Text Chapter 292 The First Fire
Under the platform, the people applauded endlessly, Zhang Putian did not do bad things on weekdays, the people of Fuluo County dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, today I saw that the county order deliberately put Zhang Putian to death, how could I be afraid, one by one scolded, and several bad things that Zhang Putian had done, if it were not for the officials to stop them, some people would like to do it themselves.
Zhang Putian endured it strongly, and after six rounds of twenty-four servants, he was not dead yet, and he was lying on the ground moaning without a sound. Everyone in the lobby looked at Jiang Anyi, whose face was pale, and no one dared to speak out, for fear that the county master's anger would attack on him.
Yan Kaichen stroked his beard quietly, despising him in his heart, the hairy boy was still short of practice, young and impetuous, and the more angry he was, the easier it was to deal with, and he still looked down on him in vain; Wang Xiancheng's face was happy, Jiang Anyi intended to kill Zhang Putian, seeing that the surrounding officials and officials were angry, the new county order offended them, and it would be difficult to move an inch in Fuluo County. Master Liu's eyes were lowered, and the county lieutenant Qin sat beside him, and occasionally he could hear a slight fuziyun from his mouth, this one was reciting it.
Qin Zixiong was a little excited, he had long wanted to teach this gang of bastards a lesson, he just came to Fuluo County two years ago, and he also planned to arrest Xu Mingyuan and eradicate Fuluo's malignant tumor, but before he could act, he was led by Xu Mingyuan to break into his residence that night and beat him, and this Zhang Putian outside the door blatantly laughed and laughed with Xu Mingyuan. Looking for Yan County to be the master, how do you know that Yan Kaichen has accepted Xu Mingyuan's benefits, but he wants not to cause trouble and defile the good people. In a fit of rage, Qin Zi was discouraged and only thought about spending time with wine and mixing his tenure.
The stone slipped quietly behind Jiang Anyi and told Jiang Anyi what he had discovered, not that no one complained, but that there was no one in the entire Fuluo County who could write the paper. Jiang An was extremely angry, and said in a low voice: "You go and ask Mr. Zhang to set up a stall in front of the county yamen and write for people for free." ”
The stone led the order out, Jiang Anyi felt a flame in his chest, and looked at the people in the hall, all of them had hateful faces. Their eyes swept over everyone, and everyone felt the murderous intent in Jiang Anyi's eyes, and lowered their heads one by one, not daring to make a sound.
"He Qiangren", hearing the voice of Jiang County's order, He Qiangren was frightened, originally kneeling on the ground, but now he collapsed directly, scolding himself in his heart for what he could do, and refuted the face of the grandfather in the court.
"He Qiangren, the officials in this hall have all made a move, and this Putian just didn't confess to assassinating the county and colluding with Xu Mingyuan's fish and meat villagers. You are friends with that guy, today this master gave you a chance, took a stick and went outside, if that Zhang Putian didn't confess, you would go with Zhang Putian as a companion. ”
Jiang Anyi's cold words came from the lobby, making everyone's hearts cold, but He Qiangren was as clear as Feng Lunyin, straightened up and responded loudly: "Little honorable order." ”
Yan Kaichen couldn't sit still, let Jiang Anyi blindly exert his authority, these officials and officials were afraid of obscenity, and threw themselves to Jiang Anyi, afraid that they would be difficult to get out at that time. Thinking of this, Yan Kaichen stood up and arched his hand and said: "Lord Jiang, the state has national laws, this Zhang Putian has already been punished too much, and if he wants to fight again, he is afraid that his life will not be guaranteed." This "Da Zheng Law" stipulates that the death of a prisoner caused by personal torture, seizure of office, fines and even misappropriation, please think twice. ”
"Da Zheng Law" does have this provision, but in most cases, the county order will not be held accountable for the prisoner, let alone the county order can prevaricate by finding a reason. Jiang Anyi thought for a moment, today he has become a tiger, if he stops, he will definitely be laughed at by these officials and officials, even the prisoners in the hall will not be afraid of themselves, let alone ask about the case.
Thinking of this, Jiang Anyi smiled and said: "Gong Yan, please sit down, thank you for your kind reminder, Zhang Putian's crime is conclusive, and he is quite capable of surviving the sentence, and the official scolded him for personal gain. He Qiangren, you have to be careful, don't Zhang Putian be beaten to death by you without confessing. ”
He Qiangren scolded secretly, this is to carry the black pot by himself, but the meaning of Jiang County's order is obvious, he doesn't want Zhang Putian to live. Dead friends do not die poor Dao, this is the principle of many people's life, and He Qiangren is one of them. When he came outside, he whispered to Zhang Putian: "Brother, I'm sorry, it's the master who wants your life, if you don't die, I won't be able to live, don't tell the wrong person when you get to the Hades Palace." ”
With a few sticks of death force rushing down the lumbar vertebrae, Zhang Putian was already dying, and after a few hits, his hands struggled, and he couldn't survive. He Qiangren hurriedly threw away the stick, bent down and leaned over to Zhang Putian's mouth, pretended to nod again and again, and sighed: "Brother Zhang, if you had confessed a long time ago, why suffer this crime, I will report it to the adults." ”
The spectators under the platform saw that Zhang Putian had been recruited, and they all applauded loudly.
