"Big master, big lord, county student Ning Xiu asks to see the big man."

The official trotted all the way into the second hall, and when he saw Chen Xianling sitting in the hall reading the official documents, he bowed over and reported in harmony.

"Ning Xiu? What did he come to do? ”

Chen Fu frowned, this Ning Xiucai was too deep in the city, and set up a bureau to trick the eldest son of the Lu family into smashing the store, and then beat the drum of injustice to report to the official to put him in a dilemma.

This man is truly abominable.

But this person obviously has a group of second-generation friends, so it is better not to offend.

"Bring him in."

Chen Xianling waved his hand, and the official immediately ran to the gate of the yamen happily.

took Ning Xiu around the shadow wall and the lobby to the second hall, and the official whispered: "The county lord is not in a good mood, Ning Xiaoxiang should pay more attention." ”

Ning Xiu nodded and said, "Thank you for the reminder." ”

With that, he stepped into the second hall.

At this moment, Chen Xianling had already put down the file in his hand and tasted a cup of tea.

Ning Xiu went to the hall and bowed to Chen County's order and said, "Students meet the county honor." ”

"Oh, Ning Xiansheng is here? Sit down. ”

Sure enough, as Ning Xiu expected, Chen Xianling behaved very kindly, at least on the surface.

Ning Xiu didn't even dare to say it, and finally stood up and spoke.

It's good to listen to some words, but the county magistrate gives you a seat, but you can't accept it directly. Otherwise, there will be sin.

"What is the matter with Hyunsheng here?"

Chen Xianling scraped the tea powder with a teacup, took a sip of tea and moistened his throat.

Ning Xiu pondered for a moment and replied respectfully, "The student is here for a private matter. I heard that the student's third uncle was taken to the county office yesterday, and the elders in the family were worried, so the student wanted to come and find out what happened. ”

"Oh, then Ning Gong is your third uncle?"

Chen Xianling was obviously a little surprised, knocked his finger and said, "That's really a coincidence." ”

Ning Xiu's heart was a little fixed. It seems that this incident was a simple accident.

There is no need for Chen Xianling to lie to himself at all. If he wants to punish the third uncle, there is a reason.

"I don't know what crime the third uncle of the student committed, and he was arrested by the county honorable officer."

Ning Xiu's words were actually very inappropriate, but there was no way, who let this unlucky third uncle be arrested by the government. If he didn't come forward to ask, there would really be no one to help the third uncle.

"Your third uncle has really committed a big crime."

Chen Xianling said in an official tone: "He colluded with the officials in the yamen to sell inferior pork and mutton to the yamen at shoddy prices. As a result, the officials of the yamen vomited and diarrhea after eating this bad meat, and some even fell ill. ”

Ning Xiu chuckled in his heart.

This third uncle is really confused.

Not to mention whether this matter is true or not, at least it is very much in line with the third uncle's greedy personality.

The third uncle estimated that he was thinking that the yamen public family was easy to deceive, so he colluded with the officials to sell the inferior meat as good meat to the county government.

Who are the people in the county office? Those are all masters with official status, even if they are officials with no rank or rank, it is not something that a mere butcher can afford to provoke.

Now that the East Window incident has happened, and the third uncle has been taken to the county office, what can Ning Xiu say?

This is clearly the third uncle's own fault.

Seeing Ning Xiu's solemn face, Chen County Ling couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Haha, you crazy life also has times when you are deflated?

Now that your third uncle is in the hands of this official, I'm afraid he's in a hurry, right?

It's just that your third uncle was the first to commit a traitor, and the official punished him according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, and you can't find half of the fault.

This official is a communiqué, a personal vendetta, what can you do?

Of course, these mental activities Ning Xiu didn't know.

He just wanted to meet the third uncle now and ask him what was going on in person.

"I wonder if the student can go to the prison to visit the third uncle?"

This request was a bit unreasonable, and Ning Xiu didn't have much hope.

Surprisingly, Chen County Ling agreed.

"Come on, take Ning Xiansheng to visit the prisoner."

"Thank you, county."

Ning Xiu hurriedly thanked Chen County.

As an errand officer came to the county jail, Ning Xiu took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to the officer.

"Please also ask the official to make it convenient and give me more time."

The officer took the broken silver, and said with a smile, "It's easy to say." Even if you talk about it, you can talk for as long as you want. ”

The county jail's prison was not as Ning Xiu had imagined, with only a row of low cells, separated by earthen walls, each with a wooden railing on the outside, which was very simple.

Ning Xiu walked along the cells one by one and found the third uncle in the penultimate cell.

I saw the third uncle huddled in a corner of the cell, surrounded by a straw bed.

There were three other prisoners in the cell, all sleeping.

"Third uncle!"

Ning Xiu's call made Ning Gong raise his head, and after seeing that it was really his nephew, he bounced up and took two steps to the front of the cell.

"San Lang, San Lang, you can save the third uncle. The third uncle is wronged, wronged. ”

Ning Xiu grabbed the third uncle's hand across the railing and said comfortingly: "Third uncle, don't panic first. Tell your nephew what's going on. The nephew can only help the third uncle get rid of the crime when he understands the matter clearly. ”

Ning Gong nodded frequently.

When he was locked away by the officer's ticket, he was directly stunned. After being put in a cell, he kept shouting grievances, but no one paid attention to him at all.

This feeling of not knowing when he was arraigned drove him crazy. Although I only spent one day in prison, I felt that it was a long time.

"That's right, some time ago, there was a public servant of the yamen who said that he wanted to purchase meat from the third uncle and supply it to the officials and lords. The third uncle is naturally willing. First, the money given by the official family is happy and arrogant, and secondly, the amount of money is also large. Instead of selling meat in bulk, it is most suitable to sell meat to officials. ”

Swallowing and spitting, Ning Gong continued: "But who knew that just a few days after selling the meat to him, the people from the official mansion came to the butcher shop to arrest people, saying that the officials and masters ate the meat bought from the third uncle. There were also a few adults who fell ill directly. ”

Ning Xiu nodded. These are exactly the same as what Chen Xianling said.

"Didn't the third uncle use this to sell inferior meat to the yamen?"

As soon as Ning Xiu said this, Ning Gong immediately jumped to his feet and said, "Why, San Lang doesn't believe me?" Your third uncle and I have sold meat for half my life, known as Butcher Ning, and the people of Jiangling don't know my name. The neighbors all buy meat from the third uncle's shop, but have they ever eaten a bad person? Take 10,000 steps back and say that the third uncle is stupid, and he will not sell inferior meat to the government. If I eat badly, I must be the first to be taken, will I be so stupid? ”

Well, these words are indeed heartfelt, and they make a lot of sense.

In Ning Xiu's impression, the third uncle's butcher shop business was very hot, and there was an endless stream of people who came to him to buy meat. This proves that the quality of the meat is definitely fine.

There is no problem with selling in bulk, and there should be no problem with meat sold in bulk to the county government.

Just like the third uncle said, if there is a problem with the meat, he is the first to be suspected, and the third uncle will sell the inferior meat to the county government unless he is really stupid.
