Cheng Yuanxiang, the belated commander of Lantian County, heard that Liu Shicheng was driving everyone out, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked Zhuang Laohan and others to wait outside the yamen.

Mu Yirong saw that the people who should have come were almost there, so he asked Zhuang Laohan and others to stay, saying that he came to Lantian County to investigate the death of Daoist Heming, and now that the important witness Shen Touer has been found, he will arrest the murderer in the Yamen Courtyard of Lantian County today.

In the afternoon, the sun did not diminish for half a minute, and the fiery red sun hung reluctantly in the middle, refusing to move half a minute to the west, and venting its heat to everyone.

It's just that there was a sudden gust of cool breeze, which was incompatible with this hot summer.

The sudden weird cool breeze took away the heat from people's bodies, and also hooked out the cool air in the hearts of some people.

Cheng Yuanxiang, the county commander who came in a hurry, was sweating hotly, and when he heard that Mu Yirong was going to interrogate Shen Tou'er in the yamen courtyard, he didn't bother to wipe the sweat off his forehead, and stepped forward to bow and salute.

"Lord Squire, it's hot, please come to the yamen hall to talk!"

After speaking, he turned his head and drove away the people who were standing in the courtyard of the yamen to watch the excitement: "The yamen tried the case, and the idle people all retreated. ”

Mu Yirong waved his hand and asked everyone to stay, and then motioned to Hou Hu to bring tables and chairs, and he wanted to interrogate Shen Tou'er in the yamen courtyard.

Cheng Yuanxiang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and said with some embarrassment that he was the county magistrate of Lantian County, and that Shen Tou'er was suspected of killing the banker's daughter, and he should be interrogated by him, the head of a county, and there was no need to bother Mu Yirong to work hard.

When Shen Tou'er heard that Cheng Yuanxiang was going to preside over the case, he immediately jumped to his feet in a hurry, and couldn't help but scold: "You are a fool, where do you know how to interrogate cases." Don't think I don't know that you have sinister intentions and want to lay all the blame on me. You tried the case, but I am not convinced. ”

The Shen family's wife also hurriedly helped, and the case involved many people, all of which were related to the county order Cheng Yuanxiang, and if the county order Cheng Yuanxiang reviewed the case, it would be unfair. said, begging Mu Yirong to clear her husband's grievances.

When the county magistrate Cheng Yuanxiang heard the words of the Shen family, he blew up the temple, and asked her what she meant, how dare she wronged him as a county official!

The Shen familywife was so frightened that she shut down and shrank behind Shen Tou'er, and Shen Tou'er immediately complained to Mu Yirong: "Lord Shilang, take a look, this is how he is the parent official of this county." I only know that the women of the Roaring Liang family can't find out if there is a death lawsuit in their county, if the villain is handed over to this foolish official, he must be wrongfully pushed out and beheaded, and the murderer who really killed the Zhuang family girl was beheaded. ”

Cheng Yuanxiang saw that Shen Tou'er and his wife were singing and suing him in front of Mu Yirong, and immediately shouted out for injustice, saying that he had been an official for several years, and he had never wronged a good person by accepting a bribe of one or two silver with a clear conscience. Let Shen Tou'er, the murderer, not frame him with a red mouth and white teeth, in a vain attempt to get away with the crime.

Saying that, he complained to Cheng Yuanxiang with great grievances: "Lord Shangshu, the lower official is the head of this county, and he has always dealt with it impartially, and has never been favoritism, illegal or disciplined. Because of this, he has offended many people, but a person like Shen Tou'er, who is suspected of murder and boldly bites his parents' officials, is really the first time he has seen it today, and he is really going to unjustly kill him. ”

Liu Shicheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, has suffered a lot of benefits during the time he has lived in the county order Cheng Yuanxiang's mansion, as the saying goes, he has a short hand and a soft mouth, so he naturally wants to help Liu Shicheng.

