"Chen Guannian, um... the key is with me!" he said, his expression somewhat unnatural.
"I fear someone might enter the cell and do something harmful, so I had the cell key brought to me. I will release the prisoner when I interrogate them..."
Zhang Xiao never imagined that his actions would have such an impact on Fang Ziming's death.
Chen Yongnian suddenly looked up at Zhang Xiao, his eyes filled with disappointment.
Zhang Xiao felt a pang of unease as Chen Yongnian stared at him.
He turned his face away and just then saw the unconscious soldier wake up. He said, "Interrogate him thoroughly and find out exactly what happened!"
After saying that, he looked at Chen Yongnian and said coldly, "You too, cooperate with the investigation!"
After saying that, he turned and walked out.
Xie Xing followed Zhang Xiao all the way to the county government office study.
The door was closed, and several books were thrown at Xie Xing.
Xie Xing slightly turned aside, avoiding the books, and said softly, "My lord, why get so angry?"
"Xie Xing, what have you done? Do you know the consequences of your actions?" Zhang Xiao slammed his fist on the table and shouted.
"I don't understand what you're saying, sir!" Xie Xing said calmly.
He walked calmly to the side and sat down. "Sir, didn't you say that this matter would be resolved within five days?"
Xie Xing's words carried a strong sense of threat, which startled Zhang Xiao. "You...you're threatening me?"
"How could I dare?" Xie Xing smiled faintly, picked up the cold tea beside him, and took a sip.
"Xie Xing, don't play these games with me! If you find out, you'll die, but I won't! I haven't done anything!" Zhang Xiao made it clear that he was completely innocent.
He only asked Xie Xing to handle the matter within five days, not to kill anyone.
"That's none of my business!" Xie Xing said casually.
Then, he looked up at Zhang Xiao and said, "However, if something happens to me, Lord Zhang will probably have a hard time returning to the capital, let alone becoming an apprentice of Elder Xu!"
"Xie Xing, what makes you think you have the ability to fight me?" Zhang Xiaocai didn't believe Xie Xing had such great abilities.
If it were true, why would the higher-ups send someone to help him?
"If Lord Zhang doesn't believe me, we can wait and see!" Xie Xing smiled.
At this moment, he was no longer the obsequious and fawning Lord Xie; instead, he exuded a sense of superiority over Zhang Xiao.
Zhang Xiao looked at Xie Xing with terror in his eyes.
