The first wife of the strongest peasant daughter

Chapter 149

Nanle County is not far from the border between Dali and Beichen Kingdom. It is considered a frontier position, and it is also a place for business travel between the two countries. It is said that if it develops well, it should be able to prosper and become an important place.

However, people's livelihood in this county is poor and backward.

Nanle County is adjacent to the Zhang River, and due to its special geographical location, the Zhang River flows from the Taihang Mountains at an altitude of more than 1000 meters into the cross-flowing Yellow River, but it is only a few tens of kilometers long, and it really flows straight down [-] feet!The drop is large, the water flow is rushing, and there are often floods.

When there is a drought, the river stops flowing, and the people who depend on the sky for food can only look at the dry fields and want to cry without tears.And when mountain torrents break out, launching floods is another disaster.

That's not to mention, Gu Chuhan read the information, there is still a prevailing practice in Nanle County, to marry the God of the River.

Because of the flooding of the Zhang River, witches appeared in Nanle County to offer sacrifices to the river god and marry a daughter-in-law to the river god to appease the anger of the river god and prevent the river god from flooding.

Li Erlang has watched it several times and felt very surprised, "Jiulang! This Nanle County marrying a daughter-in-law to the God of the River can really calm the anger of the God of the River? Can Nanle County be blessed with good weather and a good harvest for the people? Why is it so? magic!"

"The common people believe in it ignorantly! The wicked are making trouble!" Gu Chu coldly snorted.Returning the river god to marry a wife can calm the anger of the river god, even if there is something in the river, it is not a good thing!She still doesn't believe that throwing in a beautiful bride can bless the people on both sides of the strait with good weather and a good harvest!It's just those master witches who arrange to marry the river god for personal gain, and they can make a lot of money!
Qingquan frowned, "Ninth Young Master! Even the slaves can see what's going on here. The previous county magistrates failed to manage Nanle County well, and no one can manage this matter. They planned to let you go. You don’t need them to do anything. If you take a strong governance and violate the interests of those people, those people will kill you because they see that we have no power! No matter how much I protect you! I can’t advance or retreat! This is simply a dilemma to harm you!”

Li Erlang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "This is killing people with a borrowed knife! Don't dare to come here secretly, just play such a bright game!"

"It's said that the emperor has a headache in this place, and he sent several waves of people, but nothing happened! If I can do it well, it's not a credit! It's a shining credit!" Gu Chuhan laughed again.

Seeing her as a child, Qingquan couldn't help laughing, "Your Excellency! You are a county magistrate now! You still think about credit! Let's save our lives first!"

"I leave the safety on the road to you!" Gu Chuhan patted Qingquan.

Qingquan is of course duty-bound, even if he tries his best, he will definitely protect her safe and sound!Otherwise, he will never be able to explain to the young master!
After all, Su Jin was still worried, so she gave two more guards, Fujing and Nianwei, to protect her.

Both of them had cold faces. When Gu Chuhan saw the two of them just now, he thought they were not human beings, but ghosts found by Su Jin. When he accidentally asked them out, he was despised by them.

However, there was no danger along the way, and he arrived at Nanle County safely.

Gu Chuhan didn't go to the county government office first, but dressed up like a son, and took Qingquan Heihu Shizan around Nanle County to inquire.

Everyone only thought that she was a business traveler from the past, or some son or young master, and was curious about the customs of Nanle County, but Barabara, who had no privateness, told her all about the river god's marriage.

After several days of open and unannounced visits, Gu Chuhan got first-hand information.

After a long period of development, marrying a wife to the God of the River has become a custom in Nanle County!Even if Nanle County has a good geographical location, it can't hold back the river god's marriage once a year!The witch master came forward to arrange the marriage, and those officials took the opportunity to collect money, collecting as much as 200 million taels of silver from taxes every year, but even if it was arranged by the river god to marry a wife, even one tenth of it would not be needed!

The common people have suffered a lot, and they should also thank the witches for their benefit to the people, and beg the river god to bless the weather!Bless the harvest!

Frequent floods and disasters, bad feudal customs, and people fleeing for their lives made what should have been a good place even more barren and miserable!
And all the officials of the county government were waiting for the newly appointed magistrate, and they were puzzled because they couldn't wait.

Gu Chuhan's investigation was almost complete, so he went back to the county town and ate at a roadside noodle restaurant.

Pan Yewei was yelling and hugging, wandering arrogantly and domineeringly in the street, when he suddenly saw Gu Chuhan eating noodles under the canopy on the road, his eyes lit up immediately.

