The cause of the fire was that the grass house of the stable caught fire for some reason, and the fire was quite vigorous when it burned, and the fire dragon was flying, and the fodder burned almost as soon as the fire was almost burned, and the fire was easy to control, and the large buckets of water were poured into the stable, and the vitality of the entire county government was all used, and the fire was finally controlled.

The place where the fire is still burning is next to the prison! The prisoners have no way to retreat, although the prisoners inside are all waiting for the guilt, but how to die is taken by the law of the Great Song Dynasty, not by a fire and killed!

This is not the point, the point is that there are masked gangsters in the dignified Xinghua Prison! What kind of concept is this, which is equivalent to a robber daring to go to the city hall casually! This is the old face of Xinghua's parents and officials, the dignified county government and being taken advantage of by others, who will guarantee the security of the people!

The county magistrate was very angry, and he scolded the county lieutenant with his head and face, and ordered him to solve the case within a time limit and arrest this gang of thieves, otherwise, hum!

Liang Chuan leaned against the wall and squinted for a while, and suddenly woke up, covered in cold sweat. His eyelids opened suddenly, the roof was empty, and the dazzling sunlight shook his eyes, and the sky was already bright! Stretching his waist, Liang Chuan felt that his body was almost no longer his own, his waist and knees were sore, and his whole body hurt very uncomfortably, and if he slept like this for another night, he might not be able to wake up, and the knife wounds on his body were more painful after waking up now, and the hot and hot stimulated the nerves.

The whole cell was scared enough last night, and after the fire was extinguished, after fighting off the masked gangsters, they regained their calm, and there was no difference, it was just that one prisoner was hacked to death. The probability of being struck by lightning in the prison has been robbed, Xinghua County has encountered it for the first time in so many years, and now the limelight has passed, everyone is basically eating, sleeping, sleeping, eating, and having no vitality at all. Under the modern scientific prison management system, prisoners also have activities such as letting off the wind and running drills, compared to ancient prisons, everyone is locked up and can do nothing.

Liang Chuan got up and moved a little, stretched his muscles and bones, yesterday it was full of water everywhere, too yin and tide, lack of exercise and other activities, stay in this kind of place for a long time and don't need to judge, the body will get some rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases, this kind of chronic disease is painful, at that time I will be eager to have a knife.

Porridge was sent from the prison, as thin as water, and the grains of rice in it were countable. After eating a hearty and unforgettable meal like yesterday's, no one will be interested in such porridge anymore.

Liang Chuan took a look at the porridge, the porridge bucket had a thick layer of black dirt, the barrel body seemed to have not been cleaned for many years, a foul smell emanated from the bucket, Liang Chuan looked at it, and almost vomited.

Liang Chuan leaned against the wall, retching, and the door of the prison slammed open. The strong sunlight took advantage of the opportunity to shine in, and everyone sleeping inside turned over with a frown and continued to sleep.

A large group of catchers rushed in, and the bearded catcher surnamed Li finally swaggered in, the sunlight in the background was very dazzling, making people unable to see his expression clearly, only to hear the bearded man say: "The county has an order, take someone to commit Liang Chuan to ascend to the court!" ”

The two catchers gave Liang Chuan a small wooden shackle, just like today's handcuffs, although the design is not very ingenious, but the purpose is only to control Liang Chuan to prevent the outbreak from hurting people. But after observing for a long time, the beast was injured, but it looked calm and did not behave unusually.

Liang Chuan knew that he was in prison and struggled again in exchange for a big punishment, so he controlled himself, he fought like killing a pig, and now he cooperates a little, first, to fight for an impression score, and secondly, to take one step at a time anyway, life and death are fate.

When he came out of the prison, all the eyes of everyone were fixed on Liang Chuan, and the cases of other people were often not promoted for three or five months, and he came in faster than he could!

Walking out of the Xinghua cell, the wind outside was a little cold, but breathing fresh air made people feel a lot more relaxed. The two fast catchers grabbed Liang Chuan's arm and led him up to the lobby.

The lobby is in the middle of the Xinghua County Ya, boxy, high eaves and green tiles, there is a big drum in front of the lobby, the drum surface is scarred, a drum hammer is placed on the drum stand, the drum handle is shiny and shiny, and it is covered with pulp. The population of Xinghua is not a few, including several surrounding townships, which shows that there are not a few disputes in Xinghua on weekdays.

Last night, a fire almost set these buildings on fire!

Fortunately, the fire was suppressed in time, and it burned through the cell, but the other warehouses were not seriously damaged.

In ancient times, public court trials were conducted in open court, and ordinary people had to submit a complaint if they wanted to file a lawsuit. The so-called pleadings, officially called "pleadings," resemble today's indictments. This pleading, two pieces of paper, the cause of action and facts are clear, strictly follow the legal format of the pleadings, many civil documents are from the lawyer, flat-headed grass people, how many literate?

Catch quickly brought Liang Chuan to the front of the hall, and there were many people in the outer three circles of the public hall, and the strong onlookers were indeed a good habit inherited by the Chinese people for thousands of years. Liang Chuan thought at first that these people were watching him, but after watching for a long time, he realized that it was not, it was an earlier case, and several people knelt in front of the public case in the lobby, including men and women.

