Demon detective

Chapter 125
In the dark and damp South Prison, as the iron door creaked open, Sima Xin and Cai Jin walked into a cell for repeated offenders.

After going in and taking a look, the two of them immediately gritted their teeth in anger.

But Cui Xiaotian, who was tied to the pillar, had long since lost his human appearance, his whole body was torn and bloody, and there was still a smell of burnt skin in the air.

"Song Zhili, you are a fucking bastard! Crazy!!" Sima Xin cursed angrily, "How could you make him like this?"

"Lord Sima," Song Zhili behind him still used the weakest posture and said the most ruthless words, "If he doesn't speak, I will die. Do you think I won't make him like this?"

"Hmph," Cai Jin snorted coldly, "don't be too happy, don't think that if he opens his mouth, you won't have to die!"

After threatening, the two went forward to check carefully, and after confirming that this person was undoubtedly Cui Xiaotian, Sima Xin tried to call his name, but Cui Xiaotian did not respond after calling several times in a row.

"What's going on?" Sima Xin glared at Song Zhili, "What did you do to him?"

"Maybe...the pain made him pass out?" Song Zhili replied, "I probably won't die."

"you……"

Sima Xin strode up to Song Zhili, reaching out to pull his collar.

However, after realizing that Song Zhili had no fear, he had to calm himself down.

At such a time, even if Song Zhili was beaten up, it would not help.

"Lord Sima," Cai Jin realized something at this moment, and said to Sima Xin, "It seems that County Magistrate Song has already made preparations, let's go!"

"Hmph!" Sima Xin glared at Song Zhili again, and then reluctantly left the cell with Cai Jin.

When they came outside the prison, the two quickly turned to a quiet place, where the governor Han Wentao had already been waiting there, distracted.

"Master Han..."

Sima Xin lowered his voice and reported the situation in the prison to Han Wentao.

After hearing this, Han Wentao clenched his fists and jumped in anger.

"Song Zhili probably used some kind of drug to stun Cui Xiaotian," Cai Jin added, "He definitely did it on purpose, just to prevent us from questioning Cui Xiaotian."

"Governor Cai," Han Wentao exasperatedly praised, "the county magistrate under your command is really a capable general!"

"This..." Cai Jin panicked, "Master Han, this Song Zhili has always been more obedient. I don't know what stimulated him, why did he suddenly become like this?"

"Alas!" Han Wentao gritted his teeth and sighed, he could only shake his sleeves, and came to Song Zhili who was waiting outside the circle, and asked with a lowered posture, "Tell me, Song Zhili, what exactly do you want?"

"Master Han," Song Zhili bowed and saluted, "I don't have any requirements, I just want to handle this case impartially."

"Handle it impartially? You..." Han Wentao widened his eyes, "Do you still want to kill Cui Xiaotian? Just like Qiu Zhennong? Do you know that you have offended the Minister of the Ministry of Officials about Qiu Zhennong?"

"Master Han," Song Zhili weighed the stack of papers in his hand, "Look carefully, these are what the people want, I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do, seeking justice for the common people, as a parent official, I'm doing this for me. The people of Daxuan punish rape and eradicate evil, did I do something wrong?"

"You... you are talking about justice to me at this time, you..." Han Wentao suppressed his anger, lowered his posture again, and said in a very low voice, "There is a vacancy for the governor of Qian'an County. A sheriff head office, right?

"Let me tell you, Cui Xiaotian's matter is too deep, you can't afford it!
"Don't think that if you know Cui Xiaotian's secrets, you can blackmail anyone. If you are in a hurry, they will do everything. Is it worth it for Cui Xiaotian?
"Even if you are not afraid of death, don't you think about your family members? Do you have to fight for the whole family to be satisfied?"

"This……"

The family members are Song Zhili's weakness, Han Wentao's words immediately made him hesitate, and he realized that his behavior was somewhat reckless.

Because from Han Wentao's point of view, it is obvious that there are still big tigers on top of the governor!If he insists on sticking to the end, it will be out of control.

