Everyone in the Zhou family panicked when Zhou Qing was taken away by the officials. As soon as Zhou Qing and the others left, Aunt Zhou, who had been stopped and frightened, reacted and immediately slapped the daughter-in-law who opened the door. , looked at her tremblingly and said, "Who told you to open the door just now?"

Zhou Qing's daughter-in-law was slapped in the face by her mother-in-law, but she didn't dare to resist her, so she could only cover her face silently, bowed her head and stopped talking, and crying gradually came from under the shadow covered by her hair. Voice.

Aunt Zhou's questioning and Zhou Qing's daughter-in-law's crying broke the tranquility of the entire yard, and the night that was originally silent due to the arrival of the official mission gradually returned to motion.

Aunt Zhou felt angry when she saw the woman crying, and felt that if she hadn't opened the door for those vicious officials, her son would not have been taken away by them.With resentment in her heart, she started to attack Zhou Qing's daughter-in-law again, and the strength in her hands became heavier every time.

"It's you, the mourning star. If it wasn't for you, the mourning star, how could my son be taken away?"

"No, it's not me, I really didn't mean to."

The mix of harsh cursing and hoarse crying made Butler Zhou, who had been thinking about things, gradually frowned, and finally reprimanded loudly as if he couldn't bear it at last: "Shut up!"

Hearing this roar, Aunt Zhou stopped what she was doing, looked at the man standing next to her, as if she had suddenly reacted, she immediately rushed up, grabbed his sleeve, and cried at him road:

"Brother, Zhou Qing has been arrested by the officials now, you must find a way to rescue him! No matter how unbelievable Zhou Qing is, he is the only child of the old Zhou family now. He can't be troubled!"

Listening to the harsh shouts from the side, Butler Zhou furrowed his frown even more, and finally his whole face became a bit ferocious. When his patience finally ran out, he swung his arm vigorously and hung it on it. Aunt Zhou shook her hand, looked at her and shouted:

"I'm going to the yamen now to find out what happened. Please stay at home for me and don't make trouble!"

Aunt Zhou was taken aback by his operation, and she let go of the aggressiveness just now, and looked at Steward Zhou's expression with a little embarrassment, and said cautiously: "I see."

Steward Zhou hurried out after finishing speaking, and he didn't even give the beaten woman a look from the beginning to the end.

Yamen.

Zhou Qing looked at the people standing above the yamen, his face gradually revealed a look of apprehension, and countless thoughts gradually arose in his heart, and then he denied them one by one.

Impossible, impossible, Zhou Qing felt that what he and his uncle did this time was properly arranged, and it was impossible for others to expose it.

Just as Zhou Qing was thinking wildly below, the county magistrate sitting in the hall slapped the gavel and made a 'bang' sound, then looked at the frightened man in the hall, and asked in a cold tone: "Don't you think so?" Who's next?"

When Zhou Qing saw the county magistrate looking at him, he didn't dare to make any other guesses, so he could only tremble and say, "I, my name is Zhou Qing."

"Zhou Qing." The majestic voice of the magistrate resounded in the not-so-spacious hall, "Do you know why I called you here?"

Zhou Qing shook his head in panic.

The magistrate snorted coldly, pointed at Chen Xing and the others standing beside him, and his tone became a little more serious, "Do you know who they are?"

Zhou Qing looked at Chen Xing, who was glaring at him, and Gu Lang, who was staring at him with a flat expression beside him. He didn't know what he thought of, and immediately shook his head like a rattle. "No, I don't know."

"Do you know what will happen if you lie in front of the court officials?"

Chen Xing looked at Zhou Qing who started to tremble after the magistrate said this, thinking about his framing him, and regardless of the fact that it was not his turn to speak, he directly pointed at him and said angrily: "He lied!" , He obviously had a fight in our shop last time when he came, but this time he wants to say that he doesn't know us."

"You, you fart!" Listening to Chen Xing's words, Zhou Qing became more and more flustered, his eyes were flickering and he didn't dare to look at him, but he still retorted plausibly in his mouth.

"Whether I lied or not, you just need to ask the other people who were there that day." Chen Xing looked at the man who came here and tried to quibble, and accused him unceremoniously: "Now I'm going to invite those people, how dare you come?" Afraid to confront me?"

"I'm not, I'm not, don't accuse me." Since coming to this class, Zhou Qing has never been in a good mood. Hearing Chen Xing's words now, he couldn't choose what to say, "You little brother Don't be ashamed, don't always think about planting those things on me, I don't admit those things!"

Chen Xing saw that he was stubborn, and the anger that had been suppressed in his heart suddenly ignited again. Seeing Zhou Qing, he wanted to say something more, and wanted to ask him why he framed them, but then he felt the people next to him pulling Pulling his arm, he turned his head and looked over, only to see Gu Lang next to him glanced at him, and then motioned him to look at the magistrate in the hall.

