CHAPTER XXXI
Xu Huan didn't speak, just leaned on the railing quietly, she knew that Xu Huanqing would not let herself be the concubine of that wicked man. Because in the past ten years in the Xu family's class, Xu Huanqing has treated Xu Huan like her own daughter, although she is materially barren, she has already surpassed her biological father and daughter emotionally.
Xu Yuanyuan also didn't want to marry Zheng Dewang as a concubine, but she didn't want more people to be implicated for herself. So, she thought that she could fight with her luck in that yamen tomorrow to see if she could take Xu Huanqing out of this cell.
Early in the morning of the second day, there was a dense crowd of people standing outside the yamen, you squeeze me to come, I squeeze you, squeezed at the door of the yamen just to get closer to the front, so that it is convenient to see the lively and lively. Liu Yi also mixed in with the crowd, and today he is dressed very simply, no different from ordinary people. The door was bustling, but there was no one in the yamen.
It wasn't until it was almost time for the court to open for review that Zheng Dewang and Chi County Ling came out of the back hall one after another, and Chi County Ling specially ordered the official to move a chair for Zheng Dewang to sit on. In this way, without trial, the people outside the yamen knew the result, and whispered that Zheng Dewang would win the lawsuit. Subsequently, four officials escorted Xu Huanqing and Xu Yuanxuan out of the prison, and the court began to be reviewed.
I saw the officials on both sides hammering the ground with killing sticks, and shouting weakly in their mouths: "Might~Martial~"
Chi County Ling asked Zheng Dewang according to the process, and Zheng Dewang was ashamed to say those things that didn't exist.
After speaking, Chi County Ling Du glanced at Xu Huanqing and Xu Yuanxuan, cleared his throat, and said solemnly: "Xu Huanqing, you also heard what Master Zheng said just now, let me ask you if you have such a thing?" ”
Xu Huanqing knelt under the hall and kowtowed heavily to Chi County, and the sound of his forehead touching the ground could be faintly heard outside the yamen, and said, "Master Qingtian, there is no such thing!" It was that day that Master Zheng was going to be stronger, and he kicked Master Zheng. Half a month later, Master Zheng came to Miaoyin Pavilion to ask for compensation, saying that he wanted two hundred taels of silver, and that's how it happened. But it is definitely not as Master Zheng said, please also ask Lord Qingtian to see it! ”
The crowd outside the yamen was bustling, Liu Yi was squeezed behind, and he couldn't see clearly, so he stood on tiptoe and looked inside, only to see a man and a woman kneeling inside, and the woman's figure was indeed a bit like the woman she had seen in the Rejuvenation Hall before.
The Chi County Commander in the hall leaned on the back of the chair, sat very comfortably, and said comfortably: "Master Zheng, Master Xu said that the matter is not what you said, do you have evidence?" If so, please submit it. ”
I saw the housekeeper beside Zheng Dewang take out a piece of paper from his arms, and from the outside, there were some words vaguely written on it. The housekeeper walked up and spread the paper on the desk of Chi County's order, and said: "Returning to the county official, this is the deed of sale signed by the head of the Xu class when he sold Xu Yuanyuan to our lord that day, please take a look at the county official." ”
Liu Yi heard the five words "county official master", a little disdainful, this small county order was originally for the benefit of the people, how can he afford such a title from the people, and the Chi county order in the hall did not have any unusual reaction when he heard it, it seems that he is used to hearing it, and he is used to being powerful here.
Liu Yi thought in his heart that such a corrupt corrupt official should also think about it and return the world to a blue sky.
The county magistrate of Nachi picked up the deed of sale that the housekeeper spread on the table and showed it to the people in the hall, and said sharply: "Master Xu, the evidence is here!" I see how you quibble! ”
Xu Huanqing looked at the deed of sale that suddenly appeared out of thin air, his face changed suddenly, and he shouted loudly: "Lord Qingtian, someone Xu has not signed this deed of sale!" This must have been forged by Zheng Dewang to frame someone Xu in order to achieve his goal. Please also ask the master of Qingtian to be clear, and return someone to Xu an innocence. After finishing speaking, he kowtowed heavily, and the heavy sound even the people outside the yamen could hear it clearly, and it was very loud.
And when Xu Huanqing got up again, his forehead was already red, and there was still some blood faintly.
Chi County Ling heard Xu Huanqing's defense, but without speculation, he said directly: "This is black and white, how to do it!" In order to survive, you really tell any lies! ”
Xu Yuanyuan, who had been kneeling there without speaking, suddenly stood up, frowned slightly, glanced at the comfortable Chi County Order sitting in the hall angrily, and sneered: "Chi County Order, if this deed of sale is genuine, and you are not afraid of fraud, it is better to just let my master write his name on the paper, and compare it to know whether this deed of sale is real." ”
As for Xu Yuanyuan's move, it caused heated discussions among the masses outside the yamen, and they all said that Xu Yuanyuan was so bold that he dared to stand directly and talk to Chi County Ling. Liu Yi heard the voice, and then looked at the faint side face, he was sure that Xu Yuanxuan was the woman that day.
Chi County Ling didn't pay attention to Xu Yuan, and shouted directly to the officials on both sides: "Come on, Xu Huanqing cheats people of money, the amount is huge, you should be decided!" As for Xu Yuanyuan, since Xu Huanqing received money from others and sold Xu Yuanyuan to Zheng Dewang, it will be returned to Zheng Dewang. ”
Zheng Dewang on the side listened to the verdict of Chi County's order, which was exactly what he hoped for, so he looked happy and shook his legs as thick as pillars like a scoundrel.
