The case was concluded without any suspense. Wang Manlu did not dare to hide anything and confessed everything. It was nothing more than a matter of inheritance between the eldest son and the second son in feudal society. He felt that he had received too little from the family division, so he started fighting with his elder brother.
The idea was that he and his wife finally took advantage of this rare opportunity to kill the child.
Wang Manfu and his wife have reached middle age, and it would be very difficult for them to have a son. Therefore, Wang Manlu was waiting for his eldest brother's property to be left to himself instead of inheriting it. But now everything has been ruined, and he even lost his life. He regrets that
It's too late.
Magistrate Wen left the court, and before leaving, he smiled and nodded to Xu Zizhen to express his approval. Wen Xian, who peeked from behind the hall, was also surprised. Wang Manfu and his wife who had not left the courtroom bowed to Xu Zizhen gratefully.
Go on, if it hadn't been for his ingenious method today, I'm afraid the youngest son would have died unjustly.
The government officials on duty lined up on both sides showed their admiration. Xu Zizhen solved this murder case with almost no flaws in such a strange way, and even roared in court to defend the little child Tong Xue. With such talent and such temperament
, these rough men were so impressed that they fell into admiration.
Xu Zizhen could understand the pain of losing a son to Wang Manfu and his wife, so he hurriedly helped them up and asked Uncle Cheng to accompany them back first. He could only go to the door to express his gratitude for saving Li Luoyan another day, and today was really not the time.
Wang Manfu and his wife said goodbye with a lot of gratitude. Xu Zizhen looked at their backs and couldn't help sighing. A good family was ruined like this. What's the use of Wang Manfu having more money? Can he be happy again?
"Hey, Brother Xu, don't think too much about it." Li Sheng also sighed and patted Xu Zizhen on the shoulder, "Although that child's life is bitter, fortunately, you have fought for justice for him."
Xu Zizhen came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Brother Li, don't worry, I just couldn't think about it for the moment. I'm fine now. It's okay."
Li Sheng looked at him up and down, and suddenly raised his thumb and praised: "Brother Xu, I have been traveling in the world for so many years, and I can say that I have met countless people, but a man like you, Brother Xu, is kind, responsible, talented and courageous.
This is the first time we’ve met! I haven’t told you yet, but I’m really determined to be your friend!”
Xu Zizhen smiled and said, "Are you pretending to be friends with me?"
The two laughed at each other. Li Luoyan looked at him quietly from the side, with deep affection in his eyes, but there was a hint of hesitation. Li Meng, the little guy, looked excited and looked at Xu Zizhen with clenched fists.
, he opened his mouth from time to time and wanted to say something, but he was a little timid.
At this moment, a burst of rapid horse hoofbeats suddenly came from the distance. Few people in front of the government office would dare to make a loud noise, let alone ride the horse so fast. Xu Zizhen couldn't help but look back and saw that it was a full-body horse.
On the horse, which is snow-white without any stray hairs, sits a woman wearing aqua-green clothes. She has a handsome face and a slim body, with green hair flying in the wind. A long sword is slung behind her, and the horse looks heroic as it gallops.
, has a unique charm.
"Hey!" With a loud scolding, the white horse stopped steadily at the door of the government office, motionless. The woman jumped off the horse, threw the reins in her hand to the government servant at the door, and walked quickly into the government office.
Xu Zizhen secretly applauded: What a domineering girl! I don’t know who is Mr. Wen’s relative, but she came here to follow her own family.
However, he only glanced at it and turned around, smiling at Li Sheng and saying, "I haven't had breakfast yet. Why don't we just have lunch early? Brother Li, how many drinks can we have?"
Just as Li Sheng was about to speak, he saw Jin Yuxi running out. Seeing Xu Zizhen from a distance, he shouted: "Brother Xu, I'm looking for you in the inner hall."
Xu Zizhen was taken aback for a moment, then waved his hands to Li Sheng: "Yes, I can only drink it another day."
Li Sheng smiled and said: "Then I won't come back until I'm drunk!"
Xu Zizhen clasped his fists and was about to leave when he remembered something again: "Where do you live now? I'll go find you later. I have to go to the Wang family anyway."
