Chapter 38: Waiting

The words fell, Song Ci turned around and walked into the house, although these cases are just suspicions, there is no conclusive evidence to prove that these people are guilty, but it also cannot prove their innocence.

Looking at the back of Song Ci leaving, Hou Tianhua said: "A criminal officer of the Criminal Department really regards himself as the director of the Criminal Prison Department?" This official advises you, Song Ci, the water of the Great Song Dynasty, you alone can't make him clear and clear, let's go, just find a small county town to be a magistrate, isn't it beautiful?"

Shushi said: "My lord, does this mean that this Song Ci is no longer in the same boat as us?"

Hou Tianhua said: "He wasn't at the beginning, and he wasn't the next, I said Shushi, since he is not a person on a boat, nor is he a grasshopper on a rope, how do you say this official is dealing with him?"

Shushi said: "My lord, since this is the case, then we have only one way, and that is to bribe, or just do it directly!"

Hou Tianhua was taken aback, "Shushi, are you confused?" This is the Great Song Ti Prison Officer, you dare to kill him, do you believe that the Criminal Department will send someone down within three days?"

“... My lord, what do we do now? Could it be...~ Do you just keep letting him investigate you?"

Hou Tianhua said: "It's not necessary, in this world, there is no one who doesn't love silver, Shushi, if he Song Ci really finds a little bit of a handle, then we might as well give him a few hundred taels of silver, what about this matter, that's it."

"However, if this person really wants to take it seriously, then the official will be sorry, people die for money, birds die for food, it has come to this time, how can this official let him Song Ci cut off my wealth?"

"What the adults said is that this Song Ci will die, not only the adults want him to die, but even the imperial court, I'm afraid there are many people who want him to die!"

Song Ci and the others returned to the house to rest, lit the oil lamp, and the outside of the house was still bright, and the miserable white moonlight shone down, which was very white.

Hou Tianhua and Shushi, under the illumination of the moonlight, Song Ci saw that they had returned to the house.

Qin Xiaoyue said, "My lord, what should we do tomorrow?" It's waiting for these people to come, and ......"

Song Ci said: "We must wait in the Yamen, not only that, but we also have to wait outside the gate of the Yamen] to let the people know that Song is willing to do things for them, even if this Hou Tianhua sees it?"

Lu Sheng said: "The little one also has this intention, my lord, when the time comes, I can go to the street and tell the people, just say that the criminal department will send criminal officers to come, so that they can report their grievances and come to report?"

Song Ci said: "That's fine, Lu Sheng, tomorrow you go with Wenwu, Xiaoyue and Wencheng stay in the yamen, and help Song entertain tomorrow."

"It's my lord!"

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Lu Sheng and Wenwu left, and Song Ci and the three of them also woke up from the house, had some breakfast, and then came to the street.

Inside the yamen, Hou Tianhua and Shushi appeared outside the yamen with stools, and the two sat beside the drums, looking down with blazing eyes.

"Song Tixing, you came early this morning, you are really dedicated, this official is only a little bit a month, but I dare not compare with Song Tixing, or Song Tixing, let's go fishing together, how about it?"

Song Ci said: "I'm sorry Houzhi County, Song has something very important to do, how can he fish with you?" If Houzhi County is free, why don't you sit in the hall and try the first-instance case well?"

Hou Tianhua suddenly laughed wildly and said: "Song Tixing said that he was joking, this official went fishing because he had nothing to do, and in normal times, he tried the case in the Yamen, and he planned to go out to play if he had nothing to do today."

Song Ci said: "In this way, is it okay for Song to wronged Houzhi County?" In that case, what else is there to say? You can leave, Song will not accompany you.

"Hahaha, since this is the case, then it is up to Song to raise the sentence, and the official will not travel today, so it's a big deal to accompany Song Ti to the criminal trial here, I don't know if it's feasible?"

Song Ci said: "Everything is up to you, Song has no right to interfere, and at the same time, someone is going to report the case today, I hope that Houzhi County can enforce the law impartially when the time comes."

"Of course, as the parent official of this county, how can this official not be for the people? Song mentioned the punishment, saying that the official is sometimes too anxious to handle the case, but the official is honest and honest. ”

When the words fell, more than a dozen old women ran over, and they kept patting their asses at Hou Tianhua, very presumptuous.

Song Ci said: "Hou Zhixian, you have played this move several times, aren't you tired?"

"Song Tixing, what do you mean that this official has played several times? Could it be that these people are still hired by the official? Joke, as a member of the imperial court, how can this official do such a bad thing?"

Song Ci shook his head and didn't want to explain, waiting for these people to come.

After a while, the old man who had been beaten yesterday walked slowly on the way to the Yamen, but from a distance, when he found Hou Tianhua at this time, he was so frightened that he immediately turned around and did not dare to go.

At the same time, Lu Sheng and Wen Cheng were also on the county streets, telling everyone that they could go to report to the official, and the criminal officer appointed by the emperor came and could go to report the case and redress their grievances.

So, many people went one after another, but when they found that Hou Tianhua was waiting outside the yamen, they didn't dare at the moment, and reported the county in person, they didn't want to live.

Song Ci has been waiting for a long time, but he still doesn't see anyone coming, and at this moment he understands, there are many people who take care of this Hou Tianhua, otherwise they would have already arrived.

Hou Tianhua whispered: "Shushi, you send someone to take a look around, if any acquaintances in these three cases come, immediately make it for the official."

"It's my lord.

Song Ci also said: "Wencheng, you follow Shushi to prevent him from doing anything evil." "Yes, sir."

With the passage of time, it was soon noon at this moment, and Wen Cheng was not familiar with the county seat, so he had already lost it after a while, and he didn't know where he appeared.

Shushi walked down the street with a quick catch, and they saw two acquaintances, one of whom was the old man who was fishing yesterday, and the other was also related to the three files.

So, they strode over, "Two old things, you are really bold, you dare to report the case when you learn that a criminal officer has arrived, you are tired of it!"

The two old men trembled, they obviously didn't expect such a scene, and today they came to report to the official, but they were arrested by the people of the yamen, which is really a big irony.

"You... We..."

"What's wrong with us?" Shushi laughed wildly, "Boldly Diao people, dare to frame and frame, if it weren't for the county magistrate's discernment, otherwise he would have been wronged by you a long time ago, come here, take it to the west stream and dispose of it."

"Yes!"

"If this matter is done, the magistrate will designate a reward, otherwise, you will wait to suffer together!"

After the wild laughter fell, Shushi watched several officials take the two old men away, he picked up a watermelon from the stall next to him, took a bite, and then threw it to the side.
