Chapter 24 Shangyu County government

When Mr. Mingyue heard that Hongxiu was also going to save the woman who sold art, he was surprised to catch up and said, "When did you become so kind?"

The red-sleeved knife sneered: "It doesn't matter. If I love it, I will save it. If I don't love it, even if you kneel and beg me, I won't go."

Mr. Mingyue sighed, "It turns out that the female demon also has a time to be kind."

Hongxiu said, "You don't have to praise me. I'm a brothel woman, a fox spirit, and a broken shoe. I can't stand the ridicule of a sanctimonies like you."

Mingyue felt a fever on the face and was speechless.

Hongxiu sneered and said, "The world is full of you men demanding women. Do you know that there are fewer encounters like women in the world? You don't understand women's suffering at all. Is it a sin for a woman to look good? It's all your fault for seeing a loving and heartless stinky man.

Mr. Mingyue smiled bitterly and couldn't help but listen to the red-sleeved silver bell-like voice and complain, as if he was really a flowery radish.

The two asked the road of the county government and rushed side by side. Along the way, the men and women saw that one of them was dressed in a moon-white gown, rich and handsome, and the other was dressed in gorgeous red silk, as bright as peaches and plums, and they both secretly applauded.

Mr. Mingyue estimated that they were still visiting the ancient temple fair in the dark night. Fortunately, the temple fair was far away from the magistrate's mansion. Otherwise, it would be very bad if they encountered it. Even so, Mingyue still couldn't rest assured. She hurriedly and couldn't wait to rush to the county magistrate immediately.

On the way, the red-sleeved knife discussed, "How can we break into other people's private houses at will in broad daylight? We have to walk through the back door, sneak in quietly, and let you carry them out."

Mr. Mingyue said strangely, "How can I recite it? I'm different from her.

The red-sleeved knife said coldly, "Are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid? Only when you carry her out can you appear to be a hero to save the beauty. I know you men very well.

Mr. Mingyue couldn't help shaking his head and smiled bitterly. Suddenly, he saw a group of people in a hurry. When he approached, he heard a few angry and scolding, clamoring to sue the county magistrate. It turned out that it was the group of leaders who were angry and anxious, and led the crowd to go to the government.

Mr. Mingyue was stunned and asked, "Isn't Ling Ai robbed by the young master of Zhixian County? His father is the local parents. Why do you still want to sue?

The old man turned his eyes and said angrily, "I just want to sue the county magistrate and accuse him of impergency and robbed the people's daughter. I just want to return this justice!"

Mr. Mingyue shook his head and said, "Isn't this hitting the blade? Will the county magistrate punish his son? Isn't it boring for my father-in-law?"

The red-sleeved knife said, "You also take care of others with your own heart. Maybe it is unknown that Shangyu County Magistrate is a clean official. Due to his reputation, even if you don't punish your son, it is still possible to release your father-in-law's daughter."

Mingyue still didn't believe it. Hongxiu simply said, "Why don't we bet on whether the Yu County magistrate will let his daughter go?"

Mr. Mingyue said strangely, "What do you bet on?"

The red-sleeved knife thought for a long time and couldn't think of any good prize. He only said, "I bet on a host and treat you to dinner if you lose."

Mingyue muttered, "Have dinner with your demon? I'd rather not be hungry all day."

The red-sleeved knife is charming: "Do you want to bet? Are you afraid of losing money? Or are you afraid of being hooked by me?

Mr. Mingyue lowered his head and said dejectedly, "Bet!"

The group came to Shangyu County government. Seeing that the door of the government was deserted, they must have gone to the ancient temple fair after a holiday. The old man ran to the door and beat the drum and shouted injustice. He had already shocked the duty inside and hurried out, "Hey! Which old man, Fu, know that today's temple fair, do all the officials have three days off?

The old man selling art shouted injustice and couldn't help knocking, "I'm going to sue your county magistrate!" He condoned his son to rob the people's daughter, and I want to sue the official!"

On duty, he sneered and said, "Old man! I'm afraid you're crazy. Since ancient times, there has been no reason for the people to sue officials. It must be the mean people in other counties who want to blackmail two money. Hey hey, wait! Let's see how our master teaches you a lesson.

The old man put his hands on his waist, raised his eyebrows, and stood there waiting in a stunned manner.

Mr. Mingyue was quite worried about him. After all, he had no reason to save people in the court. Moreover, like this old man roared in a hurry, he lost a lot in theory.

When the people around heard that there were officials, they rushed to see the scene and surrounded a deserted street.

After a meal, several government officials came out, opened the door and said loudly, "Master, go to the hall! Bring the plaintiff!"

There are also many people who listen to the hall together. Mr. Mingyue usually has little leisure to watch other people's lawsuits and never enters the government office. Today, he can taste something fresh and stand outside the hall with Hongxiu.

It was said that it was a public court, but at first glance, it looked solemn and serious. The government officials set up two boxes. The county magistrate had not yet come to the court. The big plaque was engraved with a bright mirror hanging high, a three-foot public case and a fire sign, which could not be more ordinary.

Everyone waited quietly. After a while, the county magistrate came out. Mr. Mingyue looked up and felt a little funny. Although his son was fat, the county magistrate described him as dry and thin, his eyes were blank, and his footsteps were empty. Mingyue was feeling strange and doubting whether the fat man was his own son, so he heard Hongxiu whispering coldly. He said coldly, "Sure enough, he is not a good official. At first glance, he has hollowed out his body."

Mingyue was stunned and sighed that it was really an experienced man stretching out his hand, and he knew whether he had it or not. Even this could be seen. He was worthy of being a veteran of Fengyue.

Seeing that the official was quite impatient, he swayed to the seat, patted the wooden, and shouted, "Who under the hall shouted injustice! Report it by name."

Although the old man was angry for a while, he also knew the rules. He quickly knelt down and kowtowed and said, "Mr. Qingtian is on the top, and Mr. Wang of Caomin Xuancheng, pay a visit to the old man."

Zhixian said, "What's wrong with you? Tell me quickly."

The old man who sold art said that he was the foreman to sell art for a living. At the ancient temple fair, the little girl was robbed by a local dung bellied. After careful explanation, he did not say that the prince was the county magist.

Zhixian was really angry: "That's not good, come on! Take more servants and arrest the defendant!" After saying that, he withdrew the fire signature and was about to throw it. A well-informed person in the hall said, "Sir, slow down! The defendant is the eldest son of the master.

The county magistrate was stunned, and everyone in the hall was already laughing. The old man who sold art hurriedly said, "Little people are brave. It's the fat young master of your family who robbed my daughter."

Zhixian said angrily, "Nonsense. My son is still attacking books in the study at this moment. How can there be a leisure temple? Besides, there are many fat people in the world? What evidence do you have? It's simply nonsense. How dare you slander the son of my official. Come on! Call me out!"

Mr. Mingyue shook his head and sighed. If he had known this was the result, it took time. Perhaps it would not have been known that Caixia, an actress, became the concubine of the county young master at this moment.

Old Wang said hurriedly, "Your Excellency, please wait! There are many witnesses here who have seen it with their own eyes and say it's your son!"

The county magistrates laughed angrily: "The people you brought, who collude with you, can't count the people of this county! Who came out to testify?"

The spectators who were originally brought by Mr. Wang were afraid of the power of their parents and officials and stared at each other. Some said, "We only saw a fat young master, and we didn't see clearly whether he was a big son..."

Zhixian snorted and shouted, "Come on, hit this old man's 40th board and punish you for the crime of slander."

At this moment, the red-sleeved knife beside Mr. Mingyue said loudly, "Slow! The little woman can testify!"
