Chapter 301: Unwinnable lawsuits

The shopkeeper of the cloth village and the people watching the excitement, as well as Li Yinglong, they came to the gate of the Kaifeng County Government and stood up.

Li Yinglong pointed to the drum next to the door with his hand, and then said to the shopkeeper of the cloth shop: Shopkeeper Zhang, go and beat the drum.

Hearing this, the shopkeeper of Buzhuang asked hesitantly: Can you ------ it?

Li Yinglong said: You haven't sued yet, how do you know if it's okay, go and beat the drum.

Hearing this, the shopkeeper nodded and gritted his teeth: Okay, I'm out of the way.

I walked over and picked up the drum hammer and beat the drum with a "dong dong".

After a while, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps from the county hall, followed by the shouting of "ascending to the hall", and then a man's shout: Take the drummer to the hall.

Then I saw a servant dressed in green clothes running out of it and asking, "Who is beating the drum?"

The shopkeeper of the cloth village hurriedly stepped forward and answered: "Official, it is the drum played by the villain."

The official said: The magistrate sent you to the court, follow me.

The shopkeeper of the cloth village was a little panicked: yes, yes.

Then he walked in behind the officer.

Li Yinglong and the crowd of people watching the excitement also walked in.

On each side of the lobby stood several officials holding large boards, and behind the official desk sat an official of about forty years old wearing a five-grade official uniform.

The shopkeeper of Buzhuang came to the lobby and knelt down and kowtowed to the official, shouting: Zhang Tongshan, the grass people, see the county master.

Li Yinglong and the others came to the edge of the lobby and stood and watched inside.

The magistrate asked the shopkeeper of Buzhuang: Zhang Tongshan, why are you beating the drum?

The shopkeeper of the cloth village said: My lord, the villain is wronged, and he came to complain.

Zhixian Road: Hand over the paper.

The shopkeeper of the cloth village was busy and said: My lord, the villain hasn't had time to write the paper.

Hearing this, the magistrate grabbed the shocked wood and slapped it heavily on the case and shouted: What do you get if you don't have a complaint.

Li Yinglong answered in the hall and said: Lord Zhixian, what you said is not right, can't you sue without a complaint? You can listen to him.

Everyone shouted in unison: Listen to others.

The county magistrate had no choice but to say: Okay, tell me what grievances you have.

The shopkeeper of the cloth village was busy and said: My lord, the villain is the shopkeeper of Zhang Ji Buzhuang on North Street, just now, a group of people surnamed Dou led a group of people to break into my store and drive me out and rob the cloth village.

Hearing this, the county official was shocked and said: What, the blue sky is white, and the sky is bright, and there is an open robbery in the capital with open fire, isn't this the opposite.

After that, ask: Zhang Tongshan, are you telling the truth?

The shopkeeper said: The villain is telling the truth.

Li Yinglong answered: He is telling the truth, and we can prove it.

The crowd shouted: We can prove it.

The magistrate was shocked and shouted: Someone is coming.

The two catchers who didn't hold the board quickly walked out of the answer: The subordinates are here, what do you command?

Zhixian Road: The two of you quickly go to Zhangji Cloth Village on North Street and detain me the guy surnamed Dou who robbed other people's cloth villages.

The two catchers hurriedly replied: Yes, my lord.

In response, he turned around and walked out in a flash.

The chief Dou and the stout man sat at the table in the cloth shop drinking tea and chatting, and the two catchers quickly walked from the gate to the store and shouted loudly: Who is surnamed Dou?

Hearing this, Manager Dou was stunned, stood up from the chair and said: This manager is surnamed Dou, what's the matter?

The two catchers were stunned for a moment when they saw the chief manager of Dou, because the two of them knew the chief manager of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the first one hurriedly put a smile on his face, stepped forward and saluted: It's the chief manager of Dou.

After that, he turned his head and looked around the store and asked: Manager Dou, is there another surname Dou in this store?

Chief Dou said in a horizontal voice: No,

I'm the only one surnamed Dou in this store, what's the matter, is that surnamed Zhang going to your county government to sue the general manager?

