Hu Xiaotian knew that he had misunderstood him and thought that the day he was thrown into jail by the government officials was just a deliberate trick. He smiled and shook his head and said: "I don't even know you, why are you acting?" He pointed to the chair opposite.
Said: "Sit!"
Zhou Batian sat down on the chair. Hu Xiaotian winked at Murong Feiyan and said softly: "Go and wait for me outside."
Murong Feiyan couldn't help but be a little worried. Looking at Zhou Batian's burly and strong figure, even if he was wearing shackles, if he really went crazy, Hu Xiaotian might not be able to control him. Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Don't worry, Zhou Batian and I will
Big brother is a very good friend."
When Zhou Batian heard him call him Brother Zhou, he became more and more confused.
Murong Feiyan finally walked out and said softly: "I'll wait for you outside the door."
After the iron door was closed, only Hu Xiaotian and Zhou Batian were left in the execution room.
Zhou Batian narrowed his eyes, looked at Hu Xiaotian suspiciously and said, "If you have anything to say, please just say it."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I am Hu Xiaotian, the new county magistrate of Qingyun County, and today is my first day in office."
Zhou Batian said: "Sorry for my poor eyesight, I can't remember where I have seen you before." The expression on his face was arrogant and cold, as if he didn't take the new county magistrate to heart at all.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Thank you very much, Brother Zhou, for rescuing me the night before yesterday."
Zhou Batian snorted and said in his heart, you kid, don't try to play any tricks on me, I don't know what your plans are.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Today, Jia Dewang and Jia Liu came to court again to litigate. What are the intentions of these two people? I think you know better than me, right?"
Zhou Batian was startled in his heart. He was in prison and didn't know that Jia Dewang and Jia Liu were locked up again.
Hu Xiaotian said: "I just read your file. In fact, as long as you pay a fine of twenty taels of silver, you don't need to go to jail. But you declared that you didn't have any money, so you became a prisoner. From what I saw in prison one night.
You are not a reckless person, but what you did in prison was completely beyond my expectation. Your one-month sentence was suddenly turned into three months. What on earth do you want to do in prison?
"
Zhou Batian said: "Everyone has different hobbies. I was born to like staying in prison. What do you want me to do?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "The lawsuit between Jia Dewang and Jia Liu is just a show. Jia Liu has a close relationship with Hongliu Village outside the city. With the financial resources of Hongliu Village, it is easy to spend twenty taels of silver. Since Jia Dewang asked you
Brother, the relationship between Xiangjia Liu and you is also extraordinary. The purpose of their lawsuit is to go to jail. If I am not wrong, they are taking the opportunity of being in jail to report the situation to you. You can use the situation they report.
Then decide whether to stay or go.”
Zhou Batian laughed loudly: "My lord's imagination is really admirable to Zhou. It deserves the word whimsical."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Whether it's whimsical or speculative, as long as I can catch clues, I can find out the truth. It is not difficult to find out the people who have been in and out of the prison in the past three months. If I arrest all these people
Come on, do you think someone among them will tell the truth?"
Zhou Batian glanced sideways at Hu Xiaotian. A bit of murderous aura rose up from his body and quickly spread around. The execution room was instantly enveloped by his murderous aura. Hu Xiaotian felt an invisible pressure for no reason, but Hu Xiaotian's
His expression remained calm, and he said calmly: "Did you provoke some powerful enemy? That's why you thought of such a lame way to hide in the county government prison cell?"
Zhou Batian said: "Smart people in this world often don't live long." This sentence indirectly confirmed Hu Xiaotian's inference.
Hu Xiaotian said: "I don't want to interfere with your affairs, but as the Prime Minister of Qingyun County, I will never allow anyone to cause trouble under my nose."
Zhou Batian said: "If I want to leave, do you think a few government officials can stop me?" He lightly tapped his right foot, and only heard the sound of cracking masonry, and the bluestone slab under his feet was actually stepped on by him.
It cracked like a spider web.
Although Hu Xiaotian had been mentally prepared, he couldn't help but be surprised at this moment. Zhou Batian's force was so amazing. If he really had murderous intentions towards him, he might not be able to escape death. Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but regret that he shouldn't have let Murong do it just now.
Fei Yan left.
Zhou Batian said: "You will be your magistrate, and I will be my prisoner. It is best for you and me to live in peace and harmony!" He stood up and walked outside.
Hu Xiaotian stopped him and said, "Stop!"
Zhou Batian stopped and Hu Xiaotian came to his side and whispered: "If you don't know what to do, don't do anything but yourself. Since I can see your flaws, others can too, and I have no ill intentions towards you."
Zhou Batian slowly turned to Hu Xiaotian and said: "Everyone must ask for something when they are polite. You are so polite to me, a prisoner, do you want me to help you with something?"
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said, "I just admire Brother Zhou's heroic spirit, so I want to be friends with you."
Zhou Batian laughed and said, "It's weird to believe you!" He opened the door and walked straight away.
Murong Feiyan returned to the room immediately and was relieved to see that Hu Xiaotian was safe and sound. Although she was very curious about the conversation between Hu Xiaotian and Zhou Batian, she did not inquire in detail.
