Splendid Pastoral: Space farmers are good for farming

Chapter 404 Charges
Jiezhou City is the capital of the Dayu Kingdom. Although Jiezhou Prefecture Yin is only the chief official of Jiezhou Prefecture, he has the right to try cases from all over the country as long as someone sues him.

Did Qiao Mandun know about these things in person? He only knew that he was going to be arrested again, and this time he seemed to be taken to the capital. He panicked even more, and shouted while tearing up with the yamen who came to detain him : "Why do you want me to go? I'm not going to the capital! I haven't committed any crimes..."

The movement in the front yard was overheard by Jugen and Zanthoxylum who were tidying up the new house in the backyard. Zanthoxylum asked strangely, "Listen, third sister, is it dad calling?"

It was just warming up, and the three-layered Mingwa on the windows hadn't been removed, so it was impossible to see the outside situation clearly from the inside, so Kikyo just listened carefully, and said after a while: "Yeah, it seems that something happened again. , let's go back and have a look."

When the two came out of the back room, they saw a bunch of officials in the front yard, and Huajiao was surprised: "What's wrong?"

Kikyo didn't answer her, but ran forward quickly.

When the two ran back to the front yard, Qiao Mandun had already been shackled and held in hand by the officials, and was entering the house to find other people.

Ji Jiao stopped at the door and asked, "Magistrate Lang, what are you doing? Why are you arresting my father?"

After the last time, Lang Huaide finally knew that Kikyo is not an ordinary person, not only with magical means, but also with a great backer behind him, so even though he planned to catch Kikyo, he still didn't dare to go too far with her on the surface, forced a little smile and said: " Hehe, Ms. Qiao San, I was looking for you and you came here. You really understand our hard work. Let me first say sorry. Lord Yin's order is to take your father and you there!"

"The capital?!" Kikyo raised his eyebrows slightly, and immediately felt that Lan Xiangrong was responsible, because the old guy had gone there to seek refuge a while ago.

Thinking about it, he asked: "Then what is the charge that Mr. Fu Yin wants to arrest me and my father?"

"The charge is that your father persecuted his wife and stepson, expelled his disabled wife from the house and refused to support him, and you conspired with your father."

Kikyo was stunned when he heard the crime, thinking that it wasn't Lan Xiangrong, but Fang's?This woman's ability is really getting better and better, and she even knows to go to the capital to sue the officials, which is really unexpected!
Seeing that the platycodon was silent, Lang Huaide had a gloating smirk on his face, and said, "Hehe, miss Qiao San, it's not that Lang doesn't give you face, Master Zhao also ordered this time, let me escort you and your father to the Go to the Luoning Mansion, and then be escorted to Beijing by the Luoning Mansion, so this time I really have no choice but to!"

Grandma Qiao in the room knew what was going on when Qiao Mantun yelled before, and put on her shoes in a panic, and she didn't put them on until after wearing them several times, so she didn't open the door until this time.

Looking at her son who was locked again in the yard, and Platycodon grandiflora and Zanthoxylum bungeanum confronting Lang Huaide and the government officials, she asked in panic, "What's the matter? What's the matter again? Why are you arresting my second child again?!"

Kikyo hurriedly motioned for Huajiao to go over, and said, "Grandma, it's nothing serious, it's just a misunderstanding again, I'll go and clarify with dad and everything will be fine, but it's a bit far away this time, we have to go to the capital."

Grandma Qiao frowned and said, "Go to the capital? What's the matter? Why is it related to the capital?!"

Huajiao came to her side, supported her and said angrily: "It's not that bitch Fang, who actually went to the capital to sue my father, saying that my father and my third sister partnered to persecute her and drive her out of the house. Only the adults in the capital sent people to arrest him!"

Grandma Qiao was anxious and annoyed when she heard this, and said, "Why is this woman so vicious! Why doesn't she say what she did, and just say that we are wrong, and does she have a heart..."

Kikyo didn't want grandma to worry too much, so she said to Lang Huaide: "Master Lang, I can agree to go with you, but can I trouble you to let go of my father? We, father and daughter, promise not to run away, and go to the capital to tell the story Clearly, it doesn’t seem appropriate to hold us back in chains and shackles before we are convicted, right?”

Lang Huaide still had a smirk on his face, pulling the mustache on the corner of his mouth and said: "This... the government's case handling process is like this. As long as someone files a complaint, the defendant must be escorted to court."

Ji Jiao slowly approached him, and said: "My lord, there is no such reason in the world. If someone sues someone casually, the accused person will be taken away from thousands of miles away like a prisoner. If you have a grudge, you only need to go far to sue him, and when he is escorted all the way, most of the orders will be lost, and he will be reviled and misunderstood by others, which is worse than being in the nearest government. Happy, it can be said to be a unique move to harm the enemy, everyone can imitate it...My lord, do you believe that the laws of the Dayu Kingdom are not like this?"

Lang Huaide blinked his eyes and couldn't speak because of her question.

Kikyo walked up to him, "juggled" out a folded bank note in his hand, blocked it in the palm of his hand and handed it to him, saying: "My lord, you have seen it too, my grandma is seven or eighty years old." Man, you feel sorry for letting her worry there, don't you?"

Seeing something inexplicably coming out of her hand, Lang Huaide shivered involuntarily, recalling the scene when Kikyo was "haunted" in his home back then, his heart was filled with chills, he took the bank note and took a step back slightly, with his sleeve Covering the opening and taking a glance, he suddenly saw "one thousand taels" written on the bank note, his eyes lighted up slightly, he raised his scalp and said to Kikyo with a non-smiling smile: "It's easy to say, easy to say, since it's for taking care of the elderly mood, if you don’t lock it, don’t lock it, this county can trust Miss Qiao San’s character!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand at the guard and said, "Take off Qiao Mandun's shackles."

The guard responded and went over, undoing all the shackles on Qiao Mandun's body.

Kikyo came to Grandma Qiao with him, and Kikyo said: "Grandma, you don't have to worry, it's just a little thing, dad and I will be fine, you can stay at home at ease, we will come back when we get to the capital and explain clearly." , I will write a letter back and ask them to read it to you about the situation there."

Although Grandma Qiao had experienced many things in her life, when she heard that her son and granddaughter were going to be taken to the capital, she was still terribly worried, and said, "But that's the capital city, the officials under the Son of Heaven are not so talkative, if he What if you don’t believe me?”

Kikyo said: "Grandma, don't worry, no matter where the officials are, they have to be reasonable. Officials in less big places dare to arbitrarily judge the case. If that's the case... your granddaughter is not easy to bully, who do you compare to?" all know!"
