Chapter 274 The Yamen Runners Invite

Father Liu also looked at his son with expectation, then at Jian Yue and Ji Yunzhong.

Jian Yue smiled and nodded.

Mother Liu bent her knees and was about to kneel down. Jian Yue hurriedly held her up and said, "Aunt Liu, there's no need to do this. Let's find a car to take her home first!"

"I'll go find it." Father Liu said as he hurried out of the clinic. A cart arrived soon after.

The clinic clerk helped Liu's father lift Liu Shitou onto the cart. Liu's mother took the medicine packed by the clerk, but she was embarrassed because she had no money.

Fu Yun said: "My daughter has already paid."

Mother Liu thanked Jian Yue profusely again.

On the way back to Liu's house, the group met Fu Lang, who was walking towards them. Behind Fu Lang was a slim and pretty woman, who was Liu Shitou's sister Liu Xiaojuan.

"Xiaojuan!" Liu's mother came forward in surprise, hugged her daughter and cried.

"Mom!" Liu Xiaojuan's pale face was relieved after seeing her relatives. She thought she would never get out of that wolf's den, but she didn't expect the hero to come down from the sky and rescue her. She always had a feeling of uneasiness, as if she was dreaming.

Fu Lang and Ji Yunzhong reported in a low voice: "There are four brothers in the Xue family who are very arrogant. I broke their legs."

Ji Yunzhong nodded with satisfaction and gave him an appreciative look: "Well done! Let them deeply experience the feeling of being crushed."

"Your Highness, when I came out, the Xue family's child had already gone to the county government office to report the news."

Ji Yunzhong waved his hand disapprovingly: "It doesn't matter, let's see how Zhao Tongfang handles this matter. Have you got the evidence?"

Fu Lang took out several confessions, which were confessions from the Xue family. He wrote them down personally, and all the Xue family members put their fingerprints on them.

Ji Yunzhong walked and read, sneering. After reading it, he handed it to Jian Yue. After reading it, Jian Yue was furious.

A small butcher relied on his cousin being the county magistrate's concubine to be so arrogant. Not only did he rob several decent women as concubines, he also set fire to a family that refused to obey.

How abominable!

The Liu family of four lived in the house behind the shop. Not long after Liu Shitou was settled in, a team of yamen runners came to the door.

The leader was Liang Jin, the chief constable of Tong County. He waved the arrest warrant in front of Liu's father and said, "The Liu family maliciously injured and disabled people, and also sheltered a fugitive slave. The magistrate ordered us to arrest the criminals."

The Liu family members turned pale immediately. They couldn't afford to be accused of such a big crime.

Father Liu's legs went weak and he wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy. Mother Liu also felt dizzy, as if the sky was falling.

Liu Xiaojuan was so frightened that she shook, gritted her teeth secretly, and wanted to take the blame for the wounding on her own. But she was not as fast as Fu Lang, who stepped out from the crowd and said coldly: "I was the one who wounded those scums of the Xue family. I didn't kill them, which was a bargain for them."

The yamen runners immediately pointed their swords at Fulang.

Liang Jin looked at Fu Lang, and then at Ji Yunzhong and Jian Yue who were standing by without any panic. They were strangers, and although they were dressed in ordinary clothes, the aura they exuded surprised Liang Jin.

These two people are not ordinary people.

This was Liang Jin’s first thought.

Fu Lang, who claimed to have hurt someone, looked skinny and sickly, but even Liang Jin could not resist his sharp eyes.

Since Liang Jin was able to become the chief of police, he was naturally good at judging people. He did not embarrass Fu Lang, but politely said: "Then please come with us!" As for how the county magistrate would judge, it had nothing to do with him.

Ji Yunzhong said to Jian Yue: "Let's go over and take a look at the excitement and see how Zhao Tongfang handles this case."

He actually called the magistrate by his name?

Liang Jin was startled, but looked at Ji Yunzhong again without saying a word.

Jian Yue said to the Liu family: "You are the victims, follow two people to testify."

So Liu Xiaojuan and her father went to the yamen together.

Liang Jin was afraid and did not chain Fu Lang, but asked the yamen runners to surround him to prevent him from escaping. In fact, Liang Jin knew that Fu Lang would not escape because he had already seen that the man and woman following him were more like their masters.

The appearance of the yamen runners attracted many people on the street. Usually, the yamen runners were not human beings, and the people hated them very much and tried to avoid them. Today, they caught a few unfamiliar faces who looked like foreigners, so they gathered in groups of three or five and whispered to each other.

"I wonder what mistakes these outsiders made? It will be hard to get out once they enter the government office!"

"Eh? Isn't that a member of the Liu family? His daughter was kidnapped by the Xue family today. Could she have been rescued by the yamen runners?"

"Are you dreaming? When have these lackeys ever done anything humane? If they don't frame you, rob you, or beat you, just chant Amitabha!"

Liang Jin listened to the discussion behind him, his face dark as the bottom of a pot. In the eyes of the common people, these people were just a pile of stinking dog shit, and everyone wanted to beat them up.

Ugh--

What can he do.

The magistrate is a despicable person, but it is these hungry and cold yamen runners who are the first to be cursed.

When everyone entered the government office, County Magistrate Zhao couldn't wait to go to court. Because several cousins ​​of the eldest aunt's family had their legs broken, the eldest aunt fainted from crying. The fifth concubine was very angry and cried to County Magistrate Zhao, crying bitterly. County Magistrate Zhao couldn't stand the crying of his favorite concubine, so he went to court to seek justice for her.

Seeing Captain Liang escorting someone in, Magistrate Zhao slammed the gavel: "Injuring someone and causing disability is a heinous crime. First, take the prisoner down and give him thirty lashes."

Thirty strokes of the cane can basically take away half of a person's life. First, get some interest back from the concubine to let her calm down.

Magistrate Zhao smiled smugly, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the people following behind him. He angrily scolded Liang Jin: "What's going on? This is a court, how can you let people in casually?"

Magistrate Zhao never allowed the public to watch his trials, so even those who wanted to watch would stay far away from the gate and not dare to get close.

"Sir..." Liang Jin was about to speak when he heard a sneer behind him: "So this is how Magistrate Zhao tried a case. He didn't even ask about the case and just beat the man half to death. I've learned something new!" Ji Yunzhong said as he and Jian Yue walked towards the court.

County Magistrate Zhao's face turned red, and he was furious: "How dare you! You, you... Fifth, Fifth Prince!"

County Magistrate Zhao was nearly frightened to death. He crawled down from behind the table and knelt in front of Ji Yunzhong.

Good luck!

Who can tell him why he didn't receive any news when the Fifth Prince came to Tong County?

dying! dying!

"Your humble servant did not know how important it was for Your Highness the Fifth Prince to come and visit us. Your humble servant is guilty." County Magistrate Zhao broke out in a cold sweat.

Everyone in the capital city knows that the Fifth Prince is moody and does things unconventionally. If he kills someone, I guarantee that you will not be able to overturn the case.

Ji Yunzhong sneered and looked at County Magistrate Zhao as if he were looking at a stink bug...
