Chapter 144 His Royal Highness King Liang
As soon as Shitou's daughter-in-law and the others left, Zheng took a sip and spit: "Damn, Zhao Dong's family is all over, you guys should wait too, you'll be next! Let's all be unlucky together!"
…
As the saying goes, good things don’t go out, but bad things spread far and wide. The news of Zhao Dong’s family being arrested spread like a gust of wind throughout the village.
What's more, this news reached the ears of grandpa's neighbor Sun Ma's daughter-in-law. She has been holding a breath in her chest because of Zhao Dong's promise recently. Now, she finally feels that she can breathe.
Those who gloat about others' misfortune are short of holding a trumpet and spreading the news in the village.
Thus, the grandfather's family also heard about this matter very quickly. At that time, Zhao Guifen was so angry that she stared at her and passed out.
All of a sudden, the grandmother's house was in chaos.
Zhao Dong and the others were arrested and sent to the Yamen, and immediately sent to prison.
Zhao Cheng, Zhao Yu, and Zhao Ya were all frightened by the ferocious prisoners in the cell. They grabbed Sun Mei's clothes and looked around vigilantly.
Sun Mei comforted them in a low voice.
The cell was dark and damp, and rats could be heard from time to time.
Pei Yuanqing and Master Feng stood in this prison, both with a calm demeanor.
Pei Yuanqing was still shaking his folding fan leisurely, with an extraordinary demeanor, following the dirty and dark prison, as if he had nothing to do with it.
Zhao Zhitong was held in Zhao Dong's arms. She blinked her eyes and looked at the cell curiously. Opposite to the cell where they were imprisoned, there was also a cell with a disheveled prisoner sitting against the wall.
Zhao Zhitong has been paying attention to him for a long time, and finally twisted his body, got down from Zhao Dong's arms, and ran to the door of the cell, holding the door with both hands, and his little head stuck out from the gap.
She blinked her eyes and looked at the other side, probably because her gaze was too hot. The unkempt prisoner noticed it, moved involuntarily, and raised his head, revealing a dark face that could not be seen clearly.
But the most conspicuous thing is the pair of eyes, showing fierceness and stubbornness.
Seeing that the little girl didn't look like she was in prison at all, Pei Yuanqing felt very novel, so she bent down to look at Zhao Zhitong, and asked, "Little girl, aren't you afraid?"
Zhao Zhitong blinked, shook his little head, and said in a milky voice, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the judge will come to save us!"
At this time, the prisoner on the opposite side suddenly sneered: "What a naive baby, judge? How can there be a judge! You come in, don't even think about getting out!"
Hearing this, Zhao Zhitong blinked and looked at him, pouted his mouth, and said in a dissatisfied milky voice: "You are the naive baby, the judge exists, hmph!"
Then he looked at Pei Yuanqing unwillingly and asked, "Uncle Pei, judges exist, right?"
Pei Yuanqing couldn't help laughing, looking at the pure eyes of the baby, subconsciously stretched out his hand, rubbed her little head, and said with a smile: "The girl is right, judges exist."
Then, Zhao Zhitong looked proudly at the opposite cell: "Hey, did you hear that, my Uncle Pei has already said that judges exist."
Seeing that the person on the opposite side ignored him, Zhao Zhitong said to himself: "Hey, are you dumb? My Uncle Pei is amazing, and so is Uncle Feng. They all say that there is a judge..."
"Cut! Little fool."
The prisoner snorted coldly, turned around and lay down on the thatch, with his back to Zhao Zhitong, as if out of sight and out of mind.
Zhao Zhitong didn't feel embarrassed, so he squatted at the door of the cell, stuck his little head out of the gap, and screamed.
That still had grandma's voice, which sounded clean and clear in this dark cell, as if dispelling a lot of haze in the cell, many prisoners looked towards them.
At this time, the movement on their side caught the attention of the jailer, and a jailer came over with a knife in his hand, put his foot on the cell door, and made a loud bang: "What are you doing, be quiet, be quiet! !"
Zhao Zhitong hurriedly retracted his small head, stared at the jailer, and watched the jailer leave, then turned his gaze to the man opposite again, and asked in a childish voice: "Hey, what crime did you commit, why are you locked up? If you have any grievances, you can tell me, I will find the judge, and let him save you!"
The prisoner simply covered his head with the quilt and ignored Zhao Zhitong.
At this moment, Zhao Dong walked over helplessly, and pulled Zhao Zhitong to his side: "Tongtong, be good, don't move around by Daddy's side."
"Oh, good." Zhao Zhitong nodded obediently, and obediently stayed by Zhao Dong's side. After standing for a while, he raised his head and raised his hands and said, "Daddy, my feet hurt, I want to hug."
Zhao Dong bent down and hugged her in his arms, so Zhao Zhitong put his arms around Zhao Dong's neck and became dazed. Gradually, he became a little drowsy.
Pei Yuanqing and Master Feng sat in the cell, chatting leisurely.
…
At the same time, inside the yamen, the county magistrate was arranging his official uniform, and when he heard the report from the head arrester, he raised his head unexpectedly: "What did you say? You arrested two more people?"
Catcher nodded and said: "Yes, master, they are all in Zhao's house. I think they have a lot of relationship. Maybe they conspired to steal Qin landlord's design, so they were all arrested."
The magistrate of the county was stunned for a moment, and for some reason, his heart suddenly felt a little drummed, but then he felt that he was thinking too much: "Okay, let's take them to the lobby."
…
Just when Zhao Zhitong was about to fall asleep lying on Zhao Dong's shoulder, the jailer opened the door of the cell, and they were brought to the court.
With the sound of ascension, mighty, Zhao Zhitong woke up instantly.
"Who is under the hall!"
A majestic voice sounded.
Zhao Dong's family knelt on the Changchao Hall. At this time, the butler of the Qin family, that is, the head of the family, bowed his hands and said: "Master, I am the butler of the Qin family."
As he spoke, he pointed to Zhao Dong's family and said, "They stole my master's house design drawings!"
This was the first time they had kneeled down since they crossed. Zhao Zhitong was full of curiosity about this county government, but Zhao Dong explained that she couldn't look around, so she lowered her head and looked at the ground.
At this moment, when I heard that person's voice, I subconsciously looked back and saw that the butler was standing, so I was full of doubts, why didn't he kneel down?
And those who also did not kneel down were Pei Yuanqing and Master Feng.
The magistrate of the county also noticed Pei Yuanqing and Master Feng, so he knew that this should be what the head catcher said, two more people should be arrested.
Then, the gavel was knocked, and the sound of a bump resounded throughout the lobby.
"Who are the two people in the hall, and why didn't they kneel down when they saw this official!"
Pei Yuanqing was still shaking his folding fan, and said with a smile: "Are you sure you want me to kneel down for you?"
After finishing speaking, he took off a badge from his waist and held it up.
The magistrate of the county was panicked, and hurried down to look at the waist card. Then, his whole body was not well, and he was covered in cold sweat. He knelt down tremblingly: "Liang, His Royal Highness Liang Wang, I don't know Liang. Your Royal Highness is driving you, and your subordinates have neglected His Royal Highness Liang, and they still hope to make amends..."
