Chapter 193 Unfriendly Looks
The guard who led the way escorting Mrs. Tongpan did not panic at all under the gaze of Magistrate Chu. He described what happened and emphasized that Mrs. Tongpan did not have an identity document to prove her identity. They just misunderstood Mrs. Tongpan. He was impersonated and repeated some of Zhang's arrogant words.
"Mrs. Sun's behavior is vulgar, and her words are often suspected of interfering in government affairs. She also categorically said that she would remove the county magistrate from his official position. Such arrogance and boldness are really not something that Mrs. Tongpan can do, and she is not capable of doing so. With the document that could prove her identity, the servants in the government naturally thought that Mrs. Sun was a fake, so they sent Mrs. Sun to the county government. "
"Mrs. Sun, is there such a thing?" Magistrate Chu's face was not very good. Even though his official position was not high, he was still an official assigned by the imperial court. The parent official of Xinye County was dismissed by a housewife. This is simply disrespectful. His insult was just that Magistrate Chu had been an official for so many years and had seen a lot of dark and corrosive things in the officialdom. Even if he had temper, he suppressed it in his heart, but his face was just a little ugly.
Ms. Zhang was a bit speechless when asked by County Magistrate Chu. Although she didn't think highly of Magistrate Chu, who was a subordinate, she still had to rely on Magistrate Chu to do things for her at this time. Naturally, she couldn't admit that those words made Magistrate Chu embarrassed. Who was she? After so many years as an official wife, Mrs. Zhang quickly reacted.
"How can there be such a thing? A bold and unruly man dares to accuse my wife. This is nonsense. Magistrate Chu, please do not listen to this unruly man."
When Zhang said this, the guard did not argue. He just stood there with a cold expression and pointed his sword, waiting for Magistrate Chu to speak. Because the situation was so surprising and confusing, no one noticed that the guard did not salute the county magistrate after he came in. Even now, he is standing and talking to the county magistrate, Mrs. Zhang.
County Magistrate Chu noticed it, but didn't say anything. When he found out that the guard was from Su Mansion, Magistrate Chu became more thoughtful. Not to mention that his wife was on good terms with Mrs. Su, he was a little more tolerant of the Su family. Others didn't know the details of the Su family, but he knew it. People in the Su family were not the ones who didn't know the rules, which shows that this The guard had an official position, but Mrs. Tongpan was so indifferent that she didn't notice that the guard had no fear of her. There was only one explanation for this. The guard's master was more powerful than Mrs. Tongpan.
"Mrs. Sun, your words are just one-sided, and it's hard for me to judge." County Magistrate Chu was also in a dilemma. Although he didn't like Mrs. Sun in his heart, after all, she was Mrs. Tongpan, and he was not someone he could offend in the Su Mansion. Started.
"County Magistrate Chu, I will not make things difficult for you. The rest can be said to be one-sided. However, it is true that these unscrupulous people offended my wife. You can always deal with it."
"This..." County Magistrate Chu looked at the guard, asking him to reveal his identity, otherwise he would really have no choice but to arrest the person. After all, Mrs. Sun was a member of the official family, and it was a fact that people from the Su family had offended Mrs. Sun.
"Your Excellency, County Magistrate, I have also obeyed the order of my master." The guard said coldly, which means that if you want to settle accounts, you can go to our master.
Mrs. Tongpan was waiting for the guard to say: "Mr. Chu, you heard it. It's his master who did this. Go and take down the master of the Su family."
"Mrs. Sun, do you really want to do this?" County Magistrate Chu hesitated, but had other considerations in mind.
"Why, I heard that County Magistrate Chu's wife has a very good relationship with Mrs. Su. Could it be that Magistrate Chu wants to help the Su family?" Mrs. Zhang's words were a bit sharp.
"I don't dare to lower my rank." Magistrate Chu made a respectful gesture on his face, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
"Humph, I'm sorry you don't dare. In that case, just come with me to arrest people." Mrs. Sun saw that Magistrate Chu was hesitant. She also heard that the Magistrate's wife was on good terms with Madam Su, and she was worried that Magistrate Chu would favor Su. If the family doesn't do things well, I have to go with him, just in time to show off his power in front of the Su family and regain the face he lost earlier.
"Yes, I obey your order." After hearing what Mrs. Sun said, Magistrate Chu clearly had a look of success, but it was too fast and no one noticed it.
Mrs. Tongpan led Magistrate Chu to arrest people in the Su Mansion. The guard actually had no objection at all. He followed them back to the Su family. The guard's face was always cold, and there was no change in his mood. What on earth were you thinking?
The county magistrate's wife heard from the back that someone came to report that the magistrate was going to Su Mansion to arrest someone. She was a little worried, so she quickly asked someone to put on their clothes and went forward. Since the magistrate's wife was present, it was not easy to ask too many questions, so she got Knowing that the Su family would be fine with her husband's hint, she felt relieved, but she followed him in the end.
A group of people went to the Su family in a mighty manner, including not only the servants that Zhang had brought from the Tongpan Mansion, but also the county government servants and the servants of the Su family. Passers-by stopped when they saw it. Zhang was sitting in the carriage. She looked outside, feeling extremely proud of her majesty. She also thought that when it came to the Su family scene, this time she got the handle. Even if the Su family people knelt down to plead for her, she would not let him off easily. Pass.
The Su family has a good reputation in the local area and is deeply protected by the local people. Seeing so many people going to the Su family, as well as a group of government officials, they were all worried that something had happened to the Su family. They hurriedly went to the Su family to report the news. Family reward.
"Grandma, you are so good at predicting things. As expected, Mrs. Zhang came with her government servants to kill her!" Su Wenyue woke up energetic after a long sleep. At this time, she came to the old lady and listened to the servants reporting the whereabouts of Mrs. Zhang and her entourage. She laughed. road
"You're such a sweet-talking girl! Don't worry, my grandmother is here to help. None of those who bully our girls can get away with it." The old lady encountered her granddaughter being bullied when she first arrived, so naturally she couldn't agree to it.
Old Lady Su calculated that it was almost time, so she went back to her room and asked the maid to help her change into the imperial robes that she would wear when she went to the palace to pay homage or attend a banquet. Once she put on the imperial robes, her temperament changed. The old lady who was kind and gentle just now turned into a majestic elder. Even Su Wenyue was a little nervous when she didn't smile.
"How is it, grandma, do you look majestic in this dress?" The old lady seemed to have noticed her granddaughter's mood and asked cheerfully, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
Su Wenyue was just temporarily uncomfortable. Hearing this, she smiled and said, "Grandma looks so majestic in this dress. Even my granddaughter is shocked by her majesty."
Zhang brought a group of people to the Su Mansion. This time, they were more aggressive than before. They rushed in with people and were blocked at the door again by the guards of the Su Mansion.
"How dare you stop me! Take down all these unruly people who are obstructing the government's investigation!" Zhang pointed at the yamen runners and said.
However, the yamen runners did not listen to Zhang, but looked at County Magistrate Chu. They only listened to County Magistrate Chu's orders. Seeing that the yamen runners did not listen to her orders, Zhang also looked at County Magistrate Chu with a somewhat unfriendly look.
