Chapter 52: See You in Prison
Back on Shen Junling's Zhuangzi, Uncle Yang and Father Xiao let go of their hearts when they saw Xiao Yue coming back.
After a while, someone came to tell Xiao Yue that Shen Junling had arrived and wanted to see her.
Xiao Yue followed the subordinates to the flower hall in the main courtyard of Zhuangzi, Shen Junling sat on the seat, and Xiao Yue walked in.
Shen Junling put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Look at your current appearance, it's like Yang Changfa is dead, it's really useless." ”
Xiao Yue glared at Shen Junling, "We are just rural people living in the countryside, of course I panicked when I encountered this kind of thing, and I didn't know where to go for help after coming to the county seat." Yang Changfu can't see me, and he can't get into prison. ”
Shen Junling also knew that what he said just now was excessive, Yang Chang was sent to prison, if Xiao Yue still had the heart to eat and wash, he would look down on her.
Coughing lightly, he said indifferently: "Okay, I know about it, don't worry!" No one has ever dared to slander me like this, and this really doesn't take me seriously. After saying that, his eyes became sharp, and a touch of ruthlessness flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Xiao Yue has always seen Shen Junling, who is cynical, and he was a little stunned when he saw this for the first time.
Shen Junling saw Xiao Yue's appearance and said with a smile: "What? Scared. What a woman's kindness. He snorted disdainfully.
Xiao Yue shook her head, "No, I just feel that it's different from your usual you." ”
Shen Junling stopped talking, shaking his fan and pretending to be deep.
Xiao Yue tugged at the corners of her mouth and said, "I have already inquired, Zhao Peng went to the deceased's house before, and he wanted to buy the sauce recipe not long ago but we refused, I think he is taking revenge on us, and Yang Changfu is probably also involved." ”
Shen Junling shook his head, "Yang Changfu is not involved, but this matter was planned by him, what is the use of taking revenge on you?" Just got some money, Zhao Peng may be angry, but Yang Changfu is already an official, is money still a problem? What's more, the sauce business has been affected because of this incident, and it can't be sold at all recently, so with Yang Changfu's character, will he do this kind of loss-making business? ”
Yes! Yang Changfu will be rich sooner or later when he becomes an official, so what is he for? After thinking for a while, Xiao Yue understood that if she wanted more money, she had more power, and Yang Changfu had an appetite.
Xiao Yue hesitated and said, "Does he want you to help him get promoted?" ”
Shen Junling looked at her and said, "I'm not going to be too stupid, he's just trying to test me now, to force me to make a move." ”
Xiao Yue immediately figured out all the keys, it turned out that this disaster was just because of Yang Changfu's dream of being promoted. He wanted to use his relationship with Shen Junling to force Shen Junling to make a move, so as to decide whether to tie up with Shen Junling. is a vicious county adult, he is really a pig and a dog, a younger brother of Yang Changfa, he forgot what his surname was when he became an official.
Xiao Yue asked, "Then what now?" ”
Shen Junling said: "Don't worry, I have already sent someone to collect evidence, and the work of the Criminal Department has also arrived, and I will know how that person died when I ascend to the court tomorrow?" ”
Xiao Yue's heart was a little more stable. After thinking about it, she spoke again, "Can you take me to the prison to meet Changfa?" ”
Shen Junling thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Xiao Yue hurriedly called Uncle Yang and Father Xiao to see Shen Junling in prison. They are also very worried about Yang Changfa, so it would be better to feel at ease to meet people at this time.
On the way to the prison, Xiao Yue went to the restaurant to buy some food and a few jars of wine.
Sure enough, there was no obstacle to going to the prison this time, following the jailer, and walked to the innermost cell of the prison, which was dark and damp, dirty and smelly, thinking that Yang Changfa had stayed in such an environment for more than a day, Xiao Yue's tears flowed.
When he arrived at the door of Yang Changfa's cell, Xiao Yue, who was far away, saw him leaning against the wall, staring blankly ahead. Xiao Yue walked a few steps briskly, "Changfa, Changfa." ”
Yang Changfa has maintained his current posture since he entered the prison, he was anxious and worried, thinking of his daughter-in-law and feeling a little distressed, the whole person was as uncomfortable as burning. Suddenly hearing his daughter-in-law's shout, he thought he was hallucinating.
The jailer opened the door of the cell, Xiao Yue thanked him and handed over the wine he bought, and the jailer took it and left.
Xiao Yue walked up to Yang Changfa and saw that he was stunned, and stretched out her hand to pat him.
Yang Changfa reacted, quickly stood up and said, "Daughter-in-law? How did you end up here. ”
Xiao Yue's tears kept flowing, "I'm coming to see you, it was Shen Junling who helped me, don't worry, I will definitely save you." After speaking, he hurriedly put the food he brought on the broken table in the cell, "Changfa, you eat something." ”
Yang Changfa first nodded in response to his daughter-in-law, then turned to Shen Junling and said, "Thank you Shen Gongzi." ”
Shen Junling waved his hand, "It's nothing, speaking of which, you are also affected by me." ”
Yang Changfa didn't understand the meaning of Shen Junling's words, and looked at him and just wanted to ask.
Xiao Yue hurriedly came over and said, "Changfa, uncle and father are also worried about you. After speaking, he glanced at Shen Junling.
