Soon after, the street suddenly trembled.

The officials were in high spirits and glanced to the east of the street.

Soon, a group of officers and soldiers appeared in sight, about dozens of people, armed with knives, guns, bows and arrows, and rushed over with murderous energy.

The leader of the team is named Song Bao, a small nine-pin sesame military attaché.

However, no matter how small the official is, he is also a dignified court official, how can these officials be compared?

"Lord Song......"

A small leader of the officials hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and then whispered a few words in his ear......

"Is there such a thing?"

Song Bao glanced at Snake Ji with a look of surprise, and then glanced at Catcher Kuai, who was lying motionless on the ground.

In his experience, it was already a dead body.

"That's right, that girl is so evil, the brothers didn't see how she made it, so ...... Ahem, we didn't dare to do it easily, so we could only fence them off first to prevent them from escaping. ”

Hearing this, Song Bao couldn't help frowning: "This is a bit unreasonable, since this girl has such a strong strength, how can you waste trap them?" ”

"This ......"

The little boss suddenly looked embarrassed and speechless.

In fact, he still hasn't figured it out......

After hesitating for a while, he replied: "Perhaps, they are scared?" ”

Song Bao smiled coldly: "Hehe, do you believe it?" ”

"Ahem......"

"Have you ever asked them where they came from?"

The little leader shook his head: "No...... But it's certain that they are from other places, not from our county. ”

Song Bao frowned: "Something is wrong...... They killed a quick catcher on the street, and we came with so many people, why are they still calm and relaxed?

Including those two little girls...... Look at it, it's just a look of holding hands and watching a good show, is it possible...... What kind of family members of a big man? ”

The little leader subconsciously looked at it, and then coughed dryly: "This ...... The little ones don't dare to speculate. ”

What if I guess wrong?

So it's better not to guess, lest you get dusty.

"Waste, get out of the way!"

Song Bao scolded angrily, then slowly took a few steps forward, his eyes wandered, and finally locked on to Nie Xiaoqian.

This guy has a bit of eyesight and can see that Nie Xiaoqian is the one in charge.

"This lady, do you know that the one lying on the ground is the catcher of this county?"

"What if you know? Don't know what? ”

Nie Xiaoqian replied lightly.

This tone ...... It made Song Bao a little surprised.

According to his observation, even if the two adults can pretend to be calm and play tricks, those two little girls can't be so good at acting, right?

Especially the little girl who is a few years old, she showed an expression of eagerness, and her face seemed to say: Come and catch me, if you have the ability, come and catch me!

Why do I feel so weird?

Uncanny!

It's weird!

For a while, Song Bao's forehead couldn't help but break out in a fine cold sweat, and he was in a dilemma, this person couldn't catch it, and it wasn't if he didn't catch it.

If you knew this, you should have pretended to have a stomachache and let someone else pick up this hot potato.

"Bold, how can you talk to our Lord Song?"

A guy who didn't have long eyes in the back was in a hurry to pat himself on the back, and couldn't help but shout angrily at Nie Xiaoqian.

"Shut up!"

Song Bao hurriedly raised his hand to stop his subordinates, for fear that if this guy said something even more ugly, it would be difficult to deal with it at that time.

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper Wang also came over, and said with an angry look: "Lord Song, the villain suspects that they instigated those people to take advantage of the chaos to grab food, and quickly arrest them." ”

"Bastard, when will it be your turn to take command of the officer?"

Song Bao immediately turned his head sideways and scolded angrily.

Shopkeeper Wang was startled, and quickly took a few steps back: "The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare." ”

"This matter is up to the official, so you can't say more."

Song Bao shouted at his subordinates and Shopkeeper Wang, then glanced at Nie Xiaoqian, and said in a slow tone:

"I am also acting on orders, and I ask this lady to understand, and go to the county government with me, I believe that the county commander will handle it impartially......"

In front of everyone's eyes, Song Bao can't always be so deadlocked.

This guy is also witty, and even claiming to be under the ...... Anyway, he had already thought about it, as long as he brought people to the county office, he would quickly leave, and what to do with it was a matter of the county order, and it had nothing to do with him.

Even if he really provoked the family of the big man, he just acted on orders, and he never acted rudely, and his attitude was very kind, believing that the other party would not trouble him.

"Go, go, quick, cuff us!"

Princess Ningyang had been waiting impatiently for a long time.

