In the study room of the City Lord's Mansion that night, a woman with a scar on her face bowed slightly casually, Cheng Jinghu, who was sitting behind the desk, stood up, walked in front of her, looked at her face carefully, and then waved her hand, and Lu Qianming, the housekeeper who had secretly invited people to bring her, gently retreated.

Cheng Jinghu asked with concern: "Shang access control, how did you get the scars on your face?" ”

The merchant gate replied perfunctorily: "Back to the adult, it was the villain who fell when he was young." ”

Cheng Jinghu sighed, turned around and took out a piece of paper from the desk and handed it to her: "Business access control, someone has reported you to this official, you say, what should this official do?" ”

Shang Ai Ban's heart was pounding, and he hurriedly took it and took a quick look, his face turned pale.

"Business access control, you were born in a large family, and you were still running errands in the Yamen, but when you were young, you were cut in the face because you were forced to someone else's husband. Such an evil act should have been punished heavily, but because you bribed the thief Cao Pengshi, not only was he not dismissed and investigated, but he was promoted. Cheng Jinghu said this, and his tone changed, "This official is the imperial court appointed by the imperial court to guard a county, in charge of all the affairs of a county, and is the highest governor of the county. This government has the power to keep it in its hands, and it can not only retain its subordinates because of merit or no fault, but also remove relevant people because of crimes related to crimes! ”

"Your Excellency!" Shang Gate Ban fell to one knee with a thud and lowered his head.

Cheng Jinghu snorted lightly: "All of you think that I came to work alone, and I will definitely not be able to transfer any officials from any official office, right?" ”

The head of the merchant access control hangs lower. Cheng Jinghu walked up to her: "You guys are too underestimating this official!" Not to mention that the official has the official seal in his hand, even if he doesn't, who the official wants to transfer is a matter of one sentence, otherwise why do you think the official has so much confidence to come to office alone, and why does he have the confidence to secretly summon you in the middle of the night and talk to you alone with a person who has been convicted of crimes? ”

The merchant door control even wanted to guess, but he was so frightened that he knelt on his knees and kowtowed again and again: "The villain is guilty, the villain is guilty!" The villain will never do that hurtful thing in the future, ask the adults for forgiveness, ask the adults for forgiveness! ”

"Young and impulsive, it is inevitable to do that kind of thing, but after all, the country has the law, and if you do something wrong, you will have to pay the corresponding price, but," Cheng Jinghu made a turn: "There are favors outside the law, and this official summoned you late at night, just to give you a chance to atone for your sins, are you willing to serve this official?" ”

"The villain willing! The villain is determined to be loyal to the adult, and he will never give up! Shang Gate Control hurriedly said.

"Very good," Cheng Jinghu nodded approvingly: "What the official asked you to do is very simple, pay more attention to some remarks of other officials around you for the official on weekdays, record them when you have the opportunity, and report them to the official in time." ”

"Yes, sir!"

"Don't leak tonight's secret talk to anyone, remember, whether you can be deducted by merit and whether you can be promoted by merit depends on your ability."

"Thank you, sir!"

"Steward Lu, send her out, be careful not to let people see her."

Good means! Chu Han in the Voyeur Mirror Method whispered. In this way, Cheng Jinghu has his own cronies, eyes and ears.

But who quietly handed her the denunciation? And when was it handed to her? Could it have happened after she went to the Shi family?

She is also a mortal, she has to eat, sleep, and do things, and it is impossible to turn on the Speculum Mirror Method for twelve hours around the clock, so there will definitely be something missing. However, there is another possibility: the denunciation letter was written by Cheng Jinghu himself with his left hand.

After the merchant was curfew, Cheng Jinghu went to the dungeon overnight, and the jailer on duty opened the deepest iron cell door according to the order, and the prisoners in prison uniforms were lying on their sides facing the inner wall, their hair was messy like dry grass, and their hands and feet were full of heavy thick iron chains, as long as they moved, they would make a rattling sound.

