As soon as Xu Qian stepped into the county government office, he heard a voice with a cry: "big brother..."

it was Xu Lingyue, who was wearing a light blue robe, with tears on her beautiful white face and red and swollen eyes, just like a lovely little flower.

I don't see Xu Lingyin around me. Maybe I didn't let him come here.

Xu Qian nodded slightly and gave her a calm look.

Zhu county magistrate Gao, who had already received the news, saw the Yamen escorting a group of people in front of the desk, and saw the angry young master of royal guards.

Lao Zhu was startled and got up in a hurry.

"Ouch, isn't this Mr. Zhou? How is Mr. Zhou?"

The young master of royal guards waved his sleeve fiercely and forced the county magistrate Zhu away. He pointed to Xu Qi'an and said: "this man is murdering in the street. If you want to kill me, take him down as soon as possible."

"it's a heavy statement, and a heavy word." Zhu county magistrate accompanied by a smiling face, turned his head and looked up with anger, "Kwai Xu Qian, not rolling over."

Xu Qi'an went up with a stiff head.

"Son of a bitch, even Mr. Zhou, the Minister of the Ministry of accounts, dares to fight. How many brains do you have?" County Magistrate Zhu kicks Xu Qi'an, turns his head, and licks the dog with a smile:

"Mr. Zhou, this is the flood rushing to the Dragon King temple. They are all from his own family. You don't care about the villains. Don't worry about him."

Outside the crowd, Xu Lingyue looks at her cousin, whose tears are rolling because she has been criticized. She is more delicate than an ordinary woman, and her nose is red.

Mr. Xu Qi'an, the son of the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of household, was deeply worried.

In the officialdom of Dafeng Dynasty, the energy of an official depends not on his rank, but on his background and power.

There are many first and second grade officials, but only a small number of them really stand at the peak of power.

The book of ministers and ministers of the six divisions are listed here.

He hit the son of the Chamberlain of the household department, which made a lot of trouble.

"Don't worry about it. I'll do it myself." With a big wave of his hand, Mr. Zhou ordered his retinue: "arrest this boy for me."

He didn't believe it. In the county government, the boy dared to resist the attack.

Zhu county magistrate cheered: "Whoever dares to commit violence in the county yamen will be killed."

The Yamen servant of the third class rushed out, drew out his sword and put it on the neck of the retinue who was about to start.

The white soldiers were on guard with sticks.

"Zhu, dare you touch my people?" Mr. Zhou pointed to Zhu's nose and swore.

"Don't get me wrong, Mr. Zhou. I'm an official appointed by the imperial court. I'm just following the rules." County Magistrate Zhu still licked the dog's smile and touched the spittle on his face:

"I have a lawsuit against you for riding a horse and bullying a good woman. The accuser is Xu Lingyue. "

This is a method that Zhu county magistrate has prepared for a long time. If the other party is just an ordinary yamen, Zhu county magistrate will try to make the big things smaller and the small things smaller.

I just didn't expect that the victim was the son of the Chamberlain of the household department.

"Ah, who's the one who's hurt? Bully good family woman, surnamed Zhu, you go to the street to ask, have I touched a finger of this woman? "

"That's probably because the woman is mistaken." County Magistrate Zhu took the lawsuit back into his sleeve with a smile.

Sorry, the magistrate of Zhu county is not sure. I have to find a way to help myself. If I can't, I'll run away... But it will definitely affect the second uncle's family. Xu Qi'an is a little anxious. In this era, only the second generation of officials can compete with the second generation of Fu officials. His rank is far from that of others.

Don't say it's him, even if it's the second uncle, what's a hundred families of the imperial sword guard in front of the family's Chamberlain?

It's nothing.

As for regret, no, the knife is on the neck, is it for others to cut?

Suddenly, he saw one of Mr. Zhou's retinues leave the county government, but Mr. Zhu didn't stop him.

Xu Qi'an's heart cooled a little. He went to Constable Wang and said in a low voice, "chief, I'm doomed today. I want to ask you something."

Constable Wang was silent for a moment and said in a low voice, "you say it."

In the past month, the relationship between Xu Qi'an and him has developed by leaps and bounds. Every day, he has gone to GouLan to play, drank flower wine together, and forged a deep friendship.

"Lend me a silver or two first."

Constable Wang felt in his arms and found a handful of broken silver, less than one or two.

Xu Qi'an took the broken silver and put it in his pocket. Then he said, "chief, you can go to my house as soon as you can. Go to my bedside cupboard and get a book, a blue book. Remember not to take it wrong."

