Qu Xiaobai took out a little bit of broken silver from his sleeve, stuffed it into Yang Erhe's hand, and said: "We don't have enough money now, this little fare, Brother Erhe don't dislike it." ”

Although there are not many pieces of silver, the round-trip fare is enough, Yang Erhe refused to ask for silver, "Brother and sister, with a gesture, if you are so polite, you will look down on Brother Erhe." ”

"Brother Erhe, you take it. It's been a night of tossing, and it's hard work. It's also good to go back and drink to relieve fatigue. Be polite to me again, and I won't take your car when I go back. ”

Yang Erhe couldn't resist her, so he could only accept the broken silver, and whispered to her: "The people at the yamen are too insidious, you and Brother Yang Ling should be careful, don't be harmed by them." ”

It is rare that there are people in the village who care about her and the fool, and Qu Xiaobai feels warm in her heart. She is a person who knows how to repay her kindness, Yang Erhe is good to her and Yang Ling, and she will naturally repay him if she has the opportunity in the future, but now that she is entangled in lawsuits, she has no way to guarantee what will happen in the future.

Qu Xiaobai and Yang Erhe chatted briefly, and for some reason, she always felt that someone was staring at her, at this time, many people gathered in front of the yamen to watch the excitement, her eyes swept in the crowd, and she seemed to see a corner of moon-white clothes floating in front of her, and then looked closely, but she didn't see any moon-white clothes, only saw the crowd chirping and chattering.

Zhu Changsong and Chen Jiu tore and fought for a quarter of an hour, the sky was already bright, and the noisy sound of lively discussions shook the sky, and finally woke up the county people from the gentle township.

The little guy replied that Chen Bantou had taken the fool Yang Ling and his daughter-in-law Yang Qushi back, and they were waiting outside the door, and the pen clerk Mr. Zhu also came. The little guy didn't dare to say that the two of them were in a mess outside.

The county station reluctantly put on his clothes, washed and tidied up, reluctantly said goodbye to the enchanting concubine, and rushed to the front of the office, he walked through the small door inside, entered the yatang, and the little servant who was waiting with him opened the door of the yatang inside, and the county station stood at the door and looked out.

The sun that first rose in the morning shone brightly on the heads of the people moving at the entrance of the yamen, and in the open space in front of the door, Chen Jiu and Zhu Changsong were still scuffling, there were mottled blood stains on the ground, both of them were unkempt and ragged, and there were a lot of blood stains on their bodies, and Zhang Jinglin's mouth was crooked, "What are you doing here?" ”

An angry roar resounded through the sky, and the noisy crowd fell silent for a moment, "Let me in!" ”

Chen Jiu and Zhu Changsong secretly said in their hearts that it was not good, they patronized the fight, forgot about business, hurriedly gathered their tattered clothes, and plunged into the yamen with a disgraced face.

Qu Xiaobai and Yang Ling were also brought into the lobby by the three arresters, and they had to bow their heads under the eaves, and after the two people came in, they were pressed to the ground by the officials, Yang Ling struggled a few times, and the two officials impatiently tied his hands and feet with ropes and threw them on the ground.

Watching the lively crowd outside, they probed their brains with their ears propped up, but no one dared to get closer.

Even if Yang Ling was tied hand and foot, he still didn't stop, shouting and rolling on the ground, Zhang Jinglin was impatient, and ordered: "Come on, plug his mouth." ”

The official also found a ball of rags somewhere, stuffed it into Yang Ling's mouth, Yang Ling couldn't speak, only whine, so anxious that the blue tendons on his head burst out, Qu Xiaobai couldn't help but feel distressed, and comforted him softly: "Brother Ling, don't make trouble, listen to the county master pass the hall, after the hall, I'll take you for a walk around the county, buy candied fruit for you to eat?" ”

The little girl really treats him as a child.

Let's go with that. Yang Ling curled up beside Qu Xiaobai tamely, not shouting or making trouble.

Zhang Jinglin glanced at Chen Jiu and Zhu Changsong, and his stomach was full of anger: "You two, why don't you hurry up and change your clothes and pack up your personal appearance?" What a shame! ”

Chen Jiu and Zhu Changsong hurriedly went to the back office to change their clothes, and Zhang Jinglin complained to his master Wang Ping, who was standing beside him: "You talk about these two people, and they don't stop every day." Anyway, take care of your own identity! They make such a fuss, what kind of face do you have to meet people? The words were full of respect for Wang Ping.

Before Zhang Jinglin arrived, this Wang Ping had been a master in Nanping County for ten years. ”

Please ask the master for everything. The seven golden characters are entwined in Zhang Jinglin's heart, and they have not been dispersed for many years. In the first few years, he didn't believe in his predecessor's words, he didn't take this master to heart, he loved to be arbitrary in everything, Wang Ping'an was his master steadily, and nothing happened.

But one year, there was a big case, and the perpetrator was a general of the border army, who killed the eldest grandson of a high-ranking official who had retired from Beijing in the county seat.

Although the high-ranking official has retired, the eldest son is still an official in Beijing, and the official is the right attendant of the second grade Shangshu Province, and the power of his family is still at its peak.