Following his eyes from left to right, he saw that he was a handsome, handsome, androgynous young man, knowing that he was not taboo about meat and vegetables, and he fell in love with this handsome and handsome young man, he immediately understood that he had his eyes on this man!

"Master! This one looks really top-notch! It looks like a stranger!" Pan Zhiyi said with a smile.

Hearing what he said, several other people also smiled and suddenly became lewd.

Pan Yewei stared at Gu Chuhan's delicate white and handsome face, because he ordered chili, his lips were bright red, red lips and white teeth were beautiful and handsome!A pair of slightly heroic brows and eyes, and translucent and clear phoenix eyes are even more attractive. He curled up the corners of his mouth in satisfaction, and stared at Gu Chuhan boldly and aggressively.

His eyes were too obvious. When Gu Chuhan raised his eyes, he saw the obscene eyes that he was bound to win. His eyes were cold and stern, and his face darkened.

Qingquan turned his head and saw Pan Yewei salivating and wretched and his friends staring at Gu Chuhan presumptuously. He was furious and stared at him like an arrow, "Presumptuous!"

"Hahahaha! Presumptuous!?" Pan Zhiyi and the others burst out laughing, wildly and presumptuously.

Pan Yewei also raised the corners of his mouth and smiled even wider, staring at Qingquan with disdain and aloofness in his eyes.

"It seems that you are from other places, I don't know, that is the uncle of the Pan family, you can't afford to mess with it!" The kind meal at the next table reminded them in a low voice.

Zhang Hongyu snorted proudly, "Do you know the Pan family!? If you don't know, let the big guys explain it to you! Are you still presumptuous? You are really presumptuous in front of Uncle Pan!"

The Pan family and the others naturally knew that during the past few days, the Pan family was the one who made the most unannounced visits!One of the gangs with vested interests involved in Heshen's marriage!

Seeing that they were silent for a while, Pan Zhiyi pointed at Gu Chuhan with a smile, "You! I mean you! Come and have a drink with our uncle! If you come here by yourself, you will benefit! If you don't eat the toast, you will only be punished!"

"Oh? If I don't go, what fine wine do you have for me?" Gu Chu raised his eyebrows coldly.

Her handsome and cold appearance made Pan Yewei even more ecstatic, "I just want to have a drink with you! Since you have come to Nanle County, I will do my best as a landlord!"

"Hurry up, you long-eyed ones! It's your luck that our uncle has a crush on you!" Pan Zhiyi yelled and threatened.

Gu Chu snorted coldly.

Fujing on the side had already flashed over, and slapped Pan Zhiyi hard on the face with two slaps.

Pan Zhiyi swayed from side to side, his ears twitched, and then he felt pain on his face, it was hot, and his mouth was full of bloody smell.

When he reacted, Fu Jing had already returned behind Gu Chuhan.

"You...you...you dare to hit me!?" Pan Zhiyi stared angrily, covered his face with one hand, and pointed at Fujing angrily with the other.

Pan Yewei's face also changed, and he glared at Gu Chuhan angrily, "Do you know whose territory this Nanle County belongs to?"

Gu Chuhan didn't move his place, didn't put his chopsticks down, and ate noodles with a bowl, "Listen to you, this Nanle County was your territory before?"

Pan Yewei snorted angrily and did not deny it, "How dare you hit my man! Go with the uncle now, make a good apology and apology, and maybe I will spare you!"

Fujing moved again, this time the target was him, slap, slap, slap twice.

Not only Pan Yewei and Zhang Hongyu were shocked, but even the people inside and outside the noodle shop stared in disbelief. Some people were afraid of being affected, and they retreated quietly.

"Dare to hit me, do you want to die!?" Pan Yewei yelled angrily.

Gu Chuhan finished eating the noodles in the bowl unhurriedly, and put down the bowl, "This Nanle County finally has something to offer, the noodles are pretty good!"

Seeing that she didn't take her group seriously at all, Pan Yewei became completely angry, "Grandpa, arrest those ignorant people!"

Immediately, five or six thugs rushed up to arrest Gu Chuhan.

When the people around saw it, they scattered in all directions, and looked at Gu Chuhan with sympathy.

However, I also saw that Gu Chuhan was well dressed, and the guard beside him was very skilled in martial arts, so he might not be at a disadvantage, so he waited to see the excitement.Let's see if this foreigner was bullied by Pan Yewei, or the arrogant and domineering Pan Yewei stumbled!

