Chapter 129 The county magistrate, are you squatting?
Early in the morning, when Xue Yun woke up, Xu Zhiqiong gave him a gold ingot.
Xue Yun weighed the weight: "Where does this come from?"
Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said: "It was a gift from Tianzhi County."
"Will he be kind enough to give it to you?"
Xu Zhiqiong said: "The magistrate of Tian is a generous man, and he has plenty of these things in his house."
Xue Yun sighed: "This is what I have earned through so many years of hard work and hard work."
Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I'll thank Magistrate Tian for you."
The two of them had something to eat in the wine shop, and Xu Zhiqiong gave Xue Yun a dried flower.
This dried flower was made by Xu Zhiqiong to imitate Qin Changmao's toothbrush, and it can inform people of danger.
Xue Yun looked embarrassed: "Why did you give me this? This cannot be given randomly."
Xu Zhiqiong said: "I don't want to give it away to you, but I can only do this now. I left a mark on Guan Xicheng. These days, it is inevitable that Tianzhi County will have the intention of killing people and silencing them. If Guan Xicheng is in danger, the dried flowers will bloom. Then you go to Yilangyuan to find me, and I will find a way to save him."
Xue Yun said in astonishment: "You also know magic. This is really powerful. Can a seventh-grade Yilang know this?"
"You will know when you reach seventh rank. You should be more careful these days. Remember to go to Yilang Court every three days."
…
Xu Zhiqiong returned to Yilangyuan and saw Yang Wu sitting in the courtyard, looking worried.
"What's wrong? Are you hungry?"
Yang Wu shook his head and said: "The paper man you bought for me only has a skeleton left, and not a single piece of paper is left on it."
Xu Zhiqiong was silent for a moment and said, "Maybe it was because of the strong wind last night."
"The wind wasn't strong last night, but the fog was heavy!" Yang Wu looked at Xu Zhiqiong, "Xue Yun came last night."
Xu Zhiqiong was shocked. He thought Xue Yun slept peacefully in the inn last night.
"What is he here for?"
"He said it was cold in Shanxun County and came to get you some clothes. I said there were no clothes here and he left."
Xue Yun is a very strange person, and Xu Zhiqiong can't see through him.
At first I thought he was a reckless young man.
Later I found out that he was not reckless in doing things and was very measured.
Just like the Guan Xicheng case, Xue Yun provided a lot of help but never interfered with Xu Zhiqiong's decision-making.
This person always seemed to come with some purpose, but Xu Zhiqiong couldn't figure out his purpose.
One thing can be confirmed, he did not come to trouble Yang Wu last night.
But what happened to the paper man?
The wind was strong because it was afraid of frightening Yang Wu. No matter how strong the wind was, Yang Wu would not be so smart. He left the skeleton and peeled off the paper cleanly.
Xue Yun may know something inside...
In the morning, Xu Zhiqiong went to Qingyi Pavilion to visit the senior sister.
The senior sister had removed most of her bandages and was looking in the mirror to see if there were any scars on her face. Xu Zhiqiong pointed out: "Scabs have just formed here. Be careful when you sleep to avoid scratching them again."
"There's nothing you can do about it. How can you be careful when sleeping..." Yuchi Lan suddenly raised his head, stared at Xu Zhiqiong and said, "Why are you here?"
"I'm here to visit senior sister."
"When did you come in?"
"I've been hiding under the bed all night."
"Are you serious?" Yuchilan's face turned red.
"Senior sister, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so red? Do you need some convenience? I'll get you a basin."
"Be more aggressive!"
"Senior sister, someone in Qingyi just came over to change your medicine. I left the medicine, so I can change it for you."
"I told you to be more careful and don't touch me!"
"Senior sister was injured because of me. It's my duty to take care of her."
"If you don't leave, I'll call someone!"
"Sister, you are so strong!"
…
Half an hour later, Xu Zhiqiong changed the medicine for the senior sister and fed her lychees.
After peeling the shell, put the pulp into the senior sister's mouth, and then waited for the senior sister to spit out the core.
The senior sister blushed, ate a pound of lychees, looked at Xu Zhiqiong and said, "You want me to do something, right?"
