peasant young lady

Chapter 230 I have a request

"Bold and unruly, how dare you talk to the county magistrate like that!" Zheng Guan hadn't opened his mouth to express his opinion, but a yamen servant at the side recognized Cheng Xia.

The woman in front of him was the one who had a dispute with the former county magistrate, and he followed her to Qingxian village to arrest her, because this daring woman dared to turn the former county magistrate's cousin into a eunuch.

The county magistrate had given him a lot of money before he left so that he could take care of his cousin and others. Now when he sees this woman, he feels that things are not easy.

Seeing that the yamen under him dared to make a move in front of his face, Zheng Guan slapped the gavel suddenly, and shouted, "Get off!" Is it the old eyes that are too dim to see clearly, or the ears that are too deaf to hear, do you need to make up my mind for me?"

"Small, I dare not."

"If you dare to go overboard again, I want you to look good!" Zheng Guan said coldly, "Back off!"

"Yes, the villain obeys." The man didn't dare to say more, he just wanted to sneak out to see Brother Wang when he had time.

Zheng watched Cheng Xia and sized her up for a long time before saying in a deep voice, "Come in with me."

Zheng Guan led her into the inner hall, turned to look at Cheng Xia, "What's the matter?"

Cheng Xia took a careful look at the upright and upright Zheng Guan in history, saw him frowning and staring at her, and hurriedly coughed lightly to get down to business, "Master, I don't know if you know that there used to be a casino in Songwa Village, which let us in Chong'an County Shili The people in the eight townships all go to gamble, which makes the atmosphere in that area particularly bad."

Zheng Guan nodded with his hands behind his back, and said with a cold face, "Naturally, I have brought people to conduct a thorough investigation, but nothing was found. I asked the people nearby, and they only said that they had all withdrawn. It's gone." He knew clearly that the casino owner had something to do with Zhao Dezhong.

"Master County, I can find their current address, so you can catch all gamblers in one go." Cheng Xia said with certainty.

"Oh?" Zheng Guan was taken aback for a moment, then gave Cheng Xia a serious look again, "Where are they?"

Cheng Xia raised her eyebrows, "I don't know yet, but if the county magistrate follows me, I will naturally find a way to find their hiding place."

Zheng watched Cheng Xia's serious look and suddenly smiled, "Little girl, you are quite courageous."

Seeing that Zheng Guan was obviously joking, Cheng Xia immediately laughed, "To be honest, I want to use the hands of the county magistrate to eradicate these scum, because of them, many families were ruined, and even their wives were killed to pay off their gambling debts." Selling children is really an outrage, I just don't want them to continue to get away with it."

"You have enmity with them?" Zheng Guan asked.

"Yes," Cheng Xia nodded affirmatively, "There is a grudge."

"Okay," Zheng Guan smiled happily, "People like you are missing, but you have to promise that if you can't find their lair by then, I will punish you."

"Don't worry, my lord, I'm sure nothing will go wrong." Cheng Xia said confidently, "This matter will require the magistrate to run around once more."

"What's the matter!" Zheng Guanhun didn't care, "Don't talk about running around once, even running around ten times, as long as they can be arrested and brought to justice, it will be worth it."

Before leaving the inner hall, Cheng Xia suddenly remembered something, "The county magistrate, the yamen servant just now seems to have some ideas, if we let him go with us, I'm afraid something bad will happen."

Zheng Guan smiled, "I have my own measure."

Cheng Xia went directly outside and waited. After a long time, until the sun was about to rise to the middle of the sky, he saw the county magistrate leaving the government office with a dozen office servants.What surprised Cheng Xia was that these yamen servants had all changed into ordinary clothes, and the logo of the yamen could not be seen from the appearance alone.

Two horse-drawn carriages drove by, and all the government servants got into one of the large but obviously simple carriages, while Zheng Guan called Cheng Xia over to get into the other small but delicate one.

Cheng Xia thanked Zheng Guan for his hard work.

"Master County, let's go to Qingxian Village first. That's the village where I live. I'll tell you what happened in detail."

After Cheng Xia finished talking all the way, seeing that Zheng Guan understood, he continued, "The people you brought have bigger goals after all, we can hide on the mountain next to the east end of the village first, and wait until we find out where the group of gamblers are. Let's go out again."

"Yes," Zheng Guan nodded, "You are more familiar with it, so follow what you said."

Cheng Xia suddenly felt grateful to the magistrate of the county, he is really a good official, and there are really not many officials who listen to the opinions of the people like this.

The carriage galloped to Qingxian Village, Zheng Guan instructed the Yacha who was driving to stop at the foot of the mountain, and then told them to go up the mountain quickly, to find a place to hide first, so that no one would find out.

Zheng Guan stood with Cheng Xia at the foot of the mountain in a place shaded by a jungle. Zheng Guan waved his hand and asked a government servant who was close to him to come over, and gave him a few instructions in a low voice. Go to the dilapidated house where you live.

Cheng Xia watched from a distance, and saw that the yamen servant suddenly changed his expression when he came to the door, and knocked on the door in great surprise.

