Xu Xiangtian took a deep breath and felt that what the judge said made sense, he nodded and said, "Okay, I understand." I'll take care of it. ”

Although he didn't know the bottom in his heart, he still had some ideas. Anyway, if the case is tried in a public court, as long as the officials who try the case are trapped, everything will be easy. In addition, he firmly believes that this matter must not be delayed, and the sooner it is resolved, the better, so as not to have too many dreams at night. What's more, Li Hui obviously wants to understand quickly.

Thinking of this, he decided to go home first and find his father to dredge up the officials in Ezhou City overnight. As his father's dignified observer, I believe that the governor of Ezhou and some criminal officers and prosecutors will not dare not sell face, not to mention that there are two mountains behind this matter, Li Hui and Zhai Xuan, so they can't afford not to compromise-

Xu Xiangtian's father, Xu Yuanzhi, naturally has a grudge against Zhou Bo, this nobody actually stepped on his eldest son and climbed to the position of the capital of Xiying, how could he not let himself hate him. Therefore, after hearing Xu Xiangtian mention that he was going to inform the officials of the state government, he did not hesitate and agreed.

Xu Xiangtian saw that his father was out in person, so he didn't worry about anything, and he was bored that night, so he decided to go to Li Huixingyuan's dungeon to taunt Zhou Bo.

At this moment, in the dungeon of Xuanfu's envoy, Zhou Bo was wearing shackles of more than fifty catties on his shoulders, and there were chains on his feet and hands. He was in a very annoyed mood, who would have thought that yesterday he was still in charge of the Xiying capital. Today, he has become a prisoner. This world is really chilling.

He has been from the morning to now. They were all concentrating on how to break the shackles and iron locks, and they didn't think for a moment about sitting still. In his eyes, the ancient torture tools should be very backward, and they can always find flaws to get out. The cage in this dungeon is nothing more than a wooden stake, and the gap is still very large, so you can only get out, and you can definitely get out.

It's just that until now, he couldn't pull his hands out of the shackles. Not to mention getting out.

The sky gradually darkened, and Li Hui was also poisoned, and he didn't send anyone to deliver a mouthful of water or a bowl of rice for a day. At this time, Zhou Bo was already sleepy and tired, but he held on to his spirits, hoping that a miracle would happen before he died.

Just then, the door to the dungeon opened, and a man walked in.

Before this person appeared, a sneer and contemptuous voice arrived first: "The surname Zhou, you also have today?" But this day is also relatively lucky for you, it has made you beautiful for more than three months. ”

Zhou Bo knew who it was when he heard this voice. He snorted coldly and said, "Xu Xiangtian." Anyway, I saved you, you wicked villain, you didn't know how to repay it, but you repeatedly framed me. Hmph, I really hate that I was soft-hearted and saved you, a wolf-hearted person, blindly. ”

Xu Xiangtian walked down the steps of the dungeon and came to the cage, with a smug look on his face, he said with a smile: "I am naturally grateful to you for saving me." But if you had been a good slave along the way, you wouldn't have fallen to the point you are today. It's all your own fault, you have to be a hero, don't you know what a shot is to shoot a bird?"

Zhou Bo took a deep breath, he knew that Xu Xiangtian was deliberately ridiculing himself to satisfy his proud **, if he was angry now, he would fall into Xu Xiangtian's arms. He closed his eyes and ignored Xu Xiangtian.

Xu Xiangtian made provocative remarks for a long time, but when he saw that Zhou Bo did not move, he had no choice but to ask for a boring one in his heart. He viciously left a sentence to Zhou Bo and said, "Hmph, you just wait here to die." I'm going to convince you to die. Not only did you lose your life, but I also left you stinking for thousands of years, and even your name was listed as a traitor. Hmph!!"

With that, he turned and left the dungeon in a rage.

Zhou Bo let out a long sigh of relief, but laughed at this time, he was finally in prison, and he also mentally teased Xu Xiangtian. However, this pleasure was only temporary, and when he opened his eyes and looked at the only skylight in the dungeon, he felt a little desolate in his heart.

It didn't take long for the door of the dungeon to open again.

I heard one of the guards laugh and say, "Little lady, this is a crime, don't stay too long." ”

Then, a familiar female voice said: "I know, I know, just for a while, Brother Guard, don't worry, I'll go out later." ”

The guard smiled again and said, "Good girl, go, remember to hurry up." ”

Soon, a thin figure jumped down the steps and soon came to the front of the cage.

