Chapter 539
dong dong dong...

"The king of the county!"

If it wasn't urgent, Cheng Cang wouldn't have disturbed Fu Jiuqu's sleep.

Xin Yi opened his eyes and listened with pricked ears.

Footsteps sounded, Fu Jiuqu put on his clothes and went to open the door, "What's the matter?"

Cheng Cang said something in a low voice, the voice was very soft, Xin Yi could only faintly hear "members outside" and "coffin", and then the door became quiet.

Cheng Cang walked away, Fu Jiuqu came back in the dark, and went out with his clothes.

Xin Yi propped himself up and sat up, "What time is it?"

Fu Jiuqu: "It's still early, you can sleep for a while."

Xin Yi was silent for a moment, "Did something happen?"

Fu Jiuqu groaned, then said quietly: "Gou Yuanwai learned that I was going to reverse the case for He Wulang, so he unearthed the coffin of that stupid son overnight, carried it outside the yamen, set up a sacrifice to invite the spirit, and knocked on the drum to ask for an explanation."

There was no light in the room, and the outline of the man could be seen by the moonlight.

Xin Yi couldn't see Fu Jiuqu's expression clearly, so he asked softly:
"What are you going to do?"

"Hmph." Fu Jiuqu glanced at her, "It's bad luck for him to bump into me and feel bad."

"..."

He didn't say anything in detail, and strode out.

The lights in the next room came on, and soon after hearing the sound of the door opening and closing, it gradually calmed down.

Fu Jiuqu left.

Xin Yi couldn't sleep anyway, and seeing that it was almost dawn, she simply called Xingyuan and Taoyu to help her wash up.

"Why did my lady get up so early today?"

Xin Yi said bluntly: "I heard that there is trouble ahead, so I want to go and have a look."

Xingyuan looked at her worriedly, "What are those bastards doing to him? Don't offend my wife..."

Xin Yi stroked her hair at the temples, looked at the woman in the mirror, and smiled.

When she was pregnant, everyone automatically brought her into the weak role.

Actually, how could she be so easily bullied?
……

Maoshi just arrived, the sky was not yet bright, the gongs and drums outside the state government office were noisy, a group of people were playing and beating, and Wuyang Wuyang blocked the intersection, crying loudly.

"Master Qingtian, you are going to avenge the child!"

"It's only right and proper to kill people to pay for their lives and to pay debts. However, eight years later, the executioner who killed the child is still at large, but Xiaomin was slandered by people, saying that he committed many evils and caused the child to die suddenly... ..."

"The way of heaven is unfair!"

"Master Qingtian, please be the master of the people, arrest the murderer, and return Yangzhou to a bright and sunny day..."

If Zhizhou is a strong dragon, then Gou Yuanwai is a local snake in Yangzhou City.

His family's ancestors have rooted in Yangzhou for generations, and they have one of the best wealth and connections. They are called people in front of officials, and they are officials in front of the people.But when several prefects came to take office, they would give his family a little bit of good looks.

Obviously, this is due to the fact that Xinzhizhou has not yet established a firm foothold, and wants to pre-emptively attack Fu Jiuqu with a crooked and reasonable one.

The lobby is brightly lit.

Fu Jiuqu sat down in the hall, "Go, get Xu Yuzuo."

An upright manager responded and went straight.

The king of Guangling County had not been in Yangzhou for a long time, but he acted swiftly and resolutely.Everyone has already figured out his temper, he doesn't like to engage in that kind of nonsense, and he doesn't like to listen to euphemistic rhetoric, just tell him what to do right away.

For a moment, Ge Yong rushed over with his crown on his head, and said anxiously:
"Wake up the county king at night, this dog is too courageous."

He observed Fu Jiuqu's expression, "Your Majesty, why don't you let the lower officials handle this matter?"

Fu Jiuqu looked at him, "What are you going to do?"

Ge Yongdao: "This Gou Yuanwai has only one son, and he has been a treasure since he was a child. When something happened to his son, the Gou family lost the incense, and Gou Yuanwai lost his thoughts. Over the years, he has been pestering the government every year to find the real culprit. The argument... No, I don’t know where he heard the rumor that He Wulang, the murderer, has returned to Yangzhou, and that the county king, you listened to the slander and wanted to reverse the case for He Wulang, so he became anxious and waited. The officer went to appease and appease, and persuaded the person to go back..."

Fu Jiuqu glanced at Ge Yong.

"He was right."

"The king of the county..."

"This king wants to reverse the case for He Wulang."

Ge Yong's eyes were wide open, and he looked at him in disbelief.

"But, but...the evidence of He Wulang's murder back then was solid, and the case was clear..."

Fu Jiuqu glanced at him lightly, "Otherwise, why is it called overturning the case instead of adjudicating the case?"

Ge Yong stood on one side in embarrassment, raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and nodded in agreement.

He knew very well who this King of Guangling was, and what he was determined to do, not to mention a small pass from him, even the pillars of the country in Beijing, might not be able to stop it.

