Chen Xiuli naturally fulfilled her, let the yacha drag her down, and beat her with twenty boards, which were sturdy, so that the widow of the king screamed at the beginning and finally the screams became weaker and weaker.

"My lord! I testify perjury, I confess, I confess! It was the widow who bribed me with five taels of silver, and let me pull flowers into the stream! When I passed by, I did see that it was Hua Sangsang who pushed Miss Wang into the water, and then this Hua Manxi jumped down to save Miss Wang! Ask the adults to go around their lives! Spare your life! Seeing that the widow Wang was pulled back in a dying state, Zhang Guizi was so frightened that his legs and feet were weak, and he hurriedly admitted his mistake, "It's because I saw the money, and I also thought that Hua Sangsang was my cheap daughter after all, and I didn't want to confess to her, but who would have thought that they didn't want Hua Sangsang to be good, they actually wanted to kill her!" ”

Chen Xiuli nodded, for the sake of his initiative to confess, the punishment was reduced. Only ten boards were played.

The whole case has been revealed, and it was Ding Shuqing who wanted to frame Wang Shishi and Hua Manxi to make such a big scene.

Wang's widow abused her daughter-in-law and participated in the murder, and after beating the board, she was sentenced to five years in prison. Zhang Guizi only gave false testimony, beat ten boards, and was imprisoned for half a month as a punishment.

And Wang Dazhuang, because his mother and relatives took all the charges, so they were safe and sound, but Hua Sangsang was in the Wang family, and the Wang family had to pay a certain amount of silver to Hua Sangsang's parents.

The whole case is over, but this Lord Qin, why does he support Ding Shuqing? Hua Manxi couldn't figure it out.

Seeing that Chen Xiuli was decisive in killing, Lord Qin convicted everyone with a degree of guilt, only felt cold sweat, as long as he opened his mouth to leave, Chen Xiuli turned around unhurriedly, and said lightly: "Why don't Lord Qin stay, let the lower officials invite you to have a seafood dinner, and then it's not too late to leave?" ”

"No need, no need, since Lord Chen has not bent the law for personal gain, naturally there is no need for this official to sit in charge anymore, and this official will go back." That Lord Qin wiped his sweat and arched his hand.

"Lord Qin has come from afar, and if you don't stay to eat a prison meal in Shishan County, wouldn't it be a trip in vain?" A clear, quiet voice suddenly interjected.

Everyone raised their eyes and saw a man wearing a half-mask slowly walking in, and it could be seen from his clothes that it was Xu Jinfei.

Behind him was a light breeze, light clouds, and a resolute man, the man was wearing an official uniform, and he also led a team of yacha, and the formation was even bigger than that of Lord Qin.

As soon as Lord Qin saw him, his feet were weak, and he was about to flee.

"Catch the criminal minister Qin Fan!" The man commanded in a cold voice, "Buckle up the shackles and take it back." ”

"Master Chen, I'm sorry for your trouble." When the resolute man saw that his subordinates had taken Qin Fan away, he arched his hand and said to Chen Xiuli, "This official Li Yuan." This Qin Fan is greedy and perverts the law, and he has been known by the above, and ordered the official to replace his position, and arrested him, who knew that he got the news in advance, and he actually ran away secretly, and came to you to make trouble, probably because he saw the plaque of the town of food, and wanted to occupy your political achievements and make up for it. ”

"Lord Li is polite, the official's political achievements are not greedy if he wants to, no wonder he came to the prison to take Ding Shuqing away, it turned out that he wanted to set up this bureau." Chen Xiuli suddenly realized this, and politely kept Master Li for dinner.

"No, this official mainly wants to send the plaque of the hometown of food issued by the emperor this time, and I don't want to catch this Qin Fan." Lord Li ordered someone to lift the plaque of the hometown of food and hand it to Chen Xiuli, "The people above are very interested in you, the hometown of food, and it is the time of annual leave, I think there will be a lot of nobles coming over, Lord Chen must pay attention to safety and do a good job of defense." Master Li kindly admonished again.

"Thank you for reminding me, the lower officials will definitely pay attention." Chen Xiuli politely packed his luggage and sent Master Li away.

A turmoil fell, but Wang Shishi still had palpitations, grabbed Chen Xiuli's arm and said: "Cousin, didn't this Ding Shuqing kidnap Manxi's mother last time, didn't he put him in prison?" Why did it come out again? ”

Chen Xiuli also felt a little guilty when he talked about this matter, and said in a low voice: "Blame me, there are three sides of the sea here, and the news is a little blocked, and I don't even know about this Lord Qin, so he led someone to take Ding Shuqing away for interrogation." ”

"How could Ding Shuqing be angry with Lord Qin?" Hua Manxi didn't understand this the most, she always felt that this matter might not be so simple, according to Ding Shuqing's brain, she couldn't come up with such a brilliant plan.

