In the cell number A, Chu Huan sat cross-legged in front of the cell door, like a god and Buddha guarding the door, standing still, and the prisoners behind him were both respectful and afraid of Chu Huan at this time.

These prisoners so far, they don't know the reason for the matter, in their eyes, they only saw Fan Fatzi being poisoned by a bowl of braised pork, the so-called rabbit died and the fox was sad, Fan Fatzi was also the same prisoner status as them, and was poisoned alive, which naturally made this group of people have great hostility and resentment towards the government.

Chu Huan's performance, in the eyes of these people, seemed to be Chu Huan fighting for Fan Fatzi, although he was greatly devastated and tortured by Chu Huan on this day, but at this time, Chu Huan stepped forward, which still made this group of prisoners have respect in their hearts.

What shocked and admired them even more was that Chu Huan, as a prisoner, dared to go against the dignity of a county face to face, this courage and courage were of course extremely rare.

The strange sound coming from the passage of the cell, but Chu Huan heard it very clearly, knowing that something had happened in the cell, and he immediately became alert.

Hu Zhixian left angrily, Chu Huan didn't think he would stop there, knowing that the old guy would definitely come up with other ruthless ways to deal with him, and what he had to do was to stick to it here, and the soldiers would come to block the water and cover the earth, it was really a last resort, just to get out of prison and leave.

The movement over there quickly fell silent, and after a long while, he heard a sound of footsteps, Chu Huan frowned, and soon saw a person appear outside the cell door, standing upright.

Chu Huan raised his head and looked at the man, only to see that the person who came was burly, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and there was even a little smile on his face.

"Is that you?" Seeing the visitor, Chu Huan was taken aback.

The big man who suddenly appeared turned out to be Chu Huan's acquaintance, and the two of them can be regarded as having suffered together, it was Wei Tianqing who had suffered together in Luojiang and Lanting Temple.

That night in Lanting Temple, Chu Huan and Wei Tianqing teamed up to rescue everyone, but later they dispersed in the chaos, Wei Tianqing took Mrs. Qiao to ride away, and Chu Huan escorted Su Linlang to break through successfully.

After that night, Chu Huan and Wei Tianqing had never seen each other again, and Chu Huan had even forgotten this person who met in Pingshui in his mind.

It's just that God always seems to be joking with Chu Huan, he thought that he would never see Linlang again, but he became a guy in a wine shop under Linlang's name, he had forgotten the existence of Wei Tianqing, who knew that on such an occasion, this Wei Tianqing, who was almost forgotten by himself, appeared alive in front of his eyes.

When Wei Tianqing saw Chu Huan, he had a smile on his face and arched his hand: "Brother Chu, I made you suffer!" ”

The prisoners in the prison opened their mouths wide in disbelief, but they could see clearly that Wei Tianqing's outfit was obviously from the government, and it seemed that his status was not low.

But this official man took the lead in surrendering his hand to Chu Huan, and even called Chu Huan "Brother Chu", which is simply incredible.

Several prisoners were speculating in their hearts about who Chu Huan was at this time.

Chu Huan slowly stood up, frowned, groaned slightly, and finally asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"Don't hide it from Brother Chu, this time I came here for Brother Chu." Wei Tianqing said with a smile: "I heard that Brother Chu was unjustly imprisoned, and after I got the news, I rushed over as soon as I got the news......!" Looking everywhere, he suddenly saw the corpse behind Chu Huan, and immediately frowned.

Chu Huanshun glanced at Fan Fatzi's corpse, and said calmly: "I hope this corpse is useful to you!" ”

……

……

Qingliu County County Hall has been lit at this time, the lights are bright, the wide county hall is as bright as day, and the four words "Mirror Hanging" on the plaque are also scorching under the lights.

In the past, when the hall was opened, the left and right classes of officials were mighty, but tonight's hall was not the territory of those county officials.

On the main seat of Hu Zhixian on weekdays, at this time there was a middle-aged man of forty-five or sixteen years old, dressed in a blue robe, wearing an official hat, and a brocade belt around his waist, leaning on the big chair, closing his eyes and recuperating.

There are a few chairs under the hall, Hu Zhixian is sitting on a chair at this time, his face is a little gray, but he pretends to be calm, under him, Zhao Xiancheng is also sitting, compared to Hu Zhixian's uneasiness, Zhao Xiancheng is calm and relaxed.

In front of the hall, there are five or six big men in gray suits, their waist skirts are made of armor, and the hats on their heads are pointed in front and round in the back, which is very special and majestic, like five or six bronze statues standing with knives in their hands, standing still.

In the middle of the lobby, Zhang Dabeard was kneeling on the ground with his hands tied behind his back, hanging his head, not daring to move.

In the entire lobby, there was silence and fear, and no one took the lead to speak.

After a while, there was a sound of noise outside the hall, and soon, I saw a group of people sparsely falling in front of the hall, and a servant walked in quickly, knelt down under the hall, and said: "Lord Qiyu, the county lord Bo, the six room Jingcheng, the school official, and the inspection have all arrived, and they are waiting outside the hall!" ”

In the land of a county, there are many people, and it seems that a county yamen seems to be inconspicuous among the hundred officials, but throughout the world, the county yamen is the foundation of a country.

The official structure of the county government has always been very complete.

Generally speaking, the county government can be divided into three levels: officials, officials, and servants.

