The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei
Chapter 15 Questioning
After the bailiffs took Liu Ping and his gang away, the crowd gathered around and quickly rushed to the county government office. After all, the trial of Liu Ping was a big event in Laigu County.
Cao Zhen walked slowly towards Xie Shuting, looked her up and down, stroked her hand and said, "Miss, were you harassed by Liu Ping just now?"
Xie Shuting smiled but said nothing. Lian Xi beside her quickly said, "This rascal is so outspoken. He will be punished with a stick later."
"Since you are the victim, I wonder if you can go to the county government to testify, which will also make it easier for Lord Xie to punish Liu Ping." Cao Zhen said with a hint of begging in his words.
After all, they are now facing off against Liu Qing. If they cannot defeat the other party directly, they will not be able to withstand the counterattack from the other party in the future.
Liu Qing was so powerful in Laigu County that the head of Caojiazhuang had no choice but to lead his clansmen to the government to file a complaint, hoping to use public resentment to force Liu Qing to punish Liu Ping.
Unexpectedly, Liu Qing did not meet the new county magistrate, Mr. Xie, but Cao Lizheng was worried at first, wondering whether the other party would protect each other.
But now, seeing Lord Xie's thundering measures, Li Zheng Cao felt a little more at ease, and hope was also ignited in the hearts of all the villagers in Caojiazhuang.
Although Xie Shuting didn't know the details, she guessed the general idea. She then looked at Lian Xi and said, "Xi'er! You accompany the yamen runner for a while. I'll go back first."
"But Miss, it might not be safe for you to be alone." Lian Xi said with some concern.
Upon hearing this, Cao Zhen, who was standing by, gestured to the two yamen runners behind him and said, "You take this young lady back to the mansion. I will go to the county government office with Miss Lian Xi."
"Brother Cao Zhen, don't worry. We will definitely send this young lady back safely." Someone echoed.
Having said this, Lian Xi didn't know what to say. After saying "thank you" to the two yamen runners, he followed Cao Zhen to the county government office.
Xie Shuting bowed to the two yamen runners and said, "Excuse me, big brothers."
"Miss, please!"
The bailiff extended his hand and made a gesture of invitation. Xie Shuting nodded as a thank you and led the two of them back.
......
In the main hall of the county government office, Xie Tingwen sat upright, holding a copy of the Analects in his hand and examining it carefully. Suddenly, a noisy sound came from outside the county government office, attracting everyone's attention.
Xie Tingwen put down the Analects in his hand and said with a hint of displeasure: "Why is there such a commotion outside the door?"
Not long after, a yamen runner ran in quickly, leaned over to Xie Tingwen and said, "Sir! There are many people outside the door, they must be here to watch the case."
Xie Tingwen didn't think much about it and immediately ordered: "Open the middle door and let the elders and villagers of Laigu County come in to watch the case."
Sun Cheng wanted to remind them not to let the public get involved in this matter, but before he could finish his words, he was blocked by Xie Tingwen.
He sighed helplessly, suppressed the worries in his heart, and sat down in front of the desk properly again.
The people outside the door rushed in all at once, and at the same time Cao Zhen escorted Liu Ping and his party back to the lobby of the county government office.
Without waiting for Liu Ping to react, Xie Tingwen slammed the gavel and shouted coldly, "Who is in the hall? Tell me your name."
"woo woo woo woo!"
Liu Ping pouted with a rebellious attitude, which made Cao Zhen very unhappy, but now in the lobby, he didn't dare to go too far.
Looking at Liu Ping's actions, Xie Tingwen was a little puzzled and asked, "Why is this happening?"
Cao Zhen hurriedly leaned forward and said, "Your Excellency! When I went to summon Liu Ping, he was flirting with decent women on the street, saying vulgar words. I took the initiative to silence him."
"Oh! This villain has not changed his bad nature and even dared to commit murder in the street. Is there any witness?" Xie Tingwen asked coldly.
"There are witnesses, but the young lady is not convenient to come forward, so the maid will come forward to testify." Cao Zhen bowed his head.
"Crack!~"
Xie Tingwen slammed the gavel again and said, "Send the maid to the classroom."
Lian Xi walked slowly up to the hall upon hearing this, bowed to Xie Tingwen who was sitting on the main seat and said, "Master! This playboy flirted with the young lady in the street, Master, you can't let him off easily."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Apart from the people watching the case from the outside, the most frightened ones were the yamen runners who were going to arrest Liu Ping.
Xie Tingwen glanced at Liu Ping and his group with a gloomy face, then looked at Lian Xi and asked, "How is the young lady?"
"Reporting to the master, the young lady is fine and has returned to the mansion."
Xie Tingwen instantly breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand and asked Lian Xi to go first, then he looked at Liu Ping and the others with a hint of coldness in his eyes and said, "Come here, remove their restraints, I want to question them."
Among the people who were arrested, except Liu Ping who still looked unruly, the others had already been frightened to the point of incontinence, and a sudden smell of urine wafted through the main hall.
Although their mouths were blocked, their ears were still very sensitive. When they heard that the person they had just teased was the county magistrate's daughter, they knew that this matter would not end well.
As the saying goes, "A prefect who wipes out an entire family, and a county magistrate who ruins a family." This is no joke. If an official wants to kill you, it only takes a few minutes.
After removing their restraints and realizing the seriousness of the situation, they began to cry out, "Sir! I really didn't know that girl was your daughter, otherwise I wouldn't dare to do it even if I had ten guts!"
"Please forgive me, sir! Please forgive me, sir!"
"Sir! I know I was wrong. I know I was wrong."
"Sir! I have an eighty-year-old mother and hungry children. Please forgive my previous mistakes."
"Crack!~"
Xie Tingwen slammed the gavel, and the originally noisy main hall instantly quieted down. Liu Ping did not speak from beginning to end, and still looked at Xie Tingwen with a smug expression.
Facing such a contemptuous look, Xie Tingwen sneered and said, "Who is kneeling in the hall?"
"Liu Ping, son of County Lieutenant Liu, are you the county magistrate?"
"Why? I don't look like that?"
Liu Ping shook his head, looked at Xie Tingwen and said, "What a pity. I'm afraid you won't be able to hold this position for more than a month. Now that you've offended me, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold this position for more than half a month."
"Oh! My appointment is a document issued by the Ministry of Personnel. Do you think you can still influence my future?" Xie Tingwen asked with a smile.
There was a hint of tentativeness in his words, because he had already heard a hint of conspiracy in Liu Ping's words.
"You have no say in this matter. Just wait and see what happens when my father comes back!" Liu Ping still looked calm and composed, not afraid of Xie Tingwen's majesty at all.
The woman surnamed Cao rushed over and grabbed Liu Ping by the collar, saying, "Give me back my granddaughter. Where did you take her to?"
Liu Ping's face was scratched, and the situation got out of control in an instant with his roar. Xie Tingwen immediately slammed the gavel and shouted at the bailiff to quickly separate the two men.
