"This poor master, it is Li Hongyu below, I don't know what the poor master is looking for?"

After stabilizing his mind for a while, Li Hongyu went to the front yard to meet the messenger of the county government of Xiangyang County who was waiting there, and asked quietly.

"That's Li Hongyu?"

The stout officer in the lead frowned, glanced at Li Hongyu with some surprise, and then shook the order in his hand to Li Hongyu, and said expressionlessly, "You are involved in a case, and now go back to the court with us." ”

"Locked!" As he spoke, the stout officer shouted at his men with chains in their hands.

Hearing this, the subordinate immediately rushed forward and shook the iron chain in his hand and put it around Li Hongyu's neck to prevent Li Hongyu from escaping.

"This poor master, a scholar in Xia is powerless, so he doesn't need this chain!" Li Hongyu immediately realized that the situation was serious, and usually only those felons would be chained, so he motioned to Rou'er on the side to hand a few pieces of broken silver to the stout servant, and said tentatively.

"Do you want to bribe the officer?" Unexpectedly, the stout officer glanced at the broken silver in Rou'er's hand and knocked it off, and then waved at the officer behind him, "Go back!" ”

"Wait!" At this moment, a voice interrupted the stout officer, Zhao Xin walked over quickly from a distance, it turned out that she came to check after learning that the messenger came to the door, but she didn't expect to see Li Hongyu being chained away by the messengers, so she opened her mouth to stop it.

"Who are you to dare to interfere with the Yamen's errand?" The stout servant glanced at Zhao Xin, and saw that he was dressed luxuriously like a child of a wealthy family, so he asked with a straight face.

"You don't need to know who this son is, this son wants to remind you that Brother Li is the head of the case in Jiangkou County, and he is about to be awarded a meritorious name by the Scholar Officer, and you are not afraid of being punished by the Scholar Officer?"

Zhao Xin didn't answer the stout officer, but stared at him coldly and said, "The so-called leaving a line in doing things, I want to see you in the future, do you have to make things so unbearable?" ”

The stout officer's face suddenly changed when he heard this, he naturally knew that Li Hongyu was the head of the Jiangkou County examination, but because Li Hongyu would be awarded the merit of Xiucai by the promotion officer after the college examination, so now Li Hongyu has no fame to be exact, so he dared to let his subordinates lock Li Hongyu with iron chains.

It is precisely because of this that Li Hongyu was able to participate in the next government and hospital examinations, taking advantage of the time difference before gaining fame.

However, although Li Hongyu has not yet gained fame, he has finally been admitted, and it is indeed extremely inappropriate for a stout errand to do so, and it is an insult to the face of scholars.

"Boss, don't hurt us little ghosts when they fight." At this moment, an errand officer came to the stout officer and whispered to him.

Li Hongyu is not an unknown person, he has recently become famous in Xiangyang City, not only the grandson of the great Confucian Zhao Guangfeng, but also because of the feat of "destroying the family and relieving the needy", he is well received by the outside world.

If it weren't for the above to suppress this tricky errand, the stout errand would have eaten enough to provoke Li Hongyu, the new head of Jiangkou County!

"Let go of him!" Therefore, after listening to the officer's admonition, the stout officer groaned for a while, and shouted at the lock officer with an expressionless face, he was just an errand runner, there was no need to mix himself up, it was better to protect himself.

"Dare to ask this poor master, why did you want to detain the head of the Li case?" Waiting for the errand officer to remove the chain from Li Hongyu's neck, Zhao Xin looked at the stout errand officer quietly and asked, she was very curious about what kind of lawsuit Li Hongyu could be involved in, and she actually ordered the county government's errand laborers to arrest Li Hongyu.

"The case is serious, and I have nothing to say, if I want to know what he has done, I will go to the yamen." The stout officer naturally would not reveal the case to Zhao Xin, and after glancing at Zhao Xin, he asked his subordinates to take Li Hongyu and leave.

"Don't worry, I'll go with you and see what the hell they're up to!" Seeing this, Zhao Xin hurriedly followed, and opened her mouth to comfort Li Hongyu, who was sandwiched between the two messengers, and her eyebrows frowned slightly, in her opinion, Li Hongyu, who was cowardly and introverted, could not cope with this sudden disaster at all.

"Hmm!" Looking at Zhao Xin, who was following closely behind with a concerned expression, Li Hongyu couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and nodded to Zhao Xin, a friend like Zhao Xin is worth associating.

When Li Hongyu was taken to the county government of Xiangyang County, the hall was being promoted to try the case, and there were several men and women kneeling in front of the hall, and a thin middle-aged man wearing an official robe of the eighth grade sat on the lobby, looking at Li Hongyu who entered the door expressionlessly.

"Why don't you let Ben Gongzi go in to hear the trial? Is there something unscrupulous about you? ”

Li Hongyu had just entered the lobby and was looking at the emaciated middle-aged man, when Zhao Xin's angry voice came from behind him, "This case is about the innocence of the head of the Jiangkou County trial, if you dare to try the case behind closed doors, this son will go to the government to beat the drum and report to the government, and see how the prefect will deal with it!" ”

Hearing this, Li Hongyu couldn't help but be moved in his heart, his affairs had nothing to do with Zhao Xin, and the words he gave to others had long been avoided and avoided for fear of it, but he was upset with himself.

"Let him in." The official sitting in the lobby frowned, perhaps realizing that Zhao Xin was not the kind of person who was easy to fool, so he nodded to a servant standing in front of the hall.

