At this time, there were prisons, but there was not too much standardization. Not only did there be a large number of public prisons in counties and central governments, but there were also a large number of private prisons in some aristocratic families. When I was wandering around in the past, Wang Ningzhi had seen the private prisons of the Wang family with Fengshou. They were not too big and the conditions were even worse. They were originally intended to imprison those slaves who violated the family law, but they could roughly guess that the private prisons of the Wang family were probably not used since they were built.

From then on, it is not an exaggeration to speculate that the owner of the Wang family is kind-hearted and has a very good family tradition. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, Wang Xuanzhi and Wang Ningzhi, the brothers from the Wang family of Langya, were escorted to Kuaiji County Prison, which was a bit inexplicable... At least the first thought was that these two people had made a mistake. Then, if you think about it carefully, you will think of the rumors that had been circulating a few days ago, which made the statement that the county magistrate Xu Shen and the Wang family appear again.

The children of the gentry rarely went to prison, and they had never even been in Kuaiji County. When Wang Ningzhi helped Wang Xuanzhi walk in, the prison guards on both sides did not dare to push and even looked at each other, unable to understand why the county magistrate called these two people over.

The interrogation site was a narrow prison room with poor light transmission. Only a few optical fibers of varying thicknesses were shot in, but the prison room was still very dark and emitted a musty smell... As soon as he came in, Wang Xuanzhi coughed constantly.

"When will the sir come to interrogate? My elder brother is in poor health. Please urge me." Wang Ningzhi said to the prison guard outside.

The jailer nodded and responded, as if he was too concerned about the brothers. He became nervous when there was a slight disturbance. Wang Xuanzhi saw that he was seriously ill, which made him even more afraid to take responsibility. He quickly left after hearing Wang Ningzhi's request.

Not long after, surrounded by a group of officials, the county magistrate Xu Shen slowly walked over. He was in the dark and could not see his expression clearly, but his voice was enough: "We are doing our business, I hope Boyuan and Shuping understands it."

"The adults are really fast in their work. This efficiency is enough to be at the forefront even among the surrounding counties." Wang Ningzhi laughed secretly and said, "If you have any questions, please ask quickly. For me, my elder brother's body is more important."

"Okay, then we'll get to the point." Xu Shen didn't care about Wang Ningzhi's sarcasm. For now, they were in the prison, not themselves. "Boyuan, do you know about the changes in the military ordnance in the county?"

"I don't know."

"When you were an official here, what are your general whereabouts every day?"

"Come to work in the morning, go out for a trip in the afternoon, and go home in the sunset."

“Where to go to play?”

"Most of them are Lanting, sometimes at homes of friends, sometimes in rural areas."

"Can anyone accompany you?"

"Every time the situation is different, it cannot be explained, but my servant, Da Niu, always stays with me."

...

Wang Ningzhi listened quietly to Xu Shen's question, as if he was pressing step by step, but the question asked had little to do with the so-called loss of military weapons... In fact, everyone knew that how the military weapons were lost had been rumored all the time. What was true and no one verified.

In the darkness, the light exposed dust floating in the air. Through such turbid light, you can only see the face that was almost distorted. It was Xu Shen's face. Although it was a bit distorted, the faint smile was still imprinted in Wang Ningzhi's sight, which made him suddenly wake up: Why did Xu Shen raise such a lie that is easy to verify? If it was a simple lie, someone like Xu Shen is so stupid... Obviously it is impossible. Xu Shen must have dealt with it well. If someone checked it, the lesser part would be missing. The less part was used by him - he blamed the loss of the armed force on Wang Xuanzhi, and he could naturally avoid it if he misappropriated the armed force.

Then the part of the weapons he misappropriated was obviously either given to Xu Heng or to Pu Xiang Zhenren - Wang Ningzhi smiled and shook his head. After watching Xu Shen ask a few questions, he did not say anything to release Wang Xuanzhi. Instead, he turned around and left. Instead, Sun Runnian, who was beside him, whispered: "Boyuan, Shuping waits for a moment, the county magistrate needs some time to verify.

"No problem, let's wait for a moment." Wang Ningzhi said calmly, "If it's really noon, I hope Brother Sun will prepare some food for me and the two of you."

