Huanxi Farm: Pick up a husband for farming

Chapter 45

As soon as Zhao Zhigao finished speaking, the two Rong brothers knelt down on the knees with a "plop", kowtowed, and shouted in unison: "My lord, I have a grievance appeal!"

Upon hearing this, the onlookers opened their eyes wide, for fear of missing any details.

On the other hand, Zhao Zhigao's old face turned red, and he scolded angrily: "It's a mess! If you have any grievances, you can go to the government office to beat the drums!"

Rong Qing raised his head and said loudly: "It is precisely because you, a dog official, disregarded the court's laws and regulations and did not relieve the people of their distress, we had no choice but to block your way!!"

Zhao Zhigao blushed with anger at his words, but due to the wrong situation, the Jiangzhou prefect was sitting behind him, and a long street was full of crowded people. In broad daylight, he really couldn't It’s easy to say some ugly words, but you have to remind yourself all the time in your heart that you must be open and aboveboard.

Master Luo Yijing knew how to read words and expressions. When the Rong family brothers came out, he could smell something wrong. Seeing his master wanting to get angry but holding back his anger, he was even more sure of his thoughts.

It's just that someone came out to speak for Zhan Kezhen before him.

"Tricksters! How can you be so arrogant! Even if the magistrate of Tongzhou is wrong in every possible way, you shouldn't block the way of the prefect!"

The person who spoke was Ouyang Shu, the teacher Zhan Kezhen brought with him on this trip. He is a typical literati, unable to hold a rice paddle in his hands, unable to carry a hoe on his shoulders, but he speaks with passion and arrogance, full of the arrogance of a literati.Even though he has passed the age of youth and vigor, he still can't change his straightforward temperament. He has been in the officialdom for many years. If it weren't for the protection of Zhan Kezhen and others, he might have been swallowed up by the black-and-white officialdom.

Rong Qing stood up with her hem lifted, her expression neither humble nor overbearing.With his extraordinary bearing now, he probably followed Wang Dong.

"Don't be angry, my lord. The reason why Rong and Brother Yu dared to stop this time is because they have heard about your reputation of being fair and honest. I hope that your lord can enforce the law impartially and not join forces with corrupt officials, and give justice to our Rong family!"

The onlookers talked a lot, and kept pointing to Rong Ming, who was kneeling in the middle of the road, and Rong Qing, who was upright and confident. The so-called watching the excitement is not a big deal, and some of them shouted at the top of their voices: "Don't just cry and complain. Injustice, you guys are talking about what kind of grievances you have suffered!"

The rest of the good people followed suit.

"That's right! Master Qingtian is here! Are you afraid that no one will make decisions for you!"

Seeing that the crowded official road was about to turn into a "court" for trying unjust cases, Zhao Zhigao was as anxious as ants on a hot pot - running around in circles, and Luo Yijing was also racking his brains, thinking about how to deal with the situation in front of him.

The official level crushes people to death, not to mention the eunuch still holds the military power, how dare these sesame officials dare to point fingers in front of the eunuch.Now that Ouyang Shu came forward again, Luo Yijing wanted to settle the matter, so he had to see his face.

"My lord, just wait and see what happens."

Hearing what he said, Zhao Zhigao had no choice but to stare at the two Rong family brothers with red eyes and itchy teeth, his resentful gaze was like a fire that would burn a hole in Rong Ming and Rong Qing.

Rong Qing knew that the direction of public opinion was already in favor of them, but the eunuch hadn't lifted the curtain to express his opinion, even if he held back his bitterness and wanted to pour it out, he had to hold it down for the time being.

In a flash of thought, Zhan Kezhen finally spoke.

He raised his hand and opened the curtain slightly, and asked sharply: "Since there is a grievance appeal, why hasn't the name been reported for so long!?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole street was in an uproar.From what this means, the prefect is going to try the case on the spot!
Everyone reacted differently, the two of Rong Ming sighed secretly, while the common people directly shouted "Master Qingtian is reborn".On the other hand, Zhao Zhigao and Luo Yijing both had dark faces, and Zhao Zhigao was so angry that he couldn't speak. He secretly hated why the prefect was so meddling. If he really found out something, The black hat is hard to protect, he will not spare Rong Ming and Rong Qing, these two villains who don't know what to do!
Rong Shui thought the timing was just right, so she winked at Rong Ming, who immediately followed Rong Qing and stood up with her head upright, and together with Rong Qing, told about the frame-ups she had suffered recently, saying that Rong Wan was almost taken away by someone The loss of chastity made those who heard it sad and those who listened to tears, and the common people were aroused sympathy. When Rong Ming and Rong Qing knelt down again and asked the prefect to be the master, they all raised their hands and shouted: "Please give them justice! Please give them justice, my lord!"

The sound of Zhi Tianxiang was even worse than the firecrackers that were set off before. Zhao Zhigao was so frightened by this scene that he shrank behind the sedan chair, only daring to poke his head out, as useless as a shrinking turtle.

Zhan Kezhen felt that it was almost time, he lifted the curtain and stepped out of the sedan chair, dusted off the dust on his body, with his hands behind his back, looking majestic and majestic like a judge from the underworld.

"Stand up, I have heard your grievances, Zhao Zhigao!"

As soon as he drank it, Zhao Zhigao was so frightened that he couldn't help but stand up timidly, not daring to look up into Zhan Kezhen's piercing eyes.

