General, he's cheating again

"Beauty? My little beauty?

Don't hide, you must know that your younger brother offended was the son of a wealthy merchant in the city, even if he really didn't steal anything from others, it would be very difficult to release him.

If you are so beautiful, if you are willing to be my concubine, I might consider letting your brother go without hesitating to offend the merchant.Oh, little beauty, look, how is this? "

It was a sunny day at noon, the gate of the government office located on the East Street in Tanzhou City was closed tightly, and there were two servants standing guard in front of the main entrance.

There was no one in the yamen, except for the hall with the inscription "Mirror Hanging High", there was a long-faced and small-eyed governor of Tanzhou, Yu Duocheng, who was dressed in an official uniform of egrets and green robes, and a black gauze cap, looking for something in the hall. At this moment, he was still chanting words with a lewd smile on his face.

Crouching down behind a bush in the yard, the girl staring at Yu Duocheng from the gaps in the branches and leaves paled, covered her mouth with one hand to keep herself from crying, and trembled nervously.

Her younger brother was imprisoned for being framed and stolen a few days ago. After learning about this, her parents went to the governor's mansion to seek justice but returned without success.

Until this morning, her parents suddenly gave her a piece of letter paper, saying that it was evidence, and as long as she showed it to the governor, the governor would let her brother back, but how did she know that she was taken away by the guards and imprisoned as soon as she entered the yamen.

At noon, the guards brought her into the lobby of the yamen, and she found a place to hide because she was too scared.Sure enough, after a while, I saw a man with an obscene appearance and wearing an official uniform walked into the courtyard, looking for her while trying to persuade her.

At this time, two yamen guards at the gate of the county yamen crossed water and fire sticks to block the door. They said decisively to the group in front of them: "The governor is not in the yamen at the moment. If you have something to do, come back later in the afternoon."

Seeing this, Hua Yan looked at the yamen servant's face and nodded thoughtfully, then turned around and approached Gu Zhen with a flick of his sleeves, and said in a low voice: "It's really strange, this yamen is so good, but the door is closed and there are no guards." Allow others to enter, I guess there must be something weird inside."

"Is there any weirdness, you will know if you go in and have a look."

Gu Zhen slightly squinted his phoenix eyes and spoke narrowly, then ordered Hua Yan to wait in front of the door with a group of guards, and Qin Qingrong and himself went around to the back of the yamen.

After arriving, the two stopped and looked up at the two-person high courtyard wall in front of them. Qin Qingrong couldn't help rolling his Adam's apple and swallowed dryly, showing embarrassment.

"Master Gu wants to climb over the wall and get in?"

Qin Qingrong's peach blossom eyes looked at the calm Gu Zhen with complicated expressions, and asked reluctantly with a smile.He was afraid that Gu Zhen had forgotten that not everyone was as good at martial arts as Gu Zhen.

With a sigh and a chuckle, Gu Zhen heard the words and lowered his eyebrows to look at Qin Qingrong leisurely, put his arm around Qin Qingrong's waist for a few steps, led Qin Qingrong up the wall and entered the yamen with ease.

When Qin Qingrong was already standing on the ground, his mind was in a trance. Before he realized what happened, he saw Gu Zhen stepping forward with his hands behind his back, shaking his head and sighing: "I have long known that Mr. Qin is as light as a kite. Isn't it easy to bring you in?"

Hearing that her cheeks were flushed, Qin Qingrong caressed her slightly hot face with the back of her hand and fixed her eyes on Gu Zhen's back, sighed helplessly before catching up.

Walking near the lobby, the two heard the whimpering of a girl not far away. They rushed to the courtyard and saw a tall and thin man in official uniform bending over and approaching a bush at a slow pace.

Yu Duocheng rubbed his hands happily, staring lewdly at the beauty behind the undergrowth who was frightened to the point of rain, and said with a lewd smile: "Little beauty, you must have been discovered by me hahaha..."

He was just about to pounce on the beauty's skirt, but someone kicked him hard on the buttocks.

Fell face-to-face, Yu Duocheng raised his head in embarrassment, but saw two men with extraordinary appearance standing in front of him.

