Qu Zhengkun looked at the several families in the hall, the anger in his heart was suppressed and suppressed, and finally revived, he picked up the piece of shocking wood that was lifted and put away and lifted, slapped it on the hall case fiercely, and shouted angrily below, "One by one, let me sympathize with the people's feelings and love the people's sympathy, and I seem to ignore the affairs of your families, and sleep in the yamen every day."
Do you know that in order to find out the real murderer, I braved the scorching heat every day to run around the city, looking for the murderer door to door, and I didn't even sleep a few times, you are good, but you only said that the murderer was not caught, so he came to me to make trouble, and what kind of drum did he beat, so that the people of the whole city thought that I Qu Zhengkun was derelict in his duties and disregarded the lives of the people, a few of you" The more he spoke, the more excited he became, the sparse few beards were blown high, and the spittle stars were sprayed into the hall, "What should you be guilty of?"
” The few people kneeling in the hall were stunned by his "righteous words", how could they obviously come to sue, and in the end, they should be guilty.
Everyone was scolded, and they were speechless for a while, looking at the angry county magistrate with dumbfounded eyes, the hall and the hall were deadlocked, and both sides stopped talking, just confronting each other quietly.
Suddenly, the silent atmosphere was interrupted by a prolonged cry, Jiang Xixi collapsed on the ground, her already thin body was a little sickly under the background of a plain body, her thin shoulders trembled uncontrollably, and her breath changed from long to short, as if it would be broken at any time.
She barely straightened up under the support of Cheng Muyou and Xu Ziming, and shouted at Qu Zhengkun leisurely, "My lord, my lord, my Liu family's twenty-three people, are still lying in Yizhuang, if they can't catch the murderer for a day, they won't be able to bury them for a day, and my six-year-old cousin, who has not been found yet, how can you let me not be sad and bitter, this taste, adults may empathize."
Speaking of this, she paused for a moment, staring at Qu Zhengkun with a pair of teary eyes, "If the adults are really in love with the people, they will never let me wait for this to suffer every day, but I don't care." ” Qu Zhengkun's face was white and blue for a while when she was crying with blood, he pointed at Jiang Xixi, and tried his best to piece together a rebuttal sentence, but he looked for it, and was finally affected by the peeping basket, and he didn't say half a word.
But he couldn't refute it, but the majesty of his county lord couldn't be unpretended, so he shouted at the officials on both sides, "This woman despises the court, drag it down, drag it down." ” The officials were ordered, and they stepped forward to pull people, but as soon as they touched Jiang Xixi's arm, she suddenly gasped, rolled her eyes, crooked her neck, and fainted.
Seeing this, Xu Ziming pushed the two servants out, and he held Jiang Xixi's body, "My lord, so many people have died in our Liu family, do you still want to add another life to our family now?"
” Qu Zhengkun was also taken aback by this sudden situation, thinking about it, and finally didn't dare to let the situation develop further, it was already a big deal that so many lives occurred in a few days, if there are relatives of the deceased who died in the court now, he is afraid that this black gauze hat will really not be saved.
So, he waved his hand at the two servants, "You go find a room, let this girl rest for a while, and when she is in better spirits, let her go."
After speaking, he looked at the other people, "I understand the demands of a few of you, but now that you are in the government, it will only hinder us from handling the case, so it is better to go home and wait for the news."
Don't worry, no matter how powerful the murderer is, I will definitely arrest you back, and never let these veterans who shed blood for the country die in vain. ” The others saw that Jiang Xixi had fainted, so it was not easy to make any more trouble, and Qu Zhengkun swore by beating his chest like this, and it would seem a little unreasonable to be entangled any longer, so several people left first under the leadership of the officials.
Jiang Xixi was carried to a side room in the backyard by two officials, and Cheng Muyou and Xu Zimingquan also followed her and stayed with her.
The two officials took some water and tea sets, and told them again to leave as soon as they woke up, and then retreated first.
Hearing the door of the house close, Jiang Xixi opened one eye and slammed Cheng Mu Nunu's mouth, "My lord, I acted quite like it, and I fooled that Qu Zhengkun." ” Cheng Muyou gave her a thumbs up, and then walked to the window and looked out cautiously, "If my inference is right, then the murderer is from the county government, he knows that we are coming, and he will definitely take precautions, the murderer is vicious, and he will use evil arts, so everyone must be extra careful in this operation." ” Jiang Xixi jumped up from the bed, hid behind Cheng Muyou and looked outside, "This Liaoyang County is not big, but the county government is in a grand manner, and it looks bigger than our Xin'an Mansion, but fortunately, most of these officials are out now, so we can take this opportunity to search it well." ” Cheng Muyou nodded, "After a while, we will divide our troops into three ways, and after a stick of incense, we will gather here." ” After finishing speaking, he stared at the outside, saw an opportunity when there was no one around, waved his hand behind him, and strode into the courtyard with Jiang Xixi and Xu Ziming, and rushed away in three different directions.
After walking along the hall for a while, Cheng Muyou heard a sound of footsteps in front of him, so he hurriedly flashed behind the wall on the side and waited for someone to pass without moving. didn't think about it, but the two people who came over stood still, leaning on the wall and chatting about the day, listening to the voice, it should be the maid who served the county lady.
One of them said impatiently, and said to the other, "I'm afraid that our second lady doesn't think that this county government is a palace, and after marrying in, she either wants to eat this or that all day long, and guess what, she actually asked me if I have quiches and milk tea today, what is it, I have never heard of it." ” The other took over, "At first glance, she is a person who has never seen the world, so she is so concerned about food, the eldest lady is soft-hearted and does not want to worry about her, she really regards herself as the mistress of this county government." ” "Madame is not careless, she doesn't care, now she is being favored by the master, pestering the master like a monkey all day long, Madame just wants to say something, the master will not listen."
After the two of them finished speaking, they left again, Cheng Muyou stood behind the wall, lowered his eyebrows and pondered for a while, and then ran towards the backyard of the county office.
