Chapter Ninety-Seven: Seeing the Official
said that Li Gongfu hurriedly went out with the silver taels, and the Xu sisters and brothers didn't know the difference, and they were happy with each other. But An Yi looked at the departing figure of Li Gongfu and thought about it in his heart.
Before Li Gongfu made up his mind to leave, he glanced at him. At this time, although he did not have the Heavenly Demon Yuan God on his body, he also had a good understanding of the changes in people's hearts.
Li Gongfu's glance just now was extremely complicated, maybe even he didn't know what he said he thought, but in An Yi's heart, there were no less than three inferences.
One is that Li Gongfu believed that the silver was not stolen by Xu Xian, and by virtue of his relationship in the Yamen, and half of himself, he should be exempted from calamity.
Second, if the first article doesn't work, I'm afraid it won't mean that An Yi will help explain. After all, he was special about "prophet" before, and he should not be an ordinary person.
Third, even if his explanation doesn't work, Li Gongfu may not have the intention of letting him take the post. After all, his "prophet" is also suspicious.
Li Gongfu may not have thought of all these three articles, but subconsciously, there must be zĂ i. As for the final result, I am afraid that we will have to wait and see what happens.
As soon as he thought of this, he smiled comfortably, and said secretly in his heart: "No wonder people's hearts are sinister, but they can't help themselves!"
Having said that, he had no intention of leaving. Drinking tea and listening to the happy conversation between the sisters and brothers, his expression was extremely leisurely.
After a while, there was a sudden "bang!", the door of the Li family was kicked open, and four poor mermaids jumped in.
The Xu sisters and brothers were shocked, not knowing what was going on. Fang wanted to ask, but unexpectedly, the four messengers had already arrived in front of him, hung Tie Lian, locked it and said, "Young Master Xu, come with us!" After speaking, he turned his gaze to comfort. He arched his hand and said, "This Dao Master, the master also asks you to go over and talk about it." Although the words were polite, they faintly surrounded him. Obviously, the county magistrate instructed "be polite, but be sure to bring it" and so on.
An Yi thought for a moment. I know that Li Gongfu told the truth, and there was no nonsense. Otherwise, he would be the same as Xu Xian.
first said a few words to appease Xu, and then said to the four messengers: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, please!" After speaking, he followed the messenger to the county office.
At this time, the Xu family still didn't understand where it was born, although she was worried about her younger brother, but she was an ordinary woman, but she couldn't get close to the county office. I had to wait at home with anxiety. Pray in my heart: Brother don't do anything!
......
Don't mention her, but said that An Yi and his party came to the county hall, and the four messengers pushed Xu Xian and An Yi to the center of the hall, scattered on both sides, and stood here in two columns on the left and right, shouting: "Mighty ââ"
Xu Xian was already frightened, and fell to his knees as soon as his legs became weak. And Anyi, his face was very calm. I watched this ascension ceremony that I had never seen before.
"Smack-" There was a startling sound. The voices on both sides were silent, and the county official first looked at An Yi and frowned. But in the end, it was moved to Xu Xian.
At this time, the benefits of being handsome are revealed. When the magistrate saw Xu Xian's dignified face and clear eyebrows, he was pleasing to the eye at the moment, and said in his heart: "This person doesn't seem to be a bandit, there must be a reason in it." Let me take a closer look. â
At that moment, Ji Yan asked with a pleasant face: "The person under the hall is Xu Xian Xu Hanwen?"
Xu Xian was still in the dark at this time, but how dare he not answer when the chief asked. At the moment, he said: "Back to the master, the little one is exactly." â
The more amiable the county became. He said: "Where do you live? How old are you this year? Do you have parents and brothers? Have you ever been married? Where did these two ingots of silver come from? â
Xu Xian said: "Go back to the master." The youngest family lives in this county, is 17 years old this year, his parents died, and he has no brothers, only his sister married Li Gongfu as his wife. The younger one was at his brother-in-law's house since he was a child, and he was sent by his brother-in-law to live in a pharmacy and did not marry a wife. This silver is a gift from a friend, and I hope the lord will cut it. â
The magistrate's face suddenly turned grim, and he shouted: "Hugh is talking nonsense! What is the name of your friend?
Xu Xian had already been fascinated by Bai Suzhen at this time, where was he willing to tell the truth, and thought: "Miss Bai is a daughter, if I show my true feelings, won't I insult her style?" â
As soon as the words fell, the county magistrate had already turned his attention to An Yi. Not only did Li Gongfu speak first, but also because he had already changed into a Taoist costume at this time, how could he not be an outsider!
Seeing this, An Yi could only shake his head and smile bitterly, Xu Xian, this bastard, is really forgetful!
Just thinking about it, at this time, Xu Xian saw that the county official had misunderstood, and secretly complained in his heart, even if he still had a little conscience, he hurriedly said: "The old man is slow, the little one is another person." â
When the county magistrate heard this, he laughed angrily: "You are so young, how many people do you know from outside the party?" full of nonsense, come to someone, and take a heavy responsibility for forty Huang Jing!" After speaking, he threw down the lottery holder on the case.
I saw people on both sides shouting up, dragging Xu Xian to the ground at once, and beating forty wattles in the wind. Pity him for his tender white and fat skin, his legs were bloody, his eyes rolled, and he lost consciousness.
Seeing this, the county magistrate turned his gaze to comfort and asked, "Where is Dao Changxian Township?"