In the afternoon, Wan Boping of Wan Mansion specially sent Wan Changchun, the butler of Wan Mansion, to come over and send a greeting note, inviting Hu Xiaotian to go to Wan Mansion for a banquet that night. Hu Xiaotian knew that Wan Boping must know what happened today, and the reason for inviting him there must be this.
So he happily agreed.
Hu Xiaotian, two servants of Wanfu, were temporarily put into prison and ordered to go down. No one was allowed to release them without his own orders. As for Jia Dewang and Jia Liu, each of them was hit with ten big boards and fined ten taels of silver. They were left alone.
They left each other.
County magistrate Xu Qinglian never showed up that day, and Hu Xiaotian happily spent a day as the boss of the county government on his first day in office.
In the evening of the same day, after Hu Xiaotian retired, he was invited to Wanfu. At this time, he no longer had to conceal his identity. He took Liang Dazhuang to Wanfu in a carriage. When Wan Boping heard that he was coming, he hurriedly waited in front of the door.
Yuan cupped his hands and said, "Master Hu, it's so hard for you to hide this from me!" Wan Boping had a happy face and said nothing about what happened in the court during the day.
Hu Xiaotian laughed heartily. Although he had just entered the officialdom, he had already mastered the skill of concealing a knife in his smile: "If I had revealed my identity before, would Wan Yuanwai still believe that I could see a doctor?"
Wan Boping was full of thoughts at this time. Ever since he learned that two servants testified that his eldest son was the culprit who caused his second son's serious injury, he became restless. However, Wan Boping also knew that he must not act too hastily at this time, otherwise he would have to commit suicide.
He was in chaos. He was still unclear about the new county magistrate's plans. Although two servants had been imprisoned by him, he did not send police officers to his house to arrest them. Wan Boping knew that there must be one of them.
After reading the article, I thought of Hu Xiaotian's extortion against me before, and vaguely guessed that if someone caught me this time, I was afraid that it would cost a lot more, and I couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in my heart.
Hu Xiaotian didn't mention anything about today's trial. He first proposed to visit Wan Tingsheng's injury. He also changed Wan Tingsheng's dressing. Regardless of Hu Xiaotian's official position, Hu Xiaotian's medical skills alone have been praised by everyone in the Wan family.
Treated as a distinguished guest. Wan Tingsheng was already awake at this time, but he was too weak to speak.
Wan Boping and his wife were also very happy because their son's condition improved. After Hu Xiaotian changed the medicine, he handed the skull that was knocked off Wan Tingsheng's head to Wan Boping.
Boping's heart trembled when he took the skull.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Leave a souvenir."
Wan Boping couldn't help but smile bitterly. What's so commemorative about this white skull? He opened the skull and looked at it. There were three small characters written with a brush on it - Wan Tingsheng, with a red circle drawn on it. According to Hu Xiaotian
It was used to calm the soul. Wan Boping handed the skull to Wan Changchun to keep, and then invited Hu Xiaotian to the flower hall for dinner. Liang Dazhuang was accompanied by Wan Changchun to another place to drink and eat. Hu Xiaotian understood at a glance that Wan Boping
I just want to discuss it with myself alone.
The two sat down in the flower hall. Wan Boping was also a cunning person. He did not take the initiative to bring up today's case, but asked about his son's injury: "Master Hu, let me tell you how many days it will take for Ting Sheng to fully recover?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "The stitches will be removed in six days. I will need to rest for a while. I think it will be back to normal in two months at most."
Wan Boping was completely relieved when he heard that his son was fine. He sighed deliberately and said, "These two unscrupulous men of mine are really giving me a headache!"
Hu Xiaotian picked up the wine glass and drank a glass and said: "Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. I pity the hearts of parents in the world. Hey, out of ten thousand people, why haven't I seen your eldest son?"
Wan Boping cursed in his heart, weren't you asking questions knowingly? Today in court you pointed the finger at my son, scaring him so much that he fled to Xiezhou without even daring to return home. Now you are still pretending. Wan Boping
Boping said: "I asked him to send a batch of goods to the South Vietnam border and he will not come back in a short time."
Hu Xiaotian slowly put down his wine glass, took a sip of food, and returned to the topic: "Wan Yuanwai, I think you all know what happened in the court today."
Wan Boping no longer had any need to hide anything, nodded and said: "I have heard a little bit about this matter. The two servants, one is called Zhao Liang and the other is Guo Biao."
Hu Xiaotian said: "They said something unfavorable to the eldest son in public in the lobby." He took out two confessions from his arms and slowly placed them in front of Wan Boping. In fact, what Hu Xiaotian was doing now was against the rules.
Wan Boping picked up the confession and read it, and couldn't help but feel a little frightened. This was a huge scandal to the Wan family. Although Wan Boping had learned all about the matter before, but seeing the servant's confession with his own eyes, he still felt
He couldn't help being a little shocked. He pursed his lips, slapped the confession on the table, and said angrily: "It's really unreasonable. These slaves actually dare to frame me and insult my son's innocence!" Only Wan Boping himself knew what he was doing.
