"What are you all doing?"
Zhao Ping said speechlessly: "I just went to the county government to clarify the facts and file a lawsuit in court."
"We haven't done anything to disobey Dawei's laws, so Cao Qing is completely making false accusations."
"As long as you explain it clearly, it'll be fine."
"You can do whatever you need to do, don't worry about me."
"no."
Liu Mengru immediately stood up and retorted, "Ms. sir, if you really want to go to the county government, you must take me with you."
"If something happens, I can take care of it."
"Sister-in-law, let Huzi follow."
Xia Quan also stood up and said.
Liu Mengru glanced at Li Hu.
I was extremely puzzled that I was a dignified general, but I couldn't defeat Li Hu, a fool.
As long as Li Hu uses Tai Chi, he can knock her down in a few strokes.
The key to Tai Chi was taught by Zhao Ping, and everyone followed suit, but they couldn't grasp the essence of it.
Only Li Hu's strength increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When dealing with Ma Jiu and the others, Li Hu could easily fight against four adults by himself.
Now it's time to sweep them all.
His presence is enough to protect my husband's safety.
But Liu Mengru still warned: "Huzi, if my husband-in-law has any problems, I will only ask you."
"Do not worry."
Li Hu slapped his chest loudly, "If you want Brother Ping's life, you have to step over my body."
Although he is confused, he can still tell clearly who is good to him.
Zhao Ping not only provided him with three meals a day, but also taught him martial arts. He was closer to him than his own parents.
Li Hu already regards Zhao Ping as his reborn parent in his heart.
Never allow others to touch you.
Even if it means risking one's life.
Zhao Ping naturally had no objections. Li Hu was his personal bodyguard.
Nowadays, in troubled times again, Zhao Ping takes him with him wherever he goes.
Xia Quan was still worried and asked them both to take Zhuge Liannu with them.
If something really happened, Zhuge Liannu could defend himself for a moment or three.
In this way, Zhao Ping left with Li Hu.
The others were just about to disperse when they were stopped by Xia Quan.
"Don't even leave."
"Brother Ping not only solved the plague, but also purchased the sprouted grain from the people of Yun'an County at a fair price. It can be said that he is a hero of our Yun'an County."
"Under such circumstances, that dog magistrate Huang Fengnian actually accepted Cao Qing's petition. I'm afraid there is something hidden."
"What's the secret?"
Liu Mengru asked.
"If I'm not wrong, he wanted to get some silver out of Mr.'s hand."
Xia Quan said: "If it is handled properly, sir, it may be fine."
"But if you are not careful, sir, you may be in jail."
"We cannot sit idly by."
"Magistrate Dog, I'm going to smash his head to pieces right now."
Liu Mengru was about to go out with a stick.
Xia Quan hurriedly stopped her, "Sister-in-law, don't be impulsive."
"The matter has not yet been decided. If you rushed to the county government so recklessly, you are a real rebel."
"Not only will it fail to save Brother Ping, but it will also implicate Brother Ping in his disloyalty and injustice."
"what is it now?"
Liu Mengru was extremely anxious.
"Brother Meng, you can ride a horse."
Xia Quan said to Gao Meng, "Ride to the county seat now and look for Tian Fuhai."
"Just say that Brother Ping has been arrested and imprisoned, please ask Mr. Tian to rescue him."
"yes."
Gao Meng took the order and left.
Xia Quan said to Yun Man and Liu Muyun again: "Yun Man, Mu Yun, you two take Zhuge Liannu and go to Cao's house in the county."
"Control Cao's family members, invite them to Qian's Mansion, coerce Cao Qing, and make him retreat."
"yes."
Yun Man and Liu Muyun stepped out one after another and took the guys to carry out the mission.
"The rest of the people are all equipped with Zhuge Liannu."
Xia Quan looked around and said, "I'm going to find Brother Zhixue now and ask him to inquire about news in the county."
"Once they want to put Brother Ping in jail, we will be ready to rob the prison and rebel against him."
"He dares?"
Liu Mengru waved her stick and said sternly: "If that dog magistrate dares to put my husband in prison, I, the general, will lead his troops to destroy the entire county."
The momentum suddenly spread, making the people around him shudder.
Xia Quan was a little stunned.
But he soon felt relieved, but kept smiling bitterly in his heart.
Brother Ping really likes to mess around.
It was okay to give Gao Meng, who had no achievements, the title of captain of thousands, but he even made his wife a general.
Not to mention, he really has the aura of a general.
Xia Quan didn't think much about it and started busy after making arrangements.
When he turned around, he found that Qian Liu was still carrying the acacia wine, and couldn't help but said, "Liuzi, what are you doing?"
"Move the wine."
Qian Liu said: "I'm not good at fighting, but I can keep money."
"This acacia wine is all Brother Ping's hard work. Brother Ping relies on them to make money for other things."
