Chapter 270 What does Brother Chuan want to do?
After hearing Zhao Xier's identity, County Magistrate He originally wanted to ask Mr. Zhang to take a step back and let the situation be more open. However, after he said this, it became difficult for him to cover up the truth.
He couldn't afford to offend Lord Zhao, but he couldn't afford to offend the person in the deep palace even more!
County Magistrate He was only a seventh-rank official, so what could he do? He could only bite the bullet and say that he would deal with the case severely to show that he was an honest official and upright.
Therefore, Mr. Zhang praised Magistrate He highly, praised him with flowery words, and immediately asked someone to hand over Gu Wenlang's handwriting, respectfully requesting Magistrate He to find the head of Dashui Village and Liu Yingying and others to testify, and promised that if he had wrongly accused Zhao Xier, he would bear all the responsibilities.
Mr. Zhang has already said this, and looking at the reactions of Zhao Xier and the others, how could County Magistrate He, who is also a shrewd man, not guess who did this?
County Magistrate He felt bitter, and was somewhat annoyed at Master Zhang's lack of tact. He thought his grandson was fine, right? Why did he have to do things so drastically? He made the county magistrate lose face!
At this time, the new legal advisor who was observant of people's words and expressions seemed to have found an opportunity to show off. He moved to the side of County Magistrate He and whispered in his ear: "Sir, I see that it is late today. If we go to Liujia Village and Dashui Village to look for someone, it will be dark in the blink of an eye. Why not arrest these offending servants first and try them another day?"
When County Magistrate He heard this, his eyes rolled as he looked at the two people in the hall, and then a light appeared in his eyes.
Maybe if I delay it a little while until both of them calm down, I won't have to be so embarrassed.
The more Magistrate He thought about it, the more he felt it was feasible, so he used this as an excuse and directly announced that the case would be retried tomorrow.
Although Mr. Zhang really wanted to strip Zhao Xier's ugly face, the county magistrate had spoken, so he couldn't really offend him. After all, he saw that County Magistrate He was angry with him, so he took a step back and bowed.
"I will obey your orders, sir."
"Okay." County Magistrate He's unhappy expression eased a little, and he turned around to ask if there was anything wrong between Zhao Xier and Gu Wenlang.
Zhao Xier and Gu Wenlang knew very well that they could not withstand the investigation and were eager for the trial to be stopped as soon as possible. How could there be any abnormality?
Seeing that they had no objections, County Magistrate He, who had been unable to sit still for a long time, quickly ordered the officers to arrest A Guang and the other four. Then, after saying "court is adjourned", he strode away like a vicious dog chasing its tail.
After watching Magistrate He leave, Zhang Guanghong rubbed his jade ring, turned his head and raised his chin, smiling contemptuously at Zhao Xier: "Madam Gu, Mr. Gu, see you tomorrow."
After saying this, he walked away without waiting for the other party to respond, leaving behind Zhao Xier and Gu Wenlang, whose mouths were almost twisted with anger and whose faces were so black that ink seemed to be smeared out.
Zhao Xier stared at Zhang Guanghong's back with her eyes full of resentment, which were as sharp as a knife, as if they could chisel a hole in the man's back.
She still felt a little regretful. There were many ways to get rid of Liu Yingying, so why did she choose this one? As a result, she provoked this difficult person. Not only was her home in a mess, but she would also be cursed. And Gu Lang...
"Gu Lang, shall we go back too?" Zhao Xier turned to Gu Wenlang guiltily, and seeing his gloomy expression, she said cautiously.
Gu Wenlang looked at her coldly. Even though there were other people present, he couldn't help but turn his head and said in a low voice: "Look at what you have done!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked away quickly without even waiting for Zhao Xier, who turned pale and looked like a wooden chicken.
Staring blankly at Gu Wenlang's receding back, and then glancing at the men and women pointing at her, Zhao Xier's pupils dilated for a moment, and then she suddenly woke up.
"No! Husband, please listen to my explanation..." Zhao Xier didn't care about anything else. She shouted and chased after Gu Wenlang while holding up her skirt.
Seeing the leading actors leaving the stage one by one, the common people in the hall were watching with great interest. They started chatting loudly on the spot, forgetting that this was an important government office.
It was not until the cold-faced officials came to drive them away that they leisurely moved their position and walked outside the gate.
Since the parties involved are not around, these people have nothing to hide when talking about it.
So, one of the people who looked down on Zhao Xier sneered.
"She's the daughter of an official. She's so vicious. Not only did she steal her fiancé, she even wanted to push her into eternal damnation. It's not a good idea to marry such a jealous person. Mr. Gu will have a miserable life in the future."
"No... Hasn't the matter been examined clearly yet? How can you make a conclusion?" A man disagreed.
"Anyone with eyes can see that there's something wrong with her, right? I'm afraid that yours just grew on your nostril accidentally."
“Hahahaha…” As soon as the woman finished speaking, the others started laughing without any hesitation.
The man who was rebuked suddenly blushed and a hint of anger appeared in his eyes.
"What are you laughing at? Doesn't what I said make sense?"
"Of course there are. How about this? Let's make a bet. I'll bet that Madam Gu is a beast in human form. What do you think?" Someone with a broad mind stroked his chin, grinning with a gleam in his eyes. It was obvious that he was a gambler.
"Okay! Let's bet!" The man felt that he couldn't afford to be outdone by a woman, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Place a bet? Then add me in. I'm betting like this girl that Madam Gu is the mastermind behind this."
"And me, no matter what the process is, my thin arms can't beat my thighs, so I'll go with this guy..."
For a while, a group of people outside the yamen gathered to gamble because of the different opinions of the two people.
Seeing that things were developing in a strange direction, the cold-faced but warm-hearted officials looked at each other in bewilderment and even went up to get involved...
Recalling the gambling incident, Gong Ming coughed lightly: "Well, this is the situation at the moment. Although the woman is at a disadvantage and anyone with a discerning eye can see that she has a problem, County Magistrate He obviously doesn't want to offend her."
After saying that, he looked at the table, picked up the bowl and drank some water to moisten his dry throat.
Xia Mo and Ling Chuan, who had been listening silently for a long time, fell into deep thought.
Obviously, they didn't expect that Zhao Xi'er was a daughter of an official family and had some connection with the court...
Suddenly remembering the purpose of Zhao Xier's coming to Qinghe County, Ling Chuan's ink-black eyes suddenly became cold and gradually condensed into frost.
If all his previous assumptions about this woman were correct, then he would never allow anyone who could pose a threat to his safety to exist in this world.
Ling Chuan narrowed his cold eyes slightly, a sharp dark light flashed across his eyes, and his sinisterness almost overflowed.
He claims to be cold-hearted and emotionless, and he fights on the battlefield only because he has no choice. Even if he is framed and forced to retreat, he can choose to stay in a corner and not fight or compete.
However, since God has allowed him to meet the love of his life, he would rather kill her by mistake than leave any future trouble.
Zhao Xier is different from the previous members of the Liu family. The Liu family is not to be feared. The young man can play however he wants, because he will cover for him anyway.
But Zhao Xier is the daughter of an official. If she leaks the young man's affairs or colludes with others, these are not the results he wants to see.
Thinking of this, Ling Chuan raised his eyes as deep as an icy pond, looked deeply at Xia Mo who was frowning slightly, and made up his mind.
