In the lobby of Ganquan County, Hu Zhixian gave an order, and the officials on both sides immediately shouted in unison, and two or three big men in charge of the execution came over, like an eagle catching a chicken, and dragged Shen Ruo down without saying anything.

Because of Hu County's attitude, he naturally made a ruthless hand when he slapped his mouth, and in the crackling sound, Shen Ruo's cheeks were swollen high, and blood flowed from his mouth.

Shen Ruo, who eats soft and not hard, endured the pain, and the scholar lost his temper, so he didn't want to die at this time, and shouted that mediocre officials were careless about people's lives, I was wronged.

was so angry that Hu Zhixian took the case again and again, and scolded: "It's amazing! Do you think this thing is hateful? dared to act unscrupulously in front of the county hall, and I don't have the same knowledge as him. Escort the person down, hand him over within three days, and temporarily send 1,000 taels of silver to the warehouse, and take it back after he hands it over. ”

After all, not long after taking office, the stupid Hu Zhixian did not dare to blatantly handle unjust cases. Once the boss investigates afterwards, it can be inferred that he is out of anger for a moment, and locks Shen Ruo, the head of the family, in prison, the mother and daughter of the Shen family have no backbone, and they obediently give their daughter to Lu Xiong.

Unexpectedly, the neighbor who listened to the letter at the gate of the yamen ran back and told him about the interrogation, and Wu was so frightened that he cried and cried: "Where did this bad luck come from! bumped into a plague official and didn't ask the truth or falsehood, blindly listened to the nonsense surnamed Lu, and beat my husband instead. God, what do I want this life for? It's better to go to the county government to beat the drum and shout grievances, and fight with the plague official! Otherwise, I will be sorry for my husband, because of me. ”

Shen Langu, who was in tears, pulled her mother and said, "Mother, if you go over to shout injustice, even if you shout dead, the government will ignore it." Or go to the mansion to sue him, sue him for not knowing the official, and see how he can afford it? ”

"Good, good!"

At this time, Wu respected his daughter like a god, and hurriedly went to ask a certain show to write a pleading. Then he immediately handed it to the government office. Wu Shi went to the county government to visit her husband again, and told Shen Ruo that there was no need to worry, so that he could wait for the instructions in the house, and the prefect couldn't be as confused as Hu Zhixian, right?

Who knows that Wu's whereabouts are all seen in the eyes of others, the prefect's surname is Mao, and he has some friendship with Liu Yun. So Liu Yun and Lu Xiong discussed, prepared some yellow and white gifts, and Liu Yun went to visit him in person that night.

Governor Mao is also very greedy for money, since this case is handled by Ganquan County, he is willing to sell Liu Yun a favor. Be a good person and let Hu Zhixian continue the interrogation, this is called only taking advantage of it, not being harmed by it, in general, it is not taken seriously, coupled with Liu Yun's rhetoric, I think the truth is on Lu Xiong's side.

The next day, the government gave instructions, and Hu Zhixian, who was in a worried mood, was so upset that he laughed. Obviously, he helped Lu Xiong right. Doesn't that make you connected with your boss? From now on, we will be in the same boat.

The unlucky Shen Ruo was beaten in front of the hall again, Hu Zhixian was amazing, and he had to hand over the person within three days of the deadline, if he still refused. It must be investigated.

Wu's mother and daughter got the news, as if they had fallen into an ice cave, and they were expecting Zhaoxue in the house, but they unexpectedly colluded up and down. Wu Shi, who is desperate, has to fight again.

At the critical moment, Aunt Shen Lan was calm, desperately pulling her crazy mother, and said urgently: "Mother." It's not a desperate thing, we have to try to save Dad. Don't worry, since the government is ignorant of it, isn't there any other yamen complaining except for one government office? We are under the jurisdiction of Jiangdu County, and I have always heard that Chen County Ling is an upright official, and since he took office, he has done several good things to eliminate harm for the people. Because he went to the provincial capital, he ran into the hands of the plague official, and in a few days Chen County Order will be back, and his mother can go to sue again, if Chen County Order doesn't care, then our mother and daughter will fight for their lives not to go to the provincial capital to go to the capital, even if the surname Lu has the means to reach the sky, I don't believe that the Holy Shang and the Manchu Dynasty are bad people. ”

"Good!" Wu obeyed his daughter's words, and waited for the Jiangdu County Order to come back, and at the same time worried, if he didn't come back after three days, her husband would suffer again.

