The Imperial Concubine Just Wants To Be a Salted Fish Every Day

Many officials gathered in front of the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion, including both civil officials and generals.

When they heard the news of the sudden death of the sheriff, they were shocked and went to the sheriff's mansion together to verify the truth.

At this time, the gate was blocked by these officials, and the guards of the Sheriff's Mansion did not dare to do anything to them, so they could only guard the door with shields to prevent these officials from rushing into the Sheriff's Mansion in a hurry.

The change here attracted the attention of the people in the city, and more and more people gathered here.

They also want to know if the governor is dead or not?

With the passage of time, the Lord Sheriff has never shown up, and the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion has been closed tightly, and no one has come out to give an explanation. This evasive attitude made the hearts of the officials sink quickly.

They originally only suspected that something had happened to the sheriff, but now it seems that their suspicion may be true.

As a third-rank official, the governor of the county is in charge of a county. He is a real frontier official. His life and death are related to the structure of the entire Lu'an County.

Especially those local officials who follow Jian Shujie.

They almost tied their future prospects to Jian Shujie. Once Jian Shujie was gone, their future would be in jeopardy.

After all, who knows who the new sheriff will be sent next?

In case the new sheriff has a grudge against Jian Shujie, the confidantes left behind by the former officials will definitely become thorns in the side.

If things really got to that point, they had to make preparations in advance, at least to find a way out for themselves before the arrival of the new sheriff.

Now, the life and death of the Sheriff has become their biggest concern.

The mood of the officials gradually became agitated.

Some impatient officials even wanted to rush into the sheriff's mansion to find out, but were stopped by the guards guarding the door.

The generals immediately asked someone to send a message back, and soon a large number of soldiers and horses were transferred over.

The people onlookers were stunned. With so many soldiers and horses, they must have transferred all the officers and soldiers from Fufeng City. What a great deal!

The county guard's mansion was surrounded by the army.

The guards guarding the gate turned pale with fright from the battle in front of them, and their arms holding their shields trembled a little.

The two sides were deadlocked, and the atmosphere was tense.

At this moment, the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion, which was originally closed, was suddenly opened from the inside!

Everyone present was taken aback.

They turned their heads in unison to look in the direction of the gate.

But he saw the sheriff in a dark cloak stepping out.

Behind him were two guards who held swords and were very skilled at first sight.

In fact, these two guards are from Tianmen.

Yu Jiu deliberately arranged for them to follow Jian Shujie, under the guise of protecting Jian Shujie's safety, but in fact it was to monitor Jian Shujie's words and deeds.

Once Jian Shujie made any strange moves, these two people from Tianmen disguised as guards would immediately stop Jian Shujie.

Jian Shujie stood still on the steps in front of the door, glanced at all the officials present, and asked in a deep voice.

"What are you going to do? In front of the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion, how can you be so presumptuous?"

The officials had already prepared for the worst. At this moment, when they saw the sheriff appearing in front of them safe and sound, the mood that had sunk to the bottom suddenly rose again.

This up and down is really a test of people's ability to bear.

After a short period of daze, the officials finally came to their senses. They hurriedly bowed to the Sheriff, bowing to each other, clasping fists together, their movements were not neat at all, and even a little messy.

A civil servant came out of the queue and said loudly.

"The lower official heard that the county sheriff had an accident, and he was extremely worried, so he rashly came to disturb him. If there is any impoliteness, I hope the county sheriff will see that in the past, the lower official was still conscientious, so don't follow me. General knowledge of officials."

The others also begged for mercy, hoping that the sheriff would not be dissatisfied with their abruptness.

Jian Shujie: "I'm just unwell, don't listen to those rumors outside."

Everyone saw that the sheriff was indeed much thinner than before, and his face looked quite pale, and his complexion was very bad. It was obviously because of his illness. It must be because the sheriff did not show up just now because he was sick.

Everything has a reasonable explanation, and the officials are finally completely relieved.

...

In the darkened dungeon, it was still so dark.

Wen Jiucheng sat on the ground with his back against the cold and hard wall, and there were bursts of sharp pain in his chest.

He didn't dare to touch it, and he didn't dare to move, for fear of aggravating the injury.

In order to ignore the pain from the wound, Wen Jiucheng tried to divert his attention by talking.

He called Big Brother.

Fang Wujiu, who was locked in the opposite cell, replied, "What's the matter?"

Wen Jiucheng: "Will Jian Shujie really stand by our side?"

Fang Wujiu: "Well, this is his only way out."

Wen Jiucheng: "But his wife is still in Tianmen's hands. If he suddenly rebels, Tianmen will definitely kill his wife. Can he be so cruel?"

Fang Wujiu: "If the county magistrate's wife is still alive, Jian Shujie really won't be ruthless."

Wen Jiucheng was taken aback by this answer.

He asked in surprise: "You mean, the sheriff's wife is dead? But how do you know?"

Fang Wujiu said calmly.

"Before you came here, I had some contact with Jian Shujie..."

Half a month ago, it was still the cell.

Fang Wujiu leaned against the wall and said to the people in the next cell.

"As a county guard and a third-rank official, you should have many capable people and strangers under your command. How could you be easily controlled by the people of Tianmen?"

It took a long time to hear Jian Shujie's answer.

"They first controlled my wife. I was afraid that they would hurt my wife, so I was restrained by them."

How smart is Fang Wujiu? In an instant, I figured out the ins and outs of the whole thing.

He asked again: "After you were locked up, have you ever seen Mrs. Zun?"

Jian Shujie: "I've seen it twice."

Fang Wujiu: "When was the last time?"

Jian Shujie was probably recalling, and only spoke after a long time.

"I don't remember, it was a long time ago anyway."

He had been imprisoned for too long, and he couldn't tell the difference between day and night in the cell, and he had long lost his sense of time.

Fang Wujiu: "Didn't they let you see Mrs. Zun recently?"

Jian Shujie: "They said that my wife is sick and unable to go out, so they will bring me a letter from my wife every few days."

Fang Wujiu's tone became a little deep: "Are you sure those letters were written by Mrs. Zun?"

Jian Shujie's voice suddenly became irritable: "What do you mean by that?"

Fang Wujiu's mood was always calm and calm.

"I don't mean anything else, I just suspect that those letters were written by others imitating Mrs. Zun's handwriting. The real Mrs. Sheriff is probably gone."