But Xu Yuanyuan, who didn't want to stand in the hall, shouted directly in public: "Chi County Order, if you don't give a chance to prove it today, how can this convince the masses outside the yamen, how to convince the people of Yanjing City, how to convince the people of this Yan Kingdom, and how to convince the people of the whole world." The higher he spoke, the more angry his tone became.
Suddenly, flowers exploded outside the yamen, and the crowd was talking one after another.
Chi County Ling was afraid that the scene would become more and more intense and he would not be able to end it, so he said to the official next to him: "Quickly send this unknown Xu Yuanyuan to Zheng Mansion!" ”
The official closest to Xu Yuanyuan stepped forward to escort Xu Yuanyuan, and Xu Yuanyuan took the last opportunity to say: "Chi County Order!" If you ignore the king's law like this, you will lose the hearts of the people! Sooner or later, you, too, will lose your Sacred Heart! ”
Seeing that the little woman under this hall dared to curse herself, Chi Xian Ling's eyes widened with anger, her jaw trembled with anger, and she said angrily: "Someone! Xu Yuan's words are not disrespectful, and the rod is twenty! ”
Chi County Ling didn't care about Zheng Dewang's face, after all, this woman actually incited the people's hearts in the yamen, and cursed herself, and it was already merciful to leave her alive.
Liu Yi, who was outside the hall, couldn't stand Chi County's misdeeds anymore, so he squeezed out of the crowd outside the yamen and said, "Chi County's order, you are so disregarding the king's law, does the saint know?" ”
Xu Yuan heard the prestige, but it was the little gangster Liu Lijun he saw in the Rejuvenation Hall that day, and he didn't think that he was the commander of the Jin Wuwei in the palace, it was really impossible for a person to look good.
Chi County Ling looked at Liu Yi's dress, not like an official, nor like a rich man, so he said arrogantly: "Who are you?" Dare to say this, do you want to receive the same punishment as that woman? ”
I saw Liu Yi take the token on his waist, show it to Chi County Order, and said: "I am the commander of the Golden Crow Guard in front of the emperor, you dare to touch me?" ”
Liu Yi had expected that if the Chixian Commander was really a corrupt official and a bad official as the people rumored, he would not judge the case fairly. If that woman is really Xu Yuanyuan, she will be forced to marry Zheng Dewang. He didn't want to ruin the beauty of a woman he cared about in this way. However, Weifu's visit could not reveal the identity of the emperor, so he wanted to use the identity of the former Jin Wuwei commander to suppress the Chi County Order.
And Liu Yi didn't know that he cared about that woman, but that woman was a little similar to Xu Yanjun when he first met before.
Chi County Ling saw Jin Wuwei's brand, and was a little cowardly, so he said: "I don't know Taishan with my eyes, and I hope that the commander can let go of Zaixia, and I haven't done those things that hurt the heavens and reason, so please let me go." ”
The corners of Liu Yi's mouth were slightly raised, and his eyes were staring directly at Chi County Ling, who was a little panicked, his eyes kept rolling, sometimes looking at Liu Yi, and sometimes looking at Zheng Dewang sitting in the hall.
Liu Yi said in a weird manner: "You didn't hurt the heavens and reason? So what's going on with that case just now, can't it be that people outside our yamen are mistaken? ”
was asked by Liu Yi like this, Chi County Ling knew that this matter would not be easily settled today, Liu Yi wanted him to retry the case, on one side is Zheng Dewang, on the other hand is his official position, neither of which can be treated ambiguously. If you offend Zheng Dewang, your life will be difficult. If you lose your black yarn hat, your income will be gone, and the family's life will be difficult, plus there are so many minions in the Chi Mansion, it will be a lot of expenses.
Now the Chi County Order can only be taken hard, which step can be taken.
Chi Xian Ling pretended to be ignorant at first, put away the high-flying and domineering face just now, stood aside and bowed his waist and said with a smile: "This case is cleared, Master Zheng has submitted the evidence, is there anything that has not been clarified?" ”
Liu Yi saw that Chi County Ling was pretending to be garlic, so he glanced at Chi County Ling fiercely, and said: "Just now Xu Ban Master said that he didn't sign it, and the woman also said that the deed of sale may be fake, why don't you let that Xu Ban Master write a word, compare it, and see if the word is Xu Ban Master's." If so, the Chi County Order is naturally innocent and fair. If not, then it's a bit hard to say. ”
Liu Yi didn't explain, but Chi County Ling knew that if the words were not signed by Xu Huanqing, he and Zheng Dewang would not be able to get off the stage. He suddenly panicked, and a cold sweat broke out faintly on his back, because he knew that the words were not signed by Xu Huanqing at all, but Zheng Dewang found someone to write it indiscriminately, just to frame Xu Huanqing.
Chi County Ling stood there dumbfounded, thinking about what reason to shirk, but he didn't want Liu Yi to call people directly.
"Come on, put pen and ink on paper, and let Xu Huanqing write! I want to see if that word is Xu Huanqing's. ”
Immediately, a servant came up from behind with a tray with a lake pen, Hui ink and rice paper, and walked straight to Xu Huanqing. Xu Huanqing took the pen and did not hesitate at all, and wrote his name directly on the paper, meticulous and neat, vigorous and powerful.
Liu Yi used the deed of sale, and compared it with the words written by Xu Huanqing, it was completely different. The name on the deed of sale was crooked, scribbled to the extreme, without a single pen. If you look at the frame and kerning, you can see that it was not written by one person.
