"Shizi, there is someone blocking the road ahead. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" The carriage stopped suddenly, and Wang Qiang's words sounded.

Lan Jing lifted the curtain, "Who is blocking the road?" "This is about to enter Pingyang City, and it shouldn't be a bandit or something."

Wang Qiang turned sideways, Lan Jing looked over, and saw more than a dozen old farmers standing side by side on the road holding hands and cutting off the road.

Lan Jing got out of the carriage and walked over, and gave them a salute, "I don't know why a few uncles are blocking the way?"

The uncle standing in the middle shyly pulled his clothes, "Son, no, no, no, my lord..."

"It's okay, it's okay to call me Jing. Lan Jing smiled.

"Eh, eh," several uncles replied excitedly.

Lan Jing looked at them again, "Let's talk, we have to get out of the way." ”

"Okay," they nodded and followed Lan Jing to the side of the road.

"Can you tell me now, what are you looking for me?" Lan Jing asked with a smile as she looked at them.

The old man rubbed his hands, "This is a long story...", he said and glanced at Lan Jing and stopped talking.

Lan Jing hurriedly smiled, "It's okay, I have time, you can talk slowly." ”

A shorter uncle moved a step, "Big leash, you don't say it, I say." ”

Lan Jing turned his head to look at him when he heard this, he saw Lan Jing's gaze fall on him, he was slightly uncomfortable, his eyes rolled around and didn't know what to look at, and finally lowered his head, and said quickly in his mouth: "My lord, that, seeing that spring plowing is coming, we all have to store water and cultivate the fields." ”

"And then?" Lan Jing asked when he saw him pause.

"And then," said the uncle, clenching his fists, "the yellow man went too far, and he had the family cut off the river, causing the fields downstream of us to crack with parchment. ”

"Well, shouldn't you go to the village chief to talk to him?" Lan Jing was a little puzzled, why did she find her in such a small civil dispute.

Bai Dazhuan, who had just stopped talking, stood up, "I'm the village chief." ”

Lan Jing turned his gaze again, "Is it useless for you to talk to him?"

Bai Dazhuan sighed, "I talked about it more than once, and I also asked the mayor to come out for an interview, but it was useless." ”

"So arrogant, have you reported to the county order?" asked Yang Jiarong.

"The county doesn't care, let yourself find a way, just say that you don't starve to death. However, this missed the spring ploughing, and the harvest was not good. The short uncle said again.

Lan Jing frowned, "Do you know why he's so arrogant?"

He said his cousin was a magistrate in the county. ”

"Has there been anything else he has done to make you angry?" Lan Jing asked again.

The uncles shook their heads, and Lan Jing thought for a moment, "Is it far from here to your house?"

"Not far, from this road, an hour away. Bai Da bolted and said.

Lan Jing took the lead in the lead, and suddenly thought of something and turned back as if he was casually asking, "How do you know to intercept me here?"

"Hehe, my nephew came back and said. The village chief smiled.

"What does your nephew do?" Lan Jing asked again.

"He was on an errand in the yamen, and a few days ago he helped find the missing girls. The village chief said with pride on his face.

Lan Jing smiled, "How long have you been waiting here?"

"I've been waiting for two days, I have breakfast, I took the bread and came out to wait, and I went back when the sun went down. ”

Lan Jing nodded and changed the topic, maybe he was chatting while walking, but he didn't think it was far, even Qin Tongxi, who didn't usually walk much, didn't shout tired.

Before he entered the village, he saw the smoke rising from every house, Yang Jiarong's stomach growled, and he smiled embarrassedly.

The village chief hurriedly said, "Eat first." ”

Lan Jing looked at the sun, and if he went to eat first, he might have to feel the sun go down. Hurriedly said: "Let's go and see the truncated river first." ”

The village chief hurriedly responded and walked to the river with Lan Jing and the others.

The width of the river is only three or four meters, and because of the lack of water, there is only a little trace of water at the bottom, and at most it does not cover the surface of the feet.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, I saw the truncated place, where the sacks of sand and gravel were neatly folded.

Lan Jing took a look, "You go down and get the sack." ”

When the village chief heard this, he hurriedly said, "No need for you, no need for you, don't wet your clothes." As he spoke, he got up late and stepped down on his sleeves and trousers.

Several uncles also hurriedly followed to move, and Chen Xiang and the others looked at Lan Jing and began to roll up their sleeves.

Lan Jing smiled, "The uncles said they don't need you. ”

Several people were stunned for a moment, withdrew their feet that they were about to step on, and seriously stood by Lan Jing's side to protect her.

