Xu Qing stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "As government officials, how can you be so cruel to a child?! Even if it is the county captain's order, you can handle it easily, so why do you do this?"
After all, Xu Qing has been in this line of work, so he naturally knows some rules. He only verbally agrees to the things ordered by his superiors, but if he really does it, the effect will be half and half.
Even with the county captain's orders, how could they beat a child like this?
It seems that if Liu Wanyan had not stopped them in time, the mother and son would have been beaten even more severely.
And she is a temptress in one mouthful. Have you ever seen such a helpless temptress?
If she really was a temptress, would they still be alive?
Are they really trapped by superstition, or do they need to find a reasonable reason to unleash the evil in their hearts unbridled?
The leader of the police said, "This is a temptress. What kind of good thing can a temptress' child be? We have our own rules for how we handle things."
"Witch?" Xu Qing frowned and said, "Why do you say that?"
The leader of the police quickly snorted: "I have given birth to two stupid children in a row. What is she if she is not a witch? This is what the county captain said personally. How can I allow you, a commoner, to say anything? If you know your senses, please leave!"
Xiao Ruxue said: "What if we want to take care of it?!"
The leader of the police quickly snorted: "You really don't shed tears until you see the coffin. Come on! Take them to the Yamen and send someone to ask the county captain to come and take care of them!"
Xiao Ruxue didn't care at all and said: "Just go, I'm afraid of you!"
At this moment, the door to the side opened and a middle-aged man walked out: "I asked you to drive this temptress away. Why is she still near my residence?"
From the tone of his voice, it was obvious that he was the county captain of Gu County.
As soon as this person came out, the people watching around him backed away a lot and did not dare to get close.
County magistrates are generally appointed as county magistrates after passing the imperial examination, but county captains are not.
County captains are generally appointed directly from the local area and are people with a certain reputation in the local area.
The leader quickly raised his hands and said, "Lord County Captain, someone is causing trouble!"
The lieutenant of Gu County asked: "Who is making trouble?"
The leading police officer pointed at Xu Qing and others and said, "Report to your lord, it's them!"
The lieutenant of Gu County said in a deep voice: "Are you the ones making trouble in front of my gate?"
Xu Qing said: "It's not about making trouble, I just want to seek justice for this woman and child."
"Justice?" The Gu County magistrate sneered: "Do you know that this is a temptress who just gave birth to two stupid children in a row and even killed her first son? Do you want to seek justice for such a person?
What justice can this man do?”
As he spoke, the Gu County magistrate looked at the beggar woman and continued: "What are you still doing here? Get your scoundrel and get out of here! Do you still want to kill my newborn grandson?"
The beggar woman shook her head, with tears on her face, and said in a tearful tone: "Er Bao said he missed his father, so I took him to take a look at it from a distance..."
The county lieutenant of Gu County snorted: "Where did your evil son come from? Don't blame me for being ruthless if you dare to visit relatives again! If you dare to come here again, I will have your legs broken!"
At this point, the case has actually entered a stage where it is difficult for upright officials to resolve household affairs.
Originally, this beggar woman was the daughter-in-law of the Guxian County Lieutenant, or a niece, but now she gave birth to two stupid children in succession to the Guxian County Lieutenant's son. She was considered a witch and kicked out.
But this beggar woman refused to stay away and had nowhere to go. She had to bring a stupid child with her to beg for a living. However, everyone in Gu County thought this woman was an ominous temptress, and few people were willing to give her food.
money.
To say that the county captain of Gu County was too much, he was brought up little by little as a child bride. During this period, he never treated her badly. Even before they had children, they were considered a loving couple.
It is not too much to say that he named this woman a temptress, so that she could not find a job in Gu County and had to beg for a living.
…
Xu Qing said: "This is not the reason for you to instruct your subordinates to beat children. Abuse of power should be dismissed and investigated according to the law. If the situation is true, he will be deprived of honor and sentenced to seven to ten years in prison. If the circumstances are serious, he will be executed."
The county lieutenant of Gu County was slightly startled when he heard this and looked at Xu Qing: "You are so proficient in the law? Who are you?"
Xu Qing said: "Unfortunately, I happened to be a police officer last year and saw some things."
The lieutenant of Gu County said in a deep voice: "Did you know that she is a temptress who kills children?!"
Xu Qing said disdainfully: "What does it mean to kill a child? When I was a policeman, not only did I kill a child while I was serving as a county lieutenant, but I also killed a state commander. I didn't see anyone have any objections to me."
Xiao Ruxue on the side was stunned: "Then shouldn't your boss be the head catcher? The county captain is dead, so what about the head catcher?"
Xu Qing said: "The head catcher is still raising his baby at home..."
Xiao Ruxue nodded blankly: "Yes, I almost forgot, your captor is Sister Su..."
When the county lieutenant of Gu County heard this man brazenly saying that he had killed the county lieutenant, he said in a deep voice: "Are you provoking me?"
Xu Qingshi said honestly, "No, no, no, I'm just stating the facts."
At this moment, a young man in casual clothes came over and asked, "What are you doing around here?"
When the county lieutenant of Gu County heard the sound, he quickly raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, someone is making trouble in front of Xiaguan's gate."
"Making trouble?" The magistrate of Gu County asked, "Who is making trouble?"
The lieutenant of Gu County pointed at Xu Qing and said: "It's them!"
The magistrate of Gu County was slightly startled when he followed the hand of the magistrate of Gu County, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face: "Brother Xu?!"
When Xu Qing heard this and looked over, he was also startled: "Brother Dong?"
Xu Qing also didn't expect that the magistrate of Gu County turned out to be Dong Hao, the son of Dong Song, the current Minister of Household Affairs.
Xu Qing remembered clearly that Dong Hao was one of his ardent fans at that time and was pestering him for poems.
If you can come here to be a county magistrate, it seems that you should be a Jinshi.
The county magistrate of Gu County couldn't help being stunned when he saw this scene: "It's over, how come the county magistrate and this person actually know each other..."
Dong Hao seemed to suddenly remember something. He quickly took a few steps back, bowed down and said, "No, now I should call you Lord Marquis. I have met the Marquis of Anding County."
As Xu Qing's number one male fan, Dong Hao naturally pays attention to Xu Qing's news. A few days ago, he became the youngest marquis in the history of Chu State, which is really hard to compare to.
As soon as the county magistrate said these words, the people around him were shocked to the extreme, especially the county magistrate of Gu County who was speechless.
Didn't he say last year that he was still a county captain? Why did he become a marquis in the mouth of the county magistrate?
Is there such a young prince?
Xu Qing helped Dong Hao up and said: "These are just false names, no need to be formal."
"It should, it should." Dong Song just straightened up and looked at the little girl standing next to Xu Qing, and he almost knelt down:
