Zhao Xin stood up "Teng", clenched his hands into fists, and sneered angrily: "Everything I have gained now is what I have fought with my life, and if I lose my life, I will lose my life if I throw it all away." Now let me let go of all this and hide, it would be better than a knife. ”

Dong Shizhen sighed, shook his head and said: "If you stay in Qingshan, you are not afraid of no firewood, Lord Zhao, save your life first, he will always have a chance to make a comeback one day." If you lose your life now, even if you have the opportunity to make a comeback, you Lord Zhao will not be blessed to enjoy it. ”

"What kind of opportunity is the opportunity that Master Dong is talking about?"

Dong Shizhen smiled incomprehensibly, "There are unpredictable circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck." As long as the situation changes, the people who shouldn't exist don't exist no longer exist, and everything will have opportunities. He waved his hand and said with a smile: "Lord Zhao, this is also Dong's regret that you can't display your talents, so he said a few more words." Whether it's right or not, Lord Zhao doesn't care about it. After speaking, he picked up the teacup and drank the tea calmly.

Zhao Xin groaned slightly, and was about to say something, when at this moment, a servant hurriedly came over to report: "My lord, someone has come to ask for a meeting." ”

"Who wants to see you so late?"

"Back to adults, it's a cheap and tall man."

Dong Shizhen frowned slightly, and whispered to himself: "It's so late, what is he doing here?" He commanded, "Let him come." ”

Zhao Xin had already gotten up and said goodbye: "Since Lord Zhizhou is very busy here, the lower officials will not bother much, please retire first." ”

Dong Shizhen said earnestly: "Lord Zhao, the deadline given to you by Chu Huan is still two days, think about it after you go back, if you plan to leave, it is better to prepare early." ”

Zhao Xin nodded, didn't say much, arched his hand and retreated.

Zhao Xin went out with his front foot, and Gao Lian had already come to the hall with his back foot, looking very flustered, and before he could greet Dong Shizhen, he had already turned around and beckoned: "Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry up." ”

He was followed by two tall, muscular retinues, carrying a box with a thick wooden stick.

Dong Shizhen sat still, still holding the teacup in his hand, squinting his little eyes and not speaking, Gao Lian had already stepped forward quickly, and said respectfully: "Disturb late at night, Lord Zhizhou is not strange, it is really urgent, I have to ask the adults for help." When he turned around, the two attendants had already carried the box to the hall, put it down, and waved his hand: "You two retreat first." ”

After waiting for the two entourages to retreat, Dong Shizhen put down the teacup in his hand, and asked slowly with doubts: "Master Gao, I don't know what to teach you when you come here late at night?" His eyes were already glancing at the box, and he said with a hint of surprise: "...... is this?" ”

Gao Lian had closed the door at this time, opened the box, the golden light was shining, Dong Shizhen frowned, his eyes crossed the light, flashed, he had already gotten up, and came to the side of the box, only to see that there were many rare treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings inside, and immediately smiled, and said with a solemn face: "Master Gao, it's not appropriate for you to do this, right?" ”

Gao Lian looked panicked, and his voice had changed tone, "Lord Zhizhou, no matter what, you have to help the villain once, people's lives are at stake, so you can only ask Lord Zhizhou for help." ”

Dong Shizhen said curiously: "Human life is a matter of heaven? Where does this begin? ”

Gao Lian's eyes were frightened, "It's a little dog, my lord, the little dog was just arrested by the officers and soldiers, and now it has been taken away, and its life and death are unknown......!" ”

Dong Shizhen was even more surprised: "Little dog? Is it Ling Lang? You mean Ling Lang was arrested? Master Gao, aren't you talking nonsense again? With a stunned face, he said: "The officers and soldiers arrested Ling Lang? How is this possible? This official didn't know anything in advance, and in Shuoquan City, who would dare to provoke Ling Lang easily? Didn't the bandits dress up as officers and soldiers and kidnap Ling Lang? ”

Gao Lian shook his head and said: "It is indeed an officer and soldier, not only a small dog, but also several people have been arrested by the Criminal Department." ”

"Why did you get involved with the Criminal Department again?" Dong Shizhen's little eyes suddenly widened, and her little soybean-like eyes were full of surprise, "Master Gao, you are confusing this official now, don't worry, the sky can't fall, what happened?" Who are the officers and soldiers you are talking about? ”

"Chu Huan, it's Chu Huan's person." Gao Lian was a little depressed.

"Chu Huan?" Dong Shizhen's brows tightened, and then he was a little suspicious: "How could Ling Lang be involved with Chu Huan?" Even if he Chu Huan is the governor, but he is not charged, how can he dare to arrest people easily? ”

Gao Lian smiled bitterly: "What happened is not clear at the moment...... Someone told me that the puppy kidnapped Chu Huan and was taken away by Chu Huan, but ...... How is this possible, even if the dog is a little willful, how can he kidnap a governor? My son, I understand, he would never do such a thing, Lord Zhizhou, there must be a big misunderstanding here, you must help me ......! Pointing to the box, "Here are some antique calligraphy and paintings, adults inquire about the situation, there are no less expenses, these things, adults temporarily accept, if the expenses are not enough, adults just speak." ”

