"Stop, where are you from? Dare to pretend to be a servant in my Qingzhou city?" asked a person who took the lead over there in a county lieutenant's uniform.

The four yads looked at each other, and the old man and a few villagers in the back saw the weapons in the hands of the officers and soldiers surrounding them, with sharp spears directed at them, and they all subconsciously leaned behind the four yads.

The leader of the government called Ding Lai. He took out the official documents and his own waist card from his arms, and explained with a fist: "My lord, I am the government servant of Tongshan City County. I was ordered to investigate a case. This is the county magistrate Luo Mingda. The official documents issued by the adults are urgent, so please let them go."

Ding Lai deliberately said Luo Mingda's name, hoping that these people would care about Lord Luo's identity and not make it too difficult for them.

The county lieutenant walked over and took the paperwork and looked at them, then looked at their waist cards, and then looked at the villagers behind, and said, "Tongshan County's government? What's the case?"

Ding Lai slightly lowered his head and clasped his fists and replied: "I'm sorry, Master Luo ordered to keep it confidential, and I have no comment."

There were no officers or soldiers when they crossed the river yesterday, they were there early today. Jia Xiaoren's cousin is the prefect of Qingzhou, and the entire city is under his control. This county lieutenant must have been ordered to stop them here. Obviously, they also knew what the case was.

But Ding Lai knew very well in his heart that at most they would stop them crossing the river to delay time, and would never detain them. After all, Lord Luo is a master Shangshu. This document was issued by Lord Luo. If the prefect is still smart If you do not dare to embarrass Master Luo too much.

"Wait, there is a thief in the city recently. The whole city is under martial law. I'm going to show this to the adults." After that, the county lieutenant took the paperwork and left.

Ding Lai and a few yamen frowned. The whole city was under martial law. It was nothing but nonsense. When they came here yesterday, there weren't any officers or soldiers. But according to the rules, when they come here to do business, they really need to say hello to the county government here before doing the business.

I wanted to take people back secretly without disturbing the Jia family and the officials, but I didn't expect to be stopped.

"Master stay." Ding Lai suddenly called the county lieutenant, and said: "Master Luo is still waiting for the case to be heard. Can you accommodate me?"

The county lieutenant stopped, turned around, and said righteously: "How can this work? You are also doing errands, don't you understand this rule? Wait."

With that, he walked slowly towards the city.

Ding Lai saw his attitude and knew that he had to wait.

On the other side, Luo Mingda and Xian Cheng are all waiting for the yavier and them to bring witnesses back. They were absent from the office that morning.

Waiting left and right did not wait for the officials and witnesses, but waited for Master Lu, the magistrate of Qingzhou Prefecture, Master Zhang, and his father Jia Xiaoren!

Luo Mingda looked at the three people, his eyelids jumped.

The stumbling block is coming.

"Master Lu, Master Zhang, what kind of wind is this blowing that brought the two to my Tongshan? Did you know that I have some delicious food here in Tongshan, and I came here to taste it?" Luo Mingda said haha.

Master Lu, the prefect of Qingzhou, reluctantly smiled and said: "Lord Luo took office. Last time he passed through Qingzhou, the officer happened to be in the county. He has not yet congratulated him. This time I am here to congratulate the adults. The small gift is a pearl of the night obtained by a merchant in the South China Sea. If Master Luo doesn't dislike it, he can play around."

With that, Master Lu's entourage gave Luo Mingda a few boxes of gifts. He opened the small box at the top. Inside was a night pearl the size of a baby's fist. Even if it didn't shine at night, its body was mellow and white, and it was also very beautiful.

"Wow, really? Let me take a look." Luo Mingda took it up and looked at the door in surprise, put it in his hand and played for a while, then put it back in the box, closed the box, and took the entourage. Pushed his hand and said, "Okay, I've seen it, and I've played with it. You guys put it away soon."

Master Lu had a smile, and said in surprise: "What? Master Luo doesn't like it?"

Luo Mingda laughed and said, "Master Lu is too polite. If you accept it, please accept the gift." Ye Mingzhu is not in his family, and he is playing with his son as a toy.

