Divorce the bad husband, store grain fields, and marry the emperor's uncle for the second time

County Magistrate Liu quickly read over the petition and waved his hand for the bailiff to go to the court.

He stood up and bowed to Yan Heng, "Your Majesty..."

"It's Mr. Yan." Yan Heng corrected.

County Magistrate Liu frowned. The prince didn't want to be called that, but was willing to be called an ordinary young man. What was Yan Heng trying to do?

Considering that this master has always had a strange temper, even the current emperor dares not to offend him, and can only serve him, coax him, and appease him.

County Magistrate Liu had no choice but to obey.

"Yes, Mr. Yan." County Magistrate Liu nodded, "I have to go to the court. Mr. Yan, I will leave now."

Yan Heng stood up and flicked her sleeves. "I'll sit behind the scenes and listen."

County Magistrate Liu was slightly surprised. Yan Heng never cared about government affairs, so why did he want to attend the court session today?

But he didn't dare to object, "Yes."

-

Xia Xiaorou didn't have to wait too long before the bailiff who received the complaint came out and said, "Xia, the master is here."

"Thank you, big brother, the yamen runner." Xia Xiaorou nodded and followed him into the lobby.

Zhou Maoxun checked the two men's mules and horses, made sure they were tied securely, and then entered the lobby.

In the hall, many yamen runners were standing on both sides, and sitting right above them was County Magistrate Liu, who was in his thirties.

The gavel rang, and Xia Xiaorou and Zhou Maoxun knelt down and bowed to greet the emperor.

Magistrate Liu shook the complaint paper and asked in a routine manner, "Who is kneeling in the hall? Who do you want to sue? Why?"

Who do you want to sue?

Why sue?

Xia Xiaorou took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and answered loudly.

"Xia Xiaorou, a native of Shuangliu Village, Sanlidian Township, wants to sue her ex-husband, Song Wenshan, a fellow villager!"

She listed Song Wenshan's crimes one by one.

It was also said that Song Wenshan had killed someone and was hiding somewhere.

"Please arrest Song Wenshan immediately. If you are late, he will flee to another county. By then, the case on your hands will become an unsolved case, which will inevitably affect your political achievements."

County Magistrate Liu was surprised, "I never thought that a common woman like you would think of political achievements."

"If there is one less murderer in our county, there will be more peace, and the people in the county will be more grateful to the county magistrate." Xia Xiaorou added.

"Ms. Xia, how do you know that Song Wenshan is the murderer?" asked County Magistrate Liu.

Xia Xiaorou lowered her eyes.

How to know?

Of course, I overheard what Mr. and Mrs. ** Chang said before I died in my previous life.

But of course, this would not convince the county magistrate.

"I found out about this after I overheard the secret conversation between Song Wenshan's parents." Xia Xiaorou replied, "Also, Song Wenshan's mistress, Lan Ruxin, was a singer at Baihua Tower. The man who was beaten to death was once Lan Ruxin's benefactor."

When Xia Xiaorou mentioned Lan Ruxin, she laughed sarcastically in her heart.

Song Wenshan was a distinguished scholar, but he would rather marry a singing girl from a brothel than a hardworking farm girl like her.

Fine, she divorced Song Wenshan, and let him and Lan Ruxin live together as he wished.

County Magistrate Liu glanced at the petition again and shouted to the runners on his left and right, "Captain Chen, take your men to Huang Wufu's home in Heishui Village, Shuangyan Township, and arrest Song Wenshan and Lan Ruxin!"

"Yes, my lord!"

A big captain of the police walked out of the line and waved to the left and right. Six yamen runners followed him and hurriedly walked out of the yamen and rode towards Shuangyan Township.

County Magistrate Liu retreated to the back hall, while Xia Xiaorou and Zhou Maoxun stood in the front hall waiting.

"Xiao Rou, are you tired? If you are tired, why not sit on the threshold outside the yamen for a while?" Zhou Maoxun asked Xia Xiaorou in a low voice.

Yan Heng walked out from behind the scenes and saw from the side door that Zhou Maoxun was standing next to Xia Xiaorou, whispering something.

Behave in an intimate manner.

Yan Heng's face suddenly turned dark.

"Sir Liu, ask that Xia to come to the back hall. I have something to ask her." Yan Heng glanced at Xia Xiaorou again, nodded to County Magistrate Liu, and walked towards the back hall with a stern expression.

County Magistrate Liu was confused. Yan Heng wanted to see Xia?

Why?

After watching Yan Heng leave, County Magistrate Liu returned to the front hall and said to Xia Xiaorou, "Xia, come to the back hall!"

