The poor lover provoked Luo Xiaoniang

Chapter 273
The dungeon at night is dark, cold and damp.

Bo Langjun sat quietly with his arms around Luo Jiaojiao who was already asleep.

County magistrate Zheng sighed secretly as he looked at the two mouthfuls of dried steamed buns and a plate of dried vegetable leaves in Bo Langjun's cell.

"Golden clothes, silver spear head, how many people live in the battlefield? Half a tael, a pot of porridge, day and night work to add lamp oil. Rich and noble nest, eating meat every day, ten fingers not stained with white jade hands..."

"Stop singing!" Bo Langjun was annoyed, so he shouted.

"Eat it! This is the best prison meal for you!" County Magistrate Zheng persuaded.

"Can't eat!" Bo Langjun still sat still.

There was a sound of footsteps, and the head of the cell walked over with two guards and opened the doors of the two cells.

"The county guard will interrogate himself!" A guard looked at Bo Langjun who was sitting still.

"A-Jiao! Wake up!" Bo Langjun woke up Luo Jiaojiao.

"Can we go out now?" Luo Jiaojiao cried as she watched the cell door open.

"Well! Let's go!"

Mr. Bo Lang pulled Luo Jiaojiao up, and followed the county magistrate Zheng who had already left the cell to the exit of the dungeon.

A gust of night wind blew past, and Mr. Bo Lang couldn't help shivering.He hugged Luo Jiaojiao's shoulders and walked forward together.

The lights in Qujun's house are reflected on the bluestone platform in front of the door through the doors and windows.County magistrate Zheng and Bo Langjun walked into the house slowly.

"Master!" Jiang Yu saluted on the spot, but he didn't move.

Mr. Bo Lang turned his eyes to the side corridor, and saw the guards lying in ambush with bows and arrows.

"I've caught an assassin! County magistrate Zheng, come and recognize him!" Magistrate Qu ordered.

County Magistrate Zheng bowed respectfully to Magistrate Qu, then walked to the copper cage and looked inside.

County magistrate Zheng was all too familiar with the terrified eyes in the cage.

"He is Guo Heng, the yamen servant!"

"Guo Heng! Who sent you to assassinate the governor of this county?" Governor Qu shouted angrily.

"You arrested our county magistrate indiscriminately! I couldn't be more angry, so... ah!" Before Guo Heng finished speaking, the mechanism in the copper cage jumped suddenly, and sharp knives protruded from all sides and pierced his body.

"Guo Heng!" County magistrate Zheng showed regret in his eyes.

Luo Jiaojiao felt cold all over, and could not help leaning on Bo Langjun's body.

Mr. Bo Lang put his arms around Luo Jiaojiao and said, "Assassinating the sheriff is a capital crime!"

Governor Qu looked at Mr. Bo Lang and nodded when he heard the words.He let the three of them go, Bo Langjun, and asked them to investigate the case together.

Jiang Yu told Mr. Bo Lang and County Magistrate Zheng everything he had seen and heard.

"He is a county magistrate, what is he talking to the owner of the grain store, and he is afraid that people will find out?" Luo Jiaojiao was puzzled.

"He's in charge of the county's food and taxes?" Bo Langjun looked at Zheng County Magistrate.

"Yes! You mean that he bought grain with the stolen official money and stored it in the granary?" County magistrate Zheng immediately understood Bo Langjun's intention.

"It must be like this!" Bo Langjun said firmly.

"Go! Let's go and see!"

County magistrate Zheng took Bo Langjun and the three to the granary in the south of the city.When the soldiers guarding the granary saw magistrate Zheng, they immediately saluted and let him go.

The county magistrate Zheng ordered people to open ten reserve warehouses, and found that they were full of new rice.

"Let's go! Go to the yamen!" County magistrate Zheng hurried out of the warehouse.

"Is there any gain?" Sheriff Qu brought people over.

"The subordinates have found out that Wu Xiancheng exchanged the stolen official money for grain and stored it in the reserve warehouse." County magistrate Zheng reported with a bow.

"Just find it! Hurry up and catch the murderer! You also go to help!" Governor Qu said to Bo Langjun and the three of them.

"it is good!"

Bo Langjun took Luo Jiaojiao and Jiang Yu back to the county government office with Zheng County Magistrate to arrest Wu County Cheng.When they rushed to the county government office, a small official said that there was an emergency at Wu Xiancheng's house and he had already left.

