The government officials were holding long knives and looked fierce. Occasionally, they would turn around and look at a gorgeous woman behind them.
Obviously, she called these government officials.
I saw that she was about forty years old, wearing rich and luxurious clothes. Although her facial features were already old, she could vaguely resemble the Gao Yamen who was suppressed in the prison of Yunshui County.
However, Gao Yamen was full of arrogance, while the woman was filled with sadness and anger. Her eyes swept over Jiang Sheng and the others, and finally landed on Xu Mo, the oldest.
"You are the one who sued my brother?" She opened her mouth with hatred, "You are from Xieyang County, and he is also from Xieyang County. Why would you go to such a remote area as Yunshui County?"
Jiang Sheng slandered: Don’t you know why?
But she didn't dare to speak.
Xu Mo, as the representative of the whole family, raised his hands and said, "This must be the county magistrate's wife. We are very sad that something like this happened. Going to Yunshui County is just a matter of proximity. After all, no one stipulates that the case must be attributed to the place of birth of the person involved." The case can only be heard depending on the location.”
Such an answer, without revealing anything, is really not like what a twelve-year-old child can say.
The county magistrate's wife trembled at the corner of her mouth, "My brother is naughty by nature. I didn't educate him properly and made a joke on you. Even if you are dissatisfied, you should come to him. How can you sue the county government and cause him to have trouble?" You can't return home, so you stay in Yunshui County and suffer?"
It was obvious that he was intentionally harming others, but he was said to be naughty in nature.
Even Jiang Sheng couldn't help laughing.
Xu Mo, however, remained serious and said in a cold voice, "The case was decided by Pang County Magistrate. If Madam is confused, she should go to Yunshui County Yamen instead of asking the victim."
The county magistrate's wife said nothing more and looked at Xu Mo coldly.
"Since you are toasting and not eating..."
Before he could finish the rest of his words, he was interrupted by Jiang Sheng's surprised "Mr. Pang".
Everyone followed her gaze towards the door of the clothing store.
Wearing new clothes and new shoes, Pang Pangshan unconsciously raised his chest and raised his head. He murmured several times before he managed to formulate a well-spoken "hmm".
"Why did Mr. Pang come back from Yunshui County? Does Magistrate Pang have anything to say to us?" Jiang Sheng said happily, "Then Mr. Pang will stay a few more days this time so that I can thank you."
A few words revealed the considerable relationship between Pang Pangshan and Magistrate Pang.
The expressions of the bystanders changed again.
As the saying goes, if a person achieves enlightenment, a chicken or a dog will ascend to heaven.
Even if he was just a small county magistrate, his brother-in-law, or his nephew, anyone who was related to him would make ordinary people feel awe from the bottom of their hearts.
The only one she disdains is the county magistrate's wife.
In her eyes, her brother's affairs are the first priority, and venting her anger for her brother is the second most important thing.
"Who cares about you, Mr. Pang, come here!" the county magistrate's wife ordered loudly, "Bring them all back to the county government office."
This is not only to gain fame, but also to offend Yunshui County Magistrate, and to stand up for Gao Yamen.
Xu Mo's expression changed and he was preparing new words.
A sudden voice appeared, "Stop."
At some point, a bearded man in his forties appeared in the sedan that landed. He was tall and expressionless. He first stared at Pang Pangshan, and then looked at the county magistrate's wife, "Don't play around with a few children."
He even described "catching people on the street" as "joking."
These big shots really know how to reduce big things to trivial matters.
Xu Mo was indignant in his heart, but he breathed a sigh of relief.
The county magistrate's wife was a tough guy, and she didn't care about her reputation or offending the Yunshui County Magistrate. Fortunately, the Xieyang County Magistrate was afraid of this and drove away the knife-wielding government officials.
"Sir." The expression of the county magistrate's wife changed, "They harmed Hu'er."
Xieyang County Magistrate's expression remained unchanged, "Since it was judged by Yunshui County Magistrate, it must be reasonable and well-founded. Madam, please don't talk nonsense."
After saying that, he looked at the two maids again and said, "Help Madam back to the county office."
The maid bowed her head and responded, dragging the reluctant county magistrate's wife back to her home.
A crisis was resolved.
Before Jiang Sheng could breathe a sigh of relief, the Xieyang County magistrate turned his attention to Pang Pangshan again, and said with a half-smile, "Welcome Mr. Pang to come and play in Xieyang County."
Then Shi Shiran left.
The government officials holding swords then retreated, and the people watching the excitement dispersed.
Jiang Sheng turned around, gestured with his thumb to Pang Pangshan, and praised him generously, "Brother Dashan, your performance is even better than I thought."
It is not easy for a beggar to see the magistrate and his wife straighten their backs.
Not to mention that "hmm", it was extremely cold and arrogant. In Jiang Sheng's heart, he was infinitely close to your noble master.
Pang Pangshan smiled shyly and said nothing.
Suddenly a gust of wind came, and his buttocks trembled, not daring to mention the coldness under his crotch.
With the departure of the magistrate and his wife, the streets became lively again.
The merchants were hanging up the various lanterns they had prepared, including paper ones and embroidered cloth ones. Jiang Sheng was dazzled by what he saw.
At this moment she was staring at a little rabbit lantern and couldn't move her eyes away.
Zheng Ruqian encouraged her, "If you like it, buy it. It's not expensive."
Jiang Sheng looked at it for a long time and shook his head.
"Why don't you buy it?" Zheng Ruqian asked her, "We have money, don't worry, just buy it if you like it."
Jiang Sheng rolled her eyes at him, "I have lived for eight years before I have the opportunity to buy my first lantern. Of course I have to choose a good-looking one. How can a mere rabbit lantern satisfy me?"
Zheng Ruqian, "..."
Okay, that makes sense.
The two of them continued to pick with great interest and did not see the darkened face of the rabbit lamp boss at all.
Fang Heng and Wen Zhiyun in the middle expressed their embarrassment and tried to pass by as expressionlessly as possible.
The remaining ones, Chang Yan and Xu Mo, looked indifferent and like normal people.
"Xiao Wu thinks that Magistrate Xieyang believes that Pang Pangshan is related to Magistrate Pang?" Xu Mo pondered for a long time, but couldn't help but ask.
Chang Yan was silent for a moment, "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, as long as he is afraid, that's fine."
But no one can tell how long it will last.
"It seems that I have to arrange for my second brother to go to Yunshui County tomorrow. It's best to give Magistrate Pang some local specialties." Zhang Yanqu raised his right hand and tapped lightly on the back of his left hand, "Just in case. , Big brother can also prepare to have a childbirth test."
In the Dayu Dynasty, scholars were exempted from kneeling in the hall and were exempted from double tax. They were respected even in Xieyang County.
Because Tong Sheng was only a reserve scholar, he did not receive as many preferential treatment as a scholar.
But if he is the head of the case, he is an outstanding child, and he is a certain future scholar, and the weight of his status is completely different.
Magistrate Pang's tiger skin can only be pulled for a while, and sooner or later the skin will be exposed.
But no one can despise the fame he gained from taking the exam.
The night is getting darker, merchants light lanterns, and the streets give off a hazy glow.
Zheng Ruqian pulled Jiang Sheng to laugh and play, and Wen Zhiyun also pulled Fang Heng to look at the lantern.
Chang Yan and Xu Mo looked at each other, and their hearts to protect these people became stronger.
Suddenly, Jiang Sheng stopped in front of a large revolving lantern.
There are three questions written on it.
The first course is abacus, the second course is pairs, and the third course is articles.
Because it is so difficult, hundreds of people have stopped in front of me, holding their chins and scratching their ears, puzzled.
