female concubine

Soon, the news that Qishan county magistrate and Qishan county magistrate Bo's daughter spent one night alone in the meditation room spread throughout Qishan county in just a few days. Have an affair in private.

The banquet hosted by Liu Jiaben at the Dragon Boat Festival was also canceled because of this rumor, which aroused suspicion from others.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, listening to the accusations from outside, Little Six didn't believe it anyway, "Ah Lang can't come back, why did he go with that Miss Liu again?"

The person who was forced to leave the house frowned deeply, "I always feel that there is something wrong with this matter. No wonder someone has been following and monitoring the Yamen recently. It turns out that someone deliberately arranged this out to frame me."

Little Six scratched his head, "But isn't Miss Liu's reputation bad? She is a married woman, and you are already married."

"I didn't expect that the simple and honest people in Qishan County would believe these rumors and refuse to listen to explanations..."

The yamen servant trotted all the way to the gate of Houya's house and shouted, "Wei magistrate, news from Liu's house, Miss Liu sent a letter to Wang Xiucai's home in Fufeng county, but she didn't get a reply from the scholar, so she was forced to almost commit suicide."

"Magistrate, Master Liu is here, and I am anxious to see you."

The King of Chu took the cloak in the hands of the little six sons and put it on, and walked out from the back office, "Misfortunes never come singly."

Liu Shubo wrinkled his old face, and when he saw the King of Chu came out, he stepped forward and knelt down, "I beg Wei Zhixian to save the little girl, otherwise her life will be ruined."

"Boss Liu, don't you know what I and your daughter are like?"

"The lower officials know about it, but the common people don't know it, and they don't believe it. Now that the little girl is trapped at home, she can often hear people outside criticizing her. The most important thing for a woman is her reputation. The lower officials know that the magistrate of Wei is from the capital. I don't like people in our small place, but..."

"Master Liu's words make this official difficult," she helped Liu Shubo up, "Don't worry, I am not as good as you in governing the state and counties, but I can still investigate and settle cases. Ling Ai is innocent, before that, please ask Master Liu Bo Duoduo to enlighten her, don't let her do stupid things."

Before Liu Shubai could answer, a group of soldiers broke into the lobby of the yamen. The prefect of Fufeng and the prefect of Fengxiang both came, and they brought soldiers from the state capital.

"Arrest this murderer!" Fengxiang Zhifu pointed at King Chu's prestige.

"Murderer?"

The officials of the Qishan County Government Office and several followers of the King of Chu surrounded him to protect the King of Chu.

Liu Shubai was shocked and said: "Did the two magistrates make a mistake? This is the Qishan county government. How could our county magistrate be the murderer?"

"The number of times the government has come here, don't you know that this is the Qishan County Government Office?"

Fufeng County is the sub-government of Fengxiang Mansion, and Qishan is under the rule of Fufeng. If something happened, please ask Master Liu to find the transfer envoy on Qinfeng Road for me."

"Liu Shubo, you probably don't know yet, this gentle and gentle magistrate is actually a murderer who covets your daughter-in-law, and the scholar who made a marriage contract with your family has already been beaten to death by him. The scholar's brother and sister-in-law came to report the case today. The magistrate of Fufeng County sent people to check the house for traces of fighting, and the autopsy showed that he was injured by a blunt object."

Looking at the ugly face of the prefect Fengxiang who is potbellied, the little six sons were very dissatisfied and said: "Only based on these, can you conclude that it was my Alang who did it? You..."

"This government has said that meritorious deeds will be rewarded, but if there is a mistake, this government will not cover up. Human life is at stake. Before the case is clarified, please ask Wei Zhixian to come with this government."

Even the soldiers from the state capital have been mobilized. This formation is clearly intended to take people. If there is no fear of bloody swords facing each other, "you should disperse."

Several soldiers stepped forward, the king of Chu glanced at Liu Shubo, and immediately said to the soldiers: "I will go on my own!" Several soldiers were frightened by her momentum and withdrew their hands.

"The relevant people will be taken away together."

Coming out of the county government office, the magistrate of Fengxiang sat back in the sedan chair, and the magistrate of Fufeng followed on horseback, "Enfu is wise, after the matter is completed, I will thank you with a great gift."

"This is the meaning of His Royal Highness and Enxiang. Otherwise, because Wei Qian is an official from the capital, it is really difficult for the government to take him casually. Since Enxiang has agreed, he must have offended him in the capital." many people."

"This kind of person who doesn't know how to praise is so bold that he dares to commit murder. Fortunately, he is still the head of a county, and it will be a disaster if he keeps it."

After the prefect of Fengxiang took the King of Chu and all his followers away, Liu Shubo said to the servants on the left and right: "Hurry up and send someone to Cao Si to find Qin Feng's transfer envoy."

The yamen servant was puzzled and panicked and asked: "Transfer envoy?" The officials of the state government went up one level at a time, and the transfer envoy was the highest chief executive along the way.

"I don't know if you ask me, but since the county magistrate said so, I think they must know each other. Go quickly."

"Yes."