What kind of person, mother-in-law and mother said a lot, if you want to catch it, you can catch it, this princess is not afraid, hum!

To put it bluntly, this girl is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and the bigger the trouble, the more exciting she feels.

Anyway, she believes that with her master's wife, she and her sister can't suffer.

When the time comes, those in charge will know their identities...... Thinking of that wonderful scene, the little girl laughed out loud very unkindly.

"Yes, yes, tie us up, tie us up, tie us up......"

After all, Princess Anyun is younger, so she didn't think too much about it, she just followed her sister to coax her.

The muscles on Song Bao's face kept shaking.

He wanted to cry.

What the is this called?

In other words, ordinary people, either they were so frightened that they shouted injustice, or kowtowed and begged for mercy, but these two little girls looked excited, excited, and excited, and even took the initiative to beg for tying.

What the hell is wrong with this world?

"Boss, these two girls won't ...... There's a problem here, right? One of his men pointed and whispered.

"Get out of the way!"

Song Bao drank angrily.

If he thinks that the two little girls have a problem with their brains, it proves that there is a problem with their brains.

"Ningyang, Anyun, don't mess around......"

Nie Xiaoqian finally spoke up to stop it.

She knows very well the thoughts of these two little girls, simply put, they are childish, playful, and want to make things bigger to be more fun.

However, the two little princesses are not sensible, and she can't follow Hu.

If these guys really let the two little princesses tie up, the consequences will be serious.

After all, it's about royal faces. When the time comes, in order to save face, the emperor will give a holy order, and I don't know how many heads will fall to the ground.

As soon as Nie Xiaoqian spoke, the two little girls didn't dare to make any more trouble, so they could only snort dissatisfiedly at Song Bao and the others.

"This lord, lead the way!"

"Yes yes yes please, please ......"

Song Bao was relieved, with a smile on his face, he raised his hand as if he was greeting his superiors and made a gesture of invitation.

This strange situation made the people watching from afar look at each other......

"What the hell is going on? Didn't these officers and soldiers come to arrest people? How can you be so polite? ”

"God knows ......"

"That lady may be a big man, they can't afford to mess with ......"

"Also, they don't look like ordinary people, they must be the wives and young ladies of big families......"

……

County office.

"Master, something happened ......"

A servant hurriedly ran into the inner hall to find the county order.

The county order's surname is Gou, and his name is Dongxi.

I don't know what his father thinks.

Fortunately, his father is still rich and donated a county order to his son, so he has become an adult Gou, and there are not many people who call him by his name.

"Panic what?"

Gou Dongxi was counting the silver, and his heart replied.

This guy has a strange hobby, he likes to count silver, and he has no energy if he doesn't count it for a day.

There are almost no silver tickets at home, and if you have them, you have to exchange them all for cash, and if you have anything to do, you can take them out and count them.

Even when you sleep, you have to put a pile of silver next to your pillow, and you have to count the silver before you fall asleep. Get up in the middle of the night to untie your hands, and when you finish solving them, you have to touch them and count the silver.

"Old man......"

At this time, the master also received the news, hurriedly walked in, and whispered a few words to Gou Dongxi.

"Is there such a thing? What are they all about? ”

"This ...... The villain has just heard the news, so he can't say ......"

Gou Dongxi frowned and thought about it, his face suddenly startled, and he asked hurriedly: "Master, has the team escorting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Jinyi Hou left this county?" ”

"I've left."

"Are you sure?"

"It's true, I left the camp at noon."

It stands to reason that the officials along the prince's tour are responsible for reception, but the emperor issued another decree, ordering the officials along the way not to mobilize the people, and only need to do a good job of safety in their respective jurisdictions.

Therefore, the local officials did not dare to see the prince, so they could only do their best to ensure the safety along the way, so as to avoid any troubles such as bandits and refugees.

But there is always a mistake in Baimi, and more than a dozen villagers in Maliu Village still have the courage to approach the team, which made the prince feel comfortable with a private visit.

However, apart from the officers and soldiers accompanying the team, the local officials did not know about the prince's private visit.

By the time I found out, it was too late......

"Well, then the official is relieved."

Gou Dongxi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"But master, it sounds like the other party may be a bit of a trick, and he will kill one of us as soon as he makes a move, who would dare ordinary people?"

"Could it be that they are people from the rivers and lakes?"

"This ...... I didn't see anyone, and the villain was not easy to speculate. ”

"Okay, wait until you get to the court......

