Chapter 365

The river water was very bitter and astringent, and the dried noodles were hard. Jiang Zhinuan ate some to eat, and leaned against the tree trunk to rest and recover his strength.

About two hours later, Jiang Zhinuan leaned against the tree trunk and fell asleep.

Brother Dahu woke her up: "Let's go, we should hurry."

The sky was completely dark, but fortunately, the moonlight was good tonight, and the stars all over the sky were shining with silver light.

When Jiang Zhinuan woke up, his buttocks and legs hurt so badly that he even staggered a little when he walked.

Brother Dahu straightened his burden and put it on Jiang Zhinuan's saddle before helping her onto the horse.

"Thank you, Brother Tiger."

"Thank you? Zhang Quan's friend is my Dahu's friend. I know everything about you. When the cooked food is cleared up, I will go to support you."

Jiang Zhinuan nodded heavily: "When the time comes, you can eat roasted duck and marinated meat as you please, Big Tiger Brother."

"Success, for this sentence, our trip to Yongning County must be successful."

After finishing speaking, Brother Big Hu signaled Jiang Zhinuan to grab the reins, and hit the horse she was riding on the buttocks with a whip: "Hold~"

Following the rattling of horseshoes, the two figures galloped one behind the other under the moonlight.

The whole night, wearing the stars and wearing the moon.

It wasn't until the sky turned pale that the two arrived in Yongning County.

Brother Dahu is so tired that his legs are shaking, let alone Jiang Zhinuan.

If it weren't for the strength, she would have fallen down by now.

"It's still early, why don't you find a place to rest."

Jiang Zhinuan's purse was handed over to Zhao Hongxia before, and there were only a few pieces of silver left on her body, so she took out all of it and handed it to Brother Da Hu.

"Brother Big Tiger, find an inn to rest, and I'll call you back when I'm done."

"Aren't you going to rest? This iron man can't hold on!"

Jiang Zhinuan smiled helplessly: "If you can't hold on, you have to hold on. At this moment, Sister Hongxia is taking my place in the prison. If I go back earlier, she will be less dangerous. I don't have time and I can't go to rest."

Brother Dahu sighed: "Hey, that's all, you can persevere, why should I rest, you say, what are you going to do in Yongning County? I know this place well, and I will take you where you want to go."

"I'm going to the government!"

Jiang Zhinuan came here for only one purpose, to move the magistrate of Yongning County to Pingxi Town to preside over justice.

Brother Da Hu had always accompanied Zhao Hongxia to Yongning County to buy goods, and he would stay for several days every time he came. He wandered around Yongning County when he had free time. He was quite familiar with Yongning County, so he naturally knew the location of the government.

"Come on, I'll take you there."

Brother Dahu took Jiang Zhinuan to find a place to store the two horses before going to the government.

After bumping on the horse for almost a day and a night, it seemed that his legs were not his own. Every time he took a step, Jiang Zhinuan's legs trembled.

She gritted her teeth and persisted to the government.

This government office in Yongning County is much more grand than that in Pingxi Town.

The grievance drum at the door seemed to be much bigger, Jiang Zhinuan picked up the drum stick without hesitation and started to beat it.

After a while, the gate of the government office opened wide, and two servants came out.

"Who is playing the drum? What's the matter?"

"Pingxi Zhenjiang Zhinuan, the daughter of the people, beat the drums to appeal for grievances, and asked the magistrate to make the decision for the daughter of the people."

The yamen servant nodded upon hearing this, and said to Jiang Zhinuan, "Come in."

It was rare to beat the grievance drum in the early morning, so the yamen servant led Jiang Zhinuan and Brother Dahu to the lobby and asked them to wait there.

After waiting for more than an hour, the prefect came late.

Jiang Zhinuan was anxious, afraid that she would not be able to ask the magistrate to return Zhao Hongxia in time. After waiting for more than an hour, she was like an ant on a hot pot.

