C114

I remember that before, when we were investigating his neighbor, someone said that her family claimed that she was sick five years ago, and that she had been sick for almost a year. After that incident, she recovered, and there was this child in her family.

"Today, I observed that the child looks very much like her!"

"So you're saying that after the accident with the guards, she had a heart of her own?" As Cheng Ziheng spoke, he shook his head, "Perhaps because she had already been involved with an outsider, she set up a trap to kill the guards. Afraid that she would lose to the common people, she and her lover secretly met in secret, and even had children …"

"It's very likely to be so!" Liru nodded.

"If the guard Chen Nian died in love, then what about his younger cousin?"

"Er Wa's case is too long ago, the evidence has already been completely destroyed. There is still some time before the investigation begins. As for the butler, we can conclude that he was killed after discovering some unspeakable secret. Everything points to two places. First, the strange people in the mountain forest, and secondly, all of the people and matters are more or less related to the Prefect! "

"But if it's the Lord Prefect, then why isn't he letting go of his own cousin? It is reasonable to say that the guards and the butler were the closest people to him. For what reason did he have to kill everyone and then blame the people in the mountain forest? "

"This subordinate will immediately send people to investigate in detail!" When Cheng Ziheng had finished listening, he made a prompt decision.

"The main thing is to investigate in two directions. First, is it the same as before? Who was the first one to find the body?" Second, who was the child's biological father, the wife of the guard, and who was the closest? Thirdly, the Prefect's whereabouts in the last ten years and the things that he has done! "

"Yes sir!" The two of them accepted the order and left. They had arrived at the entrance of the county magistrate court, and headed straight for the cell.

"From the very first time we met, I've felt that there was something wrong with this Prefect. But she only believes in evidence when she does things. Now, she's made a preliminary judgement, and only needs a final confirmation!"

In the gloomy dungeon, the Prefect was currently sitting cross-legged in his cell, gnawing on a chicken leg. This was his home, and in addition to the fact that he was only temporarily imprisoned and had not been convicted, no one in the prison dared to offend him. Thus, he could still say whatever he wanted.

"Looks like your life is going well. In that case, just don't go out and stay here for the rest of your life!" Liru sneered. No one in the cell knew Liru, so when she said that, the head of the prison had already walked over.

"Who are you? Is this a place where you can casually enter?" Liruo's clothes were very simple, and at first glance, she didn't seem to have anything of value. The head of the prison only thought that she came to visit them through the back door.

"It's best if you speak politely to the Prefect!" When the Prefect heard the voice, he thought it was familiar and he wanted to turn back, but the sound of the jailer's voice stopped him in his tracks. This prison was his home, and he had to get these dogs to teach him a lesson.

Liruo's face turned cold. She hated people pointing their fingers at her nose the most. She remembered that the person who did this to her had his arm taken off. Of course, that person was not a good person.

As for this person, not to mention a good person, he didn't seem like a good dog at all.

She quickly made her move and with a flip of her hand, removed the jailer's arm, kicking him with a kick that was neither light nor heavy.

Cough cough, of course, even if he didn't kick that place too hard, it would have taken half of his life. Furthermore, Li Ruo really didn't have mercy on him.

"You dare hit me. Someone, attack! Kill all the criminals that are trying to barge into this important cell! At that time, the head of the prison and the Lord Prefect will definitely receive heavy rewards. " The prison guard was kicked to the ground. He held his lower body in pain and rolled on the ground, not saying a word for a long time. At this moment, a young bailiff behind him pulled out his sword from his waist and shouted.

Upon hearing these words, the Prefect only glanced contemptuously at the head of the prison who had already rolled a little way in front of him. After that, he lowered his head and continued chewing on the chicken leg.

"Didn't your Prefect teach you that if you're a dog, you have to obediently lie down? If you're a tiger, then you have to be arrogant and proud. Can't you just be a good dog? " With Liruo's temper, she definitely wouldn't say such words.

"Who are you? How dare you be so rude!"

Li Ruo turned to the side and saw Xuanyuan Mo who was already striding over.

If he couldn't recognize Li Ruo's voice, then he definitely recognized Xuanyuan Mo?

The Prefect was so scared that he threw away the meat in his hand and staggered to his feet.

"Who am I? You can ask your Prefect!" Xuanyuan Mo sneered. There are still so many people left to take care of the mountain's construction work. If he is not familiar with this place and there are still some small roads, he would not be able to be at ease and come here to take a look! "

"General, please spare my life!" The Prefect, who had just been standing, knelt down once again. He had eaten too ferociously just now, and there were still many bits of meat and fat around his mouth that he hadn't had time to wipe off. He looked extremely disgusting.

As soon as the Prefect's words came out, the bailiffs in the cell all kneeled down as they begged for mercy.

