[Comprehensive Water Margin] Female supporting role is not bad

At the gate of the yamen, there are two big lions carved in stone, and on each side there is a yamen servant holding a gun, which looks mighty and majestic.

Ni Xi stood at the gate of the yamen, hesitated for a while, and finally walked up the steps.

As soon as he went up, he was stopped, with two guns lying in front of him, and the yamen servant let out a threatening voice: "The yamen is an important place, idlers are not allowed to trespass."

Ni Xi hurriedly blessed his body, and said softly: "I have a grievance and I want to appeal, please make it easier for the two elder brothers."

It is rare for a woman to appeal, or such a young woman.

But seeing Ni Xi's serious expression, the yamen servant didn't seem to be fake, he hesitated for a while, and said: "The villain can't make the decision, Lei Dutou is on duty today, this matter needs to be reported to Ming Dutou first."

"Trouble, two big brothers."

After Ni Xi thanked him, he waited at the gate of the yamen.

After a while, a thick-shouldered, round-waisted man with a purple-colored face and a well-dressed man came out from the inside.

"You woman, do you know that the yamen does not allow nonsense!" Na Lei yelled loudly as soon as he got his head up.

Ni Xi bowed softly, "Both slave and father were bullied by the wicked, and there is really no way out. I feel sorry for the father and daughter."

Everyone surnamed Lei listened, and asked, "Who is that villain you want to sue?"

"I want to sue that Zheng Dahu." Her voice was crisp and clear.

"But Zheng Tu who sells meat under Zhuangyuan Bridge?" Dutou surnamed Lei asked again.

Ni Xi answered yes loudly, but he was muttering in his heart, Lei Dutou said in such detail, could it be that he knew Zheng Tu?

Unexpectedly, with her answer, Mr. Lei's face suddenly changed, and the circle of beard on his chin trembled with his loud scolding.

"I know Zheng Tu, it's not the person who does evil, you woman, how can you talk nonsense here and slander good people."

How could Zheng Tu be a good person? Isn't this talking nonsense?Ni Xi was startled, and quickly raised his head and said, "I dare to guarantee that everything I said is true."

Dutou, surnamed Lei, didn't believe it, and ordered the officials on both sides arbitrarily: "Pull this woman down, and don't let her mess around again."

The yamen servant took the order, but only thought of a delicate little lady in Nixi, and said in a soft tone: "Young lady, please go back."

Ni Xi could see now that this Dutou surnamed Lei was protecting Zheng Tu, and suddenly remembered that someone had told her earlier that Zheng Tu and the Dutou in the county government were called brothers, so it must be this Lei Dutou.

She happened to bump into it, and she had to lament the bad luck in her heart.

It's just how she can go back, once today's matter is over, it is conceivable that the three of them will face Zheng Tu's severe revenge in the future.

"Injustice!"

Ni Xi was determined not to go back. Seeing that the surnamed Lei was about to go in, she simply broke her heart and shouted loudly: "If I tell a half-truth today, the sky will be struck by lightning. If Dutou still doesn't believe me, I will Hit and die at the gate of the yamen! To teach that June Feixue Shen Zhaonu's grievances."

After saying that, he made a gesture to bump into the red lacquered pillar at the door.

I didn't expect this woman to be so fierce!

Dutou of the surname Lei panicked, then Zheng Tu is his good brother, but compared with Dutou's position, what is it?If he really let Ni Xi crash and die here today, the county magistrate will be held accountable, and he will never even think about taking the position of head of the capital.

He quickly asked the yamen servant to tighten Ni Xi's grip, and said in a slow tone, "Forget it, what are you doing, I'll report to the master."

He said again in a muffled voice, "But I don't know if the county magistrate will see you or not."

"As long as everyone is informed." As long as the county magistrate knows, he will be resigned to fate.

Obviously speaking with a strong attitude, Ni Xi lowered his eyebrows and eyes, making it really hard to get angry.

Lei surnamed all snorted and walked in.

