A lucky wife born again from a farm family

Seeing that Magistrate Xu was trembling with fear, Zou Jiang couldn't help laughing and said, "Sir, you don't have to be so scared. It's okay."

fine?

This old man still dared to tell him that nothing was wrong. What Ming Shaoqing told him during the day was obviously that he already knew about the perjury. How could it be possible that everything would be fine?

County Magistrate Xu was about to cry: "Don't laugh... I am not very smart, and I was tricked by you. If I had known that the evidence you handed over was... Well, you should handle it carefully. If Ming Shaoqing really wants to take care of business, we will have a companion on the road to Huangquan."

I'm just sorry for his wife and children. They were happily preparing to follow him for promotion, but in the end they had to follow him to hell. What a tragedy!

Zou Jiang looked at Magistrate Xu's mournful expression and felt a little dumbfounded. He used to think that Magistrate Xu was very interesting, but now that he has had more contact with him, he feels that it is a great blessing for Da Chu to have an official like him.

"Sir, the younger ones will go in first. You don't have to worry too much." Zou Jiang bowed his hands to Magistrate Xu, turned around and walked towards the yard where Ming Shaoqing lived.

Ming Shaoqing's courtyard was guarded by guards with high martial arts skills. After checking that there were no sharp weapons on Zou Jiang's body, he was let in.

Ming Shaoqing was dressed in regular clothes and sitting in the yard. There was a clay stove and tea set on the stone table, making tea. When he saw Zou Jiang coming in, he pointed to the tea stove on the stone table and said: "The tea has just been brewed, but there are just some It burns your mouth and you have to wait a while before you can drink it.”

Zou Jiang glanced at the tea stove and said with a smile: "It's a cool autumn night and hot tea is just right."

After saying that, he walked over, bowed to Ming Shaoqing, and sat down opposite Ming Shaoqing.

Ming Shaoqing clasped his hands together a few times and said to the guards outside: "You guys go down first."

"Yes." The guard at the entrance of the courtyard responded. After the sound of orderly footsteps gradually faded away, Ming Shaoqing continued: "What did County Magistrate Xu tell you?"

Zou Jiang did not hide anything and said: "Master Xu said that he is not very smart and is afraid that he will be ruined this time, but he is very lucky to have Xiao Xiao with him on the road to hell."

After hearing this, Ming Shaoqing nodded seriously: "Master Xu's words are true. He is indeed not very smart."

But he was lucky. Although he fell into a pit, he had a capable person like Zou Jiang to help him.

He actually had selfish motives for meeting Zou Jiang today. He admired Zou Jiang very much. If someone else encountered something like him, they would probably commit suicide the moment they learned the truth.

But Zou Jiang didn't. He carefully designed a game and introduced Xu County Magistrate, Jiang County Lieutenant, Zheng family, Shangguan family, water bandits, and even the people of Tianfu County step by step into the game, using their power to Come and get rid of Zou Youlian.

And those so-called perjury were not submitted to the Fucheng Yamen, so they were not exposed. Therefore, Magistrate Xu was worried in vain. Nothing would happen between him and Zou Jiang.

But it was very unethical to perjury and lead to Zou Youlian's other cases. If he returned to the capital and said that, County Magistrate Xu and Zou Jiang would be miserable, but he didn't want to say it.

"I have always felt that smart and capable people should be at the top of the world. You missed out on it for decades because of Zou Youlian's conspiracy. Now there is an opportunity for you to become famous. Are you willing to stand up?" Mr. Ming Qing poured a cup of hot tea for Zou Jiang and asked him.

…

Magistrate Xu looked at Ming Shaoqing's yard and walked back and forth: "It's almost dawn and we haven't come out yet. Why are you talking so enthusiastically?"

What's there to say? Is he uncomfortable going back to sleep? Chatting in the middle of the night is so boring.

Magistrate Xu was so anxious that he wanted to sneak into the courtyard door and take a look. Before he could get close to the courtyard, he was held back by Ming Shaoqing's guards.

"My lord, please do not eavesdrop, otherwise you will be the one who suffers the consequences," the guard captain said.

With a smile on his face, County Magistrate Xu took out a piece of silver, quietly put it into his hand, and said, "Brother, what are Master Ming and Zou Jiang talking about inside? It's almost dawn, aren't you sleepy? "

The guard captain pushed the money back with a righteous look on his face: "No comment."

After saying that, he left with his guards.

Magistrate Xu had no choice but to continue waiting.

When dawn was about to break, Zou Jiang finally came out of Ming Shaoqing's yard, carrying a small bag in his hand without avoiding Magistrate Xu.

When County Magistrate Xu saw him coming out, he was so happy that he rushed over and asked tremblingly: "Mr. Jiang, what did Shaoqing Ming tell you? Why did it take so long to come out...I, I will not be..." Dismissed from office Behead?

Zou Jiang glanced at Magistrate Xu and said with a smile, "Don't panic, sir. Ming Shaoqing was just chatting with me, and didn't say anything serious."

"Chatting? Who are you fooling? What can we talk about all night long?" Magistrate Xu was worried. After hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth and asked Zou Jiang: "If you tell me the truth, are we finished? Just tell the truth. , I am already prepared in my heart."

Ming Shaoqing is known for his impartiality. Now that he has discovered that what Zou Jiang submitted was perjury, even if he did not submit the perjury to the Fucheng Yamen, such behavior is still undesirable. Ming Shaoqing will definitely use his sword to kill They all clicked.

Zou Jiang shook his head with a smile and said to Magistrate Xu: "Your Excellency, you have misunderstood. Ming Shaoqing and I were really just chatting, and they also talked about other serious matters, but they have nothing to do with perjury."

County Magistrate Xu frowned at first, then looked in disbelief, and finally said happily: "Seriously? Ming Shaoqing really didn't pursue perjury?"

Zou Jiang nodded: "Ming Shaoqing did not pursue this matter, so you don't need to worry anymore, don't ask anymore, just wait for promotion and leave."

Afraid that Magistrate Xu would ask again, he added: "We shouldn't say more about this matter in the first place. I have asked too many questions. Even if Ming Shaoqing wants to skip this matter, I'm afraid he won't be able to."

So don't keep asking, it will be bad.

Magistrate Xu was startled and said hurriedly: "Don't worry, I won't ask anymore."

Although he said this, Magistrate Xu still felt uneasy for three days. It was not until the fourth day, when Ming Shaoqing left Tianfu County without saying anything about perjury, that Magistrate Xu felt completely at ease.

On the day Ming Shaoqing left, General Guo also sent people to escort Zou Youlian and others all the way to Fucheng.

Before leaving, Ming Shaoqing said to County Magistrate Xu: "The water bandit case is very involved and involves an honorable family. It is estimated that the case will not be closed within this year. Mr. Shangguange has already handed over the brochure and asked you to do it for a few more months." The magistrate of Tianfu County will wait until the case is settled before leaving office and moving to Beijing."

As long as the matter of perjury is not pursued, County Magistrate Xu will not refuse to agree. He immediately agreed: "Yes, I will obey the order."

He felt happy in his heart. In these few months, he could clean up some things, and he could feel more at ease when he left office, lest the successor magistrate would stumble him and find out the perjury. Let him not even have peace of mind when he leaves office.
