Shocked and frightened, Zhu Yicheng, who had not entered the water, finally fell asleep in a dim and wet cell. He didn't know how long he had slept. When he opened his eyes, Zhu Yicheng found a faint figure squatting in front of him.

"Wuwu...Wuwuwu..." It was like a drowning person trying to catch the last life-saving straw. Zhu Yicheng struggled with his only remaining strength, trying to raise his head and try to ask for help from the people.

"Beheaded man! What are you calling me, be honest!" Wang Zhong scolded, squatted down and pulled Zhu Yicheng up, took out the rag stuffed in his mouth, and a broken bowl held in his left hand: "Drink!"

A smell of rotten mold floated out of the bowl, and there was porridge with no color inside. Not to mention eating this kind of thing, it was almost the same for feeding pigs. In the past, Zhu Yicheng would not even look at it, but now he was worried and hungry, and he was already hungry. Zhu Yicheng, who had been anxious and anxious, couldn't wait to put his head over, opened his mouth and drank it clean.

After drinking, Zhu Yicheng still licked the remaining porridge on the corner of his mouth with unfulfilled satisfaction, and then took this opportunity to beg Wang Zhong.

"Brother, brother! You are so good, I'm not a bad guy. Please help me, let me go... let me go... as long as I take me out, I will thank you..."

"Bah! I'm giving you porridge because I'm afraid you'll starve to death in prison. You're so bad, you're trying to pull me into the water? Mom Xipi!" Wang Zhong's expression changed suddenly, and he almost kicked Zhu Yicheng with a heavy kick and got angry. Then, without saying a word, he pulled Zhu Yicheng, who was gasping for air conditioning, stuffed the rag into his mouth again, cursed and turned away from the cell.

The sky outside was gradually brightening, and the long night finally passed. In Wang Zhong's opinion, Zhu Yicheng, an imperial prisoner, must be beheaded, but this person has a special identity after all, and he cannot be killed inexplicably in prison, so he would have a bowl of porridge for him. When he returned to the duty room, Wang Zhong just sat down and drank a sip of water, the sound of slamming the door outside.

"Master Li Er!" Wang Zhong quickly stood up and walked quickly with Wang San, opened the small window on the door and glanced out first, and then opened the door quickly.

"How are you?" Li Erzhuang, the county's criminal hall, came and asked anxiously as soon as he entered the door.

"Don't worry, I'm locked in the jail well, but this kid looks weak and the prison is wet and cold. I'm afraid something is wrong, so I went to drink half a bowl of porridge just now." Wang Zhong replied without any concealment.

Li Erzhuang nodded with satisfaction. Wang Zhong made a good arrangement, and Zhu Yicheng was a criminal offender. It was a major concern. You must not have an accident here before handing over it.

"There is no other situation?"

"As your oldest and nephew told us to stay here, never sleeping all night." Wang Zhong replied quickly.

"That's great, I'll keep an eye on it! If something happens, let alone you, even I have to... understand?"

"I understand, the little one understand..." Wang Zhong nodded repeatedly, and saw Wang San still standing beside him in a daze, and Wang San, who came to his senses, nodded and bowed to Li Erzhuang as Wang Zhong.

Li Erzhuang didn't stay in the prison for a long time. After asking a few questions, he hurriedly left. He returned to the county government and reported to Liu Jun who was waiting in the second hall. Liu Jun, who had not been asleep for a night, was relieved after hearing this.

"When is it now?" Looking at the sky outside, Liu Jun asked while begging.

"Go back to Master, Chen Shi is about to pass." Li Erzhuang said in a flash.

"By the way, why haven't Li Guoshi come back after leaving for so long?" Liu Jun frowned and thought for a while and said, "Li Er, go to the city gate to take a look. If Li Guoshi comes back, come and report me immediately!"

"Yeah!" Li Erzhuang hurriedly agreed to run away. Liu Jun, who was staying in the second hall, was waiting anxiously.

In less than half an hour, Liu Junzheng and Zhou Zhongliang were talking nonsense, and they could vaguely hear the sound of rapid footsteps coming from a distance.

"I'm afraid that someone is back, County Master, I'll go and have a look first?" Zhou Zhongliang's face was immediately delighted and he quickly stood up. Liu Jun stood up at the same time and said, "Let's go together." After that, Zhou Zhongliang took the lead and Liu Jun was behind, and the two hurriedly left the second hall.

"Here you come! Master, my brother is finally back!" As soon as he turned to the lobby, he saw Li Erzhuang running in panting. When he heard Li Guoshi coming back, Liu Jun felt relieved and asked where he was urgently there. Li Erzhuang replied that he would arrive at the county government office immediately. As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves came from outside.

