Chapter 220: Put to Death
Bai Chenyang was worried that after they left, Su Rongrong would change the inn, so he cautiously tested, "I think I can go to Beijing as soon as possible to catch the exam, why don't you leave tomorrow?" ”
This time was a little rushed, and Wen Gong had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't ask. It just so happened that the people from the prefectural order had recently appeared here, so it would be better for them to leave early.
Su Rongrong and Wen Gong ignored Hu Luming, and they were just talking to Bai Chenyang the whole time.
On the other side, the prefectural government.
The county commander knelt on the ground, his body trembling, and he didn't dare to look up at the man sitting in the high seat.
The man sitting in the high position was the previous court official, because some people reported the county order, and the court officials left the county seat to go elsewhere in order to collect evidence and observe the terrain outside.
It's just that when he left, the court officials didn't tell the county order that he would come back.
The prefectural order only thought that the other party had left.
When the court officials asked if they slandered Su Rongrong and beat the people in front of everyone, the county order directly denied it.
It's just that the court officials brought evidence this time, and many pieces of evidence show that the county order abused his power to kidnap Su Rongrong and beat the troublemakers violently.
"You are the parent official of the people, if you can't share the worries and solve problems for the people and do your job well, the court can give you a position, or you can cut off your position."
When the court official said this, the county commander only felt that his whole body was cold.
His heart was beating several times as fast as usual, his hands and feet were a little cold, and his head was blank, not knowing what to do.
However, as a person in officialdom, even if you are afraid in your heart, you can always come up with a way at the most critical moment.
"My lord, things are not what you think. The lower officials were wronged by them. ”
When the court official saw that the county order was still quibbling in front of the evidence, he asked, "Then why did they wronged you, and what do I say about the evidence in my hand?" ”
The county magistrate had already thought of a way at this time, and he shifted all the responsibility to Su Rongrong.
"My lord, in the evidence you found, is the victim a woman named Su Rongrong? What do you think of a woman, why does she have so many people to help her? Moreover, her status in the hearts of the people surpasses that of me, who is the county magistrate. ”
"My lord, don't you want to think about how she, a woman, managed to make so many people willing to die for her? Also, if I kidnap Su Rongrong and them, aren't they in my mansion now? But I don't have her in my house. ”
The words of the county order made the court officials also a little suspicious of the evidence they had found. In his mind, like the people of this era, he thinks that women are husbands and children, and people who are filial to their in-laws at home, and women who show up are generally not good women.
Su Rongrong asked so many men to speak for her as a girl, she must have given some benefit in private, or had some deal with them.
"Even if what you say has some truth, it doesn't negate what you did before."
Seeing that the court officials were a little relieved, the county order immediately answered: "The lower officials are willing to find Su Rongrong and give the lower officials justice." ”
In the end, the county order discussed with them, and Su Rongrong would be brought in three days. The court officials did not embarrass the county magistrate anymore, but only said that he would come to the county seat again in three days, and if the county magistrate did not find a way to prove his innocence, then he would be dealt with in accordance with the law.
When Bai Chenyang and Hu Luming returned home, the county commander's face was not very good-looking, and his body exuded a gloomy aura.
"Son-in-law, come here, I have something to tell you."
Bai Chenyang could feel that when the county commander said this sentence again, his mood fluctuated greatly, and he didn't know what happened when they were not at home.
"Where are they now, Su Rongrong?" The prefectural order asked directly.
Bai Chenyang did not speak immediately, but asked the county order if something had happened.
The county magistrate told him about the court officials who came to him for questioning, and also told him about the three-day appointment. After listening to what the county order said, Bai Chenyang knew that this matter was very important.
If Su Rongrong is not brought to the court officials, the county order will be in danger. If the county order is investigated, it will be him who is not in the favor.
"It's just that my father-in-law sent troops to look for them before, and when I went to see them with Luming today, I found that there were many villagers around the inn where they lived, and I suspect that those villagers ran specifically to protect them."
So what does Bai Chenyang mean by that? Disturbed them, could it be that he wasn't? Sensing that the county order was angry, Bai Chenyang immediately explained.
"Father-in-law, don't worry, listen to my explanation. Because Su Rongrong and they have begun to be vigilant, if you send someone to arrest them back now, maybe they have already gotten the news before they arrive at the inn, and then run away. ”
"So, why don't we find a place and ask them out, what about you? In that place in advance, send someone to ambush it. As soon as we get there, you just detain people. ”
This method was good, and the county order immediately agreed.
Hu Luming, who returned to the room, probably knew what had happened today.
After Bai Chenyang returned to the room, she asked him clearly, knowing that they were going to lead Su Rongrong to a dangerous place, she didn't speak.
When he went to bed at night, Hu Luming slept on the bed, Bai Chen, and slept on the ground.
Hu Luming had a nightmare, she dreamed that Su Rongrong and Wen Gong were killed by their father, and after that, they kept asking her, why didn't they save them, why didn't they tell the county order about them earlier?
The appearance of their death was very ugly, Hu Luming sat up from the bed in fright, and when she saw a black shadow crossing the window outside, she shrank into the quilt in fright.
Actually, it was just the shadow of a leaf, but she was so scared that she didn't dare to see it clearly.
In the morning, Bai Chenyang took Hu Luming to gather with Su Rongrong and them.
When she was on the road, Hu Luming kept yawning, Bai Chen, and asked her suspiciously: "Didn't you sleep well last night?" He looked at Hu Luming's face, which was indeed a little whiter than usual. And next to her eyes, there are very thick dark circles.
Hu Luming didn't want to tell Bai Chenyang about the nightmare last night, but as they walked past, they got closer and closer to Su Rongrong, and last night's nightmare began to appear in his mind again.
"Do we have to put them to death? Can't you think of other ways to solve the problem? ”
Hearing what Hu Luming said, Bai Chenyang was a little surprised, his eyes widened in disbelief, he couldn't understand how she would say this.
