Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

"In the past two months, the city gates have been strictly guarded, and all people with facial scars or beards have been taken in for questioning, but there is still no trace of Gong Tao. He must still be in the city."

Governor Pang narrowed his eyes and asked, "Where was Gong Tao last seen?"

Tian Peng replied: "It's in the Shen family's house."

"Ms. Shen? She is the woman with a great background you mentioned. I remember that several of your brothers also died at her hands, right?"

"That's right." A hint of indignation flashed across Tian Peng's eyes.

"Is there anything wrong?"

Tian Peng shook his head. "Although I suspected it, I also took people to investigate, but I didn't find anything."

Governor Pang pondered and said, "She is a woman who traveled to Jiangnan with a big belly, and she was accompanied by a figure like Cai Ling. This is a bit unusual, but the more this is the case, the more suspicious she seems."

Tian Peng didn't know what he was thinking of. His eyes flashed as he said, "Gong Tao showed up just to save her. Otherwise, Shen would have died under our swords long ago..."

"What nonsense!"

Governor Pang interrupted with a sullen face, "What has the government got to do with the evil deeds of the bandits?"

Tian Peng's face turned grim, and he slapped himself twice, "Please forgive me, sir, I was wrong!"

Governor Pang glared at him coldly and was suddenly stunned.

"Wait, with Cai Ling here, he is very skilled, how could the bandits possibly hurt the Shen family?"

Tian Peng was also stunned.

Yes, he was only thinking about catching Gong Tao, but never thought about this level.

When Cai Ling attacked, one person died, one was disabled and two were injured. With such strength, he would have dealt with the bandits in a few moves. Why would he wait until the whole yard was filled with injured people, which would have attracted Gong Tao to show up?

unless……

He was not there originally, but arrived later.

"Damn them!" Tian Peng cursed in a low voice, "They didn't even tell me such an important thing!"

It was late at night, and Cai Ling ignored the ban and violated the curfew!

"How stupid!"

Governor Pang glared at him coldly, "If it weren't for the disrespect shown to me by Zhang Tongzhi and his subordinate surnamed Sun, do you think this job would have fallen on you?"

"It was my negligence, please calm down, sir!" Tian Peng kowtowed quickly.

Governor Pang looked at him, as if he was very regretful. Why did he promote such a fool to do the job?

However, it is useless to regret now, as the new prefect will be taking office soon, and he must settle Gong Tao's matter completely before that.

There was a coldness in his eyes.

"I don't care who Shen is, but since Gong Tao showed up to save her and then disappeared, she is also a suspect. And Cai Ling, as a man of the underworld, he didn't know how to restrain himself in the city and actually violated the ban at night. I don't care what means you use, these two people must be strictly interrogated. You have three days to catch Gong Tao in front of me, otherwise..."

"Watch out for your head!"

Tian Peng was shocked, knowing that this was Governor Pang's final ultimatum, and he kowtowed and said, "I obey your command!"

Governor Pang didn't even look at him, but just waved his sleeves.

After Tian Peng came out of the house, he went straight to the provincial government training ground and started beating the gong loudly.

"Everyone, grab your weapons!"

Soon, he finished his reorganization, and a large group of people rushed towards Shen Nankui's residence with murderous intent.

This time, he brought three times as many people as last time.

When the gate of his courtyard was broken open, Shen Nankui was talking to Aunt Tao in the living room.

Aunt Tao was worried that she was about to give birth, so she insisted on coming to see her in person. Not only did she bring a lot of supplements, but as someone who had experienced it, she also told her many things that women should pay attention to when giving birth. While the two were talking about these things, even Tao Ru was sent to the side hall.

Shen Nankui had never experienced these in her previous life, and she had no elders to teach her in this life, so she was very happy to listen to Aunt Tao's nagging. The two were talking happily when they suddenly heard a loud "bang" and were both startled.

Soon, Tao Ru came in with a pale face and said with some stammering: "...There are many soldiers outside, they have torn down the gate of the courtyard..."

"Ah? What happened?" Aunt Tao also looked frightened.

Shen Nankui knew that the person who came was not a good person, so he took a deep breath and said, "I'll go out and take a look."

When they arrived at the yard, Cai Ling and Hei Niu had already come out and were standing in front of the group of officers and soldiers. The person leading the officers and soldiers was still their old acquaintance Tian Peng.

Shen Nankui glanced over coldly and saw that these officers and soldiers had surrounded the courtyard.

Her heart sank a little, but she smiled.

"So you're the farm foreman. You came uninvited today. Do you want to help me till the garden again?"

Hearing her sarcastic tone, Tian Peng's face turned pale, but he didn't respond.

Shen Nankui looked at the two door panels lying on the ground and said in confusion: "If Tian Bantou came to visit, there would be a servant to open the door for you. Why are you so rude?"

Tian Peng sneered and said bluntly: "Madam, you are very eloquent. I can't beat you in an argument. But I came here today because I have something important to do. I don't have time to chat with you!"

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"The main thing is - Madam, please follow me to the state prison!"

He Hua was the first to get anxious, "Why did you arrest my wife and send her to jail?"

The faces of the Tao mother and daughter also changed. Aunt Tao started to tremble when she heard the word "jail". "Why are you going to jail for no reason? You can't go to that place..."

My daughter was in there, being tortured to the point of losing her human form. If she hadn't met Shen Nankui, I'm afraid they would have already become a pair of dead souls...

Therefore, when she heard the word "prison", the fear in her heart was immediately aroused.

Tao Ru patted her mother's shoulder. Although her face was a little pale, she was still calm. She looked at Shen Nankui with concern.

"Boss, what happened?"

Shen Nankui shook his head, "It's hard to explain in just a few words."

She looked at Tian Peng with gloomy eyes, "Captain Tian, ​​if you want to arrest me and take me to jail, you must first let me know what crime I have committed. Besides, Aunt Tao and Miss Tao came to my house as guests today. Now they are frightened when they see you. Please let them go first."

Tao Ru’s case had caused a lot of controversy before, so Tian Peng naturally knew them.

His target today was only Shen Nankui and Cai Ling, so after hearing this, he did not refuse and ordered people to get out of the way.

Shen Nankui said to the Tao mother and daughter: "Aunt Tao, Miss Tao, you go back first."

Tao Ru shook her head. "Boss, I don't know why these officers want to arrest you. How can you go to a filthy place like a prison when you are pregnant?"

She had been in prison before, and knew how horrible that place was. Anyone who entered it would be tortured. The prison was dark and dark all year round, and there were countless deaths and injuries. It was filled with evil spirits. How could such a delicate person like the Dong family, who was pregnant and about to give birth, go there?"

She made up her mind and was about to step down.

"I'll go and reason with them!"
