When Ling Xiaodong and Zheng Si'er arrived at the mansion, he was still playing with the birds in the mansion, and the official business on the case was piled up like a mountain, but he didn't intend to deal with it.
When he saw the officers and soldiers leading a group of strangers into the government office, he immediately cursed.
But then Zheng Sirer took out the document written by Wang Ling and the prince himself.
After seeing this, Magistrate Liu plopped down and knelt down. He moved his fat body and kowtowed three times and nine times to Wang Ling. He was more sincere than paying homage to his ancestors.
Zheng Sirer glanced at the fat pig kneeling on the ground with disgust. That charming greasy smile was disgusting to look at. This was why she didn't like to reveal her identity in public.
If it weren't for the fact that she really needs to use the power of the government, she would not want to come to this place.
"The saint of the Luo Sect is now in Heshui City, and we have captured her maid."
Zheng Si'er spoke succinctly, and raised a slender finger regardless of County Magistrate Liu's horrified expression on the ground.
"There are only two things I need you to do. First, close the city, and no one can enter or leave!"
She slowly extended a second finger.
"Second, spread the news of the maid's arrest. It is best if the entire Heshui City knows about it, and behead her at Caishikou the next day."
"Beheading?"
The county magistrate Liu, who was kneeling on the ground, showed embarrassment.
"His Royal Highness, according to the laws of the Great Zhou, the death penalty must be sent to the capital, and the punishment can only be executed after approval..."
"There is no need to actually behead the person, just to lure the snake out of its hole and wait for the evil cult to rob the law field."
"But... Isn't this person a maid? That cult is so cruel, would it really be dangerous for a little servant?"
"Will do!"
Zheng Si'er believed in herself.
"I can see that this maid has an unusual relationship with her master, it doesn't matter if she doesn't come..."
"Because there are still their enemies in the city, the leader of the White Lotus Sect will definitely be willing to help."
Chapter 24
Although in Ling Xiaodong's eyes, Zheng Si'er looks a bit naive on weekdays, and she has a great admiration for herself and Yue Yingying, but when it comes to serious matters, she still shows the courage and intelligence that the prince of the North should have.
It's a pity that Ling Xiaodong was too busy to imprison Xiaoqing, so he couldn't see Zheng Sier's resolute appearance.
Hearing the words, County Magistrate Liu's eyes were wide open, and his face was full of horror.
"Master Bailian?!"
As the county magistrate of one party, he has naturally heard of this ruthless character. He is the devil who once slaughtered the city without sealing his sword for seven days!
Since the White Lotus Sect was founded after the White Sect Master betrayed the Luo Sect, it became even more unscrupulous. Once the city was breached, women would become slaves to prostitutes.
Fortunately, because this force was too cruel, it eventually provoked the anger of heaven and the people, and the hatred of both people and ghosts, so it received double-sided siege from Luojiao and the court. Now there are not many remnants of the party, and even the leader has fled everywhere.
Especially Luojiao's side offered an extremely high reward for this traitor.
It is said that as long as you hold the head to worship, in addition to offering gold and silver rewards, you can also become the right protector of Luojiao in one fell swoop.
County magistrate Liu never expected that this person would come to his own land, which is fine!
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and asked respectfully:
"I don't know how His Royal Highness knew the news?"
Zheng Si'er immediately sat down on the head of the government office, and raised her brows when she heard the words, and she was not angry and awed.
"Before I came, I heard rumors that the leader of the White Lotus had fled to Heshui. As the parent of one party, haven't you heard of it?"
County magistrate Liu was taken aback, and turned his head to stare at the county lieutenant who was kneeling behind him. The county lieutenant immediately cupped his hands in fright and said:
"Returning to Your Highness, there are such rumors, but...the news is just a rumor, but it can't be true!"
Zheng Si'er waved her hand, she understood now.
This county magistrate Liu is just a fool, and he doesn't know anything about the things in Heshui City.
"Since the Saintess of the Luo Sect came to Heshui City, there must be a reason for it. This Heshui is unknown, and it is not a treasured place for military strategists. It can only come here to hunt down the rebels."
"You don't have to worry about it so much, just do as I tell you."
The county magistrate and county lieutenant hurriedly nodded in agreement, lest they offend the prince.
At this time, in the prison of the county government.
The cell is set underground, dark and damp, filled with a lingering smell of decay
There are several ferocious iron instruments of torture hanging on the wall, and the blood on them has solidified into black. It is unknown how many people have been tortured inhumanely here.
Ling Xiaodong and Xiaoqing were looking at each other through the black iron fence.
Xiaoqing sat in a corner with her knees hugged, shrinking into a small ball.
At this moment, there were only the two of them in the prison, and the jailer had already been sent out by Ling Xiaodong.
There was only deathly silence in the black iron cage, occasionally there were a few rats creaking from that dark corner, and it took a long time before Ling Xiaodong opened his mouth slowly.
"Don't know what to call it?"
"Little Qing."
Xiaoqing's answer was clean and crisp. Although she was imprisoned in a cell, there was no fear on her face.
Ling Xiaodong lowered his head and pondered for a while, then said:
"Miss Mu... is she okay?"