Through the death of Hua Sangsang, he dragged himself and Wang Shishi into the water, and then used this to frame Chen Xiuli for the crime of bending the law for personal gain and favoring relatives, and defeated Chen Xiuli, so that he could naturally take over Shishan County and take the food town they had so hard to get out as their own.

"Young Master Xu, how do you know that Lord Qin is a fox and a fake tiger? He also moved Master Li to be a rescuer. Hua Manxi felt that Xu Jinfei might be able to answer questions, so he hurriedly stepped forward, took off the mask covering the upper half of his face for him, and asked in a low voice.

Xu Jinfei took off her mask and revealed a handsome and noble face.

Xu Jinfei smiled slightly, a touch of pampering flashed in his deep eyes, touched Hua Manxi's head, and said in a low voice: "Then my Hua Xiaochu must be smart enough, otherwise I won't be able to call Master Li to help." ”

Hua Manxi was so warmed by his sudden smile that his heart melted, and he blushed slightly embarrassedly, and said: "This time, it's not my credit, but the credit of Lord Chen and Mr. Qi Yan, if they hadn't cheated out that Ding Shuqing was the one who wrote the note, I might have been beaten." ”

Speaking of this, Wang Shishi was a little curious, and asked, "Cousin, what kind of ink-making family is you, the retinue who organizes documents?" Can you see that it was a note written by Ding Shuqing? So mysterious? That's amazing, isn't it? ”

Chen Xiuli laughed and didn't say anything, but Qi Yan sneered and laughed, and then said loudly: "Miss Wang praised it falsely, it's just some small skills of carving insects, it's just bluffing, it's not a descendant of an ink-making family, but when I first came out, I deliberately bumped into that Ding Shuqing and wiped something on his hand, which made some rouge surface when he washed his hands, and the note, the ink has long faded, it must not be written within half an hour, I deliberately deceived him." ”

"I see! Cousin, you're so bad! Wang Shishi then understood, laughed, and then said guiltily, "Hua Xiaochu, I'm really sorry, this time I hurt you, if I hadn't done bad things to Ding Shuqing, he wouldn't have done this-"

"You can pull it down, his family is already so bad, even if you don't deal with him, he will come to deal with me, it's okay now, it's completely clean." Hua Manxi didn't have the slightest sympathy for this kind of person, but sighed, "Pity Hua Sangsang, all his heart is on him, and in the end he was killed by his own hands." ”

A few people sighed a few words, and watched the sky outside gradually get dark.

"It's so late, it's too late to go back to Peach Blossom Village, why don't you come to my house for dinner, it can be regarded as celebrating the rest of our lives after the disaster." Hua Manxi proposed.

The group should be fine, and returned to Hua Manxi's home in a mighty way, Hua Manxi was about to send someone home to say something, but he didn't want his aunt and Hua Lanxiang and others to come to the house long ago, and they were looking forward to their return.

"Full Stream! Are you okay! Fortunately, there is Xu Gongzi, otherwise we wouldn't know what to do! When Hua Lanxiang saw that Hua Manxi was back, she quickly took her hand and looked her up and down.

"That's right, it's really thanks to Xu Gongzi who knows people, otherwise we wouldn't know what to do, this Ding Shuqing is really bad, in order to harm you, he actually poisoned people!" The eldest aunt also had palpitations, "I saw you being taken away by those people, and I was scared to death." ”

This can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, which directly raised Xu Jinfei's status in Hua Lanxiang's heart by a level.

"Okay, aren't we all right? By the way, there is another good news to tell you, that Lord Chen made a recital last time, saying that he had applied for a plaque for Shishan County as a food town, and now when Lord Li came over, he happened to bring it over, you can take a look. Hua Manxi said happily.

The attention of a group of people was really diverted, you know, this is a royal gift, in ancient times, the royal gift was precious, some people will not see it for a lifetime!

The plaque was originally to be placed in the county government, but the county government's officials were also going to go home for the New Year, and only Chen Xiuli didn't live in the county government, so it was better to put it in Wang's mansion.

Several people looked at the golden plaque, they were all amazed, and wanted to touch it, but they were afraid that it would be damaged, so they all stared at it and looked at it.

"Okay, just take a look, Master Chen, when are you going to hang this plaque? Where to hang it? "Hua Manxi is not a native, and I don't think this plaque is so sacred, but it is glittering, and it will become a status symbol of Shishan County in the future.

"It's the first day of the new year." Chen Xiuli said lightly.

"It's just right, hang it on the first day of the new year, festive." Wang Shishi also interjected.

"This needs to be reminded by Brother Xu, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of asking for this plaque, with this plaque, even if other states and counties want to imitate our practices, it will be a head below us in name." When Chen Xiuli said this, he raised his eyes to look at Xu Jinfei, and his gratitude was beyond words.

"Why worry about it." Xu Jinfei smiled faintly, turned his head to Hua Manxi's eyes, and said in a low voice, "Hua Xiaochu, you can cook, the three of us master and servant, hurry up and move the rescuers, but we are so hungry that our chests are pressed against our backs." ”
