The magistrate stood on the top of the steps, wearing an official uniform, majestic, with his hands behind his back, and his sharp eyes looked at the Qin family dissatisfiedly, as if to tell her that the official family was majestic and inviolable.

After hearing this, the Qin clan did not restrain himself, but cried and walked quickly to the bottom of the steps, knelt down, and said: "Lord Zhixian, my son was poisoned to death, and I hope you can do it!" ”

"You want the official to call the shots?" Zhixian raised his eyebrows slightly and asked in a cold voice.

Qin Shi was stunned for a moment, and nodded a little sluggishly.

"How did you find out about Su Mao's death?" The magistrate asked.

Qin pursed his mouth, frowned pretending to be aggrieved, wiped the tears that had slipped down, and said softly: "I went to visit Brother Mao this morning, and found that he died violently in a broken house, and the black blood at the corner of his mouth had coagulated, obviously poisoned. ”

Su Mulian looked at the stupid Qin family, and couldn't help but mock in her heart, maybe she had forgotten that Su Mao was a wanted criminal, and she didn't know where she got the courage to beat the drum here and cry out.

"Come on, arrest the Qin family and the Su family!" The magistrate, who suddenly became angry, ordered angrily.

As soon as these words came out, the officers and soldiers surrounded them, and this move caused them to panic.

"Lord Zhixian, why are you arresting us?" Wang, who was escorted by the officers and soldiers, asked angrily.

"Heh, Su Mao is a wanted criminal in the town, but you don't know about it, it's a felony!" The magistrate looked at them coldly and smiled, "Now you are still shouting in front of the yamen, you don't put the official in your eyes, you don't put the court in your eyes!" ”

The county's scolding made the Su family scared, the Qin family just wanted to be a demon and vent some of the sadness and dissatisfaction of their son's death, but they never thought about the consequences.

Wang, who was trembling with fright, hurriedly said: "Lord Zhixian, this matter has nothing to do with me, I just heard my mother talk about Su Mao's poisoning and death today, and please don't blame me." ”

"Lord Zhixian, I only found out today." Suzhou also hurriedly clarified and said in a panic.

When Su Mulian and the people saw this scene, they wanted to laugh very much, but before the disaster came, they began to clear up the relationship, this is family affection, how ridiculous.

"You are close relatives, and if one man makes a mistake, the whole family will be punished!" Zhixian, who did not have the slightest sympathy, said in an extremely cold voice.

Su Mufang, who was free from the shackles of officers and soldiers, said: "Lord Magistrate, I don't know, I am innocent, you implicate the innocent, are you not afraid of being opposed by the people?" ”

"Oh? Is it? Hearing her words with a hint of threat, the magistrate did not get angry, but smiled lightly, looked at the onlookers with a playful gaze, and asked jokingly, "I wonder if you have any objections to the official's decision?" ”

"No objections!" The people replied in unison, and some even applauded.

This scene is very happy when Su Mulian sees it.

Su Mufang was also stunned, her face became pale, she looked at the people around her with fear, bit her lip unwillingly, and said, "Lord Zhixian, only my grandmother knows about this matter, and my father and mother really don't know." ”

"Su Mufang!" After hearing this, Qin Shi turned his head and glared at her angrily, smiled coldly, and said, "It's in vain that I love you so much in my life!" ”

Su Mufang pursed her mouth aggrievedly, cried in a low voice, and said softly: "Grandma, I'm just telling the truth, besides, I'm still so young, I don't want to die." ”

The magistrate watched the infighting of the Su family with cold eyes, sneered and ridiculed, and whispered: "Put them in prison and wait for them to be released." ”

When the Su family heard this, they immediately panicked and began to cry and beg.

And at this moment, it is time for Su Mulian to appear.

"Please also know the county lord to stop!" Su Mulian stood up and whispered.

"Su Mulian, what do you want to do?" Su Muran, who thought she was going to fall into the well, asked angrily with resentment.

Su Mulian didn't pay attention to her, but bent her knees slightly towards the magistrate, and said, "Please spare their lives." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised, after all, Su Mulian had a blood feud with them, even if she asked the magistrate to deal with it strictly, it was reasonable, but she never wanted him to show mercy to his subordinates.

The magistrate knew that Su Mulian was acting on purpose, so he cooperated and asked jokingly: "Oh? Miss Su, do you know that they killed you and your father, and your little sister is separated from yin and yang. ”

"Lord Zhixian, the person who caused us to be separated by yin and yang is Su Mao, not them." Su Mulian said.

The corners of the magistrate's mouth turned up slightly, as if he was smiling, and continued to ask: "But they secretly hid Su Mao, that is, they didn't report it, and they ignored the rule of law, so they should be dealt with with the same crime." ”

Su Mulian smiled sadly, and said slowly: "The Qin family has favored Su Mao since childhood, and now that this incident has happened, Su Mao is like the rat crossing the street, everyone shouts and beats, the Qin family protects Su Mao, but it is just a love for his son, but the method is wrong." ”

"Su Mulian, don't pretend to be a good person here." Qin clan's hands were clenched into perfection and he roared in a low voice, "Do you think I will forgive you? ”

Qin's reaction was met with dissatisfaction from everyone, and everyone said that Qin was like a white-eyed wolf, conniving at his son to harm another son.

However, what she said was right, Su Muzhi just wanted to pretend to be a good person in front of everyone to accumulate her good reputation.

Su Mulian smiled indifferently and continued: "You have always disliked our three rooms, even if we treat you well, it is taken for granted in your eyes, even if my parents die tragically, you don't care." ”

"Although we have severed our relationship, after all, blood is thicker than water, and I will naturally not sit idly by when I see you in trouble." Su Mulian frowned distressedly and said urgently.

Then he looked at the magistrate, bent his knees slightly, and pleaded in a low voice: "I hope that the magistrate will spare their lives, and let them fall lightly." ”

The magistrate, who pretended to hesitate for a long time, finally nodded and said: "This official can spare your life, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, so you will go to suffer a month in prison." ”

The form of the prison here is like that of modern times, similar to the fact that prisoners who are not subject to the death penalty will be put in and do hard labor.

Everyone in the Su family breathed a sigh of relief, the pain of prison was better than losing their lives.

"Su Mulian, even if you come to the rescue today, I won't thank you." The Qin clan glared at Su Mulian angrily, still counting all the faults in her hands, and smiled coldly.

Su Mulian pretended to be relieved, then raised a sweet smile, learned from the Holy Mother, and said softly: "Qin Clan, today is even if I have repaid my kindness for fifteen years. ”
