Chen Tingjing and Fu Shan were chanting poems and painting, Liu Jing bumped in, saw the master, and hurriedly told the matter of Li Jiazhuang. Chen Tingjing's face changed greatly when he heard this, but he didn't expect that the big household co-ordination that seemed to be so good was a means for the inferior gentry to harm the people! The fold on him, if the emperor approves it, it will harm the people in the world! Chen Tingjing was remorseful, but he didn't know what to do. If you ask the emperor not to approve the overall planning method of the big family, you will inevitably be punished. When the emperor comes, he will blame him for being sloppy and acting like a king; Second, the imperial court is short of money and food, and the emperor knows that this method is inappropriate, and he will follow it. Chen Tingjing paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, pondered again and again, and said: "I have to write an excerpt overnight, asking the emperor not to approve the method of co-ordination of that big household." ”

Liu Jing was quite worried and asked, "Master, is this possible?" ”

Chen Ting sighed: "I know you are worried that I will be convicted. I am punished for a small matter, but the people of the world suffer a lot. ”

Fu Shan comforted: "Lord Chen doesn't have to blame himself, your wish is good." The tricks made by the traitors below, you Jingguan are the most easily fooled! ”

Chen Tingjing suddenly found that Ma Ming was missing, and hurriedly asked, "Where is Ma Ming?" ”

Liu Jing heard that Ma Ming hadn't come back yet, and he was also anxious, so he told them how they fought and how Ma Ming pretended to be Huazi. Everyone laughed. Chen Tingjing couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "Why do you two play like children?" ”

Liu Jingdao: "Master, you don't know, there are few pedestrians on Yangqu Street, and the most strange thing is that there is no flower child." I think there is nothing less in this county, only the one called Hanako is indispensable. If it's not called Hanako, there must be an article. ”

Chen Tingjing said: "It seems that the little demon in Yangqu County Yamiao is windy, Ma Ming won't have an accident, right?" He didn't say how to act if he pretended to be Hanako? ”

Liu Jing said: "He said that he would go directly to the county government to ask for food and see how Dai Mengxiong would deal with it." ”

Zhen'er said, "I'm really afraid that something will happen." Dai Mengxiong has seen him, recognized it, don't harm him? ”

Da Shun snorted and said, "I don't believe that he really ate the gall of a leopard, and dared to harm the people of Qincha!" ”

It was at this time that someone came in to report that Dai Mengxiong from Yangquzhi County was here. Liu Jing couldn't help but pick up the knife on the table, Chen Tingjing shook his hand, and whispered, "Let's see what he says." ”

Dai Mengxiong came to the door, cried and mourned, knelt on the ground, and said, "Please forgive Lord Qincha!" ”

Chen Tingjing asked, "What are you guilty of?" ”

Dai Mengxiong said: "There is the crime of negligence in his duties! My subordinate Xiang Qi has been deceiving me. He secretly colluded with Li Jiasheng and other inferior gentry and did a lot of hurtful things. What kind of donation to build the Dragon Pavilion and the co-ordination of large households are all ghost tricks made out by Xiang Qi to fool the top! In fact, it is taking the opportunity to plunder the people! ”

Chen Tingjing said: "The imperial court received a copy of the donation to build the Dragon Pavilion, but you asked the governor of Shanxi to replay it!" ”

Dai Mengxiong kowtowed and said: "The crime of despicable duty deserves death!" After the humiliation was played, I found out that there was another article in it. However, he was afraid of losing his black yarn hat, so he had to push the boat down the river, and while he wanted to build the Dragon Pavilion in a real way, he set out to investigate Xiang Qi. Before Lord Qincha came to Yangqu, Xiang Qi had been locked up. ”

Chen Tingjing said: "You promised to give me the donation account of Jianlong Pavilion within three days, it turned out that you were begging me!" ”

