Chapter 92 - 92 What A Great Authority
92 What A Great Authority
After Qin Xu finished speaking, his eyes also brightened. He immediately extended his hand to Qin Shi and said, “Mother, if you really don’t want to help your son, then give your son some money. I’ll have to hire someone to write a complaint, right?”
“You even need to hire people to write a complaint? Where did your own studies go? You can’t even write a good accusation, and you still have the face to say how you got rich with your car?”
Qin Shi said disdainfully. She then shook her head and said, “I don’t have money, and my family is almost broke. Where am I going to find money for you to hire people?”
In the end, Qin Xu walked out of Qin Shi’s house in a daze. In the end, he didn’t manage to get a single copper coin. Just as he was depressed that his plan was going to fail, he suddenly saw the chickens and ducks raised at home and heard the grunting sounds of the pigs and lambs in the pigpen. He suddenly hit his right fist against his left palm.
“Isn’t this all money? Stupid!”
Just as Qin Shi was about to finish the last of her cigarette, she suddenly heard a series of roars from the courtyard. She was just complaining about how the weasel and fox went down the mountain in broad daylight when she suddenly remembered that Qin Xu had just left her room. She immediately jumped off the brick bed and ran to the courtyard while looking for her shoes on the ground.
“Damn it, you’re harming the chickens, ducks, pigs, and lambs at home again. Look at what’s left in the pen except for old sows? You’re trying to take my life, my enemy!”
It was unknown where Qin Xu had found a few ropes, but he had tied a few chickens and ducks around his waist. He was currently fighting with a struggling pig. His hair was disheveled, and his face and body were covered in stinky mud.
Qin Shi’s chest felt stuffy, and she couldn’t help but take off one of her shoes and throw it at Qin Xu.
“Mother, you said that we have no money, so I have to think of some ways to get money. I have to ask the private advisor in the government to write this accusation. That’s what he does. I guarantee that he can write it so that the slut will be directly sent to jail. Just believe in your son and wait for the good news!”
Qin Xu’s head was hit by the embroidered shoe. Fortunately, the sole of the shoe was soft, so it didn’t hurt. Even if it hurt, it was worth it as long as he could sell his chickens, ducks, and pigs.
Although he was panting from exhaustion when he spoke, he finally managed to subdue the pig lamb. He was about to carry the pig lamb that was tied up by its hooves on his shoulder.
Seeing that he was really going to sell the last pig lamb, Madam Qin was not willing to let him and quickly chased after him.
Qin Xu wouldn’t let his mother catch him and take back the pig. He didn’t know where he got the strength from, but he threw the pig on his shoulder and ran away.
Seeing that she couldn’t catch up, Qin Shi could only hold on to the door frame and shout, “You should at least wash up and change your clothes before you leave!”
Before she could finish her sentence, Qin Xu had already gone far away.
It would take a long time to walk from the Qin Village to the county town. Besides, Qin Xu was covered in stinky mud, so he couldn’t enter the city.
He sold the chickens, ducks, pigs, and lambs to the nearby villagers and lingered at the door of the house for a long time. Taking advantage of the Qin’s afternoon nap, he sneaked back, hastily washed up, took a change of clothes, and ran away again.
Qin Xu ran to the small river outside the village and found a quiet place to take shelter from the wind. He washed himself carefully in the river again. He didn’t bring the soap from home in a hurry, so he took a handful of vanilla and rubbed it on his body, hoping that it could cover the smell of the stinky mud.
That patch of vanilla had been plucked bald by Qin Xu, which slightly covered the smell on his body. But with such a delay, it was not early and he had not gone to find Divine Doctor Qin.
“No, I have to find Divine Doctor Qin first. That little b*tch made him lose all his face last time. He even lost his title as a Divine Doctor. He must hate that b*tch to the core. I don’t think he will reject my conditions.”
Qin Xu muttered to himself, quickly buttoned up his clothes, and rushed to Divine Doctor Qin’s house.
However, when he ran over, he was dumbfounded. The door had been locked and there was no movement in the courtyard. It was obvious that no one was in the house.
“It can’t be. When did Divine Doctor Qin leave? This… Why doesn’t anyone know?”
Qin Xu looked at the tightly locked door and suddenly didn’t know what to do.
At this moment, Mo Ruyue had already followed Constable Wang to the entrance of the Yamen. She had come to this place every day some time ago. She only entered from the main entrance on the first day and the rest of the time, she entered from the back door. However, it was a completely different situation when she used the main entrance this time.
Constable Wang dismounted from his horse and took off the flail and chains hanging beside the horse. He then walked towards Mo Ruyue, looking like he wanted to put them on her.
“What do you want to do?”
Mo Ruyue didn’t get off the carriage, but the cold light that shot out of her eyes was extremely sharp.
The moment she stared at Constable Wang, he felt a sudden chill in his chest, as if he had been stabbed by a sharp knife. He broke out in a cold sweat.
It wasn’t that he hadn’t been glared at by Mo Ruyue before, but this time, he had a strange feeling that if he dared to touch her, even if this was the entrance of the government office, he would be dead.
“You, you’re the criminal that the magistrate requested… To be detained… Of course, you have to… Be shackled!”
Constable Wang braced himself and said. His body leaned back unconsciously. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to back away to a safe distance, but his four limbs were no longer listening to him. His lower limbs were like two wooden stakes, stuck to the ground and unable to move.
“Criminal? What about the arrest warrant? I’m a criminal just because you say so?”
Mo Ruyue sneered.
She didn’t know the normal process of arresting a criminal, but she remembered that if someone was suspected to be guilty in previous movies and TV shows, they could be directly arrested and tortured.
Her career this time had given her a warning. After this matter was resolved, she must study the various laws in this world. Otherwise, she wouldn’t know when she would step into a pit.
“What, you dare to question the magistrate’s judgment?”
Constable Wang’s tongue finally became a little more nimble. It was really embarrassing to be frightened by this woman even though he was at the entrance of the government office and had the support of the county magistrate.
In order to cover up his temporary fear, Constable Wang raised his voice and used an even more arrogant attitude than before. He bared his fangs and brandished his claws at Mo Ruyue, saying, “If you know what’s good for you, then obediently put on the flail. Otherwise, when my brothers come out to lock you up, don’t say that we don’t know how to take care of women!”
His voice was so loud that it attracted the attention of the people passing by. As soon as they saw that there was a show to watch, a group of people quickly gathered to watch, and the number of people gathered was increasing.
Mo Ruyue looked at him indifferently as if she was looking at a clown. She didn’t even try to hide the disdain and ridicule in her eyes.
“To imprison innocent people without a trial and conviction, you have such authority as an official. The magistrate actually did not distinguish between right and wrong, and even claimed to be a clean official? Are you trying to force me into a confession?”
