The two officials listened to Lord Zimin's instructions and ran to the gate of the mansion to see who was beating the drum and crying out the grievances? The two officials saw two beautiful women in their twenties, and they were dressed very gorgeously.

One of the officials asked loudly, "Seeing that the two girls are dressed beautifully, they must be women from rich and noble families." Why do you two beat the drum and cry out for grievances? ”

Among the two girls, the girl in purple said, "There are two officials who go and report to Lord Zimin." Let's just say Qin. Purple heart and poetry. Ziyan has something important to do, and he must meet Lord Zuo Cheng. ”

The two officials looked at the dress of the two girls, and they were very puzzled, what grievances would these two girls have?

The two servants walked briskly back to the lobby. One of the officials clasped his fists and said to Lord Zimin: "Tell your lordship, it is two beautiful girls beating drums and crying out grievances. The two of them reported their names and said that one of them was Qin. Purple Heart, the other is called Rushi. Purple smoke. also said that there was something important to meet Lord Zuo Cheng. ”

Because Lord Zimin also walks around privately with the first and second honors on weekdays. Qin'er and Rushi privately want to call him Uncle Zimin. So Lord Zimin is a little puzzled in her heart, what kind of trouble did these two girls come to Greentown all the way to make trouble! Why is the little girl so ignorant of the rules!

Lord Zimin loudly ordered the two officials, "Go and let the two girls come in." The two Ya Ling ran again to ask Qin'er and Rushi to come into the lobby.

When Qin'er and Rushi saw Lord Zimin, the two of them clenched their fists and bowed their heads, just about to speak. I only heard Master Green Mountain say: "You two little women, do you understand etiquette or not, why don't you kneel when you see Lord Zuocheng?" ”

didn't wait for Qin'er and Rushi to respond. Master Zimin glared at Master Green Mountain, and said reproachfully: "You have eyes that don't know Taishan, the two girls standing in the hall. It is the daughter of the first and second honors: the county lord of Qin and the county lord of Rushi, what are you shouting! Frightened the county lord, can you afford it? ”

Master Green Mountain was red-faced and red-eared by Lord Zimin's words, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore. Qin'er clenched her fists and said to Lord Zimin: "My lord is above, let me elaborate." Today, my sister and I are here for business. We came to Greentown because we were coming to a friend's wedding. In the past few days, Rushi and I have heard and witnessed that some people have been humiliated and punished. It can be seen that this dead Greentown Chengzun must not be a good official who loves the people like a son. ”

When Lord Zimin heard Qin'er say this, her brows tightened. He said softly: "Lord Qin, you can't affirm or deny whether this dead city lord is a good official or a bad official based on the only few things you have seen. Do you have any credentials to elaborate on? ”

At this time, Rushi opened her mouth and said: "I dare to ask my lord, once this is related to a murder case, does Chengzun himself have the power to kill the prisoner?" Do I need the approval above? Is the sale of this salt uniformly distributed by the imperial court, or can individuals be allowed to buy and sell private salt? ”

Lord Zimin stroked his beard when he heard this, and said, "This case is a matter of human life, of course, there must be an approval from the imperial court. Seongzun did not have the authority to order the beheading of the prisoner without permission. This salt is uniformly distributed by the imperial court to designated business establishments in various places, and individuals are not allowed to buy and sell. ”

Qin'er said: "Lord Zimin, you can visit everywhere in person, and you will know that the two decrees mentioned by Fang Rushi have been ignoring the law for many years!" He has been dealing with death row prisoners without authorization! He has also always colluded with the wealthy businessmen of Greentown to sell illicit salt and make profits from it! ”

When Lord Zimin heard Qin'er say this, the expression on her face did not change much. He looked at Master Green Mountain out of the corner of his eye, and he found that Master Green Mountain's face had changed greatly at this time, which was very unnatural.

Lord Zimin said to Qin'er and Rushi, "You two came to Greentown a few days earlier than me, and you both heard about some nonsense. None of this can be taken seriously, you know? Evidence, I want evidence to know? You two don't have proof, that's bloody mouth, nonsense! ”

Qin'er smiled and said slowly: "My lord, we naturally have evidence, both human and physical evidence. But shall you allow us three days? The case will not be tried for three days: after we have collected the evidence, everything will be decided by you! ”

Master Zimin said, "What if you don't collect any evidence within three days? ”

Qin'er and Rushi said in unison: "Then let the adults deal with it!" ”

Lord Zimin replied slowly, "Okay. Three days is three days. If you two don't collect evidence after three days, I'll be court-martialed! ”

Qin'er and Rushi happily replied together, "Okay, my lord." A gentleman's word, the four horses are difficult to chase! Let's make a gentleman's agreement with you! ”

Master Zimin laughed and said, "Yes, gentlemen's agreement. ”
