Chapter 85: Sabre rattling
"This prodigal son, I think why he got drunk last night, it turned out that he had this kind of thought, and now it's good, let people catch the adulterer, he is waiting to be cut off!" On the way to Linshui Village, Zhou Yuting gritted her teeth and grumbled there, her face was as cold as if it was covered with a layer of ice. The update is the fastest, the most stable, the fastest update, and the fastest eye-to-eye
Now Zhou Yuting is angry and anxious, she is angry that Li Yuntian is bold and violent about the people's daughters, and she is anxious that Li Yuntian will be in big trouble because of this, she followed Li Yuntian and also investigated some cases, knowing that the ** people's women were going to be hanged.
However, since the perpetrators in those cases were ordinary people, she didn't know that a two-rank jinshi like Li Yuntian could have his crime reduced after committing a crime, so she was very worried about him now.
"Yuting, don't you think things are suspicious? The old man is not the kind of person who doesn't know the importance of it, he knows that he is going to come to the dock today to see off Lu's experience, how can he stay in the Zheng family for so long? Chen Ningning waited for Zhou Yuting to vent the anger in her heart, and quietly reminded her on the side.
"Men don't have a good thing, and they can't do anything under the lust of their minds!" Zhou Yuting snorted coldly and said hatefully.
"Do you think the master is that kind of person? The old man is usually cautious, and he has never even drunk alcohol, how could he do such a stupid thing for the sake of a woman? Chen Ningning shook her head slightly, and reminded Zhou Yuting with a stern expression, "I felt that something was wrong last night, and now it seems that the master has been calculated." ”
"He's been calculated?" Zhou Yuting couldn't help but think of the scene when Chen Ningning came to her last night, and her eyes showed a look of surprise.
"The master has been in Hukou County for a year, and his achievements are obvious to all, but he has also offended many people, and it is not surprising that some people want to harm him." Chen Ningning looked at Zhou Yuting worriedly, "Now that Zheng Gui's conspiracy has succeeded, the master's situation is very passive, and he is likely to be demoted and transferred out of Hukou County." ”
"Demotion and transfer?" Zhou Yuting was stunned for a moment, but she remembered that the ** person was going to be hanged.
Chen Ningning knew that she didn't know about some preferential treatment in the Ming Dynasty regulations for officials like Li Yuntian who were born in Jinshi or Gongsheng, so she sued her for mitigating her crimes.
This made Zhou Yuting couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and her feelings calmed down a lot, as long as Li Yuntian could leave a life, it was more important than anything else.
"What should we do?" After coming back to her senses, Zhou Yuting looked at Chen Ningning a little blankly, she was now confused and at a loss.
"Wait and see what Zheng Gui wants." Chen Ningning pondered for a while, and said solemnly, it is obvious that she is the one who has the idea at this time. The update is the fastest and most stable
Along with Zhou Yuting and Chen Ningning, there were also people from the Baishui Town Inspection Division, Zhao Hua was taken aback after receiving Luo Ming's news, and hurriedly ordered two hundred sergeants in the camp and accompanied them in full armor.
When they arrived at Linshui Village, the sergeants of the Inspection Department surrounded Zheng Zhai, and under the leadership of Zhao Hua, they surrounded Zhou Yuting, Chen Ningning and Lu Tianxing into Zheng Zhai.
At this time, the patriarch of the Zheng clan in Linshui Village was also invited to Zheng Zhai, he was Zheng Gui's uncle, he was already in his old age, and he rarely asked about the affairs of the clan, but now he had to come when such a big thing happened.
Hearing that a large number of sergeants from the Inspection Division entered the house, the patriarch hurriedly led the Zheng family's group out and met Zhou Yuting and others in the front yard.
"I don't know where Zhao Patrol came this time, what happened?" The patriarch had not seen Zhou Yuting, Chen Ningning and Lu Tianxing, but he knew Zhao Inspector, and when he saw Zhao Inspector walking behind the three of them, he knew that the identities of the three were not simple, so he hurriedly said to Zhao Hua.
"Lord Zhixian stayed here last night, and I will come to pick him up." Zhao Hua said to the patriarch quietly, although he also had private contacts with the Zheng family, but it was about Li Yuntian, and he couldn't take care of it so much.
"Hmph, are you going to rob people by force?" Zheng Gui, who was standing beside the patriarch, sneered when he heard this, "In broad daylight, Lang Lang Qiankun, I don't believe that there is no royal law." ”
As he spoke, Zheng Gui waved his hand, and a group of Zheng family servants armed with knives, guns and sticks rushed behind him and confronted the sergeant of the Inspection Division.
Seeing this, the sergeant of the inspection department immediately raised the crossbow in his hand and aimed it at the servants, and in the face of the crossbow arrows with bright arrows, the servants suddenly felt a panic.
"Boss Zheng, the concubine thinks there must be some misunderstanding, can you sit down and talk?" Seeing that the situation at the scene became tense, Chen Ningning waved her hand at the crossbowmen, and the crossbowmen put down the crossbows in their hands, and then she smiled and said to Zheng Gui.
"There's nothing to talk about, I've already asked people to go to the government to report to the officials, and I'll wait for the people from the government to come." Zheng Gui sneered and rejected Chen Ningning, his attitude was very tough.
"You don't want to toast and don't eat and drink, my family was so drunk last night, how could he appear in your daughter's boudoir? Say, "What is your intention?" Chen Ningning couldn't help frowning slightly when she heard this, and Li Daniu, who was standing behind him, couldn't help but stretch out his hand to point at Zheng Gui and shouted loudly.
Li Daniu is Li Yuntian's own brother and Li Yuntian's most trusted confidant, so he naturally wants to stand up for Li Yuntian at this moment, but what he said was taught by Chen Ningning.
