"Xiaguan Zhou Duchang, I have seen Lord Futai...... Thieves are rampant and frightened adults! ”

In the lobby of Yuanyang County, the county commander wiped the sweat gushing out of his forehead, and the county's general, county lieutenant, county officer, head catcher, and a few masters, stood respectfully under the hall, bowed their heads and said to Ma De, waiting for the expected storm! …… There is a thief who dares to show his sword at a governor, what if something happens? Even if Ma De is not the governor of their own province, this is definitely a first-class monstrous case! …… is so restless under the rule, their political achievements this year are over!

"It's okay...... These thieves are also knowledgeable, educated, wealthy, and courageous, and they have a good chat with the official, and I am not shocked! Don't worry about your county! Ma De looked at the "Sister Chen" and "Liu Touer" who were tied up there with a smile, and suddenly stretched out his hand, pointed at the "Liu Touer", and said to Zhou Qianchang: "Lord Zhou, bother to send someone who can beat people, beat that kid, this kid is too rude, and his words are too rude, and there is a moralization that hurts my Qing Dynasty......

"Huh? ……”

"You don't have to beat it too hard, as long as you don't change anything on the outside, and the inside is rotten into a ......lump of meat," Ma De added.

"Big, my lord......" Zhou Qianchang couldn't understand the Futai Lord in front of him, and didn't know how to reply.

"Dog officer, it's a hero, you just kill Lao Tzu with one sword, don't fucking abuse people!" "Liu Tou'er" shouted, struggling to break free from the rope, and only stopped after being beaten a few times by the officials who guarded him around him.

"Look at it, the language is rude, and the court officials are despised with a roaring court, Lord Zhou, I'm sorry for you......" Ma De gave up his seat in the lobby as soon as he bowed his hand to Zhou Duchang.

“…… Oh, come on, hit! Looking at the empty hall, how dare Zhou Qianchang sit on it? had to wave his hand fiercely in the hall and instruct the official to torture "Liu Touer"!

"Dog officer, you can't die well!" "Liu Tou'er" scolded, but he was immediately gagged and pressed to the ground, and then, the water and fire sticks of the officials beckoned down.

……

"Adults are a good trick to 'kill chickens and set an example for monkeys'!" After "Liu Touer" was beaten to death, Ma De asked Zhou Qianchang to bring "Sister Chen" to the front of the hall!

"You're welcome! Actually, you're pretty good! …… If it weren't for the fact that the official had sent the master to follow Yicheng to the county government for help in advance, if it weren't for the fact that the official still had some magic weapon in his hand to win by surprise, according to what you just said, the official might have lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot! You also have a great chance of being able to continue to get away with it! Ma De sighed and said, "But since you have such a good brain, why don't you follow the right path?" …… Don't you know that if you take this path, you will plant it one day? And ......"

"And what?" "Sister Chen" asked.

"And you're pretty good-looking, if you find an honest man to marry, you should be able to live well......" Ma De laughed. Sister Chen's face was originally smeared with thick powder, but after she was arrested, the female official washed her off, and as a result, she showed a white and pure, charming face, far younger than when she first appeared, that is, thirty-one or twelve years old.

"Thank you for your concern! Chen Guer has done a lot of evil and is willing to admit his guilt! "Sister Chen" smiled slightly, said with a slight blessing to Ma De.

“…… Did you confess? Ma De looked at Zhou Qianchang and felt that something was not right.

"Yes! Don't adults want Gu'er to confess? "Sister Chen", that is, Chen Guer, opened her mouth slightly, added her lips, and in the blink of her eyes, she actually brought out a trace of inexplicable fluctuations.

"Of course not! It's just that I thought you would make up words, but I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable about current affairs, and I was a little surprised! Ma De didn't see Chen Gu'er's expression, but smiled a little disappointed.

"Your Excellency has won a prize! Liu Degui didn't fall into such a miserable situation when Jackie Chan was the governor of Jiangsu, and now he is beaten by an adult's trick of 'killing chickens and monkeys'...... A cheap concubine is a weak woman, how dare she bear the water and fire sticks of adults? Chen Guer smiled.

"You're amazing! Even now, they still want to bite me back, torture me to extract confessions, and torture me into a trick! …… I'll tell you, I'll beat that Liu...... Liu Degui, isn't it? I hit him just because it didn't like him, especially if he dared to scold people and scold ...... Forget it, you don't understand it! Anyway, this kid just owes a beating, do you understand? He was beaten, and this has nothing to do with this case! Mader said.

"My lord, do you want the criminals to confess to the crime first, let the master make a record, and then let them draw the charge?" Listening to Ma De and Chen Guer's words between you and me, Zhou Qianchang couldn't help but say a word.

"Ah...... Yes! Should, should! Chen Guer, still don't you recruit the truth about the crime? With a shocking shot, Ma De said "majesticly".

"My lord, you should first ask her what her surname is, where she is from, and then ask the other ......" Xing Ming had been accompanying him in the hall, and when he heard Ma De ask about the case, he couldn't help but correct.

"That's right...... Chen Guer, where are you from? "Shoot again," said Mader.

"Lord Hui, the household registration of the concubine is in Nanjing, Jiangning Mansion!"

"Why did you come to Yuanyang County?"

