Chapter 269 Human nature (2)
Xiao Zhixian didn't speak.Whoever gets involved in this case is unlucky.Although Wu Zhenjiang was an official abroad and lived in De County for a long time, he was known as a lustful man.If it is said that another fourth-rank official has defiled a woman from a good family in the wild, he doesn't believe it, and thinks directly about planting the blame.But this fourth-rank official was replaced by Wu Zhenjiang, and he believed that it was true without any doubt.

The county assistant is also a transparent person, racking his brains to ask Xiao Zhixian to pull him, "Master Zhixian, Miss Gu has spoken, if you can't get justice, you must look good."

Xiao Zhixian's eyes immediately changed, "Miss Gu? Which Miss Gu?" He thought in his heart, it couldn't be the aunt he was thinking of!
The county assistant made a bitter face, "Ms. Gu from Kangxi Town." He almost brought out the word fierce. If he hadn't realized it by himself before the exit, he might have caused some trouble. "It just so happened that the widow and beloved daughter of General Zhongwu and Bai Xianfu's wife went to Ningyun Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha today. What's even more coincidental is that the woman and maid who were tied up after breaking the incident were from Bai Xianfu's mansion. Among the three maids who were knocked unconscious in the back was Miss Gu's personal maid. Miss Gu said that her maids should not be beaten in vain. Also, Miss Gu said that as a woman, she hates men who bully women."

Xiao Zhixian really wanted to sigh, he had discovered that as long as he had anything to do with Gu Qingshu, his aunt, there would always be a huge disturbance and it would be out of control.As for the person who stands against Gu Qingshu, what will happen to him... Others may not know, but a reliable person told him that there are two reasons for the downfall of the Xiao family and Concubine Xiao, one is that he really committed a crime The second thing is that he offended Gu Qingshu and Gufu.Gu Qingshu himself does not have the ability to bring down the powerful Xiao family, but the people behind Gu Qingshu can.However, this time it was just Gu Qingshu's maid who was knocked out, she would not anger Wu Zhenjiang and the Wu family, he didn't know what he was thinking.

The county assistant observed the words and expressions, and felt that there was something to be said, "Master magistrate, look at this matter..."

Xiao Zhixian really didn't want to get involved in this matter, but he was the parent officer of De County.The incident happened in Kant Town, and within his jurisdiction, he couldn't avoid it, "The case happened under your rule, so naturally you wrote the note and handed it in, so why don't you want me to do it for you?" Fourth-rank officer How could they, local officials, be able to convict them?This matter should of course be reported to the magistrate and the imperial court.Next, they are only responsible for detaining Wu Zhenjiang well before the above-mentioned person is mentioned.As for who will be tried and how, whether they will be released or sentenced, it is not something that these little magistrates can say.

The county assistant even said he didn't dare, but he couldn't figure out Xiao Zhixian's attitude in his heart.

Seeing him anxious, Xiao Zhixian said something, "You did a good job." Standing up, "It's late at night, and the magistrate is exhausted."

The magistrate of the county assistant immediately understood, and hastily arranged people to arrange a residence for Xiaozhi County, and the government servants who followed Xiaozhi County also made arrangements properly.Afterwards, he asked the cell boss to confess in person, "The lord inside, you have taken good care of me. But there is one thing that is locked up. No one is allowed to approach or visit except you. It is the yamen. The yamen servants in the village and the police are not good. If there is any mistake in this matter, you will lose your head, understand?"

The cell boss in his 40s nodded and bowed in agreement.

When the head of the prison retreated, the county assistant called the head of the fast arrest and the master to him, and also confessed, "When the yamen opens tomorrow, who will inquire and who will ask, all you can say is 'just wait for the above. You don’t know anything else. Besides, if the Wu family comes to ask to release people, you tell them, ‘This county assistant has no right to release people, and everything must follow the instructions of the superior.’”

The master and the head of the police repeatedly said yes and withdrew.

Mr. Xianfu couldn't sleep yet, so he sat in the study and picked up the five memorials he had written earlier, read them again and again, eliminated three of them and burned them, leaving only two to spread out on the case, back and forth on the floor pacing.At dawn, he finally selected a share, and felt that the wording and attitude in it were the most ideal, so he burned the eliminated share.

As soon as the town gate opened, the two government servants left Kangde Town with their respective missions.The magistrate of the county has a memorial sent to the prefect of Chen in Jinyang City, and Xiaozhi County naturally also has a memorial to the prefect of Chen.

It was bright day, Qing Shu got up to wash up, and then ate breakfast slowly.Gu Ye sat across from Qing Shu with a pair of panda eyes on his face, his face was gloomy like a mourning concubine.Qing Shu was not affected, and concentrated on eating.

Gu Ye couldn't eat anything by himself, and he didn't want to see others eat, so he patted the table, "Don't eat."

Amidst the trembling of the dishes, Qing Shu raised her eyes lightly, "Is this the upbringing of your young lady?" In the etiquette of the ancients, the cups, plates and dishes should be handled with care, and you can't pat the table, especially you can't pat the meal. used table.

More than speaking, more than reasoning, Gu Ye has never been Qing Shu's opponent.She was so angry with you for a long time, and finally asked Qing Shu weakly and softly, "When will you go back home?"

Qing Shu wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, "What's the rush? My maid was beaten, and she hasn't been given justice yet!"

Gu Yeshi choked, "You... are just a slave, is it worth it?"

"I think she deserves it, so she deserves it." Qing Shu silently added in her heart: more worthy than you.

Guan Pozi and Xiao Yu silently put away the table and brought out the food and dishes.Coincidentally, Mrs. Xianfu and Mrs. Bai met and came to their side.

After Qingshu asked Mrs. County Assistant and Mrs. Bai to sit down, she stood behind Gu Ye with a demure expression.

Mrs. Xianfu and Mrs. Bai looked at each other, and then Mrs. Bai said, "The master is not in good health recently. I don't know what's going on after being out for a day and a night." Then he glanced at Mrs. Xianfu, "Sister's house chores are also Duo, now we are preparing for the marriage of our children, and we can't delay it when we are away. We are going to go back when the sun is just right, I don't know what my sister is planning?" The younger sister's name was Gu Ye's, but her eyes turned to Qing Shu behind Gu Ye.Everyone knows that Qing Shu is the head of the Gu Mansion and the one who can make up his mind, and the Gu Ye family is just a decoration.

Gu Yeshi naturally wanted to go back, but she couldn't decide this matter, so she opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Qing Shu picked it up from the side with a slight smile, "My mother still has something to do, and I'm afraid it will take a long time. Since the two wives have urgent matters in the house, my mother can't force it, so I can only regretfully ask the two wives to go first." Please take a step."

In the past, even if Mrs. Xianfu and Mrs. Bai had to go first, they would definitely say something beautiful before saying goodbye.No, the two of them seemed to have reached a consensus today, they followed Qing Shu's words and left the inn within a quarter of an hour.

Feeling the change in their attitudes, Gu Ye frowned, "What are they?"