Fortunately, in just two days, the guys in Buzhuang heard that Chen Xianling returned to Yamen today, and the mother and daughter were overjoyed.

This Chen County Commander's name is Chen Yi, and he was admitted to the Jinshi during the Hongxi period. Because history has changed, this time it was just a county order.

Chen Yi in history is very famous, Ming Yingzong sent him to guard Shaanxi, Chen Yi solved the famine problem in Shaanxi in his own way, a total of three times before and after more than ten years to guard Shaanxi, Shaanxi people love him very much, every time he returns from the capital, it is said that the people who welcome him stretch for hundreds of miles. Chen Yi's status in the military and civilians of Shaanxi is so high that no one can match it throughout the Ming Dynasty.

Wu Shi, who was ready, then carried the pleadings and ran to stop the sedan chair to shout grievances. It is also under the rule of Jiangdu County, whether it is Hu Zhixian or Liu Yun, Lu Xiong, etc., they dare not make a mistake, and it is not a self-recruitment to send someone to intercept it.

Chen Yi suddenly saw a woman rushing out to complain about injustice, ordered to accept the pleadings, brought the person back to the yamen, asked the reason, frowned, and said: "Why is Hu Zhixian so confused? Listening to the plaintiff's words, he insisted that the daughter of the Shen family sell it, and did not ask carefully, the plaintiff Lu Xiong was suspected of bullying others, and the official could not help but ask. It's ridiculous that even Mao Fuzun is confused, the Shen family is under the rule of this county, and it should be interrogated by my yamen. ”

Chen Yi immediately ordered the clerk to write and sent the official to Ganquan County to collect the plaintiff and defendant and other witnesses, as well as the original file of the trial.

Hu Zhixian received a letter from Jiangdu County, and secretly scolded Chen County for making dogs nosy with rats, and also knew that Chen Yi's famous iron-faced selflessness was by no means comparable to Mao's Mansion, and it was not a matter if he didn't pay it. Who knew that he would come back so soon, the case happened under the rule of Jiangdu County, and it was reasonable for people to take the case.

Hu Zhixian, who had a ghost in his heart, could be described as a rat trap, for fear of delaying time and arousing the vigilance of the other party, so he had to hand over Shen Ruo and the file to the Jiangdu County officials. He hurriedly took a sedan chair to find Lu Xiong and told him to quickly try to settle it.

In the study, Lu Xiong said disdainfully: "I'm not afraid of him." ”

"Not really." Liu Yun groaned: "This Chen Yi is eccentric, fortunately I have had a one-time friendship with him, wait for me to install a wooden clock, and know his affection." But this person can only bind him with affection, but he can't use temptation, presumably I, Liu Yun, deigned to beg him, and he couldn't push him back. ”

Lu Xiong immediately said: "Brother Liu, go quickly, don't be slow." Although it was the younger brother who caused the trouble, it was your brother Liu who started first. ”

Hu Zhixian heard that Liu Yun was going to intercede, and encouraged him from the side: "It's rare for Liu Gong to be righteous, I think with us people, it's a big deal for him to protect Shen Ruo, as long as he doesn't seriously investigate Brother Lu Xian." Liu Gong and Brother Lu Xian have a good alliance, and they can't sit idly by. Gu Yun's lips are cold, and even the lower officials are grateful to be able to calm down this matter.

