Chapter 59
Soothe Xiao Douding, Hua Rujin was casually looking at the dishes on the table when she saw a middle-aged woman in red walking out of the restaurant, with a half-concerned and half-happy expression on her face and shouted at Shu Jinxuan Said: "Yo, the second son of the Shu family is here, I will let the girls who are singing on the stage withdraw."

"It doesn't have to be."

Shu Jinxuan glanced lightly at Dazzling, knowing that she likes to listen to music, took out two ingots of five taels of silver from her bosom and threw it into the hands of the middle-aged woman: "There is a happy event at home today, let them sing, just sing something cheerful .”

Hua Rujin took a pleasing look, and saw the woman holding a pipa under the innermost red silk curtain who was about to get up and sat down again.

Cai Baiwei watched her nephew handing over ten taels of silver to the shopkeeper of the restaurant, and persuaded with distressed expression: "Jinxuan, let's come and have a meal, don't listen to any music, don't waste the money."

"Oh, good sister, I think you don't go out very often on weekdays. It's rare to come out once. Naturally, you want to eat happily."

The shopkeeper in red is the most aware of the temper of the second son of the Shu family. He only likes the dishes of his own restaurant on weekdays, but he doesn't like to listen to music. Every time he comes, he gives the girls an extra five taels of silver to stop their work.

In this way, the girls are happy to earn money and be lazy, but they make themselves and other diners miserable.

It's rare that he gave more money today and it didn't affect the other diners in the restaurant. The shopkeeper helped Cai Baiwei and said with a smile: "It's rare that Second Master Shu is so honorable today. I will give you a four seasons prize."

When the words fell, he walked in with Cai Baiwei and shouted happily to the waiter in the shop: "One serving of sea bass soup, steamed goose and duck steak, stewed soft-shelled turtle, and lamb."

After listening to the names of several hard dishes, Hua Rujin looked at the dishes in front of her again, and sighed helplessly:
This elegant cousin is afraid that he will change his ways to save money for himself.

But Shu Jinxuan smiled complacently at the two siblings: "No way, cousin's popularity is like this wherever he goes."

Hearing this, Hua Rujin secretly looked around, only to see strange eyes staring at Cousin Ruya, as if they were disgusted by the God of Plague.

She quickly looked back and smiled awkwardly: "Naturally, my cousin is not only popular, but also lucky."

Presumably this is the legendary banknote ability.

The effort of one meal has created a majestic county magistrate's salary for one month.

And don't let others listen to music and see beautiful women.

Hua Rujin had no choice but to order two seasonal dishes and the pork knuckle that Xiaodouding wanted to eat, and two grilled fish for Xiaoer to pack, and then walked in with Cousin Ruya leisurely.

Thinking of his maverick temperament, he did not forget to tell him: "I think my cousin should not come to this restaurant again in the future."

"Oh? Why is that?"

Shu Jinxuan was very puzzled: "The shopkeeper likes your cousin very much. Every time he leaves, he always reminds me to remember to come here often."

"She says that to everyone."

Hua Rujin smiled wryly.

The two were talking, when they suddenly saw two figures slipping away in a hurry.

"Hey, isn't this the two people who just came in, why did they leave so quickly?"

Shu Jinxuan turned her head in wonder, and looked at the disappearing figures, one big and one small.

Hua Rujin turned her head and looked, only to see that young man just picked up the child and ran away, sneaking around, as if he had done something shady.

"Why is this?"

Shu Jinxuan clenched her chin, puzzled.

"Presumably this time it's really because of your popularity, cousin."

Hua Rujin doubted.

The things that happened recently are getting more and more weird. There is still a little girl hidden in the house that people can't see through, and I met these two people who behaved strangely.

I'm afraid, they really deceived Ye Chengwei or something.

In Maoyuan Village, five miles outside the city, Ye Chengwei led Ting An, Lu Xiuyuan and several guards and slowly knocked on the door of the Han family.