"Hmph, you actually beat him upside down, is it because you sent him to the little girl's boudoir?" Zheng Gui looked disdainful when he heard this, and said coldly, "As for whether he is drunk or not, only God knows." ”
"You ......" Li Daniu couldn't help but be furious when he saw that Zheng Gui actually slandered Li Yuntian for pretending to be drunk and taking the opportunity to be light and light.
"Boss Zheng, since we are here, can you let us meet Lord Zhixian." Chen Ningning interrupted Li Daniu with her mouth, and Zheng Gui didn't have the slightest sense to talk in vain here, looking at him quietly.
"Yes, but only a few of you can go, and the rest of us will stay here." Zheng Gui thought about it and felt that if he didn't agree, Chen Ningning would definitely not give up, so he nodded and agreed, but put forward one condition, so as not to let Chen Ningning take the opportunity to rob people at that time.
So, Chen Ningning, Zhou Yuting, Lu Tianxing led Li Daniu and a few others to the back house under the guidance of the Zheng family's servants, while Zhao Hua stayed in the front yard to command.
When Li Yuntian was sitting in the pavilion and worrying about his nerves, he saw Chen Ningning and Zhou Yuting and their party hurriedly walking into the courtyard, with a depressed look on their faces, and slowly stood up, looking quite embarrassed.
"Why are you so careless, you don't wipe your mouth clean when you steal food!" After seeing Li Yuntian, Zhou Yuting suddenly became angry, and couldn't help but step forward and kick his leg, and said angrily.
Hearing this, Lu Tianxing's brows wrinkled slightly unnoticedly, and then he stretched out and looked at the scene in front of him quietly.
"Grandma, where did I steal food, I was so drunk last night that I don't know what happened." Li Yuntian grinned and rubbed the place where he was kicked and beaten by Zhou Yuting, and smiled bitterly at her helplessly, "No matter how I say it, I am also the county master of Hukou County, can you save me some face in front of so many people." ”
"Face?" Zhou Yuting bit her lip and said angrily, "You have been caught and raped in **, what kind of face are you talking about!" ”
"Say, did you do anything to the girl last night?" Then she remembered something, glared at Li Yuntian and said.
"I was so drunk that I can't remember what happened." Li Yuntian's eyes flashed with a look of embarrassment, and he pretended to say to Zhou Yuting helplessly.
Zhou Yuting saw that Li Yuntian did not deny it, and knew what Li Yuntian had done to Zheng Wanrou, so she stomped her foot angrily and kicked Li Yuntian's leg again, making Li Yuntian miserable.
Zheng Gui and the others of the Zheng family looked at the scene in front of them in surprise, they didn't know the relationship between Li Yuntian and Zhou Yuting, they just thought that Zhou Yuting was Li Yuntian's confidante or something, but now it doesn't seem to be like that.
"Young master, while the people from the government are not here, we will escort you out of here." Li Daniu glanced at the Zheng family servants who were vigilantly monitoring them in the courtyard, walked quickly in front of Li Yuntian, and said in a deep voice.
Although the number of servants of the Zheng family is more than that of the county government and the sergeants of the inspection department, those servants and the sergeants of the inspection department are all elites, and they are still easy to deal with the Zheng family's servants.
"My lord, this matter is quite strange, you better leave first and think about it in the long run." Luo Ming also came up, as long as Li Yuntian left Zheng's house, then he could deny it, and when the time came, he could also put a charge on Zheng Gui for slandering the imperial court.
Anyway, as long as Li Yuntian insisted that he had been sleeping in the wing room, with the current level, there was no way to know who the man who slept with Zheng Wanrou last night was.
As for the witnesses at the scene, they are all relatives of the Zheng family, and their words will be greatly discounted in the court at that time, and Luo Ming and other officials can prove that Li Yuntian has been sleeping in the wing.
It's just that in this way, Zheng Gui will definitely stop Li Yuntian from leaving, and a fight is inevitable.
Zheng Gui heard Li Daniu and Luo Ming's words, his face became a little ugly, just like Li Daniu thought, as long as the officials and sergeants of the inspection department at the scene protected Li Yuntian with iron hearts and rushed out, those domestic servants could not stop them at all, and they would only increase casualties.
No one noticed that the corners of Lu Tianxing's mouth showed a hint of an imperceptible smile, as if he was gloating over what happened to Li Yuntian.
"This official is the lord of a county, how can he know the law and break the law!" To everyone's surprise, Li Yuntian shook his head and did not adopt Li Daniu and Luo Ming's proposals.
He knows very well that a lie to cover up with a thousand lies will only make things bigger and worse, so it is better to wait and see what happens and make things clear, so as not to leave future troubles.
"Master, no matter what you do, the concubine will support you." Chen Ningning saw that Li Yuntian had made up her mind, so she stepped forward and looked at her with a resolute expression, she believed that Li Yuntian must have been framed by Zheng Gui.
"There are some things you usually hate, but I'm sure you wouldn't do such a stupid thing." Zhou Yuting stretched out her fist and slammed it on Li Yuntian's chest, and said in a coquettish voice, "Cheer up, if you are wronged, find evidence to wash away your grievances." ”
Li Yuntian's heart couldn't help but warm when he heard this, what he needed most at this moment was the understanding and support of his family.
Lu Tianxing looked at Zhou Yuting in surprise, he never thought that Zhou Yuting would trust Li Yuntian, you must know that Zhou Yuting has always been jealous and hateful, and she hates men who bully women, but this time she not only did not teach Li Yuntian, a villain who raped people's girls, but even encouraged him, which was really beyond his expectations.
Then, a murderous flash flashed in his eyes, and his fists clenched tightly. One
