Chapter 89

Xu Xin sighed imperceptibly. She thought the case of Shi Xiaorui could be closed tomorrow.

The next day, Qingzhu told Xu Xin what he had heard. It was true that Li Fugui had secretly seen Lin county magistrate because of Shi Xiaorui. Because Shi Xiaorui had an old feud with Li Fugui, he asked Lin county magistrate to help him execute Shi Xiaorui as soon as possible.

Hearing this, Xu Xin clenched her fist angrily, knocked on her desk, and said, "it's really such a thing. The magistrate of Lin county has no distinction between right and wrong. When a Japanese official thought it was just a busy affair, he made a judgment casually, only saying that he was confused. Unexpectedly, it's really like Shi Xiaorui's saying that he can be careless about people's lives. I will never allow the imperial court to order officials to do so arbitrarily, ignoring the law and discipline. "

"I didn't expect that the case of Shi Xiaorui brought out a corrupt official." It's not easy to be a man in this officialdom. You must have a good mind, or you will really harm others and yourself.

"Let's go and find Shi Xiaorui to confirm whether we really have an old feud with Li Fugui." Naturally, Xu Xin will not listen to only one side of the story. He got up from his chair and wanted to go out.

"My Lord, you can send a yamen servant to ask him. Why do you need to go in person?" Green bamboo says urgently.

At this time, Constable Zhang came in with a sabre on his body. He saw Xu Xin and Qingzhu were about to go out. He gave a salute with both hands clasping his fist and asked, "my Lord, do you want to go out?"

When Xu Xin sees Constable Zhang, she thinks that he asked Qingzhu to call Constable Zhang to find her yesterday. After thinking about it, she'd better find Shi Xiaorui. Then he sat back in his chair and said to Constable Zhang, "yes, yes, I have something to ask for you. Look at my brain, I forget everything."

"What can I do for you, my lord?" Since Xu Xin said that, Constable Zhang went straight to the subject.

"Do you know Liu Qiang in Yamen?" Xu Xin asked.

"Liu Qiang?" Constable Zhang thought about it and nodded: "yes, he was in charge of patrolling in the town. It seems that he contradicted the magistrate Lin or how. Anyway, he offended the magistrate Lin and was transferred to the prison to take charge of internal affairs."

Xu Xin thinks that he had a grudge against Nalin county magistrate, so he came to report it yesterday. He also thinks that he is surprised why he did so. Now he is suddenly enlightened. Nine times out of ten, the man sees that Shi Xiaorui's case is almost over, so he quickly pulls out Nalin County magistrate, so that he can avenge himself.

Said this, Constable Zhang sighed, said: "it's a pity that Liu Qiang, if I were him, I would not be working in this Yamen."

"Oh? Where is that Xu Xin asked.

Constable Zhang said: "Liu Qiang's family is poor. He lives on his ancestral meadows and his salary in the Yamen. But unexpectedly, a local rich man in Liu Qiang's village takes a fancy to his land and has to buy it from Liu Qiang's family. Liu Qiang's father naturally disagreed. As a result, the local rich man tricked his father into selling the land. It didn't help when his father came back, so his father took the local rich man to the Yamen. Who knows that the local rich man secretly gave a gift to the county magistrate Lin, and the county magistrate Lin awarded the land to the local rich man. "

Xu Xin nodded her head. It seems that many people in the Yamen know about the secret benefit of county magistrate Lin. at least Constable Zhang and Liu Qiang all know about it. Maybe the secret plot between county magistrate Lin and Li Fugui is true.

Constable Zhang continued: "it seems that because of this, Liu Qiang once had a quarrel with the magistrate of Lin county. As a result, the magistrate of Lin county directly transferred him to the prison to take charge of internal affairs. If the magistrate of Lin county was not afraid of making a big noise, he would not have been working in the Yamen."

After hearing what Constable Zhang said, Xu Xin felt that Liu Qiang was excused for doing so. She wanted to punish the corrupt official severely. In the heart also secretly sighs this Lin county magistrate unexpectedly so blatantly receives people's money, even the people in the Yamen knew his virtue. It seems that he has a lot of guts. Do you think no one will dare to deal with him.

Xu Xin looked up at the constable and thought that what he said was true. Then she asked, "in this case of Shi Xiaorui, do you know if the magistrate of Lin has secretly taken advantage of others?"

Constable Zhang is also a straightforward person. He says something directly in his heart: "I haven't heard it personally, but I've heard it mentioned by several brothers in Yamen. It seems that Li Fugui has come to Lin county magistrate several times to say that he has an old feud with Shi Xiaorui. It's good for Lin county magistrate to get rid of Shi Xiaorui as soon as possible before the new county magistrate takes over."

Xu Xin clenched her fist tightly, and the nameless fire in her heart rushed up again. She said: "well, you Lin Yeqing, are you sure you can buy people's lives if you take advantage of them? I want to get rid of it before I come. "

Seeing Xu Xin's angry appearance, Constable Zhang didn't say any more, but he was secretly glad in his heart. It can be seen that although the magistrate is young, he has some brains in the case of Shi Xiaorui. Moreover, he should be a good official who is upright, considerate of the people, and jealous of evil.

"What do you know about Li Fugui?" Xu Xin continues to dig out the information she wants.

"I haven't heard of his name before, but I've been close to magistrate Lin in recent years. It seems that his business is getting bigger and bigger. Of course, it's often covered by magistrate Lin. This man is very talkative and glib. It's said that there are all his industries in the town. " Constable Zhang didn't know much about Li Fugui.

Xu Xin nodded and said to Constable Zhang, "go down first. I understand the situation."

"The little one is leaving." Constable Zhang saluted with both hands and went out.

Xu Xin stood up and paced back and forth with her arms around her chest. He was sorting out the whole thing. He said to green bamboo, "just in case, I have to go to the prison and ask shi Xiaorui." Then he went out. Green bamboo did not ask, directly followed Xu Xin out of the house.

Shi Xiaorui saw that Er Gouzi was brought back and became much quieter, thinking about what happened. I want to see the county magistrate and ask him how to judge this case. Let's have a good talk about whether it's dead or alive. What's the meaning of keeping her in this prison all the time.

Thinking of Shi Xiaorui is a little uncomfortable. He thinks about the appearance of the new county magistrate. But last time he didn't want to go with him, he didn't care about himself any more. As the saying goes, women are fickle. I didn't expect that this man could be so fickle. It's hard for her to see him now.

At this time, the door of the prison was opened, and the Yamen officer called out: "your honor!"

Shi Xiaorui knows that the new magistrate is coming. She thinks that she is still talking about him. She doesn't expect others to appear.
