When Shen Huaixin heard that there was still a public trial, he felt very irritated. He thought that Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe would also stay to hear the trial, but just as he was worried, Huo Changhe spoke again next to him.

"Master Governor, since you don't have time, I won't bother you for now. Let's discuss the matter of finding herbs another day."

Governor Cao nodded: "Okay, okay, it's really a sin for a low-ranking official to let the prince go all the way in vain."

"It doesn't matter."

Shen Huaixin didn't know why and couldn't believe that Huo Changhe just left like this.

Squinting his eyes slightly and staring at Huo Changhe, he really got into the carriage with Yan Ruyu and drove away.

Governor Cao cleared his throat: "Okay, let's all disperse!"

He turned to look at the two women, an old man and a young man: "And you, even though everyone is dead, you still want to take advantage of us. You are really crazy. Come here and give each of them twenty spanks as punishment!"

The two women were shocked and scared: "Sir, we..."

Before he finished speaking, his mouth was covered and dragged down.

Yin Ding and Beibei also snorted, cursed "you deserve it", got on the carriage and left in a big way.

Just as Shen Huaixin was about to give his men a wink to follow him, Governor Cao suddenly said: "Envoy Shen Cheng, please take a step to speak."

Shen Huaixin looked cold: "Does Governor Cao have anything else to say? I am all ears."

Assassin Cao took two steps forward and lowered his voice: "Envoy Shen Cheng, go in and talk. This is not the place to talk."

Shen Huaixin was baffled, but since Dagur was still in his hands, he could only endure it for the time being and wanted to see what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

Shen Huaixin followed Governor Cao inside. Governor Cao backed away and then sighed.

"Envoy Shen Cheng, this was just a last resort. Don't be offended."

Shen Huai's thoughts moved slightly with confidence, but he said calmly: "What does Governor Cao mean by this? I don't understand."

Governor Cao smacked his tea: "You also know that although the King of Zhennan is exiled here, he doesn't look like he is in exile at all? I really... To tell you the truth, he came here last night for this matter. The prisoner is here."

Doubts flashed in Shen Huaixin's eyes, and his tone was a little unbearable: "What did he say? The person who died was the envoy's person, what does it have to do with him? What does he worry about?"

"The envoy doesn't know this either, but he is very interested and was interrogated in prison yesterday."

"What's the question?"

"That's not true. Because I couldn't ask, I was very angry and wanted to punish him, but I stopped him."

Governor Cao shook his head: "I feel that no matter what happens, he will just live here. His identity as a prince is true, but he has no real power. How can I be controlled by him?"

Shen Huaixin nodded: "What your Excellency said is reasonable. It is true. We have many nobles and princes who have been exiled here. He is not the only one. If everyone relies on their previous status to be superior to you and me, then we, as officials, will have to Don’t be fooled?”

Governor Cao struck with both hands: "That's right. I have the same idea. I must keep the power in our hands."

He leaned forward and lowered his voice: "So, I don't intend to hand this prisoner over to him. Ambassador Shen Cheng, why don't you take him away."

Shen Huaixin was stunned, he didn't expect it to be so easy.

After another thought, I thought it was reasonable. If a person is here as Governor Cao, he is afraid that he will not be able to withstand the pressure of Huo Changhe, and he will not give up. When the time comes, Governor Cao will definitely be caught in the middle.

Just like that.

Therefore, Governor Cao chose to hand over the people to him. After all, he had a city guard in his hands, but Huo Changhe had nothing now.

Shen Huaixin laughed secretly, this man named Cao may look weak and timid, but he is not stupid.

Shen Huaixin raised his eyebrows slightly: "Investor Cao, are you serious?"

"Of course," Governor Cao said with a bitter look on his face, "You saw the attitude of King Zhennan just now. I really can't bear it again. It is said that the murderer was your lieutenant and he should be handed over to you. There is nothing to say about it. .”

"If he hadn't come last night and just now, I wouldn't have..." Governor Cao cupped his hands with shame on his face, "I wouldn't have contradicted Ambassador Shen Cheng and acted like this just now."

"In this case, you can do me a favor by taking the person away quickly."

When Shen Huaixin saw that he was speaking truthfully and that he was really anxious to get rid of the person, he became less anxious.

"This matter needs to be carefully discussed."

Governor Cao was confused: "What's the plan? Don't you want this person?"

"I want to, but I can't just take him away like this," Shen Huaixin thought, "If we take him away like this, we will still be in trouble. When the time comes, Huo Changhe will not let him go and he will have to deal with him."

"What the city envoy means..." Governor Cao blinked, "You don't want to rob the prison, do you? That won't work."

Shen Huaixin didn't really think about it. He just didn't want Huo Changhe to know that the person was taken away by him, at least for the time being. He would wait until the matter was properly handled.

Hearing what Governor Cao said, his eyes brightened: "This is indeed a good idea. I have sent my men to pretend to rob the prison. You can just ask people to pretend to resist and let them take him away smoothly. In this way, even if Huo Changhe knows Come and ask, we are all so evasive."

Governor Cao frowned and thought for a long time, seemingly hesitant. Shen Huaixin's tone was bewildering: "Don't worry, if he makes any strong remarks and accuses you, I will also speak for you."

"Besides, this matter has nothing to do with him anyway. As long as we achieve our goal, what can he do?"

Governor Cao's brows gradually furrowed as he said: "Okay, I'll do as you say, and make sure it looks like it, so as not to arouse suspicion."

"Don't worry, I'll go back and make arrangements immediately."

Shen Huaixin left in a hurry, and Governor Cao stroked his fat face with both hands, cursing in his mind: Damn, his face is going stiff.

He got up and went to the backyard. Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu were chatting. When they saw him coming, they smiled and asked, "Sir, how are you?"

Governor Cao smiled and replied: "Don't worry, Prince and Princess, everything is going according to plan. He has agreed to rob the prison."

Huo Changhe poured him a cup of tea, and Governor Cao quickly thanked him and took it: "Your Majesty, is that righteous man too dangerous?"

"My lord, don't worry about this. I have my own arrangements."

Governor Cao stopped asking further questions and nodded in agreement.

Yan Ruyu asked: "Sir, do you live here alone?"

"Exactly, Xiaguan has a daughter. She married into her husband's family the year before last. She got pregnant last summer. My wife was always worried and she often went to see her. This time something happened on New Year's Eve. When Xiaguan went to the village on the first day of the new year, my wife went It’s up to my daughter.”

"Then congratulations, sir, you will have a grandson soon."

Mentioning this matter, Governor Cao smiled from ear to ear: "Thank you so much. We just have a daughter. We love her very much. I always feel that she is still a child and has not grown up yet. Suddenly she has to be a mother herself."

Governor Cao sighed again, his joy mixed with a little worry: "I hope it will be safe and smooth."
