Chapter 209: Blocking the official sedan to complain about injustice
"Why do you want to harm Xi Xi? It's no wonder you have to ask, it must be because you have lustful feelings towards Xi Xi." Shen Wenguang's face was filled with anger.
"But Xi Xi disappeared more than twenty days ago. Where has Ji Xun hidden her for so many days?"
"Maybe it's locked in a cave? It's so remote there that no one will notice."
Shen was silent. Although she felt strange, she couldn't afford to offend the Wang family. Besides, Ji Xun had been arrested, so what else could she say?
"People cannot be resurrected, so don't be so sad." Shen Wenguang comforted Ms. Shen while changing his clothes, "Attack Li said that the case will be heard tomorrow, and I have to find someone to write a pleading."
Mrs. Shen sighed feebly and was moving to the bed to lie down when she remembered something and quickly sat up.
"A man must be compensated for his life. Ji Xun's life must not only be compensated to Xixi, but his family's house and fields must also be compensated to us. Remember to write it in the complaint."
My daughter's life is gone, and I can't count on any money for the bride price. I can count on whatever I can get.
"I know." Shen Wenguang responded and went out carrying his baggage.
In the county seat, shopkeeper Bai tried his best but failed to get Shen Yuyu to meet Ji Xun. Hearing that the case would be tried in court tomorrow, Shen Yuyu was anxious and restless.
Shen Xi's autopsy file alone cannot clear Ji Xun's suspicion. After all, he can also make people pregnant and have an affair with Shen Xi. These crimes can be pinned on Ji Xun.
If you want to save Ji Xun, you must find the crime scene and find out the real culprit.
But how could she, a little country girl, have this power?
"Girl Shen, good news, good news." Shen Yuyu was frowning in the inn. Shopkeeper Bai hurried in, "I heard that the inspector of the Eight Prefectures is going to pass outside Wantian County today. You can stop the official sedan to complain. Try it.'
"Really?" There was hope in Shen Yuyu's eyes.
"Really, people outside are spreading the news, and many people with grievances are rushing over there."
"Then I'll go right away." Before Shen Yuyu finished speaking, he had already ran out of the inn.
The avenue where the Eight Prefectures patrol was about to pass was already crowded with people, many of whom came to watch the fun, but there were also ordinary people who wanted to stop the sedan chair and complain.
Shen Yuyu rolled his eyes and decided not to crowd with them and try to be the first to stop the official sedan.
After all, there are so many people blocking the sedan chair, and the patience of an official is also limited. If you can handle one or two, you are considered an upright official, and the others must be perfunctory.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuyu hurried forward to greet him. Not long after walking, he heard the sound of gongs and drums clearing the way. Soon he saw two rows of officers and soldiers guarding a carriage approaching with signs saying "Avoid, be quiet".
She hurriedly ran up. In order for Li Ye not to lose his only brother, she risked her life. She knelt down in the middle of the road and banged her head a few times.
"If a daughter of the people is wronged, please ask the Governor to redress the grievances of the daughter of the people."
The guards didn't come to arrest her either. She probably encountered this kind of situation frequently along the way. Of course, whether she would be granted permission or not would depend on the mood of the people in the sedan.
At this moment, the carriage actually stopped. It seemed that it was definitely a wise move for her to rush forward first.
"Submit the complaint." A lazy voice from Guanqiao sounded quite young.
Shen Yue:
She didn't write it, and she didn't have time to write it.
Is there any way to remedy this? Shen Yuyu has a lot of troubles in his head. He remembers that officials in ancient times were corrupt. Maybe he can bribe the other party to listen to his dictation?
Thinking of this, Shen Yuyu hurriedly pretended to take out the paper from her sleeve pocket, but in fact her hand had already touched Ji Xun's jade pendant. She originally planned to use this jade pendant to bribe the county magistrate when she was desperate, okay? , came in handy in advance.
"Sir, please take a look." Shen Yuyu directly stretched the jade pendant through the bridge curtain.
The official inside was obviously stunned for a moment, but luckily he took it over.
Shen Yuyu was overjoyed. The other party took the jade pendant from her and could only say one thing. The bribery worked. She knelt down in front of the sedan respectfully.
"Get up."
"Master Xie Qingtian." Shen Yuyu hurriedly patted the dirt on his knees and stood up.
"Who are you trying to plead grievance for?" The patrol manager's voice lost its previous laziness and became more serious.
"For my little daughter's husband.'
"Oh? Your husband-in-law?"
"Yes." Shen Yuyu saw that the other party seemed to be somewhat interested and said quickly. "The daughter-in-law's husband was unjustly accused of murder. The county magistrate hastily raised the case before the investigation was clear. The daughter-in-law hopes that the case can be thoroughly investigated."
"What is your husband's name?"
"Ji Xun."
The people in the sedan were silent for a moment, and then quickly called someone's name: "Zhang Neng." A tall guard with a knife stepped forward quickly: "My subordinate is here."
Inspector of the Eight Prefectures: "You should stay in Wantian County and help this girl investigate the case thoroughly."
"Yes, my lord.'
Shen Yuyu was ecstatic that the Inspector of the Eight Prefectures was willing to leave someone to help her investigate the case? Did she save the Milky Way in her previous life or did Ji Xun save the Milky Way in his previous life? In short, she was so lucky.
"Mr. Xie Qingtian, a folk girl." Shen Yuyu was so excited that she knelt down and kowtowed again, but Zhang Neng pulled her back and said, "Young lady, you don't have to do this great ceremony."
Shen Yuhu hurriedly stepped aside. People had already helped her redress her grievances. How could she stand in the way of Master Qingtian again?
"Girl, your jade pendant." The voice in the sedan became lazy again, and stretched out Shen Yuyu's jade pendant. Shen Yuyu noticed that the hand holding the jade pendant was slender and fair, and it was clearly that of a young man.
"This" Shen Yuyu was confused. Wasn't the reason why this high official helped her because this jade pendant was valuable?
He wasn't bribed? Then why should he help her?
No one could give her an answer. The person in the sedan shook the jade pendant: "Is this the girl's husband-in-law's thing? Keep it well."
"Yeah, I know." Shen Yuyu was very happy and hurriedly put away the jade pendant.
No one knows how poor she is. If she becomes too poor in the winter, she can use the jade pendant as a life-saving thing. Of course it would be best if he refuses to take it.
Uh-huh, honest official, give him a big thumbs up.
Soon, the official sedan patrolling the Eight Prefectures moved forward, and people stopped the sedan one after another in front, but Shen Yuyu didn't have the time to pay attention to this. What she was worried about now was whether Zhang Neng had the ability to let the county magistrate. Thoroughly investigate Ji Xun's case.
She was about to open her mouth to test Zhang Neng's tone, but Zhang Neng spoke first.
"What's your last name, girl?"
“My surname is Shen and my name is Yu Yu.’
"When did Miss Yu Yu marry Mr. Ji Xun?"
"That happened two or three months ago."
"Oh, where is Mr. Ji Xun now?'
"Should he be put on death row? I've asked people everywhere to see him, but nothing can be done. Is there any way Brother Zhang Neng can let me see him?'
"have.'
Shen Yue looked at Zhang Neng in surprise, seeing how he answered so calmly, as if the county magistrate wanted to listen to him. Shen Yue was puzzled, and walked towards the county seat while talking to Zhang Neng .
