"Huh?!"

When Zheng's mother heard this, her mouth was open enough to stuff a turnip, and it took a while to realize that she would be greedy for a life lawsuit, and knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Lord, lord, little woman wronged......"

"Wronged?"

Zong Jiyuan on the side spoke again,

"Tell me, where did you wrong?"

"This ......"

Zheng's mother thought about it for a long time, and finally remembered something,

"The old man said that he hanged himself, but why did she ...... for no reason?"

"Why? Do you think we don't know?"

Zong Jiyuan sneered,

"That girl is very happy these days, but you yourself told us, which means that she already has a sweetheart, and plans to reunite with that person from Congliang to live her own life. And you were greedy and refused to let her go, so you hanged yourself in despair, isn't that the case? ”

"What?!"

When Zheng's mother heard this, she was even more surprised and had nothing to say.

At this time, He Ruichang also refused to give the other party a chance to breathe, and said loudly,

"If it weren't for you killing people, how would you explain these things! Okay, interrogation here, forgive you and you won't honestly confess, San Lang, take this Diao woman back to the county office, and the official will strictly interrogate her! ”

"Yes, sir!"

Diao Saburo walked over, picked up the woman, and dragged her out of the door, followed by Master He and Zong Jiyuan, and also walked out of the room.

Before going downstairs, Zong Jiyuan subconsciously turned his head and looked in front of Ruixi's door, and sure enough, he saw the little girl poking out her little head and looking over, so he smiled at her.

When they came downstairs, the servants guarding the two emperors approached in an orderly manner. Walking forward, Zong Jiyuan was still thinking, it would be best to catch another thug, so that there would be more confessions and a comparison, but who should be arrested?

She was thinking about it, but she didn't expect that there was really a guy who didn't know what to do with it.

But when he saw the big man called "Gengzi" coming towards him, he looked up and saw that Zheng's mother was caught and walked out, so he couldn't help but say, picked up a wooden stick from the side, and hit Diao Sanlang, shouting while beating,

"Let go of Mother Zheng, don't let you take her away!"

Diao Saburo was amused and angry when he saw it, grabbed the woman and greeted him in the direction he was calling, the big man was so frightened that he hurriedly withdrew the stick and stretched out his hand as if to pick it up, but who knows, he was immediately pulled back by Diao Saburo, and threw the woman to an errand officer next to him, and said "Look at this Diao woman", and then his figure flashed, and in a blink of an eye, he came to the Gengzi, and while he was stunned and had not yet reacted, he raised his hand to slap him twice, scolded,

"Dare to beat the tolerance, you are such a big dog!"

"You—how dare you hit me!"

Gengzi covered his face and shouted.

Diao Saburo said disdainfully,

"It's you dog slave who doesn't know what to do! Brothers, lock him up and bring him back to the yazhong. ”

"Yes!"

The two servants on either side put chains around the man's neck and dragged them out.

As a result, all the people in Yichun Temple were frightened, and many of the guests left in a hurry without knowing what was going on and fearing that they would be implicated.

He Ruichang didn't bother to care about the others, and walked back with his group.

On the way, Lord He lifted the sedan curtain and saw Zong Jiyuan riding a horse following him, so he beckoned,

"Ji Yuan, you come closer."

"My lord, is there something wrong?"

Zong Jiyuan flicked the horse's head, let the horse get closer to the sedan chair, and asked.

He Ruichang smiled and said,

"What do you think about this case?"

"Sure enough, my lord, you know it very well in your heart,"

Seeing that the adult was really asking, Zong Jiyuan couldn't help but laugh too,

The student thought that it was very likely that the girl had eloped with her lover last night, but this woman knew what was going on, but she refused to tell the truth, and pushed it all away, but if she still refused to tell the truth and the details, it would be difficult for us to investigate the case. That's why the student wanted to scare her and force her to tell the truth. ”

"You little clever ghost,"

He Ruichang listened and said with a smile,

"I knew you must have some kind of idea, okay, the official already has a number in mind."

The group returned to the county office and directly escorted the two guys back to the side of the lobby to wait, and He Ruichang did not delay or order,

"Re-ascend immediately!"

"Huh!"

The officers responded in unison.

Everyone was walking to the front of the hall, and suddenly, Lu Hong, who was on duty in the gatehouse, ran over and came directly to Zong Jiyuan's side and said,

"Master, just now when you all went out to investigate the case, a scholar came and said that he asked to see you, and said that the matter was very important, and he had to see you in person no matter how before he could tell it."

"Oh, who's that?"

Zong Jiyuan listened and asked in some surprise.

Lu Hong shook his head,

"When I asked him, he wouldn't say anything."

"Who the hell is this......

I had the heart to take a look, but now that I was about to be promoted to the court, and I wasn't doing well, Zong Jiyuan couldn't help but hesitate.

Master He also heard the conversation between the two people, so he turned around and said,

"Ji Yuan, go and take a look, the matter of this case and the official probably already have a few in his heart, you just have to go, in case there is really something important and delayed, it will not be good."

"Alright then, students try to get back as soon as possible."

Zong Jiyuan bowed slightly, turned around, and walked towards the gatehouse with Lu Hong.

Although it is a porter, as a place for the officers to be on duty all day and all night, it is naturally warm, and as soon as the two of them enter the door, they feel the heat blowing in their faces. Zong Jiyuan took off his hood and looked up, and saw a young man dressed as a scholar sitting on the bench next to the door, twenty-four or five years old, who was born skinny, but he was very naïve, and he was inevitably suspicious.

At this time, Lu Hong said on the side,

"Master, it's he who wants to find you."

"Oh, yes,"

Zong Jiyuan looked at the scholar very suspiciously,

"Excuse me, brother, are you looking for me?"

"Huh?"

When this scholar saw someone coming in, he had already stood up, listened to the conversation between them, and his face was suddenly a little surprised, and now he heard Zong Jiyuan ask, and he was even more surprised, and asked cautiously,

"You—You're Zong Jiyuan? The grandmaster of this county government ......"

"I, Zong Jiyuan, am also the master of this Liaodong County Ya, are you looking for me?"

Zong Jiyuan asked again.

The scholar listened, hesitated for a moment, and then showed an expression of "determined to die" on his face.

"That's right, if you're Zong Jiyuan, then I'm looking for you, and I'll ask you for something!"

"If there's something going on, please come inside, sit down and talk about it."

As he spoke, he motioned for him to go to a lower part of the room so that it would be warmer.
