On the way back to the yamen, Liu Qingcao carefully observed the condition of the four people. Apart from injuries to the eyes, most of their legs were broken, and the one with the least injury could not walk on the ground.

It seems that Jiang Dafu did put a lot of effort into their legs in order to save his life.

Liu Qingcao didn't feel sympathetic either, but wanted to praise Jiang Dafu, well done!
When the master saw the miserable appearance of the four people, he was shocked. If he didn't know that they wanted to seek money and kill people, he would have sympathized with the four people.

"Tell me, how did the four of you plot against the villagers in my town?"

Xia Gengcai slapped the gavel, and the four of them trembled like chaff in fright, faltering and murmuring, unable to explain why.

"Master, we, we were wronged!"

After a long time, Hengmei's servant struggled to sit up from the ground, dragged his throat, and shouted out his injustice in grief.

Xia Gengcai choked, he was planning to bite back, he was not going to plead guilty!

"Bold and unreasonable, with all the witnesses and material evidence, and dare to turn the truth upside down, someone, drag him down, and hit ten boards first!"

"Yes!"

"Master, Master, Xiaomin was really wronged, really wronged..."

Hengmei's servant looked at the approaching yamen servant, and moved his body desperately, screaming for grievances, while avoiding.

Ten boards, say more or less, but if this body is exposed to these ten boards now, I am afraid it will have to be destroyed.

"Drag it!"

Xia Gengcai stared angrily, and spoke in a deep voice, not giving Hengmei's servant a chance to argue.

The two yamen servants got the order, stepped forward without hesitation, and dragged the person out. After a while, there were shrill voices outside, startling the four people who were crawling inside, their foreheads were covered with fine sweat, and their complexions became even paler.

"You, tell me, if you still dare to quibble, drag out twenty big boards!"

Master Xia pointed at the thin servant, glanced coldly, and spoke lightly.

The thin servant listened to the sound outside, glanced at the people sitting in the hall, trembled, and stammered.

"Master, master, it's him, it's them, it's none of my business, I didn't intend to kill anyone, no, I didn't intend to hit those two people, they forced me!"

The thin servant was talking, his expression was agitated, and he burst into tears. The two servants on the side heard what he said, and quickly opened their mouths.

"Master, no, no, we were also forced, and we never thought of doing this. It was him who forced us to do it with a knife."

"Yes, yes, we just wanted to follow those two people, we didn't think about doing anything else."

The two servants pointed to the Hengmei servant who had just finished laying the board and was dragged in.

Hengmei's servant didn't expect these three people to put the blame on him so quickly, he glared at them angrily, and opened his mouth viciously.

"I forced you? Three of you, one of me, it's not sure who is forcing who!"

"You, you are talking nonsense. It was obviously you who made up your mind first. I didn't want to participate. It was your jealousy and money that forced me." The thin man's eyes were red, and he didn't expect this person to be so treacherous. , and now I still want to beat him up.

"you"

"Shut up!" Xia Gengcai slapped the gavel, his gray brows furrowed, and he looked coldly at the four people in the hall.

The four of them immediately fell silent, not daring to say anything more.

Standing aside, Liu Qingcao understood the general idea.

These four people were originally sent by the Chen family to follow Pan Yong and the two of them. Unexpectedly, they looked at Jiang Dafu and Pan Yong's money halfway, and became cautious, so they took the risk.

Xia Geng has only lived for so many years, so he naturally understands the twists and turns.

"Come here, take the four into custody and wait for the notice."

Xia Geng recruited the yamen servants and dragged the four of them down, but wasting too much time on them.

Seeing Xia Geng, Liu Qingcao came to a conclusion, and then stepped forward to speak.

"Master Xia, these four people have masters. We have to find their masters before we can solve this matter."

"I took them into custody just for this reason. In this way, I will let Wu Hu go to the county town with you and report the matter of these four people to the county government office."

Wu Hu, the head of the yamen, nodded, stepped forward to take the letter in Xia Gengcai's hand, and waited aside.

