Shao Yun'an said weakly: "Brother Jing, you take Brother Qing back home, my feet are a little soft, quickly give him hot water, and then feed him a bowl of ginger soup, and ask Grandpa Sun to take a look, I will slow down first slow."
Forcefully kissed Shao Yunan on the head, Wang Shijing picked up Wang Qing and Wang Ni and ran home with big strides, Aunt Wang went to help Shao Yunan, Shao Yunan shook his head at her: "I'm afraid, I can't stand up, I slowly .”
"You take a break, I'll go over."
Fourth Aunt Wang didn't care about Shao Yun'an for the time being, and called Aunt Zhou and others to chase Wang Shijing. At this time, someone needs to help.
A person came over and helped Shao Yun'an, who was paralyzed on the ground because of fear, to his feet. Shao Yun'an turned around, surprised. The other party helped him to sit down on a nearby rock, and asked the onlookers who were suddenly quiet because of his appearance: "Who can tell me what's going on."
Ben, officer
My officer
My officer? !
"This is the county magistrate! You don't kneel down when you see him!" Another person who stayed beside Jiang county magistrate shouted. The villagers collectively shuddered, knelt down and shouted, "My lord!"
How could the county magistrate be in their Xiushui Village? ! ah! Could it be that the county magistrate came to look for Wang Shijing? ! Is this Wang Shijing's family really on good terms with the county magistrate? !
"Get up." County magistrate Jiang sat down beside Shao Yun'an and asked, "Which one will tell me what's going on first?"
Tang Genshu came out from the crowd, knelt down and said, "My lord, the younger one saw Wang Zaizheng and the three children stop Wang Qing and Wang Ni, and made a move after a while. Later, Wang Zaizheng pushed Wang Qing into the river. "
Shao Yunan almost gritted his teeth. In fact, Wang Zaizheng was only seven months younger than Wang Qing. Wang Qing was malnourished since he was a child. Wang Zaizheng was stronger and taller than him. The other party was four boys. Wang Qing wanted to take care of his younger sister. Thinking of what might happen at that time, Shao Yun'an wanted to drag Wang Zaizheng over and throw him directly into the river.
County Magistrate Jiang asked, "You rescued Wang Qing?"
"It's Brother Tianbao."
Shao Yun'an was very surprised, is it Zhou Tianbao? Another villager came out: "My lord, it was Zhou Tianbao. He was the closest at that time. Wang Qing fell into the water. Wang Ni cried loudly. Zhou Tianbao jumped into the water and rescued Wang Qing when he heard it."
"Where is Zhou Tianbao?"
"Go back to your lord, Zhou Tianbao has gone home and changed his clothes."
Shao Yun'an whispered, "My lord, Zhou Tianbao's brain was burnt out when he was a child, just like a child."
County magistrate Jiang nodded, he understood, and he couldn't ask anything like this. He looked around: "Where is Xiushui Village?"
"My lord, my subordinates are here."
Li Zheng can be regarded as a small official, so he doesn't need to call himself a "grassman" in front of the county magistrate.
County magistrate Jiang: "My officer sees you go and bring Wang Zaizheng and his family, the three children with him and their family for questioning."
"Yes." Li Zheng turned to Tang Genshu, "Do you know who those three boys are?"
Tang Genshu nodded, and someone beside him said, "I recognize it too."
"You come with me." Li Zheng took away the people who were present at that time, and also took away a dozen strong men. The county magistrate is here, this matter is not simply a matter of the clan, but a matter of Xiushui Village. It is useless for the patriarch to plead for mercy. Both Wang Wen and Wang Shuping were in the crowd, Wang Wenhe's face was pale, and the Wang family was once again directly humiliated in front of the county magistrate. He didn't understand why that family couldn't live in peace!
While waiting for someone to come, County Magistrate Jiang asked the people around him: "Yun An, what method did you use to save Brother Qing just now?"
