King Shou said: "This is very good, in addition, let your senior brother understand everything in the palace, strictly seal the news, and don't let anyone be suspicious." ”

The little witch said: "I'll do it, you see!"

In this way, the discussion was proper, and the little witch went to Qianning Palace to discuss with her senior brother Mo Xiaodao about going to Nanjing.

The next day, someone entered the palace to report, saying that King Shou occasionally felt cold at night, and he couldn't afford to be sick in the morning, so King Fu Mo Xiaodao naturally wanted to visit King Shou's mansion in person, so he took the brocade guard and the eunuch with him, and came by dragon.

The group entered King Shou's mansion directly from the middle gate, and Long Yuan stopped in front of King Shou's bedroom, and Mo Xiaodao got into King Shou's bedroom after getting down.

In the dormitory, King Shou, Mei Bufan and others have been waiting for a long time, after Mo Xiaodao came in, he wanted to salute King Shou, and King Shou was busy saying: "Excuse me, exempt!"

Geng Jingzhong hurriedly changed the prepared civilian clothes to Mo Xiaodao, and Mo Xiaodao handed the changed dragon robe to the eunuch who was close to him, and instructed him: "After an hour, take the dragon chariot back, and stop at the door of the dormitory like this, don't let the idle people see it." ”

Then, he bid farewell to King Shou, accompanied by Geng Jingzhong, slipped out from the back door of the palace, passed through the back garden of the palace, and came to a corner gate.

The corner door opened, and a covered carriage had been waiting for a long time, with little witches, butterflies, and bells standing beside them, as well as red wolves, snowcats, and a few horses.

After Mo Xiaodao nodded and recognized everyone, he raised his leg and got into the carriage, and everyone also got on the horse, and the coachman beat the horse forward, and the group turned left and right along the secluded street, and after a while, they arrived at the main street, and then along Yongan Avenue, they went straight out of Nancheng.

After leaving the city, everyone sighed, Mo Xiaodao in the car opened the curtains, and said to the little witch beside the car: "Senior sister, when will you give me a horse, it's too depressing to sit in this car." ”

The little witch said, "Don't worry, senior brother, when you are farther away from Kyoto, you will come out and ride a horse." ”

Mo Xiaodao reluctantly lowered the curtains.

A group of people gallop on the official road, under the bright sun of early autumn, among the acres on both sides of the official road, there is already a golden harvest scene, this year the wind and rain are smooth, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the Mo knife in the car and the people on horseback are praying for the people.

At noon, after walking more than 100 miles, the group arrived in Yuqing County, found a very small hotel, and continued to rush after wanting to satisfy their hunger!

The hotel is not big, there is only a lobby plus a back kitchen, a group of people came in and found a big table, the little witch instructed the cousin: "Six dishes, two pots of wine." ”

Geng Jingzhong lit up a little, and saw that this was an old shop, and most of the customers in it were regular customers, and the guests were basically familiar with each other, so he put his mind at ease.

The wine and food were served in time, the taste was really good, everyone ate very smoothly, Geng Jingzhong accompanied Mo Xiaodao to drink two glasses, everyone talked about what they saw and heard along the way, and they were also happy.

At this time, the conversation between the two old men on the table attracted everyone's attention, and only one sixty-year-old man said: "I heard that the case on Yulin Street in the afternoon will be judged?"

Another old man at the same table said: "Is the verdict still an unjust case?" ”

The sixty-year-old man whispered: "I heard that the county master received the Lin family's silver, can he not speak to the Lin family?"

The old man said: "Pity the orphans and widows of the Song family!"

The sixty-year-old man said: "What can be done, it is the way of the jungle." ”

The little witch listened to it for a long time, and felt that there was something wrong with it, so she walked over with a pot of wine.

She filled the two old men with wine respectively, and then said: "Two old men, we are passing merchants, we are going to Nanjing, can you tell us about the case you two just said, so that we can see and hear for a long time!"

The two old men lit up the people in the seat, there were men, women, and a child, not like people from the government, let alone locals. So I put my mind at ease.

The sixty-year-old man said, "Then I will talk to you, but you should not talk nonsense at will, so as not to burn yourself." ”

The little witch said: "Don't worry, two old people, after eating this meal, we will be on the road, and there will be no trouble." ”

The sixty-year-old man said: "This case is actually very ordinary, we have a rainy street here, which is a good place to do business, with more than 100 large and small shops, and every inch of land is gold." Among them, there is a Lin jewelry store, the family is big, the business is prosperous, next door to this jewelry store is a shroud shop surnamed Song, a family of three, relying on some paper people and paper horses, selling some shrouds to survive, the business is not good or bad, barely making a living. ”

Speaking of this, the sixty-year-old man took a sip of wine, and then continued: " Lin Dashan, the shopkeeper of Lin's jewelry, always felt that his shop was adjacent to the shroud shop, and he was very unlucky, so he wanted to pay for the Song family's shroud shop to expand his shop, but he refused to spend more money, so he didn't talk about it, but since then, this Lin Dashan has changed the law to bully the Song family, sweeping all the snow in front of the Song family's store in winter, and draining all the rainwater to the door of the Song family's store in summer, which is not counted, and the apprentices are also called to the door of the Song family to scold every once in a while, and the loyal and honest Song shopkeeper endures and endures, but ......"

Speaking of this, he looked left and right, and then whispered: "But ten days ago, the shopkeeper Song didn't hold back, so he came out to reason with Lin Dashanren, then I expected that Lin Dashanren gave an order, let more than a dozen apprentices do it together, and actually beat the shopkeeper Song, fell to the ground, and then the neighbor carried him back to the shop, and died that night! Song's wife was lonely, there was no way, so she had to bury her husband first, who expected, this matter was not over, yesterday the Lin Dashan man took a piece of paper and wanted to go to the Song family's shroud shop, saying that the Song shopkeeper had mortgaged this shop to him before his death, and now he wants to take back this shop. Song's wife had no choice but to sue Lin Dashan to the county government again, and the county magistrate had already accepted it, and the result of the trial was announced this afternoon!"

When the little witch and everyone heard what happened to this case, they were all filled with righteous indignation, and the little witch remembered one thing again, she asked the two old men: "Just now the second old man said that the county master received the Lin family's money, is this true?"

The old man said: "Little girl, do you know, this old man is also surnamed Lin, but the family of Lin Dashan, he spent money to donate this official, can he earn the money back?"

At this time, Mo Xiaodao interjected: "Can this county official still spend money to buy it?"

The sixty-year-old man said, "What's strange about this. ”
