The tall Changling Mountains stretch for hundreds of miles on the land of Xiling, although the winter days in Xiling are long, but after February, the snow on the mountain has melted, and the snow water flows down the ridge into the river below the mountain, and one of the tributaries winds through the Turtle City less than 30 miles away from the eastern section of the mountain range, becoming the most precious water source in the city.

As the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the roof of the Turtle City Prison, but it cannot bring a ray of sunlight to the prison through the roof.

The prison is located in the northwest corner of Turtle City, sparsely populated, but the guards are very tight, divided into A, B, C and three prisons, of which the first prison has the least prisoners, but the conditions are the most comfortable, not only each prisoner has an independent cell, and three meals a day are absolutely full.

A handsome young man was coming out of the cell at this moment, humming a small tune, but he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, dressed in an earthy blue jailer's uniform, with a wine gourd hanging from his waist, and a spring breeze on his face.

"Hey, Qin Xiao, how is today's harvest?" When the middle-aged jailer at the door saw the young man, he immediately greeted him warmly with a smile.

"It's not good, an iron rooster came in, but when you enter the prison of the Jiazi prison, there is no one who does not bleed." Qin Xiao's eyes turned into a crescent moon with a smile, reached over, and stuffed a piece of broken silver into the middle-aged jailer's hand: "Good brother, talk about righteousness, share blessings and hardships." ”

"Hahaha, then you're welcome. But you kid is naturally happy, even if it doesn't work, as long as he looks at you, everyone will be in a better mood. The middle-aged jailer laughed and kicked the silver into his arms.

Qin Xiao laughed and said, "Crying is also living, laughing is also living, naturally it is better to live with laughter." ”

Qin Xiao is engaged in special services in the Jiazi Prison, and the people who come in here are either felons or death row prisoners, and they always want to live a better life when they are dying or in the long days in the future, Qin Xiao calls these people prison masters, precise service, what needs are there, Qin Xiao will try his best to meet them, and the service is comfortable, of course, the fee is not very cheap.

If you don't have money, Qin Xiao will not bully, but just ensure food and clothing.

The labor fees received are all shared by the jailers of the Jiazi Prison, so although Qin Xiao's qualifications are shallow, his popularity is good, and everyone is willing to share anything new with Qin Xiao.

The middle-aged jailer looked around, and then mysteriously approached Qin Xiao's ear and said, "You should go back early in a while, something has happened to the yamen." ”

Qin Xiao was stunned and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”

"I heard that Meng Zhutou was arrested by the Zhen Mansion, and now everyone is trying to figure out a way." The middle-aged jailer sighed in a low voice: "But this time the opponent is Zhenhou Mansion, that's not something we can afford to provoke, you pretend not to know, hurry home, don't wade into this muddy water......!" ”

Something happened to Meng Zhutou?

Qin Xiao hummed, and without waiting for the middle-aged jailer to finish speaking, he rushed towards the front yard of the yamen.

A few years ago, there was a plague in Xiling Zhen County, and many people died, Qin Xiao was sick at the time, and almost died on the side of the road, but fortunately, Meng Zhutou met and saved his life.

Qin Xiao has a flexible brain and is diligent in his work, Han Duwei saw it in his eyes, and transferred him to the cell to be a jailer, and he took care of him very much, but he didn't want Qin Xiao to enter the Jiazi Prison, like a fish in water, and started a precise service in the Jiazi Prison, and the benefits were quite rich.

Whether it was Meng Zhutou's life-saving grace or Han Duwei's care, Qin Xiao never said a word "thanks", he felt that sometimes his words were too light and he didn't need to say anything.

At this time, he heard that Meng Zhutou had an accident, of course he would not stay out of the matter, don't say that the opponent is Zhenhou Mansion, even if it is the king of heaven Laozi, Qin Xiao is not afraid.

When Qin Xiao ran to the front yard of the county government, there were already more than twenty people gathered in the courtyard, Qin Xiao frowned, the two classes of Turtle City only added up to about forty people, and half of them had already gathered here at this moment.

The crowd chatted in a low voice, and suddenly heard a cough, and then saw a tiger-backed catcher raise his hand and said, "Be quiet, don't make noise." Glancing at everyone, he said: "Everyone knows that last night, Meng Zhutou led people to patrol the streets and kicked a dog to death, and only later did he know that the vicious dog came from Zhenhou Mansion." ”

Qin Xiao had already heard about this.

Meng Zhutou is a horse fast catcher, last night with people on a routine patrol, passing by Zheng Butcher's butcher shop, I saw a vicious dog is biting Zheng Butcher, fierce and abnormal, Meng Zhutou in order to save people, stepped forward and kicked the vicious dog's neck, who knows that the kick is full of strength, and it also happened to kick the vital point of the vicious dog, and it was actually kicked to death the vicious dog.

