Longde County, government office.

Magistrate Zheng sat on the left, and in the center sat a man who looked 30% like Chen Si.

But the two people's eyes are different. Chen Xiu's eyes are deeper, and the tails of his eyes are long and narrow, giving people a feeling of being unfathomable.

[This must be Chen Si’s brother, Chen Xiu! I never thought I could see him alive! ]

Su Yun stole a glance at Chen Xiu.

In fact, Li didn't want Su Yun to come today, but she couldn't resist her crying and making a fuss, so she had to compromise.

Li pulled Su Yun behind her and said, "Be good, don't look around!"

Fortunately, Chen Xiu couldn't hear what Guaiguai was really thinking, otherwise he would have to punish him for being a traitor.

I don’t know if he is here to help his brother! Li was worried.

Chen Xiu, who was sitting in the hall, had a blank expression on his face, but he was very surprised in his heart.

Could that childish voice just now be the voice of the little girl? His expression made it hard to tell what he meant. When he spoke, the ending of his voice always rose unconsciously, and his voice was cold.

"Go to court!"

"Mighty~"

The yamen runners knocked the water and fire sticks regularly.

"Call the suspect to court!" Chen Xiu said coldly.

Two yamen runners brought Chen Si to the center and forced him to kneel down.

When Chen Si saw that it was his brother who was trying the case, he felt very aggrieved.

In the past two days, he has inexplicably appeared outside the prison and was discovered by the jailer every time he woke up.

When he woke up, he felt as if he had been beaten all over. Before he could react, he was whipped again by the jailer.

"Brother~" Chen Si's face was bruised and swollen, and he cried out miserably.

"Don't make any noise in this hall! I'm asking you questions and you answer them!" Chen Xiu said with a stern face.

His younger brother has been spoiled by his parents. If he is not taught a lesson today, it might lead to disaster in the future.

"Announce the suspect Su Xiyue!"

Su Xiyue was escorted by two yamen runners.

"Let me go, I can walk on my own!"

The bailiff forced the man to kneel down with Chen Si.

Su Xiyue didn't know what had happened. She originally ran a hot pot restaurant in the capital, but was found by yamen runners and taken back to Longde County without saying a word.

Yes, when she entered the county, she found that Longde Town had been changed to Longde County.

She had been gone for several months, but she didn't expect the changes to be so great.

County Magistrate Zhao was also replaced!

Su Xiyue stared at the three people from the Su family. She guessed that it must be these two old guys who were behind this and asked the yamen runners to arrest her!

The Su family is born to be her nemesis!

[Yo, you have to kneel down even if you don’t accept it! ]

[Look at that expression, it's like he ate shit! ]

Su Yun refused to show weakness, she glared back at Su Xiyue.

County Magistrate Zheng suppressed the smile on his face.

He is a professional and cannot laugh.

Chen Xiu was puzzled. What is Xiang? He didn't have time to think about it and slammed the gavel heavily.

"Su Xiyue, Chen Si said that he kidnapped the two children of the Su family for you! Is this true?"

"Brother, it has nothing to do with Xiyue! I did it all by myself! How can you ask Xiyue like that? Didn't I tell you everything? I turned love into hate and wanted to threaten Xiyue!" Chen Siben was still looking at Su Xiyue lovingly, but when he heard his elder brother asking like that, he became anxious.

Chen Xiu slammed the table, "Shut up, did I ask you a question?"

"Someone, shut up Chen Si."

The runner on duty today happened to be the jailer's son. He had heard his father complain all day long and already had a grudge against Chen Si.

He simply took off his socks and stuffed them into Chen Si's mouth.

Chen Si's eyes were filled with fear and his stomach turned nauseous.

He could only look to Chen Xiu for help.

