As soon as Xu Qi'an stepped into the county office, he heard a crying voice: "Brother"
It was Xu Lingyue, who was dressed in light blue robes, slim and graceful. Her beautiful and fair face was stained with tears, and her eye circles were red and swollen, just like a cute little flower.
Xu Lingyin was nowhere to be seen, probably not letting him come over in the side hall.
Xu Qi'an nodded slightly, giving her a calm look.
The magistrate Zhu, who had already received the news, sat in front of the table and saw a group of people brought in by the yamen servants, and saw clearly the angry young man in brocade.
Lao Zhu was taken aback, and hurriedly got up to greet him.
"Oh, isn't this Mr. Zhou, how is Mr. Zhou?"
Young Master Jin Yi waved his sleeves violently, forcing County Magistrate Zhu away, pointing at Xu Qi'an, and said viciously: "This man is committing murder in the street, he wants to kill me, take him down quickly."
"It's serious, it's serious" County magistrate Zhu turned his head with a smile on his face, and shouted angrily, "Hurry up, Xu Qi'an, don't get out yet."
Xu Qi'an bit the bullet and went forward.
"You bastard, you even dare to hit the son of Mr. Zhou, the servant of the household department. How smart are you?" County magistrate Zhu flew up and kicked Xu Qi'an, turned his head, and smiled like a dog again:
"Mr. Zhou, this is the flood that washed into the Dragon King Temple. They are all from our own family. Your lord does not care about villains, so don't care about him."
Outside the crowd, Xu Lingyue looked at her cousin because she was blamed, tears rolled down, and Qiong's nose, which was more straight and delicate than ordinary women, turned red from crying.
The son of the servant of the household departmentXu Qi'an's heart sank.
In the officialdom of the Dafeng Dynasty, the power of an official depends not on his rank, but on his background and power.
There are many first- and second-rank officials, but only a small group of people really stand at the pinnacle of power.
The six ministers and ministers are listed here.
Beating the son of the servant of the household department made a big fuss.
"Shaote, do this for me. If you don't arrest people, I will do it myself." Young Master Zhou waved his hand and ordered his subordinates: "Arrest this kid for me."
He didn't believe that in the county government, this kid dared to resist and commit murder.
County magistrate Zhu shouted: "Whoever dares to commit violence in the county office will be shot to death."
The third class of yamen servants rushed out, drew out the simple knife, and put it on the neck of the servant who was about to strike.
The white servants are on guard with sticks.
"The surname Zhu, you dare to touch my people?" Mr. Zhou pointed at the magistrate Zhu's nose and yelled.
"Mr. Zhou, don't get me wrong. I'm an official of the imperial court, and I just follow the rules." County magistrate Zhu still had a dog-licking smile, and touched the saliva on his face:
"I have an indictment here, suing you, young master, for abusing a woman from a good family. The accuser is Xu Lingyue."
This is the method that Zhu County Magistrate has prepared for a long time. If the other party is just an ordinary yamen, Zhu County Magistrate will find a way to make a big problem into a small one.
It's just that I didn't expect that the victim was the son of the servant of the household department.
Mr. Zhou let out a "heh", "Who did you hurt by riding a horse? Bullying a woman from a good family, you surnamed Zhu, go to the street and ask, did I touch this woman with a finger?"
"Then maybe this woman has identified the wrong person." Magistrate Zhu put the lawsuit back into his sleeve with a smile.
Oops, County Magistrate Zhu can't figure it out, I have to find a way to save myself, and if I can't, I will run awaybut it will definitely hurt the second uncle's family. Xu Qi'an was a little anxious. In this era, only the second generation of officials can deal with the second generation of officials. His rank is far behind others.
Let alone him, even if it is the second uncle, a hundred households of the imperial sword guard, what is it in front of the servant of the household department?
Nothing.
As for regret, no, with the knife resting on his neck, is he allowed to be slaughtered?
In a flash of thought, he saw one of Mr. Zhou's followers leaving the county government office, but county magistrate Zhu didn't stop him.
Xu Qi'an felt a little cold again, walked to Wang Butou, and said in a low voice: "Boss, brother, I am doomed today, and I have something to ask you."
Catcher Wang was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Say it."
In the past month, the relationship between him and Xu Qi'an has improved by leaps and bounds. They went to Goulan to play every day, drank flowers and wine together, and forged a deep friendship.
"Lend me a tael of silver first."
Wang Butou felt in his bosom, and took out a handful of broken silver, less than a tael.
Xu Qi'an took the broken silver and put it in his pocket, and then said: "Boss, you ride to my house quickly, and get a book, a blue book, from the cabinet next to my bed, remember not to take it by mistake."
