Wha...what? "When Yu Fang heard this, his eyes widened immediately.
As a county guard, of course he knew Liu Changqing's name, and he stammered: "Xia, General Xia, it's impossible for such a trivial matter to alarm the royal court, right?"
"Liu Changqing is here for this matter. I have received the news."
Due to geographical reasons, Ningyang has a garrison, and its commander is none other than Xia Ping.
He is a truly senior general with a high position and authority, so he naturally has his own channels for getting information.
But when Yu Fang heard this, he still couldn't react, and said blankly: "This, this is impossible."
"Stop talking nonsense! Stop protecting the Gou family immediately and cut off all relations with them!"
Xia Ping scolded, and at the same time reached out and tapped Yu Fang's official uniform, and said unceremoniously: "You don't even look at your own rank, so what qualifications do you have to question this general's words."
In front of the county governor, he certainly has the arrogant capital. He can defeat the latter just by being a general and an earl.
"Yes, yes, I understand. Thank you, General, for reminding me." Yu Fang said repeatedly.
Xia Ping didn't remind him with any good intentions, but he was afraid of involving himself. After taking a deep breath, he said with hatred: "It's all your fault! What do you care about this kind of thing? It's fine now. Heaven!"
"This, this, I don't even want to do this, but the Gou family is involved in too many things, and I have to help." Yu Fang secretly grinned.
"This case was originally handled by the Long'an County Magistrate, and then you gave him an instruction, right?" Xia Ping asked again.
"Yes." Yu Fang swallowed.
"What did you tell Magistrate Long'an at that time? Was it a clear statement or a hint?"
"A hint, a hint. I didn't say anything that violated the law." Yu Fang said quickly.
"In this way..." After hearing this, Xia Ping thought for a moment and said, "It seems that there is still room for maneuver in the matter. Now you insist that it has nothing to do with this matter. Liu Changqing has no evidence and there is nothing he can do to you."
"Understood, understood." Yu Fang nodded hurriedly, and at the same time wiped his forehead with the sleeve of his official uniform, but soon, he seemed to remember something again, and exclaimed: "But! But Gou Ju There are so many things to know!”
"Then kill him! Exterminate the Gou family! Leave no one behind!" Xia Ping said coldly.
"What!?" Yu Fang suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
"If you don't want to die, just do as I say!" After Xia Ping finished speaking, he left directly, leaving Yu Fang stunned.
He was right. Why did Yu Fang protect Gou Ju before? It was because the Gou family had too many interests with him and knew many of his secrets. Once these secrets were made public, Yu Fang would die without a burial place!
And if Yu Fangruo is caught by Liu Changqing, then Xia Ping will most likely be involved.
This is no longer about Hu Qingqing, but about the big black hand behind Ning Yang.
No matter how powerful a country is and how wise its monarch is, corrupt officials are inevitable. This is simply unavoidable.
On the other side, Long'an County Government.
Liu Changqing and the other two are still waiting for the results.
But it had been so long and there was still no movement. At this time, he couldn't help but frown slightly and said in a solemn voice: "No, things are a little strange."
"Yes, sir." Wang Shao followed, "If things were normal, with Gou Ju's relationship, the higher-ups would have come to mention him a long time ago."
"Well..." Liu Changqing pondered for a moment, then changed the topic and asked, "You said before that Gou Ju has a close relationship with the Ningyang County Sheriff?"
"Yes." Wang Shao replied.
"But you have no evidence?"
"Yes."
"The Ningyang County Sheriff shouldn't have known about Hu Qingqing's case and shouldn't have asked about it, but he gave you instructions. Was it a clear instruction?" Liu Changqing asked again.
"No, it was a straightforward hint." Wang Shao returned: "If the subordinates had not obeyed..."
"No need to say it." Liu Changqing interrupted him with a wave of his hand.
At this time, Liang Principle couldn't help it anymore and immediately said: "Since there are hints, we can arrest the Ningyang County Sheriff and interrogate him."
"No." Liu Changqing shook his head and said: "After all, he is a county guard and an official of the court. You don't have any evidence and can't interrogate him. Besides, he can just talk and prevaricate."
"Master Liu is right. To serve as a county guard, one must be proven guilty before he can be summoned for interrogation. Otherwise, the Duwei camp will not have the right." Wang Shao agreed.
"This Ningyang County Sheriff is too cunning, why doesn't he come to mention someone?" Liang Yuan sighed.
"Of course he has received some news." Liu Changqing pondered for a moment and then said: "Now, there is no breakthrough from Gou Ju, because he is imagining that the Ningyang County Sheriff will come to save him. At this time, it is It’s impossible to confess anything.”
At this point, he paused suddenly, and then took a breath: "No, since we know that Gou Ju will be the only breakthrough point to find out the mastermind, then the other party must also know."
"My lord, what you mean is..."
"Maybe we can set up a trap." Liu Changqing said quietly.
That night, Long'an County Prison was held.
There is a wine jar and two wine bowls on the table, as well as a pile of peanut shells.
The two jailers were lying on the table, as if they had fallen asleep.
Not long after, a man in black appeared, with a black scarf covering his face, only revealing a pair of sharp eyes.
Without even looking at the two jailers, he walked unhurriedly towards the cell where Gou Ju was.
In the cell, a disheveled prisoner sat on the ground.
"Don't worry, Mr. Gou, I'm here to save you." After the man in black came over, he said first, then took out the key he got from the jailer and opened the cell door.
The prisoner didn't speak, but lowered his head slightly. His face was unclear due to his disheveled hair.
Seeing that he didn't respond, the man in black took two more steps forward, then instantly drew out his sword and struck straight at him.
I thought that this sword could kill me, but the opponent seemed to have been on guard against this move for a long time. He tilted his head to let go of the sword, and immediately jumped up. With a flick of his wrist, he already had the sharp sword in his hand. Three swords were struck in an instant!
The man in black was shocked. He was caught off guard and was forced to fight back by the three swords. He dodged one after another and escaped from the cell in embarrassment.
"You are not Gou Ju! Who are you!?"
he asked in alarm.
The prisoner jumped out and blocked his retreat. At the same time, he raised his head and said with a cold smile: "You've been waiting for a long time!"
As he spoke, he flicked the sharp sword in his hand and launched an attack on the man in black.
"Ah!?" The latter was shocked. Knowing that he had been fooled, he still dared to stop. He moved his feet sideways, stepped aside to let go of the sword, and then ran away.
But soon, with the sound coming one after another, several well-dressed men appeared in the entire prison at some point, blocking all the escape routes of the men in black.
"Be careful he kills himself! Take it down quickly!"
The disheveled prisoner shouted coldly, it was Liang Yuan.
And these well-dressed men are all from the Duwei camp.
