Du Wencai quickly sent someone to deliver the file to Zhang Gao.

Du Wen realized that most of the thirty-six prisoners who were imprisoned in the cell had benefited the people before and imprisoned them.

Thinking that Zhang Gao had actually tried it personally, Du Wen felt uneasy and walked around in a hurry in the study.

"Sir, what should I do now?"

The speaker was the yamen runner who had recently replaced Ma Xiangui. Seeing Du Wencai was anxious, he couldn't help but ask carefully.

"What else can I do? For the sake of the present, I can only take one step at a time."

Du Wencai frowned and secretly felt glad in his heart. Fortunately, the prison cell was imprisoned with some civilians. Even if Zhang Gao found out that there was a grievance, he could find an excuse to make excuses.

Just as he was thinking about this, someone outside the door reported: "Sir, Lord Zhang has come to the county government office and is now in the hall."

When Du Wencai heard this, he was shocked and felt that Zhang Gao would definitely not have any good things when he came to the yamen in person, but he could only bite the bullet and greet him.

When he arrived in the hall, Du Wencai hurriedly greeted him with a smile, "The official has already sent the file. I wonder what is important to Lord Zhang coming here in person?"

"Can a woman be imprisoned in your cell recently?" Zhang Gao stood up, thought for a while, and added: "About ten days ago, I was imprisoned for theft?"

Du Wencai was stunned. He didn't expect that Zhang Gao would ask about this matter in person. He thought it was a trivial matter, so he laughed and said, "This is true. The woman was ungrateful and actually became a thief who dared to steal the money of the yamen runners. She was caught on the spot, but she refused to admit it."

Zhang Gao frowned and asked slowly: "So, is this woman really imprisoned for the crime of theft?"

"Of course," Du Wencai nodded, and then said: "There are both evidence and physical evidence. The officials have always judged cases impartially and will never be wronged by good people."

"Is that right?" Zhang Gao sneered and asked in a deep voice: "Do you know who she is?"

After Zhang Gao suddenly asked this, Du Wencai was confused and had a bad intuition in his heart, but he didn't know where the problem was.

Especially when Zhang Gaoweihan looked at him with a sarcastic look, Du Wen felt it was even more dazzling, as if he was just a clown in his eyes.

Zhang Gao snorted heavily: "Mr. Du, do you know that arbitrarily accusing the family of important officials of the court is a serious crime?"

Upon hearing this, Du Wencai was shocked and had not recovered for a long time.

After reacting, he couldn't help swallowing and stammered: "What...what does this start? The officials have been in the county for many years and have never had any important officials from the court, let alone family members? How can they frame them at will?"

"Do you still understand County Magistrate Du? The woman you were imprisoned ten days ago is the daughter of the current Dingguo Magistrate, Miss Mu Er." Zhang Gao's face was solemn.

After saying that, Du Wencai was stunned and petrified on the spot. He couldn't believe his ears. He felt that his head was covered in a mess and had stopped thinking. His legs became weak and he was almost fainting.

Fortunately, the yamen runners beside him helped him in time, so Du Wencai did not fall to the ground.

After coming back to his senses, Du Wencai felt cold sweat on his forehead and said tremblingly: "Are Mr. Zhang joking? Miss Mu Er had passed away many years ago. The woman was dressed in a cold and ugly appearance. She came into the city from the village. How could she be the daughter of the Dingguo Hou Mansion?"

"Miss Mu Er was born by the Queen of Dingguo and his original wife. She has a jade pendant given by the former emperor to testify."

Zhang Gao explained: "On that day, the maid next to her came to Shuozhou and sang in the government office. After reporting her identity, the prefect sent someone to check the jade pendant. Only then did she confirm that it was given by the former emperor Wuyu. From this identity, it can be concluded that this person is indeed Miss Mu Er."

"This is this..."

Du Wencai's back clothes were soaked in cold sweat, and he couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time. He just felt like a thunder that suddenly exploded from his head.

No matter what, I didn't expect that I would actually imprison the daughter of Ding Guohou for the crime of stealing. If Ding Guohou knew about this, I would probably not have enough ten heads to cut.

"Mr. Du, do you think that the daughter of the Dingguo Hou Mansion would steal money? He was locked in a cell and the maid around him even sued the government office. Isn't this too ridiculous?" Zhang Gao snorted coldly.

"Mr. Zhang, all this is a misunderstanding..."

Before Du Wencai finished speaking, he was interrupted mercilessly by Zhang Gao: "Misunderstanding? Those who are officials must be tried impartially so that they can live up to the court's salary. But you even arbitrarily accused people of prison. How can you afford to be a parent official in Fengxian County?"

After speaking, Du Wencai was already sweating profusely and did not dare to reply.

Then he remembered that the day Ma Xiangui brought Mu Qing to the county government. Only then did he feel sad and locked the person in prison.

Thinking of this, Du Wencai couldn't help but scold Ma Xiangui.

"After I finish reviewing the files of these thirty-six prisoners, I will question you."

After Zhang Gao finished speaking, he left with his sleeves.

Du Wencai stood still, and was so angry that his left cheek muscles were shaking when Zhang Gao said something, but there was no way. Who made the senior official to crush someone to death?

"Damn Ma Xiangui, I have been hurt by you!"

Du Wencai gritted his teeth, and when he thought of the initiator of all this, he was so angry that he jumped.

Now, Zhang Gao is already reviewing the file of 36 prisoners. If the review is completed, once he finds that most of them have been falsely accused of being imprisoned, he will definitely not be able to take it.

Furthermore, there is Miss Mu Er...

As soon as Du Wencai thought that he had locked the daughter of Dingguo Hou in a cell, he almost bit his teeth to pieces, and he wanted to peel Ma Xiangui and throw it into the river.

"It seems that this official's black hat is out of stock, and it's important to escape first."

Du Wencai frowned. For the sake of the present, he could only take advantage of Zhang Gao's discovery and escape quickly, otherwise he would definitely not be able to save his head once he was caught.

Thinking of this, Du Wencai made up his attention and immediately stood up and instructed his servants to pack up his bags; he planned to take money and run away quickly. At least the money he had earned in Fengxian County over the years was enough for him to live without worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.
