Seeing Xia Feiyan approaching, the prince hurriedly asked, "Xia Feiyan, why are you here?" ”

Xia Feiyan said: "I heard that the prefect of Zhou, who tried the case, was arrested, and I wanted to come to the rescue, but I didn't expect to go to the prefect's prison and see that there was no one inside. ”

The prince said; "He's the dog officer who killed your father."

As soon as Feiyan heard that he was about to cut off Qian Ren's head when he picked up the knife, the prince hurriedly stopped, "You can't just cut off his head, he is a criminal in the court, and his head can only be cut off when the case is heard and convicted." ”

A few people walked back together, and they saw the officers and soldiers brought by the prince from afar, and they were still waiting for them at the bottom of the mountain, and a few people approached, and saw that many trees were tied to people, so they listened to the report of the guards, and all the thieves on the mountain had been caught, and the finances they brought to the mountain were also confiscated, and the property of the whole five carriages was waiting for the prince to fall, and the prince announced that he would bring the criminals and the stolen money back to Kyoto to restore his life.

Zhou Shangshu suddenly said to the prince: "I want to bring a few witnesses, you see how it goes." ”

As soon as the prince heard the witnesses, he blinked, and Lord Zhou explained: "It is the master of Xia Zhi County and a few ordinary people. ”

The prince nodded and the group returned to Puxian County first, and after finding someone, they went on the road again.

When he returned to Kyoto, the prince ordered the prisoners to be sent to the prison of the Criminal Department and their finances confiscated. When Lord Zhou heard that his property was confiscated, he opened his mouth, wanting to say that he had given money to give porridge in Pu County. I was embarrassed to open my mouth to the prince. I was in a dilemma, so I heard the prince say: "I will treat you today and go to the Three Immortal Tower." ”

Lord Zhou wanted to tell the prince about his money and porridge in Sanxian Building, otherwise he would not be able to explain to his wife, and when he arrived in Sanxian Building, several people got out of the carriage, and the prince booked a private room. After taking their seats, Xia Feiyan once again expressed her gratitude to the prince and the governor of Zhou, and toasted separately.

The prince said that he was able to catch Qian Ren this time, mainly because of Zhou Shangshu's credit, and asked Xia Feiyan to toast Zhou Shangshu, and said that Zhou Shangshu used his own Yulu to buy rice porridge for the people of Pu County. Xia Feiyan heard that Zhou Shangshu also gave up porridge and excitedly toasted Zhou Shangshu with another cup, and then the master toasted a cup, and the prince also toasted a cup. In the end, Zhou Shangshu didn't know how many cups he drank, and he didn't know how he got home, so he woke up and lay on his bed, got up and freshened up, went to the canteen to eat, and when he entered the canteen and saw the empty dining table, he wondered, he had already started eating at this point, why didn't he open at this time.

called Yahuan Xiaomei over and asked, "Why don't you eat yet?" ”

Xiaomei said hesitantly: "Mrs. said that there is no rice in the pot."

"There is no rice to put in the pot, but you can buy rice," Zhou Shangshu said angrily.

"Madame said she didn't have money to buy rice."

"How can I have no money, won't I give her all my money?"

"Madame has taken it to pay off the bill, and the shopkeeper of the rice shop came to ask for the account today, which is the rice money you gave to save the refugees."

"Let the lady go to the credit rice again, and pay the bill next month when she has the money."

"Hmm," Xiaomei replied. And he went out.

Zhou Shangshu looked at the sun, it was not early, and the case of Xia Zhixian was going to be retried today, and the prince said that he would also hear it. Hurriedly put on court clothes, didn't eat, rushed to the lobby of the criminal department, entered the lobby and saw that he was sending himself, the prince and a few witnesses had already arrived, and they were busy sitting in front of the bookcase, and they patted the shocking wood, and passed Xia Feiyan to the hall, Xia Feiyan knelt down and presented the form, Zhou Shangshu looked at the situation, and ordered someone to bring Qian Ren to the lobby, Zhou Shangshu patted the shocking wood, Qian Ren, Xia Feiyan, the daughter of the county magistrate this summer, accused you of being corrupt and perverting the law, and harming Zhongliang, you are guilty, Qian Ren saw Xia Feiyan, that regret! He has always been ruthless, cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, so he left a scourge.

So he denied it: "The minister has always handled cases impartially, and he has never harmed Zhongliang." ”

See that he does not admit it. Governor Zhou asked a few people to witness a statement, and several people told all the deeds of Xia County's order in Pu County for five years. I also took out the Ten Thousand People Fold.

Qian Ren still didn't admit it, and said that it was Xia Feiyan who bought a few untouchables to talk nonsense. Zhou Shangshu saw that this Qian Ren was the master who didn't cry when he didn't see the coffin, and hurriedly took out Qian Ren's threatening letter to Xia Zhixian, asked the master to read the threatening letter in front of the court, and let several people read the handwriting, and also took out the letter from Qian Ren to the emperor at that time to report Xia County's embezzlement of public funds for comparison. In front of a lot of evidence, Qian Ren had to bow his head.

In the end, Qian Ren was sentenced to be beheaded in front of the tomb of Xia County, and his son was also sentenced to behead for robbing people's daughters. Others issue frontiers.

Beheaded by Zhou Shangshu, the place of execution was Pu County, because Xia Feiyan's parents were buried in Pu County, on the day of the execution, Qian Ren knelt in front of the tomb of Xia Zhi County, surrounded by several layers of people outside, some of the people threw rotten vegetable leaves on Qian Ren's head, some threw eggs, some even poured dung, and the people shouted in their mouths: 'Dog official, this is your fate, let your soul atone for the martyrs from generation to generation!'

After the execution, Qian Ren's family collected the body, and the prince and his party returned to Kyoto to restore their lives.

Back in Kyoto, the emperor summoned the ministers, commended Zhou Jin's merits, and named him the prime minister, awarded a yellow coat, plus a thousand taels of silver, Zhou Jin's eyes lit up when he heard that there was silver, and he knew that he had not eaten a full meal for two days, because he took all the silver to give porridge, and the lady said: "The shopkeeper of the rice shop let ten catties of rice on credit, and he didn't save it to eat, and he couldn't even eat it for ten days." I thought that it would be good now, and I was promoted again and had money to buy rice.

I wanted to hurry home to tell Mrs. Sù the good news, the important thing was to hurry back and eat something, I had been hungry for several days, but at this time, the prince pulled him and didn't let him go, saying that he wanted him to have a big meal, he was embarrassed to say no, a few people went to Sanxian Building again, after sitting down, everyone raised their glasses to congratulate Zhou Shangshu on his promotion to prime minister, you must know that the former prime minister has just stepped down, Zhou Shangshu has made a great contribution to the promotion this time, it is natural that this promotion to prime minister should indeed be celebrated, and it is not too much to eat him. A few people came up and asked for the private room, this time the food was a little different from the last time, the last time I ate lobster, this time it was replaced by a large prawn, but I still paid twenty taels of silver, and the distressed Zhou Shangshu inhaled as if he had cut his meat. You must know that these twenty taels of silver are enough to buy rice for your own family for three months.
