Chapter 141: Confession

"Pay the shopkeeper! What are you doing here? The county magistrate saw the person coming clearly, and hurriedly raised his hand to stop the officials who were about to rush forward to get the person, and looked at Fu Duozhi who was walking towards him with a puzzled expression.

"Master Lee." Fu Duozhi walked to the county master and arched his hand, "I came to find my friend, but I didn't expect to meet you here." ”

"Your friend?" The county magistrate glanced around, and after thinking about it, only Gao Yuxing could barely be friends with Fu Duozhi, so he pointed at him, "You mean Gao Yuxing?" ”

"No, no, no." Fu Duozhi hurriedly shook his head, "He's just a junior, and he doesn't have enough weight to become friends with the old man." ”

"And what are you talking about?" The county master really can't figure it out, even Gao Yuxing doesn't have this qualification, except for these catchers and small guys, no one else present is Gao Yuxing's age, nor does he have a prominent family background, I really don't know who Fu Duozhi is talking about.

"Master Li, I'm talking about the youngest girl on the other side." Fu Duozhi looked at Xia Yan, "She is not only a friend of the old man, but also a partner of the Ruyi Chamber of Commerce, and a great benefactor of the old man." ”

"Shopkeeper Fu, don't you want to intercede for that girl, so make up nonsense to coax me." The county magistrate's whole face was full of disbelief, "Even Gao Yuxing doesn't have this ability, you actually told me that an ordinary country girl is so powerful." It's okay to make friends with you, and it's understandable that she saved your life, but you said that she cooperated with the Ruyi Chamber of Commerce, and this joke is a bit big. ”

"Master Li, the old man is not joking with you." Fu Duozhi leaned towards the county master and said in a low voice, "Do you remember the favor I asked for with you yesterday?" ”

"Of course I remember, you said that there was a case yesterday, but it was big or small, let me turn a blind eye and act as if I didn't know." The county magistrate also responded in a low voice, "But I didn't fully agree to you, if no one comes to report this case, it's just that, I don't know, but if the victim sues me, then no matter how you plead, it's useless, the official should handle it impartially." ”

As he spoke, the county magistrate suddenly reacted, looked at Fu Duozhi with wide eyes, and said, "You begged for that little girl yesterday?" ”

"Exactly." Fu Duozhi looked serious, "Now you should know how important that kid is to my Ruyi Chamber of Commerce." ”

Hearing Fu Duozhi say this, the county master was really a little hesitant.

Yesterday, Fu Duozhi paid a lot of price in order to exchange for this favor, if he accepted it, it would be of great benefit to the development of his career in the future.

Since such a great price has been paid, the matter asked for will certainly not be solved easily.

If it's a trivial matter, as long as the victim doesn't care, then he doesn't care.

But he listened to Fu Duozhi's meaning, that person's injury was not light, this is not a trivial matter that can be fooled, he Li Qing has made a poisonous oath to the ancestors of the Li family since the first day he became the county prince, and he will be an honest and honest person, never be a foolish official who bends the law for bribes, does not seek to be famous and leave a green history, only wants to be worthy of his conscience.

Therefore, the county magistrate did not accept the tempting conditions offered by Fu Duozhi, but for the sake of the two of them, he promised that he would not take the initiative to interfere in this matter, but at the same time, he also warned Fu Duozhi that if he was found to have threatened the victim, then don't blame himself for tearing his face with him.

The county master was not afraid of offending Fu Duozhi at all, but he was afraid of the Ruyi Chamber of Commerce behind him.

If one accidentally annoys the Ruyi Chamber of Commerce, I'm afraid they will cut off business with Qin County.

Although there is a Ruyi Chamber of Commerce, there will be other chambers of commerce coming in, but it is not a day or two that can be solved, but I am afraid that during this period, Qin County will already be in chaos.

This is also the most important reason why the county master is still hesitating at the moment, he doesn't want to destroy the foundation of Qinxian County's business for so many years because of a little girl.

After Fu Duozhi's interruption, the county magistrate suddenly had the idea of letting Xia Yan go, after all, although Gao Yuxing was beaten, but looking at the lively appearance at this time, there must be no big problem, it is better to let them be private, so as not to hurt the harmony in court.

As for what Gao Yuxing said about this little girl bullying the market, the county master still felt that this statement was a bit exaggerated.

This kind of bullying and dominating the market is not something that ordinary people can do, and the county master doesn't believe that a little doll can have so much ability.

I'm afraid that it was this girl's business that affected Gao Yuxing's shop, so she made such a fuss.

After all, this boy is not a reliable person, and he can't fully believe what he says.

"Okay, that's all for today, for the sake of you being just children, the official will let you go. As for the injury on Young Master Gao's body, according to this official, it is not a big deal, you are still private. The county magistrate arched his hand towards Fu Duo, "Shopkeeper Fu, this official still has official business to do today, let's meet again another day and say goodbye." ”

"Thank you, Master Lee." Fu Duo returned the gift, "Another day, the old man will definitely bring Miss Xia Yan to the door to thank you." ”

Just when the county master beckoned his subordinates to go back with him, he saw his master running over out of breath.

