() In the dark, damp dungeon, there is a faint sound of rats scurrying in secret, and an unpleasant and oppressive smell.

In the deepest cell, the few traffickers who were caught were shouting: "We really know that we are wrong, it's a big deal not to do this kind of thing in the future, my lord, give us a way to live, those people will definitely not want to let us go!" ”

What was in front of them was the county decree of the county government, and at this time, in addition to the coldness on his face, it was indifference and ruthlessness.

"My lord, please let us go for the sake of the past! We can give you as much as you want, what we have is money. The innkeeper stretched out his unkempt hand and begged for mercy in embarrassment.

But the county magistrate only glanced at them, and then snorted coldly: "Let you go, how can I explain to that group of people?" This time, everyone knows the good things you have done, and this is what you brought on yourself! ”

Originally, it seems that they have always had the sincerity to pay the money, and he, who is the county magistrate, has always turned a blind eye to the fact that he secretly does things like stealing chickens and dogs in this inn, and never asks.

But they were discovered, and they made the matter known to everyone, if he, as a county magistrate, didn't make an example to those ordinary people to punish the traitors, wouldn't he be disobedient to the public? For the sake of face and vanity, the prefectural order intends to abandon these people.

To sit in his position, he had to find a way to dispose of these people, so that they would not chew their tongues in front of others.

I don't know what I thought, the county commander's expression became sinister, and he pointed to a servant: "You, come over to me." ”

"My lord, do you have any orders?" The official knelt down and said.

The county commander whispered a few words in his ear, and the officer's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "Yes, I guarantee to complete the task!" ”

In the dead of night, the cicadas chirped softly, and a black shadow dragged something to stay outside the courtyard door, and after the black shadow dropped the thing, the figure disappeared into the night without a sound.

Bai Rong, who was tossing and turning on the bed, had no intention of sleeping, somehow, she always felt that things were not so simple, if the county order and the traffickers were really together, then she must find a way to expose the county order.

Otherwise, in the future, such an existence as human traffickers will still do bad things under the noses of the people.

Thinking too much but falling asleep, Bai Rong simply went out to blow the wind, calm and calm, and as soon as the door was pushed open, he saw a familiar figure sitting in the middle of the courtyard.

Disturbed by the sound of the door opening, Gu Ziyuan withdrew from his thoughts, and looked at the voice: "Can't sleep well?" ”

Bai Rong walked out and said, "Well, if you want to come out and see the moon, can't you sleep?" ”

There was only a candle lit at the table, and the warm light reflected the white face, the fine eyelashes, and the slightly open lips that were moist after drinking tea, somehow, Gu Ziyuan suddenly felt that he should not continue to be alone with her.

He was afraid that his palpitations would be exposed too soon, which would make Bai Rong frightened and alienated.

Gu Ziyuan stood up and took a deep breath: "I, it's okay, don't bother you, I'll go back to the room first." ”

It's just that he walked halfway and suddenly turned back, Bai Rong only felt a heat on his shoulders, and a coat with a cold woody fragrance was draped on his body, and his warm advice was in his ears

"Be careful of catching a cold, and wear more clothes next night before coming out."

When he said this, he didn't dare to look at Bai Rong, which made her a little inexplicable.

Gu Ziyuan has been a little wrong lately, right? But what was not right, Bai Rong couldn't figure it out.

Next.

A panicked exclamation shattered the tranquility of the early morning.

"Why are there dead people here?!"

Just outside the door of a courtyard, there was a female corpse lying on the ground on her back, her eyes closed, her lips blue, and her whole face so white that there was no blood.

The county magistrate soon arrived with the official and the servant, and not long after they finished the inspection, they saw Bai Rong push open the door of the courtyard and come out, looking at the noisy crowd outside in confusion.

"Lord Prefectural, why are you here?" Immediately after Bai Rong lowered his head, he saw the corpse in front of the door.

The county magistrate looked at her coldly: "Still ask me?" Why did someone die in front of your door, can you explain it? ”

Gu Ziyuan also walked out: "What happened?" ”

Before the two of them could understand the situation clearly, the servant brought over by the county magistrate pointed to Gu Ziyuan's sword and said: "The murderer is this person, he has a sword on his body, and the deceased also has a sword wound on his body, he must have done it!" ”

Looking at the lively crowd, they saw that Gu Ziyuan had a sword on his body, and they suddenly didn't know what to say, he was still a hero who ended up in a human trafficker's den yesterday, why did he become a murderer today? No one could believe it.

"You're a bloody spewer." Gu Ziyuan narrowed his eyes.

He was shocked by his eyes, and his heart was a little weak, and the county commander turned to stand up and speak for him: "Then can you explain clearly, why this corpse is here, and there happens to be a sword wound on it?" ”

Bai Rong sensed the smell of conspiracy and frowned: "This must be a misunderstanding, we definitely didn't kill anyone." ”

"Needless to say, this official thinks that you are extremely suspicious of killing people, come and take them away!" The county commander was afraid that they would say something to get rid of it, and didn't want to give them this opportunity again, so he gave an order to let the officials arrest people.

Unexpectedly, the two men did not resist.

"Gu Ziyuan." Bai Rong was worried and wanted to ask him what he would do next.

Gu Ziyuan whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, after you go in, you will see the opportunity to act, and then find a way to catch the evidence of his collusion with human traffickers, and I will find a way to save you." ”

Bai Rong nodded, maintaining trust in him: "Well, I know, you should be careful." ”

Calm down, Bai Rong followed those servants into the dungeon, she and Gu Ziyuan were locked up in two separate places, as for where he was, Bai Rong had no way of knowing, at present, she could only improvise and wait for a certain opportunity to come.

And at night, the opportunity really fell into her hands.

The official opened the cell door and took her out: "If the county magistrate wants to ask you, come with me." ”

Following him, Bai Rong went to a room upstairs, and after waiting for a while, the county magistrate came.

Different from the majestic and cold-faced Rakshasa during the day, the county commander at this time had a seemingly harmonious look on his face, and his fat face squeezed out a smile, which made Bai Rong frown, and he was almost disgusted to vomit.

The county magistrate sat down with a smile and was unexpectedly patient: "Girl, as long as you honestly drink and talk with me, this official will consider not sentencing you, how about it." ”

Bai Rong was surprised, pretending to be stupid: "My lord said that I was laughing, I didn't do anything in the first place, why should I be punished?" ”

"I advise you not to eat badly and go against this palace, don't you think about your friend's safety first?" The county commander sneered, a bit of danger flashing in his eyes.

With a roll of her eyes, Bai Rongpi took the initiative to lean over without smiling, and she drank a glass of wine boldly.