The six people didn't need Fujing and Nianwei to come forward at all, they went directly to Shi Zan and Heihu for more than a dozen rounds, knocking down all six of them.

"My lord! How to deal with it?" Shi Zan held two with both hands, and stepped on one.

Gu Chuhan turned his head, "Tie that rope up and put it in prison!"

"Yes!" Shi Zan replied, and quickly borrowed a rope to tie up the six thugs.

"You!? Try someone who dares to touch my uncle!" Pan Yewei saw that she had arrested his people three times and five times, and was about to throw him into the prison. His hatred grew stronger, and his eyes glared with fire. Gu Chuhan, the kid who dared to hit him and challenge the Pan family to comfort him!
"You and I are both moving, let alone a few lackeys!" Gu Chuhan stared at him coldly.

"Your family opened the yamen!?" Pan Yewei gritted his teeth and asked angrily.

Pan Zhiyi felt that he had auditory hallucinations in his ears just now, and pulled Pan Yewei, "Master! That person just called him an adult!?"

"I heard it too!" A young boy behind heard it.

The people who watched the excitement around heard it too, but they just didn't hear it clearly!
"Who are you?" Zhang Hongyu stared at Gu Chuhan.

Gu Chuhan stepped forward with his hands behind his back, "Didn't you just say that this Nanle County is the territory of the Pan family, the world of the Pan family? I am the one who came to grab the territory!"

Someone over there reported a message and called the patrolling yamen servants. Several yamen servants came over to see that Pan Yewei was actually being bullied, so he came up with an official knife, "Who are you? How dare you fight in the street and beat people!"

Shi Zan kicked up, kicked four or five yamen servants, and fell to the ground, howling in pain.

"You even dare to beat the officials!?" Hu Guanbao, who took the lead, cursed angrily.

Those who watched the excitement around could also see the difference. Not only were the masters and servants not afraid of the Pan family, but they were even able to handle official orders. What kind of identity was this?
Qingquan silently showed his official seal, "My master is the new magistrate of Nanle County!"

When the sound came out, everyone around was shocked and looked at Gu Chuhan in disbelief.Lord of the county! ?Such a young magistrate! ?
Hu Guanbao and the yamen servants were also taken aback. They had already received the news that the imperial court had sent a new county magistrate, who would take office soon.But I never imagined that it would be such a young person!

But the official seal was true, and everyone knelt down on the floor, "Cao Min has seen the county master!"

"Kowtow to the magistrate!"

"I have seen the county magistrate!"

Ulala saluted.

Hu Guanbao's complexion changed again and again, and he quickly got up and knelt down, "This subordinate has seen you!"

Pan Yewei, Pan Zhiyi, Zhang Hongyu and others also changed their faces.

"Who said just now that I don't eat fine wine for toasting?" Gu Chuhan stepped forward and glanced coldly at Pan Yewei and the others.

Zhang Hongyu knows that the Pan family is powerful, but the county magistrate is not as good as the current one!Right now, the county magistrate and the present officer are the same person, so the hero will not suffer from immediate losses!Furthermore, the new county magistrate brought along several masters at once, and ordinary people couldn't afford to hire one, so I'm afraid they weren't powerful backers.Busily cupped his hands to salute Gu Chuhan, "My lord! We are hospitable, just kidding with your lord! Please don't remember the villain!"

Pan Yewei narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a glint in his eyes.But a small county magistrate, he is not afraid!It's just that this person's rare top quality made him fall in love with it, but he became the county magistrate!

Pan Zhiyi also gave him a pull. Although he hated being beaten, the other party was an official, and the people around him were all masters, so it's not easy to mess with him!

Looking at Gu Chuhan's cold and stern gaze, Pan Yewei felt a shudder down his spine, and finally confessed, "My lord, forgive me! We really made a joke with you! I just said this joke, but I was beaten by my lord!"

Gu Chu coldly snorted, "I still want to see how the Pan family's territory is doing!" He said and waved to the people who were kneeling around him, "Get up!"

Qingquan followed her immediately.

Shi Zan and Heihu didn't release a few thugs, they escorted them directly to the county government.

Hu Guanbao and the others also got up quickly to help escort them.They are all aware of Pan Yewei's virtues, most likely because the new county magistrate is young and handsome, and he is coming from another country, and he has suffered from the old problem of broken sleeves. .It was obvious that they didn't intend to let it go, and they also went up to help escort it.

When Gu Chuhan and his party left, everyone started discussing in groups.

"This county magistrate is simply too young!"

