old friends return

An hour later, the housekeeper who came over regularly every morning to take charge of their daily life was taken aback by the people sleeping unconscious at the door, and when he opened the door and came in, he found three people tied up beside Qiao Nan and Qiao An , almost blacked out and closed his eyes in fright.

Cheng Muzhi fell asleep for a while, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw a group of people kneeling down there, the supervisor and the county magistrate were the leaders, the magistrate was kneeling in the second row, and behind him were the awakened guards.

Liu Qingyan kept huddling under the quilt. He forgot to go back to his room. When he came back, he was so sleepy that Cheng Muzhi took him back to his room. I had no choice but to shrink under the blanket and pretend to be an ostrich.

This protruding figure should be regarded as a woman who slept with Cheng Muzhi all night...

Cheng Muzhi sat up halfway to block Liu Qingyan inside, and looked at the kneeling man with a dignified face with a half-smile, "What are you doing with such an expression? Those who don't know think I'm dead."

The faces of the people below were even uglier.

In the end, Qiao Nan, who had someone tied up on his head, burst into laughter, and said to Qiao An next to him, "Don't tell me, smoked onions are more like tears, especially like mourning."

The quilt next to Cheng Muzhi was arched, and Liu Qingyan wanted to laugh inside but couldn't make a sound, so he had to carefully hold his breath.

"This..." the supervisor faltered, "His Royal Highness has misunderstood the meaning of this official, and this official is here to plead guilty."

"Apology? What is the crime of the prison order? I eat and drink well in Cangzhou, as I wish." Cheng Muzhi said in a calm manner, as if he didn't care much about the people behind him.

The supervisor didn't quite understand what Cheng Muzhi meant, and he didn't dare to speculate casually, so he touched the county magistrate next to him, moving his mouth up and down, "Say it."

The county magistrate wiped the sweat from his brow, "Your Highness, it's the officials who didn't arrange well, which surprised Your Highness. These trash officials must deal with them properly."

"That's right, that's right," the county magistrate on the side echoed, "Your Majesty will send more people today to ensure His Highness's safety."

Cheng Muzhi waved his hands to stop their nonsense, "Compared to these, you might as well go and interrogate the latter ones, who sent them here."

"I hope to hear the answer I want." Cheng Muzhi's tone was a bit dignified, "If the person fails to pass the interrogation, or is not caught, I don't need to stay here because you are in prison. Should be good too."

"Yes, yes, the lower officials know, the lower officials know." The supervisor and county magistrate hastily agreed, wiped the sweat from their foreheads, and asked the people behind them to take the three tied-up assassins out .

"Prefect Liu, I'm going to inspect the embankment of the Cangzhou River today. After lunch, you can go with me. You can't shirk." Cheng Muzhi glanced at the magistrate who had been kneeling below without saying a word.

"I obey your orders." Prefect Liu bowed respectfully, and retreated behind them alone.

After everyone had left, Liu Qingyan finally poked his head out from under the quilt, his face flushed red, and he asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, can I get up?"

"Go back to sleep," Cheng Muzhi also lay down, "I stayed up all night yesterday, and I have other things to do in the afternoon, so I can't go without rest for too long."

Liu Qingyan nodded, "It's time for me to go back to my room."

"No need," Cheng Muzhi hugged him and rubbed against his neck, "They must have entered your room just now, and they probably found that you were gone. It seems strange that you suddenly went back now."

"Okay." Liu Qingyan bulged her cheeks, and looked at Cheng Muzhi with a pair of beautiful eyes. In fact, he is not too sleepy now.

"Your Highness, are you against that prefect..."

"The one who went to Shengjing must be him." Cheng Muzhi narrowed his eyes, "He seems to be different from the county magistrate."

"It's the same and it's different, you'll know if you try it this afternoon." Liu Qingyan thought for a while, "Your Highness, the county magistrate and prison magistrate will have to cry if they interrogate him."

"Oh," Cheng Muzhi chuckled, "they owe a lot of lives to them, and if they get involved in the struggle between me and Cheng Muze like this, they won't even want to die for a while. I will personally hold them Go to Shengjing and behead him in front of the people of the world. Let the common people complain."

"It's natural." Liu Qingyan was noncommittal.

"This time, things went much smoother than expected." Liu Qingyan's voice gradually dropped, and sleepiness struck again.

"It's also thanks to you," Cheng Muzhi twisted his nose, "Cheng Muze didn't know your identity at the beginning, and he doesn't listen to persuasion, so he never guessed that you would betray him."

"Hmm..." The voice completely weakened, replaced by the sound of long breathing.

Sure enough, after getting up again, these officials no longer cared about why Liu Qingyan was not in his room this morning and why he suddenly appeared in Cheng Muzhi's room. Both of them held handkerchiefs in their hands, sweating for a while. for a while.

"Your Highness..." the supervisor said tremblingly, "The interrogation is over, this...uh..."

This and that have been going on for a long time and haven't uttered a complete sentence.

Cheng Muzhi was obviously too lazy to talk to him, and after finishing his lunch with Liu Qingyan in a leisurely manner, he said to the two people standing side by side, "Keep an eye on him, and I'll talk to you later today." listen."

"Yes..." The supervisor immediately responded, and said again, "Should I be accompanied by officials for this inspection? The magistrate is not in charge of this aspect of affairs, I'm afraid he doesn't know some things carefully."

It was clear whether the prefect should be alone with them.

"No," Liu Qingyan said this time, "It's Cangzhou's parental officer after all. If you don't know these things, you won't know everything."

"Besides," Liu Qingyan added meaningfully, "It's clear to the bystanders."

"Yes, yes, I understand clearly." Seeing that the words were hopeless, the supervisor could only nod repeatedly, and sent the group of three people out with a smile on his face.

Seeing the three of them go away, the smiling face was only gloomy. Looking at the bitter-faced county magistrate, the prison magistrate became furious, "Don't cry, you can't compare to a dead father!" The current situation is fatal!"

"It's not that if I don't cry and look sad, I still have to laugh hahaha?" The county magistrate himself became angry, "Then what should we do now? The surname Liu is alone with those two today, what should be said should not be said. Don't you have to say everything?"

"In addition, we now know some things we shouldn't know, and we can't make it through!" The county magistrate looked at the prison order as if he wanted to cry but couldn't.

"I can't even die," the supervisor looked at the people around him, "If you hadn't heard what the surname Liu told him to go to Shengjing to ask for money, would you have recruited these two?"

"You can pull it off, I am the only one who wants the relief money?" The county magistrate gave him a blank look.
