Chapter 109

When the Yamen soldiers came to the village, they startled many people.

People followed to watch the excitement. When they heard that Xia Xi had killed people, they were shocked.

Qi'er is ordering the charcoal basin. She watches the Yamen servant handcuff Xia Xi, and her little body bumps into the Yamen servant.

The police officer who tortured people was hit and looked up. He got up and kicked Qi'er. Xia Xi pulls Qi'er to one side, and his foot just kicks Xia Xi. Xia Xi steps back and bumps into the doorframe, snorting in pain.

The Yamen servant thought that it was not enough. He scolded and thought of kicking again. "Little son of a bitch, it's against you. He bumped me."

A yamen servant nearby stopped him. "Forget it, Master Zhang has a good relationship with them. Don't turn back and annoy him."

The tortured yamen servant took back his feet, picked up the chain that had fallen on the ground, tugged hard, and made Xia Xi stagger. Then he felt satisfied and turned around.

Xia Xi has no choice but to follow. Qi'er grabs his clothes and follows.

"Pillar, Lan'er, keep an eye on Qi'er."

Two people hasten to come forward, Qi son pulls not to let go.

"Qi'er is obedient. I promise you that I will be back soon."

"Mother."

Kiel cried.

"Be obedient. Go to Mr. Zhang."

Qi'er released her hand and watched Xia Xi be taken away, crying to urge Zhu, "Zhu Shu, hurry up, let's go to the county."

The pillar pushes Qi'er to Lan'er, turns around and runs home, shaking hands to put the carriage on. Let Lan'er and Qi'er get on the carriage, high raised the whip and lashed down, the horse ate pain, spread his hoof and ran.

They all took the main road. The carriage soon caught up with the Yamen servant. Seeing that Xia Xi was being pulled by the chain, she was walking very hard. The pillar was sour in her heart. She gritted her teeth and gave the horse a hard beating. The carriage ran directly from several people.

"Damn it."

The tortured yamen servant scolded, "a country bumpkin has a carriage, which is more powerful than those of us who eat official food."

Several yamen servants nearby did not speak. Zhang Hun is a relative of the county magistrate. He swaggers in the county government all day long. When he comes here, they suggest that she should not be tortured. But he doesn't listen. If he has to, it's useless for them to persuade him.

"Let's go!"

Zhang Hun takes fire on Xia Xi and drags the chain fiercely. Xia Xi falters.

……

Zhu drove the carriage into the county and went straight to master Zhang's house. As soon as he entered the door, he yelled, "Master Zhang, it's bad. My sister-in-law has been arrested."

Bang!

His words fell, the door was opened, and master Zhang strode out of the room, "what's the matter?"

"The Yamen servant said that his sister-in-law killed someone and took him. Now she is on her way to the county."

"How did you get here?"

Mr. Zhang asked as he went out.

"Drive the carriage."

"You come with me, Lan'er. You and Qi'er stay. If I don't come back, you don't go anywhere."

"I see."

Lan'er should.

Qi'er broke away from her and ran quickly to catch up with Mr. Zhang. "I'll follow you too!"

Master Zhang stopped and looked at him with a serious look. "If you go, you will only cause trouble."

Kiel pursed her lips.

Master Zhang strode out and said, "bolt the gate from the inside."

……

Zhuzhu drove the carriage back the same way. After almost half of the journey, he saw several yamen officers in the distance.

Xia Xi staggers behind.

Mr. Zhang sat anxiously on the other side of the shaft. Looking at this situation, he jumped up and went up and down in front of several yamen servants.

A few yamen servants were surprised and drew out their swords one after another“

"It's me."

While talking, Mr. Zhang has stopped.

Several other yamen servants breathed a sigh of relief and put away the sword. Only Zhang Hun, still holding it, looked at Mr. Zhang warily and asked, "how dare you rob people?"

The others pretended to look at the distance, as if they didn't hear him.

Mr. Zhang has a good hand, many friends and a lot of people. Even the county magistrate gives him a third of his face. But Zhang Hun has a shallow eye and dares to treat him like this.

Master Zhang didn't pay attention to him. His eyes fell on Xia Xi. His hair was messy and he was panting. His hands were handcuffed and his wrists were red and swollen.

Take back the vision, Zhang Ye embraces a fist, to Zhang Hun, "brother, sell me a thin face, loosen the person, I first take to the county yamen gate to wait for you."

