Looking at the two people crying with snot and tears on the ground, Lin Nuo and Xiu'er talked in a low voice.
"You go to Anyi County, rescue the Zhao brothers' families and control them, and I will take these two people to Nanchang Mansion overnight, and have them report the crime as soon as it gets dark!"
Xue Xiuer nodded in agreement. Since Lin Nuo wanted to use this matter to explore the current official situation of the Ming Dynasty, she did not want to get entangled in this matter.
She raised her hand and flipped it over, and two elixirs emitting light green light appeared in her hands. Then she pinched Zhao Da and Zhao Er's necks and took out these two eerie-looking elixirs.
He forced it into their mouths.
"You...what did you give us to eat?"
Zhao Da grabbed his throat and asked in horror while retching.
"Secret poison, if I don't have the antidote in three days, you will definitely die!"
"I will go to Anyi County tonight to rescue your family, but if you dare to recant your confession tomorrow in the government office, not only will you die, but your parents and family will also die!"
After saying that, regardless of whether the two of them kept their words in mind, Xue Xiuer took the sword from Lin Nuo's hand and turned to leave.
"Xiu'er!" Lin Nuo suddenly said.
"Huh?" Xue Xiuer paused slightly and turned sideways, with doubts in her bright eyes.
"You don't need to know the specific appearance and location of their parents and family?"
"No need! I have my own way!"
As soon as she finished speaking, her figure suddenly moved several meters sideways, and then disappeared into the night like a civet cat in a few jumps.
"Remember, don't show up in court!"
In the dim night, Xiu'er's voice came, telling Lin Nuo that he could only intervene in this matter secretly and not expose himself to the public.
Hearing this, Lin Nuo chuckled. After spending more than half a year together, his wife, who was cold on the outside and warm on the inside, became more and more like a virtuous wife.
"Hero, can that heroine really save my parents?"
After seeing Xue Xiuer's flying skills, Zhao Da no longer called Mr. Lin Nuo, but called him a hero. In the eyes of the two Zhao brothers, they had met a hero in the world today.
Scholar.
"Don't worry, if my wife takes action, no one in the entire county can be her enemy. Don't worry about your parents!"
Looking up and staring at the moon covered by clouds, Lin Nuo clapped his hands, pointed to the hole where the two female corpses were buried and said: "Don't be idle, bury them quickly, and then go to Nanchang Mansion to report to the official."

.......
The next morning, in front of the Yamen of Nanchang Prefecture, many petty officials filed out of the Yamen. They wore festive red silks on their chests, carried gongs and drums in their hands, and carried red packages behind them. They rushed towards various inns with great joy.
go.
Today is the day when the Qiu Wei List is released, and it is also the busiest day in the entire Nanchang Mansion.
For the candidates who come from various states and counties, it is also an important day in their lives. From now on, whether they will be officials or civilians is basically decided by today.
However, what was supposed to be a very festive day was cast a shadow because of the arrival of two strong men with sallow complexions.
In front of the government office, Zhao and Da looked at each other, then came to the big drum in front of the door, picked up the drum hammer, and started beating it.
Beating drums to complain about grievances is not uncommon in ancient society, but it is still rare in a big city like Nanchang Prefecture. For ordinary cases, ordinary people will consciously go to the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Nanchang Prefecture to appeal.
The Young Masters came here to beat drums and complain.
"Where did you come from? Today is the grand day for the release of the results. Do you choose this time to complain because you want to make things difficult for all the government officials in the city?"
As soon as the drums sounded, the yamen servants who were on duty suddenly couldn't sit still. Today is a big day. From the prefect to the ordinary clerks, they will all go out to congratulate the candidates who passed the exam. Who has the spare time to sit in the yamen and accept lawsuits?
!
"Sir, Xiaomin Zhao Da, this is my younger brother Zhao Er. We are from Anyi County. This drumming is to sue Li Xiuwen, the magistrate of Anyi County, and accuse him of committing murder, acting as an aide, and plotting to kill someone.
Eighteen civilian women!”
Damn it!
The yamen officer who was originally on duty did not take Zhao and Da two seriously, but when he heard that a murder had occurred and that a county magistrate was involved, he immediately panicked.
A murder case is a major matter, and it must be tried no matter what the circumstances. Moreover, the matter also involves a county's parents' official. If one person fails to handle such a difficult matter, I'm afraid many people will be in trouble!
After receiving the complaint from Zhao Da, the head of the government office on duty suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
The contents of the complaint are extremely detailed. It clearly records how Li Xiuwen allowed his son to kill people and take their hearts, and how he provided him with every convenience. Even the location where the body was buried after the murder was clearly recorded. The cause and effect are clear at a glance.
.
"Come here, keep these two under strict guard. They are not allowed to have contact with anyone before the magistrate arrives!"
"You two, follow me and go to the backyard to ask the prefect to come to court to hear the case!"
...
Tongxin Inn, nearly half of the candidates taking Qiuwei this time live here.
Before dawn, many candidates had already gotten up. Some went directly to Gongyuan to see the results, while others gathered at the door and did not dare to see the results.
After Lin Nuo watched Zhao and Da enter the city, he did not continue to follow them. Instead, he returned to the inn. He simply drank a bowl of porridge and ate a few steamed buns, then returned to his room and continued to practice his internal skills.
In the complaint filed by Zhao and Da, the motive of the murder, the place, time, weapon and even the burial place of the county magistrate's family were very clearly recorded. If the prefect tried it impartially, he would only need to send someone to follow the murder place in the complaint.
If you check the place where the body is buried, the truth will be revealed.
This type of case is not difficult to try. The difficulty is not in the case, but in the entanglement in the network of various interests behind the case.
Lin Nuo no longer needs to intervene in the next thing. He only needs to wait for a result, and this result will determine his attitude towards officialdom and the Ming court in the future!
Not long after practicing, a burst of tinkling gongs and drums suddenly sounded outside the inn. The next moment, several horses stopped at the door, and everyone shouted: "Please come out, Mr. Zhang Han, congratulations on graduating from high school!"
Immediately afterwards, there was another burst of ding-dong, gongs and drums, and a burst of cheers, "Where is Mr. Sun Li? Come out quickly, you are in high school!"
This was not over yet, gongs and drums sounded one after another, cheers sounded out one after another, and the entire inn suddenly fell into an atmosphere even more lively than the Chinese New Year.
Even if Lin Nuo stayed in the room on the second floor, he opened his eyes helplessly. Practicing internal skills requires a relatively quiet environment. Nowadays, the sky is boiling outside and the gongs and drums are noisy. Even if he is in a good mood, it is difficult for him to be in this kind of environment.
In the Environmental Center, continue cultivating without any distractions.
