Chapter 3 County Master, isn’t this suitable?
"This small Qingyuan County is very lively."
Wu Zetian stood in front of the window, looked at the crowd gathering towards the county government, and said lightly.
"Your Majesty said very much. It seems that this place is different from other places in the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Shangguan Wan'er smiled slightly, "Why should I accompany you out for a walk?"
Wu Zetian glanced at Shangguan Wan'er and snorted coldly in anger.
"You girl, you want to see the county magistrate Chen."
Shangguan Wan'er scratched her head, "You can't hide anything from your Majesty. I am indeed very curious about the magistrate Chen."
"Forget it, I will take you there to see the case handling ability of this magistrate Chen."
Wu Zetian shook his sleeves and took Shangguan Wan'er to leave Dongsheng Inn.
As soon as the two of them went out, the rickshaw at the door immediately came over and asked them if they were on the bus. Seeing that this thing was novel, Wu Zetian nodded in agreement.
When they arrived at the county government office, the two were shocked.
There are too many people watching the fun here, and they are all stretching their necks to look in, keeping muttering, why can't the county magistrate come out yet?
The eggs I cooked for him were almost cold.
Wu Zetian...
finally!
Amid everyone's expectations, the Qingyuan County Yamen's drums rang out, and then two teams of yamen runners holding water and fire sticks ran out from behind the screen.
They were lined up on both sides of the lobby and stared at the people outside the hall with majestic eyes.
Immediately afterwards, a young man wearing a seventh-rank official robe walked out from behind the pillar, sat on the big table, and yawned and looked at the two of them under the hall.
"I can't even sleep for a long afternoon. Tell me, what's the matter."
"Sir, you have to be the master of my family!"
The beautiful woman knelt on the ground with a thud, pointing to the man in brocade clothes beside her and cried, "Mr. The county master, I want to sue Xue Yunshan, Pingxi Bo!"
"Ping Xibo?"
"The county master doesn't know that the ancestor of this Xibo Xue Yunshan was the favorite general of Emperor Taizong Xue Wanche." Zhao Zhubu explained in a low voice.
"Ah, that's how it is." Chen Yuan suddenly realized and looked at Xue Yunshan with a red face.
"Hongzhu, what's the matter for you to sue Xibo?"
"Return to the county master, I sued Pingxibo for robbing the girl!"
The onlookers all sympathized with the red candle, and it was obvious that this was another case where the powerful and powerful relied on their identity to harm good women.
"You're talking nonsense, when will Ben snatch you?" Jinyi stood up macholy.
"Don't be upset, I will ask clearly."
Chen Yuan walked to the man in Jinyi and pressed his shoulder.
"Hu Erlangzi, bring a chair for Uncle."
"Come on!"
Captain Hu brought a chair to the man in brocade clothes and said with big yellow teeth.
"Brother, please sit down."
The man in brocade took a deep breath and bowed to Chen Yuan, "Thank you, Magistrate Chen."
Seeing this scene, Wu Zetian was quite disappointed and thought he was a capable minister who was honest and did not expect to be like those old men in the court.
Also a snob.
Shangguan Wan'er leaned over to Wu Zetian and whispered, "Your Majesty, do you want to transfer Qianniu Guard to take this person down?"
"Let's take a look first." Wu Zetian looked at the lobby with a blank expression.
After Chen Yuan returned to the big case, he slapped the gavel hard.
"Hongzhu, as far as I know, you have always lived in the county, but Ping Xibo lives in Qingzhou Prefecture. You said he insulted your innocence, but you have certificates."
"Go back to the master, yesterday, because he was the first seventh day of the official, I took the incense and candle to worship at the grave.
Unexpectedly, he met Ping Xibo on the way. Seeing that his family was so beautiful, he rushed over and pressed his family to the stone tablet and did something bad."
Speaking of the sadness, Hongzhu covered her mouth and cried.
