The reason for being arrested, Zhou Zhixian can also figure it out with his toes, no matter what crime he is charged with, the root cause is because of the last Niu Sanshun case. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The main reason why his predecessor Lu Zhixian was promoted to Jiyuan Tongzhi was that he had a meritorious criminal name and outstanding political achievements, but now he has only been promoted to Tongzhi for more than a month, and he, as his successor and subordinate, has directly overturned the capital crime he had set before leaving office! In this way, can Lu Tongzhi not be angry?

However, since this case was already known to be an unjust case, it was impossible for Zhou Zhixian to sit idly by and ignore it in any case, so in order to protect the reputation of Shangguan, he allowed the real culprit to go unpunished and the innocent to die unjustly? Zhou Zhixian asked himself if he could do such a thing that ignores his conscience, and at the same time, he also hoped that Lu Tongzhi would be a person with a generous heart and the courage to admit his mistakes.

But just in case, Zhou Zhixian did not directly submit the case file to the government in the form of an official document at that time, but first wrote a letter to Lu Tongzhi privately, preferring that he would not solve the case and give him the credit for capturing the real murderer. In this way, it will not make Lu Tongzhi bear the charge of fainting officials, and it can solve the matter perfectly, at most, Lu Tongzhi will lose face a little.

But Zhou Zhixian never expected that this Lu Tongzhi would be such a villain, not only did he not accept the suggestion, but he also directly made a surprise attack today to take him away in the name of cooperating with the investigation! Zhou Zhixian naturally couldn't take care of him, but he didn't expect Lu Tongzhi to lock him up while he was not upright.

Zhou Zhixian was furious in his heart, and he couldn't understand what he wanted to do with his surname Lu. Although he is one level lower than him, he is also a magistrate of the county! Not to mention that he is not guilty, even if he really violates the law of the country, according to the rules, even the prefect is not qualified to remove himself, at least he must come to the domain to exempt himself!

However, although he was already angry in his heart, when Liang Wenfu asked, Zhou Zhixian still didn't want to say bad things about officialdom, but forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart, and said to Liang Wenfu with a smiling face: "Wenfu, you don't have to think about it, let's just go to Fucheng to cooperate with the investigation, and it will be fine soon!"

The fool also knew that it would definitely not be fine, but since Zhou Zhixian didn't want to say more, Liang Wenfu had no choice but to sit quietly and see what Fucheng said.

For a while, the two people in the car were not interested in talking, closed their eyes and were making their own plans, and in the sound of "rumbling" wheels, they arrived in Fucheng more than two hours later. But to the surprise of the two, they were not taken directly to the government office to "assist in the investigation", but were taken to the door of a high-walled compound in the suburbs.

Liang Wenfu didn't know this place, but Zhou Zhixian saw at a glance that this was the Shengping Prison, and although the layout of the Shengping Prison was similar to that of an ordinary home, it was actually a prison used to hold people with status!

Lu Tongzhi still had that smirk on his face, and said to the two: "Don't misunderstand, it's just that the case is too widely implicated, in order to avoid suspicion, let the two of you stay in an absolutely secluded and safe place first." But come to think of it, Jiyuan Mansion is only available here, so I wronged Zhou Zhixian and Liang Juren to rest here for a while, and they will summon the two of them when they are free in a day or two. ”

Lu Tongzhi didn't say anything more, and directly ordered the guards to take the two into the courtyard, turned around and left.

The two were locked in a separate small courtyard, Liang Wenfu couldn't understand the reason why Lu Tongzhi caught him, and Zhou Zhixian couldn't understand how Lu Tongzhi wanted to solve it, so the two of them didn't speak at the moment, so they sat in the courtyard for a long time, and after dinner, Liang Wenfu went back to the room to rest.

It is said that when people are at a low point, even life will make the most grimace to you, and now Liang Wenfu, who is lying on the bed and meditating, feels that the wall in front of him is sticking out his tongue and making a grimace.

Liang Wenfu was stunned for a while, and finally reacted, sat up with a surprised face, and asked against the wall, "August, is that you?"

A green figure walked out of the wall in response, it was August, which had not been seen for many days. August was obviously happy in his eyes, but he still deliberately pouted: "Hmph! Even if you have a little conscience, you haven't even forgotten my name!"

