Chapter 38: Immortality

It's just that no matter how Jiang Fuqing called He Ze's name, she still lay there without saying a word, like a sleeping beauty in a fairy tale. It's just that what she needs now is not a prince's kiss, but the elixir of immortality that Jiang Fuqing misses in her heart, or a trace of peace that she thinks in her heart.

Jiang Fuqing looked at He Ze's face and said, "He Ze, come on, you wait, this room full of gold and silver will soon allow me to find someone to make an immortal pill." Don't worry, I'll find out who killed you. It's just that I've got to pick up speed, the governor has noticed it, and if I do it faster, the smiling tiger will notice it too. But I'm not afraid, as long as it's you, it's enough for me to do this. ”

"I said I would protect you, you must wait for me. Jiang Fuqing held the cold hand and said word by word, and then slowly retreated. Go back to the place under the bed and close the dark passage, and then lie on the bed and sleep with your eyes closed like a normal person.

The day was getting brighter, the night was rising like a wisp of smoke, the rising sun was slowly rising from the horizon, and a vibrant city began its day. Everyone in this small town was still asleep, and the sound of horses' hooves broke the silence.

A man wearing an official hat and driving a horse dismounted in front of the city lord's mansion, and after telling people his identity and intentions, he was immediately invited in, and after entering, he stood and waited in the hall, with his hands behind his back and his chest raised and his head raised, and he was very confident at first glance. After a while, Mr. Cao came, and after Mr. Cao came, he also said with a smile:

"Master Criminal Law, I really didn't expect you to come so early, do you want me to take you to have a cup of tea first?"

"I'm Zhang Tong, a first-class official of the Criminal Law Department," Zhang Tong said righteously: "I don't like procrastination, if you don't catch the murderer, I'll go back and report it immediately. ”

Mr. Cao's face sank, and although there was a smile on his expression, his heart was surging. The carrier pigeon is like water spilled out, but when I hurriedly reported it, I forgot that there was still this stubble, Zhang Tong, a first-class official of the Criminal Law Department, is known for his integrity, although this has also offended many people, but it has also allowed those who have mistaken intentions to get retribution.

Manager Cao has no murderer in his hands now, how can he hand it over, just when Manager Cao was at a loss, Xiao Lebang walked in. After Xiao Lebang came in, he smiled and said, "The villain has seen Manager Cao and Master Zhang. ”

"I know you, you are Xiao Lebang, the envoy of the old city, I heard that you are very capable. Zhang Tong said.

Xiao Lebang smiled and said, "Don't dare, it's just what others said casually." I caught the prisoner yesterday, and then put him in the prison and interrogated him for a while, and then it was night, so I didn't tell him because of the rest of the general manager. If Master Zhang is in a hurry, I will have the prisoner brought in now. ”

Zhang Tong nodded and said, "Well, that's good, bring it up." ”

Xiao Lebang answered and asked his subordinates to inform the guards of the prison, and then waited like this for a while, and the guards brought Yi Zhongtian, who was dressed as a dog, up. Zhang Tong saw Yi Zhongtian and asked, "Is he the prisoner you said?"

"That's right, my lord, the villain also took a lot of effort to catch him, but this is also thanks to the guidance of Mr. Cao. Xiao Lebang said.

Zhang Tong nodded, indicating that he knew, and then asked Yi Zhongtian, "What is your name and how did you kill someone?"

Xiao Lebang had already told him all these things, and he just had to memorize them like a manuscript, so Yi Zhongtian also answered them fluently. Zhang Tong listened and said: "This person is really cunning, if there is nothing wrong, I will take this person away." I really didn't expect that he was actually from the Yi family, which really surprised me. ”

"Wait," Xiao Lebang said: "My lord, the villain was tried until late last night, so Lord Yu has not been convicted yet, I have already sent someone to invite Lord Yu over, Lord Zhang should wait a while." ”

Zhang Tong didn't mind, but smiled: "It's okay, I'll just wait." ”

Yu Xian also came over, and after greeting a few words and inquiring about what happened, he said: "The sinner Yi Zhongtian committed the crime of murdering the iron coat, and according to the sentence of the Mingzhou law, he should be sentenced to death. ”

Yi Zhongtian kowtowed and thanked: "Thank you, Lord Yu." ”

Capital punishment is a pain that ordinary people can't bear, and it is often based on cannon branding and human swelling, so the death sentence is already benevolent and righteous, and killing the iron coat generally has no good end. If you cooperate well, if you don't cooperate, you will be punished with capital punishment at the light level, and you will be beheaded at the worst.

Yi Zhongtian stood up, and when he was taken away by the criminal law, he passed by Xiao Lebang, Yi Zhongtian glanced at Xiao Lebang, and Xiao Lebang also glanced at Yi Zhongtian. And this scene happened to be seen by Jiu Wentian, he saw the two of them looking at each other, but the two were the same height, and he didn't see his lips, so he didn't know if they spoke.

