That doesn't excuse you from reading the sages in vain!"

The Governor raised his voice in vain, walked up to Cao Xianling, and punched him in the chest.

The prefectural commander was not well injured, and he fell to the ground after being punched, but he quickly got up. It can be seen that the Governor's punch is not really strong. The county commander patted his ass and said again: "But no matter what, Lao Liu, I'm sorry, I still have to apologize to you seriously." It's an old friend who doesn't do it authentically. But don't worry, my sister-in-law is safe now, and she doesn't lack anything else except that she can't go out shopping. ”

The Governor had received a letter yesterday from Madame, and in the morning a stone had been thrown into the courtyard. The contents of the letter were written by the lady herself. Mrs. said in the letter, please husband, don't worry, everything is good here, except for no freedom, they will meet whatever they want, and the food and accommodation are very good. So this also confirms what Cao Xianling just said.

The Governor sneered, "It's not an exaggeration to die a hundred times like you, and it's in vain that I've treated you as a close friend for so many years." ”

"You're right, I'm not worthy to be your friend, but if it weren't for this, we would still be friends for life. "The county lord did the kidnapping of his friend's wife, and he still felt a little guilty in his heart after all.

"No, I now know that what you told me in the past what you thought was true, but in fact it was all false. You said that no matter what kind of difficulties people face, they must have ethics, the ethics of Confucianism, the humility of students, and the ideals of helping the world... But you don't think so at all in your heart, everything is just your disguise! You are so good at disguise, I, Liu, do not want or dare to be friends with such a person for life!"

But there are no ifs in life, so the governor and the county magistrate, who have made so many friends, did not expect to come to this point.

So people can't stand the test, and you will never know what the people close to you are like unless something special happens, even though you may have known each other for ten or twenty Chinese New Year's Eve years.

"I saw that your situation was wrong when we met last time, it turned out that it was because of this matter, you could have confessed to me at that time, maybe I could still think of a way for you. The Governor shook his head and sighed regretfully.

Cao Xianling smiled bitterly.

Both sat down and drank their teacups.

After a long silence, the governor said, "To put it mildly, do you have any bandits, and have you teamed up with the Iron Head Gang to get money from the people of Bazhong City?"

Cao Xianling did not speak.

In the eyes of the Governor, not speaking is a tacit acquiescence. The Governor gritted his teeth, couldn't help but kick Cao Xianling across the table, and said: "When we were classmates back then, in the school, what did you say? The teacher said that you may not be able to be a big official in the future, but you will definitely be able to be an official who does things for the people, and you can be a good official. But now? Have you read all those books in vain? I think you are a good functional, I was still trying to find a relationship to transfer you out a few days ago, and I even wanted to give you my position..."

Cao Xian Ling could only shake his head and sigh when he heard the governor say these words, not knowing what to say, and only said after a long time: "I have no choice but to be poor..."

I don't know if this sentence is the most fundamental reason or Cao Xianling just wants to say this sentence.

The Governor could still say something, and after talking for a while, he suddenly felt bored. When you scold, people don't talk back, and they always reply to you with the same two sentences, then you are destined to not want to scold soon.

The Governor took a few sips of tea and asked, "Then what would you do if I enforced the law impartially?" Just like when you buy something, first you say a very low price, although you know that the other party will not accept it, but you still have to report this price.

Cao Xianling also took a sip of tea and said, "I won't do anything, I won't hurt my sister-in-law." ”

When he spoke, Cao Xian Ling had no expression, and no one could see any change in his expression even if he was lying on his face.

The Governor raised his eyebrows, and did not speak for a moment. Of course he didn't believe it, and he definitely couldn't believe it. This is ten out of ten is the backword of the county order, if he really enforces the law impartially, this crazy Cao county order will definitely hurt Mrs. immediately. If he really did not hurt his wife no matter what the governor did, as he himself said, then why did he kidnap her?

Therefore, this answer of the prefectural order was a naked threat to the Governor's ears. What Cao Xian's order wants to express is: Do you still need to ask? Will I give you back a lively governor's wife? Is it that you are too beautiful or that I have something wrong with my brain?

But the Governor wouldn't say who the you were blinded to, he just said noncommittally, "Thank you so much." ”

A gust of wind suddenly blew in the courtyard, and some of the spring flowers were blown to the ground, rolling, and some rolled into the hall, as if they were unwilling to accept the fate of turning into spring mud, but they would eventually be swept out of the hall.

And from this moment on, the relationship between these decades-old friends was officially severed.

At this point, the two are left to guard against each other, and there is no friendship like confidants.

The governor recognized the true appearance of the other party, and there was no way to accept him anymore, and Cao Xianling didn't believe in anyone at this time, only himself. Both of them already know that there is no need to mention feelings anymore, they can only talk about interests.

What the Governor wants is for his wife to come back safely, and what Cao County wants is for the Governor to let him go.

"My lord, what do you think is the best thing to do?" From this moment, begin. Cao Xian Ling was the first to speak, throwing the question to the governor.

"Tell me what you think, and I'll hear it. The Governor threw the question back.

Cao Xianling thought for a while and said: "What I want is very simple, nothing more than to make this matter a big thing a small matter, it mainly depends on what the adults do, after all, it is I who need the adults to lend a hand, not me to save myself, if I can save myself, I will not trouble the adults." "It is tantamount to throwing the question to the Governor again, but at the same time, he is also saying indisputable facts.

The governor nodded and said, "Actually, there is not much I can do, first of all, I must ensure my own safety, I can't use my black yarn hat and the lives of the whole family to save you, that's not realistic." I can only save you if I am safe. ”
