Volume 1, Chapter 53: Men dominate women, I watch the drama unfold.
Meanwhile, in another room.
The lawyer ran in hurriedly.
"My Lord, something bad has happened..."
The 70-year-old county magistrate put down the gold bars in his hand, with a hint of displeasure on his thin face.
"What are you so flustered about?"
The lawyer took two steps at a time and came to the side of the county magistrate, whispering in his ear.
The county magistrate's expression changed from displeasure at first, to solemnity, and finally to shock.
"real?"
"It is absolutely true, sir. I saw it clearly. Those two guards are at least in the Qidong realm, no, they are strong in the Lihe realm."
The county magistrate stood up, touched his chin with a serious expression, and paced back and forth several times.
"Come on, take me there......"
"Yes, sir."
At this time, Ye Tingmu and his sisters had already started eating. Looking at the table full of delicious food, they burst out with unprecedented fighting power.
His appetite is almost as great as Qingfeng's.
I've been really hungry these days.
Ye Tingmu could feel the taste of wild vegetables in his mouth.
Qingfeng ate a chicken leg and said, "Hmm, this county is pretty good. There are so many delicious foods."
Ye Tingmu was speechless for a while, but his eyes were looking out the window intentionally or unintentionally.
Outside the window, the county magistrate looked at the people who were eating voraciously with a confused look on his face.
"Are you sure this is really the eldest daughter of the Dongfang family?"
The master nodded, then shook his head, and then nodded again.
But he was thinking in his heart, you ask me, who should I ask? He was indeed very sure just now, but now seeing the way these people were eating, he began to back down again.
"Is it or isn't it?"
The master said with a bitter face: "Sir, no matter whether it is true or not, we can't afford to offend him. After all, he is a master."
The county magistrate stroked his mustache and nodded. It was indeed true. It would be more important to send him away quickly.
"Okay, go in."
Naturally, Ye Tingmu heard the conversation between the two, and he couldn't help but find it funny.
It seems that this county magistrate is quite timid.
After a while, the door creaked open.
Then the county magistrate and the legal advisor came in.
The voice came before the person stepped into the threshold.
"I didn't know Miss Dongfang was coming. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. Please forgive me."
Looking at the old county magistrate with a smile on his face.
The eastern bamboo has clusters of eyebrows.
"Humph, the county magistrate of Jinzhou is so arrogant. He made me wait for so long."
"It's my fault, my fault. I'm really busy with official duties."
"Forget it, I don't blame you." Then he continued to eat the meat on the table.
After spending a long time with these people, her eating habits also changed.
She certainly doesn't look like a lady from a noble family.
The county magistrate continued, "I wonder why you came here, Miss Dongfang? Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Well... How about this, you prepare a carriage for me, 1,000 taels of silver, and some clean clothes..."
"Uh..." The county magistrate was stunned. He asked for one thousand taels, which was not a small amount.
Seeing that the county magistrate didn't say anything, Dongfang Qingzhu glanced at him.
"Don't worry, it's not for nothing. When I get back, I'll ask my family to send it to you, and I'll also ask my father to give you a promotion."
She said this casually and lightly.
The county magistrate was stunned after hearing this. It seemed to be true, but one thousand taels was indeed a bit too much. He felt a little reluctant to give it to him.
He was embarrassed for a moment and stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.
Ye Tingmu said, "Why are you still standing there? Didn't you hear what my young lady said? Go and get ready."
His voice was infused with inner strength, and when it reached the county magistrate's ears, sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.
The county magistrate wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. His intuition told him that the young man in front of him was no ordinary person.
"I'll do it right away, I'll do it right away."
After saying that, he walked out.
"etc."
"Your Excellency, give your orders."
"My cow is hungry too. Feed it some corn. And that big black charcoal. Beat it up and then let it go. Don't let anyone get killed."
The county magistrate was stunned. What cow, what charcoal.
The lawyer next to him quickly responded.
"Yes, yes, I'll do it right away."
After saying that, he pulled the county magistrate out.
Dongfang Qingzhu gave him a thumbs up.
"Not bad, he has the aura of a big shot."
Ye Tingmu raised his eyebrows.
"Of course."
After a while, Ye Tingmu finished eating first.
"You guys eat first, I'll go check on Dahei."
Then he walked out.
As I approached the door, I heard the sound of drums.
He didn't care too much and walked towards the big black bull.
After a while, the door of the yamen opened wide.
A mighty voice arose.
Ye Tingmu was a little curious. He had only seen such scenes on TV in his previous life.
Driven by curiosity, he headed towards the yamen.
The two gatekeepers bowed quickly when they saw him.
"Sir, you are here."
Ye Tingmu poked his head in and asked, "What happened? Why is it so lively?"
"Someone has complained about his grievances, and the county magistrate is investigating the case."
"Oh, that's interesting. I'll go take a look too."
"Please come in, sir."
At this time, the outside of the yamen was surrounded by people who were watching the show.
Ye Tingmu pushed through the crowd,
"Come on, make way, make way." He also joined in.
At this moment, in the hall, the county magistrate was sitting upright on a high seat.
Hanging above: A bright mirror hangs high, with four large gold-plated characters.
The lawyer dusted the table and spread the paper roll flat.
Holding a pen in one hand and waving a fan in the other.
There were more than ten constables on both sides, holding killing sticks, standing straight.
You know what, it really does look like that.
In the hall, a man and a woman stood in the center.
The woman was kneeling on the ground, her plain shirt spread out on the floor, her long black hair loose, and a white mourning band tied around her head.
The man was holding an iron fan, wearing a tight-fitting suit, with his hair tied up and hanging on his head, and a colorful jade pendant around his waist. He looked like a young man from a wealthy family.
The two people's states are also completely different.
The woman can be seen covering her face from time to time, and faint sobbing sounds can be heard.
The man, on the other hand, looked fearless and arrogant. He did not show any fear at all, but instead seemed to be somewhat contented.
This scene made Ye Tingmu imagine that it should be a drama of a man dominating a woman, and he couldn't help but become interested.
"Brother, what's going on?" He gossiped to the old man beside him.
The old man asked, "Sir, you are not a local?"
"How do you know?"
The old man chuckled and said, "If he were a local, how could he not recognize the young master of the Li family?"
"Oh... is this person famous?"
"Li Hun, the eldest son of Li Qi, the richest man in Jinzhou, is as bad as his name suggests. He is a scoundrel and a pest to our city. He commits rape, robbery, and other evil things. This time, he probably fell in love with this girl and did something unscrupulous."
After listening to this, Ye Tingmu became even more interested. When he watched costume dramas in his previous life, such plots were basically all over the place.
"The government doesn't care?"
"Young man, you don't know that in Jinzhou, the county magistrate will help whoever has money. Just watch, this girl is doomed."
At this time, an auntie on the side also interrupted.
"That's right. Last time, Li Hun took a fancy to the girl from the Zhou family and proposed marriage. The Zhou family disagreed, and Li Hun's men beat the girl's parents to death. Even her brother was thrown into a well, and in the end, nothing happened. Not only was the young girl abused, but in the end, she couldn't bear it and committed suicide by jumping into the river. A whole family was well-off, but not a single one was left alive. Don't you think this is a sin?"
Ye Tingmu was secretly shocked. It was true that in troubled times, human lives were worthless. This man looked like a decent human being, but he was actually a complete scumbag.
Just at this moment, the gavel in the county magistrate's hand fell.
With a "pop..." sound.
"Open the hall!"
"mighty.........."
