Pingnan County, in prison.

This is definitely the first time in the history of Xie Jue and Fang Chuning that they have been jailed, especially if they were caught and imprisoned in the land of Beining. If this medicine is spread out, everyone will laugh.

If Xie Xun knew about this, he would definitely regard it as the greatest joy in his life. He would mention it every time he had a meal, and he would tell it again every time he talked about the embarrassing incident with his descendants.

The cell was damp and cold, with gusty wind blowing in and out. The cold wind chilled people's bones. Even masculine men like Xie Jue and Fang Chuning could not withstand the cold wind. The weather was hot in summer, and neither of them wore much clothing. They both felt extremely cold. The officials had put them in jail for half an hour, and they were not brought to trial.

Du Fang and his tribe were in the next cell. According to Du Fang, Magistrate Zhou couldn't find them in the city that day, so he posted notices everywhere. Someone in Gaoliang Village reported that they had seen them in Linjia Village, so Magistrate Zhou took people there. Linjia Village was searched. Several hundred people in Linjia Village were not sure why at first and they said they had come to see Du Fang.

Du Fang had not disclosed the identities of Xie Jue and Fang Chuning, and he probably knew what trouble they had caused. Magistrate Zhou felt that the Northern Barbarians had colluded with criminals, so he arrested Du Fang. It was impossible for the Northern Barbarians to just give up and start fighting with the government officials. There was a conflict, and they were all quickly taken to prison. Du Fang knew that they were sent in by his own people at the gate of the city, and he was extremely sorry.

Xie Jue said, "Mr. Du, you don't have to blame yourself. This happened because of me, and you were innocently affected. I haven't apologized to you yet."

Du Fang felt that his family had caused Xie Jue to come to this, and he couldn't bear Xie Jue's apology. Du Fang asked, "Didn't the prince reveal his identity to Magistrate Zhou? How dare he lock you up?"

"The county magistrate was not in the government office this week. The government officials arrested them and put them directly in jail."

"They are so brave!"

Dare to imprison Beining's only prince and the eldest son of the Marshal. Even if Fang Chuning throws away his status as the Marshal's eldest son, he is still a dignified second-grade military general.

Has a sesame little official eaten the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's courage?

County Magistrate Zhou was meeting friends in a restaurant, having fun, and was drunk. He had no sense of crisis at all. He had been searching for Xie Jue and Fang Chuning in the past two days. Zhou Bao had told the magistrate that those two people had a lot of background. Magistrate Zhou was indeed worried. For two days, he sent people to search for Xie Jue and Fang Chuning, just to see who they were. After they disappeared, he was frightened. Seeing some calm, and after catching Du Fang, Du Fang only said that they were from a clan he once knew. Young Master, County Magistrate Zhou didn't take it seriously, because Du Fang was talking about Xie Jue being the young master of the clan in Ningzhou.

Most of the clans in Ningzhou are descendants of generals. They have been in Ningzhou for generations, far away from Kyoto. Magistrate Zhou is related by marriage in the court. He has been the magistrate of Ping'an County for several years and has not been promoted. It is not because he has no connections. , has no political achievements, because even if he is promoted to the main city, he will not be able to become a governor based on his qualifications. He is a higher-ranking official, but it is not as good as in Pingnan County. In small places in the county, human relations are all about human relations. He can do it in Pingnan County. It is not necessary to be able to call the wind and rain in Yuncheng, and it has to be controlled everywhere. It would be good for him to simply become a small county magistrate in Pingnan County.

The master of the government office came to report that the two clan masters had been caught. The master asked the county magistrate Zhou to go back to the government office to deal with the matter. The master was also a well-informed person. He also noticed that Xie Jue and Fang Chuning had a good background and did not dare to tell them privately. If it was an ordinary decision, he would have handled it quietly long ago. If the incident in Ping'an County got serious, no one in the government could escape from it.

"Caught?" County Magistrate Zhou clicked his tongue, "I thought you were very capable, but even so, what did they say?"

The master lowered his voice and said in his ear, "Sir, they have never said anything, but they are so powerful. I am afraid that you will have to decide this matter personally. We dare not act arbitrarily." Magistrate Zhou held the wine glass and He lowered his eyebrows and thought deeply. His friends were all wealthy businessmen and squires from Pingnan County. Seeing this, they hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, you have many people to do, so go ahead and do your work. We will entertain you and have a nice drink some other time."

Magistrate Zhou exchanged blame with the wealthy businessmen and gentry, and after leaving the restaurant with his master, he turned around and cursed, "Those two are just clan lords from Ningzhou. They don't know the heights of the world, but they dare to interfere with the affairs of Pingnan County. Since they have been caught Man, you can just deal with it privately, but why did you make it in front of me? I managed to gather these wealthy businessmen together, but before the serious business could even begin, you interrupted me without even a wink!"

The master was also in a dilemma. He could make the decision on ordinary things in the yamen, but he didn't dare to do this. He hurriedly apologized and said, "Sir, this matter has caused a big fuss. The Northern Barbarians have also arrested several people. I really don't dare to make a decision in private."

"It's worthless!"

County Magistrate Zhou cursed and got on the carriage. The master also got on the carriage and returned to the government office. Magistrate Zhou asked uncertainly, "They really didn't explain anything?"

"My subordinates asked them whose surname they were, and they only said their surname was Fang. They didn't say anything else, and their identities were not revealed at all."

Magistrate Zhou has been rampant in Pingnan County for many years, and he is also well connected with the court. He really does not take the clans of Ningzhou seriously. "There is no clan named Fang in Ningzhou. They may be small families. Now, The family has some spare money and has a delicate body, so he dares to call him a prince. Ha... If he really had a high status and declared himself a family long ago, how could he tolerate such a humiliating thing as going to jail? He must be a young man who was traveling and was robbed by the robbers Later, I wanted the government to provide justice. They are from Ningzhou, so it is not surprising that they know the Northern Barbarians."

"Sir, how should we deal with this matter? They have been in Pingnan County for a few days. They should not know, but they also know." The master reminded the county magistrate, "The northern barbarians must have told them about the fields. If they go home Talking nonsense with elders is also not good for them."

"What do you think should be done?"

"As usual..." The master gestured to his neck and made a beheading gesture.

The county magistrate looked at idiots, "Are they ordinary people? Can they be killed at will? We must first understand the reason for dealing with such low-status young masters. If they are sensible, everyone will be in peace." Yes, if they are ignorant, we will teach them the rules."

"Yes, that's what the adults said!"

In the prison, Fang Chuning finally cleared a clean place for Xie Jue to sit down and rest. Xie Jue didn't mind it and closed his eyes to rest. Du Fang said worriedly, "My lord, this county magistrate is so bold. If he directly goes against you, you You must report your family status to avoid being harmed by him."

Xie Jue chuckled and did not answer. Fang Chuning said, "Since the county magistrate is so audacious, if we report our family status, the chance of survival is very slim, he will not stop doing it, and no one who knows about it will be able to escape. If he comes directly to prove it, even if this matter is investigated, there will be no witnesses, so who can do anything to him?"
