I'm afraid you'll be widowed

Seeing the county magistrate dressed in black gauze approaching, Pei Gong just drank tea leisurely as usual.

Only the leader of the remaining jailers rushed forward: "The county lord..."

Some of them were full of rhetoric, and they were about to add fuel and vinegar in front of Yu Zirong, the magistrate, so that Pei Gong could be a grandson honestly.

Unexpectedly, without saying a word, the county magistrate first arched his hands, bowed to Pei Gong respectfully, and then called out: "Pei Zongqi."

Several arrogant and domineering jailers were stunned and kept silent: "The county lord... this..."

Only then did Pei Gong lazily cast a glance away.

The magistrate of Xianghai County was fat and short, with a slightly dark build, a full face, and a big mouth under his squinted eyes.

Pei Gong curled his lips, thinking that he looked like a fat catfish.

"Don't dare. When Gui County arrested people yesterday, it was so swearing, it was so majestic." Pei Gong casually glanced at the catfish county magistrate in front of him who "treated each other with courtesy", and didn't give him a straight face, but just said slowly. Dust off the dust on the cuffs.

When Pei Gong first arrived in Xianghai, he had already been baptized by the prison and the prison full of gold and silver craftsmen.

Therefore, as early as last night when he was involuntarily thrown into jail by the yamen, he had already concluded that the Xianghai county yamen were pickets to help deceive the people and oppress the people.

Now even if the county magistrate is extremely humble in front of him, it is obvious that he will not change Pei Gong's opinion at all.

Pei Gong raised his teacup, but he still didn't give the county magistrate the slightest bit of an apology.

Seeing this, Yu Zirong, the county magistrate, couldn't help brushing off the cold sweat on his forehead, and repeatedly apologized to Pei Gong: "Pei Zongqi hopes to calm down."

The jailers on the other side had already been stared at by the county magistrate and fell to their knees.

Seeing the funny scene in front of him, Pei Gong didn't bother to entangle with these people anymore.

Fang Cenxi is inseparable from his imprisonment. He just wants to find the culprit named Fang first, and settle the score with him.

It was only then that Pei Gong was respectfully invited back to the county government hall as if "the ancestors were showing their spirits".

At that time Fang Cenxi was waiting in the lobby, still as gentle as before, but still a little tired.

Pei Gong curled his lips, and was about to say hello to his "old acquaintance", Fang Cenxi raised his head slightly first, and met Pei Gong's unfriendly gaze.

"Third Master." Fang Cenxi frowned, as if he was relieved, "It's good that Third Master is fine."

He immediately stood up without allowing Pei Gong to open his mouth, and looked at the fat-headed catfish county magistrate in Xianghai with a solemn face.

"Magistrate Yu, what's going on here?"

"Pei Zongqi is a majestic Emperor's Guard, a seventh-rank official, how could you put him in the county government jail for a whole night?"

The county magistrate had no choice but to bow and apologize like he did in prison: "Pei Zongqi and Fang Pingshi came all the way from the capital, but they were treated harshly in Xianghai. Showing your identity is what caused such a big misunderstanding."

"It's just that I heard that the two of you still have important business matters to attend to. It's really not good to waste time on this matter and delay the important tasks of the two nobles."

"I also ask you two to forgive your sins. The county government will properly arrange the food and accommodation for the next few days. When the important matter above the head is resolved, Xiaoxian will personally toast the two of you with a few glasses of water and wine to make amends."

Fang Cenxi's figure seemed thin, but his questions were exceptionally loud.

His brows were slightly frowned, and there was an undeniable majesty on his originally kind face.

"Pei Zongqi didn't make it clear, and your county didn't check his identity? Are you arresting people for no reason?"

"Last night there were many servants, and no one stopped the questioning."

"I'm afraid this is not the first time magistrate Yu has connived at his subordinates to act violently. Has it become a custom?"

The county magistrate Yu was dumbfounded by the question, and could only apologize repeatedly as if he had lost his waist.

Fang Cenxi deliberately lowered his voice, and even looked a little more serious than usual: "What happened last night, regardless of other things, just let Beizhen Fusi know about it, and misunderstood that your county is against Jinyiwei... ..."

The county magistrate Yu Zirong's pupils shrank, he hesitated and dared not speak any more.

Fang Cenxi stopped talking, changed the subject, and asked quickly: "When did the Xianghai County official bank go missing? How much was it? Why was grain recruited to serve as the official bank?"

Yu Zirong was startled: "How does Fang Pingshi know..."

Fang Cenxi chuckled: "Master Yu doesn't care how I know."

"You just need to understand that if you still talk about deceiving the court, I'm afraid it won't end so well today."

--------

As a sufferer who was caught in prison, Pei Gong originally had a belly full of cynicism to express.

But in the end, he could only watch Fang Cenxi beat the Xianghai county government.

When he left the county office, Pei Gong looked at Fang Cenxi who was beside him and couldn't help curling up his lips teasingly.

"Fang Cenxi, Fang commented."

"You are really a master of killing two birds with one stone."

Last night, I hid my name and luggage and went downstairs to find someone to inform.

Today, he can still hold the banner of Jinyiwei, handle the county government officials submissively, and by the way, be a good person who works hard and cares about Mr. Pei wholeheartedly.

Pei Gong couldn't help his eyes full of sarcasm, and applauded Fang Cenxi who was beside him slightly.

Fang Cenxi heard the words, but only looked sideways at Pei Gong, but did not avoid his eyes at all.

Those eyes did not hide or flicker, and there was no trace of guilt, let alone any other emotions.

There seemed to be a bottomless pool deep in the bottom of his brown eyes, which concealed all his emotions.

