"What did you say?"

Shao Ting was astonished.

The visitor clasped his fists again and replied: "Sorry, Master Shao! In order to avoid suspicion, this case has been taken over by Zuo Sicheng."

Officials in Dali Temple from Shaoqing down are all left and right positions. Although Shao Ting is taking the position of Yousi Cheng, he has not gone to the capital to report on his duties, so he is not familiar with other colleagues.

Suddenly Zuo Sicheng appeared to take over the case, and he didn't know what to do next.If it was said that Gu Li's shop was smuggling items from the palace, he wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death.Not to mention the relationship between him and her.Judging from the clues he has followed for so long, there is no possibility of circulation to that small town.

Obviously, this was definitely framed by someone deliberately, and it was most likely aimed at himself.

Thinking of Gu Li suffering because of his wrongdoing, Shao Ting's heart ached like a knife.I haven't enjoyed any blessings, but have been hurt one after another.It's really bad luck to have a man like yourself.

"Master Shao, Master Shao, where are you going?"

The visitor eagerly asked to stop him, but Shao Ting was completely unmoved.He sneaked out from under his armpit nimbly, his figure paused, and he was already a few meters away.

"Since I have handed over the power to Xiumu, it's time to go back and spend time with my family!"

"Hey, Master Shao, you can't go."

"drive!"

The only answer to him was the sound of galloping horseshoes.The visitor stomped his feet angrily, and now he really had to use his brains to come up with a good excuse.Otherwise, I don't know how to face the boss's furious face.

Master Shao, please be blessed!
Gu Li didn't stop, smeared and hurried on the road, and finally arrived in Chengyang County in the middle of the night.

Afraid of disturbing Granny Shao and the others, they did not go back to the old house, but went to the new house next door to County Magistrate Feng.

But what she didn't expect was that the new house was brightly lit, obviously waiting for her specially.

Just a moment after knocking on the door, someone came to open the door, it was A Bing, "Madam, I knew you would definitely come today!"

Gu Li handed him the bag on his back, and ordered: "Take my horse to the backyard to replenish some fodder. If you don't stop running all the way, you are exhausted."

"Ma'am, County Magistrate Feng said that you should inform him as soon as you arrive, and we can discuss something urgent."

As soon as the words were finished, the heavy wooden door next door creaked and opened a crack, and then a timid head poked out.

Gu Li said angrily: "Magistrate Feng, who are you scaring in the middle of the night?"

County magistrate Feng hurried out of the door, closed the door, and tiptoely scolded: "You evil spirit, the little old man does not sleep, it is not to help you. You don't appreciate it, you are still here Laugh at the little old man."

Gu Li really gave him a blank look:
"Magistrate Feng, please remove that ridiculous title. What little old man, do you really want to rely on the old to sell the old? If you really feel that you are old, then I will have a good talk with Yun Niang, don't put Give my own happiness to a half-buried man."

"You, keep your voice down~"

When County Magistrate Feng heard her words, he was so anxious that he almost stepped forward to cover his mouth.But after thinking about it, the so-called men and women don't know each other, and besides, she is also the boss's woman, so she immediately took a few steps back and kept her distance.

"Ma'am, it's better for the two of you to go into the house to talk, magistrate Feng. It's more dewy, and it will inevitably be stained with moisture. Besides, why do you occupy the door to chat in the middle of the night!"

Ah Bing, who had already brought the horse over, kindly reminded him.

Only then did Gu Li regain his senses, and secretly reminded himself that the case was more important.Damn, there's plenty of time later.So she smiled and stretched out her hand as a gesture of invitation: "Then please, County Magistrate Feng!"

County Magistrate Feng didn't refuse either, with his left hand behind his back and his right hand stroking his few beards, he stepped into the gate of Gu Li's house first.

Seeing the two of them coming in, Aunt Liu obviously wanted to talk about something, so she turned her head and went to make tea.This lady must be starving from the journey, so she still needs to prepare some food.

"Magistrate Feng, what's going on with our lord?"

It was actually Shao Ting who Gu Li asked first.Although County Magistrate Feng was a little awkward, he was very envious of her feelings, so he didn't make fun of her, and told her everything he knew.

"But isn't Dali Temple an institution under the personal jurisdiction of King Chun? When will another Zuo Si Cheng appear to try the case?"

"Ms. Shao doesn't know something. Although it is under the jurisdiction of the prince, there are many officials, large and small. It is impossible for everyone to be appointed by the prince or one of his own people. It is normal to have one or two outsiders among them. This is Zuo Sicheng. It's one of them. It didn't matter if Mr. Shao didn't return to the capital to report on his duties. But since he personally intervened, he must have been assigned by the person behind the scenes."

Originally, the left and right temple ministers had their own cases and did not interfere with each other.But this time he brought his family members to avoid suspicion, so he must have been prepared.Shao Ting's situation is very bad!
"Madam Shao, with all due respect, this test is not easy!"

Magistrate Feng frowned, looking very distressed.

"Soldiers come to block us, water comes to cover us! Shao Ting and I are not afraid of the slanting shadows, and we are not afraid of them coming to make trouble. If there is anything difficult, don't say those frustrating words!"

The people around me were a little terrified, but they didn't panic when they saw Gu Li, the righteous master.For a moment, County Magistrate Feng admired the courage of the woman in front of him.

"By the way, County Magistrate Feng, I heard that the two people captured by the town are locked in the county government prison?"

Gu Li hurriedly asked.

"You mean the shopkeeper and the waiter in Sanbaofang, right? It's fine for now, let my people watch over it!"

Speaking of this, County Magistrate Feng lowered his voice: "But when the Prime Minister Zuo Si arrives, it's hard to say! You also know that there are many tricks in this prison! I looked at the shopkeeper like a white-faced scholar, and the other One is also a thin man, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold back a few times!"

Gu Li's eyes darkened, and he clenched his fists: "If he dares to be tortured, I will not spare him!"

County magistrate Feng quickly waved his hand and said: "Mrs. Shao, don't mess around! This Zuosi Cheng must have come prepared, don't accidentally get yourself in. If you get in, your family will Lord Shao, your neighbor, me, and His Royal Highness Chun will be in trouble."

Move the whole body with one hair!Of course Gu Li understood this truth.It's just that if someone really framed her, then she can't just wait like this!
Now, the reason why no one came to catch her.It's just because the case hasn't been heard yet, and she, the boss behind the scene, hasn't been involved yet.If it was someone else, they would have fled far away if they were scared out of courage.But she has a clear conscience and will never be a coward.

"No matter what, I must clearly know the ins and outs of the matter. Magistrate Feng, please make arrangements for me. I want to see them both."

Just because Chen Mei's dictation was not clear, Gu Lisi had to meet Lu Wenze and the others after deliberation.

"Okay, don't worry about this! There are only two or three of them on the other side, and they are all going to the inn to rest now. The guards are my people. Before they get up at dawn, we can see them!"

When Aunt Liu brought out the hot noodles, there was no one in the hall, only the steaming tea left on the table.

A Bing happened to bolt the door and came in, and took the bowl over immediately after seeing it: "Aunt Liu, I should eat two of these noodles! I'm afraid Madam will come back in a while."

It's a waste if you don't eat it, so Aunt Liu sat down, but just after taking two sips, she heard A Bing slap his head and jumped up: "Oops, why did I forget about this! Aunt Liu, you Eat by yourself! Remember to lock the door later, I have something to go out!"

"Hey, I haven't finished eating this noodle yet!"

Aunt Liu yelled in distress, but she had already run away and disappeared.
