Chapter Thirty-Nine: Another Change
Almost everyone present was dumbfounded, only Tian Yao and a few people could barely maintain their calmness, and Ah Li, who had always had a calm personality, when she peeked at his reaction, she found that his expression was as usual, and she didn't seem surprised at all by the result of such a trial.
The crowd was a little noisy, everyone couldn't accept such an outrageous trial result, and when they arrested others, their faces were still gloomy, and they actually said that they were not guilty at this time? The anger must have died down too quickly.
"What a noise! The official has already explained the reason, although Tian Yao is dressed as a man, she has not made any big mistakes, and she has good conduct and talent, which can completely offset the merits! His angry shout echoed through the courtroom, quieting the crowd.
In fact, everyone can see that there is a problem in this, but they don't dare to say it clearly, and the people like Tian Yao and others, who are very kind, and they don't want the little girl to go to prison because of this, so they don't dare to say more after being reprimanded by the county order.
However, this may really be the fastest and most unexpected court trial ever.
The county commander waved his hand and asked the officers and soldiers to disperse the onlookers, so the people left one after another, still talking about the matter, believing that the next day, this matter would become a new topic for everyone to talk about after tea.
But not everyone was satisfied with the results of this interrogation, such as Chen Xiucai, who almost fainted after knowing the results.
It took him a long time to come back to his senses, but he couldn't help but scold: "What county order? What parent officer? Being an official is not the master of the people! ”
"Accepting bribes from others, bending the law for personal gain, Chen Ming is really in vain for this parent official!"
He was obviously angry, and he scolded on the street, and brought the name of the county order, and his voice spread far away, attracting the attention of the people. But the more Chen Xiucai scolded, the more angry he became, completely leaving the serious consequences of this incident behind.
However, his scolding did not win justice, but attracted people with bad expressions. First a few children stopped to throw stones, then several women hit him with eggs and vegetables, and in the back, several strong men walked up to him menacingly, and when Chen Xiucai came back to his senses, he found that he had been surrounded by a group.
In fact, the county order, that is, Chen Ming's reputation is very good in the city, because he is indeed kind and charitable, cherishes talents, is very loved among the people, and has a good reputation.
"The officers and soldiers are coming!" The sudden sound scared Chen Xiucai out of a cold sweat, he turned back tremblingly, and sure enough, he saw a dense crowd of officers and soldiers, it turned out that someone had informed Chen Ming of the matter, and the county order specially sent someone to arrest him.
Chen Xiucai, who had just scolded heartily, wanted to hit his head against the wall at this time, he trembled with fear, and finally turned around and disappeared into the alley before the officers and soldiers arrived.
The officers and soldiers were taken aback, and immediately reacted again, roaring angrily and chasing in the direction where Chen Xiucai ran. Helplessly, the place where he fled happened to be the most complicated place in the city, and all kinds of alleys made the officers and soldiers dizzy, and finally someone suggested that he could go to Chen Xiucai's house to search, which was approved by most people.
When a group of people arrived at Chen's house, they were disappointed to find that there was no trace of Chen Xiucai here, only Chen was alone at home.
After she understood the result, she did not share the same hatred with them as others thought, but said indignantly: "You guys are too much, how can you treat me like this?" ”
Then she scolded like Chen Xiucai, "What is breaking the county order, if you don't arrest good people, you want to move us ordinary people!" Tian Yao disguised herself as a man to participate in the township test, but she came to embarrass our family at this time! ”
Her scolding appearance is exactly the same as Chen Xiucai, she is worthy of being his wife, and sure enough, things gather like and people are grouped.
When the officers and soldiers heard the woman's cursing, they only felt upset, and directly arrested Chen, "You better talk to your father-in-law about this." After coldly abandoning these words, the leader of the officers and soldiers waved his hand expressionlessly and ordered everyone to escort this woman away.
Soon after they left, the thatched stack of Chen Xiucai's house shook slightly, and a man came out of it in the middle of the night, and the embarrassed appearance was Chen Xiucai, who was being searched by officers and soldiers everywhere. At this time, Chen Xiucai looked at the backs of the officers and soldiers leaving, spit out a straw from his mouth and said, "It's good that I didn't go in, otherwise I would have been arrested with this woman." He said with great joy in his heart, but he seemed to have completely forgotten his wife, who had been taken away.
"Wait for me to leave immediately, leave this hellish place, and see how you still oppress me." Chen Xiucai babbled as he went into the house to pack up some softness, preparing to flee the city immediately, but to join other relatives.
Fortunately, after the officers and soldiers searched the place, they did not come a second time, and he sorted out a small burden very smoothly, and hurriedly prepared to go out with a quilt on his body.
