Coincidentally, the boat went fast, Huizu took a deep breath, I hope that the job search will be smooth sailing for a while.

When the ship arrived in Wuxi, the rain began to fall again.

Outside the county office, a handsome man of sixteen or seventeen years old, chained a young and beautiful woman and a suave man, and beat the drum of grievances outside the county office.

The man's brows were tightly knit, and his eyes were as sharp as knives, so frightened that passers-by did not dare to approach, and retreated ten steps away.

The locked woman was wearing a small pink belly pocket on her upper body and a green Luo skirt on her lower body, shivering in the light rain. The man was half-naked, showing off his muscles to passers-by.

Beautiful women and handsome men were tied together, their hair was messy and disheveled, no need to ask, nine times out of ten it was an adultery case.

In the crowd, a man in a cloth shirt glanced at this side with a thief's eyebrows, and quickened his pace and walked in the direction of the Pu family compound.

"What kind of dress is it in broad daylight? The face of the ancestor was all lost by her! ”

"Shameless little prodigal hoof!"

"Little Wave Hoof!"

"Slut!"

"Slut!"

Outside the county office, the people surrounded Wu Niang and pointed, spitting stars more fiercely than rain.

In the county office, the county commander Wei Tingkui was completely panicked, Qin Xiong, the famous criminal master of the county, had been out for two days, and it was estimated that he would not be able to come back for a while.

There are a few other masters, but they all write official documents and manage accounts, and they don't know anything about the trial, and the drums outside are deafening, so how can he be good?

The master is his backbone, and if the master is not alone, I am afraid that he will not be able to solve the case. If something goes wrong, the loss of people is small, and the loss of officials will be a big trouble.

The drums outside were beating louder and louder, and the county magistrate was so anxious that he paced around the house: "Go and invite Master Qin, let him come back quickly!" Just go! ”

"Master, Master Qin went to visit his old friend, even if he rushes back now, it will take seven or eight hours to come back and forth, and far water can't quench his thirst!"

"So what do you say?" The county commander glared angrily.

"Master, Master Qin instructed when he left, in case there is any case for you to drag first."

"How to delay? Where to drag? Didn't you hear the drum outside about to be beaten? The county magistrate was so anxious that he was upset, and his forehead was sweating.

"My lord, there is a man named Wang Huizu outside, who has come to ask for the position of master."

"Really?"

"Seriously."

"What a timely rain! Fast! Invite him to come in and take the test! Also, tell the people outside to stop knocking! Let's just say that the master is busy at this time, and he will be promoted later. ”

The county magistrate looked at the drizzle that was still falling outside, revealing a hint of joy.

As he spoke, a handsome scholar dressed in Tsing Yi walked in with a smile on his face.

"You are Wang Huizu?" The county magistrate asked.

"Xiaosheng Wang Huizu." Wang Huizu replied.

"Want to come to the house to be a master?" The county magistrate asked again.

"I wonder if you need it?" Wang Huizu replied again.

The county magistrate glanced at Wang Huizu up and down, and immediately put up his official stand: "This official will give you a chance, if you can help me solve the case outside today, I will hire you." ”

Wang Huizu smiled slightly: "A word is a certainty!" ”

The county magistrate suddenly had the backbone, and he slapped the public case in shock: "Ascend to the court!" ”

There was silence in the Pujia compound.

It's already three poles in the sun, and the Pu family is still asleep.

"Sir! Oh no, sir! Fang just saw Pusi's drumming family outside the yamen shouting loudly.

"What's the noise? Didn't I ask you to go to that place last night to deliver the letter? Why are you only back now? Pudongsheng propped up his groggy head and scolded.

"Back to my lord, the little one has already sent the letter. When I came back just now, I saw the young master at the gate of the yamen with the two of them beating drums at the gate of the county yamen! Jia Ding said hurriedly.

"What? This is not enough to succeed and more to lose! Why don't you stop him? Pudong Sheng complained.

"How dare you be a little one? The young master had a murderous look on his face, and the little one was afraid that he would be killed directly by him if he went up to stop him! Then how can you come back and report to the master? Jia Ding said.

"Quick, lead someone to stop him, don't let him enter the yamen!" Pudong Sheng commanded.