Instead of looking for the backyard where the county magistrate is, he went straight into the back door of the yamen, and a man dressed as a servant greeted him with a smile, and asked, "I'm sorry to bother you, have you done what Mr. Zheng asked for?"

"The little lady refuses to leave, she has to see the county magistrate."

Speaking of Ni Xi, Lei Heng also felt quite helpless, and said with a bad face: "I have promised her to report to the magistrate."

The servant was shocked, "What should I do? I hope the capital will play around with it."

All Lei surnames were absent-minded and didn't talk to each other.

Salivating, the servant took out a bag of broken silver from his pocket, and handed it to Du Tou, surnamed Lei, "Too much trouble."

Lei Heng weighed it casually, and then smiled and said: "Zheng Tu is my brother, so naturally I should help him. But I also know the county master's decision, so I will do my best."

This is the only way to go, the servant bowed and thanked: "It couldn't be better."

After the two of them finished talking, Lei Heng went to the backyard, walked through the hall, and walked a few steps.Before entering the door, I heard a melodious sound of a piano coming from the yard.

Lei Heng straightened his collar and corrected his attitude before striding in.

The courtyard is wide, and the locust tree in the center of the courtyard is particularly conspicuous. It is the season of late autumn, and the leaves are golden. When the wind blows, the thin leaves rustle and dance with the wind.

Under the locust tree, there was a guqin and a couch, and on the couch sat a handsome young man in casual clothes, with a gentle manner.

The sound of the piano is coming from here.

This young man is the newly appointed magistrate of Yuncheng County. When the magistrate's surname was last name, his name was Wenbin.Before serving as an official in Tokyo, he was relegated to the prefecture and county as a county magistrate because of political disagreements and hated the grand master Cai Jing, and then moved to Yuncheng County.

Because he was upright and honest during his official period, he was known as a parent official by the local people, and he was praised by the local people not long after he took office in Yuncheng County.

There was nothing to do in the yamen that day, so Shi Wenbin had leisure to play the piano in the backyard.

Lei Heng couldn't tell whether the sound of the piano was good or bad, and he was afraid that it would disturb Shi Wenbin's mood, so he stood aside and waited.

Shi Wenbin stopped playing the piano and asked, "What's the matter?"

Lei Heng hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully: "There is a woman at the gate of the yamen, begging in every possible way to say that she was bullied by a villain and she wanted to tell the villain. The villain has nothing to do, so she came to bother the master."

"Who is that villain?" Shi Wenbin asked after pondering for a while.

Lei Heng replied, "The woman said she was Zheng Tu under the Zhuangyuan Bridge."

Thinking that Shi Wenbin had just arrived and didn't know much about some people and things in Yuncheng County, Lei Heng carefully modified his words a little.

"That Zheng Tu is usually friendly and loves his neighbors. He is not a bully. This woman seems to be slandering."

Shi Wenbin glanced at Lei Heng, frowned and said: "This woman is so courageous, she doesn't look like the person you said would slander others, I'd better go and have a look."

After that, he got up and called someone to change his clothes.

Lei Heng was so terrified by that look that he didn't dare to say anything more.

Zheng Tu entrusted him to do his best, and the rest was out of his control.As for the bag of broken silver, once it reaches Lei Heng's pocket, there is no need to get it out again.

Besides, Ni Xi waited alone at the gate of the yamen, and after an unknown amount of time, he finally heard someone from inside come out to summon him.

She was overjoyed and followed in.

I saw the solemn and quiet atmosphere above the courtroom.There are two rows of handymen on the left and right, and a man in official uniform sits in the middle. Behind him is a plaque with four large characters written on it: "Mirror hangs high".

Ni Xi didn't expect that the magistrate looked so young. She didn't dare to look at the face of Qingzhi county, but hurriedly looked away, only to see a desk piled with pens, inks, papers and inkstones in the lower left corner. older men.