"Next to Chongyuan Temple, seven miles east of the city, my senior brother helped me find a house. If you come, tell the monk to find Master Jingde. That's my senior brother."
"Okay, see you later, Brother Li."
With Li Sheng's family settled, Xu Zizhen no longer hesitated and ran away to the house. He still felt a little guilty about beating someone in court today. Roaring in court was a minor crime. I don't know now.
Is it because Mr. Wen wants to settle accounts with the queen and cause trouble for him?
Looking at Xu Zizhen's retreating figure, Li Sheng suddenly sighed, glanced at Li Luoyan and said, "Luo'er, let's go."
Li Luoyan's eyes still fell on the place where Xu Zizhen gradually disappeared, reluctant to leave. Only when Li Sheng called her did she come back to her senses and whispered: "Dad..."
Li Sheng shook his head and said helplessly: "Luo'er, Xu Zizhen has great talents and is affectionate and righteous, but he may not be suitable for you."
Li Luoyan bit her red lips and hesitated for a moment: "Liao'er understands that Brother Xu is young and energetic, and has a sharp edge. If..."
"As long as you understand, let's go." Li Sheng didn't let her finish, he sighed and turned around to leave. Li Luoyan couldn't help but look back at the gate of the government office not far away, and finally seemed to have made up his mind.
He gritted his teeth and turned around.
…
Xu Zizhen didn't know what Magistrate Wen was looking for, and he felt a little unsure. He sped up and hurried forward. The inner hall was some distance away from the main entrance. There was a long corridor in it. Beyond the long corridor was the back garden. Xu Zizhen was thinking about it.
Concerned, I turned out of the corridor and entered the back garden, but accidentally bumped into someone outside the door.
At this time, his speed was so fast that it was too late to stop. He lost his center of gravity and flew out uncontrollably, falling to the ground.
"Ah...eh?"
Xu Zizhen subconsciously wanted to scream, but suddenly found that he was not hurt by the fall. On the contrary, his body seemed soft and fragrant and extremely comfortable. Before he had time to see clearly what was pressing under him, he suddenly heard a sound in his ears.
Earth-shattering screams.
"ah!"
Xu Zizhen only felt a sharp pain in his ear sockets. The high-decibel scream almost knocked the wax out of his ears, but he soon discovered something. The scream turned out to be coming from his ears.
When he lowered his head, he clearly saw a pretty face that was both shy and angry.
Isn't this the domineering girl at the door? Why is she here?
Xu Zizhen found that he was lying on her back at some point, and the girl was pressed to death by him, unable to move at all, and staring at him with blazing eyes.
Hmm, it's fragrant and soft, something...
The posture of the two of them was too ambiguous and a little strange. Xu Zizhen felt that a round, straight and elastic buttock was pressing against his restricted area. The comfortable feeling made his whole body numb, and a wave of heat rose from his lower abdomen.
.
Suddenly the girl screamed again, louder than the previous one: "Ah! The thief!"
Before Xu Zizhen could recover, he suddenly felt a huge force coming from under him, and then his body was lifted up high, and he was thrown to the ground unexpectedly. This time, he lay down firmly, and the cobblestones on the ground were straight.
It hurt him everywhere from head to toe.
"I... do it!"
Xu Zizhen groaned and almost passed away. At this moment, two people walked out of the inner hall quickly. It was Wen Xian and her maid. As soon as they went out, they saw Xu Zizhen lying on the ground in a large shape, facing the loess and motionless.
"This..." Wen Xian couldn't help being stunned, and stayed at the door of the inner hall, staring blankly at the half-dead Xu Zizhen on the ground, "What's going on?"
The woman who was knocked down by Xu Zizhen was gnashing her teeth and looking like she wanted to kill Xu Zizhen quickly. When she saw Wen Xian appeared, her mouth suddenly narrowed and her eyes turned red. She burst out crying and threw herself into Wen Xian's arms.
Crying: "Sister Xian, I...I want to kill this perverted thief!"
Xu Zizhen was struggling to get up when his eyes suddenly darkened when he heard these words.
