I'm afraid you'll be widowed

The county government keeps a close eye on people.

So for a few days, the two of them worked separately.Pei Gong sent people around, Fang Cenxi checked and verified, but everyone got what they wanted.

It wasn't until the fifth morning when Fang Cenxi arrived in Xianghai, Fang Cenxi went out as usual, Pei Gong checked the surroundings, and then squeezed his neck and prepared to go back to the room for a sleep, when he found a stiff corpse in front of the door.

The dead body was still wearing the clothes of the yamen servant, and it looked a little familiar.

It seems to be the jailer who was beaten up by Pei Gongyitong the day before yesterday, and now his face still bears the marks of the previous beating.

The spectators circled around, and when they saw Pei Gong coming back, they backed away consciously, as if they were afraid of getting unlucky, they voluntarily made a way out.

The other servants of the county government have already arrived, and it seems that they are going to do routine work again and are ready to arrest people.

It's just that Pei Gong didn't have time to react, and there was another shout from the crowd: "Don't be rude."

The yamen servants stopped one after another, and then Yu Zirong, the county magistrate with a fat head like a catfish, suddenly appeared from the crowd.

Pei Gong's eyes flicked around the scene in front of him, and he understood immediately.

When he first arrived in Xianghai, he was imprisoned, Pei Gong was troublesome, and had deliberately lived in the house all day long, but in the end, troubles always followed him to find happiness.

With the current posture, he might have to go out and enter the palace twice, he already had enough in his heart.

Seeing this, Yu Zirong hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed: "Pei Zongqi was shocked, and I will order the guards to clean it up immediately."

"I also ask Mr. Pei to go back to the county government with us first, so we can take a step to talk."

Seeing that the matter has come to this point, and Yu Zirong's words are well-founded, Pei Gong naturally couldn't refuse, so he could only follow them back to the Xianghai county government.

Unlike the last time he was imprisoned, Pei Gong was treated as a guest of honor this time.

The armchairs in the main room were entertained with good tea and fruit. Suddenly, he was not a suspect brought in for interrogation, but a distinguished guest who had been invited.

Seeing that Pei Gong was seated, Yu Zirong closed the door, sighed and cupped his hands again and again: "I have wronged the third master."

Pei Gong glanced at it incredulously, but didn't say much.

Yu Zirong said again: "Third Master knows it, everyone in this place can see it, these two days only Third Master has a knife in his hand."

"What's more, the jailer was very rude when he arrested you. This is something that many people have seen."

"No matter how you look at it, you are..."

Pei Gong said coldly: "If you have evidence, arrest it, if you don't have evidence, go find it. What are you talking about with me here?"

"Aren't you watching people all day long, don't you know where I am?"

Yu Zirong was silent: "The third master misunderstood, Xiaoxian is afraid that you will be in danger again, so he has someone to protect you."

"You have only been in Xianghai for a few days? Why are you being imprisoned again and again? This must be deliberately framed."

Pei Gong sat on the armchair boredly, holding the tea boat and playing with the cup lid on it.

The lid covered the rim of the cup and almost turned flowers, Pei Gong obviously didn't listen to him very carefully.

The county magistrate at the side quickly stepped forward, saying that the tea was cold, and changed it for Pei Gong.

Taking advantage of the gap between Pei Gongteng's hands, Yu Zirong said again: "Third Master, have you ever thought about it? Why did the yamen servants in the small county mistakenly take you away two days ago?"

"It is precisely because someone framed the informant and said it decently that the yamen servants were deceived. Otherwise, if we have ten guts, we will not dare to touch you."

"Although something happened in Liang Guogong's mansion, the Duke of Liang is still a title conferred by the late emperor. How can you suffer this kind of embarrassment in Xianghai?"

Hearing these alarmist words, Pei Gong shifted his scrutinizing eyes to Yu Zirong's face, and couldn't help but sneered: "What did you call such a thing?"

"What?" Yu Zirong was taken aback, "You still don't know, Mr. Pei?"

