Wan An saw the embarrassment of the two people, and said in a somewhat reproachful tone: "Brother Liu insists on going to Jianye, and it is inconvenient for me to force it, but what does it mean to say goodbye?" ”

Liu Yao hurriedly smiled bitterly and confessed: "The two of us are afraid of the kindness of Brother Wan, so we made this decision, and I hope Brother Wan will forgive me!" ”

"It's a long way to Jianye, I ordered someone to buy two fast horses for the two of you to ride, go back to the house and get some coils before leaving!" Wan An said.

Sun Hao on the side was already confused, and asked with some doubts: "Do you know?" ”

Liu Yao smiled and bowed to Sun Hao: "Presumably, this brother is Miss Sun Yi's brother, right?" ”

This sentence made Sun Hao even more puzzled, the other party was just a stranger who had never met, how could he know his sister?

Wan An laughed out loud and interrupted them: "It's a long story! It's a long story! Let's go home first! ”

Liu Yao and Wen Yang had no choice but to follow Wan An to Wan Fu again, and along the way, Wan An kept explaining to Sun Hao how they met Liu Yao and Wen Yan, and introduced Sun Hao to the two of them.

Wucheng County County.

Wan Yu sat on the main seat of the county government hall, and on both sides of the hall stood the officials of Wucheng County, which was very powerful.

He was shackled and could only kneel in the center of the lobby.

I saw Wan Yu slap the wooden table and ask loudly: "Zhou, are you guilty?" ”

Zhou Chu twisted his head away, glanced at Wan Yu with a disdainful expression, and snorted coldly: "Lord Wan is such a big official, what crime do I have?" ”

"I don't know if I'm dying!" Wan Yu didn't buy his account this time, and immediately said to the master in the ya: "List all the crimes in the Zhou Division!" ”

Under the command of the master, the two officials carried a large basket and put it in the middle of the county hall.

The master glared at Zhou who was kneeling under the hall, took out a roll of bamboo slips from the basket, spread it out and read aloud: "Zhou, a native of Wu County, Jiahe was born in the fifth year, committed robbery in the second year of Taiyuan, committed homicide in the fourth year of Taiyuan, committed the crime of robbing the people's women in the first year of Yong'an, beat the villagers in the second year of Yong'an, and committed homicide again in the sixth year of Yong'an, and now he is guilty of robbing the people's daughters, beating the villagers, fighting in the street, and the charges are too numerous to write!" ”

Wan Yu was already impatient to listen, motioned to the master to stop, pointed to the basket of bamboo slips under the hall and said, "Look at it, this basket is full of your crimes, what else do you have to say?" ”

Who knew that instead of having any remorseful looks, Zhou Zhi laughed and said: "It's all about some old sesame seeds and rotten grain, what is the trouble if you want to add to it, you should move me to try it?" ”

Seeing that Zhou was still so arrogant, Wan Yu was really angry now, and immediately shouted: "Someone! Give me twenty swords in court first! ”

"No!"

The two officials had already rushed up to knock down the shackles around the place, and the other two officials were about to go to the back of the circle with the big sticks in their hands.

"Shaft dares!" Zhou suddenly shouted angrily, it seems that Wan Yu is really desperate this time, he actually dares to move the real character, he can't break the skin and flesh when the twenty court canes go down?

Seeing that the rebellious Zhou finally showed a look of fear, Wan Yu was very satisfied, and sneered and looked forward to seeing Zhou after receiving the court staff.

Suddenly, there was a loud shout from outside the county yamen.

"Wait!"

A scribe in a brocade robe hurried into the county office, shouting as he entered.

When Wan Yu saw the visitor, he couldn't help frowning, and said with some displeasure: "Mr. Lu, didn't you see that this official is handling the case?" What are you going to do? ”

The person who came was Lu Cheng, the head of a Lu family branch in Wucheng County.

Lu Cheng walked in and glanced at Zhou who was put to the ground by the officials, and immediately sighed, he knew the notoriety of Zhou, but the marriage between the Lu family and the Zhou family for generations is a grasshopper on a rope, if he doesn't come to protect Zhou, in the future, his Lu family will be in trouble and the Zhou family will also watch from the wall.

"Lord Wan, can I ask my lord to take a step to speak?" Lu Cheng bowed to Wan Yu, who was sitting on the main seat.

Wan Yu snorted coldly and said, "This official is on official business, if Mr. Lu has anything to say, he might as well say it directly in this court!" ”

Lu Cheng looked at the master and the official in the public hall with some embarrassment, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Lord Wan, the Zhou family has already sent someone to Wu County to invite the county guard, I'm afraid the matter will be very serious this time!" ”

Lu Cheng has passed the age of not being confused, and his speech is not completely broken, but he just narrates the matter to Wan Yu, and it is expected that he will naturally understand.

Unexpectedly, Wan Yu's face did not change, he just looked at Lu Cheng under the hall coldly, and said casually: "Lord County Shou should take good care of me when he comes to Wucheng, but I am busy with official business, so I don't need to tell me about such trivial matters, don't delay the official to judge the case!" ”

As soon as he heard Wan Yu's words pretending to be stupid, Lu Cheng was also stunned for a moment, and then pointed at Wan Yu above: "You.... Do you really not know or do you falsely know? ”

"What do you mean by that?" Wan Yu said.

