Guoan was holding a box of wine and food in one hand, and his pace was very slow, as if he was pondering something, and he was a little hesitant in his heart. Lian Junsheng was recommended by him to Guozhi, and Guozhi may think of him when he is unjustly imprisoned this time, so every time Guoan thinks of this matter, he is a little ashamed in his heart, and he is also a little afraid, what he is afraid of is that the two brothers will be estranged and complain to each other because of this incident. Guoan bowed his head and pondered all the way, but unconsciously walked to the gate of the governor's palace, and an official who guarded the prison took him to the prison. There were two jailers guarding the gate of the prison, and one of them stepped forward and looked at Guoan and said, "Who are you?" What are you doing here? ”

Guoan stepped forward slowly and said, "Master Jailer, in the next He family Guoan, come here to visit my younger brother Guozhi, please be accommodating." ”

"This person is a death row inmate, and he can't visit the prison, well," one of the jailers began to hesitate as he said this.

Guoan had been standing in front of the two of them and looked carefully, looking at the expressions of the two of them, he knew what was going on in the hearts of the two of them, took out two ingots of silver from his arms and stuffed them into the hands of the two jailers, and said, "Please also ask the jailer master to be more accommodating." ”

"Okay, you go in first, but there's a limited amount of time to visit the prison."

"Okay, I've made a note below," Guoan walked into the prison, hurriedly stepped forward, and said, "Brother." ”

At this time, Guozhi was sitting on the straw mat, as if he was pondering, when he heard someone shouting behind him, he turned around and said, "Brother." The cell boss standing next to him opened the cell door, and Guoan walked in. Guoan put the box aside, took out a few plates of good wine and food and put them on the table in front of the straw mat, and said, "This is what your sister-in-law made for you, and your favorite wine, hurry, hurry, come and taste it." Guozhi came over and said, "Big brother, you can drink a little with me." Guoji picked up the flask and poured it, then picked up the chopsticks and tasted a few bites. Guoan asked softly, "Is it delicious?" ”

Guozhi tasted it carefully, and then said: "Well, it's delicious, it's delicious, brother, you can eat a little too." ”

"Good, good," and drank the wine from the glass.

"Brother, how is my sister-in-law? I couldn't make it to your wedding. ”

"Okay," Guoan cried bitterly after drinking a glass of wine.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Guozhi looked at Guoan Dao with some puzzlement.

"Big brother I'm sorry for you, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect him, he...

"Brother, I don't blame you for this matter, this person is very scheming, it was my brother's negligence and misbelief that this person got to this point today, and I couldn't even see my brother at that time, let alone you? You are honest and honest, so be careful when you do things outside! At this time, Guozhi looked at Guoan with a worried look.

"But I, alas!"

"Alright, don't blame yourself, brother."

At this time, Guoan just nodded.

At midnight, a jailer walked in and said, "Criminal, it's time to eat," Ah San, who was sleeping on the straw mat, was woken up by the jailer, and saw the box of lunch that the jailer was carrying outside the cell door, and walked forward to take it, and put the lunch box on the desk, opened the lunch box, and there was a chicken, I didn't expect tonight's meal to be so rich, I looked at the prisoner who was sleeping on the side, and walked forward to wake up the cellmate, and said, "Uncle, come and see, there is still a chicken, come and eat together." ”

The cellmate stepped forward and sat down, looked at the chicken in the lunch box, sighed, shook his head, and said, "Ah San, this is a guillotine chicken, and it will go to the guillotine after eating." ”

After hearing this, Ah San was suddenly frightened, looked at his fellow inmates with dull eyes, and said, "Why? Then he ran to the cell door and shouted, "Oh my God! What kind of world is this! I was wronged, I didn't steal anyone's money, I didn't kill anyone, wronged! ”

"Don't shout, there are too many unjust ghosts in these years, there are not many of you, it may be that some high-ranking officials and nobles committed a capital crime and gave some money to the adult, as the saying goes, accept people's money to eliminate disasters for others to find a substitute for the dead ghost, you just accept your fate."

"No, no, I can't accept my fate, wronged, wronged, let me out, I want to go home," and then Ah San sat on the ground and cried bitterly, and the cellmate next to him said, "It's better to starve to death than to be full, little brother." ”

"Okay, okay, it's better to starve to death, I'll eat, eat," Ah San grabbed a chicken and stuffed it into his mouth, picked up the wine and poured it into his mouth, and then burped. After that, the two jailers walked in and said, "Ah San, it's time to send you on your way." ”

"No, no, I'm not going," Ah San struggled desperately, but was still caught by two jailers and escorted out of the cell. The two executioners stood on both sides and raised their big knives and said, "Ah San, don't worry, it's going to be soon, it won't hurt very much." I saw the big knife slashed down, and blood splattered.

At this moment, the master entered the governor's mansion. The Governor was still sitting in the lobby and asked, "Master, how are things going?" ”

"Everything is handled according to the wishes of the adults."

"Okay, I can tell the young master of the Lian family about this the next day."