Seeing this, the onlookers turned to Hongzhu and asked Chen Yuan to severely punish Ping Xibo.
Bang!
"Keep calm and dare to disturb the court and hit the three major boards again."
The whole audience was silent for a moment.
Chen Yuan snorted coldly and looked at Xue Yunshan beside him.
"Brother, Hongzhu said she met you on the way to commemorate you, I wonder if it's right?"
Xue Yunshan nodded with embarrassment.
"I'm not hiding the magistrate Chen. My uncle did see this woman when he returned to his hometown to visit the grave yesterday, but he did nothing. I hope the master will understand!"
"So it's Miss Hongzhu who framed you?"
Chen Yuan slapped Tongmu suddenly and shouted.
"Pingxibo, don't tell me that it was the girl Hongzhu who seduced you, and deliberately framed you!"
As soon as this said, the beautiful woman's body trembled slightly, and a trace of panic flashed deep in her eyes.
Ping Xibo suddenly stood up and stared at Chen Yuan, his face turned blue and white, as if there was something indescribable.
"Master, I am still filial to you, how could I seduce this guy with a human face and a beastly heart?" Hongzhun said in tears.
Chen Yuan sneered in his heart. When things got to this point, he probably knew what was going on, but he was just a shortage of evidence.
"Red candle, according to the law of our Great Zhou, anyone who forcibly robs a woman of the people will need to be 80 sticks and fined 500 taels of silver."
"Same, those who falsely accused are equivalent to this. Are you sure that Ping Xibo was so mean to insult you forcibly?"
"That's right, it's this beast that has harmed my family!"
When Hongzhu heard this, she immediately stood up and said loudly.
"Okay, according to my Great Zhou Law, the presiding judge cannot identify the authenticity and falsehood, and can restore the scene at the discretion."
"Come here, take off the clothes of the Red Candle Girl and restore the scene of the crime at that time!"
With a bang, the audience was shocked!
No one expected that the county master would say such a thing. If it weren't for knowing that he was a good official, the people would have cursed him long ago.
Shangguan Wan'er's pretty face turned red even more angry.
"Your Majesty, this dog magistrate is too ridiculous. I request to take him down immediately!"
Wu Zetian kept his hands behind his back and said nothing, but his eyes were getting colder and colder.
As for Hongzhu's face turned pale so scared that he quickly took a few steps back.
"County Master, this is not suitable."
Captain Hu turned his fingers with a squeaky look on his face, feeling a little embarrassed.
This is the first time he has been in front of so many people.
"There is nothing wrong. Just perform according to the scene of insulting Hongzhu at that time and try to restore the details to the right place."
After saying that, he kicked Captain Hu over.
The county magistrate spoke, and Captain Hu had no choice but to untie his belt, rush towards the red candle, and said.
"Miss, you just follow Master Hu!"
After saying that, he grabbed Hongzhu's shoulder and wanted to take off her skirt.
Hongzhu was not willing to let a rough man sleep. When he saw Captain Hu pulling his skirt, his eyes flashed with fierce light and kicked Captain Hu's crotch.
Because of the a little anger, the kick was extremely heavy.
Ouch!
Captain Hu screamed and immediately fell down with his crotch covering his crotch, his face turning green.
"My mother, Hu Erlangzi, you fed too many cows last night."
Chen Yuan was so angry that he pointed to several big-soldier yamen runners.
"You guys go and help Hu Erlangzi!"
"Yes, county lord."
Several yamen runners clasped their fists and rushed towards the woman.
The onlookers were stunned when they saw this scene, and they couldn't figure out why the county master did such unethical things.
"Beast!"
“It’s simply inhumane!”
When Shangguan Wan'er saw this scene, her beautiful eyes were full of anger. She wanted to step forward to help the woman, but she was afraid of revealing her identity.
"Your Majesty, I beg Qianniu Guard to capture this beast!"
Wu Zetian glanced at her and his eyes fell back to the lobby.
Chapter completed!