The official then came to the outside of the hall and waved his hand at the messenger who was blocking the door, and those officers let Zhao Xin in, but the Li family who came with him was stopped outside the door, and the two doors were slowly closed.

"Humph!"

Zhao Xin turned his head to look at the closed courtyard door, sneered and strode to the front of the hall, standing outside the warning sign outside the hall with a cold expression to listen to the interrogation, with a trace of disdain on his face.

"Are you famous?" The official sitting in the lobby glanced at Zhao Xin, and then stared at Li Hongyu standing in front of the hall with an expressionless face and shouted.

"Lord Cheng of Yuxian County, the student has no merit yet." Li Hongyu came back to his senses, and knelt down with a double happiness, he was still a civilian before the scholar awarded Xiucai the meritorious name, so he had to kneel in the lobby.

Although this official of Zhengbapin did not reveal his identity, Li Hongyu could easily know from his rank that he was the county Cheng Niu Feng of Xiangyang County Ya, and the county government of Xiangyang County was second only to Lu Shiyuan of Zhixian County.

"Zhang, do you recognize this person?" Niu Feng saw Li Hongyu kneeling down, so he stretched out his hand and pointed at him, and asked a young and beautiful plain-clothed woman kneeling beside him in a deep voice.

"Lord Hui, this person is Li Hongyu, the head of the county trial case in Jiangkou County." Zhang glanced at Li Hongyu and replied.

Li Hongyu was slightly stunned when he heard this, and an ominous premonition immediately came to his heart, in his impression, he had never seen Zhang's family, but Zhang's knew him, which was obviously not a good thing.

"What about you?" Under Li Hongyu's puzzled gaze, Niu Feng asked several men and women kneeling beside Zhang's side again.

"Lord Hui, this person is the man who left Widow Zhang's house." Several men and women muttered in private, and then a tall, thin middle-aged man bowed and replied.

"Widow?" Li Hongyu's eyes flashed with a look of astonishment, and he couldn't help but look at Zhang, he never expected that the other party would be a widow.

As the saying goes, there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, and listening to the words of those men and women seems to prove that they have been to Widow Zhang's house, which is a very bad sign.

Li Hongyu's brows couldn't help frowning together, at this time he already understood why he was sent to the lobby, but he didn't know if the charge against himself was adultery or ****?

No matter what kind of crime Li Hongyu can't afford, the reason is very simple, once he gets involved in the lawsuit, it will inevitably delay tomorrow's government examination, Li Hongyu has no time to spend here, and if he can't find out this case, then he will not be able to participate in the government examination.

If things get worse, Li Hongyu will lose his qualification to take the imperial examination after being charged with adultery, and if he is asked to be ****, he may lose his head.

"What a poisonous ruse!" Thinking that he was very likely to miss tomorrow's government examination, or even be unable to take the imperial examination, Li Hongyu couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, the other party made it clear that he wanted to ruin his future.

However, Li Hongyu is not the kind of person who allows others to rub and pinch flat, Zhao Guangfeng has a very high prestige in Xiangyang Shilin, even the prefect Liu Wenxu will give three points, so he believes that Zhao Guangfeng will definitely find a way to save him.

"Zhang, tell me, how did the two of you meet, and how did you get together?" Just when Li Hongyu was praying that Zhao Guangfeng would come to the rescue, Niu Feng asked Zhang with an expressionless face.

"Back to my lord, last month the woman went to the market, and on the way I met the head of the Li case, when the handkerchief of the woman was dropped, the head of the Li case helped the woman pick it up, and then sent the woman back home."

Hearing this, Zhang raised his head and said with a sad face, "The woman is a widow, and it is inconvenient to see the outsider Li Casehead, so I didn't let him in, I didn't think about it...... Unexpectedly, Li actually climbed over the wall on the first night of the case, pried open the door of the woman's bedroom, and humiliated the woman. ”

"Later...... Later, he told the people his identity and was the head of the new branch of Jiangkou County, saying that he liked the women and would accept them as concubines in the future. ”

As he spoke, Zhang sobbed softly, "The folk woman thinks that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and at the same time she admires the talent of the head of the Li case, so she obeys him, the folk woman is sorry for her dead husband and her ancestors." ”

"Nonsense, my son doesn't know you at all, how could he do that kind of unscrupulous thing!"

Li Hongyu smiled bitterly in his heart when he heard this, it seemed that things were really as he expected before, the other party clearly wanted to use this peachy incident to ruin his reputation, so he shouted angrily to Zhang, "This son has no grievances with you, why do you want to frame this son, where is your conscience?" ”

Seeing Li Hongyu's grim expression, Zhang's eyes were as deep as two sharp knives piercing her heart, so frightened that she couldn't help but shudder, and then lowered her head weakly.

"Bold, dare to roar in court!" At this time, Niu Feng slapped the shocked wood hard, pointed at Li Hongyu and said loudly, "There will be a next time, and this official will be severely punished." ”

"Lord County, the student doesn't know her at all, please be aware of her." Li Hongyu felt helpless in his heart, although he realized that Niu Feng had been bought by the people who framed him, otherwise he would never have tried the case behind closed doors, but he still had to shout grievances to him.

"Hmph, the official will find out what the truth is." Niu Feng glared at Li Hongyu coldly, and then asked Zhang in a deep voice, "Zhang, do you have any evidence that the two of you are secretly fornicating?" ”
