Chapter 165: Persecuted by the whole village
"Good!"
Su Qingyan got into the carriage, and Su Xiang asked with concern: "I happened to go to the restaurant today to find your brother-in-law, and I heard a guest officer discussing that someone had complained about Lu Tianhui, so I wanted to go to you, but I ran into it at the city gate, what happened?" ”
"Alas, this matter has nothing to do with Lu Tianhui." Su Qingyan sighed, roughly talked about the process, and the carriage arrived at the door of the yamen.
It is rare for the county government to open a court to try the case, and the door is full of people who watch the excitement, and some people also go to buy a bag of melon seeds, and eat while watching, they are very surprised, who is full of food, people are stupid and have a lot of money, and dare to knock on the yamen's drums.
It can be seen that the yamen is open to the south, and if you don't have money, don't come in, it's not just a joke.
And the image of the county order in the hearts of the people is undoubtedly revealed at this moment.
Su Qingyan got out of the carriage with Su Xiang and wanted to go inside, but was stopped by Yun Gu.
Yun Gu said worriedly: "Young lady, it's about the heirs, please don't go to dangerous places." ”
"It's okay, I'm just going to check it out." Su Xiang didn't listen, and said that she was going to move forward.
Yun Gu knelt directly in front of her: "The young lady must not do this, there are many people here, in case of pushing, the consequences are unimaginable, the maid will definitely not let the young lady get into danger." ”
"You!"
Su Xiang was a little angry, obviously she was the master, but why should she listen to the maid!
She wanted to break in, but was stopped by Su Qingyan.
"Sister, you just send me here, go back quickly, Yun Gu is right, the child is the most important, there must be no mistakes."
Su Qingyan said, heard the county master inside shouting Lu Tianhui's name, and told Aunt Yun to take the eldest sister back, so she hurriedly squeezed towards the crowd.
In front of the innermost desk in the county government hall, there sat an old man in an official uniform with a mustache, about fifty years old, with half-white hair and beard, a slightly long face, a dark complexion, and a pair of mouse eyes, looking full of shrewdness and calculation.
Sitting under the four big characters hanging high in the mirror, some of them are like clowns singing, unspeakably funny.
And when Su Qingyan saw his respectful face, his heart instantly cooled most of the time.
Although it is too superficial to judge people by their appearance, people's faces have something to do with his character, and then look at Lu Tianhui and Yan'er kneeling in the middle of the lobby respectively, Yan'er was crying, and the county magistrate did not scold her, but patted the hall and asked Lu Tianhui if he was guilty.
This is obviously biased in favor of Yan'er.
Su Qingyan sighed, Lu Tianhui must be more than lucky.
Sure enough, Lu Tianhui did not admit his guilt, and the county order did not let him go, and asked him to take out the deed of sale of Yan'er's mother and daughter to prove that Yan'er's mother and daughter were slaves.
Hearing this, the people who watched the excitement thought it was funny, but they didn't dare to laugh out loud.
Lu Tianhui said helplessly: "Lord County Commander, all the people who belong to this city, the household registration is in your hands, instead of waiting for me to go home to get the deed of sale, you might as well look at whether the mother and daughter are slaves."
The mother and daughter were registered on the slave list about eight or nine days ago, and they should be easy to find. ”
"Be bold and make a fool of the people, this official still needs you to teach me to do things!"
The eight-character Hu was shocked, and shouted vigorously: "The official is asking you for evidence, and I will just ask you if you can take it!"
Those slaves have already looked through them one by one, all of them are barbarians, and there are no of us Central Plains people.
And this woman is the concubine of Wang Yizhi's family in Yucheng, Yucheng is more than 30 miles away from here, Wang Yizhi is a showman, you say, how can his daughter be a slave! ”
"My lord, what is the identity of their mother and daughter, and what does it have to do with me? Our family just happened to buy their mother and daughter. ”
"Boldly ...... the people"
"Clear face."