Ge Yong silently weighed his weight in his heart, and made up his mind to follow this man's wishes, not to stand in the wrong team...

"Princess Princess, stay!"

Suddenly there was a low shout, but two yamen servants blocked Xin Yi from the door.

It is a rule that the wife of the back house does not come to the front hall, so Ge ​​Yong took a look at Fu Jiuqu.

Shouldn't...

"Let her in." Fu Jiuqu's voice fell, and his face was not very good-looking.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ge Yong quickly winked at the two yamen servants, bowed his hands and bowed with a smile on his face.

"It's all because the officials are not good at handling things. Look at this incident, and it alarmed the princess of the county."

Before Fu Jiuqu took office, the former magistrate resigned, and Ge Yong handled all the affairs. That is to say, except for the people Fu Jiuqu brought from Bianjing, the rest can be regarded as Ge Yong's confidantes. Follow his orders.

Xin Yi didn't care about Fu Jiuqu's official duties, but it didn't mean she was stupid, she could understand the general situation in this yamen with a glance.

She smiled lightly, and said politely to Ge Yong:
"I couldn't see my husband when I woke up, and my fetus was restless, so I couldn't hold back and came out to look for someone. I didn't realize that adults have business to do..."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his voice and looked at Fu Jiuqu with a little anxiety.

"Did the concubine cause trouble to the county king?"

Looking at her timid eyes, Fu Jiuqu felt angry in his waist, but he had to admit that this woman has excellent acting skills, from passive to active in just the blink of an eye.

well.

Fu Jiuqu smiled lowly, got up and helped her sit up with his own hands, and then said softly:

"I woke you up? It's not a big deal. With Mr. Ge around, there is no difficult case."

Ge Yong's face changed slightly, he didn't even dare to say anything, he bowed his head and cupped his hands.

"The lower officials have little knowledge, and they all rely on the advice of the county king, otherwise they will end up with unjust, false and wrong cases."

Fu Jiuqu: "Your Majesty Ge said that before this king came to Yangzhou, all your cases were unjust, false and wrong?"

Ge Yong was startled, and looked at him with a pale face, with disbelief on his face.

People say a few polite words, but he takes it seriously.This Guangling County King is simply an unreasonable monster.Ge Yong has been an official for more than ten years, and he has never dealt with such a person. He kept explaining, but couldn't understand for a while...

Fortunately, Wu Zuo came in time and resolved Ge Yong's embarrassment.

Fu Jiuqu didn't press any further, instead he smiled lightly and asked the guy what to do.

"Before my king took office, I heard people say that Xu Yuzuo of Yangzhou Prefecture is a capable man. He was influenced by his father since he was a child and is proficient in the method of autopsy. Is there such a thing?"

Xin Yi clenched the hand in his sleeve slightly.

What does it mean to listen to people?
It's clearly what she said, from the Yangzhou plot.

Xu Wuzuo didn't expect that the king of the county knew him so well and gave him such a high evaluation. He looked flattered and bowed his hands.

"Miao Zan, the king of the county, the villain's father is a criminal officer and has been out of office for many years. The villain has studied autopsy with his father since he was a child, and he is not proficient. It's just that he has worked for more than [-] years and has accumulated some experience."

A very humble person.

Fu Jiuqu smiled with confusion.

"Very good! This king believes that you are someone with real skills."

Before the voice fell, he suddenly turned cold and looked towards the door.

"Ascension!"

Ge Yong was shocked again.

Just like this?
Don't you have to avoid it if there are women here?

Seeing his expression, Xin Yi stood up with his back propped up and said, "The king of the county has official duties, so I'm going back to my room first..."

"No need." Fu Jiuqu turned his eyes sideways, "Cheng Cang, bring the princess of the county to the trial behind the curtain."

Cheng Cang responded, "Yes."

"Wait!" Fu Jiuqu stopped him again, his eyes swept over Xin Yi's small face, "Make a stove."

Although it's spring, the weather is still cold in the morning and evening, especially last night when the wind was strong, and I felt my hands and feet were stiff even sitting here. Xin Yi was really a little cold, but he didn't expect it, he would.

Xin Yi blessed him, and turned behind the curtain, accompanied by two maids.

Soon there was a loud noise with crying in the lobby.

"Master Qingtian, you have to decide for the villain!"

"Oh... Lord Qingtian, you are wronged!"

There are several women and children who cry when they come to the hall.

Fu Jiuqu sat upright, looked down at the gavel tree, and slapped it down.

"Roaring in the courtroom, disturbing the audience. Come here, first drag Gou Congxue, who took the lead in making trouble, to [-] boards, and then come to present the matter in front of the government!"

"what!"

With an order, everyone in the hall was shocked.

Ge Yong and the master all looked at Fu Jiuqu together.

Hit the victim without saying a word, is there such a case?

 Fu Jiuqu: Yes, this is how the government handles cases.

  Gavel: I was a little unexpected. I haven’t moved my body for a long time, and I feel sore when I shoot it...
