Zu An was taken aback, he never expected that he would deal with people from the Yamen.
Did I commit something? What can I do
He was stunned at this moment. Those government officials had already locked him with chains and shackles. Fortunately, he was now with the guards of the Chu Mansion. How could he be taken in such an unclear manner, not to mention that he had just taken his silver yesterday. .
"Zuan, are you trying to resist arrest?" the head catcher who took the lead said in a cold voice.
Zuan finally came back to his senses. The time in this world is not short. He also knows the power of the imperial government, but he is unwilling to bear the reputation of resisting arrest. He stepped forward and asked the Chu family guard to stop: "If you want to take it, I must have a The reason, you guys came to me to set the iron chain without knowing it, so you have to let me know what's going on, right?"
"If you want people to know what they can do," the head catcher pointed aside, "Don't you hear it?"
Zuan looked back and was shocked. A large group of under-represented people rushed here, holding up banners one by one, shouting in indignation:
"Murder pays for life, murder pays for life!"
"The Chu family oppressed the people and condoned the uncle's murder!"
…
On the banner was written some slogans, such as "The way of heaven is good, the great Zhou has the law", "The heart of the people is good, and everyone will avenge the revenge."
Zuan frowned, and at that moment he understood that he should have fallen into a huge conspiracy.
At this moment, the Chu family, Chu Chuyan and others all rushed out after hearing the news. Chu also recruited because he wanted to recuperate, so he didn't need to go to the college today, so he rested at home, and Chu Zhongtian didn't let her come out.
"What the hell happened!" Chu Zhongtian sent someone to stop the "excited" crowd, while coldly looking at the head-catcher.
Facing Chu Zhongtian, his head-catching attitude was much better in an instant: "Back to Mingyue Gong, Zu'an is suspected of murdering Cao Yangwei, a commoner, Meihua Twelve, and Meihua Thirteen. The Lord of the City ordered me to come and arrest him."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the Chu family was shocked. Meihua Twelve and Meihua Thirteen were the powerful backbones of the Meihua Gang. That's fine. Although Yang Wei is not of a high rank, he is an upright imperial court. The appointed Hu Cao official, his death was not trivial.
Zuan's thoughts also changed sharply. Regardless of whether Meihua Thirteen or Yang Wei had a grudge against him, these people died, and it seemed that the other party had come prepared.
"Naughty, Azu has been in my house, how could he go to kill people!" Chu Zhongtian didn't know that this was a framing.
The head catcher replied: "We are also following orders, and we hope Mingyue Gong will not embarrass us errands."
Seeing these officials show weakness, the surrounding crowd suddenly shouted:
"Is the Chu family sheltering the murderer?"
"Can the Chu family not be punished if they commit a crime?"
"Where is the law of my Great Zhou!"
…
The common people are always easy to be incited, and seeing the suffering of officials and the rich, most people will subconsciously clap their hands and applaud, hoping that the more unlucky the better, this is human nature.
Chu Zhongtian's eyelids twitched. He knew that if this matter is not handled well, it is not a trivial matter to accidentally lead to civil upheaval: "Okay, I will go back to the county office with you, but I want to see how you plan to try this case. ."
He patted Zu'an on the shoulder: "Azu, you don't have to worry, I am here, and you will never be wronged." After all, he is a dignified duke. With him overseeing, the other party can never be convicted indiscriminately.
Zu An's heart warmed, thinking that this cheap father-in-law was really good.
Next, Chu Zhongtian asked Qin Wanru to sit in the Chu Mansion, ready to support him at any time, and he took a group of guards to the county office.
Chu Chuyan on the side also followed silently, but was stopped by Zuan, and whispered: "You help me find someone, and then you will say these things..."
Chu Chuyan was taken aback, and finally nodded, turned and disappeared among the crowd.
Cheng Shouping also approached eagerly: "Auntie Aunt, is there anything I can do to help
"Yes!" Zuan replied.
Cheng Shou Ping's eyes lit up: "What?"
"Close your mouth."
"Oh~"
The attribute of this guy's scam, Zuan will not put such an important thing in his hands unless he is impatient. On the contrary, Chu Chuyan has made him feel more at ease. As for Cheng Shoubo, he will use it for disgusting enemies in the future. It's not too late.
Because there was Chu Zhongtian on the side, the government officials didn't insist on shackling Zuan, and a group of people went straight to the county government.
When they got there, the city lord Xie Yi and the county lieutenant Pang Chun went out to greet them in person: "What brings the Mingyue Gong to come."
Chu Zhongtian snorted, "You have all sent people to my house to get people, can I not come personally?"
Xie Yi smiled bitterly: "Today someone came directly to the county government to beat the drums and complain about injustice, and Hu Cao was still dead. Can I not be promoted?"
"Who is playing the drums and complaining?" Chu Zhongtian asked in a deep voice, he always wanted to figure out who the secret enemy was.
As a group of people walked in, Xie Yi whispered: "Yang Wei's widow, and relatives of Meihua Twelve and Meihua Thirteen, and Mei Chaofeng is also here."
Chu Zhongtian narrowed his eyes: "It seems that the Meihua Gang is going to completely turn a face with the Chu family, and I don't know where it's emboldened."
Xie Yi reminded: "Don't be careless, they seem confident by their appearance."
A group of people had already entered the county office, and Xie Yi stopped talking, and the grim expression on his face regained.
