In July in southern Henan, although the sun is scorching during the day, at night, the cool wind will blow across the earth, and the stars will blink shyly.

The place where Yan Qi lives is located in the middle of Henan Road, so it has the name of Nanzhong County. The place where Qi is going at this moment in the night is the Nanzhong County Ya.

When he first arrived, he was very unfamiliar with everything in this world, but fortunately, with the guidance of a few bold young people in the village, he found the location of the county government.

Taking advantage of the night, Yan Qi put on a black night suit and sneaked into the inner courtyard of the county office.

There are flowers, water and rockeries in the yard, and under the illumination of the silver-white moonlight, the whole county government exudes a quiet and elegant atmosphere.

Yan Qi became more and more intoxicated with this land, until a piercing gong sounded one after another, and Yan Qi suddenly came back to his senses:

"The county lord has an order, and the officials of all sections will be vigilant tonight, so as not to disrupt the handover process of tomorrow's embroidered girl!"

It was a middle-aged man who spoke, holding a gong in his hand, shouting as he banged, followed by a team of about a dozen people.

Seeing this, Yan Qi hid tightly behind the rockery, his heart pounding. Yes, he can't even do the most basic crop work, how dare he go head-to-head with these fierce warriors in front of him?

But all things in the world are not necessarily solved by force, and in many cases, resourcefulness is the real way to win, such as wanting to capture the old and indulge, such as capturing the thief and capturing the king first......

Yan Qi didn't know why he had these messy things in his head, but when it came to a critical time, these things could always come in handy.

No, before he arrived at the county office, he heard some news about the county honor. The people in the village said that the county lord loved his wife as much as his life, and they happened to live in the deepest part of this inner courtyard.

Although in terms of morality, Yan Qi was unwilling to do some despicable acts, but in order to save the little girl who called her brother a lot, he still did it.

After the group walked away, Yan Qi bent down and lurked into the depths of the inner courtyard.

There were many rooms in the inner courtyard, but it was clear that the largest, most imposing, and still lit up to this day, was where the county lady and his wife lived.

In the moonlight, a silver dagger gradually showed its edge......

Yan Qi's breathing became heavier and heavier, and it was not until he saw the elder in the room through the window that he deliberately breathed a long sigh of relief.

The old man was dressed in green clothes, his hair was slightly white, and there were a few wrinkles on his face that had been carved by the years.

Yes, it can be seen from the rolls of official documents in his hand that he is the county lord of this county. And the middle-aged woman beside him who sharpened ink for him was the county lady.

The county lord's surname is Dai, as a parent official, he has always fulfilled his duties and benefited the township, and he is also deeply loved by the people.

Yan Qi was ready to break in, but he lacked a suitable time.

Gradually, Dai Xianzun was too tired from reviewing official documents and fell into a half-asleep state.

At this moment, Yan Qi clenched the dagger and kicked open the door.

At first, he was a little nervous in his heart, but when he saw the more nervous looks of the county honorable couple, his hanging heart finally let go.

"You...... Who are you?"

"Trespassing on the county mansion is a felony, you ...... DID YOU KNOW?"

Yan Qi glanced at him, ignored him, and rushed straight to Mrs. Xianzun, who was standing beside him, and then put the knife on her neck:

"I don't want to hurt you, as long as you obediently cooperate with me......"

"You ......" the county was about to be angry, but when he saw his wife's strangled painful expression, he could only force himself to relent:

"Good, good...... You let her go, I'll listen to your ......"

"I want you to release all the people arrested in Liuhuang Village, and no one will be left behind......"

"Did you hear that?"

Seeing that the county zun did not answer, Yan Qi suddenly pretended to be very angry, and the knife seemed to sink deeper and deeper into the snow-white neck.

The county respected it for a long time, but after all, he couldn't bear to see his wife suffer, so he reluctantly responded

"Don't ...... I...... I'll take you there!"

With some hesitation, he walked to the bookshelf behind him, which was backed by the wall and filled with all kinds of classical books.

I saw that he touched it for a long time before he found a dusty book from the depths of the middle of the shelf.

"I'll let you go, what are you doing with the book......" Yan Qi's heart was like fire, and his emotions were extremely excited.

"Don't worry, don't worry, aren't you going......" Somehow, the voice of the county lord suddenly became much gentler, and there was something strange in the gentleness.

"Bang ......"

A heavy voice came through the wall behind the bookshelf, and then there was a scene that stunned Yan Qi.

The wall made a "sizzling" sound, then split open, and a red wooden door soon came into view.

Looking at the surprised expression of Mrs. County, it can be seen that she doesn't know that there is a secret hidden behind this bookshelf.

The county lord smiled secretly and said:

"This secret room is connected to the cell and is used by me to interrogate prisoners in private......"

"Let's go......"

Yan Qi will be skeptical, but in this situation, he can only go with him, because if he enters the cell through the main entrance, the result can be imagined.

He slowed down, and while holding his wife, he followed the county zun into the secret room.

The county didn't lie to him, the secret room was indeed connected to the cell. It's just that this turned out to be ...... It may not be as expected......

Not long after walking, the secret room came to an end, only a "card" sound was heard, and the cell was gradually revealed.

"You're here...... Why aren't there any guards?" Yan Qi seemed to feel that something was wrong, and looked at him with a solemn face.

The county honored him with a smile and did not answer him, but just led him to the cell with the most prisoners.

"Let's go in!" The county leader got the key from nowhere and handed it to Yan Qi.

Looking at the people in front of him, especially Yan Xiaotao's helpless eyes, Yan Qi's emotions were out of control, and he lost his mind for a while, so he let go of Mrs. County without saying a word, opened the door lock, and rushed straight in.

"Now that you're in, let's stay a little longer......." A low and cold voice came from behind the county honor.

It was a middle-aged man with a gold-rimmed saber at his belt, a tall figure, and a majestic man. And behind him, he was also followed by a large group of officers and soldiers.

"Ghost Catcher...... This person will take care of it for you......"

Yan Qi came to his senses at this time, it turned out that the county zun had already premeditated, arranged the people and horses to a hidden place, and staged a good show of catching turtles in an urn......

The man walked slowly into the cell, and a deep voice gradually sounded:

"Pick one, peel, cramp, scrape alive, or...... Castrate you......!"
