52. Trial of fake marriage cases

Zhou Xuan brought Lai Fu to the state yamen to check the situation. At this time, a servant stumbled back and shouted with panic: "Madam, it's not good, the lady has been arrested!" The servant was accompanying Qin Que to the state yamen to find out the news.

Zhou Xuan was shocked and then realized: the fake marriage was leaked, otherwise Miss Qin would not have been caught.

Mrs. Qin's fat body collapsed on the high-back chair, so shocked that she couldn't speak. Xiaodi heard that even her sister had caught her, and she burst into tears.

Lu An was shocked and asked anxiously: "What did Squid Girl do again?"

As Zhou Xuan expected, the maid said, "It was the assistant coach Jiang who sued the master, saying that the master was seeking a son-in-law and evading the talent show, which was a serious crime of deceiving the emperor. The lady was unaware of it and went to ask, and was arrested, as if she was going to arrest Mr. Zhou—"

Before he finished speaking, a sir was heard outside the gate, and the constable shouted: "Catch a criminal Zhou Xuan, and the idle man will retreat."

Zhou Xuan was desperate to come to get the money. He strode out and saw five wolves and tigers coming in a fierce manner, followed by a bunch of idle men and children watching the fun.

Zhou Xuan bowed with a smile and said, "Thank you all, where do you do this hot day?"

One of the constables followed Wu Gongcao to the "Mufeng Tower" that day, recognized Zhou Xuan, and said to his left and right: "It's him, he is the one who arrested him."

A headman shouted: "Catch one of the criminals Zhou Xuan and take them away."

The two officers behind him were holding iron chains and were about to cover Zhou Xuan. Zhou Xuan jumped back and avoided, saying, "Don't worry, I have asked the servants to prepare gifts for you."

When the five officers heard this, they immediately stopped and stretched their necks to look into the gate. Sure enough, they saw a big servant walking towards him with a mahogany box in his hand.

When Zhou Xuan saw this, he felt helpless. This Lai Fu was Zhong Zhong, and his brain was not very useful. He asked him to take the silver and then moved all the silver boxes. There were more than 700 taels of silver in this box.

Since it was moved out, there was nothing to dodge. Zhou Xuan opened the box and took out the silver. Ten taels of silver ingots were taken out, and each servant had a burst of money.

The greedy nature is more explicit in these servants who deceive others. They hold the silver ingots in their hands, look at the silver box, and their Adam's apple slides up and down, swallowing their saliva.

The officer in charge laughed dryly and said, "Zhou Xuan, do you know that you have committed a serious crime? I think you are a tactful person-"

Zhou Xuan didn't want to talk too much with these guys and interrupted, "Do you still want money? Then I have to wait until I go to the Protectorate's Mansion to ask Miss Lin Er before I talk."

Several of the officers were stunned, and the leader asked, "What do you mean?"

"No other meaning," Zhou Xuan gently kicked the silver box with his toes, "This silver is the principal for Ms. Lin Er to open a store together. I have to discuss it with her first."

The officer who recognized Zhou Xuan whispered a few words, just saying that Lin Heishan was brother Zhou Xuanyi or something. The officers immediately put away their greedy faces and put on an official look and said, "Mr. Zhou, someone sued you, please go to the State Criminal and Constitutional Department."

Zhou Xuan brought Lai Fu to the state yamen. The servants collected Zhou Xuan's money and knew that he had a backer, so he dared to use chains to trap him. They surrounded him one by one, as if they were following the servants.

The renting needle chased after him and called out, "Brother Zhou, I'll go with you."

Zhou Xuan asked the officers to wait, but he walked back and said, "What are you going to do with Sister Renting? It's okay, I can handle it."

Renjian said: "Renjian knew the two deputy envoys in the palace before, and might be able to help his adoptive father's sister Que'er and ask for love."

Zhou Xuan then asked the sewing needle to take the bus, and Xiaoxiang followed him and put the silver he had prepared to prepare in the car.

