"Quick, quick, follow up!"

In front of the Linjiang Tower, when Zhao Xin got into a carriage parked in front of the door and left, a large group of soldiers wearing the uniforms of the guard post rushed from a distance with knives and guns in their hands in the urging of the military attache on horseback.

"It's dangerous!" Zhao Xin's carriage staggered past the group of soldiers, which made her sigh in her heart, if she was entangled by these people, it would be troublesome.

"Stop!" When the carriage drove to an intersection near Linjiang Tower, Zhao Xin, who was in deep thought, suddenly spoke, lifted the curtain and said to the coachman.

"Young Master, what's the matter?" Hearing this, the coachman hurriedly pulled the reins of the horse and stopped, turned around and asked.

"Go to the inn where the students of Xiangyang Mansion stay." Zhao Xin groaned for a moment, resolutely made up his mind, and said in a deep voice to the groom.

"Okay." The groom nodded, and then flicked his whip at the horse pulling the cart, and turned into a fork in the road ahead.

Zhao Xin lowered the curtain with a cold expression, because Li Hongyu's opponent this time was too strong, so she had to go to find a helper, and looking at Wuchang City, the current one who could help with this was undoubtedly the Xiangyang Mansion student who came to prepare for the exam.

Li Hongyu is the head of this Xiangyang Mansion children's test, and he is in the limelight, he can be said to be the representative of the students of Xiangyang Mansion in Wuchang City, and the reputation of the students of Xiangyang Mansion is both prosperous and damaged, so how can the students of Xiangyang Mansion watch him being framed by Cui Gongzi and Zhang Quan?

What is especially important is that the students have been reading the books of the sages since they were young, and they have the pride and pride of the readers, although they are not jealous and hateful, but they must hate the bullying of men and women by the children of the powerful, and they cannot sit idly by.

Moreover, the victim Li Hongyu is still the best among the students, which will naturally make the students in Wuchang City cold and bitter against the enemy.

Therefore, as long as someone can guide them secretly, then those students in Xiangyang Mansion who have not yet stepped into the officialdom and are affected by secular ideas will definitely attack him in groups and support Li Hongyu in this case.

At the same time, the soldiers who arrived at the Linjiang Building began to drive away the diners of the Linjiang Building, and the commotion in the Juyi Hall had already alarmed those who came to drink, from the first floor to the third floor all talked about what was happening with great interest, and the corridor on the third floor was full of people who were watching the excitement with great interest.

"Second son, where is the gangster?" This time, it was a thousand households who led the troops to Linjiang Tower, and after entering the Juyi Hall, he bowed his hand to Cui Gongzi and said with a gloomy expression, "This official wants to see which blind guy dares to provoke the second prince and the little marquis!" ”

"Ma Qianhu, you are the chief official of the Qianhu Office, and you should handle the case impartially, and you must not bring personal emotions and likes and dislikes, so as not to make people think that the Dusi Yamen has no way to teach."

If it is not wrong to leave the attitude of this thousand households in the past, but now Zhang Quan's small life is held in Li Hongyu's hands, so Cui Gongzi's brows furrowed and then glanced at the thousand households, and said in a deep voice.

"What the second son said is very true, this official was abrupt just now, and he will definitely act according to the law." Ma Qianhu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw Cui Gongzi glaring at him, but he didn't have time to bow to Cui Gongzi and answer solemnly, secretly guessing Cui Gongzi's intention to do so.

You must know that there are very few people in this Wuchang City who can make Cui Gongzi jealous, not to mention that there is also Zhang Quan, the little marquis, who is in the formation, so Cui Gongzi is not polite to the person who provoked them at all, is the other party not small.

Cui Gongzi did not explain to Ma Qianhu, but led him to the suite that was strictly guarded by Wang Tieniu and others, and when he entered the suite, Ma Qianhu was stunned and looked at Zhang Quan, who was sitting on a Taishi chair and moaning.

Zhang Quan not only had a bandage on his head, but also a leg on a stool that was wrapped like a dumpling, and it seemed that he was seriously injured.

"Second son, little marquis, this is ......"

Looking at Zhang Quan, who looked embarrassed, Ma Qianhu looked at Cui Gongzi in shock, he didn't know that Zhang Quan was beaten before, and he didn't expect that someone would dare to offend even the dignified little prince anyway.

"The head of the Li case, this is Ma Qianhu of Wuchangwei, after receiving the report from the people below, he came to investigate the case, can you hand over the little marquis to him for trial?" Cui Gongzi ignored Ma Qianhu, he couldn't answer Ma Qianhu's question, but asked Li Hongyu with a smile.

"Cui Gongzi, according to the rules of our Ming Dynasty, after someone comes from the yamen, you should first inquire about the personnel at the scene, and it seems that it is not in accordance with the law to let the little marquis follow the people from the yamen of the guard!"

Li Hongyu had already heard what Ma Qianhu said outside the suite before, and it was obvious that they would favor Zhang Quan, so he replied quietly.

"Ma Qianhu, don't let your people inquire about the people at the scene to see what happened." Cui Gongzi's eyes suddenly flashed with a vicious look when he heard this, and his dissatisfaction was overflowing, but no matter how dissatisfied he was at this time, he had to follow Li Hongyu's words, so he said patiently to Ma Qianhu.