Before the sacks had been moved, a housekeeper-like man rushed over with more than a dozen housekeepers, he was originally aggressive, seeing Lan Jing's clothes, and then looking at the guards' clothes, he slowed down a little timidly.

Finally, he came over and said, "You, who are you?"

"Come and clean up your lord's people. Lan Jing said lightly.

The housekeeper swallowed his saliva and rolled his eyes, "This thing, this thing, this thing..."

"Go back and inform your lord that if this river is cut off again, I will take his life. Lan Jing's voice was cold, and the housekeeper shuddered in fright.

The housekeeper pulled him, "Butler, do you want to tell the master first?"

The butler paused, then turned and walked back.

After a while, a middle-aged man with a big shoulders and a round waist walked over with the housekeeper.

He was dressed in a royal blue brocade cotton coat, and his white belt was particularly eye-catching on his round belly.

The uncles saw his figure and stopped involuntarily, Lan Jing glanced at him, turned his head to look at the uncles and said, "Hurry up and finish, the weather is cold, don't catch a cold." ”

"Oh oh" The uncles responded and got busy again, Lan Jing turned to look at Huang Yuanwai, who had finally walked in front of her, and said with a smile: "I heard that you have a cousin who is a big official in the county, I don't know how big he is, can he be bigger than this official." ”

Huang Yuanwai has also seen the world in the end, and he didn't dare to make a mistake when he saw the momentum of Lan Jing and a few people, so he hurriedly bowed and admitted his mistake, promising that he would never dare to cut off this river in the future.

Lan Jing tilted his chin slightly, "I'm not afraid of you cutting it off again, as long as you're not afraid of death, you're not afraid of affecting your so-called cousin, you're welcome to cut it off again." ”

Huang Yuanwai shrank a little, he can be here to be windy and rainy is to rely on his cousin, cousin has always told him, don't go too far, don't give him black, he has always remembered.

Thinking of his cousin, he hurriedly and more firmly stated that he would not do it again.

In fact, he cut off the river to store water for his fields, and that's about the same now.

The matter ended like this, and after Lan Jing gave a few more warnings, she left with her people, not even eating dinner.

The village chief looked at Lan Jing who was leaving, and sighed: "What a good official!"

The uncles hurriedly echoed, "It's rare in a hundred years." ”

………

Lin Chu sent the news the day before yesterday, and then waited for two days to wait for Lan Jing, and when he saw the people getting off the carriage, he immediately strode over, "Xiao Jing, why are you so late?"

"On the way, I was stopped by a group of uncles, and the river in their village was forcibly seized by rich outsiders, and they couldn't find anyone to administer justice, so they came to me. ”

"What do you care about? Luo Xiaofan muttered quietly, his face full of unhappiness.

Lan Jing glanced at him and asked Lin Chu in a low voice, "What's wrong with him?"

"Dynamite?" Lin Chu tilted his head sideways, "What is that? Is it delicious? Senior Brother Luo shouldn't have eaten it." ”

The corners of Lan Jing's mouth twitched, "It's delicious." After saying that, he didn't look at them and went straight inside.

Master Lu Lu Xuan stood at the second gate, and when he saw Lan Jing coming up, he hurriedly bowed his hand.

Lan Jing returned the salute, "Master Lu, I'm here to disturb again." ”

"You're kind to the inside, please. Lu Xuan made a gesture of please.

Lan Jing smiled, "Master Lu can go and get busy first, I'm familiar with it here, so I don't need to lead the way." ”

Lu Xuan was stunned, "Then I'll retire first." ”

Lan Jing watched him walk away, and then turned around and walked towards Kelaiju, and before he took two steps, Yang Jiarong's stomach growled.

"It's been called several times, and if you don't give him food, he'll starve to death." Qin Tongxin smiled.

Yang Jiarong glanced at him with disgust, "Say it as if you're not hungry." ”

Qin Tongxi hurriedly covered his stomach, "I'm hungry, I'm so hungry that I'm about to faint." ”

Lan Jing shook his head and said to the snow sculpture: "Snow sculpture, you go to the kitchen to see, if there is anything to eat, let me send it to the yard quickly." ”

The snow sculpture took the order, and the footsteps walked quickly.

Entering the guest house, each looking for a place to sit down, Lan Jing was the first to speak, "Where are those girls now? Where are the people who were caught now?"

"Xiaojing, you can't take a break, ask this again tomorrow?" Qin Tongxin said.

"Think of it as small talk," Lan Jing replied casually.

Lin Chu sat next to Lan Jing, he gave Lan Jing a cup of tea, and moved the pastry next to her, "Eat first, don't be hungry." ”

Yang Jiarong pursed his lips, "I'm the hungriest one, Xiao Jing is not hungry at all." ”

Lan Jing picked up a piece of millet cake and put it in his mouth, and after eating, he licked his lips before saying, "Who said I'm not hungry, I just don't shout." ”

When Lin Chu heard this, he stood up and moved all the other pastries.

