Wujiang County, located in Songling Town, which is more than ten miles west of Tongli Town, is about a little north of the east of Wujiang Park in later generations.

The city area is not big, the circumference of the city wall is only three miles and fifty steps, almost more than 200,000 square meters, the permanent population of the county is more than 20,000 people, the west is Taihu Lake, the east of the city is the canal, and the Wusong River leads to the sea, the products are abundant, the transportation is convenient, so the city is very prosperous.

However, the current county seat was rebuilt only a hundred years ago, and the previous one was completely destroyed in the war.

In the second year of the Ming Revolution, Jin Wushu, also known as Zong Bi, defeated the Song army in Hezhou, crossed the Yangtze River, and directly killed the city of Hangzhou.

Fortunately, there are heavy troops in Hangzhou to hold on, so that the lone army can not go deep into the Jin Wushu, so he can only retreat, and on the way back, he plundered in the south of the Yangtze River, and Wujiang is on his withdrawal route, if it is not for Chen Sigong's heavy damage in Taihu Lake, I am afraid that it will wreak havoc in more places.

After the war, when Chen Sigong returned to Wujiang County, it was full of devastation and ruins, with only three houses left in the city, countless corpses in the city, all the wells were blocked by corpses, and only a waste pavilion was found under a waste pavilion with little drinking water.

When the swallows came, they could not find a house where they could build their nests, so they had to fly to the sails of the naval warships with mud on their feet to make their nests.

Those in later generations who questioned the resistance to Jin and Yuan, saying that Yue Fei and others were not national heroes, they were either stupid or bad, and they should really be thrown into such a human purgatory to have a good experience.

Zhao Mengqi's boat entered the county seat from the water gate, and Geng Zhi, who was waiting there, jumped on the boat.

"How's it going?"

"Back to Ah Lang, I waited for it, and then went directly to Wu Lou, I didn't expect that the birds were still sleeping, one of them fell, all of them were arrested by us, after they were woken up, they were very arrogant, not only mouthed wild words, but also punched and kicked and resisted, so I gave a little lesson......"

Speaking of this, Geng Zhi's face was a little sneering, obviously his words were not true.

Zhao Mengqi couldn't help but glance him up and down, good guy, it's really black who is close to ink, you are an honest child with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and you have learned to play with flowers.

Finding that the Lord was looking at himself, Geng Zhi was very embarrassed, and hurriedly looked at his nose and nose and heart to calm his mind.

"Then the people from the county government came, and asked me to wait for the people to be released, so there was a bit of conflict, but those officials were really waste, we didn't spend any punches, more than 20 people were lying down, and finally the forbidden army and archers in the city came, and Hou Ganban showed the waist card of the Imperial City Division, but Hou Ganban said that it was not appropriate to make too much trouble with the local government, and now he brought everyone to the county office, and the victims and witnesses involved in the case were also brought, and I wanted to wait for Your Highness to come and then deal with it, but Liu Zhizhou suddenly came out and said that this was a local case, It should be tried by Wujiang County, and this meeting should be in court. ”

Liu Xiuren? Shouldn't this guy be busy wiping his ass clean? What does it mean to have a foot in this case?

Zhao Mengqi frowned, thought carefully for a while, and guessed that this old guy might be planning to create some obstacles for himself in order to drag his sight.

Oh, it's easy to calculate, but it's okay, just plan to play with him, and it will take three or four days for the army to be in place on his side.

Their boats stopped along the river in the city near the county government and on the stone bank.

At this time, although the rain was a little lighter, it was still inconvenient to travel, and then thought that Gu Xixi first took poison and then jumped off the building, plus he was beaten and ravaged before, this corpse must be miserable, so Zhao Mengqi persuaded Wanwan, "You stay on the boat, just wait for me to deal with it......"

"No, I want to see Sister Gu, and I want to see that group of brutes being brought to justice!" Wanwan's eyes are very stubborn.

"I'm going too!" Qian Duo's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth, "I'm going to chop off the rotten goods of those pickled bird thieves and feed them to the dogs, and then cut them with a thousand knives, and finally bury their cheap bones in the road, so that thousands of people will trample on them, and they will never be able to turn over!" ”

Zhao Mengqi inexplicably felt cold under his crotch, why is this girl so angry?

Looking at Zhao Yun and Zhao Hui again, the two of them also looked sad and angry, obviously after knowing this, they had empathy and hated Xu Tianyi and others.

"Okay." Zhao Mengqi shrugged, these little ladies belonged to his force majeure, so he would no longer try to persuade in vain.

The group got off the boat and braved the rain to come to the county office, where many people gathered outside the door, all talking about the case that was being heard.

"It's really a sin, Miss Gu's fairy-like person, in her prime, it's a pity that it's gone!"

"I heard that she committed suicide, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back those few people in the field......"

"But she committed suicide because she was raped, why can't she be held accountable?"

"Brother's words are wrong, she is a Fengyue woman, how can she say rape, not to mention, I heard that Xu Gongzi is from a famous family, and his father and ancestors are all officials in the court, this little thing will definitely not help them, and they will beat a few boards and admonish them."

"Why isn't it rape? If this doesn't count, wouldn't everyone be able to do nonsense to those women without giving money!? What's more, Gu Niangzi has never sold her art! ”

"This matter, it depends on whether our bones in Xinzhi County are hard or not, and whether we are willing to seek justice for a few lowly women."

