Kill me a few more times and I'll be invincible

Shen Qinghe looked at the file in his hand and couldn't help but slap his thigh on the spot:

"good-----"

Just when he was halfway through shouting the word "good", he saw the surprised looks of other officials, so he dragged out the words:

"What a courage!"

After saying that, his thoughts were ups and downs and he couldn't control himself.

I originally thought that Qiao Pif was so audacious that he dared to discuss government affairs and insult the emperor... but he didn't expect that his words were quite convincing.

"The emperor regards his people as cattle and horses, so can he easily abandon them and surrender to the immortals?"

"Ha. He dares to say it."

"I underestimated him too."

Shen Qinghe recited Qiao Mu's words silently in his heart several times, and the more he recited them, the more emotions surged up and down in his heart.

When Wang Shanhe was the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, he was a fifth-rank doctor of the Ministry of Punishment, and he most yearned for Wang Shanhe's original demeanor of carrying a coffin to the court to admonish the dead.

Now he saw Qiao Pif in a teahouse angrily cursing the emperor, and he was very pleased.

"It would be a pity if this person died here." A thought came to his mind.

If Qiao Pif is just a talent recommended by Wang Shanhe, then he will not recruit people, which goes against his principles.

But this time, he had such an idea.

He did what he thought of, and immediately went out and went straight to the mansion of the prefect of Heyang.

This Magistrate Lou can be regarded as an old acquaintance of his former classmate.

It's just that now one of them is a fourth-rank local official, and the other is a seventh-rank sesame official under him. Shen Qinghe was also a face-conscious person. Since he was a low-ranking official, he did not seek out this former classmate to establish friendship.

But this time, he couldn't care less.

He arrived at the door of the mansion all the way. He was about to tell the guard that he was coming to visit, but he suddenly stopped and was choked for a moment.

Shen Qinghe, who had been an official for many years, had asked for mercy, and this was the first time he had rescued a serious criminal from prison. For a moment, he couldn't think of how to ask for mercy.

Shen Qinghe hesitated repeatedly outside the door, but was noticed by the concierge. Shen Qinghe sighed, put on a smile and stepped forward to speak.

"Shen Qinghe?"

Magistrate Lou was practicing calligraphy in his study, writing the word "Yong" on the rice paper spread out with pen and ink. When he heard the news from his servants, he couldn't help but stop writing and smiled.

"Isn't he always a tough guy? He knows how to bow his head this time?"

He had actually heard about the fact that Joe Piff was convicted for his words.

Mainly because what this person said was so treasonous that it left a deep impression on him.

As a prefect, after a little investigation, he found out that Qiao Pif was recommended by Shen Qinghe.

In the past few days, he deliberately left Qiao Pif in prison without killing him immediately. In fact, it was more or less because he wanted to watch a show. He wanted to see if the insufferable Shen Qinghe would be willing to show off his face.

"No." He waved his hand:

"Let him hang out outside the house for a few days first."

He picked up the brush again and continued writing.

He wasn't in a hurry, since he wasn't the one in prison anyway.

Continuing to write, time passed by, and soon the sun was setting.

At this time, another servant arrived at the door of the study.

"Why, is Shen Qinghe still waiting outside the mansion?" Magistrate Lou put down his pen and looked up with a smile.

But what he saw was that besides the servant, there was another middle-aged man with bulging temples and eyes as cold as a deep pool.

"Master Lou." Guard Chu took out Feiyu Guard's waist badge and showed it off.

"I came here this time with the oral instructions of the current Holy Emperor."

"Pardon the police officer who was imprisoned for talking about government affairs, Joe Piff."

Magistrate Lou looked up at the visitor, his eyes twitching slightly.

..

The sun has set in the west, and the sunset dyes half of the sky red.

Shen Qinghe had been standing outside the mansion for a long time, and his face gradually turned gray.

The prefect told him to wait until the sun went down on the grounds that he was "not feeling well and taking a nap"... He was not a fool, so he naturally knew what this old acquaintance meant.

"That's all, if this doesn't work out, I've tried my best."

He was about to turn around and leave when the door of the mansion behind him suddenly opened.

"Brother Shen, you have finally come to my house." Magistrate Lou walked over quickly with a smile on his face, held Shen Qinghe's hand, and walked towards the house.

"I've been feeling cold recently, and I've been sleeping until dusk. My servants are rude and have neglected me. Please don't take offense."

"No way, it's me who's bothering the palace master..." Shen Qinghe also forced a smile.

Although he was confused and puzzled, he wanted to ask for help, so he naturally would not ask questions at this time.

Palace Master is not a formal official title, it is just an honorific title.

According to the custom of the Great Yan Dynasty, the chief of a city who is also the prefect and a warrior, with considerable strength, and a local official who can handle both military and political affairs, is generally called the head of the palace.

His official title is magistrate, but as the head of the palace, he is essentially equivalent to the local emperor.

He followed the prefect into the hall and patiently chatted for a quarter of an hour before Shen Qinghe told him about Qiao Pif.

