Chapter 276 Scapegoat
"Xiaorui, something serious happened."

Early in the morning, while Mo Qianrui was still asleep, someone knocked on the door.

Then before she got up to open the door, Tang Yanxiu kicked the door open, and he yelled loudly as soon as she entered.

"What's wrong?" Mo Qianrui rubbed her still sleepy eyes, and after a while, Mo Qianrui still felt dizzy in her head and didn't understand what happened at all.

Seeing Mo Qianrui's appearance of not waking up, Tang Yanxiu did not hesitate, and said at the fastest speed: "Your little uncle stabbed Wang Cuie, and now Wang Cuie is not out of danger. And, not only that, he also Telling the truth that Wang Cui'e is no longer perfect, Wang Cui'e's aunt insisted that it was your little uncle who framed her. Moreover, in order to show her innocence, she bumped her head to death at the gate of the house in Yuxian County. Blood spattered three feet and died on the spot .”

"I..." Mo Qianrui's eyes widened, and his mind suddenly came to his senses, but he found himself completely speechless.

"This happened in the evening last night. Tang's Commercial Bank sent someone to deliver a letter to me overnight, but it still failed to catch up before the city gate closed. It was the same as last time. I waited at the gate of the city all night. As soon as the door opened, they came in and sent me a letter. Because the matter was urgent, there were no letters, only oral messages. However, I believe they will never make a mistake with such a serious matter."

"You mean, my little uncle killed someone?"

It took a long time for Mo Qianrui to recover, but her tone of voice was still erratic.It's not because she is ignorant, she has never encountered such a thing in her two lifetimes.In particular, everything was fine when the letter was delivered yesterday, but today...

"Your little uncle should be intentionally hurting people, because Wang Cuie is not dead yet, but if she can't make it through, then it is intentional killing. However, Wang Cuie's aunt died, at the gate of the house in Yu County. In full view."

Swallowing with difficulty, Mo Qianrui suddenly realized that even if she regained the ability to speak now, she still didn't know what to say.

"This matter is too big, and I'm afraid it won't be long before it spreads throughout Wanhua County." Tang Yanxiu paused, and said, "So you don't have to try to hide your mother now, and you Just take Erya back to the inner city, leave this matter to me, it's not convenient for you to come forward."

"But……"

"There is nothing! Don't worry, I will try my best to save your little uncle. By the way, I remember that there are still some medicinal materials in the space, but they are not many, and they are not high-quality goods. When you return to the inner city house, Immediately enter the space to see if there are any top-quality medicinal seeds sold in the system store. I think there are some, if there are, you should plant them immediately, regardless of the crops that have not been harvested. I thought about it, then Although Aunt Wang Cuie crashed to death at the door of Mo's house in Yuxian County, after all, she can only be regarded as suicide, as long as Wang Cuie is not dead, your little uncle should be able to keep it."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. However, if things change, you must tell me. My little uncle... try to save him if he can. If he really can't, he can only blame himself. "

Although Mo Qianrui also had a lot of grievances towards Wang Cuie, no matter whether Wang Cuie simply concealed the fact that she lost her virginity, or she was just a substitute for another purpose.But in any case, Wang Cui'e is not guilty of death.

Taking a ten thousand step back, even if Wang Cui'e deserved death, it should be judged by the government.

Therefore, no matter what the truth of the matter is, the little uncle of the Mo family is still unforgivably guilty.

And the reason why Mo Qianrui said it was okay if he couldn't save it was because on the one hand, he felt that the little uncle of the Mo family was responsible for all this, and on the other hand, he didn't want Tang Yanxiu to be too embarrassing.Although she can't kill relatives righteously, she can at least choose to stand by and watch.

"I understand what you mean. However, if something happens to your little uncle, it's nothing else. I'm afraid your grandma..."

"That's right! My grandma will definitely die of grief, then, that's better to help him, even if he is imprisoned, at least his life will be saved."

Perhaps Mo Qianrui never regarded the little uncle of the Mo family as a close relative from the beginning to the end, but after spending so many days together, the grandmother of the Mo family still occupies a very important position in Mo Qianrui's heart.She could watch the little uncle of the Mo family being arrested and brought to justice because of the wrong things she committed, but she couldn't watch the grandma of the Mo family break down.

Tang Yanxiu nodded, indicating that he understood what Mo Qianrui meant.

Actually, there was one thing Tang Yanxiu didn't tell Mo Qianrui.

If something like this happens, the whole Mo family will be implicated.Even in the previous life, if there was a murderer in the family, he would be looked down upon by the neighbors gossiping.Although communication is not very developed in this era, similarly, such a big event rarely happens in this era.And every time there is a big event, people's topics usually last for several years or even more than ten years.

