Chapter 272
The cicadas on the trees in the courtyard of the Sheriff's Mansion sang unscrupulously, waking up Bao Langjun and Luo Jiaojiao who had slept until noon.

"Why so noisy?" Luo Jiaojiao rubbed her eyes and sat up.

"I'm afraid it's already noon!" Bo Langjun stood up and covered the bright light entering the room with his hands.

"Have we slept for so long?" Luo Jiaojiao got off the ground, stretched her sore shoulders, walked to the door and pushed it open.

The sun was shining brightly in the sky, making Luo Jiaojiao quickly narrow her eyes.

Seeing that Luo Jiaojiao and Luo Jiaojiao had woken up, the guard by the door hurriedly went to the kitchen to fetch the food box.

Bo Langjun sat on the couch and watched Luo Jiaojiao arrange the food in the food box but didn't go there.

"What's wrong?" Luo Jiaojiao walked up to Bo Langjun and looked at him and asked.

"My whole body is sore! Give me a pinch!" Bo Langjun gave Luo Jiaojiao a wry smile.

Luo Jiaojiao had no choice but to climb up on the couch again, and turned to Bo Langjun's back to handle him.

"After all, you are also a martial artist, why don't you take the trouble?" Luo Jiaojiao was busy with her hands, and her mouth was not idle.

"That's different!" Bo Langjun raised his fist and beat his legs.

"Don't move! Relax!" Luo Jiaojiao began to beat Bo Langjun.

"Be gentle, it hurts!" Bo Langjun grabbed Luo Jiaojiao's white and tender fist.

"Oh!" Luo Jiaojiao withdrew her arm and relaxed her movements.

"Okay! Let's eat!" Bo Langjun pulled Luo Jiaojiao to the dining table and began to eat.

In the afternoon, Bo Langjun and Luo Jiaojiao sat on the couch and played a game of guessing and fighting.From time to time, the two of them laughed happily in the room.

As the saying goes, extreme joy begets sorrow.

It was getting late, Bo Langjun and Luo Jiaojiao saw that Jiang Yu hadn't come back yet, so they got dressed and prepared to go look for him together.

At this time, Governor Qu led the county magistrate and others into their guest room.

"Take it!" Sheriff Qu looked at Bo Langjun for a while, and then shouted.

"What's the situation?" Luo Jiaojiao was a little confused.But when she saw that the guards were going to arrest them, she stood up and stood in front of Bo Langjun.

"Why?" Mr. Bo Lang pulled Luo Jiaojiao away and looked straight into Sheriff Qu's eyes.

"On the day when the incident happened, you happened to appear in the local area. This is one; you are a merchant, why do you know everything about officialdom? This is the second; third, why can you collect ten boxes of coins in one day? ? This is not a small sum! Even the rich locals would not be able to take out so many coins unprepared, and they are all half taels of the full scale!" Governor Qu looked at Bo Langjun with burning eyes See.

"That's what he said!" Bo Langjun pointed to the county magistrate and questioned the county magistrate Qu.

"Yes!" Wu Xiancheng looked at Bo Langjun calmly.

"What did you do to my bodyguard?" Bo Langjun angrily walked across to Wu Xiancheng.

"He escaped! But you are not so lucky!" Wu Xiancheng raised his arm and circled it, and Mr. Bo Lang was under his control.

Naturally, Mr. Bo Lang cannot reveal his identity, so Wu Xiancheng can easily succeed.Luo Jiaojiao was wary of throwing a mouse, so she could only obediently catch her with nothing.

"Left guard! Take the two of you to the dungeon in the mansion!" Magistrate Qu ordered the guards beside him.

"It's better to be imprisoned in the county government prison!" Wu Xiancheng cupped his hands and said.

"The county magistrates are being detained in my dungeon! The yamen has no leader, how will the case be concluded? Take them away!" Magistrate Qu seemed a little impatient.

"We were wronged!" Bo Langjun said struggling.

"The facts are there, so you won't be allowed to quibble!" Magistrate Qu stopped in his tracks.

"The villain is leaving!" Wu Xiancheng bowed and saluted.

"You have contributed a lot to cracking this case this time! When the county magistrate finishes this case, I will definitely recommend you to the imperial court!"

"Thank you, Sheriff!" Wu Xiancheng showed surprise on his face.

"Go! Do your job well!" After the sheriff finished speaking, he turned and went to his study.

Wuxian Cheng walked briskly and left the county guard's mansion with his two yamen servants.

