Crossing the Qinghe Landlord gl

The hall was completely silent, Zhang He and the county magistrate couldn't recover for a long time.

Zhang He's heart was shocked, and his mind went blank for a while before he recovered.There were countless question marks in her heart. When she thought of being locked up in a prison and being tortured, she felt that the blood in her body was about to condense.

"No, I haven't done anything to cause disasters in the village!" Zhang He realized, she is a good citizen who abides by the law!

The county magistrate also came back to his senses, and he asked the county magistrate, "What's going on? Tell me carefully!"

The county magistrate took a breather and said: "A situational household named Li Xun in Qinghe Village got the news that Shi Canjun and Liu Canjun were arrested, so he reported to the state government office, saying that Zhang Erlang had been arrested before. He had a close relationship with Shi Canjun. Some people saw Liu Canjun, Shi Canjun and Zhang Erlang in close contact with Zhang Erlang in Sun Ning Zhengdian. He also said that Zhang Erlang joined forces with the two soldiers to force the people to buy grain and young crops, and let the county warehouse , The young crops and grain seeds in the state warehouse are moldy, using power for personal gain..."

The charges listed by Li Xun are indeed easy to be misinterpreted in the eyes of uninformed outsiders. Zhang He suddenly rejoiced that Shi Qing gave her money back then, otherwise would he be charged with bribing officials?But she really didn't expect Li Xun to slander her!

It's just that since Li Xun dared to tell the truth, no matter it is true or false, she will inevitably go to jail.And if someone intends to frame her, how can she prove her innocence?And who was it that saw her interacting closely with Shi Qing, Liu Canjun and others in Sun Ning Zhengdian?

"Is this how the government listened to Li Xun's one-sided words and wanted to arrest me?" Zhang He was depressed.

"Nephew Qing'an, don't worry." The county magistrate knew that Zhang He was innocent, but it wasn't just their mouths that could clear him of the crime. It still depends on how the state government handles the case.But right now, the government office of the state government is going to arrest people directly, and it is heard that Zhang He has a feud with Zhou Canjun, so he can't intervene, what should we do?

However, he was more familiar with judicial procedures than Zhang He, so he comforted Zhang He and said, "Don't panic. I also know some details about this matter, and the Yamen must not wrong you. What's more, you are an official household. You can also 'redeem'. Besides, before you are convicted, the jailer can neither torture you nor make things difficult for you at will."

One of the privileges of "yin redemption" official households is that even if the children of officials commit crimes, as long as they are not major crimes such as rebellion and murder, they can use money to redeem their crimes and reduce their punishment.

Although she knew that the county magistrate was a good word to comfort her, even if she could really escape punishment, she would leave such a stigma behind.Everything she has done so far will be overturned by this stigma, how can she not feel aggrieved?

Besides, when Shi Qing did these things, it was impossible to bypass the county magistrate. If the imperial court really wanted to investigate thoroughly, the county magistrate would also be implicated.Although he is acting calm and composed now, who can tell that he is actually flustered?

Suddenly, Zhang He remembered that Xia Jiniang was still at home, so he got up abruptly, and said to the county magistrate, "The younger generation's wife and children are still at home, so I have to go back first, and the younger generation can't ignore them!" She was worried that she would not be at home. Those who join the army will embarrass Xia Jiniang and the others.

And now, what should come will always come, she can't become a fugitive.It's just that I didn't expect that I was still worried about the problem of revealing my identity not long ago, and I would face it so soon, but she was not as nervous as I thought before...

"Wait!" The county magistrate ordered the county magistrate, "Hurry up and send the postman to Luoyang to deliver the letter to Zhang Shaoqing, and find someone to quietly inform the Zhang family, and send someone to keep an eye on the state government office..."

The county magistrate believed that although Zhang He was innocent, it was fearful that someone would be involved in it, and the reason why the governor would allow Zhou to join the army to arrest people must have had concerns.The current situation is more complicated than he imagined, and if he is not careful, he may get involved, so it is impossible to protect himself wisely, but to be prepared.

After Zhang He went out to the Yamen early in the morning and Zhang Xian also went to the village school, Xia Jiniang took Little Peanut to Aunt Li's house to let Little Peanut play with Potato.Seeing that it was almost noon, she was about to go back to make some lunch, but unexpectedly Li Jian'er ran over anxiously and said, "Miss is not well, the yamen servant came over and said he wanted to take the gentleman away!"

