Wulong Inn

Master Qian snorted angrily, thinking to himself, what kind of evil did this hit, why did he bother me? One or two of them were both surnamed Yue, and said impatiently: "Your brother? What happened to him?"

As if she didn't hear the impatience in Master Qian's tone, Yue Qinlian's expression remained unchanged: "My lord, Minnv's elder brother has not returned since he left home yesterday."

Raising his eyebrows, Master Qian ignored the girl, turned his head to Ma Kui Wensheng who was beside him and said, "Ma Tutou."

"What's your order?" Ma Kui asked in a sullen voice.

"Let me ask you," Master Qian's voice became more gentle, "What is the role of the county magistrate in this place?"

"Return to your lord", just listen to Ma Kui's respectful voice: "Take charge of civil affairs in one place, punish prisons, and educate."

"Oh..." Master Qian acted as if he had suddenly realized something, and then asked in doubt: "Do you care about finding someone?

"Master County, you have a lot of work every day," Ma Kui said nonsense with eyes open, "It's a trivial matter of finding someone, and I can't control it."

"Oh, that's how it is." Master Qian seemed to have finally fully understood, looked at the girl in a blink of an eye, shrugged his shoulders, and showed a helpless expression.

Master Wang glanced at his lips, and said in his heart: "Just talk well, what kind of drama are you doing?"

"But, he was invited by your lord yesterday." The girl finally revealed a hint of anxiety in her tone.

"By me?" Master Qian pointed at himself with a puzzled expression on his face.

"Yes, it was this official who sent my eldest brother to take my brother away yesterday." Yue Qinlian pointed at Ma Kui who was standing beside her.

"What's your elder brother's name?" Master Qian asked, with some guesses in his mind.

Yue Qinlian said: "My elder brother's surname is Yue and his name is Qianshan."

"Pa" Mr. Qian patted the gavel, thinking, "Sure enough, they are brothers and sisters, it's not easy." Just as he was about to utter evil words, he heard another commotion outside.

Before Master Qian came back to his senses, he saw a middle-aged woman with disheveled hair rushing in. She grabbed the water and fire sticks used by the yamen servants to maintain order. Festival defeat.The scene was extremely chaotic for a while.But he saw the woman walking into the hall while beating her, seeing that she was getting closer and closer to him, Master Qian screamed: "Stop, stop her!".

Ma Tutou obeyed his orders and hurriedly rushed forward to grab the other end of the water and fire stick, hooking and pulling with his backhand.The woman was attracted by this force, and couldn't help taking a few steps forward. The horse caught her head and saw that she was replaced by the force, kicked her down, and took the water and fire stick into her hand.The scene was finally under control.Seeing that the woman's murder weapon had been taken away, all the guards rushed forward and restrained her.

Seeing that the situation subsided, Master Qian also calmed down, stabilized his mind, and slapped the gavel vigorously: "Hey! How dare you make a scene in court!"

The woman's hands were cut behind her back, and she knelt on the ground. Hearing Master Qian's angry shout, she finally became a little scared, and said loudly, "My lord, please forgive me. It's those people who don't let the women in, so the women..."

"The most important place in the county government, you and other mountain fools can enter whenever they want!" Master Qian snapped, "Trespassing in the courtroom, picking quarrels and provoking trouble, give me...

Just as Master Qian was about to hit ten boards first, the woman said again: "Master Qingtian, the women are not here to cause trouble, the women are here to find someone!"

"Looking for someone!? Master Qian laughed back in anger, and said in a hey voice: "One or two are here to look for people. Think my county office is a shelter! "

"But they said that my son was taken away by your master!" The woman was not to be outdone, "I found out that it was a dog officer named Ma Kui who took my son away!"

Master Qian and Master Wang looked at Ma Tutou together, and thought: "Old Ma, your click rate is so high."

But the woman cried and said: "My poor son is the most well-behaved and kind, but he is not willing to hurt even ants on weekdays. How could he do anything illegal? He must be framed by an adulterer! Master Qingtian, You have to be careful!"

"What's your son's name, and what crime was he arrested for? Being disturbed by that woman's crying and quarreling, Master Qian had no choice but to ask.

