Jinwuzang charming boy

Chapter 76 Suicide [8.11]

When Cao Xi heard the Marquis of Qingyang express his guess, he felt a thunderbolt from the nine heavens strike on his head——

Thinking about Cao Xi's years of being an official, he hasn't done anything harmful to nature, how can he invite such disasters while sitting at home peacefully?

"...I wonder how sure Hou Jun is?"

Cao Xi spoke with a gloomy face.

As soon as these words came out, Qingyanghou and Nie Changkong who came with him were taken aback for a moment. They were terrified by their own speculation before, and they even forgot to think about it - the identity of Mr. Chen was also their guess after all. It's just that, I'm not completely sure,... What if I make a mistake?

In the end, it was the Marquis of Qingyang who made the final decision, "This is the end of the matter, why not give it a try."

Chen Xiaojiao looked at the stone wall of the prison cell, but lost her mind for some time.

Probably out of concern for his identity, those headhunters put him in a corner of the prison, which was much quieter, and there was no one in the left and right cells.

As for the cell where he was imprisoned, although it was not fully equipped with tables, couches, chairs, soft quilts and thin quilts, it did look like it had been tidied up. Except for the dim light, the cell was considered tidy, and the hay on the stone bed was barely there. It's soft.

...just a little too quiet.

In fact, when she came to the prison, Chen Xiaojiao regretted it a little, not because of anything else... It's just that the prison is very quiet, and it can easily remind him of the days when someone was by his side.

But the clay figurine still has three parts earthy nature, not to mention that he is Chen Xiaohou who has been pampered by the Han Palace for so many years-if there are outlying outlying people who want to use force to suppress him, if he doesn't let that person pay some price, how can he? Aren't you sorry for his name Chen Ajiao and the identity of the second generation of x?

Chen Xiaojiao raised her eyes and turned to a spot on the stone wall, there were three faint scratches on it.

It was difficult to tell the time in the prison, and Chen Xiaojiao was embarrassed to ask those loyal but rather sad guards recently, so she had to roughly calculate the time according to the regularity of food delivery.

... That person has been away for more than ten days, and he still hasn't come back?

Chen Xiaojiao's expressionless face showed a rare sense of disappointment.

At this moment, there was a noise outside the prison, Chen Xiaojiao restrained her emotions, and looked up expressionlessly.

But one of the eight guards came outside the cell, "Young Lord, Nie Changkong and Qingyanghou brought a few family members, and the county magistrate Cao Xi is also here, do you want to see?"

Chen Xiaojiao was stunned: "You stopped them outside?"

The guard was justified, "They want to visit the young master, but they didn't inform in advance, so we naturally have to stop them and ask the young master for instructions before letting them in."

"...It turns out that you have been guarding outside the cell for the past few days." Chen Xiaojiao was stunned, and she couldn't help admiring from the bottom of her heart. As expected of the emperor's personal guard, this scene is really very human-as the current emperor's nephew , you can't lose in this respect, can you?

"Just say that I have already fallen asleep, and I will wait or come to follow them another day.... If they haven't left after half an hour, let people in."

The guard Xindao said that half an hour was too short, but he could only take the words and go out to repeat them - the half-hour period was naturally not mentioned.

Hearing the guard's message, Cao Xi's face turned slightly cold. After all, he didn't believe that the person locked inside had such a powerful background—if it was really the youngest son of the eldest princess, he would be a county official. How come you didn't even hear the slightest movement from above?

The guard naturally noticed Cao Xi's emotional change, couldn't help but sneered, and took a step forward, "If the county magistrate Cao doesn't want to wait, you can turn around and leave now, no one is forcing you—just let me remind the county magistrate, oh , and Du Houjun and Mrs. Nie said, our young——, our young master has a soft temper and doesn't care about it. face. If you wait until another one arrives..."

Satisfied with the unknowingly changed faces of a few people, the guard backed away with a smile, but the smile became more and more sinister under the dim light in the prison——

"Those few, it's better not to wait, go home and prepare for the funeral for your family."

