As for the little girls of ordinary people's homes, they were so scared that they hid in the arms of the adults as soon as they entered the court, but these two little girls were full of enthusiasm, with the expression of "coming here for a visit".
Moreover, he also contradicted the magistrate of the county.
Don't they know that this is the county magistrate?Or, did you not take the magistrate of the county seriously at all?
Gou Dongxi was stunned for a while, and couldn't help but patted the gavel in a fit of frustration and shouted: "Absurd, too absurd, two little yellow-haired girls dare to shout at the court, come here!"
The master was startled, and quickly whispered in his ear: "Master, you can't do it, you can't do it"
"What can't die, are you cursing the master?"
Gou Dongxi couldn't express his anger, so he could only growl at the master.
"Hey, who's right? It's you. If you have the ability, you should tie up Miss Ben, or Miss Ben will never end with you!"
Princess Ningyang started acting like a demon again, so what's the fun in asking casually?Why is it different from what you played in the play?
As soon as she opened her mouth, Princess An Yun was naturally not to be outdone, and also yelled: "Who is that, that's right, it's you, if you have the ability, quickly tie up Miss Ben, or hum!"
The girl didn't know whether she forgot the words or was lazy, so she saved a few words and replaced them with humming.
"puff"
"Hahaha"
The court, which was obviously very serious, was disturbed by these two little girls, and it turned into a theatre, causing all the yamen servants to burst into laughter.
Including Nie Xiaoqian and She Ji, they couldn't help biting their lips
Reserved, must remain reserved.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
"Silence! Silence"
Gou Dongxi was so angry that he patted the gavel desperately.
Finally, when the laughter subsided, Gou Dongxi yelled at Nie Xiaoqian again: "I warn you, this is a court, how can you wait for nonsense and report your name quickly!"
"My lord, we are not here to make trouble, but to sue."
Nie Xiaoqian responded calmly.
"Complaint? What kind of complaint?"
"First of all, my lord, why are there so many refugees in your county? There are even many starving to death?"
Upon hearing this, the master's face changed in shock, and he hurriedly whispered in his ear: "My lord, there is something wrong, this woman is not kind, my lord should not answer her questions, but first ask them why they killed our policeman in the street."
"Crack!" Gou Dongxi slapped the gavel immediately: "Bold, it's my officer who is asking you now, why did you ask me instead? Say, why did you kill Detective Lei?"
Nie Xiaoqian asked coldly: "Excuse me, my lord, you keep saying that we killed the policeman, who can prove it?"
"My lord, the younger one and a group of brothers saw it with their own eyes, and shopkeeper Wang can also testify."
"Okay, quickly call Shopkeeper Wang to the hall."
"Yes!"
The other two yamen servants responded, and hurried out of the court to call someone.
As a result, shopkeeper Wang was outside the court, so the two yamen servants brought him back to the court as soon as they left.
"Xiaomin kowtows to the county magistrate."
Gou Dongxi pretended to be ignorant, and asked, "Who is in the hall?"
"Returning to the adults, Xiaomin Wang Erma is the shopkeeper of the rice shop at Dongjiekou."
"Alright, Wang Erma, tell me how Captain Lei died."
"Returning to the adults, at that time, a group of unscrupulous people were instigated to forcibly break into the villain's rice store to grab food. Captain Lei quickly brought people to stop it, but it turned out"
Speaking of this, Wang Erma turned her head and pointed at Princess Ningyang and Princess Anyun: "These two little girls actually scolded Captain Lei, and Captain Lei was going to come forward to reason, but I don't know what happened, but they Forcibly grabbed it and slapped him twice.
Then, Captain Lei quickly lost his temper."
"That's right, my lord, that's the way it is. Obviously, Captain Lei died at their hands."
The yamen servant agreed.
"Absurd, he died after being slapped twice? You have to talk about evidence in everything. Have you asked him for an autopsy? Is there any conclusive evidence?"
"This"
Gou Dongxi froze for a moment, then subconsciously glanced at the master.
"Hey, the autopsy will take some time."
"My lord, it's not good, a team of officers and soldiers came outside"
At this moment, a yamen servant stumbled in.
"Ridiculous, what's so strange about officers and soldiers, they're not ours yet"
"No no not one of us"
Before the yamen servant finished speaking, more than a dozen people dressed in guard uniforms walked in majestically.
Seeing the other party's clothes, Gou Dongxi's legs went limp
He was fairly knowledgeable, and recognized at a glance that this was the exclusive costume of the Palace Guard.
"See the two princesses for humble ranks!"
"See Mrs. Gu for humble ranks!"
In the courtroom, there was a burst of sound.
