I'm taking the imperial examinations in Liaozhai

Ji Zihe had never seen this woman before, but when it came to Lang Yuzhu, Ji Zihe knew him well.

Lang Yuzhu was a friend Ji Zihe made when he went to Honghe Town last year. He liked reading very much and was a true bookworm. Just his study room full of books made Ji Zihe very envious.

However, although Lang Yuzhu is good at reading, he is a bit naive and straightforward in his dealings with others. If he said that he would have grudges with others, Ji Zihe would not be too surprised.But this resentment seems to be too deep.

Lang Yuzhu once praised his wife as beautiful as a flower, but the one standing in front of him now looks even more terrifying than Yasha.Looking at her begging Ji Zihe to save Lang Yuzhu's life, it is conceivable that their fate will not be happy.

Ji Zihe thought that Meng Zhang was sleeping on his chest, and he was not afraid that this woman might have any intentions of harming him.He invited the woman to the study to sit down and asked what happened.

"My surname is Yan, and my name is Ruyu. I'm an elf in a book. Because I'm grateful for my husband's sincerity towards books, I show up, and it's better than marrying Qin and Jin. Although my family is an elf in the book,

But I also don't want to see my husband-in-law become someone who only knows how to read, so persuasion from time to time can be regarded as a gain.The servants also know,

The identity of the slave family must not be with the husband for too long, otherwise it will inevitably bring disaster to him.Just because of momentary greed,

I can't let go of my husband and baby, and I can't bear to leave.As a result, Xianggong's relatives discovered my existence. Xianggong is sincere and would not lie, so he told my story.Unexpectedly, that person revealed the matter, and later it reached the ears of the county magistrate.The county magistrate was greedy, so he ordered the servants to catch the slaves.The slave family hurriedly asked the nanny to take the baby out to take refuge, and hid in the collection of books at home.Unexpectedly, those servants couldn't find my slave, so they arrested my husband and maid, forced them to reveal my whereabouts, and even used punishment.Nujia is an elf in the book. He has read a lot of books and knows the ugliness of people's hearts. If Nujia shows up, it will be harmful to the husband, so he dare not appear.Although my husband was tortured, he didn't tell me my whereabouts, but the maid did tell me a thing or two.The county magistrate came to Lang's house in person, burned the books in the study, and forced me to show up.The slave's magic power is low, and he hides in books on weekdays. Fire is the nemesis of the slave's family. Although he saved his life, he became like this.But the magistrate of that county was still relentless, did not see me, and still refused to release my husband from the prison.The slave's family was also desperate, so they begged the lord.Also please adults save my husband. "

It took Yan Ruyu a lot of courage to knock on the door. This adult is not a mortal at first glance, and he doesn't know if he will help her.

"As an official of the imperial court, for his own selfishness, he oppresses the good people, burns people's houses, and uses lynchings, does he still have the king's law in his eyes!" Ji Zihe slapped his palm on the table and said angrily.

Ji Zihe was not very familiar with this county magistrate, after all, Baihe Town where he lived was far from the county seat.But after hearing the absurd rumors that someone's beautiful daughter-in-law is a monster, he sent someone to arrest her, how could he do such a thing.

The Great Chu State has clearly stipulated that officials should not believe in those superstitious things, otherwise if anything goes wrong, it will be fine to blame the goblins.Therefore, even if you really encounter some ghosts, you can't solve it in the open, you can only do it secretly, and you must not mention it in the submitted files.

On weekdays, you must firmly say to the people that the monsters and ghosts in this world are all fake, but there are many people who pretend to be gods and ghosts. Don't scare yourself... Such remarks will not cause panic among the people.

Like Shi County Magistrate, it is an obvious violation of the regulations.Aside from those strange things, what he did was to arrest people for no reason, use lynching, oppress the people, and burn down other people's houses.Ji Zihe knew how many books there were in that house, not to mention the added value of the books, just to buy these books would cost a lot of money.Is this what parents should do?

