"Master, what's wrong with you!"

When Steward Zhang saw the sudden situation of the Fourteenth Master Zhang, he immediately rushed over in a panic, and looked at the Fourteenth Master who was fine just now with great concern.

"Mixed ...... ￥%#”

Zhang Shishiye's face was crooked, and his mouth seemed to want to say something, but it had become vague, and his mouth was overflowing, giving people the feeling of being a fool.

Stroke!

After the experienced people saw Zhang Shishiye's situation, they were immediately dumbfounded, and turned their heads to look at the personable old man Meng Zhao in a complicated way.

But he never expected that this Guangdong person would be so violent, and a few words would make Zhang Shishiye, the highest-ranking Zhang in the Zhang family, have a stroke.

"Quick, quick, send to the hospital!"

Steward Zhang also guessed the result, but he panicked and instructed the house slaves.

The house slaves of the Zhang family did not dare to slack off, and when they lifted Zhang Shishiye, who was sitting on the sliding pole, hurried through the crowd, intending to send the person to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.

Meng Zhao didn't expect this result, but he just thought that this old man was not a good thing, and if he could die with a whimper, it would not be to save a poor girl, so he said coldly: "Look! At the age of eighty, I still want to drag down other little girls, retribution is coming! ”

The surrounding people listened to this statement, and they also followed his train of thought, and recognized this "retribution theory" one after another, but they no longer sympathized with the experience of this Zhang Shishiye.

Uh-huh......

Zhang Shiye lay back in his chair, but he was restless about what to say.

"Fourteenth Master, I know what to do!" Steward Zhang comforted him, Zhang Fourteen Ye really stopped making trouble, and seeing Zhang Fourteen Ye being carried away, Steward Zhang immediately gritted his teeth and pointed at Meng Zhao and said, "It's really brave!" Today, I will let you know the ability of my Zhang family, even if you are a lifter, you don't want to leave Taixing again. ”

At this moment, how can he still give up with Meng Zhao. Whether it is to defend the majesty of the Zhang family, or to vent this evil breath for Zhang Shishiye, he must make Meng Zhao pay a certain price.

"Joke! The stroke is the invasion of the wind evil, this is retribution, what does it have to do with me? Meng Zhao faced the accusation and immediately cleared himself.

The people already believed in the "retribution theory", and they understood that the stroke was caused by the invasion of wind evil, but when they saw that Steward Zhang was already furious, they couldn't help but look at Meng Zhao with worry.

Steward Zhang has never been a reasonable person, so he naturally refused to let go of Meng Zhao, pointed to Meng Zhao's nose and said: "It is clear that you are disrespectful, causing my Zhang family's fourteenth master to have a stroke, even if the gods come today, it will not protect you." ”

"I'm just telling the truth, what's the sin? In this great law, there is no one who has been convicted for telling a few words of truth, let alone because of someone else's stroke! Meng Zhao has already entered the officialdom with half a foot, and he is very familiar with the "Da Ming Law", so he immediately defended himself.

I have to say that Meng Zhao is indeed different from ordinary readers, and his eloquence can be described as quite remarkable. In just a few words, he had already picked himself up.

Steward Zhang didn't understand the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and he also knew that he couldn't compete with this person, so he turned to Cao Xiancheng and said: "Lord County, please also preside over justice for my Zhang family and the fourteenth master!" ”

The people in the hall looked at Cao Xiancheng one after another, and they also wanted to see how the second master would make a ruling.

Like an outsider, Lin Haoran stood silently in front of the crowd, indifferently watching everything that happened in front of him.

Cao Xiancheng changed his gentle image just now, and immediately accused Meng Zhao: "The dignified people don't know how to check, and they just instruct the house slaves to beat others on the street, and now they are still making nonsense in the public court, causing Zhang Shishiye, the first townsman in Taixing, to suffer from stroke." As Taixing's parent official, how can this county be spared by you? Come on, temporarily put this person in prison, and let the governor of this county, Lord Zhou, decide again! ”

But no matter how much he favors the Zhang family, how he wants to directly bring the edict to justice. It's just that the matter involves the sentencing of a person, but it is not something that he, a small county magistrate, can easily sentence.