Liu Qingcao thought for a while, this matter was related to two places, and she had to deal with the county government office, so she didn't say much, nodded in response, and followed the head of the government office to the new county government office in a carriage.

The speed of the carriage was more than a star and a half faster than that of the ox cart. In two and a half hours, they arrived at the county government office in Xin County.

Wu Hu got out of the carriage, took Liu Qingcao and went forward, and handed the waist card and letter paper to the door servant as the yamen servant.

"Wait outside for a while, I'll go in and report."

The guard at the gate returned the badge to Wu Hu, and left with the letter paper.

After a while, the gatekeeper came out with no letter paper in his hands.

"go in."

"Thank you." Wu Hu cupped his fists to express his gratitude, and followed him into the Yamen.

Sitting in the yamen hall was a man in his thirties, dressed in a black official robe, with black hair standing up high, a full and round forehead, star-like eyebrows, a high and straight nose, and his official authority scattered.

Standing beside him was a man who was slightly older than him, with good facial features, a pair of short thick eyebrows, black and white eyeballs under the eyebrows, one could tell he was the master at a glance.

Liu Qingcao looked at the two of them, and the people above also looked at them.

"The villain Wuhu has met County Magistrate Gan."

"Minister Liu Qingcao has met County Magistrate Gan."

Liu Qingcao imitated Wuhu's appearance, and after seeing the ceremony, she stopped talking and waited quietly.

"Today's matter, can you investigate whether it is true?"

Gan Changsu stared at the two people in the hall, and asked word by word.

"Answer Gan County Magistrate, there are all witnesses and material evidence, and the prisoner has been taken into custody by the town government."

Wu Hu lowered his head and answered neither humble nor overbearing.

"Come here, go and bring Chen Shoushan here."

Gan Changsu nodded, and ordered people to go to Chen's house.

Chen family.

When a group of county yamen servants arrived at Chen's house, Chen Shoushan was in the room shaking Luan and phoenix, very happy.

"My lord, my lord..."

The servant girl brought Chen Shoushan's wife, Ye Shuangfeng, to the backyard in a hurry.

In the room, Chen Shoushan was aroused by the sudden voice of the servant girl, fell off the blanket, and yelled at the door.

"Master, someone from the county government has arrived."

Ye Shuangfeng lowered her eyebrows, listening to Chen Shoushan's abuse, stood in front of the door, her voice was urgent, and her face was obviously anxious.

Chen Shoushan paused after hearing the words, pushed away the woman who was entangled, quickly put on his clothes, tidied up his appearance, and rushed out the door.

After Chen Shoushan left, Ye Shuangfeng glanced at the people in the room, and walked towards the room with a cold face.

Chen Shoushan walked quickly to the front yard, and when he saw the Yacha, he stepped forward to salute respectfully.

"I don't know why the messenger came here?"

"According to orders, Mr. Chen will come with us."

The yamen servant glanced at him, but didn't say much.

Chen Shoushan followed anxiously, wondering if he had committed anything recently.

When he got to the gate of the county government office, he couldn't think of anything, and he became even more nervous and frightened.

"Chen Shoushan, you are guilty!"

Gan Changsu slapped the gavel with a steady and powerful voice, and Chen Shoushan fell to his knees in panic.

"Magistrate Gan, Xiaomin, Xiaomin doesn't know..."

"I don't know? I don't know why this county magistrate brought you here!"

"Xiaomin, I implore County Magistrate Gan to give some advice." Chen Shoushan prostrated himself on the ground, requesting in a weak voice.

"Your family lost people yesterday?" Gan Changsu said coldly, his light eyes swept across the few people in the hall.

Chen Shoushan frowned and recalled, suddenly thinking of the four people who were sent away yesterday, his old body trembled.

The four people he sent out yesterday must have committed something, otherwise he would not have been called by Gan Changsu.

Thinking of this, Chen Shoushan couldn't get over his anger. No matter what, he couldn't admit that he sent these four people out.

"Magistrate Gan, Xiaomin lost four servants at home yesterday."