He raised his arm and pointed at the faces of the two people in front of him, bared his teeth and cursed: "Dare to kick me, grandpa, who did it between you two?!"

Entering the courtyard, Qin Qingrong leaned over to help the girl who was so frightened that she was sitting paralyzed at the moment.

Beside him, Gu Zhen looked down at Yu Duocheng, who was still unable to get up on the ground, raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly, "Well, I guessed it right. It was your grandfather who kicked me, how about it?"

Yu Duocheng was so angry that his face turned green, and he turned his eyes to Qin Qingrong with a fierce expression on his face, but he heard Gu Zhen say to him: "Don't look, that's your grandma."

Hearing this, Qin Qingrong, who was helping the girl to stand up, frowned slightly, turned around and glared at Gu Zhen.

"Come on! Come on..."

Yu Duocheng stood up holding his buttocks and wanted to call the guards to arrest the two, but suddenly remembered that all the guards in the government office had been sent away by him, he couldn't help but clenched his fists and turned to look at the two with official authority and scolded: "You two don't have eyes, I'm the governor of Tanzhou!"

After finishing speaking, he saw that Gu Zhen had taken out a black iron token from his sleeve and was holding it in his hand. After seeing the word "Gu" clearly on the token, his feet became weak and he almost fell again.

Gu Zhen sneered in front of him, "Why doesn't this general know that the governor's official authority is so great?"

Yu Duocheng's complexion was pale, and seeing Qin Qingrong walk up to him and stand upright, he took out a bright yellow scroll from his sleeve and said coldly, "Tanzhou Inspector Yu Duocheng obeys orders."

Knowing that what Qin Qingrong held was an imperial decree, Yu Duocheng's heart instantly cooled down. He knelt down and bowed his head and said in a trembling voice: "My minister is here."

Qin Qingrong lowered his eyebrows and glanced at Yu Duocheng, who was kneeling and trembling, looked back at the scroll and said in a low voice, "By God, the emperor said.

The emperor's edict said: Yu Duocheng, the governor of Tanzhou, is incompetent and immoral. Before, there was a Qian family who disappeared and his wife went to Beijing to file a complaint and killed him. Later, there was a private possession of salt and iron in Longshan County, which disrupted our dynasty's economy.I have always known that "the water is clear and the sand is self-cleaning, and the officials are self-defeating". Yu Duocheng, the governor of Tanzhou, did not do anything.

During the current investigation period, he will be dismissed from his post and stand by for orders, and he will be sent to Kaifeng to discuss his crimes again, so as to see the aftermath.

This is it. "

Hearing that a layer of cold sweat broke out on Yu Duocheng's forehead, and his body was almost paralyzed on the ground, he slowly raised the order of the leader and said: "My minister, accept the order."

"My lord! I beg my lord to save my brother. My brother was framed and is still in prison. This is evidence."

Seeing that Yu Duocheng had committed a felony, the girl who had been standing aside couldn't help but feel relieved at the moment, so she quickly took out the letter paper in her bag and handed it to Gu Zhen and Qin Qingrong, kneeling down and praying.

The two of them took the letter paper and took a closer look, but they saw that there was no evidence here, but a contract of sale signed by the girl's parents, and the person who sold it was probably the girl in front of her.

Looking at the girl kneeling on the ground in front of her who was still anxious about her younger brother, Qin Qingrong and Gu Zhen looked at each other and their hearts sank. Gu Zhen silently took the letter paper from Qin Qingrong's hand and hid it in his sleeve.

Afterwards, the gate of the government office was opened, and Yu Duocheng was locked in the dungeon in the backyard of the office.Standing on both sides of the hall are the accompanying cavalry in black. Qin Qingrong and Gu Zhen are sitting in the hall, and on the two sides are Hua Yan and Ya Nei Zhubu.

Arriving in Tanzhou this time, Gu Zhen and the others divided into two groups and went to the Governor's Mansion and Longshan County respectively.