When did Cao Xi hear such words, he was suddenly furious: "No matter how much background your master has, it is also his background—why are you arrogant? No matter what, I am the head of a county, and I can lock you up just based on your words and deeds." Go in, believe it or not?!"

"Magistrate Cao—" Seeing that the situation was out of control, the Marquis of Qingyang rushed forward to remind him.

Just at this time, the No. 8 guard walked in from the outside, and naturally heard what the county magistrate said. He winked at the other guards, and then smiled: "Magistrate Cao is really brave. Wait here, magistrate Cao will not lock us in?"

Cao Xi was so angry that he almost jumped - he had never seen such an arrogant guard - in his eyes, no matter how high the master's status was, these were just lackeys. He Cao Xi was also the head of a county, how could he be treated by these servants? Ride up to the neck?

Cao Xi was furious, and he didn't care about the Hou of Qingyang blocking him, pointing at the eight guards and said angrily——

"—Come on! Lock up these daring traitors for me!"

The eight guards were very obedient, obediently entered the cell without any resistance, and looked at Cao Xi and the others without exception, mocking or mocking, and the guard who spoke first seemed to be looking at a group of dying people——

"Magistrate Cao, don't cry and beg us to go out later."

"—You're dreaming——!" Cao Xi flicked his sleeves, and walked directly to the place where Chen Xiaojiao was locked up.

Hou Qingyang and Nie Changkong glanced at each other behind them, and they both saw the unconcealable worry in each other's eyes - the toughness of these guards almost made them completely sure of their guess - if the mysterious Mr. Chen hadn't been in the palace When they came out, how could even the guards have such a big show? ——But the matter has come to this point, but they have to follow Cao Xi to bite the bullet and go in to have a look.

At this time, Chen Xiaojiao, who was in a daze while spinning her fingers in the prison, was suddenly awakened by the sound of drinking outside, and a moment later, she saw a middle-aged man in official robes walking in with a face full of anger.

Chen Xiaojiao's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he already guessed what happened outside.

... Unfortunately, the biggest problem of labor and capital is to protect their weaknesses.

"—Marquis of Qingyang?"

Chen Xiaojiao's face was icy cold, and she looked straight at the past without avoiding it, her eyes were sharp.

"... Du is here."

Marquis Qingyang, who was a step late, hastily took a step forward, without saying a word, the smile on his face could even be seen to be somewhat humble and flattering.

Cao Xi naturally noticed this, and his heart shuddered slightly, but he still gritted his teeth and waved his hand at the prisoner behind him, "After checking by the officer, there was a misunderstanding in the matter that day, and I came to apologize to Mr. Chen in person. Mr. Chen can leave—"

The cell leader hurried forward to open the cell door.

Chen Xiaojiao's eyes grew colder, "Where's my guard?"

"..."

Cao Xi's complexion changed slightly, and then he said forcefully, "Mr. Chen's followers have spoken disrespectfully to this officer with the intention of hurting others, and they have been taken into custody by this officer."

Chen Xiaojiao's face suddenly became cold: "—Magistrate Cao is so powerful!——If I refuse to go out, what about Magistrate Cao?!"

Cao Xi said coldly: "This is a heavy prison, but Mr. Chen can't help but play tricks. Come here, please Mr. Chen to go out!"

Qingyanghou and Nie Changkong were terrified and just wanted to knock Cao Xi unconscious.But they couldn't stop those prison guards from going in.

Those soldiers and guards came to Chen Xiaojiao, glanced at each other, and one of them stretched out his hand to grab him: "Mr. Chen, please——"

"Touch me," Chen Xiaojiao raised her eyes, then she curled her lips and looked at the man with a smile, like an iceberg melting into water, leaving only a more piercing chill, "...try."

The guard raised his hand but froze there.

Cao Xi became more and more annoyed, and was about to speak, when suddenly there was a commotion outside, and a cell boss ran over panting——

"County, county magistrate—yes, someone broke in—"
