Gu Chengze and Lord Bai and their entourage hurried up and arrived at Henan Mansion when the sun was approaching. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Gu Chengze sat on horseback, his back straight, and his warm and jade-like face ushered in the prying eyes of many people, but he only had the idea of letting Xie Zhuoyan leave the cell this morning in his mind at this time.

Lord Bai sat in the carriage, and after he asked people to stop, he lifted the curtain and walked out, looking up at Gu Chengze on the horse.

"Master Gu, it's too late, let's go to the government tomorrow." Lord Bai suggested.

Gu Chengze frowned slightly, and then said respectfully and politely: "Lord Bai, I hope to forgive me, this case is more urgent, Xiaosheng's wife is still suffering from prison, and I really can't delay for a moment." ”

Lord Bai had no choice but to nod, sat back in the carriage, and the group walked straight to the mansion again.

Lord Bai seemed to have come to admire the loyal person, looking at Gu Chengze's face full of worry, and his cheeks that were emaciated from running back and forth were not good to say anything.

The person who loves his wife will not be bad, not to mention that this is a literati son who is famous in Xiangyang Mansion, and he has always been a son and brother respected by literati and ink writers.

Immediately thinking of Gu Chengze's wife Xie Zhuoyan, there was a look of uncertainty on Lord Bai's face.

To say that lady, since she saw Xie Zhuoyan in the county hall, her face and every move lingered in Lord Bai's mind.

is so confident and so calm and steady, it really doesn't look like a woman who is only a teenager.

This pair of people is really a match made in heaven for talented women and beautiful women, Lord Bai couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart.

However, after a long time, the group stopped in front of the yamen of Henan Mansion, and soon after the word was transmitted, Gu Chengze and Lord Bai followed the small servant into the mansion.

Henan Mansion is under the jurisdiction of the Qian Governor's Mansion, and Gu Chengze and Lord Bai have never contacted the Qian Governor's Mansion before, and they can't help but feel a little apprehensive about what will happen next.

Whether this case can finally be handed over to the Henan Mansion for trial still has to wait for a word from the Qian Governor's Mansion.

Qian Zhifu's forehead was broad, and although his two eyes were chaotic and dull, there were faint traces of fine light, and he was very generous to invite Lord Bai and Gu Chengze into the room on the side of the lobby, and let people serve tea.

The three of them first greeted each other and exchanged a few words of greeting, and only then did Lord Bai and Gu Chengze begin to explain the reason why they came.

"Now there is a big case, although there is no definite result, but because this case involves the prefect of Xiangyang Prefecture, I have no choice but to come to disturb it." Gu Chengze arched his hand and said.

Governor Qian didn't seem to be a person with too much official structure, but under that shrewd and indifferent face, there was a bit of an aura that was easy to get close to.

"Lord Bai and Grand Master Gu must have something important to come here late at night, but it doesn't hurt to say it, if I can share the worries of the people, it will be fine." The prefect of Qian is also respectful, but he does not lose the bearing that the prefect should have.

"Here's the thing, there was a bloody case in an inn on the outskirts of our Wenqu Town......" Lady Bai carefully told all the things that happened in Wenqu Town.

Later, Gu Chengze carefully explained the fire that happened in Xiangyang Mansion, as well as the connection between Xu Zhifu and this case.

Qian Zhifu twisted his beard, pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that this matter is indeed quite tricky. ”

This sentence almost raised the hearts of Lord Bai and Gu Chengze to their throats, I am afraid that after that, Governor Qian will send the two back with a word, in that case, there is really no way to investigate this case again.

Qian Zhifu didn't pay attention to the panicked looks of Lord Bai and Gu Chengze, and said to himself: "There are two difficulties in this matter, one is that the biggest suspect in this case is Xu Zhifu, although I am the head of Henan Mansion, I am not qualified to arrest Xu Zhifu for interrogation with this evidence, unless there is conclusive evidence, he can be arrested." The second is that Gu Dagongzi also mentioned before that Ling Tang was also imprisoned because of the bloody case in Wenqu Town, if the case is handed over to Henan Mansion for trial, I am afraid that it will be a little difficult for Ling Tang to leave the cell unharmed. ”

Gu Chengze couldn't help frowning when he heard this: "How can you say this?" ”

"If this case is tried by Wenqu Town, it will be possible to take Ling Tang back to the mansion after proving that Ling Tang was indeed chased and killed by someone who had to cause those people to die in vain. However, since the case has been handed over to the Henan Prefecture, the whole case will inevitably be investigated more carefully, and once the case is thoroughly investigated, I am afraid that Lingtang will not be able to escape the responsibility of killing people. Qian Zhifu said.

"But the Ming Dynasty has a clear law, and when you are forced to hurt someone or kill someone when your life is threatened, you can be pardoned, as long as it is proved that my lady was indeed hunted down and killed at that time, she can definitely be released from prison."

Gu Chengze's words were a little aggressive, and his speed of speech was much faster, as if he couldn't wait to save Xie Zhuoyan from the cell in the next moment.

"No," Qian Zhifu shook his head: "Although there are clear regulations, there are very few cases of accurate implementation, if you really want to release Lingtang from prison in this way, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public, and it will also cause a lot of sensation to the Ming Kingdom, but the emperor may not sit idly by." ”

Gu Chengze was speechless, he was in a hurry, he just wanted to rescue Xie Zhuoyan as soon as possible, but he didn't think of these details.

"There is still a great possibility that Ling Tang will be able to get out of prison, I mean there may be some suffering, and the process may not be smooth." Seeing Gu Chengze's worried eyebrows, Governor Qian hurriedly explained clearly.

Gu Chengze lowered his head and thought.

It is already the limit for a weak woman to let her stay in prison for more than ten days, and I don't know how long she will be locked up in a cell until the case is closed, which is enough for Gu Chengze to feel guilty, and now he says that it is possible to make Xie Zhuoyan suffer......

Gu Chengze couldn't let Xie Zhuoyan suffer a little more, he was sorry enough for Xie Zhuoyan.

At the beginning, Xie Zhuoyan sacrificed her life to save him, but now she wants her to be imprisoned, which is simply ungrateful, and it is definitely not a gentleman's doing.

Gu Chengze stood up suddenly, and Lord Bai and Governor Qian both looked at him suspiciously.

Gu Chengze arched his hand and said: "Xiaosheng is disturbed, let Wenqu Town continue to try this case." ”

Lord Bai was stunned and speechless, Qian Zhifu couldn't help but ask: "If Wenqu Town is allowed to try this case, I'm afraid that the case in Xiangyang Mansion will become a headless case, and the bloody case in Wenqu Town can be blurred in the past, but the souls of those innocent villagers in Xiangyang Mansion will not be able to be exceeded." ”

"Master Gu, you still have to think about it, this case can be small or big, but it involves many lives, so you can't be vague." Lord Bai couldn't help but wrinkle his eyebrows and said.

The dozen or so people who died in the inn, as well as the dozen or so innocent people who were burned alive in the fire of Xiangyang Mansion, are these people going to die in vain?

"I'm sorry," Gu Chengze seemed to have made up his mind, and said very firmly: "Xiaosheng can't let the lady suffer." (To be continued.) )