In fact, Tang Yanxiu didn't care about the life and death of the little uncle of the Mo family at all, and the two of them didn't have much contact with each other.

He can even ignore the feelings of the Mo family's grandma. After all, relatively speaking, the Mo family's grandma is only an acquaintance of his, and she has almost no feelings if he really wants to talk about it.

But the problem is that he can't accept that in the future, someone will point at Mo Qianrui's back, saying that Mo Qianrui is the niece of the wife-killer in Yu County... He will never allow this!

Tang Yanxiu sent Mo Qianrui and Erya to the carriage. If it wasn't for the time constraints, he would have sent them to a house in the inner city.Fortunately, the law and order in Wanhua County has always been very good, and the incident in Yu County should not have been reported at this moment, so there is no need to worry about what will happen to Mo Qianrui and sisters on the way.

However, Tang Yanxiu still asked someone to say hello to the yamen servant of the county guard's mansion, and gave him some money for wine. He only hoped that the other party would make more rounds around the Tang residence.

After arranging these things, Tang Yanxiu rushed to Yu County with Zhang Da and Zhang Er.

At this time, the Mo family in Yuxian County had become a complete mess.

Although the county magistrate Hua Xiancheng has been dismissed from the official position by the county sheriff, the problem is that the eighth-rank county magistrate cannot be appointed by a mere county magistrate.To put it simply, the governor of the county can dismiss the county magistrate Hua because of certain well-founded crimes, but he is not qualified to appoint a magistrate at will.I can only report the matter and wait for the Ministry of Officials in Kyoto County to dispatch personnel.

During the gap in the middle, the affairs of Yu County will be divided into three types.

One is trivial matters, which are discussed and dealt with by the original master and others. In fact, these matters do not need to be managed by the county magistrate himself.

The other is a matter that is serious but not very urgent. It will be postponed until the county magistrate sent by the official department arrives, and then handle it by himself.

The last type is a sudden and extremely serious incident, and the county sheriff will send someone to deal with it, or he will go to Yu County to sit in the town.

Tang Yanxiu wasn't sure if the Sheriff would be there in person, but he knew very well that even if the matter was put on hold before Cheng Hua County was dismissed, at a later stage, the case would be transferred to the Sheriff's Mansion of Wanhua County.Because a mere eighth-rank county magistrate cannot handle such a serious matter.

However, after thinking about it, Tang Yanxiu still felt that it was more likely that the governor would personally rush to Yu County.

Wanhua County faces the river in the south and the mountains in the north. It is a typical good place where you can rely on mountains to eat mountains and water to drink water.Moreover, the land in Wanhua County is extremely fertile, and the annual grain production is far ahead of several nearby counties.In the past ten years, Wanhua County has sought the most fertile land for the cultivation of rare flowers on the one hand, and on the other hand has dug ponds to divert water to vigorously develop artificial breeding of rare fish.It can be said that apart from a few remote villages, Wanhua County is generally very prosperous.

At least, compared to the neighboring Chongming County, it is a paradise on earth.

And everything is inseparable from the credit of the governor of Wanhua County.

The county sheriff has served three consecutive terms in Wanhua County, and it will be the ninth year next year.Although the law stipulates that each official can serve a maximum of three consecutive terms, the problem is that this basically does not happen.

The reason is that if you do a good job, you will be promoted after the three-year term expires.If you don't do well, you will either be promoted or demoted.It rarely happens that Master Wanhua County Sheriff has stayed in an official position for three consecutive terms.

Maybe outsiders don't know much about the mystery, but Tang Yanxiu has heard of it.

Back then, when he had just traveled here, before his grandfather passed away, Tang Yanxiu once heard his grandfather mention Wanhua County.

The most famous ones in Wanhua County are the Hua Family, one of the three major charity merchants, and the other is the County Sheriff.

To put it simply, the reason why the governor stayed in Wanhua County for so long was not only for training, but also for a secret mission.And next year, after the ninth year of the prefect's term expires, he will definitely be promoted after he returns to Kyoto County.

But at this juncture, something so big happened in Yu County.

To make matters worse, the original Yuxian magistrate had already been removed from his official position by the county magistrate before that.In this way, not only will something happen in Yuxian County, but also for the county sheriff, there will be an excellent scapegoat missing.

If Huaxian Cheng is still there, at least the main responsibility lies with him!

It was precisely because of this that Tang Yanxiu privately believed that the governor of the county should personally come to Yu County to sit in town.

even……

If the letter applying for the transfer of officials from the Ministry of Officials has not been sent out, the county magistrate will definitely take back the original order and let Huaxian Cheng continue to return to Yu County to be his county magistrate!

If things really turned out that way, neither Tang Yanxiu nor the Mo family would be lucky.
