The Number One Catcher In The Capital, You Call This A Dog Leg?

Chapter 509: Goodbye Dong Hao

Xu Qing stepped forward and said in a low voice: "How can you, as yamen officials, treat a child so cruelly?! Even if it was ordered by the county lieutenant, you can deal with it. Why is this?"

No matter what Xu Qing said, he had worked in this line of work before, so he naturally knew some rules. He only verbally agreed to the things ordered by his superiors. If he really did it, the effect would be half and half.

Even with the order of the county lieutenant, how could they beat a child like this?

It seemed that if Liu Wanyan hadn't stopped them in time, the mother and son would have been beaten more severely.

And one temptress at a time, have you ever seen such a powerless temptress?

If they were temptresses, would they still be alive?

Are they really trapped by superstition, or do they need to find a reasonable reason to unscrupulously release the evil in their hearts?

The chief arrester quickly said: "This is a temptress. What kind of good thing can a temptress' child be? We have our own rules for doing things."

"Witch?" Xu Qing frowned and said, "Why do you say that?"

The chief arrester quickly snorted, "Having given birth to two stupid children, what is it if they are not witches? This was said by the county captain himself. How can you let you be a grassroots beak? Leave as soon as possible!"

Xiao Ruxue said: "What if we want to take care of it?!"

The chief arrester quickly snorted: "You really don't cry when you see the coffin, come! Take them to the yamen, and send someone to ask the county captain to come over!"

Xiao Ruxue didn't take it seriously at all and said, "Just go, I'm afraid of you!"

At this moment, the door of the mansion on the side opened, and a middle-aged man walked out: "I told you to drive this temptress away, why is she still near my mansion?"

Listening to the tone of this speech, it is obvious that this is the county lieutenant of Gu County.

As soon as this person came out, the surrounding people all retreated a lot, not daring to approach him.

County magistrates are generally released as county magistrates after the first Jinshi in the imperial examination, but county magistrates are not.

County lieutenants are generally directly appointed by the local people and have a certain reputation in the local area.

The chief arrester cupped his hands and said: "Master County Captain, someone is causing trouble!"

The county lieutenant of Gu County asked, "Who is making trouble?"

The lead arrester pointed at Xu Qing and the others and said, "Report to my lord, it's them!"

The county captain of Guxian said in a deep voice: "You are causing trouble in front of this official's gate?"

Xu Qing said: "It's not about causing trouble, I just want to seek justice for this lady and the child."

"Fair?" The county captain of Gu County sneered and said: "Do you know that this is a temptress, she gave birth to two stupid children in a row, and even killed the first son, you want to seek justice for such a person? What justice can this man have?"

As he said that, the county magistrate of Gu County looked at the beggar woman and continued: "What are you still doing here? Take your bastard and get out! Do you still want to kill my newborn grandson?"

The beggar woman shook her head, with tears on her face, and said in a crying voice, "Er Bao said he misses his father, so I'll take him to have a look from afar..."

Gu County County Wei hummed: "Where did you come from father, you scoundrel? Don't blame me for being ruthless if you dare to cheat on your relatives! If you dare to come here again, I will have your legs broken!"

At this point, the case has actually entered the stage where it is difficult for an upright official to decide on family affairs.

Originally, the beggar woman was the daughter-in-law of the Guxian County Captain, or niece, but now she gave birth to two stupid children to the Guxian County Captain's son, and she was considered a witch and kicked out of the house.

But the beggar woman refused to stay away and had nowhere to go, so she had to beg for a living with a foolish child, but everyone in this valley county thought she was an ominous temptress, and few people were willing to give her food money.

To say that Guxian county captain is too much, he was brought up little by little as a child bride-in-law, and he never treated her badly during this period, and he was considered a loving couple when he had no children.

It's not too much to say, but he named this woman a seductress, so that she could not find a job in this valley county, but had to beg for a living.

...

Xu Qing said: "This is not the reason for you to instruct your subordinates to beat children. Abuse of power should be dismissed and investigated according to the law. If the situation is true, you will lose your reputation and be sentenced to seven to ten years in prison. If the circumstances are serious, you will be executed."

The county magistrate of Gu County was slightly startled when he heard this, and looked at Xu Qing: "You are so proficient in the law? Who are you?"

Xu Qing said: "Unfortunately, I happened to be a policeman last year and saw some."

Guxian County Wei said in a deep voice: "Do you know that she is a seductress who kills children?!"

Xu Qing disdainfully said: "What is it to kill a child? When I was a policeman, I was not only a county lieutenant, but also the governor of the state, and I didn't see anyone who had any opinion on me."

Xiao Ruxue on the side was stunned: "Then shouldn't your boss be the head arrester? The county lieutenant is dead, so what about the head arrester?"

Xu Qing said: "The catcher is still raising a baby at home..."

Xiao Ruxue nodded in a daze: "That's right, I almost forgot, your catcher is Sister Su..."

The county magistrate of Gu County heard this person say so brazenly that he killed the county magistrate, and said in a deep voice, "Are you provoking me?"

Xu Qing said honestly; "No, no, it's just stating the facts."

At this moment, a young man in casual clothes came over: "What are you doing here?"

Hearing the sound, the county lieutenant of Guxian quickly cupped his hands and said, "Lord county magistrate, someone is causing trouble in front of the lower official's gate."

"Troubleshooting?" The magistrate of Gu County asked, "Who is making trouble?"

Gu County County Captain pointed to Xu Qing and said, "That's them!"

When the magistrate of Gu County followed the hand of the county lieutenant of Gu County, he was slightly taken aback, and a look of surprise appeared on his face: "Brother Xu?!"

Xu Qing was startled when he heard this and looked over: "Brother Dong?"

Xu Qing also did not expect that the county magistrate of Gu County was actually Dong Hao, the son of Dong Song, the current servant of the household department.

Xu Qing remembered very clearly that Dong Hao was one of his fanatic fans at that time, pestering himself for poems.

Being able to come here to be a county magistrate, it seems that he should be a Jinshi.

Seeing this scene, the county magistrate of Gu County couldn't help being stunned: "It's over, why did the magistrate know this person..."

Dong Hao seemed to suddenly think of something, hurriedly retreated a few steps, bowed down, and said: "No, it should be called Lord Hou now. The next official, Dong Hao, has met the Marquis of Anding County."

As Xu Qing's number one male fan, Dong Hao naturally pays attention to Xu Qing's news all the time. A few days ago, he became the youngest Marquis in the history of Chu State, which is really hard to hold.

As soon as the county magistrate said this, the people around were shocked, especially the county magistrate of Gu County, who was speechless.

Didn't he say last year that he was still a county lieutenant? How did he become Lord Marquis in the mouth of the county magistrate?

Is there such a young Lord Hou?

Xu Qing helped Dong Hao up and said, "It's all a false name, so there's no need to be formal."

"It should be, it should be." Dong Song just straightened up, looking at the little girl standing beside Xu Qing, the whole person almost knelt down:

"Yong... Yong... Princess Yongle?"
