People always think I'm a broken sleeve

High House.

After being dragged out of the yamen by the yamen servants, Gao An had no choice but to go back to the mansion embarrassingly.

At this time, Gao Yuan and Mrs. Gao were sitting in the official hall worriedly, with ugly faces.Gao An on the side was fidgeting and spinning back and forth in the official hall.

However, the former was because he was worried that Gao Chengyao would find Gao Fuqiuhou to settle accounts with them, while the latter was purely worried about how to rescue Huo Zun.

Mrs. Gao and Yuanwai Gao sat in silence without speaking, with solemn expressions.

The master didn't speak, and the servants waiting beside him didn't even dare to take a breath.

No one spoke, and the atmosphere was tense.

Gao An, who was circling back and forth, became more and more anxious as he thought about it. He suddenly remembered that when Su Bian tried the case today, the master standing beside Su Bian was Yan Ruyu.

His eyes lit up, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, Gao An excitedly said: "Father, I have thought of how to save Brother Huo!"

Gao Yuan raised the curtain and looked in Gao An's direction. Although he was not optimistic about Gao An's method, he still asked, "How to save?"

Gao An didn't even think about it: "The master standing in the hall today is the woman who tricked the child into the yamen last time. Logically speaking, the position of master can only be held by an adult man.

She is a woman, so it must be wrong.As long as the child sues this matter..."

Before Gao An could say anything, Gao Yuanwai cut him off.

Gao Yuanwai asked coolly: "Sue? Where do you go to sue?"

Gao An hesitated for a second, and said hesitantly: "Sue... sue to the prefect of Huaizhou..."

The first thing Gao An thought of was Huo Zun's father, Huo Chengyao, who was one level above Su Bian.

However, Gao An, who only knew how to flirt with girls before, still has too little knowledge, or he has never cared about the affairs of the court.

Got it.

The reason why Gao Yuanwai can be called Yuanwai is that he has seen many of them.

Gao Yuanwai immediately couldn't help laughing, "What's the use of reporting the matter of Ningxiang to Huaizhou? Ningxiang is not under the jurisdiction of Huaizhou, even if his prefect is a county magistrate, he can't intervene

Matters in Ningxiang County. "

However, although it is true that Huo Chengyao has no right to intervene in the affairs of Ningxiang County, the root cause is that the magistrate is still higher than the county magistrate.Then 'Zhuang Duxin' must belong to Huo Chengyao

In front of him, he respectfully called out to the magistrate.

Moreover, if Huo Chengyao was promoted from the magistrate to the governor on that day, the governor only needs to submit the document of the inspection to the capital, and after the content has been read by the sage, he can directly decide the county.

whether to remain in office or to be dismissed.

Therefore, what Gao Yuanwai never expected was that 'Zhuang Duxin' actually dared to interrogate Huo Zun, and even settled the case and ordered him to be taken to the capital for execution three days later.

Fortunately, Huo Zun has a magistrate's father, if he is a grassroots citizen with no status, Zhuang Duxin may lose his head on the spot after the case is settled.

Gao Yuanwai knew that Huo Chengyao would definitely not see his only son being sent to the guillotine in the capital by Zhuang Duxin like that, and he would never just sit and wait for death so easily.

This is second, the fundamental problem is that Huo Zun was arrested in their high mansion, according to Huo Chengyao's nature of revenge, he would never give them good fruit...

The more he thought about it, the more Gao Yuanwai couldn't help but miss the stupid official Zhuang Duxin who only needed a male pet to dismiss him.

I don't know what kind of strange medicine Zhuang Duxin has taken now. It's fine if he doesn't want a male pet, but he doesn't take it, and even started to file a case seriously.

It's almost like a completely changed person.

Gao Yuan felt angry, but Gao An on the side did not give up after learning that Huo Chengyao could not interfere in the affairs of Ningxiang County.

Gao An asked persistently: "Since Ningxiang is not under the jurisdiction of Huaizhou, where should we sue?"

Gao Yuan came back, "Cangzhou."

