Rebirth of marriage

At midnight, the air pressure in the county government office was frighteningly low.

The county magistrate was so frightened that he broke out in sweat in the middle of winter.

He was picked up from the woman's bed by Mo Qi, who was beside King Xiao.

Asked if he knew the Liu family from the former Yongning Marquis Mansion, he was confused and thought for a long time but couldn't figure out who Liu was or what his involvement was with this person.

Mo Qi asked him to call all the officials from the county government and ask a girl who looked stupid to identify them one by one.

The girl shook her head like a rattle, and all the officials were sent away.

He was really disturbed by the tense atmosphere and hesitated to ask about the situation.

Mo Qicai told him that two people who claimed to be county government officials had taken away the prince's people.

The prince’s people?The magistrate was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

The county magistrate finally understood what the little girl was trying to identify. He felt like he was surviving a disaster. Fortunately, it was not his subordinates who did it.

Then he was angry, it was the damn person who dared to use his name to take Xiao Wang away.

But they checked for a long time and found almost no clue except that two sets of clothes belonging to the government officials had been stolen from the warehouse.

Seeing Mo Qileng's sullen face, the county magistrate was heartbroken.

Who would have thought that the prince, who had never been close to women, would secretly have a crush on a woman, and he would accidentally become involved with him.

Judging from how seriously Mo Qi took this matter, he was afraid that if something happened to him, he would not be able to keep his black hat.

When he was thinking about searching for people from house to house, King Xiao came over in person.

His face was always cold and hard, but his body was more cold and solemn than before, and there was an unnoticeable anxiety hidden between his eyebrows.

Gu Xiao patrolled the border checkpoints for several days. When he landed at the last secret checkpoint, he was found by the secret guards of the palace and informed him that Xie Jiu had been kidnapped.

His first reaction at that time was the nightmare that Xie Jiu had, so he hurriedly entered the secret passage and asked people to explain the matter clearly while walking.

After Xie Jiu was taken away by an official, Feng Zhilan found no one at the county government office or the Lu family.

Then she remembered that Xie Jiu had asked her to keep an eye on Mrs. Liu a few days ago. She realized that the matter might be related to Mrs. Liu, so she went to Yang's house, but it turned out that Mrs. Liu was not at home at all.

Xie Jiu was taken away, and once word spread, his reputation would be ruined.

Feng Zhilan then covered her face and quietly abducted Yang Laoer. She took off her cotton-padded clothes and buried her in the snow without even asking for the whereabouts of Mrs. Liu.

Yang Laoer had no idea where Mrs. Liu had gone. When she went out in the morning, she only said that she was looking for old acquaintances to see if she could help them get out of their current predicament.

Even her husband didn't tell her her whereabouts, and several people were even more certain that Xie Jiu's accident was related to the Liu family.

But the person who took Xie Jiu away was an official officer. How could Liu, a convict, instigate an official officer?

The old censor went to the Lu family to see if they could find any clues. Meishan was owned by the Lu family, and not many people knew that Xie Jiu was behind the scenes.

When he arrived at Lu's house, Lu Hongyuan had just returned from the county government office with a depressed look. When he learned that something happened to Xie Jiu, he went to the county government office to find the county magistrate, but he couldn't see the county magistrate after waiting around.

In his anxiety, the old censor thought of something, so he left Lu Lao'er in the county office to continue waiting for the county magistrate, while he returned to the Lu family.

Everyone in the Lu family said that they had never revealed this secret to anyone, and the servants in the family also interrogated them one by one, but found nothing.

The clues had to be obtained from the official officials, so the old censor notified Gu Xiao.

Xie Jiu was taken away after breakfast, nearly ten hours ago. In this weather, it would be dangerous to stay outside for even a moment longer.

Gu Xiao went directly to the Lu family through the secret passage. After finding clues, he rushed to the county government office.

"Magistrate Zhan, did you take a beautiful concubine recently?"

Gu Xiao's voice was cold, which made the county magistrate flinch for no reason. He stuttered slightly and said, "Yes, yes."

Thinking of something, he turned pale and asked, "But what did she do?"

Gu Xiao did not answer him, but raised his eyes to look at Mo Qi, "Go to the trial yourself and inform me of the result within a stick of incense."

Mo Qi took the order and went down together with the county magistrate in his hands.

Not long after, Li Li came in a hurry, "Master, we found out that the concubine of the county magistrate met the county governor's wife a few days ago. The county governor's wife had lived in the ancestral home outside the capital for several years."

