Chapter XVII
Ning Cheng, a weak scholar, could withstand such a sharp question, and was about to get up tremblingly, but found that his shoulder was held down by Bai Xiaojian.
"Apprentice, let me be the teacher. Bai Xiaojian smiled indifferently, and then Yun Danfeng got up lightly and looked directly at Zhan Da Catcher: "Ning Cheng is my apprentice, I don't know what kind of law he committed? ”
Zhan Da Catcher saw that Bai Xiaojian was calm and relaxed, carrying a sword, not like an ordinary person, so he didn't dare to slack off, patted the dust on his body, and clasped his fists with both hands: "This official is the head arrester of the county government of Fu County - Zhan Xing, before the Jiang family Gou housekeeper and the Jiang family nursing home Ding Dazhuang two people, came to the county government to beat the drum and shout the lawsuit, the two of them said that Ning Cheng stole fifty taels of silver in the front yard of the Jiang family in the evening of the day before yesterday, so this official is here to arrest the suspect Ning Cheng, and please do not shield the suspect." ”
Steward Gou, who was following behind Zhan Xing, immediately shouted loudly: "Lord Zhan has a good sense of everything! You must be the master of the small people, and arrest Ning Cheng, the thief!"
The Ding Huyuan on the side also took advantage of the situation to coax, pointed at Ning Cheng and said: "Lord Zhan, when the villain was on the eve of the night, he saw it clearly, it was this thief who entered the account room in the front yard of my Jiang family at night and stole fifty taels of silver. And this Ning Cheng, as we all know, is just a poor and sour, but now it is unreasonable, come to this Juxianglou to eat and drink, and the money used must be dirty! Now that the human and physical evidence are all there, why should the adults talk nonsense with this gang of thieves, and directly take down these gang of thieves, and torture them hard, are you afraid that they will not be recruited from the truth?"
Zhan Xing stroked his beard and nodded with a smile: "What you say is reasonable!"
Then there was a cold glint in his eyes, and he shouted to the officials behind him: "Someone!"
Several officials behind him immediately drew their sabers and were about to pounce.
Bai Xiaojian snorted coldly: "Wait!"
Zhan Xing shouted in a deep voice: "If Your Excellency dares to obstruct the affairs of the government, don't blame the official for taking it down and treating it as an accomplice!"
Bai Xiaojian didn't laugh angrily: "What a discerning person! Just relying on Ding Dazhuang's one-sided words, how can he be convicted? Moreover, when I came to Juxianglou to eat, I was a treat, not Ning Cheng to settle the bill." What's more, with only fifty taels of silver, I haven't paid attention to it. ”
With that, Bai Xiaojian slammed a thousand taels of silver ticket on the table.
Zhan Xing's eyes lit up, and he was shocked by the thousand taels of silver tickets, and immediately calculated in his heart: "It seems that the person in front of me is either rich or expensive! Although the Jiang family's housekeeper Gou promised before that after catching Ning Cheng, he would give me fifty taels of silver, but the person in front of him has an unknown origin and background, if it is a person I can't afford to offend, wouldn't it be a big disaster?"
Thinking of this, Zhan Xing immediately became a spirit, and hurriedly stopped the officials who were about to move behind him.
Then he clasped his hands into fists and said solemnly to Bai Xiaojian: "It's the lower official who has neglected to oversee for a while! After listening to the words of one side, please don't be surprised, Haihan forgive me." ”
Worship Xiaojian is also to give him steps to go down: "If you listen to it, you will be clear, and if you listen to it, you will be dark, and it will be a blessing for the people of Fu County to be able to deal with it impartially." ”
Steward Gou and Ding Huyuan saw the reversal of the situation and were about to make waves again, but they were glared at by Zhan Xing, and waved their hands to take them off.
Seeing this scene, Bai Xiaojian smiled and said, "Can Lord Zhan speak further?" ”
Anyway, walk towards the scenery screen at the back of the box.
The punishment followed suit, and he came to the other side of the scenery screen with the worship of Xiaojian.
Bai Xiaojian immediately took out a hundred taels of silver from his arms and handed it over: "Lord Zhan has worked hard for the peace of the people of Fu County, and Bai admires him very much, so he offers a little local product from his hometown to comfort the brothers who are on errands outside the country." ”
He did not shirk the punishment, and immediately accepted the money: "Okay! If the people of Fu County are as sympathetic as Your Excellency, we officials who are working hard outside, then the world will be peaceful." You're a friend, Zhan has made a deal!"
When Bai Xiaojian and Zhan Xing walked out from behind the screen with their shoulders on their backs, Ning Cheng and Jing Jie were dumbfounded.
After sending away the officials such as Zhan Xing, Bai Xiaojian smiled indifferently: "The problems that can be solved with money are not problems, but the Jiang family is not something that can be solved with money......"
Hearing this, Ning Cheng was not a pedantic and stupid person, and immediately said, "Master, do you want to ......?"
Speaking of this, Ning Cheng hurriedly shut up, looked out the window, and saw that there was no figure on the window before making a movement to wipe his neck.
Bai Xiaojian nodded: "The son can be taught." ”
Subsequently, he asked Ning Cheng several questions in a row, such as the second young man of the Jiang family, and whether he had bad deeds such as bullying men and women.
Ning Cheng immediately told the second young man of the Jiang family and Steward Gou about the previous evil deeds.
Bai Xiaojian pondered for a while, and suddenly his face turned straight, and he asked Ning Cheng sternly: "Disciple, what you said is true?
Ning Cheng immediately swore to the heavens that what he said was absolutely true, and there was no lie.
"Good. Bai Xiaojian's eyes suddenly exuded a terrifying killing intent.
Jing Ting, who was sitting next to her, was robbed of money and killed by robbers before, and her family was ruined, and she was no longer the innocent mentality she had before, so in an instant, she heard the meaning of worshipping Xiaojian, and not only was she not afraid, but she also had a trace of excitement.
"You are waiting for me here for half an hour. Bai Xiaojian immediately got up, instructed the two disciples, and then handed a thousand taels of silver ticket to Jing Wan: "Put away the silver ticket in case of emergency." ”
Ning Cheng saw that Bai Xiaojian was quite partial to Jing Wan, and he was slightly dissatisfied in his heart, but when he thought of Bai Xiaojian's thunderbolt wrist, the trace of dissatisfaction in his heart was instantly extinguished.
Jing Wan accepted the silver ticket, her heart fluttered, and a trace of red clouds appeared on her face, secretly saying that this master has so much gold, it seems that even if he is a maid, it is not bad.
Thinking of this, she suddenly fluttered her cheeks and said in a coquettish voice: "Master, you go early and come back early, the apprentice will be very worried about you!"
Bai Xiaojian said with a smile: "After this trouble is completely cleared, there is still something to do for the teacher, and he will definitely go early and return early, but ...... If I haven't come back after the hour comes, you can go to the county government and find the chief arrester to punish him, and get his refuge, and when the teacher arrives, he will also go to the county government to look for you. ”
Jing Wan frowned, and hurriedly said: "Master Zun's martial arts are superb, and his swordsmanship is unparalleled, how can anything happen." ”
Ning Cheng echoed the same.
Bai Xiaojian was complimented by these two disciples, and his old face was slightly red, he didn't know martial arts, let alone any swordsmanship.
And he doesn't have the slightest cultivation at present, although the immortal sword practice qi technique has long been engraved in his heart, but he hasn't had time to cultivate, all relying on the magic of the hidden charm and the sharpness of the evil sword.
If he didn't have these two treasures, any official or nurse would be able to beat him to tears.