Magistrate Qu came to the dungeon in the mansion and walked into his friend's cell.

"Why did you lock them in?" County magistrate Zheng asked with red eyes.

"You just need to take care of yourself, you don't need to think about other things!" Magistrate Qu patted his friend on the shoulder, sighed and left.

"Hey! Don't go! Let us out! We were wronged!" Luo Jiaojiao shouted while grabbing the iron fence.

"Don't bother!" Bo Langjun sat on the straw mat and sighed.

"But we are really wronged! You should think of a way!" Luo Jiaojiao ran to Bo Langjun's side, grabbing his arm and dangling.

"He caught us in, but he still didn't let the county magistrate Zheng go. It's going to be harder for us to get out!" Bo Langjun sighed.

"The county guard is not a fool! There must be some misunderstanding!" Zheng County magistrate is still defending his friend at this time.

"Misunderstanding? I'm afraid he almost said that I colluded with you!" Bo Langjun wanted to lie down, but he frowned and looked at the hay mat and pursed his lips.

"But we didn't know him before!" Luo Jiaojiao felt wronged and wanted to cry.

"There is always a way!" Bo Langjun put his arm around Luo Jiaojiao's shoulder to comfort her.

"En! Jiang Yu won't leave us alone!" Luo Jiaojiao leaned her head on Bo Langjun's shoulder and said.

"Jiang Yu did find out about the secret talks between Wuxian Cheng and the owner of the grain store, that's why he was hunted down by them!" Bo Langjun analyzed it.

Luo Jiaojiao said that Wu Xian Cheng was afraid that Jiang Yu would go back and tell Bo Langjun and Qu County Sheriff about this matter, so he brought a villain to file a complaint first, accusing them of stealing official money.

After Jiang Yu escaped, he already thought that Wu County Prime Minister would definitely attack Mr. Bo Lang.But what he didn't expect was that Governor Qu actually locked Bo Langjun and Luo Jiaojiao into the dungeon in his mansion.

At night, Jiang Yu, who had been hiding in a tree, sneaked into Governor Qu's house.

Magistrate Qu is carefully checking the details of the whole case by candlelight.

Jiang Yu hid behind the curtain behind the sheriff.He was just about to tell Magistrate Qu that he was chased and killed after seeing Wu Xiancheng having a secret conversation with the owner of the grain shop, when he saw a black-clothed assassin knock down the guards outside the door and break into the house.

A sharp sword stabbed straight at Governor Qu.Magistrate Qu seemed stunned, sitting upright motionless.

Jiang Yu was about to show up to rescue him when he suddenly saw the bluestone at the foot of the assassin.

After moving a bit, a copper shroud fell to the ground instantly, trapping the person in it.

so close!Jiang Yu secretly rejoiced in her heart that she did not act recklessly.

"Who sent you to assassinate me?" Magistrate Qu walked into the cage, but never thought that the assassin's sword would come out from the gap.But as soon as his sword touched the wall of the cage, it was clamped.

"This is the copper shield of the mechanism! You should confess obediently, so as not to suffer from flesh and blood." Magistrate Qu walked to the cage and looked at the masked man in black inside.

The man in black in the cage avoided Magistrate Qu's gaze, as if he was afraid that he would recognize him.

"Are you from the yamen?" Governor Qu shouted in a low voice.

"How do you know?" the assassin blurted out as he touched the scarf on his face.

"Since it was an internal thief who stole the official money, of course it was from the yamen!" Governor Qu sighed.

"Since you know it was done by the internal thieves? Why did you arrest my master?!" Jiang Yu stepped out of the curtain and questioned Governor Qu.

"The origin of his coins is unknown, and it's not without suspicion! Unless you can find out the whereabouts of the lost official money, your master may not be able to get rid of it." Governor Qu looked at Jiang Yu calmly.

"To find out this case, I can't do it alone! Please let the county guard release my husband, and he will be able to find out where the official money went!" Jiang Yu knew that Mr. Bo was delicate, so how could he bear the pain of prison?

"What if you escape?" Sheriff Qu shook his head.

"My master's coins are in your hands, how could he escape? Besides, if someone assassinates you, it means that the thief is someone else!" Jiang Yu stared into the eyes of the sheriff.

"Come here! Bring the three people from the dungeon here!" Magistrate Qu shouted.

"Yes!" A guard came out of the side corridor and took the order.

Jiang Yu looked at the side corridors on both sides, only then did he realize that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him in the shadows!
