Daming King of Punishment

"How dare you say that nothing happened?" Bai Zhuo immediately became angry when he heard this. "Nothing happened, tell me where did this person go? What did the yamen servants do? Where is the magistrate?"

The master looked flustered, and was terrified by Bai Zhuo's angry shout, his legs softened and he knelt on the ground.

"My lord, nothing really happened. The magistrate, he... he took the yamen servants out for business." The master responded nervously to Bai Zhuo.

Unexpectedly, this master would hide the two of them at this time.

Song Wuya frowned, looked into his eyes, and pondered in his heart.Could it be that this master knew what happened, so he deliberately concealed it from the two of them.

But no matter what, since he got the news that the magistrate had disappeared, Song Wuya naturally couldn't ignore it.

He didn't twist it, and said in a deep voice: "But is there really nothing wrong? If something happens later, I will ask you for it! Do you know what the crime is for defrauding an imperial envoy?"

As soon as this crime was mentioned, the master was completely panicked, sweating from nervousness.

"Master Imperial Envoy, don't blame him. To put it bluntly, Mr. Prefect is missing!"

The master, who did not want to be charged with crimes, finally told the truth, the magistrate really disappeared.

"When did you find out that the magistrate was missing?" Since the master opened his mouth, Song Wuya continued to ask.

He and Bai Zhuo found a place to sit down, raised their fingers to another chair, and motioned for the master to sit down and talk.

After the master sat down tremblingly, he began to seriously answer Song Wuya's question: "Early this morning, I saw that the magistrate who was supposed to come to the yamen on time did not show up, so I went to the backyard to look for it. Return, I know that I have never come back now."

"Isn't it just that he didn't come back all night! How can we conclude that he is missing?" Bai Zhuo couldn't understand after hearing this.

After all, the dignified magistrate of the prefecture just didn't come back all night, so he directly said that he was missing.

After all, the magistrate is also an adult, not a child, so it is reasonable for him not to return home at night.But it was a little surprising that the Yamen made such a big move in this one night.

The master answered Bai Zhuo's doubts: "The imperial envoy doesn't know something! The magistrate always comes to the yamen on time. And since the magistrate was transferred to Yingtian Mansion, although there are cases of staying overnight, he is not late. Of course, this is nothing. Before this, the magistrate once told the villain that if one day he did not come to the court on time, something big must happen."

"You mean that the magistrate has explained this to you before?" Song Wuya was even more surprised.

No matter who happens to such a thing, it is a miracle.After all, it's not that a person is well-behaved because he has some serious illness, and he wants to leave a last word when he is dying, so how can he say such things without incident.

Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo had been slightly suspicious of the magistrate, but he said such a thing before, which made them even more curious about what kind of person this magistrate is.

The prefect, who only met twice yesterday briefly, did not leave any deep impression on the two of them.But the words at this moment let the two of them know that this magistrate is definitely not easy.Since he said such a thing, it must have been expected before, what kind of danger he would encounter.

"It is true that there was such an explanation, and I have always kept it in my heart. Today, I saw that the magistrate was gone, and I immediately felt something was wrong. If it wasn't because of this, I wouldn't care about this matter." The master was nervous. Speaking of.

"So that's it!" After understanding what was going on, Song Wuya nodded: "Then where did you ask the yamen servants to look for it?"

"Everywhere in Yingtian Mansion, taverns and the like!" The master said immediately.

"Don't forget the brothel!" Bai Zhuo reminded from the side.

The master looked at Bai Zhuo with some embarrassment and said, "Master Zhifu, he never went to that kind of place in the past!"

"That's not necessarily the case." Bai Zhuo said angrily.

Just as he was talking, the yamen servant who went out to look for it came back panting.

"Reporting to the master, I didn't find the lord!"

Hearing this, the master became nervous.Bai Zhuo at the side said solemnly: "Where did you all look for?"

"Looked for various inns and taverns in the city." The yamen servant looked up and saw the two people, he seemed not to know them, he was puzzled for a moment before he said.

"Go to the brothels in the city immediately and look for it!" After hearing this, Bai Zhuo ordered the yamen servant without hesitation.

Hearing this, the yamen servant looked up at the master.

"Your Imperial Envoy told you to go, you should go quickly!" The master also saw it and shouted hastily.

"Yes, yes, yes!" The yamen servant quickly responded, and hurriedly ran to the door.

After watching the yamen servants leave, Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo looked at the master with doubts in their hearts.

After all, it seemed strange to them that the magistrate suddenly disappeared.Originally, they wanted to come and discover something about the magistrate, but now that such a situation suddenly appeared, they were a little caught off guard.

"Do you, Lord Prefect, have any friends in this Yingtian Mansion?" Song Wuya asked the master about the prefect's situation.

The master immediately shook his head after hearing this: "The humble official didn't notice that the magistrate has any friends on weekdays. The magistrate seldom goes out in the past. I'm afraid he didn't make friends with the people in the city."

"Is this unlikely? If he is transferred here, it is impossible for him to have no acquaintances for such a long time. Even if he does not get to know others, there will naturally be other people to curry favor with him! How is it possible that even one person he knows There is no one here?" Song Wuya didn't believe this, after all, he was in an important position, and many people in Yingtian Mansion wanted to make friends with the magistrate.

Even after he said that, the master still shook his head.

Bai Zhuo looked anxiously from the side: "Could it be that since your magistrate came to Yingtian Mansion, you just stayed in the prefect's yamen and never went out?"

"This..." Master suddenly hesitated.

Seeing his hesitation, Bai Zhuo went on to say: "Just now you said that the prefect of your prefect used to stay away at night, do you know where he went at those times?"

"This..." Master's reaction was exactly the same as before, with an unnatural expression on his face.

Such a performance can be seen by everyone, and there must be something wrong with it.Song Wuya looked at the master solemnly, waiting for what he would say next.

Bai Zhuo's question is very critical, and this is probably where the problem lies.

But this master hesitated and couldn't open his mouth, and he didn't know that there was something difficult to say that made him unable to speak out.

Chapter 27

?Chapter one thousand and twenty-seven good friends

"What do you want to say!" Seeing that the master was holding back something, Bai Zhuo asked eagerly.

The master still hesitated, seeing the eager look on Bai Zhuo's face, he finally sighed and said: "Hey! The magistrate has a good friend."

"Is there a lover? Then what are you waiting for, send someone to look for it!" Bai Zhuo yelled angrily.

He made this master very angry. At what time, this master is still so hesitant.

But Song Wuya can understand this master, after all, this matter is not something glorious.Moreover, he is still a dignified prefect, so he must be worried that after he said this, he will blame him when the prefect returns.What's more, he was still talking to the two imperial envoys. Wouldn't this be discrediting their magistrates?

Bai Zhuo was anxious, and the master was even more anxious, and said with a distressed face: "Lord Bai, the humble official only knows about this matter, and I don't know exactly where the magistrate's acquaintance is!"

"Hey!" Bai Zhuo was furious.

"Brother Bai, be safe and don't be impatient. Anyway, this is a clue. Let's wait here patiently. I'm afraid the magistrate drank too much wine before the affair last night, and he hasn't woken up yet!" Song Wu Ya said with a smile.

He understood this point, after all, the magistrate is also a human being, and he is also a normal man.Ordinary people also have three wives and four concubines. He is a majestic magistrate, probably because of his own official career, so he didn't dare to mess around.

"Huh!" Bai Zhuo let out a heavy breath: "Brother Wu Ya, you said they did this thing. Since they knew that the prefect had a good friend, they didn't say it until this time. You said we were all in such a hurry just now He's still hiding it from the two of us! I think he should be charged with a crime!"