"Cui Gongzi, this is a bit of a hurry, according to the rules set by Hong Wuye, this case should be tried jointly by the local state and county yamen and the yamen of the guard."

Without waiting for Ma Qianhu to reply, Li Hongyu suddenly spoke, and said to Cui Gongzi in a deep voice, "The people from the Jiangxia County Government are downstairs, and they should come to the scene with Ma Qianhu to inquire and collect evidence." ”

Ma Qianhu's face sank when he heard this, he didn't expect Li Hongyu to dare to bargain with Cui Gongzi, from Cui Gongzi's name for Li Hongyu, he knew that Li Hongyu was just the head of a state capital children's test in Huguang, what qualifications did he have to talk about here, could it be that he was impatient?

"The first words of the Li case are reasonable." Cui Gongzi now hates Li Hongyu's teeth, but he can't save Zhang Quan's life, so he said to Ma Qianhu with an expressionless face, "Ma Qianhu, call those people from the county government to handle the case together!" ”

Ma Qianhu glanced at Cui Gongzi in some surprise, but he didn't expect Cui Gongzi to endure it again, and then bowed to Cui Gongzi and ordered his subordinates to go and invite the people of Jiangxia County.

If Ma Qianhu knew that Zhang Quan's injuries were due to Li Hongyu, then he would definitely not despise Li Hongyu, and would be as jealous of Li Hongyu as Cui Gongzi, because a "madman" like Li Hongyu, who doesn't care about life and death, is better off provoking less.

"The little one has seen Cui Gongzi and Master Qianhu."

After a while, a middle-aged errand officer of the county government was led into the Juyi Hall by a hundred households, and saluted Cui Gongzi and Ma Qianhu who were talking in the Juyi Hall with a smile on his face.

"Where's your lord from the county government?" Seeing an errand officer coming, Ma Qianhu's brows furrowed, and he asked.

"Lord Hui Qianhu, the adults of our county government are going out on business today, and they are not in the government." The officer bowed and explained.

"Business trip?" Ma Qianhu sneered when he heard this, he wouldn't believe the officer's words, if he didn't guess wrong, the officials of Jiangxia County knew that the matter of Linjianglou was very tricky, so he stayed away, for fear of causing some trouble.

"This case involves a dispute between military households and civilian households, according to the law, your county government should be jointly tried and verified by our guard yamen, since the adults of your county government are out on official business, then this official is here waiting for them to come back to inspect the scene together, so as not to be unfair."

Ma Qianhu glanced at Cui Gongzi, only to see Cui Gongzi shaking his head slightly at him, so he said to the messenger with an expressionless face, "The little marquis has been injured, if the little marquis is delayed, I am afraid that this responsibility will not be borne by the official." ”

"Little Hou Ye is injured?" The errand officer was stunned for a moment when he heard this, he only knew that there was a terrible scream coming from the righteous hall, and he didn't know that it was Zhang Quan who was injured.

Ma Qianhu ignored the officer, but walked over and communicated with Cui Gongzi in a low voice, judging from the current situation, if the people from the county government did not appear, Li Hongyu would definitely not let Zhang Quan go, otherwise he would be rounded and flattened by Cui Gongzi and Zhang Quan in the future, and he would die in the prison of the yamen of the guard.

The officer immediately realized the seriousness of the situation, and he didn't know Zhang Quan's injury when he couldn't enter the suite, which made his heart hang up, and he hurriedly turned over and left to report the news.

Obviously, what he said earlier about the officials of the county government going out on business was just a pretext.

There are not many officials in the Jiangxia County Yali, and there are four counties, county officials, master books and canonical histories, and the rest are either officials or errands.

Among the four officials of the county government, only the three officials who have the power to hear cases are the magistrate, the county magistrate, and the chief bookkeeper, and the canonical history cannot try cases as an official position that does not enter the stream, and it seems that there is a great chance that the three people of the county magistrate, the county magistrate, and the chief bookkeeper will leave the county government at the same time, but in fact, this situation will not happen.

The reason is simple, if all three of them leave the county office, then the county government will have no officials in charge, which is a serious dereliction of duty, and it is bound to be punished by the superiors, so that the county government will not be able to stagnate due to the lack of decisive people.

As Ma Qianhu thought, because Cui Gongzi and Zhang Quan were involved, the magistrate of Jiangxia County did not want to intervene in the case of Linjianglou, and planned to let the people of the guard house deal with it first.

Anyway, the people from the yamen of the guard will definitely compete to try this case, and then the county yamen can get a report of the case, and if there is any trouble in the future, it will also be the people from the yamen of the guard in front.

Therefore, the errand officer of the Jiangxia County Yamen has been waiting downstairs in Linjiang Tower, and has no intention of intervening in the case, but now it seems that this will not work, in case of delaying Zhang Quan's illness, then the Jiangxia County Yake will not be able to eat and walk around.

Therefore, the messenger hurriedly returned to the county government to report the news, God knows that the injured person in the Linjiang Building will be Zhang Quan, the little marquis, he thought that Cui Gongzi and Zhang Quan and others were teaching someone upstairs, but he didn't expect that the person who was repaired turned out to be Zhang Quan.
