286 Let the man go
Chu Mufeng can always explain countless reasons, but facts are facts, and he can't be allowed to quibble.
"I'm sorry."
In a thousand words, in the end, only these three words can express her current mood.
Xiang Xi sneered a few times, "So, you are innocent of death, this is what your Chu family owes me, and if you die today, you will be regarded as paying me back." ”
After Xiang Xi finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves, and soon the two fainted.
woke up again, the two were in a carriage, Song Erniu opened the curtain and looked out, it was not clear where this was, but according to speculation, they should have left Wenxian.
What the hell is going on, my cousin obviously hated it last night and wanted to kill people, why would they leave Wenxian now......
So, the cousin is not trying to kill them, but to save them? ‘
Song Erniu thought of this possibility, and hurriedly went to wake up Chu Mufeng, "Let's go back quickly, I'm worried that my cousin will be in danger." ”
Song Erniu didn't wait for Chu Mufeng to come back to his senses, and quickly asked the coachman to turn around, and on the way back, Song Erniu analyzed the current situation.
"You remember what happened yesterday, right, if she could save us, she would definitely save us, but she didn't, and even pretended to kill us and stunned us, why is this?"
Chu Mufeng quickly understood, and at the same time felt guilty.
Back then, he lost her, and after many years, he finally met again, if she had three strengths and two weaknesses because of them, she might never forgive herself for the rest of her life.
"Yes, we have to hurry back."
Two hours later, the carriage returned to Wenxian again, and as soon as it entered the city, it was found that many people were running towards the entrance of the vegetable market.
Song Erniu found someone to ask, "Auntie, what are you doing here?" Is there any excitement over there? Where are we all going? ”
"Don't you know? Today, there are prisoners in the government who want to cut off their heads, and they all go to see them. I won't tell you, I won't be able to squeeze in front if I go late. ”
At the entrance of the vegetable market, someone wants to cut off the head?
She remembered that only the two of them in the county town had been sentenced to behead in the past few days, but they all ran away, and now the government wants to cut off whose head?
Hasn't the government found out that they have run away?
Then I thought, impossible, it's been so long, it's impossible for the government not to find out
But who else but them will be beheaded?
"It's cousin." Chu Mufeng was the first to react, but he didn't have time to explain, so he pulled Song Erniu and ran towards the entrance of the vegetable market.
When the two came over, Xiang Xi was already on the stage.
She is still so beautiful, even if she is wearing a prison uniform, she can't hide her difference and beauty.
Many men felt sorry for Xiang Xi, and some people even asked the county order what crime Xiang Xi had committed and why he killed her?
The onlookers were noisy and noisy. Xiang Xi kept his head down, not knowing what he was thinking.
"It's really cousin. Chu Mufeng, what are we going to do now? ”
Xiang Xi was beheaded because of them, and they couldn't sit idly by.
Chu Mufeng stared at Xiang Xi gloomily, with anger and worry in his eyes.
"You wait here, I'll go back." Chu Mufeng turned around and left. Song Erniu was worried.
I'm afraid they're going to be intercepted today. Chu Mufeng should have gone to look for something, and Song Erniu took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, and secretly took out some spiritual liquid, intending to keep it for later use.
After half a ring, Chu Mufeng came back, but there was nothing in his hand, and Song Erniu was anxious.
"Didn't you go buy a knife? What about knives? ”
Chu Mufeng was puzzled, "What do you do when you buy a knife?" ”
"Prisoners. My cousin has become like this for us, and we must not sit idly by. Although the two of us may not have a good chance of success, it is better to try than to wait. ”
When Chu Mufeng heard this, he touched Tang Shiluo's head with a smile, "Who told you that I was going to intercept the prisoner?" ”
"Is there any other way than this right now?"
They don't have any people they know in Wenxian County, and if they don't intercept prisoners, do they have any other way?
Song Er, you looked anxious, but when you turned your head, you saw Chu Mufeng like a nobody, and became more and more anxious, "You have to think of a way." Didn't you say your cousin was important to you? Is that your attitude towards the people who matter most? ”
Chu Mufeng smiled silently, at this time, the county commander glanced at the hour, and knocked on the shocking wood, "When the hour comes, make a decision." ”
Song Erniu saw the ancient execution for the first time. If she was just a visitor, she might be in a more relaxed mood, but for now, ......
"Chu Mufeng, my cousin is about to be beheaded, let's act quickly."
Song Erniu pulled Chu Mufeng and was about to walk forward, Chu Mufeng glanced at her, and then walked forward with her strength.
When he came to the stage, the executioner had just washed his knife, "Wait a minute." ”
Chu Mufeng took out a token and stepped forward with a smile, "Master Hu's token is here, I see who dares to act rashly." ”
When the county magistrate heard this, he was so frightened that he quickly got up and came over to bow down. After seeing Chu Mufeng's face clearly, the county magistrate's face changed, "It's you, I didn't expect you to dare to come back, and someone came to arrest this person who pretended to be a close confidant of Master Hu." ”
The official stepped forward and wanted to do it. Song Erniu was so frightened that she stepped forward to protect Chu Mufeng, Chu Mufeng saw this, smiled and pulled Song Erniu behind him, and then continued, "The county order has to be seen clearly, Taishi Hu is not someone in the capital, as long as you do things well, they can leave you alive." ”
"I have already written a letter with Master Hu before I came, if I die here today, you don't want to leave Wenxian alive."
Compared with being promoted and getting rich, if you lose your life, what is the point of these. The county order is not stupid, so he naturally understands the meaning of Chu Mufeng's words, but it is just ...... Things are almost done, and they are about to kick the door, if they just give up......
"Presumptuous, what is your identity, you dare to threaten this official, and ...... someone comes"
"The county magistrate knows who I am, and I know my value, I still say that, you can kill me, but I will definitely let you bury me. What is the identity of the county order, I don't need to have a majority, if you have to be buried with me, I am naturally very grateful. ”
"You ......" The county order was a little hesitant, he didn't dare to bet, since he received the order from above, he naturally knew what Chu Mufeng was from and who was behind him. Although the official position of the person behind her is not low, but who doesn't know Taishi Hu's methods, if he really insists on going his own way today, he really believes that Taishi Hu will kill them all.
In the end, the county order finally compromised, "This case is full of doubts, and it is necessary to postpone the retrial, and the prisoner will be sent to prison first, and then the official will personally interrogate him." ”
The prefectural order intends to delay. But Chu Mufeng disagreed.
What she just said was a lie, and it would be revealed in a long time, and now that the fairy had begun to believe, he had to fight quickly.
"Let the people go."
When the county magistrate heard this, he immediately refused, "No." ”
