Chapter 128 Unscrupulous
Chapter 128 Unscrupulous
Unexpectedly, He Shuqing was very dissatisfied and pointed at the city lord's nose and cursed.
"Do you also want to help this bitch? As the lord of a city, you actually shield her in public. Is there some ulterior relationship between you and her?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the review hall was in an uproar.
Even Dong Qian was stunned. He Shuqing spoke so boldly. Could it be that he thought that his status as a young scholar was comparable to that of the city lord?
When Dong Qian got closer, she realized what was going on. He Shuqing's body exuded a strong smell of alcohol.
Even though Dong Qian was three steps away from him, she could still smell it.
"Bold! You speak arrogantly and are disrespectful to the city lord. According to the law, you can be beaten with thirty sticks."
The city lord's subordinates couldn't stand it and stepped forward to speak for the city lord.
It was as if He Shuqing couldn't stop the car. The words in his mouth became more and more unpleasant, and the angry city lord turned red.
At the same time, in Wanxiang Pavilion, Qin Han and Qin Hao arrived early and learned from Shen Wanxiang that Zhang Wuzhe was on his way back, but he had not arrived yet.
"Why is this? Logically speaking, the distance from the outside of the city to Wanxiang Pavilion is only a few miles. Even if we walk, we can still reach it now?" Qin Hao was very anxious in his heart.
However, Shen Wanxiang sat aside calmly, happily eating a handful of melon seeds in his hand.
"It's not that the money you gave me is too little. People will be slow to leave when they see less money."
Qin Han didn't believe what he said completely, "Where is Zhang Wuzhe now?"
Qin Han's eyes seemed to be able to kill people, and Shen Wanxiang pointed towards the south with trembling hands.
When Qin Hao saw Qin Han walking out of Wanxiang Pavilion, he looked around, "Where are you going?"
Unexpectedly, Qin Han took the horse away from the coachman on the side and mounted it directly.
"Go and go back."
After he finished speaking, he galloped out on horseback, and pedestrians on the street got out of the way.
Qin Hao had no choice but to take out two taels of silver from his pocket and give it to the coachman.
So much time has been wasted now, and I don’t know if it’s too late.
Soon Qin Han saw a man with a beard on the road. He knelt down and looked carefully at the dying donkey, feeling filled with emotion.
This donkey had been with him for 15 years, but he didn't expect to die like this today.
He squatted aside and was unwilling to leave, wanting to accompany it to the end of its life.
Qin Han knew that there was not much time to waste, so he dismounted and asked, "Are you Zhang Wuzhe?"
He stood up and looked at the person who came, looked up and down a few times, and nodded after confirming that he didn't recognize him.
Before he could speak, Qin Han pulled him directly onto his horse.
"It's too late to say so much. Go to the review hall quickly. He is waiting for you."
After Qin Han finished speaking, he slapped the horse on the butt, and the horse ran forward quickly.
Zhang Wuzhe suddenly remembered that someone had written a letter to him, asking him to rush back to Yancheng within three days.
Is this what happened? After he realized it, he grabbed the reins and tightened his legs.
"We have waited long enough, City Lord, how long do you plan to continue delaying? Could it be that I really got it right?"
After being forced to sober up for a while, He Shuqing started talking about those words again, but the city lord sat there unmoved.
They did wait long enough, and the city lord was also a little impatient.
"How long will it take? I'm afraid this matter can't be delayed any longer. If there is no evidence, the execution will be carried out directly."
After the words fell, several guards walked directly to He, intending to escort her to a chair.
Dong Kailiang walked forward and knelt down directly, "He is the wife of a common man, and today he will be executed. The common man is willing to take his place in her body!"
"No, it was He who made the mistake. What does it have to do with you? Why did you come here to join in the fun?"
He Shuqing just had to drive Dong Kailiang away directly.
The city lord asked very displeasedly.
"He Xiucai, is this the review hall of the city lord or the review hall of you, a scholar?"
He had not corrected his identity and status at all, so he still smiled playfully when the city lord questioned him.
"Aren't yours and mine the same? We all have to abide by our laws."
The city lord was even more furious when he heard this.
"Well, I want to see, He Xiucai, what do you plan to do with it?"
He Shuqing became even more excited when he heard this.
"In this case, He and Dong Qian clearly had no evidence, but they deliberately delayed time. They should be punished together."
But no one moved after he finished speaking. They all knew who could really give orders.
Naturally, they didn't dare to move without the city lord's order, but He Shuqing blamed them for being high-handed and short-sighted.
"Although I am a scholar, I am still higher than you servants. How dare you disobey me!"
When he planned to take action himself, the city lord waved directly.
The two guards walked directly to him and held him down like a prisoner.
At this time, He Shuqing also realized that something was wrong, and was mostly awake from the wine.
He immediately smiled and explained: "The little guy just talked nonsense after drinking, and I hope the city lord Haihan will do it."
But it was too late to wake up at this time. The city lord planned to deal with He's matter and then deal with him. Everything had to come first, then come last.
He was about to give the order when suddenly a sound of horses neighing came from outside.
Everyone looked outside the review hall. He wiped away the tears that overflowed from the corners of his eyes and finally saw the person he had been looking for these days.
"Mess from the He family!"
Zhang Wuzhe saw He kneeling there at a glance, and immediately felt extremely distressed.
He didn't care so much and directly asked Zhang Wuzhe to go to the review hall.
If the city lord asks anything, just answer it truthfully.
Zhang Wuzhe didn't think too much. As long as He asked him to do something, he would complete it without hesitation.
"City Lord, this person is the witness we are talking about. Zhang Wuzhe is my mother He's childhood neighbor. He has known everything my mother has experienced since she was a child." Dong Qian's voice was sonorous and powerful.
He Shuqing on the side yelled: "Fart, that's nonsense. How come I didn't know there was a man named Zhang Wuzhe next door? The city lord can't believe it. They made this up!"
Zhang Wuzhe recognized this person as He Shuqing at a glance, and he smiled without exaggeration.
"He Shuqing, I didn't expect that you would have such a day. You would really forget me. I was Zhang Wuzhe who was bullied by you all day long, and you could actually forget me."
Dong Qian saw anger in his eyes, but she didn't expect that there was such a story between the two.
Afterwards, the city lord asked what he was talking about, and Zhang Wuzhe answered truthfully.
His description was more cruel than what He said. It was not just as simple as starvation. Sometimes He Shuqing would also bully her.
Not only did Zheng not stop him, but he also helped him perpetrate his crimes. He was dying when he was sold.
