Chapter 504: The capital officer arrests the head
It was a dilapidated donkey cart with no carriage and a flat shape. Dozens of wine jars as big as human heads were neatly stacked on it, as well as a push of messy straw.

The thousand-faced fox lay comfortably on the pile of straw.

He held a large wine jar in both hands and poured wine while the donkey cart rocked.

After drinking, it’s so nice to enjoy the scenery along the road again!
The donkey pulling the cart is an old donkey, led by an old man. The old man walks slowly, so the donkey cart naturally moves slowly.

"Good wine!"

The Thousand-faced Fox took another sip of wine and placed the wine jar beside him. His clothes were already wet with wine, and he lay contentedly on the slow and swaying donkey cart.

At this time, drunkenly, he saw a group of people coming quickly on the official road behind him.

He didn't pay attention, but after taking another sip of wine, he shook his head and stared, oh!It turned out that Su Xian chased after him.

"parking!"

He loudly ordered the old man leading the old donkey to stop, jumped up from the straw pile, got out of the car drunk, and stopped by the roadside waiting for Su Xian to approach.

"Brother Su, we are indeed good brothers!" Thousand-faced Fox was very excited and took the initiative to greet Su Xian who had just dismounted. As he walked, the unruly strand of hair in front of his forehead fluttered in the wind.

"I'm already on my way, but brother Su chased me up on horseback to see me off..." Qianmianhu was really touched, he patted Su Xian's shoulders with both hands, and wanted to hug him.

However, Su Xian gently pulled him aside.

Su Xian chased him all the way here, but it took a lot of effort. He was already a little angry, and now he heard what Thousand Faces Fox said... Are you chasing him to give him a ride?
Su Xian suddenly became angry and amused. He glared and said, "Since we are good brothers, why did you leave without saying hello? You are leaving without saying goodbye..."

Thousand-faced Fox was a little ashamed, but quickly found the reason and said confidently:

"It's all the fault of that old man. An urgent letter came today, in which I was ordered to return to Beijing immediately. There must be no mistakes...Brother Su, you know that although I am the second head arrester of the prison department, Many times I can’t help myself…”

"..."

The corner of Su Xian's mouth twitched fiercely, pointing to the dilapidated donkey cart and the old donkey pulling the cart, and asked: "The second catcher is rushing so fast, is this what you call 'returning to Beijing quickly'?"

"Uh……"

The Thousand-Faced Fox laughed, fooled him, and then complained about the bad old man who sent the letter. It was all his fault, otherwise the Thousand-Faced Fox would not have left without saying goodbye.

Su Xian recalled the twists and turns along the way and was in a bad mood, so he also followed Qianmianhu to complain about that bad old man, scolding very badly.

For example, "steal all the old guy's coffin books", "lock that old guy in a dark prison without giving him food", etc.

"By the way, who is that bad old man you're talking about?" Su Xian scolded for a while, then suddenly remembered this question.

"The person at the helm of the criminal and prison department, Shao Sikou!" Qianmianhu said carelessly, with an indifferent look.

"Young... Sikou?!"

However, Su Xian was taken aback. Both the Prison Division and the Internal Guard were the privileged yamen of Daliang, and Shao Si Kou was at the helm of the Criminal Prison Division, whose status was equivalent to that of the Chief of the Internal Guard.

Such people were scolded so miserably by them just now... Su Xian was a little embarrassed.

The personal guards who followed Su Xian also looked astonished. Even Princess Lanling did not dare to make too much trouble against Shao Sikou, but what did they hear just now?
"Brother Su, it's rare that you came all the way to see me off. How about we find a nearby restaurant and get drunk? Just think of it as Brother Su, you have practiced it for me." Thousand-faced Huhun didn't care.

"Second Catcher, I didn't catch up with you to practice it for you." Su Xian immediately came to his senses, and it was important to get down to business.

"Ah?" Qianmianhu was stunned, and stood there for a while.

"The thing is like this..." Su Xian didn't waste any more time, and explained the current crisis that Daliang was facing and the strategies they had discussed.

Finally, Su Xian asked him to take action and secretly went to the Liao Kingdom to stir up conflicts among the various tribes in the Liao Kingdom and buy Daliang some breathing time.

After Su Xian finished speaking, seeing the hesitation on Qian Mian Hu's face, he directly took out his trump card and said: "Do you still remember the second arrester? Do you still owe me two things?"

When he thought about it, the prison chief, who always kept his promises, would immediately agree after hearing this.

As expected, Thousand Faced Fox had a serious look on his face, patted his chest and said, "Yes, I will definitely find a way to accomplish what I promised to go out. Naturally, I still remember the three things I promised you."

Su Xian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. His journey was not in vain, and he finally managed to defeat the Thousand-Faced Fox.

However, just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Thousand Faced Fox say: "But... that bad old man in Shendu ordered me to return to Beijing quickly, saying that he had something important to do."

Su Xian's heart rose again after he had just let go. He looked at the Thousand-faced Fox blankly and thought to himself, was he planning to go back on his word?The people in the Prison Department really have no taboos in their actions.

"Brother Su, don't look at me like this. We agreed at the beginning. I promised to help you with three things, but the premise is that the official work of the prison director will not be delayed." Qian Mianhu reminded.

After Su Xian heard this, he immediately recalled the details of the original negotiation. This was indeed included... Now it seems that the Thousand Faced Fox cannot be invited.

Just when he was frustrated, Qianmianhu changed the topic and said with a smile: "However, since it was Brother Su who spoke, then I have to sell you face no matter what."

"What do you mean?" Su Xian wondered.

"I decided to ignore that bad old man in Shendu, not return to Shendu, and go to Liao Kingdom instead!" Thousand-faced Fox said with a smile.

"Why?" Su Xian's frustration was gone, but he was still confused.

"..."

Not only was Su Xian confused, but the guards and soldiers who followed were also confused by Monk Zhang Er.

That was the dignified prison chief's second arrest, and he openly disobeyed the order of the young commander for Su Xian!
The soldiers all looked at Su Xian with strange expressions, wondering what the capabilities of this Su Xianyi were.
"Hahahaha, not only am I going to go undercover in Liao Kingdom, but Brother Su, you don't have to waste a single favor." Thousand Faced Fox said with a smile.

"Why is this again?"

"Because in the urgent letter sent by that bad old man, in addition to asking me to return to Beijing quickly, he also said one thing, which is related to you, Brother Su."

"Is it related to...me?" Su Xian was stunned. In his impression, he had no connection with Shao Sikou of the Prison Department.

"Not bad!"

Thousand-faced Fox looked at Su Xian with gleaming eyes, patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "That bad old man gave you the position of 'Captain of the Chief' in the Department of Punishments and Prisons in the letter."

"Captain... arresting the head?" Su Xian continued to wonder. There were so many questions that his head almost exploded.

"Moreover, Old Man Zao also said in the letter that if Brother Su has any request, Third Brother and I must try our best to satisfy it... So I followed your invitation and went to Liao Kingdom for a visit, and I also respected Old Man Zao's order. , there is nothing wrong with it!”

"So that's how it is..."

For the time being, Su Xian put aside the idea of ​​"capturing the head by the general officer" and the purpose of the young Sikou. He looked at the Thousand-faced Fox and said, "Without further delay, the second captor, please leave for the Liao Kingdom as soon as possible!"