"It's good, Daoist Don Laoling is concerned."
She hummed softly.
"Unexpectedly, after a few months of absence, Daoist Ling has already developed a relationship with the prince. See you today, we are already enemies."
She didn't ask Ling Xiaodong how his identity was known.
Since being caught, Xiaoqing has secretly used a secret method to inform the lady that as long as she waits quietly, Guardian Zuo will definitely come to save her.
"You and I are not enemies. I believe Miss Mu is a good person, and so are you."
Xiaoqing suddenly raised her head buried in her knees, and looked at Ling Xiaodong outside the cell in surprise.
"Daoist Ling, if you want to get something out of my mouth by using tricks, then don't wishful thinking, I won't say anything."
Ling Xiaodong spread his hands at her and shrugged helplessly.
"Believe it or not, it doesn't matter if you don't say anything."
He is actually very irritable now.
Why did Zheng Sier and Mu Qinghe meet today?
I truly believe that Mu Qinghe is not a villain, but Zheng Si'er has an irresolvable blood feud against Luojiao. As the saint of Luojiao, Mu Qinghe cannot escape the blame even if she did not personally participate.
"Don't worry, I won't let the people here embarrass you. When Miss Mu comes to save you, I just want to ask her some questions."
"Oh."
Xiaoqing didn't express any opinions, but just let out a soft oh, with a look of confidence, as if she had some great support.
Ling Xiaodong felt that the conversation could no longer continue, so he had no choice but to turn around and leave.
When he was leaving, he also specifically told the jailer guarding the door to treat him well, remember to bring a bedding and food in, and not to wrong this little maid.
He paced back and forth in the courtyard of the government office with his hands behind his back, frowning tightly.
"Hey."
After a long time, he could only sigh helplessly.
Now things are a little more troublesome.
Even if he has superb martial arts, and can almost spell out the magic talisman with one hand, this blood feud cannot be resolved by relying on these skills.
He shook his head helplessly, he could only ask Mu Qinghe when he saw Mu Qinghe, and now he was helpless.
"Brother Ling, why are you standing here?"
Zheng Si'er happened to come out of the lobby and saw Ling Xiaodong who was frowning.
"Have you gone to interrogate that cult member?"
"No."
Ling Xiaodong smiled bitterly, he didn't know how to speak.
"Brother Que... I actually... have some old friends with the saintess of Naluo Sect."
"Old friends? With that cult's saint?!"
The faint smile on Zheng Si'er's face instantly turned into confusion. She didn't know what Ling Xiaodong meant when she said these words to herself.
"Well, I didn't know her identity at the time, I just knew she was a good person."
Ling Xiaodong told Zheng Si'er how he met Mu Qinghe, found her serving porridge, and sent the little girl home.
After hearing this, Zheng Si'er remained silent, with her head hanging down, she couldn't see her expression.
After a long time, she raised her head to look at Ling Xiaodong, Ling Xiaodong was a little flustered with those clear eyes.
"Brother Ling told me this for what? To intercede for that person?"
"No...it's considered...I just want to say, no matter how Na Luojiao is, at least Miss Mu is not a villain..."
Zheng Si'er stood where she was, staring at Ling Xiaodong in front of her for a long time.
"Whether he is a good person or not, I naturally have a way to identify."
She took out a pure white pebble from her bosom and placed it on the palm of her hand.
"Right and wrong are black and white, and the cave stone has its own conclusion."
Another three chapters were blocked, and the editor said that the book will be taken off the shelves after another drive...
In the future, I won’t put the things that may rub the edge here, so there will be chapters skipped, don’t be surprised.
Chapter 25 Bad things
Zheng Si'er held a flawless stone in her white and tender palm, the shape didn't look very regular, just like ordinary pebbles by the river.
The only thing that is different is that this stone has a bit of white jade luster, but it doesn't look as crystal clear as real white jade.
"Cave stone?"
Ling Xiaodong looked at the stone in her palm for a long time, and said in doubt:
"What is this?"
"Come on, Brother Ling stretch out your hand."
Zheng Si'er did not answer Ling Xiaodong's question, but took his hand and put the white stone in his palm.
This hole stone has a girl's slightly warm body temperature in his hands. Before Ling Xiaodong can take a closer look, the white on the stone gradually turns into misty clouds, shrinking to a small spot in the center, and the whole stone turns into a glass-like void Color transparent.
"This is......"
Ling Xiaodong couldn't understand what this symbolized, while Zheng Si'er was still staring at the stone in his palm.
"Wait a minute, this cave stone can distinguish good from evil...there has been a change!"
Hearing this, Ling Xiaodong also turned his attention to the transparent stone in his palm.
I saw white smoke gradually drifting out from the center of the stone, and soon filled the interior of the cave stone, turning the color of the stone into milky white.
The color is not as pure white and spotless as in Zheng Sier's hands, but a little cloudy.
Ling Xiaodong was confused, but Zheng Si'er nodded in satisfaction, took the stone from Ling Xiaodong's palm, and put it back in his pocket.
"I knew Brother Ling must be a righteous person."
"What does it mean?"
Ling Xiaodong watched her flowing movements, still not knowing what the change in the stone symbolized just now.