And he felt that an ordinary flat-headed ordinary man casually opened his mouth to point at the court officials, which was not polite, so he first loudly declared Shen Tou'er rude, and then said to Mu Yirong: "Mu Shilang, Cheng County Ling is right, this is Lantian County, Cheng County Ling is the local parent official, and he should be the one who will try this case." ”

Shen Tou'er saw that the Shangshu of the Criminal Department actually helped Cheng County Order speak, and he was in a hurry, and he stepped forward to pull Mu Yirong, but was stopped by Hou Hu and Hou Hou, so that he had something to say, and he was not allowed to pull and pull on adults.

Shen Tou'er was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and asked Mu Yirong to make the decision for him, if he was handed over to the county commander Cheng Yuanxiang, he would definitely be convicted in a daze.

When Cheng Yuanxiang heard Shen Tou'er say this, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and asked Shen Tou'er why he slandered him so much, what unjust and unfair things did he do?

When Shen Tou'er was about to speak, he was stopped by Mu Yirong's outstretched hand. Mu Yirong saluted slightly to the nineteenth prince who had just separated the crowd and walked in: "Since the nineteenth prince is here, let the nineteenth prince preside over the interrogation!"

The nineteenth prince, who was shaking a fan, looked confused, and said that he didn't know anything, and what kind of case was being tried.

Then pointed at Mu Yirong with a fan: "Yirong, you have to blame this king for being lazy." ”

As he spoke, he ordered someone to bring a chair, sit down, and then ordered someone to watch tea, he wanted to listen to Mu Yirong's trial and arrest the murderer.

The second girl who was thrown into the command of the nineteenth prince immediately prepared snacks and tea, stood aside, and shook the fan very intimately to help the nineteenth prince fan the wind and enjoy the coolness.

The nineteenth prince praised the second girl with great satisfaction, and said that the second girl served with her heart, and wherever he went in the future, he would take the second girl with him.

The second girl immediately thanked Dade and said that she would definitely serve the Nineteenth Prince more wholeheartedly in the future, which provoked her original master Cheng Yuanxiang, and couldn't help but secretly scold her for watching people put down dishes and being a dog who forgets her righteousness.

Cheng Yuanxiang, who was just laughing at the second girl in his heart, immediately stepped forward with great humility and humility, and said to the Nineteenth Prince that he did not dare to bother Lord Shilang, and the murder case in his jurisdiction should be tried by him.

The Nineteenth Prince smiled and said that since Mu Yirong had captured him, he would interrogate him personally, and let Cheng Yuanxiang go aside to listen.

Cheng Yuanxiang wanted to say something, but he was squeezed away by Liu Shicheng and almost fell.

Liu Shicheng, who had a flattering face, approached the nineteenth prince: "What the prince said is right. The lower officials heard that Mu Shilang's interrogation was very set, but he was still young, and he had to bother the Nineteenth Prince to mention more points on the side, so that he could find out the ins and outs of everything as soon as possible. ”

The nineteenth prince was probably because of the hot weather, and he had always been very good-tempered, so he couldn't help but glance at Liu Shicheng.

"Lord Shang Shuliu, if you can try the case, go over and ask the suspect, if not, just shut up and sit aside, don't waste time. ”

Liu Shicheng nodded with an embarrassed face, stood aside stupidly, and couldn't help but bump into Cheng Yuanxiang again, making Cheng Yuanxiang angry.

Cheng Yuanxiang is angry here, and he is also angry there, and he can't help but stare at Shen Tou'er viciously, seeing who else he wants to bite when he opens his mouth?

At this time, Liu Qingyan, whose face was very pale and ugly, walked into the courtyard of the yamen, and walked to Mu Yirong with the help of a little maidservant, looking like Lin Daiyu's delicate appearance, covering her face with her sleeves, and coughing twice.

Mu Yirong frowned slightly, if Dao Liu Qingyan is unwell, please go back and rest, there is no need to stay here and be innocently poisoned by the scorching sun.
