Chapter 160: Fearless, Yamen confrontation
There was a knock outside the door.
The female soldier opened the door and found a man in black standing at the door and said to her: "Miss Qin has arrived at the government office. Should I invite her in or..."
"I'll invite her in."
After the woman said that, she quickly went out to pick up Qin Li.
After a while, the female general took Qin Li into the government office and went to the private room. She asked Qin Li to sit opposite Guo and said to them: "Madam Qin, Miss Qin, please wait for a moment, Lord Feng will come soon."
Qin Li nodded understandingly and said, "Thank you."
"It's my duty. Please don't be polite to Miss Qin." said the female soldier.
Qin Li looked at the direction where the gate of the government office was located and said to the female general:
"To be honest, before I came to the government office tonight, I had been to Molan Lane and picked up my Aunt Pang and Sister Xinyu. They were still in the carriage now, so I would like to invite them to come in and sit for a while, so that when Lord Feng arrived, he would get justice for us."
After hearing this, Guo's eyes flashed with joy. He thought to himself that Li'er could do things and brought the Pang and his daughters. At this moment, she didn't have to deliberately invite Pang and the others to come.
"Miss Qin sat and rested. I went to carry Pang Shi and brought Ms. Xinyu in."
After the female soldier said that, she stood up and quickly walked out of the private room.
When the female general left, there were only Guo, Qin Li, and Ziqin in the private room.
Guo looked at Qin Li in confusion and asked, "You have a good rest when you are not at home. You ran to the government office and brought Pang and the others. If Wei Niang wanted to bring you here, I am afraid that she would bring you here when she was still at home. If you don't wake you up, you just want you to rest for a while."
Li'er works as a female doctor in the pharmacy. She is the mother who knows how hard she lives every day. Guo added a cup of hot tea to Qin Li, handed it to her, and said:
"Drink some tea and wait a moment, and Lord Feng will come. I believe that Lord Feng will definitely uphold justice for us."
"That's certainly. Although I rarely had the chance to meet Lord Feng before this. But I also heard from Uncle Shi and the others that most of the people who can be officials in Qizhou Prefecture are quite powerful."
Qin Li smiled happily and said.
After hearing this, Guo pointed his hand in the direction where Fu's mansion was, and said with contempt:
"The old bastard named Fu has also been an official in Qizhou Prefecture before? But you don't know what kind of person he is. Awesome? Hahahaha."
Yes, Magistrate Fu had worked in Qizhou Prefecture before, but she had heard that when the locals heard that Magistrate Fu was going to be transferred to Jiayu Prefecture, they didn't care about the few carriages that Magistrate Fu hired, and they were still in Qizhou Prefecture, and they had already slaughtered sheep at home to celebrate.
When Magistrate Fu was an official in Qizhou Prefecture, his political achievements were definitely not very good, otherwise his term would not have expired, so the people above transferred him from there.
Qin Li also heard from her father that Mr. Feng Shang worked in Qizhou Prefecture most of the time during these years. Fu Yu's father also worked there before, so he must have met Feng Shang, the governor of Qizhou Prefecture.
The magistrate of Jiayu Prefecture was able to write a letter and ask Feng Shang to help him to determine the case. I believe that he trusted him very much. It can also be explained that in recent years, Fu Magistrate had not had much contact with Feng Shang in private.
Otherwise, I'm afraid Feng Shang wouldn't be allowed to judge them.
While Qin Li was thinking, Guo's question came to his ears:
"Li'er, I heard that Lord Feng's fourth brother, namely the deputy director of Jiayu Shibo, had some friendship with Prison Chu. However, when Lord Feng came back from Qizhou Prefecture this time, Prison Chu visited him, but Lord Feng did not meet Prison Chu."
"Mom, I have heard of this. Lord Feng is different from his fourth brother. He will not do anything to hurt others for any money."
Qin Li said this, paused for a few seconds, and said in a very soft voice:
"Isn't the new Master Tiju of our Jiayu Maritime Office the eldest son of the original Yuan Prefect, Lord Yuan? The one above sent Lord Yuan to investigate the corruption. Feng Mu and Priest Chu have been in a mess over the years, and I don't know how many things that have done to harm the heavens and the people behind their backs."
"But Master Feng is different. He has served in Qizhou Prefecture for many years, and we have never heard anyone say that he has done anything to harm others."
Guo quickly heard the implicit sound of his words and nodded.
If Li'er had already told her about this matter, she would definitely not have asked Li'er these questions today. Those people's affairs are not suitable for discussion at the yamen.
A slight sound of footsteps came.
Qin Li knew that it was the female soldier who carried Pangzi in, so she stood up quickly, hoping to go forward to help and take Pangzi away.
A man in black who was following the female soldier moved a bamboo chair and placed it behind the female soldier.
Soon, the female soldier put Ponzi on a bamboo chair, turned around and looked at Ponzi, and said:
"Mr. Feng has arrived, right in the hall of the government office. You have a cup of tea first, and then I will ask someone to carry you to the hall. You don't have to be afraid. Master Feng is from Jiayu Mansion and will consider the fellow villagers in Jiayu."
Pang Shi looked at Guo with anticipation and asked with his eyes:
Sister, as she said, wouldn’t Lord Feng treat us too fiercely?
Guo replied to Pang with his eyes: That's right, Lord Feng is different from Prison Chu, he is a real honest official. Otherwise, he could not be a magistrate in Qizhou Prefecture and had been a magistrate for so many years.
Qin Li saw Pang Shi and Guo Shi using eyes, and suddenly remembered that when he came to the government office, both Pang Shi and his daughter were afraid of the situation of Prefect Chu, and felt sad.
The land of Jiayu has been rich since ancient times. Only honest officials like the Yuan Dynasty prefect can be suitable for serving here. It is better to leave as soon as possible for dogs like the prefect Chu to avoid staying here and harming more innocent people.
Otherwise, I am afraid that in the days ahead, there will be more villagers, like Pangzi, who will be so scared that their legs will tremble when they hear the words "Pangzi".
Qin Li brought a cup of tea, walked up, and fed it to Pang Shi for some drink. Then he put the tea cup and said to the female soldier:
"Let's go there earlier."
It’s not easy to let Lord Feng wait for a long time.
The female soldiers were naturally begging for it, so they immediately asked someone to lift Pang Shi, let Qin Li and the others follow her and go to the hall.
As soon as he walked into the hall, Qin Li met Fu Yu, as well as the prefect Chu and Mrs. Chu. As soon as she saw them, she felt angry. If they hadn't been troublesome, who would have come to the yamen to complain in the middle of the night?
I was just wondering in my heart why they all came, but still didn’t see Chu Xinyan coming?
When she went to Pang Shi's house and picked them up, she heard Pang Shi say that Miss Chu did go to Fu's house to find Mr. Fu. Almost everyone who lives near them knew about this.
Since everyone knows it, Fu Yu still hid Chu Xinyan and didn't bring it over, what did he want to do? In order to figure out this, Qin Li was thinking in his heart. When Lord Feng asked her about it, how should he answer.
Feng Shang came today in an official uniform, sitting upright in front of the desk, full of righteousness. He naturally gave people a different feeling from the prefect named Chu.
When the prefect Chu was attracted by the situation, he knew that he would bully honest people. She was annoyed when she saw them.
But Feng Shang is different. Before asking, Feng Shang told them some of the things he learned about before he told them.