"Yes!" The family woke up the others one by one, and trotted all the way to the yamen.

"What's going on, sir?" The lady who was woken up asked, rubbing her eyes.

"I just sent someone to deliver a letter over there last night, telling them to send someone today, but as a result, Pu Si secretly took Wu Niang to the yamen to complain, it seems that this rebel is going to do something bad!" Pudongsheng pounded his fist heavily on the quilt.

"The fourth son is still young, it is the time when the blood is strong, and he doesn't know the purpose of the old man's keeping that girl, and he knows that his daughter-in-law is committing adultery, and he will inevitably be impulsive." The lady discerned for her son.

"This husband knows, otherwise, I would have cleaned him up last night, how could I condone him to be so nonsense? But then again, Si'er was going to kill and kill last night, why did he suddenly take the two of them to the yamen to complain today? ”

It's not Pu Si's temperament to go to the yamen to complain, who instigated him to change his mind? This incident made Pudong Sheng quite strange.

But it's better to go to the yamen than to burn them, at least, the Wuniang people are still there, as long as the people are still there, everything is easy to say. Thinking of the little lady who was raised by him with fine skin and tender meat, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile imperceptibly.

"It's Wu Niang's little prodigal hoof, now that he has been broken, will he be found over there!" Madame gritted her teeth.

Pudongsheng raised the corners of his lips slyly and sneered: "Hehe, don't worry, Madam, you have your own way for your husband!" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a group of housekeepers running back panting.

"Where's the young master? Stopped? Pudong Sheng asked.

"Master, I can't stop it! When the little ones arrived, the county magistrate had already ascended to the court. The young master and Wu Niang are all kneeling under the hall! ”

"Master, you can't let them be tortured! If it breaks, ......," the lady interjected.

"Quick, take me to see it!" Pudongsheng rolled over and got out of bed, grabbed a piece of clothing haphazardly and hurried out.

Sitting above the lobby under the mirror is Wei Tingkui, the county magistrate of the county, and the six rooms and three classes of officials are holding killing sticks on both sides.

Wei Tingkui leaned forward slightly, staring at Wu Niang kneeling under the hall with a majestic face: "What is your relationship with the plaintiff?" ”

"My lord, the folk girl is the child adopted wife of the plaintiff Pusi." Wu Niang replied truthfully.

"Your fiancé Pu Si said that you had an adulterous affair with his second uncle, do you admit your guilt?" Wei Tingkui asked again.

"Hui Yu, the people's daughter, the people's daughter......" Wu Niang timidly turned her head and looked at the owner of the Pu family's compound who had just arrived and stood behind Pu Si, Pudong Sheng, who wanted to speak again.

"Let's be honest, Wu Niang, don't have any worries!" Pu Puchen looked at her distressedly.

"Wu Niang, this official will ask you again, do you admit your guilt?"

Wei Tingkui looked at the weak little woman in front of him, and he was also very puzzled in his heart, this girl looked dignified and beautiful, not like a lowly person, Pu Si looked like a suave talent, why would she risk being beaten to death by a stick to commit adultery with her husband's second uncle?

"My lord, the folk girl pleads guilty!" Wu Niang slowly glanced at Pu Pu Chen and said.

"Pudongchen, what about you?"

"Xiaomin also pleaded guilty!" Pudong Chen Road.

This case is too simple, so simple that he feels that the clear soup is tasteless, and the adulterer and adulteress do not argue a word, and come up and directly admit their guilt. The audacity of these two is unprecedented.

Usually, those who have been wronged after the defendant comes up will shout twice to add a little difficulty to his trial and give the master a chance to display his wisdom.

However, such a simple case does not need to be interfered with by the master!

"Well, since the two defendants have pleaded guilty, according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, the adulterer is each liable for 80, and the woman has a husband who commits adultery, and the two of you are related, it is a heinous crime, so this official ......"

Wang Huizu, the intern master sitting behind the scenes, saw that the county official was about to be convicted, and immediately tightened his brows, and he quickly handed over the word "retreat" written as soon as he sat down to his subordinates, who did not dare to slack off, and sent the note to Wei Tingkui in front of the hall before the county magistrate's verdict.

