"It's out of the water!" I don't know who shouted!

The lights in the inn came on one after another. This was followed by the sound of chaotic footsteps and the cacophony of the crowd.

By the time everyone poured water into Childe's shallow room, the fire was out of control.

Yao Tong and Dong Xinping stood in the open space downstairs in a daze, looking at the raging flames in Gongzi's shallow room. The fiery snake licked the roof mercilessly.

"Childe!" Yao Tong knelt down. His face was as bloodless as white paper.

"Get up!" Childe's shallow voice sounded behind Yao Tong.

"Son, Childe!" Yao Tong sat slumped on the ground and looked back at Gongzi Qingqian.

"Are you a human or a ghost?" Dong Xinping took two steps back. The woman beside him screamed.

"Childe! Those people ran away. I only caught one! Hanguang threw the man in his hand to the ground.

Yao Tong immediately got up. His son-in-law is not dead! Alive. Yao Tong's heart began to beat violently.

"Say! Who sent you? Hanguang said sharply.

The man closed his eyes and said nothing. Yao Tong kicked him twice in anger.

"Say!"

"Send him to the yamen!" Childe knew that it would be useless to ask any more. Hanguang carried the man away.

Before Gongzi Qingqian arrived in Nanchuan, he encountered repeated assassinations. It seems that everything was not accidental, but premeditated. Someone's intention not to let Gongzi Qingqian go to Nanchuan is already obvious.

So what is the truth of the Nanchuan incident? Is it as reported? Childe Qingqian had to think about it carefully.

"Brother Dong! Qingqian has one thing to ask for! "Next to the horse in the backyard of the inn, the son is shallow and salute.

"Please!"

"We went to Nanchuan to investigate the fact that someone rushed into the county government and flouted the prestige of the country!"

"Do you want me to pretend to be you to go to the Nanchuan Mansion?" Dong Xinping really deserves to be a seven-trick exquisite heart.

"It's just that this matter is too sinister! If you're afraid, forget it! Childe pulled out the horses.

"Does no one in Nanchuan recognize you?"

"Nope! Yao Tong and I will go first! "Gongzi Qingqian and Yao Tong got on the horse.

"Hey! I haven't ...... yet" Dong Xinping watched Gongzi Qingqian's master and servant gallop away on horseback, and swallowed the second half of the sentence. It's useless to say anything now.

"Childe! Let's go, too! Hanguang pulled Dong Xinping's horse out.

Dong Xinping and Hanguang rushed all the way to Tuhe Town on the border of Nanchuan.

The town is very lively, and the business is quite prosperous. Dong Xin's peaceful and bright outfits, a discerning person can know at a glance that they are from the mainland.

The dry food they had brought with them had bottomed out. So the two of them had a big meal in an inconspicuous little restaurant.

At the beginning, Dong Xinping was worried about whether the food would be poisoned. When he listened to Hanguang's words, he enjoyed it with confidence.

Hanguang told him that Gongzi Qingqian told him when he left: eat and live in the cheapest places in the streets and alleys. No one would have thought that Gongzi Qingqian, one of the four major families in the capital, would come to such a place. So, it's the safest there.

Childe is right. Dong Xinping and Hanguang went to Nanchuan's mansion smoothly.

Liu Chong, the master of the government office, heard the news from the yamen and hurriedly greeted him.

"Are you prefects all right?" Dong Xin asked with a flat face.

"Childe doesn't know! Those Diao people are merciless! The prefect is not lightly injured! His words fell. The prefect Han Chun stood in front of the second gate of the yamen with the support of a quick catch. He was covered in sackcloth, and he did look a little miserable.

Hanguang couldn't help but turn her head and snicker. This prefect is too sloppy!

"That's it! You might as well go back and get some rest! I'll call your way! "Dong Xinping is really decent!

Hanguang had to admire him in his heart. The task given to him by Gongzi Qingqian is to protect Dong Xinping.

Dong Xinping ate lunch and began to ask about the incident. Master Liu Chong may be because of his age! He cried with a handful of snot and tears.

The incident began with an accident. A catcher is chasing a thief on the street and accidentally knocks down a pregnant woman. In the words of the catcher, the pregnant woman came out of nowhere. With his skills, it is impossible to bump into someone, let alone a pregnant woman.

But the facts are there, how can he be allowed to quibble? So, the thief was not caught, but Li Xing was arrested but was accused of going to court.

Prefect Han Chun still has some experience in adjudicating cases. He investigated the cause of the incident clearly. The presence of a pregnant woman was a complete accident! So he sentenced Li Xing to pay some silver taels.

Li Xing, as a fast catcher, although he was wronged, but in order not to expand the situation, he had to take out the savings he had accumulated over the years.

It stands to reason that such a verdict is not in any way contrary to the law! Unexpectedly, the pregnant woman died in childbirth shortly after. Her family remembered the incident and made a fuss in court.

Han Chun took matters into his own hands and imprisoned the two pregnant women and brothers who made trouble for the crime of roaring in court.

He just wanted to detain them for a few days, and then let them go. Unexpectedly, the pregnant woman's husband gathered some people outside the yamen to ask for the release of the imprisoned people and punish the official Li Chong.

According to the words of the prefect Han Chun, this makes no sense at all! But he was forced to release the people and imprison Li Chong.

The matter does not end there. The families of the deceased demanded their lives! Governor Han Chun is willing to agree? First, Li Chong is a good catcher. Second, even if Li Chong collided with a pregnant woman, it was an unintentional mistake in the process of handling the case, and the crime was not to death. The pregnant woman died in childbirth, and it was illegal to detain Li Chong, so how could she abuse the punishment?

"These people! Is there still a king law in his eyes! "Dong Xinping took the case!

"Ask Gongzi to think of a way, turn big things into small things, turn small things into small things, and give Li Zhu a fair time!" Master wiped his eyes.

"I still need to check! Stand down! Dong Xinping sat down slowly. He's not an impulsive person. He was waiting for Gongzi Qingqian to come to him. He knew that Gongzi Qingqian must have gone to investigate the matter in private.

Gongzi Qingqian and Yao Tong have also come to Nanchuan. They stayed at the Honglai Inn. It was the street where Li Zhu was about to hit a pregnant woman.

The streets are spacious and the shops are very neat. There are three forks in the street. On the side of the second fork in the road there was an old man selling baked cakes.

At the third fork in the road is an inn called "Jingyang". Next to the inn is the Fulai Restaurant, where a wine flag is erected.

"Childe! What do you see? Yao Tong brought the tea set.

Childe Qingqian sat down and began to cook tea by himself. At this time, he remembered Rouxin. If only she were there, she wouldn't have to work so hard. The image of Rouxin as she cooks tea appears in his mind.

"Childe is thinking about the soft-hearted girl!" Yao Tong looked at Gongzi Qingqian, holding the spoon handle in his hand and didn't move for a long time.

"Poor mouth!" Childe's shallow thoughts were pulled back.