Master Lu paused, looked at each other with Master Zhang and Father Jia, and then said: "Master Luo doesn't like this night pearl, I heard Master Luo likes food, there is also a set of white jade bowls and chopsticks below, Master Luo can take a look?"

Luo Mingda looked at Master Lu with a smile, and said: "Master Lu, I really like food. In Tongshan City, there is one person who cooks dishes that taste like the best in the world. I have never tasted better than him in Beijing. The dishes are delicious."

Master Lu raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Is there something better than the cook in Beijing?"

"Yes, even the imperial kitchen of the palace can't match it." Luo Mingda nodded, then shook his head regretfully, and said, "It's a pity that you can't eat it anymore."

Master Lu didn’t know that Luo Mingda was talking about Yu Qingze. He only knew that Jia Xiaoren opened a restaurant here. This time the incident was confronted with a restaurant called Jufulou, but he didn’t know that Jufulou’s. The boss is what Luo Mingda is now talking about as a cook with very good cooking skills.

He asked: "Why Master Luo said that?"

Luo Mingda was surprised and said: "How come you don’t know how adults? Your cousin, Jia Xiaoren, sent someone to someone’s restaurant to have bean noodles the night before. Didn’t you come for this? You have done all this, of course the boss It’s impossible to make delicious dishes for you anymore."

The three of them had a heartbeat. It turned out that what Luo Mingda was talking about was the boss of Jufulou!

Luo Mingda said again: "Why? Didn't you come for this?"

Master Lu looked at Master Zhang and winked at him.

Master Zhang bit his head and stepped forward and said, "Master Luo, I am waiting for this. I have also inquired about it beforehand. Jia Xiaoren and that Niu San didn't know each other, so why did the adults imprison him too? Get up? Besides, Jia Xiaoren is from Qingzhou. If he commits anything, he should be brought back to Qingzhou for trial."

Master Lu did not speak.

Luo Mingda looked at Master Zhang, looked up and down, and asked, "Master Zhang, how many years have you been the magistrate of Qingzhou?"

Lord Zhang was asked inexplicably, but still replied: "Five years."

Luo Mingda tutted and said, "Master Zhang has been a county magistrate for five years. I must have tried many more cases than I have been for half a year, right?"

The Master Zhang nodded, and said, "That's how it is."

Luo Mingda looked at him and said, "Why Master Zhang is not familiar with Dasheng Law for half a year? My Dasheng Law stipulates that criminals who commit crimes in different places shall be under the local jurisdiction, right?"

Lord Zhang was so poor that he could only blush and nod his head. Of course he knows the provisions of this law. He can't do anything about it. He can only bet that Lominda doesn't know it!

Seeing that Master Zhang was crippled here, Father Jia stepped forward and said, "Master Luo, Xiaoren doesn't know Niu San, Master Luo, don't listen to one's words. You have wronged a good person."

"Wronged?" Luo Mingda raised her eyebrows and looked at Father Jia, and asked: "You said I wronged your son?"

Father Jia was about to nod, Master Lu pulled him, and Father Jia quickly shut up and stopped talking.

Master Lu changed the subject and said, "Master Luo, Jia Xiaoren's father brought him some food, can you visit me?"

Father Jia hurriedly nodded and said, "Yeah, yeah, it's freezing cold this day. I brought him some clothes to protect him from the cold, and I would like to ask the adults to relax."

Luo Mingda shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Jia Xiaoren is an important suspect. You can't see anyone. When you go to the court, you will naturally see him."

When he touched a hard nail, Master Lu knew that it would not work, and took Master Zhang and Father Jia away.

When he walked out of the county office and was far away, Father Jia said to Master Lu: "Hongsheng, what should I do now?"

Master Lu looked back at the direction of the Xiaxian government and said, "This is not Qingzhou after all. He is Luo Shangshu's son, so he can't come to force. We stopped the witnesses over there. We can drag it for a day or two. There is not enough evidence. , As long as Xiaoren and Niu San are killed and do not let go, he will not be convicted. I will ask to listen to the supervision and interrogation together, and Mrs. Zhang will also listen to it. Can't let him retract the confession."