"That's right! Not only is he young, but he's also so handsome, he doesn't look like a parent at all! He's just a handsome young man! Why did he come to our Nanle County to be the county magistrate?"

"I know! I know! I heard! The county magistrate this time was appointed by the imperial court! He has a lot of backers!"

Then they started discussing that the new county magistrate had offended the Pan family as soon as he arrived, and the Pan family was powerful and treacherous, so if the county magistrate didn't need to bother them, they would make trouble for the county magistrate!
Some people even commented, "This little county magistrate was born so handsome and looks young, he probably never got married!"

"Go back and find out! If you don't get married, maybe you will marry one in our Nanle County!"

Regardless of everyone's discussion, Gu Chuhan and his party came to the county government office.

The county magistrate Wang Guangyi and his master Wu Guangming rushed to greet him with a group of yamen servants.

Although I got the news beforehand, it took me a while to react when I saw Gu Chuhan, "I'm a low-ranking official, I've met my lord!"

Gu Chuhan glanced over the crowd coldly, "Wang Xiancheng, right? I just caught some bullies and thugs and beat people in the street! Let me show you, how should I deal with it?"

Wang Guangyi was taken aback when he heard this, but even if he wasn't familiar with the thugs around Pan Yewei, he probably recognized them. Seeing that she had arrested the Pan family members as soon as she took office, her eyes flickered, "My lord! This... who did they beat up?" ?”

"Hit me!" Gu Chuhan's voice was cold.

Wang Guangyi gasped, "My lord!?" He looked up and saw her jade-white face, which was handsome and beautiful, and he was so indistinguishable from male and female. Thinking of Pan Yewei's secret rumors, he was secretly startled.What an ancestor!It's okay to bully men and women, but now she has bullied the county magistrate!This is a county magistrate with a background!

His mind was spinning quickly, and he immediately came to a conclusion, and he was thrown into prison, and he will make a decision after interrogation.

Gu Chuhan raised his eyebrows and asked coldly, "Oh? There is still an interrogation, what is the interrogation? Why do they beat me in the street? I don't know the law well, so there is always a crime, right?"

Seeing that she was determined to come up with a solution, Wang Guangyi knew that she was testing him, so he said, "...Beating a court official is a felony, and each person should be beaten for [-] yuan and exiled for [-] miles."

"Well! I don't know much about the law, so let's do what Wang Xiancheng said!" Gu Chuhan waved his hand.

But Wang Guangyi felt a little cold in his heart.The new county magistrate kept saying he didn't understand, but he was soft on the outside and fine on the inside. He punished the servants of the Pan family and pushed him on the head. What a powerful character!

Several of Pan Yewei's thugs were immediately taken away. Each of them received [-] punishments, and then they were thrown into prison. They waited for the case to be submitted to the state capital to get a receipt, and then they were exiled.

This move made everyone in the county government know that she was young, but did not dare to underestimate her.

Gu Chuhan also took office and moved into the county government office.

All of a sudden, news of the new county magistrate's appointment quickly spread.

The new magistrate is a handsome young boy!

As soon as the new county magistrate arrived in Nanle County, he arrested Pan Yewei's thugs and sent him to prison!

The new county magistrate was not afraid of tyranny, so he beat Pan Yewei as soon as he arrived, and confronted the Pan family!

It was also secretly rumored that Pan Yewei fell in love with the new county magistrate. He didn't know his identity, but he was handsome and wanted to dominate and bully him, so he was slapped and repaired severely!

Pan Yewei filed a complaint when he got home, asking his father to take his people back, "It's already been beaten. Although the people in the county government didn't dare to hit hard, it's almost as good as [-]! Beat me first. Face, now we beat our Pan family members into exile again, it is clearly to slap our Pan family in the face! But a small county magistrate, Qianglong still doesn't overwhelm the local snake! Allow him to be rampant!"

When Pan Shiyao heard about it, he reprimanded him, "If you don't provoke me, you will be slapped in the face?! I'll fix your problem as soon as possible! Otherwise, if something big happens, our family will be destroyed. in your hands!"

Pan Yewei snorted angrily, "What are you afraid of! Nanle County is still the territory of the Pan family! Even if he is the county magistrate!? Sooner or later..."

Sooner or later, he didn't say anything, his eyes were angry and dark.

"Get someone to give you a gift, and let him let him go!" Pan Shiyao was also annoyed at Gu Chuhan's slap in the face.

"What kind of gift! No gift! Let him know how powerful the Pan family is!" Pan Yewei said angrily.