Upon hearing this, the woman immediately regained her spirits: "My son's name is Liu Xing, and the dog officer took him away in a short while, and he didn't say anything about the crime!"

It turned out that this woman was Liu Xing's mother, Wu Cuilan. That Liu Xing was detained at home by Liu Quan and was not allowed to go out every day. Yesterday she finally couldn't hold back her son's stubbornness and let him go out secretly.Unexpectedly, my son did not return all night!

Wu Cuilan, who didn't sleep well all night, inquired all the way to the county seat, but heard that her precious son was taken away by the officials!Immediately, she became anxious, and went to the county government office, but was stopped by the government officials at the gate. Wu Cuilan, who was eager to find her son, didn't care so much, she snatched the water and fire stick from the policeman's hand and rushed into the important person in the government office.This leads to the following series of reasons.

"Liu Xing?" Hearing the name, Master Qian felt a little familiar. Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Master Qian said: "This Liu Xing, I clearly..."

"My lord!" Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted loudly.But saw that Mr. Wang came over, bent over to Mr. Qian who was sitting on the chair and said in a low voice: "My lord, please take a step to talk."

So, Master Qian explained something and took Master Wang to the back hall.

———————————————————————————————————

"Zi Zhan, what's the matter?" Master Qian asked as soon as he arrived in the back hall.But I saw Master Wang taking out several pieces of paper from his arms.After receiving the folded stack of 'paper' from the other party, Master Qian opened it with a puzzled expression, glanced at the top one, and suddenly widened his eyes.What kind of paper is this? It is clearly a few bank notes that are commonly used in the Kaiyuan Kingdom.Holding the stack of banknotes, Master Qian looked at Master Wang suspiciously: "Zi Zhan, you... what are you doing? This money?"

"Don't be impatient, my lord, just listen to me..." Master Wang said calmly.Concisely talked about the whole story of the case heard yesterday.

"So that's how it is." Master Qian twirled his short beard on his chin, and said to Master Wang with some complaints, "Why didn't you say it earlier, and let me be in such a mess today."

"I want to say it, but you have to give me a chance. I didn't see you all night yesterday. This morning, it's like taking gunpowder. Don't get close to strangers with a full face," Master Wang thought. Complained, but said: "It's the students who were negligent and missed the adults."

After carefully counting the silver bills and finding that they were correct, Master Qian folded them up, carefully stuffed them into his arms, and said to Master Wang: "You helped me find this money, it should be considered a great service, what's more Yes. Just remember to call me earlier next time.”

"Yes, the student wrote it down."Master Wang said respectfully: "But I don't know how my lord will settle this matter now?"

"What do you think it should be?" Master Qian asked with interest.

Master Wang talked eloquently: "Students believe that Yue Tongsheng should be released without charge. But Liu and Xu committed adultery first, and murdered their lives later. Although the sufferer did not die, they behaved very badly and did not want to repent. If you try your best to quibble, you should be given a heavy sentence, whether you want to be detained or deported, it all depends on the adult's sentencing."

He didn't judge Master Wang's words, but he saw that Master Qian smiled mysteriously and said, "Zi Zhan, you don't have to worry about this matter, my lord, I have my own opinion." Then he turned and went back to the front hall.

Master Wang followed behind him with a puzzled look on his face.

However, Master Qian turned back to the hall, sat down unhurriedly, and said to the two kneeling in the hall: "I know that you are worried about your relatives, but Yue Qianshan and Liu Xing are involved in a public case. The county wants to let it go, but it can't."

"What kind of case, my son has always been kind, how could he get involved in such a case." Wu Cuizhen looked disbelieving.

"My brother has always been well-behaved and law-abiding, and he will never do anything beyond the boundaries," Yue Qinlian also said.

"Bold! How dare you question the county!" Master Qian said angrily, "Come on, give me the fork."The guards on the left and right rushed forward, ignored their calls, cried and dragged them out.

Master Qian turned his head and winked at Ma Kui who was standing aside, Ma Kui immediately followed out knowingly.

"What do you mean, my lord?" Master Wang looked puzzled.

"Don't say it, don't say it." Master Qian said 'I won't tell you'.