His title made Shao Yun'an flattered, and also surprised the villagers. The relationship between the county magistrate and Ishii's family is so close
Shao Yun calmed down and said: "My lord, this method is called 'artificial respiration'. I have seen others use it on drowning people before. I just used it on Brother Qing in a hurry. I didn't expect it to work. If my lord If I find it useful, I can find someone to draw it and show it to adults."
"Very useful. Is this only for drowning people?"
"Well, I think it can be used for people who suddenly stop breathing. Sometimes a dead horse is a living horse doctor, but you can't give up if you have any hope." Shao Yunan squeezed his palms and smiled bitterly. Soft."
County magistrate Jiang nodded: "Okay, I will send someone to find you later, and you can draw this method of artificial respiration."
"yes."
At this time, Lizheng led people to escort Mrs. Wang's family over, together with Wang Zaizheng who was crying, and the other three children and their families. When they saw the county magistrate, they first knelt down, and then They began to cry for injustice, especially Mrs. Wang's voice was the loudest.
"Shut up!" County magistrate Jiang's subordinates shouted angrily, and the scene fell silent.
The subordinate who was sent by Jiang County Magistrate to investigate also came back and said directly: "My lord, my subordinates have found out that the young boy Wang Zaizheng and three other children of the same age in his family were hostile to Wang Qing and Wang Ni. Wang Zaizheng said at that time Shout to kill Wang Qing and Wang Ni."
County magistrate Jiang narrowed his eyes, and Mrs. Wang opened her mouth and shouted, "Your Excellency, you are wronged! Brother Zheng is only five years old, how could he kill someone?"
County magistrate Jiang said: "If you wantonly disturb this official's handling of the case, slap your mouth."
Mrs. Wang shrank back, not daring to speak out. Wang Zhisong looked anxious, hating his nephew Wang Zaizheng in his heart, why is the county magistrate here!
County magistrate Jiang: "You continue."
The subordinate continued: "The subordinate asked the three children, and all three said that Wang Zaizheng told them to teach Wang Qing and Wang Ni a lesson, because they thought Wang Qing and Wang Ni's fathers, Wang Shijing and Shao Yun'an, had harmed their parents. He was imprisoned, and threatened to kill Wang Qing and Wang Ni to avenge his parents, and said that with his uncle Wang Zhisong, the patriarch would not intervene."
"Oh?" County magistrate Jiang looked at the trembling Wang Zhisong, but asked, "Which one is the patriarch of the Wang clan?"
The patriarch of the royal family trembled, looked down and walked out of the crowd: "The grass people are here."
"Patriarch Wang, I would like to ask you, why did Wang Zaizheng say that even if he killed someone with his brother-in-law, the head of your clan would not intervene? Or, in your Wang clan, the clan rules are greater than mine To the law?"
"My lord, spare me!" The royal patriarch knelt down.
Wang Shuping couldn't bear his father's punishment, so he rushed out and knelt down: "My lord, Wang Shuping, this is my father. You can testify that my father never said such a thing. Even if my father may be biased, he will never cover up a murderer. Please be clear, my lord." !"
Shao Yun'an said: "My lord, although the patriarch thinks that Wang Zhisong is good at studying, he will never sit back and watch the clansmen kill people. A child like Wang Zaizheng would say such things. He must have heard something and thinks so."
Wang Shuping was so grateful to Shao Yun'an.
"Both of you, get up."
Wang Shuping helped his father to stand up. County magistrate Jiang looked at the three trembling children beside their parents, and asked seriously: "Although you three are young, but you are so cruel at such a young age, it is hard for your three parents to say goodbye." It's your fault. Even if I don't punish you because you are young, I still want to punish your parents. If the three of you don't want your parents to be punished for your faults, you should tell me exactly what happened to Wang Zaizheng. told you?"
"My lord! Zaizheng would never say such words, they must be talking nonsense!" Wang Zhisong pre-empted the attack with a guilty conscience.
