After dressing as a top-quality old woman, I became the pillar of the whole family

Chapter 55 He dares?The county government will be demolished before tomorrow
When Mr. Xu arrived at the county government office, it seemed that he had entered his own territory, and he knocked on the gate.

"It's so late, who is it? Do you know where this place is? Disturbing the county magistrate, looking for death?" The people inside came out to open the door cursing.

The door just opened a crack, and Master Xu squeezed in, and said in a low voice, "It's me!"

When the person who opened the door heard the words, the scolding stopped abruptly.

"I want to see the county magistrate." Master Xu said anxiously, "Someone comes to the school to seek bad luck, and I have to rely on the county magistrate to give me justice. Please inform me."

Zhang Xiaoying: "..."

Didn't you say to meet the officer?

I thought it was going to court, but it turned out to be this kind of meeting with an official?

It seems that Mr. Xu is so confident, there really is someone behind him!

Zhou Tao thought that Zhang Xiaoying would be afraid and was waiting to be appeased, but saw Zhang Xiaoying watching the scene at the gate of the county government with great interest, as if... watching a monkey show!
How could she be so calm?Such a bold woman is really rare!

Sensing Zhou Tao's gaze, Zhang Xiaoying tilted her head and smiled slightly.

Zhou Tao was stunned for a moment, always feeling that Zhang Xiaoying was out of tune with ordinary women.

Maybe his impression of country women is too rigid, Zhou Tao secretly thought.

Master Xu went in quickly.

Zhang Xiaoying paid a little attention, and heard Master Xu started adding fuel to the story after seeing the county magistrate, saying that she and the old man suspected the school and slandered the school in order to extort money.

Master Xu even told about Xu Yunfei's broken leg because of gambling, so he concluded that she came to the school to make money for medicine.

Master Xu made a very aggrieved request: "My lord, you gave your full support when the students ran the school, and the students knew that their knowledge was limited and they could not teach any talents.

"However, my lord is very clear about the students' ambition and sincerity towards the imperial court. I beg you to find out this matter and punish these people severely, so that people can understand that heresy will not work!"

The county magistrate angrily said: "Is there any reason for this? Is there any law for the king? They can extort money from the school? Don't worry, I won't let those rural women tarnish the reputation of scholars. Come here, prepare to be promoted!"

The county government has servants on duty at night to prevent the common people from encountering any emergencies.

"Old man, see if you want Dashun to go back and invite someone over, otherwise we will spend the night in prison." Zhang Xiaoying turned to Zhou Tao when she heard that the county magistrate was about to be promoted.

"Are you afraid?" Zhou Tao asked back with a smile, with a calm expression that he would not be afraid of the sky falling, "Don't worry, with me here, no one would dare to keep you in prison overnight."

"Oh?" Zhang Xiaoying raised her eyebrows slightly, "But I see that Mr. Xu has a good relationship with the people here in the county government. Maybe he and the county magistrate are old acquaintances. Then you will be imprisoned for helping me out of kindness for a while. Then It was my fault."

"He didn't dare." Zhou Tao said firmly.

If he entered the county government prison, students from Yinghua Academy would come and tear down the county government without waiting for tomorrow.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoying knew that she had guessed right, the old man should be of high status, maybe he was a senior minister or an elder of a high official.

While the two were talking, the door of the county government opened wide.

Master Xu couldn't suppress the pride on his face, and came out from inside, "Come on, didn't you say you want to see the official? We'll let the county magistrate give a good sentence in the courtroom!"

"Don't be complacent!" Seeing Master Xu, Da Shun really wanted to hit someone, but Zhou Tao refused to let him, so he didn't dare. , "Sir, this kind of villain, why do you need to come forward?"

"Go and have a look." Zhou Tao went in first.

Zhang Xiaoying followed.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and the torches were lit in the courtroom. When the wind blew, the flames flickered, making people's faces a little uncertain.

The county magistrate squinted his eyes and glanced at Zhang Xiaoying and Zhou Tao. There seemed to be a familiar figure in his blurred vision, but the county magistrate didn't care. women standing together.

"Who is in the hall, what's the matter, why don't you kneel down when you see me?" The county magistrate slammed the gavel.

Before Zhang Xiaoying and Zhou Tao could reply, Master Xu jumped up first: "My lord, it's just that these two people have nothing to do with kings and extorted money in the school. Now they don't kneel down when they see you, and they really don't take you seriously. , I beg my lord to punish such troublesome people severely."

The county magistrate patted the gavel again: "Don't you kneel down and explain quickly? If you are honest, I think you are the first offender, and you can give me a lighter sentence. Otherwise, don't blame me for serving you with severe punishment!"

"It should be beaten hard." Master Xu changed his previous arrogance in the school, bowed to the county magistrate and nodded, only agreeing.

Zhang Xiaoying's forehead twitched, and his fist began to harden again.

Zhou Tao said in a low voice, "Your Excellency hasn't investigated thoroughly yet, based on just one side of the story, Your Excellency has drawn the conclusion that we are wrong?"

"Presumptuous, are you teaching me what to do? When I interrogate you, you only need to answer yes or no."

"Your Excellency may wish to listen to the process of this matter first, and then make a conclusion." Zhou Tao said, "If you still believe that the two of us are at fault, then let's talk about it."

"My lord, don't listen to his nonsense. The two of them colluded and would always turn black and white. The students have already experienced it!" Master Xu would not let them say anything more.

Mr. Xu only needs Zhang Xiaoying and Zhou Tao to be sent to prison immediately, and then he has plenty of ways to make them suffer in prison.

Zhang Xiaoying sneered: "Isn't it you who turned black and white and deceived the adults? My lord, the grandson of the housewife has been studying in Mr. Xu's school for a year, let alone writing, and the housewives don't even listen to the children's reciting at home." Pass.

"The woman suspected that Mr. Xu didn't care about the child, and asked Mr. Xu to prove that he had really taught my child this year. If my child didn't learn it, it was my fault. If not, let Mr. Xu The bundle was repaired.

"For such a simple proof, Mr. Xu repeatedly evaded it, and finally claimed that Shu Xiu was dismissed on the grounds that he did not have the same knowledge as the peasant woman, an ignorant woman from the countryside. The woman hid the silver privately.

"This old gentleman couldn't see it, and he was kind enough to testify for the women, but this Mr. Xu beat him up, saying that I colluded with the old gentleman to extort money. Dare I ask you, if Mr. Xu is not guilty, why is he unwilling to prove that he really taught The child reads?"

Zhang Xiaoying's words were fluent and well-organized, without the slightest fear that the village women would be speechless when they saw court officials, which made Master Xu's heart skip a beat.

How could this be?
This development was beyond Mr. Xu's expectation, and gave Mr. Xu a bad feeling.

Today's county magistrate doesn't count if he says he's smart or stupid, and he likes to boast of being an upright official. If he really believes in Zhang Xiaoying, I'm afraid things will go wrong!
