Chapter 23: Criminals are apprehended

Views:

As soon as Xu Qi'an stepped into the county office, he heard a crying voice: "Big Brother"

It was Xu Lingyue, who was wearing a light blue robe and stood slim. Her beautiful and fair face was still full of tears, and her eyes were red and swollen, like a lovely little flower.

Xu Lingyin was not seen beside her, probably in the side hall.

Xu Qi'an nodded slightly and gave her a calm look.

The magistrate Zhu, who had already received the news, was sitting at the table before the case, and saw the yamen escorting a group of people in, and saw the angered young man in brocade.

Lao Zhu was startled, and hurriedly got up to greet him.

"Oh, isn't this Zhou Gongzi, how is Zhou Shilang?"

Young Master Jinyi waved his sleeves violently, forcing the county magistrate Zhu away, pointing at Xu Qi'an, and said viciously: "This person is murdering in the street and wants to kill me, so quickly take him down."

"The words are heavy, the words are heavy." The magistrate Zhu accompanied the smiling face, turned his head, and shouted with anger: "Quick hand Xu Qi'an, don't get over here."

Xu Qi'an bravely went up to meet him.

"You bastard, even the son of Lord Zhou, the minister of household affairs, dares to fight. How many brains do you have?" Zhu County Magistrate flew and kicked Xu Qi'an, and when he turned his head, he smiled again:

"Zhou Gongzi, this is the flood that washed down the Dragon King Temple. It's all from your own family. You don't care about the villain, don't care about him."

Outside the crowd, Xu Lingyue looked at her cousin who was being blamed for herself. Tears were rolling down, and Qiong's nose, which was more delicate and delicate than ordinary women, was crimson red.

Xu Qi'an, the son of the minister of the household, sank.

In the officialdom of the Dafeng Dynasty, the power of an official depends not on his grade, but on his background and power.

There are many first- and second-rank officials, but there are actually a handful of people who really stand at the pinnacle of power.

This is the list of the six ministers and ministers.

He beat the son of Shilang Tobu, and the matter became a big one.

"You don't want to arrest people, right? I'll do it myself." Zhou Gongzi waved his hand and ordered his servants: "Arrest this kid for me."

He didn't believe it. In the county government office, this kid dared to resist the murder.

The magistrate Zhu shouted: "Whoever dares to commit violence in the county office will be shot to death."

The third class yamen rushed out, took out the Pu Dao, and put it on the neck of the squire who was about to start.

Bai Yi held a stick on guard.

"The surnamed Zhu, you dare to touch my people?" Zhou Gongzi pointed at Zhu County Magistrate's nose and cursed.

"Young Master Zhou, don't misunderstand, this official is an official of the imperial court, and he just acts according to the rules." The magistrate Zhu still licked the dog's smile and touched the spit on his face:

"This official has a lawsuit here, suing the young master for murdering and bullying a good family girl. The accuser is Xu Lingyue."

This is a method that the magistrate Zhu has prepared for a long time. If the other party is just an ordinary government office, the magistrate Zhu will find a way to make the big things small and the small things into small ones.

It just never occurred to me that the victim was the son of Shilang Tobu.

Zhou Gongzi said with a "heh", "Who is hurt by the murder? Bullying a good family girl, the surnamed Zhu, you go to the street and ask, did I touch this woman's finger?"

"Then maybe this woman has mistaken the person." The magistrate Zhu smiled and put the lawsuit back into his sleeve.

Oops, Magistrate Zhu can't handle it, I have to find a way to save myself. If I can't do it, I will run away, but it will definitely affect the second uncle's family. Xu Qi'an was a little anxious. In this era, only the second-generation official can deal with the second-generation official, and his rank is too different from others.

Not to mention him, even if it is the second uncle, a hundred households of the Imperial Sword Guard, what is he in front of the Minister of the Ministry

Nothing.

As for regret, no, the knife is on the neck, can it be slaughtered by others

Suddenly, he saw that one of Zhou Gongzi's squires left the county office, but the magistrate Zhu did not stop him.

Xu Qixin felt a little cold again, walked to Wang Zhaotou, and whispered: "Boss, brother, I am doomed today, I want to ask you for something."

Wang Zhaotou was silent for a while, and said in a low voice, "You say it."

In the past month, the relationship between him and Xu Qi'an has grown by leaps and bounds. Every day, they go to the hook, drink flower wine together, and forge a deep friendship.

"You lend me a tael first."

Wang Zhaotou felt in his arms and found a handful of silver pieces, less than a tael.

Xu Qi'an took the broken silver and put it in his pocket, and then said: "Boss, go to my house on a horse and go to the cabinet beside my bed to get a book, a blue book, remember not to take it wrong."

