Master Wang had already put on an amiable smile, bowed forward, and said with a smile, "It turns out to be Mr. Zhong Dashan, so disrespectful." He bowed extremely politely.

Zhong Ran responded politely, "I don't dare to claim to be a good person. It's just that getting married is a major event in life. I just want to celebrate it with the whole world and let everyone enjoy it."

Liu Chunmei remained cold-faced and silent, pacing back and forth on the ground, sighing and shaking her head, as if she was thinking about something hesitating and entangled.

Zhong Ran didn't move or speak.

Mr. Liu, who solved the case, had an old-fashioned character. Mr. Wang always had a nice word to say after the banquet she invited, but she only looked at her one more time.

Master Wang also looked complicated at this time.

After half a cup of tea, Liu Chunmei spoke, "Although it is a good thing that you entertained the people to save them from starving to death, it is also true that you killed three people in a row and destroyed three families with cruel methods. One code for another, all I can do is spare you from the death penalty, but..." After a pause, she said again.

"But according to Qingshang's law, you are an exile at the very least, exiled to the cold and miserable Qingcheng."

Qingcheng is only a hundred miles away from here, but the climate is even worse than here. Qingcheng is only separated from Bingguo Huasheng by a river. You can imagine how cold it is there. It is said that criminals exiled there can only survive a month.

Zhong Ran cupped his fists and bowed, "I know that I have committed a heinous crime, and it is not a pity to die. It's just that I don't want to leave my husband at home, so I got married for more than a month and left him a widow. It's just that the Qingshang law cannot be violated. Exile is already Your Excellency has found the best way out for me, and I am very grateful." He bowed deeply to express his gratitude.

A flash of anger turns beauty into beauty.

Even if his life is in danger, he still misses his husband at home.

What a passionate, affectionate and righteous woman!

Liu Chunmei nodded happily, her cold expression softened, and patted her shoulder, "As expected of a lady from the Zhong family, with such courage to hide away from mountains and seas. You can rest assured and stay in the prison. I will go see the city lord at dawn and tell this matter Tell her, see if you can still deal with it, Madam Zhong, don’t worry, if you use all your wealth to save the people of the city from danger, the Lord of the City, as the parents of the people, will definitely not let you die in a foreign land."

It was not easy for her to say these words to the old-fashioned woman who fulfilled her duties. Zhong Ran placed his hope on the city lord.

Master Wang also said, "Yes, Sister Ran, please feel free."

"grateful."

Afterwards Zhong Ran was invited to the prison.

Not only was the single room also equipped with new bedding and a charcoal brazier, Zhong Ran was lying on the soft bedding, feeling warm.

Liu Chunmei, who couldn't seem to be strict about her work, still gave her such a good treatment in prison, which shows that she has a good heart and is a repaying kindness.

She wasn't worried about her situation, she just felt bad thinking that Yi Bing was worried about her at home.

He must have been frightened for being so delicate and timid.

The next day, the bully Wang Li and the other two evil family members came to the Yamen. They knelt on the ground in the hall and cried heartbrokenly, accusing Zhong Ran of his murderous behavior.

Liu Chunmei listened patiently to their cries, and said that Zhong Ran had been imprisoned to await sentencing. She also listed the various evil deeds of the three bullies over the years, and strongly expressed that they deserved their crimes.

The family members of the three bullies continued to cry. Master Wang explained that each of their families would receive a lot of compensation, which would be sent to them after the incident was judged. Then they left crying.

After seeing them off, Liu Chunmei immediately went to the City Lord's Mansion.

Bai Lu gave some money to the prison guard and successfully met Zhong Ran.

She was completely stunned when she saw Zhong Ran's appearance at this time.

This man was wrapped in a soft quilt, with snacks and fruits placed in front of him, as well as a warm charcoal basin.

Is this going to jail? This is obviously a blessing.

Her eyes almost popped out before she came back to her senses. No wonder she said she wouldn't die. Did it look like she was about to behead her?

The money given to the prison chief was not wasted.

Zhong Ran peeled an orange, threw one to her, and glanced at him, "I've been waiting for you for two days, and I thought you wouldn't come?"

Bai Lu smiled with wrinkles on her face, "I have something to do at home, so I came here a day late." She held the orange and smelled it, but she was still reluctant to eat it and stuffed it into her sleeves.

Zhong Ran made a sound.

This guy has probably lost his hair in the past two days. He is hesitant to do this. After all, it is a matter of murder. Once he gets involved, it will be better if she is acquitted. If not, she will also be unlucky. She will definitely... Life is not guaranteed.

"Your willingness to come here proves that you regard me as a family member. Don't worry, get things done. Your benefits will be indispensable to me after I go out."

"What are you talking about, my daughter-in-law? We are a family to begin with. How can we not help our family members when they are in trouble?"

"Okay, put your ear closer, I have something to explain."

Bai Lu quickly listened. After listening to Zhong Ran's words, Bai Lu almost rolled her eyes and fainted without being frightened. Zhong Ran grabbed her arm to prevent her from fainting and cursed angrily.

"Look at how brave you are, how can I scare you with such a stupid thing? I'm not asking you to do it, I'm just creating a scene to scare you."

"But that is the husband of the Lord of the City. If the Lord of the City finds out in the future, he will kill the whole family." Bai Lu felt that she should not come at all today. If Zhong Ran came out later, he would say a few words to her at most. Life would be difficult without her relief, but if she did this and was exposed, the whole family would die without a burial place.

"I told you it's okay, why don't you believe me? Look, don't I live in jail with good food and drink? I have a koi fate, so I'm lucky. Don't talk nonsense. I'll give you three days to do it." Done."

Zhong Ran didn't give her a chance to speak, waved his hand, dove into the soft quilt and fell asleep.

Bai Lu wiped away tears and left in despair.

Rumors spread throughout the streets and alleys of Yuncheng that the bandits from Mount Wu were coming to the city to rob, kill and plunder. The people in the city were in danger. After eating the flowing water mat, they rushed home and locked the door. The cooks who made the flowing mat also expressed their concern. For the sake of safety, the seats for the remaining few days are only open for one hour at noon, and no waiting will be done after the expiry date.

After Cheng Ziyu finished the meal, he brought two purple sweet potato buns with him, intending to go back and give them to his wife.

The city lord is worried about Zhong Ran being imprisoned for murder. He has been discussing with Mr. Liu Chunmei from the Yamen how to let Zhong Ran escape from this disaster. Now that the bandits have come out to cause trouble again, the city lord is so worried that he can't find time to go out to eat. He didn't even have time to drink water.

The road was slippery, so he did not go out in a sedan chair. Instead, he followed two servants and the three of them hurried to the city lord's mansion.

"Stop!" Four masked men in black suddenly rushed out to block the way of the three of them. The leader put a dagger against Cheng Ziyu's neck, and the dagger made a gash in the veil around his neck.

Before the two servants following him could call for help, they were knocked unconscious by other masked men in black clothes with sticks.

The leading masked man in black threatened, "Don't shout, I only want money."

Cheng Ziyu was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground and couldn't shout a word. Several people gagged his mouth, tied his hands and feet, and carried him away.

During a cup of tea, the two servants who had been knocked unconscious were woken up by the cold. They looked around for anyone. When they didn't see anyone, they hurriedly reported the news to the city lord's palace.

News spread throughout the city that the city lord's beloved husband, who had just married, was kidnapped by bandits.
