CHAPTER XXXI

Yu Wenyuan took people to find Xiao Lanwei and Mu Qingling for a whole night, yesterday Mufu received a report, the people in the house found Yu Wenyuan overnight, Yu Wenyuan, who learned the whereabouts of the two, did not dare to delay, and rushed to Wangjia Village in the starry night. Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the village, I happened to encounter the scene of Feng Wu leading people to commit murder.

Feng Wu shouted out his best to protect himself, and everyone present heard it clearly. Yu Wenyuan, who hadn't touched his pillow for a day and a night, didn't have time to get tired, and he couldn't wait to thoroughly interrogate Feng Wu on the spot.

Because of Feng Wu's business, Yu Wenyuan and his party couldn't care about anything else, even Mu Qingling got on the horse, and Yu Wenyuan took him all the way to Hangzhou. Feng Wuyi and his entourage, who were escorted to the end of the line, were miserable, because Yu Wenyuan was leading people to search and rescue Xiao Lanwei and Mu Qingling, he had already prepared for the possibility of encountering the accomplices of the man in black, and the shackles of the prisoner car were all prepared. Now it's all used to entertain them. The Feng family's dogs, led by Feng Wu, curled up in the prisoner car and kept bumping, how arrogant they were when they came, and how decadent they are now, like lost dogs.

Everyone hurried all the way, and just after noon, they arrived at the gate of Hangzhou. Yu Wenyuan pulled the reins, stopped at the city gate, looked at Mu Qingling in front of him and said: "Cousin, the affairs of Feng Wu's group of people can't be delayed, I'll take people to the prefect's yamen now, you ......" He wanted to say that another person would be arranged to send Mu Qingling back, but Mu Qingling interrupted him with words: "Cousin, this group of people are rampant and domineering in the township, and they are not only in the name of Jingyong's mansion, but also my father." I'm going with you to see who is so daring. ”

Yu Wenyuan hesitated slightly, Mu Qingling was out for a night, this matter was not a good thing for a boudoir lady, and now if Mu Qingling followed him into the city gate and went to the prefect's yamen in such a grand manner, I am afraid it would be even more inappropriate.

"Cousin, those who are clear are self-purifying. My words and deeds are worthy of heaven and earth, worthy of my parents, and naturally I am not afraid to enter and exit the public door, besides, I am now dressed in this way I estimate that few people in Hangzhou City can recognize me, without further ado, let's go. Mu Qingling knows what Yu Wenyuan is worried about, the world is already very demanding of women, the affairs of Yunwai Temple can't be hidden, sooner or later, Hangzhou City will know that there are villains raiding Yunwai Temple, she is a single lady, and she will be criticized when she encounters this kind of thing, if she doesn't go back to Mufu immediately, she goes straight to the prefect's yamen, and the rumors about her will be really wonderful at that time.

But so what? Now this group of people who ruined her father's life are in front of her, and she also promised Sister-in-law Wang to help her avenge her grievances, how could she go back to Mufu with peace of mind, hide in the high-walled compound, and wait for others to tell her what was wrong.

Love to pass on what to go, Mu Qingling was ruthless, although she wanted to keep herself from being controlled by others and not being constrained by others, but she had enough days of being afraid of gossip. She wants to see if she can stand innocent, or if these unfounded rumors can accumulate and destroy her bones!

Yu Wenyuan originally wanted to persuade again, but Xiao Lanzhuo on the side immediately stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, the Mu family is now a merit to save the king, who dares to say anything?" Let's go. ”

Xiao Lanhuan took the lead in hitting the horse into the city, Yu Wenyuan saw that the two of them didn't care, and he was no longer entangled, and followed Xiao Lanhuan into the city, all the way to the prefect's yamen.

Yesterday, the people of Wangjia Village delivered the letter in time and learned the whereabouts of Xiao Lanhuan, and Zhou Qingnian did not have the need to stay in Yunwai Temple, so he returned to Hangzhou early in the morning. Before the stool was hot, he heard a report from the servant, saying that Yu Wenyuan had brought people over and arrested many people, and he didn't look like an accomplice of the men in black.

Zhou Qingnian hurriedly went to the front of the hall, and happened to meet Xiao Lanwei and his party who walked in. Zhou Qingnian saw Xiao Lannian, his heart hanging in the air finally fell, and he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Xiaguan Zhou Qingnian, see the prince." ”

Xiao Lan held Zhou Qingnian's arm and said, "Lord Zhou doesn't have to be polite, this time it should be this king's thanks to Lord Zhou for his timely rescue." Although Xiao Lanhuan is still dressed in patched cloth clothes, he has had another fight, and he is dusty, but once he picks up the prince's shelf, his gestures are noble, and he is not affected by foreign objects at all.

