Chen Qiushui thanked Princess Jianwen, and then went to inquire about some news.

This was very soon, in the evening, there were rumors in the county town that Long Jiansheng was killed, everyone said that Long Jiansheng was such a good person, and he usually did not offend people, how could he be killed outside the city for no reason.

Chen Qiushui didn't care, but in the midst of everyone's discussion, Chen Qiushui knew some interesting news.

The next morning, the catcher and the others arrived here, because the people of the Four Holy Divisions had secretly greeted each other, although this catcher didn't know what Chen Qiushui's origin was, but he thought that if the Four Holy Divisions could come forward to say hello, it must be a big deal, so he respectfully saluted Chen Qiushui and said, "This girl, my husband is invited." ”

Seeing that the catcher was like this, Chen Qiushui naturally bowed and went to the county yamen with the catcher.

When he arrived at the yamen, the magistrate was already sitting behind the public case, and he couldn't help but be a little dissatisfied when he watched the stars and others bring Chen Qiushui in.

Zhixian looked at the arrest fast, and the catcher quickly arrived at the ear of the magistrate, and whispered to the magistrate: "Master, this woman knows martial arts, and the little ones have no choice, if they annoy her, she will have a temper attack, and she will be killed in the court, and the Xiang army will not have time to save it at that time, wouldn't it be in vain to miss your life." ”

When the magistrate heard this, he looked at his subordinates, and then at Chen Qiushui wearing a long sword, and couldn't help but say: "Be bold and make a fool of the people, enter the public court, and still don't dissolve the sword." ”

Chen Qiushui made a blessing salute to the magistrate, and then said to the magistrate: "I came to the court, and no one told the little girl, the little woman naturally didn't know, it turned out that in this court, she still had to untie the sword." ”

After Chen Qiushui finished speaking, he took off the sword and handed it to the head catcher, who respectfully took the sword, and then Chen Qiushui said to the county: "May I ask the county honor, what is the so-called matter of inviting me to come this time?" ”

"Now in the public court, you still don't kneel down and salute."

"County Zun, I'm sorry, Emperor Gao once made an oath with my ancestors that they could not worship in the public court."

Chen Qiushui also did not have the habit of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, so he directly took out the spectrum and handed it to the magistrate, who looked at the distant ancestor's line with the seal of Kang Guogong, but saw that Chen Qiushui's name was not stamped, and knew that Chen Qiushui was not a descendant, and he also despised her.

But even if it's a sideline, you can still not kneel as usual. Zhixian also shook his hand and said to Chen Qiushui, "Don't kneel." The county asked you if you invited Long Jiansheng yesterday. ”

"Yes, it was the little woman who asked Long Jian to give birth."

"So, Long Jian's life and death have nothing to do with you?"

When Chen Qiushui heard this, he asked rhetorically: "County Zun, I don't understand what you say, don't mention me as a weak woman, and besides, I, a dragon sword, have no hatred or grudge, what should I do when I kill him?" And he gave me a thousand taels of silver, so how could I kill him? ”

When the magistrate heard this, he thought for a while, and then said: "But he died in front of the pavilion you agreed on, you can't deny this, you didn't kill him, who is it?" ”

"Xianzun, I'm not a stupid person, if I really want to kill him, I will invite him to the pavilion openly. If I kill him, I won't leave this county, and I'll still be waiting for you to arrest him in the county? ”

Chen Qiushui's words were reasonable, and the magistrate was also puzzled for a while, he didn't expect it, this was indeed reasonable, but Chen Qiushui has never been able to use common sense to speculate. Looking at the embarrassed appearance of the county, Chen Qiushui continued: "And with my identity, do you have to do it yourself if you want to kill Long Jian?" I just need to go to the county government and talk to the county honorable person, this Long Jiansheng will come in and be locked up for a few days. ”

Chen Qiushui's words made the magistrate refute no, not refuted. It is true that he did not dare to refuse these noble requests, but if he did, wouldn't he be disgraced in front of everyone.

This Zhixian is a good hand at greedy ink, but in this kind of thing, he is no different from ordinary people, and he doesn't know what to do.

At this time, the county priest signaled that since ancient times, if there was no need for punishment, no one would recruit him.

The magistrate is a little embarrassed, and now there is no evidence, if he is rashly tortured, he will not be able to protect his black yarn hat.

And the county Cheng wanted to get to the truth of this matter, so he said to the surroundings: "Come on, use the punishment." ”

If it was before, catching fast was naturally a hands-on action, but now they look at the water and fire sticks in their hands, like clay puppets.

The county man shouted three times, but these people didn't move, so the county man had to say fiercely: "Okay, you pretend to be deaf and dumb, and when this matter is over, the official will let you know that it is powerful." ”

At this time, he quickly spoke: "County Cheng, this magistrate didn't speak, and we didn't dare to torture." ”

The county magistrate looked at the magistrate, and the magistrate coughed dryly and told the magistrate that if he didn't have a clue about the matter now, if he was punished, he would be said to be beaten into a trick.

