Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

The four of them had a hearty meal, and even Wuye, who had always paid attention to his health, had a round belly and leaned back in a chair to rest.

"By the way, when we were in Sushui County, I heard that you had a younger sister?" Gu Yue asked.

"How do you know?" Wu Ye asked.

"I was just outside watching the fun at the time, and coincidentally, that boss named Gui owed me two taels of silver." Gu Yue replied.

"So that's how it is. My younger sister Wu Yue stayed in Luoyang and didn't come with you this time." Wu Ye didn't say much.

It was Gu Xu who explained to him: "Wu Yue is also from Wu Clan."

Gu Yue nodded, he knew this.

Wumen had been undercover beside Qin Zhaoyue early in the morning, so how he persuaded Gu Xu to get close to the prince... If you think about it carefully, it would easily lead to misunderstanding.

Gu Yue was sweating profusely.

Who knew the plot would turn out like this?

However, since Gu Xu wanted to plant people around Qin Zhaoyue, he probably had some plans to form an alliance with the crown prince one day or something else. But why didn't he take action?

You can't be staying in that poor place of Liuli Town just for yourself.

Gu Yue laughed dryly, it's not impossible.

When he first came here, he couldn't bear to be a bad guy. In Gu Xu's eyes, he was full of flaws.

Just as he was drinking tea and taking a break, there was a commotion outside, as if there was something exciting going on. Gu Yue turned his head and saw that the people on the street were all walking in one direction, and there was also the faint sound of drums.

"It seems to be the complaint drum of the county government." Gu Xu carefully identified it.

This town is quite large and its administrative level is the same as a county, so there is a county government office.

"What a coincidence! Just now when we mentioned the case in Sushui County, the county government here is also busy." Gu Yue said with a smile, "We have to get information in the town anyway, why don't we go and watch the fun?"

Gu Xu and the other two had no objection, so Gu Yue paid the bill. After leaving the restaurant and leading the horses, they walked slowly towards the county government office without any hurry.

From a distance, I could see a crowd of people gathered in front of the gate of the county government office. The gate was usually open when handling cases here, so although I was far away, I could still barely see what was going on inside.

As I got closer, I saw that the people watching the scene all had resentful expressions on their faces, and they kept talking, with their necks stretched out.

what's wrong?

Before he could listen carefully to what the people were saying, he heard the county magistrate shouting angrily, "You ignorant woman! Liu Kang was a legitimate servant who was authorized by the government to manage official slaves. You said he killed your husband without any evidence. In my opinion, this is a false accusation!"

Kneeling on the ground was a woman in coarse cloth, with her hair tied up in a bun, and she was dressed very neatly.

She said, "My Lord, the county magistrate, it's not an empty statement! My husband has a coin purse with a mandarin duck pattern in gold thread, and he has always treasured it very much. But a few days ago, I saw it at Liu Kang's house! Even if he was giving money to someone, why would he give away the coin purse embroidered by his wife?"

Gu Yue was completely confused and quickly asked the old man who was watching the fun next to him: "What's going on?"

The old man said, "This woman said that her husband said he wanted to be introduced by Liu Kang to work, but he has not been heard from for four months. She suspects that Liu Kang killed her husband."

The man on the side interrupted and said, "When the county magistrate heard the name Liu Kang, he treated it like his own father and said it was impossible."

"That's right. We should at least send someone to ask, right?" an aunt said.

Gu Yue glanced at Gu Xu, who also frowned.

The county magistrate looked down at him and continued, "Woman, how did you know what was in Liu Kang's house? Could it be that you two were having an affair?"

Gu Yue was stunned for a moment. He saw that the yamen runners standing on both sides had mocking expressions and looked at the woman with strange eyes, obviously they were imagining something.

The woman seemed very angry, but still spoke clearly, "The day before yesterday, I went to Liu Kang's house to inquire about my husband's whereabouts, and that's when I saw the money bag. Sir, why didn't you summon Liu Kang to the scene to inquire, but instead slandered me?"

"Humph! Liu Kang is an honest citizen and an official appointed by the court. How could you damage his reputation without reason? But you, a bold woman, falsely accuse an official with just a money bag. Come here! Give him thirty lashes first!" The county magistrate threw something.

The bailiffs immediately surrounded them.

Gu Yue was angry. Isn't this a bit stupid? !

The people around were also talking about it. If this happened in modern times, it would have been a hot search topic for three days.

"Stop!" Gu Yue shouted in the crowd.

The yamen runners inside all turned their heads to look at the door. Gu Yue pushed aside the people gathered in front of him and squeezed into the county yamen, with Shi San following closely behind.

Seeing this, Gu Xu handed the reins to Wu Ye, took out his hat and put it on his head, then followed in.

The county magistrate looked at the group of people who strode in and said with embarrassment: "Who are you and why are you trespassing in the court?"

Gu Yue did not answer. He stepped forward and pushed away the yamen runners who were surrounding the woman. He stood in front of her, facing the county magistrate who was sitting above him, and began to criticize him: "Do all officials of Northern Qin judge cases like you? When did the pawnbroker become an official of the imperial court? Did the emperor agree with the laws of Northern Qin that you set?"

The county magistrate had probably never seen someone speak so boldly, and his face turned pale with fear: "You are committing a serious crime by trespassing in the court!"

Gu Yue wanted to say to the woman, look, when you’re arguing, don’t always justify yourself by agreeing with the other person. Like this county magistrate, he didn’t give a direct answer. Isn’t that infuriating?

He said, "If you give her thirty strokes of the cane, this girl might be dead. You are using torture to kill her and covering up the disappearance of her husband. Is that right or wrong?"

The county magistrate's face froze.

Gu Yue did not give him a chance to speak: "You must have colluded with Liu Kang, and maybe there is some Longyang deal. Otherwise, why would you protect a small agent so much that you even refused to let the heir come to question him, and you also said nonsense that he is an official appointed by the court? Are you deeply in love with him?"

Don't you love to make up dirty rumors? If you do, I will do the same!

The people outside heard it and were in an uproar.

Gu Xu lowered his hat and tried to hold back his laughter.

"Who are you? You are talking nonsense here!" The county magistrate was sweating.

Gu Yue sneered, reached into his arms, and was about to take out the prince's token to show off his power.

But halfway through, he changed his mind.

"I'm just a person passing by here and seeing injustice." Gu Yue said coldly.

He pulled up the woman who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Kneeling before this kind of bastard official is like kneeling on a pile of shit!"

"You petty thief, this county will first punish you for contempt of court. Catch them all!" The county magistrate finally reacted and became furious. He waved his hand and the bailiffs rushed forward with sticks in their hands.

Gu Xu was willing to be a thug, and together with Shi San, he protected Gu Yue. Shi San had already taken the lead, kicking the fastest ones to the ground.

"Don't hold back, beat him up!" Gu Yue said, "Let's not beat the guy up there this time. If we provoke him, it'll be tough."

Then he took the completely confused girl, grabbed her and ran away!
