Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Prince's Help
Gonggong Li hurried back to the inn and ran into Xiao Jingcong's room out of breath.
"Little Hou Ye, it's not good, it's not good, I found out, Miss Yan Zixi killed the old lady Li yesterday, and now she has been put in prison by the county master!"
As soon as Gonggong Li entered the door, he said to Xiao Jingcong.
When Xiao Jingcong heard this, he immediately stood up from his seat.
"What did you just say? Who did Zixi kill? ”
"It's the old lady Li we saw together in the grass hut in the suburbs yesterday, and I heard that she died at home last night. The Li family reported that Yan Zixi killed him. ”
Xiao Jingcong immediately became furious after hearing this: "How is this possible! We have been with Yan Zixi yesterday, how could she do such a thing? ”
Gonggong Li also nodded, and said busily: "Who said no, it is clear that he was wronged." But the people of the Li family are determined that Yan Zixi did it, and now that Miss Zixi has been arrested, I don't know what will happen...... Little Marquis...... Little Marquis...... Where are you going? ”
Before Gonggong Li finished speaking, he saw Xiao Jingcong packing his luggage.
"I'll go to the yamen, I want to see what kind of foolish official he is, he doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, and he wrongs a good person!"
"Little Hou Ye, you can't go, you can't go!" When Gonggong Li heard that Xiao Jingcong was going to break into the county yamen alone, he immediately stopped him.
"Little Marquis, have you forgotten the purpose of our coming here? If you do this, you will reveal your identity, and then the gain will outweigh the loss! Gonggong Li said worriedly.
Xiao Jingcong slapped the table and scolded angrily: "Gonggong Li, do you want me to sit back and watch like this?" ”
"But ......" Gonggong Li wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xiao Jingcong.
"Okay, Gonggong Li, you don't have to persuade me anymore, I have already decided on this matter, I will go to the yamen, I have my own measure, you don't need to say much!"
Saying that, Xiao Jingcong threw his luggage to Gonggong Li, and walked out of the inn alone.
Gonggong Li shook his head again and again, but he didn't know what to do, so he had to go out with his luggage.
Xiao Jingcong came to the door of the yamen and was immediately stopped by the two officials at the door.
"Stop, this is the yamen, idlers are not allowed to enter, leave quickly!"
Xiao Jingcong's face was fearless, and he stepped forward and asked, "Let me ask you, can the county order be here?" ”
When the two officials saw that Xiao Jingcong not only did not listen to the advice to leave, but instead had to inch in, asking about the whereabouts of the county lord, even if they were a little annoyed, they even showed a killing stick in their hands, scaring Xiao Jingcong.
"Hey, where are you a bastard, is our county master the one you said you would see? Who do you think you are? Even if the emperor Lao Tzu comes, he has to wait obediently for us to go in and report. As for you, how far is it, hurry up and get out of here! ”
Saying that, the two officials took the killing stick and pushed Xiao Jingcong.
Xiao Jingcong was about to do a good job and teach these two bullying dog minions a good lesson, but at this time, Gonggong Li chased after him and quickly stopped Xiao Jingcong.
"Little ...... Master, no! Never! ”
Gonggong Li grabbed Xiao Jingcong, and then persuaded in a low voice: "Little Marquis, no matter what they say, they are also officials of the Yamen, if you beat them, you won't be able to show your identity." Little Hou Ye, you stand back first, or let the old slave come. ”
As he spoke, Gonggong Li secretly took out two ingots of silver from his baggage, and then walked in front of the two officials with a smile on his face.
"Two elder brothers, my son-in-law is ignorant and has a big temper, and the old slave has made amends to you on his behalf, this is a little careful, please accept it."
After Li Gonggong finished speaking, he showed the two ingots of silver in his hand.
When the two officials saw the silver in Gonggong Li's hand, their eyes immediately lit up.
They glanced around, then immediately reached out and took it, hid it in their arms, and then cleared their throats.
"Okay, hurry up and take your son-in-law home, Yamen Chongdi, don't trespass, next time, don't blame us for being rude!"
After the official finished speaking, he sent Gonggong Li and they left.
Gonggong Li hurriedly took the opportunity to say: "I said that the two elder brothers, you have also received this silver, is it convenient for our son-in-law to meet the county master?" ”
"See what? Is the county master what you little people say you will see? Get out of here! ”
"Hey, it's not!" Gonggong Li was a little stunned, "Brother Yashi, you accepted my money just now, why are you ...... now?"
"Go, go, what silver, no, no. I warn you, old man, don't spew blood, or we'll drag you in jail!" ”
"You guys!" Li Gong was almost angry, thinking in his heart how the rules of this small place were different from those in the capital.
He received his own money, but he didn't do anything.
Not only that, but he even pretended to confiscate it, he had lived most of his life, and he had never seen anything like this.
Xiao Jingcong couldn't stand it anymore, and he was about to break in as soon as he started.
Seeing this, the two officials hurriedly put the killing stick sideways, blocking Xiao Jingcong's way.
