"The second young master has been arrested." Zhou Xing said depressedly.

Qiao Mo suddenly sighed in surprise and asked, "What's going on?" ”

This is the second time I've been arrested, how long has it been since the last time I was in a water prison?

Zhou Xing said depressedly: "Didn't someone come to grab the rice just now?" We were unguarded and were squeezed into the crowd. At that time, the second young master and I were separated. The second young master was squeezed to the innermost part, and then the people from the government came, and the rice grabbers dispersed. Those officials didn't catch the young laborers who grabbed rice, so they arrested the second young master to make up the numbers. ”

Qiao Mo hurriedly said: "Huh? Then let's hurry up and rescue the second young master." "This Zhu Gaoxu is a golden body, but there must not be any mistakes.

However, Zhou Xing said confidently: "Don't worry, for the time being, the second young master will not have any problems." Nor can we act rashly. ”

Qiao Mo said: "How do you say this? ”

Zhou Xing analyzed: "Now we are facing two problems, the first is Jinyiwei. We don't know if Jin Yiwei is in Yangwu now, how they have investigated the corruption cases here. Second, we can't be sure who put us in the water prison the other day, and who are still not with us. Now we are in the open, but the enemy is in the dark, the so-called open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to defend, so we need to be more careful. The second young master was arrested and sent to the official mansion, and with a few of us, even if it was a prison robbery, there would not be enough manpower. ”

"So what should we do now, according to you?" Although Qiao Mo and the others are masters of Ouchi, Zhou Xing is a think tank, and when they encounter such a matter that requires brains, they still have to hand it over to Zhou Xing.

Zhou Xing touched his chin and thought: "Let's rob the prison, there are not enough people, maybe we will be killed by mistake by Jinyiwei." But let's not go into prison and take a look, and we don't feel at ease. ”

Qiao Mo said: "Isn't it, the second young master is still locked up, if he is tortured, or he is soaked in water prison like last time, then when we return to the capital, we will all be finished." ”

After all, didn't they come out to protect Zhu Gaoxu's safety? Now if Zhu Gaoxu has three long and two short, can they please him?

Zhou Xing said: "I have to find someone to go in and have a look." ”

Jomo asked, "Shall we use the silver?" ”

"Something, don't you have to reveal your identity? If only I could blend in. Zhou Xing said.

can sneak into the prison, not only can you see that Zhu Gaoxu is not safe, but also can warn this kid not to mess around. He was the son of the prince before, when did he have the experience of squatting in prison? If you get into a hurry and make something big, it's all over. Now Zhou Xing knows with his ass that there are I don't know how many eyes are staring at Zhu Di's family, just waiting to find out Zhu Di's fault and prevent him from competing for the position of heir.

When the time comes, others will report that Zhu Gaoxu is disturbing the security of the prison? Fooling around in the affected areas?

Isn't that a cheat?

"In this way, I will find a way to get a set of official uniforms, you wait for me in the inn first, I will go to the prison to take a look and come out, and then discuss how to solve this matter." Zhou Xing finally said.

Qiao Mo said: "It's too dangerous for you to go, so I'd better go." Anyway, I have a bit of three-legged cat kung fu, and I can still run when I am discovered. Maybe I can bring the second young master out. ”

In fact, Zhou Xing didn't want to take risks by himself, he was just polite, since Qiao Mo wanted to grab this errand, he didn't say a word and gave it up.

"We have to think about the long term about bringing the second young master out, but if you go and take a look, I don't think there's any problem. Remember, you have to pretend to be an official and get in, and you must not show your stuff, if this thing is messed up, I can't help you. ”

Qiao Mo said proudly: "You can rest assured of this, I have been a bastard for decades, and I have never done anything bad." ”

"Okay, just go ahead. I'll go back to the inn first, and you can go and come out. ”

At that moment, the two separated, Qiao Mo went to find a way to pretend to be an official, while Zhou Xing went back to the inn and waited for news with the other three masters.

"How did you get back? What about the eldest brother and the second young master? A man named Qiao Ming asked.

It's also really interesting to name the four Ouchi masters. One is called Qiao Mo, one is called Qiao Ming, one is called Qiao Qi, and the other is called Qiao Miao. Taken together, it's just inexplicable.

Seeing Zhou Xing coming back, the three of them asked. Along the way, Zhou Xing has never left the second young master, why did he come back alone at this time?

Zhou Xing made a cup of tea for himself, just sat down, and said, "There was a riot on the street just now, and the second young master was arrested as a mob. Jomo said that he was going to disguise himself and go to the prison to have a look. ”

Hearing that Zhu Gaoxu was arrested, the three of them all showed unbelievable expressions on their faces. Georgette said: "How can this be? The second young master is the son of King Yan, and they dare to catch it casually? ”

Qiao Miao echoed: "Yes, the officials here have eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, and they don't dare to do this, right?" ”

Zhou Xingdao: "You don't know the mystery of this, the relationship here is very chaotic, let's just tell you, if the second young master says his name today, we can go to prepare tomorrow morning to go to Jiangxin to salvage the body of the second son." ”

Qiao Ming said incredulously: "Is it so exaggerated? ”

Zhou Xing said: "Absolutely." Alright, let's not discuss it here, beware of the wall with ears. Let's wait for Jomo to come back and discuss it. ”

Yangwu Yamen, a team of brocade guards, riding a high-headed horse, came from a distance. The yamen was wide open, and the officials of Yangwu were lined up one by one to welcome the arrival of the Jinyi guards.