No matter how powerful the Pan family is, the other party is also an official, and an official with a background, appointed by the imperial court.Pan Shiyao thought about it, and asked the steward to present him as a gift, begging for his release.

Gu Chuhan didn't accept it, so he called the master and the scribe to check the money and food, warehouse, and case files of previous years first.

Although she is good at calculating accounts, she can't do everything by herself when there are too many things, and the work of tax collection and financial accounting is not easy.So I found a master Qianliang, but he hasn't arrived yet, and he is probably still on his way.

After sorting out for a few days, I finally figured out the general idea.

"How about it?"

The empty door opened behind him, and Su Jin stepped out, holding a food box and putting it on the desk.

Gu Chuhan looked up to see that it was him, but was still startled, "How long have you been here?"

"It's just been out of the pot for a while!" Su Jin opened the food box with a smile, and there was a steaming cup of Buddha Jumping Wall and a few refreshing side dishes.

wipe!It's so cool to be able to borrow the way of ghosts! ?Thousands of miles away, it takes a blink of an eye!Gu Chuhan stared at him for a long time, "I'm jealous!"

Su Jin looked at her angry little face with doting eyes, "If you want to learn, I'll teach you!"

Gu Chuhan glanced at him, "I can't finish learning all these things! I haven't practiced a single skill yet!"

Su Jin patted her head, "It's already this hour, wash your hands and come over to eat!"

Looking at the dishes on the table, and at him dressed in white clothes, Gu Chuhan suddenly felt like he couldn't get rid of him no matter where he went, "Let me ask you, if you are [-] miles apart, how long can you go?" arrived?"

Su Jin blinked, "I haven't tried it."

"Probably!" Gu Chuhan asked.

Su Jin's eyes were deep, she pursed her lips slightly, and pulled her back, "Jiu'er! I won't let you be thousands of miles away from me!"

Gu Chuhan was immediately discouraged, hummed weakly, and then turned his anger into appetite, and ate a big meal.

Seeing her feasting, Su Jin frowned and felt distressed.She wanted to help her straighten out the situation in Nanle County, but she refused.Let her come by herself, the situation in Nanle County is complicated!

"Does the God of the River have any ideas about marrying a wife?" He went to check, and there was nothing abnormal in the Zhang River, just a few wronged souls, who had been saved.

Gu Chuhan chewed a piece of red mushroom and nodded, "I've already made up my mind, isn't it time soon! I still need the court's help! Please pass me a booklet for Li Anzhi!"

"Okay! Don't worry, arrange things first! There is still some time to prepare!" Su Jin responded.

"So you still plan to come here from time to time?" Gu Chuhan raised his eyes.

Su Jin stared at her with dark eyes.

Gu Chuhan hurriedly changed his words, "Come on! Come on! I'm just asking, if you come here, can't I eat two more bowls of rice!" Seeing that his face softened, he said cautiously, "If you are found here, pass If you go out and say that I, Jinwu Zangjiao, is the next best thing, if people know about your abilities, I'm afraid it's not good!"

What a golden house hides the charm! ?Su Jinjun's face darkened, "No one will know!" Let her not worry.

Gu Chuhan knew that he was a master, so he stopped talking about him, "But it's true that there's nothing in the Zhang River?"

"Well! It's just a flood during the flood season, and those people took the opportunity to make money!" Su Jin nodded.

"That's easy!" Gu Chuhan sneered.

Watching her eat, Su Jin helped her check the file for a long time, and urged her to practice. When Gu Chuhan felt sleepy and took a rest, he picked up the food box and left.

Gu Chuhan lay down, then sat up again, "Hey! I forgot to tell that bastard, so I can take care of myself. Don't run over from time to time! It's a waste of energy!"

Qingquan laughed, but didn't explain much, "Master, you know that! Ninth Master, please rest quickly! There are still a lot of official duties to be busy tomorrow!"

If Gu Chuhan wanted to be a good and honest official, he naturally had to do practical things.

Before the matter at hand was finished, someone beat the drums and complained.

A young man came to the court and said that he had lost two picks of cloth.

This young and handsome county magistrate was promoted to the court for the first time, and many people gathered around to see how she handled the case.

The young man's name is Feng Zhaoyuan, he was originally a merchant in Yongshun Mansion, this time he went to Beichen Kingdom to sell silk, and then he bought a batch of machine cloth to take home for sale, and he didn't run out.But I don't want to lose two picks of cloth in the inn.If the theory with the shopkeeper failed, he went to the county government to sue.Sue the shopkeeper for colluding with thieves and stealing his property!