Zhou Bo followed the bright light from the skylight and saw clearly the appearance of the comer, who turned out to be Qin Han's personal maid twig. He looked a little stunned, Xiaozhi is here, isn't it even Qin Han who is here?

Xiaozhi was holding a lunch box in his hand, and his face was a little unpleasant. She came to the cage, squatted down, stared at Zhou Bo, and said, "Hey, the master of the slave and maid sent the slave and maid to bring you food." ”

When Zhou Bo heard this, instead of sympathizing with him, he still spoke coldly, but he couldn't accept it. He sighed and said faintly, "It's really a hot and cold world." I, Zhou, are now a prisoner, and I can't even look down on a little girl, which is sad and lamentable. ”

When Xiaozhi heard this, he was stunned at first, then straightened his face, and said angrily: "You deserve it, you can't live if you do it yourself." You are so dignified and in charge, you actually think of plotting against the enemy, your conscience is really called the wolf dog to eat. ”

Zhou Bo immediately stared at Xiao Zhi with angry eyes, and he said with full dignity: "I, Zhou Bo, a seven-foot man, stand up straight, if you little girl listen to rumors and think that I am really collaborating with the enemy and rebellious, then you will get out of here for me now." Hmph, even though I am going to die unjustly, I will never be humiliated by you and others before I die. ”

The first time Xiaozhi saw Zhou Bo so angry, she was so startled, and the lunch box in her hand almost fell to the ground. After being stunned for a long time. She gradually came back to her senses. Biting his lip, he whispered: "Slave slave slave just listen to the master." You were arrested because of rebellion, how can the slave know the truth of this matter. You are good now, you don't know how to defend yourself, you will only scare the weak woman of the slave. Hum. ”

After she finished speaking, she turned her face a little angrily and ignored Zhou Bo.

Zhou Bo didn't mean to apologize, he had experienced too many things today, and his mind was already a mess. He let out a long sigh of relief. Silence followed.

Xiaozhi waited for a long time, but he didn't see Zhou Bo reply, and he was a little breathless. She looked at Zhou Bo again and asked cautiously, "Isn't it okay for the slave to apologize to you?" or you can eat something first, this is specially made by the slave's master to the kitchen, and it is still hot. Well, your hands and feet are inconvenient, you get closer, and the slave will feed you. ”

Zhou Bo sighed and said, "Forget it." I'm already a dying man, and I can go hungry for a day. It's a big deal to be a ghost. In the end, I came to settle accounts with these people who framed me. ”

Xiao Zhi heard the evil ghost, and looked a little frightened, she said hesitantly: "Slave slave slave didn't offend you, you, don't come to the slave and maid." ”

Zhou Bo was not in the mood to joke with Xiaozhi, he suddenly thought of Qin Han, so he asked, "Where is Qin Niangzi now?"

Xiaozhi said: "The master of the slave and maid is at home, and the master does not let her come out, so the master of the slave and maid will let the slave and maid come to visit you, the official of Zhou." In fact, the slaves didn't want to come. ”

Zhou Bo said: "It seems that you also treat me as a traitor?"

Xiaozhi lowered his head and said inexplicably: "The slave doesn't know. However, when I saw Zhou Guanren just now, you are so righteous and stern, there must be a misunderstanding in this. ”

Zhou Bo smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, it's cold here, it's better not to stay more than your little lady." I only ask you for one thing, let me tell Mrs. Qin what I just said. She'll understand. ”

Xiaozhi nodded and said, "Well, the slave must tell me." Then, Zhou Guanren, you better eat something first. ”

Although Zhou Mingyi was hungry, he didn't have any appetite, shook his head and said, "I have a good intention, you can go." ”

Xiaozhi sighed, and there was no choice but to carry the lunch box and turn around and leave-

The next morning, when it was just dawn, Zhou Bo was woken up by the guards, and before he could figure out what was happening, the people had been escorted into a carriage. Although the carriage was tightly covered, he could still hear the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps around him, and he must have been protected by many soldiers. He felt a little strange, with his current identity, Li Hui actually used a carriage to carry himself instead of a prisoner's carriage, which was really interesting.

