"What's the matter with Wang Zhaodi? How could the Ya Yai capture her?"

"Isn't her son a master scholar? How could the government take her away?"

"That's right, you see that she has put on all the shackles. It seems that she has committed a ten percent offense, otherwise she would not be put on the shackles."

"Hey, the folks in our village are simple and honest. We haven't seen anything like this for decades. The result was corrupted by Wang Zhaodi's mouse shit."

The surrounding villagers talked a lot, but they didn’t know what was going on.

At this time, Qi Qingfeng also chased out from the house, and hurriedly stopped in front of several government officials.

He didn't want to get ahead, but if his mother committed something, his scientific expedition would come to an end. I was afraid that he would not even be able to keep his reputation as a talented scholar, so he bit his head and ran out, thinking Figure out what is going on.

"Several messengers, please tell me, what is the crime of my mother? Is there any misunderstanding?"

It's about his own future. Qi Qingfeng is naturally extremely anxious. He stopped in front of the yamen and blocked their way, trying to figure out whether all this was a misunderstanding.

Wang Zhaodi was frightened out of his nerves. He was just an ordinary woman. Where did you see such a big battle? If it hadn't been for the two yamen nearby to support her, Wang Zhaodi would have fallen soft to the ground at this time.

Wang Zhaodi immediately burst into tears when he saw his most arrogant son coming over, and wailed for Qi Qingfeng to save her.

"The third child, you want to save your mother, your mother did nothing, you want to save your mother..."

Wang Zhaodi really doesn’t know what she has done. She has always been honest, and because her son is a scholar, she pays attention to her words and deeds on weekdays, for fear of dragging down her son. Haven't done it before, how can these yamen come to arrest her?

Twenty years have passed since the exchange of children. No one had ever doubted Qi Erzhu’s identity. Wang Zhaodi himself slowly forgot about this matter. Naturally, he did not think that the yaman was arrested because of this matter. her.

Seeing Wang Zhaodi crying with snot and tears, his appearance is extremely miserable, Qi Qingfeng's eyes flashed with disgust, and the voice of the people around him also made his face start. He has never been so embarrassed since he grew up to have a fever.

As for Qi Baotian and the others, they were so scared at this time. A large family crowded at the gate of the yard, but no one dared to come forward.

They are all honest dealers, where have you seen such a battle? Even though it was only a servant, it was enough to deter those who had never seen the world.

The leader of the Yajie did not give Qi Qingfeng a good face because of his status as a talented scholar. If nothing else, once Wang Zhaodi’s crime is convicted, his reputation as a talented talent will be expelled. , If there are direct relatives in the family, descendants and grandchildren are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination.

However, although his face was not good, he still gave Qi Qingfeng two thin noodles: "Someone went to the county office and called for injustice. The magistrate took the case and ordered me to wait for the prisoner. Master scholar, you still don’t want to stop us from handling the case. If you have any questions, come to the county office to ask. Now we don’t have time to waste here with you."

After saying these words, without waiting for Qi Qingfeng's reaction, he directly greeted his servants and left with Wang Zhaodi.

Qi Qingfeng kept sinking when he saw the other person's appearance.

Although the name of a scholar is not as good as that of Juren, if nothing else, most people will give him a little bit of face.

But the yaman's attitude towards him is a bit wrong.

Qi Qingfeng can feel it, he seems to be a little dissatisfied with himself, and doesn't take him seriously.

This is very unusual.

I don't know why, Qi Qingfeng suddenly felt a deep sense of anxiety in his heart. He shook his head and tried to get rid of that sense of anxiety.

As for Qi Baotian and the others, seeing that the government officials had finally gone away, they hurriedly greeted them and asked Qi Qingfeng what was going on.

"Lao San, what happened to your mother? She is the most honest person, but how can she commit a crime?"

The person questioning is Qi Baotian. Although he sometimes feels that his wife’s desire to control is too strong, he also knows in his heart that his daughter-in-law is better at home. , He never dare to cause trouble outside, how could such a person commit a crime?

Other people have the same idea, how could their mother commit a crime and be taken away as a prisoner?

The villagers who were onlookers have not left yet. It is rare for such a big thing to happen in the village. It is not enough to say that it is rare to see it in a century. How can they be willing to leave?

Those who are close to relatives cannot help but ask a few questions, wondering if they need help or something.

