over right away."
After saying that, Inspector Zhang turned around and left the cell to buy the things that Shao Xi wanted, and told the prison supervisor Zheng Jiansheng not to provoke these two adults if he didn't want to die, but to take good care of this prisoner.
Of course, Zheng Jiansheng was a thief, and he could tell his appearance. The normally arrogant Inspector Zhang was so arrogant today, so how could he dare not be cautious? So he stood by the side with his hands down without saying a word, waiting for orders, not even daring to breathe.
Shao Xi waited quietly for the lieutenant general Ye Ziyuan's injury to be treated. He bowed to the lieutenant and asked, "Thank you sir for the treatment. Sir, how is her injury?"
This doctor is also a knowledgeable person. Although his hands were busy just now, he also knew that the identities of the two adults mentioned by Inspector Zhang were extraordinary. So he hurriedly returned the gift, bowed and said to Shao Xi: "Sir, please rest assured that this girl is not in danger of life. She also has some superficial injuries on her body. As for these legs! She still needs some time to recuperate. Get up. There shouldn’t be much problem with walking, but some intense actions will cause a lot of inconvenience, and I’ve done my best.”
The fierce action mentioned by the doctor should refer to the fact that he can no longer perform his physical skills well. Whether as a thief or a dancer, this is tantamount to cutting off Ye Ziyuan's way of making a living. But that doesn't matter anymore. As long as she can be rescued and she and Lao Wu are here, these are no longer a problem.
After leaving the prescription for taking medicine, the doctor bowed and retreated.
Shao Xi called a jailer over, handed him the prescription along with a piece of broken silver, and told him that there was no need to take it back. The jailer's eyes were shining, and he happily took the medicine and went to grab it.
Looking at Ye Ziyuan lying on the bed, Shao Xi felt as uncomfortable as a knife. A woman who was willing to give up everything and wander around the world with her was now lying in bed unable to go anywhere. What awaited her next was a life-and-death crisis, and whether this crisis could be resolved all depended on herself at this time.
Shao Xi sat by the bed and reached out to gently smooth the hair on Ye Ziyuan's forehead. The scars on her face could not hide her beautiful appearance. Only her pale face reminded Shao Xi of her weakness at this time.
At this time, Shao Xi started to hate himself a little. He hated himself for not discovering these things earlier. I hate myself for not helping her complete these things in the first place? I hate myself even more for why I don't have enough ability to protect her at this time?
Seeing the scene at the side, Lao Wu turned around and said to Zheng Jiansheng and the jailer guarding outside the cell: "There is no need for you here for the time being. You all retreat outside. If I don't tell you, don't come in and don't hinder Shao." Your Excellency, arraign the prisoner."
Zheng Jiansheng said with difficulty: "Sir, according to the rules, even if the prisoners are being interrogated, we have to stand guard to prevent the prisoners from suddenly attacking the interrogating officials. If we go out, if something happens, you guys are really in trouble." I can’t afford it!”
"Assassination? Do you think we, Mr. Shao, are as useless as you, the county guard, and need a group of people to protect us? Who can you protect with just your abilities?"
After saying that, Lao Wu grabbed a piece of silver from his arms and threw it at Zheng Jiansheng.
"Don't talk nonsense. Take this money and take your brother to buy some wine. If you dare to say anything more, next time I will hand you a knife."
Zheng Jiansheng was so frightened that his calves trembled. No wonder Inspector Zhang repeatedly asked him not to provoke these two adults before leaving. He then said that the Sheriff was useless. Who in Qingshan County would dare to say such a thing to the Sheriff? Now that he had the money, it was considered as giving him face. He also knew that if he continued to be ignorant, he would be seeking death, so he picked up the money on the ground and retreated with a few jailers with an apologetic smile on his face.
Seeing that the others had retreated, Shao Xi took out the Red Blood Pill from his pocket and stuffed one into Ye Ziyuan's mouth.
This Red Blood Pill was worthy of being refined by "Taoist Immortal" Guo Youde. It was very effective. A moment after taking the Red Blood Pill, Ye Ziyuan's complexion returned to rosy. After a while, her brows moved slightly.
"Zi Yuan! Zi Yuan!" Shao Xi called softly.
Ye Ziyuan woke up slowly, but the severe pain all over her body made her frown. However, when she raised her eyes and saw Shao Xi, her face was filled with joy, which suddenly turned into worry.
"I should be in prison at the moment, right?" Ye Ziyuan glanced at the surrounding environment and asked weakly.
"Zi Yuan, don't worry! I will definitely find a way to rescue you. What you have to do now is to recover well and don't think about anything else."
Ye Ziyuan shook his head gently and said: "Don't bother, you know too little about Qingshan City. They will never let me walk out of here alive, because I have what they want in my hands." Something that is very important to them.”
"The thing you are talking about is the account book of the treasury, right? It contains evidence of their corruption and bending the law, right?"
"Oh? So you already knew it. How did you know that the account book was in my hands?"
Shao Xi gently stroked Ye Ziyuan's face with the back of his hand, and said distressedly: "The person who set fire and killed people in Jiaku was Liang Daoqian. I have found out and he is now in this prison. Silly girl, why are you doing this? Are you burdened with so much? If you had told me earlier, so many things would not have happened today. If you had discussed your actions today with me in advance, you would not have suffered so much now."
Ye Ziyuan smiled and said, "Since you found out that Liang Daoqian committed murder and arson in Jiaku, you must have known who the mastermind behind the scenes was. Do you still want to take care of this matter? Now it is a certain death situation, and you Why bother getting involved?”
"Originally, I really didn't have to take care of this matter, but now that it involves you, I must intervene. I will rescue you no matter what. You promised me that you would accompany me to travel around the world. You Do you want to break your promise?"
"Originally, I wanted to walk around the world with you, free and easy, but I said that was after successfully completing this matter. Now that I am in prison and my legs are broken, why do you care about me? I will only become yours. I am burdened, I have nothing else to ask for, I just ask you to submit the account book to the state capital, so that the people of Qingshan City will no longer be harmed by these corrupt officials."
"Zi Yuan, can you tell me now what is recorded in the account book? Why do you want them to be so unscrupulous in trying to find it?"
Ye Ziyuan sighed, "In recent years, bandits have been rampant in Qingshan County and the people have suffered. What is recorded in the account books are the private transactions between the county governor and officials at all levels in the county and the bandits in Qingshan County."
"What?"