Wei Tingkui looked at it intently, and hurriedly changed the wording: "This case is not trivial, you can't be hasty, you have to allow this official to think carefully before convicting you!" Retire! ”

"If you have a good trial, why did you quit?" The people watching from the outside of the door were talking.

"Master Wang, the trial is good, why do you want to let this official quit halfway?" Wei Tingkui's thoughts coincided with the onlookers.

Although this person was only temporarily invited to save the scene, no matter what, he has always respected the opinions of the curtain guests. This is his experience as an official for many years, and he will not suffer a loss by listening to his master's words.

"Don't you think this case is a little strange, my lord?" Wang Huizu asked rhetorically.

"Oh? What does Master Wang mean? Wei Tingkui was puzzled.

"The defendant said that she was the plaintiff's child wife, but as far as I know, only families from poor families who cannot afford to marry a daughter-in-law will adopt a child wife, and the plaintiff looks like a big family, which is a bit suspicious."

"Sounds reasonable." Wei Tingkui's furrowed brows stretched slightly.

While he was talking, someone came to report: "My lord, Master Qin is back!" ”

"Master Qin came just in time, there is a case of adultery between a child wife and an uncle, come here to see what flaws there are?" Wei Tingkui handed the form to Qin Xiong.

Qin Xiong glanced at Wang Huizu unkindly: "Who is this?" ”

Wang Huizu bowed and introduced himself very politely: "Master Qin, I have admired the name for a long time!" I am the deputy that the adults invited to you, and I will ask Master Qin to take care of me in the future! ”

"Yes, yes, the deputy you invited, Master Qin, look at this case......" Wei Tingkui echoed.

"It's a simple case of adultery, and there's nothing suspicious." After swiping his gaze, Qin Xiong handed the form to Wei Tingkui with both hands.

But Master Wang thinks that this Pu family is a big family, and it is not reasonable to marry a child wife. What does Master Qin think? Wei Tingkui simply expressed what Wang Huizu meant.

"My lord, in fact, many wealthy families will also adopt child daughters-in-law. In addition, it is not excluded that there is a possibility that the Pu family may not have been wealthy when they adopted a child and adopted a daughter-in-law, and they only became a family in recent years. The main thing is that the defendants who have not been sentenced have voluntarily confessed, so what is there to doubt? ”

is worthy of being a genuine master, Qin Xiong's words are not leaky, and all kinds of possibilities have been included in a few words.

"What Master Qin said makes sense, but I still feel a lot of doubts." Wang Huizu said.

"Tell me about it!" Qin Xiong is a well-known criminal master, and he does not take an unknown junior like Wang Huizu in his eyes.

"First, how can a really big family marry a daughter who is the right lady to marry a wife? And the big families that Master Qin just mentioned are actually ordinary rich families, and this kind of family adopts children and daughters-in-law in fact, they are all called as maids before the round house. ”

"What else?" Qin Xiong took the tea handed by his servant and took a shallow sip.

"Second, since he is a maid, he does all the rough work, and this defendant's demeanor and temperament look more like a lady who has never suffered."

"Anything else?" Qin Xiong asked again.

"Three, I've already inquired outside, this Master Pu was a big family more than ten years ago."

"So what?" Qin Xiong asked again.

"So, sir, can you go up again?" Wang Huizu asked.

Wang Huizu's meticulous observation made the county officials deeply admired.

He stared at the new master in front of him for a long time without saying a word, and suddenly laughed: "Okay! Ascension! ”

Raising a child daughter-in-law so delicate and tender and touching and not marrying his son, is there any other use? The county magistrate decided to find out.

While he was talking, a servant hurriedly walked in and said, "My lord, the master of the Pu family wants to see you." ”

Wang Huizu nodded to Wei Tingkui and quickly hid behind the screen. Qin Xiong said that something was wrong and walked out.

Wang Dongsheng walked in with a smile and said: "County master, Wu Niang and my second brother are innocent and have not done anything wrong. Let the county master laugh! ”

"What do you mean?"

"This is a little bit of grass people's heart, please accept it from the county master! He also asked the county magistrate to raise his noble hand and withdraw the case, so as not to be embarrassed here. ”

Pu Pu Sheng said, placing a jasper wine glass on the case.

"Dismissal?" Wang Huizu frowned, it seems that this case is really not simple.