"Liu Degui said that there is a batch of good goods and wants me to take a look...... I set off a few days late because of something, and I chased here to catch up! ”

"What does that Liu Degui do? Where did you become a water bandit before? …… What do you say he knows surnamed Shen, and what kind of ship does that surname Shen seem to have? You'd better explain all of this to the official one by one. ”

"Lord Hui, Liu Degui is a messenger official of the Yamen of Zhentai, Jiangsu, and is responsible for escorting prisoners to exile all over the year round. In the past, he was a subordinate of the two husbands and wives of Kunxiu Abao, a water thief in Taihu Lake, and later, Kunxiu Abao was sent by Yu Chengchan to lead an army of Jiangsu Governor Zhang Yunyi to break the water village, he escaped with a few subordinates, spent money to get through the relationship, and entered the Yamen of Zhentai! …… The surname Shen is Shen Qingyu, a salt lord, who has several large ships under his command, smuggles and sells salt all year round, and has fought several battles with the official army, and the official army has been defeated in successive battles......"

"That surnamed Shen is so powerful? Could it be that Yu Jackie Chan couldn't clean him up? Ma De is strange, it seems that this so-called "peaceful and prosperous era" really has a lot of water.

"Shen Qingyu has been on the ship all the year round, his whereabouts are uncertain, hundreds of his subordinates are fierce and fearless of death, and he bought a few artillery pieces from some Hongmaoyi, and the sailors don't dare to touch ...... at all."

“…… What kind of prisoners are Liu Degui detaining? ”

"The families of several convicts! …… There are Yandao Daotai, Yangzhou Prefect and some other officials! ”

"What's the matter with the governor's wife?"

"That was the concubine of Song Meat, the governor of Jiangsu, Song Meat was afraid of the inside, and he didn't dare to take her home, so he raised her as an outer room. As a result, after Song Meat's eldest woman learned about this, she actually took advantage of his patrol to send someone to arrest the woman and sell it to traffickers. …… Who knows, this woman was sold to Liu Xinming, the prefect of Yangzhou. That Liu Xinming is the person of the governor of Caoyun, Suolawang, who has an enmity with Song Meat, after hearing about this, he often goes to Liu Xinming's house to walk around, and specially asks this woman to sit with him, and calls him 'Governor's Wife' during the banquet! Song Rou was extremely annoyed when he learned about this, but because he was afraid of leaking his family's ugliness, he didn't dare to publicize it, so he secretly sent someone to verify the evidence of Liu Xinming's crime, so that he was beheaded and his house was raided! …… The woman became a family member of the offender. Chen Guer said.

"God, this officialdom is really messy. …… Chen Guer, how do you know these things so clearly? Mader asked again.

"Have you forgotten what a concubine does? There's no secret in a place like ours that can't be heard...... Just like Song Rou beat his eldest wife to the point that he couldn't go out for three months because of the 'governor's wife', and since then, we have been very clear about this kind of thing! Chen Guer said with a smile.

"You're amazing! …… Master Zhou, draw a charge for her! ......" Ma De shook his head and sighed, secretly having a headache for his future officialdom!

“…… Ah, oh, yes, yes! Zhou Qianchangzheng and a cadre of officials in Yuanyang County were "fascinated" by Chen Gu'er's talk about these officialdom secrets, and were awakened by Ma De's voice, hurriedly took two steps forward, personally grabbed the transcript written by the master, and sent it to Chen Guer. Chen Guer didn't look at it, stretched out his right thumb and pressed it on the ink, and then pressed it towards the record. At this time, Ma De suddenly shouted again:

"Slow ......"

"Do you have anything to say?" Zhou Qianchang turned his head and asked Ma De.

"It's not! ......" casually answered the question, and Ma De stared at Chen Gu'er with two eyes, without blinking.

"Your Excellency, you don't want me to draw a charge?" Chen Gu'er was looked at uncomfortably, and asked with a frown.

"Chen Da - sister! Excuse me, use the writing, don't press the handprint! You are so shrewd, I am afraid that you will use this handprint to sue me in the future, saying that after I knocked you unconscious, I will pick up this red mark pressed by your finger on my own! You have so many relationships, I'm afraid that I won't be able to hold it up when the time comes! ......," said Mader with a smile.

"My lord is so shrewd!" Turning his head sideways and smiling at Ma De, Chen Guer happily picked up the brush and drew it! However, her smile made Zhou Qianchang and the others look at it, and they were secretly glad that it was Ma De who asked about the case, if they came to ask, wouldn't they die and didn't know how?

"Good! …… Master Zhou, do you have any problems with the transcript? Seeing that Chen Guer had drawn a charge, Ma De asked Zhou Qianchang to check it again.

"Lord Futai, everything is complete, just wait for that Liu Degui to be interrogated, and you can report it to the Criminal Department together with the case form!" Zhou Qianchang carefully looked at the transcript and replied.

"Hmmm! You can watch the rest of the man and do it yourself! What to do, how to say you have it yourself. …… Come on, take the culprit to the cell and keep it under strict guard! Mader ordered. So, soon several jailers, two men and two women, came out of the hall and escorted Chen Guer and Liu Degui towards the hall respectively. However, as soon as she walked out of the lobby door, Chen Guer suddenly stopped, only to see her turn around and smile charmingly at Ma De, and said a word:

"My lord, we'll have a meeting later!"
