Integrity and stubbornness are two different things. Nanfeng really doesn't mind being captured at the critical moment. He can't run away anyway. At least he won't be beaten if he is captured.
This is indeed the case. The two detectives caught Nanfeng effortlessly and did not waste any effort at all, so they did not embarrass him. They first asked him if he knew Ji Zhonglin, then searched him, and then tied him up with a rope. Yes, take him back.
Although he was caught, Nan Feng felt at ease in his heart. At least he could be with Fatty. Fortunately, he had been more thoughtful before and didn't have the seal on him. As the saying goes, be cautious before sailing for thousands of years. You have to think about everything. Think about it.
The two detectives took Nan Feng and were very happy. They talked and laughed without looking closely.
Seeing the expressions on the two people's faces, Nan Feng was filled with doubts. Judging from the postures of these two people, it seemed that they did not know that he had spiritual energy cultivation before. If he thought about it carefully, it was indeed the case. If the two of them knew that he had the cultivation of Xuanxuan, I didn't dare to come to get him. This shows that they did not know the details of what happened that day when the temple was destroyed, and they only thought that he and Fatty were two imposter boys.
But that's not right. If the two of them knew that Fatty was a fake, they shouldn't have asked him if he knew Ji Zhonglin. Didn't the county know about their impersonation
In addition, if the fat man had put up a fierce resistance when he was arrested, the two of them would not have been so lax in guarding him. Could it be that the damn fat man was just like him and was captured without any help
The two came on horseback, and the horse was tied under the tree at the entrance of the village. When they left the village, they helped Nanfeng onto the horse. One rode with him and watched him, and the other followed behind on horseback.
The two policemen were very lively. In addition to talking to each other, they would also take the initiative to talk to Nanfeng. Their words were full of flattery and praise. They only said that after taking office, he and the fat man had improved the people's livelihood in Yu County and solved the problem of people's food and clothing. .
After talking about it, Nanfeng could tell that the two of them wanted to find out whether he and the fat man had hidden any silver when they fled.
Nanfeng didn't say yes or no, but instead asked the other party why he and Fatty were arrested. The police officer told him that according to the main blogger, it was because they were logging and destroying forests, and digging rocks into mountains was against the law, and there were two People must bear the consequences for the massive casualties suffered by soldiers when the temple was destroyed.
Nanfeng wasn't very nervous at first, but after hearing what the police officer said, he felt even less worried. These were all trivial matters. The court officials interrogated and reported to the court for instructions, and they were very disciplined. What he was taboo about were those Jianghu sects, which were If you say kill, just kill.
He had also gone through the law before about cutting down trees and destroying forests. This was a capital crime, but it was not a death sentence, but a prison sentence, that is, he was imprisoned first and waited for the queen to be executed. There is a lot of space for the activities of the prison-killing marquis. Those who have money can avoid death by spending money. Those who have no money but have grievances can appeal to have their cases reversed. Those who have no money and have no grievances are not afraid. They can stay in jail honestly. Every year after the autumn There was a general amnesty before Wenzhan, and those sentenced to prison were either sent to the army or exiled, and basically all survived.
"How are you doing, Mr. Ji now?" Nanfeng asked. He needed to confirm what the county government knew. If it was revealed that they were pretending to be imperial officials, then they would not be beheading the prison lords, but beheading them.
"I haven't gone to court yet. According to what he said, you did all these things. He doesn't know the details." A police officer replied.
Nanfeng knew it well, "Did Master Ji ask you to come here to catch me?"
"When something goes wrong, you have to make it clear. Just walking away is not an option." The detective looked around and talked to him.
Although the policeman didn't say it clearly, Nanfeng understood that Fatty deliberately informed the policeman of his whereabouts. To put it bluntly, after Fatty was caught, he felt that the problem was not that serious, but he was not free, so he recruited him and let him go. The police came to arrest him, or rather to pick him up.
Seeing that Nanfeng didn't know whether he had any money, the two detectives changed their tactics. Instead of threatening each other, they started crying and trying to show off. One talked about how difficult his family was, and the other talked about so-and-so who had committed something. He acted secretly and his sentence was changed.
While the two of them were chatting, Nanfeng was thinking about another thing. He was considering whether he could take this opportunity to take out the letter that Tianmu Laodao left for him. After thinking about it, he gave up the idea. , First of all, the location mentioned by Tianmu Lao Dao is in the southwest of Yu County, and the place where he hid the gold is in the north of Yu County. It takes several days to go back and forth, and it is impossible for the police to delay that long.
If he just went to get the letter and the police didn't see the gold or silver, he would be furious. He was not powerless now, but he was definitely no match for the two of them. The most important thing was that he didn't want to run away.
Fortunately, Tianmu Laodao was meticulous in his work, so the letter must have been hidden very secretly. Considering the rainy spring, the letter should have been wrapped in oil paper, and there was no rush to retrieve it immediately.
Having made up his mind, Nanfeng finally spoke, "To tell you the truth, Mr. Ji and I do have some private money, not silver but gold. One of them is located in the mountains to the north of Yu County, about a hundred miles away from Yu County. , that place is easy to find, there is a river in front of the mountain, and there are no trees above the mountainside. The gold is hidden at the highest point of the mountain, pressed under a gray stone."
The two of them were overjoyed when they heard this, and Nanfeng said again, "Master Ji and I are guilty, and our relatives are far away in Chang'an. We have no relatives and friends here. Could you please take the gold and sort it up and down. If I and I If Mr. Ji can save his life after autumn, I will give two thousand taels of gold to the two of you for household use."
