This is really a mountain and a mountain high, and there are even stronger players among the strongest.

When this honest-looking farmer walked up, his whole body was full of bronze, and this mouth knew that he was a king.

He can definitely be listed as the most arrogant criminal in the Ming Dynasty.

Not one of them.

Because scholars are arrogant, that is what they should be, and it is allowed by the system, and they cannot be said to be arrogant.

People have studied hard for ten years, in order to get something.

But it's not common for a farmer to be so horizontal.

After a brief silence, the surrounding area suddenly resounded with the sound of crusade.

He was sentenced for contempt of court and for an aggravated crime.

You're not from the village next door, but we're scholars!

But Jiang Yinglan felt a little embarrassed when he heard these crusades, just with the words of this farmer, he could indeed increase his guilt, but the problem is that the previous batch of prisoners were also very cross, your attitude is completely different, this double standard is really untechnical, so he glanced at Dong Ping.

Dong Ping immediately slapped the shocked wood a few times, "Quiet, quiet." ”

After the surroundings quieted down, Jiang Yinglan asked the farmer: "As far as this official knows, you don't know that person, why do you say that you still want to beat him, is someone behind your back?" ”

Whew!

All eyes were on Guo Dan.

And Guo Dan was still playing with his folding fan with his head down, completely ignoring their strange gazes.

The farmer shook his head and said, "There is no one to instruct the grass people, and the reason why the grass people still want to beat them is because they want to kill the grass people in the first place." ”

Jiang Yinglan was shocked and hurriedly said, "Why do you say that?" ”

The farmer said: "Back to the adult's words, the grass people's family is poor, a family of five, but the family only has three acres of land, last year's grain harvest was not harvested, the grass people helped the Zhang family in the west of the city to do more than half a year's work, but the Zhang family was arrogant and unreasonable, and refused to pay the arrears of the grass people's wages."

If you still have to pay taxes for the grass people, our family will starve to death, fortunately Guo Dan helped us pay taxes, our family can survive, Guo Dan is the life-saving benefactor of the grass people, and those scholars want to drive Guo Dan out of Kaifeng Mansion, if Guo Dan is driven away by them, who will help us pay taxes, isn't this forcing us to die. ”

A scholar on the side said excitedly: "You fool, how can you still be obsessed with it, you are falling for Guo Dan's tricks, he is spending money to deceive people's hearts, this is a common trick used by businessmen." ”

The farmer immediately glared angrily: "You are smart, then you will help us pay the taxes." ”

The scholar was so frightened that he almost didn't bite his tongue, and he wondered in his heart when this honest farmer had become so fierce.

The farmer pointed at him and said, "You scholars, full of benevolence and morality, speak better than anyone else, but over the years, so many people have starved to death in Kaifeng Mansion, and I haven't seen you scholars say a word for us, and it is you scholars who look down on us the most."

Guo Dan is different, Guo Dan is not only more handsome than you, but also young and promising, kind-hearted, approachable, although not as good at talking as you, but Guo Dan really has to help us again, not only to help us pay taxes, but also to help us find work. ”

Born handsome? Virtuous? Can't speak?

What you're licking is so unconscionable and disgusting.

Fang Cai, who was so scared that the scholar was angry, said: "You obviously accepted Guo Dan's money, maybe Guo Dan instructed you to beat people." ”

The farmer said: "Don't wronged people, Guo Dan has already helped me pay taxes, even if he wants to give me money, I won't ask for it, in fact, everyone in our Kaifeng Mansion is looking forward to Guo Dan coming soon, don't believe you ask everyone." ”

"Guo Dan!"

"Guo Dan!"

....．

A deafening shout rang out from the surroundings, and even the dust on the roof was jumping.

The scholars who were standing around were suddenly frightened, and when they looked back, they saw that the people behind them looked excited, raising their arms and shouting.

Only then did they realize that they were away from home.

It turned out that this station also followed the class of farmers and businessmen, and there were some talents, people or gentry standing nearby, but all the people behind were poor people.

Just now they are just entertaining themselves in their own small circle, getting carried away, thinking that they are more powerful.

Dong Ping and Jiang Yinglan looked at Guo Dan at the same time.

They can understand why Guo Dan is here in the market for trial, if the trial is in the government, the people who go to watch the trial are probably scholars, and the farmers can also occupy a place in the trial here!

And ninety percent of the civilians in Kaifeng Mansion are all towards Guo Dan, and there is no other reason, it is because Guo Dan helps them pay taxes.

Guo Dan blushed and said: "Don't look at me, I'm already very embarrassed, except for this face, I have tried my best to hide the other advantages, I never thought that they would find out, the eyes of this crowd are really bright." ”

I thought, Lao Tzu spent so much money, let them tell a few big truths, what.

Headache!

Dong Ping hated this public trial, but it was better to be in Jinyi and locked up in a small room for trial.

How can this be judged?

Dong Ping hurriedly asked people to take them down, and called the last group of people up, that is, those who dug ditches, dismantled water trucks, and robbed cattle.

"My lord, we confess our sins."

This time, before Dong Ping could speak, the middle-aged tall man surnamed Zhang Mingmin knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.

The people around him nodded their heads as well.

You can defend yourself!

Dong Ping now has a headache when he hears them admit their guilt, these people admit their guilt, he has to be punished, but if he wants to be punished, judging from the surrounding situation, it seems that it is not appropriate.

It's really hard to ride a tiger.

