Splendid Pastoral: Space farmers are good for farming

Chapter 426 The Plan Does Not Change Fast

Fang screamed: "No, my lord! Absolutely not! I was killed by them there! If I send it back again, the county magistrate will definitely be with them again, and I will have no way out." ..."

Liu Ju didn't wait for her to finish speaking, grabbed the gavel and slapped it hard, saying: "Shut up! You foolish woman, you actually said that the imperial court ordered officials to collude with others, and this is used to slander officials and despise the imperial court! I think you are ignorant I will not argue with you for the time being, but if you continue to talk nonsense, I will definitely not forgive you!"

"No, it's not, my lord! Their family really bribed the magistrate of Linzhao County, it's not my nonsense..."

Liu Ju was secretly annoyed, how could this woman be so ignorant, she deserved to die like this!
He was angry here, thinking that he might as well just settle the case by himself and let the beggar girl go where she likes.But at this time, Xiao Wuzi suddenly stood at the door of the back hall and beckoned to himself, as if he had something to say, so he had no choice but to call him over.

Little Wu Zi came to him, leaned into his ear and whispered, "My lord, Master Hu is here."

Liu Ju pursed his lips, thinking that this guy must know that he had arrested Lan Xiangrong, so he came to see him. It's just that it's not easy for him to handle this case, and he might not be able to judge his case casually.

But when the person came, he couldn't see him, so he turned his head and said: "I want to retreat to consider the case, you should get up and wait."

After speaking, he got up and left the lobby, and walked to the back.

Qiao Mandun and Fang's didn't know what was going on. Before, Platycodon grandiflora was still happy, thinking that the ginseng tree was really useful, so they bought Liu Ju immediately.But when she saw Liu Ju's expression when she went out, she faintly began to worry again, feeling that things were about to change.

When Liu Ju came to the back hall, he saw Hu Minghan waiting for him here.

Although Hu Minghan's official position is not as high as Liu Ju's, he is a character who specializes in playing tricks on others. He can find fault with anyone who doesn't like him, and sue him in front of the emperor, so no one dares to provoke him easily.

Seeing Liu Ju come in, he stood up from his seat and said, "My lord Liu, did you really catch Lan Xiangrong?"

Liu Ju nodded helplessly and said: "Yeah, I'm also embarrassed about this matter. I really didn't expect that he would offend the son of the Tang family in Ranglan City. He came to me to sue him, and even brought someone to see him personally." Catch, do you think I can not catch it?"

Hu Minghan rubbed his hands anxiously, and said: "Oh, but it's true, I didn't go home until midnight last night, and his servants were waiting for me in the mansion until midnight, and told me about it, I can't help it! After all, The uncle of my daughter and son-in-law, I can't do anything about it, so I came to my lord early today, please forgive me, and find an excuse to let him go, otherwise I really can't do anything when I see my daughter and son-in-law say something!"

Liu Ju pulled him to sit down, and said, "Master Hu, I can't be released. After all, he has a case in hand, and that boy surnamed Tang is not easy to mess with. If I release Lan Xiangrong, he will definitely let him go." Don't give up, but don't worry, Lan Xiangrong will definitely not be able to bear the slightest grievance here, I didn't even imprison him, treat him like a guest, except that he can't leave the government office, everything else is fine..."

Then he turned his head and told Xiao Wu Zi, "Go, you go and invite Lan Sanye here and let him meet Mr. Hu."

Little Wu Zi hurried out and brought Lan Xiangrong in after a while.

Before Lan Xiangrong came in, he had already heard what Xiao Wuzi said. Hu Minghan came to see him, and when he entered the room, he saluted Hu Minghan and Liu Ju, and said, "My lords, I am really sorry for making you both worry about my affairs!"

Liu Ju waved his hand to motion him to sit down, and asked him to tell Hu Minghan what happened in the mansion.

Lan Xiangrong praised Liu Ju all the time, and Hu Minghan was relieved, and the three of them sat together and chatted.

Lan Xiangrong asked: "Master Liu must have opened the court to try the case of Mrs. Fang and Qiao's father and daughter?"

Liu Ju had a headache, but he still smiled and said, "Yes, it's under trial."

"So how's it going?"

Liu Ju wondered: "This... oh, Mr. Lan, it's not that I don't help, it's just that the evidence of the woman's crimes is solid, and now it's hard for me to overthrow it!"

Lan Xiangrong also heard some rumors, and knew that Lan Jinfang came last night, and it was probably because of Liu Ju's favor, which made him unable to do it today.

Thinking about looking at Hu Minghan.

Hu Minghan knew what he meant. When Lan Xiangrong came, he brought his daughter's handwritten letter. He knew that his daughter and son-in-law's status in the Lan family had plummeted, and they might be involved in the death of his in-laws, so he thought wholeheartedly. Help my daughter and son-in-law get rid of Lan Jinfang, let the son-in-law take charge of the Lan family, so work extra hard.

Seeing Liu Ju's unwillingness to help, he quickly said: "Master Liu, I know you are in trouble, but it's not impossible, but you can think of a way and try your best. The official's daughter and son-in-law will all be grateful to you, and Mr. Lan, he will definitely not let you help for nothing."

Liu Ju was forced by them to have no choice but to say: "Okay, then I'll try again, I just hope they won't move out any backstage, if someone else gets involved, then I really can't play favoritism anymore No matter what, the lower officials can’t make fun of the black veil on their heads, can they?”

Hu Minghan knew that Liu Ju's favor was not easy to ask for, and said gratefully: "Yes, yes, this subordinate knows, please leave everything to Mr. Liu, please!"

Liu Ju had no choice but to leave and the two went back to the lobby again.

At this time, Jijiao, Qiao Mantun, and Fang Shi had already waited until they were about to fall asleep, and the officials also thought that the interrogation might not continue today, and they were thinking whether they should go in and ask for instructions, and put Jijiao and Qiao Mantun in custody first. Go back to the post house and ask Fang to leave the government office first and come back another day.

Seeing Liu Ju come out, the yamen servants cheered up quickly, and stood on both sides of the lobby again, letting the Jijiao father and daughter and the Fang family go back to their respective positions and be promoted to the hall again.

"Um... where did we go during the interrogation?" Liu Ju asked, looking for his ears.

The master reminded in a low voice: "Your Excellency said that the case should be sent back to Linzhao County and let them try it themselves."

Liu Ju frowned and rubbed his eyes, thinking yes, I thought so before, but now I can't, if I go back to Linzhao County, maybe the old man surnamed Lan will turn against him and give him If he wants to go back with his money, it will be easy for him to do it alone, but Hu Minghan will be the worst.

Thinking about it, he said, "Oh, that's just what I just said casually. If Linzhao County had the ability to handle this case, they wouldn't have come to Jiezhou Prefecture."

Fang was overjoyed when he heard this, kowtowed on the ground, and shouted: "My lord is wise, my lord is wise..."

Liu Ju curled his lips in disdain, thinking that I didn't withdraw this order for you, so what are you talking about!It's just that I really need your confession now, otherwise I won't be able to attack the father and daughter.