Gao An didn't even think about it, and immediately prepared to walk out of the lobby and go to the dormitory to pack his luggage and go to Cangzhou.

Before Gao An lifted his feet, Gao Yuanwai behind him poured a basin of cold water without hesitation, "Don't waste your time, the distance between Ningxiang and Cangzhou is not far, but the journey is very bumpy.

There is not only a section of mountain road, but also a section of waterway. It will take three days to reach the destination.It will take six days to go back and forth. In six days, your brother Huo's body may be dead sooner or later.

It already stinks in the capital. "

Gao An anxiously said: "Then what should Brother Huo do now? Is it possible to just watch him being taken to the capital to be executed? And the fact that the master in the hall today is a woman,

Can't it really be used as a fuss? "

Before Gao Yuanwai opened his mouth, Mrs. Gao who was sitting beside him couldn't bear it any longer. She slapped the table and said angrily, "What else can I do? It's the so-called murder for life. Since he killed someone, he must pay for his life!"

Gao An retorted, "But that's because the child provoked Brother Huo. If the child hadn't been naughty and threw a small stone at Brother Huo, how could Brother Huo strangle that child to death!"

Mrs. Gao's eyes widened, and she looked at Gao An in disbelief for a moment, "Throwing stones can kill people? Well, if the child is not throwing your brother Huo, but you Gao An,

Would you want to strangle him with your hands? ? "

Gao Anwen's words froze, and he shut up all of a sudden, and didn't say anything else.

kill?How dare Gao An.

Gao An didn't even dare to watch the cook in the back kitchen kill a chicken.

Gao An silently closed his mouth, and Mrs. Gao took a sip of the herbal tea next to her to calm her anger.

Mrs. Gao cleared her throat, and continued: "Don't worry about this matter, someone from the Huo family will come and rescue you, Brother Huo, from the prison."

Gao An was still worried, "But..."

Mrs. Gao interrupted him directly, "After your brother Huo comes out of the cell, you should stop communicating with him. Mother has heard that when your brother Huo was in Huaizhou, he

He likes to disregard human life, and cuts off other people's hands and feet for some trivial things.A few days before he left for Ningxiang, he actually knocked off a beggar who was just begging for money from him.

legs!Such a cruel heart, for the sake of my mother, there is no need to continue to have a close friendship. "

Gao An felt that he was in the wrong and didn't speak.

Probably because of the deep psychological shadow of Yan Ruyu, so she still broods over the fact that Yan Ruyu transformed into a master in the yamen.

As if seeing through what Gao An was thinking, Mrs. Gao said lightly: "Don't think about it, it's useless. Even if you report this matter to the Cangzhou prefect, so what? The Cangzhou prefect has no time to care about this

Trifles. "

After listening, Gao An had no choice but to give up this idea embarrassingly.

At the same time, Yan Ruyu's beautiful face suddenly became more terrifying in Gao An's mind.

On the other side, Huo Chengyao rushed to Ningxiang County with the most famous lawyer in Huaizhou.

Inside the carriage, the lawyer asked respectfully: "My lord, can you plead guilty in court?"

Huo Chengyao snorted, and replied without thinking: "If he had already pleaded guilty in court, then I wouldn't have invited you here."

As for the fact that once the defendant pleads guilty in court, as long as the confession is recorded, it will never be possible to overturn the case.

Remember clearly.

Of course, Huo Zun was even more clear about this matter.

Hearing this, the lawyer's voice paused, and then he smiled slowly at Huo Chengyao.

The lawyer said: "It's the grassroots talking too much."

Huo Chengyao asked: "How sure are you of this case?"

The lawyer spat out two words without hesitation, "Ten percent."

— As long as the defendant has not pleaded guilty, he can reverse the case.

The next day, Zhuang Mansion.

Su Bian was standing in the master book room, looking through the previous files.

Halfway through, there was a sudden knock on the door.Then, Bizhu's worried voice sounded from outside the door, "My lord, the magistrate of Huaizhou has arrived in Ningxiang County."

