He Zifeng finished speaking briefly to Miss Piaopiao and left here.

Early the next morning, the government officials went to repair the city wall. The county magistrate also knows the virtues of his regular government servants. Without him, the truth will definitely be revealed. So he went there early, and when he came, everyone worked very efficiently.

Craftsmen and workers need to thicken and reinforce the city wall twice, and the work is very tiring. Even Zhu Baotou can carry rocks to work, and others can only grit their teeth and imitate. They can't be more impressive than Zhu Baotou. Except for He Zifeng, who had worked before, the other people present didn't have this ability at all. They either had strains or sprained their waists.

Worked until noon. After all, they were yamen servants, and they didn't want to be seen as cowards. At noon, they returned to the yamen to rest for a while, and everyone showed their grins.

I didn't care whether it was dirty or not, so I just sat down on the ground. Everyone was as tired as a dead dog.

He Zifeng looked as usual and had sweated a lot all morning. He got a basin of water and washed his face and hands. Then start eating the food cooked by the cook.

They were all buddies from the county government, sitting together in twos and threes. Someone asked: "Why didn't Master come?"

Although the master and the county magistrate didn't get along in the past, they never missed him when trying to save face.

He didn't come when there was such a big commotion in the county, and the people would talk about it later, so he couldn't do anything wrong.

The master's subordinate said: "Master was originally going to come, but I don't know who threw rotten vegetable leaves at the door yesterday. He was angry."

Everyone was around when we were talking, and they loved hearing this kind of thing. He said, somewhat as if he was offering fire, "Ha, who can be so brave?" The only one who came to cause trouble was an old man who had already been taken into custody by the Yamen.

"Who knows?" The master usually pretended to be cold and aloof at the yamen gate, but now he encountered this kind of thing one after another and lost face.

He Zifeng saw a man in jailer's clothes coming to him and said, "Brother He, go and have a look. Gong San is dead."

Everyone immediately looked over in surprise.

He Zifeng said: "What's going on? Did you use torture?"

The jailer said: "How dare we use torture? It's because he's not in good health. He was foaming at the mouth when he woke up early in the morning." Something happened in their prison, and the jailers couldn't escape and they hurriedly came to find someone.

The county supervisor had been exposed to the sun all day, and was pulled back by a carriage at noon. When Zhu Captou saw that the county magistrate was gone, he also left. The only one who can take charge now is He Zifeng.

He Zifeng said: "I'll go take a look first."

Several of his men wanted to go with He Zifeng, but their legs were shaking as soon as they stood up. He Zifeng saw that they were so tired that they didn't even eat, so he asked them to rest more.

He followed the jailer there alone.

When he arrived at the prison, he had already carried the man to an open area and called the doctor from Huichun Hall to treat him.

Xiao Li felt relieved when He Zifeng arrived. Said: "Brother He, we didn't touch him at all. I don't know why he is like this!"

He Zifeng asked: "When did you discover it?"