After jolting on the carriage for about half an hour, it finally stopped. At this time, the season is already cold, the days are short and the nights are long, and the sky is still a dark blue. After getting out of the carriage, Zhou Bo found that he had arrived at the main gate of the Zhizhou Mansion, and the entire Zhizhou Mansion was surrounded by soldiers, densely guarded. He was secretly amused, he was not a prisoner appointed by the imperial court, could he use it so much? However, this also reflected that Li Hui and the others were very weak in their hearts, for fear that they would escape.

He was a little strange, what did he do when he sent himself to the governor's mansion? Could it be that he still had to open a court to try himself?

It seems that Xu Xiangtian and Li Hui have really put in a lot of effort, and they must let their reputations be discredited after they die.

Several guards behind him pushed Zhou Bo and let Zhou Bo walk into the door of the public hall of the Zhizhou Mansion.

Because he had shackles on his feet, he could only walk forward step by step, and slowly swallowed and walked into the court. He had thought that it was early in the morning, and that he would be taken to the cell of the Yamen to be guarded first, and then tried after the sun rose. But when he came to the court, he was shocked to find that everything in the court was ready, and the officials, clerks, and the governor of the state were already neatly dressed and in place, and they only waited for him to come forward to hold a trial.

Zhou Bo understood now, he originally thought that he would get a public trial, but he didn't expect that this public trial would be like this, early in the morning, the people of the entire Ezhou City would open a court trial before they woke up, who would the trial be for? Is this still a public trial? He couldn't help laughing, this is nothing more than a trick played by Li Hui and Xu Xiangtian, the purpose is to make his original rebellious thief become a real and honest and grandiose thief.

was pushed and shoved by the soldiers and brought to the main hall, and the governor of Zhizhou directly slapped the shocking wood, and the two soldiers each kicked Zhou Bo's leg joint, forcing him to kneel.

The Xianggong of Zhizhou was just about to open his mouth to shout "Shengtang", but Zhou Yuanqing laughed coldly and shouted: "Does this case still need to be tried? You have already convicted me of guilt, so just put me in the dungeon directly, so as to save you Xianggong and old men from being sleepy-eyed." Since you regard the public trial as a trick like a trick of playing with a family and a little baby pinching mud, then this dignity does not need to be hung on your face, anyway, everyone knows it. ”

Hearing Zhou Bo's words, the Zhizhou Xianggong was stunned at first, and then exchanged words with the staff next to him. In fact, these officials of the governor's government also knew that this time it was just a formality, and everyone was also sleepy, and it was completely laborious to try a case without suspense. Anyway, now that Xu Xiangtian, Li Hui, Zhai Xuan and others are not present, and there is no idler outside to hear the trial, there is no need to be so serious.

After discussion, the case was settled, Zhou Bo was first escorted to the cell and locked up until noon, and then dragged out to the streets for a while, and sent officials to post the trial report to various places in the city, and everything was decided.

Immediately, the governor of the state didn't even shout to go to the court, and said directly to the clerk on the side: "Go and go, take the charges to this guy, and then go to the cell." ”

When the document heard it, he was stunned for a long time, and said to the Zhizhou Xianggong again and again: "Master, master, I didn't ask any questions about this, I didn't write a single word on the charge, how can I draw a charge?"

The governor glanced at the clerk and said: "You are really a fuel-efficient lamp, it's just that, you first write down the words that should be asked, and then fill in it yourself, and then take it to this guy." I'll go and rest first. With that, he yawned, got up, and withdrew.

The governor left, and the other officials also retreated. Except for the clerk and the officials on both sides, he could only stay here helplessly. I had no choice but to write it casually and transcribe the entire public trial answer record out of thin air.

After half an hour, the document finally transcribed the charges, and sent a servant to bring it to Zhou Bo, and pressed Zhou Bo's finger to draw it. When everything was over, he pushed Zhou Bo out of the cell, and then all the people who should have dispersed dispersed-

At noon, the soldiers and servants came to the cell, took Zhou Bo out, and loaded him into a prisoner cart. Zhou Bo knew that he was going to pull himself out to parade the streets, he sighed, I don't know if those ignorant ordinary people will be deceived by the government and throw rotten eggs at themselves. But presumably not, after all, now that the drought has just passed, eggs are considered a good thing, how can they be littered?

At this time, the common people of Ezhou City were already busy, and the government had sent people to the market, city gates, and other densely populated places earlier, and posted notices announcing Zhou Bo's crimes after the public trial. Of course, the people are still a little puzzled, when is this trial going on, why is there no news at all? )