Su Bian didn't change his face, and asked instead: "Come to the Yamen?"

Bizhu shook her head and said, "Master Zhifu didn't come to the Yamen, but went to Chun... Chunfeng Restaurant. Moreover, Mr. Zhifu... seems to have brought a lawyer with him."

Su Bian paused, "I see."

Su Bian frowned, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart for no reason.

Looking at the densely packed files in front of him, he finally paused, put down the files in his hand, left the master registry room, and walked towards the cell where Huo Zun was imprisoned.

After passing through the house gate and the lobby, and walking for a short distance, he soon came to the cell.

On the left side of the prison entrance, two yamen servants sat on chairs with their backs against the wall, drowsy.

The two were half asleep and half awake, and they didn't even know that Su Bian had arrived in the prison.Until the former stood in front of the two with a blank face, the two seemed to feel something, and slowly opened their eyes

.

After seeing that the person standing in front of them was Su Bian, the two of them were startled, and hurriedly knelt down, "My lord."

Su Bian glanced at the two of them and said, "There's no need to make such a fuss, I'll just come and take a look and leave."

The two were taken aback for a moment, and then obediently said yes.

Su Bian walked into the prison, and then stood still in front of Huo Zun's cell.

Su Bian looked at Huo Zun, who looked leisurely and contented, who didn't look like he was in a prison at all, and couldn't help but frowned slightly.

Huo Zun in the cell looked at Su Bian who was standing in front of the prison door, raised his eyebrows and said, "Master Zhuang, why did you come here? Could it be... that his brain finally came to light, and he was about to let me out."

? ”

Su Bian ignored it.

After waiting for two seconds without any reply=response, Huo Zun's forehead twitched, and he couldn't help feeling a little angry.

But then, his heart moved, and he suddenly thought of something.

Huo Zun squinted his eyes, raised the corners of his lips, and asked slowly, "Could it be that... is it my father?"

Su Bian's expression moved slightly.

Although Su Bian's expression changed very slightly, Huo Zun still noticed it.

Huo Zun laughed and said: "I already know! Master Zhuang, you should keep your dog eyes wide open and watch carefully, to see how I got out of this yamen!"

Su Bian stared at Huo Zun silently for a few seconds, with a cold face, turned and left the cell without saying a word.

Behind him, Huo Zun's insolent laughter resounded throughout the cell.

At this time, Huo Chengyao was there.

After a day and night of traveling, Huo Chengyao finally arrived in Ningxiang County at Shenshi the next day.

But after arriving in Ningxiang County, Huo Chengyao wanted to go to the yamen to see Huo Zun first, but was stopped by the lawyer.

The lawyer said: "My lord, there is no rush to meet the young master. The most important thing now is to clarify the whole case. Only when the case is clarified, then we will know what to do.

How to reverse the case for the son. "

When he was stopped, Huo Chengyao was about to get angry, but after hearing what the lawyer said, Huo Chengyao's anger also slowly subsided.

That's right, as long as the case is overturned, when is it not time to meet that unscrupulous son who will only cause him trouble?

The servants who accompanied Huo Zun to Ningxiang County had already waited on the main road where the carriage must pass. When Huo Chengyao's carriage appeared, the servants immediately went up without thinking.

Front shouted: "Master!"

The carriage stopped slowly, and Huo Chengyao lifted the curtain and looked out. After seeing that the people outside the carriage were the servants who accompanied Huo Zun to Ningxiang before, Huo Chengyao ordered the driver to say:

: "Slow down."

Outside the compartment, the coachman replied respectfully: "Yes, sir."

Then, Huo Chengyao asked the servants who were following the carriage in a cold voice, "Were you there when the incident happened?"

The servant quickly replied: "Back to the master, the young master went to the restaurant with Mr. Gao on the day of the incident, and did not bring the young one with him."

Due to the limited size of the note, only the reason why Huo Zun was imprisoned and who was the person who tried the case was written on the note, so other things were not written on the note.