As soon as the magistrate came, she knelt down and shouted directly: "The daughter of the people has a grievance, and she wants to sue the magistrate of Pingxi Town, please the magistrate to make the decision for the daughter of the people."

Sue the county magistrate?
Such things as suing officials are really rare, the magistrate raised his eyebrows and looked up at Jiang Zhinuan seriously before saying: "What grievances do you have, tell me carefully."

Jiang Zhinuan explained her affairs in detail.

However, the magistrate only said in a cold voice after hearing this: "You said you didn't buy private salt, but you have no evidence. How can I believe what you said? You are guilty of escaping from prison, so you are not afraid that I will tell you You arrested him and escorted him back to Pingxi Town?"

"My lord! Of course I'm afraid. If I really bought private salt, shouldn't I run as far as I can after I escape from prison? Why do I still come to you to complain?"

"There is some truth to it. Since you have come to complain about injustice, I will naturally take care of it. How about this? I will arrange people to go down to Pingxi Town to assist the county magistrate in the investigation. If you are really wronged, I will definitely give you justice."

When the magistrate arranges someone to investigate, when will we have to wait?
Jiang Zhinuan has no time.

She had to leave before tonight and rush back to Pingxi Town in order to safely replace Zhao Hongxia within the limited time.

"My lord! This case of mine is not an ordinary case, not to mention that my case has only three days to delay, and even the collusion between the county magistrate and the salt dealer cannot be delayed.

The county magistrate, as a parent official in Pingxi Town, colluded with salt dealers and broke the law knowingly!

He even protected his nephew from killing innocent people!
Steal the sky and change the day to quietly replace the sinner who should have been beheaded and exiled!

One by one, the county magistrate took advantage of his official position to seek personal gain for himself, and now he is trying to entrap the women of the people in order to vent his anger on his nephew!
Such corrupt parents and officials are really the tragedy of Pingxi Town. If you fail to investigate in time, the daughters of the people will have to go to the state, even to Wangcheng to sue for impeachment! "

Jiang Zhinuan spoke eloquently, and the magistrate frowned upon his remarks.

"When did the officer say that there will be no investigation? When you sue, you will write a pleading paper and hand it over. The officer will send someone to investigate."

"My lord! It will be too late when you send people to investigate! I escaped with my life this time, and my sister suffered in the prison for me. If the time passes, I will be forced to sign a confession."

The magistrate was a little displeased when he heard this: "Then you mean to ask me to go to Pingxi Town with you right now?"

"Yes, my lord!"

"Ridiculous! Although I don't talk about daily affairs, I still have a lot of affairs to deal with. Do you want me to visit me right away?"

"But my lord, after tomorrow, the daughters of the people will be tortured and tortured when they go back. Even if the daughters of the people refuse to admit it desperately, the county magistrate said that there are some ways to make me admit it. Even if I don't sign it myself, the crime will still fall on me. !"

"That's all, I am writing a book, you should take it back first, the magistrate will delay your case after reading it, and wait for the official to visit and investigate in person."

Jiang Zhinuan was about to say something, but Brother Dahu tugged at his sleeve.

How can Jiang Zhinuan invite the magistrate if he wants to?

Even if the magistrate promised to go to Pingxi Town to investigate this matter immediately, he would not rush all night today. Why not take the letter first and go back to delay the time, and wait for the magistrate to come to investigate.

Jiang Zhinuan understood what Big Hu meant, so he could only nod in response.

It was not yet noon when they walked out of the government office with the letter from the magistrate, and the time was much more relaxed than they expected.

Considering Brother Big Hu, Jiang Zhinuan still invited Brother Big Hu to a restaurant, and there was still time to have a full meal before rushing on the road.

It's just that she didn't expect that after she and Brother Big Hu left the government office, the magistrate immediately edited another letter and handed it to his subordinates, so that he could send it to the county government office in Pingxi Town as quickly as possible.
