In the private room, the emperor no longer told Chen Xiao about the things that Chen Xiao himself did not realize.

Moreover, in the emperor's own opinion, Chen Xiao may not be able to be his son-in-law.

How could the royal princess of the Dragon Kingdom be so easy to marry?

How could he be so easy to be the emperor's son-in-law?

Even if Long Jiuling and Chen Xiao have a good relationship, then the emperor preconceivedly thought that Chen Xiao and Long Jiuling might be suitable, but is it really suitable?

The disparity in status lies there, and the emperor himself was also very entangled.

He may not even be able to make full decisions about his children's marriage.

Thinking of this, the emperor glanced at Chen Xiao with a meaningful look and said, "Young man, for your future, you are not enough!"

Chen Xiao curled his lips and ignored it.

Next, the emperor asked him about what happened in the government office, and Chen Xiao briefly talked about it, which made the emperor quite interested.

Shortly after this conversation, when the emperor left, he still paid 1,000 taels of silver.

Chen Xiao smiled and gave it to Long Jiuling with the silver. Long Jiuling's big eyes also made him smile like crescent moons.

That night, Chen Xiao asked Long Jiuling: "Jiuling, you said...will it be difficult for me to marry you?"

Long Jiuling nodded: "Yes, it's very difficult!"

"But I must marry you..." Chen Xiao asked.

Long Jiuling's face turned slightly red and said, "Then let yourself become powerful, powerful, no one can stop me from marrying you..."

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Okay...I will become stronger..."

Chen Xiao had a very unique relationship with the first woman he met after he arrived in this world.

With a period of time together, to be honest, the emotions in that aspect are still quite shallow.

The main reason is that she is so beautiful...

It was late at night and the two of them fell asleep.

However, at this time, the Imperial Capital Prefecture Department’s Prison Department!

The prefect looked at Li Pingzhi and said, "I will just say a few words, please open the door!"

Although Li Pingzhi was in a dilemma, he thought that this was the prefect, so he had to look at the prisoner, right?

So he took the prefect to the jail to the government office and asked someone to open the door.

"I will go in by myself!" The prefect said and went in.

Li Pingzhi also spoke: "Sir, go and go back quickly. The Promoter said that you can't let someone come in..."

The prefect's face looked ugly, thinking that when will he still have to be afraid of a referee in the government office?

However, he didn't say anything, he could only walk with his butt, limping a little, and went to prison.

When Li Pingzhi looked at him like this, he felt that his butt hurt, and at the same time he always had a bad premonition, and he felt as if his butt was about to be beaten...

The prefect entered the depths of the prison and met the detained judge Zhou Tong.

When the prefect came, Zhou Tong immediately got up, grabbed the iron railing and said:

"Sir, you're here. This time I'm a death sentence. I've also helped you take some charges. You can save me..."

The prefect sighed and said, "I can't do anything about it..."

"What? I can help you take a lot of crimes, but you... don't save me?" Draft Zhou Tong became anxious.

"It's better to die one person than to die two people, right?" said the prefect.

Punishment Zhou Tong said angrily: "You didn't plan to save me from the beginning?"

"Because, I can't save you at all. Your own sin is enough for you to die. In addition, the sin you helped me take, you will die several times. The reason why Chen Xiao did not condemn you was because he wanted to use your life to threaten me.

As long as you are still alive, you may give me aside, because I can't save you, and you will return the sins that have been punished to me again... You will even prove me... So, you must die!" The prefect spoke lightly.

The judge Zhou Tong's hands were trembling, and he said angrily:

"Okay, so you are so despicable. I thought I had helped you with all your sins and you would save me... I didn't expect..."

The prefect took a deep breath: "It's a pity for me, and I hope you can help me with all my sins. In this way, if you die, I will be completely safe and sound."

But Chen Xiao was so thief. Seeing that you were already a murderer and even helped me with the crime, he immediately stopped interrogating. So from now on, you have not sent me with the crime.

Fortunately, the remaining charges should not be big, and I might be able to withstand it myself. But Chen Xiao will find a way to ask you to return the crime you helped me to take back. If I can't save you, you will definitely betray me..."

Zhou Tongzong sneered: "That's right, yes, if you don't save me, I will definitely betray you. You wait. When he retrials, I will confess all your crimes."

"Look...you see? So, this mansion came secretly tonight!" said the prefect.

Zhou Tongzong was puzzled: "So what if you come? If you don't save me, I will definitely betray you!"

"Haha... I'm here, you can't betray me, because you can't see him Chen Xiao again..." The prefect said, and suddenly pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed him in the heart at Judge Zhou Tong in the iron railing.

With a sneer, Zhou Tongzong stared at the prefect with a wide eyes, looking at the prefect with disbelief, and finally... slowly fell down...

The prefect let go of his hand, left the dagger on Zhou Tongzong, then turned around and left...

...

the next day!

Chen Xiao took Long Jiuling and headed towards the yamen without any haste.

Long Jiuling was bored in the restaurant every day, so he simply went to the yamen to accompany Chen Xiao.

When we arrived at the yamen and entered the prison hall, we saw Li Pingzhi and several prison guards who were guarding the prison, all kneeling on the ground.

Chen Xiao frowned and said lightly: "What's going on?"

Li Pingzhi hurriedly said: "Master... Sir, the official is guilty... Last night... Zhou Tong died in prison..."

Li Pingzhi regretted it at this time. He had known that why should he have to be the first of them today? If he knew that Zhou Tong would die, he would have given him a hundred courage and would not dare to let the prefect enter.

Although there is no evidence, he still can't guess that Parliament Zhou Tong was killed by the prefect?

Chen Xiao's face changed at this moment and he asked in a deep voice: "What's going on?"

Li Pingzhi then said what happened last night and finally added: "The officials are not sure whether the judge Zhou Tong was killed by the prefect..."

"Damn it, a trash!" Chen Xiao scolded angrily.

Li Pingzhi knelt down, lowered his head, and did not dare to breathe.

Chen Xiao looked at Li Pingzhi on the ground and said furiously: "Li Pingzhi, Li Pingzhi, since the day you took office, I have repeatedly told you to supervise your prison.

Although you and I have some personal grudges, I have never made things difficult for you in terms of official duties, and I have never treated you as your boss because I am your boss.

On weekdays, you plan to deal with me with the prefectural admiral, so I can’t forget it. But in official business, you should perform your duties and dare to make big mistakes?

You opened a prison for the prefect, but the prefect, however, disregarded your responsibility for your own interests. Now that you are in such a situation, do you think it is worth it?"

Li Pingzhi's face was pale and bowed to the ground: "The subordinate official knew his mistake and asked the emperor to punish him..."

Chen Xiao took a deep breath: "Come on, pull down and hit the top ten boards!"
