Recap "The Lady in Butcher’s House" Episode 14

After Magistrate Zhu and the others left, Hu Jiao accompanied Mrs. Yang to the room, and also saw an unsightly scene. Soon Mrs. Yang's cry came from the room, Yu Niang didn't care about watching the play, but came to the next room to take care of Gao Zheng, and learned that he was poisoned by thieves.

Fortunately, Cui Wulang had seen this kind of poison in Jiangnan, so he planned to go to the military camp to invite him to treat him. Xu Qingjia took back the ledger and lit the lamp and stayed up all night to copy the contents, just in case of an accident. However, Hu Jiao found out that the account book was different, and decided that the silver mine in Shiyangzhai did not belong to the county magistrate Zhu, and it was very likely that he also took care of it for others, and the final account was handed over to the "owner".

However, Xu Qingjia also has a lot of heart. There are laws and orders in the current day, civil and military officials are divided into politics and cannot interfere with each other, so Cui Tai is so concerned about Shiyangzhai, lest he will not make the account book public after he gets it. Instead, use this as a bargaining chip in a transaction with the court.

It was because of this worst outcome that Xu Qingjia could not allow himself to be sloppy. After re-copying the ledger, he was relieved. At the same time, Cui Wulang mentioned the matter to his father in the tent, and took Lang Zhong back to Yuchun Building. Little did he know that he had just left, and Cui Tai turned around and reported the situation to Prince Ning.

Master Yang was caught by his wife and his face was full of flowers, and he had to go to the yamen to endure the reprimand of the magistrate Zhu. It turned out that the account book was empty, and it was obvious that someone had lost his bag. Cui Wulang took advantage of Langzhong to detoxify Gao Zheng, and saw through the window that the magistrate Zhu was leading people to Xu's house, so he hurried to inform.

Knowing that she would definitely not be able to leave, Xu Qingjia handed over the transcribed ledger to Cui Wulang and asked him to escort Hu Jiao out of the city first. But Hu Jiao saw the Heli book in Xu Qingjia's hand, and grabbed it and shredded it directly, representing the two of them as husband and wife in the future. However, under Xu Qingjia's persuasion, Hu Jiao left with Cui Wulang. She understood that staying was also a burden, so she had to go to Cui Tai to help save people.

The magistrate of Zhu arrested Xu Qingjia and Lamei on trumped-up charges, and Xu Qingjia was ready to die as if at home, not caring about her own safety at all. On the other hand, when Hu Jiao met Prince Ning in the military camp and mocked him in a rude manner, Prince Ning didn't mind, and even found it interesting.

Now that Cui Tai has read the ledger, such detailed evidence, coupled with the confessions of the people in Shiyangzhai, I believe that the magistrate of Zhu County will soon be able to subdue the law. Cui Tai immediately sent people to deliver the evidence to the prefect of Xiazhou, but it was really difficult for him as a military attache to rescue Xu Qingjia, and the civilian officials were responsible for solving it.

Considering that Xu Qingjia was the second best in the imperial court, and was famous for his fame, the magistrate of Zhu did not dare to use lynching rashly, and the only way Cui Tai could think of was to obtain the promise of Prince Ning before he could actually carry out the action. Prince Ning handed the jade card to Cui Tai, and at the same time told him to bring Xu Qingjia, wanting to see what the rumored second-ranking man could do.

Early the next morning, Cui Wulang was ordered to arrest the magistrate Zhu and others, and brought Xu Qingjia back to the barracks to meet Prince Ning. Hu Jiao learned through Yu Niang that both Xu Qingjia and Gao Zheng were taken away, she couldn't help thinking of Xu Qingjia's concerns last night, and decided to break into the army alone to rescue her husband.

At this time, Xu Qingjia came to the camp, and when he saw the man in white sitting in the right seat reading a book, he guessed that he was Prince Ning, who had made great military achievements in the dynasty. It is also Xu Qingjia's lofty aspirations that won the appreciation of Prince Ning. He has heard for a long time that this second-ranked man has declined the prime minister's daughter and returned to his hometown to marry the butcher's daughter. A good official who loves the people.

Prince Ning bluntly said that if Xu Qingjia can really benefit the people and don't do those crooked things, sooner or later, he will be a top minister. At present, Prince Ning has properly handled the affairs of Shiyangzhai, promising that there will be no corrupt people in the future, and that no matter who is involved, he will investigate to the end.

As soon as the words fell, news of someone robbing the camp came from outside the door. Lord Ning mistook it for Magistrate Zhu's troops and decided to fight in person. Unexpectedly, it was Hu Jiao who had only met last night. It was precisely because Prince Ning despised Hu Jiao's skills that she almost slashed the top of her hair with a knife. Fortunately, the misunderstanding was resolved later, thinking that Hu Jiao was eager to save her husband, and Xu Qingjia was wronged and imprisoned and made a great contribution, so she will no longer be held accountable. Instead, Xu Qingjia was appointed as a temporary magistrate, and he told Hu Jiao to accumulate virtue in the future.