Dong Shizhen said solemnly: "None of this matters, the key is Ling Lang's safety." Stretched out his hand and closed the box, then he lowered his voice and said, "Master Gao, if Ling Lang is really captured by Chu Huan, this matter will be a little tricky. ”

"Who's to say it's not." Gao Lian was so anxious that he stomped his feet, "The surname Chu has long looked at me unpleasantly, if he catches the handle on my side, he will definitely not give up." Now the little dog has been captured by him, and his life and death are unknown. ”

"This official just can't figure it out, where does this kidnapping of the governor begin?" Dong Shizhen was still puzzled, "Master Gao, this matter is a bit unbelievable, but you must know that if Ling Lang really committed such a big crime, but it fell into the hands of Chu Huan, it would be more than lucky." As you said, Chu Huan doesn't have a good impression of you foreign gentry, he colluded with the gang of people surnamed Xiguan Qi, and he was embarrassed, and if he caught your handle, he would definitely be ......killed! ”

"My lord, I still don't know what's going on here." Gao Lian said helplessly: "I only listened to the report of the subordinates, Chu Huan's soldiers rushed to the prison of the Criminal Department and took the little dog away, in addition to the small dog, several officials of the Criminal Department were arrested, and the Shen prison officer of the big prison was also arrested by Chu Huan's people. ”

Dong Shizhen's eyebrows tightened, he groaned slightly, went out, called a subordinate, whispered a few words, and the man took the order and left.

Gao Lian was so anxious that he scratched his ears and swept away, Dong Shizhen obviously felt that the situation was not good, and after a long time, there was a voice outside, Dong Shizhen went out for a while, and came back soon, looking at Gao Lian, Gao Lian looked at Dong Shizhen with a blank eye, and when he saw Dong Shizhen's grim expression, he suddenly felt a little bad in his heart, and said in a trembling voice: "Lord Zhizhou, what is it ...... What the hell is going on? ”

"Master Gao, it seems that the matter is serious." Dong Shizhen sighed: "Inquire about the news, Ling Lang...... Ling Lang really tied up Chu Huan, and almost tortured Chu Huan ......! ”

"Huh?" Gao Lian always only felt that this matter was just a misunderstanding, thinking that there was still room for maneuver, Dong Shizhen said this, he only felt dizzy, "Lord Zhizhou, this is ...... How is this possible? ”

"Ling Lang and Chu Huan had a conflict in a restaurant, and Ling Lang may not really know Chu Huan at that time." Dong Shizhen shook his head and sighed: "He suffered a loss in the restaurant, in order to vent his anger, he found a messenger from the Criminal Department to arrest Chu Huan back to the prison of the Criminal Department, Chu Huan's subordinates must be secretly protecting, not long after being caught in the prison, Xuanyuan Shengcai rushed to the Criminal Department with the people of the Guards, and Ling Lang is really in Chu Huan's hands now." ”

Gao Lian grew his mouth, only felt unbelievable, and soon his whole body softened, "That...... He ...... that little dog! ”

"The kidnapping of the Governor is a conspiracy." Dong Shizhen shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Master Gao, it's not that the official won't help you in this matter, if it's something else, the official may be able to say a few words for you, but...... Ling Lang directly offended Chu Huan this time, Chu Huan already has prejudices against your Gao family......! Frowning, he groaned slightly, and said solemnly: "Now it's not just Ling Lang's life, this official is worried that Chu Huan will take this opportunity to implicate the blow, and because of Ling Lang, this fire will be ignited to your Gao family." ”

Gao Lian had a chill on his body, and the six gods had no owner, "Lord Zhizhou, please give me guidance and give me a way to live." ”

"There is really no way for this official." Dong Shizhen shook his head and said, "Otherwise, you can go directly to see Chu Huan and see what he means." ”

Gao Lian hesitated for a moment before asking, "My lord, do you think Chu Huan will open up?" ”

"Although Chu Huan is young, he is scheming, Master Gao can go and explore the wind first." Dong Shizhen said softly: "As long as there is a glimmer of hope, naturally we must go all out." You just look for him and see what conditions he will propose, and the official will also find a suitable opportunity to intercede for Ling Lang. ”

Gao Lian knew that there was no other way to do it now, the initiative was in Chu Huan's hands, so he could only go to see what Chu Huan meant, "Thank you, Lord Zhizhou, then I can only go to Chu Huan first and see what conditions he will propose, as long as he releases the puppy, no matter how big the sacrifice is, I can accept it." ”

Gao Lian is worried about his son, and Gao Gongzi's life is indeed very difficult now.

Guards garrison.

Qi Hong was shirtless, carrying a leather whip in his hand, in a room where the guards were stationed, interrogating several prisoners who had just been arrested, Gao Gongzi, Shen Prison Officer and Chu Cell Head were stripped naked, leaving only a pair of shorts, tied to three wooden stakes, Gao Gongzi's originally white and tender skin was already bloodstained at this time, his body was full of whip marks, his hair was scattered, he looked dying, and said weakly: "I really don't know...... I don't know if it's Lord Chu...... I really...... Really not bandits...... Please, let it go...... Let me go......! ”

Qi Hong sat on the chair, panting, and gave a thumbs up, "Gao Gongzi, you are a man, who wants to say that you are a bad seed in the future, you are a playboy, Lao Tzu was the first to slap his mouth, it has come to this point, you Gao Gongzi can still grit his teeth, good man, admire, really admire!" ”
