After a while, he regained his mood and said to Lou Qingyi: "Oh, we have to continue the conversation just now..."
"You must be curious as to why we went to great lengths to get you here? Hehe..."
"Even now, I'm not afraid to tell you..."
As he spoke, the door curtain of the room was lifted up from the outside. It was the servant who just left and returned.
The man hurriedly greeted him, and the two whispered a few words together.
The man's face became more and more gloomy. The servant walked out first. The man looked back at Lou Qingyi, who was lying on the wooden collapse, and said bitterly: "It seems that the time is not right today. I will wait until I finish my work outside.
I’m telling you these things. Come here, give her some new clothes, dress her up neatly, serve her well, and don’t neglect her!”
"Yes, yes..." The two maids waiting outside the door quickly came in and agreed repeatedly.
The man tossed his sleeves and walked out.
……
At the south gate of Ziling County, the soldiers guarding the gate looked at the city gate in disbelief with wide eyes.
A carriage was driving slowly, followed by three men in ragged clothes and bruises. There was a tall horse in front of and behind the carriage, and a young man on each horse. The man in front had a picturesque face and was almost more beautiful than the woman. Behind him was a young man.
young man
Not only the soldiers felt strange, but also the common people felt strange. Someone with good intentions followed the carriage to the city, and they talked about it one after another.
The carriage was led by a rider in front and headed directly to the county government office.
After two sticks of incense, Chu Zhixing, the magistrate of Ziling County, hurriedly came out of the back hall to welcome him. It was windy and rainy last night, and he was also in the back house with his concubine Hu, who was Xinna, and wanted to sleep in.
, but was awakened by a knock on the door from the government servant.
Mr. Chu was in a very depressed mood. He walked to the front hall with a dark face and dark circles under his eyes.
Seeing Chen Chang and Wang Huan, two young disciples, Chu Zhixing shouted sharply: "Who are you, how dare you break into the county government office?"
"You still dare to attack my government officials, are you going to rebel?"
Mr. Chu’s anger when he wakes up is not ordinary.
However, after Wang Huan revealed her identity, Mr. Chu's feet suddenly felt weak and his waist felt sore. He reached out and slapped the person who reported the message hard, shifting the responsibility to this unlucky government official.
Chen Chang was very eloquent and could explain a case clearly in a short time. Mr. Chu's face darkened. It was amazing that something like this happened under his rule and was discovered by the niece of the current emperor.
?
If we don't punish those scoundrels, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my black hat.
After being promoted to the court, he gave the hall a slap in the face and shouted sternly: "You three people, why don't you recruit me truthfully!"
The handlebar type saw the three yamen servants in the lobby holding water and fire sticks in a majestic manner. He was surprised at first, but considering that this was the Ziling County yamen, not Jiangling, he felt that Chen Chang and Wang Huan were playing tricks on him, and he felt unhappy.
, he took the opportunity to call out to Chuang Tianqu: "Master Qingtian, I am really unjust..."
Tall people and short people also cried out for injustice.
Mr. Chu frowned: "This county is asking you questions, but you don't answer. Instead, you cry out for injustice. Humph, if you continue to be such a scoundrel, don't blame me for serving you with severe punishment."
When he said this, the three people shouted even louder.
Dozens of people at the entrance of the lobby were knocking on the door and looking inside. He couldn't abuse the punishment. He had just threatened the three of them. At this time, the three of them simply acted like bachelors. For a while, there was nothing they could do, so they had to first
Let them express their "grievances".
"It rained all night last night, and an employer asked us to pick up a woman and promised to give us three thousand bucks when the job was done. The three of us were already living in poverty. How could we miss such a good business opportunity?"
, so I agreed. Unexpectedly, these two people intercepted us halfway, insisting that we were human traffickers, and even injured two of my brothers..."
He waved his hand, and the tall and the short climbed up a few steps on their knees, and each showed the wound to Magistrate Chu.
Chen Chang and Wang Huan watched quietly, the behavior of these three rogues was already expected.
However, what happened in the next scene caught them both by surprise.
The woman actually retracted her confession.
According to her statement, it was completely different from what she said when she was rescued in the rainy night. Instead, she insisted that the three people were here to pick her up.
"Oh? Is that so?" Magistrate Chu said, stroking his beard, "Are you sure what he just said is true?"
The woman said with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, I swear to God, this little girl swears to God that every word of this is true."
County Magistrate Chu turned his head to look at Chen Chang and Wang Huan, and then touched his beard, with a very embarrassed look on his face.
It's also difficult for Mr. Chu. Although he is the magistrate of Ziling County, he goes to court to ask questions and in front of so many people, so naturally he cannot obviously favor Wang Huan.
After hearing this, Wang Huan couldn't help but angrily said to the woman: "That's not what you said last night. The three of them are obviously the gangsters who kidnapped you. Do you still want to protect them?"
The woman wiped away her tears: "I saw you two holding sharp knives and hurt three of them. I was extremely frightened. Naturally, I could only follow your instructions."
Chen Chang sneered secretly after hearing this. This should have been a drama that had been arranged a long time ago, but he was in a hurry last night and didn't think much about it, so he was blinded by this woman's acting skills.
Wang Huan's beautiful eyes widened with anger, and she was about to walk in front of the woman, but Chen Chang reached out and pulled the sleeves of her robe.
Magistrate Chu took the woman and the three thugs separately for questioning. After questioning, he found out that the woman's name and address were exactly the same as what the three thugs said.
The four of them were taken to the lobby again, and they said with a handle: "Back to the lord, everything I said is true, and I dare not deceive the lord Qingtian. I just want to make money to support my family. As for the kidnapping they said, it is purely
It’s a frame-up. We were hurt for no reason, yet we ask the great master to make the decision for the villain!”
The other two rogues also cried and cried in agreement.
Magistrate Chu was not confused at all. One look at the faces of these three people and he knew that they were not good birds. Those who said they were making money to support their families were probably lying.
He pondered for a long time and said: "According to you, you are innocent?"
"Your Majesty, please be aware! The villain is just doing normal business. He has always abided by the law and never dared to have evil thoughts or do anything illegal or indiscipline. Please be aware of it and give justice to the villain!"
County Magistrate Chu looked at Wang Huan, his brows knitted together. On one side were relatives of the emperor, and on the other side were solid witnesses, which put him as a county magistrate in a dilemma.
Chen Chang also saw the difficulty of Magistrate Chu, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there are many implication and doubts involved in this case, I think it is better..."
County Magistrate Chu didn't know Chen Chang's true identity, but when he saw him with Wang Huan, he naturally didn't dare to look down upon him. When he saw Wang Huan nodding slightly, he had an idea in his mind and was stunned.