Su Qingyan was nervously watching the county magistrate try the case, her clothes were suddenly pulled, and when she turned around, it was Lin Zhongyan who was signaling her to go out.
She didn't want to leave here, but she knew that it was useless to continue to spend here, the county master was determined to help Yan'er punish Lu Tianhui, and she had to find a way to rescue Lu Tianhui.
"Qingyan, I've heard everything, just now I let Qingyun go in to fight the pawn, if there is a board or something, those people are just pretentious, and they won't be ruthless.
However, Lu Tianhui stayed inside and couldn't get out for the time being. ”
"Why? Is there not enough money? I have here, nine hundred taels of silver, all for you. ”
Su Qingyan hurriedly stuffed money into Lin Zhongyan's hand, but Lin Zhongyan didn't want it.
Su Qingyan was about to cry, she couldn't figure it out, Gao Qingyun and Lin Zhonghuo were also big clans in the city, and there was no reason to throw money and save someone.
Su Xiang leaned over and said:
"Qingyan, things may be more troublesome than we imagined, your brother-in-law bought off the master in the yamen and asked him to go through the slave file, but the master directly told him that there was no Yan'er mother and daughter in the file, and he was ordered by the county order to cross it out."
"Ah...... How so? ”
Su Qingyan wanted to run back: "No matter, let's go and make a fake deed of sale first, we can't let Lu Tianhui suffer in prison all the time." ”
"Qingyan, it's useless, the foundation of the government has changed, even if you take out the deed of sale, the county order will not recognize it.
When the time comes, you will be charged with falsifying the deed of sale, and you will be imprisoned, but Lu Tianhui is not the only one. ”
"What then? If confirmed, what will be the charge?
"According to the law, the state divides those who abduct and sell women and children from good families into three years' imprisonment, exile for 3,000 miles, or beheading, depending on the severity of the circumstances. If a child is beaten, or if a woman or child dies as a result of abuse, he or she may be killed. ”
Gao Qingyun's voice from far to near, little by little, consumed Su Qingyan's optimism and hope, making her whole person extremely depressed.
However, Gao Qingyun did not only hit Su Qingyan, he said:
"I heard something interesting from my master, Yan'er might as well take her sister-in-law to visit Mrs. County."
"What? You just tell us no, when will you still sell it? ”
Lin Zhongyan saw that Gao Qingyun still had nothing to say, so he was anxious, pouting with a small mouth, and retorting cracklingly, like a cannon.
Gao Qingyun's tall body took two steps forward, pinched her chin, and gently leaned up.
Lin Zhongyan thought he was going to kiss him, so he turned his head shyly, but what Gao Qingyun was waiting for was that she turned his head.
He whispered a word in Lin Zhongyan's ear, and hot air poured into Lin Zhongyan's ears, and in an instant, an electric current flashed in her body, which made her shiver.
But he couldn't fight back, gritted his teeth, hesitated again, and finally nodded with a frown, and said, "Okay!" Su Qingyan felt that she had a bit of an aura of looking at death.
Gao Gongzi got the promise, and he was not stingy, and he spit out the romantic things that he had just heard from his master.
"That Yan'er is said to be very good at what is in the room, the county magistrate who waits night and night does not distinguish things, and the county magistrate is about to hang herself, you might as well start with the enemy's enemy."
"If you want to talk about the enemy of the enemy, then the county lady may not be able to help.
Yucheng's genuine Mrs. Wang is the enemy of the mother and daughter.
As long as the mother of the Wang family said that she had sold her concubine and concubine, even the county master could not help but let Lu Tianhui go. ”
Su Qingyan was heartbroken, and said to Su Xiang: "Eldest sister, can you lend me the carriage." ”
"I'll go with you!"
"The young lady can't go."
As soon as Su Xiang opened her mouth, she was immediately vetoed by Yun Gu.
Lin Zhongyan also wanted to say that he wanted to accompany Su Qingyan, but was blocked by Gao Qingyun: "You are not allowed to go, don't forget what you promised me just now!" ”