"Chen Wangbo, get up quickly and knock on the city lord!" The jailer shouted outside the iron prison.

"How many times has the old lady said it, the old lady doesn't know anything, and she won't do anything for the of Qingbat, let her get out of the way." The prisoner's slightly hoarse voice said lightly.

The jailer who didn't dare to go in shouted and scolded outside the door: "Blind your dog can't get up and take a good look, the person standing in front of you is the new city lord Lord Cheng, why don't you hurry up and get up to see you?!" ”

"The new county guard?" Chen Wangbo's head was slightly raised, his shoulders moved, but he still didn't turn around.

"You step back first, and the official will have a good talk with her." Cheng Jinghu sent the jailer away, and after she left, he said in a calm voice, "Chen Wangbo, I am the new county guard, that is, Cheng Jinghu, the new city lord of Shunfeng City, and I came to visit you tonight. ”

Chen Wangbo turned around and sat up in the sound of chains, and glanced at Cheng Jinghu up and down: "You're here, what about the of Qingbat?" ”

Cheng Jinghu looked at her head full of withered grass and a dirty face, and said in the same tone: "Lord Qing has passed away." ”

"Dead?" Chen Wangbo frowned slightly, "How did you die?" ”

"Armed with the Purple Spirit Sword, he attracted the Six Heavenly Xuanwu Venerables, and was killed by them by inadvertently collapsing the house." Cheng Jinghu stated lightly.

"Stoned? Hahaha! Chen Wangbo laughed, his voice shook the entire cell a little, "Retribution, what retribution!" I knew that people like her would not get a good death, but I didn't expect to be stoned to death, hahaha! ”

Cheng Jinghu waited for her to laugh enough, and then took out a thin stack of case files from his sleeve and handed it over through the crack in the iron bar: "This is the charge you drew for detention." ”

Chen Wangbo sat still, stared at her and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Cheng Jinghu saw that she didn't answer, so he withdrew his arm and tore the case file in half in front of her.

Chen Wangbo was slightly surprised: "You ......"

Cheng Jinghu folded the two halves of the paper together again and continued to tear them until they were torn into strips of paper before throwing them in front of her.

The shredded paper scattered in the air fluttered and fell in front of Chen Wangbo's eyes, lying on the ground in front of her body, and there were several pieces on her coiled legs.

She looked down and saw some of the words~~ It was indeed her case, and the red fingerprint was pressed after being put on by the torture coma.

Raising her head, she was puzzled but calm: "Why?" ”

Cheng Jinghu said lightly: "I know that you were wronged, well, or rather, you were deliberately magnified your fault." You originally just injured someone by mistake, but you were accused of attempted murder and resisted arrest, so you aggravated the crime and became a prisoner for life. ”

Chen Wangbo looked at her expressionlessly: "So what? ”

Cheng Jinghu looked back: "So I'm going to let you go and avenge your grievances." ”

Hearing this, Chen Wangbo was not the slightest excited, but fell silent, and then said calmly: "What do you want me to do for you?" ”

Cheng Jinghu smiled: "You were a small mistake, but after staying in this dark place for more than ten years, any mistake can be offset, so you are now a sinless person." Since you are an innocent person, this official can't force you to do anything for me, but your martial arts are so good, there shouldn't be any good place to go out now, so it's better to stay and help this official. ”

Chen Wangbo said lightly: "Just say it." ”

Cheng Jinghu smiled slightly: "Then the official will say it directly." Then his face was straight, "Since ancient times, it has been chivalrous and forbidden, and the warriors of the rivers and lakes have fought at every turn in Shunfeng City, without any scruples, resulting in innocent people either dead or injured, and the official is sad to see, but because he has no power to restrain the chicken, and the yamen has no Tianxuan master, he can only watch the people suffer from disasters, and the official hopes to bring peace to the ordinary people of Shunfeng City, and they need a safe and peaceful living environment." ”

Hearing this, Chen Wangbo couldn't help but be moved: "What adults mean ......"