Qi Qingfeng is upset at this time, where can I take care of this? This family has never seen the world, and it is usually okay. No one can count on it when it is critical, and everything can only be done by himself.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense here, let's go to the county government to check it out now."

With Qi Qingfeng's words, the Qi family hurriedly got busy.

Going to the county office is a man's business, so the people in the past were Qi Baotian, Qi Dazhu and Qi Qingfeng, while Zhang Shuniang stayed at home with three sons.

While packing things, Qi Qingfeng pulled Qi Baotian's arm and asked him to take out all the money at home.

"Father, the yamen is open to the south. It is reasonable or unreasonable to lose the skin, take the money, don't bear it, no matter what it is, we have to prepare to do something."

In fact, there are not many silver deposits at home. On the bright side, there are less than a few silvers, but Qi Baotian still saves some privately, and he has six taels of silver together. He is not willing. I used all the silver, but looking at Qi Qingfeng's ugly face, even if he was reluctant, he had no choice but to take it out.

When they were about to drive the borrowed ox cart to the county seat, Qi Siniang and Qi Wuniang also came with their husbands and sons.

The two of them were married in Taohua Village, and both knew it well. They knew that there was something wrong with their parents’ family, so they naturally wanted to come back, so let’s see what we can do to help.

Qi Siniang and Qi Wuniang came back, and then there were two more people in the bullock cart that went to the county seat. One was Qi Siniang’s increase in Liu Jiaming, and the other was Qi Wuniang’s husband Xu Changping.

The two are not very old, one year younger than Qi Qingfeng, and the two of them kept chattering and asking along the way, wondering what happened. matter.

"Father-in-law, eldest brother, third brother, mother-in-law, what is going on with her? Why was she suddenly taken away?"

The questioner was Liu Jiaming, Qi Siniang’s man. He had studied for a few years, but after being admitted as a child student, he found that he would probably not be a scholar in his life, so he decisively gave up the imperial examination. I found a Mr. Accountant’s job in the county town.

Compared with Xu Changping, Liu Jiaming's mind is more active and he thinks more.

Liu Jiaming, who also took the imperial examination, knew very well that if the parents were convicted, the children’s fame must not be preserved.

Neither Qi Baotian nor Qi Dazhu spoke, but they all cast their eyes on Qi Qingfeng.

Qi Qingfeng's anxiety became stronger and stronger, and his face became more ugly than before. He was still thinking about what crime his mother had committed and whether he would go to jail. Playing a few more boards, and then fined some money, although it is shameful, but it will not have any impact on his road to imperial examination.

But if you commit a serious crime, even if you are only sentenced to one or two years in the end, your reputation will not be preserved.

Damn, what the **** is going on!

At this time, Qi Qingfeng has already felt resentment towards Wang Zhaodi. He feels that his mother can’t help me at all. Now he is still here to harm him. What is his life? What kind of mold did you put on such a mother?

"I don't know, we will wait until the county government office."

After leaving this sentence hard, Qi Qingfeng said nothing. Liu Jiaming and Xu Changping looked at each other, but did not continue to ask more questions.

It seems that the situation is really serious, otherwise Qi Qingfeng would not be what it is now.

The distance from Taohua Village to the county seat is not that far, but they are sitting in an ox cart, which is naturally much slower than the servants who work as a carriage. The Qi family are still on the way. Ya Yajin led Wang Zhaodi into the county office.

This is the first time that Wang Zhaodi has entered the county office in his life. Looking at the majestic county hall, Wang Zhaodi’s legs are soft like noodles, and he can’t stand up at all. , Her face turned pale for a while, her mind was noisy, she didn't know what she should think.

The servants who brought her in stood aside with the killer sticks, although they did nothing, but it was enough to scare Wang Zhaodi.

Until now, Wang Zhaodi didn't know what crime she had committed. Her body was trembling violently, and her face was as pale as paper.

The yamen standing on the side watched their noses and noses, and none of them took care of her as a prisoner.

The waiting process is long, and this long waiting time has made Wang Zhaodi’s invisible fear accumulate more and more. The unknown is the most terrifying. Wang Zhaodi doesn’t believe these servants. She was handcuffed to the county government because she was in a daze here.

I don’t know how long it took, the magistrate in official uniform walked into the lobby. After sitting at the table, he picked up the gavel and patted it hard, and yelled: "Is the guilty wife Zhaodi? You know you are wrong!"

