Your Majesty, she doesn't want to flip the brand

Zhou Xingzhi was originally a melon-eating crowd and didn't intend to intervene in this matter. After all, she just snatched He Yue by chance and then had a meal.The money and residence given by Master He can just offset their kindness in saving He Yue.

But by coincidence, the head catcher looked through the ledger and found that Master He had given Zhou Xingzhi 2000 taels of silver, and felt that she was involved in the case, so he insisted on asking her to come.

"We just arrived in Renqiu today. The 2000 taels are just a gift for us. It has nothing to do with the tax evasion you mentioned just now." Zhou Xingzhi's face showed a little impatience. She came out to play. Yes, I didn't come out to interfere with things. If I was taken to the Yamen, it would definitely waste unnecessary time.

"Liu Butou, this young master really has nothing to do with our He family. We only met at noon." Master He was a little embarrassed. Zhou Xingzhi was regarded as the benefactor of the He family, but he was involved in the case because of himself.

"I say that there is a relationship, and it is a relationship. This is 2000 taels of silver. You can give it wherever you say! Maybe this is how you make fake accounts to evade taxes!" Liu Butou put his hand on the handle of the knife, and the blade slightly Sheath, want to use this to deter Zhou Xingzhi and others.

This time I stabbed the hornet's nest. After seeing Liu Butou's movements, the guards who followed Zhou Xingzhi subconsciously felt that he was in danger, and pulled out half of their weapons with a bang. He stared at Liu Butou with a hint of murderous look in his eyes.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to fight against the government and the Yamen!" After Liu Butou saw the neat movements of the guards, he secretly thought that something was wrong. These people seem to be well-trained, and they don't look like ordinary wealthy people who can support them. The follower who came out.

"Obviously you were the ones who wanted to take us away indiscriminately first." Yang Bai'an, who had been serving as the background board, said, "You have no definite evidence at all that we are related to the case you said. There is no physical evidence, everything is your personal guess."

"May I ask which law in the Zhou Dynasty said that the yamen servants can bring people back to the yamen based on guesswork?" Yang Bai'an is a reasonable person, and he speaks directly with the law.

"You..." Liu Butou was at a loss for words, but he couldn't think of any words to refute Yang Bai'an. After all, the Zhou Dynasty did not have this law.

"Based on personal guesswork, you speak bad words to us, and even threaten us with knives. According to the fifth subsection of the third chapter of the Zhou Dynasty's law, we can sue you for intimidating innocent people. You have to apologize to us!" Yang Bai'an told the law. Fa Ke is not only familiar with it, she can also recite it backwards.

"You...I..." Liu Catcher was speechless now. Although he understood the law, he didn't understand it in detail as well as Yang Bai'an. After hearing her recite the chapters and verses, he almost Already believed her words.

Seeing that Yang Bai'an's words made Liu catcher stunned, Zhou Xingzhi showed a little smile on his face, and waved his hand to put the guard's knife back into its sheath, "Liu catcher leads the way, we will accompany you to the Yamen."

The expression on Liu Butou's face was not good. He wanted to let go and admit his mistake just now, but when Zhou Xingzhi said this, he blocked his way out again. He nodded pretending to be calm, and then led a group of people away.

"There is no need for irrelevant personnel to follow, I just take you to ask a question." Liu Catcher said.

"Who is the irrelevant person?" Zhou Xingzhi asked.

Liu Catcher frowned, "Of course it's your entourage, at most you can bring the rescuer with you, and others will not be able to enter the yamen if they come with you."

Zhou Xingzhi didn't refute either, and looked back at his followers, signaling Ye Ningxuan, Wei Zhong and others to stay, and only brought Jiang Qianhu and four or five guards with him.

"Cousin, let me go in with you." Yang Bai'an said, then lowered his voice, "The magistrate of Renqiu is my father's subordinate official, I have met him before, and I will just explain the situation for my cousin when the time comes. "

Zhou Xingzhi hesitated for a moment, exchanged glances with Ye Ningxuan, and finally agreed.

Because it is still in the sealing period, and someone wrote a letter to report, the county magistrate has not been promoted, but he just called Master He over, it can be regarded as an investigation first, and then make a decision according to the severity of the case.

After entering the gate, Master He saw two sons with wounds on their faces standing at the edge of the yard, beside them was a young man with a bruised nose and a swollen face and a crying girl.

"Lord magistrate, what's going on?" Master He glanced over several people, and finally walked towards the magistrate on the first seat, bowing and saluting.

"Master He is here. The two sons of your family gathered to fight because of a girl. The impact is not very good. How is Master He going to solve it?" Zhixian sat on the first seat, holding a teacup in his hand, and slowly covered it Skim off some of the froth.

