(Please recommend tickets for love, new week and new atmosphere, pay attention to energy!)
The magistrate frowned and looked at the three of them, one of the two women was at the bottom and the other was on top, wrapping the man tightly, he really couldn't understand: "Several, this is the yamen, you are making trouble like this, you are all Want to get kicked?"

Fang Xian said to Linger Yueru: "I'm fine, let go first, I'll reason."

Only then did the second daughter let go of Fang Xian timidly, for fear of hurting him.

Fang Xian wiped the blood from his mouth, and tried his best to straighten his back: "Master Zhifu, please allow me to speak the truth before hitting me."

The magistrate nodded: "Okay, I finally met someone who is reasonable. Please tell me what reasons you have."

Fang Xian asked: "Are you an honest official?"

The magistrate thought for a while and replied: "This government has its own self-knowledge. It is a bit worse than the previous people's 'clean wind with two sleeves facing the sky, without an inch of cotton from the south of the Yangtze River'. These two words are not worthy of it."

"Okay, no matter whether you are an honest official or not, you are at least a reasonable and good official." Fang Xian nodded slightly, showing respect.

This question and answer really made the magistrate feel a lot more at ease. In this world, it is too difficult to be an upright official. To say who is an upright official is like scolding someone for being ignorant. On the contrary, a middle-of-the-road vocabulary like "good official" is the most useful.

"Don't flatter me, just reason." Although the magistrate didn't smile on his face, he was no longer as angry as before.

Fang Xian turned his head and bowed to Ji Sanniang: "Sanniang, I told you, I'm sorry."

Ji Sanniang nodded: "Young hero, it's okay to say, this is the end of the matter, Sanniang admits it."

"Okay! This matter starts from many years ago..." Fang Xian cleared his throat, "Ji Sanniang's husband was a legendary..."

Fang Xian refined this story, added oil and vinegar, added the sadness of personal heroism, and interjected how difficult it was for Ji Sanniang over the years, how much money was distributed to the people, etc., and he almost cried when he said it bluntly .In the end, he talked about the chance encounter between his group and Ji Sanniang, Yueruo rushed to the crown to take the blame and so on.

After hearing this, the prefect was silent for a long time, then waved to the guards on the left and right: "You guys go down first."

The guard holding the board was very reluctant: "My lord... this board..."

"I will fight, you go down first."

"Yes……"

After the guards retreated, the prefect sighed and asked, "Sanniang, is your husband... Lord Lu Mulu?"

Ji Sanniang trembled when she heard the words, this was the first time she had heard this name mentioned by others in many years: "Unexpectedly, my lord knew my deceased husband!"

"Hey... I know, I know, who doesn't know the officials of the current court!" The magistrate shook his head, "It's too hasty, too hot-tempered, just like you, thinking things too simply."

Fang Xian felt relieved, sure enough, he saw the right person, the magistrate of Yangzhou seemed to be brain-dead, but he was a sensible person.

The magistrate asked: "Do you know why I use such a stupid method of closing the city to catch thieves?"

Fang Xian shook his head: "I don't understand. Since you are a smart man, why are you doing this?"

"I'm saving the thief." The magistrate rubbed his beard with a profound look, "I knew the female snitch was not alone, but a gang, otherwise it would be impossible to drive away the two magistrates."

"You still have this feat?" Fang Xian looked at Ji Sanniang with admiration.

"It's a trivial matter, it's nothing to worry about." Ji Sanniang whispered, "It's just stealing the money that those dog officials have been greedy for, stealing the money that those evil gentry want to bribe, cutting off their way of getting money and forcing them to run away."

Fang Xian turned his head and asked the magistrate: "Your Excellency, you also know?"

"Of course I know." The prefect laughed dryly, "The previous two prefects couldn't stop the snitches, so they had to apply for a transfer in order to make money. Da Nei took this matter very seriously, and originally planned to send six sects to settle the matter. ugly."

"Six doors? We also have six doors in Song Dynasty?" Fang Xian asked.

"Yes, but I don't act very cleanly. I only help the court with some darker things." As soon as the magistrate said something, he thought something was wrong and said quickly, "Don't say I said it."

"..."

The magistrate continued to explain: "If this matter is left to the six doors, San Niang, I'm afraid you are already dead by now, and even the children you adopted will be strangled to death."

Everyone gasped when they heard the words, this is ruthlessness, this is absolute power, and the Sisters of Thieves is not enough to watch.

"Of course, our government knows that the Snitch is dedicated to stealing ill-gotten wealth, robbing the rich and giving to the poor. This government can't bear it, so we came here. But Da Nei has an order. If the Snitch cannot be caught within a month, he will come through the six doors." We are impatient to deal with it, so we come up with this flattery." The magistrate smiled wryly, "Looking at it this way, it turns out that the Snitch is Brother Lu's widow, and it seems that this time he came at the right time. This must be the manifestation of Brother Lu's spirit in heaven! "

Ji Sanniang felt sad, grateful, and relieved when she heard the words. It seems that Lu Mu's death was not in vain. No matter how much, it still influenced some people in the court.

The magistrate changed the subject at this point: "From a righteous point of view, although what you did, San Niang, is not a big mistake, but you have violated the laws of the country, and you have committed a crime. This government cannot tolerate this. You should go to jail or go to jail."

Sanniang kowtowed and said, "I'm ashamed to say that my sister went to investigate your money tonight, but I didn't see any wealth in your house. My lord is indeed an upright official. May you benefit the people of Yangzhou. Sanniang pleaded guilty. "

"Well, that's very good, and our government can finally have an explanation to the court." The prefect's tone turned gentle again, "Don't worry, San Niang, for my brother Lu's sake, I will try my best to deal with it lightly. Sanniang will not be made to suffer in prison, and the family will take care of the children and girls in the house."

Fang Xian interrupted and complained: "My lord, as an upright official, how do you take care of such a large family?"

The magistrate smiled and pointed to the pearls in Lin Yueru's hand: "Eh? Our government has thoroughly checked Sanniang's mansion overnight, and only saw this string of pearls! All other stolen goods have disappeared!"

"Okay!" Fang Xian applauded in admiration, "Your Excellency is clear but not pedantic, you are really a good official, do you think our board is also..."

"There's no way, if you have to fight, you will fight, don't condone it." This seemed to remind the magistrate, and he shouted at the back hall, "Come on, continue!"

Several guards appeared in an instant.

The magistrate said with a casual smile to Fang: "However, this government thinks that you have contributed to solving the case, and allows you to take the punishment for this girl."

"Fuck, I thank you all!"

"kindness?"

"It's okay, come on, I'm thick-skinned, and the invincible NPC is mighty." Fang Xian said, pulling Linger over, and taking off the jade Buddha beads around her neck, "You don't want to feel better when I'm beaten, let's go together. "

"Etc., etc……"

So, Fang Xian put the jade beads on his buttocks and shouted at the guard: "Come on!"

Clap clap clap clap.

The guard must be upset. It used to be spanking a beautiful woman, but now it is spanking a big guy with a square face. I'm not happy.

Ling'er turned her head away, unable to bear to look any further.

Yue Ru kept watching silently with tears in her eyes. She finally understood that every time she got into trouble, it was not for nothing, and there was always a man who silently stood up for her.

Fang Xian gritted his teeth, trying not to groan.

There was only a wailing in a Zhengtai voice echoing in the hall...
