Chapter 180: Yan Returns
He had no choice but to stubbornly say with professional sensitivity: "The adults are aware that the students feel that there are loopholes in their rhetoric. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info one, according to what this girl said, the masked man is Tang Yun, and Tang Yun is a weak scholar who has no power to restrain the chicken, but Chu Daxia is strong in martial arts, how could Tang Yun and the coachman escape? Second, if Tang Yun wanted to harm Lin Xiaohan's three brothers and sisters, why did he write to Han Gongzi in advance (he didn't dare to call him by his name at this time), how could he not know that Han Gongzi would expose his conspiracy when he arrived at the Lin family and make him unable to succeed? Third, Han Gongzi and his subordinates all have martial arts and ride horses, how can they not track the traces of those two? These three points do not make sense. Fourth, after the accident, why didn't the Lin family come to report to the official? Now that the Lin family is fine, but Tang Yun has disappeared, the students think that he is afraid that he has been poisoned. Human lives are at stake, and adults are asked to investigate them in detail. ”
When Tang Dashan and his wife heard him say that they were afraid that their son had really been killed, their hearts and galls were broken, and they kowtowed vigorously and shouted sadly: "My lord, human life is a matter of heaven, please let the adults be the masters of the people!" Even if my son Tang Yun is wrong, he will not be guilty of death! They are doing this, where is the reason? ”
The sound of "bang" was endless, and after a while, blood was already on the foreheads of the two of them.
The situation turned around in an instant, just now it was the Lin family who sued Tang Yun for murder, and now it is the Tang family who sued the Lin family, Chu Zhao, and Han Guining for murder.
"My lord, human life is at stake, please be aware of it!" The shouting outside the public hall started again, but this time it was a member of the Tang clan.
This case is really full of twists and turns, one moment he sues him, and then another he sues him, which makes people dizzy.
At this time, the sky outside was gradually darkening, and it was already past the end of work, and his stomach was already rumbling with hunger, and Zhu Ming gradually became impatient. Originally, if it weren't for the face of the five hundred taels of silver tickets, Zhu Ming would not have continued to try the case regardless of the time it was almost time to get off work.
It's just that now that Han Guining has been killed, his identity is mysterious, and he has to weigh the pros and cons. Gao Renhe can afford to pay money, but Han Guining's identity may affect his future. Of course, money is important, but the future is even more important. But it would be better if you could get both, how can you spit out the money you have already gotten out?
So he decided to use the word "drag": "All right, you guys get up." The circumstances of this case are quite complicated, and what both sides say has their own reasons, and it is difficult to ascertain and determine for a while. Seeing that it is getting late, the trial will be here today, and the trial will continue tomorrow. Come on, put the plaintiff and the defendant in prison and keep them strictly guarded. Witnesses are to go home for the time being, but are not allowed to leave, and will be summoned again tomorrow morning when they ascend to the court. Retire! ”
In jail? I'm going to be imprisoned in the legendary prison! A scene immediately appeared in front of Xiao Han's eyes: the prison was dark and damp, the ground was covered with straw, and there were rats and cockroaches crawling around, eating bad food and drinking unclean water. There are also the cries and moans of prisoners from time to time, which make people have a nervous breakdown when they hear it.
She hurriedly looked at Han Guining, Han Guining handed her a reassuring look, and arched her hand towards Zhu Ming: "Slow down, my lord, this case has not yet been convicted, why is it in prison?" What if something happens in prison? ”
"Master Han, this official is acting according to the regulations. As for the security issue, the official will send additional personnel to strictly protect it. Please rest assured! Zhu Ming patiently explained.
Han Guining couldn't, so he had to give up, after all, he didn't want to threaten the local parents in person, he would have to mix in this place in the future. But it's hard to say in private.
He whispered to Xiao Han: "I will take care of the cell bosses, so that they don't embarrass you, and I will also protect you secretly, don't worry." ”
"And me!" Chu Zhao said busily.
Thinking that both of them are strong in martial arts, no one should be able to harm themselves. However, in order to be cautious, she still instructed Han Guining to bring her a silver needle. As soon as Han Guining heard it, he understood what she meant. Not only did I not think she was making a big fuss, but I also appreciated her caution in my heart. Because, he himself came out of that environment, if he hadn't been careful enough and Uncle Qian's protection, he would have been on the road a long time ago.
