The case of the fourth rank is not something that can be tried by a small county assistant. As soon as the county assistant of Kangde Town arrested and confirmed his identity, he sent people to report to Xiao Zhi County in De County, and naturally, this report was somewhat vague.

Xiao Zhixian changed color when he heard the news, and while sending people to report to the Chen Governor of Jinyang City, he took the officials and rushed to Kangde Town overnight.

After putting people in prison, the county assistant of Kangde Town was waiting for the battle, the door of the yamen was closed, and the cell was also closed, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, whether it was the officer, the arrester, the cell boss or the miscellaneous inside, all of them were locked in the door of the yamen and stayed quietly, even the county assistant himself was among them.

I don't know how many people came to shoot the door of the yamen, and the county assistant pretended to be deaf and dumb and didn't let people open the door. He would do this, just because he didn't want to cause trouble, let alone offend anyone, so he acted under the guise of treating everyone equally, but in fact he was protecting himself from trouble. The Wu family came to ask for someone, his official is not as big as his family, and his strength is not as strong as his family, so he must be released. But it was not possible to let it go, because there were too many witnesses at that time, including the host and many monks, the maids and daughters of the mansions who came from all over Youde County and the family members (the key is the masters who were hiding behind them), and many pilgrims who gathered after hearing the news. He dared to release people, but not only the people did not agree, but even the superiors did not agree. Faced with such a dilemma, he had no other choice.

And in his house, his wife was about to hang herself. There is no other reason, the Wu family in Dexian County is in Kangde Town, the Wu family in Dexian County has not yet come to the door, the Wu family in the town has come to the door, the old and the young, men and women take turns to fight, coercing and enticing her as a woman, just to let her master release people. She was forced to be unable to do so, so she sent the housekeeper to take the Wu family to the door of the yamen, but the yamen still did not open. When the yamen was not opened, the Wu family turned around and continued to grind her into a woman's house, and they didn't let her rest when it was dark.

In the middle of the night, Xiao Zhixian used the official seal to let the soldiers guarding the town gate open the town gate, and hurried to the yamen of Kangde Town with the official servant to call the door.

Knowing that Xiao Zhixian had arrived, the county assistant of Kangde Town was so excited that he almost burst into tears. He straightened his hat and ran out to open the door to greet him. Xiao Zhixian and his party had just entered the door, and the yamen closed the door again.

Xiao Zhixian sat down, and he didn't even have time to drink tea, "You said that there was a fourth-grade member of the DPRK who committed the crime of defiling the women of the good family in Ningyun Temple, what is going on?" ”

Lord Xianfu sighed bitterly and slapped his thigh, "Lord Zhixian, don't mention it, alas! ”

Xiao Zhixian said with a stern face, "What are you rubbing?" Don't talk about it yet. ”

Lord Xianfu hurriedly straightened his face, "Lord Zhixian, here's the thing. At noon today, someone came to shout that something had happened in Ningyun Temple, and someone was killed. The catchers listened to this and hurried over to check. I never thought that the plum forest behind Ningyun Temple was very chaotic, and many people gathered. A man named Chen Guzi cried and complained to the fast catchers, saying that a rich man had arrested his wife and defiled his mother, and asked the yamen to make decisions for him and his wife. ”

Speaking of this, the county assistant pointed to the fast catcher standing below, "You come and explain the situation clearly." ”

The head of the fast catch couldn't shirk it, so he stepped forward and saluted Xiao Zhixian first, and then reported, "Master Huizhi County, when the little ones arrived at the plum forest behind the temple, the abbot and monks of the temple were also there, and the monk was escorting a middle-aged man who was well-dressed. Next to it, there was a disheveled woman looking for death, a man whose head had been broken, and three maids who had been knocked unconscious, and a mother-in-law and a maid tied to the flowers. As soon as the little ones asked, the matter came out. ”

"It was a middle-aged man who was caught by the monks, and he caught the woman who was looking for death and life among the flowers and grass and defiled it. The man whose head was broken was the entourage of the middle-aged man, and he had caught the mother-in-law and maid who had unintentionally broken the matter to kill him, but he didn't want three maids to come over to find the previous mother-in-law and maid, and screamed in fright, which attracted the pilgrims and monks in the temple. ”

"Then Chen Guzi wanted to ask for an explanation, and the little ones grabbed the middle-aged man from the monk's hands. But he didn't want to run over a dozen men who looked like entourage, and didn't let the little ones arrest people. Chen Guzi was angry, and he blocked in front, but was beaten by those entourage. As a result, some of the pilgrims couldn't look past it, shouting that there was no royal law. I don't want this shouting person to be picked out and beaten again by those followers. At this time, someone behind the crowd shouted loudly, 'Do you dare to catch the four grades?' Immediately after that, someone shouted, "This is the second master of the Wu family in Dexian County, and it is the heaven of Dexian County." The little ones panicked. ”