... Restaurant?

Huo Chengyao raised his eyebrows, and was about to ask again, when the lawyer sitting on the side of the carriage suddenly said: "My lord, time is running out, I have to rush to the restaurant right now, and I'm going to trouble you to send Mr.

And please go to the restaurant. "

Huo Chengyao knew that the lawyer wouldn't just say these things casually, so he didn't ask for any reason, and turned to look at the servants outside the carriage, "Which restaurant is it?"

The servant replied obediently: "Master Hui, this is the largest Spring Breeze Restaurant in Ningxiang County."

Huo Chengyao understood, and immediately ordered: "Go and invite that Mr. Gao."

The servant replied, "Yes, sir."

Huo Chengyao turned his head and said to the driver outside the carriage: "Turn around and go to Chunfeng Restaurant."

The driver outside the carriage answered yes.

Gao Fu Department.

The news of Huo Chengyao's arrival in Ningxiang reached the Gao Mansion not long after.

Before learning the news, Gao Yuanwai and Mrs. Gao were still admiring the flowers leisurely in the East Garden.

Then he became distraught.

Mrs. Gao panicked and said: "Then Huo Chengyao will come to the door soon... Husband, what should I do?"

Gao Yuanwai sighed, his helpless expression seemed to have resigned himself to his fate, "He presides over the sky with one hand, if he wants to trouble our Gaofu, isn't it just a matter of his fingertips?

It's just that you told An'er not to hang out with that kind of dubious people in the future..."

After finishing speaking, the servants rushed over in a hurry.

The servant said: "It's not good, Mrs. Huo, people from the Huo Mansion are here!"

Gao Yuanwai and Mrs. Gao's eyes darkened.

The two came to the official hall together with the servants with heavy faces. After seeing that the person standing in the official hall was not Huo Chengyao himself, but the servant who had come with Huo Zun before, they couldn't help but

relieved.

Before Gao Yuanwai could speak, the servants of the Huo Mansion at the side spoke first and said: "Our master asked the younger one to invite your son to come over, and I hope Mrs. Gao will agree."

Master Gao and Mrs. Gao, who thought they were coming to trouble Gao Manor, were stunned at the same time.

Master Gao asked inexplicably: "What did your master ask me to do in the past?"

The servant shook his head, and replied respectfully: "I don't know, the master just told me to come and invite your son to the restaurant, and I didn't say anything else."

Hearing the word "restaurant", Mr. Gao instantly understood.

The incident took place at the Spring Breeze Restaurant, and An'er was the witness who was with Huo Zun the whole time when the incident happened.

Now they don't come to trouble Gao's mansion, but send a servant to invite Gao An to the restaurant. It's self-evident what the intention is.

There is only one answer, and they are obviously trying to overturn the case.

If the case could be overturned, Gao Yuanwai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If Huo Zun was really escorted to the capital to be executed, then the Huo Mansion would definitely settle the score with Gao Mansion Qiuhou.But if the case is overturned, even if the Huo family will still find them to settle the score, no matter what

, and it should always be hundreds of times lighter than the former's settlement after autumn.

After thinking about it, Master Gao waved his hand and ordered the servant girl behind him: "Go, invite the young master here."

The maid bowed, "Yes."

At this time, Gao An was bored in the room, desperately thinking of a way to rescue Huo Zun from the prison.

But Gao An's head only knows how to eat, drink and play, even if he wants to break the sky, he can't think of a way out.

But the only way was rejected by the mother.

Thinking of this, Gao An couldn't help becoming more and more depressed.

While feeling bored, a servant girl's voice suddenly sounded outside the door, "Young master, my master invites you to go to the official hall."

Gao An was annoyed, "I'm not in the mood, don't go!"

The servant girl was in a dilemma, "Master, if you don't go, the servant girl will have no way to explain to the people in the Huo Mansion...Young Master, you can do it..."

When the word Huo Fu came out, Gao An was agitated, rushed out of the room, and said excitedly, "Brother Huo's people?"

