Chapter 130: Release from Prison
Since he had confessed everything, Song Qi's fear was not as strong as it was at the beginning.
On the contrary, because he had confessed, he felt relieved.
He looked up at Shen Li, "I have already told Lord Shen, can you please help me?"
Shen Li ignored him.
Song Qi said, "When I left Beijing, the Duke of Zhenguo sent my family to the hot springs in his West Mountain Villa. It was called care, but it was actually kidnapping. Now I have confessed Su Ke's hiding place. Can you help me rescue my family?"
Shen Li stroked his fingers and said slowly, "Of course I can, but what's the benefit of me doing this?"
Shen Li said so, and Song Qi immediately felt a huge hope in his heart.
"All my wealth will be given to you, sir."
Shen Li nodded, "Okay. As long as your family is still alive when I return to Beijing, I will ensure that they leave the hands of the Duke of Zhenguo safely."
Song Qi stood up and kowtowed to Shen Li, "Thank you, sir."
At this moment, he even felt that this shadow leader was not as scary as the rumors said.
"Then sir, what are your crimes?"
Shen Li smiled, "Your crime, whether it is big or small, depends on how you cooperate. The greater your value, the smaller your crime. Even, I can let you go without guilt, depending on whether you are worth the price."
There is only a difference between not surrendering and surrendering completely.
Just like cheating and domestic violence.
Either zero times.
Or countless times.
Song Qi didn't even struggle, and told everything he knew about the Duke of Zhenguo.
Of course, he got the corresponding rewards for what he said.
Shen Li allowed him to eat the pot in front of him, and even poured wine for him.
The moment the mutton entered his mouth, Song Qi felt like he was alive again.
He even wondered if he could do something for Shen Li, and he could be considered Shen Li's man.
Although he had offended the Duke of Zhenguo, he had found his shadow.
Maybe he would have a better career in the future.
That was the legendary blessing in disguise.
However, the facts proved that he was still too naive.
Shen Li fed him a full meal, and then asked the owner of Qingfeng Restaurant to lock him up in the secret room of the restaurant.
The owner of the restaurant locked Song Qi up and returned to the room where Shen Li was.
"Sir, how do you deal with this man?"
"After Su Ke is captured, secretly send him back to Kyoto with Su Ke, and let Gao Li interrogate him personally. Don't let any news leak out. Interrogate him in the secret room of Xishan Villa."
"Yes."
The shopkeeper took the order. Seeing that Shen Li had no other instructions and that he looked tired, he said, "Sir, I'll wait for you. Can you take a rest first?"
Shen Li shook his head gently without speaking. He rested one hand on the table, rubbed his eyebrows with his fingers, and closed his eyes slightly.
Seeing that he closed his eyes, the shopkeeper didn't say anything more. He just stood quietly on one side and waited for the result of catching Su Ke with Shen Li.
Time passed, and it seemed to pass particularly slowly at this moment.
Although they were a surprise attack, Su Ke was the son of the Duke of Zhenguo after all, and he must have many experts around him.
As Su Ke's resting place, Wangji Grain Shop must have been guarded by secret stakes and open guards.
Their chances of winning this sudden attack were not 100%
Moreover, if the arrest fails or causes too much noise, Shen Li's whereabouts are likely to be exposed.
Shen Li's whereabouts are top secret whether he is in Pingzhou or here.
In Kyoto, except for His Majesty, everyone just thinks he is still in Kyoto.
The hourglass leaks fine sand, and time passes little by little.
Until the sky turns pale, the dark night gradually brightens with lead gray, and there is finally movement outside.
"Sir, he is caught."
Li Yi rushed in and reported with a fist.
"All the other guards were annihilated, and we were seriously injured. Seven people were slightly injured. All of them were slightly injured, but they all came back."
The brief report contained so much swordplay and life and death.
Shen Li nodded, stood up and said to the shopkeeper of Qingfeng Restaurant: "Send the people away and take good care of the wounded."
After speaking, he walked out.
The shopkeeper followed behind him, "Sir, do you want breakfast?"
Shen Li raised his hand and turned his back to the shopkeeper, "No, just do your job."
After a pause, Shen Li added, "The wounded need to be nourished to recover, so there is no need to save money for me."
"Yes."
Leaving Qingfeng Restaurant, Shen Li rode his horse straight to Qinghe County.
After a night of bloody storms, the next morning, the sky was bright and it was still a prosperous world.
When Zhou Qing returned to the county yesterday, it was already mid-afternoon. The county magistrate fainted because of tutoring his children, so Zhou Qing did not immediately pull Zhou Huaishan out of jail.
This morning.
In Qinghe County, the crowd surged and the sky was in an uproar.
A group of dandies headed by Zhao Dacheng held banners, beat gongs and drums, and walked at the front of the crowd.
On the banner, there were a few big words: Zhou Huaishan, an innocent man in the world.
Zhou Qing, who was standing in front of the county government waiting to pick up Zhou Huaishan, saw these words and his eyes twitched.
What the hell, innocent in the world.
Zhou Huailin had already prepared 26 strings of firecrackers and placed them in front of the county government.
At the moment when the county magistrate announced Zhou Huaishan's innocence and release in public, Zhao Dacheng and his playboy friends set off the 26 strings at the same time.
Immediately, there was a crackling explosion.
That scene.
The gongs and drums were loud, the firecrackers were blasting, the colorful flags were flying, and the crowds were huge.
Zhou Qing never thought that her father's release from prison would cause such a big wave!
After the firecrackers rang, Zhou Huaishan was released, and along with him came half a box of books.
When the onlookers saw the half box of books, they looked at Zhou Huaishan differently.
He is worthy of our support.
He was framed and imprisoned, but he never forgot to study hard.
There should be applause here.
When Zhou Huaishan was released from prison, half of the county came to watch, and the applause was earth-shaking.
Zhou Huaishan ran to Zhou Qing in a few steps, and said to her with a smug look: "Girl, look at how popular I am, this is my personality charm!"
Before Zhou Qing could speak, a noisy voice rang out in the crowd.
"Zhou Huaishan, what do you think about being framed this time? Tell us a few words."
Zhou Huaishan immediately cleared his throat.
The lively crowd gradually quieted down.
"Sorry, I am occupying public resources for personal reasons."
As soon as Zhou Huaishan spoke, Zhou Qing almost knelt down to him.
After Zhou Huaishan finished speaking, Zhao Dacheng brought a bunch of flowers that he got from nowhere and brought them to Zhou Huaishan in the cold weather.
"Brother Shan, I'm sorry for making you suffer!"
Behind Zhou Huaishan, there were two other playboys, one holding a pomelo leaf and the other holding a fire basin.
The man placed the fire basin steadily at Zhou Huaishan's feet. Zhao Dacheng supported Zhou Huaishan's arm and said with emotion: "Brother Shan, cross this fire basin, and what awaits you is a bright future."
The voice was like a poem recitation.
The playboy holding the pomelo leaf immediately waved the pomelo leaf around Zhou Huaishan, muttering, "Exorcise evil spirits and remove bad luck, and good luck will always come."