"I buried them in the ground so they wouldn't be destroyed."
"When has it been? You still care about that acacia wine?"
Xia Quan said speechlessly.
"It's not wine, it's life."
Qian Liu argued: "With them, Brother Ping can build new houses and set up factories."
"With them, we can have three meals a day, and we can have enough to eat, including meat."
"Once we really break out of jail, we will run for our lives."
"Sell the acacia wine and exchange for some money. You can also use it as a means of transportation. Otherwise, why don't you drink the northwest wind on the way?"
"It's true."
Xia Quan apologized: "I didn't think well and I wrongly blamed you."
"It's okay, let's dig a hole and bury the bar quickly."
Qian Liu doesn't care.
"No need to dig a hole, just put it directly in the bedroom."
Liu Mengru said: "My husband-in-law set a trap in the bedroom. If he breaks in, everyone will die."
"Much safer than being buried underground."
Xia Quan didn't think much about it. After what happened to Ma Jiu, Brother Ping put his own safety first and it was understandable that he set up a trap in the bedroom.
Little did he know that Zhao Ping was guarding against him.
Several people began to help Qian Liu move all the acacia wine to the bedroom.
At this time, Zhao Ping had followed Zhang He to the county government.
The place was crowded with people.
The plague was completely lifted and the food harvest was completed. People had nothing to do and were free again.
I often go to the county town to watch the excitement.
Especially in the county government, everyone wants to see the county magistrate handle cases, deal with neighborhood disputes, etc.
Therefore, Huang Fengnian attracted many people as soon as he opened the church.
But everyone waited for a long time, but did not find that the county magistrate had ascended to the court.
Each one of them started to get a little impatient and asked: "What's going on? What time is it now? Why haven't you been raised to the throne yet?"
"Didn't anyone come to complain today?"
"It shouldn't be. Widow Wang in our village lost a chicken yesterday and scolded the whole village six times. She went to the county town to file a complaint early this morning. Why didn't she see her?"
"There are also people in our village who want to file a lawsuit. It seems that they harvested the wrong grain and want to ask the county magistrate to cut it off."
"Yes, there are so many people eager to seek judgment from the county magistrate. Why hasn't the county magistrate been promoted to court yet? What is he waiting for?"
What are you waiting for?
No one gave an explanation.
The yamen servants stood silently on both sides, holding water and fire sticks.
Huang Fengnian sat in front of the stage, sipping tea from time to time, looking quite leisurely.
On the contrary, the county magistrate was a little restless.
Look around from time to time and sigh occasionally.
"The prisoner has arrived!"
Just when everyone was waiting impatiently, Zhang He's voice came.
Everyone spread out through a passage, and Zhang He followed Zhao Ping into the front of the hall.
Huang Fengnian was stunned and shouted: "Zhao Ping, do you know your guilt?"
"Mr. Zhao? It's actually Mr. Zhao?! What did he commit? Why was he escorted here?"
"Who knows?"
"Let's listen first."
"What are you listening to? Mr. Zhao is such a good person. Even if he is guilty, we cannot try him."
"That is, without Mr. Zhao, the entire Yun'an County would have been tortured to death by the plague. He not only cured the plague, but also gave free decoctions. He is our savior."
"Nothing can be done today that will make the county magistrate use torture. Otherwise, we will make a big fuss in court."
"Yes, make a big fuss in court."
The people surrounding him were all filled with indignation and were about to rush to the front of the hall.
"quiet!"
Huang Fengnian said sternly: "I also know that Mr. Zhao is a great hero of our Yun'an County, but can a hero violate the laws of Dawei?"
"As a county magistrate, I must not do anything for personal gain and bend the law."
"If you make a fuss, I will never tolerate it."
"Come here, keep these unruly people out of the hall. Anyone who dares to take a step forward will be punished with thirty sticks."
"After the battle, if you still don't listen, you will be thrown into prison, assassinated and sent to the army."
"yes."
Zhang He led a group of government officials and drove the people out of the court.
Huang Fengnian was promoted to court.
As the government officials shouted "mighty", Huang Fengnian patted the gavel again and asked: "Zhao Ping, why don't you explain all the crimes you committed?"
"Do you still want me to torture you?"
"Master County Magistrate, may I ask what crime I have committed?"
Zhao Ping asked.
"snort!"
Huang Fengnian snorted coldly, picked up a piece of paper and said: "This paper is written clearly."
"You have committed several crimes."
"First, there is no official document, and private textile factories and breweries are opened."
"Second, he is not a medical officer, but he practices medicine and treats diseases."
"Thirdly, building a house privately is larger than the county house. This is a crime committed by the following and should be punished."
"Fourth, create a plague."
"Several crimes will be punished at the same time. Just wait and be executed on another day."
"And you have to hang your head above the city gate as a warning to others."
