On the stone road, Yue Zhangjiu'er walked leisurely to the inn, and the two chatted with each other. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Brother Yue?"
"Huh?"
"Are we really going to live in that house?"
"yes, didn't I buy it just to live."
"How do you live then? ."
"Just stay like that... Hey... Jiu'er, would you rather have a room for yourself or share a room with me? β
"Bah, what do you want! Everyone says that you are chivalrous, why don't you speak properly. Jiu'er said angrily, but then her little face turned pale, "Brother Yue, there is something I've been thinking about for a long time, I... β
"What's the matter?" Yue Zhang stopped and turned to look at her.
"Brother Yue, you bought me," Jiu'er Fan clenched his fists and said firmly.
"Huh? What kind of play is this? Yue Zhang's jaw almost flashed, but the satin under his arm really fell to the ground.
Jiu'er squatted down, picked up the satin, and gently patted the dust on it, her eyes dodging. "I've always been with you, I was in the inn, and now I'm going to live in a new house with you. Anyway, people will gossip about you. I asked someone to help me write a deed of sale, you... Look... As he spoke, he took out a neatly folded contract from his bosom.
Yue Zhang took a cursory look at it with a smile and a smile, only to see the book: Selling words; The Ren family has a female Jiu'er, who is fifteen years old, and is willing to sell herself to Yue Zhang's name as a maid. The price of the tooth is paid in the same pen. I am afraid that there will be no evidence, and I will never return.
"Jiu'er, what are you thinking about every day in your head?" Yue Zhang tore the contract into several pieces and threw them on the ground. "You remember, I never care what others think of me, as long as I feel that what I am doing is right and I am happy, you can live here with peace of mind, you know?"
Jiu'er nodded heavily with red eyes.
"Brother Yue?"
"Don't talk about selling yourself anymore!"
"No, I want to go back to Zhuangzi tomorrow to worship my father."
"Then go, I'll go with you tomorrow if there is nothing to do."
"Don't, I'll go by myself, you have so many things to do every day." γ

As soon as the two of them walked into the inn, they saw Yue Si'er, who was like ants on the hot pot in a hurry.
"Oh, my uncle, where did you go, there are three big officials in the capital, and they want to try the matter of Huangzhuang, the county lord asked me to call you to verify the confession, I have been waiting for you here for a long time. Let's go! β
Yue Zhang handed over the things to Jiu'er, and hurriedly followed Yue Si'er to the county office.
In the hall of the county government's mansion, Zhao Zihong, Shen Runhe, and Cheng Guangxian were playing with the tea leaves in the tea bowl without a dozen, and the tea in the tea bowl was already cold.
Hu Ying was sweating profusely, and kept glancing at Yao Guangxiao, signaling him to find Yue Zhang. At this moment, Yue Zhang hurriedly came to the door, asked to see him, and walked into the hall.
Yue Zhang was just about to confess to them when he heard a muffled sound - Shen Run slapped the table fiercely and shouted, "What an unruly little official!" I don't know where to go when I am on duty, do you usually do this errand? β
Yue Zhang's heart suddenly became angry when he heard this, but he thought that he had indeed used his duty time to do private affairs today, so he suppressed his anger and honestly confessed his guilt. "Pleading, my lords, Haihan, no one has notified the subordinates in advance to summon you, I'm really sorry."
Shen Run was originally an anxious child, and the unique nature of the work of the Metropolitan Procuratorate contributed to this temperament, so he was a little unrelenting. "What kind of subordinate are you! What is your position and what kind of official residence do you have? A petty official like you is not good at doing things, and he doesn't know the rules, so I really don't know how you go to the office. β
Hu Ying was stunned when she heard this, thinking that this imperial history was too aggressive.
Yue Zhang also held back his anger, but in fact, what Shen Run said made sense, Yue Zhang's head catcher is indeed not an official, and the fast catch belongs to the officials, and there is no grade or rank. It stands to reason that in the face of high-ranking officials like Shen Run and Hu Ying, they should kneel down and call themselves villains.
However, Hu Ying had asked Yue Zhang before, so in the past, Yue Zhang claimed to be a subordinate official in front of him, and Hu Ying didn't care.
Seeing this, Zhao Zihong coughed and said, "Shen Yushi is angry, it's not early, let's finalize the confession, and tomorrow we can summon the eunuch in charge." β
Seeing this, Cheng Guangxian also hurriedly said: "Yes, please also ask the head catcher to take the confession involved in the case." β
Yue Zhang went out and instructed Yue Si'er to go to the patrol room to get the confession taken by Fang 5 during the interrogation in the past few days.
