When everyone came to the county office, Hu County's order was also in order, and the case of the day was tried under everyone's supervision.

Especially Ah Niu, who Gu Shengchao cared about, knelt under the hall with shackles.

Ah Niu is burly, chubby and a little honest.

"Adult, villain is wronged." Ah Niu shouted loudly.

"Where does the injustice come from, this county order will make the decision for you." Hu County is righteous and awe-inspiring.

Ah Niu said clearly word by word: "The villain was originally a buddy of Cao Yuanwai Silk Village, and Cao Yuanwai and his wife looked like each other and had different dreams in the same bed, so he made a promise to the villain, as long as he admitted that his wife was killed by me, he would spend money to protect me from death." said that when I came out, he would give the villain silver, and let the villain support his old mother, marry a wife and have children. The villain was confused for a while when he saw the money, but he never expected that Cao Yuanwai would cross the river and demolish the bridge, and when I admitted it, he didn't care, and wanted to borrow the hand of Hu County's order to kill me. I was wronged! ”

Hu Xian Ling looked at Lu Shouwen and Gu Shengchao: "My lords, this matter has nothing to do with me, it is all Cao Yuan's external deception and deception. ”

Gu Shengchao was noncommittal, Cao Yuanwai was dead, and the deception between him and Hu Xianling was a thing of the past, as long as he could return Ah Niu's innocence.

"We are new to here, and Master Hu can handle the case impartially." Lu Shouwen motioned for Hu County's order to continue.

Hu Xianling looked at Ah Niu below: "You deceive the upper and lower levels, the capital crime can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped, you should have beaten a hundred boards to show warning, you are for the old mother of the family and the first offender, let you go today, go home to support the old mother!" ”

Ah Niu thanked him and lifted the shackles and left the lobby.

There are not many cases today, most of them are trivial matters between neighbors, and Hu County's order is impartial and reasonable.

After finishing the official business, Hu County ordered a banquet to entertain everyone.

The meal was just an ordinary family banquet, and Hu Xianling raised his glass and said embarrassedly: "The small county is a poor and remote area, and the products are not abundant, so I can only prepare a little wine to entertain the adults, please forgive me." ”

Lu Shouwen disagreed, and said with some approval: "Since Lord Hu is a local parent official, he should be sympathetic to the difficulties of the people and not be extravagant and wasteful, which is good." ”

"Thank you for your leniency." Hu Xian Ling Cheng was terrified, and the snickering joy that could not be hidden on his face flashed.

After drinking almost the wine, the banquet dispersed, and Hu Xian Ling accompanied the chief and deputy envoys of the mission to drink tea for a while, chatted about some official business, and arranged for the sedan chair man to send everyone back to the inn.

Back at the inn, Lu Shouwen patted Gu Shengchao on the shoulder: "As I saw today, that Hu County Order is also a clear reward and punishment, not like a person who bends the law for personal gain." The banquet was simple, and there was no silver to give us, and the Shengchao brothers seemed to be too worried. ”

"I hope so." Gu Shengchao always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find fault.

At this moment, Tanma reported that the road that had washed out a few days ago had been repaired and was passable.

Looking at the sunny weather, Lu Shouwen said happily: "We have been delayed for many days, notify you, and the team will leave tomorrow." ”

The mission team had been away from their hometown for many days, and they were very happy to see that they were getting closer and closer to the capital, and that the reunion with their families was just around the corner.

Gu Shengchao was concerned about Ah Niu's family, so he called Dong E and Wan Yanxi to visit together.

Ah Niu's mother and Dong E can talk, Gu Shengchao went alone for fear of an embarrassing atmosphere, so he couldn't talk together.

On the way, I bought some fruits and snacks, and Dong E knocked on the door of Ah Niu's house.

"It's you, please come in." Ah Niu's mother was also happy to see Dong E, and held her hand.

The house was still deserted, there was not even boiling water, and the dry firewood next to the stove was still bought by them yesterday and was not used.

"Where's Niu, he's out?" Gu Shengchao complained in his heart that Ah Niu didn't help his mother when he came back.

"What?" Ah Niu's mother didn't seem to understand, "Isn't Ah Niu still in prison, do you think there is a way to save him?" ”

Gu Shengchao was puzzled: "Ah Niu was released in the morning, didn't he go home?" ”

"Impossible." Ah Niu's mother said categorically: "Ah Niu is the most filial, he will never run around, you must have recognized the wrong person." ”

Odd.

Gu Shengchao recalled the morning's experience and confirmed that he would not be mistaken.

"Auntie, I was in the county office in the morning, and I was personally released by the county order, and he won't look away when he's so big."

Ah Niu's mother was relieved: "That is, you really remember wrongly, Ah Niu is only a little taller than me, and the family is poor and never eats, and the child is too hungry." ”

I see.

Gu Shengchao finally knew what he was worried about, it was Hu Xian Ling who deceived them, the real Ah Niu was still in prison, and the one in the morning was fake.

"Auntie rest first, and then we will go to the county government to find out the news."

After saying goodbye to Ah Niu's mother, Gu Shengchao and Dong E explained the situation, and planned to go to the county government alone to find Hu Xianling to settle accounts.

"No, I'll go with Sister Wanyan with you, I've learned the skills now, and I won't fill in the mess for you." Dong E volunteered to go together.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Shengchao advised: "It's okay to accompany me, but you two can't leave, you must go together." ”

Wanyan Xi's martial arts are not bad, Dong E can be her eyes, and the two complement each other together.

