Zhu Chen galloped quickly.

Although his equestrian skills are exquisite, they are still a little worse than the two Tie Hanhan.

But it can be seen that under the guidance of the old man, Zhu Chen's equestrian progress is so fast.

When he was about to walk into a forest, a red figure appeared on the avenue ahead.

The red dress, standing in the center, with a smile, looked into the distance.

The wind in the early morning was cold, blowing the edges and corners of the red dress, blowing her like a fairy descending to earth, standing there, it was a fairy spirit.

With a delicate face, Qianqian's jade fingers seem to be stirring the cold wind, and her steps are light and smart, she is a real fairy.

As the sound of the horse's hooves got closer and closer, her eyes gradually reflected the face of her sweetheart.

The crescent moon couldn't stop bending.

Her smile grew.

Slim and elegant, he saluted on the spot: "Son, my father entrusted me to go to Hangzhou to deal with affairs, can you give me a ride?" ”

The fast horse galloped over, and when he saw the red dress, it was particularly delicate.

Zhu Chen's face was slightly stunned: "Qingqiu? ”

The little red dress smiled and stretched out her slender hand towards Zhu Chen.

Zhu Chen didn't hesitate, stretched out his hand, firmly grasped her hand during the gallop of the fast horse, and the fragrant wind pulled her onto the horse and sat in front of him.

Surrounding the slender waist, Zhu Chen's horse galloped away.

Behind him, the old bride in her fifties ran out, looked at the galloping and fluttering red dress, and couldn't help but pause: "Evil, evil." ”

"The master will kill me."

……

At that time.

Hangzhou.

This place has been locked down for a long time.

However, when the news of the imperial court came out, the Hangzhou officials were completely panicked.

The servant of the ministry was beheaded.

Even the servants couldn't keep them.

And the prince also sent the world-famous Zhu to Hangzhou, intending to cleanse them.

This Zhu case leader has a great reputation, but it is rumored that he is just a stinky boy who has not dried up.

When Hangzhou Tongzhi was in a panic, he immediately summoned Hangzhou officials and gentry to gather together to discuss.

They knew that when Zhu Chen came, they would definitely be full of people, so they had to think of countermeasures now.

Hang Zhou Tongzhi sat in the lobby of his home, looking at everyone, his face gloomy.

"Everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, if anyone dares to sue, don't blame me for being unkind."

Officials shook their heads.

Judge Hang Zhou said in a panic: "Lord Cao, think of a way." ”

Cao Tongzhi's eyes were cold: "Pretend to be crazy and stupid!" ”

Historically, there have been countless people who have escaped by pretending to be crazy and stupid.

The current emperor also used to pretend to be crazy and stupid.

It's stupid, but it's the best way to go.

If they are really deceived, the most they will do is suffer some sin, send them to the border, and rely on the relationship between the court and the inside, and they can come back.

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Judge Hang Zhoutong said worriedly: "What if Zhu Chen doesn't believe it?" ”

"As long as we act like it, we are not afraid that he will not believe it." Cao Tongzhi sneered.

"What if we pretend to be crazy and stupid, and he still won't let us go?" Hangzhou Tongju was busy.

Cao Tongzhi took a deep breath: "If he doesn't believe it anymore, then slaughter him!" ”

"Wandering the world, it's better than escorting the capital, right?"

The officials were silent, their hearts pounding.

At the moment, I can only do what Cao Tongzhi said.

They have been driven to the extreme, if the head of the Zhu case doesn't know each other, they will slaughter him!

The barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes.

Cao Tongzhi glanced at everyone: "Okay, let's go back, I'll go to the prison to find Xu Jinyi, as long as he is willing to change his confession, then the head of the Zhu case can't help us." ”

After that, everyone went out of Cao's house together.

After Cao Tongzhi sent everyone away, he hurried to the prison alone.

……

In the Hangzhou prison, more than 20 prisoners sat together, full of embarrassment.

One of them had his ears cut off, some had his nose cut off, and some had his legs discounted.

Xu Jinyi, as the grandson of Xu Lao, may be the worst.

He didn't have any disability on his body, but he had tattoos on his face.

Thief!

The descendant of the dignified old man was engraved with the word thief on his face.

He can't wash it away in his life, and he can't wash away this humiliation unless he rips off his face.

In the past few days of torture, Xu Jinyi's spirit has also been worn away, and there is more or less a trace of despair in his eyes.

The same is true of the other inmates.

Hearing the sound of footsteps outside, the prisoners immediately surrounded Xu Jinyi in the middle, for fear that he would be hurt again.

"Xu Jinyi, Lord Xu." There was laughter outside.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Tongzhi came.

He walked briskly, and immediately had the cell open and walk in.

The prisoners' faces turned pale, and they roared angrily: "Who are you going to take today?" ”

Cao Tongzhi smiled: "No one will open the knife, this is all done by Hangzhoutong, I am a good person, as long as Lord Xu and you are willing to admit that I am a good person, I will let you go." ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the prisoners changed.

"Cao thief, what kind of tricks do you have?"

"I want us to admit that you are a good person, unless my teacher returns to the world."

"Die!"

The inmates spat on one by one.

But Xu Jinyi, who was surrounded in the middle, thought of a possibility.

It must have been Chen Xun who escaped, attracting people from the imperial court to handle the case, and now Cao Tongzhi is afraid.

It must be so, otherwise how would he have come to beg himself?

Xu Jinyi gradually stood up and looked at Cao Tongzhi: "Do you want us to say good things for you?" ”

Cao Tongzhi smiled: "Yes, yes, as long as you say good things, I will give you half of my life savings." ”

Xu Jinyi sneered, his eyes were resolute: "You tattooed me as a thief, wrote this great humiliation on my face, and now you want me to say good things for you?" ”

Cao Tongzhi smiled: "Yes." ”

Xu Jinyi's eyes showed hatred: "My grandfather Xu Xu was a scholar of the Hanlin Academy of the Dynasty, crowned Taishi, nicknamed Wenzhong, and awarded the Zhuguo, but you stabbed me in the face as a thief, and you ruined the honor of the Xu family." ”

"If you want me to speak for you, it can't be."

Cao Tongzhi took a deep breath: "The person sent by the imperial court is the head of the Zhu case, he is your friend, right?" If he doesn't let me go, I'll kill him! ”

Xu Jinyi shook his head: "Scholars refuse to go along with the same stream until they die, and I think the same is true for Zhu." ”

Cao Tongzhi's eyes were cold, he was angry, and ordered the officials beside him: "Beat, give me a hard beating, beat them to death." ”

With that, he slammed the door and left.

The officials immediately rolled up their sleeves, grabbed their whips, and beat them violently.

The prisoners were beaten to the ground, but one by one they lay on the ground, crying bitterly.

"Senior brothers, did you hear that?"

"Case Chief Zhu is here, he is here, he will definitely be able to save us and the whole of Hangzhou."

"Case Chief Zhu, we are waiting for you in Hangzhou."

In their eyes, Zhu was a respected peer, so they were ecstatic when Zhu Chen came to deal with the case.

Xu Jinyi also ignited hope, and made a deep gesture in the direction of Ying Tianfu: "Case Chief Zhu, come quickly......"

The people of Hangzhou are waiting for you, and we are waiting for you.

The figure of that young man became clearer and clearer in the eyes of the prisoners.

Hearing the news of Zhu Chen's coming, it was probably their only ray of light in despair, because that young man was a god-like existence.