In recent years, the common people have a natural sense of fear of the government, and Wang Zhaodi has seen the biggest official, that is, Lizheng. Now he suddenly saw such a big official and was so frightened by him. , Wang Zhaodi burst into tears.

However, as soon as she began to cry, the county magistrate shot the gavel again and yelled: "Dare to roar in court, add more crime, come, execute..."

However, before the words were finished, Wang Zhaodi didn't dare to cry anymore, she collapsed on the ground without any image, and kept begging for mercy to the county magistrate.

"My lord is forgiving, I, the criminal woman doesn't know what I did wrong, please let me know..."

At the end of her speech, she had become incoherent, and she was so scared that her soul was lost. Because of her fear, her face burst into tears, and she looked so terrible.

The county magistrate sitting at the top saw the messy woman below, and couldn't imagine that this person would do such a shocking thing.

Replace your own child, the replacement is still between yourself and the child of the prime minister, turning a farmer into the son of an official, and concealing that he has not shown anything for twenty years and possesses such a scheming method Will this man be the one below who was so scared and howled by the startling?

The county magistrate was skeptical, but the complainant was vowed and involved the prime minister of the court. He did not dare to have any luck, so he immediately asked Wang Zhaodi to be brought to the court.

After observing Wang Zhaodi for a while, the county magistrate took another shot of the startle. Wang Zhaodi was so frightened that he immediately stopped speaking and did not dare to continue. The county magistrate saw this and said: Shi, are you convicted? Someone accused you of deliberately confusing the blood of officials and swapping the blood of officials with your own blood. Is this possible?"

As soon as this statement was made, Wang Zhaodi was struck by lightning. She suddenly raised her head to look at the magistrate sitting in the lobby, as if she couldn't believe what she had heard.

How is it possible? No one knows about this matter except for her and Wang Dabao. Wang Dabao and himself are grasshoppers tied to a rope. He will never betray himself. How could he say something?

Wang Zhaodi is only a village woman, but she also knows that the exchange of children cannot be admitted. Twenty years have passed since the incident, and the original evidence has been annihilated. She I don't believe anyone can find the evidence.

Thinking about this, Wang Zhaodi said powerfully: "My lord Mingjian, even if you take the courage of the local women, you will not dare to do this kind of thing. This must be someone slandering the local women. The woman is wronged, and I ask the adults to be the masters of the people’s wives..."

Wang Zhaodi cried with sincerity and grief. If she didn't know, she might be fooled by her like this.

But the county magistrate can’t fool around at will. He glanced at Wang Zhaodi, who was lying on the ground in sorrow and crying, and slowly said, “It seems that you don’t see the Yellow River and don’t give up. Come, bring the witness."

After getting the order, the Ya Ya quickly retired, and within a short while, he brought up the witness.

I don’t know why, Wang Zhaodi’s heart is a little messy, as if something has been out of her control, but when this idea rose, she was suppressed by herself. .

No, she did it secretly and no one would discover it. As long as she resisted to admit it, no one could convict her.

However, these thoughts all disappeared when they saw the so-called witness that was brought in by the yaman. Wang Zhaodi's eyes widened, and he looked at the man who was honestly kneeling not far away in disbelief. The man at the office.

"How are you!"

At this time, Wang Zhaodi was completely panicked. She stared at Wang Dabao fiercely, as if to penetrate his whole body with that fiery gaze.

Wang Dabao didn't look at Wang Zhaodi, and after duly buckling the head of the county magistrate, he waited there quietly.

The county magistrate looked at Wang Dabao and motioned to him to repeat what he had said before.

Wang Dabao didn't say anything too much, and said all of the previous complaints.

"Twenty years ago, the villain’s mother saved a woman who was about to give birth, and took her home to take care of her. At that time, the villain’s eldest sister Wang Zhaodi just went home to visit, she and the woman People gave birth to children one after another... The little man saw with his own eyes that it was the little man's eldest sister who exchanged two children. She exchanged her own child for the woman, and regarded the other's child as hers."

Wang Zhaodi did not expect that the person who complained would be Wang Dabao. Seeing that he had recruited everything, Wang Zhaodi was so scared that she was so frightened that she was in the court at this time, screaming to make the king Dabao shut up.

"Wang Dabao, I take you not to be thin, and I have been doing my best to take care of you and help you over the years, why are you harming me!"

She absolutely cannot admit this matter. The other party is an official family. If this matter is really exposed, then the whole family will be over.

Wang Dabao did not pay attention to Wang Zhaodi, so he continued.