Father Jia nodded when he heard this, and Master Zhang also nodded.

When he returned to Jia Xiaoren's house, Master Lu found Father Jia again and said to him: "Just in case, you have to find someone to top you up. You can find a way to see who is right."

Father Jia looked up at Master Lu, nodded heavily and agreed.

On the other side, Luo Mingda and Xian Cheng waited for a day before the officials came back, and they were a little worried.

"Maybe things are a bit tricky?" the master book said.

The county prime minister said: "There is the Qingzhou site. It is no better than our own site. There will definitely be ways to prevent them from bringing the witnesses back. Your lord, look, do you want to send more people over there?"

Luo Mingda walked around the house, shook his head, and said, "What if the person sent there can't come back? Wait another day to see."

At night, Luo Mingda returned home, also frowning.

Lovelang rubbed his forehead and asked, "Why is your husband troubled?"

Luo Mingda pulled down Fulang's hand, shook it in his hand, and said: "The yaman sent to Qingzhou has not come back yet, I am afraid that it was stopped by the surname Lu."

Lovelang pulled out his hand, patted the back of Luo Mingda's hand, and said, "I received a letter from the butler in the morning, and he said they will be back tomorrow. Wait and see."

"Really?" Luo Mingda's eyes lit up immediately, nodded and said: "Okay, wait another day."

The next day, by the dock in Qingzhou City, Ding Lai and the other three yamen brought the old man and the villagers to the dock again.

The officers and soldiers were still there.

"Boss, what should I do?" a servant asked.

They waited here for a day yesterday, and the county lieutenant never came back after holding their paperwork. They went to the county government to find someone, and the government officer at the door told them that the county lieutenant was not there at all, and that the county magistrate and the prefect had gone to work in other counties and were not in the county government.

Ding Lai and the others are anxious, this is simply a deliberate delay. However, the officers and soldiers on the dock guarded them with spears, and they would change shifts midway, until the boats at the dock stopped moving in the dark, and then they went back.

Few people had no choice but to stay in Qingzhou City for another night.

"Brother, our essay has been handed over to your county lieutenant, you have no reason to stop us. Everyone is a errand, please be accommodating." Ding Lai said to one of the soldiers who took the lead.

The man also replied very directly: "Without the order of the county lieutenant, we can't let you pass, just give up."

"If you do this again, don't blame me for waiting for a hard time!" Ding Lai said with a deep face.

The man looked at them, hahaha said: "Just you? I advise you to wait obediently."

Ding Lai was so angry that they rolled up their sleeves and wanted to step forward.

Suddenly an uncle rushed over to hold Ding Lai, and shouted: "Oh, sorry, sorry, sir, my son suddenly has a stomachache, and I can't carry him on my back. Could you please help? Should I carry him to find a doctor?"

Ding Lai is getting angry, where's the uncle from here! Wouldn't you find someone else to carry your son?

He turned his head and glared at the uncle, but when he saw the man clearly, his eyes rounded, and he opened his mouth and said, "Luo..."

The uncle saw that he was about to yell out, so he winked at him and said, "Official man, please, help me, right?"

Ding Lai reacted quickly and said, "Okay, where is it?"

The uncle pointed a direction, and there was a young man squatting under a tree with his belly in his hands not far away.

Ding Lai waved to the back and said, "Come with me."

With that, the group followed the uncle.

Ding Lai carried the young man and followed the uncle forward and walked to the corner. When the officers and soldiers were out of sight, the uncle patted the young man on the back to let him come down, and led them to the woods quickly.

They didn't stop until they got out of a mile.

"Steward Luo, why are you here?" Ding Lai asked, looking at the uncle, the housekeeper of Luo's house.

Steward Luo replied: "Our Shao Fulang sent me to do some things, which happened to be finished. I saw you were stopped yesterday afternoon."