"Which direction are you going?" Bo Langjun asked.

"South City Gate!" The little official thought for a while.

The county magistrate Zheng took the yamen servant and Mr. Bo Lang to the south gate together.

The guard at the gate said that Wu Xiancheng had already left the city gate and headed for the road in the southeast direction.Everyone followed magistrate Zheng to catch up.

They came to a fork in the road and stopped.Mr. Bo Lang said to County Magistrate Zheng, "Let's chase separately!"

County magistrate Zheng led people to the road on the left.Mr. Bo Lang and the three walked along the road on the right.

"Lang Jun! There are bloody fingerprints on this tree trunk!" Luo Jiaojiao pointed to a small tree trunk.

"Master! There are traces of fighting here!" Jiang Yu found the marks of sword cuts on the tree trunk.

"Follow the bloodstains!" Bo Langjun ordered.

"Why is this happening?" Luo Jiaojiao muttered puzzled.

"It must be the uneven distribution of spoils!" Jiang Yu replied casually.

"Lang Jun! What's going on? Why are there bloodstains and footprints on three sides!" Luo Jiaojiao was completely confused.

"Let's look for it separately! Be careful!"

After Bo Langjun finished speaking, he walked up a mountain trail.Luo Jiaojiao and Jiang Yu went to the other two roads.

Bo Langjun didn't walk fast, because he saw more and more bloodstains.

"I'm here!" Wu Xiancheng, who was hiding in the grass nest, stretched out his arm to Mr. Bo Lang.

Mr. Bo Lang walked over and saw that Wu Xiancheng had a dagger stuck in his chest, and he was already dying.

"It's not what you think! We just want to save County Magistrate Zheng!" After Wu Xiancheng said these two sentences, he closed his eyes forever.

Bo Langjun stood silently in front of Wu Xiancheng's body for a long time, thinking about many things clearly.At this moment, he only felt a chill run down his spine, and he was sweating profusely.

Bo Langjun seldom has back fears, until now he realizes that he and Luo Jiaojiao have passed through the gate of hell.

If it wasn't for Jiang Yu's escape, Wuxian Cheng and the Yamen servants' persistence in saving Zheng County magistrate, they would have died in the dungeon of the Sheriff's Mansion long ago!

Jiang Yu chased him to a cliff, and the blood disappeared from there.Luo Jiaojiao's pursuit was fruitless, so she turned back and met Jiang Yu on the way.When they came to the place where they were separated, they saw a pale Bo Langjun sitting under a tree with his eyes closed.Wu Xiancheng's body was lying at his feet.

"Mr. Lang!" Luo Jiaojiao ran towards Mr. Bo.

"I'm fine!" Bo Langjun slowly opened his eyes.

Mr. Bo Lang and the other three sent Wu Xiancheng's body back to the county government. County magistrate Zheng squatted down and closed his eyes for Wu Xiancheng.

Governor Qu was very happy when the official money theft case was solved.He wanted to throw a big banquet to celebrate, but Mr. Bo Lang said that he would rush to Qiantang immediately with the coins, and there was no longer any delay.

Magistrate Qu had no choice but to ask magistrate Zheng to take them to inspect and take out ten boxes of coins from Bo Langjun.

Jiang Yu had already hired two carriages, and the yamen servants helped to carry ten large boxes onto the carriages.

County Magistrate Zheng personally sent Bo Langjun and the three of them out of the city.Mr. Bo Lang whispered to Zheng County Magistrate outside the city gate: "After this inspection, the imperial court's transfer order will arrive. You should go too! Otherwise, the two yamen servant brothers, Wu Xiancheng and Guo Heng, will die in vain. !"

County magistrate Zheng was stunned for a long time after hearing Bo Langjun's words, then he stumbled and said: "You mean..."

Bo Langjun nodded at him, patted his shoulder twice, shook him twice, said: "Take care!", then got into the carriage and left.

After the smoke billowed, magistrate Zheng stumbled into the city gate covering his mouth and nose as if he had just woken up from a dream. His eyes were filled with tears and he could only secretly wipe them away.

The world is unpredictable, magistrate Zheng never dreamed that the truth of the matter would be like this.The case was closed by him himself, and there is no possibility of overturning the case.He could only live with a lifetime of guilt and anxiety.

A month later, the court's transfer order came as expected.County magistrate Zheng happily went to work, left this place that made him extremely sad, and embarked on another bumpy road full of hope.