County magistrate Jiang's eyes turned cold: "Slap your mouth."
Wang Zhisong paled: "My lord! The student is Tong Shenglang!"
"Slap the mouth thirty!"
A subordinate went to hold down Wang Zhisong, and slapped his bow left and right. Mrs. Wang was going to stop her, so she heard the county magistrate Jiang say: "Those who block it, thirty big boards!"
Mrs. Wang was crying, but she didn't dare to move.
Not to mention being slapped on the mouth since he was a child, Wang Zhisong has never been touched by a single finger. After thirty slaps, Wang Zhisong passed out with blood on his eyelids. Mrs. Wang threw herself on him with a cry, but she didn't dare to cry. The villagers were so frightened by the county magistrate's anger that they did not dare to move, and Shao Yun'an did not expect that magistrate Jiang would slap Wang Zhisong.
The county magistrate looked at the three children again, and the parents of the three children hurriedly asked the children to tell the truth, for fear that the thirty slaps would hit their faces in the next moment.
The three children cried and said what they said. Wang Zaizheng was able to go to class, and there was an uncle at home who could take the exam. There must have been children who flattered him. These three children were Wang Zaizheng's followers. Wang Tianyan and Guo Zhaodi were sent to prison. The old lady scolded at home, and he blamed Wang Qing and Wang Ni for the grudge. Mrs. Wang and Wang Zhisong had nothing to do with Wang Shijing and Shao Yunan for the time being, so Wang Zaizheng wanted to get it back from Wang Qing and Wang Ni.
Mrs. Wang, Guo Zhaodi, and Wang Chunxiu never concealed their plan to sell Wang Ni. Wang Zaizheng said that, and Wang Zhisong also said after he came back this time that he would take revenge on Wang Shijing and Shao Yunan when he was admitted to fame. For Wang Zaizheng, it was a matter of time before his uncle got a good name in the exam, and the patriarch was facing their family. There was a uncle and a patriarch, and it would be fine for him to kill Wang Qing and Wang Ni. No matter how old the county magistrate is, can he be older than his uncle who will be the number one scholar in the future and become an official in the capital? His brother-in-law said that the county magistrate will leave after a few years, and it will not be easy to crush Wang Shijing's family to death by then.
Leaving aside the county magistrate Jiang's expression after hearing this, Wang Wenhe almost died, and the others all looked disgusted as they wished to be far away from Wang Dali's family. Mrs. Wang yelled and was about to beat the three children. County magistrate Jiang issued an order: "Disturb this official's handling of the case, and refuse to change after repeated orders. Thirty slaps!"
"yes!"
"Oh! My lord!"
The two subordinates didn't bring boards, so they found two shoulder poles and started the execution. Mrs. Wang was beaten until she screamed, but no one dared to intercede with her, and few people were willing to intercede with her. Neither Wang Dali nor Wang Chunxiu dared to make a sound. County magistrate Jiang looked at Mrs. Wang coldly. Shao Yunan pleaded softly: "My lord, stop beating, I don't want Brother Jing to be difficult to do in the village."
County magistrate Jiang was unmoved, and raised his voice and said: "I have warned Wang Zhisong before to restrain his family, but now I see them getting worse. If you speculate on my actions, treat human life like nothing, even more Boldly defaming the imperial court's imperial examinations, as a mother, she is not strict with her son, and treats my orders as nothing. If I didn't think of her seniority, it would be no exaggeration to chop off her head. Hit!"
After the thirty boards were played, Mrs. Wang also passed out.
County magistrate Jiang looked at the head of the royal family and Li Zheng: "Today's matter is very clear. This case involves children. According to the law of our dynasty, I will not punish them, but as their father and mother, they cannot escape the responsibility. They One is a villager of Xiushui Village, and the other is a member of the Wang clan. Considering that Wang Qing is no longer in danger of life, I entrust them to you for disposal. I hope you two can deal with them fairly. Asylum, wanton."
