Chapter 65 Tigers in the Cage
Qingliu County Yamen is in the middle of Qingliu City, but Chu Huan was not taken directly to the yamen, but to the county yamen prison that was quite a distance from the county yamen. According to Captain Huang, it was too late at this time and he could not be promoted to the court. When the magistrate returned, he would interrogate Chu Huan and go to court.
The county jail was set up in a dark courtyard, and the guards were quite strict. Chu Huan was taken into the cell. A bearded prisoner came towards him and said to Captain Huang with a smile: "Captain Huang, is the goods coming again? What did you do again this time?"
Captain Huang said lightly: "This is Chu Huan who killed Zhao Bao. It's too late now. The master sent a message and went back to interrogate me. You'll be in prison. If something goes wrong, you can't keep the matter of eating."
The prison head looked at Chu Huan's eyes, and a strange look flashed through his eyes. He laughed and said, "Don't worry, I, Zhang Dahu, are you still worried?" He shouted, "Come on, lock him in the A-font room!"
A few stout jailers immediately came from behind and took Chu Huan inside.
After the prison guards brought Chu Huan, Zhang Dahuzi came over and whispered: "Captain Huang, you can leave the next thing to Xiao. Xiao promises to make him feel comfortable!"
Captain Huang smiled coldly, looked at Chu Huan's back, which was gradually not in the dim shadow, raised his hand and touched his chin, glanced at Zhang Dawang, and said softly: "Be careful, it's not a Raptor but a Jiang... This kid is not easy to deal with."
Zhang Dahu's face showed a ferocious look and said, "It's really a dragon. When I come to me, I have to turn him into a dead snake!"

In a wing room in the backyard of the county government, the lights were bright. A luxurious black wood table was filled with delicious wine and delicacies, but there were only three people sitting next to the table. In addition to Hu Magistrate Hu who was wearing loose casual clothes and Balitang Xue Lang with a fleshy face, next to Hu Magistrate Hu, there was also a plump young woman who was just over 20 years old. Although she was not very beautiful, she was also 70% or 80% of her color, which was better than the white skin and the coquettish feeling in her bones. At this time, she looked charming, biting Hu Magistrate Hu's ear and whispering, and then giggling.
This young woman is the concubine of Hu County Magistrate. Although Hu County has been an official in Qingliu County for several years, he is not from Qingliu. He came to take office, but his family is in his hometown, and his family stays in his hometown to guard his family.
Magistrate Hu was lonely here and asked for this concubine a year ago. This concubine did bring him great happiness and was deeply loved by him.
After hearing the concubine whispering, Hu Magistrate laughed, and walked with one hand around the back to touch the young woman's plump buttocks, gently kneaded her, and said to Xue Lang: "Xue Lang, your subordinates are dead. I asked you to come here just to comfort you. Since you have already gone, you should be mourning and following the changes!"
Xue Lang sighed: "The young man has sent someone to pay for Zhao Bao's family, orphans and widows. It's really pitiful. This time Chu Huan committed a crime, and he wants to ask the adults to make the decision for Zhao Bao!"
Magistrate Hu smiled and had not spoken yet. A voice came from outside the door, saying, "Sir, I'm here with Shengquan!"
Xue Lang frowned, but Magistrate Hu was very calm and smiled, "It's coming quickly. If I hadn't been concerned about the fact that the Su family and General Lei had some connection, I would have hoped to drag the Su family into the water this time." I stood up and said, "Since I'm here, I will go and see you. Xue Lang, you're here first!" After tidying up some clothes, he smiled and touched the concubine's face, and then left.
When Hu Magistrate left, only Xue Lang and the concubine were left in the house. Xue Lang had already taken out a jade hairpin from his sleeve, presented it with thousands of hands, and said softly with a smile: "Madam, Chu Huan killed my brother, and it is not allowed by nature. I also asked the lady to say a few words in the master's ear. No matter what, you must not let that rusty bun go this time."
The concubine reached out to take it and giggled, "It's so beautiful... Mr. Xue, you are so powerful in Qingliu City and have the help of the master. Two big men can't cure a poor boy in the countryside. In my opinion, that poor boy can't get out this time when he comes in!"
...
Master Liang was waiting in the side hall at this time, and his mood was very complicated. Deep in his heart, he was naturally full of hostility towards Chu Huan. Many of his scandals were revealed this time. Although they were spit out from Manager Yuan’s mouth, Master Liang knew in his heart that according to the root cause, it must be Chu Huan who said something in front of Linlang.
But he volunteered to Linlang to come to the yamen to handle some things, but he really hoped to do something. As long as he made contributions in this crisis, he would not have to worry that Linlang would drive him out of He Shengquan, and even the position of the owner of the shop may be preserved.
He had not waited for too long in the hall, and Magistrate Hu had already come in with a cough. The Lord Liang Fang hurriedly came forward and bowed and said, "Sir, the youngest one is Liang Buquan, who is disturbing you at this time. Please forgive me!"
Magistrate Hu sat down, coughed twice, and said, "I know why you came, but you don't have to worry too much. Go back and tell your boss that I am a person who is fair and honest in dealing with people, and will never be corrupt and abuse the law." He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Zhao Bao's body is now in the corpse of the yamen. The coroner has experienced the corpse, but he was hit in the head and died. The evidence is conclusive, and it is impossible to justify Chu Huan's killing!"