After Jiu Wentian came, he asked Xiao Lebang: "Lord Xiao, I just heard that someone from the Criminal Law Department is coming, is this your lord?"

Zhang Tong heard someone talking about himself, then glanced at Jiu Wentian, and then said: "You are Jiu Wentian, when I came yesterday, I heard that others said that you became the master of Dragon City, which is not bad." ”

"The adults laughed, it's just a matter of the marriage contract. Jiu Wentian smiled awkwardly.

Zhang Tong took Yi Zhongtian and left, and the city lord's mansion was also a lot quieter, and Zhang Batian from the Investigation Department came to the palace and said: "I was originally going to catch the murderer, but now the murderer has also been taken away by Zhang Tong, and there is no need for me to stay here." However, the pig's trotters here are good, and I will have the opportunity to come back in the future. ”

Xiao Lebang said with a smile: "The next time Lord Zhang comes, the villain must prepare pig's trotters." ”

Yu Xian also said: "Manager Cao, now there is no matter for me here, and I have to go back." ”

"Here's some tea, talk about it. Manager Cao took out a tea bag from his arms and handed it to Yu Xian, and then said, "Lord Yu can come to me whenever you want to drink." ”

Yu Xian took the tea bag and said, "Such a valuable gift, Mr. Cao, actually gave it to me, I will definitely remember this kind of kindness." Mr. Cao, see you in the future. ”

After sending the two adults away, Chief Cao said, "Now that the case has been resolved, your two gold orders should also be returned." ”

Xiao Lebang and Jiu Wentian took out the golden order and returned it to the hands of Chief Manager Cao, and then Chief Manager Cao sent it back to the warehouse.

After a few words of greeting, there were no more people left in the hall, and at this time, Jiang Fuqing also walked in slowly, and his haggard face must have not rested. After Jiang Fuqing sat there, he began to drink again, and Yu Yongyan also came to the palace at this time.

After Jiang Fuqing saw Yu Yongyan, he said: "Master Yu, the case has been closed, if you don't dislike it, just stay with me for a few days." ”

"That's what I thought," Yu Yongyan said with a smile: "It's just that I still have important things to do, so I won't stay long, and I have also checked the officials in the old city in the past two days." There is no piece of bad meat, it seems that the Jiang City Lord is well managed, it is really the pride of my Mingzhou. But yesterday, the old man and the so-called saint came to the city lord's mansion. ”

Jiang Fuqing nodded and said, "It's true, I also know about it, I heard that Master Yu is still fighting with those two?"

"I can't talk about grappling, but it's a move and a half, and the old man's force is not weak, so let them run. Yu Yongyan said solemnly: "But that person gave Jiu Wentian something and talked with Lord Xiao for a while. The Jiang City Lord also knows that my Mingzhou has always been at odds with the cult, if the old city has the selfishness of collaborating with the enemy, presumably the Jiang City Lord also understands the consequences of this matter, right?"

Jiang Fuqing nodded and said thoughtfully: "Hearing you say this, I also think that this matter is not simple, but the matter of collaborating with the enemy is also important to Lord Yu." After I finished my investigation, I will give Mr. Yu a reply, and I hope that Mr. Yu will not speak falsely. ”

Yu Yongyan sneered and said, "It's better to be like this, if it's okay, I'll go back first, and ask City Lord Jiang to give me an answer as soon as possible, otherwise I'll guess wildly." ”

"I'll send you back. Jiang Fuqing said.

After Yu Yongyan refused, he rode away, and this time the hall was truly quiet. Ye Yuze also rushed here, after all, there was still some distance from the Ye family to the City Lord's Mansion. After Ye Yuze came, he said a few words and went to take the students to train, and the remaining four people were in the hall.

Jiang Fuqing scratched his head, then drank a glass of wine and said, "Things are getting more and more troublesome, and this wine is not good to drink." Lebang and Wentian, you two are the heroes of this case, let's say, do you have anything you want?"

Xiao Lebang said: "The little man is the soul of the old city in life, and he is the soul of the old city when he dies, and he should do things for the old city, not to talk about anything in return." ”

"Actually, I still have a small request. Jiu Wentian said slightly embarrassed.

Jiang Fuqing was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Oh? Then you can talk about it." ”

Jiu Wentian then said: "In recent years, the city lord has neglected the eldest lady due to his busy business, so I want to ask the city lord to accompany the eldest lady more, this is just a request of mine." ”

Everyone sweated for Jiu Wentian, including Mr. Cao, Xiao Lebang felt that this Jiu Wentian was not a fool. You said that you want money or promotion, but you actually said that the father of the city lord was not up to standard, and you wanted him to spend more time with his daughter?

Unexpectedly, Jiang Fuqing said: "Well, this is very good, and I know that for the sake of our father and daughter, I have a heart." I accept it, and you disperse. ”
