Qin Xiao smiled slightly: "So the head catcher thinks that if he truthfully reports what happened tonight, it will bring trouble to the Governor's Mansion?" ”

"The official of the Governor's Mansion has colluded with the Deserted West Death Wing in private, and there is no one to cover up such a crime." Lu Hong said: "I know that you didn't know Wen Budao's true identity before this, and you didn't collude with the thieves, but what you did is difficult to explain to others." ”

Qin Xiao sighed in his heart.

He had to admit that Lu Hong's words were not wrong.

He took care of Wen Budao in the prison at the beginning, and the reason at first was very simple, just because in that rainy dusk, Wen Budao handed him an umbrella, although the favor was not big, but Qin Xiao took it to heart, when Wen Budao encountered trouble and entered the prison, Qin Xiao took it for granted that he took some care to Wen Budao by taking advantage of his own volition.

Wen Budao was in prison for half a year, Qin Xiao got very close to him, and Wen Budao often taught him some gambling skills, so the relationship between the two became more and more harmonious.

Taking care of Wen Budao in the A-word prison has a good reason for Qin Xiao.

However, if you take care of Wen Budao just because of an umbrella, it is difficult to convince others, and even makes some people feel ridiculous.

"So what do you think should be done?" Qin Xiao thought for a moment before asking.

Lu Hong said: "You must not let anyone know that Wen Budao is the person of the Death Wing of the Wild West, you and him are too close in the prison, as long as you investigate a little, you can know, to ensure that you don't cause big trouble, you must not let people know his true identity." ”

"Concealing his identity, how to explain the killing of Qiao Leshan's gang?" Qin Xiao asked, "Don't you mention the Death Wing of the Wild West?" ”

"As long as you make sure that Wen Budao's true identity is not known, neither you nor Han Yunong will be in big trouble." Lu Hong said lightly: "What happened tonight, except for Wen Budao's gang, only you and I know, but they are thieves, so naturally it is impossible to stand up and say anything, and Wen Budao is indeed very grateful to you, so he will not publicize tonight's events to the outside world, so the truth of the matter is in your mouth and mine." ”

Qin Xiao sighed and said, "Lu Zhutou wants us to make up a fact together, so that you can protect yourself?" ”

"Self-preservation?" Lu Hong sneered: "No matter what kind of story we make up, Wen Budao has already escaped, and he has escaped from my hands, and my crime of dereliction of duty is enough to make me in big trouble." Wei Yi pondered, and finally said: "This time it was my desire for profit, I took the wrong path for a while, and I couldn't turn back, but because of you, I can at least save this life, so I will give you and the Governor's Mansion a satisfactory explanation of this matter." ”

Qin Xiao saw his solemn expression, and he didn't know if what he said was true or not.

"What are you going to do?" Qin Xiao was silent for a moment, and finally asked.

Lu Hong looked at Qin Xiao's eyes and said calmly, "This is what we are going to discuss next." He sat up straight and said, "At dinner, I put the drug in the wine and took the antidote myself, but the three of them will not wake up until tomorrow morning, so we have enough time to discuss every detail of what happened tonight." ”

Qin Xiao knew this.

Such a big thing happened at the post station, first the firewood room was burned by a fire, and then he took the opportunity to escape with Wen Budao, and the post office and the two yacha who came with Lu Hong were like dead from beginning to end, sleeping soundly, of course, this is a problem.

Turtle City Prison Jiazi Prison, since Qin Xiao left yesterday morning, Niu Zhi almost every once in a while to look out at the gate of the prison, until today the sun is about to set, and there is no trace of Qin Xiao.

Niu Zhi is not stupid, and even very clever, otherwise he would not have been favored by Qin Xiao at the beginning, and he was specially transferred to the Jiazi prison as an errand boy.

Dozens of jailers in the Turtle City Prison, all of them wanted to enter the Jiazi Prison as an errand boy, for which Qin Xiao once became the target of the jailer's door, Qin Xiao finally chose Niu Zhi, firstly, because Niu Zhi reacted smartly, and secondly, because this kid had some ink in his stomach, after all, among the fast catchers and jailers in the Turtle City Prison, there are only a handful of people who can read and hyphenate.

Yesterday, Lu Hong escorted Wen Budao away with his front foot, and Qin Xiao went out with his back foot, although Qin Xiao did not say where he was going, but Niu Zhi was clear in his heart.

He knew that Qin Xiao had set up something, and he was powerless to change it at all, but he was very sure of one thing, this little cell leader of the Jiazi prison was not a person who was willful, let alone a reckless guy who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, even if he was really worried about Wen Budao's safety and followed, he would definitely be cautious.

It's just that Niu Zhi doesn't know where Qin Xiao will always follow, and he will never follow Lu Hong and the others all the way to Fenggan Mansion?

If that's the case, it's going back and forth for five or six days.

If Qin Xiao didn't appear in Jiazijian for five or six days, it would inevitably make people suspicious.

If Han Duwei knew that Qin Xiao had left the Jiazi prison and secretly followed Lu Hong to escort the prisoners, Niu Zhi was worried that Qin Xiao would have to be whipped.

Han Duwei takes good care of his brothers, but once anyone in the Duwei Mansion makes a mistake, Lord Duwei will never pretend to be angry, and he will definitely be punished severely.

The key is that once Qin Xiao is punished, he is estimated to be unlucky, after all, if he shields Qin Xiao, Lord Duwei will definitely not be polite.

In public and private, Niu Zhidu only hopes that Qin Xiao can come back smoothly as soon as possible.

