Chapter 147 Unruly
Ningzhou City, Pinghu Division Prison.

Liu Yuan and Meng Qing were in the interrogation prison, looking at Wang Qi who was hung up in front of them, each showing a slightly tired expression.

Meng Qing yawned, and Liu Yuan sat there and said helplessly:

"...I'm no longer sure if we're interrogating him or if he's interrogating us."

It has been a long time since Wang Qi was caught, but the two people who were in charge of interrogating Wang Qi did not ask him anything.

This made Liu Yuan a little suspicious, whether they arrested the wrong person, whether Wang Qi really didn't know anything.

Meng Qing yawned, looked at Wang Qi who had been hung up, and said sleepily:

"This guy must know something, but he just doesn't say it."

"An ordinary fugitive with no training, Boss Meng, do you think it is possible for him to survive so many days of interrogation without opening his mouth?"

Liu Yuan expressed doubts about this.

In fact, the questions they asked were not complicated, they just asked who the person who met Wang Qi was, and what that person wanted Wang Qi to do, these two very crucial questions.

The other questions were not asked too much, after all, they were all unimportant questions.

But the key is here.

Wang Qi knew everything about other issues, even when he was weaned when he was a child, he said clearly.

But when it came to the mysterious person he met, Wang Qi didn't say a word.

Either he said that he forgot, or he said that he didn't know the identity of the other party, and he didn't know what to do by himself. After asking too many questions, he didn't say anything, and there was still a blank look in his eyes. Let the two believe it.

"But he must know something, that's for sure."

Meng Qing said with certainty.

To help Wang Qi escape, to inform Wang Qi, there must be such a mysterious person, and Wang Qi should have met him at least once, not to mention knowing his identity and appearance, at least he should know who he is. Male or female, old or young.

But Wang Qi just asked three questions and didn't know anything, no one would believe what he said.

"Okay, you guys take a break, I'll ask him."

When Meng Qing and Liu Yuan were thinking, Zheng Hong suddenly walked in from the outside and said to the two who were obviously overtired.

"Head Zheng."

"Master Zheng."

Meng Qing and Liu Yuan got up to greet them, Zheng Hong nodded to them and said:
"You have also been interrogating for several days, it is enough, go back and rest, I will handle it here."

With Zheng Hong's words, Meng Qing and Liu Yuan couldn't say anything more, and the two had indeed reached their limit, each greeted Zheng Hong, then turned and left.

It wasn't until the two left that Zheng Hong sat on the interrogation table, looked at Wang Qi in front of him, didn't speak, and just took out an incense burner from his arms.

The incense burner was not big, only about the size of a small palm. Zheng Hong took it out, lit it with a torch, and just put it on the wooden table and waited quietly.

After about a cup of tea, Wang Qi who was hung up suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards Zheng Hong in horror.

Zheng Hong crossed his legs and put them on the table. Shi Shiran looked at him and asked with a smile:

"woke up?"

"You...you are..."

"Xingshenxiang, a rare treasure that is specially designed to remind people of forgotten things, it is not worth mentioning, but it seems that you should have remembered everything."

"I said!! I can say everything!! It's the court...it's the emperor—"

Before Wang Qi finished speaking, Zheng Hong threw the wooden block on the desk and smashed it on his mouth.

Wang Qi shut his mouth in pain, Zheng Hong clapped his hands and said:
"Don't talk nonsense, be careful not to save your life."

"..."

Wang Qi dared not speak this time, but looked at Zheng Hong tremblingly.

Zheng Hong nodded in satisfaction, and then said:

"Very well, let's continue."

Zheng Hong said so, but Wang Qi was at a loss.

He who had just been reprimanded by Zheng Hong didn't know what the other party wanted to ask at this moment.

.........

Liu Yuan yawned and walked down the street with an umbrella in hand.

The weather in Ningzhou was still gloomy, and it was raining non-stop. Under the accumulation of rainwater, there was water on the Qingshiban road. In some places, the water could even reach the ankles.

Every time Liu Yuan goes to work and returns home, his feet are always wet, and there is no dry place on his body.

Such weather, coupled with his own sleepiness, made Liu Yuan even more unmotivated, and he wobbled a little when he walked, as if he was drunk.

Tired and sleepy Liu Yuan, at this moment, just wants to go home and wash his body with hot water to relieve fatigue, and then lie down on the bed and have a good sleep.

But he didn't want to go halfway, he saw a group of refugees sitting at the gate of the magistrate's government office under the heavy rain.