Chen Xing followed Gu Lang's line of sight, and saw that the magistrate was frowning and looking at him, with an expression of wanting to have a seizure, but not easy to do so.He suddenly felt that he had overstepped, and silently shrank behind Gu Lang, trying to reduce his sense of existence.

The magistrate originally thought that Chen Xing was talking too much, even a little overstepping, but this time, looking at his actions and Gu Lang next to him, thinking of his guess about Gu Lang's identity, he temporarily suppressed his feelings for Chen Xing. Feeling dissatisfied, he turned his emotions towards the trembling kneeling man below, and asked in a deep voice:

"Okay, since you said you don't know this brother, then I won't make it difficult for you. There are still a few people who want to meet you, you have to show me carefully, take a good look, these few people Do you even know the person!"

Zhou Qing was taken aback, his heart beat twice as fast, but he still had to force himself to nod slowly, and replied awkwardly, "Okay, okay."

The county magistrate gave him a cold look, then raised his chin towards the officials next to him, and a woman was brought in behind him.

The woman was messed up and looked dazed, she looked as if she had rolled in the mud, she seemed to have sensed something, her eyes suddenly looked at Zhou Qing who was kneeling on the ground, and then she seemed to be crazy, He suddenly knocked off the officer next to him, and rushed in Zhou Qing's direction.

Zhou Qing was startled by the woman's movement, and subconsciously wanted to hide to the side, but he didn't know whether his speed was too slow, or the crazy woman was too difficult to break free. Not only did he not lose the woman's pounce, He was even scratched on the cheek by the woman's attempt to grab him.

The woman grabbed Zhou Qing, completely ignoring the bloodstains on his face, turned to look at the magistrate above the high hall, and said excitedly: "My lord, it's him, that's him. He's the one who ordered me to do those things. The woman was just confused for a while, so she did the act of poisoning and spreading blame, and I hope that the Lord will be merciful, and let the woman live for the sake of identifying the culprit!"

Zhou Qing was still afraid of this crazy woman who came out of nowhere, but now after hearing her words, he turned his head to look at her, vaguely recognized who she was, and pushed her away suddenly, his eyes Turning around abruptly, he hurriedly said:

"She is talking nonsense. I admit that I have molested her, so it is understandable for her to hold a grudge against me, but I really did not do what she said. My lord, you can't listen to the words of this poisonous woman's family! I am Really didn't do those things!"

Hearing Zhou Qing's answer, the woman became anxious immediately. During the period of waiting for Zhou Qing's arrival, the woman had been locked in the cell all the time. She was already worried and scared. She panicked, she absolutely did not want to fall into the same fate as those women.

The woman threw herself on Zhou Qing, scratched and bit the man indiscriminately, and said hoarsely: "It's obviously you, it's obviously you who asked me to do it, why don't you admit it! Why don't you admit it!!"

The woman's voice kept ringing in the hall, and everyone around heard goosebumps.

Zhou Qing didn't expect this woman to be so crazy, he fell into a big somersault without noticing, and his face was bloodstained by the woman because of the momentary delay.When he reacted and wanted to fight back, the woman happened to be pulled away by the guards guarding next to her, and the fist he swung was thrown away in vain.

"Widow Xu, how can the yamen allow you to be presumptuous!"

When Zhou Qing looked up at the woman with bloodstains on his face, he happened to hear the stern accusation from the officials next to her. This made Zhou Qing, who was a little suspicious just now, whether these officials were deliberately waiting for him to fight back, to pull her away. , the doubts in my heart were dispelled at once.

"Zhou Qing, you still don't agree with what she said?" The county magistrate sat on the high hall and looked at Zhou Qing below, asking with a very serious expression.

Zhou Qing looked at the woman next to him who wanted to pounce on him, and kept shouting 'it's you, it's you', gritted his teeth, and insisted: "My lord, what she said is absolutely not true. Please be careful, my lord!"

Chen Xing looked at the man who obviously had a flickering expression and was still lying, and couldn't restrain his urge to hit someone, and wanted to go over and expose his true colors.Just when he was restless, he suddenly felt a warm touch from the back of his hand, as if someone had patted him lightly. He turned his head and looked over, only to see that Gu Lang was looking at him gently, his eyes full of warmth. It's a soothing look.

Chen Xing was soothed by Gu Lang, and he calmed down immediately, then looked in Zhou Qing's direction, and snorted softly.

"Since you said you didn't instigate her, then look at the next one, do you recognize her?"

As soon as the county magistrate finished speaking, another man was escorted out by the officials from the back of the hall.

The moment Zhou Qing saw the man, his eyes widened immediately, as if he couldn't believe why the person in front of him appeared here.

Chen Xing, who had been very angry since Zhou Qing's arrival, immediately became happy again after seeing Zhou Qing's expression at this moment. He was waiting to see how Zhou Qing would argue next time!
