〖Emperor〗 Don't lose prosperity

After Su Jiulian heard the noise, Xiao Zixian had just fallen asleep, in order not to disturb him, Su Jiulian touched his sleeping point.

Qingling stood on his shoulder, it didn't make a sound, for fear of disturbing its master.

Outside the door, Ye Yi knocked on the door.

Su Jiu got up and went out, and asked, "What happened outside?"

Ye Yi replied: "There was a person in a painting boat who committed suicide by throwing himself into the river."

Su Jiu frowned: "Has anyone been rescued?"

"In the middle of the lake, no one dares to go down the river rashly. But now the few people who painted the boat have gone to report to the officials."

"Let's drive the boat back to shore!"

"Yes."

When the boat returned to the shore of the lake, Su Jiulian released Xiao Zixian's sleeping hole.

Xiao Zixian said that he has always been a light sleeper, which is true, and he opened his eyes after hearing the noise outside.

Xiao Zixian asked: "What happened?"

Su Jiulian simply told him again.

After hearing this, Xiao Zixian said: "Then let's go out and have a look."

Su Jiu nodded.

Qingling ran to Xiao Zixian's shoulder at the right time, chirping a few times.

Xiao Zixian turned his head and glanced at it, but said nothing.

When the two got out of the boat, they found that the shore was full of people, and the officials had also arrived, directing order and sending boats to the center of the lake to save people.

It seems that the magistrates here are quite fast in their work, Xiao Zixian thought to himself.

Su Ye ran out from the boat, Ye Yi and Ye Shuang followed behind him.

The crowd on the shore were discussing, and the few people beside Ye Yi were discussing.

"I heard that the one who threw himself into the river is the oiran just launched by Yanyuelou, tsk tsk."

"Do you think the oiran is upset because he doesn't want to ruin his innocence?"

"Are you stupid? Isn't she just selling her looks? Why are you innocent? You two are really."

"That's right, how can a prostitute be so indifferent?"

"Yesterday, the auction price was very intense. The one who auctioned off this oiran was the boss Fang from the Wugu shop, right? That's what he called unlucky. He spent 1 taels of silver, but he didn't get a bite of it. , Tsk, this business is really only a loss but not a profit."

With a few simple words, the story in it can be roughly guessed.

Although the officials have gone to save people, the county magistrate of this place is long overdue.Along with him, there is a well-dressed, burly and strong middle-aged man, probably the Boss Fang that those people mentioned just now!

The officer who went out to save people came back half an hour later, but the boat was empty.

"My lord, the center of the lake is too deep, and it is impossible to save it. It is probably more ominous."

The county magistrate was not angry after hearing this, and only said: "The personnel affairs are exhausted, and it is her life if she cannot be saved. You guys go to clear the crowd, and post a notice tomorrow. No one will hire a boat to swim on the lake these days, waiting for the dead body to die." Come up and talk."

"Yes."

"Wait!" Ye Shuangdao, who couldn't get used to this kind of fake-faced official, said, "As a county magistrate, you don't put the people first, and you settle the matter with a few words. What if the person who threw himself into the river has other grievances? You What's the difference between a rootless grass and a human being's life?"

Ye Yi hurriedly grabbed him and signaled—the master hasn't spoken yet, so please don't cause trouble.

Xiao Zixian also couldn't understand these things, so he said: "Although this is not a court, the law of this dynasty has long stipulated that in any case involving human life, human life must be the most important, even if the family of the deceased does not sue the case, the local court The officials should at least deliberate carefully, examine the corpse, and restore the deceased's true innocence."

The county magistrate snorted coldly: "How can a woman in a brothel be truly innocent?"

Ye Shuang replied to him: "If you have the ability, you officials only eat and drink, don't use the royal salary to go whoring!"

"puff."

As soon as this remark came out, the people around immediately laughed, and the county magistrate's face turned white and red, which was very ever-changing.

Su Jiu frowned: "Even if that person comes from a prostitute, you can't make trouble like this hastily."

The county magistrate saw them face to face, but felt that they had an aura of prosperity, and he knew in his heart that they were either high-ranking officials or sons from wealthy families, so they were not easy to offend.He said: "Your words are not unreasonable. How about this, if the people around feel that it is necessary to investigate this matter, I will start the trial tomorrow, how about it?"

As soon as the county magistrate said this, the people who watched the excitement dispersed immediately. Those who should go home went home, and those who should look for someone looked for someone, and they didn't stay for a moment.

The county magistrate smiled triumphantly, no one would be willing to take this muddy water for a fireworks girl.

"Since this is the case, the young masters, please come back!"

"Absurd! The imperial court ordered the palace not to act according to the law, do you know what crime it is?"

Su Jiulian's kingly aura was revealed again, which really made the county magistrate shudder, but he calmed down quickly, pointed at Ye Shuang and said, "Just now this young master said that this official is not people-oriented, so this official will What's wrong with asking the people around here for their opinions?"

Ye Shuang gritted his teeth after hearing this: "These are two different things!"

Although all the people had dispersed, some people still asked: "It's a human life anyway, how can my lord leave it alone?"

The county magistrate replied: "How can I ignore it?"

"Then why don't you look into this?"

"What's the point of investigating this matter?"

"Why not? Isn't it strange that a woman threw herself into the river on a painting boat late at night?"

It took a long time to respond to the county magistrate before realizing something was wrong. Who is talking here?Turning his head, he saw that it was a man in purple clothes, and he also had a very raw face.

