() On the second day, the prefectural government.

Because there is no news of Bai Rong and Ding Xu, the county order has not had a good night's sleep and can sleep: "Why haven't you found it yet?" Keep looking for me, I can't let her and that Ding Xu leave the county! ”

Then there was the sound of the teapot breaking, clanging.

The attendant hurriedly ran in, looking incredulous: "Master, the girl who sells steamed buns is here, just outside the door." ”

The county magistrate was also stunned for a moment, and then his eyes became ruthless, and he went out with his family, and what he saw was the girl who sold buns that day, and he squinted his eyes vigilantly, in case she wanted to break the net: "I'm looking for it everywhere, but I didn't expect you to send it to the door yourself." ”

Bai Rong bowed slightly: "Let people go, otherwise I will go to the capital and report all the things you did, and you will wait to be convicted." ”

expressed disdain for Bai Rong's threat, and it was impossible for the county order to give her this opportunity. He sneered and nodded to the officials: "Then we have to see if you have this chance." ”

Sure enough, he was caught by the officials, and Bai Rong pretended to be panicked and struggled: "Let go of me!" Why are you arresting me? ”

"Just because you are a gang, you want to cheat the money of the county order together, and you want to go crazy for money, right? Then wait for death. The county magistrate waved his hand and asked the official to take her to Gu Ziyuan's cell.

The air in the dimly lit dungeon was very poor, breathing was not smooth, there were often heart-rending coughing sounds, and some prisoners were screaming when they were being tortured, which was very depressing.

But these were all left behind when she saw Gu Ziyuan, and as soon as the official behind her pushed her in, Bai Rong immediately ran to Gu Ziyuan's side, only to find that he had already been tortured, and she was distressed to see it.

The red marks, large and small, are all skin wounds, although there is no blood, but it makes Bai Rong feel worse and worse the more he looks at it, and he just wants to bring that dog official to justice now, so that he can be clear-eyed and calm.

Gu Ziyuan saw her sullen and angry appearance, smiled, and reached out to smooth her frowning brows: "I knew you would come." ”

"This county order is too hateful, when he goes out, he must not be easily spared." Bai Rong adjusted his mentality and said quite unhappily.

Gu Ziyuan pointed to the cell next to him: "There are three people over there, I observe that their words and deeds seem to be from rich and noble backgrounds, but I don't know why they were arrested, we can investigate." ”

These three people were wearing prison uniforms, and they couldn't see their identities, but Gu Ziyuan was careful and patient, and he still heard in a casual conversation between the three of them that the life experiences of the three of them should not be so simple.

Bai Rong waited until the officials patrolling outside passed, and then approached the next cell and asked the three people: "A few sons, can you tell me how you were locked in?" ”

It was the first time that the three sons were accosted by the girl in the cell, and they couldn't help but be stunned, but one of them quickly complained unwillingly: "It's not all the county magistrate, if it weren't for him." ”

In Qinghe County, these three sons are friends who know each other, and their family backgrounds are among the best in Qinghe County.

But the county order here is very insidious, doing everything for money, knowing that they have money in their family, they deliberately set a trap for them to step into, and then take the opportunity to say that they have committed a crime and arrest them.

In order not to punish them, but to extort more money from their families, and even to the lion's mouth, the money demanded can be said to be almost half of the property of their family.

Although their family loves their son very much, they also understand that if they really hand over all the money, the business in this family will also suffer a lot of involvement and impact, and in the entanglement, their family is still hesitating how to make a decision.

The county order was not in a hurry, indicating that as long as he did not give money, he would be kept in a cell and would never be able to get out.

Knowing that the county magistrate actually did such a frenzied personal transaction for money, Bai Rong and Gu Ziyuan scoffed at this.

Not long after the boy finished speaking, he heard the sound of the county order talking to the others, and was approaching this side, Bai Rong and Gu Ziyuan returned to the corner and pretended not to have done anything.

"Please, Lord County Commander, there is only so much money that our family can hand over, you can let my son go!"

The father of one of the sons interceded with the county order, and it turned out that someone's father had come to ransom the person, and the ransomed son was very excited to follow his father to ask for the county order, but the county order was not very satisfied with the amount of money.

In the end, he threw his sleeves away with a straight face, and the official also took away the son's father, and the scene of crying and screaming was like parting with life and death.

Bai Rong buried his head

In Gu Ziyuan's chest, he didn't think much about it anymore and slowly closed his eyes.

Sleepless nights.

The drums of the yamen beat in the early morning.

The county magistrate got up impatiently, but found that there were people outside the yamen, and the threshold was about to be broken, and almost half of the county people came, led by the former minister and Ding Xu, who fled last night.

Seeing this scene, the county commander was shocked and angry, and said: "Do you all want to rebel?" Come to my court and make trouble, believe it or not, I'll take you all to jail. ”

Before the words fell, the crowd below erupted in an overwhelming condemnation, everyone was scolding him for his crimes, these people present were people who had been persecuted by him, hated him to the core, and the anger of the people shocked the county order, and he wanted to flee in the wilderness.

Bai Rong and Gu Ziyuan walked out at this time and blocked the last escape path of the county order.

"You, how did you get out?" The county magistrate looked at them in astonishment, stepped back, and hit the table in the high hall.

Behind Bai Rong and them, there were also the three rich disciples.

Gu Ziyuan looked coldly at the desperate county order: "Countless people have been harmed, making money for people, making the people miserable, and you are still enjoying the hardships of the people in the house, people like you deserve death." ”

The words "sin deserves death" were like a blow to the head, making the county commander retreat to the corner and beg for mercy.

The people of Qinghe County shouted in unison: "He deserves death!" ”

Under the joint efforts of the people of Qinghe County, the county order was finally arrested and paraded in the streets, and the people celebrated together, and sent a lot of rotten eggs and rotten cabbage to the county order, but it was enough to calm down the anger after humiliating him.

Subsequently, the county magistrate was escorted away by the people sent by the capital, and he was to be sent to the capital for interrogation and conviction.

After the incident, Gu Ziyuan recognized the old minister in front of him alone, and the old minister learned that Gu Ziyuan was the son of the former emperor, and he was also the current emperor, so he choked up with excitement and quickly knelt down.

Gu Ziyuan helped him up and asked him to continue to hide his identity, although he has now become the emperor, but these words in the previous dynasty are still too sensitive, and it is best to remain incognito for his safety.

Ding Xu saw that although Gu Ziyuan was very imposing, he felt that no matter how powerful Gu Ziyuan was, it could not be compared with the lord of the country.
