Chapter 40: Bending the Knees and Asking for Help

The laws of the Jin Dynasty were strict, and the crime of stealing was lighter than the crime of murder, but if you really offended a big man, a thief was even worse than a murderer.

Because their hands will be broken, and even their legs will be broken, and being able to save their lives is the greatest luck.

Hua Jincheng sat in the carriage, her already bloodless cheeks became even paler, she clenched her fingers tightly, her fingertips were pale, and the nails of her thumb were deeply embedded in the flesh, leaving deep marks.

"Miss."

Pear took her hand, "If you pinch it again, it will bleed." ”

Hua Jincheng came back to her senses at this time, and the strength in her hand suddenly loosened, and at the same time, this action seemed to take away the strength of her whole body.

She leaned back against the car, closing her eyes and trying to calm herself.

"Pear ......"

"Miss." Li'er was also a little scared, but she insisted that she would not be afraid, because it was Miss.

"I'm sorry." Hua Jincheng spoke.

Pear was stunned for a moment, and then tears rolled out of her eyes.

"I shouldn't be angry with you, I'm too anxious, don't be angry."

Hua Jincheng continued, she opened her eyes and looked at the car curtain, her eyes scattered.

She said, "If something happens to Xiao Liuzi, I will go crazy." ”

A simple elaboration, without any emotion mixed in.

But Li'er understood, she held Hua Jincheng's cold hand, "Little Liuzi will be fine." ”

"I'll be fine."

"So Miss should be good, only if you are good, we will be good."

Pear sniffed, her voice low but firm.

They all revolve around Miss, and only Miss's safety is their greatest blessing.

The carriage stopped in front of the government.

Hua Jincheng was carried by Li'er to the door of the mansion.

The official guarding the door looked at the two and was stunned for a moment, but he didn't say anything.

"I'm tired of the two big brothers, Hua Jiajincheng, visit the county master."

Hua Jincheng bowed slightly, and his white and pointed chin showed a hard arc.

The two were stunned for a moment, and then one of them said, "Miss Jincheng, please wait a moment." ”

The Hua family is one of the best families in Jiangcheng County, and the fourth master of the Hua family is still an official in the court, so they don't dare to slack off at all.

Hua Jincheng thanked him, and then stood next to Li'er.

In her previous life, she had never stepped into the county government, saying that there was no reason to step in, but it was better to say that she didn't bother to enter such a small place at all.

The eyes are above the top, self-righteous, the longer Hua Jincheng lives, the more she feels that her past self is unbearable, and it is no wonder that Li Lie can turn her around.

"Pear, what time is it today?"

"Miss Hui, it's twenty-one." Li'er replied obediently.

Hua Jincheng was silent for a long time, and when she heard footsteps coming from inside the door, she exhaled softly, "Summer is almost over." ”

"yes."

Li'er didn't understand what Hua Jincheng meant, but she still responded.

"Jincheng girl, my lord, please."

The official made a gesture of please, and his tone was more respectful than before.

Hua Jincheng couldn't think of a reason for the time being, so she didn't think much about it, she bowed slightly, raised her hand and took off her hood, "I'm tired." ”

Li'er stepped forward, took out two ingots of silver from the money bag and handed them to the two of them, "Thank you, two poor masters." ”

"This ......" The two looked at each other, not knowing whether to accept it or not.

"Please lead the way." Hua Jincheng didn't give them a chance to refuse.

"Miss Xie Hua." The two looked at each other, then put the money away.

Entering the gate, bypassing the screen where the tiger descended the mountain, it was the public hall, that is, the place where the county magistrate tried the case on weekdays, Hua Jincheng glanced at the neatly placed killing stick, his face turned a little whiter, and the coldness in the black pupils also quietly spread even more.

"Girl, please come here."

The official didn't understand what she was looking at, so he reminded her.

Hua Jincheng retracted his gaze, his face was flat, and he didn't make the slightest wave.

When I arrived at the back hall, the county lord in civilian clothes was already waiting.

"Miss Jincheng, a rare guest."

"Your Excellency."

Hua Jincheng bowed slightly, "It's okay for adults to call me Jincheng, and I will come to disturb without saying hello in advance, and please don't be surprised." ”

"Where, Jincheng, you can come, my small place is full of flowers."

The county magistrate of Jiangcheng County, surnamed Lin, named Haoshan, the word Dendrobium, has a thick face, moderate fat and thin, and has a sense of intimacy when he laughs, and even has the elegance of a literati between his gestures, and there is no bureaucratic style and superiority.

"Adults are busy with affairs, so Jin Cheng will make a long story short."

"If you have something to say, you might as well say it." Lin Haoshan's face was grim, and he stretched out his hand to signal Hua Jincheng to sit down.

Hua Jincheng pursed her lips, she knelt on the ground, "The people's daughter wants to avenge her grievances." ”

"Justice?" Lin Haoshan's heart trembled, and then he thought of the servant who was imprisoned, "Are you here for the sake of Xiao Liuzi?" ”

"The adults are discerning, Xiao Liuzi is a person close to the people's daughter, like a brother and sister, he will never steal the people's daughter's things."

Hua Jincheng said earnestly, "Please also let the adults go." ”

"It's not that I don't agree to this matter, it's just that the case is certified and the physical evidence is there, and this is what your parents personally sent people over, if you release them......" Lin Haoshan was really embarrassed.

The evidence is conclusive, and even if he wants to overturn the case, there is nothing he can do.

"My lord, Xiao Liuzi's people's daughter is still trustworthy, and the people's daughter naturally knows that it is impossible to let the adult release her with just a few words, so the people's daughter asks the adult to give the people's daughter three days, and within these three days, the little sixth son will be bothered by the adults to take care of her."

Hua Jincheng supported the ground with both hands, and he was about to kowtow and beg for help.

"Miss Jincheng, please get up quickly."

Lin Haoshan sighed in his heart, and hurriedly helped the person up, "You worship, this official can't stand it." His face was a little worried, and he let go of Hua Jincheng, and then took a few steps back, "Xiao Liuzi did not admit his guilt, so he can't be convicted, as long as the girl can find out the truth, then the official will release him and return his innocence." ”

Hua Jincheng's eyes lit up slightly, "I'll find evidence." ”

She bowed to say goodbye, and Li'er also saluted, following closely behind Hua Jincheng.

"This kindness, Jin Cheng remembers, and he will definitely repay it in the future."

Hua Jincheng stopped, tilted his head slightly, and his tone was flat.

Before Lin Haoshan could say anything, she had already disappeared around the corner of the door.

"This woman ......," Lin Haoshan frowned.

"If there is no presiding officer of the Five Buddha Temple, what is she? When you say such a big thing, you are not afraid to flash your tongue. ”

A girl in a yellow shirt behind the screen walked out slowly, "Dad, are you really going to help her?" That little guy is also a hard-headed person, and he was beaten like that, but he didn't let go. ”

"I thought it was just a servant, but I didn't expect this girl to value him so much." Lin Haoshan sighed, "Don't act rashly, having a host to help her speak, that's her greatest ability." I'm going to go to prison, men are everywhere, if you offend Hua Jincheng ruthlessly, your father won't be able to save you. ”

Lin Haoshan glanced at the girl coldly, where was the gentleness just now.

"Got it."

The girl pouted, but she didn't care in her heart, Hua Jincheng, I don't believe I can lose to you!
