Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 17 A Petty Life Lawsuit
Wang Xiu kept comforting Youqin Moyan that he couldn't leave if a murder happened, otherwise he would definitely not be able to explain.

He didn't even look at the frightened rogues, he guessed that if Gao Sheng left the county with the red-robed man, if he could go east, he would probably be able to leave Chenzhou in less than two days, and it might be safe to enter Jingdong.

"Brother, I don't know how high. Can they hide?" Youqin Moyan didn't dare to look at the bloody corpse, his petite body was still trembling, and pulled Wang Xiu's sleeve.

"It's okay, it's okay." Wang Xiu gently held that soft little hand, the soft and boneless feeling was intoxicating, but there was no frivolity in his heart.

Youqin Moyan was panicked and anxious, so she took care of a lot and let her little hand be held by Wang Xiu. At this time, Wang Xiu gave her a sense of safety and comfort.

It took a long time before I saw a group of government servants in soap clothes walking over from a distance.

"What are you doing, what are you doing, get out of the way, out of the way."

A burst of yelling came from outside the crowd, and the greasy-haired and pink-faced slicker was overjoyed, and immediately stopped in his tracks and immediately went up to him. He just ran two steps away and turned his head to stare at Wang Xiu viciously.

Only then did Youqin Moyan realize that his hand was being pulled, his face turned red like an apple, he looked at Wang Xiu timidly, and waved his hand away.

Wang Xiu blushed, she really didn't want to part with the soft and beautiful feeling, but she had to let go gently, feeling a sense of loss in her heart.

Youqin Mo Yan glanced at Wang Xiu shyly with her beautiful eyes, which were delicate and charming, but the moment she turned her head, the light in her eyes suddenly changed, and she gouged out Wang Xiu's eyes fiercely.

Wang Xiu was taken aback, and couldn't help shivering. A woman's mind is really a headache, and it changes so quickly that people can't fathom it!However, he didn't have time to taste the woman's thoughts, and these officials didn't give him time to think about it.

"Who dares to commit murder on the street."

"Lu Dutou, you came just in time. It was Gao Sheng and Wang Xiu who killed people." Seeing a man dressed as a military officer bring four or five men in soap clothes over, his tone was unceremonious as if he had met a savior.

"How should I say it!" Wang Xiu's heart skipped a beat. The military officer from the security department came, and he might not be able to retreat unscathed.

Lu Du saw Gou San lying in a pool of blood for the first time, he couldn't die anymore, and immediately realized that it was a tricky matter. Gou San was used to running rampant in the county town, and he was considered a person, so he was hacked to death just like that. Lying on the street like a dead dog, even the magistrate will be alarmed.

Trouble, really trouble this time!He sighed unwillingly, his face darkened, and he said sharply: "What's going on, is there any law for killing people while making trouble in the street?"

Wang Fa?Wang Xiu felt it was ridiculous, Gou San and the others were rampant in the market, why didn't you talk about Wang Fa, and now you are talking about bird hair Wang Fa, it's a joke.

"It's this fellow, this thief and bird gang together with Gao Sheng killed Brother Gou." The greasy-haired and pink-faced Popi pointed at Wang Xiu tremblingly.

Wang Xiu looked at Lu Dutou playfully, without saying a word, her eyes full of disdain.

"Jie level, it's open for this guy to be on the street." Youqin Moyan blushed slightly, and he was too embarrassed to say that a daughter of his was molesting, and hurriedly changed his words: "They bullied my brother, Gao Sheng couldn't see it, he killed Gou San and left, It has nothing to do with my brother."

Let Wang Xiu secretly admire Youqin Moyan. I haven't seen it before. Youqin Moyan has an eloquent side when he is naughty. A good way, the murderer has escaped, if you have the ability, go after him!

The virtues of Gou San and his gang were naturally clear to Lu, and he secretly praised Youqin and Mo Yan, but his face was very gloomy, and he said in a deep voice, "Take all of them away."

The oily-haired and pink-faced Spike looked at Wang Xiu triumphantly, and said viciously: "Boy, I will make you look good later."

Lu Dutou stared, and said sharply: "What are you talking about, I'm not welcome to say one more thing, keep the scene and wait for me to come over."

Youqin Mo Yan's pretty face changed color, and she subconsciously grabbed Wang Xiu's sleeve again, making him dumbfounded.

. .

When they arrive at the county government, the county magistrate will naturally try the case. This is different from the judge in the film and television drama Song Dynasty. What kind of person is the county magistrate? Isn't the case nonsense?It is because of the death that the county magistrate can be allowed to come forward, otherwise a court escort will have to interrogate.

Youqin Moyan is a girl, but she still has to be interrogated.

The county lieutenant is a fellow Jinshi who is about forty years old. He has just been transferred from another county to serve for a year. His attitude is gentle, especially when he treats such a troublesome beauty as Youqin Moyan. Eyeing a few mischievous eyes, he said in a deep voice, "Are you sure Gao Sheng did it alone?"