Mrs. Qin walked out with a maid's shoulder and said, "Son-in-law, it's all up to you this time. The old woman usually has no place to speak, so please don't be surprised by the son-in-law."

Zhou Xuan smiled faintly: "My mother-in-law, please rest assured. Zhou Xuanchu arrived in Jiangzhou and Meng's father-in-law took him in. He was always grateful. The son-in-law is not a person who is naturally cold-hearted. Even if it is not for Que'er, I will do my best to rescue him."

Mrs. Qin leaned against the door and watched Zhou Xuan walk away. She turned around and saw her nephew Lu An. She then looked out and saw her head and mind. When she heard that the officer had arrived just now, she was so shocked that she hurried to hide in the inner courtyard.

Mrs. Qin sighed.

************************************

The state yamen and the Protectorate's Mansion are only separated by a long street, and are also located in Chaoyangfang in the south of the city. Zhou Xuan came to the hall of the Constitutional Department where the state yamen was in charge of the criminal prison. He saw the fat man Wu Kuan and Wu with gold-plated fans shaking in the pavilion on the left, two strong black servants serving each other.

Seeing Zhou Xuan coming, Fatty Wu roared proudly, whistling, and said to the servants on both sides: "Look, look, the fake son-in-law of the Qin Mansion is here!"

Zhou Xuan ignored him and stood under the corridor waiting for the summons, but saw Qin Que walking out with tears on his face, and quickly came forward and asked, "Qin Xiao——Uh, Que'er, how is it?"

Qin Que couldn't stop crying when he saw Zhou Xuan, and sewing needles and fennel. After a while, he said a complete sentence: "Dad took everything and he wanted to take the blame alone. I refused. I wanted to take the blame to Dad, so Dad called me confused, saying that marriage was all the orders of his parents. Not only could I not be able to bear the crime, but I would ask the father and daughter together, so that no one would take care of the mother - it was all Que'er who was unfilial and implicated his parents!"

Seeing her sad look in her pear blossoms, Zhou Xuan comforted her and said, "Don't be pessimistic, be optimistic, things will definitely turn around. First of all, you have to insist that it is a real marriage-"

A servant came out to call Zhou Xuan to come to court for trial.

Qin Que looked at Zhou Xuan with sadness and guilt, shouting: "Young Master Zhou——"

Zhou Xuan chuckled softly and said, "Call your husband in front of outsiders." After that, he strode up the bluestone steps and entered the Xiansi Hall.

There were three people sitting in the hall, one of which was big in the middle, and they were very official. They were wearing deep crimson robes. I don’t know what kind of official they were. They must be bigger than Wu Gongcao, because Wu Gongcao was standing next to him.

On the right, there is a round head and a round head, with no beard under the jaw. It looks like a eunuch, smiling and harmless.

The one on the left turned out to be a woman, in her forties, dressed in palace clothes, beautiful eyebrows, but her cheeks were a little thin, giving people a mean feeling.

Zhou Xuan looked at both sides and didn't see his father-in-law, nor did he see a servant who held a stick of water and fire, and was going to beat people at any time. The atmosphere in this court is good and it will not give people a sense of depression that it is difficult to reach.

"Are you Zhou Xuan?" asked the official from Da Er.

Zhou Xuanying said: "Yes."

"Where is my ancestral home? Why did I come to Jiangzhou?"

Zhou Xuan said again what he had said to Dr. Qin. Of course, the prince's statement was spared, and Dr. Qin probably wouldn't say this.

The official sneered: "There are no wonders, what kind of overseas overseas Chinese? I think you are a troublemaker and are greedy for the commissions of Qin to marry someone on behalf of others. Don't you know that you are also deceiving the emperor?"

Zhou Xuan bowed and asked, "Sir, the surname is not yours?"

Wu Gongcao, who was on the other side, shouted: "Why are you pretending to be confused? Governor Xu, you won't recognize him?"
