Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 263
Xiao Wu seemed to be still thinking about the question in his heart, he nodded blankly, and walked out of the room.

In the county government prison, Chang Feng walked into one of the cells with a gloomy expression.

"Lu Jitong, you'd better tell the truth, where are those Dongying people now? Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you!" Chang Feng grabbed Lu Jitong and shouted in a low voice.

Lu Jitong looked up at him, and said expressionlessly, "Why are you so rude?"

Chang Feng snorted coldly, turned around and walked to the wall, picked up a leather whip soaked in salt water, and said angrily: "Since you want to know so much, I will grant you!"

As he spoke, Chang Feng whipped the whip violently.

The whip made of python skin made a loud cracking sound when it was struck by Chang Feng.

However, what Changfeng didn't expect was that the whip was not on Lu Jitong's body, but was caught in his hand!
Although Lu Jitong's hands and feet were tied with iron chains, his hands were not bound, so he was easily caught by him the moment the whip was drawn.

It was at this moment that Chang Feng found out that Lu Jitong possessed martial arts, and the martial arts were not weak.

"You know martial arts?" Chang Feng looked a little surprised.

"Of course I know martial arts." Lu Jitong looked calm. He looked at the furious Chang Feng and said calmly, "Chang Butou, why do you have to find Dongying people?"

"This matter has nothing to do with you, you just need to tell where the Dongying people are hiding." Chang Feng snorted angrily.

"Since Chang Butou said so, please go back." Lu Jitong let go of his whip and said lightly.

"You!" Chang Feng was suddenly a little annoyed, pointing at him and just about to yell at him, he heard Lu Jitong say, "Captain Chang, I have already been convicted as a murderer, and I will be beheaded sooner or later, so how can I be afraid of your torture?"

Chang Feng was stunned for a moment, and then heard him continue: "I do know those people from Dongying, but I want to know the reason. How did they offend Chang Butou?"

Chang Feng thought about it, since the adults were already dead anyway, there was nothing to worry about, so he briefly told him what happened.

"I see. No wonder you are looking for Dongying people everywhere. Since you have told the truth, I will not hide it anymore. Yes, I do know those Dongying people." Lu Jitong said in a calm tone.

"Oh, tell me, where are they? I'm going to capture them and avenge my lord!" Chang Feng growled with his eyes tearing open.

"They are all hiding in Tianlai Inn." Lu Jitong said.

Chang Feng frowned, and said, "The Tianlai Inn has long been empty, where are they now?"

Lu Jitong raised his hands, shook the iron chains on his hands vigorously, and said, "I have been locked in a prison for the past few days, where are they hiding, and how do I know?"

"Hmph, don't lie to me. Those Dongying people came to Zhengyang, and you booked the whole Tianlai Inn for them. Don't you know where they are hiding?" Chang Feng said angrily.

Lu Jitong was silent for a moment, then said, "I can help you find out their whereabouts, but you have to promise me one thing."

"What's the matter? If I let you go, I can't make the decision." Chang Feng said with his arms folded.

"Don't worry, murder pays for life. I know the crime is serious, and I won't let you let me go." Lu Jitong said indifferently, "I just want Chief Chang to deliver a letter for me."

Chang Feng frowned, touched his chin and said in a cold voice, "Could you be looking for someone to rescue you?"

Lu Jitong smiled, and he pulled his hands violently, and the iron chain tied around his wrist was cut into two pieces.

Chang Feng was taken aback, quickly pulled out the simple knife, and shouted: "Lu Jitong, what are you going to do? Do you want to escape from prison?"

Lu Jitong smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry about arresting the head. I just want to explain one thing to you. If I really want to escape from prison, it will be as easy as pie."

Chang Feng looked at him cautiously, Lu Jitong was right, he could easily break the iron chain, and his martial arts were absolutely unfathomable.

Just relying on the prison in Zhengyang County, plus a few guards, there is no constraint on him at all.

"Your martial arts are so high, why do you still have to stay in the prison?" Chang Feng put away the simple knife and looked at him coldly.

"As I said, I won't run away from murder." Lu Jitong glanced at him and said deeply.

Chang Feng thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you."

Lu Jitong narrowed his eyes, and said calmly, "If that's the case, then it's time to catch the head."

"Hmph, I always keep my word. But you better not lie to me, otherwise I will never forgive you." Chang Feng ordered someone to bring a pen and paper, and said coldly.

"As long as you do what I say, you will be able to find those Dongying people." Lu Jitong said calmly.

After bringing the pen and paper, Lu Jitong quickly wrote something, and then handed it to Chang Fengdao: "I'm sorry to arrest you and send this letter to the 'Zhenyu Pavilion', and give it to a girl named Xingzi."

Chang Feng put the letter paper close to his body, nodded and said: "Now you can say, how can we find those Dongying people?"

Lu Jitong smiled slightly and said, "Don't be in a hurry to catch the head, you send this letter first, and there will be a solution."

Chang Feng frowned, pondered and said: "I believe you just once, but you are a murderer after all, so I have to wrong you."

As he said that, Chang Feng ordered the jailer to bring some thicker iron chains.

Lu Jitong didn't care, he stretched out his hands and let Chang Feng bind his hands with iron chains.

On this day, the Zhengyang county government office suddenly hung white flowers, and the whole county government office was filled with a dignified and sad atmosphere.

Pedestrians stopped one after another, gathered together curiously, and talked about what happened.

"What's going on here, why did the yamen suddenly hang a white cloth?"

"It's not very clear. From the situation, someone should have died."

"Well, to be able to hang plain clothes in the yamen must be a person of great status."

……

Just as everyone was guessing who died, Xiao Wu came out with a heavy expression on his face. He looked at the people gathered in front of the yamen, and said sadly: "Fathers and elders, I want to tell you a piece of sad news. My lord... ...the immortal passed away!"

As soon as these words came out, it was as if a stone was thrown on the calm lake, causing thousands of waves.

"What? The one who died was the county magistrate?"

"This...impossible, isn't it? The county magistrate was still deciding cases before, so how could he say that he died as soon as he died?"

Everyone was shocked, and turned their attention to Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu nodded heavily, and said with a sad face: "I, like everyone else, can't believe that the adults just went like this, but the fact is true."

"Your Excellency has always been well, so why did you just go as soon as you said that?" An old man leaned on a cane and asked tearfully.

Xiao Wu sighed, and said: "Your Excellency has always suffered from heart disease, and this sudden attack is really unexpected."

"How could this be? My lord loves the people like a son, and has solved so many troubles for the people. How can he just go away!" The old man choked up a few words, and said tremblingly: "When the lord was here, we waited for the people not to Kowtow to your lord, now that your lord has passed away, can you let me wait for the people to see you for the last time?"
