Since ancient times, Youzhou City has been a major military city and commercial center in the north of the Central Plains dynasty, and is one of the most prosperous cities in the entire northern border. Two hundred miles away is the border line. Youzhou City is like Suzhou City in the northwest corner of the map, and the folk customs are rough.

After the founding of Dayue, the Liaoxi Protectorate was established in the Liaoxi County of Youzhou, and the emperor controlled the military power. He is currently the founding general Wang Yu Changsun Wang Chenghai as the governor, and the governor of Youzhou is Zhang Boyan, who was born in the Zhang family in Taiyuan.

It is already the end of the twelfth lunar month, and most of the wanderers outside have returned home. The city of Youzhou is calm and full of New Year atmosphere. The guards are also cleaning the houses and courtyards in the east of the city to prepare for the New Year.

In the yamen's convention hall, the governor Zhang Boyan was wearing an official, holding a teacup in his hand, and listening to the conversation of several officials, his expression was obviously not very good-looking.

As the governor of a state, he is also a vassal official. Youzhou has no vassal kings. It can be said that except for the chief officer of the Liaoxi Protectorate and the Cui family, Zhang Boyan is the biggest.

However, Zhang Boyan was obviously in a bad mood today.

In the conference hall, Song Ying and Langwei subordinates, the local captain arranged an errand, and said three words to "Crown Prince Su". Zhang Boyan felt a lot of heart.

Who is Prince Su? Da Yue's only son of a king of different surname, 200,000 Xiliang Army squatted on the other side of Da Yue. His reputation for founding the country was now well known. Even the Northern Qi opposite was frightened, let alone him as a little governor.

A few days ago, when I heard something happened in the Tang family, Zhang Boyan asked Gods and Buddhas to be the turtle of his head, and did not look at it, listen or speak, just hoped not to get the matter on him. As a result, it was good. In just a few days, Lord Song from the Investigation Department came to him.

Who is Song Ying? There is only one constable, but there are no two serious officials, but they are the emperor's eyes and mouthpieces, and they have countless secret spies from north to south. They even dare to investigate the private affairs of the vassal kings, let alone a little governor.

Neither side could afford to offend Zhang Boyan, but he could not avoid it.

The Investigation Department is a yamen under the Ministry of Justice and does not hold military power. Even if Song Ying is a confidant of the emperor, he will not be able to mobilize the border troops. If he wants to do things, he can only find Zhang Boyan, the governor who is in charge of Youzhou's military and political affairs.

It's better to ask for someone, Zhang Boyan pretended to be deaf and dumb, but now Song Ying directly detained a girl and was imprisoned in the prison in Youzhou City. The girl is said to be the mistress of Prince Su and was arrested in the name of the Youzhou government, on the grounds that she had not taken the road to enter the country without authorization.

My God, if Prince Su knows this, let alone the career of the officialdom, it is a question whether he can save his life!

Zhang Boyan is definitely not stupid to be able to be the governor of a state. It is obvious that this is a fatal note. After thinking about it, he still spoke:

"Mr. Song, that girl cannot be caught. Lu Yin is not taken in Youzhou, and the government has never investigated it. If King Su knows that the person who detains Prince Su, I will hand him a memorial to the emperor and I can go to Luliang Mountain to be the magistrate. Aren't you making things difficult for me?"

The chief officer of the Investigation Department and the Emperor gave him a gold medal. He was basically the first-level official, so Zhang Boyan was not good at talking too much.

When Song Ying learned about Bodhi Island, she knew the importance of this matter. After the emperor knew about it, he must have detained Xu Buling as soon as possible, so it was not considered his own decision. Seeing that Zhang Boyan was worried, Song Ying spoke casually:

"Mr. Zhang, don't worry. Song has asked the emperor for instructions. The imperial edict is sent over for 800 miles and will arrive soon. Please also ask Lord Zhang to mobilize the people below, and don't neglect your duties and let Prince Su go..."

The teacup on Zhang Boyan's hand shook: "Mr. Song, it's okay if you ask Prince Su to come over, but you are still going to detain Prince Su? Do you think the Xiliang army has not come out for a long time and want to find an excuse for them? If so, I suggest you go to Guanzhong to do whatever you want, and don't come to attract evil stars..."

"King Su is more than two thousand miles away, but he can't get through."

"Hey-Mr. Song, have you seen the map? King Su went to Northern Qi and came from the north of the desert. Do you think he had to go around from Guanzhong Road?"

The jade seal is of great importance, and only the chief of the investigation department knows it. Song Ying cannot explain to Zhang Boyan, so he raised his hand and said:

"This matter is of great importance. When the emperor's imperial edict arrives, Lord Zhang only needs to act according to the imperial order..."

Zhang Boyan put down the teacup and spread his hands: "But now that the imperial edict has not arrived, Lord Song, come here and show me a sign and let me arrest the son of the vassal king. What kind of morality is it? Go and give Jingzhao Yin a sign and ask him to arrest the prince. Do you think he is obedient? I didn't arrest you, Lord Song, for the sake of the investigation department..."

Song Ying heard the complaining, but couldn't respond, so she stood up: "Mr. Zhang, you'd better follow what I said, otherwise the emperor will take off your official hat and the Taiyuan Wang family will not be able to protect you."

"Hey-"

Zhang Boyan slapped the table and wanted to say a few words, but Song Ying had already left the chamber. He held it in for a while. After all, the emperor was bigger than King Su, so he could only raise his hand:

"Go and go, check the checkpoints along the way. When you find Prince Su, please come back immediately. Remember to ask, who is the mother who is cut off with a knife? Don't come to me and cry afterwards..."

Behind the yamen, Youzhou City Prison.