Gu Xiao snorted lightly, clenching his fists under his sleeves tightly, his face became more cold and majestic, mixed with some anger, but his tone of voice was still calm, not sullen, he said, "Immediately go check all subordinates in the city The other courtyard in the name of the county governor and his wife."

Lu Laoer, who had been guarding the county government office, asked hesitantly, "Your Majesty, will he be taken out of the city? Or will it be the concubine who took him away?"

Seeing that he was sincerely concerned about Xie Jiu, Gu Xiao responded lightly, "No."

He didn't explain more, he didn't want to explain.

All he was thinking about was whether Xie Jiu was injured at this time, whether he was cold or not.

Soon, Mo Qi appeared with a faint smell of blood, "Master, this concubine is actually the maid of the Liu family. After the Liu family noticed that Marquis Yongning went to Yuyouguan to arrange people, she also asked her maid to come to Yuyou Pass in advance. Youguan.

A few days ago, Mrs. Liu asked her to deliver a letter to the county governor's wife, and also asked her to steal two sets of clothes belonging to the county officials. However, Mrs. Liu did not tell her the specific arrangements, and only asked her to pester the county magistrate to leave today. Go to the county government office. "

When Gu Xiao heard this, he stood up and strode out of the county office.

Magistrate Zhan, who followed him later, was startled by the cold wind as Gu Xiao passed by. His legs became weak and he sat down on the ground.

Didn't he just spend a whole day hanging out on the bed with that bitch? Who would have thought that there was such a conspiracy behind it.

Magistrate Zhan felt that he would probably never take a concubine again in his life.

Xie Jiu woke up from the cold.

There was darkness in front of her eyes. She moved her neck and felt the restraint on her head. She knew that someone had trapped her in a dark bag.

"Are you awake?" A female voice sounded.

It's the Liu family.

Xie Jiu pursed his lips and did not respond.

When Mrs. Liu saw that she didn't respond, she seemed very impatient and pulled the black bag off her head, "Xie Jiu, don't pretend to be dead."

His eyes suddenly received light. Xie Jiu closed his eyes subconsciously, and then looked at the source of the light. It was early in the day (around nine o'clock in the morning) when he was tied up. The light was not very bright now, it was probably early morning.

She had been in their hands for a day and a night.

"What do you want to do?" Xie Jiu asked calmly.

Ms. Liu sneered and sat back on her chair, looking down at her, "I want your life and the recipe for making coal cakes."

"I don't seem to have offended my second sister-in-law, and I don't know what coal cake recipe you are talking about." Xie Jiu said lightly.

"You ruined my plan and pushed us to a dead end, but you didn't offend me with your casual words?"

Mrs. Liu kicked her hard several times to relieve some of her anger. She pointed at the two men behind her, "They will remind you of the formula. Thanks to the wine, there are many ways for people to die. , Second sister-in-law kindly reminds you that you will suffer less if you tell me honestly."

Xie Jiu ignored the formula and asked, "Second sister-in-law said that I ruined your plan. Please ask second sister-in-law to clarify the confusion."

Mrs. Liu thought that Xie Jiu had fallen into her hands and she would be able to ask about the formula sooner or later, so she was not in a hurry and said with a cruel smile, "You are going to die anyway. Since you want to know so much, I will tell you.

The Yang family will not decline and will return to the capital soon. But with the boss at the front, it will be nothing for my second master to restore his title.

The second master endured the humiliation and carried out a brotherly harmony with him in order to destroy him when he was not prepared.

Now that he is on guard against the second brother, it is not easy for the second master to make a move without saying anything. Even if he succeeds, people will inevitably suspect that the second master harmed his eldest brother for the sake of the position of Lord Marquis.

Xie Jiu, if you had accepted the guests obediently and made our plan go smoothly, how could their brothers have ended up like this?This is where you offended me. "

Mrs. Liu had secretly hidden the gold leaves before, and she knew that the second wife was hiding a lot. Yang Laoer looked furious and wanted to listen to the boss's idea in everything. He didn't expect that he had already had such thoughts.

But, "Why is the second sister-in-law so sure that the Yang family can return to the capital?"

Ms. Liu sneered, "I've already let you know what I want you to know. Now it's time to talk about the formula."

She said to the two men behind her, "My brother and sister are beautiful in the country. You two are blessed, but you have to ask the questions as soon as possible."

The two of them were already impatient and began to untie their belts before Liu left the house and walked to thank the wine.
