Old man Zhou lowered his head.

To be honest, he knew that things were difficult, and even if the county lord was willing to overturn the case for him, his expectations in his heart were not great. Today, he was somewhat relieved to find out the two cell bosses who were guarding his son, and to beat the cell bosses with 30 large boards each for dereliction of duty.

In the eyes of their common people, these officials are also amazing figures, and when they go out to do errands, they also have to be honored as a poor master or official, and now because of the death of his son, he has been beaten with thirty boards, and in his opinion, it can be regarded as a punishment.

Compared to his death and his death in vain, at least the official sent the master to come out and admit that he had been punished.

Now Lao Bao glared at him mockingly, and he was still angry in his heart, but compared to before, when he saw Bao Ertou, he couldn't hold back and wanted to rush up to theorize desperately.

I don't know why, he believes that the new county lord will definitely seek justice for him.

Today, a small justice was recovered, and the matter was blocked, but as long as he is willing to overturn the case and believe in the county master, the county master will definitely be able to redress his son's grievances!

He didn't know where he got the courage, raised his head, and shouted at the back of Lao Bao:

"Bao Ertou, don't get complacent too early, I believe that the new county master will definitely give my Xiaochai a fair hand! Your black-hearted gambling house will close its doors sooner or later, and if you kill my son, you will definitely be damned! ”

Lao Bao gave him another mocking expression and walked away with his men.

The people who ate melons surrounded Zhou Laohan and asked questions about each other, and the focus of their interest was on how the new county magistrate tried the case.

Zhou Laohan only said that the county lord was different from the previous county lord, and he believed that the county lord would definitely be able to repay him justice.

There is no mention of other matters in the trial.

The case has not yet been decided, and it is not good to talk too much now, although he has not studied the law, he still understands some truths.

Later, Che Zhengting sent Zhou Laohan home, and before the case was solved, he still had to protect his safety.

The parties all left the yamen, and the onlookers also left in twos and threes.

Liao Qing returned to the inner house.

When the case was tried, Xu Jiaojiao was not in the court, she belonged to the family of the county magistrate, and she was not qualified to participate in the court trial.

However, her hearing is good, and in the back house, she can hear the previous conversation clearly.

Seeing Liao Qing coming back, he said, "I feel that this case is not simple, and that group of people is also difficult to handle." Now what? Is it okay for Zhou Laohan's security to let Che Zhengting alone? ”

Liao Qing nodded, "It should be okay, Che Zhengting's kung fu is not bad, if it doesn't work, let Che Zhengting bring Zhou Laohan to the yamen and live with us for a few days." ”

This shouldn't be needed for now.

Che Zhengting can't do it alone, and Xu Xiaohei is in the dark.

Xu Xiaohei comes and goes conveniently, although it doesn't like snowy weather, and most of the time it just wants to sleep in a warm place, but there is still vigilance that it should have.

As long as Liao Qing and Xu Jiaojiao assign tasks to it, it can basically be completed.

At this time, Xu Jiaojiao's ears moved slightly, and her spirit spread to the entire yamen, and she heard some unscrupulous voices, all of which were those officials and yamen discussing in private.

It's all disdainful voices.

"I'm afraid this new county lord has a bad brain! When I first arrived, I just ...... with the front of the main book."

"Indeed, how many years has Master Zhang been in Hancheng, the iron-beaten Master Zhang, the county master of flowing water, he didn't visit before he came, who in Hancheng has the final say."

"No, think about the old men of the county, aren't they tough? It's a pity that I don't know how I died, none of them ended well, and the previous county lord was eaten by the snow wolf! The main book is related to the rich businessmen and magnates in Hancheng, and the main book says a word, the magnates in Hancheng have to listen, and the county lord is a P! To tell the truth, the previous county lord was bitten to death by the snow wolf, the head is gone, since the previous county lord died, we don't dare to approach the yard, the people who died are angry, easy to see ghosts. ”

"I still want to overturn the case for Zhou Laohan, what can I do? There is an IOU in his hand at the second end of the package, in black and white, and the main book is also impartial, no matter what he Zhou Laohan does, this property is going to be paid out! ”

"I don't think they will live for a few days, and now they annoy the master book, and there are not a few days of good life, we will wait, they will fight with the gods, we are not touched, whoever wins by then, we will listen to whom, and the province will be the same as before, and it will be affected by the pond fish."

……

Xu Jiaojiao heard it, Liao Qing's ears and hearing were not bad, and she could hear some of them faintly.

Of course, those people are not too shy about it.

Liao Qing and Xu Jiaojiao glanced at each other, "I'll go to the prison to see if there are any clues." ”

Now, I can only rely on myself to find clues.

The conditions are difficult, and they must be overcome.

Xu Jiaojiao followed Liao Qing's footsteps, "I'll go too." ”

In her previous life, she graduated from the police academy and worked in the police station for a period of time, so it can be said that this aspect of investigating cases can be said to be one of her specialties.

The only caveat is that this is ancient, which is different from modern times. For example, if you want to go to the cell now, it is all cement walls in modern times, but here it is an earthen wall.

As soon as the two of them went out, Ji Fu came over with the registered booklet, followed by Yu Bantou.

Liao Qing glanced at Yu Bantou at a cursory glance.

"Yu Bantou, you came just in time. In which room was Zhou Xiaochai locked up in before, do you know? ”

Yu Bantou replied: "Back to my lord, I know this." ”

As a team leader, this kind of thing must be clear.

"Alright, take us there."

The cells or prisons in Hancheng were also built in the yamen, which also belonged to the scope of the yamen.

Its location is in the most remote part of the northwest, the walls are high and the prison is deep, and the door of the cell, which is the first door, is painted with a fierce car.

It is said that it is a gate, but it is actually very short, even shorter than the door of ordinary people's houses.

At the door of the cell, which is the guard's quarter, there is a small hole at the base of the wall on the right side, which is the exit for transporting corpses.

Liao Qing and his party of four were stopped by two jailers at the duty office.

"I've seen Master Du."

Liao Qing said: "Open the door, let's go in and have a look." ”

The two jailers glanced at each other, revealing a look of embarrassment, "My lord, it's dark and damp inside, dirty and obscure, it's better not to go in, okay, even if you get your clothes dirty, it's not worth it......"

Liao Qing raised his eyebrows, "That's the official's business, open the door!" ”

The two jailers remained motionless, and one of them whispered, "Lord Bookkeeper has said that no one is allowed to enter this place without his decree......"

Before he finished speaking, Liao Qing slapped him, beat the jailer around a few times, knocked down the table stick all the way, and finally fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, grinning his teeth, and crying out in pain.
