That night, Xu Songwen returned to the county office early with the grain collection team.

The place where he lives is in the northeast corner of the county office, and the courtyard where Zhang Xiang lives is in the northwest corner, with a county government in between, so he and Zhang Xiang don't usually see each other.

As usual, there are very few people who come to donate grain today, and it is a blessing to receive one or two loads a day, and to this day, less than 1,000 stone of grain has been received in Rong County, which is still far from 2,000 stone.

And in less than half a month, the team of the imperial court escorting grain and grass will come to collect grain.

But Xu Songwen didn't panic at all, but felt moisturized every day.

Maybe he was a little panicked at first, but after this colt came to Rong County to take over the grain collection affairs, he really didn't panic at all.

If the grain requisition affairs are not completed, the court will ask for the guilt, and there will be the prefect above, the prefect will ask for the guilt, and there will be the people of Rong County below, and all the pots will be thrown to these people, even if he carries it, he can't carry much.

Now it's even better, the pot is all thrown on the back of this horse, and he doesn't have to worry (cāo) anymore.

He is just a little anxious these days, the source of this anxiety comes from Shi Meng being caught by the horse, he has secretly scolded this Shi Meng these days, and even scolded his father Shi Liangyu to the eighteenth generation of his ancestors.

These two pig teammates, father and son, obviously have a bright future, but at this juncture they are looking for trouble (qíng), what kind of woman is not good, and they actually hit the idea on the slave maid (shēn) of the horse, isn't this looking for death?

can be scolded and scolded, now that his lips are dead and his teeth are cold, if Shi Meng's father and son are finished, he will also suffer, so after thinking about it again and again these days, he still decided to take a risk.

After returning to the residence to rest for a while, when it was a little late, Xu Songwen asked people to call the head catcher of the county government.

"Luo Zhutou, Peng Zhixian Ming (rì) wants to interrogate the prisoner Shi Meng, you take a few people and follow me to the prison to see if this Shi Meng is in good condition? This Shi Meng is very important, but nothing can go wrong, I will personally go and inspect the prison conditions. Xu Songwen said majestically to this Luo Zhutou.

Luo Zhutou hesitated a little: "But Lord Xu, didn't the horse order!" Without his permission, no one was allowed to approach Shi Meng, and Peng Zhixian did not dare to go to the prison without permission..."

Xu Songwen looked unhappy: "The horse is just a scattered person who is instructed by the court to assist the government to collect grain, in this Rong County, the real grain collector is still me, if I am interested, the horse will also follow my advice, I see that he is a relative of the emperor, so he respects him, I told him about this kind of trivial matter, how can he not agree?" I'm just going to inspect the prison to see what the condition of this Shimeng is, so there's no need to trouble the donkey for such a trivial matter, if you have any doubts, do you need me to ask the donkey? ”

In the end, this Xu Songwen put on an official posture, and his tone was much heavier.

This Luo Zhutou hurriedly bowed his head: "No, no, no, you don't need to ask for instructions, if Lord Xu wants to go, his subordinates will go and bring someone to go with him." ”

To put it bluntly, there is no real power in the (shēn) share, and no matter what, it can't help these magistrates to become officials.

But Lord Xu is different, the five-grade official, in this mansion, in addition to the prefect, is the biggest official, if the magistrate wants to be promoted, he still needs these powerful officials.

How to choose between these, this Luo catcher can still weigh it clearly.

After a while, Luo Zhutou called three arresters and followed Xu Songwen to the prison.

At this time, it was past midnight, and it was already the dead of night, and it was time for the county government prison to take shifts.

The two jailers who had just been replaced to guard the gate saw that it was Lord Xu, so they hurriedly saluted, and when they learned that Lord Xu was going to visit the prisoner, they didn't think too much about it and let them in.

It's just that not long after Xu Songwen walked in, a black shadow quickly swept by, and hit the necks of the two jailers with two 'snaps', and the two jailers fainted before they could react.

Then the shadow also escaped into the prison.

He was kept in the depths of the prison by Shi Meng, and there were two jailers guarding it.

When Xu Songwen walked all the way to the door where Shi Meng was being held, the two specially guarded jailers also stood up (shēn).

Xu Songwen said lightly: "Open the door." ”

"This—" The two jailers were puzzled, and asked him, "Do you have a warrant for the visitation of the horses?" ”

"This official is coming to inspect the prison, do you still need a warrant for the visitation of the horse?" Xu Songwen snorted coldly, and seeing that the two of them were indifferent, he accentuated his tone again: "Don't you understand what I said?" Open the door. ”

The two jailers looked at each other in embarrassment, one of them gritted his teeth, and hurriedly bowed (shēn) and saluted: "Lord Xu, without the visiting warrant of the concubine, no one is allowed to approach Shi Meng, the concubine has commanded, even Lord Xu and Master Peng, please forgive the villain for not opening the door for the adult." ”

"Yo, my wings are so stiff, I don't listen to anything." Xu Songwen's face was ugly.