He waved his hand and said no more: "Xiaoxian is presumptuous, Xiaoxian is really presumptuous."

"Xiaoxian has no other intentions. I only worry that you will get into trouble again and again. Xiaoxian will also be dragged to meet you again and again. Who will benefit from this in the end?"

"If Xiaoxian's guess is right, then Fang Cenxi will tell you that Xiaoxian's excessive taxation, even the official bank case, is to blame for it? This is really a big injustice."

The county magistrate is also helping Pei Gong.

"You must not be deceived by appearances, I'm afraid someone has ulterior motives and uses you as a raft for local officials like us, so as to invite their own achievements."

"Otherwise, why did you get arrested and he wasn't there? Did you really see the clues he said he saw?"

"People's hearts are separated from each other. The county lord and you are the best people. This is played by the person who was killed by a thousand swords."

The meaning behind the words has long been very obvious, and the words inside and outside the words directly pointed at Fang Cenxi's double-faced and three-handed sword.

According to these words, it is not difficult to think about it at all.

Fang Cenxi took advantage of recruiting people from the county government, while giving the county government a reputation, while being a good person in front of Pei Gong, and taking advantage of Pei Gong's gap in prison, to frame the case of Xianghai's loss of official money.

"There was a lesson learned before, and today I think about it again." Yu Zirong said earnestly, "The third master can't always be so passive."

Pei Gong lowered his brows, and suddenly raised his eyes to look at the county magistrate of Xianghai.

The fat-headed catfish-like Yu Zirong sensed his gaze, and hurriedly said "sincerely": "I also ask Mr. Pei to write a letter and return to Beijing, which shows that this Fang Cen Xi has sinister intentions. Please ask Jin Yiwei or Dali Temple to come forward and punish him for his crimes." , at least someone should be replaced."

"What if I don't write it?" Pei Gong glanced at Yu Zirong boredly.

The county magistrate was full of worry: "That will not be easy to deal with. I am afraid that the third master will be imprisoned again. This time, the witnesses and material evidence are all against the third master. The county magistrate has been tossed and tired. I helped you lightly and skillfully."

The pine ink on the case table was polished evenly in the Duan inkstone, and the Zihao brush was neatly placed aside.

The county magistrate hastily stepped forward to dip two pens of ink, and graciously handed the pen into Pei Gong's hand: "Third Lord, there is no need to hesitate any longer."

"You have been at odds with this Fang Juan for a long time, and you will be stronger if you act first now. If not, who knows how far you will be entrapped in the future?"

"Every word the county lord said to you is from the bottom of his heart. You should be the one who can tell who is good for you."

Hearing this, Pei Gong frowned slightly.

Seeing this, Yu Zirong looked at the county magistrate in a blink of an eye, and raised the corners of his mouth calmly.

The idiot they wanted to catch obviously couldn't help scaring him, and he was about to take the bait.

Yu Zirong said with a smile: "What did I say, the third master is an enlightened person, he must understand the truth and won't mess around."

The county magistrate also put on a courteous smile at Yu Zirong: "The county magistrate said so."

Pei Gong listened to the chorus, and played with the brush casually and twirled his fingertips twice: "In this case, Gui County is really troubled." In a blink of an eye, he directly drew a cross on the forehead of the county magistrate.

Thick ink dripped down, and then dripped on the official uniform, and even stained the county magistrate's stern-eyed face with ink stains.

Pei Gong stared at his stupidity, and couldn't help laughing out loud: "A few alarmist words, think I'm a fool?"

"If you have evidence of my murder, at worst, come and arrest me."

"Does Yu Xianzun really think that our Pei family is scared?" Whoever makes the people displaced, who takes money to help orphans in the city, everyone should be in the eyes, "Who do I want to believe, Believe it or not, it's your turn to teach me?"

Pei Gong smiled coldly.

"Even if Fang Cenxi is really not a good thing..."

"How can you beat him?"

--------

Pei Gong tossed about in the county office for more than half an hour, but finally retreated unscathed.

