The officers and soldiers behind her immediately grabbed her and pressed her to the ground. When the few strong men who were chasing her behind her saw this, they all retreated and ran away.
"what happened?"
A local official on the side was so frightened that he quickly stood up and said: "Quick! Drive this female assassin out. Don't disturb the emperor and the imperial concubine."
But the girl looked so weak and weak, crying so hard that she was out of breath, and still had injuries on her body. She didn't look like an assassin at all.
But the official who wanted to drive the little girl out had a fat head, big ears, and sly eyes. He was not a good person at first glance.
"Wait!"
Obviously, Emperor Xuanwu and Jiang Xinyue had the same idea.
Just when the guards were about to pull the girl away, he stopped her and stared at her with oppressive eyes: "Do you know that if you rush into the imperial chariot without any reason, your head will be chopped off?"
"The civilian girl did not stop the driver for no reason!"
The girl struggled to break away from the guard's grasp, wiped the tears and dirt on her face, revealing a face full of pure water.
She acted like a lady, and bowed to the emperor and Jiang Xinyue: "The daughter of the people, the eldest daughter of Qin Zhigu, the richest man in Guiyang, a month ago because the emperor's chariot was going to pass through Guiyang, the county magistrate used this name to come to the A banquet was held in the mansion, and wealthy businessmen from the city were invited to attend. The daughter of the common people went to the county magistrate's mansion with her father, mother and sister, but when she came out again, the daughter of the common man...sister, she..."
Having said this, she looked fiercely at the official who had just called her a "female assassin". Her fingers pointing at the official were trembling out of hatred: "The civilian girl's sister was forcibly insulted by him and thrown out of the county magistrate's house naked. , my father and mother wanted justice for their sister, but he falsely accused him of seducing him, and sent the father and mother of the common girl to prison."
She cried uncontrollably: "A civilian girl wanted to seek justice for her sister, brother, and father, but her sister couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide by hanging herself from a beam at home. Her parents also died tragically in prison for unknown reasons. The county magistrate refused to conduct an autopsy and insisted My father and mother were angry to death by my sister. The daughter of the people was wronged. The daughter of the people was really wronged to do what she did today. Please make the decision for the daughter of the people!"
"This is too tragic. The whole family is dead, and she is the only one left."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's so miserable. The county magistrate looks so ugly, and he dares to say that Miss Qin seduced him. Who does he think he is? She is so cute, and the beautiful young lady with a lot of money has to destroy her reputation and commit herself to someone else. he?"
"That's right! He probably killed Miss Qin's parents as well. Could it be that he coveted the Qin family's wealth and deliberately killed Master Qin's family..."
"Yeah! He doesn't look like a good person."
Under the rule of Emperor Xuanwu, such tragic things still happened. He had to order everyone to rest where they were, and ordered people to detain the Guiyang County Magistrate, and then asked Wang Dequan to go with dozens of guards to investigate. The truth of the matter.
Such a big thing must not be hidden. I'm afraid that the entire Guiyang people know what the county magistrate has done, but they just dare to be angry and dare not speak out.
Jiang Xinyue grabbed Wang Dequan and whispered a few instructions in his ear. Wang Dequan looked at her in slight surprise and nodded quickly.
"What did Yue'er and Wang Dequan say?"
The emperor did not let Wang Dequan take Miss Qin away, but Wang Dequan still went over to help her up and let her lead the way.
Jiang Xinyue sighed, her heart heavy: "I'm just afraid that the people are worried about the protection of the officials and won't tell the truth, so I asked Wang Dequan to take the girl from the Qin family with him, beating gongs and drums along the way to tell the people that the county magistrate has been sacked, so that they can have something to do." Whatever grievances you have, just report them, and the Emperor will personally seek justice for them."
In this way, it not only perfectly solved the problem of people's distrust of the government, but also allowed Emperor Xuanwu to gain a wave of reputation among the people.
The Guiyang County Magistrate knelt on the ground with a plop. He never dreamed that Qin Ruofang would run out of the county government office.
It took a long time to wait for the results of the investigation. The Ministry of Internal Affairs had already arranged for the rest of the people to unload the things from the carriage and load them onto the ship.
There were also some servants of the palace who were waiting on the boat, and they all got on the boat first.
The only people left on the shore were the officials and their families, who probably didn’t want to miss such a wonderful show!
Tang Shiliang brought two chairs, and Emperor Xuanwu helped Jiang Xinyue sit down. Regardless of the reaction of the concubines in the harem, he fanned her and said, "If you feel hot, you can go back to the cabin. I will come back after I have taken care of it." "
Jiang Xinyue shook her head: "I'm not hot, I want to stay with the emperor."
She couldn't let that fat-headed and big-eared magistrate, who was so cowardly and careless about human life, leave here alive.
About an hour later, Wang Dequan led his people back.
But this time Miss Qin was not alone. Behind them, there were dozens of people wiping their tears.
Wang Dequan was calm when he left, but angry when he came back. He looked at the county magistrate with disgust and hatred.
"Your Majesty, that dog official is not a human being! Last year, they forcibly expropriated my family's land without paying a penny. They also broke one of my son's legs. My son is now at home every day and is depressed. He will be ruined for the rest of his life. ”
"The year before last, he asked the officers and soldiers to take my wife into the county magistrate's house, took possession of her body, and threw her on the street. My wife was pregnant with that dog official's child. After he found out, he hired a quack doctor to come to my house and feed her He gave my daughter-in-law a bowl of abortion pills, which resulted in the death of two of my daughters-in-law."
"We poor students took the provincial examination, and no matter how amazing our talents were, we always failed. It was he who accepted bribes and gave our examination papers to dandies from rich families. A classmate had reported this before, but he was punished in the end. The beating was so severe that the palm of his right hand was shattered and fractured, and the doctor said he would never be able to hold a pen again."
"Officials and officials are protecting each other. We have no way to call for help. Fortunately, the emperor is passing through here today. We hope that the emperor will make the decision for us."
"Everything the eldest daughter of the Qin family said is true. Although Mr. Qin and his wife have a fortune, they are not unscrupulous businessmen. Which poor person in Guiyang has not received porridge from the Qin family? Even the scholars who have been tortured by dog officials have We have all received help from Mr. Qin, and even if we and other scholars are punished today, we still have to seek an explanation for the Qin family."
"Yes! Mr. Qin and his wife are kind and kind, and they cannot die in vain."
…
Just these few people have suffered huge grievances, let alone more than a dozen people.
There are still many people who dare not come because they are afraid of losing their lives.
Emperor Xuanwu looked at the governor of Qinzhou with a heavy gaze, and the anger rolling in his eyes made the governor, who was over fifty years old, tremble.
Pei Zhongshu stood behind the emperor and winked at the governor crazily. The governor knelt down next to Magistrate Dog and said, "Your Majesty, I really don't know that there is such a moth in Guiyang County. It must be in the yamen of my government." There's a traitor out there, why don't you hide it and report it!"
