"My lord, it has nothing to do with Humble. It's all about Cheng Yuguan. She didn't know why she flew away. Didn't Zhao Xunjian say that Cheng Yuguan was good? She must have done it when someone opened the door. Humble really I don't know what's going on!"

The female supervisor lay on the ground and howled.On the one hand, she was really afraid of the majesty of the magistrate, and on the other hand, she was messing around. She cried and shouted herself, and the magistrate would not be too harsh on her.

At this moment, Yu Zhixian's face turned black with anger. Seeing that the female prisoner was crying and fussing, he knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he just looked at Zhao Xunjian.

Inspector Zhao noticed the magistrate's gaze, and his thin face was bitter, "My lord, I really did wait for Liu Zeming and Young Master Liu to enter the cell yesterday before leaving, and I was fine at that time."

"What Liu Zeming? In the official office, in the middle of the night, how can there be outsiders here?"

Being suddenly reprimanded by the magistrate, Zhao Xunjian was stunned for a moment before he realized it.

"Yes, yes, there is no one else, my lord, but Cheng Yuguan! She escaped from prison with her reckless skills! My lord, this is a serious crime, and the city should be searched and arrested!"

At night, the gates of the city are closed tightly, and even Cheng Yuguan can't get out of Tongcheng.

Right now, the county magistrate is in charge, so he won't believe it, and he won't be able to catch Cheng Yuguan!
Thinking of this, Zhao Xunjian suddenly came to his senses, put away his sour face in an instant, got up from the ground neatly, and approached the magistrate Yu's case, bowing his hands and saluting with a solemn expression.

"My lord, Cheng Yuguan's escape from prison, no matter what the reason, is a serious crime. Please order me to take people to seal the stone shop of the Cheng family, arrest everyone in the Cheng family, and interrogate Cheng Yuguan's whereabouts! She will be caught by you!"

Yu Zhengming nodded, and said in a dignified voice, "Go find all the yamen servants, go door to door, and catch them as soon as possible!"

Those present at this time were all Zhao Xunjian and Yu Zhengming's confidantes. What he said at this time was obviously that Cheng Yuguan had violated the national law, and he could arrest people with great fanfare and justification, and there was no need to hide it.

Inspector Zhao cupped his hands, "No!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Xunjian turned around and went out with his two confidants.

Those two confidantes also fell under Cheng Yuguan's hands once, and now they are gearing up for a big fight.

The three walked out arrogantly, "Wait!"

When Yu Zhengming opened his mouth, the three of them quickly stopped, only to see Yu Zhengming pondered for a while, and then said, "Close the city gate, and open the city gate after Cheng Yuguan is found! Time is running out, mobilize all the rogues and beggars on the street!" Get up, we must find Cheng Yuguan within today!"

According to the Daqian Order, the gates of the city must not be closed arbitrarily for non-military matters, or to arrest heinous people.

After today, if Cheng Yuguan can't be found, the goal of cooperating with Liu Zeming can't be achieved, and Yu Zhengming's actions today will be ginsenged in a book by his subordinates, let alone his promotion, his status today will not be guaranteed.

Yu Zhengming did this, which shows how determined he is.

For the sake of his future, he has tried everything, and if he really fails, he will be benevolent.

"A ruthless man!"

Zhao Xunjian was shocked in his heart, but his face was even more serious.

He is now a grasshopper on the same rope as Yu Zhixian.

Only when Yu Zhixian is promoted, can he be promoted accordingly. If Yu Zhixian falls, he will also be implicated and excluded.

"Yes, my lord! Let's go!"

Zhao Xunjian turned around and jumped out of the gate of the government office, striding out, almost trotting.

...

At dawn, Cheng's stone shop was once again knocked down by Zhao Xunjian, not only forcefully, but also with arrogance and eagerness.

"Open the door, open the door! If you don't open the door, it will be smashed! Open it, do it!"

A yamen servant took a few steps back, and was about to jump up and kick it, when the door panel was removed from the inside, and the door opened.

"What are you doing? Our Cheng's stone shop is doing a good job in business. We can't get through this day, can we? Come and smash the door again and again. What's wrong with the yamen servant? The yamen servant can smash the door at will? It's only three things, you guys the first two times You didn't even give an explanation, so I want to see what your excuses are today? If you keep ambiguous, I will go to Fucheng to sue you! I don't believe it, there is no reason in this world!"

Xiao Wu rushed out of the shop, he was worried about his boss all night, and couldn't sleep because of worry, now is the time to vent.

The Cheng family's stone shop is located in the busiest commercial street in Tongcheng. The government servants came again early in the morning to disturb people's dreams.

