The First Volume of Qinghe County

  "What! Didn't you see?" Bai Taoyi jumped up from his chair and shouted to the house servant, "Have you inquired at the county yamen? Is that scoundrel Ximen Qing dead yet?"

  "The county government office is empty, without even a single person's shadow. Ximen Qing also didn't see anyone." The servant replied: "After much difficulty and asking around through connections, it was said that someone invited the second master out for drinks."

  "Get out of here!" White Physician kicked that family's Ding on the buttocks: "If you can't find it, don't come back!"

  "Brother! You went to handle matters, how did you end up drinking instead!" White Physician thought resentfully, smashing a cup of brewed fragrant tea into pieces: "Drinking delays matters!"

  Two hours later, two soldiers under Bai Song's command slowly woke up in an unfamiliar place...

  "This wine! It's got a lot of kick!" One of the soldiers yawned, looking like he hadn't woken up yet.

  "That's what I'm saying." Another soldier nodded in agreement and opened his eyes to take a look, "Brother, wait, where are we?"

  The two of them walked around in a circle before realizing they were both in an unfamiliar room, and even after rubbing their slightly painful heads, they couldn't remember how they got there from the bar.

  "Brother, where is our commander? Why can't we see him?" Only then did the two realize that Bai Song was nowhere to be found.

  "I don't know, go find out!"

  Just as the two were about to open the door and go out to take a look, they faintly heard intermittent sobbing sounds coming from somewhere inside the house, and it sounded like a woman.

  "Who's crying?" The sound of crying was strange and annoying to listen to.

  "Brother, it seems to be coming from the back, take a look?" One of them tilted his ear to listen, turned his head to look, and behind him was a screen with someone's shadow flickering inside.

  "Go and take a look!" The two of them, one on each side, lifted up the curtain directly and took a peek.

  On the ground, a skirt was torn into strips like rags, and a small garment was pulled apart into two pieces. Looking further ahead, a woman sat in front of the bed with her head down, sobbing quietly, without any clothes on her body, which was covered all over with purple bruises.

  Look again at the bed, it's Bai Song who is snoring loudly, lying on his back with his limbs spread out and not wearing a single piece of clothing. That thing was half-hard and hanging to one side, seemingly still wet.

  How is this? It's all a play of White Sing's drunken molestation of civilian women...

  Two soldiers looked at each other, how can drinking lead to this kind of thing, this Bai Song, made a big fuss!

  "Brother, why don't we just take care of this girl and then drag Bai Xiao Wei away?"

  "Go for it, brother, this idea is good."

  The two of them whispered to each other for a while, then directly pulled out their waist knives. Anyway, the old master was also a murderer in the northwest, so what's the harm in killing one more person? When the time comes, they can just turn against each other and deny everything, and no one will be able to do anything about it!

  At this time, the "civilian woman" suddenly lifted her head and stood up straight, with tears all over her face, and a shining waist knife: "What do you want to do?"

  At the same time, her chest was heaving violently without a single thread on it, showing that the "beauty" was already frightened to death.

  Two soldiers involuntarily swallowed their saliva, unsure how long it had been since they last touched a woman, and such a beautiful one at that!

  "Don't waste it! Brother, help your brother get the wind!" One of the soldiers lost his waist knife and started undressing: "Bai Daren has gone crazy, we brothers... second layer!"

  "What's the big idea, you come first!" Another soldier also started stripping off his clothes without any courtesy: "Every day it's always you, this time let your brother go first!"

  "Nothing more to say, let's go up together!"

  Two soldiers moved swiftly, stripping down to their underwear, looking at the "civilian woman" with ill intentions: "Beauty, if you behave well and serve the master happily, maybe we can spare your life..."

  The "civilian woman" looked at the two approaching flesh-colored worms and let out a sharp, ear-piercing scream!

  "No matter how loudly you shout, no one will come to save you!" The two soldiers let out a wicked laugh and directly held the "civilian woman" in place from left and right: "Save your energy for now, it's useless to struggle."

  "How dare you! Let that woman go!" The curtains parted on both sides, and Ximen Qing strode in with large steps, pointing at the two soldiers with his hand, striking a magnificent pose: "Under broad daylight, how dare you behave like beasts! Shameless!"

  Behind him was the whole county government team, led by County Magistrate Zhu, with the teacher and Niu Da in tow. All the yamen runners came, except for Wu Song who was out on a mission, they were all accounted for.

  Ximen Qing's original plan was to frame Bai Song for the crime of raping a civilian woman, and have those two soldiers witness it. But unexpectedly, these two scoundrels' lustful hearts were stirred up, and they turned into accomplices in Bai Song's gang rape, making the crime even more heinous!

  "Damn it! Damn it!" Zhu Zhixian shouted in anguish: "Ximen County Lieutenant, have all the people arrested for this county!"

  Two soldiers were shocked! Even the commander was stunned! Who would have thought that just a moment ago, there was no one in sight, but with this "civilian woman's" sharp cry, so many people suddenly rushed in!

  This is coming too fast! Everyone else is staring at me with a strange look in their eyes!

  " Misunderstanding! " Anyway, the two of them let go of that "civilian woman" first, covering their vital parts and loudly explaining: "This was all done by Bai Song, it has nothing to do with us!"

  "So many eyes are watching, misunderstanding is inevitable!" Ximen Qing stepped forward with large strides, coldly smiling as he took off his cloak to block the spring light, escorting her back before giving the order: "Niu Da Tou, seize them!"

