The old man said: "I am already very content to be a janitor, I don't have anything to ask for in my life, just ask for a clear conscience, just eat a meal in peace, you don't want to do those things that hurt nature, raise your children well, one day in the future find a good family, just live your own life, don't think about anything else." ”

Xiao Zhuzi said impatiently: "I don't need you to tell me these big truths, I know how I will go in the future." Okay, there's nothing for you here, you can go back quickly, and if there's any news there, come and let me know immediately. ”

The old man nodded, took two steps back, and then turned back and said, "Don't have any bad ideas." ”

Xiaozhu waved his hand impatiently, and the old man staggered away.

After he left, Xiao Zhuzi narrowed her eyes, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she couldn't easily let go of this good opportunity, this was the only chance for her and Murong Feng to reconcile, if she missed it, I am afraid that there would be no such a good opportunity in the future, so she cleaned herself up, and then got into the carriage and went to the yamen in person and reported the matter to the county official.

When the county magistrate heard that the killer of Rui Wangye actually appeared in the territory under his jurisdiction, he was surprised and frightened, and hurriedly sent all the officials to hunt down Shangguan Yun. At this time, Shangguan Yun and Chu Xiaoxi had already returned to that world and were building a house. The officials searched all the places in the vicinity, and even searched all the places they could find, but they were almost three feet into the ground, and they did not find any trace of the two people.

At this time, more than half a month has passed since Xiaozhuzi reported the case, and the county officials were very angry, blaming those officials for not doing their jobs effectively, and the master said to him: "Master, could it be that this news is wrong, that person has never been here at all, otherwise why haven't you found even a trace of it?"

When the county magistrate heard this, he also felt that this was possible, and he slapped the table angrily and said: "If someone dares to report a false case, I must hold her accountable." Then he called for the little bamboo to be found.

Xiao Zhuzi was also very surprised when she heard that she didn't find any clues, she knelt down and said to the county master: "My lord, this news was told to me by my father, he will definitely not lie to me, and he is the one who took care of the home of Chu Xiaoxi, the same party of Shangguan Yun, he saw the two of them leave with his own eyes, it must be right." ”

When the county magistrate heard this, he said angrily: "Since he already knew why he came to report the case? If he had come to report the case earlier, wouldn't he have arrested the people properly, and now that everyone has run away, he has come to report the case, which is really unreasonable! It looks like he can't get out of it, come on, arrest him. ”

Xiao Zhuzi was dumbfounded when she heard this, originally she just wanted to get rid of her own involvement, but she didn't expect it to affect her own father, she really wanted to cry without tears. But now that the words have been spoken, the county magistrate has sent someone to arrest someone again, and she has no choice but to kneel there and cry.

After an hour, the old janitor was arrested. He looked panicked, he didn't know what was going on, when he saw the little bamboo kneeling on the ground, he immediately understood, he knelt on the ground dejectedly, saw the county master, the county master patted the wood, and said: "Bold old man, there is a court to live at home and don't report, you can confess!" ”

The old man hurriedly fell to the ground and said, "I confess, I confess, but it has nothing to do with my daughter, begging the county magistrate to let her go." ”

Xiao Zhuzi cried when he heard this, and said tremblingly: "Dad! ”

The old man sighed in his heart and closed his eyes.

The county magistrate asked loudly: "This official asked you, since you know that he is a fugitive, why didn't you report the crime?" Are you in league with them? ”

The old man hurriedly said: "My lord, the little one is just a servant who cares for the house, the reason why I didn't report the case is because I didn't know that the other party was a wanted criminal by the imperial court, and when I knew that they were already gone, and I was an old man who had no way to stop them?" I could only watch them leave. ”

The county magistrate snorted coldly and said: "Even if this is the case, it will be too late for you to come and report the case immediately when they leave, don't make excuses, I see that you are in a gang with them, come here, beat him to death row, and ask for beheading." ”

Xiao Zhuzi cried when he heard the wow, and begged bitterly: "My lord, please don't behead my father, he really doesn't know about it." By the time he knew, those two people had already fled, and their martial arts were so strong that my father couldn't beat them, and if he insisted on stopping them, he would definitely be killed by them. I beg the adults to open the net and not put him to death. ”

The county magistrate snorted coldly and said: "This matter is very important, it's not that I won't kill him if I say a word, I still have to listen to the fate of the above and lock him up first." ”

Then with a wave of his hand, two servants immediately stepped forward, dragged the old man up, and dragged him to the cell.

Xiao Zhuzi watched the old man being dragged away, tears kept flowing down, she really regretted that she didn't listen to the old man at the beginning, otherwise he wouldn't have been put in prison.

The county magistrate patted the shocked wood again, and said: "If you still know that you have come to report the case, I will not hold you accountable for the first time, if the prince of Rui wants to investigate it in the future, you can go back first!" ”

Xiao Zhuzi thanked him gratefully, and then cried all the way back to Murong's house, and after she went back, she locked herself in the room and cried.

The others didn't know what was going on, so they were very worried, and hurriedly went to report to Old Madam Murong. Old Madam Murong was also startled when she heard that Xiao Zhuzi had started crying when she came back from outside, and hurriedly came to see her and asked her what had happened.

Xiao Zhuzi thought that Mrs. Murong might be able to help her father get through the difficulties, so she hurriedly invited her in, and then told her in detail what happened, although she usually didn't respect the old man very much, but after all, it was her own father, or because of her mistake to be imprisoned, she was naturally anxious, she hoped that Mrs. Murong could find a way or spend some money to get the old man out first.

When Mrs. Murong heard that this incident was caused by Shangguan Yun, she immediately became concerned, originally she thought it was just a trivial matter, but she didn't expect it to be related to her other son. Since the old man was put in prison to protect his son, of course she couldn't stand idly by, but she was also dissatisfied with Xiaozhuzi's approach, because she actually went behind her back to report her son, and