Shocked, Xia Jiniang handed the little peanut to Chen Hong, and said, "Could my cousin take care of the peanut for me."

Chen Hong didn't know what happened, so she could only respond. She watched Xia Jiniang leave in a hurry, thought for a while, picked up the little peanuts and potatoes, and ran to the field to call Li Qingshi.

Xia Jiniang and Li Jian'er hurried back home, and there were four or five yamen servants standing at the door, the leader was an official wearing an eight-rank official uniform. Xia Jiniang took a closer look, but found that it was Zhou who had met once. join the army.Beside Zhou Canjun was Li Xun with a treacherous face. He glanced at Xia Jiniang and said, "This is Zhang He and his wife."

Zhou Canjun couldn't remember Xia Jiniang anymore, but after Li Xun's reminder, he remembered that she was by Zhang He's side in front of the government office.He looked indifferent: "Where is Zhang He, call him out!"

"Why are the officials looking for her?" Xia Jiniang knew that something was wrong when she saw Li Xun, but she still stabilized her mood.

"It was revealed that he colluded with Shi Qing, Liu Zhiyun, etc. to seek personal gain and harm the village and the common people. Shi Qing and Liu Zhiyun have already been arrested and taken to Beijing, and Zhang He needs to be tried in the state government office, so let him go quickly come out?!"

"It's impossible!" Xia Jiniang's breathing became constricted.Li Xun showed a smug smile, and Xia Jiniang knew that he was the one who did the trick, but why Shi Qing and Liu Canjun were arrested?

"Hmph, come on, go in and search!" Zhou Canjun ordered.

"Wait!" Xia Jiniang hurriedly blocked the door. She knew that these two people were not against Zhang He. If they let them in, she might set some kind of trap to frame Zhang He.She must never let them in!

"Why, you dare to stop the Yamen from handling the case?"

"She's not at home!" Xia Jiniang said.

"Aren't you at home if you say you're not at home?" Li Xun challenged.

"She went out early this morning, and there are villagers to prove it!"

"Then we have to search for her criminal evidence, get out of the way!" Zhou Canjun scolded.

Xia Jiniang trembled from his fright, but she still stood at the door and said, "You said you want to arrest Erlang, so do you have a letter?"

In the process of arresting criminals, the yamen servants are not allowed to hurt people at will, so even Zhou Canjun dared not go up and touch Xia Jiniang.Zhou Canjun took out the ultimatum and said, "This is the ultimatum, read it clearly!"

Xia Jiniang didn't know what to do anymore, if Zhang He fell into their hands, there would definitely be no good fruit to eat.Even if Zhang He's innocence is restored in the end, her daughter may be discovered in the process...

At this time, she heard the sound of horseshoes and wheels rolling on the ground, and her heart beat wildly. She was worried that Zhang He had returned, so wouldn't it be right?

Thinking of this, Zhang He appeared in her field of vision driving a carriage, and she stamped her feet anxiously.But Li Xun, who noticed her abnormality, turned his head to look, and hurriedly shouted: "It's Zhang He!"

"Catch him!" Zhou Canjun gave an order, but the yamen guards did not dare to act rashly. After all, Zhang He was still in the carriage, and they would only be injured in the past.

Zhang He stopped the carriage and went straight to Xia Ji Niang. She said nervously, "Ji Niang, they didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"

"Why are you back now?!" Xia Jiniang gritted her teeth.

"I heard that they were going to arrest me. I was worried that they would embarrass you, so I came back. Anyway, if the matter is not investigated for a day, I will always be watched and arrested by them, and if I hide, it will appear that I have a guilty conscience .”

Xia Jiniang's eyes were sore, and she almost couldn't hold back the tears.It's just that Zhang He is fine right now, she can't be very anxious so as not to worry Zhang He.

"Zhang He, someone exposed you and—" Zhou Canjun opened his mouth, but Zhang He interrupted him angrily, "I see, what do you think?"

"You'd better come with us, and get out of the way obediently, let us go in and search!"