Youtou Fenmian immediately yelled: "Master Mingjian, Wang Xiu and Gao Sheng are accomplices, and he also participated in the killing of Brother Gou."

Youqin Moyan raised his eyebrows, and immediately responded: "You are talking nonsense. It is clear that you are picking on my brother to fight back. Gou San came and wanted to attack again. Gao Sheng stepped forward. Gou San said it in public... What did he say that angered me?" It was Gao Sheng who rose up to kill him."

Wang Xiu cast admiring glances at Youqin Mo Yan, and said calmly: "My lord, Gou San once said that he hooked up with Brother Gao Wu's wife, and that's why Brother Gao Wu rose up to kill people. I'm powerless to stop them. Those businesses in the market, the neighbors can testify."

"He's talking nonsense."

"Enough, I judge the case, and I can still allow you to talk nonsense, come here, pull me down and beat me ten boards." The county lieutenant looked at the oily noodles with disgust, showing his official authority.

The two gentlemen came up like wolves and tigers, dragged the crying and struggling oily noodles away, and after a while, there was the sound of boards slapping the flesh, and there were bursts of screams.

Youqin Mo Yan's face turned pale, and he leaned towards Wang Xiu subconsciously.

The oily-faced noodles were dragged up like a dead dog, and thrown to the ground by the gentleman, with tears and snot all over his face, he cried, "My lord, spare me, spare me."

"Don't dare to talk nonsense again, and fight again." The county captain snorted coldly, glanced at Youqin Moyan intentionally or unintentionally, and said, "Wang Xiu, just now you said that Gao Sheng and a man in red go away?"

"Yes." Wang Xiu replied honestly, "From the looks of it, that person doesn't look like a Han family member. He has four followers, all of whom are tall and powerful."

"Oh, which side of the barbarians do you think he looks like?" The county lieutenant became interested.

Wang Xiu thought about it carefully, and said: "It should be the Khitan in the north, but they don't have braids or baldness, but their hair is tied down."

"The Khitan people are busy with civil strife, I'm afraid." The county lieutenant stopped his wild thoughts after a little thought. There are many Khitan people traveling to and from the Central Plains, so there is no way to be accurate, so don't waste your brain cells.

Lu Du nodded, "My lord, I believe they haven't run far."

"Yes." The county lieutenant nodded, and said to Lu Dutou: "Toutou, hurry up and send a village soldier, draw a portrait to capture Gao Sheng."

Lu Du headed away as promised, and the county captain looked at Wang Xiu again, and then set his gaze on Youqin Mo Yanqiao's face, and said softly: "You and the young lady go back first, and when I send someone to ask the neighbors, nothing will happen to you. .However, don’t run around after you go back, and you will come to ask questions if you have something to do.”

The Baojia method of Wang Anshi's reform has been completely preserved, and the neighbors supervise each other, and they are not afraid of people escaping.

Several poppis knelt there, but they didn't dare to make a sound, their greasy-faced and pink-faced faces were unwilling, and they wanted to speak but dared not.

Seeing their unwillingness, the county lieutenant sneered, "You guys provoked the incident, and Gao Sheng killed it. Wang Xiu hit someone with a shoulder pole in self-defense. Is it possible that you still want to stand up and be bullied by you?"

The few rogues dare not speak anymore, cooperating with those bad things, they can't hide it from the county magistrate at all, they are in charge of law and order, it's one thing to show face, and another to know it clearly.This county lieutenant has been in office for a year. Although he sold some face to Zhang Dashan, it doesn't mean he is blindly accommodating, and he doesn't take them rogues seriously.

However, they had a lot of dealings with the government office, and they wondered that the county magistrate had such a kind attitude today that he actually sent the client home and asked in such a frighteningly soft-spoken manner.

Since it didn't matter much, Wang Xiu and Youqin Moyan left the county office, which made him depressed and worried about Gao Sheng's fate, so don't be arrested by the government.

"Brother, do you think Brother Gao Wu can escape?" Youqin Moyan asked heartlessly.

Wang Xiu was speechless for a while, curled her lips and said, "I haven't bought rice or sugar yet."

"He helped you, but you didn't worry at all. You're really heartless." Youqin Moyan rolled his eyes, and didn't care about the courtroom at all, but instead accused Wang Xiu of being dishonest.

Wang Xiu rolled his eyes and said softly: "The big red-robed man is obviously not from the Central Plains. Judging by the guards around him, he is definitely a person with background. It is the fifth brother's fortune to be able to talk to this man. Besides, they all have horses. The peasants who are here will definitely not be able to catch up."

"That's all right. Brother Gao Wu came forward to kill someone for you. What if he gets caught?" Youqin Moyan heaved a sigh of relief, and gradually regained his senses.

Wang Xiu had a toothache, what does it mean to stand up for me, little girl, it's obvious that some rogues are molesting you, okay?He couldn't say the words, but he was still a little worried about the impact of these matters, and his qualifications for taking the test might be in crisis again.

Thinking of the test in October, he felt a little bit in his heart. It would be really bad if Zhang Qiyuan and Lu Tianshou talked about it.
