It was Huang Yu who saw Xia Da and the others, but Xia Hui still hated the last time Xia's family made her lose face and did not want to see them.Even Huang Yu didn't want to see them at first, because the relationship between the two of them couldn't go back to the past, and they must have something important to visit, so I tried them out.

Sure enough, they didn't leave, so Huang Yu guessed that they must be asking for something from the Huang family, and sneered in his heart: Your Xia family also has today!

When he saw Xia Da, he didn't ask anyone to greet them, and said quietly: "All cousins ​​are here, the Huang family is young, I'm afraid the cousins ​​will not like it, and they are not used to it, so I will wrong the cousins."

Huang Yu's sarcasm, even Xia Er and Xia San, who had never studied, understood it. It was a mockery of their Xia family using the Zhang family's family to step down the Huang family!And the reason why they are like this is also because they can't understand that the Huang family found an in-law who joined the army and came to the Xia family to show off their might, but now they are humiliated instead!

Xia Da didn't care, for Xia Luosi, he could bear it.

Seeing that they were all silent, Huang Yu thought they were dull and couldn't understand, so he lost the interest of being sarcastic and asked them why they came here.Xia Shiba hurriedly told him about Xia Luosi in detail, with a somewhat urgent tone.

However, Huang Yu interrupted Xia Da's words several times, urging him to get to the point.After hearing this, Huang Yu was a little surprised, and frowned, "Cousin Luosi didn't even recognize the medicines, so he asked him to open a herbal medicine store? Isn't this killing people!" I know, but you didn't invite them to take a look? !

"He didn't take the wrong medicine!" Xia Da defended Xia Luosi.

"The arrest is not wrong. The government will investigate it. Even if you believe him again, it does not mean that he did not catch the wrong medicine!"

"Then it can't be considered that he took the wrong medicine!"

Huang Yu didn't want to argue with him either, so he said, "Then what is my cousin looking for me for?"

Xia Da was already sweating profusely from the heat, and his throat was burning with thirst. He swallowed hard and said, "Brother Yu, I want you to ask Zhou Canjun—"

Huang Yu looked at Xia Da with indifference and irony, and even a hint of pleasure.He interrupted Xia Da's words, and said: "Biao uncle wants my father-in-law to bend the law for personal gain?"

"No, no, I didn't want him to bend the law for personal gain, just, I just wanted to ask him to help find out the truth and return justice."

Looking at their expressions, Huang Yu felt that the scorching summer was as cool as autumn, which made him happy and wanted to laugh out loud.He tried his best to restrain himself, but the curvature of the corners of his mouth still made Xia Dasan's three brothers feel extremely sore in their hearts. Their Xia family asked for others, which made them unable to hold their heads up in front of the Huang family for the rest of their lives.

"We, Huang and Xia, have never had much friendship. Why should I help you?" Huang Yu thought of the humiliation Xia Jiniang gave him during the Flower Festival.

He has always remembered this, and has been waiting for this moment. He does not believe that Zhang He can be better or more capable than him.Facts have proved that Zhang He is useless at this time, the Xia family still has to come to him and ask him for help!

"Brother Yu, why did you suddenly lose your face?" Xia Er asked unhappy.

"Flip? That's what Xia Jiniang said." Huang Yu snorted coldly, "You go back, the yamen handles the case by itself, I can't let my father-in-law bend the law for personal gain."

Xia Da didn't know when Xia Jiniang had an affair with Huang Yu, and he was still waiting to plead in a low voice, but Huang Yu sent them away.Xia Erdao: "Could it be that the aunt provoked him, and he held grudges and was unwilling to help the Xia family?"

"If there is no aunt, maybe Brother Yu will help out because of the relationship between the two families!" San Xia also said.

Xia Da's heart was in a mess, he didn't understand why Xia Jiniang had a feud with Huang Yu, and Huang Yu was a grudge, what should he do?He calmed down slowly, Huang Yu's side is temporarily unworkable, it seems that he still has to ask what happened to Xia Jiniang, so that he can untie the knot.

After making up his mind, Xia Da hurried to Qinghe Village.