The Lord Liang took a few steps forward and saw that there was no one on the left and right. He leaned forward, took out the silver banknotes from his sleeve and stuffed them, and smiled and said with apologies: "Everyone knows the reputation of the Lord. However, the situation was tense at that time, and Chu Huan might have killed someone by accident, rather than intentionally killing people. This is not the case, so I have to ask the Lord to investigate it thoroughly."
Magistrate Hu glanced at the silver bills, which were only 200 taels of silver. He did not change his face and did not accept the silver bills. He said lightly: "What do you mean? Are you going to bribe me?" He showed anger and said: "Is this the kind of person who accepts bribes and corrupts the law? I have said that this case must be handled fairly and will never betray the law for personal gain!" He looked righteous and looked a little sad.
The owner of Liang just laughed and took a few silver bills from his sleeve. He smiled and whispered: "Sir, our boss has already given instructions to keep Chu Huan no matter how much money he spends... and I will bother you!"
Seeing that the silver bill had already reached four or five hundred taels, Magistrate Hu moved his throat and his fingers holding the teacup bounced slightly. However, Master Liang was also a person who was well aware of this. He placed the silver bills on the tea case next to him. As soon as he put them down, Magistrate Hu had already put down the tea cup in his hand and was pressing on the silver bill. He coughed and said, "Let's do this. I have always been cautious in handling the case. Although I never let anyone go of a guilty person, I will not wrongly accuse a good person. In this case, I will not rush to make a case. I will arrange for someone to re-examine the body. I will always verify that both physical evidence can be determined...!"
The owner of Liang Fang smiled and said, "Then it will be a blessing for you!"
Magistrate Hu nodded slightly, showed a little smile, and said, "Your boss is really kind and righteous. For a little guy, you can spare no money and silver... Yes, your boss really said that?"
Lord Liang was stunned and did not react for a moment.
Magistrate Hu said lightly: "Your boss has really said that no matter how much money you spend, you must keep Chu Huan?"
"This...!" The Lord Liang Fang was unable to understand whether there was any trap in Magistrate Hu's words for a while. After thinking about it, he slightly elongated his voice, and finally nodded: "The big boss did explain this!"
"Oh?" Hu Magistrate Hu nodded and said, "I know that you are a relative of the Great Dong family and your uncle, right?"
The Lord Liang nodded quickly and said, "Yes!"
"If you encounter this lawsuit, your boss will be so worried, I will understand." Hu Magistrate Fu Xu said, "But this time it is just a guy from you and Sheng Quan, but your boss will have to be so expensive... Tell me, is this Chu Huan related to your boss? Are they... also relatives?"
"Absolutely not!" Liang Fangzhu said with great affirmation: "Sir, you don't know that our boss's family is cold on the outside and warm on the inside, and his heart is very good. The reason for Chu Huan's murder this time was also to stand out with Shengquan. Now that Chu Huan has committed a lawsuit for life, the boss's family will naturally feel sorry for him. He spends some money to manage some things and protect Chu Huan... This is understandable!"
Magistrate Hu was a little relieved. He was really afraid that Chu Huan would really have a deep relationship with Linlang. If that were the case, the matter would be difficult to handle. At this time, Magistrate Hu understood in his heart and smiled and said, "I understand. Go back first, so that your boss can rest assured. I will definitely do my job impartially!"
After the Liang Fangzhu thanked Magistrate Hu for leaving, Magistrate Hu hurried back to the elegant room in the backyard. Xue Lang had already come forward and asked, "Sir, is Su Linlang coming?"
"It's Liang Buquan." Magistrate Hu walked to the table and sat down, laughing: "It seems that He Shengquan wants to spend money to buy his life. Su Linlang put down his words. As long as Chu Huan is saved, he will spend as much money as possible. This is a great opportunity to make a fortune!"
The concubine next to him said charmingly: "Oh, Su Linlang is really generous. What does this Chu Huan have to do with her? Do she want her to spare money?" Before anyone could speak, Feng smiled and said: "It's not that widow Sichun. That pretty widow fell in love with this guy, so she saved her so strongly, right? Su Linlang has been widow for many years and is now moved... In my opinion, I'm afraid these two people will have a secret long ago..."
Xue Lang frowned and asked softly: "Sir, is Liang Buquan coming? Then Su Linlang didn't come out in person? If she really wants to save Chu Huan, why don't she come here in person?"
Hu Magistrate Fu Xu said, "Xue Lang, do you have something to say?"
Xue Lang thought for a while and said, "Sir, I don't think this matter can be delayed. There are so many dreams in the night!" He whispered, "Sir, Chu Huan is a tiger down the mountain. This person either doesn't take action, but he will be extremely cruel as soon as he takes action...!"
Magistrate Hu picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said, "It is possible to beat him down. If we punish him, it is nothing more than blocking our way of wealth. If the Su family is really willing to bleed, a small poor boy in the countryside will not be a concern."
"Sir, what is said," Xue Lang smiled slightly, but soon showed a solemn expression: "Sir, have you ever thought that a poor boy in the countryside, without power or power, has opposes us openly again and again. Such a person has a rebellious heart in his heart, and is a big troublemaker." He clenched his fists: "The little one is just worried. If he really let this boy go for the money of the Su family, once this boy resents us, then...!" He did not say it directly, but just spit out a few words: "The desperate is doing everything!"