The old lady said that he would bring the murderer to justice, but the murderer was a maiden nephew of Rong Guifei, who was the most favored in today's long live, and Zhang Jinglin could not afford to offend both ends, and the case occurred in Nanping County, he wanted to dump the pot, but no one took the pot above.

During that time, Zhang Jinglin was so worried that his hair was half white, and in the end, an old master bookkeeper gave him an idea and asked him to find his master Wang Ping.

A master, what can he do. Zhang Jinglin didn't hold out much hope, but he still treated the dead horse as a live horse doctor, and prepared a big gift to find Wang Ping.

Unexpectedly, Wang Ping really calmed things down. I don't know what method he used, and later the case was transferred to the Criminal Department. Later, Zhang Jinglin heard that the matter came to the front of the Long Live Lord's Longshu case, and the Long Live Lord was helpless, so he sentenced Rong Guifei's nephew to a job cut, and in order to appease the old lady's family, he gave his eldest son the title of first rank and added an official to the knighthood, which was the matter.

From that time on, Zhang Jinglin no longer dared to underestimate Wang Ping, he had to discuss everything with Wang Ping, treat him like a brother, respect him, and dare not make any mistakes in front of him.

After all, this is a person who has something to do with the above.

Today, Wang Ping's brother-in-law Chen Jiu committed an accident, and Zhang Jinglin didn't dare to blame him too much, so he could only use this way to express his dissatisfaction and helplessness in his heart.

Wang Ping lowered his head, bent over, leaned over Zhang Jinglin's ear, and said in a low voice: "My lord, those are trivial matters, and this case is the right thing right now." Look at the two of them, one is a fool, the other is weak, to say that they are murderers, this ...... Has your brother-in-law wronged someone? ”

Wang Ping's tone was polite, but the words he said pointed directly at Zhu Changsong, the brother-in-law of the county station, without showing any mercy, and Zhang Jinglin was very embarrassed.

Wang Ping made it clear that he wanted to earn a breath for his brother-in-law, Zhang Jinglin was jealous of him in his heart, and he didn't dare to disobey him. Besides, his brother-in-law, he is bound to press him a little, first, his sister-in-law is really good-looking, he wants to continue to have a deep relationship with her, this Zhu Changsong can't be too powerful, and second, his brother-in-law is ruthless, if he gains power, he will stumble on him behind his back.

"He's just a strong outsider, and he doesn't have much in his stomach, so where will the case be decided? After a while, I have to help the county determine right and wrong. ”

"Your lord, you lift, the little official will bring you tea, pour water, run errands, and judge the case, and you have your keen eyes."

These few moves of Tai Chi are very sleek.

Qu Xiaobai was far away, and he couldn't hear what they were saying, but he could also make a general difference from the shape of his mouth.

After a while, Chen Jiu and Zhu Changsong changed their clothes and returned to the yatang, both of them became black-eyed chickens, you stare at me, I stare at you, and no one refused to admit defeat.

Zhang Jinglin glared at the two of them, and patted the hall in shock: "Ascend to the hall!" ”

The officials on the left and right immediately stood with their heads held high, drinking "mighty" in their mouths, but they were also a little majestic.

Qu Xiaobai knelt on the ground, lowered his head, trembling, and waited for Zhang Jinglin to ask, Zhang Jinglin was not polite, and asked her if she knew the deceased and what was the relationship with the deceased, Qu Xiaobai replied truthfully, I don't know, it doesn't matter.

After speaking, he didn't forget to cry out for wrongdoing, but secretly set his eyes on Chen Jiu.

Chen Jiu didn't dare to work hard because of one leg, so he could only stand on one leg, but his eyes did not leave Qu Xiaobai, Qu Xiaobai's pleading gaze glanced at him, his heart was like a fire, and he couldn't wait to say: "Master, my subordinates have something to come back to." ”

"What's the matter? If it is related to the case, it will be said, and if it is not related, it will be said later. Zhang Jinglin thought that he was going to talk about something with Zhu Changsong, so he blocked it.

Chen Jiu said: "Master, it's something related to the case. ”

"Then you can tell me about it."

"Master, my subordinates went to arrest the two people Mr. Zhu said last night, and I heard something in the village. This Yang Qu's family was framed by her sister-in-law Zhu Guihua a few days ago, and her fool Xiang was beaten for nothing, and was almost killed. Master, who do you say is this Zhu Guihua? He is our sister-in-law of Mr. Zhu! ”

In the end, he has some experience in handling cases, and Chen Jiu is very skillful in narrating the incident.

"So, so what? What do you say about this matter? ”

"Master, don't you still understand, Zhu Guihua was injured and held a grudge against Yang Qu's clan and wanted to take revenge, so she went to find her brother to vent her anger. But Yang Qu's is not at fault, our Mr. Zhu has no way to start, at this time, there happened to be such a case, so our Mr. Zhu took advantage of the topic to play and planted a drowning case on the heads of Yang Qu and his wife. ”

Chen Jiu also thought about it, Zhu Changsong is the brother-in-law of the county station, and it is not so easy for him to shake him, without full certainty, he will not make a move easily, so he said that Zhu Changgui and Zhu Changlian's death was drowning, not that he killed. But he couldn't be so cheap, so he made some insignificant accusations on his head.