The servant girl was taken aback for a moment, and then obediently said yes.

Hearing this, Gao An instantly swept away the stagnation and depression just now, and said with a laugh: "It must be people from the Huo Mansion who came to save Brother Huo! Haha, Brother Huo is saved!"

This time, there was no need for a maid to lead the way, Gao An quickly trotted towards the direction of the official hall.

The Gao'an man was tall and burly, and after running a few steps, he quickly arrived at the official hall. When he raised his eyes, he saw the servant standing in the official hall, who had accompanied Huo Zun to Ningxiang before.

The servant looked at Gao An and said respectfully: "Our master invites Mr. Gao to come to Chunfeng Restaurant."

Hearing the word master in the mouth of the servant, Gao An was startled.

Gao An thought that the person who came to Ningxiang to rescue Brother Huo was either the person in charge of the mansion, or someone else.Unexpectedly, Huo Zun's magistrate father would come out in person.

The magistrate actually wanted to summon him in person, Gao An couldn't help but get excited when he thought of this.

Gao An excitedly said without even thinking about it: "It's not too late, then go see your master now!"

The servant turned slightly to make way for Gao An, "My lord, please."

Madam Gao behind her watched the back of Gao An and the servants of Huo's family leaving together, and said worriedly: "Husband, do you think nothing will happen again this time?"

Gao Yuanwai sighed, "I hope the case can be reversed smoothly, and nothing will go wrong."

Spring Breeze Restaurant.

The Spring Breeze Restaurant, which used to be bustling and bustling with business, is now deserted with few customers.

A child died in front of the store, no matter how you say it, it is an unlucky thing.Not to mention going in for dinner, even if someone passes by here, they have to make a detour for fear of getting caught.

It's bad luck.

Overnight, Chunfeng Restaurant changed from a prosperous restaurant to a restaurant with the most bleak business.

There is no one to take care of the business, as the shopkeeper of the restaurant, he has no intention of eating.The shopkeeper of the Spring Breeze Restaurant, who hadn't eaten or drank for half a day, sat slumped in front of the store, his face pale.

Several waiters in the store tried to persuade him, but they failed twice.

Just when the waiter in the store was about to persuade him a third time, a carriage slowly stopped in front of the store.

The clerk and the shopkeeper were taken aback for a moment, and when they looked up, they saw an imposing middle-aged man getting off the carriage, and behind the middle-aged man, a handsome man holding a paper fan

The youth also jumped out of the carriage together.

Just when the waiter and the shopkeeper were wondering who the visitor was, a servant who looked like a servant standing beside the carriage said, "Master, this is the Spring Breeze Restaurant."

Huo Chengyao said kindly, and stepped into the shop.

The lawyer who followed Huo Chengyao said to the servants behind him without turning his head: "When the case was tried that day, the county magistrate summoned everyone to the court, and called them to me one by one."

The servant answered yes, and then, without hesitation, turned his gaze to the waiter and shopkeeper who were stunned aside, and said, "Shopkeeper, Xiaoer, please."

The face of the shopkeeper and the waiter who was summoned to the court that day turned pale.

If you don't know who the person is this time, you've lost your mind.

The two rushed to Huo Chengyao tremblingly, knelt down immediately without thinking, and called out tremblingly: "Master Zhifu is here, and the little one has never greeted you from afar.

Forgive...forgive me! "

Then, the shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, do you want to be top-notch or stay in the shop? If you want to drink, there is a 20-year-old girl in the shop..."

Huo Chengyao waved his hand impatiently and interrupted her, "I'm not here to be a top student or stay in a hotel."

The shopkeeper stammered, "That... that is..."

In the next second, Huo Chengyao turned his head to look at the lawyer beside him, and said, "Let's start asking."

The lawyer responded, "Yes, my lord."

Then, the lawyer slowly waved the paper fan in his hand, stepped forward, and asked, "What did the county magistrate ask in the hall that day, and what did you say... [-]

Explain everything to me.If one sentence is false... at your own peril. "
