Zhou Xuan took Shangfu and was about to go to the state government to check the situation, when a servant woman stumbled back, and shouted with a worried face: "Madam, it's not good, Miss has also been arrested!" "This servant woman is to accompany Qin Que to the state government to inquire about the news.

Zhou Xuan was taken aback, and immediately understood: The fake marriage was leaked, otherwise Miss Qin would not have been arrested together.

Mrs. Qin's body collapsed on the high-backed chair, so shocked that she couldn't speak, and Xiaodi cried even more when she heard that even her sister had been arrested.

Lu An was shocked and asked urgently: "Sister Finch, what did she do again?" ”

As Zhou Xuan expected, the servant woman said: "It was that Assistant Teacher Jiang who sued the master, saying that the master recruited a son-in-law to fake a marriage and evade the draft, which is a big crime of bullying the king.

Before the words fell, there was a shout from outside the gate of the errand and the catcher: "Arrest the prisoner Zhou Xuan, and the idle people will retreat." ”

Zhou Xuan hurriedly ordered Laifu to get the silver, and he strode out by himself, and saw five wolf-like servants coming violently, followed by a bunch of idlers and children who were watching the excitement.

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Everyone has worked hard, where are you going to do things on this hot day?" ”

One of them followed Wu Gongcao to the "Mufeng Building" that day, recognized Zhou Xuan, and said to the left and right: "It's him, it's him who was arrested." ”

One of the officers shouted: "Arrest the prisoner Zhou Xuan, take it away." ”

The two servants in the back were about to come to Zhou Xuan with iron chains, Zhou Xuan jumped back, dodged, and said, "Don't worry, I have asked the family to prepare gift money for you." ”

When the five officers heard this, they immediately froze, stretched their necks and looked into the gate, and sure enough, they saw a big man walking with a mahogany box in his hand.

Zhou Xuan looked at it and felt helpless, this blessing, loyalty is loyalty, his brain is not very useful, he moved the silver box when he asked him to take the silver, and there were more than 700 taels of silver in this box.

Since he moved out, there was nothing to dodge, Zhou Xuan generously opened the box and took out the silver, and took five ingots from ten taels of silver ingots, and each officer had a bloom in his hand.

The greedy nature is even more blatant in these deceitful servants, one by one they scoop the silver ingots in their hands, their eyes look at the silver box, their Adam's apple slides up and down, and they swallow violently.

The errand laughed dryly twice and said, "Zhou Xuan, do you know that you have committed a big crime?" I think you're an interesting person—"

Zhou Xuan doesn't want to have more with these guys? Interrupted, "Do you still want silver?" Then I'll have to wait until I go to the Metropolitan Protectorate and ask Miss Lin Er. ”

Several of the officers were stunned, and the officers asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”

"I don't mean anything else," Zhou Xuan gently kicked the silver box with his toes, "This silver is the principal of the store that I and Miss Lin Er have partnered to open, and I have to discuss with her before I can spend it." ”

The errand officer who recognized Zhou Xuan whispered a few words, nothing more than saying that Lin Heishan was Zhou Xuanyi's brother or something, and several errand officers immediately put away their greedy faces, put on a businesslike appearance and said: "Zhou Gongzi, someone has sued you, please go to the State Prison Constitutional Department." ”

Zhou Xuan brought Shangfu to follow the servants to the state office, and those messengers received Zhou Xuan's silver, and knew that he had a backer, how dare they use chains to cover him, and surrounded him one by one, like a follower.

The needle chased after him and called: "Brother-in-law Zhou, I'll go with you." ”

Zhou Xuan asked the servants to wait, he walked back and said, "What is Sister Needle going to do, it's okay, I can handle it." ”

The sewing needle said: "The sewing needle knew the two draft deputy envoys in the palace before, and maybe he could help the stepfather's sister to talk and ask for a favor." ”

Zhou Xuan asked the sewing needle to take the car, and the cumin followed, and the silver that was ready to be dotted was put on the car together.

