The two words above are inexplicably oppressive to everyone.
Above Ping'an County, there is only one Nanyu Prefecture.
The Wei Dynasty was divided into prefectures, prefectures, counties, towns and villages.
Nanyu Prefecture is equivalent to the "city" in the previous life, and Ping'an County is the county seat of the lower reaches.
The government has sent people down, they are high officials, any one of them can beat the county magistrate.
Agent Chen didn't hesitate at all. He stood up immediately, without leaving any more words, and left neatly with his men.
After Detective Chen and others leave.
Doctor Zhao and Xu Qingxiao were the only two people left in the room.
The house was very quiet.
Doctor Zhao didn't say anything, he just cooked the medicine for Xu Qingxiao.
Xu Qingxiao didn't speak, but thought about things calmly.
About a quarter of an hour passed.
After it was completely quiet outside for a long time, Doctor Zhao's voice sounded.
"I can't believe that you can solve such a predicament. My dear friend, you are really like a dragon or a phoenix among men."
Doctor Zhao's voice sounded.
He couldn't help but sigh.
The cold poison in Xu Qingxiao's body was completely gone. It might be difficult to explain in the eyes of others, but he knew it better than anyone else.
I heard what Dr. Zhao said.
Xu Qingxiao did not hide anything. Dr. Zhao is a smart man. If he continues to deceive him, he will be a villain.
"Thank you for pointing out a clear path for me."
Xu Qingxiao slowly stood up. Although he was injured, he was still fine after resting for half a day. At least he could get up without any problem.
"well."
However, Dr. Zhao did not accept this sentiment, but sighed, shook his head and said.
"Little friend Qingxiao, although you have escaped this disaster, there is still another disaster that may be very troublesome."
Doctor Zhao spoke out as a reminder.
Xu Qingxiao immediately understood what the other party meant.
The cold poison has been lifted, which is a good thing for me, but for Ping'an County, this is not a good thing.
A mortal man suddenly recovers.
Who doesn't doubt it?
If the county government handles this matter, it may be a big deal and a trivial matter. But if Nanyu Mansion sends people over, how can they just give up?
Strange magic is taboo.
Once discovered, shoot without mercy.
If nothing goes wrong, I'm afraid that people from Nanyu Mansion will come looking for him soon. If he can't get around it, he will be dead in the end.
This is the calamity that Dr. Zhao talks about.
"Dr. Zhao, no matter what, I will not sit still and wait for death, but I hope Dr. Zhao can come to the rescue."
Xu Qingxiao spoke out, he already had a plan in mind, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed here, he could have fled with the fugitives.
But that would only be more dangerous.
The Wei dynasty was not for nothing. There were countless elite soldiers in Nanyu Mansion, as well as many talented people and strangers. Where could I, a newly-qualified warrior, escape to?
They will probably be captured to the end of the world, so it is better to stay and fight to the death.
After all, as long as there is no evidence that he practices strange arts, Nanyu Mansion will not dare to do anything, it will just be a key guard.
Xu Qingxiao was gambling.
If you bet correctly, all crises will be resolved.
If you lose the bet, you will die anyway.
At least I tried my best.
"Alas, I have the will but am powerless. The things involved this time are too big, and nine tribes may be implicated at every turn. The only thing I can do is to say nothing. The rest..."
Doctor Zhao picked up the pot of medicine and poured it into an old bowl. He did not say the second half of his words, but Xu Qingxiao understood the meaning.
Yes, it is the same crime to not report anything involving strange magic. Once discovered, the nine clans will be implicated.
Doctor Zhao didn't say anything, which was a huge help. Otherwise, as long as Doctor Zhao told what happened that day, it would be difficult for him to stand up.
Therefore, Xu Qingxiao was very grateful.
"Thank you so much, Dr. Zhao. Such kindness will be unforgettable."
Xu Qingxiao thanks her from the bottom of her heart.
"It doesn't matter, I'm already sixty. When I was young, I was aggressive and aggressive, which hurt my energy. I won't live long. If it had been ten years earlier, I'd probably have reported to the government."
"You wait for this bowl of medicine to cool down before drinking it. It has the effect of activating blood circulation. You can rest well after drinking it."
Dr. Zhao left the decoction and left with the medicine box.
"Doctor, walk slowly."
After Xu Qingxiao saw Doctor Zhao out of the door, she returned to the room.
He looked at the medicinal soup on the table calmly, remained silent for a long time, and finally poured out the medicinal soup.
It's not that she doesn't believe Dr. Zhao, it's just that Xu Qingxiao is more willing to believe in herself.
The room was extremely quiet.
Xu Qingxiao sat quietly.
He knew that Nanyu Mansion would definitely send someone to interrogate him.
The interrogation questions were nothing more than three.
First, when I saw the fugitive, why didn’t he die?
Second, how to get rid of the cold poison in yourself?
Third, how did you get into the category?
These three questions are the most critical. If any of them are not explained clearly, it will be a big trouble.
But since she dared to stay here, Xu Qingxiao was somewhat confident.
Take back your mind.
Xu Qingxiao began to recall the second volume of strange techniques in her mind.
Taiyin Pulse Condensation Technique.
This is a strange technique given to him by the fugitive, and he was traded for the Golden Crow Body Tempering Technique.
Xu Qingxiao was a little curious and wanted to study it.
Nanyu Mansion has sent people here, and it is estimated that they will have to wait at least a while before they can find him. Catching the fugitive first is the first priority.
