Chapter 377: The Net Opens Up
When he woke up, Xiao Jing found himself lying in a strange room.
His hands and feet were not tied. There was a guard at the door of the room, and the man didn't react anything special when he saw him sit up, but just signaled him with a fierce gaze not to run around, and that's it.
"This brother is invited." Xiao Jing hugged his fists and said, "Dare to ask where this is?" Shicai suddenly fainted under the ground, thinking that it was to save him under the hood, and he was really grateful. ”
Regardless of whether this guy is harming or saving people, it is not wrong to say a good word first, at least to make things clear.
The man glanced at him, but said nothing.
Xiao Jing tried to say something again, but the man was silent like a dumb person.
In desperation, he stepped down and walked to the door.
The guard hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his arms to stop him.
Xiao Jingqiang said with a smile: "Brother Tai, I am in a hurry to go out for a little relief, please make a convenient ......"
The guard snorted coldly and pointed to a bedpan beside the bed.
Xiao Jing had no choice but to reluctantly walk back.
Seemingly...... It's under house arrest.
Who is my captor? Could it be that someone brought him into the den of thieves?
His face was full of panic, but his heart kept thinking: if it goes on like this, he won't worry about his life for a while, but where is this place? From this point of view, it is a sure thing that there are ghosts in the col, but it is a pity that they were caught before they could get the evidence......
In the midst of his frustration, a servant brought him food, saying that it was for his dinner. Xiao Jing, who had been hungry for a day, was afraid that the other party would poison him, but he thought about it on the other hand: If people really want to poison him, just find two strong men to break their mouths and stuff poison into them, why do they have to be so fake?
So, he ate everything very barely. The meal was not bad with wine and meat, and it was more like a treat than a prison meal for the prisoners.
Xiao Jing was a little confused.
If you want to kill, you will kill, what is the matter with such a delicious food and drink?
The soldiers came to block the water and cover the earth, and he decided that he didn't want to do so much. After eating, he wiped his mouth and fell asleep, anyway, Lao Tzu can't run out, what do you like?
Because he was so tired these days, he slept until midnight. At the same time, the door creaked open, and a middle-aged man with a goatee walked in slowly.
The guards evoked Xiao Jing. President Xiao, who was a little angry about getting up, stared at him sideways, and said with a smile: "Tsk, it turns out that Your Excellency can speak?" ”
The man who had just entered the house suddenly laughed and said, "Is Childe comfortable living here?" There is nothing good to go in the small village in the mountains, if there is a place where the service is not good, please bear with the son. The contemptible surname is the king, if the son does not give up, call me the king to take charge. ”
Xiao Jing then went down to the ground and saluted: "Fortunately, fortunately." Dare to ask Steward Wang, did Xiao do anything inappropriate? I was attacked in the mountains, and as soon as I woke up, I was locked up here, and I couldn't get out if I wanted to, I don't know what it meant? ”
Steward Wang smiled and said, "Don't be annoyed, childe. My master can't bear to see you busy in Gaoluan County, sleeping in the open every day, so he made this decision to let you live and recuperate in this quiet place for a few days. cough, in fact, the contemptible people are not here to disturb people's dreams, but the master heard that the son has settled here, and sent me to send Mei Ji and the two to serve the pillow seat, and hope to smile. ”
As he spoke, he took a few steps to the side, and two young women with good looks entered the room and were blessed.
Xiao Jing was completely unmoved, and said lightly: "Your master's kindness Xiao has taken it personally, but I am not here to rest, let alone have fun." Just sleep, as long as you have a clear heart, you can sleep soundly and calmly like the sky and the earth, so why do you need others to serve?
Let's be honest, Xiao doesn't have much time to delay in Gaoluan County. I've always been straightforward, and if the king has something to say, he might as well say it clearly, so that everyone can save trouble. Dare to ask, is your master's surname Fang? ”
Steward Wang's eyes flashed. He waved his hand, and the two women turned and walked out of the room. After staring at Xiao Jing for a while, he sighed: "I heard that Xiao Gongzi's two ladies in the capital are beautiful and beautiful, it seems that this is true, no wonder you don't look down on the women in our small place." As for the master of the despicable...... Tell me first, why is there such a question? ”
That's to put the words out. Since the two sides have already checked each other's bottom clearly, there is no point in hiding it, and it doesn't hurt to open the skylight and say bright things.
Xiao Jing smiled and groaned: "Xiao lives quite comfortably in Gaoluan County. According to what he saw and heard, the local people all praised Lord Fang's wisdom, which showed that he was indeed a good official.
It's just that the county lord seems to be too strong. The positions of county officials, canonical history, and chief bookkeepers have long been in vain, and any government decree in the county can be decided by Lord Fang, and this matter can be known as long as you inquire at will.
Supposedly, there is nothing wrong with this, but if the others are all mediocre people, it is the best of both worlds. It's just that...... Xiao has touched some clues, and some people seem to be making small moves and doing things with a bad conscience. But this matter is not simple, if you can't cover the sky with one hand, no one can hide from the sky. After thinking about it, I can only put things on Lord Fang's head. ”
Steward Wang bowed his head and said, "My master is indeed a county honor. It's a pity that Childe made something out of nothing, and you haven't witnessed any evil things with your own eyes, why did you say it so decisively? Gaoluan County is only bright in broad daylight, and the son has just arrived, how can he make a presumptuous assertion based on a few days of visits? ”
Xiao Jing rolled his eyes. Lao Tzu wanted to grab the evidence, and his hands were on the edge of the truth, but he was knocked out by your people with a stick, and he checked the wool?
The other party's denial was expected by him, so he was not angry at all. After thinking about it for a while, he said again: "In this case, why did the county detain Xiao?" ”
Steward Wang said: "The county respects feathers very much. If Gongzi leaves Gaoluan County and says the rights and wrongs of the county in the newspaper without any basis, then I am afraid that the name of the county will not be preserved. It is precisely because you are a member of the Xia family that the county respects the net and deliberately leaves you to explain the reason. As long as things make sense, Childe can leave at any time, and no one in the county will stop him. ”
Xiao Jing "suddenly realized" and said: "I see. What if I'm not from the Xia family? Will the county lord definitely seek justice? ”
Steward Wang's eyes flashed with fierceness, which was regarded as approving his words.
In Xiao Jing's view, this so-called "justice" naturally makes people unable to leave Gaoluan County again.
He quickly put away his smile and said seriously: "If you want to be reasonable, how are you going to talk about it?" ”
Steward Wang smiled, reached out and took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, and poured a red pill into the palm of his hand.