"My father-in-law, why do you need to beg him?" Zhang He felt aggrieved and angry when he heard that.

Xia Dao: "I don't want to ask him, but our Xia family has no power, how can he stand in prison?"

"Father, don't worry." Although Xia Jiniang was also upset, she still had to let Xia Da calm down first.

Zhang He pondered for a moment, then said: "I'll go to Brother Qingshan to inquire about it."

The county magistrate was in charge of hearing Xia Luosi's case, so Shi Qing should be clear about the case, and he can take care of Xia Luosi in the yamen.Xia Jiniang also thought of this, she said to Xia Dao: "Father, let's find out first, we can only deal with it if we find out what's going on."

Xia Da originally wanted Xia Jiniang to make peace with Huang Yu, but after thinking about it, Xia Jiniang is now Zhang He's wife, so she must take care of her reputation no matter what.And he has been bullied by Huang Yu, he can't let Xia Jiniang be insulted by words again.He said, "Okay, then I'll go to the Yamen first..."

"Ji Niang, get ready, let's go there with my father-in-law! The longer the delay, the easier things will go wrong." Zhang He said.

Xia Jiniang nodded, turned and went back to the house, first put some jiaozi on her body for emergencies, prepared a bamboo hat, and some water and rations for the road.

When they and Xia Da rushed to Fuzhou City under the scorching sun, their thin and soft clothes were soaked in sweat, and they drank both pots of water.Zhang He just stopped menstruating yesterday, his body was still tired, his mouth was dry, and he was still a little dizzy. Seeing this, Xia Jiniang said to Xia Dao: "Father, let's rest for a while."

Xia Da knew that he couldn't come in a hurry, so he parked the donkey cart in a tea shop, he said: "Dong bed, Ji Niang, you rest here first, I will go find your second and third uncles."

Zhang He and Xia Jiniang drank two bowls of brewed tea, and felt that the heat in their bodies was slightly reduced, but even though there was a shaded tea shop, it was still very hot without a trace of breeze.Xia Jiniang asked a clerk for cold water to soak a towel and put it on Zhang He's forehead, and asked, "Is Erlang feeling better?"

Zhang He nodded, and said, "After quenching my thirst, I feel much better. Niang Ji, are you feeling unwell?"

"You gave me water on the way, how can I feel unwell?"

Zhang He wrung out the water from the handkerchief, wiped Xia Jiniang's sweat, and said, "It's almost time for Shen Shizheng, and the Yamen will be released, let's go!"

When they arrived at the county yamen, some officials had already come out of the yamen one after another, climbed on the horses or donkeys led by the little officials, and left the yamen.Zhang He hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "May I ask if Captain Shixian is still in the yamen?"

"Who is looking for the county lieutenant?" the little official asked.

"Zhang He of Qinghe Village is looking for Lieutenant Shixian."

Just as he was talking, Qiu San strode out from the inside. Seeing Zhang He, he was taken aback for a moment, and then said joyfully, "Mr. Zhang, and Mrs. Zhang, why are you here?" It was said that Zhang He came to look for him, but he was not in the yamen, and because of his busy schedule, he had no time to look for Zhang He. Now that Zhang He is here, it will save him another trip to Qinghe Village.

"Qiu Zuoguan, how are you doing recently?" Zhang He smiled slightly.

"Thanks to Mr. Zhang's family, it's been very good recently. Ji Xiashi heard that Mr. Zhang's family came to look for me, but I was busy with business and I didn't go to Qinghe Village to give you any news. I'm really ashamed to say it!"

"It's understandable that Qiu Zuoguan is busy with official duties, and I'm not in a hurry." Zhang Hedao, in order to avoid chatting with Qiu San for too long, she asked again, "Yes, Qiu Zuoguan, do you dare to ask if County Captain Shi is still in the yamen? ?”

"Unfortunately, there have been a lot of cases in the yamen recently. He took the subordinates out today and never came back."

Zhang He and Xia Jiniang felt a little regretful, Qiu San saw that they were frowning deeply and seemed to be in difficulty, so he asked: "Why are Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang so sad, but what happened?"