Dong E nodded and agreed: "No problem, I'm with Sister Wanyan." ”

The county seat is not big, and the three of them walked for a while to the outside of the county office, Dong E always held Yan Xi's hand, for fear that the other party would not be able to find her blind after separation.

"What are you doing, outsiders are not allowed to trespass in the Yamen." The official on duty had an arrogant attitude, and pulled out his waist knife and stepped forward to stop it.

Gu Shengchao didn't say much, raised his foot and kicked him aside, and the three of them broke in.

Where are the three opponents of ordinary officials, and a few people can't stop them at all.

However, after searching the entire county office, Hu County Order was not found.

"Say, where did Hu Xianling go?" Gu Shengchao asked one person.

The man hesitated, but stopped talking, as if he was worried.

Gu Shengchao pointed to luck, and a stream of true qi entered the person's meridians, and the retrograde meridians made the person miserable, and life was worse than death.

"I say, I say."

The man couldn't bear it and had to summon it truthfully: "Hu County's order should be in the Xiaoyaoyi in the north of the city, and he is usually there." ”

"Take us there." Gu Shengchao let him go.

There was a stable in the county office, and each of the four rode a fast horse and went straight there.

A cup of tea arrived, looking from afar, a deep house compound, the plaque at the door wrote "Xiaoyaoyi" three big characters.

There was a faint melodious and ethereal singing of silk bamboo coming out of it.

"My lord, please atone for your sins, you will definitely trouble me when you leave, the county order will definitely trouble me, that Xiaoyao Post was originally a post station, and the county order occupied it and changed it into your own private residence. I've taken the place, so let me go, adults. ”

Gu Shengchao understood the hardships of the servants, and waved his hand to let him leave.

"Brother Gu, what should we do?" Dong E asked.

Gu Shengchao said disdainfully: "I don't believe that the small county town can hide the dragon and the crouching tiger, you two will follow me together for a while, don't leave to act alone." ”

"Understood." Dong E took Yan Xi's hand and stood behind him.

Gu Shengchao used the "Nine Heavens Blue Palm", smashed the gate with one palm, and took the lead in breaking in.

Qiu Xiao in the Valley of the Four Kings has already taught him all his life's mastery, and after this period of hard training, he has improved a lot.

Hearing the movement, the guards and thugs of the Xiaoyao Station swarmed out and besieged them with a large number of people.

Gu Shengchao just used his fists and feet, and those people were beaten one by one so that their noses and faces were swollen, and they fell to the ground and wailed.

"Hmph, a bunch of trash." He was about to keep going inside.

A person flashed out from behind the moon door next to him, and snorted coldly: "Hmph, what a bunch of waste." ”

There was no step under the man's feet, and a dodge stopped Gu Shengchao.

"Stay, let's get past my level first."

The man's voice was a little shrill and shrivelled, like a eunuch in the palace.

Gu Shengchao looked carefully, but he knew that this person was Jia Quan, who the mission met on the Beihu Road and met in a coal mine. Just because the mine supervisor recognized him, he didn't say goodbye, and he didn't want to meet here.

"If you don't come to the coal mine, Grandpa Jia won't be harmed." The ancient saint gave his hand and said.

Jia Quan was stunned for a moment, then lowered his face and said: "Father-in-law Jia has died a long time ago, and now there is only Jia Quan as a waste." Since we have met, we asked the strong man to return the same way, but nothing happened today. ”

"What if I don't leave?" Gu Shengchao said with a smile.

Jia Quan clenched his fists, and his bones clicked: "Then don't blame Jia for being ruthless, you ask for more blessings!" ”

Gu Shengchao was puzzled: "What benefits did Hu County's order give you to make you die for him?" ”

With a wry smile, Jia Quan shook his head and said, "What benefits did you get from it, coming here to die regardless of your life?" ”

Gu Shengchao said righteously: "For the sake of the country's righteousness, as well as the people's demands, I can't let Hu County order such people do evil, and disregard the lives of the people to satisfy their own selfish desires." ”

With a burst of disdainful laughter, Jia Quan seemed to have heard the most coke joke in the world: "The emperor's ninety-five honor, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister." But what I saw in the palace was all deceit, adultery and plunder. Who is right and who is wrong, no one can tell. Here, Hu Xianling looks at me differently and respects me like a guest, I am no longer a wasted person, so I naturally go to the soup for him, am I also wrong? ”

Gu Shengchao remembered the absurdity of the old eunuch Wen Zhe in the palace, and he was also deeply moved, and he was speechless for Jia Quan's rebuttal.

He was in deep thought, when the wind hit in his ears, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Jia Quan's huge fists swinging, like a pair of sledgehammers.

Jia Quan was caught off guard and took the lead in launching an offensive, and Gu Shengchao had to dodge sideways and use the "Nine Heavens Blue Palm" to fight with him.

In the palace, for safety reasons, no one is allowed to carry sharp weapons, so their kung fu is all over their fists and feet.

The two of you come and go, and it is difficult to tell the winner for a while.

Jia Quan's pair of fists were powerful and heavy, and every blow had a thousand momentum.

Gu Shengchao's "Nine Heavens Blue Palm" palm technique is exquisite, you don't need to fight him, you can easily resolve it with one or two strokes of gold, and it can last for a long time in terms of physical strength and internal strength.

Seeing that the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable to him, Jia Quan couldn't help but be anxious, jumped high with a loud shout, and the whole person was like a hill and overpressed towards the ancient saint.
