Reform from Jia She

"I don't know how much brother Pei knows about this newly appointed magistrate?" Lin Ruhai was silent for a moment, but decided to ask, even if he knew a little bit, it would be good.

Pei Xinlu heard this, thought about it, and suddenly laughed.

"Speaking of which, the newly appointed magistrate is still from the same town as Brother Ru Hai."

fellow countryman?

Although Lin Ruhai lives in the capital now, but in terms of origin, he is from Gusu.

If you are from the capital, you can't be regarded as a fellow villager with him.

"Brother Pei means, this new magistrate is from Gusu?"

Pei Xinlu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Ruhai is right. The new magistrate is indeed from Gusu. His surname is Zhen. He is from the Changmen family of Gusu. He has been in office for less than half a month. It is not yet known how good Master Zhen is. But his family background is clean, it is on the bright side."

"The family background is clean? He has only been in office for less than half a month, how do you know that his family background is clean?" Liu Jinglin asked.

Pei Xinlu then explained, "Jinglin doesn't know, this Master Zhen has passed the age of his birth, and he has no children and no daughters under his knees. There is no Ji concubine in the house, only a first wife, surnamed Feng, although this Master Zhen has just arrived in office not long ago , but the relationship between husband and wife is very good." After a while, "I heard that when Lord Zhen first took office, the subordinates of the Yamen hosted a banquet to welcome the wind, and within two days, a local rich family gave Lord Zhen a singer. Those who didn’t move were sent back, which shows how much Master Zhen loves his wife.”

Standing at the end of the year, there is only one concubine, no children, no daughters, and no concubines. It is indeed affectionate and righteous.

"Although I don't know the character of this Mr. Zhen, but he loves his wife who has nothing to do, so he is a kind and righteous person." Maybe you can take a gamble and meet this Mr. Zhifu.

How many men in the world can be so affectionate and righteous to their wives?

It is really rare for someone who has no children under his knees and insists on not taking concubines after the age is over.

That night, Pei Xinlu hosted a banquet in the mansion to entertain all the travel-worn people.

On the second day, Lin Ruhai and Jia Zheng went to the government office to visit the magistrate surnamed Zhen.

The newly appointed magistrate seemed to have known that they would come, and they were invited in not long after they asked for an audience.

Mr. Zhen looks to be in his 20s, and he can't tell that he has passed the age of thirties at all, with a gentle and elegant temperament.

In short, Lin Ruhai had a very good impression of this Master Zhen when he met for the first time.

"I take the liberty of coming here to disturb Mr. Zhen. I am here to ask Mr. Zhen for a friend who has been wronged. I hope Mr. Zhen can restore his innocence." Lin Ruhai also knew that this statement was too pale, and there was no evidence to prove it. It's really unrealistic.

Master Zhen was not angry, and asked the servant girl to serve tea, and invited Lin Ruhai and Jia Zheng to sit down.

"I heard the servants in the yamen talk about the two young masters. I wonder which one is the son of Duke Rong?" Master Zhen said with a smile.

Jia Zheng then stood up and bowed, "I'm Jia Zheng, Jia Cunzhou, I have met you, my father is Rong Guogong."

"Then this young man..."

Lin Ruhai also stood up and saluted, "I'm going down to Lin Ruhai, I've met you."

"Lin Ruhai?" Mr. Zhen obviously had an impression of this name, lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and said, "But the grandson of Marquis Wenyuan, Lin Ruhai?"

"It's down."

"It's a pleasure to meet Mr. Lin. I heard Mr. Lin's name earlier, but I didn't expect to be lucky enough to meet him." Lord Zhen paused, "Mr. Lin just said that he came to see me for a friend who has been wronged. I don't know what's going on?"

Lin Ruhai then told Mr. Zhen the ins and outs of him saving Yue Shijie one by one, "I'm ashamed to say that I only listened to what one family said, but I'm confident that my eyesight is not bad. This Mr. Yue is really a real gentleman. If you don't believe me , you can also send people to Yuhang to investigate, but my suggestion is to send people to investigate secretly, so as not to startle the snake."

Master Zhen pondered for a moment, then smiled slightly, "Since I am a local parental officer, of course I will not sit idly by unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, but as Mr. Lin said, you have only listened to what the family said, and I will retry this case, but you If this friend wants to clear up his grievances, if there is no real evidence, it may be difficult."

This Liu Jinglin also said that Lin Ruhai understood Master Zhen's meaning, and said, "I will go to Yuhang with other friends to find evidence. Before that..." Asking Master Zhen to take care of a murder suspect, Lin Ruhai was a little speechless.

However, Mr. Zhen is an excellent person. Seeing that he was thin-skinned and unable to speak out, he smiled and said, "I will not sentence the prisoner until he pleads guilty. Don't worry, Mr. Lin."

The magistrate of Yuhang County said that a murderer had escaped from Yuhang. He thought he had been rescued from prison. He was afraid that this vicious murderer would flee to Hangzhou to kill people. Master Zhen ordered a strict investigation, but he didn't want to. There is still a grievance.

Although there is no evidence to prove that Yue Shijie was wronged, whether it is Lin Ruhai or Jia Zheng, they are all people with clear features. Both Lin Ruhai and Jia Zheng were very smart. They went to Yuhang to investigate, and if there were any problems, they would definitely find out.

"Thank you, Master Zhen."