"That's right, you're such a lovely girl, how could I forget?" Liang Wenfu said with a smile. August paced around the house with his hands behind his back, walked around the room with square steps, looked at the interior of the house, rolled his eyes and said to Liang Wenfu: "Filial piety is an identity, even the place where you are in prison is so comfortable! I will accompany you, are you welcome?"

Liang Wenfu got up and pulled her to sit down, and gently tapped her forehead: "Don't make trouble, why did you suddenly come to me again?"

"I just know that you are in prison, so I came to visit you!" August sat beside Liang Wenfu obediently, and brought the hand that had been hidden behind her back to the front, it turned out that she was carrying a bunch of grapes in each hand. August looked at Liang Wenfu's wrists that were trapped together, and asked while picking grapes and feeding him: "What kind of righteousness have you been imprisoned by someone!

Liang Wenfu glared at August, he had been thinking about the reason why he was arrested all day, and now he had roughly guessed it, so he said his guess to August: "I redressed an unjust case a few days ago, and this case was judged by Lu Tongzhi before, so I guess he is ready to take revenge on me!"

"I see!, what are you going to do?" August asked with a slight frown.

"It's still unclear, if I really want to go to the government to confront me, I'm naturally not afraid at all, but what I'm most worried about now is that this Lu Tongzhi will definitely not talk about this case, after all, he will be implicated himself. Liang Wenfu shook his head, "I guess he is probably trapping me and Zhou Zhixian here now, and then going to collect and fabricate evidence of other crimes and find individual charges to convict us!"

After listening to Liang Wenfu's words, August asked, "Aren't you worried that Lu Tongzhi will even save this procedure and kill you directly?"

Liang Wenfu asked suspiciously: "Is it okay? After all, we are a county magistrate and a person, and he has arrested us so blatantly, if we die, how can he explain to the imperial court?"

August shook his head: "I'm not Lu Tongzhi, how do I know?"

The more Liang Wenfu thought about it, the more upset he became, so he said to August: "Forget it, don't talk about this, what are you doing during this time?"

August picked up a grape and threw it up, then opened his mouth to catch it, and said while eating: "I, after investigating the case of Liu Yunting with you last time, I suddenly wanted to be a detective, so I have been investigating Ding Erxi these days, trying to see if there is anything you haven't dug up!"

Looking at the smugness on August Xiao's face, Liang Wenfu shook his head and smiled: "So, Detective August must have made a major discovery?"

"Hmm!" August nodded vigorously when he heard this, and when he opened his mouth, he wanted to tell Liang Wenfu about his discovery, but he didn't know what he thought, and suddenly pouted again: "Forget it, you'll know in two days, and I'll give you a surprise when the time comes!"

Liang Wenfu asked strangely, "What surprise?"

"Uh-huh" August rubbed his chin with his fingers, like an old man brushing his beard, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you want to be an official?"

Liang Wenfu shook his head: "Come on, I'm not interested in being an official, but now that I've experienced this again, I'm completely not interested in this dirty officialdom!"

"Oh, then don't talk about that!" August waved his hand and put on a smile again, "Have you missed me all this time?"

"Hmm...... This ......" Liang Wenfu had a headache, the topic of August was really jumpy, and she really didn't know how to answer this question, after all, how could she not think about it after getting along for so long? But what August said thinking is definitely not the same thing as her own "thinking", and saying it will definitely make her misunderstand.

Seeing Liang Wenfu's spitting appearance, August stood up angrily and said, "Hmph! I have no conscience, I'm leaving!" After speaking, he didn't look at Liang Wenfu anymore, and disappeared directly.

"I'll go! Do you really say you're leaving?" Liang Wenfu looked at the place where August disappeared in a daze, and his heart was inexplicable.

In the next two days, Lu Tongzhi did not show up again, the more Liang Wenfu thought about it, the more wrong it became, there is a genuine prefect here, even if it is the prefect, it will not be so big as to dare to arrest the prefect and leave it alone for a few days!

It won't really be as August said, then Lu Tongzhi is planning to get rid of himself and Zhou Zhixian directly, right?

The more Liang Wenfu thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, but he discussed it with Zhou Zhixian many times, and every time he was confident, he only said to Liang Wenfu: "Don't panic, no one in this Jiyuan Mansion can do anything to us!"

Liang Wenfu was full of anxiety: "Are we just sitting still?"

"Are you planning to escape from prison?" Zhou Zhixian squinted at Liang Wenfu and asked in a flat tone.