Just these days, the sky is cloudy and rainy. Shunyi Gate hung mourning, a cry, came to worship the Bai family, the Rong family, Wuweitang and other martial arts seniors. At this time, they were suspicious of the death of Master Lu of Shunyimen, and they would never believe that this matter was the work of the country. Lu Kan, the eldest disciple of Shunyimen, invited the three masters of the Bai family, the Rong family, and Wuweitang to enter the inner hall, and then entered, and ordered his subordinates to serve tea. Master Rong looked at Lu Kan, who was sitting in front of him, and said, "Lu Kan, do you think this matter is really the work of the alliance leader?" ”

Lu Kan looked at their eyes full of doubts, and began to have trouble in his heart, and said slowly after a long time: "With the folding fan as evidence, who else can he have if this matter is not him?" ”

Master Rong still looked at Lu Kan, and paused for a while before saying: "I have three doubts about Master Lu's death, one of the doubts, I remember that it was raining heavily on the day Master Lu was killed, and the perpetrator still carried a folding fan before committing the murder, and also left his own evidence, do you think this is done by a normal person?" Suspicion 2, I remember that the leader of the alliance was arrested in the Qinglou, so you can think about it, what did a murderer do in the Qinglou after killing someone? Doubt three, who said that this matter was done by the alliance leader. ”

Lu Kan hesitated for a long time before saying, "It's Lian Junsheng, a disciple of Master He of the Shaolin Boxing Gym." ”

"Oh, you don't need to say it, even Junsheng and his own people know that if one person wants to harm another person, he can do whatever it takes."

After listening to Master Rong's analysis, Lu Kan said, "Could it be that we have wronged the alliance leader. ”

"Okay, I'll let you meet someone, and the truth will be revealed after seeing this person," at this time, a foreigner walked in, Lu Kan was taken aback when he walked in, and said, "It's a foreigner." ”

"This man is Brian, an Englishman whom my father met in his early years when he was doing business in Canton, and he was also a witness that night, so let him talk about it first, and everything will be understood."

Brian, an Englishman, walked in, looked up at Lu Kan in front of him, put one hand on his chest, lowered the other hand, and saluted him with the highest British etiquette, saying: "Hello, I am Brian, a citizen of the British Empire. ”

"Mr. Bu is polite, you can say it," Lu Kan replied with his hands arched over his chest.

"Well, before the incident, a person found me, he was Mr. Lian, Mr. Lian told me that his master, Mr. He, is proficient in Chinese culture, I like Chinese culture very much, I like it very much, because China is a country of etiquette, I like it very much, well, I like it very much, it just so happened that it was Mr. He's birthday that invited me, and I went to attend. We drank a lot of wine that night, Mr. He drank our wine, everyone was drunk, we were also drunk, Mr. Lian personally sent his master Mr. He away, all I know is this, I hope it can help you. ”

Master Rong stood up to face everyone and said, "All the people present were drunk, and it was Lian Junsheng who sent the alliance leader out, so Lian Junsheng was sober that day, and he was not drunk." ”

"It seems that we have really wronged the alliance leader, and tomorrow I will go to the governor's yamen to withdraw the lawsuit."

At dawn, Lu Kan went to the governor's yamen. At this time, a subordinate entered the governor's mansion and reported: "Master, Lu Kan from Shunyi Gate has come to ask for a meeting. When the Governor got up, his eyebrows tightened, and he said, "What is he doing here?" "The Governor stood in front of the big mirror and looked at himself in the mirror, thinking to himself, what is he doing here? Could it be to find out about the punishment of the young master of the He family? The Governor pondered for a long time, then turned to face his servant, and said, "Tell him to come to the inner hall to speak." ”

Lu Kan entered the inner hall and looked at the Governor sitting in the lobby, and saluted, "Your Excellency the Governor." ”

"Master Lu, please take a seat."

Lu Kan sat down at this time, and the Governor asked, "I don't know why Master Lu came this time?" ”

"Lord Governor, the leader of the alliance, Master He, was wronged, and the grass people came to withdraw the lawsuit this time."

"Okay, the official already knows about this matter, you can retreat first."

"Yes, the little one will retire," Lu Kan stood up and said, "I also ask the Governor to arrest the real culprit on the same day, so as to comfort the spirit of the teacher in heaven." The Governor only nodded, and did not respond. After Lu Kan walked out of the mansion, the governor called the master and asked, "The official is going to visit the second young master of the He family late this night, you go down and make arrangements." ”

"Yes, the small ones will go down and arrange them."

The bright moon hangs in the night sky, making this dark night especially bright. Under the moonlit night, two mysterious figures walked out of the door of the prison, and the two jailers blocked the two mysterious figures from the prison door, and said, "Who are the two of you?" Why are you here? ”

"Bold, Lord Governor, here you are blind."

The two jailers were immediately stunned, knelt down and said, "Your Excellency." ”

"Don't shout, Lord Governor, this is a secret visit, get out of the way," the two jailers stood up and stood on either side. The Governor and Master entered the cell, took off their black cloaks, and called the cell boss to open the cell door, and a foul smell came to his nose. The master stood up and said: "He Guozhi, the lord is here." Guozhi was still sitting on the straw mat, ignoring the governor next to him.

"He Guozhi, you are bold," the master was about to step forward and drag up Guozhi who was lying on the straw mat, and the governor behind him said, "You stand down." ”

"Yes, sir," the master said before he exited the prison door. After that, the Governor took a few steps forward and said, "Second Young Master, you have suffered. ”

Guozhi still ignored the Governor behind him, the Governor pondered for a while, raised his head, and said: "Guozhi, this official heard that you are a great filial son, it seems that you are just a hypocrite with a false name, do you ignore your mother and the grandmother who loves you the most?" They are waiting at home for you to come home and reunite with your family, and after repeated investigations, the facts of the case have become clear and clear, you have indeed been wronged, and you have caused trouble, this officer, this official apologizes to you, and now you can be released from prison. ”

Only then did Kokuji sit up and look up at the Governor who was standing in front of him. The Governor bowed and saluted, saying, "This official is confused, and he was almost wrongly convicted. ”

"Do you have fewer wrongful convictions? See for yourself. ”

"Yes, yes, what the young master taught me is that this official must be changed, and he must be changed."

"Do it yourself," Kuniji got up and walked out of the cell.