"It must be." Sun Runnian agreed to leave.

After everyone left, Wang Xuanzhi's standing body shook, and he was a little unsteady. Wang Ningzhi hurried over and helped him sit down.

Apart from frowning due to illness, Wang Xuanzhi did not feel sad because of the interrogation just now. After sitting down, he said, "It seems that the weapons are really lost. Erlang thinks, who did it?"

"If you think it is right, it should be the county magistrate Xu Shen." Wang Ningzhi leaned over and said in a low voice, "If Xu Shen wants to oppose our Wang family, he must have some support. Those who can make him rely on must be rewarded... Xu Shen has an affair with the refugee general Xu Heng and Puxiang Zhenren, so he obviously misappropriated the weapons to them."

"What a pity, we are imprisoned in prison. If we can go out, we will pass the news to Uncle Hu..."

"Xu Shen won't let us go out." Wang Ningzhi interrupted Wang Xuanzhi's idea and suddenly laughed in the darkness. After a while, he said to the inexplicable Wang Xuanzhi, "But there will always be someone to invite us out. Don't worry, it will be fine."

...

A group of officials led Wang Xuanzhi and Wang Ningzhi to the royal family from the palace and were imprisoned in Kuaiji County Prison, as if they had grown legs. It took a long time to spread all the families of all counties. For many unknown families, they would vaguely guess whether this was a signal, which meant that the county magistrates attacked the gentry. After all, it had never happened before, and it was a son of the Wang family of Langya.

Because of the attention, there will naturally be people who will make a move to open up the news inside the county prison, about the reasons why the Wang brothers were brought in, how the county magistrate interrogated the Wang brothers, etc., and spread it through the mouths of a special person.

Each company has different channels and the information they get is also different. People who are familiar with each other often exchange information with each other. However, after the exchange, the results they get are shocked by everyone.

...

He was very unstable because of her husband's affairs. She didn't have enough rest every day. Under Xie Daoyun's comfort, she fell asleep soon after. Without waking her, Xie Daoyun saw He's fatigue. After thinking about it a little, she could understand. She asked Huan'er to take a small quilt from the bedroom and cover him with a boo. She booed her, and let them make a little less sound when they walked around, and be smarter. After explaining everything, she sorted out her clothes and walked out.

If it is normal, there are not many people walking around in the family except for cleaning the yard and serving the servants. But today is different. You can see a group of younger brothers and sisters outside looking sneakily. It is obvious that after hearing about Wang Xuanzhi, the elder brother is like a father, and the Wang family is close, and they are still very concerned about the elder brother and sister-in-law.

"Second sister-in-law, eldest brother, sister-in-law and the others..." Xie Daoyun met them as soon as she walked out. Wang Mengjiang stood in front, following Xi Daomao and the others.

"Brother and the others were just called for interrogation, which does not mean they were convicted. Don't worry too much. As for the sister-in-law, it was just because Su Ri was very tired to take care of her brother. And because of today's affairs, she was tired and fell asleep inside, so don't bother..." Xie Daoyun told them the reason carefully. Although some of them were older than her, she was more steady in dealing with people. She persuaded her for a while and suppressed their uneasy emotions before she asked them to go back, not cause trouble, and not disturb her sister-in-law's rest, etc., everything was fine.

Just as they left, they called a guard behind them.

"Mrs. Second Young Master." The guard was a little surprised, but did not dare to neglect.

"What's the matter with you? What's your arrangement? Let me tell me." Xie Daoyun stared at the man and ignored his surprised face. "Erlang is my husband after all, and I have heard of his arrangements vaguely. Don't tell me you don't know."

"Yes... I don't know what Erlang said, but the captain gave us an order to free up half of our hands to take care of the masters, as if we were worried about an accident."

"Accident?" Xie Daojun's eyes sterned, "Is there anything outside?"

"There are some strange faces, but the captain told me not to act rashly." The guard answered honestly. Xie Daoyun's eyes almost scared him just now. Then he understood why the captain was worried every time he went to Erlang to report the news.

"Okay, go and protect them from safety."

"yes."

...

The courtyard was quiet and the jade man was independent. After a while, Xie Daoyun sighed quietly.