The diary has a light yellow cover.
"After you take the book, go to Sitianjian immediately, find a girl named Caiwei, and send me a message: Xu Qi'an is in trouble, please help quickly."
Si Tianjian? ! Wang Butou looked hesitant, "How can someone like me go to that place?"
Letting him enter the Sitianjian is equivalent to letting ordinary people enter the palace, and they don't even have the guts to approach.
Xu Qi'an knew this, and said in a low voice: "If something happens to me, no one will return the money to you."
Wang Catcher's eyes widened.
"Help me finish this matter, next month's salary will all belong to you, the boss."
"Xu Qi'an, your uncle." Catcher Wang rushed out of the county office cursing
Xu Pingzhi received the notice, borrowed a horse from his colleagues, and hurried to the Changle County Yamen.
Stepping over the threshold and entering the courtroom, the first thing you see is the crying and trembling daughter, followed by the yamen servants and servants who are at war with swords.
Xu Pingzhi withdrew his gaze, came to his daughter, and asked with a serious face: "What's going on?"
Xu Lingyue seemed to see a savior, she cried even more fiercely, and told her father what happened, sobbing.
When he heard Zhou Shilang's young master raising his horse's hoof and trampling on the young girl, the corners of his eyes twitched, and his face became more gloomy.
"If it weren't for big brother, the ringtone would be gone, woo woo"
Ning YanXu Pingzhi looked at the figure of his nephew, closed his eyes and calmed down for a few seconds, and said in a low voice: "Go to the side hall and watch the ringtone, don't come out."
Seeing the back of his daughter Xiao ran disappear, Xu Pingzhi stepped forward silently, staring at Mr. Jinyi: "Mr. Zhou, can this be done?"
Young Master Jin Yi met his eyes, as if he felt a real killing intent, and remembered what Xu Qi'an said on the street.
The wild words in his throat couldn't be squeezed out no matter what.
"Xu Baihu is such a powerful official, why, if my son doesn't give up, you still want to splatter five steps with blood?"
An old man wearing a blue gown with golden piping on the cuffs and neckline and a jade pendant hanging on his waist came in from the gate of the county government office.
His hair is white and black, his face is thin, and his eyes are as sharp as needles.
When he first spoke, he was still at the door. When he finished speaking, he had already arrived at the court.
"Uncle Chen." Young Master Jin Yi was overjoyed.
"How did the young master get hurt like this? Which damned animal did it. The old slave watched the young master grow up, and the slightest injury hurt him so much."
The old man felt distressed and angry when he saw Young Master Jinyi's earlobe covered with blood scabs.
"I have told the master several times to match you with a master of Qi training, but he always refuses on the grounds that you like to make trouble."
"So what if you cause trouble? It's better for others to suffer than for you, young master."
?Feeling that he was locked by an air force, Xu Pingzhi felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, as if a snake crawled across his back, he had a feeling of hovering on the verge of life and death.
A similar feeling is often felt when fighting on the battlefield, which makes him dare not move.
This old man is a master of refining gods.
County magistrate Zhu coughed: "You are"
"Don't dare!" The old man interrupted indifferently, "This old man is just an old slave in the Zhou family, and I can't afford Master Zhu's "you"."
"The old man is very polite." The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, this truth is best understood by old-timers in the officialdom, Zhu County Magistrate smiled apologetically:
"Looking at this incident, it's all a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. The Beijing inspection is coming soon, everyone values ??peace, old man, what do you think?"
The old man sneered and said: "A few insignificant people can't affect the master's Jingcha. The Zhou family has always convinced people with virtue, and everything is done according to the rules and regulations of the court."
Everyone didn't understand what he said at first, until a moment later, the sound of chaotic and loud footsteps came from outside the yamen.
Then a group of armored soldiers poured in, led by an official wearing a green robe and embroidered with white pheasants. He looked around and said loudly:
"The Ministry of Punishment arrests criminals, and idlers stay away. If they interfere, they will be punished with the same crime."
After a pause, the green-robed fifth-rank official smiled at Young Master Zhou: "Young Master, I ask you, where are the criminals?"
Young Master Zhou pointed at Xu Qi'an: "Lock this bastard for me."
The green-robed fifth-rank official waved his hand: "Take it."
The soldiers rushed up, took out the shackles, and locked Xu Qi'an.
"My lord, what is my nephew's fault!" Xu Pingzhi was anxious.
"Whether there is a crime or not, I can decide for myself." The fifth-rank official in Qingpao said indifferently: "As a doctor of the Ministry of Punishment, I want to enforce the law impartially and be meticulous."
Xu Pingzhi still wanted to speak, but was held back by County Magistrate Zhu.
"take away!"
