In the Huai'an County Sheriff's Mansion, in the backyard of the government office, several officials were talking in low voices.
A middle-aged fat man with a fat head and big ears asked: "Where are the Xuanyi guards from the imperial capital now?"
A man dressed as a master hurriedly said: "Back to the county guard, Ye Dianshi has already received them. I heard that he has gone to Tianlao to interrogate the Sun Liu family in person."
"You didn't say you wanted me to go meet him?"
The master shook his head, "My lord, you are a serious and upright fifth-grade civil servant. Although the Xuanyi guards are powerful, they can't cover the sky with one hand. You can't just show up. My lord, you have to come out to receive it in person, right?"
It is enough for Ye Dianshi to come forward! "
The county guard hummed, "What you said makes sense. I announced to the outside world that I was ill with the cold and had to rest in bed, so it was inconvenient to see guests.
By the way, don't offend brats like Xuanyi Wei. All the generous gifts that need to be prepared are prepared. Whatever needs they have, whether it's money or women, as long as they don't go too far, everything that needs to be arranged will be arranged. "
Vision smiled and said: "Don't worry, sir, I have already said hello to them at Cuiyun Tower. There will be a banquet in the evening and Li Tongpan will personally receive them.
They are all a group of young people, at the age when they are full of anger. They have a courtesan in their room at night, so I can guarantee that they will not cause any trouble for you, sir! "
"That's good, that's good!" The county guard was very satisfied and patted his shoulder, "You can do things, I don't worry, I will do as you say!"
...
In the prison, Song Xuan and the prisoner's wife, Mrs. Sun Liu, were staring at each other with big eyes.
Not to mention, although this woman is married, she is actually in her early twenties. Even though she has been tortured in the prison and looks haggard, if you look closely, you can vaguely see that she looks very beautiful. .
"Think clearly, this is your last chance. If you don't want to ride a wooden horse and parade through the streets, then tell me, are you committing adultery?"
Mrs. Sun Liu looked at Song Xuan in fear. She was ashamed to say some words and subconsciously turned to look at Song Qian.
But the next moment, she set her sights on Song Xuan again.
Forget it, the Xuanyi Wei girl seems to be a cruel person, but this young man is more kind.
"Sir, the common woman has been wronged!"
Mrs. Sun Liu knelt on the ground, tears finally flowing out of her eyes, "Sir, I'm wronged! I'm really wronged! I was forced, I really didn't commit adultery!"
"Sir, I can die, but I can never die with the reputation of adultery!
I was wronged, I was forced, I was not committing adultery! Not adultery! "
The woman was a little excited and kept saying it was not adultery. But when Song Xuan asked what happened, she faltered incoherently and couldn't speak.
"never mind!"
Song Xuan sighed and ordered to the monkey outside the cell: "Go and bring the husband of the prisoner's wife outside the city!"
As he said that, he turned to look at Ye Dianshi, "Please, Ye Dianshi, please send a few government servants to accompany him."
Ye Dianshi didn't waste any time. He immediately appointed several government servants and followed the monkey out of the prison quickly.
More than an hour later, several people dragged a farm man into the cell.
As soon as the man saw the woman kneeling on the ground, he immediately shouted angrily, "Bitch, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Song Xuan heard the noise and looked at Lu Xiaoliu to tell him to be quiet.
Lu Xiaoliu immediately took a step forward, pulled out the long sword from his waist with a cry, and scolded: "You dare to make such a loud noise in front of my Xuanyi guard, you don't want to live long, right?"
As the sound of the weapon twitching sounded, the man suddenly became more honest, especially after seeing Lu Xiaoliu's cold eyes, his legs immediately softened and he knelt on the ground with a thud.
"Sir, I have never done anything bad in my whole life. You can't wrongly accuse a good person!"
Song Xuan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and said in a deep voice: "What are you asking, and what do you answer? If you dare to tell any lies, I will send you to Xuanyi Guard Prison for dinner!"
As soon as the word Xuanyi Guard came out, let alone this peasant man, even Ye Dianshi and other government officials outside the door couldn't help but tremble.
That place is simply the Palace of Hell built in the human world. Once you enter, don't even think about walking out.
"I want to ask you, did you report your wife's adultery to the Yamen?"
The man was hesitant and subconsciously looked outside the cell, as if asking if he could speak.
But before he could get a response, Lu Xiaoliu's sword was already placed on his neck.
Then, this man suddenly became scared.
"Sir, how can we ordinary people dare to report to the government these days?"
"oh?"
Song Xuan suddenly became interested, "Tell me carefully what you know!"
"Okay, I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything!"
The man took a deep breath and started from the beginning.
"I was originally a tenant farmer outside the county. I made a living by working for others. Although my life was not rich, I could still get by. Over the past few years, my family had accumulated some extra money.
Perhaps it was the good fortune I had accumulated in my previous life. After being introduced by a matchmaker, I married a beautiful wife. Who in the village would not envy her? "
Speaking of marrying a wife, this man looked at his wife who was kneeling on the ground with her head lowered and sobbing softly, with complex expressions in her eyes.
"I'm not afraid of your ridicule, sir. We banker guys have never seen anything like this in the world. My wife's appearance is not comparable to that of the ladies from wealthy families, but she is famously good-looking in the surrounding villages. "
He looked at Song Xuan and then at Song Qian, feeling a little embarrassed. Although his wife was beautiful, there was still a gap in appearance between them.
"Stop talking nonsense, just say it!" Song Xuan urged.
"Oh, then..." The man swallowed, with a look of annoyance on his face, "Then, disaster happened."
"That night, when I came back from work in the city, I found a woman sitting outside the fence of my yard. She seemed to be resting.
I stepped forward to ask, and the other party claimed that her name was Xiaoli and that she lived in Huaiyang County next door.
Xiaoli said that she had been married for five years, but after her husband passed away last year, her husband's family abused her in every possible way, and her father-in-law even had unwanted thoughts about her.
She couldn't bear it anymore so she ran away secretly. Now she is living here. She has used up all her money and wants to stay at my house for one night. "
The man paused slightly when he said this, and said sheepishly: "I thought she was pitiful, so I agreed."
Song Qian chuckled, "You think she's pretty, right? Let me ask you, if an old woman comes and wants to stay at your house for a night, would you agree?"
The man lowered his head in shame, "It should be possible, right?"
Song Xuan waved his hand and asked, "Is this woman related to this case?"
"It's related! This happened all because of her!"
Song Xuan nodded, "Then continue!"
