Last time, it was said that Daiyu asked Xia Hua to notify all the officials of Chang'an Town to come to the town to hear the case, and then she went to the court to order that anyone who was wronged should only come to file a complaint. Drumming for grievances.

Daiyu calmly ordered: "Bring the drums and ring the grievances to the court." The voice was sonorous and powerful.

After saying that, Cheng Huan brought a mother and daughter up, and the mother and daughter knelt down and said, "Little lady Liu Yunshi and her daughter Liu Jinyao have seen the Countess."

Daiyu nodded: "You mother and daughter get up and talk."

Then Liu Yunshi kowtowed to thank again, and then with Liu Jinyao's support, he stood up slowly and stood aside.

Daiyu waited for them to stand firm, and then said: "If you have any grievances, just tell me."

Liu Yunshi hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Counselor, the husband of the little lady was originally on guard in Chang'an, but he was falsely accused and sent to prison because he offended the county magistrate's brother-in-law. Jue decides for us."

After hearing this, Daiyu only glanced at the magistrate at the side, and said calmly, "Which one is the magistrate of Chang'an Town?"

"Yes, it's a villain." The county magistrate wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Daiyu glanced at him: "You are the magistrate of the county, which is really rare. My lord came in the morning, and your yamen servant is really serious and responsible. I only said that you were ordered by the magistrate of the county, and I can only come to complain in the afternoon. Is your magistrate not doing official business? Or is your magistrate so busy in the morning that he has no time?"

The magistrate of the county hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Returning to the duchess, I really had a lot of entertainment yesterday, so I have a headache today, so I want to take a rest in the morning. This villain, the minister is still very conscientious, so this Chang'an town will Very safe."

"Are you entertaining? But as far as I know, it's not the case, but I heard that your county magistrate is drinking flower wine. Also, is Chang'an Town really safe? Then what happened to Zhang Jin, okay? Why did a girl hang herself, and what happened to Mr. Liu, how could such a living person jump into the river, eh!" Daiyu directly entered the topic, which shocked the county magistrate for a while Cai said: "These are all rumors and troubles, and I ask the Duchess to learn from them."

Daiyu sneered and said, "Spreading rumors to cause trouble?" Then she looked straight at the county magistrate, "It's my fault for coming at this time. Cheng Huan, come and talk to this county magistrate about what's going on. If you don't Having said that, I have wronged him as my lord."

Cheng Huan nodded: "Yes." Then he walked to the county magistrate: "County magistrate, the slave is Cheng Huan, a second-rank female officer next to the duchess."

"I've met the female officer." The county magistrate could only salute, who told him that he was only a seventh-rank magistrate, so he couldn't compare to this orange.

Cheng Huan nodded: "Cheng Huan will talk about it from the beginning to the end, please also ask the magistrate to think it over.

Brother Zhang Jin is the daughter of the local Zhang Yuanwai. She has been famous far and near since she was a child, just because this girl is not only kind, but also has a good face. Although many people want to marry her, Zhang Jin has made an appointment with the local guard Liu Jiagong since she was a child. After entering into the Yuanmeng League, we have made an appointment, and we will marry after the girl reaches Ji.On August [-]th last year, Brother Zhang Jin went to the county temple with his mother to offer incense, but unexpectedly met your brother-in-law Li Yanei, but? "

The county magistrate wanted to say something, but Cheng Huan stopped him: "Listen to me, your brother-in-law Li Yanei was originally a dude, and he ruined so many innocent daughters in Chang'an Town, just because you are the county magistrate." The grandpa's brother-in-law backed him up, and he wasn't afraid at all, so this happened. This Li Yanei took a fancy to Zhang's daughter, so he naturally wanted to propose a marriage, but that member Zhang was also an eye for money. Man, seeing that you have paid a lot of betrothal gifts, I naturally want to get married with you, but this must be believed, after all, Brother Jin already has a family, so I naturally hope that the garrison mansion can get rid of this relative.

But Liu Shoubei is an upright person, so how can he bear this tone for no reason, naturally he will not allow it.So you asked people to go to Jinling to find the Rongguo Mansion, the natal family of the noble concubine, to do this, and forced the guard to resign with 5000 taels of silver. Of course, this matter will come to an end for the time being. It’s all right with your brother-in-law, but none of you could have imagined how fierce this brother Jin is. She actually hanged herself in her attic the day before you were going to marry, just like her own message. The Liu family, if you want to be the soul of the Liu family, you will never enter your Li family.

And the result of this made Liu Shoubei's son, Mr. Liu, also very sad. Although the two had never met, but such a virtuous wife could not have, this Mr. Liu was naturally heartbroken, so maybe it was stimulated, maybe it was still There must be other reasons, anyway, he went to the river outside, jumped into the river and committed suicide.

