It was dark, there was no light, and the windows were very small, which was probably enough for Xiong Wei to stick his head out. In the corner of the cell, there was a pile of straw, and a mouse "squeaked" out of it.

Shui Hibiscus shouted, "Mom!" and instantly threw herself into Xiong Wei's arms. In fact, she is not afraid of mice at all on weekdays, but she is weak in front of Xiong Wei, and she can be coquettish, so why is it empty if she has shoulders?

Xiong Wei hugged Shui Hibiscus, looked around at the cell, and sighed: "It seems that I have always been dealing with the cell in my life, and it seems that my woman is going to go to prison with me, which seems to be a test of God for us." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the water hibiscus in his arms, stroked her back, and comforted, "What's wrong, scared?"

"Hmm. Shui Hibiscus nodded lightly and said delicately, "You haven't hugged me like this for a long time." ”

"Looks like you have to thank that mouse?" Xiong Wei smiled slightly, and he was coquettish for a long time. He suddenly thought of Xia Yun again, Xia Yun would never be coquettish like a little sheep in his arms like Shui Hibiscus, no matter when, Xia Yun was always cold.

Even when it comes to life and death, she can show great composure. Sometimes, he really hopes that Xia Yun will not be so calm, and he will be nervous, and he will be coquettish in his arms like a water hibiscus.

"I don't know, how about Yun'er, she went to find the president of the Chamber of Commerce, will she fall into their ambush?" Xiong said to himself after thinking about it.

"Keep saying I'm your woman. When Shui Hibiscus heard this, her heart immediately became uncomfortable. punched Xiong Wei and pouted, "You only have Xia Yun in your heart." ”

Xiong Wei took her in his arms again and said, "I'm worried that she should be, after all, she is also my woman, and she is doing things outside." ”

Shui Furong pinched his chest again and said, "I don't allow you to think of her when you hold me." On weekdays, I don't care if you want to or not, but at the moment you're alone. ”

"Okay, good!" Xiong Wei coaxed the water hibiscus like a child. He immediately felt that Water Hibiscus was very possessive.

How much he hoped that Xia Yun would do the same to him, but Xia Yun was always dispensable to him, and if he left.

However, this kind of Xia Yun made him feel very mysterious. The more mysterious it is, the more he can't grasp it in his heart, and the more he wants to explore.

He secretly thought in his heart: Now that Xia Yun is outside, she will definitely find a way to save herself.

"By the way, I was going to run away just now, why didn't you let me escape. It's not a problem to beat ten of them with the effort of the two of us. Xiong Wei put his arm around Shui Hibiscus's shoulders again and asked incomprehensibly.

"You idiot, we were going to investigate the case in the open. It's just that we don't have a token to prove our identity, and if we resist, they will have even more reason to arrest us. ”

"Oh!" Xiong suddenly realized, "too, we don't run to prove our innocence." ”

"Yes, I'm good to have a quick response, just your stupid brain, impulsive and stupid, you know how to be reckless. As she spoke, she pinched Xiong Wei's chest again.

"Oops, it will hurt. ”

"Let you remember it longer. Water Hibiscus said a little hatefully.

"However, I didn't expect him to bring the governor here. I don't know what they're going to do?"

"You're not only stupid but also have a bad memory, you forgot that the last time we were in Shi Zhongyu's room, we heard him say that he went to inquire about it. I guess I also told the above about this, so the governor came down. ”

"If you don't tell me, I've really forgotten about it. Xiong Wei suddenly remembered what he heard in the jade room in the stone at that time, "However, they have arrested us, and I have a bad premonition. They may reverse the hammer with a rake. ”

"You don't have to doubt this, this is their usual method in officialdom. Shui Hibiscus sat up and looked at Xiong Wei and said.

Xiong Wei's face was full of doubts, and he asked curiously, "What do you think ......?"

Shui Furong said seriously: "In the officialdom, it is difficult to be a clean official, and it is also difficult to be a corrupt official. ”

"Oh? ”

Shui Hibiscus expressed her opinion on officialdom.

In officialdom, one person is an official, and the heads of the whole family are tied together. It's like Shui Furong's grandfather, when he was rejected by Zhang Juzheng, the whole family was affected. Later, the emperor punished Zhang Juzheng and asked him to serve again, but he didn't know why, and finally came the news that he was seriously ill and died.

Others, maybe they don't know, Shui Hibiscus is very clear, grandpa was in good health when he went, although he didn't want to go out of the mountain again, but the emperor came to invite him again and again, and if he didn't go out of the mountain, it would be too much to lose the emperor's face. Grandpa entered Beijing again.

In officialdom, sometimes even if you want to be a clean official, you will be corrupted by corrupt officials, and you must follow the crowd to save your own life and that of your whole family. However, after following the crowd, if there is anything, others will use it as a scapegoat.

Water Hibiscus said in a deep voice.

Xiong Wei was confused. "I don't quite understand what you mean by that. ”

Shui Hibiscus smiled and continued: "You think about the change in the prefect's attitude towards you. At first, he is very you, and then he tries to please you. This is the usual method in officialdom. ”

"I still don't quite understand, but I know something. Xiong Wei felt that he was ignorant of what she was saying.

"I remember asking my grandfather what would be safe in officialdom. My grandfather told me a few things, to learn extortion, in fact, the most important thing is to have connections and backers. ”

"I can understand the connections and backers you are talking about. But I don't quite understand what you said about extortion. ”

Shui Furong looked at Xiong Wei with a puzzled face and continued to analyze.

