"I don't know about Wang Dezhong's matter, so it's better to do this, I'll introduce you to a friend and let him handle it for you."

After speaking, Li Dazhuang pointed to a dark shadow in the distance and shouted, "Hey, Xiao Er, come on."

As soon as the words fell, I heard a loud bang.

A thin man in coarse linen clothes came from a distance, and when he saw Li Dazhuang and Qin Fan, his eyes immediately widened.

This is the cook of the Drunken Immortal Residence, named Wang Zhi.

At this time, Wang Zhi was cooking, and when he heard Li Dazhuang's call, he hurriedly ran over.

"What do you command?"

Li Dazhuang opened his mouth and introduced, "Do you know this Qin Fan County Commander?"

"Of course I do. He's a big man in Qingzhou City, how could I not know him."

Wang Zhi replied respectfully, but then his eyes looked at the gold coin in Qin Fan's hand, with a salivating look.

"It's... This is the gold coin you gave to this county magistrate, uncle?"

"Yes, you can tell Wang Dezhong where he is." Li Dazhuang nodded.

"Okay, I'll take him there." Wang Zhi agreed, then turned his head to look at Qin Fan, and smiled flatteringly: "County Order, please come with me."

"Thank you."

Qin Fan replied lightly, then handed over the gold coin to Wang Zhi, and then followed behind him.

After Wang Zhi led the way through a desolate meadow, he finally stopped at the door of a dilapidated hut.

"This is it." Wang Zhi pointed to the hut road.

Qin Fan nodded, raised his feet and walked in, and then Wang Zhi closed the door and left.

in a hut.

Wang Dezhong was lying on the bed, snoring deafeningly, and there were all kinds of delicacies on the table next to him, and the fragrance came from time to time.

Seeing this, Qin Fan frowned slightly, this guy still has the heart to enjoy it? No wonder they were caught in jail.

"Qin Fan County Order, why are you here?"

Wang Dezhong suddenly woke up, opened his sleepy eyes, and looked at Qin Fan in a daze.

"Do you remember who saved you last night?" Qin Fan asked.

Wang Dezhong rubbed his eyes and thought carefully for a long time before he said.

"I remember, you're the young man who came last night, right? I owe you a drink, and I don't have a chance to treat you."

"But there is no way, I committed a felony last night, I'm afraid I'm going to be sentenced to death."

Hearing this, Qin Fan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then asked, "What crime did you commit?"

Wang Dezhong looked around, and then lowered his voice and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal."

"Speaking out opened my eyes too." Qin Fan smiled faintly.

Wang Dezhong looked left and right, and found that there was no one, so he said slowly.

"I stole the precious son of the city lord of Qinglong City this morning, and I was caught by the city guards, and they wanted me to pay for my life."

"What? Stealing the Lord's treasure?"

Qin Fan's pupils shrank sharply, and he looked at Wang Dezhong in surprise.

"Wang Dezhong, you are too bold, you dare to do this kind of thing."

"There's no way, those city guards are really too deceitful, if it weren't for my cleverness, they would have been arrested and beheaded."

Wang Dezhong smiled, and suddenly thought of something as he spoke, and his face changed suddenly.

"I remember." Wang Dezhong said eagerly.

"What do you remember?" Qin Fan frowned slightly, and asked suspiciously.

Wang Dezhong looked around and lowered his voice.

"That's... Qin County Order... Can you take a step to speak?"

"yes, okay."

Qin Fan nodded, then followed Wang Dezhong to the side, and said in a low voice.

"Say it."

Wang Dezhong said: "Last night, someone sneaked in, poured poison on me, and then threw me into the lake, and I was scared to pee, so I swam desperately."

"But it didn't work, those poisons were made of unknown materials, and they would corrode people's skin, bones, and tendons."

"Finally I felt exhausted and drowning and suffocating, and I saw you appear in front of me in a moment of despair.

At that time, I thought you were my honored guest, so I was very warm to you.

In the end, it turned out to be a trap, you gave me that bowl of soup, and then you threw me into the pond and left."

"I see." Qin Fan nodded.

"Qin County Order......." Wang Dezhong looked at Qin Fan's face and spoke.

"Can you help me with this?"

Qin Fan smiled when he heard this, "I'm not the kind of person who can't be saved when he sees death."

Hearing this, Wang Dezhong's eyes flashed with joy, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground and pleaded.

"As long as the county commander is willing to save me, no matter what you ask, I will agree."

Qin Fan waved his hand: "Get up, don't worry, since I said I would help you, I naturally won't break my word."

Wang Dezhong stood up and immediately recounted yesterday's events in detail, including the identity of the leader of the city guard and so on.

After listening to his story, Qin Fan secretly sneered in his heart, this Wang Dezhong was extremely stupid.

He did not lie, Wang Dezhong was indeed captured by the city guard because he coveted his beauty.

And this leader of the city guard army is the one Qin Fan once met, the commander of the city guard army who made enemies with him at the beginning, Wang Zhi's father.

This Wang Zhi's father and mother are all from poor families, and they live in poverty on weekdays.

But Wang Dezhong is a person who eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and has countless gambling debts outside.

Every time, he had to rely on Wang Zhi to borrow money, and then he could escape the pursuit of the city guards.

Yesterday, the leader of the city guard learned that Wang Dezhong had fled, so he sent people to search for Wang Dezhong nearby, and sent many people to surround Wang Dezhong.

Wang Dezhong had no choice but to tell his parents about it.

The leader of the city guard, in a fit of rage, drove out the family and slaughtered them all.

But Wang Dezhong's luck was still relatively good, and he ran into Qin Fan, so he survived.

Of course, Qin Fan didn't know this.

After Wang Dezhong's story was told, he looked at Qin Fan and asked.

"Qin County Order, is what I said false?"

"Wang Dezhong, I advise you not to gamble in the future, I will deal with this matter, you can stay here in peace and wait for the court's verdict."

Qin Fan said lightly.

Hearing Qin Fan's assurance, Wang Dezhong was immediately overjoyed: "Thank you Qin County Order, I will definitely keep my promise and wait for the good news of the County Order."

Qin Fan didn't speak, turned around and left.

Looking at Qin Fan's back as he left, Wang Dezhong's face flashed with excitement.

"Qin Fan, you are the most handsome young man I have ever seen, as long as you can protect our family, then I will definitely swear allegiance."

Qin Fan walked out of the broken temple, but his mood was extremely heavy.

He thought it was just a simple kidnapping case, but he didn't expect it to involve the struggle of the three major forces in the Qingzhou Continent.

If it was just an ordinary kidnapping case, Qin Fan could easily solve it.

But this matter obviously involves the competition of interests in Datang, and it is not so easy for him.