The so-called officials, the county is naturally the official of a county, the county and the lord are Zuo Er, these three positions are all imperial court officials, and the second-class officials are registered in the Ministry of Officials, and there are official public officials, responsible for the handling of daily affairs, such as the six-room clerk, the warehouse treasurer, the chief and deputy inspector of the inspection department, as well as the medical hall training, the post house, the school hall teachings, etc., the number is not much, but each system is involved.

At the bottom are the yacha, who stand in the hall, guard, guard, urge, arrest, etc., and handle the actual affairs after listening to the dispatch of the management.

In the middle of the night, the yacha sent the main book, the six rooms and the inspection of the school officials, which was a big move, and cold sweat oozed from Hu Zhixian's forehead, and he clearly understood that there would be a storm next.

He only looked at Zhang Dabeard, who was kneeling in the hall, and only hoped that Zhang Dabeard would look at him, so that he could make a look and let Zhang Dabeard understand some tricks.

Hu Zhixian is not an ordinary person after all, but at this critical moment, he calmed down and went through the matter in his mind in detail, feeling that he really did not leave direct evidence, and the biggest hidden danger was Zhang Dabeard kneeling in the hall.

This incident of poisoning Chu Huan, Hu Zhixian secretly instigated, but the actual operator was Zhang Dabeard, Hu Zhixian now just wants Zhang Dabeard to meet his eyes, and he uses his eyes to hand him a meaning, as long as Zhang Dabeard bites to death without knowing and does not let go of his confession, then it will be difficult for the people of the Criminal Department to be convicted.

After all, there are still people behind Hu Zhixian, he knows very well that as long as he can survive tonight, things may take a turn for the better, Fucheng has its own backers, they are well-informed, as long as they know that something has happened on their side, they will definitely help.

In other words, as long as the Criminal Department cannot settle the case tonight, then things will take a turn for the better, so Hu Zhixian is eager to let Zhang Dabeard keep his mouth shut, and he must not let the Criminal Department Department decide the case tonight.

Although Hu Zhixian's official position is not high, he is well versed in the open and secret battles of officialdom, and Lan Tingyu, the director of the Fucheng Criminal Department, rushed to Qingliu County late at night, and the time interval between Chu Huan's arrest was only one day, which shows the speed of the Criminal Department's action this time.

is so resolute and resolute, seize the time, and the Criminal Department Department naturally has the heart to win.

Hu Zhixian sneered in his heart, although he was facing a crisis, he tried his best to calm down at this time, he knew too well in his heart that once he lost this time, the consequences would be devastating.

……

Lan Tingyu, the director of the Criminal Department, sat on the main seat in the main hall, and when he heard the report from the yacha, he opened his eyes slightly, and said expressionlessly: "Let them all come in!" ”

The three provinces of Daqin, Zhongshu, Menxia and Shangshu Province.

The book is proposed to be ordered, the door is audited, and the book is executed, and the book is divided into six departments, the main department in Beijing is set up six departments, the local department is set up six departments, and the county level is set up with six rooms.

Lan Tingyu is the head of the Fucheng Criminal Department, and he can be said to be the highest criminal officer in the entire Yunshan Mansion, and his status is not trivial.

Lan Tingyu gave an order, the officials outside the door came in one after another, greeted them in the hall, and then stood on both sides according to their status, many of these officials were summoned in a deep sleep, and they were a little confused, and they were surprised to see Lan Tingyu sitting in the hall in the official uniform of the head of the Criminal Department, and then saw that it was Zhang who was kneeling in the hall with a big beard, and he was even more shocked and inexplicable.

Lan Tingyu glanced at everyone, then sat upright, his expression was calm, his voice was slightly hoarse, and he asked lightly to the bearded man under the hall, "Who is kneeling in the hall?" ”

Zhang Dabeard lowered his head and replied, "Villain Zhang Xuan!" ”

"Zhang Xuan, this official asked you, why did you assassinate Zhao Xiancheng?" Lan Tingyu asked lightly: "What kind of grudge do you have against him, why do you want to put him to death?" ”

Zhang Bearded raised his head and shouted, "Adult, small one...... Small wronged ......! Looking at Hu Zhixian over there, he looked nervous.

At this time, he looked straight at Hu Zhixian, but it made Hu Zhixian's heart suddenly, and the move of opening his beard was as if Hu Zhixian was behind the scenes.

Hu Zhixian's heart was shocked, at this time, many people followed Zhang Dabeard's gaze and looked at him, but he didn't want to give a hint to Zhang Dabeard's eyes, so he simply didn't look over his head and didn't look at Zhang Dabeard.

Lan Tingyu smiled faintly, looked at Zhao Xiancheng, and asked, "Zhao Hongwen, Zhang Xuan wants to assassinate you, but is there such a thing?" ”

Zhao Hongwen, the county magistrate, got up and arched his hand: "Lord Hui, the lower official patrolled the cell at night, accompanied by Zhang Xuan, and suddenly stabbed the official halfway, Lord Wei saw it with his own eyes, and the lower official did not dare to deceive!" ”

I heard a voice from outside the hall: "Yes, this official can testify that Zhang Xuan is indeed going to assassinate Zhao Xiancheng in prison." As he spoke, Wei Tianqing, who was on his back, had already entered the lobby.
