The county magistrate stood up and walked out, and the county magistrate's wife also stood up, and subconsciously followed two steps before returning to his senses and stopping.

"What's going on?"

The housekeeper replied while accompanying the county lord outside, "The specific situation is not clear, and a servant just came to report that the third prince had tortured the shopkeeper of Wei." ”

The county magistrate's head was buzzing, and when the guards sent him a message today, he knew that it was not good for the third prince to leave the shopkeeper of Wei. But he thought that at most, it would be an interrogation, and he wanted the three princes to be tortured.

"Master, what should I do?"

The butler followed him from a very early age, and he was also anxious when he heard the report of the servant. If there is really anything wrong with the shopkeeper Wei, the master's official career will really come to an end.

Where did the county magistrate know what to do, he just subconsciously walked to the side of the cell, no matter what, he must stop the third prince.

Before they reached the cell, the two heard screams.

The county magistrate's heart tightened, and he trotted up regardless of his image, ran to the door of the torture room in one breath, and pushed the door open, "Three princes, keep ...... under your hands"

Before he finished speaking, he gasped in shock when he saw the tragic situation of the shopkeeper Wei.

The skin of the shopkeeper Wei was beaten, and blood flowed out of his wounds, and even the ones under his feet were stained red.

The county magistrate walked over quickly and blocked in front of the shopkeeper Wei, "Third prince, you can't fight anymore!" ”

"Get out of here!"

The county prince knelt down, "The third prince thinks twice, although the Gu family is not afraid, but we can't afford to provoke the old man, if he goes back to sue you in front of the emperor, you will come to Qingping County in vain!" ”

"How can it come in vain?"

The third prince's eyes were full of anger, Wei Ning, who he was going to fight today, gave in and confessed Gu Yi's true identity.

"I have investigated, before the old gentleman gave a lecture, he went to deliver food to the old gentleman several times, and the poison was given by him at that time."

The county master was stunned, and subconsciously looked back at the shopkeeper Wei.

Shopkeeper Wei shook his head with difficulty, "No, it's not me!" ”

"I said yes, and then tortured me until he did."

"No!"

The county magistrate is out of the way, and he has to protect the shopkeeper Wei no matter what, "This is just a one-sided statement, and there is no evidence." ”

"Bastard, I said that he ordered it, and he ordered it, what evidence do you need?"

"Evidence is needed naturally, otherwise you are abusing lynching!"

The third prince was angry and smoked, and waved at the guards, "Pull him down!" ”

The guard lifted him up easily, threw him out the door, and slammed it shut.

Several officials outside the door were startled, and were about to step forward to help, but the county magistrate got up and slapped the door hard, "Third prince, think twice, think twice!" ”

In response to him was the screams of the shopkeeper Wei.

The county magistrate shot harder.

The three princes turned a deaf ear.

The county lord turned around and ran out, until he ran to the courtyard of Duke Qi Guo, knelt down, and said eagerly, "Grandpa Guo, you go and persuade the third prince, if you really beat the shopkeeper Wei to death, none of us will be able to explain." ”

Qi Guocheng was drinking tea leisurely in the house, and when he heard this, he only paused for a moment, ignored him, and continued to drink tea.

Today, let the woman named Xiuzhen rush into Gu Qian, originally I wanted her to take the opportunity to pull Gu Qian's beard to see if it was fake, but Gu Qian revealed herself, and now they only need to get Wei Xing's confession, and they can go to take people openly.

"Grandpa Guo, please go and persuade the third prince......"

The county magistrate snorted higher than a voice.

Qi Guogong was impatient to hear this, so he slowly put down the teacup, got up and walked out, and just arrived at the door, a rush of footsteps ran into the courtyard.

The official turned pale with a white face, "My lord, it's not good, the shopkeeper Wei is dead!" “

The county magistrate buzzed in his head, and he wanted to get up, but found that his hands and feet were weak.

Qi Guogong was also stunned, and then strode out, "What did you say?" ”

"Wei, Wei's shopkeeper was killed!"

"How could it be!"

Qi Guogong walked briskly to the cell.

The county magistrate wanted to keep up, but he didn't get up after climbing a few times, so he picked him up in front of the mountain and stumbled behind Qi Guogong to the torture room.

Shopkeeper Wei was lying on the ground, and the blood stains on his body stained the ground red.

The third prince was furious, "Waste, I let you force confessions, not let you beat people to death!" ”

The two guards knelt in front of him, their heads bowed, and they didn't dare to come out.

"Go and call the Imperial Doctor!"

Qi Guogong commanded.

The official let go of the county magistrate, turned around and rushed to call the imperial doctor.

The two imperial doctors had already slept, and they were called up in a hurry, and without even buttoning them, they rushed with the medicine box on their backs. Seeing the tragic situation of Shopkeeper Wei, he gasped.

"What are you doing in a daze, save people!"

The anger of the three princes can tear off the roof.

The two imperial doctors hurriedly squatted down, one to probe the snort and carotid artery, and the other to the pulse, and the moment their fingers touched the shopkeeper Wei, the two glanced at each other.

"How?"

Qi Guogong asked eagerly.

Looking at the appearance of the third prince, you can know that the shopkeeper Wei did not confess. If people are really dead, they really can't explain to the old gentleman.

Both of them let go of their hands at the same time and stepped back a bit, shaking their heads at the same time.

Qi Guogong's eyes darkened.

The third prince was even more angry, "How come? It was just a few lashes on him. “

The two imperial doctors didn't dare to say anything.

"Rubbish!"

The three princes kicked one of the guards in the head.

Qi Guogong calmed himself down, since the person was dead, they had to find a reason to cover up the past.

"Qingping County ......"

The county master was already stupid and didn't react.

Qi Guogong frowned and shouted again.

The county magistrate looked up at Qi Guogong in a daze, and there were only two words in his mind, "It's over."

It's really over this time.

"Send someone to ...... him quickly"

I wanted to tell him to throw people to mass graves, but I was afraid that people would find out, "You send people to the mountains quickly!" ”

As long as the beast is fed and there are no bones left, no one can find it.

"Country, Grandpa ......"

The county magistrate was trembling and speechless.

"Don't worry, with the prince and the third prince here, keep you safe, you just do what I tell you to do."

The county master's lips trembled violently.

Qi Guogong saw it in his eyes, scolded a word of waste, and looked at the guards kneeling in front of the third prince, "You two, throw people to the mountain!" ”

The two guards hurriedly responded, got up and walked over, lifted the shopkeeper Wei and walked out.

"Wait, get something to cover up!"

One of the guards found a sack, put the shopkeeper Wei in it, and carried the two out.

"Qingping County!"

Qi Guogong said in a stern voice, his eyes swept over the group of officials and county magistrates, "When you get out of this door, you will forget everything you just saw!" Tomorrow morning I went out to spread the news that he had escaped from prison! ”