Gou Dongxi waved his hand impatiently and continued to lower his head to count the silver.

"Yes!"

The master sighed secretly and retreated.

In his heart, he looks down on Gou Dongxi, in addition to silver all day long, he is still silver, and the most excessive thing is that when he is trying a case in court, he also likes to find a few ingots of silver to play with.

Not long after, Song Bao took Nie Xiaoqian and his party into the court.

Without waiting for the county order to appear, he said to a group of officials: "Okay, the person is handed over to you, and the official will go first." ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked out, leading a group of men to leave in a hurry.

Anyway, the next thing is the matter of the prefectural magistrate, and it has nothing to do with him.

After a while, Gou Dongxi walked out with a big belly and with the help of his master......

As soon as he entered the hall, a pair of mung bean eyes glanced at Nie Xiaoqian and Snake Ji, and their eyes were extraordinarily bright.

However, this guy is not stupid, although he feels like a cat scratching, but he can also see that the two big, two and four women in the court are extraordinary, I'm afraid it's really a bit of a problem.

The master also saw a little sign of it, for fear that the county order would come...... After all, there is a criminal record, and more than once or twice.

Let's not go far, let's take two months ago.

A woman ran to the county office to report the case, saying that she was passing through the county with her husband, who was a businessman, and stayed in this county for a few days, but she did not think that her husband had disappeared mysteriously.

Gou Dong was overjoyed to see that the woman looked quite smart, and he had a crooked heart, and insisted that it was the woman who murdered her husband for money, and ordered someone to take her into custody.

When evening came, he ordered the woman to be taken quietly to a small courtyard in the city.

That small courtyard was Gou Dongxi's secret residence, a place for him to play.

After almost half a month, the woman finally regained her freedom...... It's just that he has become insane, and then he has disappeared.

In view of this, the master couldn't help but go over and reminded him in a low voice: "Master, it seems that these four women are not simple, and the master must not torture them......"

"The master knows it!"

Gou Dongxi frowned in response, and then patted the hall in shock: "Who is standing under the hall?" ”

As a result, Nie Xiaoqian did not answer positively, but asked rhetorically: "You are the county magistrate of this county?" ”

"That's right......" Gou Dongxi subconsciously responded, then came back to his senses, and then patted the shocked wood: "Bold, now the official is asking you, who are you?" ”

"I won't tell you, I won't tell you, huh!"

Princess Ningyang snorted coldly at Gou Dongxi.

"Yes, I won't tell you, I won't tell you, huh!"

Princess Anyun did the same, and also snorted.

The officials looked at each other.

They had been on errands for many years, and they had never encountered such a thing in court.

In other words, the little girls from ordinary people's families were so frightened that they hid in the arms of adults as soon as they entered the court, but these two little girls were full of interest and "come here" demeanor.

Moreover, he also confronted the county lord in the court.

They don't know that this is the county lord? Or did you not take the county lord in your eyes at all?

Gou Dongxi was stunned for a while, and couldn't help but pat the shocked wood in anger and shouted: "Ridiculous, too ridiculous, two yellow-haired little girls dare to roar in the court, and someone is ......."

The master was shocked, and hurriedly whispered: "Master, I can't help it, I can't make it ......."

"What is so dead, are you cursing the master?"

Gou Dongxi couldn't let go of his anger, so he could only roar at his master.

"Hey, who's that...... That's right, it's you, if you have the ability, you can quickly put your father-in-law ...... Miss Ben tied up, otherwise Miss Ben will not be finished with you! ”

Princess Ningyang began to be a demon again, what's so fun about asking a few words casually? Why is it different from what is played in the play?

As soon as she spoke, Princess An Yun was naturally not to be outdone, and also shouted: "Who is that, that's right, it's you, if you have the ability, hurry up and ...... Miss tie up, or else...... Hum! ”

This girl didn't know if she forgot the word or was lazy, so she saved a few words and replaced it with hum.

"Poof~"

"Hahaha~"

The court, which was obviously very serious, was disturbed by these two little girls, and it turned out to be like a drama garden, which caused a lot of officials to laugh out loud.

Including Nie Xiaoqian and Snake Ji, they couldn't help biting their lips......

Be reserved, be sure to be reserved.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

"Silence! Silence ......"

Gou Dong was overjoyed and desperately patted the shocking wood.

