safe house

Chapter 135
With the sound of rattling iron chains, Guo Liang appeared in people's field of vision with heavy steps.

He was thin, with disheveled hair and black blood stains on his face and hands.

Dressed in prison uniform, listless, staggering.

"Liang'er..." In the crowd, an old lady called hoarsely.

As soon as he opened his mouth, tears couldn't help but flow out.

The man next to him warned in a low voice: "Don't cry! The child is uncomfortable!"

Having said that, his eye sockets were also hot, and tears rolled in them.

The old lady felt very uncomfortable, "When did the child we grew up in our hands suffer like this?"

Standing beside Luo Mingchuan, Xia Lu introduced in a low voice: "These two are the third master and third wife of the Guo family."

"It's also... Mr. Guo's parents."

Seeing that there was no displeasure on Luo Mingchuan's face, he continued: "They have been living in Linzhou Mansion these days, running around, looking for a way to save Mr. Guo."

Luo Mingchuan responded lightly, "It's their intention."

Guo Liang heard someone calling his name sharply.

He turned his head slightly, just in time to see the old couple with teary eyes.

Looking at the hoarfrost on the temples of the two of them, the circles of their eyes turned red unconsciously.

I said silently in my heart: father, mother, it is the child who is unfilial, which makes you worry.

this is·······
Just as he was about to look away, he caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eye.

My heart trembled, and my eyes widened in disbelief, why is she here?

The corners of the raised mouth have not yet turned up, but they are slowly pressed down again.

He pursed his lips and silently swallowed the bitterness in his mouth.

He was glad she could come.

But he didn't want her to see his current embarrassment.

In a trance, the movement slowed down a beat.

"Kneel down!" The yamen servant beside him kicked unceremoniously.

Guo Liang staggered and fell to the ground.

The heavy iron chain made a rattling sound, which made people's teeth ache.

"My dear son..." Third Mrs. Guo couldn't bear it any longer, she covered her mouth and began to cry softly.

Xia Lu rolled her eyes and said in a low voice, "The Guo family is very kind to Mr. Guo."

Luo Mingchuan had a sullen face and didn't speak.

"Guo Liang, do you know these two people?" Ding Tongzhi patted Xingmu and asked first.

"I don't know." Guo Liang shook his head after taking a look.

Ding Tongzhi looked at Liu Dazhu seriously, "Have you seen this man before?"

"I've seen it, I've seen it!" Liu Dazhu was very emotional after seeing Guo Liang, "It's him, he ordered people to open the dam and flood our entire village."

"You're talking nonsense!" Guo Liang roared emotionally, "You're a false accusation!"

He looked up at Ding Tongzhi, "My lord, it's wrong to be dismissed from office, I beg you to make the decision!"

"At this time, you still dare to call yourself an official?!" The master seemed to want to save face, so he couldn't wait to speak.

Guo Liang raised his head and straightened his back, "Master's words are surprising, now I'm just wrongly imprisoned..."

"Wronged?!" Ding Tongzhi sneered, "Guo Liang, don't you know why you were imprisoned?"

"Now, someone sued you for murder again, and you said it was wronged?!"

Guo Liang knew in his heart that today might be his last chance, "Empty talk has no basis, but do you have evidence?"

"Besides, the adults only listen to their one-sided words, can you verify it?!"

Ding Tongzhi yelled in a cold voice: "Don't be sophistry! I judge the case, how can you say it?!"

"Then the official has the right to speak?!" A lazy voice suddenly sounded.

It was like a thunderbolt blasted the entire court.

Lord Prefect?

How can this be?

Ding Tongzhi once thought he had heard wrong.But seeing that stalwart figure, all illusions were shattered.

"Your official has met the magistrate!" He quickly stood up from the stool and said respectfully.

Zhifu Xie stood there without moving, looking Ding Tongzhi up and down.

He turned his head and glanced around again, and said in an unclear manner: "That's right, it's quite similar."

Ding Tongzhi didn't know what it meant, so he couldn't answer rashly.

Although it is not clear whether the woman surnamed Luo is a miracle doctor.

But since no one has been found, let's act first!

Only when Guo Liang is convicted can he be sent to the execution ground.

Only when Guo Liang is dead can all the crimes be blamed on him.

Moreover, because of his involvement, the Guo family will no longer be ranked in the Jiangling Mansion.

It was a perfect plan, but it was abruptly messed up!

However, it doesn't matter, just deal with it carefully.

It's not certain who wins the game!

Xie Zhifu sat in front of the case and said slowly: "It seems that this official came at a bad time!"

Disturbing Mr. Ding has settled the case.

Before Ding Tongzhi could speak, the master spoke first, "Master Zhifu is joking."

"Master Tongzhi heard that you were seriously ill, so he didn't bother you, and he didn't dare to bother you with the troubles in the yamen."

On the surface, these words were speaking for Ding Tongzhi, but they were actually telling Xie Zhifu.

You are not in the yamen during this time, it is the words of Ding Tongzhi's family, who monopolize the power.

If you don't come again, I'm afraid the prefect's position will be lost.

Ding Tongzhi seemed not to have heard the provocation in the master's words, and nodded with a smile, "What the master said is true!"

"My lord's physical recovery is the responsibility of all people..."

"Master Ding!" Zhifu Xie slapped Xingmu and reprimanded in a deep voice, "You are overstepping!"

The cold gaze sent a chill down Ding Tongzhi's spine.

He hastily bowed and apologized: "What the prefect taught me is, the next official..."

"That's enough!" Prefect Xie didn't listen to his explanation, "Master Ding has been working day and night on the affairs of the government office, and his mind is in a trance."

"The people in this mansion and Linzhou mansion know it well. Go back and rest!"

"The case will be retried at another date. Both the plaintiff and the defendant will be sent to prison. Retire!"

Xingmu patted, no one allowed to refute.

Ding Tongzhi looked at Zhifu Xie's back, wishing he could poke two holes.

Grandma, you're still a step behind!
He was angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face.

He came to a small alley in a sedan chair, and the bearer stayed outside and walked in by himself.

He stopped in front of an ordinary small courtyard, looked around, and then raised his hand to knock on the door.

A sweeping woman came out to open the door, and bowed to let the person in.

When the people in the room heard the movement, they came out with smiles, "Master, why are you here so early today? You..."

That voice was as mellow and charming as an oriole out of the valley, delicate and soft, as if something scratched someone's heart, it was numb.

It's a pity that before he could finish his words, he was blocked by someone's mouth.

Ding Tongzhi's eyes were scarlet and his face was ferocious. It seemed that all the grievances had finally found an outlet.