Zhang Hun has long been dissatisfied with Zhang Ye. An unsociable gangster on the street, why did he get the eye of the county magistrate? Now his face droops, "no, she's a felon. She can't give it to you."

Master Zhang took a deep breath and pressed the fire in his heart. "She's just a weak woman. How can she..."

Zhang Hun waved his hand and said, "give me less of this. If I say no, I will not."

"Really not?"

Master Zhang's tone was already faintly angry, but Zhang Hun didn't hear it yet. He glared at him with a cocker's eye. "I said no, but I didn't..."

The words didn't finish, the person already flew out, Dong of a fall on the ground.

Several other yamen servants moved their feet and felt Lord Zhang's anger, so they didn't step out.

Mr. Zhang opened the chain of Xia Xi and said, "I've taken the people away. When I get to the county government, I'll give them to you."

Several other yamen servants didn't see it until Master Zhang took Xia Xi to the carriage. Then they ran to Zhang Hun and helped him up.

Zhang Hun fell so hard that his eyes changed. Several people held back their laughter and shook him.

"Stop, stop him."

Zhang Hun pointed to the carriage and yelled,

No one answered him.

……

Xia Xi got into the carriage, and master Zhang went to the front and said, "hurry up."

The pillar drove the carriage slowly.

After walking for a while, he felt that Xia Xi's breath was stable. Zhang yewei leaned over and asked, "what's the matter?"

"Yu Yi's poison plan."

Only a word, Zhang Ye then understood, voice put soft some, "don't be afraid, have me."

Xia Xi didn't respond. She closed her eyes and leaned against the car wall.

Yu Yi's plan failed yesterday, but now he does it again. It seems that he will never give up if he doesn't kill her.

……

Carriage all the way to the county yamen gate, Xia Xi down, Zhang Ye let the column to drive the carriage back, "to my backyard, today you don't go back."

The pillar answers a voice, turn horse head to return to Zhang Ye's house.

Master Zhang leads Xia Xi into the county government. The county master sits in the court. He hears the news and looks up. He is surprised to see them.

"Zhang Ze, this is..."

Mr. Zhang went into the hall, arched his hand, "my Lord, I don't know what crime lady Xia has committed?"

"She was accused of killing people."

"Who sued her?"

County Lord waved, a woman came forward, Putong kneeling on the ground, "master Qingtian, you must be the master for the people's wife!"

Master Zhang squinted, "this is..."

"Minfu is from caojia village, five miles east of the county. My husband is a horse racing driver. Yesterday, Xia Niang hired my carriage. Who knows, who knows, my husband was killed. Someone saw that Xia Xi did it."

"Who saw it?"

A person was carried up, wearing coarse cloth clothes, clothes covered with patches, when he saw Xia Xi, his body trembled violently, his eyes also dropped down, falling in people's eyes is afraid, but no one knows that his eyes are full of hate.

Xia Xi recognized that he was the man who stopped the carriage yesterday, and his mouth was hooked.

The visitor was put on the ground and coughed a few times. Then he said in a dumb voice, "my daughter was seriously ill yesterday. I came to the county in a hurry to ask for a doctor. Unexpectedly, I saw this woman kill people on the way. I ran to stop her and was beaten by her. If I didn't pretend to be dead, I'm afraid I would have died long ago. I asked master Qingtian to be my master, The cruel woman was severely punished. "

"Zhang Ze, can you hear me clearly?"

County Lord put on official prestige, obviously believe their words, let Zhang Ye don't say more.

Mr. Zhang stepped forward and stared at the witness. His eyes were deep and cold. "You really see clearly. Is that what lady Xia did?"

The witness nodded, "I see clearly, that's her, that's right."

"Well, I'll ask you, how did she beat a strong man like you, a weak woman, without fighting back?"

"She has a murder weapon in her hand."

"What weapon?"

The witness blurted out, "dagger!"

Mr. Zhang said with a smile, "how do you know it's a dagger?"

"I, I, I..."

As a witness, he couldn't answer. For fear that he would show his horse's feet, he cried out in a loud voice, "please master Qingtian be the master of the people!"

The woman who complained also called out, "ask Master Qingtian to be the master of the people!"

Pop!

The county master was afraid of being shocked. "OK, Zhang Ze, step back!"

"My Lord!"

What else does Zhang Ye want to say? The county magistrate yelled angrily, "step back!"

Mr. Zhang stood still.

Zhang Hun ran in from outside the county government office. He saw Mr. Zhang in front of the cockfighting. He said, "master, catch him quickly. He robbed the criminals and hurt me on the way."