In this way, Liu Shoubei is naturally not reconciled, so you want to trouble your brother-in-law. In order to keep your brother-in-law, you actually asked someone to go to Jinling again, bribed the Rongguo Mansion and King Zhongshun, and only handed over fake evidence. I want the emperor to kill Liu Shoubei, but although the emperor doesn't know the whole story, he also knows that human life is at stake, so he suppressed it for the time being, and only said that Liu Shoubei will temporarily resign from his official position and reflect on himself in the county jail. Now, but you, the magistrate of the county, really knows how to avenge your personal revenge. You actually tortured Liu Shoubei in the county jail, trying to make him torture him, but Liu Shoubei just refused to let go, so the one you tortured is endless. Skin, I don’t know if what I said is right or wrong? "Cheng Huan looked at the magistrate with a smile, with a slight sarcasm in his eyes.

Having said this, Cheng Huan turned to Daiyu and said, "Counselor, I've finished talking about the servant girl."

Daiyu nodded, waved Cheng Huan to retreat, then looked at the magistrate and said, "Master, do you know that what I, a female officer, is saying is true?"

It's hard for the magistrate of the county to tell the truth, and it's hard to tell the lie. If it's true, I can't guarantee my black hat, I'm afraid my life will be in danger. If I tell the lie, since Daiyu can openly say this at this moment, there must be something wrong. There is evidence, and in fact this matter is true, he can't say it's false. In this way, only his forehead is sweating, and he doesn't know how to deal with it.

Daiyu glanced coldly at the magistrate, and said again: "Master County, you should tell me about this matter, can the orange lady next to me tell the truth?" The air dissipated instantly.

The magistrate only trembled at the side, not daring to say more, and after a while he murmured: "This, evidence." Now I only hope that she has no evidence.

"Evidence?" Daiyu sneered, "Do you think my lord can forge evidence just like you? Since I dare to say so, there is certainly evidence. But before that, I really want to meet that Liu Shoubei. At the beginning, the emperor's intention was clearly to let him reflect on himself, but I want to see how he is now in self-reflection." Then he said aside: "Come here, bring Liu Shoubei up."

As soon as the words fell, two arresters quickly lifted up a shelf, and on the shelf was a bloody man. If it wasn't for his panting and breathing sounds, everyone would have thought he was about to die.

Seeing this, Daiyu said: "Qingchen, go and have a look." She couldn't bear it either, it seems that this government office really needs to be rectified for such cruelty.

Qingchen went over, looked at the injury, and felt his pulse again, then took out a elixir for him to eat, turned back and said to Daiyu: "Counselor, Liu Shoubei was injured both inside and outside, if it wasn't for Liu Shoubei With a solid foundation, I'm afraid he's already dead by now."

After hearing this, Daiyu quickly asked, "Is there a way to treat it?" Human life is at stake.

Qing Chen nodded: "Fortunately, the servant is here now, so the servant can be treated, but Liu Shou suffers from such an injury, and he will not be able to bear the fatigue after he recovers in the future."

Daiyu nodded: "So, you save people first, and I have a reason for what will happen in the future." Liu Yunshi and Liu Jinyao on the side had already come over, with tears in their eyes.

Seeing this, Daiyu asked them to send them to a side hall to rest, and then asked Qingchen to go to treat Liu Shoubei, so Daiyu came back to look at the magistrate: "Master county, this is the way to introspect in your prison. Liu Shoubei?" At this point, Daiyu slapped the gavel and said, "You are so brave, you dare to torture yourself without the emperor's decree."

The magistrate hurriedly knelt down and said, "Minister, villain, the offender knows his mistake."

Daiyu smiled coldly and said, "If you know your mistakes, don't you just know your mistakes and let it go? I won't say much now. I will settle the score with you after Liu Shoubei's health recovers. But since your prison is so introspective , then today, this lord also asks you to introspect yourself like this, come here, and put the magistrate into prison, don’t forget to do self-examination every day. Temporarily imprisoned, everything will be decided after Liu Shoubei recovers."

Someone on the side had already gone to arrest Li Yanei, but Daiyu glanced at the officials on both sides and said: "What a Chang'an town, when such a thing happened, as officials directly under you, you don't understand the emperor's mind at the top, and don't understand the people at the bottom. Because of suffering, if it wasn't for the coincidence that the Lord passed by, this unjust case would have happened like this."

"I don't dare to wait." All the officials at the side knelt down hurriedly.

Daiyu snorted again: "Don't dare, dare not, this matter is already like this, if you dare, are you going to ignore the public opinion?"