"Hehe, I heard that this Kochi County is slippery, and it is a little inflammatory, and most of them will not offend these big yamen for a few inconsequential women."

"I'm afraid this benevolent brother is right, so long after this happened, not only did the county government not take people, but they didn't even ask those few people in the office, but the Imperial City Division who was passing by arrested people."

"Imperial Division? They care about this too? I don't think I'll be involved in anything else, then it's hard to say the result, and it's interesting to see ......."

Zhao Mengqi listened for a while, then asked Wu Qiong and the others to step forward to open the way, and took a few little ladies to the front of the book building as the main gate of the county government.

The official still wanted to stop him, but after seeing the uprightness in the team, he was so frightened that he shrank aside and didn't dare to move.

Wujiang County Ya due to the previous destruction of the fire, and in ancient times there has always been a tradition of officials not repairing the office, after the reconstruction has been very small and simple, just now this gatehouse and the county hall, are rebuilt more than 30 years ago, it is quite passable, but the subordinate officials still rent private houses outside the government as a public office, and there is a pool of funds to build a office elsewhere, so the 'county lieutenant hall', 'county hall', 'main book hall' are scattered in other places in the county.

Zhao Mengqi walked through the Yongdao and came to the county hall, and when he saw the plaque that read, 'No Litigation Hall', he felt a little awkward.

The main function of this lobby is to accept lawsuits, hear cases, and decide cases, and take the name 'no lawsuit', and I don't know if it's a beautiful vision or simply inaction.

Shaking his head and walking into the lobby, he saw that there were still a lot of people, Gao Jia sat under the hanging plaque of the mirror, and Liu Xiuren sat on the left side of the head of the hall with a big sword and a golden horse, with a posture of supervising and questioning the case.

On both sides of the hall are two rows of officials holding water and fire sticks, at the end of the hall are Xu Tianyi's entourage, in the middle are Wu Lou related personnel, and on the other side are Hou Tao and others.

"How's it going?" Zhao Mengqi asked softly.

"The dead duck has a hard mouth and has always refused to admit his guilt, that Xu Tianyi has always said that he drank too much, fell asleep, and didn't know anything, and several other guys also said that he was just a prostitute, not raped. This Kochi County's attitude seems to be very perfunctory, always asking some inconsequential things, the four women who were also raped and the people of Wu Lou, since they were handed over to the county government, changed their words, saying that they were voluntary......"

"Hehe, then let me teach them how to behave." Zhao Mengqi laughed, then turned his head and ordered Wanwan and a few people, "Just watch from the sidelines, Wu Qiong, protect them." ”

After that, Geng Zhi opened a passage from the crowd for him, and then he walked to the court.

Ever since the trial began, Kochi Prefecture has felt like he was sitting on a fire, in a dilemma, and he didn't know how to protect himself.

Originally, Wu Lou's head card Gu Xixi's death was also a big deal, but when he knew that the party was Xu Tianyi and a few people, he planned to turn the big thing into a small thing and a small matter, but he didn't expect that the subordinate who met the noble man yesterday participated in and arrested the person, so that he had to face up to the case.

Although he didn't know the specific identity of the nobleman, he couldn't afford to provoke him anyway, so he changed his mind and planned to do what the nobleman wanted.

Who knew that the top boss Liu Zhizhou came out again, asking him to be impartial and businesslike, which was a bit dumbfounded.

How does this work? The victim and the witness have all changed their words, and the defendant either has a shadow official or has a meritorious name to protect his body, and he cannot be tortured, how can he be tried?

I can't let it go, and I can't be strict, and when I suddenly saw Zhao Mengqi appear in the court, I couldn't help but be stunned and at a loss.

Zhao Mengqi walked out of the crowd and saw a corpse covered with a white cloth in the hall, and there were four brightly dressed women kneeling next to him, but Xu Tianyi and the six people who should be the defendants stood there with a big thorn, but his nose and face were swollen, and his clothes were tattered.

But even so, it didn't affect Xu Tianyi's momentum, and he was very impatient when he saw that Kochi County didn't ask questions for a long time.

"Gao Xianzun, how long will this last? These sluts have confirmed that I am asleep, no matter what happened, it has nothing to do with me, should I be judged innocent? Also, my friends also spent money, so what's the crime? Hurry up, Xu is not feeling well, you must hurry up and find Lang Zhong to see, otherwise there is something wrong with you, you are a small county, can you afford it? ”

His friends also shouted, "That's right, we don't care, if Xu Gongzi has something, Li Xiang and Xu Shilang will definitely not give up......"

"Don't grind, close the case quickly, let's wait to go back to Wu Mansion to continue to be happy."

"It's just a slut, if she dies, she will die, for the sake of her serving me, give her ten times to burn and bury money, it's benevolent and righteous."

"A lowly person is born to serve people, how can there be any chastity at all, let alone commit suicide for this, I see, it must be yesterday that my brothers made her experience the supreme happiness of being a woman, so she has no regrets in this life, and wants to be reincarnated and born in a good place, so that she can be accepted home by us and enjoy happiness forever."

"Zhengtang, you should know about the late life, how can the late life do something against the law, my Sun family is also a well-known good family in Wujiang, you can't let the wicked people tarnish the reputation of my Sun family."

Seeing these six people shouting like this, Zhao Mengqi couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, "Yo, Xu Gongzi is so majestic, Zhixian is just a small one in your eyes, I don't know how many grades your official residence has!?" ”
