Zhixian hurried out.

He came to the Yamen in person.

The scene in front of him was even more... "grand" than he expected.

Those villagers came prepared.

The leader, who claimed to be the village official, had already knelt down in front of the yamen gate with a pleading paper in his hand, begging Lord Qingtian to decide.

Some of the people behind him held long accusation banners with hundreds of bloody palm prints in their hands, some wore white cloth strips with red letters on their foreheads, and there were wounded people who were carried by the door and had many wounds bandaged on their bodies...

They knelt down in unison, and many of them wiped their tears and complained loudly.

The magistrate had already heard that this group of villagers had caused big troubles on the streets themselves, so at this time, there were already a sea of ​​people in front of the yamen, all waiting to see if they would accept the paper.

In front of so many people, the magistrate suppressed his joy and hurried forward to help the village official.

Could he be unhappy?

In this way, as long as he is stable, firstly, he doesn't need to overturn the case, secondly, he has an account for Zuiyuelou, thirdly, if he keeps his reputation, he can gain the reputation of being the master of the people, and fourthly, he can make Zuiyuelou owe him a favor.

Of course, there is another very important point. Qian Dingbao, who was proud of him before noon, has caught him this time.If there is something to make a fuss about, let's see if he can keep the black yarn on his head!

No, under the attention of the people in the provincial capital, this church, which was expected by all, was raised soon.

Qian Dingbao was also brought.

What happened in front of him was something he didn't expect.

The reason why he asked for a retrial before and brought up the theory of kidnappers was because he was sure that the provincial government office might not want to redo the cooked rice. some compensation.

He knew that even if it was found out that there were other culprits in that night's incident, the Qian family would be jointly and severally liable for the fact that the incident happened in the other courtyard of the Qian family, and they would still have to pay for it.So in order to make a quick decision, he exerted sufficient pressure today, trying to force Zuiyuelou to retreat.

It's just that I didn't expect that group of silly villagers in Liangshan Village to be so smart all of a sudden, knowing that they came to the provincial capital?Remember the connection to the case?
Qian Dingbao was a little flustered. When he came, he heard all kinds of talk from the people gathered in front of the yamen. He knew that his reputation in the provincial capital was so great?How come the people in the provincial capital know him?Do you know where he is an official?
Everyone called him "X city dog ​​officer"?He kept saying that "the reason why the Qian family did whatever they wanted in the past was because they were protected by this dog official and had nothing to fear."

What is even more frightening is that such absurd remarks as "the Qian family murdered, set fire and robbed in Liangshan Village, and the dog officials in Yancheng colluded with him and dare not control them" are actually tacitly accepted "facts" by the people in the provincial capital?
This is definitely not something that the villagers of Liangshan village can do in a short time.

Sure enough, someone is manipulating behind the scenes, right?

But Qian Dingbao realized now that it was obviously too late.

This time, he himself became the defendant.

The villagers of Liangshan Village put hats on him one after another!

The magistrate treated the villagers kindly and patiently, but when he treated him, he had a completely different face.

The madam of Zuiyue Tower also came, and she stood with the villagers, telling him the "culprit".

Qian Dingbao felt troublesome.

He has no power in the provincial capital, but the case in Liangshan Village is so-called "complete with witnesses and material evidence", the Qian family may be difficult to clear...

The case was under trial, but an official came to the magistrate's ear to report a few words.

The magistrate's gaze stayed on Qian Dingbao, and the corners of his lips involuntarily curled up.

"Since Mr. Qian is here, they have found it again, so let's bring it here first."

them?who are they?Qian Dingbao suddenly had a bad feeling.

After dozens of breaths, Qian Dingbao even pretended to be calm, and he couldn't help clenching his hands into fists.

The visitors are his second brother and second sister-in-law.How did these two people get out?
"Brother, you can make it easy for us to find!" Second Master sneered.

"Uncle, bring something!" The second wife screamed.

As she spoke, she signaled the second master to go up to Qian Dingbao to look for the land deed.

Qian Dingbao pushed the second master away: "We'll talk about it when we go back, don't mess around!"

"Go back?" The second wife sneered: "Will you be imprisoned or robbed by you after you go back?"

"Don't make trouble. The overall situation is the most important thing!" Qian Dingbao avoided it again.

Now, the second master was also in a hurry, fearing that his house had been sold, he reached out and searched for his elder brother.

The two brothers pushed and shoved in court.

"No noise! ​​Separate these people!"

The county magistrate knocked on the gavel and asked who was in the hall and what they were doing. If it had nothing to do with their current case or the parties involved, they should immediately leave, so as not to affect the judgment of the case.

"I have something to do." The second master didn't say anything, but the second wife was heartbroken. "I am the second wife of the Qian family, and this is my husband, the second master of the Qian family." She pointed at Qian Dingbao, "Qian Dingbao, the uncle of the Qian family, imprisoned our whole family last night and took away all our belongings. We are the masters! Help us get our property back!"

The second wife has long been disappointed with the Qian family. Qian will surely cut off their family's livelihood. What does she care about about the relationship and the reputation of the Qian family?

The second master hesitated for a while, then knelt down in the hall.It was the eldest brother and the Qian family who took him first, and he was going to separate the family, so there is nothing to hesitate.

The magistrate and the madam looked at each other.So lucky?Whatever you want, God help me.Coupled with the accusation of the second master of the Qian family, Qian Dingbao has committed a serious crime.Detention and hitting the board are not a problem, it is almost effortless.

So the county magistrate immediately interrogated Qian Dingbao and found out from him the land deed that the second wife was thinking about.In black and white on it is the name of the second master.

It is conclusive evidence.Soon, Qian Dingbao himself admitted his "unavoidable" behavior.

The magistrate pretended to be furious, and scolded him for acting so absurdly as an imperial court official. Not only did he know how to violate the law, but he also insulted the court's reputation, blah blah blah.

In the end, the second master and his wife left, but Qian Dingbao was taken into custody.

The county magistrate has plausible arguments. First, the case in Liangshan Village has not yet been completed. They have to collect evidence on the spot, and Qian Dingbao, as the defendant, must be detained before the trial begins.The second is that the case he had just now had to be reported, and he had to ask the higher-level yamen for instructions...

Just like that, Qian Dingbao never expected that he would be locked up for no reason.And he was locked in the cell facing his son...

However, the incident did not end there.

Early the next morning, the county magistrate pretended to show his own efforts in front of the people in the provincial capital, and went to Yancheng to collect evidence.

However, when they were still ten miles away from Yancheng, the group saw a fire in the direction of Yancheng ahead.

When they reached the outskirts of the city, they roughly heard that a Taoist temple in Yancheng caught fire and killed people.The well-known Taoist priest was burned to death. It is said that it is related to the Qian family in Yancheng.

The Qian family?Is it the Qian family again?
As soon as the magistrate and his party entered the city, they were stopped by a little Taoist priest.He said he wanted to sue Qian Dingbao, and asked the magistrate to make the decision for him.
