"By the way, Zhuge Hanqing, I was arrested because I didn't pay my debts, what are you for? How could someone as resourceful as you be caught in this pickled land? Puyang Gu Sheng put the jade pendant back on his neck and hid it under his clothes.

Since I have already told him just now that I am Uncle Duanmu's righteous son, I can only continue to cover it up. After all, once your true identity is revealed, it is very likely that you will be ridiculed by others as a psychopath.

"Brother Puyang, do you know, when I was very young, my stepmother was taken captive by the younger brother of the county, and there has been no news so far, my grandfather and grandmother died of depression, and my stepfather left the county with hatred and lived on the sea. Now that I'm an adult, the county fears that I'll retaliate against them, so they make a random excuse and arrest me. Zhuge Hanqing said with grief and indignation, "Originally, we were about to forget about this matter, but now they still don't let us go, hum!" New wounds and old revenge will not be avenged, and swear not to be a man! ”

Puyang Gu Sheng heard Zhuge Hanqing's words, and the more he listened, the more he felt indignant for him, and the green tendons on his neck swelled unconsciously, "Hmph, mother!" Where are the people of the county government who are good officials who seek the well-being of the people, they are simply sheep in wolf's clothing, no, hungry tigers in wolf's clothing! If the current king restores the reputation of my Puyang family, and I inherit the marquis, I will definitely clean up these well, the great evil officials who eat vegetarian meals and eat people without blinking! ”

The more Puyang Gu Sheng spoke, the more angry he became, and as soon as his words fell, he gasped for anger and paced back and forth quickly in the prison.

"Brother Puyang, don't get involved in my grievances, after all, behind these corrupt officials and evil officials, there are many people who can't be easily offended." Zhuge Hanqing looked at the black hole on the wall and said very worriedly.

"Hey! These dog officials, let them live happily for a few days first, and wait for me to soar one day, and have their good fruits to eat! Puyang Gu Sheng sighed and scolded complainingly.

The more he pondered the tragic experience of Zhuge Hanqing's family, the more indignant Puyang Gu Sheng became, and in addition to being indignant, he felt a little worried.

After a while, Puyang Gu Sheng stood up from the straw pile, and suddenly said to the black hole on the wall: "Brother Zhuge , we can't sit here and wait for death, in case they deliberately put any trumped-up charges on us for what merit, then wouldn't we have repented of our intestines, and we have to quickly think of a way to save ourselves." You are rich and talented, so you might as well think about it. ”

After Zhuge Hanqing heard his words, he did not answer in time, but stared at the small iron window of the prison. Puyang Gu Sheng saw him and knew that he was thinking hard, so he didn't continue to urge him, but looked at him quietly through the black hole on the wall. After a moment, he noticed that the other party's eyebrows were suddenly slightly open.

"Well, is there a way?" Puyang Gu Sheng asked a little anxiously.

"That's right, I did think of a plan below." Zhuge Hanqing turned sideways and looked at the black hole on the wall.

"Brother Zhuge , whisper it and let me hear it." Puyang Gu Sheng couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and his voice trembled a little.

"Now that the war between Jimo and Weiyang is imminent, my Yuhua Kingdom is close to these two countries, so it will become extremely sensitive at the moment. When I was arrested, their reasoning was that a war in a neighboring country was imminent, and strangers to and from every county and continent would be arrested and interrogated. If they have put me in prison on this trumped-up charge, why can't I just follow the trend? After all, they have just learned that I am Uncle Duanmu's righteous son recently, and they don't know what I used to do. Zhuge Hanqing's eyes were slightly cold, and although his tone was small, he was full of a confidence that was difficult to describe.

Puyang Gu Sheng suddenly had doubts, he didn't understand, Zhuge Hanqing had lived in Duanmu's house for so long, didn't the people in the county government find out about his existence?

"You said what you did before, they don't know, how can you be so sure? What if they knew about your existence all along, and deliberately pretended not to know? Puyang Gu Sheng let out everyone's natural doubts.

"In order to cover my identity, Uncle Duanmu kept me in foster care with distant cousins in the county until I grew up and was not allowed to come back."

"I see." Puyang Gu Sheng bowed slightly, and the doubts in his heart were finally answered, "By the way, then how are you going to take advantage of the trend?" ”

"I pretended to be an inspector sent by the imperial court."

"Inspector of the Ministry of Officials? Why haven't you heard of this position? ”

"Now is a critical and sensitive period, and the official inspectors are specially sent down to secretly search for talented people for the imperial court, so few people know about the existence of this position."

When Puyang Gu Sheng heard that he dared to pretend to be such an official position, a burst of fear came straight to his heart.

"You said that you were an official inspector for no reason, will they easily believe it?" Puyang Gu Sheng lowered his voice and said with doubts.

"Let me ask you today, what do court officials generally rely on to show their identity when they are out?" Zhuge Hanqing asked tentatively.

"Generally speaking, some use tokens, and some use jade." Puyang Gu Sheng thought for a moment and replied.

"That's going to be easy."

"You have a token?"

"Where do I have it?"

"Jade?"

"Jade is indeed there."

"You also have jade, show it to me, what is it like?"

"Not on me."

"It's not you, so where?"

Zhuge Hanqing didn't respond, just meaningfully stared through the black hole and stared at another round and rough face in the opposite cell.

"You don't have any crooked thoughts about my ancestral heirloom, do you?" Puyang Gu Sheng subconsciously covered the jade on his chest with his right hand.

"If we don't try to save ourselves, in case the Jimo Kingdom and the Weiyang Kingdom lead the war to the Yuhua Kingdom under our feet, we criminals are very likely to be pushed to the forefront of the war, do you want to die so worthless?" Zhuge Hanqing asked vigilantly.

