lady

Chapter 251 Hit a Wall
Liang Qiyuan got up from the ground, looking at Zhou Bingyi with still dissatisfaction.

Zhou Bingyi slowed down his tone, and said in a flat tone: "The first time Baguio went to the Qi family, the servants of the Duke of Anguo's mansion hadn't passed by yet, and there was no news at all. Arriving a moment earlier than Shuyu and Baguio surprised even the Qi family. Moreover, Baguio said that when she visited Qi Ye for the first time, she did not hide it from her younger siblings and niece. It's even more disgusting."

Liang Qiyuan's eyes flashed fiercely, as if it was like this, Liu sneered at him more than once, saying that the magistrate's daughter was fawning on an abandoned peasant woman, and she had no status as an official lady.

Zhou Bingyi stared at Liang Qiyuan, and said sarcastically: "I really can't figure it out. As the young lady of Shuyu and Baguio's fourth-rank magistrate's family, I have to lower my social status to make friends with Qi Ye. In the end, the two children left on the front foot, and you were on the back foot." Invite someone to serve you dim sum at your house. Didn't you expect Liang Qiyuan's status to be so high?"

"I, it was done by that ignorant woman of the Liu family. I, I didn't know about it." Liang Qiyuan tried his best to make himself sound innocent.

Zhou Bingyi sneered and said, "Is it Liu's idea to send someone from the family to Qi's snack shop to interfere with the business?"

Liang Qiyuan immediately said: "Yes, yes, I also reprimanded Mrs. Liu for this, and all the servants in Mrs. Liu's room know about it."

"Hehe," Zhou Bingyi asked with a smile, "Bringing off the local ruffians, going to the snack bar to make trouble, and later the ruffian's family members and friends flocking to the yamen to file a complaint, must have been done by Mrs. Liu? Do you want me to appeal for you and reopen the case?" After the trial, let me go out and lock Mrs. Liu in for questioning?"

"Think about the whole thing carefully. Which thing did you do after careful consideration? Let me ask you, Mr. Jiang, the magistrate, interrogated you twice in the second hall. Why didn't you speak up to defend yourself? They all accused you of rebellion. It's on your head, and you still refuse to admit that you did something stupid because of personal grievances, do you still think that you can get out of the prison unscathed, and even punish Jiang Yifan?"

Liang Qiyuan opened his mouth, but didn't say a word.That's what he thought, thinking that as soon as his brother-in-law, who was the magistrate, arrived in Qingyuan County, Jiang Yifan immediately knelt at his brother-in-law's and his feet, begging them to forgive him.Then he still asked his brother-in-law to punish him.

Zhou Bingyi lowered his face and said, "Let me tell you about the current situation. Except for you who didn't speak, the rest of the witnesses and criminals have confessed. , and went to the gate of the yamen to make trouble. Some people made a fuss in the county yamen, and many people in the county saw it, and there were many people who could testify. This case can be concluded that someone gathered a crowd to rush into the yamen, that is, rebellion."

Zhou Bingyi's last words were light but dark.

Liang Qiyuan's complexion changed drastically, and he threw himself at Zhou Bingyi's feet in a panic, hugging Zhou Bingyi's leg, and begged in tears: "Brother-in-law, please help me, I really don't want to rebel, I just can't swallow this breath, I want to let you go!" Madame Qi and Jiang Yifan are embarrassed. I really didn't want to rebel, brother-in-law, you believe me, and you go and explain to Jiang Yifan that I really am not rebelling."

Zhou Bingyi stood up, looked down at Liang Qiyuan, and said, "I can only ask Jiang Yifan to interrogate you again. Then you should answer the question truthfully, and don't try to be opportunistic. Today's Qingyuan County is not something that a little magistrate like me can cover up with one hand." place, I will talk to Master Rong Liu and Qi Ye to see if they are willing to let go."

Liang Qiyuan watched the cell boss open the cell door with duller eyes, and Zhou Bingyi walked out.But I was very puzzled in my heart, why didn't I go to the steward of An Guogong's mansion?Could it be that Rong Liuye and Qi Ye are more important than the stewards of An Guogong's mansion?

Zhou Bingyi, who was always begging to see Jin Rong, hit a wall.At the gate of Jin Rong's temporary house, Wan Yan apologized sincerely: "Master Zhou, please forgive me. My sixth master lives in a place, so it is really not suitable for him to have close contacts with court officials. What's more, your wife and uncle are still..., It's not that my sixth master is too cautious, it's that this matter is too sensitive."

Zhou Bingyi's expression froze, and his mood was extremely broken.The prince should not have close contact with court officials, this sentence is nonsense to King Yu.No one in the court knew that King Yu never cared about any taboos, and he could tangle with anyone when he was interested.But if King Yu was not interested, even if the first-rank officials rushed to say hello, he would ignore it.

But if rebellion is involved, then we have to say something else, it is really not suitable to communicate.If in order to avoid suspicion, King Yu came forward and demanded that those suspected of rebellion should be severely punished.

Zhou Bingyi cupped his hands and said, "I have something to say, can Steward Wan tell Liu Ye?"

Wan Yan looked even more terrified, "Master Zhou, let's go find another way. What happened in Qingyuan County, Liu Ye is already very upset. Now, even if Liu Ye wants to leave, he is afraid that he will not be able to get rid of the responsibility. I stayed here with a scalp. Mr. Zhou should go."

After returning from Jin Rong, the sun had already set, Zhou Bingyi returned to the county government office under the bleak autumn afterglow, entered through the main entrance, and formally came to the county government office of Qingyuan County as the magistrate.

Jiang Yifan ushered Zhou Bingyi into the back hall, let him take his seat, and asked, "Has your lord ever had dinner? Or should we serve tea first?"

Only then did Zhou Bingyi feel hungry, and he laughed and said, "After being busy for half a day, I'm really hungry. If Mr. Jiang has ready-made meals here, please ask Mr. Jiang to order some to be brought."

Jiang Yifan said: "I don't know when my lord will come back, so there is no use for dinner, but there is no decent chef in the yamen, and the dinner is just some ordinary soups, I hope my lord will not dislike it."

"Master Jiang has a heart, so he delayed having dinner with this official."

"The lower official will order the meal to be prepared. It is a blessing for the lower official to be able to eat with your lord." Jiang Yifan hurriedly got up and cupped his hands.

Zhou Bingyi was so anxious that day, and after hearing Jiang Yifan's words, he was really moved. He almost forgot that the inextricable deadlock was caused by this kid in front of him.

　Add one more in the afternoon, or four o'clock.