"Why should Brother Shen worry about this matter?" Magistrate Lou smiled warmly:

"Brother Shen, I don't know. I actually admire Qiao Pif's uprightness and dare to tell the truth. But this matter is against the laws of Great Yan after all, so I only plan to lock him up for a few days and then find a reason to release him. "

"Oh?" Shen Qinghe suddenly showed surprise:

"Does the Palace Master also think that the current Saint is greedy and afraid of life----"

"Pfft----" Magistrate Lou almost spit out a sip of tea after hearing this, and looked at Shen Qinghe in fear.

The Feiyu Guard official beside the emperor had just left not long ago.

The Feiyu Guards were not only the personal guards directly under the emperor, but also had the duty of supervising all the officials. If he had been criticized for what he just said... he would break into a cold sweat.

As expected, Shen Qinghe cannot have a deep friendship...

Magistrate Lou abruptly changed the topic, continued chatting for a while, and then asked casually:

"It seems that Qiao Pifu has just arrived in Heyang Mansion. His household registration status was also handled by Brother Shen, right?"

"I wonder what the origin of this strong man who dares to tell the truth is?"

Shen Qinghe's heart trembled.

The strange feeling in my heart before finally came to an end at this moment.

This Magistrate Lou, the dignified head of the palace and a proper local official, seems to be cautiously trying to find out the identity of Qiao Pif?

Then Qiao Pif, a high-level martial artist with a damaged soul, might have a more prominent background than he thought?

.....

Inside the government prison cell.

Qiao Mu, who was bound by heavy iron ropes, stretched his body with difficulty.

The crazy cat from before had disappeared and escaped from the window.

"Damn it, that crazy cat actually dared to pose in front of me like that, letting others tease me. If it weren't for the fact that there were so many chains tied to its body, making it difficult to move, I would have made it suspicious of Mao Sheng."

While Qiao Mu was thinking quietly, the door of the cell suddenly opened.

This time, a dozen people appeared in front of him.

Except for a few jailers who looked familiar, several others were wearing official uniforms. They were all prison officials whom Qiao Mu had never seen a few days ago.

"With such a big battle, am I going to die in the end?" Qiao Mu said in a brisk tone.

"Can you tell me in detail, how do you plan to let me die? Where will I be executed? How about the vegetable market? There will be more people. I just like the excitement."

"...Captain Qiao was joking." The leading prison official wiped his sweat and his body became stiff.

When Qiao Mu went to prison, they only thought this man was a bit weird, but now they understand clearly.

This is a terrifyingly hard backstage, and he is completely confident. He has long been sure that he will be released.

Insulting the emperor, and even having the prefect personally order to arrest people... They couldn't even imagine how tough the backstage was.

It turns out that the two co-authors were all having a strange yin and yang with them?

The official could only smile:

"What happened this time was all a misunderstanding. Don't blame Qiao for arresting him."

Then he turned around and scolded the jailer next to him with a cold face:

"What are you doing standing still? Nothing is going to happen? Why don't you untie the chains and send Mr. Qiao out of jail?"

There was a commotion in the prison, and the other prisoners stared blankly.

Qiao Mu had tried to escape from prison before, but now he was able to get out of prison, and so many officials were flattering him?

"How come I'm not dead?" Qiao Mu sighed softly.

His sigh made these prison officials' hearts pound.

No matter how it sounds, it sounds like he is blaming them for arresting him and imprisoning him.

"Forget it, that's alright, keep stacking buffs, you can stack them up. When you get to the end, you'll have the Yonghe Imperial Capital Shark."

He wins anyway!

Although he was released from prison today, the name of Qiao Pif, the head catcher of Heyang Prefecture, must have spread throughout this city.

The death of an unknown person is very different from the death of a famous person!

Qiao Mu whispered strange words that no one understood, and amidst the farewells of the officials, he walked out of prison with a happy face.

After the jailers bid farewell to Qiao Mu and left.

The eerily quiet prison suddenly erupted into noisy discussions.

"What is the origin of this Joe Piff?"

"What he committed was insulting the emperor. Who can get him out? Who dares to get him out?"

"Is there a possibility that he is the illegitimate son of today's emperor?" Someone began to think divergently.

"Come on, at his age, maybe Emperor Yonghe is his illegitimate son..."

The prisoners took advantage of the fact that no one was watching and chatted freely.

.

Qiao Mu took a bath, changed clothes, and put on the soap clothes again. He felt much more refreshed.

Even if he received extra care from the jailer, this prison was not a suitable place to stay for a long time.

With nothing to do, Qiao Mu put on soap clothes and went to the Yamen to report again.

But as soon as he came in, Mr. Qian came up with a smile on his face.

"Congratulations to Capt. Qiao for your safe return..."

"Captain Qian has a keen ear. Did he hear the news so quickly?" Qiao Mu said casually.

As soon as these words came out, Qian Baotou's smiling face suddenly fell:

"Don't be surprised if Qiao arrests the head. I have a sixty-year-old father and a young daughter at home who is waiting to be fed..."

"Stop it, don't mention this anymore." Qiao Mu actually didn't mind that Captor Qian had arrested him before.

After all, if there were more people like this, he could die more efficiently.

Qian Captou's smile became even more ugly.

"Captain Qiao, let's go to Wangyue Tower later to take care of you? It's my treat." He said with a bit of pain.