Zhu Ming stood up, nodded to Han Guining, and left in a hurry. His own servants came and pressed both sides into prison.
He Mu watched Xiao Han being escorted into the cell, and a feeling of anxiety, weakness, and resentment welled up in his heart, and his fists were clenched tightly, and his joints were white because he was too hard.
Lin Jincai supported Lixia, Chen held the spring equinox with one hand, and Xiao Han with the other, and his hands were clenched tightly. As soon as they entered the cell, a disgusting smell mixed with musty and various stenches came to their faces, and Xiao Han couldn't help but cover his mouth. The prisoners in the cells I saw along the way were handcuffed and handcuffed, with unkempt hair, ragged clothes, or sluggish expressions, or crazy gibberish. Others threw themselves on the wooden fence and shouted, "I was wronged, let me out......"
In this situation, everyone's hearts felt scared and uneasy, and Tang Dashan even had a feeling of regret, but for the sake of his son, no matter how big the sin was, he had to suffer.
Xiao Han's family has infinite resentment towards the Tang family, especially Xiao Han, who didn't provoke them in a good manner, everything is that they have nothing to do, causing themselves and their families to suffer this unwarranted disaster. Therefore, she was even more determined that her punishment of Tang Yun was not wrong.
The cells of the Tang family and the Gao family are in the innermost, and they are the No. 1 and No. 2 cells next to each other. It was probably Zhu Ming who took care of it in advance, after all, one party gave the money, and the other party had a relationship, so he was happy to do these favors.
The inside was fairly clean, and the corner of the cell was covered with clean straw, and there were no rats and cockroaches in it, which made Xiao Han breathe a sigh of relief.
After the official left, only two enemies were left living next to each other. Li began to scold: God killed, slut, slashed by lightning, going to eighteen layers of hell after death, etc., scolding and scolding, thinking that his son's life and death were uncertain, he cried again.
Chen was angry, so he wanted to fight back. Xiao Han hurriedly stopped her: "Mother, a mad dog barks, don't pay attention to her." You're tired today, so get some rest and have a good day to go to class tomorrow. With this energy, it is better to recharge your energy and think about what to do tomorrow. ”
As soon as Chan heard that she was reasonable, he ignored her. Seeing that no one responded to his scolding, Li felt bored for a while.
"Tomorrow there will be a time for you to cry!" She threatened viciously, and then fell silent.
Tang Dashan is not so optimistic, the letter that Han Guining took out today made Zhu Ming's face change greatly, and his attitude immediately became respectful, nine times out of ten he is a person with status. Without the support and cooperation of the county magistrate, can this lawsuit be won? Also, whether his son is safe or not is what he is most concerned about.
On the Lin family's side, Xiao Han carefully inquired about everyone's physical condition, and saw that although everyone looked worried, their spirits were okay, and it was probably Han Guining's behavior before that gave them spiritual sustenance.
Not long after, a jailer led a man carrying a large bag of things to Cell No. 1, which was the cell where the Lin family was located.
"Brother Han Chun, it's you!" Xiao Han and the others were pleasantly surprised.
"Well, I will send you some food and quilts on the orders of my son, I am afraid that you will be cold at night." After speaking, Han Chun took off the big burden on his shoulders and handed it to them, and then handed over the bamboo basket in his hand.
Xiao Han and the others took the burden and opened it to see that there were two brand-new quilts inside.
"Han Gongzi is really careful, I'm afraid that we will be cold." Rao is Chen is in prison at the moment, and he can't help but smile on his face. And he glanced at Xiao Han meaningfully.
Xiao Han was embarrassed by her, and coughed: "Count him as a friend enough, I'll come up with more good ways for him to make money when I go back." ”
Han Chun also smiled: "Isn't it, as soon as Childe went back, he hurriedly asked his subordinates and others to prepare these things, this is a piece of Childe's heart." ”
He took out a small paper bag from his sleeve and handed it to her: "Miss Xiaohan, this is what the son ordered to give you." ”
Xiao Han took a look, and it turned out to be the silver needle he asked for before. Look at the paper and there are still a few words written on it: Don't worry, everything has me. Han.