So you say a word to me. Liu Yun originally said it casually, so much so that he couldn't help but go, and said with a wry smile: "Go and go, but I can't hold this person steadily, but unfortunately it's not someone else, I can succeed with a letter." ”

"Hurry up." Hu Xianling simply asked the family to prepare a sedan chair for him, "Now I am afraid that the witness will come to his yamen, and it will be troublesome to interrogate him immediately." ”

It's good to say that Liu Yun was invited out, and Hu Xianling returned to the county government in a sedan chair, and his heart was hanging in suspense along the way. At this point, I regret why I coveted Lu Xiong for only five hundred taels, and caused such a trouble, why bother?

At the same time, Xu Yu and Zhu Mingzhi, who had gotten better, took a walk in Yisu Garden, planning to change some names, because most of the names were given by Xu Qingtang with literati, which was not in line with his wishes.

Starting from the garden gate, do not take the cave shortcut, and the square courtyard behind the main gate. A hexagonal pavilion facing east, opposite is also a pavilion, on all sides of the hand verandah, there are very secret moon cave doors on the left and right. The patio is planted with bamboo and other plants, which is typical of Gangnam garden.

Zhu Ruizhu pointed to the red wall and said, "There should be a few words inscribed here, and the two pavilions should also be named." ”

Xu Yu said: "This is the first place to get started, and it has to be interesting." ”

"Two words come to mind. Don't know what to use? Xu Yunning said suddenly.

"Why not." Xu Yu asked, "Which two words?" ”

Xu Yunning smiled: "How about the word 'fun'? ”

"Fun?" Xu Yu was a little confused, but Zhu Ruizhu and the others glared at Xu Yunning one after another, and everyone didn't say anything about it. Walk forward.

Hit the moon cave door out, because it has always been either a cave or a suspension bridge, almost few people take this road, only to see the twists and turns in front of the eyes are all corridors, and the direction is not clear at all.

"No wonder no one walks here." Zhu Mingzhi thought for a while, "Let's call it Tongyou, there is nothing more appropriate except for it." ”

"Good!" Xu Yu nodded, and when he got to the verandah, most of them laughed.

No need to ask, anyone can guess which god comes from here, the verandah extends in all directions, like a labyrinth, full of flowers, trees, stalagmites and strange-shaped rockeries, the verandah from time to time twists and turns to hit the rockery through it, and when you turn around, you can't recognize which one is the way to come, which one is the way to go.

If you are a road idiot, you will be lost for most of the day, which is also an important reason why everyone chooses the shortcut.

"It's interesting here, and it's worth mentioning it." Nephrite said with a smile.

Xu Yunsu said very familiarly: "I like to play hide and seek here, this corridor to the north, to the back of the rockery, still leading to the corridor to the east." The corridor to the east is also connected on three sides, and to the west is the way here, and to the south it is still to the corridor to the south. The corridor to the south is also open on all sides, and it is here if you go north and in a circle to the west. Hehe, every time I play tricks on this verandah who doesn't know the way, I can't get out for a day. ”

"Amitabha, I'm all stunned by you." Mu Lanxiang smiled and said, "Then hang a 'maze meander'." ”

Everyone laughed and said that the name was appropriate, and now walked out of the way led by Yunsu, which is probably located on the west side of the Xicui Pavilion, and is still a verandah, looking at the flower wall on one side, facing the rockery on the other hand, and the road is divided into three forks here.

Xu Yu pointed and said: "Here is the back mountain to the east, go back to the maze and wind, and go south is the right road." ”

Xiao Binglan said: "This side is surrounded by mountains on both sides, so is it good to use the word 'Huancui'?" ”

Everyone said okay, Xu Yu remembered it in his heart and walked south. After walking for a while, I turned a corner, and there was a three-wing nanmu flower hall facing east.

Outside, there is a quiet hedge, and inside there stand one or twenty stalagmites, all of which are of various shapes, some like pine trees, some like people, and some like standing cranes. There are also two whitebark pine trees and several palm trees.

There are some rare ancient artifacts in the hall, and there is absolutely no fire inside and out. The window lintel is also carved very ancient, not similar to the times, and the tables and chairs are all Nanmu inlaid with green marble. (To be continued......)