"Boy, you're deaf, aren't you?"
"Get out of the way! Don't make me say it a second time. ”
Xiao Jingcong's eyes suddenly became sharp, and her handsome face became gloomy in an instant, and there was a faint momentum on her body that looked at the world.
The two officials gasped, and the killing rod in their hands couldn't help but tremble, but they were still in front of Xiao Jingcong, without the slightest intention of letting go.
Seeing this, Xiao Jingcong didn't say anything more, and kicked the killing rod in front of him in two with a single kick, and then swaggered into the yamen under the frightened eyes of the two officials.
Xiao Jingcong broke into the county hall all the way, and the county commander Cheng Sanshui was sitting in his seat dealing with official documents, when he suddenly heard a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the door, and a trace of dissatisfaction immediately rose in his heart.
"How many times have you said that don't make a noise while I'm working, what's the matter with you......"
Before the "thing" could be spoken, Cheng Sanshui looked up, but there was a strange handsome man standing in front of him.
Cheng Sanshui saw that the man's heavy dress was very rich and gorgeous, and he knew that he was not an ordinary person, so he suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice.
"Who are you? Why trespass on my county's inner hall? ”
Cheng Sanshui was asking, and the two guards who were guarding the door also chased in.
When they saw Cheng Sanshui's gloomy face, they immediately knelt down and cried: "My lord, this kid insists on breaking in, we don't listen to what we say, and he beat him badly, you have to be the little one!" ”
"Hmph, useless rice bucket, what do you want?" Cheng Sanshui scolded angrily in his mouth, then looked at Xiao Jingcong again, and asked again: "This official asks you again, who are you?" If you don't say it, don't blame the official for being polite! ”
Xiao Jingcong smiled coldly, and slowly read it in his mouth.
"Cheng Sanshui, a native of Ningcheng County, was admitted to Jinshi in Renhe for five years, and returned to his hometown in the same year to serve as the magistrate of Ningcheng County, and he has been in the ...... for forty-three years."
Xiao Jingcong read out Cheng Sanshui's experience as an official, which suddenly made Cheng Sanshui a little panicked.
"You...... Who the hell are you? ”
Xiao Jingcong glanced at the official who was still kneeling next to him, Cheng Sanshui immediately understood, hurriedly waved his hand, and ordered: "You two, let me go out and guard the door, no one can come in without my order." ”
"Yes...... It's ......"
The two officials escaped the responsibility of dereliction of duty, let out a sigh of relief, said in a submissive mouth, and then glared at Xiao Jingcong fiercely, and then walked out and closed the door of the house.
"Can you talk about it now?"
Xiao Jingcong smiled slightly, and hooked his finger towards Cheng Sanshui.
Cheng Sanshui was furious in his heart, but before he figured out the identity of the other party, he didn't dare to act rashly, so he had to suppress the anger in his heart, stood up from his seat, and then walked in front of Xiao Jingcong.
Xiao Jingcong didn't say anything, just took out a golden token from his waist.
Cheng Sanshui squinted his eyes, took a careful look at the token, and then his face changed suddenly.
The attitude of the whole person immediately came to a 180-degree turn.
Cheng Sanshui knelt down in front of Xiao Jingcong with a "plop", and greeted him in panic and panic.
"Xiaguan Cheng Sanshui visited the little prince of Zhenguo Mansion, Xiaguan didn't know that the little prince was coming, and he missed the welcome, so he asked the little prince to atone for his sins......"
"Get up."
Xiao Jingcong clasped his hands behind his back and responded coldly.
Cheng Sanshui wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and then stood up from the ground.
Then he immediately poured Xiao Jingcong a cup of tea.
"The little prince came from afar, he must be thirsty, come and come, taste the famous tea and tea of this county."
Xiao Jingcong didn't pay attention to Cheng Sanshui at all, but turned around and sat on Cheng Sanshui's seat just now and asked.
"Cheng County Order, I came here today because I want to ask you a few things."
When Cheng Sanshui heard this, he hurriedly put the tea aside, and said in his mouth: "If the little prince has anything to say, just ask, the lower officials must know everything!" ”
Xiao Jingcong saw Cheng Sanshui's flattering look, and she couldn't help but feel disgusted in her heart.
He pretended to cough, and then continued to ask: "Cheng County Order, let me ask you, did you put a doctor named Yan Zixi in prison?!" ”
"Huh?" When Cheng Sanshui heard the name "Yan Zixi", he couldn't help but be surprised, "This little prince just came to Ningcheng County, why do you know that Yan Zixi is a girl?" ”
Although he was very strange in his heart, Cheng Sanshui was not ambiguous at all.
"Back to the little prince, this is indeed the case. The little prince may not know that Yan Zixi is not a good person, although he is a doctor, he killed Mrs. Li in this county, and his heart can be punished! ”
Xiao Jingcong snorted coldly, and a sneer of disdain appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Really? Cheng County Order, listening to your tone, it seems that the evidence is conclusive? Is Yan Zixi really the real murderer who killed Mrs. Li? ”
