Gu Nanzhi was frightened by his behavior. She was just a county head with no real power, so she didn't need to be like this. She looked at Tanzhou Zhizhou calmly and said, "Sir, please rise."

The magistrate of Tanzhou looks like he is in his early forties, but he looks honest and honest. If he sits in his position, how can he be without a city government?

When she was sizing up Tanzhou Zhi Cheng Yuan, Cheng Yuan was also sizing her up secretly. Huo Cen, who was next to the master, suddenly asked someone to send him a letter, telling him that the chief of Huayang County was here and asked him to treat her as his wife. The same offerings made him frightened.

News came from Kyoto that your Excellency is about to get married to Cui's daughter.

So he didn't think about Xie Ni.

What he was thinking was, could this be Mr. Huo's friendship?Look at this appearance, and look at this figure, Mr. Huo is really lucky.

"Is this how your Excellency hears cases? What does this mean? You're beaten into submission?" Gu Nanzhi's face was cold. She had been the mistress of the Hou family for half her life in her previous life, and she had a calm and authoritative demeanor.

Cheng Yuan saw beads of sweat on his forehead when she looked at him, "I wonder what the relationship between the county lord and the criminal is?"

Gu Nanzhi asked: "Is this important?"

She paused, looked back at Pei Zhaojiang, who was still unconscious, and said hoarsely, "He is my brother."

Cheng Yuan's eyes flashed slightly, this matter might be difficult to handle.

Gu Nanzhi said bluntly: "I ask your Excellency to re-examine the case. I don't believe that my brother can cheat, let alone kill someone."

Cheng Yuan was a little embarrassed, "But, there are all the witnesses and material evidence in this case, and tomorrow is the day of execution."

Gu Nanzhi narrowed his eyes in displeasure, "Sir, can you guarantee that there is no injustice in this case? Sometimes what you see may not necessarily be what you believe."

this……

Cheng Yuan hesitated. He glanced at the half-dead Pei Zhaojiang. Jiang Chengzong was his brother-in-law, and this was the person Mr. Huo specially wrote to take care of. He was caught in the middle, and it was a bit difficult to behave!

"Why are you so embarrassed?" Gu Nanzhi had already asked Linglong to investigate. Everyone present at the time of the crime must find out the truth and clear Pei Zhaojiang's name.

"You should know that he is not only my brother, but also a disciple of Zhou Daru." Gu Nanzhi moved Zhou Daru out. It was only on the way that she learned from Qingsong that except for the dean of Yuelu Academy, no one else I didn’t know that Pei Zhaojiang was a disciple of Zhou Daru.

This identity should be substantial enough.

Sure enough, Cheng Yuan's eyes opened slightly in shock. He, he turned out to be Zhou Daru's disciple.

In the end, he had to agree, but gave Gu Nazhi a three-day deadline. If she could not prove Pei Zhaojiang's innocence within three days, he would still have to pay for Jiang Chengzong's life.

After Cheng Yuan left, Gu Nazhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

For Huo Cen's sake, Cheng Yuan asked someone to move Pei Zhaojiang to a relatively tidy cell.

The doctor prescribed medicine. Shuang Jiang grabbed the medicine as quickly as possible, boiled the medicine, and fed Pei Zhaojiang to drink it.

Even after drinking the medicine, his body was still very hot. Gu Nanzhi took care of him every step of the way and kept putting a handkerchief on his head, just hoping that others would wake up soon.

Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang stood aside to help her.

In the blink of an eye, it was already midnight.

Pei Zhaojiang drank the medicine again, and Gu Nanzhi reached out to touch his forehead. Seeing that his body temperature had finally dropped, the tight string in his heart suddenly relaxed. He had been driving for a day and a night, but she deliberately ignored him. The fatigue suddenly surged up.

She lay beside the wooden bed and fell asleep without realizing it.

It was cold in the cell, so Bai Lu picked up a thin blanket and put it on her body, and she and Shuang Sheng stayed by her side. Soon they both started to doze off, and they were all asleep in a while.

Qingsong was also guarding the cell. Compared to them, he was even more exhausted. After learning that Pei Zhaojiang's body temperature was normal, he rolled his eyes and fell asleep.

In the dark prison, there was no distinction between day and night. No matter how long it took, Pei Zhaojiang slowly opened his eyes. In the past few days, he had been enveloped in boundless darkness.

A bright light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, making him extremely uncomfortable.

His eyes were distracted, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality. He blinked hard several times, and the pain from his body instantly brought him back to reality.

oh!It turned out to be not a dream!

He smiled bitterly. Even if there was light shining into his eyes, his eyes were still dim, as dead as a dry well. He knew he was going to die.

He has a bad life anyway.

Why should we fear death?

The only thing he couldn't worry about was her...

If he could see her again before dying, he would die without regrets.

Thinking this way, he felt more and more bitter.

Suddenly, a long breath caught his attention. He was slightly startled and moved his eyes slowly.

A person who could not possibly appear here came into his eyes without any warning.

"Sister..." His nose felt sore and tears welled up in his eyes. This must be his imagination!

He looked at Gu Nanzhi in a daze, not daring to blink, for fear that she would disappear if he blinked.

Did God hear his prayer?

"Sister, sister..." His eyes were filled with tears, and he kept calling her one after another, but all he saw was that his lips were moving and no sound came out.

God treated him well!

He laughed while crying, breaking through the confinement in his heart, slowly raising his hand, gently falling on her face, and describing her eyebrows and eyes carefully.

Knowing that this is inevitable.

Just let him indulge once.

Just this once!

Feeling itchy on her face, Gu Nanzhi couldn't help but frown. Suddenly remembering something, she opened her eyes suddenly and said with great surprise: "Third brother, you're awake."

Her soft voice struck Pei Zhaojiang's heart every word.

His hand was stiff and frozen in mid-air. This was true, she was really here...
