Hearing this, Jia Zhu felt a little chilly in her heart.
Although he served as county magistrate, he had never encountered such a tragic incident.
Of course, he knew in his heart that there were no tragedies in Xiaxian County when he first took office, but they were just not exposed to him.
Now, the victim is blocking the sedan chair to complain, and if he wants to do something about it, he has to understand it clearly so that he can respond promptly.
"Is your husband still alive?"
Although such words are very hurtful, there are some things that have to be clarified first.
The young woman who stopped the sedan chair to complain was the landlord's maid in the story. She shook her head and said: "I originally planned to visit my husband who was imprisoned in the ancestral hall, but a kind-hearted person from the clan reminded me that the clan leader is afraid that he will do something to me and my two sons.
Ruthless hand, then fled in a hurry!"
"First, the pair of sons were sent to a hidden mountain cave. After some modifications, she became so prominent that she pretended to be a beggar and walked out of the village in a big circle!"
"After receiving advice from the young lady who used to wait on me, I came to the county seat to stop the sedan chair and complain!"
Jia Zhu nodded in agreement. Everything was reasonable and logical. Obviously, the young woman who stopped the sedan chair to complain was very unlikely to lie.
"Master Guan, please come forward and save my husband who has been wronged!"
At this time, the maid kneeling on the ground kowtowed repeatedly and begged miserably: "If the time drags on for too long, I'm afraid my life will be in danger!"
"Don't worry, I will take care of this matter!"
Without saying a word, Jia Zhu expressed his stance solemnly: "Under the Lang Lang universe, something like this happened. I will definitely not stand by and watch!"
After saying this, he greeted the maidservant of the back office and took the woman who was blocking the sedan chair to wash up and rest for a while.
Seeing the other party's hesitation, he explained: "If you want to save people, I have to recruit all the people first!"
Clan society, clan society, and the authority of village clan chiefs are no joke. They can truly determine the life and death of a clan with one word.
Referring to the power of Jia Rong, the patriarch of the Jia clan in Beijing, although such a reference is somewhat unreliable, it can also explain some problems.
Besides, what the feudal dynasty emphasized was that imperial power should not go to the countryside!
If he rashly went to the village where the woman's husband was staying and stopped the sedan chair to complain, it would be fine if the local village chief gave him face, but what if he didn't give him face?
If you don't have enough people around you to provide enough deterrence to the local village clan chiefs, you may be in danger.
If you have never eaten pork, have you never seen a pig with hair on it?
While serving abroad, I heard a lot about local clans and the tyrannical behavior of rural powerful men.
Some guys, when they become local emperors, they are called arrogant and domineering.
Even the local government offices don't take it seriously. If you want to enter their core territory to run errands, it's almost like going under a mountain of swords and a sea of fire.
Of course, Jia Zhu has never experienced this, so she naturally feels that it is exaggerated.
But rumors may come out of nowhere without a reason, so it’s better to be cautious.
Of course, Jia Zhu was definitely not a bad person, and he would not be moved by compassion and go all out just because of the cries of the wronged girl who stopped the sedan chair.
The main reason is that the eldest son, as mentioned by the maid, is just in his early ten years and has already been admitted as a scholar.
Damn, for a country boy to be able to perform like this, he has a good foundation for reading, and he is also a very talented person.
This made Jia Zhu very fond of him!
Such a talented young scholar was in danger of death. Jia Zhu had to go and rescue him no matter what.
In his opinion, a rural boy who has already passed the examination and has become a scholar, but has half-stepped into the official career, is regarded as one of his own people in the same class.
In addition, it was naturally due to the sense of justice that arose in my heart after listening to the story of the person who blocked the sedan chair and complained about injustice.
Jia Zhu has a strong scholarly spirit and has never been severely beaten by officials, so she naturally cannot bear to see such injustice.
Of course, there is also the thought of performing well and achieving some results.
Saving a promising young scholar can easily gain widespread recognition by telling the story.
He was greatly influenced by his biological father, Mr. Zheng Er, and he still cared very much about the evaluation of the circle of scholars.
After the arrangements were made for the maid to be married, Li Wan came out at the right time.
Her face looked a little ugly. It was obvious that she had listened to the woman's story just now. She shook her head and said, "I don't want the village clan to behave in such a rough way!"
Damn, in order to rob other people's property, they don't even do any cover-up and directly use their family power to kill people. It makes people's hearts go cold.
"No matter what, save the people first and then talk about it!"
Jia Zhu said disapprovingly: "I have arranged for a long follow-up to call Minzhuang and the policemen in the Yamen. We will set off as soon as they arrive!"
"Master, why don't you ask the county magistrate and Lord Bo for their opinions?"
Li Wan was a little worried and reminded him.
"It's not necessary. Human lives are at stake, so it's better to fight quickly!"
Jia Zhu waved her hands, her face full of disdain.
After all, he is a young master from a first-class noble family in the capital. Although he usually hides it quite well, how can the arrogance in his bones disappear?
As his colleagues, the county magistrate and the chief minister were both from poor families, so they were naturally looked down upon by him.
Li Wan didn't think it was inappropriate. The rich background was not a joke.
Otherwise, as the legitimate daughter of the Imperial Academy priest, she would be unlikely to marry into a noble family like Rongfu.
Her father had the idea of taking advantage of the power of the Rong Mansion to go further.
"Then master, please be more careful and go back quickly!"
Li Wan didn't think anything would happen. If Jia Zhu wanted to show off, let him show off. She also sympathized with the woman very much.
Soon, the police officers and minzhuang on duty were in place.
Jia Zhu called the woman who was blocking the sedan chair to come over and briefly described the situation. She waved her big hand and said righteously: "Let's go over quickly and save people!"
"It's really eye-opening. Such a tragic thing happened under the bright sky. Now that the county knows about it, it will definitely intervene!"
The woman who blocked the sedan chair to complain about injustice now revealed her true appearance after a simple wash.
She has a delicate appearance and a gentle aura of Xiaojiabiyu, which makes people fall in love with her as soon as they see her. She is like the sister next door who people can't help but get close to.
Although he was wearing coarse clothes, he still had a bookish air to him.
Jia Zhu liked this tune. Of course she didn't have any bad intentions, but she just felt that it was undeserved for such a woman to suffer such a tragic incident.
Ignoring the arresting officer's hesitant expression, he directly set off in a sedan chair with a large group of people. He had such an idea in his heart and was passionate about asking for help for the people.
The county magistrate and the boss quickly got the news and chased them out. Unfortunately, it was too late, but there was a strange smile on their faces, quite full of gloating...
