Jiang Tiancheng did not expect that Cui Jianfeng would hand over Zhu Guangcai so easily, which was beyond Lu Hechang's expectation. For this reason, he proudly glanced at Lu Hechang who was riding back and walking beside him, feeling very happy.

"Huh," Lu Hechang also noticed Jiang Tiancheng's pride and showed disdain: "It's too early to be happy."

"What do you mean?" Jiang Tiancheng could hear that there was something in Lu Hechang's words, but he didn't want to get angry. He just asked Lu Hechang with a smile: "Lv Du seems to be unhappy."

"How can I? I'm very happy." Lu Hechang forced a smile: "I just don't want to cry."

"Lu Yuanwai really knows how to tell the truth." Jiang Tiancheng asked puzzledly: "What do you mean?"

"It means to be fooled."

"Why are you being fooled?" Jiang Tiancheng laughed. He felt that it was natural for Lu Hechang to be dissatisfied with him for successfully completing this matter.

"After a while, you will know."

When Lu Hechang said this, Jiang Tiancheng felt a little uneasy. However, as he got closer and closer to the county government, his nervousness gradually relaxed.

Cui Jianfeng handed over Zhu Guangcai easily because he trusted Qiu Siyuan, although he did not know how Qiu Siyuan rescued Zhu Guangcai.

They watched Zhu Guangcai enter the county town surrounded by Jiang Tiancheng's officers and soldiers, and then hurried back silently.

"Are you feeling a little uneasy?" Qiu Siyuan seemed to understand Cui Jianfeng's thoughts.

"With God-like people like you around, why should I feel uneasy?"

"Well, I will rescue Mr. Zhu tonight. Anyway, for us, the county government is like an uninhabited land. We can come and go at will."

"But you must not underestimate the enemy. If they do something you didn't expect, it will still cause you serious consequences just like the day your men were shot by arrows."

"Don't worry, it won't happen this time."

When Qiu Siyuan said this, Jiang Tiancheng had already entered the Yamen with his men, and Lu Hechang had nothing to say. When he said "being fooled", Jiang Tiancheng also had a feeling of impending disaster, but now everything has failed.

Didn't happen.

"You just said that I was fooled. What was it?" He couldn't forget to mock Lu Hechang.

"It's not time yet." Lu Hechang didn't say anything.

"I don't want to talk nonsense to you now. Let's eat first and then start interrogating the criminal."

Magistrate Zheng had already prepared the banquet, and those who came from above sat down with other officials from the county according to unofficial rules and seniority. Although the magistrate was the host, he also gave up his seat to this person from Lijingmen.

The powerful minister sat down and did not say any polite words to the host. Most of the officials in front of him were prominent figures from the capital. How could he, a small county magistrate, show off his master's qualifications to greet him? He could only accept an official one level higher.

A crushing fact.

Jiang Tiancheng invited Zhu Guangcai to sit down. Although Zhu Guangcai refused at first, Lu Hechang followed Jiang Tiancheng's instructions and used hard and soft tactics to make Zhu Guangcai understand the situation, reluctantly agreed and came to socialize. After all, this was also an old official secret.

, on capital ranking.

"Everyone," Jiang Tiancheng did not pretend to be an important minister. After all, Zhu Guangcai's rank was higher than him. Although he was already a prisoner of his rank, before he was captured, he had to follow the officialdom routine to greet him: "I am ordered by the Minister of Punishment to

, I came to Wucheng to investigate the case. I thought it would be difficult, but with your great help, I succeeded so easily. I have to thank you all for your hard work and your help."

Maybe it was because the official positions of the people at this table were not right. No one said a polite word to Jiang Tiancheng's opening remarks. The officials sitting around the table just stared at each other and remained silent.

You must understand that the routines of ancient official circles are also very deep. If they are too high or too low, as long as the matching is not suitable, the language will not be clear. In the current situation, Zhu Guangcai, who is high-ranking, is about to become a criminal. What is there to say? Lu Hechang, who is of the same rank, looks down on him.

The person who was relegated to the position of deputy was too lazy to socialize; the person with a lower rank, Zheng Mingjie, now that he no longer has the identity of the host, it is not appropriate to speak as the guest, so he had to keep silent.

Everyone finished eating and drinking in silence, hurriedly ending the official meal, and then led by Zheng Mingjie into the county government hall to accompany Jiang Tiancheng to retrial the original case.

"Mr. Jiang, please walk slowly into the main hall from here, and then sit behind the case trial table. Sit upright." Because Jiang Tiancheng was originally an official in Lijingmen, he didn't know anything about the county government's case trial rules.

Back then, it was not like today. Due to inconvenient transportation, official rules at all levels could not be understood through the Internet or books. He had no choice but to condescend to ask the county magistrate for advice in advance. The county magistrate also took the trouble to demonstrate to him how the county magistrate went to court.

Want to order.

Because Jiang Tiancheng was not a member of the Ministry of Justice, he was naturally not as familiar with the trials of prefecture and county officials as Lu Hechang was. But as a civil servant, he was afraid of making things worse, so he had rehearsed them beforehand.

After all preparations were made, Jiang Tiancheng began to retrial the rape and murder case of Lu Dazhu and the rebellion case of demotion. The other Tang officials sat on both sides of the trial table and watched the trial process.

As usual during the trial, the two criminals were asked to repeat the confession they had given twice before. Jiang Tiancheng occasionally asked a few questions and they answered a few questions. After the questions were asked, Jiang Tiancheng said that the rape and murder case was not the case he was here to investigate.

The original conclusion of closing the case is also maintained.

"The focus of our trial is the flying house incident that the two of them encountered, which is also the later incident of forging copper coins with square holes and attacking officers and soldiers with magic lights." Jiang Tiancheng took a final glance at the criminal and the man sitting next to him.

officials said.

"What's the point of trying the case like this?" Lu Hechang, who was sitting aside, felt very disgusted after hearing this: "The conclusion is the same as the last two times." After saying that, he ignored the rules of the main hall and stood up quickly, waving his hand:

Withdraw.

All the officials looked at each other in confusion and didn't know what to do. It was originally the county magistrate's call to ascend or leave the hall. Now it was Jiang Tiancheng who was sitting in the middle of the hall. It should have been normal for him to call, but now Lu Hechang, who was sitting on the side, could call. Everyone.

Naturally, I don’t know what to do.

"Slow down!" Jiang Tiancheng didn't understand that he should shout "retreat", so naturally he wasn't angry at all. He just thought it was the same no matter who shouted. But his court affairs were not finished yet, so of course he couldn't let everyone withdraw.

. He hurriedly shouted to the door of the main hall: "Zhang Hu, Li Yang, come in."

Zhang Hu and Li Yang were members of the Criminal Department who came with Jiang Tiancheng to investigate the case. As soon as they heard Jiang Tiancheng's words, they immediately ran in and stood in front of the case investigation table, waiting for instructions.

"Take it!" Jiang Tiancheng shouted again.

Zhang Hu and Li Yang immediately moved forward, picked up the plate rack that had been placed by the door, stepped forward and grabbed Zhu Guangcai's arms, quickly and skillfully put the rack around his neck, and closed it with a clang.

"What do you want to do?" Zhu Guangcai yelled angrily.

"Hehe," Jiang Tiancheng acted as if nothing was wrong, still looking at Zhu Guangcai and smiling politely: "these two criminals have nothing to do with the case of rebellion, and their suspicion can be completely ruled out. But Zhu Gong is different. Since the jailer that night

Judging from their identification, you are the real criminal in the case of dehumanizing God and treason."

"Except Member Jiang," Lu Hechang suddenly stood up again, pointed at Zhu Guangcai angrily and asked, "Why do you accuse him of being the criminal in the case of defrauding God? We all know that he led the cavalry to pursue the real criminal in the case of defrauding God. He also

He was almost knocked down by the demonic light. You just came here and you haven't even seen the demon, so why did you decide the case so randomly?"

"It's Lu Du's business, you should stay away from this matter. If you have evidence, no one can rely on it." Jiang Tiancheng showed displeasure, but he still didn't show up. He turned to Zhang Hu and Li Yang shouted: "Take him down.

To death row."

"Aren't you afraid of offending Di Guolao and ruining your reputation by convicting people like this?"

"What are you afraid of?" Jiang Tiancheng retorted: "It's just because you are always afraid of this and that that you delay this case again and again, and it cannot be concluded."

"Then do you think you have closed this case?" Lu Hechang was trembling with anger: "Don't look at the real derogatory people who are still out there. They may still come to trouble you. Don't even say you have closed the case. I'm afraid it won't even happen again.

I can’t even save my head.”

"Aren't you just trying to cheer me up?" Jiang Tiancheng smiled: "Don't always use them to scare me."

"You, you" Lu Hechang pointed at Jiang Tiancheng, so angry that he didn't know what to say.