The county saw that the county was like this, so he stopped talking.

At this time, Chen Qiushui saw that the situation was favorable to him, and continued: "County Cheng, I don't know if you have anything else to say? ”

Seeing Chen Qiushui's smug appearance, the county Cheng hated the root of his teeth, and said to Chen Qiushui: "Hmph, you are less proud, there will always be a day when the truth will come out, and you will still be able to laugh like when the time comes, and the official is admiring you." Sooner or later, the world will be destroyed in the hands of you nobles. ”

When the magistrate heard this, he was shocked, and he was dissatisfied with the county and said a lot, it was a trivial matter for the county to offend a Chen Qiushui, and this time he offended all the nobles, if those nobles heard this, they were unhappy, and if they wanted to trouble them, their black gauze hats would be difficult to protect.

The county also realized that he had lost his words, so he kept silent.

And Chen Qiushui opened his mouth and said: "Xiancheng, you have nothing to say, but I have something to say, the shopkeeper of this pawnshop is your brother-in-law." ”

The county didn't answer, Chen Qiushui continued: "I heard from the people outside, this person asked the county to go to the pawnshop, as a precious thing, but if the pawnshop is accepted, it is very low, the original more than 100 taels of items, into the Guiyuan pawnshop, can only be used as ten taels." ”

"So what? This one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, the two sides are consensual, this law does not say above, the pawnshop should be charged at the original price. ”

"The law doesn't say anything about this, but if it's an official of the imperial court who accepts a bribe of one hundred taels, what if it is according to the law of Dayu?"

When the county heard this, he still chose to remain silent, and at this time, Chen Qiushui continued: "Actually, I am also strange, Long Jiansheng is a small courtier, and he can take out a thousand taels of silver, don't you think something is wrong?" ”

The magistrate was still thinking about how to end this matter, and when he heard Chen Qiushui ask, he also said that it was strange, this pawnshop was not a royal mansion, even if it was an ordinary marquis, if he wanted to take out a thousand taels of silver, he still needed to hesitate, let alone this court.

At this time, Chen Qiushui opened his mouth and said: "So I suspect that this county is secretly bribing and greedy through this pawnshop, the county respect, it is better to pass this shopkeeper and inquire carefully." ”

When the county magistrate heard this, he said to the magistrate: "Master, this case should be judged first." ”

The magistrate didn't know what to do, but when he heard Chen Qiushui say this, he also thought about it, thinking that if this was really the case, then wouldn't he be kept in the dark, and he should have been his own, but he was also greedy by this county.

Thinking of this, the county magistrate immediately asked the treasurer to pass on, and he wanted to interrogate him well, if the county Cheng was really greedy for a lot of money behind his back, then he couldn't care about the old feelings, and he would vomit as much as he wanted the county to eat.

Catch fast is positive about this matter, and two quarters of an hour later, catch fast and escort the shopkeeper to come.

The shopkeeper knelt on the court, looked around blankly, and didn't know what was going on.

The magistrate felt that he had a feeling, unfolded his official authority, and scolded loudly: "This pawnshop, whether it is yours or the county's, the official has already found out, if you don't tell the truth, you will have to eat a board." ”

The shopkeeper trembled and said, "Yes, it's small." ”

"Dare to lie in front of this county, come to someone, and torture."

This board has only hit three boards, and the shopkeeper will explain everything.

It is true that the county is greedy for ink through this pawnshop, and he is just handling it, and over the years, although the surface scenery is beautiful, it is actually not as good as farming.

When Chen Qiushui heard this, he smiled and said to the magistrate: "County Zun, now that things are very clear, this county gentleman seems to be unable to continue to sit there." ”

The magistrate was angry in his heart, thinking that he still regarded this county as an honest person, but he didn't expect the county to secretly take so much behind his back.

So the magistrate asked the county to take down the county and take down the black yarn hat, as for the county cheng, the last stream, there is no complement, so he did not take off his complement.

The county Cheng knelt on the ground, the county really hated that iron could not become steel, and told how this county Cheng made him sad, how he didn't expect that this county Cheng, a person who reads the books of sages, would do such a disciplined thing.

Chen Qiushui stood there, watching the performance of the magistrate, this magistrate is not a good person, she knows it in her heart, but now she should not make too many enemies, she should be unanimous with the outside world, and first uproot King Cao's people.

The magistrate of the county counted, and the county Cheng hurriedly admitted his mistake, and then when the magistrate was about to let the county be escorted, Chen Qiushui continued: "County Zun, there is one thing that is not clear, who is this Long Jiansheng, who can actually come up with a thousand taels of silver. ”

The magistrate was also puzzled, looking at the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper was afraid of torture, and hurriedly said that no matter what happened to him, it was the county that confessed, everything was arranged by this Long Jiansheng, and Long Jiansheng used as much silver as he wanted, and he didn't have to ask more.

The magistrate was even more puzzled, could it be that this Long Jiansheng was the son of the county Cheng.