The diary is a light yellow cover.

"After you take the book, immediately go to the Tianjian, find a girl named Caiwei, and send a message for me: Xu Qian is in trouble, save him quickly."

Si Tianjian?! Constable Wang hesitated, "is that a man like me who can go to that place?"

Let him into the sky, is equivalent to let ordinary people into the palace, not even close to the courage.

Xu Qi'an knew it was like this and said in a low voice, "I'm going to have an accident, but no one will return the silver to you."

Constable Wang's eyes widened."Help me do this, and you'll get the salary next month."

"Xu Qi'an is your uncle's Constable Wang rushes out of the county government.

...

after receiving the notice, Xu Pingzhi borrowed horses from his colleagues and rushed to the Yamen of Changle County.

Stepping into the threshold and entering the court, I first saw my daughter, who was crying and shaking, followed by the Yamen servants and retinues.

Xu Pingzhi drew back his eyes and came to his daughter. He asked seriously, "what's the matter?"

Xu Lingyue seems to see the Savior, crying more fierce, sobbing to tell his father what happened.

When he heard that his son raised his horse's hooves to trample on his young daughter, the corners of his eyes jumped and his face became more and more gloomy.

"If it wasn't for the elder brother, the ring tone would be gone, Wuwu..."

Ning Yan... Xu Pingzhi looked at his nephew's figure, closed his eyes and calmed down for a few seconds, and said in a low voice, "go to the pianting hall and watch the ring tone, don't come out."

Looking at the disappearance of his daughter's trotting back, Xu Pingzhi came forward in silence and stared at the young master of royal guards: "Mr. Zhou, can this be done?"

The young master of the royal guards looked into his eyes, as if he felt the real intention of killing him. He remembered what Xu Qi'an had said in the street.

I can't squeeze the rave out of my throat.

"Xu Baihu is such a big official. Why, if my son doesn't give up, you still want to splash five steps?"

An old man in a blue gown, with gold rims on his sleeves and neckline, and a jade pendant hanging from his waist came in through the gate of the county government.

His hair was more white than black, his face was thin, and his eyes were sharp as if he had hidden a needle.

He was still at the door when he made a sound. When he finished speaking, he had already arrived at the court.

"Uncle Chen." Young master Jinyi was overjoyed.

"How did you get hurt like this, young master? Which damn animal moved his hand. The old slave watched the young master grow up, it was a little bit hurt on the heartache of tight

The old man was distressed and angry when he saw the earlobe with blood scab.

"I've told the master several times that I'll give you a master to practice Qi. He always refuses on the ground that you like to make trouble."

"What about making trouble? It is better for others to suffer than for you, young master. "

He felt that he was locked by a stream of Qi. Xu Pingzhi fell into the ice cellar like a snake on his back. He felt that he was wandering on the edge of life and death.

Similar feelings often occur when fighting on the battlefield, which makes him dare not move.

This old man is a master of refining the divine realm.

County Magistrate Zhu coughed: "you are..."

"dare not!" The old man interrupted blandly, "I'm just an old slave in the Zhou family. I can't afford to be Mr. Zhu's" you. "

"You're very polite, old man." The seven grade official in front of the prime minister's door, the truth is most clear in officialdom. County magistrate Zhu laughs: "look at this, it's all misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding. Jingcha is around the corner. We all value harmony. What do you think, senior

The old man sneered: "a few insignificant little people can't affect the master's Beijing inspection. The Zhou government has always convinced people by virtue, and everything is done according to the rules and regulations of the imperial court. "

The crowd didn't understand him at first, until a moment later, the disorderly and loud footsteps came from outside the Yamen.

Then, a group of strong and sharp Jia Shi came in, led by an official wearing a green robe and embroidering Silver Pheasant. He looked around and said in a loud voice:

"the Ministry of punishment will arrest the criminals, and the others will retreat. If they interfere, they will be punished with the same crime."

After a pause, the green robed five grade official squeezed out a smiling face at Mr. Zhou: "Mr. Zhou, I ask you where the criminals are."

Master Zhou pointed to Xu Qi'an: "lock this dog thing for me."

"Take it down," he said with a big hand

They rushed up, took out the shackles and locked Xu Qi'an.

"My Lord, what's wrong with my nephew!" Xu Pingzhi is in a hurry.

"I will decide whether there is a crime or not." Qingpao Wupin Guan said lightly: "as a doctor of the Ministry of punishment, I want to enforce the law impartially and meticulously."

Xu Pingzhi still wanted to speak, but he was held by Zhu county magistrate.

"Take it away!"