Having said this, Daiyu stood up, then stepped down the hall steps, and then looked at the crowd: "In terms of age, you are all good courtiers with qualifications, and it seems inappropriate for me to say such a thing today. , but you also think about it, you are eating the salary of the imperial court, and it is your duty to share the worries of the emperor, but now, you all close your ears and don't listen to these public opinions, don't you feel ashamed Well, I naturally know that you want to be wise and protect yourselves. After all, the officialdom is ups and downs, not to mention the so-called saying that being with the king is like accompanying a tiger, but to be honest, if I really want to say it, these are all nonsense. I never thought about this truth, this eunuch did not appear because of your appearance, this eunuch existed in the first place, but unfortunately, after entering this official career for a long time, you have all forgotten the reason why you were an official in the first place, and you always I like to use flattery to flatter you and you can keep everything. It's a pity, it's a pity that this country does not belong to those people you are flattering, nor does it belong to the emperor alone, but belongs to the people. Only when the people exist, the country is meaningful. Also uneasy.

My lord wants to ask you, how can you be an official? Today, my lord asked you to come here to ask this truth. My lord does not believe that you have lived here for such a long time, and you still don’t know. what's going on. "

The state official directly in charge of Chang'an Town came out and said, "It's because the subordinates are not strict in disciplining their subordinates, so I ask the Countess to punish them."

Daiyu glanced at him: "You are indeed lax. Although this Liu Shoubei has been dismissed temporarily, he still belongs to the imperial court. As a state official, you not only do not strictly protect and care, but also allow your subordinates to do anything wrong. You are naturally responsible for things."

The state official didn't dare to say anything, but bowed his head and said: "Your servant is guilty, please come down to the lady."

Daiyu was about to say something when Xia Hua came in and said, "Girl, Wei Ruolan, governor of the seven provinces, is here."

Daiyu nodded, "Please let him in."

Xia Hua nodded, then went out, and soon saw an official approaching, it was Wei Ruolan, Wei Ruolan paid respects to Daiyu: "Students have met your benefactor."

Daiyu gave her a little help: "You are the governor today, so you don't need to be polite. It's good if you come this time, so you can come and investigate the case of Liu Shoubei."

Wei Ruolan laughed: "The student received the emperor's imperial edict and came here. The emperor said that this matter should be left to the teacher, and the student will assist."

Daiyu laughed lightly after hearing this: "It's really a fox, I'm the only one who offends people." Then she glanced at all the ministers and said, "Okay, you guys go back today, and come back to try this case in seven days. Thinking about the seven-day recuperation, Liu Shoubei can also speak. I hope you understand the seriousness of the matter. Another point, if you go back, you can go to the officials above you in Jinling. I really want to see and see. Who would have the audacity to prevent my lord from hearing the case."

As soon as Daiyu said this, the people who originally intended to report to the news all gave up their idea. They didn't want Daiyu to get caught, so they naturally stopped talking.

Besides, Daiyu's words are actually a warning, after all, who is behind these people, in fact, she also has a bottom line in her heart.

After dismissing these officials, Daiyu brought Wei Ruolan to the side hall, Qingchen seemed to have just bandaged Liu Shoubei, Daiyu passed by, Liu Yunshi and Liu Jinyao hurriedly saluted, Daiyu gave a little help, and then said goodbye Qingchen said: "Qingchen, how about it, Liu Shoubei is okay."

Qing Chen sighed: "It's really a tiger and wolf, it's really not easy for Liu Shoubei to be so strong."

Daiyu nodded: "I plan to retry the case in seven days. Can this Liu Shoubei go to court then?"

Qing Chen nodded: "It's okay to go to class, but you still shouldn't be too tired."

Daiyu nodded and said, "I'll ask someone to set up a seat, so that Liu Shoubei can persevere."

"Counselor, you want to avenge my father and brother." Liu Jinyao knelt down in front of Daiyu.

Daiyu smiled and said: "Sister Liu, don't worry, since I have accepted the pleadings today, I will definitely give your Liu family justice."

"Fairness is in people's hearts." Suddenly someone shouted out.

Daiyu was stunned, and Xia Hua held a sword in his hand: "Who is it, come out?"

Seeing a man staggering in, Daiyu smiled slightly when she saw it: "So it's you." Could it be the drunk man seen in the inn.

Wei Ruolan was slightly taken aback when she saw it: "Brother, why is it you?"

"Brother?" Now even Daiyu was curious: "Ruolan knows this person?"

Wei Ruolan hurriedly said respectfully: "If you go back to your benefactor, this person is my brother, Wei Ruomei, who just ran away from home five years ago for unknown reasons."

Daiyu smiled slightly and said, "You don't need to tell me the reason, I'm not curious, but I didn't expect it to be the eldest son of the Wei family." Then she laughed again: "Wei Ruomei, the eldest son of the Wei family, is known in the world as drunk. Xia, the world is not fair, this drunk man fights against injustice wherever he goes, I heard that he still has some friendship with the current martial arts leader, but he was originally going to participate in the martial arts, but he didn't attend for some reason, now I count Understood, it must be that Young Master Wei didn't show up because he saw that his younger brother was Tanhua."

