Although the little donkey pulling coal was tired for a day, it still showed amazing strength and speed, and under the instigation of Xu Zhen's leather whip, the coal cart was pulled to the gate of the county government in a short time.

There were four standing officials at the entrance of the county ya, and they saw Xu Zhen driving a small donkey cart to stop, and they all gathered around curiously.

"Quick!" Xu Zhen jumped out of the donkey cart, pointed to Qiu Batian in the car body, and assigned tasks to the officials, "You, come and help me carry people out of the car;

"You, hurry up and inform the eldest master, just say that Qiu Batian has arrived;

"You, immediately inform everyone, and prepare to ascend;

"And you, hurry up and get a basin of cold water!"

"Huh? Fur coat...... Qiu Batian? No...... Didn't you say to be summoned? How to ......" The four officials were shocked for some reason.

"Hurry! Don't be stunned! Xu Zhen urged, "This is all ordered by the old man, hurry up!" ”

Hearing Xu Zhen say this, the officials didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately acted according to Xu Zhen's instructions, some ran to the inner hall, some ran to the public house, some went to fetch cold water, and one carried the unconscious Qiu Batian into the county government with Xu Zhen.

Soon, Qiu Batian, who was covered in coal dust, was dragged to the county government office, and one of the officials had already brought a basin of cold water.

Xu Zhen took the basin and said to the officer: "Okay, you can go and take the plaintiff now!" ”

The official responded, and immediately ran to the direction of the county Yannan Prison Prison.

At this time, the officials and catchers who received the news came to the lobby one after another, and Xu Zhen saw Chen Tiefeng appear from a distance, so he poured a basin of cold water on Qiu Batian's head!

"Wow......"

Qiu Batian shivered a few times, and was instantly awakened by the cold water.

At this moment, Chen Tiefeng had already run into the lobby, Xu Zhen was quick-eyed, and directly handed the basin to Chen Tiefeng's hand.

The so-called inertia effect is that if you hand someone something, they will naturally take it.

Sure enough, Xu Zhen handed it naturally, and Chen Tiefeng received it very steadily, and he felt curious after receiving it.

"You ......" Chen Tiefeng just wanted to ask Xu Zhen why he wanted to give himself a basin?

And at this moment, Qiu Batian, who had woken up, sat up and roared at Chen Tiefeng like an angry lion:

"You? How dare you splash me!? ”

Chen Tiefeng is an old man who catches the house, so he naturally recognizes this man in a red robe as Qiu Batian, who everyone in Yanping County fears!

"Huh? This ......" He realized that Xu Zhen had played a trick on him, and hurriedly threw away the basin of water, while looking for it angrily.

However, Xu Zhen has long since disappeared.

"You ......" Qiu Batian shouted angrily at Chen Tiefeng, "What's your name?" ”

"I ......" Chen Tiefeng couldn't react, and subconsciously replied, "I'm Chen Tiefeng." ”

"......" Qiu Ba's weather was thunderous, "How can this be reasonable, how can it be unreasonable!" ”

"Qiu ...... Boss Qiu ......" Chen Tiefeng was startled, and hurriedly squatted down to support Qiu Batian, and at the same time hurriedly explained, "Listen to me, I didn't splash it just now, it really wasn't me......"

"Get out!" The angry Qiu Batian pushed Chen Tiefeng away and got up on his own.

But seeing that he was covered in a mixture of coal and water, his hair was scattered, and he was extremely embarrassed.

"Oops! This...... What's going on? ”

At this time, the county commander Song Zhili and the head catcher Cheng Xiao rushed over when they heard the news, and when they saw Qiu Ba innocently arrived at the court, the two hurriedly greeted them in a panic.

"Yamen...... Call...... Here it is...... Yamen? Qiu Batian pinched his drowsy head, and then realized that he had arrived at the county office.

"My lord, it's all that Xu Zhen!" Seeing this, Chen Tiefeng hurriedly complained, "He brought Boss Qiu here!" ”

"Xu Zhen?" Song Zhili was anxious, and hurriedly asked Cheng Xiao, "Cheng Zhutou, what the hell is going on?" ”

"I ......" Cheng Xiao was also at a loss, and casually defended, "I just asked him to summon Boss Qiu, but I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it to be like this!" ”

"Oh, Boss Qiu, it's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding......" Song Zhili hurriedly hugged his fists at Qiu Batian.

"Humph!" Qiu Batian covered his head and roared angrily, "Stop acting!" I don't think there's any misunderstanding, isn't it just trying to fix me? Okay, then come on, let me see what you can do to me? ”

"This ......" Song Zhili frowned and persuaded again, "You are too worried, this ...... This is really a misunderstanding! I ......"