However, Song Zhili is not a rookie, he knows that once he compromises, the consequences will be even worse.

Han Wentao's promise to his county guard is simply a road of no return.

Seeing Song Zhili's hesitation, Han Wentao immediately saw hope, and quickly persuaded: "As long as Cui Xiaotian is not dead, everything is still in time!

"Look, since you already know some of the secrets, then you are an insider. As long as you are willing to join this circle, let alone the little sheriff, it will be a simple matter to become an official in the holy capital in the future!"

"This..." Song Zhili was even more entangled, and after thinking hard for a while, he said, "Master Han, this matter is of great importance, can I allow you to think about it?"

"Pedantry! Why do you need to think about it?" Han Wentao stared, "A bright future is beckoning to you! Do you have to choose family ruin?"

"Master Han," Song Zhili said again, "Because it involves family ruin and death, the lower officials have to think about it carefully. Can you give me a little more time?"

"You...well," Han Wentao said, flicking his sleeves, "Then you can't think about it for too long! Besides, Cui Xiaotian must never die! If he dies, we'll all die together!"

"I know," Song Zhili stretched out two fingers, "I will give you a satisfactory answer in two days!"

"Good! Oh..."

Han Wentao shook his head again and again, then reluctantly withdrew the team and left the county government office with Sima Xin and others.

However, as soon as they walked out of the yamen, Han Wentao immediately ordered Sima Xin: "Let our people seal the yamen, and no one will escape!"

"Yes!" Sima Xin seemed to have expected it, and immediately agreed.

"Also, anyone who wants to enter the yamen will be arrested and interrogated!" Han Wentao said again, "I don't believe that a small county magistrate can turn against the sky!"

……

A quarter of an hour later, Han Wentao, governor of Songzhou, hurried back to the inn where he was staying.

The inn has long been under martial law, and there are guards with sabers hanging from their waists and bulging temples everywhere.

When Han Wentao came to the door of a certain room, he straightened his clothes nervously, with an extremely fearful expression on his face.

There were three knocks on the door, although no one answered, Han Wentao pushed the door open and entered.

After entering the room, he first carefully closed the door, then knelt obediently on the floor in the center of the room, facing the shadow in the corner, and narrated all the things in the county office just now.

"My lord," Han Wentao did not dare to raise his head, and said, "The little county magistrate dares to resist like this. I suspect that there may be a mastermind behind him, and this is deliberately targeting us!"

"Hmph..." There was a cold snort from the shadows, followed by a hoarse voice, "We have a conflicting relationship with the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. He not only messed with Qiu Zhennong, but also arrested Cui Xiaotian. He is obviously a mad dog! A lifeless, self-righteous Mad dog!"

"Then..." Han Wentao hurriedly asked with sweat on his forehead, "What should we do?"

"What should I do?" said a hoarse voice, "Once Cui Xiaotian dies, the evidence of the crime will be submitted directly to the Holy Master! And the county magistrate is dead, so can his so-called accomplices still enter the Holy Capital to sue for impeachment? What is it?" Which is more important, is it not clear?"

"Ah!?" Han Wentao's body shook, "But, there was an imperial decree before, and the Holy Majesty personally asked about Qiu Zhennong. If he dies..."

"Do you still need me to teach you?" The hoarse voice said lightly, "The people from the Tianxiong Security Bureau went to the yamen to make trouble before, and it would not be good to directly put the crime of bloodbathing the yamen on these big-headed and brainless warriors. ?”

"Bloodwash...bloodbath..." Han Wentao trembled all over, "Is it really going to be so big?"

"Is it big? The people who died in the Chongning granary are not more than the Yanping county government?" The hoarse voice said coldly, "However, this little county magistrate has indeed done something we dare not do.

"It's not too late, let's do it tonight, get Cui Xiaotian out, and then ask all his secrets, if you can get rid of Cui Xiaotian's heart disease, you've made a great contribution.

"As for the others," the hoarse voice said fiercely, "not one will be left!!!"
