Chapter 273: Officialdom Darkness

Shen Xihe asked Pearl and Ziyu to get some food for the little beggar, prepared some old clothes and old things from the county lord's mansion, as well as rice grain and firewood, and dressed up as a maidservant to go to the Lonely Garden.

And in front of her, she can't sit idly by, and when it comes to the Lonely Garden, these innocent children will be wiped out if they are not careful. She can't go with much fanfare yet, too many people are staring at her.

Especially after Emperor Youning hinted that he would marry her into the East Palace, there were more people watching her every move. If she had gone to the Garden of Solitude herself, anyone would have noticed something unusual.

Fortunately, the county lord's mansion Su Ri often helped the Lonely Garden and the Sadness Courtyard, Shen Xi and himself went to the Lonely Garden, and at the same time sent another group of people to the Sadness Garden, and also brought a lot of food and clothing.

The lonely garden looks cold and bleak, and there are even some peculiar smells in the cold wind, which are sour and smelly. It's okay for Pearl and others, but it's a little unbearable for Shen Xihe, who has a keen sense of smell, and he was afraid that his behavior of covering his mouth and nose would hurt the child's heart, so he had to endure it.

When she saw Qi Pei, the unpleasant smell was really disgusting.

"You disperse, I will come to see you on the order of the county lord." The pearl immediately dispersed the crowd.

To make Shen Xihe more comfortable, Shen Xihe pretended to cough and covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves, the cool aroma of the cuffs made her dizzy disappear, and Pearl looked at Qi Pei, that is, the little boy who handed the letter to Shen Xihe, who was only thirteen years old.

The kneecaps of his legs were dug up, festering and frosty, the flesh was blurred, and there was yellow liquid flowing, and he was still hot, and the whole person was frozen in a daze.

Pearl and Pulsatilla actually saw a lot of flesh and blood blurred injuries, but Qi Pei's injury still made her gasp, it was indeed maggots, she wanted to clean Qi Pei's wounds, fortunately, there was Ah Xi there, the two of them helped each other, but there was no delay.

After an hour to pack it up, Shen Xihe walked around the Lonely Garden to get a general idea of the situation here.

At the same time, the Yang Mansion of the Criminal Department, the steward hurriedly ran in, the old lady who closed her eyes and recuperated opened her eyes, waved the person away, and the steward whispered: "Old lady, I found it, in the Lonely Garden."

"Don't get the people back yet." The old lady immediately ordered.

"It's not that villains don't arrest people, it's that the county lord of Zhaoning sent someone to do good deeds in the Lonely Garden today." The steward lowered his head, a little worried and anxious, and said, "I also sent a personal maid to give a consultation." ”

"How could the county lord of Zhaoning send someone to the Solitary Garden suddenly? Do you also go out of your way to see a doctor? The old lady's face was a little flustered.

"It should be a coincidence, the county lord sent the king of the northwest out of the city today, and happened to meet a beggar who fainted in front of the carriage." The steward told his conjecture, "I took it back to the house, and released it again, I am afraid that because of this, I thought of the Lonely Garden and the Sad Field Garden, so I immediately asked the people in the house to send some food to the two places." After the county lord went to Beijing, he often sent people to send old objects that could not be used in the county lord's mansion in the past. ”

Old Madam Yang froze: "In this case, I will wait for them to leave before we do it." ”

"The villain heard that they had been there for an hour, and he was worried that the maid sent by the county lord had cured Qi Pei, and Qi Pei knew that she had come out of the county lord's mansion and said something that should not have been said to harm Erlangjun." After the steward finished speaking worriedly, he suggested, "Now that the matter is over, the old lady is only afraid to tell the eldest master to get an idea. ”

"You bunch of shit." Old Madam Yang's face was gloomy, "The person who broke his legs also let him run to Kyoto and blend into the imperial city!" ”

The steward was scolded and bowed his head and remained silent.

Old Madam Yang turned a string of gold beads in her hand: "You go and find the eldest master back, and then send some people to watch the Lonely Garden closely, it's really not possible...... set fire to the courtyard, and then sent someone to sneak in and kill Qi Pei! ”

Monk Shen Xi didn't know that danger was coming, she heard that Qi Pei had woken up, so she returned to the house, the house was cleaned by pearls, and an incense burner was placed, Shen Xihe went in again, so she didn't feel dizzy.

"County ......" Qi Pei obviously knew Shen Xihe's identity, and he was very excited, and wanted to struggle to sit up.

"Don't be polite, you're too injured, to make a long story short, don't be strong." Shen Xihe sat down on the chair that Pearl had brought in.

"County Lord......" Qi Pei's tears couldn't help but flow, "Please ask the county lord to be the master of more than 40 people in my Qi family, Hebei Provincial officials protect each other, bend into tricks, and reverse black and white ......"

Qi Pei was a thirteen-year-old boy, and he had accumulated countless grievances and grief, which poured out at once, and in the midst of his crying and denunciation, Shen Xihe understood the whole story.

The county order of Lixian County is Yang Xulin, the eldest son of Yang Zhongxing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, who is the two Jinshi of Youning in the thirteenth year, and was assigned to Lixian County as the county commander in the sixteenth year.

In the past three years, his political achievements in Lixian County are not outstanding but they are not useless, and seeing that his three-year term is over, he is facing a performance appraisal promotion. There was a theft case in the wealthy Qi family in Lixian County, and a group of thieves broke into the Qi family at night to steal.

killed a guard of the Qi family, stole some gold and silver from Qi Jun's wife's bedroom, and was then repelled by the Qi family's guard and ran away.

Qi Pei's brother Qi Jun went to report the case early the next morning, and after sending someone to investigate, he found that there were too few clues to solve the case, and this dynasty has a rule that the theft case must be solved within the specified time, and if it is overdue, the parents will also be responsible.

At this time, Yang Xulin didn't want to have such a fork, so he insisted that Qi Jun found out that the nursing home had an affair with his wife, so he killed the nursing home and forged a theft case to cover up his murder.

The nursing home is a slave of the Qi family, and it is not a big deal to kill it, especially if there is also the crime of the hostess of fornication, Yang Xulin did not accept it, Qi Jun was very angry when he heard it, and mistakenly thought that he was not in place, so he took a few hundred gold to bribe Yang Xulin.

How did he know that Yang Xulin had returned all the money, Qi Jun had nowhere to sue for this matter, and he didn't suffer any big losses, so Qi Jun thought about giving up.

But after Qi Jun's opponent learned about this incident from the Yamen, he used this to humiliate Qi Jun and hyped up his wife's fornication with the nursing home, which made everyone know, and Qi Jun's wife committed suicide due to humiliation.

Qi Jun couldn't stop it, grief-stricken, just at this time, the yamen caught a group of thieves, this gang of thieves recognized that they were the people who went to the Qi family to steal that night, and the Qi family nursing home was also killed by them.

Qi Jun lost his wife, and he wanted the yamen to give justice, so he reported this to Shanggu County, Dingzhou, but he didn't know that the county guard of Shanggu County was a disciple of Yang Xulin's father, Yang Zhongxing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and it was for this reason that Yang Xulin was sent to Lixian.