"Sister, I really feel sorry for you!"
"Bah! If you have anything to say, tell me as soon as possible. If I can't help you, don't wait here for me. I can't afford it."
Xu Zhiqiong smiled naively: "If you say there is something wrong, it's really just a little bit. Do you still remember this person?"
Xu Zhiqiong whispered a few words to his senior sister.
The senior sister was stunned: "Hasn't this person been dealt with before?"
Xu Zhiqiong said: "This time, I am asking for something from him. Come, senior sister, eat another lychee."
The senior sister shook her head repeatedly, as if she had something to say, "You can't eat it, this lychee has too much water!"
"What are you afraid of? I've brought all the pots!"
…
In the afternoon, the twin candles were lit, and Xu Zhiqiong hurried back to Yilangyuan.
Xue Yun is here and Guan Xicheng is in danger.
"Tian Zhixian has been interrogating Guan Xicheng since early in the morning. Guan Xicheng cannot tell you and me who we are, so he is just waiting for Tian Zhixian to torture him."
Xu Zhiqiong had expected this step and asked: "How is the conduct of Tianzhi County's family?"
…
In Shanxun County, the county magistrate Tian Jinping is interrogating Guan Xicheng.
"Your death is approaching, and this county doesn't want to embarrass you. But you colluded with the litigants, slandered my reputation, and ruined the peace of my rule. I can't spare you. Let me ask you again, what are the names of the two litigants?
, where are you from, do you want to tell me?"
Guan Xicheng shook his head and said: "Sir, I really don't recognize those two people. They only said they were lawyers who came to avenge me."
"Do you think you were wronged? Tell me, where did this county wrong you?"
"Sir, I..."
As soon as Guan Xicheng opened his mouth, Magistrate Tian laughed: "So you admitted it. You admitted colluding with the litigants and causing trouble. This county will sentence you to an additional level of crime. If you do it truthfully, this county will be lenient.
If you persist in your stubbornness, don’t blame the law for being ruthless.”
Guan Xicheng looked horrified: "Sir, I really don't know, I really don't know..."
Magistrate Tian looked majestic and shouted: "Torture!"
The officer put Guan Xicheng on the torture rack and tied him up, then started beating him with a whip. He was beaten more than a hundred times, leaving Guan Xicheng's skin and flesh torn.
Tian Jinping walked up to Guan Xicheng and sneered: "Why should a dying person suffer such physical pain? Do you really think that you can ruin the reputation of this county with just two litigants?"
Guan Xicheng lowered his head and remained silent.
Tian Jinping shouted: "Don't tell me if you say so!"
Guan Xicheng was still speechless.
Tian Jinping ordered the torture to continue. The jailer threw away the whip and replaced it with a stick. Just as he was about to step forward, the steward suddenly came to report that something had happened in the house.
Tian Jinping ordered Guan Xicheng to be escorted back to the prison and quickly returned to the mansion.
Entering the east wing, I saw the eldest son Tian Wensong lying on the bed with his skin torn and bruised from head to toe.
"Son, what's going on!" Tian Jinping burst into tears.
Tian Wensong gasped: "I was drinking tea in the tea house in the afternoon and went to the toilet, but I was caught by two strong men. The strong men covered their faces and didn't see their faces, but they asked the children who they were. The children really didn't recognize them.
They beat the child to death."
"Beasts, what beasts did!" Tian Jinping was so angry that he was shaking all over, "My son is so long and fleshy, they can do such a thing!"
Tian Wensong said: "Those two strong men put a letter in my clothes."
Tian Jinping opened the letter and took a look.
There are only three lines in the letter:
Magistrate:
Treat Guan Xicheng's injuries,
Kowtow three times to Guan Xicheng,
Crack your forehead.
"Crazy! Extremely wild!" Tian Jinping asked the housekeeper to collect the letter, "This is the physical evidence that Guan Xicheng colluded with the villain and threatened the county!"
Just as the housekeeper was about to put the letter away, the letter suddenly caught fire and burned the housekeeper's hand. Shanxun County is not like the capital. There are not so many cultivators here, especially the Yin-Yang cultivators who are strictly controlled by the Yin-Yang Division.