Yue Zhang's five thoughts in the past few days, learned that his subordinates were dispersed by Yue Zhang, his family property was seized by the county government, and after the county ordered Hu Ying to write to Zheng Bin, Fang Wu's psychological defense line had collapsed, coupled with Yue Zhang's unique interrogation methods, Fang Wu confessed all the evil things he had done over the years that he could remember.
Not long after, Yue Si'er brought the thick stack of confessions, and Yue Zhang presented them to Hu Ying, who then handed them over to Zhao Zihong.
The three of them took a cursory look at the ten lines at a glance, picked and took out a dozen of them, and set them aside.
Zhao Zihong stroked the short beard under his chin, and said: "These confessions are slightly inappropriate according to the official's opinion, according to Fang Wu's confession, it is obvious that Zheng Bin, the eunuch in charge of Huangzhuang, and the local bullies have done evil together. In the confession, there is a slight exaggeration of what is said here. Hu County Order, do you say yes or no? β
Wang Chun and Yao Guangli, who were sweating profusely, immediately lit up their eyes and were ecstatic when they heard what he said. Hu Ying and Gu Minzhi were shocked and couldn't believe it.
Hu Ying collected her thoughts and said: "My lord Mingjian, other evil deeds may have been done by Zheng Binfang's five gangs, but this forcible occupation of people's land, if there is no county master to participateγγγγγγ β
Zhao Zihong didn't wait for Hu Ying to finish speaking, shook his hand to interrupt, and said: "Hu Zhixian, the emperor handed over this case to the three divisions for trial, and the three of us have our own judgment." Although the official is in the criminal department, he often deals with the local government. There may be colleagues in a county who disagree, or there are political opinions, but in the final analysis, it is still a family, if it is not a big traitor, Hu Zhixian does not need to be too truth-seeking. Besides, you are the head of a county, and the officials under your rule are involved in this big case. Although it is said that you participated in the report, but this dereliction of duty of His Majesty will not be able to run, and it will be slightly detrimental to your future future! β
Hu Ying's face turned red when he heard this, he didn't know whether it was Shangguan who had any special arrangements, or Wang Chun and Yao Guangli's means to go through the sky and find someone to inform the presiding official. But either way, it wasn't something he could resist.
So he was full of anger in his heart, but he still said "obey the adult's disposal", stepped aside, and said no more.
Yue Zhang saw the performance of several people in his eyes, watched Wang Chun and Yao Guangli first tremble, then relieved, and then looked at Hu Ying and himself as a villain, and stepped forward at the moment, and said loudly: "Adults, please listen to me."
Fang Wu's confession said that at first, he only took advantage of Zheng Bin's position to embezzle the money of the Huangzhuang to open the Qinglou Gambling House, but after getting acquainted with Wang Chunyao Guangli, the four of them used the name of Zheng Bin's Huangzhuang dedication, Fang Wu's rogue means, Wang Chunyao Guangli's position began to forcibly seize the land of the village, forcing him to either surrender to the Huangzhuang or transfer it to Fang Wu. If it weren't for the huge profits collected by these two people, Zheng Bin and Fang Wu would not have dared to be so rampant! If these two wolf-hearted things are punished, what is the reason of heaven? β
"Presumptuous! Come on, drag this roaring bastard out of here! β
Zhao Zihong saw that the original sure matter was openly overturned by a small catcher, he knew that such a treatment was indeed unfair, but he couldn't tolerate a small official to refute himself in public, and immediately became angry and angry, and beckoned Yue Zhang to take him down left and right.
His followers immediately entered the hall, thrust a water and fire stick into Yue Zhang's back, set him up and dragged him out of the hall.
Yue Zhang was in the air, his feet off the ground, unable to exert force, his arms were held by water and fire sticks, and he couldn't move. One can only shout injustice.
Yue Si'er, who was outside the hall later, pulled out the waist knife with a bang when he saw this, although his frightened hands trembled a little, he still shouted: "Put people down!" β
The two followed the kung fu of a stunned man, Yue Zhang broke free of the water and fire stick, and kicked the follower next to him to the ground.
The other followed with a fire stick and threw it at Yue Zhang, who took a step forward by means of a street fight, clinging to his chest, and punched him in the chin, knocking him to the ground.
Seeing this, the crowd outside the hall hurriedly picked up the guy, and several people worked together to snatch the knife from Yue Si'er's hand, knocked the stick to the ground, and rushed into the house to arrest Yue Zhang.
When Yue Zhang saw Yue Si'er being beaten, he yelled, picked up the water and fire sticks on the ground, and fought with them.
"The Divine Decree has arrived! Huairou County Ya Catcher Yue Zhang listened to the order! β
At this moment, a shrill voice came from not far away.
