"This County Magistrate Song has gone too far!" Xu Jiaorong looked at Li Gongfu's butt and said.
Li Gongfu was also very angry.
When he locked up She Chun last night, someone reminded him.
The She family is a large family in Qiantang County, and She Ren is the sacrificial wine of Bailu Academy. The Song County Magistrate has just taken office, and he needs the support of these squire clans the most.
Locking She Chun up at this time is not a good choice.
Regardless of that, Li Gongfu locked She Chun up in the county government office.
She confessed her crime in detail.
Magistrate Song was fine at first, but when the master handed him a piece of paper, his expression changed, and the magistrate actually let She Chun go.
Li Gongfu tried to stop him, but it turned out to be a filial piety in the court.
He was beaten ten times!
"Go to Magistrate Zheng to help you get justice! The magistrate is bigger than the county magistrate!" Xu Jiaorong said angrily.
"Have a rest. The prefect and the county magistrate are both appointed by the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The county magistrate is not afraid of the prefect." Li Gongfu said helplessly to his wife.
"Go and open the door." Li Gongfu said when he heard the knock on the door.
Xu Jiaorong thought it was Xu Xian who was back.
Zhang Yange opened the door with tiger bone wine in his hand and a somewhat apologetic look on his face.
This was the first time he met Xu Jiaorong.
The woman in front of me has the gentleness of Jiangnan women, but also has a bit of fierceness hidden in her bones.
"You must be Mr. Zhang." Xu Jiaorong recognized Zhang Yange at a glance.
This is all thanks to Li Gongfu's praise.
In the past, she always felt that what Li Gongfu said was too mysterious. How could there be such a person in the world? But after seeing him, she believed it.
It turns out that there really are people like this in the world.
"Is Capt. Li at home?" Zhang Yange asked.
"Here, there." Xu Jiaorong finally realized and quickly welcomed Zhang Yange in.
Zhang Yange was taken to the back hall. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Li Gongfu crawling on the bed.
"Sorry." Zhang Yange said apologetically.
"Mr. Zhang, what are you talking about!" Li Gongfu wanted to get up.
The ten boards were hit very hard.
Magistrate Song had actually wanted to embarrass Li Gongfu for a long time. After all, he was the emperor and his ministers.
This Li Gongfu had a very high prestige among the police officers, and he was still unsophisticated. After he took office, he never showed any filial piety to him.
He asked several times, but he didn't know whether this guy really didn't understand or was pretending not to understand.
If it weren't for the fact that he needs an old man now to stabilize the situation.
He really wanted to take advantage of this time to replace Li Gongfu.
"This is tiger bone wine. I also put a lot of medicinal materials in it." Zhang Yange gave the tiger bone wine to Xu Jiaorong. "It can be applied externally."
The essence of the tiger demon's body is all in its bones.
This tiger bone wine is of high value.
Li Gongfu naturally knew the value of this tiger bone and wanted to express his gratitude.
"I actually guessed that this would be the result." Zhang Yange said apologetically, "Originally, I thought that the Song County Magistrate was better than Zheng Qiao, but he was not too inferior.
But it seems I was wrong..."
"What are you talking about? I am the head catcher of Qiantang! It is my responsibility to catch the murderer." Li Gongfu said with a nonchalant smile.
"Don't worry, I will help you seek justice." Zhang Yange said these words and left.
The magistrate of Song County was drinking. In addition to She Ren, he was also accompanied by the fourth figure in Suzhou officialdom.
In a prefecture, under the magistrate is the tongzhi, then there is the general judge, and under the general judge is the criminal hall!
The Criminal Office is the official in charge of criminal matters. Because he is the fourth person in the government, he is also called the Fourth Master!
"It's really unnecessary for Fourth Master Liu to come here in person." Magistrate Song said politely.
Liu Xingtang sent a thousand taels of silver during this trip.
"My son has just made an engagement with She Jijiu's daughter, but he didn't want Miss She to be deceived by evil spirits and almost made a joke, thanks to County Magistrate Liu." Fourth Master Liu picked up the wine glass.
"you are welcome!"
The three of them were drinking, and suddenly they felt dizzy.
When I opened my eyes again, I arrived at the Chenghuang Temple in Qiantang County.
However, the person sitting in the Chenghuang Temple was not the Chenghuang Lord, but a tall man in Taoist robes.
He held a black cat in his arms and sat casually in a place reserved for city emperors.
"Kneel down!" he said coldly.
She Chun and his daughter knelt down directly!
The Taoist priest spoke as if he was following his words, mainly because the She family father and daughter had evil intentions. Magistrate Song's head was dripping with cold sweat. He persisted for a while and finally knelt down.
"Who are you!" This Fourth Master Liu still has some righteousness in him.
"I came to you to demand justice!" Zhang Yange said, stroking the black cat. "She Chun! Tell me what you did with your father."
She Chun told the story again.
After hearing this, Mr. Liu was furious, "She Ren! Didn't you say someone wanted to harm you?"
At this time, She Ren only focused on begging for mercy.
Mr. Liu clasped his fists at Zhang Yange and said, "Thank you sir for preventing me from being deceived."
Zhang Yange looked him over, and Fourth Master Liu was not afraid at all.
"Just stand by and be a witness." Zhang Yange's eyes can make some people with evil intentions dare not look directly.
This Fourth Master Liu is not afraid because he is a very upright official. Of course, if Zhang Yange really wants to kill people, the Qi in his body will directly crush him. Any good official or a bad official will die.
"What about you?" Zhang Yange asked Magistrate Song.
"The lower official was also deceived!"
"Huh?" Zhang Yange snorted coldly.
"She Chun promised to give me five thousand taels, and Mr. Liu also gave me one thousand taels as a thank you." Magistrate Song shouted.
"You can escape the death penalty, but you can't escape the living penalty!" Zhang Yange said, petting the cat.
"Then I'll do it?" Ouyang Xia said with a wicked smile.
"Cheng Huang, help me!" Magistrate Song shouted.
"I can't save you, remember it's him who wants to beat you." A whip appeared in Ouyang Xia's hand. "How many times?"
"How many times did you beat Li Gongfu?" Zhang Yange asked.
"Ten boards!"
"Then let's do it a hundred times." Zhang Yange said casually.
"One hundred lashes will make you lose your soul." Ouyang Xia flicked the whip, and the sound was like thunder in the ears of the four people.
Mr. Liu was so shocked that his face turned pale.
The three of them were even curled up and shivering.
"Then give me twenty lashes first. If this guy dares to be a corrupt official again, then I will capture his soul and beat him severely!" Zhang Yange said with raised eyebrows.
"Hello!"
Magistrate Song started crying for his father after being beaten for a moment.
If twenty strokes were used, Magistrate Song's soul would be gone.
"Spare your life! Give me a chance to start a new life." Magistrate Song shouted.
Ouyang looked at Zhang Yange, but the whip in his hand did not stop.
"Then give him a chance." Zhang Yange said. "Magistrate Song, I will arrest you next time! It won't be a whip."
As soon as Zhang Yange finished speaking, the three of them returned to the wine table.
The three of them looked at each other.
They all thought it was a dream, and Magistrate Song had three bloody whip marks on his back.
"ah!
" Magistrate Song shouted in pain, "Come here! Lock up the She family father and daughter, I will re-examine this case!"
"Then I will leave first. It is not difficult for Magistrate Song to be a good official." Mr. Liu dropped these words and left.
