Chapter 174: Detention in accordance with law
The latter is a handsome young man, with a carved face with distinct facial features, and an angular face that is unusually handsome. Seeing that he was dressed in white and clean, like a tree with a branch, planted among the green mountains and green waters, he had the essence of heaven and earth; It is like Kunlun jade, exuding a faint brilliance, and I can't help but be stunned.
Song Ziyu suddenly rejoiced when he saw him: "Little daughter-in-law! That's not Ma Feiyi, the second son of Sima Dexiang's family, who I saw at the banquet of the Bai family in the capital! It's to save your son. ”
Lu Caiqing quickly recalled, and suddenly remembered that handsome son, no wonder he had a vague memory of him, the situation at that time would be panicked by anyone, how could he care about the appearance of the family, not to mention that the family is a descendant of the official family, and he lives in the capital, how could he think that he would see him again in the future.
And the things that day were all handled by Lin Huaijin and Brother Lin, so he didn't have the extra mood to take care of the appearance of Ma Gongzi, who saved people.
At this time, the two of them had already walked to the hall, and they saw a steward standing up and shouting, "Be quiet! This is the new prefect of Jeju Prefecture dispatched by the capital, Lord Zhou! After investigation, it was found that the prefect was corrupt and bent the law, detained the people, and looted the people's property. ”
"Ascension! See clearly that this is the fateful document of Lord Zhou Zhou of my family, from now on, this prefect will be officially taken over by our Lord Zhou, come on! Remove Gao Sheng, remove Wusha, take the official palace to custody and await trial! "The officers and soldiers under your command saw that you were well-trained, and you would hold the person in three strokes and two strokes, and the master still dodged at first when he saw this, and when he saw that he was really moving, he squeezed into the crowd and was coaxed back by the common people.
As soon as Ma Feiyi saw that he had returned to the officers and soldiers to take him down, Zhou Ru saw that the lobby had regained calm, raised his eyes and looked at Lu Caiqing and the others, and then paced to the upper seat and sat down.
Ma Feiyi walked in front of Lu Caiqing, nodded slightly, and then stood beside him with the steward.
Zhou Ru listened to the chaotic people still discussing the arrest of Gao Sheng just now, patted the shocked wood, and said: "When this official first arrived here, he caught up with someone beating the drum and shouting grievances, I don't know what the so-called thing is? ”
Lu Caiqing's heart turned so fast, as soon as she heard it, she knew that the new official had taken office three times, this was to establish a good reputation for herself, and if she wanted to make decisions for herself through this matter, it would be easy to do, and quickly pulled Song Ziyu and Liu Shuangzhu to kneel and kowtow, she said: "Lord Zhou!" Today is the little woman beating the drum and shouting grievances for Chen Chungen, a villager in Chenjia Village, and his wife! ”
As soon as he pulled the corner of Liu Tiezhu's clothes, he knew that this new official was going to call the shots for himself, so he shouted: "Lord Zhou! My grandfather's family was wronged! ”
Seeing Ma Feiyi whispering a few words in Lord Zhou's ear, Zhou Ru waved his hand and shouted, "Someone! Go to No. 32 Baiyun Street and arrest Miao Rongfeng. ”
"Yes!" Seeing that their own family had changed their masters, and the officers and soldiers who had just arrived were not familiar with the place, they still carried out this kind of errand of arresting people, and it was good to leave a good impression in front of the newly appointed prefect.
The leader of the government took a few people to the Miao Mansion to arrest people, and the prefect bowed his head and said, "The three people in the hall will get up first and reply." ”
Song Ziyu listened, hurriedly got up and helped Lu Caiqing up, distressed, since she knew her, she hadn't seen her kowtow to anyone, but now in order to clear the grievances of her benefactor's parents, she lowered her posture and whispered for peace.
While waiting for others, Ma Feiyi lowered his head and confided in Zhou Ru's ear for a long time, and then looked up at Lu Caiqing under the hall, his eyes full of doubts.
At this time, I heard a loud shout from the audience: "Are you crazy? I am the dignified master of the Miao Mansion in Jeju Mansion, and the prefect of your family is my best friend, and I will let you kneel and beg me one by one. ”
"Let's go! Are you still waiting in the hall for questions? The official said urgently.
When he arrived in the lobby, Miao Rong didn't even raise his head to tidy up his clothes, and said disdainfully: "Lord Gao! Isn't it just some little guys? Look at how you are in a hurry and invite me here, you are short of money, you say, I can pay. ”
"Miao Rongfeng! You can see it clearly if you look closely, and now sitting in the hall is the new prefect Zhou Ru Zhou, who was directly transferred from Beijing! Open your dog's eyes and see clearly! The steward beside Zhou Ru shouted loudly.
When Miao Rongfeng heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he quickly turned around and saw the people in the lobby with righteous faces, and his heart suddenly chuckled.
Lu Caiqing took a closer look at the culprit in front of him, only to see that he was about fifty years old, his eyes drooped slightly, and he looked very uneasy, the corners of his eyes were full of wrinkles, showing traces of time, his slender face, and his chin was outrageously long.
"Don't kneel down when you see Lord Zhou!" Before the words fell, the official stepped forward, still kneeling in the public hall as if he was kicking Lu Caiqing.
When Zhou Ru saw it, he opened his mouth and asked, "Underground Miao Rongfeng!" In today's court, Lu Caiqing sued you for beating Chen Chungen, who was asking for wages, so that together with his wife Li Xiu'e and his son-in-law Liu Dahai, you admit your guilt or not! ”
Miao Rongfeng knelt on the ground, his legs were as heavy as lead, looking at the form in front of him, it was useless for him to make the silver, so he would die and not admit it, so he said: "Lord Zhou! I was wronged! My Miao family took out just four taels of silver, but he Chen Chungen was unreasonable, took the silver and cheated, and was blasted out by my family, and came to sue me when he died, I didn't hurt anyone! ”
"You don't plead guilty! Come! Bring his housekeeper and the parties with him! Zhou Ru shouted.
After a while, the two of them were brought up, Lu Caiqing blinked, looking at the things in front of him as if they had been prepared in advance, witnesses and evidence were readily available, and in the end, Miao Rongfeng could not deny that he was taken into custody pending trial according to the law of Great Wei.
At the end of the matter, the people applauded, and they all said passionately that there was a good official in Jeju who was honest and honest.
Although Lu Caiqing knew that this was the best result, firstly, he came to avenge the grievances of Chen Chungen and Uncle Liu in Chenjia Village, and secondly, he also rescued Liu Shuangzhu safely, and he and Song Ziyu were also safe and sound, this is the best ending.
But how does she feel that her actions like this are to gain a good reputation for others, and to make wedding dresses for others, she feels like she is being used by others.
When the matter is over, there is no need to stay in the court, the common people are talking about the newly appointed prefect in groups and praising his fairness, Lu Caiqing and Song Ziyu supported Liu Shuangzhu and walked back slowly.
At this time, one person hurriedly walked out of the gate of the mansion and caught up with the three of them, and Song Ziyu said enthusiastically when he saw him: "Young Master Ma!" I didn't expect us to be able to meet in Jeju Mansion, it's really fateful, last time you saved your little daughter-in-law with righteousness, and today it is your help that saved us from suffering from flesh and skin! ”
Ma Feiyi smiled at Song Ziyu and said: "Song Gongzi is polite, helping is just a gesture, why keep it in mind, now this Brother Liu is fine!" ”
When Liu Shuangzhu heard the question about his injury, he hurriedly replied: "It's just a pain in the back after it's okay, and it's good to heal from a minor injury for a few days!" ”
"Brother Liu has suffered! Our family Lord Zhou is a good official who is honest and honest, and when he comes here, the people of Jeju City are blessed, and my lord sent me to comfort the families of the victims, I don't know where Brother Liu's mother is now? He moved his gaze to Lu Caiqing and asked.
Lu Caiqing felt uncomfortable, she didn't know why, she just didn't like him, as if she had just started to treat Bai Xiaoran, and in the end, Bai Xiaoran didn't hurt her fourth brother Yunge.
He didn't answer her question, after all, this person saved her twice, no matter how he said that he was his benefactor, not to mention the purpose of saving people, people also do business, so he replied: "Ma Gongzi just come with us, Aunt Liu lives in a relatively remote inn, Ma Gongzi should not dislike it." ”
Ma Feiyi saw that Lu Caiqing finally spoke back, and secretly exhaled in his heart, as if he suddenly felt relaxed, Lu Caiqing saw it, and wondered in his heart, is it so important to talk to him?
Lu Caiqing didn't continue to talk to him with questions, so he helped Liu Shuangzhu to walk in front, only Song Ziyu said a few words to him from time to time.
Not far away, I saw the remote inn, at this time the sun was already in the west, and seeing that the sky was about to get dark, Lu Caiqing looked up and saw Song Ziwu standing at the door of the guest room, pacing back and forth, looking very anxious.
Song Ziyu rushed forward and asked, "Second brother! Didn't you look at Aunt Liu and take care of her? Why don't you go inside and run outside to do something? ”
Liu Shuangzhu held on to the pain in his body, thinking that something had happened to his mother, so he hurriedly walked a few steps upstairs and walked into the room, and then Song Ziwu said: "Big brother! Aunt Liu is fine! I'm worried about you! You and my sister-in-law lied to me! Just now, the shopkeeper came back and said that you and your sister-in-law left me and went to the yamen to file a complaint. ”
Lu Caiqing listened, patted Ziwu on the shoulder and said, "It's not that I left you, I gave you a difficult task, and you did it well!" I'll go see Aunt Liu, you and your eldest brother have a good chat. ”
Song Ziwu will never be irritable in front of Lu Caiqing, and now Lu Caiqing is a god-like existence in Song Ziwu's heart, and he respects, admires and respects her! So what the sister-in-law said was right, and now he is only angry with his eldest brother, and he doesn't discuss it with him if he is in danger.
Ma Feiyi and Song Ziwu said hello and followed Lu Caiqing into the room, Aunt Liu had already woken up when her son entered the door, and when Lu Caiqing and Ma Feiyi entered the door, the two mothers and sons were holding their heads at the head of the bed in pain.
Aunt Liu saw Lu Caiqing coming back, followed by an outsider, stabilized her mind, wiped away her tears, and beckoned someone to sit down and drink tea.
After Ma Feiyi said his intentions, he gave Aunt Liu's family ten taels of silver as the result and compensation for the salary on behalf of Lord Zhou. Aunt Liu held the silver at the cost of her life, and her tears fell down.