"Mrs. Yan, don't worry. I'll go to the county to see the magistrate tomorrow. Maybe the magistrate will sell me to save me and release brother Lang." Ji Zihe said.

If it's a big deal, just spend some money, he doesn't believe that he can't get people out of prison first.

"Thank you, my lord, Ruyu is very grateful." Yan Ruyu said, and was about to stand up and kneel down to Ji Zihe, but Ji Zihe held her up.

"Don't thank me in a hurry. Alas, I haven't taken office yet. Even if I have taken office, I will be on the same level as County Magistrate Shi. There is no way to punish him." Ji Zihe was a little helpless. He is also a magistrate, so even if he was appointed Ren, it is impossible to extend his hand so long to intervene in the local government affairs of Zhaoyuan County.After finally becoming an official, Ji Zihe felt a little frustrated when he encountered injustice but was helpless.

"Madam Yan, do you have any evidence? I'll try to write a few letters and hand them to my acquaintances in Beijing to help me establish connections."

Since ancient times, it has been difficult for people to sue officials, and the only way Ji Zihe can help is to help them walk the road of relationship.

Yan Ruyu shook her head, "As far as the physical evidence is concerned, the Lang family's old house is remote and there are no other houses around. The house has been burned down. If the county magistrate wants to renege on the debt, we have no evidence to prove that he set the fire. As for the witness... the slave's house It’s a monster, everyone in the world is afraid of monsters, even if someone really knows the truth, who is willing to testify for me.”

"People's hearts are actually not that bad. For example, Brother Lang, who knows you are a demon, is not afraid of you, and your maid..." Ji Zihe tried to struggle.

"My husband has a heart of a child and is not afraid of demons, but others... just because of the profit." Yan Ruyu sneered, money can make ghosts grind, let alone people.

Ji Zihe didn't know what to say, he could tell that Yan Ruyu hated humans from the bottom of his heart, "Then madam, you can stay at my house first, and you will go to the county with me tomorrow, as for the future Let's discuss the matter after I rescue Brother Lang."

"Thank you, my lord, but my lord, can you not tell my husband that I am still alive?"

"Why is this?"

"The current appearance of the slave's house, I'm afraid it will scare him."

"Ma'am, I'm worrying too much. I believe Brother Lang is not that kind of person who loves skin."

"My lord, even so, I don't want to be by his side anymore. After all, I'm a monster, and a ladyboy shouldn't be together. If that's the case, it's better to keep my most beautiful appearance in his memory."

Everyone has already made a decision, and Ji Zihe didn't try to persuade him.After all, it's someone else's life, Ji Zihe is not her, and he doesn't know what is the best outcome for her.What's more, Yan Ruyu wasn't overheated for a while, but the result of careful consideration. Ji Zihe couldn't force people to change their minds either.

Ji Zihe asked Huang Jiulang to pack up a room for Yan Ruyu to live in, and only called her when he was on the road the next day.

Yan Ruyu didn't just follow them there, but turned into a yarn-cut beauty.It's just that this beauty's body is now covered with scorched black, and she no longer has the slightest sense of beauty.

Ji Zihe found a book, put it in the book and took it with him.When he arrived in Zhaoyuan County with Ning Caichen, he found the magistrate Shi's home, and handed over the greeting card. After exchanging greetings, Ji Zihe asked him that he had a friend named Lang Yuzhu who had committed some crimes and was imprisoned. stand up.

The smile on Shi County Magistrate's face froze, and he sighed, "Oh, it's not that I don't want to let him go, I'm really afraid that he will be harmed by a monster again. Brother Ji, you know that your friend was bewitched by a banshee and is in danger. It was to save his life that he kindly invited him into the county government office. Unfortunately, Lang Sheng was so bewitched by the banshee that he refused to tell where the banshee was hiding. I was afraid that the banshee would come to harm him again. I dare not let him go home."

