Husband-in-Law: Reborn Peasant Girl Busy Farming

Chapter 141 The county magistrate wakes up

Seeing that he was not afraid of being scalded by boiling water, Tang Luoyu was not worried. She turned to look at Ke Ran and winked at him.

Ke Ran understood immediately, found a porcelain bottle from the medicine box, poured out a pill and stuffed it into Taoist Hongyang's mouth.

"You, what did you feed me!" The man looked at Tang Luoyu fiercely, "How dare you torture me in private!"

"Why should I not dare to tie up my sister-in-law?" Tang Luoyu snorted coldly, "You said you didn't tell me, but if you don't tell me, don't blame me for being rude!"

Ke Ran said leisurely at this time: "This is the poison secretly prepared by my master. Don't worry, your life is not in danger, but it will make you unforgettable in your life."

Taoist Hongyang saw the pattern on Ke Ran's medical box and knew his identity, so he looked a little unhappy.

While the two sides were in a stalemate, they heard a somewhat hoarse groan.

"It's the county magistrate who's woken up." Xue Lince was close and stepped forward to help the county magistrate who was lying on the folded table. "How do you feel?"

"I, where am I?" The county magistrate felt a headache and pressed his temple with his hand, "Who are you?"

Xue Lince took out his name card from his pocket and showed it to him, and explained to him the identities of the others. After all, he was the only one at the scene who could be considered an official.

Juzi can be regarded as half-stepping into the officialdom. Even if he does not take the Jinshi examination, he can still wait for the appointment.

The county magistrate himself was also a Juren, so when he saw such a young Juren, he was naturally very polite: "It turns out to be Xue Juren, what are you..."

Several others stood aside and said nothing, just waiting for Xue Lince to explain the situation.

"I was going to Beijing in the spring of next year, but when I passed through the county, I actually saw a cult at work. They even kidnapped my cousin, so I investigated and they arrested her." Xue Lince simply said.

After all, they don't have the power to arrest people, so it's hard to say if they really pursue the case.

"So that's it..." The county magistrate didn't remember it at all, but his memory was a little fuzzy. Now that he heard what Xue Lince said, he vaguely remembered something, "Thank you all the martyrs, this matter will have to be tried again."

"I think there are a lot of dirty things in the county, and this matter needs to be dealt with quickly," the county magistrate's face was full of worry. As his consciousness returned, he also clearly realized the horror of this matter, "Everyone

If nothing goes wrong, please come with me to the county government. I have to quickly ask the officers to inform the county that these things are the work of a cult."

Tang Luoyu and the others naturally agreed. After all, Zhou Wanwan has not been found yet, and they really cannot leave now.

Soon, a few people arrived at the county house. Pedestrians along the way saw that they were escorting several Hongyang Taoists. They were curious and at the same time very afraid. After all, Taoist priests and monks had been invited to deal with it before, but the result was well known.

.

Although the few young people following the county magistrate have also captured the Hongyang Taoists, they don't have much hope. Who knows how much they are capable of?

When they returned to the county government office, Ke Ran had already taken people to the back hall to cook medicine in a big pot.

The smell of medicine enveloped the entire county government, and the officers also regained their consciousness. After that, the county magistrate ordered people to go down and tell the people in the county that Hongyang Dao was a cult and that they would hold a public trial for their affairs.

The county magistrate originally wanted to rehear it the next day. After all, if the notice is kept, some people will still not believe it. If everyone can come to see the public trial, their doubts will naturally be overcome.

However, Tang Luoyu and others were a little worried about Zhou Wanwan's comfort. However, under their strong request, the county magistrate could only make an exception and start the trial directly.

In the tea house opposite the county government office, there was a middle-aged man with a white face and a beard sitting there. He looked very kind and was eating snacks.

"Sir..." A man came in from outside and gave him a fist. But after seeing his scrutinizing eyes, he immediately changed his words, "Master."

"What's the matter?" The man was obviously very satisfied with this title. He nodded with a smile and said to the person opposite, "You also sit down."

Naturally, the person opposite didn't dare to sit down: "I don't dare, it's because of Hongyang Dao..."

"Hongyang Road? What's the matter?" The middle-aged man smiled slightly and tilted his chin towards the county government office, "Isn't this already being dealt with?"

The middle-aged man spoke again: "Su He, don't be so nervous. This matter is over. Let's go back to Beijing someday."

The man named Su He crossed his fists again and said, "Yes."

"You're too nervous." The middle-aged man looked at the people standing in the county office, and the corners of his mouth turned up a little, "What do you think of Xue Juren?"

"He is very calm." After Su He finished speaking, he frowned as if he was thinking, "His wife is not simple."

"Yes, how can it be easy to do business with the Wang family without falling behind?" The middle-aged man took another bite of the snack, slightly squinting his eyes as if he was enjoying it, "This snack tastes really good, why don't you try it?

?”

Su He shook his head imperceptibly and did not speak again.

Within the county government office.

The county magistrate had already changed into his official uniform and was sitting in the county office. Looking at the three Hongyang Taoists kneeling in a row below him, he couldn't help but frown.

"Tell me! What's going on with you!" Thinking of the tragic death of the county magistrate, he felt a burst of anger in his heart and slapped the gavel hard.

However, Taoist Hongyang seemed to have given up his mind and did not speak.

"Don't tell me, right?" The county magistrate reached for the lottery box and took out two red-tipped lottery tickets for the first time and threw them on the ground, "Someone, give me a lottery ticket!"

The government officials on one side had long disliked them, so they all rolled up their sleeves and came over with water and fire sticks. They kicked the three of them to the ground and started to beat them.

The black-headed lottery drew one stick, and the red-headed lottery drew five sticks. The county magistrate threw two sticks, which equaled twenty sticks.

The government officials were also very resentful of these demons. Naturally, no one asked the county magistrate whether the twenty sticks were divided equally among three people. They all gave them twenty sticks to each person.

If one exerts enough strength, these twenty sticks can beat a person to death. However, the county magistrate still has something to ask. The government officials hit them on the fleshy part of their back mounds. If it hurts, it will not hurt their lives.

.

After a few strokes, the man named Cao who was first captured by Tang Luoyu and others could no longer endure the torture and begged for mercy again and again.

The county magistrate saw that he was about to speak, so he stopped the cane punishment: "Are you going to attack or not?"

The man kowtowed repeatedly, and the Taoists on both sides looked at him angrily.

"Recruit all the villains, recruit all the villains!" The Taoist had been starved for a long time, and now he was being scolded with a stick. Naturally, he couldn't bear it. "The mastermind of this matter is not me, but the innkeeper!"

"What shopkeeper?" The county magistrate frowned in confusion, looking at the kneeling Taoist Hongyang below and asked, "Hurry up, or we will continue to fight!"
