But after thinking about it, Governor Li felt that this was wrong, if this continued, those merchants would jointly appeal sooner or later, and when the matter became bigger, it was he who was embarrassed, and what if he couldn't hold it?

Governor Li's mind was spinning quickly, and after thinking for a while, he still decided to cut through the mess quickly, and he went to the dungeon to interrogate Zhongli in person, and he must solve the problem before the matter became a big one.

After making up his mind, Governor Li tidied up his clothes and took a few servants to the dungeon.

In the cell, Zhongli sat indifferently on the bed, not looking like he was in prison, but like he was sitting in a gorgeous house, this discovery made Li Zhifu almost vomit blood, he snorted coldly, cleared his throat, and strode over, looking at the man who was not tall and had a fair face like a woman, and couldn't help frowning.

This person is Zhongli? You can't catch the wrong person, right? He stopped where he was, not moving forward.

Zhongli heard the footsteps, looked up at Governor Li and the two officials behind him, and said, "Governor Li is really good, he actually has time to come and see me." Let Zhong be moved. ”

Governor Li pulled the corners of his lips coldly, but he was very depressed in his heart. Now in terms of the identities of the two of them, they are the ones in charge, right? And Zhongli is just a prisoner of his own ranks, why is he so arrogant?

"It seems that Second Prince Zhong lives well here." Governor Li glanced at Zhongli, who didn't intend to say anything, and walked over slowly, looking at Zhongli condescendingly, his expression a little gloomy.

"It's really good, at least there are no snakes, insects, rats and ants." Zhongli said indifferently.

"Hehe, of course there won't be here." Governor Li's face was ugly for a while, he believed that Zhong Li must have seen her intention, but she pretended not to know, he coughed dryly, and spoke directly, "Presumably Zhong Gongzi knows what I want to say, right?" ”

Zhongli snorted coldly, glanced at the other party, and couldn't help frowning and shaking his head, "I'm sorry, Governor Li, I heard that the crime you gave me was colluding with foreign enemies and collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country." You should show me the human and physical evidence, otherwise I will never admit it. He didn't know that Zhao Yiyan was not there now, so he got up and looked at the other party coldly, and tugged at the corners of his lips with a gloomy expression, "You know, the county official is not as good as the current management, isn't it?" ”

What if he had a master? He is now standing on Zhao Yiyan's ground.

Li Zhifu snorted coldly, the anger in his heart slowly climbed, he looked at Zhongli coldly, sneered and said disdainfully: "Hmph, do you think that the prince is here, I dare to do such a thing?" You can rest assured, before the prince returns, I will definitely finish this matter. ”

Zhong Li's expression changed suddenly, he had done so many things to be close to Zhao Yiyan before, undoubtedly for the protection of the other party, but he didn't expect that the other party was determined to deal with him, and he dared to even calculate Zhao Yiyan!

Looking at Zhongli's face with a changed expression, Governor Li laughed, moved a chair and sat in front of Zhongli across the prison, took a leisurely sip of tea, and then raised his eyes to look at the other party, "Everyone understands people, you should know what I want, right?" If you hand it over, maybe I'll be able to open the net, how about it? ”

"I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about, Governor Li, after all, I'm not a roundworm in your stomach, I don't know what dirty things you're thinking." Zhongli was still very indifferent, and he didn't panic at all because he was in prison.

Because he knew that even if he was flustered at this time, it would be useless, but let the other party see the joke.

Governor Li scolded Zhongli in his heart, and his eyes suddenly became gloomy, "The New Year is coming soon, is it better for the second son to go home and have a good New Year with his family?" ”

Only then did Zhong Li stand up, stared at Li Zhifu and said: "Lord Prefect, the matter of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country is not a trivial matter, you must find out clearly, otherwise I, Zhong, will have this crime on my back, and I will not feel at ease this year." Besides, if I give something, can you let me go? Not necessarily, right? ”

In the face of Zhongli's aggressiveness, the corners of Governor Li's mouth twitched, but the matter had come to this point, and he couldn't back down, and continued: "This matter has been investigated, it's a villain's words, and I hope the second son doesn't mind." As for the crime, it is naturally a non-existent matter. As soon as you hand over those things, I'll let you go. ”

"Villain?" Zhongli looked at Governor Li with a smile, "Who is this villain, Governor Li has to find him out and deal with him, otherwise, he will make up even more ridiculous remarks in the future, and it will be Governor Li who will suffer." As for the stuff, let's say. ”

Li Zhifu's eyes sank, and his face was so black that he could almost drip water, Zhongli's empty hand and white wolf could play well.

