New widow

Chapter 555 Harsh

The prefect was already waiting for them in the study. When he saw the three people walking in, the prefect just nodded slightly: "Why are you meeting me today?"

"Sir, I'm here because of the kidnapping of Miss Zhou." That's what Su Du said. The prefect looked at Su Du and said, "Isn't the case closed?"

"Sir, I suspect that not all the gangsters were caught that day." Zhang Qing also spoke, and the prefect looked at Zhang Qing: "Zhang Sifu, you are an official who has not come easy, why do you have to stand up for others?"

"Sir, I am not an official for the sake of being wise and protecting myself." Zhang Qing said this loudly, and the magistrate's expression became more and more ugly. He looked at Su Du: "Okay, okay, okay, Su Tongpan, I didn't know that you He is such a person."

"I didn't expect that the magistrate would be such a person." Su Du replied coldly. The magistrate was already trembling with anger: "You think that I can't do anything about the third young master of your Nanyang Marquis Mansion? You? Don’t forget, no matter what, you are also my official."

"Of course the lower official knows that he is just an official, but the upper official has no status, so the lower official naturally has the responsibility of admonishing." Su Du refused to give in, and the prefect became more and more angry and shouted: "Come here!"

Su Du still stood there, looking at the prefect, not caring about the prefect's anger.

"Sir, you are not here today to fight a lawsuit. Why do you just say these words here?" Su Qiao's voice sounded, and the prefect looked at her: "You woman, everything is done from the beginning. Come on, you dare to speak out like this at this time, do you know what you are called?"

"Why do you have to put all the blame on me, sir?" Su Qiao's words made the prefect loudly call for someone again. Now it was the housekeeper who came in. The prefect pointed at Su Du and the three of them: "Go and put the blame on me." When the clerk came, he said that he should write a document quickly and send it to the provincial capital. If the general magistrate and the official of the government do not listen to what the court officials say, I will take their seals first."

When the housekeeper heard the magistrate's order, he looked at the magistrate in shock. The magistrate had already stamped his feet: "Go quickly."

The housekeeper left in a hurry, but Su Du and Zhang Qing were not afraid and still stood there. Su Qiao sighed softly: "My lord, what are you doing?"

"I don't need you, a woman, to be nagging here when I do things." The magistrate's eyes were almost red, and he wished he could squeeze Su Du to death immediately, so that he could eliminate the hatred in his heart.

"Your Majesty, if you do this, you will ruin your own future." Suqiao's words made the prefect extremely angry: "As a court official, am I not even qualified to deal with several subordinate officials?"

The clerk had already arrived. When he heard what the prefect said, the clerk hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "Sir, sir, even though they are officials, if they want to remove the seal or be removed from office, they must report it to the provincial capital and wait for Mr. Futai to make a decision. If you directly If you do this, Lord Futai will be blamed, but the bad person is still the Lord himself."

The magistrate was extremely angry and reached out to type the paperwork. Su Du frowned slightly: "May I ask, sir, what is the relationship between those gangsters and you? Your Majesty would rather lose your own future than protect that person." How many gangsters?"

There was a future on the left and a future on the right. The prefect was so angry that his hands were shaking. Su Qiao had already looked at the prefect: "Before Sister Zhou died, she told me that there were more than two gangsters. In that village, only two were caught. Two. My lord, you did not order the arrest of the rest of them. Although Sister Zhou is gone, I still remember everything she said."

"If you remember, what's the use?" the prefect asked back, Zhang Qing had already said: "Sir, we caught three gangsters today. They said they were related to the incident in which Shangshu's Mansion was burned down in the past."

"That case has been closed. Even the Zhou family is dead. Zhang Sifu, please don't get involved." The prefect's words did not go as expected by the three of them. Zhang Qing stepped forward and said, "What if I insist on pursuing the case?" ?”

The magistrate couldn't help but take a step back, with a look of fear on his face. Although the look of fear only flashed by, Su Du still saw it. Su Du couldn't help but step forward: "Sir, how much did you do about this in the past? "

"You have no evidence." The prefect's words at this moment were so pale that Su Du and Zhang Qing couldn't help but look at each other, both of them looking very surprised.

"My lord, my lord!" the clerk shouted in panic. Only then did the magistrate realize that he had made a mistake, so the magistrate said coldly: "The case of Zhou's kidnapping has been closed. Don't get entangled in it anymore."

"Sir, we..." Zhang Qing wanted to continue, but Su Du had already pulled Zhang Qing's sleeve, and Zhang Qing remained silent. Su Du only took Zhang Qing and bowed to the prefect: "In that case, next time I take my leave."

After saying that, without waiting for the prefect to answer, Su Du took Zhang Qing Suqiao and walked out. The prefect looked at the backs of the three of them coldly, his hands clenched into fists.

"My lord, your lord should make a decision on this matter early." After the three people left, the clerk said respectfully to the prefect. The prefect's hand slammed on the table: "Send documents to the provincial capital."

"Yes!" The clerk responded respectfully, but the magistrate felt that the anger in his heart was still there and could not be relieved no matter what. These things were really, really irritating.

When the three of them walked out of the magistrate's office, it was already sunset. Zhang Qing couldn't help but exclaimed: "The city gate is about to close."

Su Qiao had already said to Su Du: "In that case, I will go back quickly. If I stay in this city for one night, I don't know what kind of rumors there will be."

"Ms. Kuang!" Su Du called Su Qiao. Su Qiao turned around and looked at Su Du. Su Du felt her heart beating very fast: "What I just said is true. It's not expedient." plan."

"I know what you said is true." Su Qiao already smiled, and then Su Qiao said softly: "But there is a gap between you and me."

Although one was a widow and the other was unmarried, how could the Nanyang Marquis Mansion allow a third-married person to enter the house and become their daughter-in-law? Not to mention Suqiao's background was far from being able to catch the attention of Nanyang Houfu.

"I know, but Madam Kuang." Su Du's voice was a little choked: "I think, I think, we don't need to be so unfamiliar with each other."

"We are already friends." Su Qiao only said this, and hurriedly walked forward. Zhang Qing pulled Su Du: "Do you want Mrs. Kuang to walk on this street alone?"

A girl from a good family cannot walk alone on the street, who knows what kind of things she will encounter. Su Du hurriedly caught up with Su Qiao. Su Qiao heard Su Du's footsteps behind her. Su Qiao lowered her eyes. Su Du's words made Su Qiao not unmoved, but Su Qiao knew more about many things. You don't have to be moved to accept it calmly.