Only by presenting the original situation of the matter, and receiving instructions from above, can he sentence Meng Zhao. If not, he would at most be imprisoned for a while.

This......

The people in the hall also sighed secretly in their hearts, this Cao County Cheng and the Zhang family were really complicit, and they still took action against this righteous person.

Meng Zhao's brows furrowed slightly, although he has a reputation for making meritorious contributions, and the other party cannot punish him, but collecting these charges can indeed bring him to prison.

Just thinking about the teacher standing behind him, he didn't have the slightest fear in his heart, but he didn't know if the teacher would make a move at this time?

The two officials stepped forward to take Meng Zhao into prison.

"Lord County, the fourteenth master of my family suddenly fell ill, please allow me to bring Li Xiaoyun back to the fourteenth master to rejoice!" Steward Zhang was obsessed with Li Xiaoyun, and then he asked again.

Meng Zhao's face changed slightly, and he immediately said in a deep voice: "Didn't the thirty taels just now already be returned to you for her?" ”

"Your thirty taels are not enough for our soup and medicine!" Steward Zhang didn't smile at the skin, and looked disdainful.

Cao Xiancheng glanced at Li Xiaoyun in the hall, and said lightly: "Since this is the case, then you can take it back!" ”

This......

The people in the hall looked at this verdict, but they couldn't help but be dumbfounded. The edict just now was barely reasonable, but he actually pushed Li Xiaoyun into the fire pit, and this Cao County was clearly aiding and abusing.

Li Xiaoyun didn't expect things to change so quickly, he first turned his head and glanced at Lin Haoran, looking at Lin Haoran's indifferent appearance, even if he wanted to escape from here.

It's just that Steward Zhang seems to have made arrangements for a long time, and the two housekeepers are guarding the door one left and one right, watching Li Xiaoyun suddenly rush over, and they just catch her.

Yes......

Li Xiaoyun was like a puppy, biting the elbow of one of the family members, and the pain was so painful that the family raised his other hand and was about to fan Li Xiaohua, but the palm he raised was grabbed by the iron pillar.

Before the family member could react, Tie Zhu put his hand behind his back and threw the other family member to the ground, easily knocking the two family members to the ground.

"Presumptuous, take them down!" Cao Xiancheng watched the two members of the Zhang family fall down, and immediately angrily instructed the Yachadao.

Lin Haoran looked at everything that happened in front of him, and sighed gloomily in his heart.

At present, there are many problems in the Ming Dynasty, such as Cao Yun and Yan Zheng, but the problems of the official gentry are becoming more and more prominent. The Zhang family is not an isolated case, but a relatively common phenomenon in the Ming Dynasty.

These gentry families, even if the officials they relied on retired from the imperial court, still had influence that county officials feared. By inserting children into the county government or co-opting county officials, etc., they can reach the degree of influencing the decision-making of the county government.

It's just that human nature has always been greedy, and they will not only steal the power of the county government, but also steal the wealth of the local government.

If the resources of a county are fixed, once most of them are taken up by these emerging gentry families, this will greatly compress the living space of other people, and will undoubtedly bury hidden dangers for the Ming Dynasty.

Perhaps it is not obvious enough in the small official gentry family of the Zhang family in Taixing, like the family of the former Shoufu Yan Song and the current Shoufu Xu Jie's family in the local area, the former has reached one million mu, and the latter is also hundreds of thousands of mu.

"Yes!"

Several officials obeyed Cao Xiancheng's instructions and immediately pounced like wolves.

Lin Haoran watched Cao Xiancheng behave like this, and saw that a few yacha wanted to grab the latte pillar for the Zhang family, and immediately his face sank like water, and secretly placed his qi in the dantian.

"Wait!"

It was at this moment that a shadow flashed in from outside the door, and a voice full of majesty was heard.

But I saw a middle-aged official wearing a seven-grade official uniform walking in, he was about forty years old, fair-skinned, tall, and resolutely it was Shi Song, Taixing Zhixian County.