You shouldn't be in a hurry about your own affairs.
However, before Xu Qingxiao could think about it, bursts of footsteps appeared.
"So fast?"
Xu Qingxiao frowned, he didn't expect the county government to send someone so soon?
Sure enough, as the footsteps got closer and closer.
The door was opened again.
However, what surprised Xu Qingxiao was that the people who came were not county government officials, but a group of officials wearing blue clothes.
On the chest of the officer, there is the word "Southern Yu" embroidered on it.
This is an official from Nanyu Prefecture.
Each one seemed cold and stern, causing inexplicable oppression.
"Xu Qingxiao!"
"According to Master Cheng's instructions, I will arrest you and bring you to the county jail for interrogation."
The leader of the official spoke. He had a hooked nose and cold eyes. He placed his right hand on the handle of the knife, as if he was ready to take action at any time.
Faced with this situation, Xu Qingxiao did not resist.
No one in this group of people is lower than tenth grade, especially the leader, who is at least a ninth-grade warrior.
If he dared to take action, he would probably be killed on the spot.
So without any struggle, Xu Qingxiao stretched out her hand.
At that moment, two officers walked out and got directly onto the torture device.
Shackles weighing ten pounds and leg locks.
The leg lock holds an iron ball, which weighs at least twenty kilograms.
If it were not for entering the realm and having this instrument of torture on the body, it would be tiring even to sit and walk, let alone walking.
"May I ask, my lord, what have I committed? Do I need to be tortured?"
Xu Qingxiao asked. After all, acting requires a complete set and all the instruments of torture. If you remain silent, you are not asking yourself.
However, the latter did not answer and just left the place with Xu Qingxiao.
From Xu Qingxiao's home to the county government office, it usually takes a quarter of an hour to get there, but with the shackles on, it took a full three-quarters of an hour for Xu Qingxiao to arrive at the county government office.
At this moment.
The county government office is brightly lit, and many official officials can be vaguely seen through the gate.
However, Xu Qingxiao did not go to the county government office, but directly to the prison.
This is a big difference.
In the county government interrogation, there is no precise evidence.
For interrogation in prison, there is either sufficient evidence or preparations for torture to extract a confession, otherwise there is no need to go to prison.
Xu Qingxiao seemed a little panicked along the way, but she was very calm inside.
He knew that the people sent by Nanyu Mansion would not let him go easily.
I just didn't expect to take myself so seriously.
The fugitives were not arrested, but I was interrogated first. It seemed that I still underestimated the Nanyu Mansion and the court's emphasis on magic.
County prison.
The entrance is not very big, but it looks a bit small and simple. After all, in a place like Ping'an County, there is not much money that can be placed in the prison.
The entire prison was also filled with a strange smell, which was hard to pinpoint. It was basically dirty and messy, and there was a lot of smell of feces and urine.
However, the jails in Ping'an County basically detain petty thieves, and there are few repeat offenders.
Xu Qingxiao was wearing shackles and foot restraints, so she could be considered a repeat offender.
Therefore, the prisoners on both sides of the prison glanced at him with surprised eyes.
The dark prison was only illuminated by a few simple lamps.
Xu Qingxiao followed the officer in front and walked in, and soon arrived at the interrogation place.
There was a stool, a table, and old torture instruments, but nothing else.
"Master Cheng, the criminal has been brought."
The aquiline-nosed officer suddenly spoke. He clasped his fists and bent down, bowed towards the deserted place, and said with great respect.
next moment.
A voice sounded from the darkness.
"Wait outside the door."
The voice seemed a little lazy, but the majesty it exuded made people feel inexplicably heartbroken.
Without any nonsense, the officials who came to detain Xu Qingxiao retreated and left one after another.
In the entire interrogation place, only Xu Qingxiao and an unknown Master Cheng were left.
"Master Cheng, I really don't know what crime I have committed. There must be a misunderstanding."
Xu Qingxiao spoke immediately to clarify for himself.
This is the behavior of a normal prisoner.
Anyone who can come down from Nanyu Mansion is definitely not a straw bag. Instead of arresting fugitives, he comes directly to interrogate himself, which is enough to prove that this person is very capable.
So Xu Qingxiao didn't want him to see through such details.
"There's no need to rush to clarify."
"I am not the kind of person who confuses right and wrong."
"You only need to answer my three questions. If you can answer them correctly, this matter ends here and has nothing to do with you."
"Understand?"
In the darkness, the voice sounded again, still lazily, but perhaps Qingxiao was more vigilant and rigorous.
"I also invite you to ask questions, sir. I will definitely tell you everything I know."
Xu Qingxiao looked frightened.
"On March 3rd of the first year of Wuchang, at the third moment of the ugly hour, you were injured by a fugitive from the imperial court, and you were poisoned by the Yin Ming cold poison. Yes or no?"
The other party's voice rang, this was the first question.
"yes."
Xu Qingxiao answered directly without hesitation.
"On March 4th, Wuchang Year 1, at noon, you suddenly appeared in the archives and said that you saw a fugitive from the imperial court at the top of the mountain on the way to the north. Is that true or not?"
The other party asked again.
"yes."
Xu Qingxiao still answered.
"In the same year, in the same month, on the same day, after people left, when you were helped to the archives, did you steal the magic and practice it on your own?"
The third problem arises.
In an instant, a figure slowly walked out and appeared under the oil lamp.