The diary has a light yellow cover.

"After you get the book, immediately go to Sitianjian, find a girl named Caiwei, and give me a message: Xu Qi'an is in trouble, help me quickly."

Superintendent Sitian? ! Wang Zhaotou hesitated, "How can someone like me go to that place?"

Letting him enter the Sitian prison is equivalent to letting ordinary people enter the palace without the courage to even approach.

Xu Qi'an knew this and whispered, "If something happens to me, no one will pay you back the money."

Wang Zhaotou widened his eyes.

"Help me do this, and next month's salary will go to you."

"Xu Qi'an, your uncle's." Wang Zhaotou scolded and rushed out of the county office

Xu Pingzhi received the notice, borrowed a horse from a colleague, and rushed to Changle County Yamen.

Stepping on the threshold and entering the court, the first thing I saw was the crying and trembling daughter, followed by the yamen and servants who were arguing with each other.

Xu Pingzhi looked back, came to his daughter, and asked with a serious face, "What's going on?"

As if seeing the savior, Xu Lingyue cried even more fiercely, sobbing to tell her father what happened.

When he heard Zhou Shilang's son raised his horse's hoofs and trampled on the young girl, the corners of his eyes jumped, and his face became more and more gloomy.

"If it weren't for Big Brother, the ringtone would be gone, woohoo"

Ning Yan Xu Pingzhi looked at his nephew's figure, closed it for a few seconds, and said in a low voice, "Go to the side hall and watch the bell, don't come out."

Seeing the disappearance of his daughter Xiaopao's back, Xu Pingzhi silently stepped forward and stared at the young master in Jinyi: "Young Master Zhou, is this possible?"

Young Master Jinyi met his eyes, as if he felt a real killing intent, remembering what Xu Qi'an said on the street.

The wild words in his throat could not be squeezed out.

"Xu Baihu is such a powerful official, why, if my son doesn't give up, you still want to splatter five steps with blood?"

An old man wearing a long blue jacket with golden piping on the cuffs and neckline, and a jade pendant hanging from his waist came in through the gate of the county government office.

His hair is more white than black, his face is thin, and his eyes are sharp like a needle is hidden.

He was still at the door when he spoke, but when he finished speaking, he had already arrived at the court.

"Uncle Chen." Young Master Jin Yi was overjoyed.

"How did the young master get hurt like this? What a fucking beast. The old slave watched the young master grow up, and it was a little bit of an injury that made me feel distressed."

The old man was distressed and angry when he saw Young Master Jinyi's earlobe with blood scabs solidified.

"I told the master several times that he would give you a master of Qi realm, but he always refused on the grounds that you like to cause trouble."

"What about making trouble? It's better for others to suffer than you, young master."

Feeling that he was locked by a qi machine, Xu Pingzhi fell into the ice cellar, as if a snake was crawling across his back, he felt like he was hovering on the edge of life and death.

Similar feelings often occur when fighting on the battlefield, which makes him dare not move.

This old man is a master of refining the spirit realm.

Magistrate Zhu coughed: "You are"

"Don't dare!" The old man interrupted indifferently, "The old man is just an old slave in the Zhou family, and he can't afford to say "you" from Lord Zhu."

"Old senior is very polite." The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's gate, the old fritters in the officialdom are the most clear, and the magistrate Zhu smiled apologetically:

"It's all a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. It's all a misunderstanding. The Jingcha is just around the corner. Everyone values peace, old man, what do you think?"

The old man sneered: "A few insignificant little people can't affect the master's Jingcha. The Zhou family has always been convincing people with virtue, and everything is done according to the rules and regulations of the court."

Everyone didn't understand his words at first, until a moment later, cluttered and loud footsteps came from outside the yamen.

Then came a group of soldiers with strong determination and determination, headed by an official wearing a green robe and embroidered with white pheasant, looking around, said loudly:

"The Ministry of Punishment arrests criminals, and other people flee. If they interfere, they will be dealt with with the same crime."

After a pause, the Qingpao fifth-rank official squeezed a smile towards Zhou Gongzi: "This son, this official asks you, where is the perpetrator."

Zhou Gongzi pointed at Xu Qi'an: "Lock this shit up for me."

The Qingpao fifth-rank official waved his hand: "Take it."

The soldiers rushed up, took out the shackles, and locked Xu Qi'an.

"Sir, what's wrong with my nephew!" Xu Pingzhi was anxious.

"Whether there is a crime or not, this official has his own decision." The Qingpao fifth-grade official said lightly: "As a member of the Ministry of Punishment, I want to come here to enforce the law impartially and meticulously."

Xu Pingzhi still wanted to speak, but was held back by the magistrate Zhu.

"take away!"
