Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

Zhou Yi didn't want to make things big, so after roughly inquiring about the case, he withdrew from the courtroom on the grounds of detailed investigation, and threw those moaning people in the courtroom into prison.

Of course, he would not let these people who tried to sabotage the provincial examination go unnoticed, but he didn't want to use it as a crime, because whether it was true or not, as the prefect, he couldn't please him.

So Zhou Yi wanted to procrastinate for a while, and wait for everyone to forget about it before dealing with it secretly.

Zhou Yi sent Li Baolu away and turned back to the office. The master hurriedly followed, and said in a low voice: "My lord, do you want to invite that little Mrs. Gu into the hall to talk? It's not appropriate to publicize this matter, why don't you greet her in advance?"

Zhou Yi once asked his chief follower to investigate Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu. He naturally knew that Li Baolu was skilled in martial arts. He looked down on Jianghu people in his heart, but he was afraid that she would force him without any reason, so he nodded and said, "You just go to see her in private. The country's plans, let her put the overall situation first, if the Guangzhou rural examination is flawed, it will be her husband who will bear the brunt."

This is a threat.

Master nodded in agreement, and stepped back to look for Li Baolu.

Li Baolu did not stay in the government office, but took Shun Xin home.

Shun Xin was indignant, "Ma'am, the magistrate is clearly trying to evade, but the prisoner was caught by us, yet he didn't even interrogate him."

"It doesn't matter, as long as we know who did it," Li Baolu comforted him, "Our report to the government is over, and the next step is the matter of the government."

"Then what if the magistrate protects them?"

"Ou Dunyi's grades are not very good. I don't believe that he can get good grades just by killing brother Jingyun. How many candidates in Guangzhou are unable to take the exam due to accidents? No matter whether they were really killed or accidents, when there is a reason , People will justify themselves. They have been studying hard for decades, waiting for this day, but because of an accident, they have to wait another three years. It is difficult to accept both psychologically and physically, but now there is a vent Let them vent this despair and anger in their hearts."

So Li Baolu didn't care if Zhou Yi wanted to delay the time, because someone would force him to investigate.

What she cared about was the person who advised Ou Dunyi behind the scenes. It would be great if they could be dealt with in a fair and just way through the law. If they couldn't, they wouldn't be afraid. Anyway, they had enough enemies, so they didn't mind having one or two more.

Now Gu Jingyun is the safest in the examination room, Li Baolu can let go of his hands and feet to do some things.

"Shunxin, you just stay at home these few days and don't go anywhere. No matter who knocks on the door, don't open it. Even if it's someone from the yamen, you should pretend that no one is at home. If someone breaks in, you will make things worse. The bigger the better." Ou Dunyi's uncle is a judge in Guangzhou.

Li Baolu was going to keep an eye on Ou Dunyi's book boys and servants, but she didn't have time to protect Shun Xin.

His family may not know what Ou Dunyi did, but it is impossible for the book boy and servant who are inseparable from him and are his confidantes not to know.

If you want to find out who gave Ou Dunyi the idea, you can only start with them.

Li Baolu ran to stare at Ou Dunyi's book boy and servant, but happened to miss Zhou Yi's master. The master didn't find Li Baolu at the gate of the government office. Thinking that he still had unfinished business, he shook his head and planned to go to Li Baolu later. .

As a result, as soon as he turned around and returned to the government office, he was pulled by the head of the arrest and said in a low voice: "Master, something serious happened." He looked around and said in a low voice: "I just saw the prisoners who were put into the cell. How many of them are Ou Tong? The judge's servant."

The master's expression changed, "Do you understand?"

"Recognized, he is the servant of Ou Tong's judge."

"Quick, hurry up and inform your lord, and settle the case with personal grievances as soon as possible." The master hurried to the backyard with the head catcher.

Zhou Yi and Ou Tongsan are both officials in Guangzhou, and both of them can turn a blind eye to Tan Qian from Qiongzhou, which shows that he is a human being.

The interests of the two are intertwined. Although there are conflicts from time to time, the interests of the two are the same on a large scale.

Regardless of whether Ou Tong knows about today's affairs, he must be picked out, and he will have to pay some price in private.

Otherwise, if Ou Tong was involved, Zhou Yi would not be in a good position.

As soon as Zhou Yi heard that Ou Tongju was involved in this matter, he immediately thought of Ou Dunyi who was taking the imperial examination, and he believed it five points in his heart.

I'm afraid that Lao Ou did this for his nephew.

His face was a bit ugly, and he said annoyed: "Ou Tongpan is too confused about the seriousness, the imperial examination is a grand event for scholars, and he even indulged his family to disturb Qiu Wei."

Zhou Yi was so angry that his chest heaved, but he didn't dare to ignore it. After a while, he said: "Go and find out the identities of those people, and find a reason to close the case after recording."

"My lord, it's better to close the case with personal grievances," the master said: "It is said that Gu Jingyun is proud and arrogant. Such a person is easy to offend others. Some people can't see him and want to hit him on purpose. It has nothing to do with Qiu Wei. After all, he is just An exam is an individual case."

Zhou Yi thought for a while, and felt that this reason was good, nodded and said: "Then the sentence is like this, let them pay Gu Jingyun's wife some transportation expenses, and no one was hurt anyway."

Zhou Yi originally wanted to continue the investigation, but now he has no desire to continue the investigation. I am afraid that the more he investigates, the more he will be unable to break free.