"I don't want to, someone shouted, 'The second master of the Wu family will sleep with whoever he wants, who dares to arrest him?' As soon as these words came out, everyone on the spot changed their faces. The defiled woman was hitting her head into a nearby tree, bleeding from her head. In a fit of rage, the women and young girls present picked stones and threw them at the middle-aged man and his entourage, crying and insulting. The little ones are also affected. ”

He pointed to the bruises on his forehead and the broken skin on his face, and then said, "The little ones saw that the situation was not good, and the entourage of the domineering was also dispersed, so they hurriedly escorted the middle-aged man back to the yamen. And the enraged women and girls chased and beat all the way until they reached the yamen. He still has palpitations when he remembers the women who attacked him in groups.

Xiao Zhixian had a calm face, "Sure...... Identity? The word prisoner, he didn't say in the end.

Lord County Fu waved his hand for Master Wu and the head of the fast catcher to withdraw, and then replied with difficulty, "Yes, it's Lord Wu Zhenjiang Wu." Until now, he didn't dare to say it, but he kept scolding Wu Zhenjiang in his heart: The officials have achieved the four grades, and if you want any woman to carry back to the house, you can use it to shoot at other people's ladies in the wilderness! It's too fucking tasteless.

Xiao Zhixian was also secretly scolding Wu Zhenjiang's mother in his heart. "How are you going to do that?" If he knew that it was such a bad thing, he wouldn't have rushed over in a hurry.

The county assistant was about to cry again, "Lord Zhixian, you can save the little one, the small one is life or death, just count on the county magistrate to guide you." ”

Xiao Zhixian didn't speak. Whoever gets involved in this case is unlucky. Although Wu Zhenjiang was an official outside and soon lived in Jude County, his lustful reputation was outside. If it is said that another four-grade member has defiled a woman from a good family in the wilderness, he doesn't believe it, and thinks straight to the aspect of planting blame. But this fourth-grade senior was replaced by Wu Zhenjiang, and he believed that this was true without any doubt.

The county assistant is also a transparent person, racking his brains to ask Xiao Zhixian to pull him, "Lord Zhixian, Miss Gu has spoken, if you can't get justice, you must be small and good-looking." ”

Xiao Zhixian's gaze immediately changed, "Miss Gu? Which Miss Koo? "I thought to myself, it can't be the aunt he thought!

The county assistant made a bitter face, "...... from Kangxi Town Miss Koo. "He almost brought out the word fierce, if he hadn't reacted on his own, he might have caused some trouble." Coincidentally, today, the widow of General Zhongwu and his beloved daughter went to Ningyun Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha with his beloved daughter and Bai Xianfu's wife. What's even more coincidental is that the mother-in-law and maid who were tied up after breaking through the incident were from the Baixian Auxiliary Mansion. Among the three maids who were knocked unconscious in the back, one of Miss Gu's personal maids. Miss Gu said that her maid could not be beaten in vain. Also, Miss Gu said that as a woman, she hated those men who bullied women. ”

Xiao Zhixian really wanted to sigh, he found out, as long as he got involved with Gu Qingshu's aunt, he would always make a big fuss and get out of control. And the person who stands on the opposite side of Gu Qingshu, that will end ...... Others may not know, but there are reliable people who have spoken to him that there are two reasons for the fall of the Xiao family and Xiao Guifei, one is that he has indeed committed something, and the other is that he has offended Gu Qingshu and the ancient mansion. Gu Qingshu himself does not have the ability to bring down the powerful Xiao family, but the people behind Gu Qingshu can. However, this time it was just Gu Qingshu's maid who was knocked unconscious, she would not be angry with Wu Zhenjiang and the Wu family, I don't know what he thinks inside.

The county assistant looked at the words and felt that there was a door, "Lord Zhixian, you see this matter......"

Xiao Zhixian really didn't want to get involved in this matter, but he was the parent official of Dexian County. The incident happened in Kant Town, and within his jurisdiction, he had no way to avoid it, "The case happened under your rule, naturally you wrote an excerpt and handed it over, do you still want Lord Ben to do it for you?" "The four rank officials, how can they be convicted by these local petty officials. As a matter of course, this matter should be reported to the prefect and the imperial court. Next, before the above people were raised, they were only responsible for properly imprisoning Wu Zhenjiang. And who will be tried and how to judge is whether it is released or judged, and it is not something that these small magistrates can put their beaks in.