Tian Zhixian had never seen onmyoji often, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
However, he had been a county magistrate for more than thirty years and had seen a lot of battles. He was nervous for a moment and then calmed down.
He first called a doctor to treat his eldest son's injuries, then straightened his official robes, calmly prepared to go to the prison to examine the case.
Guan Xicheng, I have to pry open your mouth today. In my county, how can I allow you and other evil people to show off their evil deeds!
The butler reminded from behind: "The four young masters are not at home."
Tian Jinping straightened his official robe, returned to the mansion calmly, and ordered the messenger to find his other four sons first.
Of these four sons, one is in Goulan, two are in Cuju court, and one is in chess club.
Not long after, Tian Wenzhu, the second young master who was in Goulan, came back. He was carried by two policemen and his body was covered in blood and flesh. Magistrate Tian gritted his teeth and asked, but just like Tian Wensong said, he was also beaten by two strong men.
There is also a piece of paper taped to Tian Wenzhu's belly, with only five words written on it: "Are you going to knock or not?"
When Hotan Magistrate said, "You say it, don't say it!" The tone was surprisingly consistent.
Tian Jinping was dumbfounded. He had been a county magistrate for more than thirty years and had never encountered such a thing.
Where did this thug come from, daring to attack one parent!
If you rebel, you won't succeed. If you rebel, you won't succeed...
Tian Jinping covered his chest, coughed and wheezed for a while, and gradually recovered.
The butler reminded: "The three young masters have not been found yet!"
Tian Jinping looked calm, he had survived the storm after all.
He calmly walked to the prison and called a doctor to treat Guan Xicheng's injuries.
After the doctor briefly dealt with it, Tian Jinping wanted to send out both the jailer and the doctor.
But the doctor and the jailer walked around in the prison several times and couldn't get out.
This is how to do?
You can't kowtow to Guan Xicheng in front of them!
Tian Jinping wanted to go back to the mansion first, but he couldn't get out of the cell.
This is the magic circle! The magic circle of Onmyoji!
Tian Jinping finally came to a conclusion. He remembered that a strange person came to the county town, and he knew some yin and yang skills.
This man's name is Wei Xingfan, who is known as Doctor Wei. Calling him here should be able to break the evil spells of these monsters.
While he was thinking about it, the housekeeper came to report: "The Fourth Young Master is back, he was beaten until he was no longer human."
As soon as the butler came in, he couldn't get out, and there was another spectator on the scene.
Tian Zhixian nodded when he heard this. After the strong wind and waves, his demeanor was different.
He turned around and knelt calmly in front of Guan Xicheng, bang bang bang! He kowtowed three times.
After finishing kowtow, he raised his head and asked, "Did you see any blood?"
No one from the housekeeper, jailer, or doctor, including the injured Guan Xicheng, said a word. They couldn't believe this was true.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Tian Jinping kowtowed again, this time so hard that his forehead bled.
At the sight of blood, the yin and yang magic circle was untied and everyone could leave.
But before leaving, the magistrate had to give everyone a reasonable explanation.
What he just did was beyond the understanding of everyone present.
Tian Jinping stood up calmly and said to Guan Xicheng: "As a parent official, this county treats the people of this county as our own flesh and blood. Seeing you suffer makes my heart feel like a knife. That's why I knelt down just to save you and me."
It is a love of flesh and blood. After we kneel down, even if this love is gone, this county will never owe you anything from now on."
Xu Zhiqiong held the hidden mirror and stared at this scene with his mouth open.
Is this the highest state of He Xini?
Tian Jinping said that he was a parent official.
He said that Guan Xicheng was his flesh and blood.
Then he knelt down in front of his own flesh and blood.
Then they broke off the relationship…
He was talking nonsense in every sentence, but when he said it all together, it really made sense.
I need to remember this!
Xu Zhiqiong was looking for pen and ink, and Xue Yun stood by and signaled that it was time to leave.
The two quietly left the prison and broke away from the invisible state. Xue Yun took a long breath and said: "Does it take so much effort? Wouldn't it be over if we just rescue Guan Xicheng?"
Xu Zhiqiong said: "If you want to save a person, but you can't become a fugitive? Can you still hold your head high in this life? You have to clear his name, let him live, and live a decent life."