"There is no humanity of the opposite sex. The three of them said in unison.

………

Myeongyang County

Qian Shouhan sat motionless in the study since he read a few confessions sent by Lan Jing.

He felt that all the strength in his body had been drained, and that petty and gentle woman turned out to be so vicious behind her.

She wanted to murder his concubine more than once, and used his official position more than once to do some shady business.

What should he do with her? And Kiki, is there any idea in this?

"Master, the eldest lady heard that you haven't eaten for a day, so let the old slave come and ask, but it's uncomfortable. ”

Gao's mother's voice came from outside the door, Qian Shouhan paused, this is the person left by his wife,

Thinking of his wife, he couldn't help but think of her dignified and noble appearance, she was an upright and kind person, whether it was for his concubines or concubines, she had never been harsh.

Before she could answer, Gao's mother raised her voice again: "Master, are you okay?" Miss asked the old slave to send you bird's nest porridge, if you don't like it, the old slave will take it away. ”

Before her words fell, the door opened, Qian Shouhan's face was gray and decadent, he looked at the porridge in the tray and swallowed unconsciously, "Bring it in." ”

Gao's mother hurriedly responded, and did not forget to express her young lady's concern and concern for him to Qian Shouhan while walking.

…………

The next day, Lan Jing rushed to the mansion together, and with her were Lin Chu and Qin Tongxi.

When they arrived at the mansion, Bai Zijian, the commander of Pingyang County, was already waiting at the door. He stepped forward and saluted, and led Lan Jing to the prison.

For his nonsense, Lan Jing still thinks highly of him.

The prison in Pingyang County is very similar to that in Mingyang County, so when Bai Zijian said that he was on death row, Lan Jing roughly knew the direction.

When the yacha guarding the door saw Lan Jing and a few people, he quickly knelt on the ground and saluted.

Bai Zijian waved his hand, and Yacha hurriedly stood up and opened the iron door.

Lin Chu looked inside and grabbed Lan Jing, who was about to walk in front, "I'll go first." ”

Although Lan Jing didn't think it was necessary, he still nodded.

There are not many people on death row, there are three or two, and Yang Shanquan is locked up in the innermost.

When Lan Jing walked over, he was lying on his side, his face facing inward.

Yacha knocked on the iron frame with a knife, "Yang Shanquan, my lord is here, why don't you come and salute quickly." ”

After a long while, he still didn't move, Lan Jing said: "Open the iron door and go in to see what is wrong with him." She had a bad feeling in her heart.

Sure enough, Yang Shanquan died and died of poisoning.

Lan Jing's eyes narrowed, and a trace of cold light swept over Bai Zijian, who was expressionless. She didn't think a prisoner could kill himself by poisoning.

The corners of Bai Zijian's mouth raised slightly, and he immediately pressed it down.

Lan Jing's heart was full of anger, but her face was not obvious, she glanced at it lightly and then turned to leave.

Qin Tongxin has a natural sensitivity to officialdom, he glanced at Bai Zijian, "It's best to investigate it carefully, even if you are a death row prisoner and you die in prison, you are also a heavy responsibility." ”

Bai Zijian paused for a moment, how could he not know this, but he didn't have a choice, I heard that the people of Lingshan County had been forced to ask out, if this was forced to ask anything again, his family's life would be gone, besides, it was better than saying that the prisoner had run away.

After Lin Chu glanced at Yang Shanquan's corpse, he quickly caught up with Lan Jing, "It's Heding Hong." ”

Lan Jing nodded, "It doesn't matter what it is, who let him die is the point." ”

After speaking, he turned to look at Wang Qiang and Zhang Biao and said: "The order will go down, and the cadres will be detained and tried separately, and you will supervise this matter." Don't make a mistake and see if there's any clues. ”

"Yes," the two of them replied.

Qin Tongxi approached Lan Jing, "Do you suspect that Lord County Guard?"

Lan Jing glanced at him, "You think he shouldn't be suspected?"

"It should be, but why did he do it?" Qin Tongxin asked.

Lan Jing looked in the direction of death row, "I'll have to ask him about this." ”

As soon as they finished speaking, Bai Zijian walked over, "The lower officials are derelict in their duties and are willing to accept the guilt." ”

Lan Jing looked at him, "Your crime is not something that this official can convict, and when everything is clear, this official will pay attention to the emperor one by one, and then the emperor will convict him." ”

Bai Zijian said yes, and stood up unsteadily.