Feng Zhaoyuan went to the hall, and when he saw a young and handsome boy sitting in the hall, he was stunned and murmured in his heart.When I came here, I heard that the new county magistrate was a handsome young man, and some people came to watch the fun because of this, so he just thought he was younger and handsomer.But I don't want to be so handsome, young man!It's been ten years of studying, and it will take a few more years to go to high school. The young ones can only get an official job after reaching the crown. This new county magistrate looks like he hasn't grown up yet!Then can he get back the machine cloth he lost?
"Who is in the hall? Why are you suing?" Gu Chuhan interrogated in a deep voice.

Feng Zhaoyuan hurriedly returned to his senses, seeing that her face was cold and dignified, although she was young, she was afraid that she had been raised in a high position for a long time, so he hurriedly presented the pleadings and said, "I implore the county magistrate to recover the stolen goods for Xiaomin! Severely punish the shopkeeper and the thief!"

Gu Chuhan read the complaint, "Catch thieves and seize stolen goods, and catch rape and double. You haven't seen the shopkeeper steal, and you haven't found stolen goods in the inn. How can I ask this officer to arrest and punish severely!?"

Feng Zhaoyuan saw that although she was young, she was not impulsive. She was not at all as if she was an official for the first time, and her temperament was calm and unmoved. Keep the mistakes! You should compensate the little people!"

He also said that he sold silk from Yongshun Mansion to Beichen Country, and bought loom cloth from Beichen Country and sold it back. He worked hard all the way, and earned hard money, so he couldn't let the store cheat him!I beg the county master to be the master!

To be an official is to make decisions for the people!Gu Chuhan hadn't recruited the store owner to inquire, and the outside store advocated that Daqing also came to court to sue Feng Zhaoyuan for framing, "Master County! This person is purely a false accusation! He fabricated that Xiaomin stole his property out of thin air. Xiaomin has been in business for more than 20 years. It's loud! If the villain steals his two-pick machine cloth and ruins his reputation, the villain's shop will also be ruined! How could Xiaomin be so stupid, ruining his own decades-old foundation for the two-pick machine cloth!"

The two argued their own reasons and sued each other. Gu Chuhan was also aggrieved when he saw Zhang Daqing's face being framed, and Feng Zhaoyuan was also angrily and eagerly aggrieved. He grabbed the gavel and yelled, "No noise! The two of you will be imprisoned for the time being, and will be interrogated after the official finds out!"

As the magistrate, Wang Guangyi is also qualified to interrogate the case. At first, he was shocked by her disarming power. Now that she was helpless, he wanted to stand up, "My lord! There must be something wrong with this case!"

Gu Chuhan looked at him in surprise, "Are you Yuan Fang?"

Wang Guangyi was stunned.

Gu Chuhan looked at him, but didn't intend to listen to him. After he finished his work, he changed into his casual clothes and went out for a walk with Qingquan Heihu.

"Master Jiu wants to visit that inn?" Qingquan asked with a smile.

Gu Chuhan nodded.

Several people came to the inn of Zhang Daqing's family. The store is not small, it is clean and tidy, and the price is reasonable. It is no wonder that it has been open for more than 20 years.After asking Heihu to visit secretly again, Gu Chuhan stood in front of the stone stele where the horse was tied up next to the inn and looked at it.

After studying for a few years, Gu Chuhan has already recognized the traditional characters. Although it is a long time ago, he can still see that it records the great achievements of a Zhao county magistrate more than 30 years ago. The words are extremely exaggerated and exaggerated.

"Cut~" Gu Chuhan sneered disdainfully, if he was an honest and good official, he wouldn't have erected such a monument for himself.I haven't seen it, it has become a horse post!

Qingquan couldn't help but feel amused when he saw it, "When the Jiu Gongzi finishes ruling Nanle County, they will definitely set up a stone monument for the Jiu Gongzi with reverence!"

"Don't embarrass me!" Gu Chuhan was about to joke, but his eyes fell on the stele for a while, "Go! Go back to the hall!"

"Ascension? Master Ninth has an idea!?" Shi Zan asked in surprise.

Qingquan hurriedly followed.

Back at the county government office, he got the news of Heihu's unannounced visit. Gu Chuhan returned to the county government office, first interrogated Feng Zhaoyuan, and asked him if there was a mark on the machine cloth.

Feng Zhaoyuan thought he had found the evidence, and quickly said that there was a mark.

"Bring it in front of you, can you recognize it as your cloth?" Gu Chuhan asked him.