"General, this little one was blind and could not recognize Mt. Tai. I have offended you …" Madam, this humble one deserves to die a thousand deaths! " The head of the prison didn't know Liru's identity and wasn't very familiar with Xuanyuan Mo, but he had the good fortune to meet her once in the great hall. Seeing how intimate he and Liru were, he directly said this.

"General, please keep this in mind. This official had his back to the door and did not notice that it was the general's wife who came. It was all the dog servants who did this. It's not related to this official!"

The magistrate pointed at the jailer. This kind of thing was bound to happen to a scapegoat, and what he had done all these years was obvious in this small town. Everyone loved and respected him, and he believed that the general would only hold him for a short while.

"General!" Hearing that the prefect had actually thrown him out, the head of the prison became anxious. "General, please make clear that it was the prefect who ordered me to do this, General!" After saying that, he kneeled on the ground and kowtowed.

"Why are you here?" She ignored those kneeling on the ground and only looked at Xuanyuan Mo.

Xuanyuan Mo was a very cultured person and her words were usually not harsh. Unless she was annoyed, she would say some vulgar words or argue with her. She had never experienced anything as sarcastic and pretentious as today.

Because no matter if it was the imperial government or the military, as long as he did not cross Xuanyuan Mo's bottom line, he had always treated him with respect.

"I missed you!" Xuanyuan Mo pulled Li Ruo along with a gentle gaze, as if he was a completely different person compared to the mocking expression from before.

Li Ruo smiled lightly, secretly blaming Xuanyuan Mo for growing more and more thick-skinned. The atmosphere was originally very harmonious, but there was someone who was reckless in interrupting this couple's rare warmth.

"General, this little one did not know that you were here today. I did not know the truth and thus allowed this subordinate to slander Madam. This little one already knows my wrongs, please forgive this little one ~" Xuanyuan Mo's expression turned cold. How could this person not know his place? Moreover, he hadn't said that he wouldn't forgive them, right?

"What, could it be that the Prefect knows that this general is coming and needs to personally go greet him?"

"That's only natural." The Prefect did not feel any danger at all. He thought there was a turning point, so he asked directly.

"Hmph, who gave you the guts?" Xuanyuan Mo snorted coldly. "Prefect, don't forget your current identity. You're no longer a Prefect, you're only a prisoner. Who gave you the privilege to welcome this general?"

Originally, he had not wanted to be so overbearing, but Xuanyuan Mo had suddenly discovered that in the face of this kind of fool who refused to repent and died, it was not bad to tease him at times.

"General!" The Prefect's eyes widened. Had he understood wrongly?

"And you!" Xuanyuan Mo swept his gaze across the head of the prison. "What did you call her just now?" Li Ruo heard his words and held her forehead helplessly. She already understood Xuanyuan Mo's intentions.

"Fu …" "Madam!" Unable to fathom Xuanyuan Mo's intentions, the head of the prison could only guess.

"Yes, I will call you that from now on." Indeed, it's good! " Xuanyuan Mo smiled and suddenly felt much happier. Of course, this was on the premise that the prison warden could still live to such a state.

Liruo smiled. Although Xuanyuan Mo's little scheme was indeed a little childish in her eyes, but he seemed to be making a ruckus while defending her. Since that was the case, she could just let him be.

"As you command!" The head of the prison suddenly let out a sigh of relief and laughed out a few front teeth.

"En!" Xuanyuan Mo nodded, and he seemed to be in a good mood. "However, you said earlier that it was the Prefect who ordered you to do so?" Xuanyuan Mo raised his eyebrows and spoke as though it was an accident.

"Yes General, although the Prefect is usually a modest person, in private, he has always made things difficult for us subordinates. Therefore, even though he is currently locked in his cell, we do not dare to neglect him. Furthermore, the Prefect also said that this is only a routine inspection and he is not really going to be locked up for the rest of our lives."

"You crafty dog slave, how dare you frame me like this. I am not afraid of the shadow slanting, who in this ten miles of land doesn't know my character? "General, do not listen to this lowly person's words. If you do not believe, you can go around and investigate. What this official has said is true, General!"

This little one did not lie, everyone here can testify, although the Prefect is good to the commoners, but in reality, he is always using the name of the court to rob the commoners of their fat, and then he gives the commoners some small profits. The commoners do not understand this, so they are all grateful to him, and in private, the Prefect does everything for us servants, and this little one has no other choice than to allow him to continue this action!

Xuanyuan Mo and Liruo sat on the interrogation chair by the side in tacit understanding. As they listened to the two of them talking about their misdeeds, they felt extremely satisfied. Look, they didn't even need to ask for an interrogation. It would save him a lot of trouble.
