Shangguan Xiao hurriedly took a few steps forward, and said with a smile on Zhou Rouqiang's face: "I didn't expect Lord Zhou to come too, but why didn't Lord Zhou notify the old man, but sat here alone, the old man was really sluggish, and he was really panicked in his heart." ”

Zhou Rouqiang saw that things had come to this point, so he could only talk openly, so he stood up and saluted: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Zhou came to arrest the important criminal, but he met Master Shangguan on his birthday, and he didn't prepare a gift for you, how could he be embarrassed to disturb Master Shangguan's birthday banquet?"

Shangguan said with a smile: "Lord Zhou's willingness to come is already a great blessing for the old man, where do you need to prepare any gifts? Come on, Lord Zhou, please take a seat." ”

Zhou Rouqiang waved his hand and said, "Master Shangguan, there is no need to sit down." I see that the Shangguan Mansion is busy today, so you don't need to greet me. I have already said that I am here to arrest the key criminals, and now those key criminals are here, and I also ask Master Shangguan to hand over those key criminals to this official, so that this official can solve this lawsuit. In the future, the official will definitely come to the door to thank him. ”

Zhou Rouqiang said these words politely, but in fact, his attitude was very resolute, and he did not give Shangguan Xiao room to excuse himself.

Shangguan smiled and asked, "But I don't know who Lord Zhou's so-called key culprit is?"

Zhou Rouqiang pointed to Xi Weihua and the others: "It's just a few of them, Voldemort is suspected of smashing the prisoner's car and robbing the prisoner, and the official will also take it away." ”

Before Shangguan Xiao could speak, Shangguan Nan preemptively said: "Lord Zhou, although you are the lord of a county, you don't want to see what kind of place this is. You said that if you take people, you will take people, and you are still an important person in our Sanxiaomen, where did you put my father?"

Shangguan smiled and glared at Shangguan Nan and shouted, "You shut up for me." He turned around and said to Zhou Rouqiang: "Lord Zhou, although my disciples are not promising, they are by no means traitors, I think there must be some misunderstanding." Please give me a face, let them go, and I will discipline them well. Make sure they don't get into trouble outside in the future. ”

Zhou Rouqiang said: "I'm sorry, Master Shangguan." As a county magistrate, it is my duty to punish adultery and eliminate evil and ensure the safety of the people. There are so many pairs of eyes looking at me, I can't show favoritism. After I escort them back to the county office, I will be cautious to find out the truth of the matter. If they are not guilty, I will release them and apologize. But if they are guilty, I will never bend the law for personal gain, and I will certainly punish them according to the law. ”

Shangguan smiled and saw that Zhou Rouqiang didn't buy his account, and his face was a little untidy, so he stood there and kept silent. Shangguan Nan said: "Lord Zhou, do you really not give any face? Although you are an official, we are not afraid of you. If you want to take someone, whoever has the ability will take me a piece. As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves as if he was about to do something.

At this time, Ding Cheng said loudly: "Master Shangguan, it's not that our Lord Zhou doesn't give you face, it's really that the crimes committed by those people under your door are unforgivable. ”

Then Ding Cheng pointed to the flower thief and said: "This is the one who raped and killed the girl in Xiaoshiguan a few days ago******* and then pointed to Wu Laohan and said: "This old man, he is a lot old, and he actually fell in love with a girl who was less than twenty, and he had to forcibly rob his relatives." ”