Lu Cheng stomped his feet anxiously, sighed, looked at the surrounding place that was still being suppressed by the officials, and said, "Eh! This time, the people of the Zhou family are really angry, and when the county guard arrives, he will have to pick up your black gauze hat, Wan Yu, Wan Yu! You are smart and confused for a while, how can you catch the circumference? ”

Zhou, who was still lying on the ground, heard that the county guard was coming to save him, and suddenly became even more arrogant, completely without the anxiety of being beaten by the court staff just now, and shouted at Wan Yu in a loud voice: "Wan Yu, now that I have let Lao Tzu go, let's treat it as if nothing happened, otherwise.... Hum! ”

Wan Yu in the hall ignored Zhou's words, he had to hurry up to deal with Zhou's place before the county guard arrived, otherwise when the county guard came, things might change again.

Just thinking about it, the Jiangdong military commander who personally arrested the surrounding area was wearing a suit of armor and strode into the hall, he was the county lieutenant of Wucheng County.

Seeing the county lieutenant coming in, Wan Yu hurriedly asked him, "Did I ask you to pass the witnesses?" ”

Wan Yu pointed to the woman who was molested by Zhou, and brought her to the court to accuse Zhou and add another irrefutable charge to Zhou.

The county lieutenant's face was a little ugly, and then when he saw Lu Cheng standing in the hall, he instantly showed a more complicated look, bowed to Wan Yu, and said, "The lower officials don't dare to pass it on!" ”

"Oh? Why is that? Wan Yu was suddenly puzzled.

The county lieutenant turned his head and looked at Lu Cheng again, wanting to say something, but moved his lips, and finally didn't dare to say it.

Wan Yu was already impatient and scolded: "What is the reason? What is the origin of that woman, you don't dare to pass it on, let you answer the official's words, what do you think Lu Cheng is doing? ”

The county lieutenant turned his heart and immediately said: "That woman is the female dependent in Mr. Lu's house, and the lower officials dare not pass it on." ”

"What? In my house? Lu Cheng's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, not knowing what was going on.

Zhou Zhi, who was lying on his stomach under the hall, was also stunned, looking at the county lieutenant blankly and not knowing what he was thinking, how could he tease the female dependents of the Lu Mansion? The people of the Lu Mansion themselves obviously know each other.

Wan Yu glanced at Lu Cheng with pity, and then laughed and said, "Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu, do you know why I asked the county lieutenant to summon a woman?" ”

"I don't know!" Lu Cheng replied in a very unhappy tone.

"Humph! Ignorance? Then let me speak. Wan Yu's expression was immediately awe-inspiring, and his eyes stared back and forth at Zhou and Lu Cheng: "Today's events are all caused by Zhou Chu's molesting of a good family on the street, someone who saw an injustice and came to the rescue but was beaten and injured by Zhou and his subordinates, and the person who was passed on by the county lieutenant was the good family who was molested by Zhou Chu!" ”

"Huh? Did you flirt with the ladies in my house? Lu Cheng was really shocked at this time, he didn't expect that the person he came to save actually molested the female dependents in his house.

Seeing Lu Cheng's gradually strange face, Zhou quickly said loudly: "Impossible!" I know the people of Lu Mansion up and down, and that beautiful girl will definitely not be from Lu Mansion! ”

"That's right! It can't be from my Lu Mansion, everyone in my Lu Mansion knows each other everywhere! Lu Cheng also echoed and said.

Wan Yu didn't believe that it was from the Lu Mansion, this matter was too coincidental, how close the Lu family and the Zhou family were, how could Zhou Chu tease the female relatives of the Lu Mansion, so Wan Yu asked the county lieutenant again: "Are you sure that woman is the female family of the Lu Mansion?" ”

"It's true!" The county lieutenant replied with a straight face, but he saw the woman enter the Lu Mansion with her own eyes.

Then Lu Cheng seemed to remember something, his face suddenly turned pale with fright, and he pointed at the surroundings with his already slightly trembling hands: "That.... Did the woman carry a maid with her? ”

"yes!" Zhou nodded confusedly.

Lu Cheng asked Zhou again what clothes the woman was wearing and what she looked like, and Zhou Zhi answered honestly, but a trace of worry arose spontaneously in Zhou Chu's heart.

"It's over, it's over!" Lu Cheng suddenly sat down on the ground, muttering blankly.

Seeing this, Wan Yu hurriedly said, "Quickly help Mr. Lu up!" Then he hurriedly walked down the hall and helped Lu Cheng, who was sitting paralyzed, up with the county lieutenant.

Zhou was still pressed to the ground by the servants, looking at this scene in a daze, he didn't know why Lu Cheng had such a big reaction.

Lu Cheng, who breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, gritted his teeth and pointed at him: "Shaft! You've got a big hit! ”

Wan Yu and the county lieutenant both looked at each other, what was the origin of this woman, and she made Lu Cheng lose her temper like this.

Zhou Shi blinked his eyes and asked puzzledly, "Could it be that that is the concubine Lu Laoxin married?" ”

It's better not to ask, but when he asked, Lu Chengqi almost turned his back on him, pointing to the surroundings and was instantly speechless.

Wan Yu and the county lieutenant almost burst into laughter, and forced back a smile and asked, "That woman can't really be Mr. Lu's new concubine, right?" ”

Lu Cheng saw that even Wan Yu asked like this, and if he didn't explain, he would jump into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it away, so he quickly explained: "That girl is a foreign daughter under the country, her family lives in Jianye, and she came to visit her from afar, she just arrived in Wucheng in the past two days, but she didn't expect such a thing to happen, if she let his old father know, how should I explain it to his father!" ”

Seeing Lu Cheng frightened like this, he thought that the woman was the concubine Lu Cheng had just married, so he was so excited, but it turned out to be just his daughter, and suddenly rushed to Lu Cheng and said, "Isn't it your daughter?" What's the big deal, if you can't do it, Lao Tzu will marry that beautiful girl, and marrying me around me is not an insult to her! ”
