Chapter 60 60 Yamen

An Chuxia entered the majestic lobby, handed the invitation she had written before coming to the master, and then bowed her hands to the serious-faced county magistrate sitting in the lobby.

Claim: "Teacher!"

A scholar with a good reputation can call him "teacher" or "sir" when meeting an official.

An Chuxia called the Lushan County magistrate her teacher because when she took the county examination, the magistrate was her examiner.

When County Magistrate Guo also saw An Chuxia, he recognized her as the female student who slept during the county examination. He also knew that An Chuxia had not only passed the county criminal examination in their Lushan County.

He is also Xiao Sanyuan who took the imperial examination this year.

Magistrate Guo was still a little surprised to see An Chuxia in the lobby. He took a look at the invitation handed over by his master and put it aside.

I patted the gavel and made the lobby completely quiet.

Then he looked at An Chuxia calmly and said, "I just heard Inspector Gao briefly explain what happened.

As for what you said about someone instigating it, I still have to interrogate you before I can confirm it and arrest the suspect."

An Chuxia offered her hand and said, "...it all depends on the master."

Afterwards, Magistrate Guo looked serious again and interrogated the two gangsters kneeling in the hall in a majestic tone.

Magistrate Guo's face darkened when he heard someone offered them money to cut off the tendons of An Chuxia's right hand.

During his tenure, the county was able to produce an outstanding scholar like An Chuxia, which would also increase his political achievements.

He is not yet forty years old this year. If his political performance is good at the end of this term, he is very likely to move up the ranks.

At this critical moment, what if An Chuxia, the little Sanyuan, had her hand really destroyed?

Not only did he fail to gain political achievements, but he also had to bear the disadvantages of governing his subordinates. His political achievements would also be undermined by his efforts over the past few years.

How could this not make Magistrate Guo furious?

Even for his own sake, County Magistrate Guo must find out about this matter. If he fools him this time, what will happen to the learned An Xuezi from high school~

Thinking of this, Magistrate Guo's eyes became firmer.

He knew that An Chuxia would leave for Jiangning Provincial City to take the provincial examination in a few days.

This case also involves going to Yunshan Town to arrest the suspect Zhao Minghui, which also involves the chief steward of the mayor's family in Qingshan Town. Even if he handles it as soon as possible.

I'm afraid this student An doesn't have time to wait.

Since An Chuxia said that it was all up to him, County Magistrate Guo also asked An Chuxia to go back to prepare for the exam with peace of mind, and someone would be sent to inform her of the outcome of the case.

When An Chuxia walked out of the Yamen, she saw Mu Tan standing there looking at her earnestly, and there was an unexpected person standing next to her.

"Senior Brother Mo, why are you here?!" An Chuxia asked with a smile.

Mo Ziluo snorted loftily, "I'm not here, how do I know someone is going to break your tendons!"

An Chuxia remembered that Mo Ziluo's father was Bo, the head of the county government, and his family lived not far behind the government office. He probably came here because he heard someone talking about it.

"Little junior sister, what are you thinking about? Why don't you tell me what happened?

If you want to let other senior brothers know that something like this has happened to you, they won’t have to worry about visiting you."

An Chuxia raised her hand to cover her forehead and looked at the usually aloof Senior Brother Mo in surprise, but he flicked himself with worry in his eyes.

"...Hurry up and say it!"

An Chuxia had no choice but to show a helpless smile and tell what happened again.

After hearing this, Mo Ziluo said with a stern expression: "I will ask my father to pay attention to this matter when I go back.

When you go back, prepare for the provincial examination with peace of mind and don't let other things disturb your mind."

Mo Ziluo said with concern.

An Chuxia nodded obediently. After all, Senior Brother Mo was doing it for her own good.

It was getting late and my brother An Jinchen, who didn't know what happened, would be worried if he went back too late.

An Chuxia said goodbye to Mo Ziluo.

He got on the carriage driven by Mu Tan and left Lushan County as Mo Ziluo watched him off.

It was already dark when the two returned to the village, and they saw a dark figure standing at the entrance of the village in the distance. An Chuxia guessed from the figure that it was her doting brother.

Mu Tan drove the carriage forward and stopped.

"Why are you back so late!

I heard from the villagers that I saw you driving the carriage to the town. Is there something wrong?" An Jinchen jumped onto the front of the carriage with worry.

An Chuxia said before Mu Tan spoke: "It's okay, I just suddenly remembered that my teacher had an undergraduate examination book that he hadn't finished reading.

Thinking that it might be helpful for this provincial examination, I went to read it before coming back, but I didn't expect to come back late."

An Chuxia had no idea that as long as it was helpful for studying, her brother would definitely approve of it.

"That's it! Just finish reading it!

When the time comes to take the exam for these books that you haven’t finished reading, it will be really troublesome.”

Mu Tan curled her lips and glanced enviously at An Jinchen sitting next to her.

He knew that this case involved the mayor of Qingshi Town, and he had to find out the truth before he could arrest the person and open a trial. It would be difficult to close the case in a while.

Seeing that the provincial examination was coming soon, the little girl didn't want her brother to worry.

So I didn't say much to tell the truth.

An Chuxia already had a guess about the person who wanted to destroy her right hand. She didn't know whether it was her father or her.

There is also a reason to cripple her hand and end her career.

There are no answers to these things for the time being, and An Chuxia doesn't think about it anymore.

In the next few days, An Jinchen finally drove his carriage to the county seat before An Chuxia went to the countryside to take the exam, and exchanged a box full of copper coins for a hundred taels of silver notes.

The reason why it is really easy to exchange them into one hundred taels of silver notes is not simple. That is because the diligent An Jinchen can count them at home.

Soon after An Jinchen returned from the exchange, it was time for An Chuxia to set off for the provincial capital.

At this time, someone insisted that An Chuxia had injured her writing arm, and if not treated properly, it might affect her performance.

When a certain cold and honest gentleman met An Chuxia's bright peach blossom eyes, he put his hand to his lips and coughed, then unnaturally turned his head to the side, not to look at her.

An Chuxia said that the injury on her arm was not serious and it should be healed soon after applying medicine since it was not wet.

It was as if someone didn't understand. He didn't respond or refute, but he was walking away anyway.

An Chuxia still saw Mu Tan on the carriage.

An Chuxia was helpless, she couldn't say that she was fine and not let someone follow her.

If you really do that, you won't be able to distinguish between good and evil.

After all, her arm was really injured, and the wound didn't heal well because of the hot weather.

Although there was no inflammation, there was still some redness and swelling, which did affect her writing speed.

It would be good to have a famous doctor by your side at this time.

When Mutan left, she entrusted her horse to Runsheng to take care of her. Runsheng moved here during this period to look after the two families.

An Chuxia and the others came to the town to pick up Gu Fangmiao.

Because the two elderly people are older, it will take a long time to go to the provincial capital this time, and they are afraid that their bodies will not be able to bear the back and forth.

After the persuasion of An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao, Gu Tongsheng and Gu finally agreed to let them go to the provincial capital to take the exam by themselves, and they waited for their good news at home.
