Although he was reluctant, the moment the door opened, Fangzhou still showed his signature smile.

His attitude toward Wang Ba was also very respectful to Zhou Zheng, exactly the way a niece-in-law should treat her uncle.

Especially behind Wang Ba is Wang Xiong, who is Fang Ark’s father-in-law.

Don't underestimate this father-in-law. Although he is only the security chief of Qingniu Town, Wang Xiong is rich and is a well-known figure in Qingniu Town, just like the local emperor.

All the financial resources of a town are in his hands. With the support of his father-in-law and Fang Ark's own abilities, he can prosper the county in just a few years.

Not only that, because of his father-in-law's continuous financial support, Fang Zhou even established a relationship with a descendant of a prominent family in Qing'an County.

"Uncle, father-in-law, why don't you go back to your house to rest? Did your son-in-law fail to entertain you well?" Fang Zhou asked humbly.

Wang Xiong didn't say anything, and Wang Ba waved his hand: "Niece-in-law, what time is it? Let's not say those polite words. I will tell the truth. If the couple of the He family doesn't die, your uncle will be in my heart."

The fire cannot be extinguished in one day, let alone sleep, I can't do anything!"

Wang Xiong nodded and agreed.

Fangzhou smiled and said, "Uncle, you don't have to worry. He has been detained in the county prison. That prison was built by a county magistrate a long time ago. It coincided with the war at that time. The prison was built so impregnably that all the county magistrates over the years also

After repairs and maintenance, not to mention the defenseless couple of the He family, even a team of brave soldiers can't even hope to break into the prison and rob someone!"

Wang Ba waved his hand again and said angrily: "I'm not afraid of them being robbed. Who dares to go to the county government to rob people? Just rely on that brat and the yellow-haired girl who ran away at that time?"

"Then uncle is upset because..."

Wang Ba stamped his foot fiercely, pointed at the ground and said loudly: "Whenever I think about my second son lying down there dead and the one named He still alive, I get very angry!"

"I want him dead, now, immediately, immediately!"

Fang Zhou's face tugged slightly, this uncle was so angry.

Even though he was the county government's chief catcher, he could be considered to have taken a life lightly, but no matter how he appeared, he still had to cover it up a little, so as not to leave any clues for those who secretly stared at him with eager eyes.

As for this uncle, the local bully, he was really brutal and brutal, killing people without blinking an eye, and he was frightening in his directness.

"Uncle, please be patient. The couple of the He family will undoubtedly die, but we are not in a hurry. We will wait until tomorrow for the trial in court to complete the necessary procedures. County Magistrate Zhou issued an order together. Then why not

Is it just a matter of two swords..."

The problem is that even if the confession of this unjust, false and wrongful case is eventually reversed, it will still be a wrongful conviction by County Magistrate Zhou, and it has nothing to do with the execution of his orders by the head catcher responsible for arresting people. How wonderful!

"No, I can't wait for a moment!" Wang Ba stamped his feet again, yelling and ending Fang Zhou's words.

Wang Xiong put his hands in front of him, tilted his head and squinted his eyes and said slowly: "Well, I'm afraid of long nights and dreams if I wait and wait. I'm going to die anyway, early or late. It's better to follow your uncle's wishes."

Fang Zhou felt embarrassed, but still maintained a humble and friendly smile on his face.

His wife stood aside, watching the two sides seem to be about to fall into a stalemate, so she came out to smooth things over: "Uncle, you don't know something. Although Fang Zhou is a head catcher, he is also highly regarded by Zhou County Magistrate, but after all, he is not the one in this county.

One person has the final say, and there are also the county magistrate and others. They are jealous of our young and promising Fang Zhou, so they want to find his faults and pull him down... So there are some things that we can't rush too hastily..."

Wang Ba glared at his niece fiercely, thinking about men's affairs. Why do you, a woman, have to talk so much?

If this were his daughter-in-law and daughter, he would have slapped her down by now, but in front of Wang Xiong and Fang Zhou, Wang Ba held back.

He turned his angry gaze back to Fang Zhou, "Don't worry, niece-in-law, my uncle won't let you take this risk in vain. Twenty taels of silver, plus ten acres of fertile land in Tianba Village, are all for you!"

Wang Ba took out two pieces of paper from his body and stuffed them into Fang Zhou's hand. One was a banknote and the other was a land deed.

Fangzhou looked at the things in his hands with a troubled expression.

"Uncle, you..."

"Isn't that enough? I'll add another twenty taels of silver to buy that man's life. Don't kill the woman. I'll buy her into Goulan Courtyard. I'm going to make her life worse than death!"

Wang Ba proudly took another silver note and placed it in Fang Zhou's hand.

Forty taels of silver plus ten acres of fertile land was a huge temptation in the eyes of any policeman in Donglin County.

But Ark was different. Although he was moved, his eyes saw higher and farther.

What he wants is much more than these things.

He shook his head and put the things back into Wang Ba's hands.

"Uncle, you are out of sight, and your son-in-law is in trouble."

"My son-in-law has a plan that will not only relieve my uncle's anger, but also allow He to be sentenced to death. Even if the case is reopened by people with ulterior motives in the future, this blame will not be thrown away.

On top of us, uncle, what do you think?"

"What's the solution? Come and tell me!"

…

It was already late at night, and in front of the impregnable Donglin County prison door, two jailers were sitting in a small room behind the door, taking a nap.

It's late autumn, and it's refreshingly cool after dark, especially in a place like Dalao where there's no daylight.

So a charcoal brazier was placed in front of the two warders, and the fire was burning brightly. On the small table next to it were scattered bowls and chopsticks, peanuts were scattered everywhere, and the wine pot was overturned on the ground.

Accompanied by the thunderous snoring of the two jailers, the heavy iron door and the copper ring of the prison banged loudly.

One of the jailers was awakened, cursed a few times, and staggered to the back of the iron door. He opened a palm-sized hole in the door and took a look outside. When he saw the people standing outside in the night, the jailer suddenly felt sleepy.

When he was mostly awake, he kicked his companion to wake him up and hurriedly opened the iron door. He nodded and bowed and walked towards the person leading the door.

"Master Fang, why do you come to a place like this so late?"

Fang Zhou glanced at the jailer majestically, "Why is there so much nonsense? Where are the middle-aged couples who were imprisoned this morning?"

The warder was so frightened that he quickly bent down and lowered his head, "In the innermost part, the little one will lead the way..."

Fangzhou raised his hand: "No, you guys must guard the entrance tightly. The trial will be held tomorrow. If anything goes wrong, Wei'er will ask!"

"Yes Yes!"

The two jailers bowed their waists and stepped aside.

Fang Zhou entered the prison immediately, followed by two middle-aged men in their fifties. The facial features of the two men were 60 to 70% similar, but their faces were more sinister than the other.

The warder who was kicked awake by his companion was still a little dazed. When he stepped aside to avoid it, he accidentally bumped into the middle-aged man who was following Fang Zhou.

Before he could make an apology, he was slapped on the face and kicked in the stomach.

"What a dog, mother, you raise, if you don't have eyes when you walk, you dare to hit me, are you looking for death?"

The little warder was startled. Another older man following the middle-aged man took his arm and warned him in a low voice: "Brother, forget it, don't argue with these people, let's do business."