Finally waiting for the laughter to subside, Gou Dongxi shouted at Nie Xiaoqian again: "This official warns you, this is a public court, how can you wait for you to make nonsense, don't report your name quickly!" ”

"My lord, we're not here to make trouble, we're here to complain."

Nie Xiaoqian responded indifferently.

"Complaint? What is the complaint? ”

"First of all, my lord, why are there so many refugees in your county? There are even quite a few who starved to death? ”

As soon as he heard this, the master's face changed in shock, and he hurriedly said: "My lord, it's a little bad, this woman is not good, don't answer her questions, you have to ask them why they killed our catcher on the street." ”

"Smack!" Gou Dongxi immediately slapped the stunned wood: "Bold, now it's the official who is asking you, why are you asking about the official instead?" Say, why did you kill Lei Catcher? ”

Nie Xiaoqian asked coldly: "May I ask my lord, you keep saying that we killed Kuai, who will prove it?" ”

"My lord, the little one and a group of brothers were present at the time, and the shopkeeper Wang can also testify."

"Okay, quickly summon the king's shopkeeper to the court."

"Yes!"

The other two officials answered, and hurried out of the court to summon people.

As a result, the king's shopkeeper was outside the court, so as soon as the two officials went out, they brought the people back to the court.

"The little people knock on the county magistrate."

Gou Dongxi pretended not to know, and asked, "Who is in the hall!" ”

"Back to the adult's words, Xiaomin Wang Erma is the shopkeeper of the rice shop at the mouth of Dongjie."

"Okay, Wang Erma, tell me how Lei Zhukuai died."

"Back to the adult's words, at that time, a group of Diao people were instigated to forcibly break into the villain's rice shop to steal grain, Lei Zhu quickly brought people to stop it, and the result was ......"

Speaking of this, Wang Erma pointed sideways at Princess Ningyang and Princess Anyun: "These two little girls actually scolded Lei Zhukuai, Lei Zhukuai was about to step forward to explain something, but they forcibly grabbed it and slapped it twice."

Then, Lei Catch is almost out of gas......"

"Yes, yes, my lord, that's the way it is. Obviously, Lei Catcher is dying at their hands. ”

The official chimed in.

"Ridiculous, two slaps and he died? When it comes to evidence, have you asked for an autopsy? Is there any hard evidence? ”

"This ......"

Gou Dongxi was stunned, and subconsciously glanced at the master.

"Ahem, that...... The autopsy takes a certain amount of time......"

"My lord, it's not good, there's a team of officers and soldiers outside......"

At this moment, a servant stumbled in.

"Ridiculous, what is strange about the officers and soldiers, it's not our people yet......"

"No, no, it's not our people......"

Before the official could finish speaking, a dozen people dressed in guard uniforms walked in majestically.

When he saw the other party's clothes, Gou Dongxi's legs were weak......

He was a little knowledgeable, and he recognized it at a glance as the exclusive costume of the palace guards.

"Humble rank, see the two princesses!"

"Inferior rank see Mrs. Gu!"

In the public court, there was a sound of brushing.

"Plop ......"

Gou Dongxi was so frightened that he wanted to stand up, but he didn't stand firm, staggered and fell to the ground.

Her Royal Highness the Princess?

Mrs. Gu?

He finally understood why these four women were not afraid of going to court at all, but had the air of a superior person.

Don't say it, this Mrs. Gu...... Could it be that she is the lady who waits for Gu Ming in brocade?

Otherwise, why should these palace guards be respectful and respectful?

Gu Ming is a first-class hereditary brocade waiter, although he has resigned from his official position, he still enjoys the super treatment of the imperial court in terms of rank.

Nie Xiaoqian is naturally a wife and husband, and she enjoys the treatment of a first-class wife, which is also the highest treatment that a wife of the imperial court can enjoy.

Further up, there are princesses and the like.

"See Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

"See Mrs. Gu!"

The master came back to his senses and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

A group of officials also followed suit.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"

"Jinyi is waiting for the car!"

Unexpectedly, two loud shouts rang out outside.

Gou Dongxi finally relented, and quickly turned over and walked to the door......

However, at this time, his heart was already like a mountain crushing on it, and it was never heavier. At the same time, there is also a feeling of extreme bad premonition.

After all, as the saying goes, don't do anything bad for yourself, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night.

This guy has done too many bad things, and besides, the prince, princess, and Jinyi Hou came at this time...... You can guess with your toes where it came from.