Zuan quickly observed the surroundings, and saw two huge banners above the lobby that read the words "Honorable Law, Virtue and Strict Law", instantly revealing a solemn and majestic atmosphere.
Xie Yi and Pang Chun returned to the hall and sat in their respective positions. On both sides of the lobby, there were two rows of government officials holding fire and water sticks just like the ancient costume TV series they had watched before, giving people a sense of inexplicable depression.
There were a few men and women kneeling down in the hall. One of the middle-aged women was Yang Wei's wife, looking at the clothes and materials, and there were also a few farmers who looked like farmers, mostly from Meihua No. 12 and No. 13.
Mei Chaofeng stood aside, her eyes full of pride and coldness when she looked at her, as if she was looking at a dead person.
Zuan smiled slightly, but I want to see what you guys have.
"Now that the plaintiffs and defendants are all here, the officer..." Xie Yi was about to shoot the javelin to announce the start of the interrogation. Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the door, and the bureaucrats had already come to inform him.
"The prefect, here comes!"
Xie Yi was taken aback, and Pang Chun and other subordinate officials hurriedly got up to greet him. Sang Hong's laughter sounded at the door: "Master Xie doesn't have to get up. Now you are the biggest in the courtroom, I just stop by and take a look."
Chu Zhongtian snorted, and his tone became less polite: "Master Sang, you are everywhere." Yesterday it was obvious that Sang Hong was helping the Yuan family, and today he came to deal with his son-in-law, even if he is a clay figure, he has three points. anger.
Sang Hong was not annoyed, and smiled slightly: "I was supposed to go back to the office today, but when I heard that there was a disturbance in the city, I knew it was about the Duke's Mansion after inquiring. The court of the Great Zhou dynasty favored the law, and officials protected each other. Mingyue Gong shouldn't mind."
When the other party used the law to suppress him, Chu Zhongtian said lightly: "The clear is clear. If someone wants to make the white talk black, I won't just ignore it."
Sanghong laughed and said, "This is nature, this is nature. Everything is handled impartially. I believe Master Xie can do it."
Xie Yi scolded the old fox secretly, but he also knew that people like Sang Hong would never leave any handles, so as long as he handles it impartially, neither side can say anything.
At this moment, Zu'an's voice rang: "It's all right for the Lord Prefect to come and listen. I don't know what the identity of this Young Master Shi is. What qualifications does he have to listen here?"
His sharp eyes immediately noticed Shi Kun who was coming with Sang Hong, and it seemed as expected.
Shi Kun said indifferently: "My father is Dasima..."
Before he finished speaking, Zuan interrupted: "I was asking if you have an official position, what are you doing with your dad? Open your mouth, my dad, shut up, my dad, don’t you know anything but your dad? Something?"
"You!" Shi Kun's handsome face suddenly flushed red. With his family background, coupled with his daily reputation, he would be treated as a VIP no matter where he went on weekdays. How could anyone dare to expose his shortcomings in person like this.
The anger from Shi Kun is +500!
"What you, you, me, me, mine, don't say hello to the teacher, don't you need to say hello? Is this the Shi family's tutor?" Zuan's mouth kept outputting like a machine gun.
Shi Kun was a little dizzy, did he come to interrogate him today or interrogate himself
The anger value from Shi Kun is +653!
"Asshole, is the reputation of the Shi family something you can insult as a yellow-haired kid!" Shi Lezhi behind him stepped forward angrily, and a powerful pressure spread out.
Chu Zhongtian flicked his hand, and the pressure suddenly eased. He said faintly: "Your Excellency would have come to the wrong place if you want to play a mighty prestige. Besides, what Azu said is not wrong. After all, he is a teacher of Mingyue College. Rule Shi Gongzi should be a disciple when he meets him."
Shi Kun's face flushed red, and he only felt aggrieved badly, but he couldn't make him honor his disciple respectfully in front of so many people.
Xue Er, who followed him, originally wanted to defend the son, but she was inexplicably guilty when faced with the former owner of the family, and she didn't dare to speak.
Fortunately, Sang Hong said: "Now Zuan is the defendant after all. Before the suspicion is cleared, it is a bit wrong to be a teacher. I don't think those etiquettes are necessary for the time being. As for Shi Gongzi, there is no official position now. It’s not appropriate to come in and watch, just watch it at the door."
He played fifty boards each, and no one could say anything.
It's just that when Shi Kun thought that he could sit in the hall and watch the show, but now he was squeezed with a group of ordinary people, his heart was very frustrated. Fortunately, Shi Lezhi quietly turned on his aura so that everyone around him couldn't get close. .
But this is the case, Shi Kun's expression is still terribly gloomy.
The surname is ancestor, let you be proud of it for a while, and you won’t be able to cry after a while!
The anger value from Shi Kun is +444!
"Quiet!" At this moment, Xie Yi saw Chu Zhongtian and Sang Hong sitting down, and he shot the gavel, "Zu'an, you are convicted!"
Zuan spread his hands: "What is my sin?"
At this time, the luxuriously dressed middle-aged woman pointed at him and cursed: "You, surnamed Zu, are so cruel. Before, my husband only clashed with you in the college. As a result, you are still not satisfied with occupying his teaching position. , He was killed by a poisonous man, Master Qingtian, you have to call the shots for me."
Seeing the woman howling and crying, Zuan didn't have any mood swings at all, and said lightly, "What does it matter to me that Yang Wei is dead?"
At this time, Xie Yi coughed: "Because Master Yang left his last words in blood before he died, indicating that you are the murderer."
