Although Hu Zhixian was quite surprised in his heart, he still looked very calm on his face, coughed twice, and said: "I'm tired, what's the matter, we can discuss it tomorrow."

Zhao Xiancheng nodded in agreement, and then asked with doubts: "Tang Zun, you came to the prison in such a late night, is there something wrong here? There is something here, you send someone to deal with it, why bother Tang Zun Come in person?"

It's quite abnormal for a majestic magistrate of a county to run to the rancid and dark dungeon in the middle of the night.

Hu Zhixian and Zhang Dabeard looked at each other, frowned and said: "Zhao County Chancellor, is it possible that I have to report to you in detail about my actions?"

He and Zhang Dahuzi had already discussed that they would shoot and kill the prisoners in Room A without anyone noticing and destroy the evidence, but Zhao Xiancheng suddenly came over and messed up, which made Hu Zhixian very annoyed.

Zhao Xiancheng was not in a hurry, just shook his head and smiled and said: "Tang Zun's words are serious, and the subordinates have no other meaning." After a pause, he said: "Yes, Zhang Baotou, how many people are detained in this dungeon now? Show me your roster, I just have nothing to do tonight, since I'm here, I'll check the number of prisoners by the way!"

The bearded Zhang was taken aback for a moment, and Hu Zhixian's expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Zhao County Chancellor, the lights are not in the dark, what kind of prisoners are you checking at this time... It's very dark here, you go first!"

Unexpectedly, the humble and obedient Zhao Xiancheng in the past was uncharacteristically today, and said with a smile: "Tang Zun, as a county magistrate, speaking of it, it is possible to check the number of prisoners in the cell at any time... Even in the middle of the night, you can You won't be hindered!" He looked determined, and it looked like he was going to check the cell tonight.

Hu Zhixian squinted his eyes, and finally understood at this moment that Zhao Xiancheng, who usually looks docile like a sheep, suddenly showed his fangs tonight.

He didn't check the prison in the morning and didn't check the prison in the evening, but he came to check the prison at this stall, which seemed very strange.

Zhao Xiancheng stretched out his hand and said to Zhang Dazi: "Give me the roster!"

Zhang Dahuzi looked at Hu Zhixian, only to see Hu Zhixian's expression was strange, he pondered for a while, Hu Zhixian nodded slightly, Zhang Dahuzi went to get the list of prisoners, and gave it to Zhao Xiancheng with both hands.

Zhao Xiancheng smiled half-smile, took the roster, turned around and went out.

Seeing that Zhao Xiancheng had left the door, Zhang Huzi hurriedly approached Hu Zhixian, and said in a panic, "My lord, this is troublesome... There is still a corpse in the Class A room, and the surname Zhao will definitely find it...!" Beads of sweat came out.

Although the poisoning of the braised pork was ordered by Huzhi County, Zhang Dabeard did it himself. Once this matter is thoroughly investigated and the truth is exposed, Zhang Dabeard will not be able to escape the blame.

However, the look of panic on Hu Zhixian's face was no longer there. Instead, his face was sullen, and he lowered his voice and said: "Zhang Dabeard, you are the person I trust the most. You and I know what happened today. Once you are caught out , neither you nor this officer will end well...!" His eyes were full of murderous intentions: "Qingliu County is well connected in all directions, and there are clouds of merchants coming from south to north. ...!"

Big Beard Zhang rolled his eyes, and said in a low voice: "My lord, what do you mean...Zhao Xiancheng has always wanted to take the position of your lord?"

"I'm negligent." Hu Zhixian said with a sneer, "The one surnamed Zhao really hides very deeply... But if there is no one behind him, with his own strength, he would never dare to challenge this official!"

"My lord is talking about... the other side of the city?"

Hu Zhixian nodded slightly, and said: "I was recommended by Mrs. Wu at the beginning. To put it bluntly, the second prince is behind this... Many of the taxes that our Qingliu County has secretly withheld over the years have been paid to the second prince... !" His expression was gloomy: "I have acted cautiously these years, because I was worried that people with ulterior motives in Fucheng would catch me... But this time, I am afraid that I will fall into the hands of that country boy!"

Zhang Dazi panicked and said, "My lord, you...you must not have anything to do!" He is a confidant picked up by Huzhi County, and under the care of Huzhi County all these years, he has lived happily, Hu Zhixian Once the magistrate falls, he will not have a good life in the future with his big beard.

What's more, if Fatty Fan's case is really going to be raised, although the future of Huzhi County will be ruined, he will definitely be implicated.

Hu Zhixian said in a deep voice: "Zhang Dabeard, do you want to continue to enjoy the glory with me in the future?"

"Your Excellency, tell me!" Zhang Big Beard is not a fool, knowing that Huzhi County has made calculations, he said fiercely: "As long as the adults give orders, go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire, even the little ones dare to do it!"

Hu Zhixian raised his hand, made a knife shape, and then cut it down hard.

There was a little surprise in Zhang Huzi's eyes, and he said in a low voice: "My lord, your consciousness is...!"

"If you don't do anything, you will not stop, since the surname Zhao hit the knife, he will be chopped off, and then you will directly blame Chu Huan and the others." Hu Zhixian said darkly: "Zhang Beard, do you dare to do it? "

Big Beard Zhang pondered for a while, finally gritted his teeth, and said: "My lord, I know what to do!" Without saying a word, he turned around and walked out of the jailer's room, and quickly chased after Zhao Xiancheng.

