Xiao Jing, who had a smooth journey, soon arrived in the capital.

In the past, when I returned to Beijing, there were people at the door of Xia's house to greet me, and when I entered the house, I could immerse myself in the gentle countryside and be happy, or simply sleep for a few days.

This time it was different, the group took Xiao Jing to verify his identity and threw him directly into the prison of the Criminal Department, and then left in a hurry with relief.

The environment here was terrible, and the jailer was not as casual as Yangling County, and he tried a few times to talk to someone, but the response was just a blank, cold face.

It's a place where officials are often detained.

Worst of all, a few jailers looked at him with something unusual. The wrestling outside continued, Xiao Jing didn't think that he would be in danger of his life now, but every time he met the eyes of those people, he would have a chilling feeling.

And just like that, a few days passed.

"Uncle, the little one is here to bring you food." A jailer carrying a food box opened the lid with a smile on his face, revealing the exquisite wine and food inside: "The food in the prison is too coarse, and I am afraid that you will not be able to eat the small ones." These are all bought from outside, and they can barely be seen, so you can just take a look. ”

Xiao Jing smelled the aroma of the food, nodded and said, "You have a heart." ”

The jailer laughed: "The villain can't do anything else, such trivial things are just a gesture." By the way, there are always some people coming in and out of the prison these days, so my uncle should be careful, don't fall into the way of others......"

He took the trouble to tell him for a long time before quietly leaving. Xiao Jing pulled the dish twice with chopsticks, but somehow put the chopsticks down again.

Half an hour later, there were footsteps outside. Sleepy-eyed, he raised his head and saw that the person who came was a man with a big waist and a round waist, and this person was the first time he had seen him.

The man walked up to Xiao Jing and quietly threw a small hat on the ground.

Xiao Jing just smiled and nodded at him again.

Isn't this the hat that the "jailer" just now was wearing, just look at the stains on it.

"Uncle." The strong man said lightly: "The ill-intentioned people have been cooked by the villain, there are mixed fish and dragons here, please be careful, we will swear to protect you to the death." ”

Xiao Jing smiled and said, "I'm tired." ”

The man didn't talk much nonsense, and bowed slightly and prepared to leave. Xiao Jing stopped him and said, "Help me remove this pig food first." ”

The footsteps faded away, and the prison was quiet again.

Xiao Jing let out a long sigh: Is it easy to live in a prison? It's boring day by day, and you have to guard against all kinds of ghosts, snakes, and gods, God knows how many people are fighting their own ideas!

Even the jailer who took the initiative to claim to be the Xia family couldn't believe it, when he saw the dagger another day, he might be the first person to come up and stab the knife, and it might even be someone else's abandoned son who framed the Xia family!

Xiao Jing picked up a pile of paper beside him, which was the "New Paper" brought in by someone else a few days ago. opened the second page, and the headline on it was extremely eye-catching: "Mirror News President Xiao is missing"!

There is no exaggeration in the article, but there are many hints at something, such as this paragraph: "...... According to people familiar with the matter, President Xiao's errand only takes seven days to go back and forth, but for some reason, it has been more than half a month since he left home, and there has been no news. On the other side, the Xia family seems to be facing a great enemy, and I don't know if there is anything wrong in the house.

If you don't hear from you when you go out for a long time, you are either entangled in things and it is difficult to get out, or you have encountered an accident, or there are other problems, such as getting into trouble. President Xiao is auspicious, and he should just be in love with the mountains and rivers, and he will not want to return for a while. ”

Xiao Jing sneered and dropped the newspaper.

Pan Feiyu is really down. First, use speculation and judgment without evidence to stir up the matter to attract attention, and then escalate the report to elicit the "truth" that you want to spread, creating a sensation among readers, and then making public opinion out of control......

I didn't teach you how to do the news! Oh, classmate Xiao Pan, you are still as self-taught as you were when you were a tabloid!

That's it, from the day Pan Feiyu went out to set up his own door, his antagonistic relationship with the mirror newspaper was irreconcilable. It is reasonable for him to use people's money to eliminate disasters for others, and it is reasonable for him to do things under the instructions of others.

As for Xiao Pan's "insiders...... This is very worthy of the name, and it lives up to my teaching: the person who is deliberately doing things behind the scenes is likely to be his backstage, and who else knows if those people don't know?

In that case, you can go ahead. I'd like to see if you can "be better than blue"!

When Xiao Jing was experiencing life in prison, there were also undercurrents surging in the capital.

On the street, passer-by A said mysteriously: "Let me tell you something, don't spread the word: I heard that President Xiao of the Mirror News was arrested by the government!" ”

Passerby B exclaimed, "Ah, why is this happening? Isn't he a very upright person, how could the government find him, could it be that he committed a crime? ”

Passerby A sighed: "How can this kind of thing be said well? I heard that someone with relatives in Yamen said that he was involved with the Hundred Immortal Sect, but he was locked up on the spot, and now he has been escorted to the capital and is being locked up in prison! ”

Passerby B's eyes widened: "Ah, Hundred Immortal Sect? How could it be! ”

Passerby A hurriedly said: "Silence, don't let others hear it, do you think you have a long life?" There have been a lot of things in the capital in the past two months, and the father-in-law Zhang in the correctional workshop committed suicide two days ago, I don't know if something was involved. It seems that there will be another storm soon, but I don't know who is unlucky, you and I just have to watch the play......"

There are many places in the streets and alleys where such voices are spreading, and I am afraid that it will not be long before the rumors become a prairie fire.

The editorial department of Puhua Town also felt the inexplicable pressure.

Not only are there more and more mysterious people wandering around the newspaper office, but the shopkeepers of several printing shops have also stopped their cooperation at this moment. Fortunately, Xiao Jing had already given the bulk of the printing task to his own workshop, otherwise the Mirror would not even be able to publish on time these days.

Today's newspaper office is empty, because everyone went to Xia Fu.

The atmosphere in the hall was a bit dreary. Xia Hanxue was sitting on the top, her eyes slowly sweeping over her colleagues with different expressions.

Paper can't hold the fire. No matter how others concealed it, she still knew about Xiao Jing's situation from her own channels.

Surprisingly, she was not worried or panicked when she was pregnant. She seemed extremely calm, at least on the surface, there was nothing out of the ordinary, even today's special meeting was called by her.

After a while, she finally opened her lips lightly and said, "I invited everyone here today to discuss, what can we do for my husband?" ”