Dai Mengxiong said: "There is suffering in the humble position, and I hope that Lord Qin will forgive his sins!" There is also the overall planning method of large households, as long as the large households are controlled and do not take the opportunity to extort, it may not be a good thing. I want to do what I planned, and simply make the bad things that Xiang Qi exploited the people into good things to make up for the sin of negligence. ”

Chen Tingjing asked again: "Has there ever been a person named Huazi who went to the county government to ask for food today?" ”

Dai Mengxiong said: "I heard from Master Yang Naiwen, there was indeed a person who called Huazi to the county government to make trouble and locked him up. ”

Liu Jing asked: "This is strange, it is also illegal to ask Hanako to ask for food?" ”

Dai Mengxiong said: "Speaking of this, I was about to report it, and when I heard that the Qin mission was coming, Xiang Qi was afraid that he would show his feet and arrest all the people in the city called Huazi without telling me." I also just learned about this, and I have ordered to go down and release Hanako overnight. Why did Kincha-sama ask about Hanako? ”

Chen Tingjing smiled and didn't answer, only said: "Dai Zhixian is really capable, today's business is finished today, and it will never be overnight!" ”

Dai Mengxiong kowtowed and said: "How dare you be praised like this!" Wan Wang's Lord Qincha forgives his sins, and tomorrow he asks Lord Qincha and his humble position to judge Xiang Qi and Li Jiasheng together. ”

Chen Tingjing said: "Okay, I promise you. You go back first. ”

Dai Mengxiong left, and Chen Tingjing said: "This time Ma Mingke suffered. In the middle of the night, counting nine cold days, the city gate is closed, where is he going? ”

Liu Jing felt embarrassed, as if he had hurt Ma Ming, and said: "Alas, it's just that he is unlucky, and he lost his fist, otherwise I will pretend to be Huazi." ”

Chen Tingjing said: "Yangqu's ghost tricks, whether the crime is Dai Mengxiong or Xiang Qi, I can't say now." ”

Zhen'er said: "I think it must be Dai Mengxiong's ghost!" ”

Chen Tingjing said: "I also feel that it should be Dai Mengxiong's crime, but the case must be substantiated!" He dared to hand over Xiang Qi and Li Jiasheng to me for trial, why? ”

Liu Jingdao: "Unless he colludes with Li Jiasheng and plants a false accusation on Xiang Qi's head." ”

Chen Tingjing said: "Li Jiasheng killed someone, anyway, it is already a capital crime, and he can't bear it for Dai Mengxiong." I don't think it's a simple case. It's almost dawn, you all rest, and I'll do it myself. ”

Liu Jing, Dashun and others retreated, but Chen Tingjing had to hurry up and write an excerpt to the emperor. Zhen'er looked distressed, and knew that persuasion was useless, so she sat next to her. It's been the fourth watch since the excerpt was written, and Zhen'er waited for Chen Tingjing to take a nap. As soon as the morning dawned, Chen Tingjing hurriedly got up for breakfast and went down the mountain to the county office.

Chen Tingjing got off the sedan chair in front of the county office, and Dai Mengxiong was already waiting respectfully. Yang Naiwen stood beside him with his head bowed, very deferential. Dai Kun was still dressed as a sedan chair man and stood far away. Entering the lobby, Chen Tingjing and Dai Mengxiong humbly gave in again and again, and both sat down in the hall. The officials were already lined up on both sides of the hall, just waiting to shout.

Dai Mengxiong asked, "Lord Qincha, shall we start?" ”

Chen Tingjing nodded and said, "Let's start." ”

Dai Mengxiong shouted loudly: "Take Yangqu County to Qi!" ”

shouted and drank, but no one answered for a long time. Dai Mengxiong shouted again to lead people, but there was still no movement. Dai Mengxiong scolded Yang Naiwen sharply and told him to go down and have a look. After a long time, Yang Naiwen hurriedly ran over and replied: "Go back to Qincha, go back to Master Dai, the prison warden said that Xiang Qi ran away last night!" Master Dai ordered to let go of Huazi, but he never thought that Xiang Qi and Li Jiasheng would also escape in Huazi! He also said that Li Jiasheng had been killed and was lying on the street. Yongshu guessed that this must be Xiang Qi's murder. ”

Chen Tingjing suddenly became anxious. He thought about it last night, and imagined all kinds of situations, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen. Chen Tingjing expected that the ghost must be from Dai Mengxiong, otherwise how could there be such a coincidental thing in the world? Of the two people who said they were going to be tried, one is dead and the other is gone.