He followed Qin Xiao for two years, Qin Xiao can be said to take very good care of him, the two are of the same age, temperament is also similar, the relationship can be said to be very harmonious, and he knows very well in his heart that as long as Qin Xiao stays in the Jiazi prison, his errand will be as stable as Mount Tai, but if Qin Xiao has any accidents, the Jiazi prison falls into the hands of others, and the first person to leave is probably himself.

When the sun set, seeing that there was still no shadow of Qin Xiao outside the prison gate, Niu Zhi could only sigh lightly, turned around and was about to go back, when he heard the sound of footsteps behind him, he hurriedly looked back, but saw that Meng Zimo, the head of the horse fast, suddenly appeared, a little surprised, but immediately saluted: "Meng catches the head." ”

"Qin Xiao is inside, right?" Meng Zimo didn't seem to be in a very good mood, his expression was a little dignified, and he didn't stop, entered the door, and passed by Niu Zhi, "I'm going to find him for something." ”

Niu Zhi's heart sank, thinking that this time he was really going to be unlucky.

Mencius would occasionally come to Jiazijian on weekdays, but the number of times was not much, and he might be able to come back once in three or four months.

This time it's good, if you don't come sooner or later, you suddenly appeared when Qin Xiao left.

After Qin Xiao left, Niu Zhi was not worried that others would notice that Qin Xiao had left Turtle City, what he was most afraid of was that Han Yunong was alive Meng Zimo suddenly came, this was really afraid of something, Qin Xiao left yesterday, Meng Zimo came over today, he thought to himself Could it be that Meng Zhutou had heard something.

Turning around and seeing that Meng Zimo was heading inside, Niu Zhi hurriedly chased after him and shouted, "Meng Zhutou waits." ”

Meng Zimo stopped and looked back: "What? ”

"Actually, ......!" Niu Zhi hesitated for a moment, thinking that if he concealed it, Meng Zimo would find out that Qin Xiao was not there as soon as he entered the Jiazi Prison, and when Meng Zhutou started a fire, he could bear it, so he could only say: "Actually, Qin Tou'er is not feeling well, so he didn't come over today." ”

"Not feeling well?" Mencius Mo immediately became worried: "What's the matter? Is it sick? ”

Niu Zhi nodded and said: "He said that his body was a little uncomfortable, but it was no big deal, and it was good to rest for two days, so he rested at home for these two days, and let the little one take care of ...... in the prison!" ”

Meng Zimo let out an "oh", frowned, and said, "Then you are busy first, I won't go in, I'll go to his house to see what's going on..... Without delay, he walked away, Niu Zhi's vest was sweating, and he followed behind Mencius, hesitating whether to tell the truth.

"Are you hiding something from me?" Meng Zimo stopped abruptly, turned around, his face was cold, and his eyes looked at Niu Zhi: "What happened to Qin Xiao?" ”

Niu Zhi raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, bowed his body and said, "Meng Zhutou, don't blame me, it's actually .....!" Before he could say anything, he saw a yacha running in from outside the door, panting, out of breath and saying: "Niu Zhi, Niu Zhi ......!" ”

Niu Zhi was a little surprised when he saw this person: "You.... How did you get back? He recognized that it was one of the two yacha who followed Lu Hong to escort Wen Budao.

Yesterday morning set off, even if everything went well, it would take at least three or four days for Lu Hong and the others to rush back, this yacha suddenly appeared, which really surprised Niu Zhi, and his heart sank, knowing that something must have happened.

The yacha waited for the breath to come over, saw Meng Zimo standing in front of him, and hurriedly saluted: "Meng catches the head!" ”

Meng Zimo didn't know that this person escorted the prisoner to Fenggan Mansion, but seeing his breathless appearance, he knew that something was wrong, and frowned: "Why is this look, what is going on?" ”

"Head catcher, Lord Commander asked me to come over and give an order, so that Niu Zhi will go to the county guard mansion with me immediately." Yacha hurriedly said: "Lord Du Wei took Lu Zhutou and they went over first. ”

Mencius Mo was puzzled when he heard it: "Let Niu Zhi go to the county guard's mansion?" Lu Hong is back? Didn't he escort the prisoners to Bonggan Province, why did he come back so quickly? Instantly understood something, and his face sank: "Could it be that there was an accident on the way to escort the prisoners?" ”

"Wen Budao was robbed by bandits." Yacha said: "Lu Zhutou took us back to the Duwei Mansion just now, and when we saw Lord Duwei, Lord Duwei did not interrogate, and directly took Lu Zhutou and Qin Xiao to the county guard's mansion. ”

"Qin Xiao?" Meng Zimo's body was shocked: "What does this matter have to do with Qin Xiao?" Thinking of Niu Zhi's claim that Qin Xiao was sick and recuperating at home, knowing that something was wrong, he glanced at Niu Zhi and said coldly: "What does Niu Zhi have to do with this matter, why did Lord Duwei let Niu Zhi go to the county guard's mansion?" ”

"It should be up to Niu Zhi to testify." Yacha said: "Qin Xiao appeared at the scene of the crime, he said that when Lu Zhutou handed over the prisoners in the Jiazi Prison, although he pressed his fingerprint, he did not take away the custody documents, if there were no custody documents, when he arrived at Fenggan Mansion, Lu Zhutou could not prove to the side that the prisoner was escorted Wen Budao, so Qin Xiao chased after him with the custody documents, which was to hand over the custody documents to Lu Zhutou, so as not to make a mistake." Looking at Niu Zhi: "Qin Xiao said that you can prove this, so let you go to the county guard's mansion." ”

Niu Zhi was stunned at first, but immediately said categorically: "Yes, that's right, that's it, Qin Tou'er sent the documents to catch up, and I can guarantee with my life that this is true." ”