The county assistant didn't even dare to say it, but he couldn't figure out Xiao Zhixian's attitude in his heart.

Xiao Zhixian saw that he was worried, and mentioned, "You did a good job." "Get up," It's late at night, and Benzhi County is tired. ”

The county assistant immediately understood, and hurriedly arranged a place to live for Xiao Zhi County, along with the officials who followed Xiao Zhi County. After that, he called the cell boss to explain in person, "The master inside, you have served this master carefully." But there is one thing, if you are watched, no one is allowed to approach except you, and no one can visit, even the officials in the yamen and the arrest are not good. It's going to be a little bit wrong, and you're going to lose your head, you know? ”

The cell boss, who was in his forties, nodded in agreement.

Waiting for the cell boss to retreat, the county assistant lord called the head of the fast catch and the master to him, and also explained, "Tomorrow, as soon as the yamen opens, who will inquire and ask, the only thing you can say is 'just wait for the person to be raised', and you don't know anything else." Furthermore, if the Wu family comes to the door and asks for the release of people, you sue them, 'This county assistant has no right to release people, and you have to listen to the instructions of the above.' ’”

The master and the head of the fast catcher said yes again and again and retreated.

The prefectural assistant couldn't sleep yet, so he sat in the study and picked up the five copies he had written before, read and looked, eliminated three of them and burned them, leaving only two copies spread out on the case, pacing back and forth on the ground. When the day dawned, he finally chose one, and felt that the wording and attitude in it were the most ideal, so he burned the eliminated one again.

As soon as the town gate opened, the two officials left Kant Town with their respective missions. The county assistant lord has a fold to send to the Chen prefect in Jinyang City, and Xiao Zhi County naturally also has a fold to send it to the Chen prefect's office.

As the sky was bright, Qingshu got up to wash, and then ate breakfast slowly. Gu Ye sat opposite Qing Shu with a pair of panda eyes, his face gloomy as if he were mourning. Qing Shu was unaffected and focused on eating.

Gu Ye couldn't eat by himself, and he couldn't see others eating, so he slapped the table, "Don't eat." ”

In the trembling sound of the dishes, Qing Shu raised his eyes lightly, "This is the upbringing of your young lady?" "In the etiquette of the ancients, cups, plates and dishes should be handled with care, and the table should not be patted, especially the table used for eating.

than talking, than reasoning, Gu Ye has never been Qing Shu's opponent. She was angry with you for a long time, and finally asked Qing Shu weakly and softly, "When will you leave to go home?" ”

Qing Shu wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, "What's the hurry?" My maid has been beaten, and she hasn't got justice yet! ”

Gu Ye choked, "You...... Just a minion, is it worth it? ”

"I think it's worth it, and she's worth it." Qing Shu silently added in his heart: It's worth it than you.

Guan Pozi and Xiaoyu silently put away the table and took the food and dishes out. It just so happened that Mrs. County Fu and Mrs. Bai came to their side together.

After Qing Shu invited Mrs. Xianfu and Mrs. Bai to sit down, she stood behind the Gu Ye clan with a demure face.

Mrs. County Fu and Mrs. Bai glanced at each other, and then Mrs. Bai spoke, "Recently, the old man has been in poor health, and I don't know what happened to me after a day and a night." Then he glanced at Mrs. County Fu, "My sister also has a lot of miscellaneous things in the house, and now she is preparing for the marriage of her children, and she can't delay it outside." Taking advantage of the right sun, we are ready to set off for home, I wonder how my sister is planning? This sister called Gu Ye, but her eyes looked at Qing Shu behind Gu Ye. Everyone knows that it is Qingshu who is in charge of the ancient mansion and can make ideas, and the Gu Ye clan is just an ornament.

Gu Ye naturally wanted to go back, but she couldn't call the shots in this matter, so she opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.

Qing Shu smiled lightly and picked it up, "My mother still has something to do, I'm afraid it will be delayed for a long time." Even if there is an urgent matter in the house of the two ladies, it is inconvenient for my mother to force it, so I can only regret that the two ladies ask for a step first. ”

If it was before, even if Mrs. Xianfu and Mrs. Bai had to go first, they would definitely say something beautiful before resigning. No, the two seemed to have reached some kind of consensus today, and they left the inn according to Qing Shu's words, but left the inn in a quarter of an hour.

Gu Ye felt the change in their attitudes before and after, and frowned, "Who are they?" ”

Qing Shu's expression was faint, "They don't want to follow me to offend the Wu family, this is human nature." ”