"That's right, inspector Zhao, can Tongcheng still do business? You've come here again and again to bully a lady boss. Today I want to ask for everyone on the street and the Cheng family. Tell me, what's the matter?" What kind of enmity is it that you want to torment the Cheng family like this?"

The shopkeeper of the bookstore next door to the Cheng family couldn't help it, and pointed at Zhao Xunjian to ask him to give an explanation.

"Yes, give me an explanation!"

"It can't be like that!"

...

The merchants in the Cheng family's neighbors all stood up and accused the government servants.

If they are indifferent today, and disasters spread in the future, they will have nowhere to reason.

So gradually, everyone united and surrounded Zhao Yi and the yamen servants he brought to speak.

The law does not blame the public, and all the shopkeepers and shopkeepers with a solid foundation are present.Among other things, the book shop has been one of the most profitable businesses since ancient times. The shopkeeper of the book shop, I heard that there is a Hanlin family behind it, so he opened the largest book shop in Tongcheng safely.

Seeing this, Zhao Yi calmed down, and patiently explained, "Everyone, don't get too emotional. The shopkeeper of the Cheng family's stone shop escaped from prison yesterday, so we came here again to search for people."

As soon as the word "prison break" came out, everyone turned off their lights.

I thought it was Zhao Xunjian who was provoking quarrels, but I didn't expect that shopkeeper Cheng really did something stupid.Since there was a reason for the incident, there was no reason for them to clamor for an explanation.

"You bullshit!"

But Xiao Wu ran over from behind the crowd, pointed at Xunjian Zhao and blushed angrily.

"Last night, you came to take people away. All the people present saw you take them away with their own eyes. They came here early this morning and said that they were lost and couldn't be found. There are so many of you, my lady is just one How can a little girl who has not reached the age of hair escape from prison? In my opinion, you are the ones who disregard human life, and now you are beating me up again! My lady, my real eldest lady! Now I can’t see anyone alive or dead. Is it because they are bullying me? Dead! Miss!"

Xiao Wu cried miserably, and everyone present also reacted.

The shopkeeper of the book shop is a gentle old man, who usually likes to take out new books and say a few words to Cheng Yuguan, but now Xiao Wu cried a few words, and when he realized it, he shook his beard and said angrily, "Aren't you guys It's natural to slander people with your eyes open! Miss Yuguan is such a quiet and introverted person, and you are planted by you like this. You are just talking and slandering at will! I must write to my master and the magistrate, to Cheng Miss wants an explanation!"

"The old man is right. Whoever saw Miss Cheng escaped from prison, let him come out and confront him! Slander people with empty words!"

"Yes, bring out the witnesses and evidence!"

"Where's the evidence!"

Zhao Yi's forehead was covered with sweat.

At this moment, he somewhat understood the intention of the magistrate who would rather close the city gates than search for them.

If Cheng Yuguan is not brought back today and made into an iron case, once the shopkeepers in front of him, the boss, and the forces behind it intervene, a "small matter" that could have been covered up will ferment and become Catastrophe.

Zhao Yi was afraid and hated for a moment, regretting how he got involved in this mess.

However, there is no turning back when opening the bow. For the current plan, he can only use means to help the magistrate to deal with the aftermath as soon as possible.

After making up his mind, Zhao Yi ignored the people present, and pulled out his saber arrogantly. Under the threat of the oxtail knife shining with cold light, the people present retreated one after another.

"The yamen servant handles the case. Anyone who talks too much is obstructing the official duties. They will all be brought back and locked up!"

Seeing that everyone stopped making noise, Zhao Yi held up a knife and pointed at Cheng's stone shop, "Come on, dig three feet of ground for me, and all the people in the shop will be brought back to the yamen for interrogation!"

The yamen servants behind Zhao Yi rushed up one after another, rummaging around, and grabbing people.

Xiao Wu watched the yamen servants smashing into the house, and kept cursing, "This is all high-quality material, you won't be able to pay for it if you smash it! When the time comes, our Cheng family will deliver the goods, and we want you to look good!"

Zhao Yi was upset and asked someone to gag Xiao Wu's mouth.

Seeing more and more people gathering together, Zhao Yi felt pain in his heart.

It was originally a small matter, but it became more and more troublesome.

Zhao Yi couldn't help regretting it. If he hadn't been obsessed with taking Liu Gongzi's money that night, these two days are the end of spring and early summer, and the weather is not too cold. Wouldn't it be nice for him to sleep at home wrapped in a quilt at ease?Why bother with this game?
Zhao Yi stared at the gate of Cheng's stone shop, his eyes widened, and he only hoped that good news would come in the next second.

Unfortunately, in the end only one maid was escorted out by the yamen.

Seeing Zhang Kai holding the girl and walking straight towards him, Zhao Yi's heart skipped a beat, he only hoped for good news.

