New widow

Everything shows that Shangshu Mansion no longer has the same momentum as before. If Shangshu Mansion can still rely on it, Chuzhi County will naturally not be so harsh on the Qiu family, but now Shangshu Mansion can no longer rely on it, let alone the housekeeper of Shangshu Mansion.

The prefect just smiled and said, "You are new to officialdom and you don't know one thing yet."

"Please give me some advice!" Chu County Magistrate saluted respectfully, and the magistrate stretched out his hand and nodded: "Don't do it to the extreme. If you want to do it to the extreme, then you have to eradicate the root. If you do this, you haven't eradicated the root, and you have done it to the extreme. , people naturally hate you."

"Then how can there be room for change in this matter?" Magistrate Chu saluted again, and the magistrate smiled: "Of course, the blame will be placed on others."

"Then Kuang..." Magistrate Chu thought of Su Qiao and shook his head again. A cold light flashed in the magistrate's eyes: "At this time, either you will die or she will die. Of course I want her to die."

Either you die or she dies. Chu Zhixian read these words with a chill in his eyes. In this case, he will start from the root and take Su Qiao's life.

So the magistrate of Chu County bowed to the magistrate and said, "Please take this paper."

The magistrate laughed loudly. Only now did Chu Magistrate finally understand the principles of being an official.

"Something happened." Zhang Qing hurriedly pushed open Su Du's study door. Su Du looked at Zhang Qing: "What happened?"

"The County Magistrate of Chu handed a piece of paper to the magistrate's office, accusing Madam Kuang of poisoning Mrs. Chu to death. At this moment, the magistrate has issued a ticket and ordered people to arrest Madam Kuang." Zhang Qing said hurriedly.

The pen in Su Du's hand fell to the ground: "Didn't you say that they didn't dare to arrest Mrs. Song Wu when she was here?"

"Last time, it was the magistrate's wife who took someone there, so it would be easy to deal with the one who spoke unjustly. This time, it was Chu Magistrate who handed over the petition, issued the ticket, and the yamen went." Zhang Qing knew that Su Du was I was so distracted that I didn't think of the difference, so I hurriedly explained it in detail.

"Then I'll go take a look first." Su Du just said this in a hurry and ran out. Zhang Qing looked at Su Du's back and couldn't help but sigh softly. Su Du was concerned and confused. Otherwise, how could he even get involved in the Yamen? All these things have been completely forgotten.

When Brother Zhou received the tickets, he couldn't help but look at the paperwork in shock: "This, this, I didn't bring anyone back last time."

"Last time, the prefect's wife took you there, but this time it's different." The clerk knew what Brother Zhou was worried about, so he patted Brother Zhou on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"If..." Brother Zhou only asked this question, and the clerk smiled again: "What's wrong with it?"

"What I mean is that there is a noble lady from the capital in her family at the moment. If she is still stopped, then we, we will..." Before Brother Zhou could finish his words, he was interrupted by the clerk: "You too People who have been in public affairs for a long time, why are they so hesitant now? No matter how good others are, can they still be beaten on your behalf?"

Brother Zhou immediately understood that if he didn't go forward, or if he went and couldn't catch the person, he would be punished.

"Understood." Brother Zhou only said this, and the clerk was already looking at him: "The prefect always values ​​you very much, don't let him down."

"Yes!" Brother Zhou saluted the clerk again, and then the clerk patted Brother Zhou on the shoulder: "Other people's business belongs to others. For people like you and me, as long as we get things done, that's enough. ”

"Thank you for the tip." After Brother Zhou finished speaking, he looked at the paperwork and walked out. Only then did Brother Zhou call a servant: "Go to Brother Wan's shop and talk to him. At this moment, I will go and press Mr. I mean to take people with me.”

The yamen servant responded and ran away in a hurry. Brother Zhou sighed, then ordered everyone and walked out.

Wan Dequan was still doing business when he saw the government servant walking in. Wan Dequan smiled and said, "Why do you have time to come here today?"

The yamen servant did not say hello to Wan Dequan, but hurriedly told Wan Dequan what brother Zhou asked him to bring. Wan Dequan's expression suddenly became very surprised, and he looked at the yamen servant: "It's like this."

"I don't know why you did this, but Uncle Wan, you'd better make arrangements early." After saying this, the yamen servant bowed to Wan Dequan and left in a hurry.

Wan Dequan thought for a moment and asked the waiter to greet him, then walked out. As soon as he reached the street, he saw Brother Zhou leading the government servants out of the city. Wan Dequan immediately turned around and wanted to take a shortcut back.

Wan Dequan could be regarded as running around and hurried back to the house. As soon as he opened the door, he heard laughter coming from the main room. Thinking of the news he had brought, Wan Dequan's heart became a little heavy.

Aunt Wan was walking out of the main room with snacks in her hands. When she saw her husband coming back, Aunt Wan couldn't help but stop and look at him: "What's wrong with you? You're so scared that your face is so pale?"

"The prefect issued a ticket and said he wanted to arrest his niece." As soon as Wan Dequan finished speaking, the snacks in Aunt Wan's hand fell to the ground: "How could it be? Did you hear it wrong?"

"Brother Zhou took the tickets and is bringing people here now." Wan Dequan said briefly. Su Qiao had already walked out of the main room. Wan Dequan looked at Su Qiao: "I think you'd better go and avoid it." Avoid."

"Where can we go to escape?" Su Qiao asked back. Mrs. Song Wu had already walked out: "Let's get into the car now. Let's go back to the capital. I'll see if he dares to enter the British government to arrest people."

"That's right, let's go back to the capital." In her panic, Aunt Wan could only think of this solution.

"I'm leaving, what about you?" Suqiao asked again, Wan Dequan's eyebrows were already frowning: "It's already this time, so don't think about what we will do."

"Yes, of course we have a way." As Aunt Wan said, she pushed Suqiao out and shouted loudly to the outside: "Hurry, quickly hit the car and take them back to the capital."

"Aunt!" Suqiao held Aunt Wan's hand tightly. Aunt Wan couldn't get rid of Suqiao's hand. She could only look at Suqiao with tears falling: "What are you doing?"

"Aunt, I won't leave." Suqiao looked at Aunt Wan: "If I leave, who will I become? I will leave the whole house behind just for me to escape alone."

"But, but..." Wan Dequan was so anxious that he couldn't speak clearly: "That prison is not a good place. You, a girl from a good family, will not be able to get out if you enter that prison."

A woman from a good family would be killed if she went to jail. Suqiao raised her lips and smiled: "I know where the prison is, and I also know that my uncle is worried about me, but all my life, I just want to walk and sit upright."

Su Qiao never paid attention to those ghostly tricks. Aunt Wan's tears fell: "I know, I know you have always thought this way, but Suqiao is different, different."