Su Ye smiled when he saw him.

Xiao Zixian thought to himself, he must be the young man in purple clothes that Qing Ling talked about!

The county magistrate asked with a cold face, "Who are you?"

The county magistrate never thought that there would be such a short-sighted person who would be troublesome.

The young man in purple blinked his eyes and said: "I am also a commoner, so the commoners have to help the commoners, right? Besides, the commoners should not distinguish between high and low. If you don't follow the rules, then the woman's grievances will not be cleared. If she Don't worry, I might come up from the lake to drink and chat with you someday, what do you think you will do then?"

The county magistrate was not usually a superstitious person, but now it was late at night, and he was by the lake again, and the cool wind was blowing, which really shocked him.

When he was in a dilemma, Boss Fang, who had been silent since just now, said, "Master Cai, if they want to interrogate you, they will interrogate you. Anyway, I am not afraid of the shadow."

With these words, the county magistrate finally breathed a sigh of relief, "So, come to the county government office tomorrow!"

After saying that, she wanted to leave, Ye Shuang said again: "Hey! You just left like this? What if the girl is still saved? You officials don't care about her life?"

When the county magistrate heard this, his nose was almost crooked, and he said viciously, "What's wrong? What else do you want?"

Ye Shuang raised his eyebrows: "Of course, let your subordinates continue to salvage!"

As soon as the county magistrate flicked his sleeves, he ordered a few words to his three subordinates.

This matter will come to an end for the time being, the county magistrate left after finishing speaking, but the boss looked back at Xiao Zixian before leaving, and there seemed to be an indescribable meaning in his eyes.

Su Jiu was displeased and stood up to block his sight.

Su Ye smiled and waved to the young man in purple.

Xiao Zixian asked, "Your Master, do you know him?"

Su Ye nodded, then shook his head again.

The young man in purple went forward and said, "My name is Mo Zi, and I met this little young man just now."

In fact, Mo Zi was considering whether to take care of this trivial matter, but when he looked up, he found that Su Ye was staring at him devoutly, so he decided to speak out.

Ye Shuang squinted at him and said, "Tell me! What are your plans?"

Mo Zi raised his eyebrows: "Attempts? I don't have any plans. I'm just an idler in the rivers and lakes. If the road is uneven, I will draw my sword to help. Is this an attempt?"

Su Ye felt that Mo Zi was not a bad person, so he said to Ye Shuang, "He came from a good person."

Ye Shuang pursed her lips and said nothing.

After getting acquainted with each other, Mo Zi realized that he lived in the same inn as them, so he went back with them.

During the period, Ye Yi and Ye Shuang were sent by Su Jiulian to Yanyue Tower to inquire about the oiran.

Mo Zi hugged Su Ye, and the two seemed to hit it off very well, chatting happily.

Seeing that Xiao Zixian was in good spirits, Su Jiu told him what happened just now.

"Do you think there is any other inside story behind this case?"

"Looking at the county magistrate's secretive appearance, there must be something inside."

Su Jiu nodded repeatedly: "We'll wait until the case is clarified before we leave. I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble tomorrow. You should rest early after you go back."

"Eh." Xiao Zixian paused, "We'd better not go to the county government office tomorrow, let Ye Yi go, he should be able to handle it."

Su Jiulian knew that he was worried about herself, so she couldn't help but be in a good mood: "It's okay, we have already taken care of this matter, and we will definitely find out the truth."

Xiao Zixian was helpless, thinking that if something happened to this person, he would probably be charged with a new crime.

Su Jiulian lowered her voice: "Isn't the purpose of the southern tour to resolve civil issues in various places? This case is also one of them, so it needs to be dealt with."

After Xiao Zixian heard what he said, he stopped obstructing him, thinking that he would protect him seriously when the time came.

Seeing how close they were, Mo Zi asked Su Ye in a low voice, "What's the relationship between your father and Young Master Xiao?"

"He's my teacher."

"Teacher? That means they have nothing to do with each other, right?"

Su Ye immediately said: "Of course there are, the teacher is a part of our family."

"Master Xiao is pretty good-looking, the type I like."

"Momo, what do you want?"

Mo Zi smiled: "I want to kidnap your teacher."

"No!" Su Ye said with a serious face, "The teacher is gone, what should my father do?"

"Didn't your father still have your mother?"

Hearing this, Su Ye lowered his head and pinched his fingers: "My mother? I haven't seen her, she's not at my house."

Mo Zi realized that she had said the wrong thing, and quickly changed the subject: "Then what, it's quite pleasing to see your father and your teacher standing together."

Su Ye nodded: "Well, so you can't abduct the teacher."

Mo Zi glanced at them again.Of these two people, one is rich and handsome, the other is as beautiful as jade, both are very good-looking men.They stood together, no matter who stood up again, it seemed redundant.

After thinking about it, Mo Zi pursed her lips with a look of frustration.

Su Ye poked his cheek and asked, "Momo, what's wrong with you?"

"I want to find a good-looking person to grow old together, but your father and Mr. Xiao are so suitable, I have no chance."

Su Ye hasn't learned the meaning of the four words 'grow old together' yet, but he understands Mo Zi's last sentence, and nodded quickly: "I also think that the teacher and my father are very suitable together."

Mo Zi gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, there are still several months left. If there is no chance now, then there is no chance! Hey, kid, are you hungry? I didn't eat anything on the boat just now, let's go back How about a supper?"

Su Ye didn't understand what he said, but he also felt hungry, so he said hello.
