That Qian Shikang was sitting with Di Renjie, respectfully accompanying him to play chess, the two were both county magistrates, but their qualifications were very different. Especially today, seeing the Xincheng County Order Handling Incident, Qian Shikang couldn't help but feel a little stunned, and he had no expectations for the county seat he was in charge of.

Di Renjie's face was expressionless, the wound on his forehead was scabbed, and he picked up a white piece with two fingers and put it down.

Shen Mengxi's impression of Di Renjie has always stayed at the chubby poor mouth Zhang Damin stage, and he often plays in the face of the thin Di Renjie. Di Renjie rarely spoke along the way, presumably a little disheartened.

Qian Shikang was born in a pure Shu clan and had no foundation, and at the moment he felt confused about the future, trying to get advice and spiritual strength from Di Renjie. It is conceivable that his situation will be the same as Jia Yucun, and he will eventually have to go through some ups and downs before he can know the rules of officialdom.

That Li Suniang recovered a little, so she asked Duoxi to see her life-saving benefactor, and when she saw Shen Mengxi, she folded her hands and put them on her forehead to show her salute. Shen Mengxi looked at her wounds, there was no infection, and she was relieved.

Li Suniang begged them to take her son Zhou Wenyan with them when they left Xincheng, she felt that the Zhou clan would not let her go, Shen Mengxi smiled and said, "If you want, you can also follow me." But you have to sell yourself into slavery. ”

Li Suniang's face changed greatly, and she hesitated and did not speak.

Because they were not worried about Li Suniang's injury, they were delayed in Xincheng for a total of three days, and Zheng Countyling's wife and daughter also accompanied them for three days. They ate local snacks, saw a few scenic spots, visited temples and incense, and listened to a few books in the teahouse.

Di Renjie's injuries also improved greatly, and Shen Mengxi was ready to get up.

During this period, Zheng County Lingshengtang tried Li Suniang's case, and it turned out that after Li Suniang sobered up, she filed a complaint and sued the Zhou family to the county government. Shen Mengxi took Yin'er to listen behind the screen, while Di Renjie and Qian Shikang sat in casual clothes in the lobby.

The officials on both sides held water and fire sticks, knocked on the ground, and whispered "Wei - Wu——! ”

In front of the yamen, there were people on the third floor and the outer three floors watching, but they were silent.

Plaintiff Li Suniang was carried into the lobby sitting on her shoulder and placed in front of the plaintiff's stone on the left, and Zhou Wenyan followed her, looking timidly at the county order and government officials in the hall.

Li Suniang's wound was not healed, but she knew that the nobleman would not stay in Xincheng for a long time, so she supported her sick body and withstood the pain, and she also took the opportunity to go to court to complain. Zheng County ordered her to be injured and prevented her from kneeling, but Li Suniang insisted on being supported by someone to kneel on the plaintiff's stone, she was drenched in cold sweat, her voice was a little weak, but she still spoke clearly, and quickly stated the cause of the case and the facts, and finally said: "If it wasn't for the noble rescue, Li Suniang would have been wronged!" Please Lord Qingtian to judge right from wrong, return my innocence, and severely punish the murderer! The pain and sadness of the wound made her tremble and look quite pitiful. The onlookers were also embarrassed.

Zheng County ordered the defendant Zhou Qin to be brought up, and it turned out that the Zhou family was arrested by Zhou Qin, who arrived at the defendant's name to respond to the lawsuit.

When the prisoner was in the area, Zheng County Ling couldn't help but say that he was shocked, and the hall and the hall were all shocked, and he threw down a red Ming character sign, "The person under the hall is guilty!" Audacious, not from the truth! Before the words fell, he threw out a red slip, "Come on!" Hit this person with 20 boards first! ”

Shen Mengxi was dumbfounded, Qian Shikang was a little stunned, and Di Renjie changed color, all of which undoubtedly reminded him of the experience of being tortured as soon as he entered the Push Hospital, and his chest rose and fell slightly.

