Chapter 8: The Crossing Peasant Girl Is Crossing (8)
And Jiang Mi always has a way to let them do it first, and if she does it again, it can only be regarded as self-defense, and there will be reasons for it in the future.
Like an underworld society, within three days, Jiang Mi frantically beat more than a dozen wealthy businessmen in Linghe County.
Finally, they couldn't help it, gathered together, and jointly sued Jiang Mi to the county office.
At that time, Jiang Mi was eating at home.
A large group of officers and soldiers suddenly kicked down the gate of Tao's house and rushed in with weapons.
"Who is Tao Xi?"
Everyone in the Tao family was startled and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
The officers and soldiers did not answer, but shouted again who was Tao Xi.
Ye had to step forward and stuff more than ten taels of silver.
The officers and soldiers weighed the weight in their hands, and their faces softened a little: "Someone sued Tao Xi for illegal brawls and gathering crowds to beat people, and the county magistrate ordered her to be promoted to the court to try the case. ”
Ye: "Is the official mistaken, Xi'er is well-behaved and weak, how can she beat someone?" ”
The officers and soldiers glanced at her: "If you dare to obstruct official business, you will be arrested together." ”
The Ye family was aggrieved, since the Tao family was rich, no one had spoken to her like this, and she wanted to say something, but Jiang Mi stopped her.
"I'll go with you, lead the way."
Jiang Mi stood up, wearing a moon-white long dress, which made the whole person cold and arrogant, without the fierceness and cruelty of beating people a few days ago.
Old Man Tao: "Xi'er, you ......"
Jiang Mi comforted everyone: "It's okay, don't worry, you can just wait for me at home." ”
Tao Zhi: "Sister, I'll go with you." ”
Tao Ze: "I'll go too!" ”
"You don't have to go, wait for me at home."
After some arguments, everyone still couldn't resist Jiang Mi and let her go alone.
At this time, a group of people were already gathered at the entrance of the county government to watch the excitement, and some women were still carrying vegetable baskets, which were full of eggs and vegetable leaves.
This is a necessary prop for watching the case, and when the time comes, when the most vicious people are convicted, they can throw vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at will.
In the county office, Liu Yanlai and others were already waiting there, kneeling on the ground one by one.
Although they are wealthy businessmen, they have no fame, and no matter how rich they are, they still have to bow down when they see officials.
Jiang Mi straightened his back and walked in, looking directly at them, there was no fear in his eyes.
"Bold suspect, don't kneel down when you see this official!" The county magistrate knocked on the shocking wood and shouted.
Jiang Mi: "Legs and feet are inconvenient. ”
"Full of nonsense, even if you break your leg today, you have to kneel down for this official."
"What happens if you don't kneel?"
County order: "Come to someone, the rod will be punished for twenty!" ”
Liu Yanlai and the others sneered at the right time, and they dared to be proud when they went to the county office?
Jiang Mi raised his hand to block: "Slow." ”
The official did not stop, and the county order opened his mouth, which you said to stop.
Prefectural order: "Do it!" ”
Jiang Mi took a step, hid behind Liu Yanlai and the others, and said secretly: "It's time to come." ”
As soon as the words fell, a sharp voice came from outside: "The holy decree has arrived!" ”
Everyone was stunned, and then reflexively immediately knelt down, prostrate on the ground, and did not dare to make any sound.
The prefectural magistrate even flipped off his chair and slammed his knee to the ground.
Jiang Mi was the only one standing in the audience, standing out from the crowd, looking at the visitors with a faint smile on his face.
A handsome young man dressed in a scarlet cloud goose official robe strode in, and a white-faced eunuch stood beside him, holding a bright yellow holy decree in his hand.
"Xi'er." Song Chengsi spoke.
Jiang Mi: "Lord Song." ”
Is she the kind of person who has a relationship? Don't be too familiar with it in front of everyone.
Song Chengsi had a look of loss in his eyes, and called out softly to Miss Tao.
The eunuch glanced at the two of them, this Lord Song died on the front foot of the lady who had a backer, and the back foot won the appreciation of the saint.
Moreover, don't think that he can't see that Lord Song has a greasy relationship with this woman!
The eunuch hooked his lips slightly, and unfolded the holy decree with his orchid fingers: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, Tao Xi of Linghe County has a plan, and his hybrid rice method saves all the people, and gives it to the Shennong girl, rewards it with a thousand taels of gold, and specially allows the Shennong girl to kneel in the face of the saint." ”
Jiang Mi took the holy decree and asked, "Is Shennongnu an official?" ”
"Hui Shennongnu, it is an official position of the sixth grade, and it is taken by the saint himself."
Jiang Mi showed a sincere smile at this time, and it was not in vain that she thought hard and presented the method of cultivating hybrid rice to the emperor, seeing that the emperor did not bow down, it was the condition she specially told Song Chengsi to propose to the emperor.
Otherwise, she really couldn't stand to worship when she saw the official, and now the emperor doesn't have to kneel, let alone others.
Jiang Mi took out a few large-denomination silver tickets from his sleeve pocket and stuffed them to the eunuch: "Thank you, father-in-law, come on, take some money to buy snacks to eat, don't be polite." ”
The eunuch refused: "It is the duty of the miscellaneous family to issue a holy decree, how can you accept the money of the Shennong girl." ”
In fact, it's not that it can't be accepted, but who has ever seen it shoehorned into others in front of everyone's eyes?
"It's okay, don't be polite to me, if you don't accept it, you won't give me face!" Jiang Mi said it as if he was persuading wine at the dinner table.
Although she has not participated in the drinking party, she has never eaten pork and has never seen a pig run.
"How can the miscellaneous family not give face to Shennong's girl, it's just ......" The eunuch was full of resistance, and he was unwilling to accept the money when he saw it for the first time.
Jiang Mi: "Don't just do it, you have to accept this money!" ”
After speaking, a handful was stuffed into his arms.
After the eunuch collected the money, he felt even more uncomfortable: "Lord Song, since the holy decree has been issued, the miscellaneous family will go back to the restaurant to rest first, and then leave for the capital tomorrow." ”
Song Chengsi: "I'm tired of Father-in-law Liu, you go back and rest first." ”
"Good ......"
The eunuch did not hesitate at all, and left immediately, although this money is hot, it is also money, and it can still be used, who knows how he got this money when he leaves here.
The county order was already frightened into a cold sweat at this time, thinking that it was just dealing with an ordinary merchant girl, who knew that once she became a Shennong girl of the sixth grade, she was still an official position that she had never had.
This is what he has shown his face in front of the emperor, how can he deal with it.
Jiang Mi looked at the county magistrate with a smile: "I don't know if I need to kneel down and worship the county magistrate now?" ”
The county magistrate wiped his sweat and said with a dry smile: "Of course not, Shennong's status is noble, and she is a subordinate official who has eyes and does not know Mount Tai." ”
"Oh, then this rod is twenty ......."
"It's... It's the lower official... Talking nonsense, I hope that the goddess of Shennong will forgive! ”
How dare the county order deal with Jiang Mi now, as for the Yun family, forget it, he won't go to this troubled water.
Song Chengsi stood behind Jiang Mi and spoke: "What is the matter with today's ascension hall?" ”
Although Song Chengsi is not in a big grade, his overall style is not comparable to those here, and he is a Beijing official who came from the capital with his father-in-law, and the county order is also very worried.
The county magistrate was hesitating and didn't know how to answer, but Liu Yan immediately replied: "I was beaten and abused by Shennong's girl, and I couldn't bear it, so I sued the official for help." ”
Song Chengsi: "Oh, is there such a thing? ”
