Chapter 1058: Cowardice

Seeing Chen Xiaonuan's heart cold, not to mention a Wu night grain.

Lu Qiyuan, the magistrate of the county who was dressed in a green official robe and sat majestically in the hall of the Yamen of Jixian County, looked at the big grin standing at the yamen with his hands behind his back, looking at the lively Chen Xiaonuan, he was like falling into the abyss.

A fifteen-year-old girl, behaved so implausibly, but beyond reproach. Because people are wearing the robe of the five-clawed dragon king, this is allowed by the holy decree of the saints!

The one kneeling in the hall was the scoundrel who scalded Qin's two acres of cotton seedlings with boiling water two days ago; Standing outside the yamen is the daughter of the Qin family, Chen Xiaonuan, the lord of Wenchang County, who walks sideways in the capital. Lu Qiyuan immediately understood.

There is no need to try this case, and the gang of thugs in the hall went to Pan Rui's rice field to steal rice ears because of Chen Xiaonuan's way!

Otherwise, these people only committed the crime last night, how could they have been served in such a few hours!

Maybe Chen Xiaonuan even knew that Pan Rui was his Lu Qiyuan, so he led Wu Yeliang to steal the Pan family's rice.

Looking at Chen Xiaonuan's expression, Lu Qiyuan's heart was like a mirror - it was not these scoundrels who were tried in this case, but him, Lu Qiyuan, the magistrate of Jixian County.

Lu Qiyuan regretted not being at the beginning. The last time he was promoted to the court to try the case, he looked at the Qin family's honest appearance that everyone could deceive, and felt that it was not a big deal to humiliate her, maybe he could use this move to please Cheng Wujie and find a good official position for his son.

Looking at Chen Xiaonuan's posture today, Mo said that his son's future, even his career may have to be smashed on the heads of these scoundrels. Lu Qiyuan, who was already stuffy in Fu Tian's official robe, was soaking wet on his back.

Downstairs, Wu Yechang took a group of scoundrels to kowtow, weeping bitterly and repenting. Just like the last time they scalded Qin's cotton seedlings in the middle of the night, they confessed to the crime of stealing rice ears this time. They pleaded again and again, pleading for their ignorance, for the sake of their momentary lard, for the sake of their seriously ill old mothers, and for the sake of their children waiting to be fed. They will definitely change their past mistakes and become new people.

This time, they not only knocked their foreheads blue, but also bled out. The people outside the hall watched with wide eyes, Chen Xiaonuan smiled lightly, and the dog and the little girl beside her were all gnawing melons and looking in.

Last time, Qin's two acres of cotton seedlings were worth more than a dozen acres of rice fields, and he earnestly persuaded Qin's to let her be tolerant and generous to spare these people. Why should the sentence be reimposed now? Moreover, this Tian is still himself, and the heavy sentence is suspected of personal revenge.

The sentence is even lighter, destroying the seedlings is a serious crime, last time he was sentenced lightly to "God has the virtue of a good life", these people are so rampant, if he is sentenced lightly, not only the people of Jixian County will not do it, let the state yamen know, but also ask him for his fault.

Lu Qiyuan, who can't be light or heavy, is like sitting on pins and needles.

The cries under the hall and the discussion outside the hall hit Lu Qiyuan's ear drums, and he was beaten so flustered and out of breath that sweat flowed down the corners of his forehead and wet the black veil.

"My lord, if there is one, there will be two, and if there is two, there will be three, these people must not be spared, or everyone will have to sleep on the ground!" Someone outside the hall shouted.

There are also those who help Wu Yechang intercede, "My lord, they are not having a good time, who doesn't want to be a good person, you give them another chance to mend their ways." ”

"The cotton seedlings of the Qin'an people last time were much more valuable than the rice ears this time, how can you say this?" Someone began to settle accounts.