Zhang Kai held Liu Yun, bared his teeth and came to the inspector, "My lord, this little girl dared to sneak up on me, look at my arm, let her bite her!"

He stretched out his arms and let Zhao Yi see.

Zhao Yi kicked over, "I see you big-headed ghost, why are you so angry with a girl? You forgot what we did here? You bastard who can't tell the priority!"

Zhao Yi vented the increasing pressure and worries in his heart to Zhang Kai's head, and Zhang Kai hugged his head to avoid it.

"It's useless for you to beat me. The Cheng family makes stone, and the house and warehouse are all open to the bottom at a glance. It's impossible to hide people!"

Zhao Yi became even angrier when he heard the words, "It's impossible to hide people. What are you fussing about here? Time is running out, why don't you hurry up and look elsewhere?"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Yi gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, "Split me into two teams, start from Cheng's stone shop, search left and right, be sure to find someone!"

It turned out that it was from this busiest street that the city-wide search began.

When things got to such an extent, the shopkeepers present were not clamoring, but looked coldly at Zhao Yi and the gang of yamen servants.

Zhao Yi burst into tears in his heart, "The popularity he gained in Tongcheng for most of his life has been torn apart today, it's all gone!"

The sun broke through the horizon, and the street changed from dim light to bright sky, but Zhao Yi's heart grew colder and colder, the chill that could not be dispelled by the scorching sun.

"no!"

"Inspection, no!"

"Not here either!"

After reporting one by one, Zhao Yi bowed his hands and apologized to the shopkeeper's team leader present, "Everyone, I'm sorry, the county magistrate has an order to search and arrest the whole city, and I'm following orders. I'll take my leave now and don't bother me any more."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Yi led the people away in despair.

Leaving Cheng's stone shop, Zhao Yi asked Zhang Kai to lead the team to continue the search, while he himself escorted the Cheng's stone shop clerk back to the yamen.

On the way, Zhao Yi came to Xiao Wu and Liu Yun, and said kindly, "You two, I offended you. This is really not my intention. I followed orders. I think you all know that if the county magistrate doesn't say anything, how dare I take it? People? The most they can do is summon them.”

It was absolutely impossible for a county inspector to talk softly to a guy and a maid in the past.

But Zhao Xunjian did so.

Once a person has a shortcoming and people take advantage of it, how can there be dignity?

For someone like Zhao Xunjian who can't stand the temptation, once he has a head start, there is no turning back.

I thought that with the magistrate as the backer, I could go further in Tongcheng.Unexpectedly, there was a stumble at the beginning, and life disappeared.

All these things went wrong, which made Zhao Xunjian feel remorseful, and couldn't help but make amends for himself, even at the expense of softening the girl.

Xiao Wu and Liu Yun didn't follow that set, they still looked at Zhao Xunjian angrily.

Although they believed in their own lady, after all, a living person disappeared, how could they forgive the "instigator" in front of them just because of two kind words.

Seeing this, Zhao Yi didn't say any more, and only took care of the two of them from time to time along the way.

"Watch out for the threshold!"

When he came to the gate of the yamen, Zhao Yi said courteously.

Yu Zhengming, who was sitting high in the deep part of the official yamen lobby, looked at Zhao Yi's diligent and careful look, with a hint of coldness in the corner of his mouth.

Small people like Zhao Yi are the most capricious.A little bit of petty gain can be driven, and a little bit of frustration can lead to betrayal.

With a girl in front of him, he can put down his face and pretend to be courteous. If someone with a little bit of weight came to ask him, his bones would be weak, and his details would be turned upside down.

"My lord, Cheng Yuguan seems to have evaporated in the world, and there is no one at all. What shall we do next!"

After explaining Xiao Wu and Liu Yun to the prison guards for preferential treatment, Zhao Yi went to the lobby to report to the county magistrate.

Hearing no reply, Zhao Yi couldn't help raising his head and glanced at the county magistrate.Wanting to meet Yu Zhixian's gaze, Zhao Yi couldn't help shivering. It was early summer, but he felt chills all over his body.

"My lord, what's the matter? Is there something wrong with the officer?"

Zhao Yi asked cautiously.

Everything is wrong, everything has changed.

Zhao Yi couldn't help thinking.

The majestic and peaceful lobby in the past seemed to have turned into an ice cave at this moment, which made Zhao Yi feel awkward.The magistrate also seemed to have turned into a gloomy Yan Luo, his eyes swept down, without a trace of popularity.

The matter has come to this point, it is no longer a matter of Liu Zeming and others, they have chosen the leader, and the development of the current situation is already a matter between Yu Zhixian and Cheng Yuguan.

For other people's affairs, it's good to just behave, but for one's own affairs, there is no bottom line until the goal is achieved.