These refugees did not open umbrellas, and they were only wearing a simple coir raincoat. Liu Yuan could still see that there were children among these people. At the gate, no one answered.

Looking at the group of refugees, Liu Yuan couldn't help but stop.

"This...these people are...?"

Liu Yuan stared at them blankly, and when he saw a policeman beside him, he hurriedly went to the policeman to inquire.

The arrester looked at Liu Yuan's attire and the bronze medal hanging around his waist, his original laziness disappeared immediately, and he quickly saluted Liu Yuan:
"Reporting to my lord, these people... These people are villagers in the lower reaches of Ningzhou City. Because their villages were flooded, they gathered here to seek help from the magistrate."

"Then why are these people sitting here? The magistrate... isn't there?"

Looking at the government office with its closed gate, Liu Yuan was even more surprised.

The catcher said helplessly:

"It's not that the magistrate is not here... It's just that this group of people are quite unruly, and the magistrate just doesn't want to see them."

"What do you mean?"

Liu Yuan frowned.

The policeman looked Liu Yuan up and down, and said:

"My lord, forgive me for being presumptuous, you must have just arrived in Ningzhou City, right?"

"So what?"

"That's no wonder, you don't understand the rules in the city of this state. If you want to see the magistrate, you can't come here directly like this. You need to report to the local county magistrate first, and you can only come here with the county magistrate's permission.

"Even if you don't have the permission of the county magistrate, it doesn't matter. When you come to the city, first go to the Civil Affairs Department. If you have any grievances, the Civil Affairs Department will submit it, and then the Magistrate will handle it. When the Magistrate can't handle it, you can issue a decree before the matter can be handed over to you." Lord Prefect."

When the policeman said this, he looked at the group of refugees and said:

"These people, without the permission of the local county magistrate, without the order of the civil affairs department, and without the order of the magistrate, just ran to the magistrate's office to make trouble. It’s already a blessing.”

Liu Yuan opened his mouth in astonishment when he heard what the policeman said.

He has been a policeman in Dan'an City for many years, but he has never heard of such rules. Although the county magistrate of Dan'an City is incompetent, he will do his best to deal with people who come to him, even if he ends up being a police officer. He will at least fulfill his responsibilities even if he throws his hands away at the shopkeeper.

But why did they arrive at Ningzhou City, the people had already piled up at the gate of the magistrate's yamen, but they didn't even have a reception, and they watched them outside in the rain?
While Liu Yuan was stunned, he also felt a little indignant. He said to the arrester quickly:

"Even I don't understand these rules, how can these people understand?"

"My lord, it doesn't matter if you don't understand, but these people came from the local county, how could they not know the rules here? They probably didn't get the county magistrate's permission, so they gathered here spontaneously.

"If you don't know the rules, how can the magistrate see them?"

What the policeman said was clear and honest, and it seemed that he had worked in Ningzhou City for a long time.

Liu Yuan didn't like it when he heard it. Although the rules are rules, the rules are also made by people.

These people lost their hometown due to the flood, and came here from home in exile. I hope that the prefect can uphold justice. Even if they are a little unruly, even if they sympathize with these people, there should be an exception, right?
Not to mention anything else, it's okay to prepare a shelter for these people!
"That shouldn't let them get wet here!"

Liu Yuan frowned.

But the catcher said:
"Who made them stay here? It's not like they don't have a place to stay! The young master of the Gu family is... the recently famous young master Gu Ningshun. Seeing how pitiful they are, the Gu family specially prepared a place to take them in and give them back. Hot water and food are provided.

"But they would rather stay here than go back, my lord, can you blame us for this?"

Hearing what the policeman said and Gu Chen was mentioned, Liu Yuan was taken aback for a moment, but then he felt somewhat relieved.

Gu Chen is a kind-hearted person, Liu Yuan already knew this.

But after all, his identity is there. After returning to Ningzhou City, Gu Chen may not be able to do many things. Even if he does nothing, Liu Yuan will feel normal.

But he didn't expect that even if he came to the Gu family in Ningzhou, Gu Chen would still do these things for these people despite his status that he was not regarded by the Gu family.

I don't know if Ning Shun, who finished all this, was reprimanded by the Gu family.

Thinking of this, Liu Yuan looked up at the refugees again, and stopped thinking about going home to rest, turned around and walked towards Gu's house.

He was going to see Gu Chen, and by the way, tell Gu Chen what happened here.

The refugees may be a bit out of line, but they shouldn't sit here and suffer. After all, they are human beings, the people of the Great Qi Dynasty.