"My lord, my lord, why did it take you so long to go out this time?" The master was in a hurry, tired and out of breath, and said intermittently, "You...... Come back with me, someone is already ...... The drum of grievances was beaten at the gate of the yamen for half an hour. ”

"Don't worry, speak slowly." The county master patted the master on the back, "What the hell is going on." ”

"My lord, Ah Zhong, the guy of Drunken Xiaolou, sued Xia Yan, the shopkeeper who was the food for the sky, regardless of the life and death of his peers, bullied the market, and deceived all the customers, resulting in no business in the entire grain shops and restaurants in Qin County. Even because of some trivial things, he was privately tortured in the palace, which almost killed him. ”

"What did you say?" The county magistrate thought he had misheard, "You tell me again." ”

The master's anxious head was about to get bigger, but he still repeated patiently: "My lord, Ah Zhong, the guy from the drunken Xiaolou, sued Xia Yan, the shopkeeper who is the food for the sky......"

"Sue whom?"

"Xia Yan, the shopkeeper of the food for the sky."

"Xia Yan?" The county magistrate looked at Fu Duozhi and smiled, "Shopkeeper Fu, this name sounds a little familiar, if this official is not mistaken, I said this name from your mouth just now." ”

"I ...... I ......" Fu Duo broke out in a cold sweat on his head, not knowing whether he should admit it or not.

The county master didn't expect his answer, at this time he had completely figured it out, the person who opened the shop, named Xia Yan, had done something to bully the market, plus hurt people, all of this happened to the little girl opposite.

Originally, he thought that this girl was just injuring someone, but he didn't expect that she would dare to privately punish the palace, and she really didn't take the laws of Huaguo into account.

He sighed, although the other party was a little doll, he was a little unbearable, but if he didn't arrest her today, he would be sorry for his conscience.

"Someone!" The county magistrate's voice was like a bell, "Bring me the four people on the other side!" ”

"Yes!" The momentum of the quick answers, pulling out the big knife on his waist and rushing forward, surrounded Xia Yan and the four of them.

"Miss, young master, just these few catches are not difficult for me and Tinglan, you can find a chance to escape while Tinglan and I lure them away." An Zhi, who had just rushed back from a distance, saw this formation, and out of nowhere she found a pair of daggers and held them tightly, "Young Master, Miss will be handed over to you to protect, please be sure to take her out safely." ”

"Don't worry, I will definitely protect Yan'er." Xia Huai pulled Xia Yan over and focused all his attention in order to find the best time to escape.

"Brother, we can't escape." Xia Yan struggled, but he didn't withdraw his hand from Xia Huai's hand, he could only look at the three people in front of him anxiously, "If we escape, what should they do if they are still eating the little tigers in the sky?" What should the mothers of the family do? ”

"Miss, don't worry." Ting Lan also took out the dagger he carried with him and put on an offensive posture, "When we solve these servants, we will naturally go to Shiweitian and take Xiaohu and them away." You and the young master will rush home first, take your wife to Tongzhou to hide, and when you avoid the limelight, Anzhi and I will pick you up. ”

Xia Yan thought that they were going to break the net with these servants, so he hurriedly said: "We didn't kill anyone, and the county master won't do anything to us." But if you kill these servants, we won't be able to cry out even if we are wronged. ”

"Miss, you don't know, in our country, private palace punishment is a big crime, if you are arrested by this county official, even if you don't die, you have to peel off your skin." An Zhi gritted her teeth, "Although Tinglan and I don't have the right to stop this county official, we still have the kung fu to stop this group of officials. Rest assured, we will not kill people easily without your orders. ”

"Yes, miss, don't hesitate." Ting Lan winked at Xia Yan and said with a smile, "An Zhi and I promise you that we will definitely survive this catastrophe smoothly." ”

"What do you promise?" Xia Yan looked serious, "Now is not the time to say witty words, if you have a chance to fall into the hands of the county master, then I will blame myself for the rest of my life, it is better to let me admit this crime." ”

"No, miss, you have to trust us." Ting Lan was anxious, "I'll be fine with Anzhi, and you'll be fine, really, you should just go out with the young master and Mrs. for a while." ”

But no matter how Anzhi and Tinglan persuaded her, Xia Yan looked like she was going to confess.

Seeing that her comfort didn't have any effect, An Zhi was anxious to tell the truth, didn't she and Tinglan just want Miss to leave quickly, so that they could go to His Royal Highness to solve this matter, but why was it so difficult to even take the first step?

Seeing that the persuasion of the two had no effect, and the surrounding officials were getting closer and closer, Ting Lan could only sigh, took out a small wooden bucket from his arms, and pulled out the bottom stopper.

Just listen to "Woo! With a bang, a red light flickered and flew into the sky.