"thump"
Gou Dongxi was so frightened that he wanted to stand up, but he couldn't stand firmly and fell to the ground staggeringly.
your Highness?
Madam Gu?
He finally understood why these four women were not at all afraid of going to court, but instead acted like they were superior.
Not to mention the princess, is it possible that Mrs. Gu is the wife of Jin Yi Hou Gu Ming?
Otherwise, why should these palace guards be so respectful?
Gu Ming is a first-class hereditary brocade servant, although he has resigned from office, he still enjoys the superior treatment of the imperial court in terms of rank.
Nie Xiaoqian is naturally a wife who is valued by her husband, and enjoys the treatment of a first-class imperial wife, which is also the highest treatment that a court ordered woman can enjoy.
Further up, that is the princess and the like.
"See Her Royal Highness!"
"See Mrs. Gu!"
The master came back to his senses and hurried forward to salute.
All the yamen servants followed suit.
"His Royal Highness is here!"
"Jinyi is waiting to arrive!"
Unexpectedly, there were two loud shouts outside.
Gou Dongxi finally regained his strength, turned up and faced the door
However, at this moment, his heart seemed to be weighed down by a mountain, which was heavier than ever before.At the same time, an extremely bad premonition arose spontaneously.
After all, as the saying goes, don't do bad things for people, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night.
This guy has done too many bad things, and the prince, princess, and Jin Yihou can guess why they came here at this time with their toes.
Finished!
It's all over!
Gou Dongxi is in a cold sweat
He couldn't help thinking of an old saying: If you often walk by the river, your shoes will never get wet.
"Who is the magistrate of this county?"
As soon as he entered the court, the prince asked in a cold voice.
"My humble minister Gou Gou Dongxi, see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Although the prince did not show any tokens, with the dozen or so palace guards and the fact that the prince happened to pass by this place, how could Gou Dongxi dare to have any doubts?
As for the entourage, it seems obvious that they were suspicious and pretended to leave.
"Hahaha, dog thing"
Princess Ningyang laughed unkindly.
"Hee hee, dog thing, dog thing"
Princess An Yun also booed with her sister.
"Cough, Ning Yang, An Yun, be more serious in court."
"Oh"
The two little girls responded quickly, but they were holding hands and smiling.
"What are you standing there for, hurry up, move the chair quickly"
Gou Dongxi yelled at all the yamen servants.
However, I didn't dare to speak loudly.
"Yes!"
A group of yamen servants rushed out with a few chairs.
"I don't know that His Highness the Crown Prince is coming, but I am far away from welcoming you. I hope His Highness the Crown Prince will forgive me."
"Okay, this king's visit this time is also a temporary idea, no wonder you."
"Then Wei Chen will go to arrange a hotel now."
"No, this king is here to investigate the case, not to rest."
Gou Dongxi's face changed in shock, and he said in a trembling voice, "I wonder what case His Royal Highness wants to investigate?"
"Lord Gou, has the imperial court transferred Gou Dongxi during this drought?"
Sure enough, what should come will come eventually.
This matter cannot be denied, and Gou Dongxi could only reply: "Return to His Royal Highness, the relief food has arrived in this county ten days ago, and I am currently distributing it."
"It's absurd, disaster relief is like putting out a fire, the imperial court's food arrived ten days ago, and you are still distributing ten days later in a small county?
Do you know how many people starved to death outside? "
"thump"
Gou Dongxi was startled, his legs softened, and he knelt down on the spot.
"Your Highness, please calm down. We were supposed to finish the distribution within five days. As a result, some of our subordinates were ineffective and even embezzled the relief food, so we are investigating this matter thoroughly."
This guy is also considered cunning, knowing that the embezzlement of disaster relief food cannot be hidden, so he simply confessed, but he pinned the crime to his subordinates, trying to hide it from the sky.
It's a pity, who can he hide from this little trick of his?
"Gou Dongxi, don't argue anymore, the Marquis and His Highness the Crown Prince have already visited many villages and fully grasped the conclusive evidence.
The relief food distributed to the victims may be less than one-twelfth, and it is all moldy food.
The difference is that you colluded with the grain merchants in the city, embezzled the relief food, and killed an unknown number of people, why don't you plead guilty quickly? "
"Master Gu, you are wronged, how dare the lower officials embezzle the imperial court's disaster relief food?"
"It seems that you don't shed tears when you see the coffin. This is a grain merchant in the city, right? Serious punishment!"
"Yes!"
The two guards standing on one side responded, stepped forward and dragged Wang Erma into the hall
This Wang Erma has been pampered since childhood, how can he stand up to torture?
