Chapter 50: She's a Murderer
The next day, Si Juan rarely slept until the end of the day, and the green willow almost thought that Si Juan had fainted to death inside, and just about to go in to check, Si Juan walked out of the door.
Si Wan looked up at the already dazzling sun, and raised his hand to block his eyes.
"Miss. The butler came over and shouted.
"It's Steward Si, what's the matter?" Si Juan said.
After handing a booklet to Si Juan, the housekeeper said, "That's right, this is the fourth elder of Si handed it over, saying that I will pass it on to you." β
"Because a few days ago, the Gu family held a fighting spirit competition, which caused the Si family's family competition to be postponed. It was supposed to be held two days ago, but you're too busy. β
Si Juan opened the booklet and read the contents of it at a glance and ten lines.
She thought that the Si family's family competition had been held a long time ago, but she didn't expect it to be postponed.
"I know, let the four elders prepare for the family competition, which will be held in the next few days. Si Wan said.
"Okay, then...... Miss, will you join us?" asked the butler again.
After thinking for a while, Si Wan handed the booklet back to the housekeeper, "I won't join in the fun, lest I say that I bullied the other children of the Si family." β
"Okay, then I'll go back to the words of the four elders. The butler took the booklet and turned to leave the glazed pavilion.
"Miss, Miss Chen came here just now, but she saw that you were still sleeping, so she left this and left. Green Willow brought an inconspicuous blue booklet to Si Juan's eyes.
Si Juan felt a little familiar, and as soon as he opened it, after a burst of blue smoke rose, the four big words "Tongyao Academy" appeared.
Next, Si Juan thought that it would be the same as Chen Beijing's admission letter, turning into a dragon, but after the four words disappeared, it turned into a phoenix, and after a chirp, it soared into the sky.
"Wow, that's beautiful!" said Midori Willow.
Si Juan took the booklet, which said the time of enrollment, ten days later.
In fact, she should have enrolled the day before yesterday, but Xu is Tongyao Academy also knew that Si Juan had taken over the Si family, and there were many things, so she postponed her enrollment for twelve days.
Closing the booklet, Si Juan only felt that she hadn't slept enough, the admission time of the Si family race and Tongyao Academy had come together, and she had to find a way to let the Liu family return the three shops with both hands.
The piles of things came together, and Si Qin's was a headache.
"I'll go sleep a little longer, and call me again when something happens. After speaking, Si Juan walked back to the bedroom.
............
After being busy with the affairs of the Si family for seven days, Si Juan still had time to cultivate her spirit, and the bottle of superb elixir that Nan Gongjin gave her was still lying in the cabinet.
Si Juan originally wanted to take advantage of the fact that he had nothing to do today, so he simply used the time to cultivate his spirit, but Si Juan was still simple, and something happened that afternoon.
The housekeeper hurriedly ran from outside the mansion to the Liuli Pavilion, looking panicked, when he ran outside the Liuli Pavilion, he saw the green willow pruning the flower branches, and shouted breathlessly: "Green willow girl, hurry... Go and call the eldest lady, something is wrong!"
When Lu Liu heard this, he didn't care that the branches were only half cut, and immediately put down the scissors and ran to Si Juan's bedroom.
"Miss is gone, the housekeeper said something big!"
As soon as Si Juan got the medicine bottle and was about to enter the secret space, he heard the voice of the green willow in the outhouse, so he walked out and asked, "What's wrong?"
At this time, the housekeeper also walked in with the door, and Si Juan hurriedly asked Luliu to pour a glass of water for the housekeeper, "Drink saliva first, you speak slowly." β
The housekeeper drank one cup after another, and it was not until he drank five cups of tea that he relieved himself, "Yesterday we took people to recover the five acres of land, and a group of farmers came to make trouble last night, and as a result, both sides were injured. β
"Then give some silver to the wounded guards, and as for the peasants, don't worry about the beating yourself. Si Wan said.
"That's not all! This morning, the group of people who came to the field to make trouble died when they came home! Now their families are carrying their bodies to the yamen to sue us, and the yamen people have come to summon you to go!"
Si Juan's heart sank, it's okay to say that this hurt people, this killed people...... But the Si family is at a loss.
Si Juan can kill a few dogs under Si Zhiyan's hands without blinking, and others can say that she is ruthless.
But if she kills a villager who has nothing to do with it, Si Juan will have to carry the words "Cao Kan's life" on her back, and she has just taken over the Si family, and she is afraid that she will have to hand over the Si family.
"In the Yamen?" Si Juan grasped a key point, the knowledge level of that group of peasants was not high, and they would only mess around.
It stands to reason that the guards of the Si family killed people, and they all carried the corpses to the door of the Si family to make trouble, how could they solve this matter directly through the yamen.
Moreover, the Si family is one of the three major families, and the relationship with the people in the officialdom is intricately entangled, and the powerless ordinary people will not choose to report to the official.
In recent years, there have been a lot of things about officials protecting each other.
"I see. Si Wan said, put the medicine bottle back in the cabinet, and followed the butler to the council room.
The people who came to the yamen to invite Si Juan had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Si Juan coming, they briefly explained the situation to her, and then took Si Juan back to the yamen.
At this time, there were many people around the gate of the county yamen, and there were five corpses in the courtyard of the yamen, and the peasants kneeling on the ground.
"The Folk Girl Meets ......"
"Excuse me, Miss, please take a seat. β
Si Juan was just about to salute, but the county official directly exempted her from the salute and asked people to move the chair up.
"Why let this murderer sit, we are the victims, why do we sit on our knees!" The group of peasants immediately became unhappy.
Si Juan waved his hand and asked the catcher to move the chair back, "Just sit down, the county lord still handles it impartially." β
The county magistrate nodded again and again, he was sweating profusely, and kept wiping his sweat.
He had been a prefectural magistrate in Kyoto for 10 years, and he had never tried such a case.
Not to mention that Si Juan is now in charge of the Si family, one of the three major families, her father Si Xiao is still a five-rank official in the court, and more importantly, Si Juan's fiancΓ© Nan Gongjin, that is an existence that even the emperor has to respect.
Not to mention whether a small county official like him from the fifth grade can be offended.
"Who is in the hall, what grievances are there, report it quickly!"
"Back to the county master, the villain's name is Zhong Sheng, the son of a peasant family in Puzhong Village, just last night my father and a few uncles and uncles just passed by the Si family's field, but were beaten to death by a few drunk Si family guards!"
"I hope the county lord will make the decision for us!" said the man in a shabby vest, who looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, and climbed a few steps forward on his knees.
"Are there any witnesses?"
"Yes! My cousin works as a guard in the Si family, and he is also on duty in the field, and he saw it with his own eyes!"
Si Juan sneered in his heart, has this already bought the human certificate?
"Bring it on!"
Then a man wearing the Si family's guard suit was taken off, the corners of his eyes and mouth were bruised, and his right hand was spinning at a strange angle.
He tried to get up, but his right hand should have been dislocated, and he couldn't get up after struggling for a long time.
Si Juan couldn't stand it anymore, so he walked over and raised the man's right hand, ready to pick him up.
"Femme fatale, don't touch my cousin!" Zhong Sheng stretched out his hand and was about to push Si Juan away, but Si Juan froze his body and couldn't move.
With a scream from the man lying on his stomach, his hand returned to its place.