In the dark passage of the cell, Zhao Xiancheng was slowly walking towards the prison. Zhang Dazi walked very fast, and he had already chased after him. Zhao Xiancheng turned his head, saw Zhang Dazi, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Second lord, the younger one will accompany you to check the number of people." Bearded Zhang suppressed the tension in his heart, and said with a smile, "Second lord, don't worry, every prisoner who comes in here, the younger one will be registered in the roster, and every time a prisoner goes out, Even the little ones will cross out their names!"

Zhao Xiancheng nodded and said: "I have nothing to do, just take a look!" Without saying much, he turned around and continued walking in.

Zhang Dazi followed behind. Under the dim light, his smiling face instantly became extremely gloomy. His eyes were full of murderous intent. He slowly pulled out the knife and raised it slowly. The blade pointed at the back of Zhao Xiancheng's head. With a ferocious expression, as soon as he gritted his teeth, he was about to chop off.

Zhao Xiancheng was vigilant obviously, he suddenly turned around and saw Zhang Dazi raising his knife to cut, he said sharply: "You... what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to chop you off!" The bearded Zhang grinned grinningly, and with all his strength, the big knife slashed down.

Almost at the same time, a shadow in the darkness flew towards Zhang Dashi's shoulder like a meteor, with a "bang", that shadow hit Zhang Dashi's shoulder blade, and there was a "click", and Zhang Dashi's shoulder blade was instantly crushed. When it was crushed, his arm just held the knife, and when the shoulder blade was broken, the whole arm was in severe pain in an instant.

From the dark passage, a few people rushed up like wolves and tigers. The first one was a burly man with a felt hat on his head. With a sound, he was already kicked to the ground.

Zhang's beard fell to the ground, Zhao Xiancheng heaved a sigh of relief, and cupped his hands to the burly man, "Thank you, Mr. Wei, for your rescue... It seems that they really have evil intentions!"

This Lord Wei is tall and tall, dressed in black, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, with a stern expression, he just nodded slightly to Zhao Xiancheng, waved his hand, and said solemnly: "Tie him up!"

Two strong men behind him immediately stepped forward, with thick ropes already prepared around their waists, and they tied up Zhang's bearded man.

Zhang Dazi looked angry and scolded: "Who are you? Are you trying to rebel if you dare to break into the prison of the county government?"

Master Wei picked up a scabbard from the ground, just now Zhang Dazi slashed at Zhao Xiancheng, at the very moment, it was this Lord Wei who threw the scabbard with all his strength, and the scabbard hit Zhang Dabeard's shoulder blade, which saved him. Get off Zhao Xiancheng.

Master Wei put the knife in his hand into the scabbard, walked up to Zhang Dahuzi, looked at Zhang Dahuzi coldly, and said indifferently: "Little jailer, you dare to assassinate the county magistrate, you are really going to rebel." He took him to the lobby, where Master Lan is waiting!"

Two big men pushed and pushed Zhang's bearded beard, and then walked out of the prison.

Hu Zhixian was very nervous in the jailer's room, waiting for the news of Zhang Dazi. He was very nervous at this moment. If he had known that things would develop to this point, he would never provoke Chu Huan.

At the beginning of killing and framing, he was already caught in a chess game. In order to win this game, Hu Zhixian pressed every step of the way and did everything he could, but there was a great change in the move of poisoning and harming people. And the miscalculation of this move put him at a disadvantage in this game, and he fell into danger.

The strange movement from outside made Hu Zhixian's spirit even more tense. He got up from the chair, squinted his eyes and pondered for a while, when he heard a knock on the door of the jailer's room.

Hu Zhixian hurried forward, opened the door, and asked anxiously, "How is the matter going?"

"It's not good!" The man outside said calmly: "If you miscalculate one move, you will lose everything... Hu Zhixian, you are so courageous!" Amidst the voice, a burly figure slowly walked into the jailer's room, It was Master Wei.

Seeing this person, Hu Zhixian was shocked, stepped back, opened his mouth wide, and was speechless for a while.

Lord Wei didn't even look at him, he went to the chair and sat down, said coldly: "Huzhi County, do you recognize me?"

Hu Zhixian finally regained his composure, "Tong Tong" knelt down on the ground, and said in panic, "I'm an official... I'm an official, Hu Wei, the county magistrate of Qingliu County, pays homage to Lord Wei. , and please forgive me, my lord!"

Lord Wei put the saber in his hand on the table, and said straight to the point: "Hu Wei, someone went to the governor's office to appeal for grievances, accusing you of disregarding right from wrong and wronging a good person. When the governor heard about this, he was very angry, so he sent blue My lord and this official came to investigate thoroughly...!"

"Your Excellency, I am wronged!" Hu Zhixian hurriedly said: "I have been an official in Qingliu County for several years, and I sighed at night. I am afraid that I will lose the emperor's kindness. I am cautious in everything, I am a clean official, and I will never frame a good person!"

Lord Wei sneered and said, "That's a good point. Just now, your cell boss wanted to kill the county magistrate, so what's the explanation? I'm here for nothing but Chu Huan's murder case. Now Lord Lan It's in the lobby of your county government, how about it, Lord Hu, let's go to see Lord Lan together!"
