Seeing King De nodding, Qi Fu winked at a few guards, and everyone walked into a restaurant on the roadside.

After entering, Qi Fu ordered a few dishes, but did not ask for wine.

The guards didn't want to sit down and eat together, but King De meant that since he was visiting privately incognito, everything had to be simple. If there were so many rules, it would definitely arouse others' suspicion.

"Eat quickly, we still have to accompany the young master on his way after eating!" Qi Fu said deliberately.

When the guards saw this, they sat down as instructed.

After having a simple meal and resting for a while, King De and his party left the restaurant. During the meal, they discussed it. After the meal, they were going to visit the Guan family.

Since the Guan family is Chi Zhongtian's influence and is inextricably linked to the murder of Luzhou City officials, they must go and take a look.

In fact, at this time, apart from Qiu Chan and Feng Poshan, there was no one else in the Guan family.

Wu Yang was busy helping people deliver goods. Since this incident, the Guan family's delivery business has also been delayed for a few days. Every day delayed, a lot of money was lost in vain, so Chi Zhongtian made a prompt decision

, let Wu Yang clean up this stall first.

According to Chi Zhongtian's idea, he wants to make the Zhongtian Escort Bureau in Shezhou and the Guan family here become a separate company. In this way, the business will become bigger and bigger.

But this is just a temporary idea, because there are still a lot of troubles in front of me.

For example, right now, Chi Zhongtian is at the prefect's Yamen, undergoing interrogation.

Guan Ziyu has not come back since he was taken away by people from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple. Chi Zhongtian inquired several times and said that the case was not clearly investigated and he could not be released. However, in order to take care of Chi Zhongtian's face, Ge Hui still moved.

After some tricks, Guan Ziyu was not allowed to stay in the prison, but in a room in the backyard of the magistrate's office. A few guards were pretending to be guarded outside, which could be regarded as an explanation to the officials of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple.

Chi Zhongtian went to Ge Hui several times to ask if Guan Ziyu could be released first, but Ge Hui's words made Chi Zhongtian give up the idea.

"Now this case has been investigated by the emperor himself. Let alone a small prefect, even the largest official in the court would not dare to make the decision without authorization."

Originally, a matter that had nothing to do with Guan Ziyu was now involved with the emperor. It's no wonder that Chi Zhongtian's face didn't work.

No, just today, officials from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment suddenly sent Ge Hui to call Chi Zhongtian for questioning. Chi Zhongtian didn't want to come at first, but Ge Hui told him that the imperial edict had already stated that anyone related to this case

The people must fully cooperate with the investigation, otherwise they will be killed without mercy and the nine tribes will be annihilated.

Chi Zhongtian was not an unreasonable person. He understood that now was not the time for him to show off his temper, so he had no choice but to come to the prefect's Yamen honestly and accept questioning.

In the courtroom, officials from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple were sitting on both sides. Sitting in the middle was Ge Hui, who had now officially become the prefect of Luzhou City.

People from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple knew Chi Zhongtian and his background, so they did not make things difficult for him. Not only did they not ask him to kneel down, they also moved him a chair for him to sit aside. As a result, this world

A rare scene of a court trial just happened.

"Chi Zhongtian, tell me now why you came to Luzhou." The official of Dali Temple asked majestically.

Chi Zhongtian glanced at the master next to him who was busy writing and knew that every word he said would be firmly recorded in the book. Therefore, he must not talk nonsense and every word must be carefully considered.

"The Guan family in Luzhou City is my power. I'm here to see if they have any trouble. There are a lot of troubles in the world, especially in the Sichuan area, which has never been peaceful." Chi Zhongtian replied.

"Besides this, is there any other reason?" the Dali Temple official then asked.

"No." Chi Zhongtian replied.

"Okay, then I will ask you again, whether you were in Luzhou when the former prefect of Luzhou City, Pang Yongqing, and the general of the Luzhou City Patrol Battalion, Zhan Cun, were killed." The Dali Temple official asked again.

Chi Zhongtian shook his head and said, "No."

"You have to tell the truth."

Chi Zhongtian smiled slightly, and then said firmly: "Absolutely not."

"After those two adults were killed, you appeared in Luzhou City, right?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I'm done asking."

After the official from Dali Temple asked this question, he nodded to the official from the Ministry of Punishment opposite, indicating that he could ask.

"Chi Zhongtian, I want to ask you, the Governor of the Sichuan-Shaanxi Governor's Mansion once came to Luzhou to handle a case. It is said that you have met him, right?" asked the official of the Ministry of Punishment.

"Exactly, I have met the Governor." Chi Zhongtian replied.

"According to Mr. Ge, Guan Ziyu was originally taken to the Yamen at that time, but after the Governor met you, he chatted with you for a few words and then released Guan Ziyu. I want to know whether you bribed the Governor.

Or is it because the Governor knows your identity and is bending the law for personal gain?" the official from the Ministry of Justice asked in a sharp tone.

When Chi Zhongtian heard this, he took a breath. He knew that the official from the Ministry of Justice had definitely been thinking about what he asked for a long time. Every sentence was the key to the key, and there was no way to answer it wrong.

If it is the truth, then the governor does have that intention. Maybe he is afraid of Chi Zhongtian's identity, or maybe he wants to please him. Maybe, maybe the governor admires his feats in southern Xinjiang. Anyway, in the end,

Guan Ziyu was released. But Chi Zhongtian felt that he couldn't say that. Although the Governor was dead, he still didn't want to ruin his reputation after his death, so he thought about it and said:

"No, I, Chi Zhongtian, have never bribed any official in the DPRK. As for the governor, he let Guan Ziyu go, simply because I had strong evidence to convince him, and I also personally wrote a document with my

My wealth and life guarantee that Guan Ziyu will not be the murderer, and I have already arrested an accomplice here, and I have handed over the accomplice's testimony to an adult. In the face of these conclusive evidences, the Governor will naturally let Guan Ziyu go."

Having said this, the official from the Ministry of Punishment glanced at Ge Hui, and then asked: "Where is the document?"

"I have never seen the document that Chi Zhongtian mentioned, so I don't know about it. However, Chi Zhongtian did give a confession of the accomplice before, and I have handed over the confession and the accomplice together.