[In the end, it’s better to let Chen Si suffer a little! Master Xiu was so kind, but his fame was ruined by his own brother. This is not the worst. Chen Si offended Nan Yuechu because of Su Xiyue! The whole Chen family was executed! ]

[It seems that Nan Yuechu went to the eldest prince's mansion to eavesdrop, and deliberately dropped Chen Si's personal black jade. This strategy killed two birds with one stone, and let the eldest prince start with the Chen family! ]

[According to the time, in another month Su Xiyue will buy Nan Yuechu back from the slave farm...]

[But to be honest, Nan Yuechu and Su Xiyue are a perfect match. Neither of them is a good match. Lock them in! ]

[How pitiful for my Master Xiu! He was truly devoted to the people and was never anyone's ally! I didn't expect that he would die so miserably in the end! Being torn apart by five horses, it hurts just thinking about it...]

Su Yun looked sympathetic.

Chen Xiu also believed it halfway, otherwise how could a little kid know the name of the emperor of Nanyue Kingdom.

How did you know that what I was carrying was black jade...

As long as he investigates the slaves that Su Xiyue bought in a month, everything will be clear! Chen Xiu was angry, and his voice was like ice chips.

"Su Xiyue, what I just asked, is it yes or no?"

"What does Chen Si's arrest of the two children from the Su family have to do with me? How can you arrest people at will without even finding out the reason? I was just complaining that my brother attached too much importance to the children from my uncle's family. Who knew that Chen Si would do this!" Su Xiyue understood, and she smiled sarcastically.

At first she didn't recognize Chen Si, it turned out to be that guy.

He stole the child but didn't kill him. What a waste! Su Xiyue felt disgusted.

There was sadness in Chen Si's eyes. Although he didn't want Xiyue to have anything to do with this matter, he still felt very uncomfortable when he heard these words distancing himself from the matter.

Chen Xiu sighed silently. His silly brother was being used as a knife.

Today, let me recognize Su Xiyue! "Chen Si, is everything Su Xiyue said true?"

The socks in his mouth were taken out. Chen Si said nothing, but looked at Su Xiyue.

But Su Xiyue turned her head away in disgust, her face full of disgust.

Chen Si laughed until tears came out, "Every word is true!"

"Come here, take Chen Si away and give him fifty lashes?" Chen Xiu ordered.

[Master Xiu is still so fair! It's a pity that Su Xiyue is too cunning, so she couldn't be beaten with a stick. This is the only way to deal with it. After all, Su Xiyue didn't instruct, she just complained from the side! This can't convict her! ]

Chen Si finally asked loudly, "Xiyue, have you ever considered me as a close friend?"

After not getting an answer for a long time, Chen Si understood everything.

It turns out that they are not even friends! How did he fall in love with Su Xiyue?

Thinking about it now, it’s really ridiculous that he would inexplicably have feelings for an eleven-year-old girl.

Chen Si's eyes regained clarity and he was dragged away with a smile on his face.

Su Xiyue got the advantage and still acts like a good kid.

"What if your Excellency has brought me to this court for no reason?"

"Heh~ According to the laws of the Qin Empire, when the government investigates a case, the people should cooperate! What do you think?"

Chen Xiu sneered. Seeing Su Xiyue remained silent, he spoke again.

"Someone, send him back to Beijing!"

Su Xiyue was taken away with a gloomy look in her eyes.

It seemed as if he wanted to take note of Chen Xiu.

If she had power in the court, she would never do this!

Su Xiyue's ambitions grew wildly...

Chen Xiu took off his official hat and bowed to the Su family.

Su Huaiyi helped the man up and said, "Sir, this is absolutely not allowed!"

"I am only Chen Xiu, Chen Si's brother now. I apologize on behalf of my good-for-nothing brother!"

Chen Xiu took out a hundred taels of silver and insisted that Su Huaiyi accept it.

"This is money for the baby to calm him down."

[Master Xiu, please help me. I will remind you later that a man who is so upright and dedicated to the people should not let his soon-to-be-married wife be cuckolded.]

Su Yun's eyes were full of pity.