But the onlookers applauded, "Fight!" Beat! Shoot him! ”

The two officials held Zhou Qin down, took off his clothes and trousers, and put him on a wooden frame, crackling and fifteen ten, until the skin and flesh were opened, and the ghosts cried wolves. It turns out that the board is to take off her pants, Shen Mengxi guessed, this is probably the reason why Zheng Xianling let her sit behind the screen.

Some of the thoughts, the Zheng County Order did not know, and still tried the case one by one.

After being beaten, the official put on Zhou Qin's clothes and pants and threw them to the right side of the dock in the lobby, that Zhou Qin lay on the ground bloodily, and poured beans from the bamboo tube to confess, saying that his daughter was married, and he wanted to find a piece of fertile land outside the city to marry his daughter, and the plot he liked was just connected to Li Suniang's field, so he wanted to buy it and connect it into a piece, who knew that Li Suniang refused to agree anyway, inadvertently, the family found that Li Suniang went to see the doctor, and the abdomen was bulging, so they thought about it, united with the doctor, and spread rumors that Li Suniang was adulterous and pregnant, The clan dealt with Li Suniang Shentang, and as soon as she died, Zhou Wenyan was only four years old, so naturally what the clan said was what.

Li Suniang glared at Zhou Qin angrily, she knew that it was the best ending to be able to get the county magistrate's name right at this time, and she couldn't ask for more, the person behind Zhou Qin, she was powerless to shake it now, she covered her face with a whimper, and thought sadly, do you really want to sell yourself into slavery?

Zheng County's order passed on that Qiu Langzhong again, and he still went to the court to receive ten boards first, so he honestly confessed, it was Zhou Qin who gave him five taels of silver to buy him, and let him say that Li Suniang was pregnant for five months.

As for the merchant who had long since lost sight of where to sell the goods, Zhou Qin said that he also gave five taels of silver and asked him to perjury in front of the patriarch.

In the end, the witness went to court, and it turned out to be the old doctor Guo, who took out the medical case of the day, which clearly recorded the time and illness of Li Suniang's treatment.

The scribe brushed down the record, handed it over to Zheng County Commander to read, and then gave it to Zhou Qin and Lang Zhong to sign and draw.

In the end, Zheng County ordered the verdict to be pronounced in court, Zhou Qin brutalized his relatives, attempted to kill people, and was exiled for 3,000 miles; Qiu Langzhong violated medical ethics, framed him, and was imprisoned for two years and immediately imprisoned.

"Slap", threw down a signature, ordered Zhou Qin and the two to be imprisoned, the four officials strode forward, dragged the two of them to death like dogs, dragged them down the hall, the people outside the hall immediately applauded and cheered Lord Qingtian, Zheng County Ling looked righteous and serious, "Retire!" ”

Then he made a gesture of invitation to Di Qian and the others, and the three of them went back to the back hall.

Shen Mengxi faintly felt that things were not so simple, but there was no reason to interfere in government affairs, seeing Yin'er listening interestingly, touching his head, the two also stood up. As soon as I turned around, I saw Mrs. Xianling and her second daughter Zheng Qiaoniang also hiding by the door to peek, this Zheng Qiaoniang is ten years old this year, she looks very cute, the same flowers and bones, she has been playing with Yu'er for the past few days, and she also wears a hat when she goes out, and she removes it when she returns indoors, and she often secretly looks at Yin'er.

Shen Mengxi also wanted to know Yin'er's reaction, but Yin'er obviously opened her mind later than the girl, and she suddenly didn't know.

That night, Zheng County ordered a banquet to see off Shen Mengxi and his party, Zheng Qiaoniang was quite reluctant, Yu'er gave her a string of pearl bracelets, and she also gave Yu'er a hand-embroidered silk handkerchief. Shen Mengxi also gave the Zheng family a lot of silk and satin, and also gave the youngest son of the Zheng family a gold collar to show his gratitude.

The Zheng County Order prepared two large boxes of gifts to send, and the Zhou family also carried a box of gold, silver and jewelry, Shen Mengxi did not accept it, only said that he would come back soon, Li Suniang's mother and son kowtowed at the city gate, Shen Mengxi still smiled and said: "If you can't stand it, you will be a slave for me!" Li Suniang heard this and quickly kowtowed.
