The county magistrate's wife was dressed very dignifiedly, but she had a strange charm about her. She had cloudy temples and a beautiful nose, and seemed to have a flawless face. She looked like she was in her thirties, which is the best age for a woman.
The county magistrate's wife is similar to the young lady in Zuiyunfang. She is of beautiful color and likes red clothes, so she is also called the red lady.
The charm of a red lady comes from the very core, and such a woman can eat up most of the men in the world.
The red lady just naturally sat down next to the county magistrate and tried the case with him, but the officials in the county government seemed to be used to it.
"Four hundred thousand taels of silver is not what Hancheng's black market can afford. Hancheng is too small, and if there is a black market, it won't be much bigger." In the hiding place, Cao Wen pondered the words of the red lady, and finally shook his head.
Moreover, there were people from the Prefectural Mufu Office in the black markets in each city. Cao Wen did not get any information from the informants in Hancheng's black market that a large amount of money was coming in and out.
"If you want to incriminate yourself, why bother?" Chen Qingshan snorted coldly and met the red lady's gaze.
"Be brave and don't make noise in the court!" The county magistrate on the case was stunned and stretched his neck.
"What my wife said is not unreasonable." A cold light flashed in the white-faced county magistrate's eyes, obviously he was determined to make this case a solid case.
"The whole city knows that you spent 30,000 taels in Zuiyunfang, but you refused to tell the origin of the money. A small first-level monk has such a huge sum of money, and he said that the banknote was stolen.
Has nothing to do with the case?"
"Chen Qingshan, are you going to attack me or not?" The alarm sounded again, and the pawns from the county government surrounded him, obviously preparing to torture him.
On the horizon, clouds cover the moon, and the four words "honest and upright" on the plaque in front of the hall dim. Since ancient times, people have not fought with officials, because officials can cover the sky with one hand.
With the appearance of the red lady, the white-faced county magistrate also showed his fangs. He only needed someone to blame, and it didn't matter whether that person was innocent or not.
And the appearance of Chen Qingshan can allow the county magistrate to silence the crowd, which is enough.
"It's great to be an official." Chen Qingshan sighed.
Just when Cao Wen, who was hiding on one side, was debating whether to show up or not, Chen Qingshan threw out a jade token.
The people do not fight with the officials, but if the people want to fight with the officials, the best way is to move out bigger officials.
This jade plaque was the thirteenth prince's token when he left Jishui Town.
The Thirteenth Prince said that when he arrives in Chang'an, this jade medal can help Chen Qingshan avoid unnecessary troubles.
Now that Chen Qingshan has not arrived in Chang'an, this trouble has come to his door, but this jade token is still useful.
"This jade token is a token that I can't beat the Thirteenth Prince of Chao. I'm going to meet the Holy Emperor. Didn't you ask me where the money came from? I said it was given by the Thirteenth Prince."
"If you don't believe it, go ask the Thirteenth Prince, or come with me to meet His Majesty the Holy Emperor?" Chen Qingshan threw the jade token away, flew towards the county magistrate on the case, and sneered loudly.
Chen Qingshan's words are half true and half false. It is true that the jade token was given to him by the Thirteenth Prince, and it is also true that he is going to meet His Majesty the Holy Emperor. The key lies in the fact that he is bullying others. The Hancheng County Magistrate did not dare to ask the Thirteenth Prince, let alone
I dare not ask His Majesty the Holy Emperor.
If the Hancheng County Magistrate brought the bank repair case to the Holy Emperor, not to mention whether His Majesty the Holy Emperor would punish him, even the Quzhou Prefect would have to kill the Hancheng County Magistrate.
So what Chen Qingshan said must be true.
On the front of the jade medal is a unicorn, and on the back is a half-covered bamboo slip. The unicorn represents the identity of the prince, and the half-covered bamboo slip represents the prince's mother's family.
The two together make the current Thirteenth Highness.
Seeing the jade plaque of the Thirteenth Prince, the Hancheng County Magistrate suddenly became depressed.
Sun Yao, who was watching the show, suddenly turned green. This was frightening. How could he have thought that Chen Qingshan could be related to the Thirteenth Prince and even the Holy Emperor? This Tang Dynasty's surname was Li after all.
When things have developed to this point, the case can no longer be tried. Sun Jing, the arrester, looked at Chen Qingshan and his party and felt his head was heavy.
He remembered Chen Qingshan's words: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, it's easy to arrest people but hard to release them."
Even Anan was a little surprised. When did the guy next to him get involved with the Thirteenth Prince and the Holy Emperor, and then he felt at ease.
Anan understood that everything was under Chen Qingshan's control.
The white-faced magistrate stood up from the case and trotted over.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it turns out we are all our own people." Hahahaha, he presented the jade card with both hands, completely different from his previous attitude.
In the hiding place, Cao Wen snorted coldly: "What a disgrace to our Confucian cultivators." Then he walked away with a puff of his sleeves.
As for the county magistrate's wife, the red lady's eyes also became flattering, and she looked over with watery eyes.
Then Ah Nan stared back mercilessly, and his expression became a little embarrassed.
"Misunderstanding. Your Majesty's attitude just now does not seem to be a misunderstanding. If this boy had not been under the care of His Highness Thirteenth Prince, I would have become an unjust ghost in prison." Chen Qingshan's voice was very soft.
"Let's see. I take the ten thousand taels of silver as an apology to Mr. Chen. I was the one who was rude. I hope Mr. Chen won't be surprised!" The county magistrate's name for Chen Qingshan changed.
Chen Qingshan was unmoved and said: "The county magistrate knows that I am not short of money."
Upon hearing this, the county magistrate's expression changed rapidly, as if he was thinking about how to get rid of Chen Qingshan, the giant Buddha.
At this time, the red lady came forward holding a stone in both hands.
"Mr. Chen should be a sword cultivator. I have a sword stone from the Sword Pavilion that can help Mr. Chen condense his sword energy."
Chen Qingshan looked at the sword stone, and indeed felt a trace of sword energy on it, thinking it was what he needed.
So he nodded and accepted it: "That's easy to say."
The county magistrate and the matchmaker were both delighted.
Chen Qingshan accepted the sword stone and turned his attention to the two people from the Sun family: "I heard that your family is the richest man in Hancheng."
Hearing this, Sun Yao and Sun Jing knew that they were going to bleed heavily this time.
Later, after the Sun family promised items worth nearly twice the value of the county magistrate and his wife, Chen Qingshan left with satisfaction.
The Sun family members hurried home to collect things, while Chen Qingshan and others, accompanied by the county magistrate and the matchmaker, left the county government office.
The white-faced county magistrate stood outside the door and wiped his sweat.
"Finally sent away this god of plague, what's this?" The red lady comforted her in a low voice.
The gate of the county government office slowly closed.
Shortly after Chen Qingshan and others left the county government office, they had no time to rejoice and something unexpected happened again. They saw a big hand reaching out from the south of the city and directly snatched Xihan away.
The one who took action was a martial artist, a martial artist who was at least in the sixth realm.
Chen Qingshan and others looked over and saw that the south of the city was in the direction of the overpass and the water dike, and the person who captured Xihan was on the water dike.
Because it snowed and the road was difficult to walk, Chen Qingshan and others spent some effort to get up the culvert embankment.
There are white willows on the embankment, in front of it is the water flowing backward from the drinking canal, and above the head is the footbridge that seems to have existed since ancient times.
Soon, Chen Qingshan and the others saw the person who had kidnapped Xihan. He was an old fisherman. There was a small red clay stove next to him, with tea simmering on it.
With a coir raincoat and a bamboo pole, I fish alone in the snow in the cold river.
