Li Xing frowned, obviously lost in thought. After a moment of silence, he said, "Are you sure?"
Pi Kefeng paused and said: "Master Qi, there is a saying among immortals that the body and Tao disappear after death. When a person dies, there is nothing. In fact, the same is true for immortals. Moreover, the art of changing skin is very useful for immortals.
It’s not a spell that’s too difficult to crack.”
"So that's it." Li Xing nodded: "Are you ready to go down?"
"oh."
Pi Kefeng stood up from the ground and asked curiously: "Sir, why are you asking these questions?"
"I have to explain to you what I am doing. Someone, come and take him down."
"You see, I am very cooperative. Sir, can you give me a lighter sentence? My crime should not lead to death..."
Before Pi Kefeng could say anything, he was taken away by Zhao Lei and thrown into the cell again.
Back in the dirty and ugly cell, Pi Kefeng was still frowning and thinking.
"Boss, what did the county magistrate ask you to do?" Pi Kefeng's men came over and asked.
"It's nothing. He just asked me about the skin-changing technique."
Bahur, who was in the cell next to him, was shocked when he heard the words "skin-changing technique". There was no reaction on his face, but he quietly pricked up his ears.
"Boss, you still know how to change your skin?" Pik Feng's subordinates praised.
"Sigh... How could I understand that kind of magical skill? I'm just an ordinary person."
Pi Kefeng spread his hands and said: "I just told him that killing people can break the skin-changing technique. I don't know why he asked me this."
Bahur was shocked. What else could he do? He was afraid that Li Xing had already murderous intentions towards him.
Although he has not had much contact with Li Xing, Bahur has realized that Li Xing is a very reckless person and can do anything.
After looking around, Bahur noticed the window of the cell. Due to its age and disrepair, this window was not very strong.
"What do you want to do?" Li Linger's eyes fell on him.
"I……"
Bahu'er felt timid. After the interrogation just now, Li Ling'er no longer completely trusted him.
Originally she was protecting herself, but now she is guarding herself.
…
"Hand the man over."
"In broad daylight, the universe is clear, and there is still justice and justice."
Many scholars gathered in front of the gate of the county government office. They waved their fists, spitted at their mouths, and their voices sounded like heavy hammers, trying to raze the county government office to the ground.
Cui Jia was tired from shouting, so he squeezed out from the crowd, took out a few taels of silver, and handed it to his bookboy.
"Go, buy some sugar water and share it with everyone."
"Brother Cui."
At this moment, a middle-aged Confucian scholar came over from a distance. Cui Jia's eyes lit up and he said, "Brother Yan is here too."
"Oh, what happened to Mr. Li? How could I not come here?" The visitor sighed: "I didn't expect that the officialdom at the border would be so dark."
"As long as everyone contributes and everyone is willing to speak up, no one here can cover up the sky with one hand," Cui Jia said.
"Brother Cui said it best. After hearing the news, I dared to come here immediately. Brother Lian from Fenshui, Brother Pang from Chaotian Town... they are all rushing here."
A red light appeared on Cui Jia's face. He had never been as excited as he was today. He couldn't help but clapped his hands and said: "Okay, okay, do you feel that everyone's hearts are connected together?"
"Not only scholars in the North, but also many scholars in the Southern Jin Dynasty are close friends of Brother Li. They are afraid that they will not be able to make it in time, so they have asked someone to send the message. There are others on the way, trying to make it in time."
From Cui Jia's point of view, scholars were coming from all directions. They were all well-known people from all over the country. Some of them were less famous and had no famous poems, so they were too embarrassed to show up at this time.
"I have been in retreat. Could it be that the officialdom of Daqian has become so dark?"
"Mr. Liu, why are you here?"
Originally there were only about a hundred people in front of the door, but now more and more people gathered, and there were two to three hundred people. With the addition of book boys and servants, the number was even greater.
They crowded in front of the door, shouting loudly, and some even asked Li Xing to come out on his knees to apologize.
Now the pressure is on Shan Changhe.
"Where is Li Xingren, what is he doing?" The matter was urgent, and Shan Changhe didn't mind calling Li Xingren by his first name.
"Sir, I just asked. Magistrate Li has been asking all night and is sleeping now."
"Sleep? He is in the mood to sleep."
Even though he was an iron-faced Yama like Shan Changhe, his scalp felt numb at this moment.
Scholars from all over the world gathered together and kept banging on the gate, and the five hundred elite soldiers transferred from the border did not dare to stop it too hard.
Scholars are a force that cannot be underestimated in the court, and Li Shabai is a role model for scholars.
Li Xing got into trouble this time.
"Bring me the luggage."
At the critical moment, Shan Changhe still slammed the table. If the matter couldn't be resolved, he wouldn't mind killing it first and then using Li Xing's head to appease public anger.
"Sir, Magistrate Li is here. Please go to the cell."
"Well, what are you doing in the prison?"
Shan Changhe didn't understand what he meant, but he still stood up and walked outside the house.
Things were really messy now, and he wanted to go outside for some fresh air.
Shan Changhe followed Li Xing and frowned slightly, feeling as if there was a sharp knife hidden in Li Xing's sleeve.
…
In the cell, Bahur felt that the footsteps of death were approaching.
As a believer in God, he is not actually afraid of death. What he is afraid of is that he has not had time to do anything.
He looked at Li Ling'er who was staring at him with eager eyes, suddenly changed his expression, and said aggrievedly: "Auntie, save me."
Li Ling'er said: "You know how to ask me for help today. When you left me, did you ever think of this day?"
Bahur said: "Everything yesterday was all my fault, aunt. Today I am in a prison, and only you can save me."
"With me here, no one can hurt you. Sooner or later, the truth will be revealed, so why should you be impatient."
Bahur shook his head and smiled bitterly, sighing: "Although you say so, you are controlled by others after all. In order to save his life, the dog officer will inevitably kill someone and silence him. Auntie, do you really look like you are watching me being killed?"
Li Ling'er frowned and didn't know what to do.
Bahur added: "Auntie, others don't know whether I am a barbarian spy, but you don't know. If others don't believe me, don't you believe me too?"
Li Ling'er felt a pain in her heart and said softly: "I won't let anyone harm you even if the sea and rocks are broken."
Li Xing and Shan Changhe had just entered the prison when they heard a roar, a big hole opened in the wall, and a figure ran out.
"Hold the grass."
Li Xing walked a few steps quickly and saw Li Ling'er looking back and running out of the hole.
Li Xing and Shan Changhe looked at each other.
"I saw it. It was the woman who broke through the wall and escaped with him."
Pi Kefeng said from the side: "Sir, I didn't run away."
