Splendid Pastoral: Space farmers are good for farming

Chapter 342 Help
After being tossed about by the county magistrate, the guards in the yamen couldn't fall asleep anymore, so they simply started chatting with their knives in their arms.

Kikyo wanted to find Chen Tiecheng and couldn't find it, so he secretly eavesdropped on what they were saying. He heard that the new county magistrate had taken Chen Tiecheng's captor down, and even asked him to be the executioner.

Kikyo thought to himself, if the county magistrate of his lover is changed, the original people will be unhappy, and it seems that Chen Tiecheng's life is not easy.

However, it is good for Chen Tiecheng to be the executioner, so that the danger to his family can be reduced.

Thinking of her going out of the Yamen again, she searched for Chen Tiecheng's home.

She has never been to Chen Tiecheng's house, but she probably knows where it is. When she came to the street where Chen's house was located, before she could look for it from house to house, she saw a house with lights on. She glanced over the wall, It turned out to be Chen Tiecheng's family.

At this time, Chen Tiecheng was sitting under the lamp wiping his knife, while his wife was breastfeeding the child next to him, and the couple were still talking.

Chen's wife said: "Oh, I think you should stop doing this job, and kill people every now and then, what a crime!"

Chen Tiecheng sighed and said: "But if you don't do it, what else can you do? I have worked in the Yamen for half my life, and besides the work here, I don't know anything else."

"But this county magistrate doesn't want to see you. He catches the head well and turns into an executioner. How many people feel wronged for you."

Chen Tiecheng said: "That's true. In fact, [-]% of me don't want to do today's job, but I can't push it off temporarily, and I'm worried. How should this person be cut off!"

"Cut who, let you worry so much, and die unjustly?"

"Injustice, the injustice has gone to the heavens! There are ten or so members in the family, and none of them deserves to die. This County Magistrate is really too cruel!"

Chen's wife's face changed slightly in fright, and said: "Ten people died unjustly?! What a big case this is, are you not afraid that people will sue him?"

Chen Tiecheng said: "If I say County Magistrate Lang is responsible, then he is Qiao Jijiao's family. He killed him. Even if he was ordered by the magistrate, he will not be responsible if he is investigated later. can afford it."

"Joe Bellflower? Is that the fairy girl from Shibantun?"

Chen Tiecheng nodded, and said, "Yes, it's her. I have taken advantage of her all these years. You said that this person asked me to kill him this time. Isn't that a trick for me..."

The couple were talking, but they heard someone knocking on the door outside. They stared at each other in a daze, and Chen Tiecheng asked, "Who is it?"

Ji Jiao replied outside: "Uncle Chen, it's me, Qiao Ji Jiao."

Chen Tiecheng and his wife were dumbfounded, thinking to themselves that this Qiao Jijiao is really a god, so they just read her.

Chen Tiecheng hesitated for a moment, but he came over and opened the door for Kikyo, and stammered, "Qiao, Miss Qiao San, you, why are you here?"

Kikyo said: "Why is Uncle Chen so surprised? I know Uncle Chen so well, why can't I come over to sit at home?"

Chen Tiecheng was like a mirror in his heart, knowing why she came, stretched out his hand in the room, and said, "Come on, let's talk in the room."

Entering the house, Chen Tiecheng's wife hugged the child and rubbed against the kang, and said, "Aunt Qiao is here, sit down quickly."

Kikyo said: "Auntie, you're welcome, just call me Kikyo."

She didn't sit down while she was talking, but turned to look at the ghost knife that Chen Tiecheng was wiping, and said, "Uncle Chen, it will be dawn soon, and if you are going to be on duty, I won't talk to you." You go round and round, I'm here for my family."

Chen Tiecheng didn't dare to look at her, sat there with his head bowed, and said, "I know you must be doing it for this, but I can't help it. I'm a soft-spoken person, and I can't talk about such a big matter. If I cut off the top, I, I... oh!"

Kikyo said: "Uncle Chen, I know you are in a difficult situation, but you also know that my family has been wronged. If you just kill me like this, you will feel bad about it, right?"

Chen Tiecheng said: "I know that your family has been wronged, but if you don't want them to die, you have to go up and ask the people above to order not to kill them, so that their lives can be truly saved."

Kikyo said: "Of course I know this, but it's too late now. If I leave, my family will die, so now I have to find you."

"But as long as the order is issued from above, I have to cut it off, otherwise I will be punished if I disobey the order."

Kikyo said: "I know Uncle Chen is in trouble, but it's about the lives of my family. I have no choice but to ask you. When the time comes, you must be merciful and let me rescue him. If someone is saved, I can repay you whatever I want in the future.”

Chen Tiecheng said: "Actually, I don't want to kill your family, but if I really agree to you, wouldn't it be against the court, and my family will also suffer."

Kikyo said: "Don't worry, Uncle Chen, my family has been wronged so much, I'm sure I won't stop, even if I go to the emperor, I will sue this case, it may be difficult for you to help me at this time, but after I reverse the case, You are not only innocent, but also meritorious, and you will definitely be rewarded."

Chen Tiecheng thought for a long time, and said: "I don't care about rewards or anything, as long as my life and my family's life are saved, I will admit it, otherwise I will kill people like this, and my conscience will not let it go!"

Seeing that he agreed, Ji Jiao bowed to him happily and said, "Thank you so much, Uncle Chen. I have 3000 taels of silver here, and I will give it to Uncle Chen for emergency use. If anything happens, whether you take it for management or move to another place, you will be fine." Enough for a while."

Chen Tiecheng still wanted to decline, but Ji Jiao had already stuffed the banknote into his wife's arms.

Chen Tiecheng then accepted it, and said: "Miss Qiao, but we have agreed, I can only help you by not killing you, if you want me to help you rob the law field, then I will really do it." No, after all, the officials in the yamen are all my brothers, and I won't kill your family members, nor can I attack them."

Kikyo said: "Don't worry about that, no matter what I do, I won't hurt anyone's life."

After speaking, seeing that the sky had already brightened, he bid farewell to Chen Tiecheng and went out to prepare chariots and horses.

Chen Tiecheng made arrangements for his wife and children, and then went to the Yamen with a knife.

Huai De, the son of Lang County in the yamen, slept under the guard of the yamen servants in the middle of the night, and sent the yamen servants out until dawn. He and his concubine got up, washed up, had breakfast, and then talked about the beheading of criminals today.

There were too many people to be beheaded today, so he went to personally supervise the beheading, but after searching and searching, he couldn't even find the official document, so he had no choice but to stop looking for it for the time being, anyway, the magistrate's handwritten letter confessed, this man If you want to kill anyway, then kill first.

So he asked people to take all the dozen or so members of Qiao's family to the execution ground, and he himself took the master there, sat down by the execution ground, and was ready to beheaded as soon as noon came.