"The vicious dog hurts people, and Meng catches the head and makes a move...... Well, it is natural to come out to save people, but after all, it was the dog of Zhenhou Mansion who kicked to death, so we persuaded Meng Zhutou to come to the door to apologize, and it was good to turn a big thing into a small matter. The tiger's back and bear's waist looked serious: "After lunch today, Meng Zhutou thought about it, and still went to Zhenhou Mansion, logically speaking, it didn't take long to apologize to the mansion, but now it's dark, and Meng Zhutou hasn't come out of Zhenhou's Mansion, this ..... I'm afraid it's not good. ”

This is talking about Lu Hong, who is a fast catcher, and as soon as he finished speaking, many people changed color.

"Lu Zhutou, Zhenhou Mansion is the Hall of the King of Yama, Meng Zhutou didn't come out all afternoon, I'm afraid it's more auspicious." Someone worried.

Another humanitarian: "Two months ago, the young son of the Zhen family was riding a horse on the street, and the blacksmith Chen couldn't dodge and was hit, and afterwards he went to the Zhen Hou Mansion to apologize, and he was thrown out of the Hou Mansion for a whole day, bruised all over his body, and both legs had been broken, and he couldn't get up again for the rest of his life." ”

Qin Xiao also frowned slightly.

What kind of place Zhenhou Mansion is, of course he knows it clearly.

The three counties of Xiling, Zhen County, where Turtle City is located, is named after the surname Zhen, Changxin Hou is the head of the Zhen family, in fact, he is also the master of the entire Turtle City, in Turtle City, in fact, it is under the rule of the Zhen family, if there is a slight exception, it can only be the Governor's Mansion These errand catchers, directly subordinate to the imperial court.

But as early as a few years ago, even the fast catchers in Turtle City were no different from the house slaves of the Zhen family, and they always acted according to the face of the Zhen Hou Mansion, until Han Duwei came to take charge of the two shifts of fast catchers, and the situation changed.

However, in this way, it also made the Duwei Mansion a thorn in the side of the Zhen Hou Mansion, after all, in the eyes of the Zhen family, there was a yamen under their noses that was not under their control, which always made them feel very uncomfortable.

The atmosphere in the courtyard was unusually depressing, and after a while, someone said: "Meng Zhutou is a member of the imperial court, and the Zhenhou Mansion is serious..... Do you really dare to do something to Meng Zhutou? ”

"The Zhen family is a marquis." Someone immediately said: "On the territory of Zhen County, what do they dare not do?" ”

Lu Hong looked up at the night, frowned, and said, "Lord Duwei has not come back from the city until now, if we keep waiting, Meng Zhutou's side will ......!" After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Why don't we go to the Zhenhou Mansion and ask what the situation is?" ”

Immediately, someone said: "Head catcher, what is the place of Zhenhou Mansion, where can we enter?" ”

"Are we just waiting?" Lu Hong clenched his fists and said: "Meng Zhutou is not thin on everyone on weekdays. ”

"Head catcher, if someone else is in a dilemma with Meng Zhutou, if you don't say it, we will also copy the knife, but this time Meng Zhutou offended the Zhenhou Mansion." Someone smiled bitterly: "We are just a small catch, most of the family members of this middle are here, if we go to the Zhen Hou Mansion and go back to the Zhen family's people to settle the accounts, let's ..... Which of us can run? Lu Zhutou, your wife and children are also in the city, if you offend that side, then .....! ”

As soon as these words came out, many people couldn't help nodding, and even Lu Hong also showed hesitation.

Don't say that it is a small catch, it is the county guard, and the people of the Zhen family are also respectful, if they go to the Zhen Hou Mansion for Meng Zhutou and annoy the people of the Zhen family, it will be a big trouble.

Suddenly, I heard someone say: "Lord Commander is back, Lord Captain is back." ”

As soon as he heard that Lord Duwei was back, the crowd quickly frowned a lot, and the crowd dodged a way, and a slender man in Tsing Yi walked over from the crowd, came to De Lu Hong, and asked straight to the point: "What happened to Mencius?" ”

"Lord Duwei, Meng Zhutou went to the Zhenhou Mansion after lunch, and he hasn't come out until now, I'm afraid I'll be in big trouble." Lu Hong immediately replied: "Everyone is discussing how to rescue Meng Zhutou. ”

Han Duwei, a man in Tsing Yi, said in a deep voice: "Don't act rashly, I'll go to Zhenhou Mansion to find out what's going on." ”

"My lord, are you going alone?" Lu Hong hurriedly said: "That's not possible, Zhenhou Mansion is not a good place, and ..... And the people in Zhenhou Mansion have always had opinions about you, you go over now, I'm just afraid of ......! ”

"Can they still eat me?" Han Duwei sneered, swept around, and asked, "If there is any situation later, I will send someone back to say, who will go with me?" ”

The crowd at the scene immediately looked at each other, and when they saw their companions' eyes shining, they all lowered their heads immediately, Lu Hong's lips moved, but he didn't make a sound.

The huge courtyard, dozens of catches fast, no one dares to make a sound, no one knows what will happen when they enter the Zhenhou Mansion, even if they can get out of the Zhenhou Mansion, I am afraid that they will be regarded as a thorn in the side of the Zhenhou Mansion in the future, and no one wants to offend the Zhenhou Mansion if they survive in Turtle City.

"My lord, I'll go!" A crisp voice sounded, and Qin Xiao, who had been silent, stood up from the crowd.