The magistrate of Yangwu County, named Nan Dongtian, is 56 years old this year. He was originally a jinshi in the eighteenth year of Hongwu, but five years passed after the examination, and in the twenty-third year of Hongwu, he was regarded as a candidate for the post of magistrate of Yangwu County. In terms of his age, it is estimated that he will also sit in this position.

In the first month of the thirteenth year of Wu, Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, issued an edict that "civil and military officials over 60 years old should listen to Zhishi." In other words, this Nan Dongtian, at most, will work for another four years, and he may receive the documents sent by the above at any time to ask him to be a minister.

I have been tested for a lifetime, just for the scenery of the past few years.

Today, when he learned of Jinyiwei's visit, Nan Dongtian led his officials at all levels to wait there early. As soon as he saw Jinyiwei's people coming, Nan Dongtian hurriedly greeted him.

"It's been a long journey."

The Jinyiwei who investigated the case this time was Zhang Yang of the Jinqianhu household, a senior official of the fifth grade, four levels higher than the magistrate of the seventh grade of Nandongtian.

Zhang Yang jumped lightly, got off the tall horse, helped Nan Dongtian and said, "Nan Daren doesn't have to be polite. I have been ordered to investigate the case, and I am afraid that I will have to disturb it for some time. ”

Nan Dongtian hurriedly said: "If you can come to Yangwu, the entire Yangwu County will be honored, so why bother?" Come in. ”

Zhang Yang led people into the yamen, and Nan Dongtian immediately ordered the door to be closed.

In the lobby, everyone sat down. Zhang Yang said in an official tone: "Nan Dongtian." ”

Nan Dongtian hurriedly bent down and bowed his hands, and said, "The lower official is here." ”

Zhang Yang raised his eyebrows, took a freshly brewed cup of tea, took a sip of tea, and asked casually: "The imperial court received a report from someone that you, Yangwu County, were greedy for disaster relief money, but is there such a thing?" ”

When Nan Dongtian heard this, he immediately knelt on his knees and said, "Master Qincha, don't listen to their nonsense." Since the emperor ascended the throne, our dynasty has made great efforts to govern the country, and the rewards and punishments are clear, so in such a peaceful and prosperous world, how can the lower officials do such a corrupt and bribe-taking thing? Besides, now that the court is strictly governed, and the lower officials can be regarded as reading the books of sages, how can they do the things that know the law and break the law? ”

Zhang Yang was basically satisfied with Nan Dongtian's answer, and then asked: "Then tell me, what is the use of those tens of thousands of taels of disaster relief silver?" ”

Nan Dongtian hurriedly replied: "I have bought food and distributed it to the victims." ”

"Really?" Zhang Yang asked casually.

Nan Dongtian swore and said: "It's absolutely true, don't believe it, ask them." ”

He pointed to several of his officers.

The officials nodded like garlic: "Yes, yes, that's it, they all bought food and distributed it to the victims." ”

Zhang Yang said: "If that's the case, then it's best." He stood up and said, "In this case, the case has been clarified, but it is nothing, and I will report it to the emperor." ”

At this time, a small official ran in in a panic, knelt down as soon as he entered the door, and stammered: "My lord, something is wrong, someone has robbed ...... prison."

Nan Dongtian stood up suddenly, looked shocked, and said, "What? ”

Nan Dongtian was trembling with anger, looking at the little official kneeling on the ground, and wanted to kick him out with one kick, when he had never come.

Lao Tzu is entertaining Jinyi Guard here, you ran in and told me that someone robbed the prison? What are you not doing me for? Even if the sky falls, wouldn't it be good for you to report back when the Jinyi Wei boss is gone?

However, it was too late to say this, and Zhang Yang had already listened to this word for word.

Thinking of Jin Yiwei's cruel methods, Nan Dongtian's face suddenly turned pale, and he felt that the sky was about to fall.

Zhang Yang said lightly: "What happened?" ”

Nan Dongtian hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's just that there are a few Diao people making trouble, and the next official will deal with it immediately." Please sit down for a while. ”

"Well, go ahead." Zhang Yang waved his hand and said generously.

Nan Dongtian didn't dare to stay, took the county Cheng, hurriedly left the yamen, and went to the prison.

"My lord, Lord Qincha's side won't pursue the matter of robbing the prison, will it?" After walking a few steps, the county asked worriedly.

Nan Dongtian said with a sad face: "How do I know? I hope all the money is in place. I was scared out of that soul just now. That thing that doesn't have eyes, when this thing is over, you have to teach him a good lesson. ”

Then, he said viciously: "Hmph, I have to find a master for this matter, I want to see if this group of Diao people can still turn against the sky." ”
