Xu Tingshi said to Zhou Xuan: "You are not guilty, let me go back in court." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "My lord is wise, please let my father-in-law go back with me." ”

Xu said: "Qin Xiong's case has not yet been decided, and he must continue to be detained. ”

Zhou Xuan asked: "My lord is clear, since he is not guilty in his later life, it is not a fake marriage, and my father-in-law is naturally innocent, so I implore my father-in-law to release my father-in-law together, so as not to worry and suspense my mother-in-law at home." ”

Xu Tingshi shook his head and said: "Zhou Xuan, don't be ignorant, the official is already extraordinarily generous to release you, Qin Xiong can't let go, this is the meaning of the draft envoy Lord Li, but the official can forward your defense to Lord Li, you can rest assured." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Thank you Lord Xu, Wansheng has a request, Wansheng is willing to be imprisoned on behalf of his father-in-law, my father-in-law is over fifty years old, he has always been conscientious and cautious, and he was suddenly framed by the villain, I am afraid that he will not be able to think about it." ”

Feng Ajian looked at Zhou Xuan and said, "I really didn't expect you to have such filial piety, Dr. Qin is blessed to have a son-in-law like you!" The tone has changed from disgust to appreciation.

Xu Tingshi said: "Zhou Xuan, your filial piety is commendable, but the matter of scapegoating is not in line with the law of the country, you go back first, and come back tomorrow to listen to the news and see how Master Li judges." ”

Zhou Xuan knew that there was no way to rescue his father-in-law today, and said: "I want to see my father-in-law in my later life, please ask for your permission." ”

Xu Jianshi nodded, and called a messenger to step forward: "Xue Ba, take Zhou Gongzi to see Qin Xiong in the prison prison, and according to the rules, it should not exceed a quarter of an hour." ”

At this time, a messenger came in and reported: "There is a woman named Su Suzhen outside who asks to see the female official Feng Ajian Feng." ”

Feng Ajian said "oh" and said, "It's not good to see each other in the public court, take her to the small hall on the left to see me." "After giving a salute to Xu Tingshi and Deputy Envoy Bai, he withdrew first.

Song Dachun knelt at the bottom of the hall, his eyes were still rolling, and no one asked him about accepting money from Assistant Teacher Jiang, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Xu Tingshi got angry when he saw his stupid and obscene appearance, and shouted: "Come on, take this Diao slave spine rod for twenty." ”

In the sound of "pop-pop" and the cry of "ah-ah", Zhou Xuan walked out of the Xiansi Mansion, and saw Laifu in a hurry outside, Qin Que and cumin were standing on the side of the carriage, and they didn't see Su Suzhen, so they should have gone to see Feng Ajian.

"Uncle, you came out, scared me, I thought it was beating you inside!" Laifu hurried up to greet him.

Zhou Xuan said: "It was Song Dachun who was beaten, and it was this Diao Nu and Assistant Teacher Jiang who colluded to make trouble." ”

Laifu was indignant: "It turned out to be him, he fought well, and when he comes out, I will beat him, this ungrateful dog!" ”

Zhou Xuan looked at Qin Que, who was looking at him with tears in his eyes, his lips moving: "Zhou-husband, what's the matter, daddy, he-"

This is the first time Zhou Xuan has heard Qin Que call him "husband", he has joy and sorrow in his heart, and walked over and said: "I am sure that it is a real marriage, Xu Tingshi and the two draft deputy envoys have been moved by my true feelings, and they all intend to let go of their father-in-law, but there is also a draft envoy Li, he is not here, I have to agree with him, Xu Tingshi asked me to listen to the news tomorrow." ”

The messenger Xue Ba came over and said, "Gongzi Zhou wants to go to see Qin Xiong, so come with me." ”

Qin Que hurriedly said, "I'm going to see my father too." ”

Xue Ba knew that the benefits were coming, and frowned and said: "Lord Xu only allows Zhou Gongzi to visit the prison alone, the others, these other people-of course, the girl is Qin Xiong's closest relative, and she can also go." ”

Xue Ba's tone suddenly decreased and the meaning suddenly changed in the second half of his speech, because Zhou Xuan held his hand and stuffed a small silver ingot of five taels into his palm.

At this time, Dr. Qin Xiongqin was the only one in the cell, his hat had been removed, his hands and feet were handcuffed, and he was sitting in a corner of the cell where there was no sunlight.