"Okay!" Zhang He pulled Xia Jiniang out of the way. Zhou Canjun was still a little unsure about her cooperation.After he walked in, Li Xun wanted to follow in, but Zhang He said coldly, "Who allowed you to come in, what are you?"

"You!" Li Xun was very annoyed, but he could only stand outside.

"And you—" Zhang He glanced at the servants who were about to move.

Seeing that they were doing well, Zhang He and Xia Jiniang took Zhou Canjun to the house to search for the so-called criminal evidence. Zhou Canjun searched for all the account books and letters.He didn't even spare Zhang Xian's room, but there was obviously nothing he wanted here, so he could only let someone take the account books and letters he found from Zhang He's room, and prepare to leave.

Zhang He told Xia Jiniang, "They dare not torture me, so don't worry about me."

Xia Jiniang gritted her teeth and responded, Zhang He said again: "If you have a chance, go and tell your mother that this is King Jia's eye on Uncle. And Li Xun accused me, if I am not guilty, he will falsely accuse the officials and face a lawsuit. Yes. So he must have done something else to convict me, you have to be careful recently..."

Zhang He gave a few hasty instructions before being taken away by Zhou Canjun.However, she is an official, and Zhou Canjun could neither put shackles on her nor be violent to her before she was convicted. He could only urge and threaten her to leave quickly.

Li Xun saw Zhang He was taken away, not to mention how happy he was, but because of Zhang He's identity, Zhou Canjun couldn't put her in shackles, it was a pity that he couldn't see her in a mess.

He was still puzzled by Liu Dashan's case, but later found out that Zhang He and Shi Qing were acquaintances, and he understood why Shi Qing knew about Zhang Hua.He has always held a grudge about this matter, but Zhang He's identity and status are there, and he can't help her.

Not long ago, when he received the news that something happened to Shi Qing, he was ecstatic, and a thought of revenge came to him spontaneously. He decided to expose Zhang He and Shi Qing as accomplices, and he should be imprisoned!After receiving his informant, Zhou Canjun took action as expected, not only went to the governor to get the letter, but also prepared to search for evidence that Zhang He and Shi Qing were accomplices.

He thought that God was helping him too, he only knew that Zhang He and Shi Qing knew each other, but he never thought that someone would also expose the fact that Zhang He and Liu Canjun also knew each other.It just so happened that there were witnesses to their dealings in Sun Ning's main store, and Tong Liyu had to ask Zhou Canjun to investigate thoroughly, so it happened that Zhang He had to be arrested for investigation to find out the whole story.

However, he still felt uneasy. After all, he only knew that Zhang He and Shi Qing knew each other, but he couldn't be sure if there was evidence of a crime...

After seeing Zhang He off for a while, Xia Jiniang saw that Zhou Canjun really didn't dare to do anything to her, so she went home ruthlessly and said to Li Jianer, "Hurry up and go to Zhangjiazhuang to bring news to Auntie..."

Aunt Li and Li Qingshi also got the information from Chen Hong and hurried over to find out the situation, after hearing Xia Jiniang's brief explanation, Aunt Li scolded angrily: "How dare Li Xun, that bitch, slander Brother Donkey? That's clearly what he did, how could he pour this sewage on Brother Donkey's head?!"

"That's right, when Xia Qiu was hit by the flood, he did a lot of unconscionable things, but Qing'an, how many people did he help!" Li Qingshi said.

Xia Jiniang thought about going to the prison, and if Zhang He was searched, what should I do?She didn't care about anything else, and said to Aunt Li: "I'm going to the yamen to take care of it, Auntie, please take care of Lu'er and Peanut for me!"

"No, let me go with you!" Aunt Li said.

"It's fine for me to go alone." After Xia Jiniang finished speaking, she turned and went back to the room to take out a lot of friends and put them on her body.

Aunt Li could only advise: "Then be careful!"

Aunt Li thought about it, and felt that it was still inappropriate, so she asked Li Qingshi to go to Li Qinggui to see if he could be of any help.Although Li Qinggui is not yet qualified to be an official, it is of course useless to find him, but if there are many people, he can always help pass the news.

The author has something to say: The judicial system of the Tang and Song Dynasties is very complicated, so it is simplified here. However, the children of officials do have privileges, so I won’t go into details here.