Everything has me, Xiao Han silently recited this sentence a few times in his heart, and his previously uneasy heart settled down, and said with a smile: "Mother, I'm hungry, let's see what's delicious in it." ”
Everyone's eyes were focused on the bamboo basket, and when they opened it, Xiao Han and the others were stunned. It turned out to be a large pot of steaming rice noodles, with chopped green onions floating on the oily noodles, and three small plates next to it, containing thinly sliced barbecued pork, peanuts, spicy cabbage, and a few empty bowls.
Everyone's hearts suddenly warmed, especially Xiao Han, who felt that his eyes were astringent, his nose was sour, and the slightest discomfort he had felt for Han Guining had disappeared without a trace.
From being arrested as a murder suspect in the village, to being slandered in the court, kneeling so numb that my legs were numb, I was frightened for an afternoon, and then I came to this cold and damp cell.
Holding the rice noodles, everyone felt that the palms of their hands were hot, picked up a few with chopsticks and put them in their mouths, chewed and swallowed slowly, and finally drank all the soup, and suddenly a warm current flowed into the limbs and bones, dispelling the coldness in their hearts.
This bowl of rice noodles is kindness and love!
Let everyone in the Lin family remember it, and many years later, they will still recall the sweetness of this bowl of rice noodles, and they will still feel that this is the best rice noodles they have ever tasted.
Tang Dashan and his wife in cell No. 2 were very jealous when they saw someone bringing quilts and food to the Lin family. Li pretended to be disdainful and said: "What is so rare, our in-laws will also send it to us, and it will only be better than this." ”
No one paid attention to her, only the sound of eating rice noodles with a "swoop" and the aroma constantly burrowing into their noses, which made the couple feel even more hungry.
After a while, it was the previous jailer who came over, still carrying a basket in his hand, Li Shi was overjoyed, quickly stood up, rushed to the gate, and asked, "Official, has someone brought us food?" ”
The jailer nodded, handed them the basket and left. Li Shi opened it and looked at it, stunned. I saw two bowls of rice, a plate of green vegetables, and a bowl of vegetable soup inside. This was too far from what they expected, they thought that the Gao family was so rich, they would definitely send them big fish and meat, so that they could also anger the Lin family.
"Hey, that official, wait a minute! Hey......" Li quickly shouted.
When the jailer heard the shouting, he turned his head and saw Li waving at him, and a look of impatience appeared on his face. But thinking of what was explained above, these two people seemed to have something to do with each other, so they reluctantly walked back and said impatiently: "What's the matter?" ”
"Official, are you mistaken, this meal is too simple, it can't be ours." Li said with a smile.
"Mistaken? Simple? This is a meal that was specially taken care of by the above. Look at the steaming rice, the freshly fried greens, and the vegetable soup. If you look at what the other prisoners are eating, the food is rancid, and there are a lot of stones and sand in it. Be content, you guys! The jailer said with a straight face.
When the Li family heard this, they made this dish, didn't Gao Renhe send someone to deliver the food?
"Official, did someone send us something just now?"
The jailer shook his head and said, "No, if you don't have anything else, I'll go." ”
"Oh, it didn't come, let's wait, my in-laws will definitely give it to us."
Li said loudly in the direction of cell No. 1, and the word "definitely" was bitten very hard, as if he was taking an oath.
Because of this determined mind, neither Tang Dashan nor the Li family touched the simple and crude meal, although their stomachs were already rumbling.
But the two of them waited and waited, and an hour passed, and two hours passed, and still no one came. The two of them were so hungry that they couldn't hold back any longer, so they had to pick up the meal that had been cold that morning and eat it.
The rice was cold and hard, and the greens were so salty that the two had to gulp down the soup. But the soup was also cold, so the two of them only ate half a bowl and couldn't eat anymore.
Why didn't Gao Renhe bring them food, and there was no news coming, could it be that they had already given up on the Tang family, or did they give up Tang Yun, the prospective son-in-law.
No, Tang Dashan hurriedly comforted himself, they also signed a note before, in black and white, it was all a certificate, and it could not be denied.
