Chapter 66: Zhou Qiaoqian moves troops
When Wu Liang saw that the two agreed, he ordered 200 soldiers to stay at the school with Guan Peng to prevent the bandits from Huangfeng Village from snatching Ning Chong and others. He personally led the remaining 300 soldiers and ran to the Wu Mansion for reinforcements.
"Since you two have figured out that these people are bandits, why didn't you tell them earlier?" Before leaving, Wu Liang couldn't help but asked Duan Zhenghua with some complaints.
Duan Zhenghua laughed dumbly, pointed at Ning Chong and others on the ground and said, "I told you before that these people are bandits, would you believe it?"
Wu Liang was stunned when he heard this.
"Of course I don't believe it. You're a boy with no hair on your head, and you said bandits have entered the city when we met. I know where you came from!" When Wu Liang thought about it, he felt relieved.
Xunyang Mansion Office.
As soon as Zhou Qiaoqian ran up the steps of the Yamen, a police officer came to greet her.
"Little lady, why are you here at the Yamen?"
"Brother Agent, I want to see Mr. Futai, please let me know." Zhou Qiaoqian saluted the agent.
"Little lady, Mr. Futai is not that easy to see. If you have nothing else to do, please leave quickly." The policeman couldn't help but smile when he saw Zhou Qiaoqian asking to see the highest executive of Xunyang Mansion, and waved to Zhou Qiaoqian. Leave quickly.
Zhou Qiaoqian saw that the policeman was unwilling to report the matter, so she quickly begged: "Brother, the policeman, I really have something urgent to see Mr. Futai. Please report it to me, and say that the daughter of my old friend Zhou Zhenhai is asking for a meeting."
When the police officer saw that Zhou Qiaoqian said she was the daughter of Master Futai's old friend, he quickly asked politely: "My dear lady, you said you are the daughter of Mr. Futai's old friend. Do you have a token?"
"Token? I didn't bring it..." Zhou Qiaoqian looked embarrassed and whispered.
When the police officer saw that Zhou Qiaoqian had no token, he immediately felt that he had been teased by Zhou Qiaoqian. Fortunately, the police officer saw that Zhou Qiaoqian was pretty and cute, and she was well-dressed and well-spoken. He did not get angry on the spot, but was a little unhappy and said: "Little lady, I can't do it without a token." Notified.”
"Brother, the policeman, I really have something urgent to ask Mr. Futai. People's lives are at stake. If it's too late, it will be too late." Zhou Qiaoqian became anxious when she saw that the policeman was unwilling to report the matter.
At this time, a fat policeman with a sinister face walked over and waved impatiently: "Go! Go! Go! Is the government office also a place for fun? If you continue to mess around, do you want to get slapped?"
The previous police officer had a gentler temper and explained: "Master Futai has many things to do every day. If someone tells me that he is an old friend of Master Futai, and Master Futai wants to meet him, then does Master Futai still have to work all day long? "
Zhou Qiaoqian thought about it. As the saying goes, "The yamen is open, so don't come in if you have reason or no money." In a country with a strict hierarchy like Dayan, government offices have always been a place where ordinary people are discouraged. As the highest governing official of a province, the prefect is indeed not something that ordinary people can meet with just a few words.
But Xi Xingchen went to the Wu Mansion alone, waiting for her to move in reinforcements; if she couldn't move in reinforcements, the consequences would be disastrous.
When Zhou Qiaoqian was in a hurry, she suddenly saw the injustice drum next to the Yamen, and her eyes couldn't help but light up.
"Dong! Dong! Dong..." Zhou Qiaoqian quickly ran to the injustice drum, picked up the drumstick on the drum stand, and banged it with all her strength.
"Young lady, you are in big trouble now!" The detective pointed at Zhou Qiaoqian's nose angrily, gritted his teeth, shook his head, sighed, and turned around to enter the Yamen lobby.
When Zhou Qiaoqian was beating the grievance drum, Shan Mingyuan, the magistrate of Xunyang, was sitting on the chair of the imperial master, leisurely tasting the fine hair tip made by his favorite little daughter Shan Jin. Hearing the sound of the drum, he hurried to the court.