"Okay," Qiu Batian suddenly remembered something, and immediately interrupted Song Zhili, pointed to his nose and said, "Isn't it because someone wants to sue me that you are working so hard?" Okay, you call him out, I want to see who he is? ”

As soon as Qiu Batian's words fell, there was an uproar outside the yamen, and after a while, Qiu Batian's fierce family members rushed into the public hall violently.

"Master Qiu, Master Qiu...... Are you alright? ”

When the family saw Qiu Batian covered in cinder stains, they immediately protected Qiu Batian and glared angrily at the officials present.

Although this is the county government office, the Song County Commander and the officials and the officials still turned white with fright, and completely lost the official majesty.

"Far away, far away!" Song Xianling calmed down and said hurriedly, "Boss Qiu, it's far away for you to say this, come, please come to the inner hall to talk, and let me tell you the whole thing in detail." This...... This is really a misunderstanding! ”

"Report ......"

Who knows, as soon as the Song County Commander finished speaking, the previous official who went to take the plaintiff ran in in a panic and reported to the Song County Order:

"Big ...... Oh no, sir! The old man—dead!! ”

What!!?

The entire county government hall was suddenly quiet.

Just when the official was reporting, Xu Zhen hid behind a certain bookcase to watch the excitement.

When I heard such amazing news, I couldn't help but freeze in place......

……

A quarter of an hour later, the county Yanan Prison was imprisoned.

The county commander Song Zhili, the head catcher Cheng Xiao, the public arrester Kuai, and Qiu Batian and others all came here.

"This ...... What's going on here? Song Xianling asked anxiously.

"No...... I don't know! One of the jailers said in a panic, "I was fine just now, but who knew that I would die like this......"

Everyone hurriedly looked into the cell, but saw a person on the ground, it was the old man who sued Qiu Batian.

He lay on the ground, his body twisted, and seemed to have experienced excruciating pain before he died.

Cheng Xiao was experienced and took the lead in rushing into the cell and turning the old man's body over.

"Huh!?" After just one glance, Cheng Xiao frowned, turned his head to look at Song Zhili, the county commander, and his eyes became extremely complicated.

"How...... What's wrong? Song Zhili noticed something strange and asked hurriedly.

Cheng Xiao still didn't answer, but his face became extremely ugly.

"Oops, what the hell is going on!" Song Zhili was in a hurry, "Say it quickly!" ”

"Yes...... Poisoning! Cheng Xiao said in an extremely low voice, "It's poisoning." ”

"Huh!?"

Song Zhili felt dizzy, and suddenly took a few steps back, almost falling.

In the crowd, Xu Zhen looked through the gap, and sure enough, he saw the old man's face distorted and his lips purple, which was indeed an obvious sign of poisoning.

No one expected that in just a few hours, the old man would be poisoned to death in the county jail!

How so?

Only then did Xu Zhen understand why Cheng Xiao looked at Song Zhili with that kind of look just now.

He obviously suspected that the old man was poisoned by Song Zhili, so that the old man died without proof, and he could no longer sue Qiu Batian.

But...... Judging from Song Zhili's appearance of the six gods now, he does not look like he knows.

Besides, even if Song Zhili really wanted to kill the old man, he shouldn't let him die in the county jail, isn't this a fire?

Besides, in such a short period of time, Song Zhili still can't determine the original story of the case, how can he kill people for Qiu Batian?

Who killed the old man?

"What a bad luck!" At this time, Qiu Batian impatiently shook off the mud on his body, and said to Song Zhili, "I said that the county commander Lao'er, if you don't give me an explanation of this matter, don't blame me for not getting along with your yamen!" ”

"This ......" Song Zhili was completely confused, and he didn't know what to say.

"It's really inexplicable, hum ......" Qiu Batian snorted angrily, turned around and beckoned to his subordinates, "Let's go, those little golden cats in Wanhualou are still waiting for me!" ”

With that, he led his family members to the outside of the prison.

It stands to reason that Qiu Batian has a major relationship with the case in front of him and should remain in the yamen for review.

However, which of the Song County Commanders and the officials dared to stop them? I could only watch Qiu Batian swagger out of the prison.

Gee......

Looking at the back of Qiu Batian leaving, and then looking at the corpse of the old man in the cell, Xu Zhen's brows furrowed tightly, and he felt more and more that this case was very unusual.

And in the next second, Xu Zhen sighed in his heart, and suddenly thought of another important thing.

Ah!

Since the old man was poisoned to death in prison, what ...... What about the old man's daughter?

……