He Qiangren walked into the lobby and bowed his hand: "My lord, that Zhang Putian has already confessed that he was interested in Xu Mingyuan and deliberately wanted to shoot the adult." ”
"Okay, let him draw. Prisoners were imprisoned. ”
A scribe wrote a confession according to He Qiangren's intentions, He Qiangren took it, forcibly pressed Zhang Putian's hand stained with blood and covered his handprint, Zhang Putian was already angry and didn't go in, and was thrown back to the prison by two officials, and he couldn't stand it tonight, but the wall fell down and everyone pushed it, except for his family, no one would ask him whether he lived or died.
Everyone in the hall felt that there was a chill on the back of the spine, this young county magistrate was not a good type, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was careless of people's lives, but his methods were like accumulating old officials, so that people could not make mistakes. Such a character, everyone thought it was a soft man who wanted to handle it, but now it seems to be a chestnut shell, don't hurt yourself. The lobby was very depressed, and the sound of heavy breathing was like the wind in the lobby.
Jiang Anyi looked at the women who were raided by the Xu Mansion, and said in a soft voice: "You and other weak women were coerced by Xu Mingyuan, this official forgives you and others for not guilty, those who have relatives in the family will take them back, and those who have no family will live in the Yin Hotel first, and wait for the official to fall." ”
The women were originally worried, and Zhang Putian's incident scared them out of the body, but they didn't expect the county lord to let them go gently, and the women were grateful, and they bowed down to thank them. Jiang Anyi said coldly: "If any of you can tell the dirty things of the Xu Mansion, there are many awards in this county." ”
Among the women, they hesitated to look at each other, and one of the servants said boldly: "My lord, the little girl is the cook of the Xu family, and in August last year, I accidentally saw Xu Mingyuan beat a medicine merchant to death and buried him under the flower in the garden. ”
"Okay, two taels of silver. Lin Qiang, the county temporarily ordered you to act as the head of the capital, and take a few brothers to dig up the corpse according to what this woman said. Jiang Anyi commanded.
Lin Qiangqiang was overjoyed, but he didn't expect the county lord to look down on himself and order himself to be the head of the capital, which had to sell his strength. After receiving the signing order, I went to the fast class and found a few people to go to Xu's mansion.
Seeing that there was really a reward, the women argued and said it away, Jiang Anyi ordered the scribes to write it down one by one, and the men on the other side couldn't help it, and someone shouted: "My lord, I also know the bad things Xu Mingyuan has done, and I am willing to report the meritorious service to atone for my crimes." ”
The lobby was lively, and the outside of the yamen also began to be lively. There is an extra table next to Xuanhuafang, and there is a silver-faced man sitting at the back of the table, and someone behind the silver-faced man is holding a couplet, which reads "Avenge grievances for the people, write pleadings for free".
Huang Dongquan stood next to Mr. Zhang, foaming at the mouth and saying to the passers-by: "Today, the eldest master ascended to the court, and presided over the trial of Xu Mingyuan's case of bullying the fish and meat villagers in the city. Those who have grievances seized the opportunity to go to court to complain. ”
It just so happened that someone came out of the lobby, and his eyebrows fluttered to everyone to learn that the county lord was powerful, and beat Zhang Putian half to death, Zhang Putian pleaded guilty in court, and now the woman of Xu's mansion and Xu Mingyuan's subordinates in the lobby are rushing to expose Xu Mingyuan.
Xu Mingyuan has been rampant in Fuluo County for more than ten years, and he has done countless bad things, which shop on the street has not been charged, and immediately, everyone flocked to Zhang Keji to write a statement.
Huang Dongquan was so anxious that he shouted: "You don't have to crowd, line up, 'Mr. Yin' has been there all day, don't worry." "Some officials knew that Huang Dongquan was a relative of the county magistrate, and they hurriedly ran over to help maintain order. Looking at Zhang Keji's situation after listening to the wrongdoer, he didn't add any points, and a complaint was written in a moment.
The man took the paper and went straight to the lobby, shouting under the platform, "The little people are wronged, please call the shots." ”
Everyone in the hall was stunned, and everyone knew that the scribes did not write pleadings, so why would someone in the hall complain. The official standing in front of the hall shouted, "There can be a paper." A letter of paper with fresh pen and ink was presented, and the official had no choice but to enter and present the paper: "Master, there are people outside to avenge their grievances." ”
Jiang Anyi took the paper and looked at it, Zhang Keji's handwriting, Long Feifeng Wu had a good hand, and if he looked at the paper carefully, it was a case in which Xu Mingyuan connived at his subordinates to forcibly buy medicinal materials and kill people. Shocked by the wood, Jiang Anyi shouted: "Take the plaintiff." ”
The plaintiff had just knelt down here, and someone outside shouted injustice, and when the second one arrived, he still sued Xu Mingyuan. There was no room for so many people in the lobby, so Jiang Anyi ordered: "Temporarily take the people arrested by the Xu Mansion into custody, let the scribe go to record the case, and the person who filed the complaint will be tried first in the lobby." ”
The complainant continued, and Jiang Anyi received more than 20 letters of pleadings in less than half an hour, which seemed to be only a small part. The time was almost noon, Jiang Anyi said: "There are so many people who complain today, it is really beyond my expectations, Wang Xiancheng, please collect and classify these papers, and then the county will be promoted to the court in five days." ”
Jiang Anyi retreated, everyone looked at each other in horror, the new county order was surprisingly strong, the original plan was probably not good, and those who knew the times were Junjie, and it was the best policy to come to the door early to beg for mercy.
Yan Kaichen closed his eyes weakly, the situation in front of him was no longer something he could control, Jiang Anyi's first torch was lit, and it was burning very strongly, under the raging flames, I don't know how many people will die in it, I must be very careful, don't be a moth in this fire.