When he returned to the inn, the eyes of the crowd still did not move away from him.

Pei Gong went back to the house in a mess, but unexpectedly Fang Cenxi came back earlier than usual.

"The third master is back?" Fang Cenxi stretched out his hand to put away the draft on the table, and he didn't know if he was looking at it intentionally, "I heard that there was another murder case in this inn this afternoon?"

Seeing his slow-moving behavior like guarding against a thief, Pei Gong couldn't help but sneer.

The fire burned to the eyebrows.

Fang Cenxi still looked like a normal person.

Pei Gong couldn't help curling his lips: "What are you looking for?"

Fang Cenxi smiled lightly: "It's nothing, they are all trivial things, it's better for the third master to know less."

After hearing this, Pei Gong finally couldn't hold back his teasing laughter: "You have poked Yu Zirong's lung tube."

"That old treacherous and cunning man played all kinds of tricks, wearing your little shoes in front of me, and you still say it's not worth mentioning?"

The more he talked, the angrier he got, he couldn't help asking: "Fang Cenxi, are you so hard to tell? Who are you with?"

Fang Cenxi saw that Pei Gong was furious, but he could only act as if the matter had nothing to do with him, and smiled just right: "Mr. Fang is soft-spoken, and I didn't ask the third master to believe it."

"Whatever happens in Xianghai, Fang will naturally bear it, and dare not bother the third master."

Seeing Fang Cenxi's smile, he immediately felt very angry.

"Fang Cenxi, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean not daring to bother me? You think I'm with Yu Zirong?"

Fang Cenxi was not surprised or afraid, and said calmly: "The third master is naturally the third master, Fang is not worthy of treating you as something, just telling the truth."

Pei Gong couldn't help but sneered, he understood completely now.It turned out that he was the only one who was sentimental, thinking that they were fighting against each other.

Thanks to him scratching his head and dealing with Yu Zirong all afternoon, as far as Fang Cenxi was concerned, he was an outsider from beginning to end, an outsider who couldn't even look at the case.

Therefore, Fang Cenxi didn't care whether the two of them were on the same rope or not.

Fang Cenxi obviously didn't want to get entangled, so he just bowed to himself, got up and wanted to leave: "Third Master, it's better to be alone for a while, and Fang won't disturb you."

Pei Gong said coldly: "Stop, tell me clearly."

"Did you join forces with the bad guys from the county government and suspect me instead?"

Fang Cenxi seemed to have never heard of it, and just walked away.

Pei Gong was out of breath, and immediately stretched out his hand to block his way.

Unexpectedly, it was too late, but it was so soon, he accidentally pushed the handle of the knife on Fang Cenxi's shoulder.

Fang Cenxi was pushed off balance, and immediately sat back on the chair.

His gentle and jade-like face suddenly froze for a moment, and he immediately looked at the culprit in front of him.

His gaze was as sharp as a knife, full of warning.

"I..." Pei Gonghu was stunned for a moment, but he quickly pressed his lips together and remained silent.

He was definitely not the one who was wrong this time, no matter what, he must not confess and apologize first.

Fang Cenxi's eyes calmed down, he closed his eyes and let out a chuckle, his whole body suddenly had an aura of not getting close to others.

His voice was subdued: "Pei Gong, do you have any brains?"

"Are you unable to speak except when you move your hands?"

Pei Gong didn't mean it at first, his mind was filled with surprise and remorse for a moment.

But the handle of the knife didn't have much strength, but Fang Cenxi turned his face immediately, as if through some deep hatred, he could change into a questioning tone.

Pei Gong was inevitably startled.

He quickly came back to his senses, simply laughed angrily and chuckled softly: "How do I know that you are so useless, you will fall if you push it?"

"It's because I was blind before."

"Why do you still dare to judge the situation? It's not like I can't investigate Pei Gong's case."

The author has something to say:

Pei Gou, who scored twice but didn't know it: Who knew that you would fall if you pushed it?