It's easy to say, and you have to have a good way.

Zhongli pretended not to see his expression, turned around and sat on the bed, "But the conditions here are really not good, I am innocent of being implicated now, and I hope that Governor Li will let my personal servant bring me some bedding and food." The attitude is naturally like she is the master here, which makes the corners of Governor Li's mouth twitch again, but now that he wants to get that thing, he must satisfy him first.

"Second son, don't worry, I will definitely meet your requirements." Judging from what he said just now, she didn't want to leave here at all, Zhongli didn't want to leave, he gritted his teeth, and had to turn around and leave the cell in a huff, walking out of the door of the dungeon, his face full of anger.

But he didn't dare to do anything to Zhongli, before he came here, he thought about solving Zhongli. But just now, Zhongli reminded him that the county official might as well be in charge. Even if his master can protect himself, but he is now in the land of King Qingyang, and when the other party gets angry and deals with him, the emperor probably won't say anything, so he can only salute first and then soldier. This time, he was able to arrest Zhongli because of the robbers, otherwise he wouldn't dare to do anything to Zhongli under Zhao Yiyan's nose.

But this Zhongli is not a soft persimmon, thinking of Zhongli's words just now, Governor Li felt sick in his heart. It's just that he has already made a plan in his heart, if he persuades the other party with good words and still insists on not saying it, he must put the charge of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country on the other party before Zhao Yiyan comes back, so that there is a glimmer of hope to escape the anger of King Qingyang.

But that's not what broke him the most. When he returned to his mansion, as soon as he put down the black gauze hat on his head, a black shadow quietly appeared behind him and said coldly: "Li Chao!" ”

The sudden voice made Li Zhifu tremble, trembling and looking back at the comer, after seeing the comer's clothes clearly, Li Zhifu's face was pale, and he knelt on the ground and said in fear: "Xiaguan has seen the messenger." ”

The man in black glanced at him and said coldly: "The above asked you to do things, and that's how you do things?" The cold tone made Governor Li's face change greatly, and his whole body was almost lying on the ground, "I also asked the envoy to point out the mistakes of the lower officials." "Yes, until now, he didn't know what he was wrong.

"Stupid." The envoy glanced at him in disgust, and said: "The above asked you to arrest Zhongli, but it didn't let you directly kill people, Zhongli has created such a big foundation in just one year, and it is exactly the person the master needs." ”

Hearing this, Governor Li realized where he was wrong, and hurriedly said, "The lower officials don't know." He bent down to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and suddenly came back to his senses, "No, the envoy has misunderstood, Xia Guan has already asked Zhong Gongzi to prepare a good bedding, and he will not let him suffer." ”

At this time, he was glad that he didn't act suddenly just now, but he really didn't know, otherwise he wouldn't have let the Zhong family's people smash the glaze factory.

"Foolish." The envoy glanced at him again and snorted coldly, "You can't wait until after you took Zhongli away, his glass factory has been smashed by several of his brothers!" With that, he leapt into the darkness and disappeared into the darkness.

The envoy walked for a long time, and Li Zhifu collapsed to the ground in a cold sweat, and he didn't dare to get up for a long time, until his most favored concubine pushed the door in, saw him lying on the ground and said busily: "Master, what's wrong with you?" ”

Only then did Governor Li understand that the messenger had left, and he barely propped up his upper body and said, "Help me quickly." ”

The concubine didn't know why, but she still obediently helped him up.

"Tell me to go down, prepare hot water for me, I want to bathe." The arrival of the messenger just now frightened him into a cold sweat, and now his clothes are still wet, and he can't get through without taking a bath.

"Okay." The concubine replied and retreated.

In the room, Governor Li sat on a chair and touched his chin, frowning and pondering. Now that the glaze factory is gone, he will definitely be punished for a crime of disadvantage, he took a lot of effort to climb this high branch, how can he be willing to give up now?

Governor Li sat in front of the window, and the more he thought about it, the more ruthless his eyes became.