"The adults have said that those who destroy the seedlings will be caned for 50 after 100, and the sticks of two acres of seedlings will become meat sauce, right? Do you want to play it all at once, or how many times you want to play it in parts? "Someone is really here to see the fun.

There are also troublemakers, "There are so many fields, why do they only steal the rice of the Pan family?" I heard that Master Pan is a good friend of Master Lu, so they are not afraid of death? ”

"What you say is true? Pan Rui, who spent a lot of money to buy 80 acres of fertile land in Ji County, is a good friend of Lord Lu? Xiao Nuan, who was watching the excitement in front of the door, finally spoke, and her voice exploded in Lu Qiyuan's ears like thunder.

The onlookers stopped talking, and their eyes shuttled between Lu Qiyuan and Chen Xiaonuan. They're really here, and there's a big buzz to see today!

"Buzz!"

Lu Qiyuan only felt that the world was spinning, and his eyes rolled over the high-backed chair in the lobby, dizzy.

The anxious master immediately shouted loudly, "My lord, my lord! The adult was stunned by the heat for the trial, and the case was postponed for retrial. ”

Wu Yechang and the others in the hall stopped crying, they escaped this hurdle, maybe they could still think of a way; Outside the hall, the lively people booed regretfully. Gao Cangjie, who was fat for two laps in the crowd, felt that he had really watched a good show.

"Sister, it's over." Xiaocao finished gnawing the melon in his hand, took the handkerchief handed by Youyu and wiped his mouth and hands clean.

"It's hot, let's go home and cool off." Xiao Nuan pulled her sister to call Rhubarb and went home.

As soon as he turned around, the people who had not left immediately made a way, "County Lord, where are you going?" ”

"Go home." Xiao Nuan smiled gently, but none of the people around her dared to look down on her because she was small and kind.

The person who can scare the county master with an understatement, who dares to underestimate it! Chen Xiaonuan didn't move the stick or the knife this time, and she didn't even enter the yamen, so she gave her mother's anger. Who doesn't want such a waist girl!

Giving birth to a daughter should be like Chen Xiaonuan!

On the carriage, Xiaocao asked curiously, "Sister, is Lord Lu really dizzy or pretending to be dizzy?" ”

Xiao Nuan drank the cool mung bean paste, and said slowly, "Whether it's true or not, he's a coward." ”

If he pretends to be dizzy, it means that he can't solve the problem that Xiao Nuan gave him, and it is useless to delay it through such means!

If it's really dizzy, it's even more useless. Lu Qiyuan looked like a person, he was a little bit of guts when he encountered something, where did he borrow the courage to dare to provoke her Chen Xiaonuan's family!

After Lu Qiyuan woke up quietly, those annoying voices were no longer in his ears, and he finally let out a long breath, although it was not decent to say, but he finally dragged that difficult moment over.

"Master, are you awake?" Mrs. Lu, who had been by his side, cared about her husband's body, "Do you still feel dizzy?" ”

He had never fainted before, and Lu Qiyuan also felt afraid, he closed his eyes and felt all over his body, and felt that there was no big problem, so he slowly sat up, and Mrs. Lu helped him and sat down at the table.

Lu Qiyuan drank two glasses of water before asking, "How is the front office?" ”

"The master shouted to stop the court trial, and put the thief in prison, with the county lieutenant Zeng in front of the overall situation, the master doesn't have to worry." Mrs. Lu asked again, "Where do you feel unwell, why did you suddenly faint?" ”

Lu Qiyuan couldn't say that he was so out of breath that Xiao Nuan and the others were so noisy that he fainted, so he only said vaguely, "Today's day is too stuffy." ”

"yes, I'm afraid it's going to rain this day." Mrs. Lu was very clever, she didn't ask too much, she just followed her husband's words and chatted with him, "I hope this rain won't fall for too long and affect the harvest." ”

Lu Qiyuan looked at the dark clouds that covered the sun and muttered, "The dark clouds cover the sun, and they want to turn the sky upside down." ”