The man had a pair of red phoenix eyes and silkworm eyebrows, square lips, and a full sky. Although his appearance was ordinary, he looked quite ambitious.

That is, Ni Xi thought that this person's complexion was too dark, like a farmer working in the fields.Just looking at his attire, he looks like a public official with a clerkship.

However, Ni Xi didn't pay attention after looking at it for a while, she gave a deep blessing to the magistrate's direction, and said: "I will meet the magistrate."

The gavel was photographed, and a clear and majestic voice came down from the hall, "What is your name, this woman? Where do you live?"

Ni Xi didn't dare to look up, and replied in a crisp voice: "My surname is Yan, and my small character is Poxi. Four months ago, I went to Yuncheng County with my father and mother to settle down."

"Po Xi?" The voice seemed a little surprised, and it paused for some reason, and then said: "Yan Shi, please raise your head for me to see?"

Ni Xi raised his head after hearing this, and looked at the man in the center with full eyes. He saw that the man was wearing a green official uniform with a large round collar and a black gauze hat with flat wings. Sven, looks polite.

The man looked at him with excitement in his eyes.

How do you think the magistrate's expression seems to know him?

Ni Xi had an inexplicable sense of familiarity with this person, and his heart was still a little throbbing.It seemed that she knew her, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

Besides, when Wenbin was sitting in the courtroom, he felt very familiar when he saw the slender figure kneeling down, and when she said that her surname was Yan, she was very sure in her heart.

When he was an official in Tokyo two years ago, he met Yan Poxi. At that time, the officialdom was depressed and no one could talk to him. Yan Poxi was his concubine, who was understanding and would say some happy words. Although the two had no close physical contact , but after a while.

Originally, he wanted to take Yan Poxi as a concubine, but later, he offended Cai Jing and was demoted. After the incident happened and he left in a hurry, the two broke contact like this.

I didn't expect to meet again here after two years. Is it because of his fate with Yan Poxi or something.

But looking at her appearance, it seems that she has not recognized herself, and now that she is in court, it is not easy to recognize her hastily.

Shi Wenbin suppressed the excitement in his heart, and asked softly: "Mr. Yan, what grievance do you have? Come and tell me, so that I can make the decision for you."

Never seen the magistrate like this before, Lei Heng lowered his head in panic, deeply regretting what he said in the courtyard earlier.As for the scribe, he looked at Ni Xi thoughtfully, as if he understood something.

Although Ni Xi heard something was wrong, he didn't think too much about it, and told the whole thing: "My father is doing a small business in the neighborhood to support his family, so Zheng Tu asked my father for the cost of the stall. Could it be Wang Tu, my father was so angry that he just argued with him, but Zheng Tu actually kicked him, hurting the slave's father, who was even more contemptuous of the slave, and even threatened to kill the slave. The way of life for father and daughter..."

As she was talking, her eyes were filled with tears, and she was extremely sad: "There is a saying that all goodness and filial piety are the first. The father of the slave has worked hard to raise the slave for eighteen years. Now that the father is bullied by the wicked, how can the slave see it? , I want to seek justice for Father!"

When Shi Wenbin saw Ni Xi's pitiful appearance, he felt pity in his heart. He felt sorry for her experience and was angry with Zheng Tu's behavior.

"So that's how it is, poor Yan."

He stood up angrily, "There is such a bully in Yuncheng County, come here, arrest Zheng Tu and beat him with thirty sticks before sending him to jail!"

After giving an order, he turned and went into the back hall.

Lei Heng wanted to excuse Zheng Tu, and was about to say something nice when Shi Wenbin looked at Ni Xi with pity, and now he understood that the magistrate had taken a fancy to this woman.

He took three or four yamen servants with him to lead the order, and the scribe went out with the other yamen servants.

Ni Xi was left alone in the courtroom. All this happened too quickly. Before she could react, she saw a servant girl put on from the back hall, bowed to Ni Xi and said: "Little lady!" , the magistrate is here to invite you."