Finished!

It's all over!

Gou Dongxi broke out in a cold sweat......

He couldn't help but think of an old saying: If you often walk by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet.

"Who is the county magistrate of this county?"

As soon as he entered the court, the prince asked in a cold voice.

"We're ...... Gou Dongxi, see His Royal Highness the Prince! ”

Although the crown prince did not show any tokens, with these dozen palace guards, and the prince happened to be passing through here, where did Gou Dongxi dare to have a trace of suspicion?

As for the accompanying party...... Now it seems that he is obviously suspicious and pretends to leave.

"Hahaha, dog thing......"

Princess Ningyang laughed out loud very unkindly.

"Hee-hee, dog thing, dog thing......"

Princess An Yun also followed her sister to coax.

"Ahem, Ningyang, An Yun, be serious in the court."

"Oh~"

The two little girls responded quickly, but they held hands and smiled on their faces.

"What are you doing in a daze, quick, go move the chair......"

Gou Dongxi shouted at the officials.

However, I didn't dare to speak up.

"Yes!"

A group of officials came out with a few chairs on their hands and feet.

"I don't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, and Weichen has missed the welcome, and I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will forgive his sins."

"Okay, this king came this time on a temporary basis, no wonder you."

"That'...... Wechen will go and arrange the hotel now......"

"No, this king is here to investigate the case, not to rest."

Gou Dongxi's face changed in shock, and he said in a trembling voice: "I don't know...... I don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to investigate...... What case is being investigated? ”

"Lord Gou, has the imperial court transferred Gou Dongxi during this drought?"

Sure enough, what should come will come eventually.

There is no way to deny this, Gou Dongxi can only reply: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the relief food has arrived in this county ten days ago, and Weichen is distributing ......"

"Ridiculous, disaster relief is like fighting fire, the food of the imperial court arrived ten days ago, and you are still distributing it in a small county ten days later?

Do you know how many people starved to death outside? ”

"Plop~"

Gou Dongxi was frightened, his legs were weak, and he knelt down on the spot.

"Your Highness is angry, Wei Chen...... Wechen was originally limited to five days to complete the distribution, but as a result, some of his subordinates were ineffective and even ...... even embezzled disaster relief food, so ...... So Wechen is investigating the matter thoroughly......"

This guy is also cunning, knowing that he can't hide the matter of withholding disaster relief food, he simply took the initiative to confess, but he deducted the crime on his subordinates and wanted to hide it from the world.

It's a pity, who can he hide from this little trick?

"Gou Dongxi, stop quibbling, Ben Hou and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have already visited many villages and have full access to conclusive evidence.

Less than 12 out of 10 of the relief food distributed to the victims is likely to be some moldy grain.

The difference is that you colluded with the grain merchants in the city to embezzle the relief grain, and you don't know how many people were killed, so you didn't quickly confess your guilt? ”

"Lord Gu, wronged, how dare the lower officials embezzle the relief grain of the imperial court?"

"It seems that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin...... This is the grain merchant in the city, right? The Great Punishment Waits! ”

"Yes!"

The two guards standing on one side answered, and stepped forward to drag Wang Erma to the hall......

This Wang Erma has been pampered since he was a child, where can he withstand torture?

In addition, the spirit has already collapsed, so it is natural to confess happily to avoid suffering more.

"Wang Erma, you ...... You're spewing blood......"

As soon as he heard that Wang Erma had put all the fault on himself, Gou Dongxi scolded angrily regardless of everything.

"Bold Gou Dongxi, dare to roar in court, come, slap your mouth!"

The prince was furious and immediately gave an order.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

At that moment, a guard stepped forward and picked up a bamboo slice fan, which made Gou Dongxi's fat face turn into a meat bun.

According to Wang Erma's confession, in addition to embezzling disaster relief grain this time, Gou Dongxi's appetite is also very great on weekdays, but almost all the rich merchants in the city have dealings with him.

If anyone's silver is less, Gou Dongxi will find some trouble and force the other party to give gifts...... In short, this guy is notoriously greedy.

But he is the county magistrate, and he holds the power of life and death of the people in the county, and everyone can only swallow their anger......

Of course, this is only Wang Erma's side of the story.

Jing Dongxi is certainly greedy, but how many of these rich businessmen are good things? Otherwise, the people would not have said that there is no traitor, no business, no business, no traitor.

……
