"Xianggong, you are here, this little concubine learned that her brother had brought you a lot of trouble, and she was so frightened that she committed suicide, but she was just a bought minion, and if she is gone, she will be gone."

A woman's voice appeared, with a distinctly wheezing sickness in her timbre, and even then, the words that came out were chilling.

Wang Yuanwai's spirits perked, this is the voice of his wife, you must know that his wife's maiden family is also an official family, although she was born as a concubine, but it is enough to match his identity as an outsider.

"The lady is here, I'm ...... Hey, this is a concubine who was bought for two hundred taels, and a rope was lost, this, this ...... Ay. ”

The king was blessed to his heart, and he suddenly remembered that the slave master he bought could be beaten, killed, or sold, and if he died, he would die, and he would have nothing to say.

"No, this head catcher, this is the deed of sale of this concubine, you can see it clearly." A little girl next to the daughter-in-law of the staff held a deed of sale, shook it in front of the head catcher, and said proudly.

Headcatcher: "......" is ruthless.

"Come, bring the dead back to the yamen." The headcatcher turned away fiercely, and shouted loudly.

He walked up to his wife, whispered a few words in her ear, and then left with the housekeeper to follow the headcatcher.

Some people beat drums to cry out grievances, the hall servants beat the hall drums three times, and the officials stood on both sides, shouting in unison "ascend to the hall".

Wearing an official uniform and a black gauze hat, the county man walked in from the east gate of the Nuan Pavilion and walked in with official steps, sitting on a high platform, and the words "Mirror Hanging" on the top of his head were magnificent, and this momentum was enough to scare off most of the ordinary people.

"Who's beating the drum?" The county asked loudly.

Jixiang and the master walked up together, and Jixiang knelt down with a "plop", but the master didn't have to kneel because of his talent and fame, but just bowed to the county lord in the high hall.

This scene deeply hurt Jixiang's eyes, and he suddenly understood why his father wanted to go to private school by himself, if he followed his father well today, how could he make so many messy things.

Ji Xiang looked behind him regretfully, and sure enough, he saw his father standing outside the lobby, his face was full of worry and nervousness, and the eldest brother on the side was also frowning, constantly looking in.

The master walked down, took the paper in Jixiang's hand, and handed it to the county master, who looked at the paper and began to pretend to open the court and decide the case.

When the head catcher heard the county master shouting to take the thief, he deliberately brought the grandfather in first, and the outsider didn't know what the head catcher was doing, so he glanced at the housekeeper.

The housekeeper hurriedly waved his hand, followed by several people, carrying a corpse wrapped in a white cloth into the lobby, and the county Cheng's brows furrowed slightly.

"Who's in the hall?" The county lord asked knowingly.

"My lord, the contemptible person is a native of Xiangzhang County, because the ancestors of the family have accumulated virtue, so they have won the title of a member of the family, and the contemptible Jing is from the Xue family." The staff outside the staff is polite and polite.

"Lookout"

The county magistrate frowned, how could he forget that the wife of the pig was from the Xue family, he was really frightened by the three-grade official seal, but he thought that the Xue family was just the county master's book.

Although the grade is the same, they are all nine-rank sesame officials, but in fact, he has more real power in this county, and the two are sworn opponents on the road to promotion, not to mention that the wife outside the staff is just a concubine who is not treated by the Xue family's mother.

Wang Yuanwai sat down, but he didn't hear the county master call to see the tea, he couldn't help muttering in his heart, and glanced at the housekeeper, the housekeeper pretended not to see it, this is the public court, how dare he speak privately.

Caught up quickly brought the bookstore guy and another thief, and also held the bookstore guy next to the corpse with ulterior motives, scaring the guy so much that he was about to break.

Catch quickly lifted the white cloth covering the corpse, revealing a miserable white face with a tongue rising out, and a clear slap mark on the face.

"My lord, the thirteenth concubine outside the king is here." Catch said loudly.

"Ah......h

The bookstore guy recognized this dead man at a glance, the sister who was a thirteen-room concubine for her grandfather, obviously a charming woman, how could she become like this.

"My lord, the thirteenth concubine outside the king's house was hanged on the beam of the house today, and according to the people in the palace, she committed suicide." Another catch quickly added it.

The county man nodded, looked at Wang Yuanwai and asked, "This person is your concubine, is it a noble concubine, a good concubine or a slave concubine?" ”

At this time, the staff was very grateful to his wife, when he bought this concubine, he really liked it in his heart, and wanted to abolish the deed of sale for him and give her the status of a good concubine.

But the wife stopped it, the slave concubine did not give birth, where can she be promoted to a good concubine, even if you want to be promoted, you have to wait for the slave concubine to give birth to a son, this is also for the sake of your future heirs.

You must know that even if a slave concubine climbs into the master's bed, she is still a slave, but a good concubine can go to the household, in case these thirteen concubines really become good concubines, today's death will definitely bring trouble to outsiders.

"My lord, this is a contemptible slave concubine, and there is a deed of sale as evidence."

After speaking, he took out the deed of sale of the woman given to him by his wife and handed it to the master, who glanced at it and handed it over to the county, the county glanced at it slightly, sighed, and counted him as good luck.

"Who are the two of you?"

The county magistrate was shocked and asked sharply.

"The villain is a guy in a bookstore, ...... is ...... This dead man...... 's brother. The bookstore guy trembled with fright, and was kicked in the head before stammering and kneeling.

"The villain is...... It's stealing, stealing...... Stealing this little brother's silver. The other person also said anxiously, pointing to auspiciousness with his hand.

"Where's the silver?"

The county magistrate asked.

The thief glanced at the headcatcher, and the silver hidden in the hat was all scavenged by the headcatcher, and even the silver ticket in the soles of his shoes did not escape.

The head catcher walked to the master's side, took out a hundred taels of silver ingots from his arms, and handed over more than a hundred taels of broken silver, and the master secretly rolled his eyes

"My lord, here are two hundred and eight taels of silver, and the silver reported by the auspicious little brother is two hundred and two taels and three coins." The master whispered.

The head catcher took out another piece of iron, and there were still traces of the master's blood on the knife edge of the iron piece, and presented the piece of iron: "My lord, this is also the physical evidence of the thief of the bookstore guy. ”

Very good, I actually used an iron piece, the county master stood up, looked at the four sticks on the desk, and decisively took out forty red-headed sticks and threw them in front of the two thieves.

As soon as the head catcher saw that it was a red head stick, he looked at the two thieves with eyes like looking at a dead man, and with a wave of his hand, the officials on both sides rushed up, tied the two people with hemp ropes, and directly waved the board.