Xia Xiaorou raised her eyebrows slightly, feeling doubtful, but still nodded and said, "Yes, sir."

Zhou Maoxun stopped Xia Xiaorou, walked up to County Magistrate Liu and asked, "Sir, why did you let her enter the back hall?"

"Hmm?" County Magistrate Liu looked at Zhou Maoxun with a cold face.

Why? He also wanted to know.

Zhou Maoxun noticed that the county magistrate's face had turned gloomy, and he was so scared that he dared not say a word.

"It's okay, cousin Zhou, we have to trust the county magistrate." Xia Xiaorou nodded to Zhou Maoxun and followed County Magistrate Liu to the back hall.

Seeing the person sitting in the back hall, Xia Xiaorou was surprised for a moment, but when she thought of his identity, her expression quickly returned to normal.

Xia Xiaorou walked forward and bowed to Yan Heng.

"Let's sit down and talk." Yan Heng raised his hand and pointed at the stool in front of him.

During Xia Xiaorou's pregnancy, she should not stand for long periods of time.

She had just stood in the lobby for half an hour, and her legs were already sore and her lower abdomen was aching.

She was afraid that others would notice that she was pregnant, so she didn't dare touch her belly.

Yan Heng asked her to sit down. She breathed a sigh of relief, thanked him, and sat down.

County Magistrate Liu stepped forward, bowed to Yan Heng and said, "Lord Yan, this is the person who filed the complaint, Xia."

"Yeah." Yan Heng didn't look up at County Magistrate Liu, nor at Xia Xiaorou. She held the tea bowl and drank tea attentively.

County Magistrate Liu couldn't figure out what Yan Heng meant. He turned around and looked at Xia Xiaorou and discovered a clue.

Although Xia Xiaorou was wearing a dark blue widow's outfit, with her hair tied into a bun with blue cloth and a cow horn comb, and without any shiny jewelry and no makeup on her face, she had a slim figure and a charming appearance.

Her eyes were full of charm and her voice was soft and sweet, both of which were captivating.

Yan Heng is a young man, at an age when he is difficult to be satisfied. Maybe he has set his eyes on Xia?

County Magistrate Liu understood what he meant and quietly withdrew. When he left, he also took away the two maids who were standing in the room.

The two maids were not very old, and after Yan Heng walked into the small hall, they kept staring at her with greedy eyes.

I hope Yan Heng will take a look at them, or even better, fall in love with them and take them away.

His status was higher than that of the county magistrate, he was young and handsome, even if he could not be a concubine, being a maid in Yan Heng's room was better than being a maid in the county magistrate's mansion.

You know, the county magistrate is already in his thirties, an old man.

The two maids were taken away by County Magistrate Liu with resentful looks on their faces. The small hall was so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard.

"Mr. Yan...is there something wrong?" Xia Xiaorou asked boldly when she saw that there was no one else in the room.

She didn't know why Yan Heng suddenly appeared here, so she asked cautiously and tentatively.

Yan Heng did not answer, but lowered her eyes and drank tea.

Xia Xiaorou, "..."

She was also thirsty. Seeing that Yan Heng didn't look at her, she quietly picked up the tea bowl on the table beside her and poured herself a glass of water to drink.

Yan Heng glanced at her, put down the teacup, and picked up the book to read.

Xia Xiaorou, "..." What does he mean?

But now is her most critical moment. She dare not offend Yan Heng and can only sit there in silence.

At the door of the front hall, Zhou Maoxun, worried about Xia Xiaorou, kept circling in anxiety.

But he didn't dare to break into the back hall, so he had to ask the gatekeeper, "Young man, my cousin has entered the back hall, why hasn't she come out yet?"

"I don't know."

Shanliang came over, glanced at Zhou Maoxun, curled her lips slightly, went back to the back hall, and whispered a few words to Yan Heng.

Yan Heng pursed her lips, "Let him wait!"

He glanced at Xia Xiaorou, threw away the book, closed his eyes and rested.

Xia Xiaorou, "..." What is Yan Heng up to? She didn't dare to ask Yan Heng, so she stood up and walked towards Shanliang, asking in a low voice, "What on earth does your husband want from me?"

Shanshan shrugged, said nothing, and left.

Xia Xiaorou, "..."

What serious illness has befallen this master and servant today?

She had no choice but to sit back down.

She found some snacks on the table, and while Yan Heng was dozing off and not noticing her, she, who was hungry, started to show off one snack after another.

After eating snacks and drinking tea, Yan Heng was still not awake.

Xia Xiaorou thought about it, then simply walked to the small couch beside her and leaned over.

As soon as he leaned forward, he fell asleep.

Yan Heng slowly opened her eyes.