When they rushed to the county government gate, Liu Jun saw the group who had just arrived. The three people who led the army got off the horse in front of the door. One of them was Li Guoshi who was sent by Liu Jun to report the news, and the other two Liu Jun also knew each other, one was Huang Jie, the governor of the government, and the other was Wu Gang and Wu Bar.

"I've seen the master." After getting off the horse, he looked up and saw Liu Jun and Zhou Zhongliang coming quickly from the county yamen. Li Guoshi hurriedly met him and saluted Liu Jun.

"Thank you for your hard work, but the journey is going smoothly?" Liu Jun asked anxiously.

"The little Master Lao is concerned. After seeing the master's urgent report, the prefect immediately sent Lord Huang and Wu to rush back day and night with his subordinates..."

Liu Jun nodded with satisfaction. Huang Jie and Wu Gang came, and the hot potatoes locked in prison could finally be sent out. In this way, his contributions were fulfilled.

"Mr. Huang! Lord. Mr. Wu! We worked hard all the way."

Liu Jun stepped forward and met Huang Jie a few steps. When Wu Gang was about to meet, Huang Jie, who had just dismounted, bowed his hands with a stern face and said, before he could speak, Wu Gang, who was anxious at the side, asked anxiously: "Sir Liu, where is this prisoner now?"

"It's just locked up in the prison of our county government. Please rest assured, two adults, you are fine."

Hearing this sentence, both Wu Gang and Huang Jie couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Last night, Li Guoshi rushed to the government office to see the governor Zhang Chaozong. After reading Liu Jun's letter, Zhang Chaozong was surprised and happy. He found Huang Jie and Wu Gang overnight and asked the two to immediately take people and Li Guoshi back to Yuyao County, and escort Qin to the capital of Hangzhou. At the same time, he wrote a letter, and together with the letter sent by Liu Jun, he quickly reported to the governor's office.

"Mr. Liu, this is the official letter given to you by the prefect. Please check it out." Huang Jie took out a official letter from his arms, and Liu Jun took it with both hands and took it out. Yes, this official letter was given to Liu Jun by the prefect Zhang Chaozong. It was clearly written on it. Liu Jun and Huang Jie handed over to the capital Hangzhou after reviewing the confession.

"Two sirs have worked hard all the way, please come inside!"

Huang Jie nodded and took Wu Gang to the county government office with Liu Jun.

In the second hall, before Zhou Zhongliang could have someone to serve tea, Huang Jie asked, "Mr. Liu, you received your urgent report from the prefect, but this person is in fact wrong? You must know that this matter is of great importance. The prefect has sent someone to report to the capital, but it is not careless at all!"

After saying that, Huang Jie narrowed his eyes and stared at Liu Jun, waiting for Liu Jun's answer. Liu Jun had known that Huang Jie would have had this question, so he immediately winked at Zhou Zhongliang. Zhou Zhongliang knew that he had come forward to report the prepared confession, and at the same time told Huang Jie about the arrest of Zhu Yicheng and the subsequent interrogation.

Huang Jie opened the confession and looked carefully, listening to Zhou Zhongliang's story in his ears, without any fluctuations on his face. After reading carefully, he asked a few more detailed questions. After Zhou Zhongliang answered one by one, Huang Jie's face, which was always dark, finally showed a smile.

"Congratulations to Lord Liu. I didn't expect Lord Liu to get Zhu Sanqin. This is a great achievement!"

"There are all things that are entrusted to the emperor's blessing, the Lord Futai and the Lord of the Prefect are wise, and the subordinates are just doing their duty." Liu Jun bowed to the direction of the capital, but the indelible pride and excitement in his expression was obvious.

Looking at Liu Jun's happy look, Huang Jie was full of envy and jealousy. The Simingshan counter-case and the Zhu San Crown Qin case had happened one after another. Yuyao County was the first to be hit, but the rebels had just been extinguished and the Zhu Sanqin case was not fully settled. Liu Jun was able to survive in his post as a member of Yuyao County. But anyone with a discerning eye knew that Liu Jun, the magistrate, had long been a salted fish that could not die again. But who would have thought that this salted fish could turn over? Although Liu Jun only caught Zhu San's grandson, you should know that the Zhu San Crown Prince's case has been in chaos since the Ming Dynasty and the court looked at the thorns in his eyes. Now that Zhu San's family has been arrested, Liu Jun's merits and demerits are enough. This merit and demerits are reported to him. Maybe he can go further with this.

Thinking of this, Huang Jie couldn't help but sigh in his heart and said goodbye. But this is good. The case of Zhu San Prince has shaken the world. Zhejiang has been in constant trouble in recent years, and it can be said that it is in turmoil. The big bosses and even the emperor in the capital have criticized the whole world of Zhejiang's officialdom. This person is nothing wrong with him, and it is not a bad thing for them.