"My lord, forgive me, my lord, appease your anger." Li Zheng quickly knelt down.
With Wang Shuping's support, Wang Wenhe also knelt down: "The grass people are ashamed."
County magistrate Jiang stood up, looked coldly at Wang Zhisong who looked like a dead man, and said, "I will write to the magistrate to remove Wang Zhisong's status as Tong Shenglang. Tell him that he doesn't need to go to the county school anymore."
There was an uproar at the scene, Wang Dali swayed and sat slumped on the ground, Wang Chunxiu was completely dumbfounded, County Magistrate Jiang didn't bother to look at them, and turned to Shao Yun'an: "Maybe he left?"
Shao Yunan looked up and stood up: "It can be done."
"Then go back."
"yes."
Shao Yunan brought the magistrate Jiang back, and everyone watched the magistrate leave with Shao Yunan, everyone was terrified, and when the magistrate Jiang and Shao Yunan disappeared, Lizheng ordered with a dark face: "Patriarch Wang, these are all your clansmen, all Take it to Wang's ancestral hall!"
Wang Wenhe was speechless, so Wang Shuping said on his behalf: "Take them all away!"
There was a burst of crying, and even Wang Zhisong and Mrs. Wang, who had passed out, were carried over.
After returning home and closing the courtyard door, Shao Yun'an bowed deeply to County Magistrate Jiang: "Master Xie for making decisions for my family of four!" Regardless of County Magistrate Jiang's purpose, at this moment, he is extremely grateful.
The county magistrate Jiang regained his gentleness and said, "Go and see how the child is doing. If it wasn't because of me, brother Qing would be fine."
"My lord, you are wrong. If your lord is not here today, I am afraid that this matter will not be settled. You have heard just now, my lord, that Wang Zaizheng has been looking for opportunities to hurt Brother Qing and Nizi, and it is hard to guard against it."
"Yun'an, my lord." Wang Shijing came out of the house, and County Magistrate Jiang immediately asked, "How is the child?"
Wang Shijing didn't wear an eyepatch, and his left eye was still a little red. He said, "I soaked in hot water, drank ginger soup and medicine, and fell asleep. Nizi also fell asleep."
Shao Yun'an immediately said: "Brother Jing, your lord has just decided for us."
Wang Shijing bowed immediately: "Thank you, sir!"
"This is what I should do."
County magistrate Jiang told Wang Shijing and Shao Yun'an not to be too polite. Shao Yun'an looked at Wang Qing and Nizi's room and asked in a low voice, "Where are Aunt Si and the others?"
"Just left."
Shao Yun'an breathed out: "I have to thank Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou very much. It was Zhou Tianbao who rescued Brother Qing. Gen Shu first noticed something was wrong and called someone in time."
Wang Shijing nodded, his body muscles were still tense, and his anger obviously had not subsided.
County magistrate Jiang said: "Since the child is fine, then the official will go back. You two can settle the family affairs and then go to the county government to find the official."
Shao Yun'an hurriedly said: "My lord is not in a hurry to go back. The child is mainly frightened. It will be fine in two days. Now that your lord is here, please come in and have a seat. You haven't finished your cup of tea yet."
Wang Shijing also said: "Your Excellency, let's go in and sit down. Brother Qing is going to sleep for a while after drinking the medicine, and the doctor in the village also said that he will be fine after a few days of recuperation. Originally, Yun'an and I planned to visit Your Excellency today."
Seeing that the two were not in vain, County Magistrate Jiang followed them into the house, and Shao Yunan asked Wang Shijing to bring over his tea stove and purple sand teapot. After Wang Shijing brought it, Shao Yun'an boiled water and made a cup of golden silk chrysanthemum for magistrate Jiang. Wang Shijing sat beside Shao Yun'an, his breath was still suppressed, Shao Yun'an didn't shy away from it, held his hand and comforted him.