Yang Changfa said to Daddy Xiao and Uncle Yang: "Uncle, Dad, I make you worried. ”
The two waved their hands, and they were relieved to see that Yang Changfa was not tortured in prison.
Xiao Yue pulled Yang Changfa to the table and handed him the chopsticks, "Hurry up and eat!" ”
Yang Chang made an "um" sound and began to eat. The food couldn't taste at all when it was delivered to his mouth, so in order to reassure his daughter-in-law, he kept eating hard.
Xiao Yue kept staring at Yang Changfa eating, he put down the chopsticks and Xiao Yue hurriedly handed over the water.
Shen Junling looked at the relationship between the husband and wife, and a touch of envy flashed in the depths of his eyes, such feelings were real and pure. Throwing away the fan in his hand, "It's okay, you don't have to worry." Tomorrow there will be a difference in the court. ”
Xiao Yue nodded with Yang Changfa.
The next day was the day of the ascension, Xiao Yue got up early in the morning, and when Shen Junling sent someone to call her, several people went to the county government together. Shen Junling was followed by a gray-bearded man, who should be the work of the Criminal Department.
When he came to the county office, there were already a lot of people surrounding the door of the public hall, and Shen Junling walked in with a big grin and sat down on the stool on the side of the public hall. Xiao Yue was anxious and kept looking around.
Shen Junling glanced at him, "It's still early, hurry up and sit down!" ”
Xiao Yue had to restrain her mind and sat down on the stool next to her, and Uncle Yang and Father Xiao sat down.
After waiting for a long time and not seeing the person of the county master, Shen Junling's eyes sank, the imperial court stipulates that the court is generally promoted at the beginning of the hour, and half an hour has passed at this time, and the person who has not seen the county master, it can be seen that the emperor is far away, and the county master has forgotten what his surname is in this world.
At the end of the day, the county magistrate finally appeared, his face was confused and he didn't wake up, his fat body was about to tear his clothes, and he slowly walked to the court and sat down.
The master shouted "ascend to the hall", and the officials shouted "mighty" in unison, and the whole public hall immediately had a solemn feeling, but it was just necessary to ignore the county master who yawned in the public court.
Yang Changfu stood behind the county magistrate and shouted to the court, "Take Thursday's family and prisoner Yang Changfa." Only then did Xiao Yue know that the person who died was called Thursday.
An elderly couple and a middle-aged woman came up, it should be Thursday's father and wife, and several people knelt down, "Knock on the county official." ”
The county magistrate opened his eyes vigorously, "If there is any grievance, tell me quickly." ”
Thursday's daughter-in-law cried profusely, "My lord, we want to sue Yang Changfa of Linshui Village, the sauce made by his family killed my father-in-law, please ask Lord Qingtian to make the decision for us." ”
At this time, the officials also took Yang Changfa to the court, and Thursday's father and mother rushed to him excitedly when they saw Yang Changfa and stretched out their hands to beat him.
"You murderer, you killed my son. You will not die well, my poor son. Thursday's mother screamed and pounded her chest.
Xiao Yue hurriedly stood up and ran to Yang Changfa, "What are you doing, the case has not yet been tried, who knows if it has anything to do with our family?" ”
Thursday's wife looked up at Xiao Yue and said, "Why doesn't it matter?" My father-in-law just ate the sauce before he died. ”
Xiao Yue said: "It's useless to say anything now, let's wait until the adults finish the case!" ”
Several officials came over to separate Thursday's father and wife from him, Yang Changfa squeezed Xiao Yue's hand, walked to the middle of the court and knelt down, and Xiao Yue also sat back on the stool.
Only then did the county magistrate find that there were a few people sitting on the side of the court, and his face sank, "Who are you?" Why do you sit in court? ”
Shen Junling took out a jade pendant from his arms and glanced at the little guy next to him, who nodded his head to show understanding, took the jade pendant and handed it to the county master.
The county magistrate took the jade pendant, his face changed instantly, and he said with trembling hands: "Ning ......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shen Junling, "In Xia Shen Junling, he is the owner of Fuxingju, that is, the owner of this sauce factory." ”
The county magistrate wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Yes, Shen Gongzi rest assured, the lower officials will definitely hear this case clearly." After speaking, he returned the jade pendant to the little guy, and the little guy took it and returned to Shen Junling's side.
Xiao Yue's eyes looked at Shen Junling, the county lord actually claimed to be a subordinate official, the identity of the jade pendant representative must be extraordinary, who is it?
Shen Junling noticed Xiao Yue's scrutinizing gaze, shook his head and said proudly, "Don't look at me like this, be careful that you are jealous." ”
Xiao Yue suddenly choked, glared at him and retracted her gaze.
Yang Changfu saw the reaction of the county magistrate, and he was even more sure that what he did was right, and he really tried out the identity of the owner of Fuxingju.
The county magistrate finally straightened his body, and a serious look appeared on his face, and he patted the shocked wood and said: "Boldly Diao Min, dare to sue indiscriminately, who doesn't know that things in Fuxingju can't have problems." ”
Xiao Yue was dumbfounded, this county master is really a straw bag, how did he become an official? Shen Junling seemed to have expected it a long time ago, keeping a smile on his face and shaking the fan in his hand lightly, as if everything that happened had nothing to do with him.
