Chapter 49: So Dark
In a few moments, the broken silver melted into a drop of silver. Cheng Hu mobilized his mana and shook it, and the silver liquid scattered in all directions, turning into a cloud of silver mist and gathering towards the stone.
After a while, Cheng Hu took his hand out of his shirt, and there was an extra ingot of "silver" with residual warmth in his hand.
"Hurry up, I don't have time to spend with you. The official looked impatient.
"Hey, here, here, here. Be careful, take care of it, sir. Just when an old man was thinking about whether to take the lead in slipping away, Cheng Hu trotted to the front of the official and put the freshly baked white flower "silver" in the hands of the official. At the same time, the spiritual power acts on the "silver", making it slightly heavier.
"Well, it's kind of acquaintance. The official cushioned the "silver" in his hand, and then carefully put it away. "Wait, I'll tell the county lord. β
With that, the official entered the yamen with a happy face. In fact, he didn't expect to gain so much, most of the time no one came to complain, even if there were a few people who didn't understand the world, they were all driven away after he blackmailed them. He wouldn't go to ask the county lord for just a few copper plates, the lord is so 'busy', how can he have time to pay attention to such a trivial matter. If you are in a bad mood in time, you will be reprimanded.
But today is different, seeing that this kid took out a silver ingot so easily, there is obviously oil and water to fry. In addition, his young age is so generous, and his background is definitely not ordinary, and the county magistrate is very willing to make friends with these big people.
Seeing this, those old men secretly said that it was a pity, such a big ingot of silver would be gone. Although they had already guessed that Cheng Hu would have some money, they didn't expect to give so much. These old men are all old people, how can they not know the darkness of the county government. If Cheng Hu was penniless, they would not be idle and brave. But even so, they still felt distressed for Cheng Hu. A silver ingot isn't much, but it's just a janitor after all.
While everyone was waiting patiently outside, the official turned around in the ya, walked out of the back door, and went straight to the largest Qinglou Mandarin Duck Pavilion in the county
After some twists and turns, the chubby magistrate was finally recovered, and the two rows of officials also lined up in the lobby.
"Someone, wake me up. "This lord simply avoided even the most basic promotion and went straight to trial.
When the officials on both sides heard this, they immediately walked out, brought a bucket of cold water, and splashed it on the woman's head.
However, when the bucket of cold water went down, the woman did not react at all, and still lay on the ground like a dead pig.
"You, you, you, you guys too. β
The magistrate gave an order, and a few more people walked out and found wooden barrels to fetch water.
"Wow", "Wow", "Wow", "Wow", "Wow", "Wow"
More than a dozen buckets of cold water went down one after another, and the woman was doused like a chicken in soup, and even someone went up and slapped her twice, but she was still lying there unconscious. It can be seen how powerful the "sugar ball" medicine it took out was. Rao Yi Cheng Hu's determination couldn't help but secretly admire, if he ate this fierce medicine, he didn't know if he could bear it.
"Hey! Come on, go to the cell and fetch me the 'cool powder'. The magistrate waved his hand, and then waited with great interest.
Within a few moments, a servant ran back to the lobby with a pack of yellow powder. After the official stood still, he looked at the magistrate and showed an inquiring look.
The magistrate nodded.
Seeing this, the servant came to the woman's side and squatted down, carefully opened the paper bag, laughed evilly, and sprinkled all the yellow powder on the woman's face.
The old men in the hall watched intently, and Cheng Hu was also thinking about what this thing was.
As soon as the powder touched the woman's face, a puff of black smoke rose from it, and dense puscesses rose one after another with a sizzling sound, which looked disgusting.
Then a heart-rending scream of "ah" was heard, and the woman sat up suddenly, grabbed her hands on her face, and scratched out ten deep blood marks.
Seeing this, the officials on both sides hurriedly held it down, and fixed their arms on the torture instruments that had been prepared long ago.
When the old men saw this, they only felt a burst of horror and couldn't bear to look at it.
In fact, what they see is only superficial. This so-called cool powder was specially developed by the children of the Xu family in the capital to torture people and practice ghost dao exercises to extract resentment. When sprinkled on the body, it will cause people great pain and itching, and at the same time, the mind will be clear and the senses will be extremely sharp. If it is used together with other torture instruments, it is really worthy of the name of survival and death.
Cheng Hu sighed slightly in his heart, this was a little more cruel than him burning Ma Laocai's father and son. Of course, this woman deserves to abduct and sell so many children. can look at the way the "Qingtian" lord in this hall judges the case, there should be more wronged than the real murderer.
Ignoring the woman's screams, Fat Zhixian asked with a look of enjoyment: "Are you the one who has abducted and trafficked children many times recently?" Obviously, the official who guarded the door had already told him the general story of the matter.
"It's me, it's all me. Ah, please kill me. The woman screamed and begged for mercy.
"Ahhh
"Hmph, kill you? Is it not a waste to kill with such labor? This judge sentenced you to twenty years' hard labor. β
"Come on, press down. β
The magistrate gave an order, and the woman was immediately dragged away. As the screams faded away, the case was officially closed. The party who filed the complaint did not say a word from beginning to end, and such a method of adjudication is really unprecedented.
After dealing with it, Fat Zhixian walked over to Cheng Hu with a smile on his face, revealing a kind face: "Hehe! This virtuous nephew has been separated from his family? What is the name of Lord Ling Zun? Uncle, I can ask someone to find you and send you back." β
Hearing Fat Zhixian call it so, Cheng Hu secretly despised it in his heart. This guy is too snobbish, guessing that he may be from a famous family, and the trick is almost enough, but it is unbearable to become his uncle in the blink of an eye.
I thought so in my heart, but I didn't show it on my face, after all, I still asked people to do things. Looking up at the left and right, Fat Zhixian immediately understood, and retired the officials on both sides, and the old men naturally did not stay, and left the yamen with interest.
After this move, Fat Zhixian even more determined that Cheng Hu was born extraordinary, maybe it was a separated prince and grandson. Once he was sent back, the impression above was very good, and the time had come for him to be promoted and make a fortune. (To be continued.) οΌ