It was also the first time for Feng Zhaoyuan to go to Beichen Country to do business. He had traveled long distances for several months. This batch of machine cloth came back from Beichen Country, and he remembered clearly, "Which machine cloth is as long as one zhang or as many as one piece?" They are all marked! Xiaomin remembers! The county lord found the machine cloth that Xiaomin stole!?"

"Just wait! I've already found a witness!" After Gu Chuhan finished speaking, he ordered the yamen servants to pass witnesses.

Hu Guanbao and the others looked at each other in dismay, "My lord! Which witness is going to pass the humble post?"

"The stele outside the door of Zhang Daqing's inn! Pass it up to me!" Gu Chuhan ordered.

At this moment, more than a dozen yamen servants were stunned, and passed a stone tablet to the hall! ?Be a witness! ?This young county magistrate couldn't find out the facts of the case, so he just messed around! ?
Wang Guangyi also came out to stop him, "My lord! Even if the case is small, it's no joke! How can this be called a stone tablet to testify? Wouldn't it make people laugh at your lord's nonsense!?"

"I think you are talking about my mischief!?" Gu Chu asked coldly.

Wang Guangyi hurriedly said no, pursed his lips and stopped meddling, and let her go.See if you can make a flower out of it! ?If you can't find the stolen goods, then it will be a joke!At that time, we still have to rely on him!
Hu Guanbao and the others saw that Wang Guangyi was not pleased, so he had to bite the bullet and obey orders to go outside the door of Zhang Daqing's inn and dig up the stele.

Gu Chuhan asked them to spread the word that if she wanted to interrogate the stele, she would be able to find out where Feng Zhaoyuan lost the machine cloth!
Originally, her image was very different from that of the previous county magistrates, and she had an enmity with Pan Yewei when she first took office.

Gu Chuhan looked at the black crowd and looked at Heihu.

Heihu nodded hurriedly. When people rushed in just now, he stared at them. Several of them would definitely not run away!

Although the crowd didn't dare to discuss it loudly, they still buzzed about interrogating the stele in a low voice, something they had never heard or seen before.

When the Yacha put the stele on the hall, Gu Chuhan held up the official robe and went forward to cup his hands, "My lord! The inscription says that you can solve cases like a god, and you are standing outside Zhang Daqing's inn. You must have seen some thief steal it. Jibu, tell us to be a witness!"

Of course the stele can't speak. After a long while, Gu Chuhan's face darkened, "It seems that this old man is also a cowardly and incompetent person who has earned his name! He dare not be a witness, and dare not tell the truth! Come! Call me! Hit the [-]th board again! See if it still doesn't recruit!"

Hu Guanbao frowned, but he dared not disobey the order.Carrying the stele outside and yelling at the magistrate to interrogate the stele has already made them feel ridiculous and ashamed, so they don't care about it now, and they will hit twenty big boards when they go up.

But when I asked again, there was still no response. The stone tablet was still a stone tablet, and Gu Chuhan was even angrier, "Hit me another [-] times! Hit me hard!"

Hu Guanbao's hands were numb from the shock of the stone tablet, and she shouted angrily at the side to emphasize the point, so she had to grit her teeth and use her strength.

After three rounds like this, the hands of Hu Guanbao and the others were in excruciating pain. They almost suspected that she took the opportunity to ask her before taking revenge on them, and sided with Pan Yewei.

Everyone who watched the excitement couldn't help talking, and they couldn't find out if they asked about the stone tablet!

It is said that Feng Zhaoyuan framed Zhang Daqing. He has always been honest and sincere in his business, and his old neighbors have known him for many years.

Some people also said that Feng Zhaoyuan's machine cloth was lost in the inn, and Zhang Daqing should pay for it!Otherwise, if anyone stays in a hotel with a large amount of money in the future, and loses the money and belongings, wouldn't it be unreasonable to say! ?
Gu Chuhan glanced at the crowd, sat down in the hall, and slammed the gavel twice, "Silence! This judge is trying the case, but you are talking loudly in the courtroom, the guilt is unforgivable!"

Everyone's face suddenly changed, and they couldn't help guessing secretly, she was making a joke when interrogating the stele, and she became angry from embarrassment?
Gu Chuhan's voice changed, "I think you are ignorant, let you out! But if you roar in the court, you will be punished according to the law, and the rest will ignore the crime, and let me take down the first offender!"

Heihu immediately pointed out four people, and the yamen servant went up to take them down.

The four shouted for injustice.