Jiang Yinglan saw that Dong Ping was wandering outside, so he asked, "Since you know that what you did was illegal, why did you do this?" ”

Zhang Min said: "If you go back to adulthood, we are admitting our guilt, but we are not admitting our mistakes. ”

Speaking, he pointed to Zhao Qinghe and other gentry and said: "These big landlords occupy the upstream water flow all the year round, resulting in our downstream ditches have been overgrown with weeds, and our villagers living in the downstream can only go to the river to dive for irrigation, but in the past few years, there has been drought every year, and it has become more and more difficult for us to carry water for irrigation.

Guo Dan has ordered them to rectify the ditch, but they turned a blind eye and tried to continue to occupy the water, we wanted to ask Guo Dan for help, but those citizens besieged the government again, and many people also spread rumors to slander Guo Dan, we couldn't bear to make Guo Dan any more trouble, so we went to fill their ditch ourselves.

They have harmed us for so many years, the waterwheel, the ploughing cattle are not as good as just in case, we know that this is a crime, but we are not afraid, anyway, we will die, so we can also fight for some water for the villagers. ”

He was impassioned and his words were chiseled, only to see that many people in the crowd began to wipe their tears, this word was their heartfelt words, all of them were red-eyed, staring at Jiang Yinglan and Dong Ping.

You judge!

See what you say!

Jiang Yinglan glanced at Zhao Qinghe and the others on the side, only to see that they all looked at each other, sighed in his heart, and asked Dong Ping and Guo Dan in a low voice, "What do you two think?" ”

Dong Ping is life has nothing to love and said: "I am a martial artist, I am really powerless, Jiang just decides to do it." ”

Isn't Wufu great, and he doesn't look at who sits next to you. Guo Dan said: "I'm a businessman, so I don't understand it even more, just decide, no matter what decision you make, we will support you." ”

Jiang Yinglan knew that they didn't want to be responsible, but he wasn't the kind of person who liked to evade responsibility, but he felt that this case had to be considered at its discretion and should not be dealt with as a crime.

But they have all confessed their sins, and it seems that it is not good to deal with them regardless of their sins.

"Huh!"

At this moment, a laugh suddenly sounded on the sidelines.

Jiang Yinglan turned his head to look at it, only to see a pale-faced old man with a cane and laughing, he hurriedly got up, bowed and said, "Ying Liang has seen Mr. Su." ”

Huang Daxiao also stood up and saluted, "Teacher." ”

This change suddenly made the surrounding whispers, and when many readers learned that it was Su Xu, their eyes gradually became hot, as if fans had seen an idol.

Guo Dan glanced at the old man and thought, it seems that this old man is Huang Daxiao's mentor. Cheer up now.

And in front of a window of a two-story restaurant on the side, there was a stunning young woman, it was Aunt Xu, she couldn't help frowning slightly when she saw Su Xu appear: "He shouldn't have come out." ”

Su Xu first nodded to Huang Daxiao, and then arched his hand to Jiang Yinglan and said, "The old man happened to be passing by here, so he came over to take a look, if there is anything to disturb, I hope that Lord Jiang Haihan." ”

"How dare you, how dare you."

Jiang Yinglan arched his hand again, groaned slightly, and asked, "I don't know why Old Mr. Su is laughing?" ”

Su Xu was silent.

Jiang Yinglan said again: "The old gentleman might as well say it directly, it just so happens that the younger generation doesn't know how to judge." ”

Su Xu hesitated for a moment and said, "The reason why the old man laughed was because he felt that this trial was ridiculous, how could there be a culprit in this world to judge the victims. ”

Jiang Yinglan frowned slightly and asked, "What did the old gentleman say about this?" ”

Su Xu said: "The old man just listened to it, although those people have violated the law, but they all have a reason, and the reason is not in this matter, nor on them, but in the imperial court." The county system, which had been inherited for thousands of years, suddenly became a contract to a businessman, and it was difficult for anyone to adapt to it in a moment.

Let's just say that those people who besieged the government office, if it was not a businessman who seized the store at that time, but the prefect of Kaifeng, would they still be so excited? The old man thought that even if they were dissatisfied, they would never besiege the government. If they hadn't, it wouldn't have happened.

Each of them is not only innocent, but also a victim.

Of course, the old decay is not to say, this is the fault of the imperial court, the imperial court's arrangement, naturally has the intention of the imperial court, from the current point of view, the local people are deeply benefited, but the imperial court so arranged, it will naturally cause such things, the old decay heard that similar things happened in Weihui Mansion at the beginning, but the imperial court did not pursue it at that time. ”

When he spoke, the people around him nodded frequently, and their admiration jumped on the page.

This is very reasonable, it was the court that broke the rules first, and this series of things is not that everyone deliberately wants to break the law, but that it is difficult to adapt for a while, and it is also a matter of asking the court to be held accountable.

Guo Dan listened humbly on the surface, but he was playing the drum in his heart, how could I think something was wrong with this.

Jiang Yinglan listened, thought carefully for a while, and suddenly bowed: "Mr. Su's words made Ying Lian suddenly open. ”

Su Xu hurriedly bowed his hand back: "Don't dare, don't dare, the old man is no longer an official in the court, and now he is just a cloth cloth, and he is just an old man with a humble opinion, how to judge, I have to rely on all the adults!" ”

At this point, he glanced at Guo Dan slightly, and the smile on his face became even stronger.

Aunt Xu in front of the window on the second floor suddenly sighed and looked depressed: "What an old fox!" It turned out that he didn't want to establish authority for Huang Daxiao at all, but wanted the dragon to cross the river. ”