The two were already happy, but they were even happier this time. There are two reasons. One is that they got so much gold, and the other is that Nanfeng's requirements are not high. Even if they don't take care of it, they probably won't die. It's not difficult to do this. .
Little did they know that Nanfeng said that on purpose, just to make the other party covet the two thousand taels of gold. As long as the two of them fell in love, he and Fatty would have someone to instigate them in prison.
The two of them were so happy that they untied Nan Feng and even treated him to a meal on the way. They tied him up again when they were near the county town and escorted him back to the county for business.
The person in charge seemed not to be in the government office, so the two of them handed over their errands from the prison cell and escorted Nan Feng to the prison.
On the way, Nan Feng came across a snack shop and wanted to eat snacks. The police officer bought him a pack. Encountering a braised pork shop again, Nanfeng wanted to eat again, so the police officer bought him some more. As they approached the prison, Nan Feng asked for a drink again, and the police officer gave him a jar.
The more Nanfeng demands, the more confident they become. This means that what Nanfeng told the truth before is true. The two of them will definitely get the gold when they go there. If not, they will not beat Nanfeng to death when they come back.
One of the two detectives was carrying a bag of snacks, and the other was carrying a bag of braised pork. Nanfeng himself held the wine jar and went to the prison.
When the cell leader saw the posture of the three people, he immediately knew that Nan Feng had a strong background, and asked an agent in a low voice. The agent said, "This is Master Ji's friend. There may be some misunderstandings. Once it is clarified, maybe He has been reinstated."
This catcher was talking to both the cell boss and Nan Feng, and the implication was to make him hopeful. In fact, Nan Feng knew it in his heart. Even if he did not pretend to be an official of the imperial court, he and the fat man would kill each other. Shu Caishi is also a sure thing. Don't worry about the reinstatement of the official, and he will be exiled to the army.
"Mr. Ji, is this the one you sent yesterday?" The cell leader's expression didn't look right.
"What's going on? What happened? Didn't I tell you to take more care of you?" The policeman winked at the cell leader.
"Master Ji is very capable, you really don't need my attention." The cell leader smiled bitterly and shook his head, took the key, and led the way.
After a prisoner is arrested and brought to justice, he is not thrown into jail immediately. Instead, he is put into a detention cell first and waits for the trial before being convicted and then put into cells of different levels of custody. County government yamen do not give trial every day, sometimes even for ten or twenty days. However, all prisoners awaiting trial are kept in jail.
The prison was very big, with twenty or thirty people inside. Nanfeng hadn't noticed Fatty yet, but Fatty noticed Nanfeng first, "Why did you come here?"
Nan Feng followed the sound and saw the fat man sitting on a pile of straw in the east corner. The other prisoners were crowded to the west, far away from him.
As soon as he heard Fatty's words, Nanfeng knew that he had guessed correctly. The reason why these two detectives were able to catch him was largely due to Fatty.
The cell leader walked over and unlocked the locks. Nanfeng took the opportunity to look at the prisoners crowded to the west. Many of them had bruises on their noses and swollen faces. This should also be attributed to the fat man. The imperial court explicitly prohibited the government officials from beating prisoners, but they also had countermeasures. They instructed prisoners who had been detained for a long time to beat new prisoners. In order to avoid the pain of flesh and blood, the new prisoners could only ask their family members to send money, or Bribing the prison boss, or bribing the old prisoner, no matter what, the money was taken away by the prison boss in the end.
The fat man has become a beggar. Where can he find the money to bribe them? Although his eight-part golden body has only been trained to the first level, it is still more powerful than the ordinary golden bell and iron cloth shirt. How can these ruffians belong to him? opponent.
After sending Nanfeng to the cell, the police officer handed over snacks and braised pork, saying that he should just rest and wait for the hearing.
Nanfeng thanked him and walked towards the fat man with something. The fat man hurriedly got up and came to pick it up, "It's here as soon as it comes. What else do you want to get?"
"Why are you so harsh?" Nanfeng pursed his lips at the prisoners with bruises and swollen faces.
"I wanted to reason with them, but they didn't listen." The fat man took the wine jar from Nanfeng's arms, "By the way, did you tell Lao Bai before you left?"
"I said it, but I don't know if it can understand it." After Nanfeng finished speaking, he asked, "How did you know that I would come out to find you?"
"I don't know you yet." The fat man came over to get the braised pork again.
Nanfeng didn't ask any more, put down his things and sat down on the ground. He was still very weak, riding a bumpy horse, and was very tired.
The fat man opened the meat package first, took the braised meat and chewed it. At the same time, he whispered, "By the way, they don't know that I'm a fake. Did you let it slip?"
Nanfeng shook his head.
The fat man was relieved, "I have asked, the most we can do is to sentence you to a prisoner, and there will be more than half a year between now and Qiu Hou. We will stay in the cell until your cultivation level recovers in Qiu Hou, and then we will kill the general." go out."
"What if my cultivation has not recovered after autumn?" Nanfeng asked with a smile. He was just teasing the fat man. Dragon-tooth Celestial Silkworm will definitely be able to unblock the meridians within half a year, and it may not take half a year.
The fat man also knew that Nan Feng was joking, "Then just wait for the beheading."
Nanfeng raised his right hand and found a woodlice on the back of his hand, and waved it away.
"The environment here is a little worse, but it's safer than outside." The fat man sneered.
"It's not dangerous for us in the cave." Nanfeng glanced at him.
"I don't want to be caught by them either. I didn't know they were still arresting us after so long." The fat man was very embarrassed. "I didn't get any food in the village yesterday, so I went to the town. Who would have thought... "
Nan Feng raised his hand and interrupted the fat man's words, "Okay, we've come in. Let's stay here for now..."