Xue Yun smiled and said: "I really admire you for putting in so much effort without any merit."
Xu Zhiqiong also smiled: "I admire you too, this strength is all your fault."
Xu Zhiqiong truly admires Xue Yun.
How could Xu Zhiqiong, a seventh-grade judge, force a county magistrate to this point?
Maybe, but it's very difficult! It requires Xu Zhiqiong to invest a lot of time and energy in the layout.
But with Xue Yun’s help, it’s not difficult at all.
He knew where each of Tian Jinping's sons were and could catch them at any time.
Xu Zhiqiong was convinced that he did not have this ability, and he was also convinced that Xue Yun was not an eighth-grade judge.
Xue Yun asked Xu Zhiqiong: "There is something I still can't figure out. How do you want to overturn Guan Xicheng's case? Are you really going to file a complaint with the Ministry of Punishment?"
Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said: "How do you go to the Ministry of Punishment to file a complaint? In a murder case, the real culprit has been arrested, and the Ministry of Punishment is too lazy to take a second look. What does the death of Guan Xicheng have to do with them? Can't everyone just make peace with each other?
"
"Then you plan to file a complaint with Liang Daguan's family?"
Xu Zhiqiong said with a smile: "The Ministry of Punishment is too lazy to take care of it, so why would Liang Daguan's family be willing to take care of it? Let's all join together."
Xue Yundao: "No one wants to take care of it, how can you reverse the case?"
Xu Zhiqiong said: "If someone is willing to take care of it, there are still a group of upright people in the court!"
…
In the elegant room of Fengle Building, Zhang Zhuyang, the seventh-level censor of the Censorship Station, looked at Xu Zhiqiong silently.
They were also acquaintances. On the Wang'an River, Su Youxian, the director of the Ministry of Industry, gave Zhang Zhuyang a painting boat and two beauties, but Xu Zhiqiong caught him red-handed.
Now, Zheng Jikun, the head of the Ministry of Household Affairs, gave Zhang Zhuyang several acres of land, but Xu Zhiqiong caught him again.
Xu Zhiqiong clutched the land deed and sighed: "Brother Zhang, why are you so careless?"
Zhang Zhuyang stared at Xu Zhiqiong and narrowed his eyes: "Xu Denglang, there are thousands of officials in the capital, but you only like me?"
Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said: "I came to see Brother Zhang this time because I have important matters to discuss."
When Zhang Zhuyang heard this, he dismissed the irrelevant people and others.
Xu Zhiqiong activated the two qi of yin and yang and set up a magic circle in the private room.
There were only two people left in the private room, and ordinary people could not hear the sound outside. Xu Zhiqiong asked: "Tian Jinping, the magistrate of Shanxun County, has Brother Zhang heard of this person?"
Zhang Zhuyang nodded and said: "An old county magistrate who has served for thirty-two years."
"Brother Zhang, do you even know this?"
Zhang Zhuyang smiled: "If you don't even know this, the censor's rice bowl will not taste good."
Xu Zhiqiong nodded and asked: "Brother Zhang, can you defeat him?"
Zhang Zhuyang thought for a moment: "That depends on whether you have real evidence."
Xu Zhiqiong handed the complaint and testimony to Zhang Zhuyang. After Zhang Zhuyang read it, he said to Xu Zhiqiong: "This matter can be done. Tian Jinping has no foundation. If he has foundation, he does not need to be a county magistrate for more than 30 years. With this piece of paper and
These testimonies are enough to take his hat off, but I have to ask something clearly, why did you want to bring him down?"
Xu Zhiqiong said with a smile: "This guy has had a personal vendetta against me since he was born."
Zhang Zhuyang was stunned: "Tian Jinping is almost sixty years old. When he was born, there was no Xu Denglang, right?"
Xu Zhiqiong said: "I hated him since I was in my mother's womb!"
"Okay, I'll help you with this. This land deed..."
Xu Zhiqiong said: "As long as this guy falls down and the land deed is returned to you, I will pretend that I have never seen him."
Zhang Zhuyang raised his glass and said: "Okay, it's a deal!"