Hearing the sound of the cell door, Dr. Qin looked up and saw Zhou Xuan and Qin Que coming together, Dr. Qin was first overjoyed and shouted, "Virtuous son-in-law, Que'er-" and then shocked, "Ah, you two have also been arrested!" ”

Zhou Xuan hurriedly walked over and half-knelt to hold Dr. Qin's hand, and shook it gently: "The son-in-law is here to visit the father-in-law, please don't be afraid, the son-in-law will definitely find a way to rescue you." ”

Qin Que fell to his knees and cried: "Daddy, it's the daughter who is not filial, and it affects the father-"

Zhou Xuan discussed with the jailers guarding the cell to give the old man shackles, and the three jailers were all this national law and that criminal law at first, and each received five taels of silver and refused to agree to open the shackles, saying that if they did not wear shackles and run away to the prisoners who were to be convicted, then they would not be able to escape the blame, and only promised to take care of them and not let Dr. Qin suffer.

Zhou Xuan said: "Okay, I understand the people, these high-sounding words don't need to be said, you see, my father-in-law has gray hair, he is over half a hundred years old, where can he run without shackles?" You all grew up in Jiangzhou, the family will inevitably go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment of headache and brain fever, my father-in-law's medical ethics you also know, this time he was falsely accused by the villain, and the truth will be revealed tomorrow, and he will be released from prison. ”

Dr. Qin was shackled, and Qin Que helped Daddy rub his numb hands and feet.

Zhou Xuan said: "Father-in-law, if the draft makes Master Li ask you again, you will be sure that it is a real marriage, and it is the surname Jiang who falsely accuses you-"

"But, virtuous son-in-law, the old man has already confessed to a fake marriage in the hall before, and the constitutional documents are still on the record!"

"Did you draw it?"

"That's not true, at that time, Wu Gongcao wanted to implicate you as well, thinking that the old man's confession was not true, so he didn't draw a charge."

"Very good, it's much easier to do without a draw, if Lord Li interrogates you, you will pretend to be confused, just say that it is a real marriage, try to push the matter to the son-in-law, let Lord Li come to me to ask, I have a way to answer, my father-in-law has been wronged here for a night, and the son-in-law will definitely take you out tomorrow."

Dr. Qin burst into tears: "Virtuous son-in-law, the old man felt very guilty when he learned that Wu Gongcao was going to implicate you, and he blamed the old man for tricking you into getting into the car at the Gantang Lake tea stall——"

Zhou Xuan hurriedly interrupted Dr. Qin's words: "Don't talk about that, my father-in-law is kind to my son-in-law, my son-in-law went to Jiangzhou alone, and he had no relatives, if it wasn't for my father-in-law to take him in, I don't know where I am now." ”

Dr. Qin said, "A virtuous son-in-law, where can you not get ahead? But I was wronged in my Qin Mansion, and I am really ashamed of my virtuous son-in-law. ”

When Dr. Qin said these words, Qin Que's head was getting lower and lower, and he was almost down to the ground.

Xue Ba shouted outside: "Gongzi Zhou, a quarter of an hour is here, let's go." ”

Zhou Xuan ordered Laifu to stay and wait for Dr. Qin, and if something happened, he would return home in time to report the news.

Qin Que cried and said that he would stay and serve his father, but was forcibly pulled out by Zhou Xuan.

Before Zhou Xuan and Qin Que returned to the Xiansi Hall, only the coachman and cumin were there, and the sewing needle had not yet returned.

Zhou Xuan said: "The deputy envoy of the draft, Feng Ajian is a female official of the palace, and the sewing needle should be very familiar with her, and the sewing needle went to intercede for the father-in-law, and then Feng Ajian said something in front of the draft envoy, and it is estimated that it is not a big problem to release the father-in-law." ”

Qin Que nodded, looking at Zhou Xuan with a pair of beautiful eyes, looking completely trusting.

Although Qin Que is smart and precocious, and has been practicing medicine for several years, she is only a seventeen-year-old girl after all, and when she suddenly encounters such an accident, she is so frightened that the six gods have no master, except for crying, she has the idea of apologizing for her father, and what good way can she come up with! Therefore, if there is no man in the family, life is really miserable, especially in ancient times when men were inferior to women.