"Invite Ou Tongpan here, I will have a proper discussion with him about this matter." Zhou Yi said with deep eyes.

The master agreed, and led the headhunter to get the confessions of those servants first, and then went to invite Ou Tong to judge.

Ou Tongpan really didn't know what his nephew had done, so he was still a little dazed after being slapped in the face by Zhou Yi.

At this time, Li Baolu was lying on the roof watching the schoolboys and servants running around anxiously.

As soon as they came back after sending the young master into the examination room this morning, they knew that the person they sent to stop Gu Jingyun from entering the examination room had been arrested.

It's nothing, the terrible thing is that there is no one they wanted to stop in the car, and their people were also turned away to the government office.

They didn't expect that Gu Jingyun's vitality was so tenacious, and he avoided so many "accidents", so this last move was a temporary thought, and it was a temporary arrangement.

In a hurry, except for the coachman who was hired by others, everyone else was servants and householders of the Ou family, and they were all found out upon investigation.

It would be fine if only the coachman was caught, but the key point is that none of the people sent to support them escaped, and all of them were caught.

As soon as their identities were revealed, any fool would know that it was the Ou family who did it.

The two of them are completely at a loss now.

They usually just run errands for the young master, listen to his complaints, and wait on his pen and ink. They don't know how to deal with such things.

And the young master is now in the examination room, and he won't be able to come out until nine days later...

But nine days is enough for them to turn into corpses and be eaten up by dogs in mass graves.

The two of them didn't dare to tell Ou Tongpan, knowing that once he found out about this matter, they would definitely die, so they got together and muttered together, "This matter must not be stabbed to the master."

"Everyone has been arrested, and their identities cannot withstand scrutiny at all, and they will be found out once they are checked."

"So we have to find a way to suppress this matter," Shutong said in a low voice, "The prefect of Zhou is very busy, and it is impossible to intervene in everything. This is a small matter of two cars colliding. As long as someone takes over this case, we can solve it in private. It works."

"But the young master is not here, who will listen to us?"

The book boy said meaningfully: "Master Yuan is the master's staff, he can speak on behalf of the master in the yamen, as long as he comes forward, he will naturally be able to suppress this matter, and maybe even get our people out without knowing it. come out."

The servant hesitated, "What if Master Yuan is unwilling to help?"

"He will be willing, don't forget, this is his son's idea for the young master," the book boy said with a sneer, "He thought he was doing it well? The young master is a fool, how could he be provoked without knowing it?" , just to see if he is still useful, I didn’t point it out.”

"You think, his whole family has to rely on the master. If the master knows that his son is privately instigating the young master to do these things, he can still do well? So he will definitely help with this matter." The book boy held the boy and said: "It is appropriate Sooner rather than later, let's go, let's go find Master Yuan."

After thinking for a moment, Li Baolu left the roof, found the side door in the backyard of Ou's house and knocked.

When the gatekeeper opened the door, she found that she didn't recognize Li Baolu, so she frowned and said, "Who are you looking for?"

Li Baolu hurriedly grabbed a dozen or so copper coins and stuffed them into her hands, and said shyly, "Hi, ma'am, I, I want to find my cousin, but I don't know if she is in this house."

The mother-in-law took the money with a pale face, stuffed it in her arms and asked warmly: "What's your cousin's name, tell me, there are so many women and girls in the backyard that I don't know."

Every year, people come to the side door to look for relatives, and the mother-in-law is no stranger to it.

"My cousin is not a girl," Li Baolu said anxiously: "She is a wife. My cousin's surname is Yuan. It is said that he worked as an assistant for a lord official. He might have done it. I also have a cousin who is very smart... "

What Li Baolu said was vague, but the mother-in-law slapped her thigh and shouted: "Oh, you are talking about Mr. Yuan. Mr. Yuan has been with my lord for more than ten years. He has followed my lord since he was the county magistrate. Mr. Yuan You are indeed smart. It is said that your homework is better than Master Tang. You are a relative of the Yuan family? How did you find it here? It is time to go to the Yuan family. Their family is also in our house, but our family relies heavily on Master Yuan. Someone opened the corner door for him, so they don’t have to go through the gate, but they can come in and out freely through the corner door. It’s equivalent to a single-door courtyard, so it’s not easy.”

Li Baolu was excited, and lowered her head anxiously, "It's just that my family and my cousin's family don't communicate very often, and only write back once every three years. If it wasn't for the last time my cousin asked someone to return home with a little New Year's gift, and said something again. We don't even know about her recent situation in Guangzhou."

She said dejectedly: "We didn't come to our door when we were rich, but now we come to her when we are down, I'm afraid..."

"Don't be afraid, girl," the old woman comforted her, "Mrs. Yuan has a very good temper, she is gentle and kind-hearted. When she sees her natal relatives, she is too happy. How can she be blamed? Master Yuan and Mr. Yuan are also very good." , especially Mr. Yuan, oops, I have never seen anyone with a better temper than Mr. Yuan." After that, he lowered his voice and said, "Our young master passed the Juren examination last year, and his head seems to be only Seeing the Heavenly King Lao Tzu, I usually point my chin at my relatives, who else can I see? But Mr. Yuan is different. Mr. Yuan is better at reading than Master Tang, but even if he is facing us low The mother-in-law is also polite, we often say that this is the demeanor of a scholar."