Zhang He thought that Qiu San was also working in the yamen, so he must know about Xia Luosi, so he asked.Sure enough, Qiu San knew it, and said in surprise: "Then Xia Luosi is Zhang's brother-in-law?!"

He glanced at Xia Jiniang, contacted the surnames of the two, and suddenly understood.He said: "Why didn't Mr. Zhang come here earlier? That Xia Luosi was taken away by the government office."

"This is a case of the county government. Why was he taken away by the state government?"

"Mr. Zhang's family didn't know something. The porter lost his breath last night. His relatives went to the state government office to sue, which involved human life. The county government office was too simple, so the judicial army sent people to take him away. This case It has also been handed over to the state government office for trial."

Zhang He took a deep breath, he didn't expect to have to face Zhou Canjun and even Huang Yu after going around.Xia Jiniang also felt a little remorse, maybe she shouldn't have reprimanded Huang Yu at the Huachao Festival and made him lose face.But then I thought about it, neither she nor Zhang He did anything wrong, so why should they regret it?

"Then this case..."

Qiu San knew what Zhang He wanted to ask, and he said: "There is something strange about this case. I heard from the doctor that even if it is Xiangjia skin, if it is not taken too much, it will not be in danger of life. And Xia Luosi Among the raw medicines caught, they were all three days' worth, and the yamen checked that Xia Erlang's raw medicine shop still had a lot of Xiangjiapi, but Wujiapi was much less, so he said that what he caught was Wujiapi, which is also true. believable."

"Since it is credible, why was it taken to the state government office for trial?"

"Although there are medicine records and account books to testify, it does not rule out that he forged it. And because the porter died, the government needs to find out the truth."

Hearing this, Zhang He believed that Xia Luosi was innocent. After all, he didn't need to tamper with the crude medicine book, let alone harm a porter he didn't know.She thought for a while and said, "Can we go to the prison to see him first?"

Qiu Sandao: "I'll take you there, but I don't know if the prison in the state capital is still willing to let people in at this time."

When we arrived at the prison in the state capital, it was already dusk, and the setting sun dyed the clouds red, and from nowhere came the cry of the weaving lady, which made people feel flustered.

Qiu San also had some friendship with the jailer, and was about to ask them to accommodate Zhang He and Xia Jiniang in, but a stern voice scolded: "This is a yamen or a prison, how dare you ignore the law and bend the law for personal gain in the yamen?"

Both Qiu San and the jailer trembled with fear, especially Qiu San, who was just expected to be promoted and officially became an official. If he was accused of favoritism, he would never be able to get rid of it.It's just that this is almost a customary rule of the state government and county government. Why did someone suddenly bring up these tricks to hold them accountable?

He turned his head to look again, and found that it was the new Judiciary who joined the army, and he knew it in his heart.

"Zhou Canjun, we never let them in." The jailer said hastily. Fortunately, Zhou Canjun came early. If he came later, they would have been caught.

Zhang He raised his eyes and took a look at Zhou Canjun. He was in his 40s and [-]s, with a beard on his face and a strong figure. He was wearing a dark blue round collar official uniform, which was quite official.

"Who are you?"

Qiu San hurriedly explained their purpose of coming, Zhou Canjun took a deep look at Zhang He, and said: "The prisoner is involved in a murder case, so don't visit him at will."

Zhang He's heart was blocked, and he said: "How can he be designated as a criminal before the truth has been found out? And why not visit with others?"

Zhou Canjun said: "How can you intervene in how the case is tried in the yamen's office?"

Xia Jiniang was worried that Zhang He would offend Zhou Canjun because of this, so she tugged on her sleeve and said, "Erlang, let's go back first and then think of a way?"

Qiu San also persuaded: "That's right, the trial of this case will take about twenty days, it can't be cleared in one day."

The yamen shall not exceed 25 days for major matters, 25 days for medium matters, and [-] days for minor matters.This case involves a human life, so it is considered a major matter and needs to be heard within [-] days.Besides the trial, it was also decided that if Xia Luosi refused to plead guilty, the yamen would not be able to wrong him because of this. At the same time, some people would review the case to avoid wrongful convictions.

Hearing this, Zhang He had no choice but to leave with Xia Jiniang first.