Then I saw Cuihua open the door of the room, and the two of them chatted for a while, and then saw Cuihua entered the room again with a happy face, and the clerk was waiting beside him.

Seeing Cuihua coming out, Zheng Guan in the distance suddenly opened his eyes wide. He looked at Cheng Xia in disbelief, "Is she still pregnant?"

Cheng Xia nodded, thinking that if she wasn't pregnant, she could really solve her by herself, without bothering the magistrate's prison.

Cheng Xia's plan is to let a government official serve as one of Wang Ge's subordinates. No matter how shrewd Cuihua is, it is impossible to know everyone in the casino thoroughly.

Yacha happily went to tell Cuihua that Brother Wang got a treasure and wanted to give it to Cuihua, and asked her to go over now to see if she liked it.Cuihua is naturally happy, as long as she goes to the casino, Cheng Xia will know where those gamblers live now.

After a while, Cuihua dressed up and went out without bringing the child, Cheng Xia couldn't help shaking her head, Cuihua is such a mother, she really doesn't care about the child at all.

Cuihua walked and talked to the Yachai brother, the originally very cold brother could only answer with a smile, the two of them sang together and got along well.

Cheng Xia saw them still walking in the direction of Songwa Village, and was taken aback. Are they still in Songwa Village?Just hide it?

Now it's time for lunch, and the smoke from cooking at home has stopped, so there are not many people coming out of the village.Zheng watched the Yacha and Cuihua go a little farther, until they were almost out of sight, and then told all the Yacha to follow, but spread out, so as not to make people alert.

Cheng Xia and Zheng Guan followed Cuihua and walked forward for a while before arriving at the yard where the casino in Songwa Village used to be, but Cuihua did not stop and continued walking.

Cheng Xia watched her walk for a while, and walked into a deserted courtyard. Before entering the door, she cautiously glanced left and right. locked.

Cheng Xia and Zheng Guan hurriedly sneaked to the gate and looked in through the crack of the door. They saw the servant suddenly clutching his stomach and saying that his stomach hurts. Cuihua anxiously looked at the Ye Mingzhu he was talking about, and impatiently waved his hand to let him Solve it by yourself, and then walked in the door.

The yacha stood in the yard and watched what Cuihua did after entering the door. Seeing that she was gone, he quickly turned back and opened the gate, letting Zheng Guan and Cheng Xia go in quickly, and sent all the yamen who came with them Let them all into the yard.

Zheng Guan entered the room and looked around, but he didn't see anyone, so he couldn't help asking, "Where is anyone?"

The clerk quickly turned a disc on the south wall, and after a while, a narrow door appeared on that wall, which turned out to be a secret room.

It was the first time for Cheng Xia to see such a scene that could only be seen on TV, but she didn't have time to get excited, so Zheng Guan waved his hand, making all the clerks rush in.

Almost at the same time, the people in the secret room also started to break out. It should be that Cuihua and Wang Ge met and found something was wrong, so they wanted to escape, but they were caught by Zheng Guan's men.

"Hey," Brother Wang saw Cheng Xia who appeared behind Zheng Guan, and felt that something was wrong, so he knelt down and begged for mercy, "Master, please forgive me, what are you going to do? I'm an honest and good citizen Ah." Brother Wang was tied up by the yamen's servant, and he still burst into tears to report.

Damn, it's all Cuihua, if it wasn't for him, I would have been discovered somewhere.

"Tie me up and go!" Zheng watched as the gamblers who ran out were all tied up, impatiently asked them to wait, and went into the secret room by himself, and Cheng Xia quickly followed.

Cheng Xia didn't expect that the secret room was so big, there were five or six big tables inside, and there were dice on each table, it could be seen that they were playing vigorously just now.Besides the gamblers who just ran out, there were also Cuihua who hadn't run away or was left behind in the secret room, and Yang Erlang who was unconscious at the moment with his hands tied to the wooden frame last time.

As soon as Cuihua saw Cheng Xia, she was about to start scolding, but because the county magistrate was by her side, she could only plop down on her knees, clutching her stomach and begging for mercy, "Minister county, I was wronged." Unmoved by Guan, Cuihua fell to the ground and began to cry out in pain, "Oh, my stomach."

Zheng Guan watched her play with a cold face, and asked the Yacha to tie up Cuihua, walked up to Yang Erlang and patted his face vigorously, "Wake up." Seeing that he didn't move, he stretched out his hand to test him again. Nose, still angry, Zheng Guan put him down with his own hands, then looked at Cheng Xia, "Do you know him?"

Cheng Xia pouted, "Actually, I would rather not know each other."

Zheng Guan suddenly laughed, "Since we know each other, let's send him home later."

Zheng Guan picked up a few dice, looked at them, threw them away, and turned to go outside the secret room, Cheng Xia hurriedly yelled.

Zheng Guan turned around, "What?"

Cheng Xia pursed her lips and pondered for a while, then said, "I have a request, and I hope the magistrate can help to fulfill it."

"what?"

"These people have done a lot of evil and harmed the village. I hope the county magistrate will allow them to squat in jail until they repent."
