When they arrived at the gate of the post house, Hua Rujin met Ting An as soon as she got off the carriage.
Seeing that it was the Shu family's carriage, the little book boy immediately came up to it and shouted: "Miss Hua, Miss Hua, where have you been? Let me find it easily."
Hua Rujin and Ruya's cousin looked at each other, and Shu Jinxuan looked a little unhappy:
"Why, is it your young master who wants you to spy on my cousin?"
Before the two of them could interrupt, he immediately scolded: "Ting'an, although my cousin is placed in the post house to handle county government affairs for your son, she is not a county government servant. There is no need to report to you where she goes.
"
"Master Shu misunderstood."
Ting'an didn't know why the second son of the Shu family was suddenly so hostile to him and his son. He quickly explained: "The county government has received the confession statement of the Li family's son. It just so happened that the county government arranged a court hearing today. My son
I was sent here to ask Miss Hua whether she will be scheduled to appear in court for interrogation today."
"Then please go and report to Mr. Ye immediately. We will enter the court today."
This time, it was Hua Rujin's turn and she didn't give her elegant cousin a chance to interrupt.
"Okay, I'll go tell the young master right now."
After Ding An finished speaking, he left in a hurry.
Shu Jinxuan was worried that she was working too hard and advised: "Actually, there is no need to be so anxious."
"This case cannot be dragged on forever. The sooner the case is overturned, the better."
Hua Rujin replied.
After all, the Zhang family has He Shiyin making plans behind the scenes. If they are given too much time to plan, it will be difficult to turn things around.
Shu Jinxuan thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "I'll accompany you to the county government office."
"OK."
Although Hua Rujin didn't want him to stay with her all day long, he was always so considerate and put himself in her shoes, and she really couldn't find a suitable reason to reject his kindness.
After getting back on the carriage, the two of them headed towards Jiang'an County Government Office.
In the side room in the backyard of the post house, He Shiyin had just finished dressing up and was leisurely enjoying the meal prepared by the female envoy.
Thinking that half a day had passed, she asked the envoy casually: "Where did Mr. Ye go today?"
The female envoy slowly replied: "I heard that there is a whole day of court hearings scheduled today, and Mr. Ye has been handling official business at the county government office."
He Shiyin nodded with satisfaction. Thinking of something, he suddenly frowned: "Where is the young lady from the Hua family?"
"I accompanied the Li family's maid to the county prison early in the morning. I thought I was visiting the prison."
The female envoy hesitated for a moment: "Just now, my servant saw her returning to the post house with the second son of the Shu family, but she rushed to the county government office without stopping."
"The second son of the Shu family?"
Thinking of this person, He Shiyin sneered uncontrollably: "What a sweetheart. Her cousin has become the widow of the Dou family and still sticks to her. Such a person is really rare in the world."
But when she turned around and thought about them going to the county government office, her eyebrows tightened: "I'm afraid they went to the county government office to reverse the case of the young master of the Li family."
"Thinking about it, she can't afford to make any trouble."
The female envoy smiled sinisterly and said: "If it is a dead end, the young lady of the Zhang family will not disobey her mother and go to the court to say that she seduced Mr. Li."
"It's better to be careful. After all, I took away two thousand taels of silver from Mr. Sun."
He Shiyin held her chopsticks and her eyes paused slightly: "It just so happens that this case will be completely settled today. You can come with me to the temple tomorrow."
"Miss, she never forgets to go to the temple to pray wherever she goes."
The female envoy smiled and joked: "I'm afraid there's no one else in the world who worships Bodhisattva more diligently than Miss. If Bodhisattva doesn't bless Miss, who else will he bless?"
"Talk too much."
He Shiyin curled her lips in dissatisfaction: "This kind of thing cannot be used as a joke."
"yes."
The female envoy suddenly became serious: "Miss, finish your meal quickly. I will accompany you to the county government office to watch the excitement. I also want to see what Miss Hua's ability is to overturn the case from you."
He Shiyin remained silent and did not answer, gradually falling into deep thought.
In the Jiang'an County government office, Ye Chengguan had just finished handling a case. He looked up at the noisy crowd outside the courtroom and asked the county magistrate Tang Haoran in a low voice: "How many more trials are there today?"
Tang Haoran looked at the book and couldn't help but yawned: "Three more and it will be over."
But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Ting Anxing running in in a hurry.
Ye Chengguan glanced at him and immediately understood. He ordered Tang Haoran: "Add another case at the back and bring the relevant personnel before the interrogation."
"Sir, you have tried more than a dozen cases in a row today. It would be better to rest early, so as not to exhaust yourself."
Tang Haoran looked bitter.
Even if he didn't feel tired, he and his subordinates couldn't stand it.
"The Mid-Autumn Festival will be here in a few days. If the trial is not completed today, the next court trial will have to be scheduled for late afternoon."
Ye Chengguan glanced at him coldly: "Could it be that the county magistrate wants to accompany the county to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in the court hall?"
"Don't dare, don't dare."
Tang Haoran immediately lowered his head: "I will obey your orders in everything."
Ye Chengguan ignored him and continued to call people to prepare for the next court hearing.
He didn't have a clue about the strange things that happened frequently in Jiang'an County recently. If he didn't finish the backlog of cases earlier, he might just watch those children being sacrificed alive on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Hua Rujin and Shu Jinxuan arrived near the county government office. They looked at the crowds everywhere and counted the time. They thought there would be a lot of cases today, so they went directly to a teahouse and asked for a window seat on the second floor to meet their elegant cousin.
He sat down and sipped tea while waiting quietly for the Zhang family and the Li family to be summoned.
It was not until evening that I finally saw the carriages of the Li family and the Zhang family stopping in front of the county government office.
Hua Rujin paid for tea in advance this time, and went down to the teahouse with her elegant cousin. When she walked to the gate of the county government office, she saw Mrs. Liu and Cuicui looking around.
Mr. Li, who was standing next to him, had a stern expression on his face, staring at his feet, not daring to have any contact with anyone.
"Ms. Liu, Cuicui."
Hua Rujin shouted softly to the master and servant, and when they turned around, they looked delighted.
"Miss Hua, I'm leaving it to you this time. You must rescue my son no matter what."
Ms. Liu held her tightly with trembling hands, and kept looking at Mr. Li beside her out of the corner of her eye.
Now Li Yuanwai felt ashamed to see anyone, but for the sake of his son's life and death, he finally had to face Hua Rujin and said, "Miss Laohua is here."
"Madam and staff, don't worry."
Hua Rujin replied and looked around, but did not see He Shiyin. Only the eldest lady of the Zhang family and two female envoys were standing not far away, glaring at this side with hatred.
"It seems that Miss He is really confident. I don't expect that I will be able to overturn the case."
Hua Rujin muttered to herself.
It's much easier this way.
After taking a deep breath, he heard the yamen servant shouting loudly: "Bring someone to commit Li Tong's crime."
Not long after, the young master of the Li family, who wanted to die, was escorted slowly into the courtroom.