  "Alright!" The cow-headed man waved his hand and more than a dozen yamen runners swarmed up, directly pinning down the two naked men and tying them up.

  Bai Cong was also dragged down from the bed, tied up with five flowers, and Ximen Qing held a basin of cold water in front of him, splashing it on him. Bai Cong suddenly came to, slowly opening his eyes.

  "Bai Song! Do you know your crime?" Zhu Zhixian shouted loudly as he stepped forward.

  After drinking the anesthetic wine, he was the one who drank the most. At this time, Bai Song still had a headache like an axe splitting, and when looking at people, there were some heavy shadows. He shook his head and found that he was already tied up naked like a rice dumpling, and exclaimed: "What's going on?"

  "What's going on? Look at the good deed you've done!" Ximen Qing slightly lifted his cloak, revealing a glimpse of spring light: "Not to mention taking advantage of a drunken woman, but also leaving her with bruises all over, what a sadist you are!"

  The "civil woman" also cried on Ximen Qing's shoulder at the right time, and whispered: "Sir... sob... Li Huiniang's play is good or not... sob... When sir has time to come to Baifeng Tower... give sir a special performance... sob..."

  "This 'civilian girl' was naturally a familiar person borrowed by the teacher from the Baifang Building, and it was also the pear flower girl who often visited, one of the twelve heads of the Baifang Building. As for the bruises on her body, they were all painted by the teacher himself."

  The pear flower girl had long heard of the reputation of the west gate of the half street, today she saw it, and indeed it was like Pan An's face, tall and handsome, rich and one, decisively took the initiative to stick up and wipe twice, and tease by the way.

  "Take your acting seriously, don't overdo it." Ximen Qing's low voice was laced with a cold sternness: "Go when you have time."

  The pear flower girl then twisted and turned back, still covering her face and crying.

  Bai Song flipped his drunken eyes, as if remembering something: "You're not that Dong Men..."

  Ximen Qing gave a wink, and before Bai Cong could finish speaking, Niu Da's head swung forward, slapping two loud slaps on his ears: "The county magistrate is asking you questions! What's this about east gate and north gate? Be honest and confess, how did you rape the civilian woman!"

  This is great, Bai Song's just-stopped nosebleed started flowing again...

  It wasn't until now that Bai Song finally came to his senses, realizing that there was no Dongmen Ting at all. The guy standing in front of him with a sly smile on his face was actually Ximen Qing, who had bullied his own brother!

  But he himself was also deceived by Ximen Qing's treacherous tricks! However, what's the story with this purple-and-green bruised female commoner?

  "Oversee the grain allowance, oversee the grain allowance." Zhu Zhixian angrily said: "Bai Song! Is this how you oversee the grain allowance?"

  "Incompetence and drunkenness have led to mistakes!"

  "I broke into someone's house and raped their wife!"

  "Incompetent government, bullying women!"

  "Does our county still have laws if you don't take care of us?"

  Bai Song's sweat was like a thick paste, he hadn't expected that drinking a few rounds of wine would lead to so many charges. At this time, the two soldiers suddenly wailed and cried out: "Your Honor, it has nothing to do with us! It was all Bai Song who did evil, we have no relation to it!"

  "Let your birds fart!" Ximen Qing shouted: "Is it that your clothes fell on the ground by themselves?"

  The two soldiers were left speechless, unable to respond.

  The pear flower girl also fell to the ground, playing her part to the fullest: "Your Honor must do justice for the people's wife! These three men will take turns raping and humiliating the people's wife... Woe is me!"

  "Good!" Ximen Qing helped Li Huiniang up, and casually pinched her palm twice as a way of praising her performance: "Are you willing to be the main accuser?"

  "The lady is willing!" The pear flower girl also boldly responded to Ximen Qing, saying in a soft voice.

  "Master, you take over!" Magistrate Zhu ordered, pointing at the two soldiers: "You two, do you have anything else to say?"

  Two soldiers exchanged a look, originally following Bai Song to supervise the grain and salary, thinking it was a good job, but unexpectedly fell into this situation, so they gritted their teeth and pushed all the blame onto Bai Song's body. Who made this guy swear to avenge his brother?

  Under the pretext of supervising grain rations, collecting a little money, drinking a little wine, what's wrong with that?

  "Adults and petty men have something to say!" The two soldiers shouted in unison, hastily pouring dirty water on their superiors.

  "Your Honor, take down his confession!" Magistrate Zhu's face showed no trace of a smile, and in his heart he knew that the play had reached its climax.

  "You two, speak one by one!" The teacher took over the four treasures of the study, with a temporary office posture, and pointed at the two soldiers with a brush, shouting.

  What are you waiting for! Those two soldiers were like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, smearing all the filth on Bai Song's body. As long as they smeared all the dirt on themselves onto Bai Song's body, it was fine!

  From the relationship between Bai Song and Bai Taigong, to how Bai Song prepared to kill Ximen Qing, even the scene of Bai Song's evil deeds, these two goods are depicted vividly, as if they had really seen it with their own eyes.

  Bai Song listened to all of this, his swollen face gradually turned into a liver color. He thought these two goods were his confidants, but now they are playing with their lives and splashing dirty water on him.

  The two soldiers became more and more enthusiastic in their conversation, even revealing how Bai Song bullied the weak and extorted money within the army.