When Xiong Wei went to the prefect's yamen before, the prefect knew that Xiong Wei was a guard with a knife in Zhengsanpin, but his attitude was very tough at that time.

At that time, he didn't know the details of Xiong Wei, so he wanted to be tougher and confident, and intimidate Xiong Wei, so that Xiong Wei did not dare to investigate this matter.

Later, I invited Xiong Wei to play around in Yangzhou City, taste the food of Yangzhou City, and let Shi Zhongyu perform a song, which was to do what he liked again, and wanted to pull Xiong Wei into their group.

At the same time, he sent people everywhere to inquire about Xiong Wei's details.

Speaking of this, Shui Hibiscus took a deep breath and said, "I guess the governor has already checked our details before he came. Otherwise, he won't be here for long, so I'll let you show him the waist card. ”

"Looks like they're coming prepared. Xiong Wei also sighed deeply, "Then what do you think they will do?" ”

"Usually there are several ways to do this in officialdom. ”

"What's the solution?" asked Xiong Wei excitedly.

Normally, when a lower-level official encounters a higher-level official to check the evidence of his crime, he will find a way to find out the details of the superior. It would be better if you could buy your superiors into your own gang.

If you can't, find a way to collect evidence of your superior's crime, and at the appropriate time, take out this evidence, and then let your superiors weigh it themselves.

Xiong Wei is a man in the rivers and lakes, and there is no evidence of a crime at all, so even if he wants to find it, he can't find it.

Another is to look for the weaknesses of the superiors, so as to attack them unprepared.

"Weakness?" Xiong Wei said proudly when he heard this, even more strangely, "I don't think I have any weakness, and he can't find it even if he tries to find it." ”

"That's right. Neither of these options will work. I don't think they're going to use either of these options. ”

"Then you still say!"

"Just because they don't think they don't use it doesn't mean they won't use it. Do things with comprehensive consideration, especially in officialdom, you must not take it lightly, a single hair can be the evidence to overturn you. ”

"Is it that scary?" Xiong Wei disagreed, "Then tell me, what will they do?"

Water Hibiscus continued to analyze.

There is also an official road in the officialdom, which is also the official road that everyone often uses, which is called the official university to crush people to death.

The prefect had long known that he was not in a good position, so he had already sent someone to invite the governor. The governor was also prepared before he came.

Xiong Wei is the third product, and the governor is the second product. So the prefect went to invite the governor to suppress Xiong Wei. In a sense, Xiong Wei was working on the governor's territory, telling the dog to meddle with the mouse.

The salt tax has always been the main source of revenue for the imperial court, but it is also the main source of water for officials in Zhejiang.

If this piece of fat is taken away by Xiong Wei, it will touch their wealth. How can they be so good?

At the moment, the governor caught the evidence that Xiong Wei did not have a waist card, and Xiong Wei did not have the emperor's holy decree to investigate the case, so he could say that Xiong Wei was impersonating. It is estimated that the bear will die.

"You mean, they might say that I colluded with the deputy gang leader to frame the imperial court officials?" Xiong Wei completely understood what Shui Furong meant this time.

"I guess so. Because you have evidence of their crimes. They can only be safe if you die. ”

He suddenly remembered what the old gang leader had told him, the matter of salt tax, if he found out the deputy gang leader, it would be over. Otherwise, if there are many people involved, and the matter is complicated, maybe you will be involved and lose your life.

"But, I'm dead, and there's the Salt Gang leader. He was fully aware of the evidence of the crime of smuggling salt. ”

"The leader of the Salt Gang is not worth mentioning in their eyes, and you must not forget that if the leader of the Salt Gang can withstand them, he will not be held hostage by the deputy leader for so long! The two armies must be equal in strength to be sure of winning, although the strength of the leader of the Salt Gang is well-known in the rivers and lakes, but compared with the officials of the imperial court, it is to hit a stone with an egg. ”

"So you mean, we can't escape?" Xiong asked rhetorically, but he didn't think it was as serious as Shui Furong said.

"No, there is a way to do everything!" Shui Hibiscus said, and suddenly slapped Xiong Qi hard, "You big stupid bear." ”

"What's wrong with me!" Xiong Wei was beaten inexplicably.

"You, you, I just gave you a look and asked you not to give him that ledger. You just don't understand! If only that ledger were in our hands, we'd have one more winning chip. ”

Xiong Wei rubbed his head embarrassedly and said, "You won't say it directly, or snatch the ledger." ”

"How can you just say that on that occasion? You're a fool anyway. ”

"Oh, no. It was as if there was something in my arms. Xiong Wei said, and took out the salt guide of the official salt given to them by the deputy gang leader from his arms, as well as the handwritten letter from the prefect to the deputy gang leader of the salt gang.

Shui Hibiscus looked at it and said very happily: "Haha, we have one more winning chip for these." He's going to kill us? Now we're going to fight back with all our might. ”

Shui Hibiscus was thinking about how to attack in her heart.

Xiong Wei looked at Shui Hibiscus's cold expression and couldn't help but shudder. sighed in my heart: This woman is really not simple!

He looked at the cage again, in fact, even if no one came to save him, the prefect and the governor fabricated evidence to lie to him, so what would it be? He had already escaped from many cells, and he was afraid that he would not be able to escape from this cell.

At this time, he remembered Xia Yun......
