Lu Gui's uncle, named Ge Wei, has a weak personality, and the news of the government's pursuit is getting tighter. I was worried about being implicated, and I was quite scared inside. He said to Lu Gui: "Don't stay with me, flee somewhere else!" ”

When Lu Gui heard this, he understood his uncle's difficulties and was about to escape.

After all, they are relatives, Ge Wei couldn't bear it, and asked with concern: "Where do you want to flee?" ”

Lu Gui sighed and said, "I don't know where to be safe. In short, where to flee counts. Take one step at a time and leave it to fate! ”

Ge Wei thought for a while and asked, "Have you heard of Zhou Xian?" ”

Lu Gui said: "I have heard of the name for a long time. ”

Ge Wei said: "He helps the knights, it is better to go to him and hide." ”

Lu Gui asked worriedly: "I wonder if he is willing to take him in?" ”

Ge Wei said, "Let's go and give it a try!" ”

Lu Gui agreed and asked: "There is still a distance from here to Zhou's mansion, and there is a quick inspection on the road, how can you fool the past?" ”

Ge Wei said, "Don't worry, I have a way. ”

After that, Ge Wei found a razor and shaved off Lu Gui's hair. He put on his tattered clothes and smeared his face dirty. Dressed as a slave like this, or like a flower child, outsiders will not recognize it at all.

Then, Lu Gui was loaded into the truck.

Ge Wei drove the carriage, and along the way, he did not stop for a moment, and traveled quickly.

It didn't take long to go, and sure enough, when he met a few yamen catchers, Ge Wei was so nervous that his heart was about to jump out.

The head of the catch is fast, waving his hand, and calling for a stop inspection. The two catchers quickly got into the car and took a look, and found that there was only a dirty-faced person in the car.

A catcher asked viciously, "Who is this person in the car?" ”

Ge Wei replied nervously, "I bought it from the beggar's market, and I am going to make him a servant for me." ”

Seeing that it was reasonable, he didn't care about it and let him go.

Ge Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to take the reins and start, he stopped when he caught fast.

Ge Wei's heart suddenly rose to his throat again.

It turned out that after the catchers let Lu Gui go, Lu Gui got carried away and made a grimace at the catcher. Realizing that the person seemed familiar, he immediately called a halt.

Catch fast is about to approach the vehicle to see what is going on and see who it is. At this moment, suddenly, I heard someone shouting for help in the woods in the distance, and I abandoned Lu Gui quickly.

Who is calling for help at this time, so just right? Ge Wei and Lu Gui were suspicious. But Ge Wei didn't have time to think about it, he just wanted to catch the carriage quickly and get to Zhou Xian early.

Originally, it took three hours, but Ge Wei only took more than an hour to rush to the gate of Zhou Xian's house. Ge Wei begged the doorman to report, and the doorman reported it.

Zhou Xian heard it and went out to greet him.

Ge Weigu talked about the past and asked to take refuge here.

Zhou Xian had already known Lu Gui's name, and now that he was strong, he readily agreed, and asked, "Was it almost discovered?" ”

Lu Gui asked, "Yes! How do you know? ”

Zhou Xian smiled and said, "I listened to what Jia Ding said. ”

Lu Gui asked, "How does the family know?" ”

Zhou Xian smiled even brighter, and said to Lu Gui: "I knew you were coming, so I sent a family member to wait to greet you." The family happened to see you arrested and checked quickly, so he had an idea and hid in the woods to call for help, which diverted the attention of the hunters. Otherwise, you will be almost discovered. ”

Lu Gui said excitedly: "I don't know what to say thank you, if it weren't for you, I would have been arrested and beheaded." You're my savior! ”

However, Ge Wei was not as excited as Lu Gui, he had another little abacus, and when he saw Zhou Xian talking, he knew that the opportunity to make money had come.

Ge Wei said: "Outside of Zhou, Lu Gui has the strength to do many things for you. You might as well give fifty taels of silver, and I'll sell Lu Gui to you! ”

Lu Gui glared at Ge Wei fiercely.

Ge Wei lowered his head embarrassedly, and whispered to Lu Gui: "You have been hiding in my house for so long, eating me, drinking me, and making me afraid, I have to make up for it!" ”

Lu Gui said: "What compensation do you want?" I'm your nephew, we're relatives, and you're still saying things like that. ”

Ge Wei lowered his head even lower, blushed, and said, "Nephew, don't be angry! You don't have any silver for me, but what people have outside of the Zhou Yuan is silver, and rich people don't care about it. ”

Zhou Xian sneered, didn't say a word, and nodded in agreement.

Ge Wei got the money and left rejoicing.

Zhou Xian arranged for Lu Gui to dig coal in the coal cave, and said to the caretaker: "The work in the coal cave, this guy can do whatever he wants, he has the strength." But don't treat him badly, let him eat and drink well. ”

After Lu Gui left, Zhou Xian thought to himself: "Harbouring a murderer is a capital crime." Although the world is chaotic, once you get serious, you can't eat and walk around. So what to do? ”

This question has been haunting my mind. At night, sleeping in bed and unable to sleep, Zhou Xian immediately thought: "The government will find him here sooner or later." Rather than this, it is better to take the initiative. ”

Zhou Xian stayed awake all night, thought about it, and came up with a good solution.

Early the next morning, Zhou Xian rode an ox cart, with two entourages, and two hundred taels of gold, to Yunzhou Mansion to see the prefect Yu Ping.