The two jailers were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The adults spare their lives, but the little ones are also acting according to orders, and please don't embarrass the villain, if the adults really want to visit Shi Meng, please also get the visiting warrant from the horses." ”

Xu Songwen suddenly kicked over, and said angrily: "This official has to go in today, I see how you stop me, someone is coming..."

Then, Luo Zhutou behind him (shēn) hurriedly stepped forward.

Xu Songwen waved his hand: "Search out their keys." ”

"My lord, Luo Zhutou, please don't embarrass the villain." The kicked man got up, kowtowed heavily, and then protected the key that hung from his waist.

Luo Zhutou Zhuan (shēn) glanced at Xu Songwen.

Xu Songwen also glared at him: "What are you doing in a daze?" Do you need me to teach you how to do this? ”

"Yes, sir." Luo Zhutou gritted his teeth, and then pulled out the knife at his waist, but he didn't want to kill the two jailers, but just struck them on their (xué) positions with the back of the knife, causing them to fall unconscious.

Searching for the key to them (shēn), Luo Zhutou opened the cell door.

When Xu Songwen walked over, he glanced at the two jailers lightly, and snorted: "I don't know what the sky is high and the earth is thick." ”

Then Zhuan (shēn) said to Luo Zhutou and the three catchers: "Go and wait for me outside, stay outside the door, and no one will come in without my order." ”

Na Luo was helpless, so he had to go out with three quick catches (shēn).

Xu Songwen took the key and came all the way to Shi Meng's cell.

As if hearing the shaking of the key, the unkempt Shi Meng got up from the ground, and when he saw that it was Lord Xu who was coming, his excited heart (qíng) was self-evident, and he quickly crawled over and grabbed the cell door: "My lord, are you here to save me?" Get me out of here, sir, I've had enough of this place. ”

These (rì) children, because they have enough food, this Shi Meng's spirit has also recovered well, and this will turn the brain faster (tǐng).

Xu Songwen looked at him indifferently, and did not open the door immediately, but squatted down (shēn), and said in a low voice in front of him: "You dog thing, you just don't know what to do, do you know, you have ruined my big thing?" ”

Seeing the murderous intent in Xu Songwen's eyes, Shi Meng, who was originally extremely happy, suddenly took a few steps back in fright, and kept kowtowing to him: "My lord, spare my life, my lord, I am wrong, I beg you to spare my life, I will not dare next time." ”

At this time, Xu Songwen had already opened the cell door and walked in, and when he saw this Shi Meng, he was furious, and slapped Shi Meng in the face heavily, almost fanning his teeth out: "There is another time?" I tell you, if it weren't for your father's sake, I'd have killed you right now. ”

"My lord spares his life... Adults spare their lives. Shi Meng got up and kept kowtowing.

"Hmph" Xu Songwen stood up, seeing such a Shimeng, he couldn't let out his anger, knowing that he couldn't stay here for a long time, so he asked him: "It's okay if you want me to save you, but you have to answer my question honestly, let me ask you, you have been arrested for so long, has that colt come to see you?" ”

Shi Meng thought for a moment and nodded violently: "I've been here once." ”

"What did he ask you?" Xu Songwen's heart tightened.

"He asked me, what does my father want to do after receiving so much grain from the people of Rong County?" Shi Meng replied without hesitation.

"And what did you say?" Xu Songwen's eyes have burst out of murder.

Shi Meng hurriedly said: "I said I don't know, I really don't know anything, I didn't say anything." ”

"Really?" Xu Songwen didn't believe it at all, his eyes were aggressive, and he also knew that this guy was afraid of death's urine (xìng).

But how did Xu Songwen know that Shi Meng knew that if he admitted the situation in front of him (qíng), he would die faster, so he nodded heavily: "My lord, please believe me, I didn't say anything, I really didn't say anything, he just beat me up, and then left, I didn't tell him anything, please believe me." ”

Seeing Xu Songwen's face silent, Shi Meng hurriedly swore: "Lord Xu, what I said is absolutely true, if there is half a lie, it will be thundered by the sky, and it will not be a good death, please believe me and save me." ”

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Songwen turned (shēn) and said, "Let me believe you once, if I know that you lied to me, I won't be able to spare you, get up and follow me." ”

Shi Meng hurriedly got up and followed him.