Wei Ruomei glanced at Daiyu, and then laughed: "The countess is indeed a countess, and she knows my background clearly, but I don't understand, I have never had anything to do with the countess, why did the countess To understand so clearly."

Daiyu shook her head slightly: "It's not that I understand clearly, but someone once gave me a booklet with your name on it. There are nine people in total. It's strange to say that they are going to take the imperial examination, but I found out None of them showed up."

Wei Ruomei nodded after listening to Daiyu's words: "So that's the case, but I'm still muttering, how come the Duchess still knows the cheap name, so that's the case!"

Daiyu smiled slightly: "Now that you're here, are you here to avenge Liu Shoubei's grievances or to meet you as a kinsman?"

Wei Ruomei shook her head slightly: "Neither, I came because of my curiosity about the Countess."

Daiyu couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "You're curious about me, what should you be curious about about me?"

Wei Ruomei looked at Daiyu, but there was no trace of drunkenness in her eyes: "I just want to know what kind of person you are, to be able to see so clearly at such an age."

Daiyu laughed: "I am who I am, so there's nothing to say about that."

Wei Ruomei looked at Daiyu sternly: "I don't understand, why did you have to cut it off after seven days when you could cut it off in the lobby today?"

Daiyu glanced at Wei Ruomei, then said boredly, "Because it's fun."

"Fun?" Wei Ruomei had never given such a willful answer.

Daiyu nodded: "It's fun. I don't have anything to do when I come out recently. Anyway, I just do it while playing. I just heard yesterday that someone is coming to assassinate me. I have to give them a chance." , At first I thought about three days, but after thinking about it, no, three days is too short, what if people can’t prepare for it, that’s why I extended it by seven days.”

Xia Hua on the side shook her head helplessly, she knew when this Daiyu was still handling the case in such a serious manner, presumably there was a reason, the feeling was to deal with the few thieves in the Rongguo Mansion, that's why she did it like this ordered.

Wei Ruomei was stunned for a moment, then looked at Daiyu: "Someone is coming to assassinate you, but you didn't hide and waited for him." His eyes were confused, why couldn't he see what Daiyu was thinking, how could anyone be like this Waiting with peace of mind.

Daiyu laughed: "What's so bad about it? If they can't find it, it will make them lose their chance to make a fortune." Wei Ruomei and the others don't understand Daiyu. Although this Daiyu is a girl, But he has Lin Ruhai's madness, so that kind of rebelliousness is naturally hidden in his bones, and it only appears occasionally.

Xia Hua said aside: "Girl, don't be scary anymore, those few thieves have no chance to get close to you."

Daiyu waved her hand and said: "How can this be done? I want to give someone some gifts anyway. Remember, don't kill them when you come here. At least you have to attend the lobby seven days later. Don't scare those people. In the future How can I have fun."

Daiyu said it lightly, but it has already explained a lot. The trick of killing chickens and scaring monkeys has existed since ancient times, and Daiyu is only using it at this moment. She wants to see those people, knowing that the murderer has fallen into her hands. How did you react.

In fact, Daiyu also has Daiyu's thoughts, then Rongguo Mansion and Jia Yuanchun should give them a little warning, don't think that everything will let them go, although this time is not the time to remove them, but this warning is good. , It is precisely because of this that Daiyu decided to stay in Chang'an Town for seven days.

At night, it is always a place where night walkers appear. Sure enough, three or five people sneaked into the Chang'an county government office. Someone asked, "Are you sure they are here?"

"That's right, it's not wrong, this person will stay here for seven days, today is only the second day, he will definitely be here." Another said.

"Then everyone be careful, as long as this person is killed, the money from now on will be inexhaustible." The man said.

"Boss, didn't you say that you just need to destroy the Countess? It's not good to kill people." Someone seemed to shrink back.

"Idiot, do you think that there is no one around a countess, so it is so easy for us to destroy it, it is better to kill it." The so-called boss said.

"Hey, have you finished talking? Come in when you're done, we're tired of waiting like this." A voice cut in.

"I know, I know, don't bother me, I just came in, uh." At this moment, they realized that the voice didn't seem to be their companion, so they looked at the same time, and saw a silver-haired man sitting on a stone bench beside him, could it be Yun Ao? .

Yun Ao looked at those people and said: "Okay, come in, our master has been waiting for you for a long time, really, I have been dawdling until now, so I can't take a good rest." Yun Ao said while complaining .

As soon as those little thieves heard Yun Ao's words, they knew that their whereabouts had been exposed, so they planned to run back without saying a word, but when they turned around, they saw a girl in red and a girl in green standing at the door: " Lu Mi, tell me how to get rid of these people."

"Sister Hongyan, the girl said it was useful, why did you just dismiss it like this." Lu Mi said leisurely from the side.