An Yi raised his eyebrows, looked at Xu Xian, who fainted in pain, and secretly killed chickens and monkeys? smiled in his heart, and arched his hand: "I have seen the official master, the poor road has practiced since childhood, traveled in all directions, and the four seas are home, and I am used to being a bed on the ground in the sky, but I don't know where my hometown is, just do my peace of mind, it is my hometown!" I have to say that his two words are still very successful, coupled with his "fairy wind bones", as well as the temper of this county official who judges people by appearance, he was really stunned for a while.
Thinking of what Li Gongfu said, the county magistrate even recognized him as extraordinary, and his tone was formal, and asked: "Can the Taoist chief explain, how did he know that this money would be in Xu Xian's hands, and why was the treasury silver stolen, and who did it?"
Before An Yi could answer, Xu Xian suddenly woke up and cried, "Master, the villain is wronged." â
The magistrate frowned and scolded: "Fart! Now that someone has testified here, you still dare to deny it?"
Xu Xian was shocked in his heart, and said forcefully: "Master, the villain is really wronged! I don't know who testified and wanted to slander the little one." â
The magistrate was interrupted by him, and forgot about comfort for the time being, and with a move in the backhand, Li Gongfu came out to testify.
Li Gongfu was both distressed and guilty, ran to Xu Xian's side, helped him and said, "Hanwen, you can recruit it." You told me in person before, Miss Bai gave you a silver tael to contract a marriage, and then you handed over the silver tael to me and asked me to officiate the marriage between the two of you. But I recognized that these two ingots were the treasury silver that was lost last night, so I had no choice but to prove that it was not my brother-in-law who was unrighteous, but that it was a responsibility that could not be shirked. Listen to my advice, summon all the things, admit it early, or you can get the master's mercy and reduce the punishment. â
When Xu Xian heard this, his face was like earth, and he was even more worried about the beauty, how could his brother-in-law testify in person, and it was difficult to hide it, so he had no choice but to recruit. Then he met the lady at the tomb in the West Lake, and borrowed an umbrella by boat, and gave a silver marriage to the house for a detailed explanation.
While instructing the scribe to record the confession, the magistrate asked: "Xu Xian, there are 1,000 taels of silver lost in the county's treasury, and there should be 20 ingots, but now there are only these two ingots, and there are even 18 ingots?"
Where did Xu Xian know, shook his head and said: "Back to the master, she only gave the villain two spindles, and the remaining eighteen spindles, the villain really didn't know." â
Zhixian said: "In this case, then the county will send someone to get these two daughters with you, and if you can recover the remaining silver, you will be exempted from your sin!" After speaking, he ordered eight tolerances and went with Xu Xian to get the two daughters of Bai and Qing.
After Xu Xian and the others left, the county magistrate once again set his eyes on An Yi, thinking that he seemed to be proficient in divination, so he asked, "What does the Taoist chief think about this matter? How did the two girls steal the treasury silver? Xu Xian is here, can he bring them back?"
An Yi shook his head and said: "Master still don't have too much hope, the second daughter has some magical powers, I am afraid that she has left at this time, but fortunately she left the silver, and the case is closed." â
The county magistrate was puzzled: "What does the Taoist chief mean by this?"
An Yi just shook his head, but he didn't want to say any more.
That Bai Suzhen's Taoism is not shallow, and he is also proficient in the art of divination, and now he is afraid that Xu Xian is in trouble, in order to avoid Xu Xian being punished again, it is estimated that he has left the treasury silver and went out to hide.
Sure enough, after a while, he sent someone to take Xu Xian to the hall and knelt down, and said: "Lord Qiqi, the little ones accompanied him to Shuangcha Lane, found a place to live, entered the garden, and then searched everywhere, and there was no trace of the two women, only eighteen ingots of silver were placed under the pavilion. I asked the neighbors of the place, and they all said that this is the empty garden of the Qiu Wangfu, no one lives, and there are often monsters in the park, and no one dares to enter. With that, he presented the silver.
Zhixian frowned, put the silver into the treasury, but his two eyes stayed on An Yi.
What he said just now came true, which made the county magistrate not surprised and surprised.
It's just that now is not the time to talk, and now called Xu Xian to step forward and said: "If you talk about stealing treasury silver, the crime should be beheaded, but the official thinks that you are young, and those two girls think that they are demons, and you are also victimized by demons, so they will take you lightly and match Suzhou Xujiang Bun." After speaking, he instructed Li Gongfu: "You take him back to your home, wait for the county to write the paperwork, and leave within three days." â
Seeing Li Gongfu return home with Xu Xian, An Yi also said goodbye.
The county magistrate said: "If the Taoist chief has nothing important, why don't you stay and have a few drinks with the county?"
An Yi said: "Thank you for your kindness, but after all, Poor Dao and Xu Xian have known each other, but at this time, it is not good to stay." â
The county magistrate was right to think about it, anyway, there will be time in the future, and he said at the moment: "This is a human favor, this official is not easy to stop, then Xu Xian will leave within three days, and the Taoist chief should get together with him for a few more days." In this way, the only way to invite the Taoist chief to drink together in the future is to invite the Taoist to drink together. â
But he didn't know that once Xu Xian left, what was the use of staying comfortably?
However, An Yi didn't plan to say anything, and when he arched his hand, he said: "Thank you for your understanding, and I will say goodbye!"
After speaking, he walked out of the yamen and caught up with Xu Xian and Li Gongfu in front. (To be continued)
