Chapter Eighty-Seven: Who's Under the Hall?
The backyard of the county government
Chen Hongwen, who is over fifty years old, is in Aunt Shen's house, drinking tea and listening to music, and his life is not appropriate.
He was the last group of imperial examination scholars in the previous dynasty, and after being assigned to this Chuanyuan County, the country changed hands.
At that time, he was also in a panic for a while, and everything was packed up, but it turned out that no one cared about a petty official like him at all.
In this way, he stayed in Chuanyuan County and was doing this little Jiupin Sesame Official.
From the beginning of the trembling, like walking on thin ice to the rules and regulations do not seek merit, but seek no fault, and now only do enough work on the surface, and everything else is from money.
His days are getting better and better.
"Master, how did the concubine play that song just now?"
With a goose egg face, peach blossom eyes, willow eyebrows, and cherry mouth, after watching Aunt Shen, who was only fifteen years old, put down the pipa, she walked to Chen Hongwen's side in small steps, sat on Chen Hongwen's lap, and asked softly.
Chen Hongwen touched Aunt Shen's smooth face with his hand, and said with a smile: "Xian'er's pipa is naturally excellent."
Aunt Shen Xian'er was originally the head of Chunfeng Building, and one day a certain lord led her over to congratulate Chen Hongwen on his birthday, and then stayed.
With her various means, she has been in the house for two years, and she has no intention of falling out of favor, even if Chen Hongwen accepts a younger Aunt Liu with a better color, she is still the most favored.
Shen Xian'er lay on Chen Hongwen's chest, scraping circles on her chest with her little hands, and said, "Then the master is going to spend the night in the concubine's house tonight?"
"Xian'er, is this homesick?" Chen Hongwen said as he reached out to Shen Xian'er's waist and touched it.
Shen Xian'er pouted, pouted, and said, "There is no concubine."
"Then I don't..."
Before Chen Hongwen finished speaking, Shen Xian'er put her finger on Chen Hongwen's lips to stop his words.
"Okay, okay, the concubine misses the master, so the master will accompany the concubine tonight."
Chen Hongwen was made by this coquettish attitude with annoyance, and the two began to make love.
Just when the two of them were about to be resolved, the voice of the official sounded outside the house.
"Master, a little girl came from outside the county office and said she wanted to sue you."
Chen Hongwen's old life trembled, and he instantly weakened, he couldn't remember how much silver he had received over the years, someone wanted to sue him, it was a lawsuit, he didn't take it to heart, because he was sure that no one dared to sue him.
Now what's the matter with this little girl who said she was going to sue him?
What is his handle?
Shocked into a cold sweat, Chen Hongwen hurriedly pushed Shen Xian'er away, tidied up his clothes and walked out.
The county hall hall
Chen Hongwen, who was dressed in official uniform, no longer had the slightest appearance in Shen Xian'er's room just now.
Sitting in the hall, he patted the hall and said, "Who is in the hall?" What is being told? ”
If it was usual, in the face of a girl of such a color, he would definitely be drooling, but now, he has no such thoughts, and just wants to quickly figure out what tricks this person has for him.
He had made up his mind that no matter what trick this man had, he would let it turn into slander.
Lin Miao slowly knelt down and replied, "Lin Yue, the daughter of the people, sue the county master."
Chen Hongwen's eyes narrowed, and he sent out a dangerous signal, and said: "I have been an official for more than ten years, honest and honest, and love the people like a son, I don't know why the girl sued this official."
"My lord, the folk girl also thinks that the adult is honest and honest, and loves the people like a son, but..."
"Just what?" Chen Hongwen asked in a deep voice.
"Back to my lord's words, it's like this, the girl is a person from Gaoqiao Town, and she was kidnapped by outlaws in the bazaar yesterday, and after being rescued by well-wishers, she thought about reporting to the official."
"As a result, in the town yamen, the people saw the group of people who kidnapped the people's girls, they were wearing the clothes of the officials, and claimed that the adults had let them kidnap them."
Speaking of this, Lin Miao paused, and Chen Hongwen immediately patted the hall in shock, and said, "Nonsense, how can this official do such a thing."
Lin Miao hurriedly continued: "That's right, so the folk girls don't believe them, thinking that they are ruining the reputation of the adult, but they are convincing, saying that even if I go to the county government to sue them, the adult will not deal with it, but will treat me for the crime of doing nothing."
"My lord, the parents of the officials, if it is really you who let them kidnap the women of the good family to buy and sell privately, you can tell us, we will definitely not blame the adults, after all, my lord, you are our parents and officials."
Lin Miao looked up, looking innocent.
The people who followed to see the excitement exploded after listening to Lin Miao's words, and they discussed it with a lot of gossip.
"My aunt's husband's neighbor heard that she had lost a girl, and she thought that she was lost and couldn't find her home, but now she knows that she was kidnapped and sold."
"Poor girl, I don't know where she was sold."
"These people are so hateful, please ask the adults to punish the villains severely."
"I beg you to punish you severely..."
"I beg you to punish you severely..."
The request for his life was louder than the other, which made Chen Hongwen feel relieved, and the people did not doubt him, although there was really nothing to do with him.
"Bold fanatics, you dare to frame this official, Zhang Changping and Zhao Yongjie, you immediately bring people to arrest them," Chen Hongwen said.
"Slow!" Lin Miao hurriedly raised his hand, and when he saw them stop, he said, "My lord, those lawless people and girls have already brought, and they are outside the county office."
These words made the noisy lobby instantly quiet, and everyone looked at Lin Miao, who was still kneeling in place.
Lin Miao saw a look of suspicion in Chen Hongwen's eyes, and hurriedly said: "The well-wisher who saved me knows a little about martial arts, and when he heard that I was going to report to the official, he sent me there, but the gangsters made a lot of nonsense and slandered adults, and they even wanted to stop me, saying that I had a way to heaven, and I was going to break into the gate of hell."
"It's too arrogant."
"There's no way to see it."
"I don't take adults seriously at all."
"Don't talk about it in your eyes, you still want to frame adults."
The people brought another wave of rhythm, Chen Hongwen no longer thought deeply, and directly ordered people to go out and take people.
The people were brought in, all of them had blue noses and swollen faces, their clothes were disheveled, and some of them were even covered in blood.
Seeing this, Chen Hongwen's little eyes narrowed again.
Zhang Zhipeng can get mixed into the position of catching heads, and he still has a little brain, plus he followed Chen Hongwen in the early days, so he knows what his expression represents.
After entering the hall, he hurriedly knelt down and cried: "Help, my lord, this crazy woman ran into the yamen with a group of strong men, and when she saw people, she beat them, and the little ones were beaten badly."
Chen Hongwen rubbed his hand, glanced at Lin Miao, and then looked at the people, and said: "This matter doesn't seem to be simple, this official can't just listen to one side of the story, what is going on, tell me in detail."
Zhang Zhipeng hurriedly kowtowed and said, "My lord, at noon yesterday, the little ones were on an errand, and this woman ran into the yamen, saying that she had been kidnapped, and brought the kidnappers with her."
