Zhou Weiran met his old friend's son, and then met his old friend's widow.
As the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, he has a character that hates evil. Now that his old friend's wife has been bullied by evil people, he is even more indignant. He promised Aunt Cui, "Don't worry, brother and sister, I will definitely wash away your grievances and get your money back."
clean."
How can you not feel aggrieved when being treated as a wanted criminal and wanted all over the city?
Ye Zhenzhen was okay, her appearance was wrong, so she was not affected at all, but Aunt Cui was different, almost everyone in this city recognized her appearance.
For Aunt Cui, who came from an extraordinary background and abided by etiquette, it was a disaster.
Aunt Cui didn't expect that it was him who came, and her eyes turned red, "I have been in ruins for half my life, and my reputation has been ruined. Adding an unfounded crime is nothing, but I am afraid that it will ruin the rest of my child's life. Zhen'er is a good family.
My daughter, after marrying into my Cui family, she was hindered. Brother Zhen is still young, and people know that his wife and mother have a bad reputation. How will he gain a foothold in the officialdom in the future?"
He has something to do with him and will rarely be caught and criticized by his opponents. After all, it will be more difficult for Cui Weizhen to become an official in the future than others.
Zhou Weiran had also heard about what happened back then and knew that Wang had a reputation for being unfaithful. However, he did not know the inside story about this matter and could not help him. He understood that her character would not do anything to disgrace her old friend.
"Brothers and sisters are no less sentimental than each other. God's law is clear and retribution is not enough. Those evildoers will always get their retribution."
Aunt Cui was willing to believe in karma, and her expression softened slightly, "I made you laugh. Zhen'er, come and pay homage to Mr. Zhou. You don't have to be polite in the future, just like Brother Zhen, just call him Shi Bo."
Ye Zhenzhen was ridiculed by the Su family and her daughter for etiquette last time at the county government office. Although she didn't care about these common etiquette, she had to socialize in the future and she couldn't embarrass Brother Zhen. After she returned, she asked Aunt Cui to train her in etiquette.
Aunt Cui is the legitimate daughter of an aristocratic family. Apart from anything else, her etiquette must be better than anyone else's. Ye Zhenzhen has learned some of the essence of it. She is also elegant and calm when handling etiquette, and she is graceful. There is no trace of her background as a peasant girl.
Zhou Weiran nodded happily, "Brother Zhen and I are a talented and beautiful couple. They are indeed a match made in heaven. Brother and sister, you are very lucky."
Aunt Cui smiled broadly and said, "Yes, this child Zhen'er is very lucky."
Even though she didn't say it explicitly, Ye Zhenzhen still felt that Wang Xuezheng looked down on her status to some extent, but this Mr. Zhou was different. He completely respected the Cui family's choice and treated her with great courtesy, so she had a good feeling about this Zhou Shibo.
, I respect him a little more from the bottom of my heart.
Inside the house, old friends met and talked about their friendship, while Qin Yi, who was waiting outside, was suffering in every possible way.
He didn't know why Zhou Weiran came to this remote and ordinary house at first, but when the government officials interrogated Aunt Yu who was busy in the yard, all his doubts were solved.
It turns out that the wanted criminal he was looking for so hard has actually changed his face and is hiding here!
Qin Yi didn't even care to be angry. He used to be a poor scholar supported by Cui Shihuai and had no chance to contact Cui Shichang, who was famous in the capital. However, he also heard that he had a close relationship with the current Qin Shaoqing.
Now it seems that this friendship has not diminished because of Cui Shichang's death, but has deepened. He was unlucky to be hit by a gun.
After working hard to get to this position, Qin Yi didn't want to ruin his future, so he stuffed Aunt Yu with a piece of money, "Auntie, I am the local magistrate. I want to see Mr. Zhou. Please help inform me."
Aunt Yu was greatly stimulated today. Not only did the guest she invited back be a wanted criminal, but she also received a high-ranking official from Beijing. If these were not fantasy enough, the former high-ranking magistrate bribed her to help, which is the real big deal.
Stimulate.
She didn't come back to her senses for a while, so she took the money and went in to report the matter in a daze.
Zhou Weiran looked displeased, "Madam, go out and ask him what he thinks about the wanted order?"
After hearing the message, Qin Yi thought about it for a long time, then bowed to the main room in the yard, "I know what to do, so I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
He left with the government officials, and not long after, all the wanted posters plastered all over the city were torn down and replaced with apology statements.
After arranging all this, Qin Yi thought he had done a good enough job. He visited Zhou Weiran again, only to find that the ordinary residence was empty and only Aunt Yu was left.
"Qin Yi is stupid and vicious. He is the father and mother of the whole family and is really a source of suffering to the people."
On the carriage heading to Linxi County, Zhou Weiran put down his apology statement and warned, "Brother Zhen, if you become a parent in the future, you must not imitate him in abusing his power and being arrogant. Only by loving the people like your own children and benefiting the people can you be an official."
road."
"Don't worry, Shibo, Wei Zhen has never dared to forget my father's teachings."
Zhou Weiran was immediately relieved. He could trust his old friend's character, and the son he taught would definitely be no different.
"I didn't make it clear in the letter before. Brother Zhen, please tell me in detail. Li Xuandao and Su Yinghuai worked together to bully good women and commit life-threatening lawsuits. What exactly happened?"
"Yes, Shibo."
Cui Weizhen introduced the story and recounted the evidence one by one. Zhou Weiran listened with rapt attention, his expression changed several times, and finally his face turned red with anger.
"It doesn't make sense! It doesn't make sense!"
He shouted a few words before slowly calming down his anger. He patted Cui Weizhen on the shoulder and said, "My dear nephew, don't worry, Shibo will definitely seek justice for you and your niece-in-law!"
Cui Weizhen pursed his lips, and a sharp edge flashed in his black eyes.
The situation in this carriage was changing, and the fate of many people had been decided in just a few words. On another carriage, Ye Zhenzhen was reading an apology statement.
This statement is not very sincere.
In his statement, Qin Yi shied away from responsibility, saying that he was deceived and mistakenly regarded a good citizen as a key criminal. For this, he "felt extremely guilty and made a special statement to plead guilty."
Again, if an apology is useful, what should the police do?
As a magistrate, he abused his power and harmed the people for his own selfish reasons. With the help of noble people like Ye Zhenzhen, he could avenge his injustice. But what can the common people who have no power and power do about the injustice they suffered?
After all, Aunt Cui understood Zhou Weiran, and when she saw that Ye Zhenzhen looked wrong, she comforted her, "Zhen'er, don't worry, your uncle Zhou Shibo hates enemies so much that he can't get rid of the sand in his eyes. Not only will Li Xuandao and Su Yinghuai be punished this time, but even the prefect of Qin will have to suffer."
A lot of guilt."
Ye Zhenzhen then smiled, "These troublesome people and things should be settled as soon as possible. Let's bid farewell to the old and welcome the new during the Spring Festival, so we can wash away the bad luck."
Aunt Cui nodded repeatedly, "I will listen to you. Our family of three will be happy and healthy, without any illness or disaster, and I will be satisfied."
The convoy meanders, getting closer and closer to Linxi County, and the retribution of the evildoers is about to come.
