342　　Chen Jie washed his face, handed the towel to Cui Ju, looked at Si Xi and said, "What's wrong with that?"

　　Si Xi said, "Tiger, Lord Tiger, was taken away from the government gate."

　　"oh?"

　　Chen Jie raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect the government to do things so quickly. He looked at Si Xi and asked, "Oh, who brought it?"

　　Si Xi said, "Captain Wu Hong."

　　Chen Jie nodded and said, "Oh, I see. By the way, Xiaohu didn't resist, did he?"

　　"No, Lord Tiger didn't resist."

　　Chen Jie nodded, and then said: "Si Xi, prepare some good gifts and horses, I want to go to the Darughachi Mansion."

　　Si Xi heard this and said, "Sir, it was Tiger Lord who was captured by the government. Shall we go to the Darughachi Mansion?"

　　Chen Jie laughed and said, "Haha, if Darughachi doesn't agree, the government will dare to arrest people from the White Tiger Hall. Don't worry, it's okay."

　　Chen explained, and then said to Cui Ju beside him: "Tell Madam that I will not have breakfast in the mansion today."

　　After hearing this, Si Xi said, "Well, I'll go get ready."

　　Chen Jie said: "Yeah."

　　Si Xi turned around and left, confused. His own hall master didn't seem to be in a hurry. Lord Hu was his best brother.

　　Si Xi left with doubts.

　　Meanwhile, Xiao Hu was on the road with handcuffs on his hands, and Wu Hong was beside him. Wu Hong whispered, "When we get to the court, don't say anything rude. I will help you."

　　Hearing this, Xiao Hu looked at Wu Hong and said, "Brother Hong, I'm sorry about what happened yesterday. Brother Jiu Si scolded me yesterday. I was wrong."

　　Wu Hong was stunned, then patted Xiaohu on the shoulder and said, "Brothers don't talk about these things."

　　Xiaohu said: "Well, I'll listen to Brother Hong."

　　Wu Hong nodded and took Xiaohu to the court.

　　Soon the group arrived at the court. It was noisy at that time. A group of people gathered in the court, both men and women. Among them were many wearing gray clothes, which were usually only worn by the servants of the Mulan family.

　　A group of people gathered in the court, most of them were standing, only two were kneeling on the ground.

　　The two people who were kneeling there and trembling were none other than the couple from the liquor store who were bullied yesterday.

　　Wu Hong brought Xiaohu in. As soon as they entered the hall, the group of people in gray clothes glared at Xiaohu fiercely. Xiaohu didn't care. He glanced at them and stood aside. At this time, Wu Hong stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "Sir, the prisoner Chen Xiaohu has been brought here."

　　At this time, sitting behind the desk in the hall was the county magistrate, Tang Wannian. Hearing this, he slammed the gavel and said, "Very good, all the prisoners have arrived. Madam, can we open the court?"

　　Tang Wannian looked at a woman surrounded by gray-clad guards.

　　Chen Xiaohu also noticed this woman at this time. He saw that this woman was dressed elegantly and luxuriously, but also very vulgarly. She actually had several large gold rings on her hands and a fine emerald plate on her thumb.

　　The most important thing is that she was actually sitting in the hall, on an equal footing with Tang Wannian.

　　You have to know that in ancient times, no one could sit in the court except officials.

　　However, the exception is the Mulan people, who can sit down.

　　This is the privilege that the herders have over the law.

　　The woman was sitting on a chair. There were several corpses wrapped in straw mats on the ground. They were the people killed by Chen Xiaohu yesterday.

　　The legal advisor had already opened the official document and was ready to take notes. There were also three shifts of yamen runners, including fast and strong ones, standing by his side. The scene was quite grand.

　　Wu Hong stood in his position as the head of the fast squad.

　　Tang Wannian looked at the woman at this time. The woman glanced at Chen Xiaohu and said, "This man is so bold. He dared not to kneel down and kowtow to the magistrate of our dynasty. He is so arrogant!"

　　After hearing this, Tang Wannian frowned and looked at Chen Xiaohu.

　　Bang!

　　The gavel slammed and he was about to speak when Wu Hong whispered, "Sir, this person is from the White Tiger Hall."

　　Tang Wannian said, "So what? There are seven or eight hundred people in the White Tiger Hall. If everyone can avoid kneeling when they see me, where is my authority?"

　　After hearing this, Wu Hong added: "Its cultivation of Huajin."

　　"Transformation? Transformation power?"

　　Tang Wannian was shocked. He could care less about other things, but he must care about Hua Jin. What is Hua Jin? That is at the level of the Thirteen Guardians, almost on par with him.

　　Wu Hong said: "He should have received Chen Jiusi's instructions in advance, and he did not resist when he was arrested. Otherwise, it would be difficult to catch him."

　　"Besides, the iron chain on his hand may not be able to tie him up. My Lord, please think twice!"

　　After hearing this, Tang Wannian fell silent. He ignored the part of asking Chen Xiaohu to kneel down, and instead slammed the gavel again and said, "Open the court!"

　　"Mighty and powerful!"

　　The three shifts of yamen runners shouted in a show of authority, and the atmosphere immediately became tense. Tang Wannian slammed the gavel again, and the runners stopped shouting in a show of authority.

　　"Who is this person in the hall? What grievances have you suffered? Tell me quickly!"

　　The formal words are still simple.

　　After hearing this, the lady sitting on the chair did not intend to stand up. She was the plaintiff, but she was not prepared to tell her story to the Han official who was the servant of the Mulan people. He was not worthy of it.