Gu Chuhan was angry with the three of them, "For the first time you commit crimes, you can be punished with a rod, but your crime is unforgivable. If you rectify the law, you have to be punished! Some of you who sell rice will be punished with three dans of rice, and those who sell oil will be fined with three jugs of oil, and those who sell cloth will be punished. Three bolts of cloth will be fined!"

The new official took office three times, and the four of them only thought that she was the one who got angry. Even though they couldn't accept the complaints in their hearts, they had no choice but to admit it, and went home to take the things and hand them in.

The people that Heihu was staring at were all cloth shop owners, and as expected, all four of them took three bolts of cloth and handed them in.

Gu Chuhan recruited Feng Zhaoyuan for him to identify.

One of the twelve pieces of cloth was Feng Zhaoyuan's machine cloth, "My lord! This cloth belongs to the villain! The first time the villain sold machine cloth, it was shipped from Beichen Kingdom, so he was extra careful, not only made every piece The mark, for fear of shortening the size, there is a mark for every zhang! Look, my lord!"

Gu Chuhan saw that the marks on the cloth had been erased and altered, but there were marks on every zhang inside. After checking, it was found that it was brought by the shopkeeper Chen from the Cloth Village in the south of the city, and he sent him to the court to ask the reason.

Shopkeeper Chen suddenly understood, "My lord is really wise! This machine cloth was sold to the villain by the peddler Zhao Kuizhong!"

Gu Chuhan immediately sent someone to investigate and deal with Zhao Kuizhong.

Zhao Kuizhong stole two picks of machine cloth from Feng Zhaoyuan, sold one at shopkeeper Chen's cloth shop, and planned to sell the other in another place, but he didn't want to take the cloth into the county government.

He already had ghosts in his heart, and he was called wronged when he went to court, "My lord! The little one is wronged! The little one is a down-to-earth man. He didn't kill or set fire, but what does it mean to arrest the villain!? The villain is wronged! !"

"I haven't tried it yet, but you have confessed yourself!" Gu Chuhan put the evidence in front of him.

He lived in Zhang Daqing's inn, and there was a record of him staying in the inn, so he couldn't get away, and the machine cloth he picked was recognized by Feng Zhaoyuan, and he couldn't tell the origin of the machine cloth, and couldn't recognize the mark, so he just called him wronged. .

"The evidence is convincing, if you don't use the facts, give me a big punishment!" Gu Chuhan shouted angrily.

Seeing her sharp and cold eyes, Zhao Kuizhong shuddered all over, and there was a sudden chill down his back. He confessed with a pale face, that he saw Feng Zhaoyuan bringing so many machine cloths by himself, and they were from Beichen National Vendor. That's okay, I just stole two picks.

All the stolen goods were obtained, and Gu Chuhan pronounced the sentence in court, "Zhao Kuizhong stole the machine cloth and obtained the stolen goods. The owner is Feng Zhaoyuan!"

Zhao Kuizhong sold a bag of cloth, but the money has not been moved, so he returned it to Feng Zhaoyuan intact, together with another bag of cloth.

Feng Zhaoyuan recovered the lost property, and shouted joyfully, "Master Qingtian is wise!"

Gu Chuhan asked several shopkeepers of the previous cloth shop to understand the three pieces of cloth that had been handed in before.

Several shopkeepers looked at her with admiration, "Your Excellency is really clever! You can come up with such a brilliant idea to catch the thief and recover the lost property in one fell swoop! You are brilliant!"

"My lord is so young, if he has done something like this, he will definitely accomplish a lot in the future. The future is limitless!"

After hearing a lot of compliments, Gu Chuhan dismissed everyone.

Wang Guangyi, his master Wu Guangming, and the yamen servants saw that Gu Chuhan had not only changed his mind.This county magistrate is young, so this method is not ambiguous at all!He also said that he knew very little about the law. He said that he had been sentenced to two years and three years for stealing 60. How could he know so little? ?
There has been a lot of discussion outside, saying that this new county magistrate has the ability to interrogate a stone tablet and actually catch the thief who stole the cloth.

"It's just a small trick, opportunistic!" Pan Yewei snorted angrily, his face had just subsided, and he heard the news as soon as he went out, and he gritted his teeth with inexplicable hatred.

"If he really wants to see silver, it will be thousands of times, or even more, than his little salary. With real money in front of him, he must be like meeting a meaty dog. He will do whatever he is told to do!" Pan Zhiyi came up with an idea.

Pan Yewei thought that this year the God of the River will soon marry a wife, his eyes flickered darkly, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up.