"......" Puyang Gu Sheng lowered his head and fell into deep thought, and after a moment, he raised his head again, "Okay then, then how are you going to use this jade pendant?" ”

"It's very simple, engrave the four words 'patrol envoy' on the back of the jade pendant, so that the front of the orthography is kept for you, and the back word can also play a role." Zhuge Hanqing turned sideways and looked up at the small iron window in the cage again.

"Hey, why didn't I think of it..."Puyang Gu Sheng lowered his head and sighed, and then raised his head again, "It just so happens that when I was a child, my father taught me to carve seals, you wait a while, I will be able to carve it right away." ”

As soon as Puyang Gu Sheng's words fell, through the hole in the wall, Zhuge Hanqing vaguely heard the sound of a knife carving stones, he suddenly remembered something, and immediately picked up the paper and pen from the ground.

After a long time, Zhuge Hanqing heard the other party's shouts again.

"Brother Zhuge , Brother Zhuge , I have engraved it, how about you take it and see it?" Puyang Gu Sheng shouted the other party's name while handing the jade pendant out of the hole in the wall.

"Well, that's good." Zhuge Hanqing took the jade pendant, and after looking at it carefully, he bowed his head slightly, although the carving on it was not an ancient Chinese character, it was the font of the planet, but he could easily identify it, "By the way, the information I made up has also been written." ”

"Later, shall we show them these two things directly?" Puyang Gu Sheng didn't understand the specific steps to follow, after all, he had never pretended to be anyone, let alone an official of the imperial court.

"That's nature, if we don't show them, how can we be released." Zhuge Hanqing replied very calmly.

"Yes, yes, it's us, it's not just about saving yourself!" Puyang Gu Sheng only then cared about whether he had been deceived.

"Brother Zhuge , then I... Did you call the jailer in? Puyang Gu Sheng was a little weak-hearted, and the chic and arrogant masculinity of the past was almost gone at this time.

"I'm better suited for this."

"Well, that's good."

Immediately, Zhuge Hanqing shouted out to the jailers outside with all his might, and sure enough, a jailer was alarmed and walked in.

"I said you little white face, what are you shouting, have you written your own guilt?" The jailer shouted at Zhuge Hanqing when he raised his throat, and the black mole at the corner of his mouth kept twitching.

"Official, Xiaosheng's guilt has been written, please take a look." Zhuge Hanqing handed the yellowed paper in his hand to the other party.

The jailer took the prisoner's words and glanced at them casually, and at this glance, his arrogant and domineering expression suddenly disappeared, replaced by endless caution and questioning.

Without much of a word, the jailer said, "Wait a minute, I'll leave it to our team leader," turned around and left.

"Brother Zhuge , what exactly are you writing on the paper, I see that the jailer's face has changed and changed?" Puyang Gu Sheng came to the wall hole and asked in surprise.

"It's nothing, it's just some high-sounding words, like the advice of some kings before we and the other envoys leave." Zhuge Hanqing said casually as if he didn't care about himself.

"What? The king's prominence words, you dare to write this?! Boom! When Puyang Gu Sheng heard this, a fine cold sweat broke out on his frightened forehead.

A scholar of Wen Ruo, he is so bold, every move is a great crime of rebellion against the Nine Clans, no, in case of danger, I have to clear up the relationship with him...... Puyang Gu Sheng slowly sat down in the straw and fell into his own contemplation.

After a while, a middle-aged man dressed as a team leader, supported by a group of jailers, walked in and came to the door of their cell.

"This son, aren't you the righteous son of Duanmu Hua'an? Why do you say here that you are the special envoy of the current king, do you know that pretending to be an envoy is a great crime of rebellion to destroy the nine clans, and then, if you can't take out a token that can prove your identity, then don't blame Ben Ya for arraigning you according to law! The head of the team said in a bell-like voice, and the words were frustrated.

After the other party spoke, Zhuge Hanqing unhurriedly took off a piece of jade pendant from his waist and handed it to the other party.

The head of the team has been in the government for many years, what kind of jade treasures, even if he has not touched it, he has seen a lot, because there are many foreign officials who come here to play or run errands, and often show their personal jade pendant in front of the county to show their identity, even the jade pendant of the county Cheng, he has also secretly played with it many times. At that moment, he stared at the font on the jade, feeling the texture and color of the jade, and his heart was not surprised.

"It turns out that Your Excellency is really an inspector of the Ministry of Officials, and I am here to make amends." A smile appeared on the face of the team leader, and he bowed slightly, crossed his palms on top of each other, and placed his thumbs vertically on his chest five inches.

As soon as Zhuge Hanqing looked at the other party's behavior, he knew that this was the basic etiquette between the lords and servants of Yuhua Kingdom.

"After all, we inspect the envoys, and we have the mission of the king, so we can't do things publicly, so I lied that I was the righteous son of Duanmu Hua'an, so as to cover up my identity, so that I can rest assured that I can look for talented people in this area and prepare them for the society." Zhuge Hanqing took out a raised but not sharp tone and said calmly.

"Your Excellency, what you said is reasonable, it is me who is a small official, who has no eyes and no beads, and I hope I don't blame you by mistake." The team leader's body bowed deeper, and he didn't forget to give the jailer next to him a look.

The jailer beside him immediately understood, quickly removed the key to the cell door from his waist, and opened the cell door.

"Your Excellency, I will take you to meet our county magistrate, and we will do our best to entertain you as a landlord." The team leader straightened up slightly and smiled respectfully.