The magistrate of Fengxiang was leaning on the sedan chair, opened his eyes suddenly, remembered the reminder in the letter, raised the curtain of the sedan chair and said: "The thieves have been infested recently, send troops to control all the gates of Fengxiang Mansion, if any suspicious person wants to leave the city, they will be arrested."

"Yes."

After the magistrate of Qishan County was taken away by the prefect of Fengxiang, Qishan began to spread rumors again, most of which were to slander Wei Qian for killing someone because of jealousy. Because it was not long before the rumors spread, most people believed them to be true.

"Do you remember how to sing?" A young servant was handing out a handful of candied haws to the children beside him.

"remember."

"As long as you sing well, there will be tomorrow."

To the east of Qishan is Fufeng County, and now there is no cockfight in Zhang's house. The eldest son of County Magistrate Zhang sat in the room with a worried face twisted, rubbing his hands from time to time and fidgeting.

Someone was guarding the door of the house, and the door was locked.

A green robe over fifty years old walked in and said with a straight face, "Open it."

Two young servants opened the lock, and the green robe walked in with hands behind their backs.

"Father, daddy, has this matter been resolved? My son was looking for a chance for a long time before he was caught alone."

Qingpao was originally full of anger, but when he saw his son's smirk, he sighed and sat down helplessly, feeling very sorry for the money he gave, "The property of the Liu family was not obtained, and the magistrate paid thousands of taels of silver instead. "

"How do you know that Wang Xiucai is so careless? It's also careless."

The magistrate of Fufeng sighed softly, "From the magistrate's tone, this county magistrate surnamed Wei should have offended the higher-ups, and I'm afraid we can't escape this crime."

"Who told him to mess up my business, he deserves it!"

The magistrate of Fufeng grabbed his son's ear, "If you learn well and don't fight cocks all day, people will dislike you and refuse to marry their daughter to you?"

"Dad, dad, it hurts."

The magistrate of Fufeng let go of his hand, "Don't go out until the matter is resolved."

"Understood, father." Zhang Dalang touched his red ears, "The magistrate of Fengxiang is so greedy, isn't he afraid of failure? Didn't father say that His Majesty hates corrupt officials the most, so you dare not..."

The magistrate of Fufeng stared at him coldly, "The magistrate's superior is the grand master sitting in the government affairs hall of the imperial court. He is the head of the country and the grandfather of the prince. He is naturally not afraid."

In the yamen of Fengxiang Mansion, Xiucai's widow and several common people accused Qishan County magistrate of committing a murder. The dead bodies cover up their tracks.

The lower prison of the local yamen is much more gloomy and dark than the upper prison where the imperial court imprisoned the clan and ministers. There are many lynching instruments hanging on the walls, and it is chilling to look at from a distance.

A few days later, a prison guard came to deliver food.

"I warn you, my family, Alang, is a disciple of the Son of Heaven. He has a great reputation and was appointed by the government to be an official in Qishan. If you dare to hurt him..."

"Hey, are you still a disciple of the Son of Heaven? Why are you so proud when you enter this dungeon? Let me tell you, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. When you get to the place, who would dare not listen to the words of the prefect? ​​I have been working here for so many years. Ninety percent of the people who came in went out sideways, I advise you to save your energy, maybe say a few good words, let the magistrate show mercy and leave a whole body."

Little Six glared at the guards angrily, and then returned to King Chu, "They are too unreasonable, they were thrown into the dungeon without even giving an excuse in the courtroom."

The King of Chu looked at the shackles on his hands and feet. Prisoners often wore them in Dali Temple for a few months. She didn't know how heavy they were, and said with a trembling smile: "Actually, Your Majesty knew that Cui's disciples were all over the states. The prefect of Fengxiang is also the same, he sent me here..." King Chu clenched his fists, "It's really good that I don't see me at all!"

The smile gradually became bitter, "Why didn't I think of it, I am the prince, as long as I die, I can be implicated in a big case, not only can he take the Zhengshitang back into his hands, the Xiaojiang family lost me, Zhao The king is married again...hehe." The king of Chu gritted his teeth, "Sure enough, in his eyes, there is only power from the beginning to the end."

"I'm afraid, the exit of Fengxiang Mansion is guarded by someone now, Master Liu..." King Chu leaned against the wall, clenched his fists tightly.

"There is no way to reveal the news now, so we can only wait in this dungeon. It doesn't matter if you are a servant, but let you be in this kind of place..."

"I hope Liu Zhubo can find a way to go out and find a transfer envoy, and there should be an accident at the court." King Chu stood up holding the concentric knot and walked to the skylight, "I just hope that the judge will sentence me to die later. "

A jade belt right talisman slipped from the neckline of the double-breasted collar, and the little six picked it up. On the back were two concave and convex carp carvings. Then the magistrate should not dare to convict easily, right?"

"Have you forgotten, this is Fengxiang, the capital of the border state. Except for the transfer envoy, the magistrate has the greatest power in matters. He also has a right minister on his head. Otherwise, how dare he openly collect money so boldly."

The little six fell limp and wept, "It doesn't matter if the servant is dead, but master, you are the son of an official family, how dare they?"

The King of Chu lay down with a wry smile, "It's not the first time for them to murder a prince, what kind of prince, it's just a vanity."
