Chen Dagang was stunned when he heard the secret guard's words.

Chen Dagang stared at the secret guards and asked: "What is the matter between the prime minister and the county magistrate? Why is it so troubled?" His voice revealed eagerness and confusion.

The secret guard replied firmly: "It is about the implementation of the system of burial burial. The prime minister discovered the county magistrate's misconduct in the system of burial burial and wanted to reveal the truth."

Chen Dagang's face became serious, and he understood the importance and sensitivity of the system of burial.

He stood up without hesitation and said, "We must go to the county government immediately and cannot let this happen."

The secret guard expressed satisfaction with Chen Dagang's decisiveness.

He nodded and said, "Sir, your decision is correct. Time is urgent, we must act as soon as possible."

Chen Dagang hurried out of the room and immediately started preparing horses.

The night is deep and everything is silent.

The county magistrate was lying on the bed, immersed in his dreams.

Suddenly, an urgent knock on the door came, breaking the tranquility of the night.

The county magistrate was awakened and felt very unhappy.

He frowned and asked angrily: "It's so late, who is knocking on the door? Are you here to report the demise?"

The servant outside the door replied excitedly: "Master, it's the governor here!"

The county magistrate was startled and instantly sat up from the bed.

His eyes widened, his heart full of doubts and uneasiness.

"Governor? Why did he come at this time?" he murmured to himself, hurriedly putting on his clothes.

He hurriedly sorted out his appearance, took a deep breath, and walked towards the door.

The county magistrate hurried to the gate and saw Chen Dagang, and hurriedly bowed.

Chen Dagang walked into the mansion with a blank expression. The county magistrate hurriedly followed and asked carefully while instructing the lights to light the lamp: "Governor, I'm visiting late at night, I don't know what's going on?"

In the hall, candlelight flashed, illuminating the county magistrate's nervous face.

Chen Dagang had sharp eyes, staring at the county magistrate, and asked: "Have you put someone you shouldn't be imprisoned in prison?"

The county magistrate immediately replied: "Sir, the lower officials have never done such a thing. The lower officials have always enforced the law impartially, so how could they detain innocent people at will?"

Chen Dagang sneered and said in a stern tone: "I received the news that someone was detained for no reason. If I find out that you have any favoritism and abuse of power, you will be responsible for the consequences!"

A cold sweat broke out on the county magistrate's forehead. He lowered his head and said, "Sir, the official understands. If there are any violations, he will be severely punished."

At this time, the whole hall was filled with tension, and the county magistrate's heart was filled with uneasiness and fear.

Chen Dagang looked at the county magistrate with sharp eyes and said, "I got the news that you have imprisoned Xi Yu."

The county magistrate waved his hand quickly and replied in a panic look.

"There is absolutely no such thing! How could the Xiaguan do such a confused thing? And the Xiaguan is not qualified to meet Xi Yu."

Chen Dagang chased and asked reluctantly: "Did you imprison a man and a woman? It is said that the man came to discuss the system of burial with you."

The county magistrate was shocked when he heard this and thought to himself: Could that man be Xi Yu?

Fine sweat beads began to seep from his forehead, and his voice trembled slightly: "Sir, the lower official did imprison a man and a woman, but they..."

Chen Dagang's eyes were like torch, as if they could penetrate the heart of the county magistrate.

He said seriously: "I'm going to meet these two people in person to ensure the truth of the matter."

The county magistrate said respectfully: "Sir, please come with me."

The two walked towards the county jail together. The road was silent, only their footsteps were echoing.

The corridors of the county government offices were dim and depressed, as if they were heralding the arrival of a storm.

In the silent cell, Xi Yu heard the sound coming from outside and immediately woke up alertly.

A hint of expectation was revealed in his eyes.

Chen Dagang and the county magistrate walked into the cell.

Chen Dagang had a sharp eye. He had seen the portrait of Xi Yu and recognized the person in front of him at a glance. He hurried forward and saluted respectfully.

"Sir, I'm late to get a rank, and I'll make you suffer." Chen Dagang's voice was filled with apology.

The county magistrate stood aside and was stunned.

He never expected that the person he was detained was actually Xi Yu. His face turned pale and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

At this time, Xiao Cui next to her was also awakened by the sound.

She rubbed her eyes, saw Chen Dagang and the county magistrate, and immediately understood what was going on.

"Young Master, are you the Prime Minister?"

Xi Yu smiled slightly.

"Yes, I've been lying to you all the time, I hope you don't mind."

A joyful smile appeared on Xiao Cui's face, and she couldn't believe her eyes.

The person in front of me turned out to be Xi Yu, the Prime Minister!

An excitement and joy surged in her heart.

"Master Prime Minister!" Xiao Cui shouted excitedly, his eyes flashing with a light of surprise.

Xi Yu looked at Xiao Cui with a smile, and his eyes revealed a kind of intimacy and warmth.

"Xiao Cui, don't panic. We will leave here soon." His voice was calm and firm, giving people a sense of peace of mind.

The county magistrate's face was pale, his legs became weak, and he quickly knelt down.

His voice trembled, full of fear and regret.

"Master, the lower official has no idea about Mount Tai, and he has mistakenly detained you here. It is a crime to die! Please forgive the ignorance and ignorance of the lower official."

He bowed his head and kowtowed, his forehead almost touching the ground.

The county magistrate's heart was filled with fear. He knew that he had made a big mistake and might ruin his future.

Xi Yu looked at the county magistrate quietly, his voice calm and majestic: "Okay, since you know your mistake, let's talk about what crimes you have committed."

The county magistrate lowered his head and his eyes were ashamed.

His voice trembled.

"Prime Minister, the lower official did accept the gifts of Mr. Huang, so he chose to turn a blind eye to the system of burial. In addition, the lower official... the lower official had also accepted bribes from others, and he was really ashamed of the court and the people!"

His words echoed in the silent cell, and every word was filled with regret and self-blame.

At this time, the atmosphere in the cell became solemn, as if even the air had condensed.

Xi Yu's eyes were as sharp as a torch. He looked at the county magistrate seriously and said nothing, which made the county magistrate feel extremely stressed.

The county magistrate's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He did not dare to look up and could only continue to confess: "The officials knew they were wrong and were willing to take all the responsibility. Please give the officials a chance to reform themselves."

Xi Yu was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Your crime is already clear. The most important thing now is how to make up for the fault. You must return all bribes and actively cooperate with the investigation to make the truth about the burial system public. Only in this way can you reduce your guilt."

The county magistrate nodded repeatedly.

"The officials will do it, and they will do it!"

Chen Dagang looked at the county magistrate and said seriously: "Since the matter is clear, let the Prime Minister and this girl go out quickly to have a good rest."

The county magistrate hurriedly nodded and said respectfully: "Yes, yes, yes, the minister will arrange the best guest room so that the prime minister and this girl can rest well."

Xi Yu and Xiao Cui walked out of the cell and felt the fresh air outside.

The rooms are elegantly furnished and comfortable.

The county magistrate said respectfully: "Prime Minister, let's rest on your behalf, sir."

Xiao Cui shouted quickly.

"Are there no other rooms?"

The county magistrate then became embarrassed and finally watched Xi Yu.

He originally thought that Xi Yu was willing to sleep in the same room with this girl.

"No, hurry up and prepare another room for him." Xi Yu said.

"Okay, please make arrangements immediately."