Maybe they were planning and discussing countermeasures for this lawsuit, so they forgot to deliver food, Tang Dashan comforted himself.
*************
Gao Fu, Gao Renhe paced back and forth in the study, looking anxious. It turned out that in the evening, the person sent to the yamen to inquire about the news came back and reported to him in detail about the trial. Special mention was made of the letter Han Guining took out, and Zhu Ming's expression and attitude changed.
Could it be that this surname Han has a great background? Gao Renhe thought uneasily, it must be yes, it can make the county lord's attitude become respectful, what else can it be besides power. Such a person with a background is not something that a small businessman can fight against.
But, no, isn't he the owner of the guest house? Would a powerful person with a background come to such a small town to do business?
This thing is too unreasonable, but Zhu Ming shouldn't be mistaken. Unless he came here for some particular purpose. What was it, what was there about it that attracted him?
Gao Renhe was pondering, and the next person came to report, and the lawyer asked to see him.
Gao Renhe ordered to hurry up. After the lawyer visited, he said the story in detail again, of course, omitting the words that Xiao Han scolded him. Being insulted in public by a yellow-haired girl is simply a great shame. He originally wanted to take revenge, but then he saw that things had changed, and Han Guining was standing behind the Lin family, and I didn't know who was standing behind Han Guining. Don't act rashly and wait until you inquire clearly.
"Master Gao, do you know where this Han Gongzi is?" The lawyer finally asked.
Gao Renhe shook his head and said, "I only know that he just came to this town a few months ago, and he is the owner of Yingkeju, and I heard that he also has properties in several nearby towns. I don't know anything else. ”
"In this way, looking at the attitude of the county master today, I'm afraid this thing is not good!" The lawyer touched the figure of eight nonsense on his lips.
Gao Renhe nodded, indicating that he understood.
"What are you going to do about tomorrow's lawsuit?" The lawyer asked.
Gao Renhe pondered, and his right finger on the table unconsciously knocked on the tabletop, making a low sound, which made the anger in the room even more dull.
After a while, he stood up and said, "It's getting late, sir, let's have a light meal here for the time being, and I will make a decision after I go to visit Master Zhu." ”
After speaking, he called the housekeeper and instructed him to arrange for the lawyer to eat, and he hurried out to the back door of the county office.
Zhu Ming was having dinner in the back house, and when he heard the report that Gao Renhe was coming, he knew why he came, but he was dissatisfied with his ignorance, so he came to disturb his meal at this time, so he ordered: "Let him wait in the living room and serve him tea." "That's not a slack in thinking.
Gao Renhe endured his anxiety and patiently drank two cups of tea, only to see Zhu Ming come with a "general's belly". He did not wear an official uniform, but a homely blue robe, showing the extraordinary intimacy between them.
Gao Renhe hurriedly stood up and bowed. Zhu Ming hurriedly walked over and personally helped him up and said, "Brother Gao, no courtesy." How many times have I told you, we don't have to be so polite when we meet in private. ”
Gao Renhe stood up and didn't dare to say anything, and then handed over an envelope. Zhu Ming knew that it must be a silver ticket, and he was secretly happy in his heart, so he didn't take it out to see it, anyway, it was indispensable.
The two exchanged a few words, and Gao Renhe couldn't help but cut to the chase: "My lord, the villain doesn't beat around the bush and just says it straight, please get to the bottom of it, can the Tang family be sure to win this lawsuit?" ”
"If you don't come to me, I will also send someone to tell you, I am afraid that this lawsuit will be difficult. Originally, according to what we said before, it was a safe thing. But things have changed, and two unexpected people have appeared. ”
"Which two?" Gao Renhe asked knowingly.
Zhu Ming glanced at him, thinking that you would not know, so pretend to be confused. He still said with a serious face: "One is called Chu Zhao, and the other is Han Guining." ”
Speaking of the point, Gao Renhe hurriedly took the opportunity to ask: "What kind of character is this Han Guining, who makes adults so jealous!" ”
Zhu Ming shook his head: "I don't know my real identity, and I don't even know if this name is true." But he's a big figure, and I can't even provoke you if I don't talk about you. ”