Dai Mengxiong saw Chen Tingjing's gloomy face, so he looked guilty and said, "Lord Qincha, I didn't know that things would turn out like this!" The case will not be tried. ”

Chen Tingjing pondered for a moment and said slowly: "I think this case has to be continued." ”

Dai Mengxiong nodded hurriedly and said, "Of course!" Of course! But...... Who will be judged? ”

Chen Tingjing suddenly shouted: "Dai Mengxiong of Quzhi County, Daiyang!" ”

Dai Mengxiong was suddenly stupid, his face first turned red, and then turned white. Liu Jing pressed the knife in one hand and strode forward to take someone. Dai Mengxiong stood up suddenly, and roared: "Lord Qincha, I am an official of the imperial court, and I am not something you can judge casually!" I Dai Mengxiong is upright, his sleeves are clean, the county is governed by the law, the herdsmen are well-organized, and the money and grain are handed over every year, and Shanxi can't find a second one! ”

Chen Tingjing didn't speak loudly, and said: "The people of Yangqu only know Master Dai, but they don't know Xiang County, don't think about planting a blame on his head!" Although Li Jiasheng is dead and has no proof, he has already confessed to Liu Jingyi one by one. ”

Dai Mengxiong roared: "Li Jiasheng is dead, you don't want to take the dead and make the living!" ”

Chen Tingjing slapped the table and said, "Liu Jing, take him down first!" ”

Liu Jing took Dai Mengxiong and pushed him to the bottom of the hall and knelt down. Dai Kun was standing outside with his head bowed, but when he heard that his father was captured, his waist, which had been arched, suddenly stood up, and he rushed into the lobby quickly, shouting and scolding to rob someone. saw a person suddenly flash in outside, and grabbed Dai Kun. This person was Ma Ming, dressed in tatters, and Xiang Qi followed behind with a limp.

Xiang Qi's body was covered with blood, and he stepped forward to meet Chen Tingjing. It turned out that Dai Mengxiong ordered Huazi to be released last night, in order to kill people and get by. He calculated that Li Jiasheng would take advantage of the chaos to escape, and Xiang Qi would definitely chase after him, so he secretly told Dai Kun and Yang Naiwen to wait outside, and just wait for them to pass by, and then cut them. Xiang Qi really hit the plan, and when he saw Li Jiasheng fleeing, he immediately chased him out. Ma Ming also chased after him, but saw that Xiang Qi and Li Jiasheng had fallen to the ground. Li Jiasheng screamed miserably, and Xiang Qi only pressed his thigh tightly. Dai and Yang saw someone coming in the distance and hurriedly ran away. Who knew that Yang Naiwen was a scholar after all, he was weak, and he didn't cut the important place, and Xiang Qi actually picked up a life. Li Jiasheng is Dai Kun's hand, and he choked when he called. Last night, Dai Mengxiong came down from Wufeng, and he had already guessed that the Huazi who made trouble in the county government must be Ma Ming, and ordered Dai Kun and Yang Naiwen to look for him all over the city, and he was bound to end him. But he found that Xiang Qi was not killed, and he was even more anxious. Last night, dogs barked all night in Yangqu City, and the people only knew that the prisoners in the prison had escaped, and the county government was searching from house to house. Fortunately, the streets and alleys of Yangqu were all pretended to be in Xiang Qi's belly, and he led Ma Ming to sneak back to the county government over the wall, and found an empty house to hide, so as to escape the catastrophe. At dawn, they happened to hear someone outside saying that Lord Qincha was coming to try the case, and the two of them ran to the lobby at the hour.
