As soon as Feng Muchi came in, he saw the county magistrate in official uniform slumped on the ground. He didn't need to guess too much to know that it was his order to protect Dong Lingyan.
He didn't care whether Xue Yan, Sun Shangshu and others were present, he picked up his sword and put it on the magistrate's neck.
"Are you the one in charge of this yamen?"
If you don't show off your power and treat a tiger as a sick cat, the Jianghu people will have the Jianghu people's solution. A small county magistrate is nothing in the eyes of the young master of Fengying Tower.
"This good man, why are you here at the government office?"
Afraid, but determined not to lose the court's face, the county magistrate forced himself up and tried to look Feng Muchi in the eyes.
But Feng Muchi has always been fierce, and the murderous intent in his eyes only subsided a little in front of Xia Tan'er. Now he looked at the county magistrate with a bit of anger, so much so that he yelled at the magistrate's back with murderous intent. Liang Leng was sweating so much that he almost wet his pants.
"Let me ask you, who placed Tan'er in that worst cell!"
"I don't know who the good man is talking about, Tan'er. Maybe it's his own arrangement."
"You are really good at shirking responsibility. Then call all your servants over. I will interrogate them one by one."
The fact that Xia Tan'er was imprisoned in the cell was somewhat of her own free will. Feng Muchi could ignore it for the time being, but there were so many empty cells and Xia Tan'er was imprisoned in the worst and smelliest one. Feng Muchi couldn't bear it anymore. He had to seek justice for Xia Tan'er.
"This...the choice of cell is arbitrary. Why should a good man care about it?"
"My young master is careless today. If you don't call people over, I will burn your government office to pieces today. If you don't believe that this young master is capable, you can ask the person sitting behind you." Those few."
Feng Muchi raised his chin. The county magistrate immediately looked back and saw Xue Yan, Sun Shangshu, and the housekeeper of the Lu family. Their faces softened a lot when they saw Feng Muchi. Only then did the county magistrate know that the person in front of him was I am afraid that there is a big shot bigger than the three of them, and I will never offend him.
In line with the principle that a dead Taoist friend should never die a poor Taoist, the county magistrate hurriedly ordered all the yamen officials to be summoned for Feng Muchi to interrogate one by one.
At the same time, Dong Lingjiu had just returned to the Ninth Prince's Mansion from the palace. He wanted to go to the Lu family to meet Xia Tan'er after washing up, but he didn't expect to receive a letter from Shaoqing as soon as he arrived at the door.
Looking at the words above, Dong Lingjiu's head grew bigger and bigger.
He ordered people to secretly protect Dong Lingyan in order to get the secret of the treasure map from the princess in Xiling, but he didn't expect that Donglingyan would actually send Xia Tan'er to the cell together with the Yamen people.
More importantly, the people he secretly sent came to report that Xia Tan'er entered voluntarily without any resistance.
This is what Dong Lingjiu is most afraid of. If Xia Tan'er makes a big fuss, it will be easier to deal with. He will calm down if he shows his sincerity and coaxes her away. But once she becomes silent, it means that the two of them are not far away from going their separate ways. What's more, this time it's because of Donglingyan.
Dong Lingjiu pinched the paper angrily, and the paper ball in his hand instantly turned into powder. He turned sideways and glanced at the waiting secret guard.
"Who has gone to the government office now?"
"Going back to the master, the Xue family, Sun Shangshu and the housekeeper of the Lu family have all rushed over. Young Master Feng is questioning the county magistrate in the government office. Mr. Xia, the young minister of Dali Temple, is also on his way there, but it has been so long. However, they are only questioning the county magistrate and have no intention of asking the county magistrate to release the princess."