Zhou Xian and Yu Ping have frequent contacts and have always been good.

Yu Ping has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, likes to read, like a scholar, and the smell of books is very strong, so he has a kind face, and when he speaks, he is very reasonable.

Zhou Xian came to Yu Mansion, just like his own mansion, the doorman did not report, and went straight inside to see Yu Ping.

Because Yu Ping regarded Zhou Xian as the God of Wealth, he once said to the doorman: "In the future, when Mr. Zhou comes, you don't need to report it, just let him come in directly." "Looking at Yunzhou Mansion, here in the prefect Yuping, only Zhou Xian can enjoy such privileges.

Yu Ping was quite happy to see Zhou Xian. Greetings, greetings, greetings, let the hall, sit down, and serve tea. The two of them said some inconsequential polite words.

Speaking of pleasure, Zhou Xian offered a hundred taels of gold, Yu Ping politely pushed it, and then happily accepted it. I feel that Zhou Xian is coming today, and he must have something important to ask for. Therefore, Zhou Xian was deliberately left to drink and chat.

During the banquet, Yu Ping was very interested and frequently toasted Zhou Xian.

Taking advantage of Yu Ping's happiness, Zhou Xian turned to the topic and asked, "I heard that you have been chasing Lu Gui recently, right?" ”

Yu Ping replied: "Yes, he killed Yuan Yuanwai's son, and Yuan Yuanwai specially came to me to ask for the murderer to be brought to justice." Otherwise, I wouldn't have hunted him down. ”

Zhou Xian said: "Oh, it should be hunted down. ”

Yu Ping asked, "Do you know Lu Gui?" ”

Zhou Xian didn't answer directly, and asked rhetorically: "Lord Yu, who do you think Lu Gui is?" Is it the bad guy? ”

Yu Ping replied: "No, maybe he's not a bad guy, maybe he's a chivalrous man." ”

Zhou Xian said: "That's right. As far as I know, he is a righteous murderer, punishing the powerful and inferior, and upholding justice, and there is nothing wrong with him! ”

Yu Ping said: "How can there be no fault? He killed someone, and according to the law, he should be sentenced! There is a law to follow. ”

Zhou Xian said: "Lord Yu, you are right. However, I have seen some people who wantonly kill innocent people, and they are not evildoers, as long as they spend money, are they not sentenced? ”

Yu Ping said: "This, this, I know!" ”

Zhou Xian said: "Since you know, why do you want Lu Gui?" ”

Yu Ping asked rhetorically: "If you kill someone and you don't get wanted, isn't this world all messed up?" ”

Zhou Xian said: "This world is originally chaotic. Just imagine, if Lu Gui is wanted back and put him to death, and the powerful bullies who bully people are not punished, wouldn't it be even more chaotic? ”

Yu Ping was speechless.

Zhou Xian said again: "That's it, open the window and say something bright, with all due respect." I know that Yuan Yuanwai also sent you gold and silver, I don't know how much he gave you, but I will add another hundred taels of gold, please let Lu Gui go, okay? ”

After that, he immediately offered Yu Ping another hundred taels of gold.

It turned out that Yuan Yuanwai only gave Yu Ping fifty taels of silver. Yu Ping saw that the amount given by Zhou Xian was several times more than that of Yuan Yuanwai, and it was gold, but gold was more valuable than silver!

In addition, Yu Ping couldn't talk about Zhou Xian in terms of reason, and knew that Zhou Xian was a famous local chivalrous businessman. Since this is the case, it is guessed that Lu Gui must be hiding in Zhou Xian, so he wants to be a favor. So, he readily agreed to let Lu Gui go.

Who knows that the wall has ears. This happened to be heard by Xie Su.

Xie Su is in the position of Tongzhi and is Yu Ping's deputy, and he has always been quite dissatisfied with Yu Ping's style of doing things. Yu Ping was not very interested in Xie Su, and once, Yu Ping humiliated Xie Su in public, so that Xie Su could not get off the stage.

As a result, the contradiction between the two gradually deepened.

Xie Su held a grudge against Yu Ping and vowed to find an opportunity to take revenge.

However, Xie Su is usually good at disguise, but because Yu Ping is face of the job, he didn't show it on his face. Xie Su was respectful and respectful in front of Yu Ping on the surface, but in fact, he was at odds with Yu Ping and had suspicions.

Xie Su felt that this was the best time to take revenge on Yu Ping, and quietly reported the matter anonymously to the governor.

The governor's name is Miao Yi, and after receiving the report, he sent Liao Tu and Zeng Kui to investigate the matter thoroughly. Liao Tu and Zeng Kui were relatively upright, and they were both officials in charge of the case in the governor's yamen.

Liao Tu and Zeng Kui came to Yunzhou Mansion to quietly investigate the case and find out: Yu Ping bent the law for personal gain, and Zhou Xian shielded the criminal. The facts are clear, the evidence is conclusive, and it is true.

For this reason, Miao Yi deeply felt that the case was important and did not dare to hide it, so he reported it to the emperor on the same day.

When the emperor heard this, he issued an edict: "Dismiss Yu Ping from his official position, reduce his post to the people, and send him back to his hometown." As for Zhou Xian's offense, the governor will deal with it himself. ”

As a result, Zhou Xian was arrested and brought to justice.

In view of Zhou Xian's special status, Miao Yi sent the interrogation specifications to the governor's yamen for trial.
