Chapter 17: Ascension
On this day, before the rooster crow in the early morning, the residents of Guqiao Town had already assembled into a mighty team and went to the Poria County Ya, in order to be present to press Mo Wushuang. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After all, if you want to talk about this little girl's personality and style, the aunts in Guqiao Town have always liked it very much, and now if someone says that she kills someone, they will be the first to accept it.
The moment the two officials opened the door of the mansion, they were frightened by the crowd outside the door, and their legs went weak, and when they looked closely, there were still many people holding banners to cheer for Mo Wushuang.
"Big... My lord, our county government is surrounded by a group of people!"
As soon as the county magistrate got up, he heard a knock on the door of the little guy in the courtyard, and his voice said hurriedly: "It's all for the case of Pang Gongzi in Guqiao Town, you have to come out and take a look!"
This is a big case, the first time that the county commander has encountered a murder tragedy of this scale in his forty years of reign, not only the people outside are curious, but even the county commander himself wants to see who the accused person is.
The same forty years of experience also reminded the county order that the real battlefield had begun, and immediately after the old woman helped to clean up her beard, she walked towards the gate of the county office, and it was a crowd of people who greeted her.
"Everyone present must be a blind date in Guqiao Town, and the official heard that Mo Wushuang is loved by the people in Guqiao Town, and now it seems that this is indeed the case. ”
"It's just that human life is at stake, and everything must be done on business. Although the county government is small, it has a crown of the dynasty and a blue sky on its head! You witness today that this official will definitely enforce the law impartially, and the victim will be handed over to the county order to say this in a grand manner, and the jailer on the side sighed in his heart when he heard it, and he was worthy of being an old oilman who had been mixed with officialdom for 40 years, and everyone present applauded when he heard this.
And when everyone was bustling and lined up the array, they saw a white-faced master walking slowly from the inner courtyard, skimming the crowd in Guqiao Town with an indifferent expression, and then whispered in the ear of the county commander: "Master, the head of the Pang family is here!"
Hearing this, the county commander smiled and nodded, turned around and accompanied the master to hurriedly greet Master Xiang Pang's family.
As soon as I passed the courtyard gate, I saw a middle-aged man in a brocade robe who looked like a military general, rubbing two white jade balls in his huge palms, but with a look of not being angry and arrogant.
"Zhang County Order, you have to judge the case impartially in court today, so that my children can rest assured under Jiuquan!"
On the side, Mrs. Pang opened her mouth with a crying voice with the support of several maids, but Master Pang only frowned and did not stop her.
"Mrs. Pang rest assured, she has been an official for more than 40 years, and now that there is such an incident in Guqiao Town, the county order will naturally investigate the matter and give Master Pang an explanation!"
Master Pang nodded his head when he heard it, and beckoned the little man to resist five boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, and was so shocked that the county commander hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it.
"Master Pang, what are you doing, Young Master Pang has also been valued by his own officials since he was a child, and he will definitely do his duty when he does things, but he will never dare to accept this courtesy. ”
"But I want that Mo Wushuang to die...... Master Pang pressed down the jewelry box, frowned and looked at the county order who wiped cold sweat and said: "No matter what, my son was assassinated, and she has nothing to do with it." ”
The county commander laughed dryly when he heard this, but turned around and took a volume of secret orders in front of Master Pang's eyes.
"Forty years as an official, this official understands the feelings of Master Pang who lost his son, but this case has alarmed the above, and later a senior official from Jiexiu City will come to watch the case from the sidelines, and Master Pang must also be able to understand the official's determination to retire with peace of mind. ”
When Master Pang heard the words of the county order, he could only snort coldly and sat on the viewing chair of the court, and caught a glimpse of the residents of Guqiao Town who were cheering for Mo Wushuang outside the door, smoldering in his chest, and a soft sound actually crushed the wrench in his palm!
How could the county commander and Mayor Lu not see Master Pang's anger, but now it was important to welcome the senior officials of Jiexiu City, so they could only accompany them to fall into a strange silence.
Finally, a few noises outside the door broke the embarrassing atmosphere, and everyone looked at it and saw a strong man in silver armor striding forward, with two black iron whips at his waist, and eight guards guarding him were really majestic!
"Xiaguan (grass people) meet Major General Chi, the captain of Jiexiu City!"
As soon as these words came out, the officials and Mayor Lu hurriedly saluted in the direction of the comer, and the young general turned around and took his seat without saying much, and only then did a few people in the hall dare to sit down.
"You are the county lord here, I don't need to say anything superfluous. ”
The silver-armored general reached out and slammed the iron whip on the ground like a demonstrator, and the people present only felt that the ground shook, and the cold sweat behind his back soaked through the back of his clothes in an instant, but only the white-faced master present was unmoved with a cold face, which caused the young general to can't help but light up his eyes.
"I can't imagine that there are capable people in such a barren place as Poria County, it seems that my father is really good at speaking, and it is indeed better to walk around more than to shrink in Jiexiu City!"
"Qianren! This is Chi Baolin, the son of the old general Chi Gong of Jiexiu City, who is not allowed to see that Qianren's mood is not right, he tilted his head and secretly snorted, and then said: "Since the adults have already come, how about opening the hall now?"
After the words fell, the officials hurriedly moved to the desk, and there were three vermilion incense sticks and a few plates and bowls in the first incense burner, and after slaughtering the black chicken to worship the emperor and the queen of heaven, several people humbly drank the spirits, and immediately wanted to break the wine bowl but heard a "please slow!" from afar and stopped the action in their hands.
It was a slender white-faced young man who shouted, took off his hat and squeezed into the crowd, and his gasping appearance caused the county commander to frown. "Who are you, and why are you blocking the Yamen from opening the case?"
More than 30 people present stared at Huaiying's figure tightly, which caused Huaiying to feel a little nervous, and his speech was chaotic for a while.
"Under is the ink... Miss Mo's old friend, because he has important clues in this case, came to participate in the promotion of this case. ”
The old mayor on the side had scolded the brainless guard many times in his heart since the moment he saw Young Master Huaiying. How do you know that Huaiying also escaped with a lot of effort, and at this time, the strong man of the guard was sleeping soundly on the stone table in the courtyard.
The county order was already irritable about the twists and turns of today's case, and when he just wanted to reprimand Huaiying, he unexpectedly reached out to stop the county order, and then swept Huaiying's waist with a smile on the corner of his mouth and said with a smile.
"I'll interject before this son enters the court, I don't know who you are today's prime minister Yan Liben?"
When Huaiying heard this, he stretched out his hand and scraped the green jade pen on his waist to know that Yu Chi Baolin knew people with things, and immediately took out the token that Yan Liben gave him earlier from his arms and said: "Here is Di Huaiying, the unfilial disciple of today's Prime Minister Yan Liben, who came to Guanguqiao Town with the token of Dali Temple!"
Seeing the sudden burst in their hearts, the county commander and the others hurriedly bowed down and were covered in sweat at the same time, thinking that thanks to General Chi Baolin's block, otherwise I am afraid that today would have hurt the face of the dignified prime minister!
"The lower officials don't know that Di Gongzi is coming, and I don't have a seat to ask for forgiveness!" After that, the official hurriedly carried a sandalwood chair and stood on top of the court, Huaiying saw that he nodded gratefully to Chi Baolin, the captain on the side, and then took the wine bowl and took a sip, and broke the bowl with everyone.
Sitting again, everyone gathered, the drums sounded, the county lord nodded left and right, and finally picked up the startling wood, and the sound of "pop!" resounded through the court, and silenced the crowd outside the hall.
"The auspicious time has come, ascend to the hall!"
