The jailer said, "His name is Su Bi. Yesterday on the street, a housekeeper from a wealthy family flirted with a performing artist.
This man broke the butler's ribs with one punch. He was arrested and has some martial arts skills."
The master nodded: "So it was him."
He heard about this incident yesterday. The reason why it caught his attention was that the housekeeper was a servant of Zhou Changzhou, the largest jeweler in Yi County.
Zhou Changzhou came to see the county magistrate in person and presented him with a generous gift. However, the county magistrate was too busy with Mr. Zhang's land sale to take care of this.
After figuring out that there was a violent man with martial arts skills in the prison, the master understood that no prisoner in the cell would dare to touch Qin Nian.
"Damn it, look at that damn guy, his eyes are brighter than the stars, can he be a good person?
When the county magistrate is free, I will brand him in the face with an iron. What's the point of a man looking like this, to confuse everyone?
Damn it, why don’t I look like this? What are you looking at? You don’t look like this, otherwise why would you be a jailer?"
After cursing, he pushed the jailer and said, "Go, change Qin Nian's cell, or a male prisoner cell.
That girl seems to be quite capable. If she is put in the women's cell, she might become a bully in the cell."
"yes."
The jailer agreed and was about to leave when he heard someone running towards him. It was another jailer.
"Master, something terrible has happened."
The master stepped forward and kicked him: "Damn it, if you have something to say, just say it. Why are you so flustered? What's the big deal?"
"King Xuan came with an angry look on his face, and asked for Qin Nian by name, saying that Qin Nian was his friend. The county magistrate was so scared that he almost pissed himself.
Tell the little ones to hurry up and pass the order, hurry up and take that girl out, no no, not take her out, but ask her to, please, please leave."
"Ah? A country girl is actually friends with King Xuan, and she is so powerful?
Ouch, it's broken, it's broken, it's broken."
He investigated Qin Nian, but couldn't find out that she knew King Xuan. The county magistrate must have twisted his head off afterwards.
The master was almost frightened. His legs were shaking, his voice was trembling, and he ordered the jailer: "Hurry up, open the cell door."
The jailer was infected by the master's nervousness and stood at the door of the cell, taking several tries to choose the right key.
The master bent down before speaking: "Miss Qin, Miss Qin, please come out."
"Please come out?"
The man next to Qin Nian smiled and said, "Someone must have come to save you, otherwise this thing wouldn't use the word 'please'."
Qin Nian said: "Take care of yourself."
After saying that, he stood up.
The man said sarcastically, "I'm fine. They can't do anything to me."
Qin Nian came out of the prison, and the master led the way in front. He walked a few steps and looked back at Qin Nian: "Miss Qin, I hope you will forgive me for any offense.
It was that old man Zhang who started the plot and misunderstood the girl. I will come to apologize in person one day."
Qin Nian scolded coldly: "If you dare to come to my house, I will break your dog legs."
A group of people came to the court.
The lawyer was stunned. He originally thought that it should be the reception room in the back hall of the county government office, so why was King Xuan being entertained in the court?
Taking a quick glance, I saw King Xuan sitting on a chair with his guards standing behind him.
The county magistrate stood nearby, his brow sweating profusely, and he kept wiping it with his sleeves.
The master didn't dare to ask more questions. He kowtowed to the gloomy King Xuan and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Mo Xuan didn't even look at the person kneeling on the ground. His eyes fell on Qin Nian and he said softly, "Miss Qin, I'm sorry for making you suffer."
Qin Nian shook his head: "Why is the prince here?"
"If I hadn't come, you would have been beaten to death by this dog official."
It has been more than two months since King Xuan left the capital to provide disaster relief. It has rained in Yizhou, but it is no longer the right time to plant crops, and relief grain still has to be distributed on a monthly basis.
He went to the provincial capital a few days ago and came back yesterday at midnight. He heard from his subordinates that Miss Qin had been thrown into jail by the county magistrate.
Mo Xuan was startled.
He knew everything about Qin Nian buying land, building greenhouses, raising chickens, and growing strawberries. He had even eaten strawberries.
He smiled and praised the strawberries for being sweet, and also praised Qin Nian for being capable.
How come Qin Nian was thrown into jail just a few days after he was released?
Early in the morning, Mo Xuan hurried to the county government office. He did not go to the reception room in the back hall, so as not to give people the impression that he was corrupt and partial.
First, speak in court.
King Xuan said, "Miss Qin, tell me what happened."
Qin Nian briefly recounted what happened. King Xuan ordered someone to bring Zhang Heng.
After a night, Zhang Heng's buttocks were swollen like a mound and his legs were as thick as a century-old tree.
His face was swollen and his nose was almost buried. He was really beaten badly.
Mo Yue said, "Zhang Heng, this is Prince Xuan.
Tell the whole story, don't lie, and don't be afraid of anyone."
Zhang Heng knelt down in front of King Xuan with a plop, snot and tears streaming down his face: "Your Majesty, please make the decision for me——"
He recounted the whole story and also told how the county magistrate and his legal advisor had forced him.
“Your Majesty, I didn’t want to harm Miss Qin at all. I was beaten so hard that I had no choice but to do as they told me.
Please, Your Majesty, make the decision for me."
The county magistrate was so frightened that his whole body shook like a sieve. The lawyer also knelt beside the county magistrate and kowtowed to him:
"I was deceived by Mr. Zhang and committed the crime of negligence."
"Come here, lock up the county magistrate and the legal advisor, and put them in jail to await their fate.
Go and arrest Mr. Zhang as well, and put him in jail to await sentencing.
Zhang Heng gave false testimony and should have been punished, but considering that he was only beaten with a stick, he was given a lighter sentence and released without charge.
Qin Nian was acquitted. "
Zhang Heng kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for upholding justice."
"Qin Nian thanks the prince."
Xuan Wang's eyes were as gentle as the moonlight: "You haven't slept all night, have you? Your family is worried about you, go back quickly.
I really want to thank the king for personally sending me some strawberries, and I have never eaten them once."
Qin Nian smiled: "Well, I will definitely send a basket to the prince."
After saying this, he turned and walked out of the county government office.
I saw all the family members waiting outside the county government office, looking inside eagerly.
"Xiao Nian."
Mrs. Li walked quickly forward, hugged Qin Nian and started crying.
Ye Meizi, Geng Feng, and Geng Zhenhai all came over. They followed Qin Nian since he was captured.
Only Geng Tian and Geng Di were left to look after their strawberry garden.
One of them was outside the county government office and did not leave all night last night.
Geng Feng's eyes were red: "Xiao Nian, you have suffered."
"It's okay. I'm out now. Come on, let's go home. I'm hungry."
Ye Meizi and Li Pozi wiped their eyes and said in unison: "Let's go home and make something delicious."
During the meal, Geng Zhenhai asked, "Xiao Nian, has the county magistrate understood everything? Will he trouble us again in the future?"
Qin Nian shook his head: "It was not the county magistrate who tried the case, but the Xuan Wang. If the Xuan Wang hadn't gone, I probably wouldn't have been able to get out."
