"Oh, you kid, don't worry about throwing such a beautiful girl in Luzhou City alone. Cheng Qi Hou suddenly lowered his voice and said mysteriously.

"Haha, Master Hou, is my junior sister beautiful?

"Bah, you kid don't get cheap and good, the appearance of the frost and snow girl, one in a thousand, don't be satisfied. Chengqi Hou said with disgust.

"Haha, huh?" Chi Zhongtian looked very satisfied, and leaned back proudly.

"I said, when will you and the frost girl get married? Cheng Qihou asked.

Chi Zhongtian was slightly stunned, and his face suddenly became a little embarrassed.

"I have to obey my parents. Chi Zhongtian said.

"That's right, the marriage event is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, but when the time comes, don't forget to invite my old man to a glass of wine. Cheng Qihou said.

"If you don't come, I'll find someone to come here and carry you out!"

This kind of words are full of strong friendship flavor, and Cheng Qihou is very comfortable to listen to it.

After a while, a servant came back and forth, saying that the fish was ready, and the rest of the dishes were ready.

It's not actually the time for dinner, but you don't have to be so particular about it, and you can eat it when you want to.

Chi Zhongtian followed Cheng Qihou to the living room, and in general, almost all of them ate here.

The place is spacious, and there are usually no guests who will come to disturb you, so it is the best place to eat here.

"Come on, try the fish I caught. As soon as Cheng Qihou entered the door, he saw a large plate in the center of the table, on which there was a big fish, and it was steaming, he walked over with interest and leaned down slightly, smelled the smell, and then said with praise: "It's really fragrant, it's a fresh fish, and it tastes good!"

"Haha, Master Hou, this also has to say that the chefs in your house are of high level. Chi Zhongtian followed.

"That's that, come on, sit down, sit down. Cheng Qi Hou said, and beckoned Chi Zhongtian to sit down.

"Come, taste. Cheng Qihou picked up the chopsticks and first gave Chi Zhongtian a pair of chopsticks.

The fresh fish, coupled with the skills of the Hou Mansion's cook, was indeed delicious, and after a while, a big fish was almost eaten by the two of them.

"Master Hou, this tastes really good. ”

"That's it. ”

Cheng Qihou wiped his mouth with the handkerchief next to him, and said, "The food is almost over, you can also say anything about it." ”

"Huh?" Chi Zhongtian didn't react at once when he heard this.

"Don't pretend to be confused, if you kid have nothing to do, can you have a meal with me so down-to-earth? Cheng Qihou said with a smile.

Saying this, Chi Zhongtian also felt a little embarrassed.

However, it is true that as Cheng Qihou said, his current time is really precious, and the original idea was to go back to Shezhou to rest for a while, but looking at it until now, there is no way to rest at all, because as long as he calms down, there are many unresolved things in his mind, and as long as the things are not solved, according to Chi Zhongtian's character, he will not be able to calm down.

"Master Hou, neither of us is an outsider, I do have something I want to ask you. Chi Zhongtian said frankly.

"You ask, I guess, you must be asking about something in the court. Cheng Qihou said.

"How does Master Hou know?" Chi Zhongtian asked curiously.

"Nonsense! It's not a matter of the imperial court, is it a matter of martial arts?"

"Yes, yes, yes. Chi Zhongtian smiled awkwardly.

"Just ask. ”

"Master Hou, I want to ask, what is the crime of releasing the prisoner who was personally imprisoned by the emperor without permission?" Chi Zhongtian asked.

"What!"

Cheng Qi Hou sat up straight, his eyes wide.

"Master Hou, who are you?" Chi Zhongtian couldn't help but be a little curious when he saw that Chengqi Hou was so excited.

"You kid, you can also ask this, I live at this age, I haven't heard of anyone who dares to do this, if you do it, you will be exterminated by the Nine Clans, and at the worst, the whole family will be executed in public. Cheng Qihou replied.

Although he had expected it, when Chi Zhongtian heard it from Cheng Qihou's mouth, he was still embarrassed.

"So serious?"

"Of course! The prisoners imprisoned by the emperor are Qin criminals, and if they dare to release Qin criminals without permission, it is tantamount to disobeying the holy decree, and this crime will only get bigger and bigger, not smaller. ”

Cheng Qihou replied.

Chi Zhongtian nodded and said, "Oh, what if this person who released people without permission will not admit it?"

"It depends on whether there is conclusive evidence. Cheng Qihou replied.

Immediately afterwards, the Marquis of Chengqi took a sip of wine, and said: "Generally speaking, if it is a person with a low official position, he may be beheaded directly if he commits this crime, and if it is a high-ranking person, then in order to avoid unjust cases, the emperor will instruct Dali Temple and the Criminal Department to jointly try and handle it, and after it is investigated, it will be released." ”

"Oh. Chi Zhongtian responded, still thinking in his heart that this Zhao Weixian must belong to a high authority.

"Then what if it turns out that it wasn't the person who put it?" that is, it was a mistake" Chi Zhongtian didn't know what to think, and asked casually.

"If it is found out that it is not, then this person will first be acquitted, and secondly, the person who goes to expose this matter, that is, the person who reported the case, will be put in prison for the crime of slandering the minister, and will be imprisoned for more than ten years, or beheaded. Cheng Qihou said lightly.

"Why was the person who reported the crime punished so severely?" Chi Zhongtian suddenly didn't understand.

"This is also to avoid unjust cases and false cases, or wanton retaliation by officials in the DPRK and China, which can be regarded as a constraint on both sides, after all, the words in this mouth cannot be said nonsense. ”

"That's just as well. ”

For such a thing, Chi Zhongtian can understand.

However, knowing this, Chi Zhongtian immediately had an unhappy thought, in case this time he went with the cut off water and sued Zhao Weixian for letting the Qin prisoner privately, which is good, but in case Zhao Weixian bought off the officials of Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, what should he do?

If you want to talk about the connections of officials in the court, ten Chi Zhongtian is less than half of Zhao Weixian, he wants to do something, Chi Zhongtian can't stop it at all, because it is the imperial court, in that place, Zhao Weixian is stronger than him I don't know how many times, Zhao Weixian really wants to buy whom, he is really helpless.