　　At this time, the woman waved her hand, and a man who looked like a housekeeper came out and said, "Your Excellency, on behalf of the noble Lord Tara's legal wife, I sue the Han Chinese Chen Xiaohu for killing my master. I ask the county magistrate to investigate the matter and sentence him to death to comfort my master's spirit in heaven."

　　After hearing this, Tang Wannian was stunned, turned to look at Chen Xiaohu and said, "Chen Xiaohu, people accuse you of killing the herder Tara, do you admit it?"

　　"Absolutely not!"

　　Chen Xiaohu answered simply, then looked at the woman and said, "What nonsense!"

　　"You, you lowly person, you still refuse to admit it. Look, there are so many witnesses here, and you still dare to deny it!"

　　The woman sitting on the chair said angrily, and at this time the housekeeper beside her said: "Madam, I'll do it."

　　The woman said, "Come here."

　　The housekeeper looked at Chen Xiaohu and asked, "Chen Xiaohu, did you go to the East City Temple Fair yesterday?"

　　Chen Xiaohu said: "I went."

　　"You went alone?"

　　Chen Xiaohu said: "Not only me, our hall master, our hall master's wife, and many disciples went."

　　"Okay, County Magistrate, you must have heard it clearly. The matter is very clear. Yesterday, Chen Xiaohu and his group went to East City and drank in the wine shop of this young couple. During the trip, Chen Xiaohu became malicious and wanted to molest the young couple. He beat the man and pinned the woman to the ground!"

　　"At this time, our Lord Tara saw it and led people to stop it. Who would have thought that he would suddenly attack and injure people, killing many of my guards. Lord Tara was almost killed by him. Fortunately, Wu Hong arrived in time and stopped it all."

　　"But I didn't expect that they had someone hiding in secret, that is Chen Jiusi, the head of the White Tiger Hall. He secretly saw the opportunity and killed my master with a sword. So the murderer is not only him, Chen Xiaohu, but also Chen Jiusi of the White Tiger Hall!"

　　boom!

　　After hearing this, everyone present looked at the butler who was confusing right and wrong.

　　Chen Xiaohu was even more furious: "You are talking nonsense. He is just a Mulan man. Why does our hall master need to take action? You are slandering him."

　　The people around were looking at the housekeeper Mu Lan in surprise. He was so bold that he actually wanted to drag Chen Jiusi into the water. Could Chen Jiusi be dragged into the water so easily?

　　Aren't these Mulan people too arrogant?

　　At this time, on the other hand, Chen Jie had already arrived at the Darughachi Mansion with valuable gifts, and Qimuge received Chen Jie.

　　"Chimuge Commander"

　　Chen Jie bowed and said, "Is your Excellency here?"

　　Qimuge looked at Chen Jie and said, "Jiu Si, you've been making quite a fuss lately?"

　　Chen Jie heard this and said, "Shouldn't I come here to explain this to you, sir?"

　　Chen Jie gave the gifts to the servants of Darughachi's mansion. Qimuge took Chen Jie to the back garden where Yelu was fishing.

　　Chen Jie came over, clasped his fists and said, "Lord Yelu."

　　Yelu didn't say anything, but pointed at the lake and said, "Fishing for a while?"

　　Chen Jie said: "Well, thank you, sir."

　　Chen Jie threw the hook into the lake and watched the float. Yelu said, "Is it because of the matter at the government office?"

　　Chen Jie immediately clasped his fists and said, "It's Lord Yelu."

　　Yelu said: "I can't help you with this matter. Killing our Mulan people is a challenge to the national prestige of Daqian. No one can save your men."

　　Chen Jie heard this and said, "Yes, I know he is guilty of a serious crime, but this matter is really a misunderstanding. The noble lady Mulan was not killed by my brother. Please investigate clearly, sir."

　　Yelu said: "But it was obviously you guys who killed him at that time."

　　"Didn't Tara have a grudge against your White Tiger Hall at that time? No matter how you talk about this matter, your White Tiger Hall cannot escape responsibility."

　　"Yes, yes."

　　The adults are right.

　　Chen Jie paused here and said, "But sir, this matter is also good for you."

　　"benefit?"

　　Yelu raised his eyebrows and said, "If you kill my Mulan people, will it be good for me?"

　　Chen Jie said, "Sir, Mulan people are Mulan people, and you are your lord. Sir, you don't have to hide it from me. I know that you are from the Yelu family. The Yelu family advocates sinicization, which is contrary to the Prime Minister Bayan of this dynasty. With your talent, you are more than qualified to be a darughachi of a prefecture. Unfortunately, you were implicated and entered our Mianshui County."

　　"After entering Mianshui County, our local Mulan people have been very disrespectful to you, and even think that you are not in the right position. What's worse, some even speak wildly to you. Over the years, these Mulan people have never been respectful to you."

　　"They never respected you, sir, but united with the local natives. Old Arutai even sang against you many times."

　　"Otherwise, the Lord would not have placed so much importance on our Han gang instead of using the local Mulan forces."

　　"Your Excellency, I am right."

　　Upon hearing this, Yelu looked at Chen Jiusi and said, "This is not a secret, you are right."

　　Chen Jie said: "Therefore, this incident is definitely a good thing for you. The death of a herdsman who did not support you can serve as a warning to the local herdsmen and tell them that in Mianshui County, it is you, the Darughachi, who has the final say."

　　"They shouldn't gather around old Alutai and fight against adults, otherwise adults won't help them."

　　"On the contrary, if adults help them, they will think that it is their duty to help them, and will not regard the help of adults as a favor. On the contrary, they will think that it is normal for adults to do so, and that adults are afraid of them, so they must win them over."

　　"So I don't think your Excellency can help them this time."

　　"And if you don't help them, it will show your importance. Don't they like old Alutai? Then let old Alutai avenge them."