Zhou Qingnian looked at Xiao Lanhuan behind Mu Qingling, who was also dressed in cloth, frowned, and said, "Why is Miss Mu here, it's an eventful time now, how can you ...... Confused! "Zhou Qingnian has been taken care of by Mu Jiangxuan for many years, and his gratitude to Mu Jiangxuan is not fake. Now that Mu Jiang Xuanxian is gone, he naturally has the heart to take care of Mu Qingling, so he is also a little sincere about Mu Qingling, at this time, seeing Mu Qingling appear in the palace hall in this dress, Zhou Qingnian couldn't help but have a little bit of the eagerness of the elders in his words.

Mu Qingling was attacked by gangsters during his stay in Yunwai Temple, and he disappeared overnight, which made people think about it, and now he appeared in the public court in a difficult pretend, and it was spread out, and Mu Qingling's reputation in Hangzhou City was no longer necessary!

"I know that Lord Zhou is worried about Qingling, and Qingling thanks Lord Zhou for his kindness, but in a hurry, Qingling can't take care of much." Mu Qingling said on her knees.

"Lord Zhou, rest assured, after today's work, this king has his own way to consider the name of his junior sister, and it will definitely not affect his junior sister. Now there is still something to ask Lord Zhou to preside, let's get down to business first. Xiao Lanwei looked at Zhou Qingnian and said.

Zhou Qingnian was also a little relieved when he heard Xiao Lanhuan say this. With Xiao Lanwei's identity, even if he returned to Hangzhou City, it should not be him who came to the prefect's yamen in person, but he should have gone to greet him before Zhou Qing. Now that he has appeared here, it is clear that he wants to support Mu Qingling, and with the little prince as a guarantor, Zhou Qingnian will no longer be entangled in this issue.

"What the prince said, but it has something to do with the people he brought back?" Zhou Qingnian thought for a moment and asked. Xiao Lanhuan nodded, and Yu Wenyuan, who was behind him, stepped forward and said to Zhou Qingnian: "When I found the little prince and his cousin, I met a group of people who were smashing and looting in Wangjia Village, lending money to gamble, and exploiting heavy profits. The leader kept saying that he was following the orders of my Jingyong Mansion and Mu Daren, and I heard the villagers of Wangjia Village say that this group of people has been entrenched for a long time, and their power is not only in Wangjia Village, if this matter is serious, it ......."

If this matter is serious, his first official hat of Zhou Qingnian will not be guaranteed! The incident happened in Hangzhou, the heir of the Jingyong Mansion and the orphan of the Mu people went to the palace to shout grievances, and also exposed the matter in front of the King of Xiaoyao. Thinking of this, Zhou Qinghou turned his back and said loudly: "Where are the people?!" The official outside the hall replied: "Go back to your lordship, the prisoners have been brought and are waiting for your summons." ”

Yu Wenyuan walked to Zhou Qingnian's side and told Zhou Qingnian all the ins and outs of Feng Wu, Zhou Qingnian thought about it, and then arched his hand to Xiao Lanzhuo, and said respectfully: "This matter is very important, Feng Wu is just an obedient person." If you want to interrogate, you have to wait for the villagers of Wangjia Village and Feng Shuang to arrive at the case, and then let the lower official let people pass on Feng Shuang, the prince has been traveling all the way, and asked the three of them to go to the back wing room to rest for a while, and when everyone arrives, they will open the court to ask the case. ”

Yu Wenyuan could ride a horse first, but it was impossible for the villagers of Wangjia Village to follow them. After the people of Wangjia Village knew that they could enter the city to complain, the village chief took the lead, selected several families as representatives, fell behind Yu Wenyuan's team, and was led by Zhou Qingnian's master to Hangzhou City.

Xiao Lanhuan and Mu Qingling had not changed their clothes yet, and after Zhou Qingnian invited them to the back wing, he called someone to ask his wife to bring a change of clothes, so that the two of them could change into decent clothes.

When Xiao Lanwei and Mu Qingling finished freshening up, the villagers of Wangjia Village and Feng Shuang, who had been summoned to arrive.

Feng Shuang is not very old, at first glance he looks kind and approachable, he has a round figure, one can top two others, he smiles when he sees people, and he talks softly to anyone, and he can't see that he will be a wicked person who instructs his subordinates to fight fiercely and exploit the township.

When the official went to summon him, he had already received the news that Feng Wu was seized by the prefect's yamen, after all, Yu Wenyuan and they were openly escorting people to walk around the streets of Hangzhou, and the Feng family was a little embarrassed in Hangzhou. People like Feng Wu not only show off their power in villages like Wangjia Village, but also do a lot of power on the streets of Hangzhou on weekdays, but now seeing him in a prison car, many people on the street are secretly happy, and the news naturally spreads quickly.