Zhongli and Zhao Yiyan have a close relationship, he can not move, but the rest of the Zhong family ......

A trace of killing intent flashed in Governor Li's eyes, and the anger in his heart must be found to spread on the ground, and the rest of the Zhong family is the best shortcut. Thinking of this, Governor Li hurriedly asked people to find the official who was in cahoots with him, and Zhao Zhutou came over.

As long as he takes Zhongli's family, he doesn't believe that Zhongli won't do things for his master, so he won't say anything or do anything when the time comes?

When Governor Li told Zhao Zhutou what he thought in his heart, Zhao Zhutou's face was a little weird, "My lord, is this really okay?" ”

"If there's anything you can't do, do what I say." Governor Li was so angry that he lost his mind, and there was no proof of death when the time came, and in this Canggu City, except for Zhao Yiyan, the biggest official is him, who else dares to trouble him?

was yelled at by Governor Li, Zhao Zhutou didn't dare to speak, and hurriedly retreated.

Zhao Zhutou left the mansion of Governor Li, found his group of fox friends and dogs, and after dressing up in disguise, he went to the Zhong family's Zhuangzi at night.

……

At this time, Rumo was making Zhongli's bed, and when she saw Zhongli sitting in this messy cell, Rumo couldn't help complaining: "Second son, obviously Governor Li has promised to let you go back, why do you still want to stay here?" There was a smell of rot in the air here, he really didn't know what Zhongli thought, he didn't live in a good house, he had to suffer here.

Zhongli shook his head and said nothing, Rumo's consciousness could not understand her behavior. She looked outside, and suddenly saw that there were several fewer jailers than before.

Because there is Zhao Yiyan's garrison army next to this, there are only a dozen officials in Canggu City, and the jailers are also acting as officials, and when they came, Zhongli recognized them all, but now there is no one.

Zhongli's mind was spinning rapidly, and after a while, her face changed suddenly, and she grabbed Rumo, who was still complaining, and said, "Go back quickly, something is going to happen to Zhuangzi." "If they get Zhong Liyu and them, he will naturally be a puppet in the other party's hands.

"Second son, can you let me go first." Rumo was suddenly caught, and her face turned white with fright.

Zhongli let go of him and said eagerly, "You go back and tell them to get ready, hide, hide them all for me." Rumo didn't dare to delay, and immediately hurried back.

Zhongli sat in the cell and walked back and forth, in the icy weather of winter, not only did she not feel cold, but she was sweating all over.

In the night, about a dozen bandits rushed to Zhongli's Zhuangzi with bright knives.

At this time, on the Zhong family's Zhuangzi, Zhong Liyu looked at Zhong Liyu who was instructing and said, "Big brother, why did you call so many people over?" ”

That's right, outside the Zhong family at this time, there were nearby farmers standing everywhere, and they also specially invited a few practitioners who knew kung fu.

"Just in case." Zhong Liyu looked up at the night, because Zhongli was arrested, they couldn't sleep at all, so they didn't sleep collectively, and sat here with a fire in the courtyard.

Zhong Liyu still didn't understand, but Zhong Liyue had already understood, and he said, "Fourth brother, don't quarrel first, if you are sleepy, go to sleep." ”

"I can't sleep." Zhong Liyu sat in front of the fire, thinking about whether Zhong Li would suffer.

Seeing this, they did not force it.

After waiting for a while and not waiting for anything, Zhong Liyu took a few sweet potatoes hidden in the cellar and threw them into the fire, and then lived on the chair and yawned, in the end, it was a child, and it couldn't last long.

Time passed minute by minute, and just when Zhong Liyu was drowsy, there was a noisy sound outside.

Zhong Liyu's face changed, and he said to a few children, "You go to the secret passage and hide." ”

"Big brother, let's not go." Zhong Liyue took the lead, he was a man, how could he always let the eldest sister and the second sister protect them.

"Go!" Zhong Liyu shouted sternly, now is not the time to be a hero.

In the face of Zhong Liyu's anger, Zhong Liyue didn't dare to say anything more, and took his younger brothers and sisters to the secret passage.

Making sure they were all hiding, Zhong Liyu walked upstairs. The moonlight was good tonight, and from here, she could see several people dressed in black with their faces covered approaching Zhuangzi step by step, the knives in their hands glowing coldly in the moonlight.