It was Han Chun's younger brothers Han Qiu and Han Dong who came out to open the door.

Seeing the county magistrate's messenger, the two brothers were panic-stricken and uneasy.

"My lords."

Before the two brothers could speak in the future, Lu Xiuyuan stopped them with a wave of his hand: "Today, the magistrate came to question in person, you brothers must tell the truth, and you must not hide anything."

"Yes."

The two replied dejectedly.

Ye Chengwei looked at the two brothers with cold eyes, walked slowly to a dilapidated wooden chair in the courtyard and sat down.

After thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice: "Your elder brother has confessed in prison, personally admitting that he killed Zhang Yuan, but the county doesn't think he is the murderer."

Hearing this, Han Qiu and Han Dong carefully raised their eyes and looked at each other.

"Tell me, why did he take the initiative to plead guilty?"

Ye Chengwei looked meaningfully at Lu Xiuyuan who was standing aside, the warning could not be more obvious.

Lu Xiuyuan looked at it with a shudder in his heart, and silently lowered his head.

"grown ups."

Han Qiu and Han Dong were about to speak hesitantly, but Ye Chengwei emphasized sharply: "This county will only ask once today, and your brother's life is only between the two of you."

"grown ups."

The second child, Han Qiu, gritted his teeth and said, "The three of us went to visit Zhang Yuan's house that day. Zhang Yuan died at home as soon as he entered the house, and his head was cut off. The house is also in a mess. He must have been robbed If we report to the official, it will definitely be determined that our three brothers robbed money and killed people. We had no choice but to ask Gu Langxi for advice. He gave us an idea and asked us to transport the body to Dou's house, and then lied that Zhang Yuan had traveled far away. "

"Now that the Dongchuang incident has happened, Han Chun has committed this unwarranted felony by himself in order not to let the two of you brothers be implicated?"

Ye Chengwei looked at Han Qiu and Han Dong coldly.

Both brothers bowed their heads in shame.

"Confused."

Ye Chengwei reprimanded angrily: "He himself doesn't know where the head of the corpse went. Obviously he was beaten into a trick. This Jiangling city has a lot of tricks. As brothers, you don't know how to ask someone to defend him and ask for it back for him. To be fair, to watch my flesh-and-blood brothers die unjustly?"

"My lord."

The two brothers burst into tears: "If there is a way, how can the grassroots be willing to let the elder brother die unjustly, since the elder brother was imprisoned, the old mother almost cried and blinded her eyes."

Han Qiu reported truthfully in a trembling voice: "Forgive the grassroots for daring to offend. Since ancient times, the yamen has opened to the south. Don't come in if you have a reason and no money. Not to mention that these lawyers in Jiangling City are demons who can only suck people's blood."

Han Dong also kept choking up and added: "There is a saying that you will not be a thief if you die poor, and you will not file a lawsuit even if you die poor. Even if we can bankrupt some money, it will not be enough for those clever mouths to pay for a lawsuit. No matter how completely clueless the court is, this is the reason why my elder brother would rather die unjustly than us get involved in it, he doesn't want the whole family to have no way of life."

Hearing this, Ye Chengwei looked around solemnly at the old and young women and children hidden in the house, and after pondering for a long time, he sighed slightly: "This county can show you a bright way."

In the blink of an eye, he glared at Lu Xiuyuan fiercely with some anger, and then looked back at the two brothers: "Now that your elder brother has voluntarily pleaded guilty, the county can only choose a public trial. If you feel that there is something else hidden, you can go to Chengnan Hua’s family appealed for help.”

It was only then that Lu Xiuyuan realized that he was beating someone into a trick, and hurriedly echoed in fear: "Miss Hua Jia persuaded the magistrate to release grain into Yuezhou today with just a few words. She is fair and upright, and she will definitely be willing to help you."

"Thank you for your advice, my lord."

Han Qiu and Han Dong thanked each other a lot, and watched the county government officials hurriedly leave their thatched hut with great emotion.
