Xie Jinlan glanced at Mother Feng, who was silent below, and said lightly, "Why didn't Mother Feng speak?" But what have you done that is not enough to be a foreigner? ”

Mother Feng suddenly came back to her senses and said loudly: "The people are wronged! For so many years, women have always been law-abiding citizens! Please also have a clear understanding of the prefect! ”

Ruan Yezhen behind the screen heard this, and immediately laughed silently: A good citizen who abides by the law?

Even if there are no illegal things such as buying and selling girls from good families and forcing good people to become prostitutes, with Feng's mother's behavior in the past, she can't be regarded as a good citizen, right?

Xie Jinlan sneered and said, "Really? Mother Feng, think about everything clearly before you speak! Did you know that lying in court is a crime! ”

When Feng's mother heard this, she was shocked. couldn't help but quietly raise his eyes to look at Xie Jinlan.

Seeing the other party's expressionless appearance, she really couldn't tell if he really knew something, or if he was deliberately deceiving her.

When Xie Jinlan's gaze swept over, she quickly lowered her head again, suppressed the apprehension in her heart, and said calmly: "My lord Mingjian, women don't dare to lie!" ”

Xie Jinlan didn't look at her anymore, and directly ordered the catcher below: "Someone!" Put Feng's mother in prison for the time being! ”

As soon as these words came out, Feng's mother immediately panicked: "My lord, you can't arrest a woman and put her in jail for no reason!" The women did not commit any illegal acts! ”

Xie Jinlan said: "Buying and selling girls from good families, forcing good people to become prostitutes, are these two crimes enough to detain you!" ”

Mother Feng suddenly fell to the ground and shouted injustice: "My lord, someone must have framed the people's women!" Don't listen to slander! ”

Xie Jinlan said: "Whether it is really a frame-up, this official will investigate clearly!" This official will not wronged a good person, but he will never let go of a wicked person! ”

After the words fell, he looked at the catcher standing below: "What are you still doing in a daze?" This official can't send you? ”

The leader of the catcher immediately came back to his senses and arched his hand: "My lord's forgiveness!" ”

Then he glanced at the side and the other side of the catcher.

Immediately, two catchers came out of the ranks, and regardless of Feng's mother's shouting and struggle, they took her down directly.

After Feng's mother was taken out of the court, the place instantly became quiet.

It was a thin, thin, goateeed man in his early forties at the bottom left who broke the silence.

But seeing him caressing his beard and smiling kindly:

"Dare to ask Lord Xie, who sued Feng's mother for buying and selling a girl from a good family and forcing Liang to become a prostitute? But is there any physical evidence? ”

Xie Jinlan glanced at him and smiled meaningfully:

"Master Zhou is afraid that this official will be deceived by others, so as to wronged a good person? Or are you worried that this official is the new official who has three fires in office, and intends to show himself? ”

Master Zhou is an old man in the prefect's yamen. When the former prefect Lan Wenlun was still there, he was very important to him. The people below were also very convinced of him. He was the second-in-command of the government.

Now, Lan Wenlun has been promoted, and everyone in the government still doesn't know much about Xie Jinlan, the new prefect. Coupled with his extraordinary background, everyone preconceived that he, the prefect, did not do practical things.

It can be said that in today's mansion, except for the people brought by Xie Jinlan himself, everyone else is looking at the head of the Zhou master. I don't think of Xie Jinlan as a thing in my heart.

Xie Jinlan understands this.

But he didn't care. He believed that as long as what he did was worthy of his official position, over time, he would definitely be able to gain the trust of the people in the government.

Thinking of this, Xie Jinlan couldn't help but smile in his heart: he was once determined to be a rich and idle idler. Once upon a time, his mind began to change?

Glancing at the screen inadvertently, looking at the figure projected on the screen, he was suddenly relieved: Perhaps, it is for someone who cares, and wants to become a better version of himself......

"My lord misunderstood. As the main bookkeeper, it is the duty of the subordinate to understand the facts of the case. ”

Master Zhou's words with a smile pulled back Xie Jinlan's thoughts that were gradually drifting away.

Xie Jinlan looked at him and said, "Master Zhou will come to the study with me." ”

Then, without waiting for Master Zhou's book to react, he got up and left. When passing the screen, he motioned for Ruan Yezhen to follow.

Master Zhou got up and saluted Xie Jinlan's back without changing or busy, and said with a smile: "The next official receives the order." ”

After Xie Jinlan took Ruan Yezhen away, the catchers below gathered around Zhou Zhushu and talked nonsense.

"Master Zhou, why did you say that the adults asked you to go to the study?"

"Could it be that you just said what he was thinking, and he was angry and wanted to teach you a hard lesson?"

"How is this possible? Zhou is a scholar, but he can't stand the toss of adults! ”

"Master Zhou, I'll go with you. Anyway, the adults didn't say that they would just let you go alone. If the adults want to punish you for something, I'll do it for you! ”

"I'd better go."

"I'll go!"

"Let me go!"

......

A group of catchers quarreled endlessly, blushing and arguing for this opportunity.

"Well, your lord is not such an indiscriminate person, you can rest assured."

It was Master Zhou who opened his mouth, and they quieted down.

When everyone heard this, they still couldn't hide their worries on their faces.

Master Zhou smiled: "Do I look like the kind of person who will make myself suffer?" ”

Everyone shook their heads in unison.

Don't look at Master Zhou's book, he is always smiling on weekdays, looking like a good old man. They have worked with him for many years, and they know that this man is a black sesame stuffing.

If someone goes against him, it's often the other party who is unlucky.

Thinking like this, everyone suddenly put their hearts at ease.

When Master Zhou arrived in the study, Xie Jinlan and Ruan Yezhen were already seated in the study.

Master Zhou's gaze swept from Ruan Yezhen in the upper left to Xie Jinlan in the back of the bookcase.

Immediately, he bowed to Xie Jinlan: "Xiaguan has seen an adult!" ”

Then his footsteps moved slightly, and his posture remained unchanged and he faced Ruan Yezhen: "I've seen Madame!" ”

Ruan Yezhen's eyes suddenly widened slightly in surprise, and she glanced at Xie Jinlan.

Xie Jinlan said with a smile: "Master Zhou doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat." ”

After Master Zhou took his seat, Xie Jinlan said: "Master Zhou is worthy of being the person valued by Lord Lan. I don't know when Master Zhou saw the identity of Neizi? ”

Master Zhou glanced at Ruan Yezhen, and then said:

"Xia Guan didn't see the identity of the lady at first. It's just that in recent days, I have seen that adults and ladies often go in and out together, and the adult's personal servants, as well as the four close-fitting maids of the lady, have an unusual attitude towards the lady when they wear men's clothes. ”

"Bang Bang!"

Xie Jinlan clapped his hands lightly and praised: "Master Zhou's book is really observant. ”

Ruan Yezhen also put away her surprise at this moment, and said with a slight smile: "Let Master Zhou laugh." ”