Lin Ruhai didn't know why Mr. Zhen wanted to help them, but since Mr. Zhen was willing to give him a chance, he would naturally have to reciprocate. With the evidence proving that Yue Shijie was wronged, he couldn't let Mr. Zhen help them bear the pressure for nothing.

Covering up murderers is not a good reputation.

I hope they can find evidence to prove Yue Shijie's innocence before Yuhang finds out.

Leaving the yamen, Lin Ruhai and Jia Zheng returned directly to Pei's residence.

It happened to meet Liu Jinglin and Jing Jianfeng who had come back.

Early this morning, Lin Ruhai and Jia Zheng went to the Yamen, while Liu Jinglin and Jing Jianfeng went to Uncle Yue Shijie's house to inform Yue Shijie that he had been wronged.

Although they felt that Yue Shijie's uncle couldn't help, he was his uncle anyway, and they couldn't keep such an important matter from Yue Shijie's relatives.

Lin Ruhai and the others did not stay in Hangzhou for a long time. After meeting in Pei's residence, they set off for Yuhang in the afternoon.

Yuhang was not far from Hangzhou Mansion, so he hurried on and arrived at Yuhang County at noon the next day.

Yuhang deserves to be one of the most prosperous places in Hangzhou. As soon as I entered the city, I saw the turmoil of life and it was very lively.

It's hilarious...somewhat abnormal.

Lin Ruhai exchanged glances with Jia Zheng and others who were traveling with him, and Liu Jinglin stepped forward to stop a passerby.

"Brother, why is it so lively today?"

"Are you foreigners passing by?" The elder brother who was stopped was not gorgeous, but he was still neat. He took a look at Liu Jinglin and his group, and knew that they had extraordinary backgrounds.

Although the clothes can't be said to be brocade clothes and jade belts, the material of the body can only be worn by rich or expensive people.

"Brother Huiyan, we just came from Hangzhou Mansion." Liu Jinglin smiled and praised.

The eldest brother was so flattered that he relaxed, "So you came from Hangzhou, but you don't look like locals from Hangzhou, do you come from somewhere else?" When he said this, it seemed He didn't expect to get an answer, and continued, "The excitement today is actually related to a famous son in our county."

With this tone, it seems that he doesn't think highly of that young master.

Lin Ruhai and Liu Jinglin looked at each other, then stepped forward and said, "Brother?"

Gongzigeer is not a good adjective, not to mention such a contemptuous tone, which is ridiculed at first glance.

The eldest brother looked around and found no one there, so he lowered his voice and said, "In our Yuhang County, there is Mr. Su who is tyrannical and oppresses good people. It is well known. A big event happened in our county a few days ago, and everyone said that Mr. Yue She killed someone and escaped, but in fact, we all know that the girl... was not killed by Mr. Yue."

The eldest brother spoke in such a low voice, obviously he was afraid of being overheard.

It can be seen how deterrent that Mr. Su is in Yuhang.

Lin Ruhai really didn't expect that there would be news as soon as he entered the county.

"Young Master Yue...who is it?"

Speaking of which, Lin Ruhai's understanding of Yue Shijie is also very limited, he only knows that he was framed by Mr. Su, has a good character, and has a famous uncle. As for the others, I really don't know.

Seeing that Lin Ruhai was interested, the eldest brother also became interested, and led them to the corner of the road, and said in a low voice, "Master, I don't know. He was selected as a scholar, and his character is precious. Last year, he discussed marriage with a girl from the big family in our county, Pan's family. Unfortunately, Mr. Yue's father died suddenly, and the marriage discussion came to an abrupt end. It's just that The girl from the Pan family and Mr. Yue, it is Lang's concubine who wants to marry her, and the girl from the Pan family wants to wait for Mr. Yue to marry her when he is out of filial piety."

Lin Ruhai and others really didn't expect that the girl from the Pan family who was murdered would have such a past with Yue Shijie.

"Not long ago, the Su family went to the Pan family to propose a marriage, and wanted to take a girl from the Pan family as a concubine. The Pan family is a local scholarly family. How could they agree to their daughter as a concubine? Naturally, they refused. The Su family refused to give up and exerted strong pressure. , the Pan family was so disturbed, the girl from the Pan family didn't want to hurt her parents and relatives, so she invited her to leave the family, moved from the Pan family to the temple in Jingshan, and wanted to become a nun. Unexpectedly, within two days, the girl from the Pan family She died in the temple of Jingshan, and it is rumored that Mr. Yue killed her."

Lin Ruhai was silent when he heard the words, the lovers were separated just like that.

No wonder Yue Shijie always had a look of sadness and suppressed resentment in his eyes.

If he goes through this kind of thing, it will be difficult for him to keep calm and not feel resentment towards that Mr. Su.

"I heard people say that Mr. Yue escaped, but in fact, many people in Yuhang do not believe that Mr. Yue did it. The only one who can do such a thing is that tyrannical Mr. Su. Mr. Yue is afraid that he got the news in advance and escaped. , or else... Hey, the magistrate of Yuhang County is in collusion with Mr. Su, if Mr. Yue is caught in Yuhang, there will be no way out, and there may be a chance to clear up his grievances if he escapes."

Lin Ruhai sighed sadly, "It's a pity, Mr. Yue..."

"Yes, it's a pity." The eldest brother also sighed, "Master Su's family has a noble daughter who married a prince in the court and was very favored. Banquet, three days. The Su family is so powerful, Mr. Yue is afraid that it will be difficult to get ahead."