"Is it serious?"

"It's true. The others can testify."

"Come on, take Zhang Ze down and put him in jail!"

There was no reaction from the Yamen servants, and no one came forward.

The county master was so angry that he was scared, "come on, take it!"

Then the Yamen servant came forward and took Master Zhang.

"Go on!"

Mr. Zhang was taken down.

The county magistrate breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid of Mr. Zhang's resistance. All these yamen servants in the hall were not his opponents.

Another heavy clap startles the hall wood, "Xia Shi, can you plead guilty?"

"What if you don't?"

"If you recognize it, sign it and draw it. If you don't recognize it, you will suffer from flesh and blood."

Xia Xi didn't have the slightest fear on her face. "My Lord, I want to ask why I want to kill the rickshaw puller for his money? Or have a grudge against him? "

The county magistrate was asked.

"Since I'm not greedy for money and I have no grudge against him, I want to ask my lord why I want to kill him?"

"This..."

Xia Xi took a step forward, came to the witness, and asked aggressively, "now that you have seen clearly, let me ask you, when I kill, do I use my left hand or right hand? Did the coachman resist? How did you dissuade it? "

"I..."

The witness was sweating.

Xia Xi suddenly turned around, facing the county master, "adult, since he can't say it, then he is doing perjury, such a person should first play ten big board!"

"I can say it!"

The witness yelled, fearing that people would not believe him. He said eagerly, "you used your right hand when you killed people. The coachman resisted, but you were too cruel. The dagger stabbed him. I came forward to dissuade you from forgiving others. You were so anxious that even I wanted to kill you."

"Well, in that case, how many daggers did I stab him? Where are they all

"This

The witness couldn't answer again, sweating on his forehead.

Xia Xi wants to ask again. The witness suddenly turns his eyes and faints.

County Master

A group of Yamen servants

Dare to do more obvious.

Pop!

In a startling scene, the county magistrate ordered, "first take the witness to the hospital for treatment. The prisoner will be detained for the time being, and will be tried again tomorrow."

Xia Xi was taken down, and the witness was carried down. The hall was quiet. The county magistrate collapsed on his chair, took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead. As a county magistrate, although he had no great achievements in Pingyang County in recent years, he had no fault, let alone Cao Kan's life. Now he thought of the letter sent by yuerou in the morning, The county master is sweating more.

……

Prison, dark and damp.

Xia Xi was taken into a cell alone, which was dimly lit, and the ground was covered with a few sparse straws.

The gaoler opened the door of the prison, with a good attitude. "Go in."

Xia Xi went in, and the gaoler locked the door. "It's no better here than outside. Be honest and suffer less."

Finish saying, weigh key to turn round to walk.

He came to another cell and bowed to master Zhang inside. "Master Zhang, as you ordered, gave her a separate cell. Don't worry."

Master Zhang nodded, "thank you very much."

"No thanks, no thanks."

The jailer waved his hand. "If you have any orders, just say it. I'll do my best."

Master Zhang nodded again, and the Yamen bowed down.

Mr. Zhang sat against the wall, looking at the direction of the cell.

……

Luochen mountain villa.

It's getting dark.

Early after dinner, Fengche ordered people to put on the chessboard and play chess with themselves. But tonight, it was obvious that some of his heart was not wilting.

Every two steps I took, I looked up at the sky outside. Until it was getting late, I didn't hear anything.

Feng Che's face turned black and threw the pieces on the chessboard at random, "Feng an!"

There's no one outside.

Then he remembered that Feng an was still kneeling outside his study, shouting, "come on!"

A servant pushed the door in with a light movement, "young master!"

"Go ahead, feng'an calls."

The servant retreated. After a while, Feng an came in, "young master."

The wind Che has no head and no brain of a, "you go to pick up Xia Xi to come over!"

Feng an was stunned for a moment.

"Why, don't you understand?"

"I'll go now."

Feng an turns and goes out.

Wind Che looked at the sky outside his eyes, eyes narrowed up, a ripple in his heart.

……

Inside the prison, the jailer came with rice, and the prisoners came to grab the rice.

The jailer yelled impatiently and handed them out one by one.

Then he came to Mr. Zhang's side, put a separate bowl in the basket in front of him, and scooped him a spoon of porridge, "yours."

The light was dark, but master Zhang saw his face clearly. He didn't know him. His brow moved. "Are you