The local ecstasy in Youzhou is very powerful, and murder and robbery are common. As a capital of Youzhou City, the prisons are basically all dead prisoners who kill and set fire, and ordinary thieves who are cheated cannot enter.

Most of the people who can be locked up here are capable people. In order to prevent robbery, things happen in the prison escape. The railings of the prison cells are made of iron, and the walls are three meters high. There are two battalions of soldiers on duty outside, just like a small fortress.

Zhongli Chuchu is imprisoned here, obviously Song Ying was worried that Xu Buling would rob the prison with his powerful ability.

The light of day was no longer visible in the dark prison. The prisoner with heavy shackles was lying behind the cell. He knew that the next time he saw the sun, he might be beheaded, and he could not escape. He had given up hope and did not even shout for justice.

Deep in the narrow and long prison corridor, the cell used to detain masters was inlaid with two fingers thick iron plates on all sides, and even the ground was no exception. The cell was originally empty, so that it would not be used by the masters as weapons to kill people. However, at this time, the new bed, small table, melon seeds and snacks, bedding and blankets were all new, and there was even a dressing table.

Such luxurious treatment may be the first time since the construction of the prison, but these things obviously cannot comfort the imprisoned people.

At the door of the cell, Zhongli Chuchu was wearing a big red dress, with a look-like vest, and with her toes, looking out from the small mouth as big as a palm, looking out to the walkway outside, shouting:

"Let me out! Do you know who I am? Xu Buling is me...my lover. If you arrest me and let him know, you will be dead..."

The jailers sitting outside the passage pretended to be deaf and dumb and dared not respond. The guard was Daokui Situ Yuejin, who held the Nine-ring Dao and kept paying attention to the surrounding area to prevent Xu Buling from suddenly killing and robbing people.

"Hey! Is anyone?! I'm serious, I really like Xu Buling..."

After Zhongli Chuchu slapped the iron gate and shouted for a long time without responding, her green eyes were obviously scared. She was born in the Western Regions and her skin was whiter, and she became even whiter at this time, and her shoulders were trembling constantly.

After leaving Huainan, Zhongli Chuchu rode his white camel and wanted to rush to Youzhou and Xu Buling. However, although the camel was extremely endurance and could travel for a long distance, her speed was much worse than that of Pegasus. She walked north and couldn't take a boat downstream. It was already two days ago when she ran to Youzhou.

Zhongli Chuchu has been in the world for two years. She knows the rules and rules, but she has never made any mistakes. But this time she hasn't done anything and is blocked by the wolf guards. She originally wanted to escape by locking the dragon Gu, but the person who came to know her methods clearly and directly took out a crossbow from a distance.

Zhongli Chuchu is also a man from the martial arts world. She must be afraid of these black Wuchang, so she could only grit her teeth and report Xu Buling's name, hoping to escape with the power of King Su. But these wolves were really unreasonable, and they didn't even give her the face, so they took her here and locked up, without even a reason.

"The people of Central Plains are indeed unreasonable..."

Zhongli Chuchu slapped the door a few times. After seeing no response, she sat back on the bed tensely, pursing her lips and wondering what to do. Everyone in the martial arts world knows that if you are caught, you basically don’t go out alive, so you will be called the Hall of Hell.

She is a native of Dayue and can still reason with the government, but as a native of Nanyue, for Dayue's government, she is a black household. No one will make a decision for her if she is arrested and sold. She is now the only eight-minded person in Dayue. She should be worth a lot of money, but she must have been targeted by someone...

Thinking of this, Zhongli Chuchu was even more panicked and stood up and slapped the iron gate: "I'm serious! I'm Xu Buling's woman. He asked me to be the concubine of King Su. If you dare to arrest me, he will definitely lead troops to fight..."

"girl!"

As soon as he shouted a few words, Song Ying appeared outside the small window, which scared Zhongli Chuchu and shut up and dared not speak.

Song Ying stood outside the cell with her hands behind her back, her attitude was quite gentle:

"Girl, don't worry. Prince Xu will come over soon and wait patiently for two days."

Zhongli Chuchu had never seen Song Ying, but when he saw this wolf guard knowing Xu Buling, his green eyes showed a little annoyed:

"Do you know my relationship with Xu Buling, and you dare to arrest me? If you let him know, you will be dead..."

Song Ying chuckled and signaled to the Iron Cell: "I am doing things for the court. If I die, I will die on duty. It will not cost the girl any worries. In two days, Prince Xu will be able to accompany the girl here. He should be alone for a long time. If you have anything to do, just say hello at any time."

Zhongli Chuchu was stunned, and after thinking for a while, he understood what this said:

"You actually want to arrest Xu Buling? You want to rebel but you can't..."

Speaking of this, Zhongli Chuchu suddenly understood the purpose of her being detained, to lure Xu Buling over as bait!

When Zhongli Chuchu thought of this, she felt panicked and said anxiously:

"Xu Buling has nothing to do with me. I was just talking and playing. He couldn't come to me. You caught the wrong person..."

"You just said that Prince Xu wanted to choose you as your concubine."

"I'm talking nonsense. Xu Buling and I met by chance. I just met him. It's impossible to come and pick me up..."

While he was talking, a wolf guard suddenly ran in from outside and said in a little panic:

"Mr. Song, is Prince Xu here?"

"ah?"

"Um?"

Two sounds appeared at the same time.

Zhongli Chuchu was stunned. He was surprised first, then a little panicked, and said angrily:

"You are so bold. If you dare to attack Xu Buling, I...I will die here. Let's see how you end..."

Song Ying didn't expect Xu Buling to appear so soon, and immediately walked out quickly.
Chapter completed!