"Shengtang——"
"mighty--"
Forty government officials lined up on both sides of the courtroom, beating the ground with water and fire sticks in neat rows. The courtroom suddenly exuded a chilling and majestic air, which was breathtaking.
The thin and delicate Zhou Qiaoqian knelt between two rows of menacing government officials. You Fa was obviously lonely and helpless. But after all, she is the daughter of Dongmo Chief Zhou Zhenbang. She has traveled around the country with Zhou Zhenbang since she was a child. She has seen many dignitaries and big events, so although she is a little frightened in court, she is still calm.
"Who is in the hall and why are you beating the drum?" Shan Mingyuan slapped the tree and shouted.
"Uncle Wang, I am Zhou Qiaoqian! Don't you recognize me?" Zhou Qiaoqian raised her head, cleared her throat, and said boldly.
"Zhou Qiaoqian? Are you Zhou Zhenbang's daughter?" Shan Mingyuan's expression changed slightly when he heard this.
"Yes, my father and I came to wish you a happy birthday the year before last!" Zhou Qiaoqian said quickly when she saw that Shan Mingyuan remembered her.
As soon as Zhou Qiaoqian finished speaking, a girl in a red skirt ran out from behind the screen, pulled Zhou Qiaoqian up and said happily: "Sister Qian, it is indeed you."
The girl in red is Shan Mingyuan's youngest daughter Shan Jin. Shan Mingyuan got a daughter in his later years and was very fond of Shan Jin. In addition, Shan Jin is smart and sweet, so she coaxes Shan Mingyuan to the ground every day. With a bright smile on his face, Shan Ming always carries this happy treasure with him wherever he goes.
This Shan Jin is also quite interesting. He doesn't like the female celebrities who are popular among women nowadays, but he likes to play with guns and sticks. He especially likes to hide behind the screen and eavesdrop when Shan Mingyuan is interrogating the case.
Every time after Shan Mingyuan resigned, Shan Jin would pester Shan Mingyuan to discuss the case, and he would come up with many different opinions.
Shan Mingyuan even once solved an unsolved case that had not been solved for a long time based on Shan Jin's analysis. From then on, Shan Mingyuan let her hide behind the courtroom and listen to his trial.
"How can we act nonsense in the court?" Shan Mingyuan's daughter ran out from the back of the court. In order to show the majesty of the master of the palace, she pretended to have a straight face and blew her beard deliberately.
In fact, there was no need for Shan Mingyuan to be pretentious. No one in the yamen knew that the daughter of Mr. Futai liked to hide behind a screen to hear cases.
Shan Jin turned around and stuck out his tongue at the prefect, then turned around and asked Zhou Qiaoqian with concern: "Sister Qian, what are you doing here?"
"Am I here to bring reinforcements to Uncle Wang?" Zhou Qiaoqian said quickly.
"Reinforcement? What happened to your father?" Although Shan Mingyuan is a local official, his biggest hobby is to make friends with celebrities all over the world. A world-famous Dongmo chief like Zhou Zhenbang is naturally his guest. Therefore, Shan Ming had a vision that Zhou Qiaoqian was here to bring reinforcements to him, and his first reaction was that Zhou Zhenbang was in trouble.
"My dad is fine, that's it, Uncle Wang..." Zhou Qiaoqian told the story of Xi Xingchen's separation.
"The bandits from Huangfeng Village have entered the city." Shan Mingyuan's expression changed greatly when he heard this. You must know that the bandits in Xunyang have been making trouble in recent years, and this is the first time they have entered the city.
"Yes, the bandits in Huangfeng Village should be divided into two groups, one group seizes the generals in the school field, and the other group attacks the Wu Mansion and controls the Wu County Magistrate. My senior brother Xi Xingchen, who is the leader of the Mo family, has rushed to the Wu Mansion to rescue . But my senior brother is alone and weak. I was afraid that he might make a mistake, so I rushed to the government office to ask for your help." Zhou Qiaoqian said eagerly.