Fang Cenxi said slowly: "Why did Mr. Pei say that? The package containing the document was placed on the cabinet. As for the Yanling knife of the third master, it was indeed because it was too eye-catching that Fang kept it in front of the bed. Underfoot."

"Fang XX clearly told the third master about these things yesterday when he finished. He went downstairs to find the store after seeing you care about the bed sheets in the inn. How can he afford to hide the word now?"

Pei Gong sneered.

Why didn't he look at the cabinet and table yesterday?

It was clearly empty.

Fang Cenxi said calmly again: "Yesterday it was Fang who asked the third master to conceal his identity, but now the county government has found out the trace in a blink of an eye. The third master must also be able to see that although Xianghai is a small town, it is tricky."

"Once we are in the open, it's not easy to find other news in private. It will only be a lot of inconvenience to investigate the case. Why did Fang shoot himself in the foot and become that informer?"

Pei Gong was slightly startled, and was suddenly speechless by the question.

Fang Cenxi was silent, and then opened his thin lips: "Third Master, although you are of noble birth and Pei Lan is purple, you don't have to think everyone is the same."

"Not everyone thinks you are so important, and not everyone wants to be good in front of you, to please you."

Pei Gong was full of complaints and scolding, and Fang Cenxi's words immediately returned to her stomach.

Now he has become that tricky and arrogant person who drags down the errands.

There was a bit of surprise in his eyes, and he silently looked at the person in front of him.

Although Fang Cenxi looked weak at first glance, but after getting acquainted with him, he discovered that he was full of courage that could not be refuted.

Fang Cenxi said loudly again: "Although Fang is only a seven-rank judge, there are things that he doesn't bother to do."

"If Mr. Pei is determined to blame, then Fang has nothing to say."

Pei Gong was speechless immediately.

He couldn't help falling into deep self-doubt.

Could it be that I didn't notice Fang Cenxi's words yesterday, so that I got an extra prison sentence?

Pei Gong secretly discorded, not sure what to do for a while.

The two of them walked out of the county government office and onto the street in such an awkward manner.

The cold wind in the early morning rolls up the alley, and even in the distance of the county town, it also rolls up the smoke.

Fang Cenxi was good-looking but also thin, after only half a quarter of an hour of being outside, the color on his face was already a little less.

Pei Gong snorted lightly, taking the opportunity to remove the cloak with fox fur from himself.

The cloak was expensive, it was a gray fox fur hunted by his second brother Pei Ying from the Xuan Mansion, it was light and soft but very warm.

Unexpectedly, such a momentary movement made Pei Gong suddenly startled again.

He glanced back from the corner of his eye, and saw a sneaky "tail" behind the two of them, coming out of the county government office and following them all the way.

Pei Gong threw the cloak casually on Fang Cenxi's shoulder, without looking at anyone, he just turned his eyes to himself and said, "It may be because of my blurred vision yesterday, let me make it up to you."

Upon hearing the movement, Fang Cenxi slowly raised his eyes to look at Pei Gong again.

Seeing this, Pei Gong lowered his voice and said, "Don't move around, someone is following us."

Fang Cenxi's expression was light: "Fang knows."

I thought I could raise my eyebrows and exhale in front of Fang Cenxi, but who knew that the moment he opened his mouth, he would fail. The corner of Pei Gong's eyes twitched: "I just found out, when did you notice?"

"I didn't notice."

"Then how do you know?"

"There is something strange in the county government, and we revealed our identities again, but we are only inferring based on common sense."

……

Pei Gong has seen Fang Cenxi's level of common sense deduction.

The Canadian in front of Fang Cenxi ended in failure again, Pei Gong could only shrug his shoulders despondently, without saying a word.

The confidence that he wanted to take advantage of in front of Fang Cenxi was also dissipated.

Fang Cenxi didn't give up Pei Gong's cloak either.

"Thank you, but it's disrespectful."

"When I entered Dali Temple, I only thought that I would stay in the yamen to work, and the wind and rain would not blow. I never thought that such a situation would exist. Now I am really envious of people who are healthy and healthy."

As soon as these words came out, it was hard to get the cloak back.

Pei Gong stammered "Yes", and realized after a while that he seemed to have lost his wife and lost his army.

The Pei family is a military general, Pei Gong himself didn't figure it out, maybe those who practice martial arts have a strong temper, even his father and his two elder brothers have a violent temper.

If there is disagreement at all, then it must be the ruler, the whip, and the "little bastard" serving.

But most of the Pei family is straightforward.

Only now did he realize that the Soft Knife turned out to be very powerful.

Pei Gong twitched his lips, unavoidably feeling a little annoyed secretly.

He had no choice but to save his dignity as the "third master" on his own: "Since we have arrived in Xianghai, we still have to focus on investigating the case."

The people of Xianghai are in deep misery, how many innocent people were in prison yesterday.

If the local officials really lied to Yurou Township, then any individual would not allow the local officials to continue to behave like this.

Fang Cenxi nodded: "I just arrived yesterday, and the third master doesn't work often, so it's more or less the responsibility of Fang for not taking good care of me."

"I don't want the third master to have a compassionate heart. I am grateful to the third master. Fang will definitely do his best."

Pei Gong couldn't help but see the missing official letter again in Pei Gong's mind.

He couldn't help but curled his lips into a sneer, and held back another trick in his heart: "Do you really try your best?"

"Nature walks the talk."

"Okay." Pei Gong looked sideways at the restaurant on the side of the road, "Since Mr. Xiao Fang said so, and there are people following us, it is inconvenient to check important matters."

"Why don't we ask Mr. Xiao Fang to be the host, to clean up Pei Gong's release from prison, how about we get even?"