He had already had a beautiful fantasy in his heart, thinking that after he left this town, he would settle in another place, not only would no one bother him, but also get rid of the unruly evil lady of the Chen family, and take this opportunity to marry a young and beautiful concubine, and his life would be really comfortable.
He walked leisurely to the lobby, and when he saw the dark shadow standing in front of his house, he was terrified.
It was a slender young man, with black eyes and a handsome face, leaning on the door frame with his arms crossed, blocking the door of the house tightly, and at this moment he noticed Chen Xiucai's arrival, and the corners of his mouth slightly hooked up a smile.
Chen Xiucai recognized that the young man in front of him was the person next to Tian Yao, so he was even more frightened, and he couldn't say anything in horror, but pointed at Ah Li with his finger and said, "You...... You ......"
Ah Li still had that faint smile, "Chen Xiucai, I guess you want to ask me what I'm looking for you for no reason?" ”
Chen Xiucai's tongue at this time was like a knot, he didn't speak but nodded violently, seeing this scene, the smile on the corner of Ah Li's mouth became more obvious.
"But why don't you think the prefectural magistrate will tell me everything? Including the whistleblower letter. ”
For Chen Xiucai, the young man's leisurely tone seemed to be stabbing him with a knife, and after hearing this, Chen Xiucai seemed to have lost his strength all over his body, and fell to the ground with a desperate expression.
Chen Xiucai was quickly sent to the government.
When the county commander Chen Ming knew that such a big living person was actually captured by Ah Li alone, he was speechless in astonishment, and only sighed that the hero was a young man, Tian Yao was too, and Ah Li was too.
Soon, Chen Xiucai was also escorted to the court, and this time he simply caused public outrage, so no one wanted to sympathize with him. Chen Ming dismissed Chen Xiucai from his name on charges of inciting the masses and imprisoned him for another year.
Chen Xiucai had already received the punishment he deserved, and when he saw this person being taken to prison, Tian Yao's expression was not very happy, and he stared at their backs silently for a long time.
"What's wrong?" Ah Li's light voice rang in his ears, and he sounded very comfortable.
She shook her head and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I think we should get out of town." At the mention of separation, her eyes dimmed a little.
Ah Li looked at her silently, and suddenly smiled: "Yes." A short word, but there was a sense of certainty, Tian Yao's heart trembled, opened her mouth, and finally couldn't say anything.
She actually wanted to ask, will Ah Li always be by her side?
But she didn't dare, Tian Yao could feel that Ah Li was carrying a lot of secrets, different from ordinary people, just like this time, I didn't usually see him practice martial arts, but he was able to capture Chen Xiucai alive. She didn't follow her, so she didn't know what was going on, but the young man's unfazed face always haunted me.
Tian Yao felt that she was really crazy, and she couldn't help but sigh lightly.
The two returned to their lodgings and were surprised to find that someone had been waiting there for a long time.
"Sister Snowwhite." Tian Yao shouted with a smile, and when she heard this, the woman turned her face and showed a sweet smile on her face, "Sister Tian Yao, you are finally back, I have been waiting for you for a long time." ”
Tian Yao keenly noticed that Bai Xue was talking about "you" instead of you, and was a little puzzled, and at this time Ah Li had quietly exited the house.
Bai Xue's gaze fell on Ah Li's departing back, nodding while looking, making Tian Yao feel a little inexplicable, and then Bai Xue poked her cheek with a smile.
"Look stupid? Girl? Bai Xue's eyes were full of smiles, and Tian Yao, who was covering her cheeks, reacted when she heard this, and immediately blushed, "What are you talking about!" ”
Bai Xue just smiled, but Tian Yao's gaze was meaningful, "I'm serious, Ah Li is very good, he looks good, understands people's minds, and is quite capable, although his temperament is a little indifferent, but he is only very good to you, you must grasp such a good person." ”
Without speaking, Tian Yao blushed again, this time her neck was dyed with a faint flush, and she said coquettishly: "Can you stop making trouble." "Why didn't she see this girl so capable of making trouble before?
However, this Bai Xue also knows how to accept it when she sees it, and she is really annoyed when she sees Tian Yao if she continues to talk about it, so she restrained her smile and got down to business, "Sister Ayao, I'm sorry that day, I didn't know that it was you who asked the county magistrate to apologize to you." Those watery eyes were sparkling, and they looked a little pitiful.
Tian Yao burst out laughing, "It's okay, thanks to you for saving me, if it weren't for your intercession, I wouldn't know what to do now?" ”
Bai Xue looked very happy about her understanding, pursed her lips and smiled for a long time and said: "My husband has always respected me very much, and he has to come to ask my opinion if he has anything to do, in fact, I know that he has already made up his mind in his heart, but he still insists on asking me." As she spoke, her snow-colored skin was flushed, and her jade face was full of happiness and contentment.