Liang Chuan stood tall behind, barely able to see a little, most of them were blocked by the people, and he could only listen to the sound.

Above the public hall, a large plaque hung in the middle, on which it was written that the mirror was hanging high. There is a green-robed old man sitting below, with two long small wings behind the veil hat on his head and conspicuous appearance, shaking and shaking, as if he is singing with the troupe, it turns out that it is really like this, which is a bit distinctive.

According to legend, this kind of hat was designed by Taizu Zhao Kuangyin to prevent the ministers from talking to each other, and then sent someone to design this style of hat. On the desk in front of him are the striking wood, the signature holder, the printing box, the printing pad on the printing stand, the red and black inkstone and the pen holder that have been ground in ink.

This should be the county magistrate, it is said that this county magistrate's surname is Song, his name is Song Guangdou, he is fifty or sixty years old, he has a big beard, his eyes are so small that he can't see it, and he can't tell whether he is happy or unhappy with an old face.

There are also several small public cases on the side, and there is a row of people wearing official uniforms with blue and green colors, which should be other chief officials in the county.

Is it difficult to represent the trial of ancient times also collective deliberation, and then the boss makes a decision?

At the foot of the hall knelt several men and women, one of whom had a fat head and big ears, and wore a mink coat with a fine brocade bag hanging from his waist. The other is delicate, wearing a fluttering shirt, a round neck and big sleeves, and a piece of jade jade. The one standing on the edge is a mediocre farmer, dressed like Liang Chuan, and he can't find it if he puts it in the crowd.

The three of them have nothing to do with each other, as if they hate each other when they look at each other, there are two women kneeling on the right side of the case, one has a beautiful face, young and beautiful, and the other is in his early forties, with high cheekbones, and at first glance the face is the appearance of Kefu, the young woman knelt on the ground with a resolute expression and did not say a word, and the older one was crying and crying, looking for death and life.

Liang Chuan has been in the police station for a long time, there are men and women, women crying and crying, at first glance it must be a neighborhood or family dispute, no matter how this kind of case is handled, there is no degree of good handling, no matter how it will offend people, thankless, Qing officials are difficult to judge family affairs have been passed down for a long time.

Last night, there was a fire in Xinghua County, and a fire almost burned through the Xinghua prison. The crying of the middle-aged woman in the public court made him feel even more depressed, and he wanted to deal with these things quickly in the early morning and go back to make up for his sleep beautifully.

After playing with his nails for a while, the county magistrate said, "Smack!" He slapped the startling wood hard, and a loud bang echoed for a long time, and everyone was shocked.

The county magistrate's eyes were wrinkled, he glanced at a few people in the hall, and asked tepidly, "Who is the complainant in the hall?" Give the cause of the case to the official in detail. ”

On the left side of the public case, the fat man and the scholar replied almost at the same time: "My lord, the grass people (late students) have something to complain!" The two men replied at the same time, and inadvertently glanced at each other, their eyes full of the smell of gunpowder, and quickly turned their heads away.

When the magistrate heard this, two of them came to sue at the same time, so he pointed at the fat man and said, "You say it first." ”

The fat man took a step forward, dusted off the ashes on his body, and said with a smug look on his face: "Lord Huizhi County, the grass people's name is Su Cheng, he is a native of Hangzhou on Liangzhejiang Road, he grew up in Hangzhou since he was a child, and his father and the father of the defendant Huang Su'e said that he is the husband of Huang Wang's family, and he has been in Hangzhou together since he was twenty years old. ”

Su Cheng paused for a moment, and then said: "At that time, my father and Uncle Huang were eating and sleeping together, and their relationship was like siblings. ”

Su Cheng glanced at the beauty Huang Su'e who was kneeling on the ground, Huang Su'e ignored it, Su Cheng continued: "It's a pity that things changed later, Uncle Huang received a letter from home saying that there was a big change in the family, and he rushed back to Xinghua in a hurry, and my father has never seen Uncle Huang since then, this goodbye is twenty years." Fortunately, with the blessing of his ancestors, his father's business is getting bigger and bigger, and he is now a figure with a head and face in Hangzhou. ”

After speaking, he dusted off his gorgeous clothes again, for fear that the people around him would not be able to see it. "My father is very old, and the grass people's lifelong affairs can not be solved, and I often listen to my father's teachings about how to get along with Uncle Huang back then, and not to betray the Jinlan oath of the year, so the grass people brought a group of servants and tall horses from Hangzhou to your Xinghua, which is to prepare to marry Huang Su'e as a wife, in order to tell my father the regrets of the year."

Su Cheng looked like a fat man with a fat head and big ears, but he spoke in a set way, and he was very incendiary, and sure enough, there was no one who did business and would not fool.

Su Cheng almost burst into tears after speaking, but suddenly the words changed: "Who knew that when the grass people came to Xinghua to inquire, Uncle Huang had already passed away, leaving only a daughter." At that time, Uncle Huang had already received a gold ingot from his father for the purpose of marrying in the future, and this Huang Wang's family actually allowed his daughter to others without authorization, which was really hateful. Fingertips for marriage first, I hope that the adults will see it and give this Huang Su'e to the grass people! ”