"Since the criminal is correct, we will escort the criminal to the capital as soon as possible according to the arrangement of the prefect." Huang Jie closed the confession and put it on his hand.

"Of course, I don't know when Lord Huang plans to set off?"

"It's not too late to prepare for this matter. Let's set off at noon." Huang Jie thought for a while and looked at Wu Gang. Wu Gang agreed immediately without any other intentions. However, Wu Gang raised a condition on the spot. Because the incident was rushed, their team was in a hurry and there was not enough staff. For safety reasons, Yuyao County asked to allocate some personnel to escort the Qin criminal together.

"This..." Liu Jun suddenly looked puzzled. Although the prefect Zhang Chaozong mentioned one or two in the official document, the number of regular servants in the third squad of Yuyao County was not large. There were only more than fifty people from the headmaster to the squad to the white squad who made up the numbers. Usually, it was enough to be careless, but this matter was not careless. Thinking about it carefully, there were not many people who could actually use it. Moreover, the rebels in Simingshan were just destroyed, and the local security personnel in Yuyao County were already tight, and there were only a few people who could be allocated.

"How can this be done? Too few and too few! At least twenty people are needed!" Wu Gang widened his eyes when he heard this, and stretched out his hand in front of Liu Jun.

"Mr. Wu, if our county does not station troops, we really can't get these twenty people in the county. What's more, it's up to the imperial offender, and the people sent must be reliable. You know, two lords, that Zhu San has been hiding in the county for decades, if..."

Huang Jie's eyebrows jumped and raised his hand to stop Wu Gang who was about to speak. Although Liu Jun was a mediocre official, his words were right. Zhu San hid in Yuyao County for decades, and Yuyao County knew a lot of people. Once the sent people had anything to do with the Zhu San family, things would be bad on the way.

"Mr. Liu, this grandson of Zhu San was arrested and brought to justice. Is this news in Gui County...?"

"Please rest assured, Lord Huang, my family knows the importance of this matter. I dare not leak any news at all. There are only a few people in the county who know their identity." Zhou Zhongliang explained on the side, and Huang Jie felt certain and nodded slightly.

"What Lord Liu is worried about is not unreasonable, but this manpower seems to be a little less..." But I thought that Yuyao County could only send five people, and the number of people he brought was not more than twenty. Nearly 00 miles from Yuyao to the capital, these people were probably not enough.

"Mr. Huang, I have an idea, I don't know whether to say it or not." Zhou Zhongliang said from the side when he saw Huang Jie's face frowning slightly.

"Oh, what good advice do you have?"

"I dare not take good advice, but I just have a little bit of my opinion." Zhou Zhongliang bowed and said, "I think it is not appropriate to escort Qin Qin to the top. First, there are a few people, and second, this is easy to leak news. It is better to disguise yourself and travel, which will make it easier."

"Disguised travel?" Huang Jie's heart moved and his eyes looked at Zhou Zhongliang. Zhou Zhongliang immediately explained that he suggested getting a big cart and hiding the criminal Zhu Yicheng in the car, and then the group pretended to be officials and family members to travel quietly to the capital. In this way, they could keep secrets strictly and move forward lightly. 00 miles can only be reached in two days according to the itinerary according to the foot strength.

Not to mention, the idea that Zhou Zhongliang sounded good, which made Huang Jie's eyes lit up. It was much more convenient to travel with officials and relatives, and it was much faster to travel, so he might encounter less trouble on the road. As for the personnel, this was just right.

The more Huang Jie thought about this method, the more appropriate it was, but he still expressed his own opinions on the details. Of course, neither Liu Jun nor Zhou Zhongliang would refute Huang Jie's suggestions, but they did not expect that Huang Jie not only proposed that one carriage was not enough, but preferably two carriages, which looked more like the travel of officials and relatives, and secondly, it could be replaced by carriages on the road. At the same time, Huang Jie also asked Zhou Zhongliang to accompany him. In his opinion, since he was a family member of officials and relatives who had traveled without a servant or housekeeper, it was also a flaw, and only Zhou Zhongliang could take on this role.

"My master, how about you accompany Lord Huang?" Liu Jun said to Zhou Zhongliang with a smile.

"It's all for state affairs and the emperor. Of course there is no problem with me. Please take care of Lord Huang along the way." Zhou Zhongliang didn't expect Huang Jie to name his name, but this was not a bad thing for him. As long as he escorted Qin to the capital, his work would be a contribution. Zhou Zhongliang answered without thinking.
