Capt. Qi winked at the constable behind him, and only waited for Hong Xifei to refuse before taking action.
Magistrate Tian had already given instructions when he came here before, to try to anger the other party so that he could add another charge.
But when he saw Hong Xifei being distracted for a moment, he lost the opportunity.
"Okay, let's go!"
Who knows, Hong Xifei walked out very simply and closed the door of Xiancao Hall.
Hey, why doesn't this woman act according to common sense?
Qi Captou had no reason to find trouble, so he had no choice but to lead the crowd and walk towards the Changle County Yamen surrounded by Hong Xifei.
Hong Xifei's face was calm, her red skirt was fluttering, and her steps were light. The scene didn't look like she was about to go to court, but rather like the police officers accompanying the rich lady to go shopping.
Changshoufang is close to the West Market, and there are a lot of people around. When they see this group of policemen walking towards the county government office around a pretty little lady, a group of people who like to watch the excitement immediately follow them.
Qi Baotou took a few steps and realized that the style of painting seemed a bit wrong. He coughed lightly and shouted loudly: "The Changle County Yamen are holding people, and those who have nothing to do with it should be dispersed."
He didn't say anything but just paid it back. When he heard that such a delicate little lady had committed the crime, the people immediately gathered around.
"What could such a delicate girl do?"
"Even if such a beautiful girl makes a mistake, it must be the other person's fault."
"Girl, if there is any grievance, just shout it out. I heard that there is a lawyer in the West City who specializes in redressing people's grievances."
...
Capt. Qi was confused, so he had no choice but to lead the convoy on his way, leaving the people behind him to be dealt with by the Caogang people.
After all, the members of the Cao Gang have a reputation for being vicious, and most people would still be frightened when they meet them.
Everyone rushed to the Changle County Government Office. Magistrate Tian, wearing a black gauze hat and a blue official uniform embroidered with white pheasants, was already sitting on the stage and waiting for a long time.
"Why is there only one woman?"
"How can that person be safe?"
The magistrate of Tian County asked questions knowingly.
"According to this woman's confession, the prisoner He Ping'an is still on duty at the Eternal Life Palace and is not at home."
Qi Bao came forward and reported: "I will send someone to get him now."
"It doesn't matter. Since I'm not here, let's ask this woman first."
"You wait a mile outside the Palace of Eternal Life, and then go get the person when he is alone after he comes out."
Tianzhi County's wishful thinking is ringing.
Although he agreed to help that person and took over the Caobang case, he would not send anyone to the Palace of Eternal Life to get him.
Taking someone outside the Eternal Life Palace was just He Ping'an's personal matter.
But if you go to the Palace of Eternal Life to fetch people, you will not give the Palace of Eternal Life face.
Don't let people not get it by then, but you have to go in and save people.
The commander of the Eternal Life Palace is something that ordinary people cannot afford to offend.
Once the charges are confirmed, even the commander will not say anything else.
As long as the Eternal Life Palace deletes that person from the list in advance, it will not be considered as someone from the Eternal Life Palace committing the crime.
Everyone is happy.
"I obey my orders."
Captain Qi took the order and prepared to take several agents to wait outside the Palace of Eternal Life.
At this moment, a clear male voice sounded from the crowd of onlookers.
"You don't have to go, I'll come by myself."
A young official in green clothes walked out of the crowd of onlookers and walked slowly into the hall.
Qi Baotou looked surprised and looked at the people in the Caogang side. When he saw one of them nodding secretly, he suddenly understood.
"Report to your lord, this person is He Ping'an."
There was a trace of doubt on Magistrate Tian's face. This is the first time I encountered this situation. I didn't send anyone to get you, but you took the initiative to come to my door.
When he saw that there were no other people from the Eternal Life Palace behind He Pingan, he felt much more at ease.
It must be that this kid was originally a prisoner, and was ostracized by the people in the Changsheng Palace, and he has not yet climbed up to any thighs.
As soon as he heard that something happened to the little lady at home, he came over impatiently.
"Snapped!"
He was stunned and shouted angrily: "Who is in the audience?"
He Ping'an glanced at Magistrate Tian, then glanced at the officials sitting in the lobby, but found no other people waiting.
Then he reached out with his spiritual consciousness, and sure enough he found an old man in a purple robe sitting in the back hall of the county government office. It was Qian Yanqing.
"I'm here, He Ping'an, a junior official in the Herbology Department of the Medicine Department of the Palace of Eternal Life."