Ding Lai said angrily: "The county lieutenant took our papers and left and never came back. Obviously he was delaying time."

Steward Luo said: "The prefect here must have arrived in Tongshan and wants to prevent us from taking the witnesses back."

"Then what shall we do? They are at the dock, and we can't make it through."

"Come with me." Steward Luo took them for another mile, and walked straight to a river bank in Qinghe, where there were already a few other people waiting there, and there were still A wooden boat!

"Steward Luo! Did you get a boat?" Ding Lai said in surprise.

Steward Luo nodded and said: "Let's go back soon, adults and they should be anxious."

"Good!" Ding Lai said happily.

The group got on the wooden boat and crossed the river smoothly and returned to Tongshan City via the upper reaches of the pier. They didn't get ashore from the pier in Tongshan. They quietly landed on the bank from a gentler river, and then refitted and secretly returned to the county government.

When Steward Luo and his party returned, Luo Mingda immediately notified Yu Qingze and was promoted to the church in the afternoon.

Father Jia and the others sent someone to look at the situation of the county government. They learned that they were going to be promoted in the afternoon. They rushed to the county government. Just when the government officers finished shouting ‘mighty’, Niu San and Jia Xiaoren were taken to the court.

"Lord Luo, this case involves the people of Qingzhou, and this officer requires supervision and trial." Mr. Lu said as soon as he entered the court.

When Jia Xiaoren saw Master Lu and his dad coming, his sluggish spirit suddenly lifted and he became confident.

Luo Mingda smiled and said, "Master Lu, do you want to supervise?"

Master Lu nodded.

Luo Mingda dug his ears and said in doubt: "Master Lu, I wonder if you are too anxious to make a mistake. This suspect is your cousin. According to our Dasheng Law, you have to avoid it. Where is the supervision? ?"

Master Lu had a meal and couldn't refute it. Unexpectedly, Lominda was quite proficient in the law.

Luo Mingda said again: "If you want to listen, please go outside the court."

Master Lu looked at Luo Mingda, turned around, gave Master Zhang a look, then retreated to the door of the court with a dark face, and stood listening with the other people.

Afterwards, Master Zhang said again: "Master Luo, this officer asked for an audience in the hall, are you okay?"

Luo Mingda smiled and said: "Okay. Come here, give Master Zhang a stool."

The Ya Ya took a small bench from behind and placed it next to the Ya Ya near the door.

"Excuse me, Lord Zhang, you know, the magistrate who took office has greeted too much money and has filled the treasury. All I have left is a mess. Our Tongshan county office is so poor that we can't find a chair. There is only this kind of small stool, so I will wrong you first." Luo Mingda said with ashamed expression on his face.

"You..." Master Zhang blushed with suffocation, and finally had to shrink his legs and sit on the small bench.

This is deliberately making things difficult, he knows, but there is no way to know, the identity of the other party is not as simple as a county magistrate, even if the other party makes things difficult, it is not his small county magistrate.

The prefect above forced him to come over, and he was run by his peers again. Master Zhang felt like a dumb eating huanglian, and he couldn't tell.

Yu Qingze and others couldn't help but want to laugh when they looked at them, but they all held back desperately, leaving only their shoulders shaking.

They don’t know that the county government is poor, but they know that the Luo family’s three meals a day are packed at Yuji Snack Bar and Jufulou.

When Master Lu and Master Zhang saw these scenes, their faces were too black.

All my face is lost!

And when Jia Xiaoren saw his cousin and they were devastated, his heart sank. This Luo Mingda really doesn't give any face.

Snapped!

Seeing Master Zhang sitting down, Luo Mingda gave a shock and said, "Yu Qingze sued Jia Xiaoren for instructing Niu San to sneak into the medicine downstairs in Jufu, and deliberately murder a case. Now the trial is opened! Take witnesses to Mr. Li, Jia's House. , Wulipo villagers!"

Master Lu, Master Zhang, and Father Jia were shocked when they heard this. Didn't they set up an interception? Why did they run back? !

What do you eat for that group of rice buckets? !