"My lord, this is the account book, and there are other things..." Liu Butou lowered his voice, and briefly explained the origin of Zhou Xingzhi's visitor.

"Come here from the capital?" After hearing Liu Tutou's words, the magistrate paused for a moment. The capital is a place where rich and powerful people gather. Those who came out of the capital at this time came with entourage, and most of them were people with backgrounds.

After getting an affirmative answer, Zhixian put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and walked outside, "Didn't you ask who they are?"

Liu Butou lowered his voice and said, "I asked, but the other party only said that he was visiting relatives in Hejian from the capital, and didn't say anything else."

Zhixian took a look at Master He, and out of prudence, he just skipped him and walked towards Zhou Xingzhi.

"My official is Ren Xingxue, the county magistrate of Renqiu. I heard that the two of you are visiting relatives from the capital. Could you tell me your name and place of origin?" He is from a family.

"The capital city, the surname is Zhou." Zhou Xingzhi said.

"My father settled in Hejian, but his ancestral home is in Qingyuan County, Baoding Prefecture, and his surname is Yang." Yang Bai'an said.

Baoding Mansion is adjacent to Hejian Mansion, because local officials need to avoid their ancestral home when they are appointed, so Yang Bai'an's father was appointed as a county magistrate in Hejian Mansion after he passed the Jinshi examination.Hejian Mansion is very close to the capital city, with good economic development and public security. Father Yang simply moved his small family to Hejian.Relying on the halo of the prince's mother's family, Father Yang climbed from a magistrate to the magistrate's position very smoothly.

"It turned out to be Mr. Zhou and Miss Yang." Ren Xingxue quickly searched the memories in his mind. Zhou was a national surname as well as a common surname, and there were many surnames Zhou who were associated with the royal family.As for Yang, he doesn't know much about Baoding Prefecture. As for Hejian, it seems that the prefect of Hejian is...

Not knowing what came to mind, Ren Xingxue's gaze stayed on Yang Bai'an, and he performed a pupil earthquake live.

"Miss Yang's father, is Master Yang from Hejian?" Ren Xingxue had met Yang Zhifu, and Yang Bai'an's appearance was three points similar to her father's, so it was easy to spot the clues if he looked carefully.

But this is wrong, he remembered that Yang Zhifu had only one daughter, who had already entered the palace and became His Majesty's concubine.If the person in front of her is really the daughter of the magistrate Yang, then the young master Zhou next to her is...

After thinking of this, Ren Xingxue had a crazy idea in his mind. He slowly moved his eyes to Zhou Xingzhi, and when his legs softened, he subconsciously knelt down.

Zhou Xingzhi quickly supported Ren Xingxue's arm, "Your Excellency, stand still." The county magistrate had good eyesight and a quick brain response, and he even guessed their identities.

"Yes, yes, stand firm, I stand firm." Ren Xingxue was frightened into a cold sweat, and at the same time, he could see that Zhou Xingzhi didn't want to reveal his identity, and tried his best to behave normally.

"My lord, are you slipping on your feet?" Liu Butou and Ren Xingxue were a little far away, and they couldn't hear what they said clearly, "The followers of these two people are still carrying weapons..."

"Okay, I see, there is no need to mention this matter again." Ren Xingxue interrupted Liu Butou's words, and then bowed to the two, "I'm very sorry, my subordinate is a bit straightforward. It doesn't matter if you are here, I will send someone to send you two back."

"It's all here, why don't you just see if Master He has made any mistakes." Zhou Xingzhi said with a smile, it was easy to call her over, but it was difficult to send her back.

"Yes, yes." Ren Xing replied, subconsciously giving way.

Liu Butou was only a little slow to react, and he was not stupid, and soon saw the clue from the performance of his own county magistrate. The status of the two was much higher than that of the magistrate.

In the presence of Zhou Xingzhi, Ren Xingxue didn't dare to take Joe anymore, and quickly told the whole story.

Master He's two sons did get together to fight. After drinking, their heads were a little confused. After being said a few words, they started fighting.After hearing this, Mr. He immediately said that he could compensate for the medical expenses, and hoped that the matter would be at peace.

The person who was beaten seemed to have noticed something, and he didn't cling to it like before, and limped away after receiving the compensation money.

"Master He, I won't keep it from you anymore. The Shi family told me about the tax evasion, and he has part of your family's account books." Ren Xingxue glanced at Zhou Xingzhi from the corner of his eye as he spoke, "According to his words, Master He, you underpaid 2000 taels of tax in total."

"It shouldn't be. I reconciled the account book years ago, and I paid a total of 500 taels of silver, and I didn't miss a penny!" Master He said as he opened the account book he brought over. , directly turned to the last side, and pointed out the numbers.

Ren Xingxue leaned over to take a look, subconsciously looked at Zhou Xingzhi, and asked her opinion.