"The subordinate is here!"

"Tongzhou is under your jurisdiction. Now that such an unjust case has happened, why don't you decide for them!?"

"Damn the lower officials!"

"Just talk useless nonsense!" Zhan Kezhen gestured to the left and right patrols with his eyes, and the two of them immediately understood, and stepped forward to press Zhao Zhigao to the ground.

"I beg the eunuch to be careful, don't listen to what they say!" Master Luo Yijing flew over and landed on the ground, pleading bitterly: "My lord is a parent official who cares about the people's feelings and decides for the people! The eunuch should not listen to these yellow-mouthed children casually. This one-sided statement! Your Excellency has been conscientious since he became an official, and if there is any trace of corruption and breaking the law, the eunuch will deal with it according to the law!"

Zhao Zhigao hastily echoed: "That's right, that's true. I believe that I have always handled cases fairly and honestly. I hope the eunuch will be fair to me!"

The public says that the public is right, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is right.The two sides insisted on their own opinions, and Zhan Kezhen was not easy to be arbitrary. He cleared his throat and ordered him to go back to court for trial. It is not suitable to handle the case here.

The common people knew that there was excitement to watch, so they couldn't help but follow the sedan chair all the way. When they arrived at the government office, the outside was already overcrowded, with a group of gossiping spectators surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside.

Rong Shui also followed behind the crowd. She stood on tiptoe to look up, but was suddenly overwhelmed by the bustling crowd. She was anxious to know how the two brothers were doing and whether they would be stage fright in court. She was petite, and she had no strength, so she was crushed into a meatloaf when pushed a little.

There was a sudden lightness at the waist, and she was lifted high, and looking back, Jun Li was holding his peach eyes full of disgust.

"You put me down quickly."

"Put you down and you won't see anything."

Rongshui was a little ashamed and angry, she struggled a few times, but her strength was no match for Junli who had practiced martial arts for a long time.With so many people watching, Gu Chang'an and Duan Xiangrui were also watching her jokes from behind, Rong Shui couldn't help but struggled harder, and even kicked him.

"You are a good-hearted girl!" Jun Li reluctantly lowered her to the ground, ignoring other people's curious eyes, and stretched out his hand to pinch Rong Shui's face.

Rongshui blushed for a moment because of his actions. She had never been treated like this by a man in her life. Although she was only ten years old, she did so in front of others, which really made her A little annoyed, coupled with the broad daylight and the many people talking, Rong Shui felt as if his face was going to explode!
"Jun Li, don't make trouble anymore!" Rong Shui patted his hand away, suppressed all his shyness, and told himself silently in his heart, he is just a doll, don't worry about it!

"You girl, why are you talking like a grown-up with me!" Jun Li withdrew his slightly stinging hands from being patted, and said to Rong Shui, this little girl's hands are really strong!
"Look at the appearance of Zhao Zhigao, who usually shows off his might, but now he shrinks back in front of the prefect."

At this time, without waiting for Rong Shui to reply, the crowd beside him became tense, and the common people muttered, "This Master Qingtian is really a living Bodhisattva, I think the grievances of the young lady of the Rong family will be resolved!" '

It turned out that while she was fighting with Jun Li, everyone in the hall had already taken their seats, Rong Shui was a little anxious at the moment, so he went inside without hesitation!

"Oh, don't squeeze, you dead girl!" She bumped into someone carelessly, and the woman stared at a pair of small eyes and said to Rong Shui tirelessly. Go!

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Rong Shui just nodded to her and said a few words, then squeezed in again!care more
Jun Li was a little startled behind her, this little girl is also a bold girl with her small body, she is not afraid of being squeezed, thinking about it, he still feels sorry for this guy, walking three steps and two steps , walked to her side after a while, covered her with one hand, and separated her from the crowd.

At this time, Rong Shui didn't pay much attention to it, he just plunged into it, thinking in his heart that he was going in the right direction and there were fewer people. After a while, when the light was bright in front of him, Rong Shui wiped the sweat from his little face, and then slowly Looking up, I was taken aback when I suddenly saw the arm in front of me, and when I turned my head to look, I couldn't help feeling a little moved!

The ten-year-old boy was sweating profusely, carefully separating her from the crowd, and when she turned to look at him, he smiled at her again, Rong Shui only felt that this boy was unspeakably cute !

"My lord, Caomin, wants to sue Luo Can for colluding with the thieves Li Luzi and Zhao Zhuzi to kidnap my sister. That conscienceless Li Luzi, with a corrupt mind, wants to... still wants to..." Rong Qing choked up as she spoke, thinking The way my sister looked like when she was rescued back then, I couldn't stop feeling uncomfortable!

"If you have any grievances, please tell me in detail, and I will definitely return your innocence. How decent is it for a grown man to cry and cry!" Zhan Kezhen in the hall held the table in his hand, and said to Rong Qing below, frowning.

Rong Qing was a little shy when he heard what the prefect said, wiped the tears off his face and continued: "I never thought that Li Luzi would rape my family's Wan'er. Fortunately, we rushed to the rescue in time. I really can't imagine that a poor teenage girl is so thin that she can't get out of bed at this time!"

"Do you have a certificate?" Zhan Kezhen frowned tightly, and after listening to his words, he inadvertently disturbed Zhao Zhigao who was sitting next to him!