But Feng Shuang didn't take this matter to heart, even after receiving a summons from Zhou Qingnian, Feng Shuang didn't think it was a big deal. He sat up lazily from the concubine's lap and tied the loose undershirt casually to block the layers of his belly. The beautiful concubine who was only wearing a belly pocket beside her was like a beautiful snake, stretched out her hand and wrapped it around Feng Shuang's neck, and said in a loud voice: "Uncle, this is the prefect who sent you there, why aren't you in a hurry?" That Feng Wu is too useless, he can't do his job well, and he has to burden the uncle to go to the yamen, how unlucky. ”

Feng Shuang hugged the concubine's thin waist with one hand, and rubbed it with the other hand into the light gauze skirt that the concubine had not worn, and smiled disapprerovingly: "What's the hurry, uncle, I haven't seen anything." Isn't it the prefect of Hangzhou? Others regard him as the parent official of Hangzhou City, but my Feng family doesn't eat him. Don't look at him now that he is so righteous and stern about me, when the uncle goes, it won't take a stick of incense to keep him, and he has to send the uncle and me out respectfully. ”

The little concubine was rubbed by Feng Shuang, hugged Feng Shuang's almost invisible neck, and leaned in his ear and said with a smile: "It's still our Feng Ye's face is so big, even the prefect has to let you score three points." The slave family is shallow, but he is worried in vain. ”

Feng Shuang laughed and said, "Little slut, you don't know that there are still many things!" Wait here, and I'll clean you up when you come back! ”

Feng Shuang got dressed under the flirtatious service of the concubine and went out to the study. Feng Shuang, a person with a fat brain and a person who had never read anything at first glance, actually pretended to come out of a study room, and there were two cabinets of books in it. Feng Shuang walked to the bookshelf, took down a delicate brocade box from the shelf, opened the brocade box, and took out a gold-painted poster from it, Feng Shuang put the poster up and kissed it on his mouth, and said with a smile: "Baby, it's time for you to show your might again!" ”

People on both sides arrived, and Zhou Qingnian was not verbose, and went straight to the court. Mu Qingling was personally accompanied by Mrs. Zhou and sat at the back of the public hall, separated from the front by a screen. Yu Wenyuan and Xiao Lanwei sat down on the jury seat in front of the hall, and as soon as Feng Shuang came in, Yu Wenyuan's eyes fell on him.

The villagers of Wangjia Village also walked in under the leadership of the village chief, and the two groups of people knelt under the hall on the left and the right. ”

The village chief of Wangjia Village had already received Mu Qingling's instructions before he came in, and he was not in a panic at this time, and kowtowed to Zhou Qingnian: "The head of Wangjia Village, the grassland of Hangzhou, took the villagers of my village today to sue Feng Shuang of the Feng family, fabricated a contract, forcibly robbed farmland, and injured people's lives. ”

Zhou Qingnian looked at Feng Shuang, who was kneeling, and saw that Feng Shuang was not only not in a hurry, but also looked up at Zhou Qingnian and smiled flatteringly, and without waiting for Zhou Qingnian to ask, he said: "Lord Zhou Mingjian, the villagers of Wangjia Village borrowed my silver, it was all written in black and white, it is natural to repay debts, their village wants to repay the debt, and my family is in a hurry to have a conflict with them, these people now dare to make false accusations, it is really their hearts can be punished!" His heart is damned! ”

"The official hasn't asked you yet, who made you speak! is so contemptuous of the court, and there will be a next time, Hugh blames the official for being polite! Zhou Qingnian frowned and said sharply. Feng Shuang saw Zhou Qingnian's displeasure on his face, and immediately lay down and didn't dare to be smart anymore.

"Since you said that they signed an IOU, you can bring the IOU and present it to the house for seeing." Zhou Qingnian asked.

Feng Shuang lay on the ground, her eyes turned around, she took a few steps on her knees, and said with a sneer: "What the grass people said, everything is true, my lord, this group of Diao people can't afford to pay back and want to cheat, just hit two boards and throw them out, why bother adults to look at those Lao Shizi." My lord, don't hide it from my lord, I also obey orders, if I miss the above errand, I will naturally not be able to explain, but my lord...... It's hard to escape the involvement. ”

As Feng Shuang spoke, she took out the name card from her sleeve and handed it to the official on the side. Seeing that the official sent the name card to Zhou Qingnian's case, Feng Shuang's squinted eyes burst out with a smug light, and he seemed to have seen the scene where Zhou Qingnian and him called him brother and brother.