The two of them made their way through the corridor of the cell, and then returned to the corridor where the two jailers had been stunned.

He glanced at the two jailers, then bent down (shēn), drew their sabers and handed them to Shimon: "Kill them." ”

"Huh...?" Shi Meng's legs were weak, his heart was spurting, and he almost didn't collapse to the ground.

Xu Songwen threw the knife in front of him and said sharply: "If you don't kill them, I will kill you, you choose one." ”

"I... My lord" Shi Meng was so frightened that he knelt on the ground: "My lord, although I am a bastard, I have never killed anyone, my lord, you spare me, I dare not kill anyone." ”

"Waste." Xu Songwen was so angry that he kicked over, and said viciously: "Then I'll teach you to kill now, wipe their necks with a knife, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, if you don't do it, I'll kill you." ”

"I... I—" Shi Meng kept shaking, a handful of snot and tears, and his whole (shēn) son was trembling, and he picked up the knife on the ground, and after shaking it for a while, there was actually a slight (sāo) smell of liquid flowing from the corners of his legs.

This guy was directly scared to pee.

"Ahh

It's just that at this moment, a ghostly (shēn) shadow came out of the darkness like a ghost, and the 'sudden 'sudden' hit Shi Meng and Xu Songwen's (xué) path, making the two of them unable to move.

The black shadow wore a mask, slapped Shi Meng's knife on the ground, and stood in front of Xu Songwen, his deep pupils were like a wave of ancient wells, staring at Xu Songwen's eyes, Xu Songwen only felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his heart was terrified.

The black shadow's voice was cold: "I still want to kill people and kill people, if it is normal, I will break you into ten thousand pieces." ”

After speaking, this black shadow didn't give Xu Songwen time to react at all, and directly knocked him and Shi Meng unconscious, and then carried it on his shoulder.

Outside the prison, Luo Zhutou and Zhukuai were checking on the two jailers who had fainted on the ground guarding the prison door, when they suddenly heard a 'crackling' sound from inside the cell, as if something was banging violently on the cell door.

Luo Zhutou's heart tightened, and he said to the two catchers: "Follow me." ”

When Luo Zhutou ran in, the black shadow came out with Xu Songwen and Shi Meng on his shoulder, and disappeared into the darkness in a few quick steps.

After a while, Luo Zhutou ran out of the prison in a panic: "Someone, someone..."

……

At this time, there was silence in the county office, and the candle lights in Zhang Xiang's house were still swaying gently.

Inside the room, Zhang Xiang sat at his desk, one hand gently tapping on the tabletop.

The little slave had already fallen asleep, and he didn't dare to knock too loudly, for fear of waking the girl up.

In the flickering candlelight, a figure suddenly flashed outside the window.

Zhang Xiang, who had been sitting for a long time, suddenly showed a smile on his face, then got up (shēn), gently opened the door and walked out.

一 (shēn) Yuan Shen in black stood in the silent courtyard outside the door.

Zhang Xiang smiled and said, "It's done?" ”

Yuan Shen nodded: "Everything goes well." ”

"Great." Zhang Xiang smiled slightly: "You tell me the place, and I will send someone to secretly detain him." ”

Yuan Shen's tone was a little curious: "I want to know, how did you know that someone was going to rob Shimeng?" ”

Zhang Xiang said slowly: "What's so difficult about this? As long as you calculate the other person's thoughts, you can take precautions in advance. ”

"And how did you do that?"

"This is not clear to you, you are much dumber than your junior sister, if it were her, you would have guessed how I calculated it."

"You're the first person to dare to scold me?"

"To call you stupid is to scold you?" Zhang Xiang pursed his lips and said loudly: "Heaven is fair, you have this (shēn) unparalleled martial arts, so be content!" My martial arts are so poor, don't you allow me to be so smart! ”

"How the hell did you do that?" Yuan Shen did not give up.

Zhang Xiang said directly: "I am a fortune teller." ”

Outside the courtyard at this time, the entire county government was already boiling.

The voices of 'Lord Xu is gone', 'Shi Meng has been robbed', 'Someone is coming' and 'Someone is coming' spread throughout the county office.

There was also a knock on the door of Zhang Xiang's courtyard.

Zhang Xiang said to Yuan Shen: "It's nothing for you now, you can leave first!" I've got to clean up the aftermath. ”。

After opening the door, Li Yanzhi whispered outside with a little panic: "Donkey, Shi Meng has been robbed, and Lord Xu is gone." ”

Zhang Xiangyun nodded lightly: "Let's go, go to the prison..."