Cheng Jinghu said: "I want to set up a Shunfeng City inspection and enforcement team, which is specifically responsible for controlling the people in the rivers and lakes, and does not allow them to fight and kill in the city and hurt my people." ”

Chen Wangbo's eyes were blazing: "Do you want the grass people to join the patrol and enforcement team?" ”

Cheng Jinghu said solemnly: "It's not to join, but to be led by you!" ”

Chen Wangbo stood up suddenly: "I'll lead the team? ”

"Yes," Cheng Jinghu looked at her, "This official personally hired Chen Wangbo as the captain of the Shunfeng City inspection and enforcement team, led the team to inspect, and returned the people of Shunfeng City to peace." If you find someone who fights in violation of the new order of the city lord, stop it immediately; where serious injuries are caused, all parties should be taken into custody and brought to trial; If you kill someone to death and resist arrest, the captain has the right to correct the law on the spot! Chen Wangbo, are you willing to accept the appointment of this official? ”

Chen Wangbo hesitated slightly, then knelt down on one knee: "My subordinates accept the personal appointment of the adult, and I am willing to wait for the dispatch of the adult at any time!" ”

"Good!" Cheng Jinghu smiled, "Someone! ”

The jailer immediately rushed over: "What do you command?" ”

Cheng Jinghu said: "Chen Wangbo is released after completing his sentence, immediately open the chains and let her out of prison!" ”

"This ......," the jailer doubted, "My lord, she is still in prison, and if she opens the chains, she will hurt ...... adults."

Cheng Jinghu said: "Don't you understand? She has been released from prison and will not hurt the officer, open it quickly! ”

The jailer glanced at Chen Wangbo, still hesitating.

"Why, isn't this official clear enough?" Cheng Jinghu shouted angrily, "What crime did she commit, and what crime did the yamen convict her, don't you really know when you are the official?" Lord Qing is dead, and now Shunfeng City is up to the officials, if you don't open it again, you will pack up your things and go home tomorrow! ”

"Adults are angry, adults are angry!" The jailer panicked, "Open the door right now!" Unlock now! ”

Chen Wangbo's eyes flashed, but he didn't speak, and when the iron rings on her hands and feet were opened and she was freed, she immediately walked out of the prison door and knelt down on one knee again: "Subordinate Chen Wangbo see your lord!" ”

Subordinate? How did she become a subordinate of the adults? The jailer looked at her in bewilderment, then shrank into the corner.

"Get up."

"Thank you, sir!"

Cheng Jinghu patted her on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I already know everything about your situation, so I know that you are willing to be trapped here because you are disheartened, otherwise, you will not be locked up here at all." After visiting, I learned that the man with whom you had a mutual affection is still unmarried for you. If you do a good job here and get ahead in officialdom, you will increase the chances of success in courtship, and I will also find an opportunity to have a good talk with his mother, and do my best to help you get married. ”

Chen Wangbo was so excited, tears flashed in his eyes, and he knelt down again with a thud: "Thank you, sir!" ”

Cheng Jinghu helped her up, took her out of the prison together, and came to the door of the house that had been arranged: "Rest for a few days first, recuperate your body, and then go to a butcher named He Yun and recruit her into your command." ”

"Yes, sir!" Chen Wangbo responded without asking the reason, and then said, "The subordinates are in good health, it doesn't take that long, one day is enough." ”

"Tianxuanwu Venerable," Cheng Jinghu gently squeezed her arm and said with a smile, "Then you can do it yourself." ”

As he spoke, he took out a folded thin book from his sleeve and handed it to her: "This is your appointment paperwork, put it away." ”

Chen Wangbo hurriedly knelt down on one knee, bowed his head and took it with both hands: "Lord Xie trusts!" ”

Cheng Jinghu looked at her and said sincerely: "I know, martial artists don't like to be bound very much, not to mention that you are still Tianxuan Wuzun, so it should be me thank you for wronging yourself to stay and help me!" ”

Chen Wangbo was moved: "My lord's words are serious! ”

"I'll go first, and you can rest early."

"Greetings, sir!"