Ji Zihe made a suddenly realized expression on his face, "So that's how it is. My lord is really a good official who loves the people like a son. I thank you on behalf of brother Lang. However, if my lord keeps him in custody, but I can't convict him of the crime, I'm afraid he will be punished by someone who cares." Take advantage of it. I know that your lord has good intentions, so I don't want to see you misunderstood, so I ask you to think about it, so as not to leave any tongues."

But pull it down, talk about saving people, but in the end what you do really ruins your family and separates your wife and children.If you really want to save people, why burn their houses or use lynching, Ji Zihe has never seen such a good official.

Of course, it is impossible not to say such words, otherwise Lang Yuzhu probably won't be able to come out in this life.

County magistrate Shi nodded, "Brother Ji is absurd. As a local parent official, the affairs of the local people are my business. This is where my profession lies. It's just that Brother Ji is right. I really don't think about it. Zhou, after so many days, the monster should have escaped, so I will send someone to release that Langsheng."

"Master is wise."

The reason why magistrate Shi is so easy to talk to is not because of anything else, but because he is happy.Shi County Magistrate originally thought that this small place in Zhaoyuan County would be considered good if it could produce a Jinshi this time, maybe there would be none, but who knew that there would be two at once, and one of them would be Tanhua.When it comes time to evaluate, these are all his political achievements, so why can't he be happy.

Speaking of releasing him, County Magistrate Shi didn't delay, and released him on the same day.

When Lang Yuzhu came out, his whole body was covered in injuries, and his mental state was very bad.Ji Zihe directly sent him to the medical clinic in the city to treat his injuries.

Fortunately, the doctor said that his injuries looked scary, but they were all superficial injuries, and he would recover after a period of recuperation, which made Ji Zihe heave a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Brother Ji, for your help. I, Lang Yuzhu, will remember it in my heart. If there is a need for me in the future, I will go through fire and water, and I will not hesitate to do so." Lang Yuzhu thanked Ji Zihe.

Ji Zihe hurriedly helped him up, "Brother Lang, you don't need to be like this. You and I are friends. How can I stand by and watch you suffer today?"

For some reason, Ji Zihe felt that Lang Yuzhu at this time seemed to be different from before.Although he suffered a catastrophe and his body was still weak, his brows and eyes became more determined and matured.

Lang Yuzhu pursed his dry lips and smiled. Ji Zihe was not the only friend he made. He thought that many people might help him, but he didn't expect that it was Ji Zihe who saved him. After all, his friendship with Ji Zihe is not considered deep.But the reality is just the opposite. Those who he thought would help him were busy severing ties with him, but what he didn't expect was to save him, which is really ironic.

"What are your plans for the future?" Ji Zihe asked.

"I'm going to ask my father's disciples to help me take the next imperial examination. Magistrate Shi burned down my house, killed my wife, and ruined my family. I will definitely pay back this debt with my own hands." Lang Yuzhu said coldly.

Ji Zihe didn't tell him that Yan Ruyu was not dead.He gave Lang Yuzhu some money, and Lang Yuzhu didn't refuse. After all, he needs it now. As for the kindness, he has already owed it, and he is not afraid to owe more, and he will definitely pay it back in the future.

Lang Yuzhu returned to Honghe Town. Although he lost his wife, his child was still there.

After something happened here, Ji Zihe and the others returned to Baihe Town.When he got home, when Ji Zihe was packing the books, he saw the beautiful woman in the book, and realized that he almost forgot about her.

"Brother Lang has been released, what are your plans for the future?"

The beautiful woman Shajian turned into a human and knelt down in front of Ji Zihe, "Thank you for your help, I am as good as jade, and I am willing to follow you around and be at your command from now on."

Meng Zhang, who was sleeping on Ji Zihe's chest, suddenly opened his eyes. His little claws grabbed Ji Zihe's clothes and climbed up, sticking his head out from his collar, squinting his eyes at Yan Ruyu.