Qin Qingrong, Gu Zhen, and Hua Yan first entered the city to find out the signs of the distribution of the hidden salt and iron in the market, while Ye Ruan, Chen Linxiang, Leng Ji, and Li Zhenyi were responsible for going to Longshan County to check and clear the hidden salt and iron. And transported back to the capital.

The plaintiff in the theft was the son of the rich businessman, who was kneeling on the ground by two black-clothed cavalrymen.

When he came to the yamen, he frowned and looked around, only to see two new faces sitting in the hall, and what was even more rare was that the brocade robe worn by one of them was expensive at first glance, he couldn't help sighing to himself. I'm afraid it won't work if I bribe the little yanx130_ things.

He glanced at the family kneeling next to him, all of them lowered their heads timidly, as if they had never seen the world, and he couldn't help feeling more confident.

Immediately, he pulled off a piece of jade tied around his waist, and the rich man preemptively held his head up and argued: "My lord! That kid stole something from me, here, it's the jade pendant on my waist.

You know, this jade pendant is very valuable, if it is lost, no matter how rich my son's family is, it will be a big loss. "

"I didn't, you're talking nonsense!" The young man who was kneeling among the family said angrily when he heard the words and looked at the rich man.

And this young man from a rich family was not stage frightened, he looked at Gu Zhen and Qin Qingrong and said eloquently: "My lord, I have a witness, and this person is a servant of my family."

Gu Zhen stretched his chin and sat on the wide chair at the head of the hall. His phoenix eyes lightly glanced at the rich man who was kneeling below and asked, "Oh? Your servant? What's his name?"

"This...is Ah Qian, yes! It's what he saw with his own eyes." The rich man couldn't help but look away, with a bit of guilt in his tone.

Seeing this, Qin Qingrong pointed to a guard, and he whispered to the guard to interrogate the boy outside first, and return to his command after the interrogation.

Gu Zhen next to him heard the rich man's words and said "yes", he pointed to the defendant's young man and then asked the rich man: "Since you said that he stole your money, then I will ask you, When did you find out that your jade pendant was lost?

When did that boy named Ah Qian tell you that he was the one who stole the jade pendant?And when and where did that boy see how he stole your jade pendant? "

"This..." The rich man couldn't help being embarrassed when he heard the words. He was lying casually, so how could he think so carefully, after thinking for a long time, he finally argued, "I don't remember so much when it happened suddenly!"

Qin Qingrong said seriously: "That means insufficient evidence."

Hearing this, the rich man had no choice but to forcefully write it down, "I, I found out that the jade pendant was lost three mornings ago. Then Ah Qian, he, Ah Qian..."

"My lord, the boy named Aqian outside the door said that his master had his gold stolen three nights ago."

The guard who had just been sent out for interrogation entered the hall and bowed his head to reply.

Gu Zhen was amused by this rich man and his stupid servant. He shook his head and sighed softly and couldn't help but sneer, "You master and servant are sometimes at night and sometimes during the day, and sometimes wear jade and sometimes gold. It's just ridiculous."

"My lord, forgive me! It was the villain who lost his head in a moment of impatience and talked nonsense!" Seeing that the lie was ruined, the rich man couldn't help but panic, and confessed his crime before Gu Zhen could get out of it.

Qin Qingrong looked at the rich man and shook his head in bewilderment and sighed, "You know, the crime you committed is framed."

"Come here, drag it down and hit twenty big boards." Gu Zhen glanced at the trembling rich man, and felt bored seeing this man plead guilty so quickly, he said lightly: "A fine of 50 taels of silver, To serve as an example to others."

The screams of the wealthy family in the courtyard were louder and louder, and the kneeling family in the hall looked at each other, until they heard the people in the hall tell them that they could go, then they thanked them and went home together.

After returning home, the couple called the girl aside and asked if the girl had handed over the letter paper they gave the girl in the morning.

But the girl nodded and said that the letter was taken away by the adult who was interrogating in class today, and then tore it up in front of her.

The couple couldn't help crying when they heard the words. They hugged the girl in front of them, and while wiping their tears, they thought that now their family can live a good life together again...