Mrs. Qin walked out with a maid's shoulder and said, "Virtuous son-in-law, it's all up to you this time, if the old woman usually has anything that she can't speak, please don't be surprised." ”

Zhou Xuan smiled faintly: "Mother-in-law, please rest assured, when Zhou Xuan first arrived in Jiangzhou, he was taken in by his father-in-law, and he has always been grateful, his son-in-law is not a person with a cold nature, even if it is not for the birds, I will do my best to rescue." ”

Mrs. Qin leaned against the door and watched Zhou Xuan walk away, and when she turned around to see her nephew Lu An, she came out with a probe in her head, and when she heard that the errand was coming, she was so shocked that she hurriedly hid in the inner courtyard.

Madam Qin let out a long sigh.

****************************

Zhou Xuan came to the hall of the Xian Division, where the state government was in charge of the prison, and saw at a glance Wu Kuan and Wu Fat Man shaking a gold-painted folding fan in the party pavilion on the left, and two black and strong family members were waiting left and right.

Seeing Zhou Xuan coming, Wu Fatzi roared triumphantly, that is, whistled, and said to the left and right family members: "Look, look, the fake son-in-law of the Qin Mansion is here!" ”

Zhou Xuan ignored him and stood under the corridor waiting for the summons, but when he saw Qin Que walking out with tears on his face, he hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Qin Xiao-uh, Que'er, how is it?" ”

Qin Que saw Zhou Xuan, sewing needles and cumin, and her tears couldn't be stopped, and it took a while before she said a complete sentence: "Daddy took over everything, he wants to bear the responsibility alone, I don't want to, I want to give my father the blame, my father scolded me for being confused, saying that the marriage is the order of my parents, not only can I not bear the sin, but the father and daughter will ask the guilt together, then the mother will have no one to take care of - they are all unfilial, and even the father and mother are affected!" ”

Zhou Xuan saw her pear blossoms with rain and sad appearance, and comforted: "Don't be pessimistic, be optimistic, things will definitely take a turn for the better, first you have to insist that it is a real marriage-"

An errand officer came out and summoned Zhou Xuan to the court for trial.

Qin Que looked at Zhou Xuan with sadness and guilt, and shouted: "Zhou Gongzi-"

Zhou Xuan laughed softly: "In front of outsiders, you have to call your husband." With that, he strode up the bluestone steps and entered the Constitutional Court.

There were three people sitting in the hall, one in the middle had big ears, very official, wearing a deep Jiangsheng official robe, and I didn't know what kind of official it was, it must be older than Wu Gongcao, because Wu Gongcao was standing on the side.

On the right, there is a round head and a round head, with no beard under the chin, looking like a eunuch, smiling and looking harmless to humans and animals.

The one on the left turned out to be a woman, in her forties, dressed in palace clothes, with beautiful eyebrows, but her cheeks were a little thin, giving people a mean feeling.

Zhou Xuan looked at both sides, but he didn't see his father-in-law, nor did he see that there was an errand officer with a water and fire stick who was about to beat someone at any time, the atmosphere of this court was good, and it would not give people a sense of depression that was difficult to redress.

"Are you Zhou Xuan?" The big-eared official asked.

Zhou Xuan responded: "Yes." ”

"Where is your ancestral hometown, why did you come to Jiangzhou?"

Zhou Xuan said what he had said to Dr. Qin again, of course, the prince's words were exempted, and it is estimated that Dr. Qin would not say this.

The official sneered: "Nonsense, what kind of returned overseas Chinese, this official thinks that you are a Diao people, greedy for Qin's commission, so you give people a surrogate marriage, don't you know that you are also a bully?" ”

Zhou Xuan arched his hand and asked, "Your surname?" ”

Wu Gongcao on the side shouted: "What are you pretending to be confused, will you recognize Lord Shi Xu?" ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Master Xu, you said that Xiaosheng is Diao Min and greedy for commissions, what evidence do you have?" Although Xiaosheng is not a rich man, he is also considered to be thin and wealthy, there is a property worth thousands of taels in Laohetang Banxian Street, and Wu Kuan, the son of Wu Gongcao, paid tribute to Xiaosheng's talent the day before yesterday, and specially presented 3,000 taels of silver. ”