"When I heard that the Lords had summoned me, I took leave and hurried over."
"I wonder what you want me to do for you?"
He stood in the hall and talked, his tone was natural and calm, without any panic at all, but gave people a condescending feeling.
'Hey!'
Magistrate Tian's expression changed. Why did his tone sound so weird? Who among us is interrogating whom?
No, I have to find my home court.
He slapped the gavel again and shouted: "Bold!"
"How can a criminal be safe? Someone accused you of occupying a house and injuring many people. Do you know your guilt?"
After hearing this, He Pingan's face showed no emotion, even with a hint of teasing: "Oh, I wonder who sued me?"
"Can you bring it up and have a look?"
Tian Zhixian's eyes narrowed. If he brought people here, he would follow He Ping'an's rhythm.
I am a high-ranking official of the fifth rank, magistrate of Changle County, and governs half of the city of Xuanyang, Kyoto. How can I do whatever you say?
You want me to take someone with you, but I won’t!
Tian Zhixian looked dumbfounded: "He Ping'an, be serious, I'll ask a question, and you answer."
"If you continue to talk nonsense and make fun of the court, don't blame me for punishing you."
When He Pingan heard this, his expression suddenly became solemn: "Yes, sir."
"You can ask, and I'll tell you everything you know!"
Tian Zhixian nodded with satisfaction and finally found his place.
"Let me ask you, where were you on the seventh day of August?"
"The bottom one is naturally the top one."
"I'm asking you after you're on duty!"
"After my shift... of course I go home!"
He Ping'an asked strangely: "Is it possible that Mr. Tian will go to Lichun Courtyard to sit down instead of going home?"
"Is there any girl you know that I can introduce to you?"
The people watching in the audience burst into laughter, and the solemn atmosphere that had just been created in the courtroom was completely destroyed by He Pingan.
Even the three-class yamen servants, the Caobang people, and the clerks in the hall who were standing at the bottom couldn't help laughing, and quickly covered their mouths for fear of laughing out loud.
Hong Xifei stood next to He Ping'an, her branches trembling with laughter, and her exquisite curves made everyone lose their minds again.
"quiet!"
Tian Zhixian's face was red, and he was furious. The hand holding the order was trembling, and he finally threw it down the hall: "I will take him down and beat him forty times!"
"yes!"
Qi Captou suppressed his laughter and stepped forward as ordered, about to capture He Ping'an.
At this time, someone suddenly walked out of the crowd and shouted: "Wait!"
"Who are you!"
Captain Qi turned around, ready to deal with this shameless man first.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned his head, his face turned pale and his voice became silent.
The man behind him, dressed in the uniform of the Immortal Palace's governor, is Qin Zhongxi.
Behind him was Yang Qing, the head of the grass department.
Even the magistrate of Tian County hurriedly came to welcome him: "I don't know that Mr. Qin has arrived, but I am sorry for the delay in welcoming him from a distance. I hope you can forgive me."
Qin Zhongxi looked cold and stern, and said mockingly: "Master Tian even dares to capture and beat up people from my Changsheng Palace. How dare Qin let Master Tian come out to greet me."
Magistrate Tian's expression changed, and he smiled awkwardly: "It must be a misunderstanding."
But he couldn't figure out why He Ping'an couldn't go to the Changsheng Palace for more than ten days, and why he hugged Qin Zhongxi, the governor of the town.
Qin Zhongxi quickly found a place to sit down in the lobby and said, "Don't worry about County Magistrate Tian. Qin is just here to take a look. You can do whatever you want to do."
"As long as you don't give in to defeat, that's fine."
Tian Zhixian's thoughts changed rapidly. Although Qin Zhongxi said it lightly, the threat in his words was already obvious.
It was no longer possible to hit the board. His heart moved, and a message from the big seal in his hand was sent to the back hall.
Qian Yanqing's expression changed when he received the summons. Although Qin Zhongxi was only a third-grade martial artist, he was a high-ranking member of the Changsheng Palace. Even if he went out, he would not be able to overwhelm others with his strength.
First, he sent a reply to Tianzhi County and asked him to interrogate him normally. As long as all the witnesses and material evidence were present, Qin Zhongxi would not be able to find any tricks.
If he uses his power to suppress others, it won't be too late for him to show up.
Then he summoned another person who was cooperating, and it was most appropriate to ask someone from the government to come forward.
After receiving the reply, the magistrate of Tian County felt certain in his heart and said loudly: "The witness Yue Laosan and others are waiting!"