Another quick flattery: Mr. Dou is smart, and he can guess it, yes, just now an old man named Zhang Tongshan said that you robbed his cloth village, and we knew that the county lord did not know that it was Mr. Dou, so he ordered our brothers to invite you to the county office.

Hearing this, the chief manager Dou slapped the table and said angrily: Who said that the chief manager robbed his cloth village, it was bought from him by the chief manager for 15,000 taels of silver.

Catch quickly said: We don't know about this, and ask Chief Dou to go to the county government with us to tell us in person.

Manager Dou said angrily: This manager is very busy, don't go!

Catch Kuaidao: Manager Dou, if you don't go, it's not easy for our brothers to have a bad relationship, besides, if you don't go, doesn't this prove that you are weak-hearted, and if you are empty-hearted, doesn't it prove that you didn't buy this cloth village but robbed it.

Dou Zongguan: I have a contract of sale, how can I rob it.

Catch Kuaidao: Manager Dou, it's useless for you to tell us, you still take the contract to the county government and tell our magistrate to go, don't you have nothing to do if you understand it, and you don't need to take out gold and silver from your boss Dou, just run a few more steps.

Hearing this, Manager Dou nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you, I'll see what kind of flowers that old guy can play."

With that, he pulled his legs and walked out.

The two arrests quickly took the chief manager of Dou into the hall of the Kaifeng County Ya, and the magistrate who was sitting behind the public case saw that the chief manager of the Prime Minister's Mansion was coming, and he was stunned, and hurriedly stood up to greet him and asked: Chief Dou, why are you here, is there something wrong?

Chief Dou said coldly: Lord Zhixian, didn't you send someone to pass me on.

Zhixian was stunned again, thought about it, and suddenly understood, turned his head to the shopkeeper of the cloth village who was kneeling on the ground and asked: Zhang Tongshan, is the person you sued who robbed your cloth village the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion?

The shopkeeper said: Yes, it's him.

Zhixian's face sank and he scolded: Nonsense, Chief Dou is the chief manager of the Prime Minister's Mansion, how noble his identity is, how could he rob your cloth village, did you sue the wrong person.

The shopkeeper of the cloth village said: I am not wrong, it is he who robbed my cloth village.

Li Yinglong answered: The higher the status, the most likely robbers, because they have backers and backstage, what about the dry grandmother, no one dares to investigate them if they commit a crime.

Chunlan smiled and said: Our uncle is right, the more people are five or six, and the more people who look like dogs, the darker their hearts, the worse they are, and pigs and dogs are not as good.

Zhang Yunfang glared at Chunlan: Just your girl talks a lot, quickly shut your mouth for me, and be careful if you talk more, I will cut off your tongue.

Chunlan was frightened and hurriedly reached out and covered her mouth.

The magistrate asked Mr. Dou: Mr. Dou, what is going on?

Mr. Dou pouted and said: This old thing is falsely accused, his Zhang Ji Buzhuang was sold to me, not me robbing him, I have a sales contract with him here.

Stretched out his hand and took out the piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Zhixian Dao: Wu Zhixian, you see, the white paper is written clearly in black and white, and there is a handprint he pressed underneath.

Wu Zhixian was furious after reading the contract, and turned his head to the shopkeeper of Buzhuang and said: How did you do it, this old man, since you have already sold the store to others, why did you come to sue people for robbing the store, this is a false accusation, is it a crime, do you know?

The shopkeeper said: I didn't write any contract with him, it was written by himself, and then invited me to drink, drunk me, and secretly pressed my handprint with my hand, which doesn't count, or why doesn't there be my signature on the contract.

Mr. Dou scolded: You old thing, why did you go back on your word, you sold the cloth village to me, but you came to sue me for robbing your cloth village, oh, I understand, I said I asked you to sign at the time, you said you don't have to be so troublesome, just press a handprint, it turns out that you are setting up a set

Hurt me.

After that, he said to Zhixian in a commanding tone: Wu Zhixian, how can you get this kind of Diao people if you don't punish him severely, first beat him with a hundred boards, and then put him in prison and never let him come out.

Wu Zhixian said: Manager Dou, the county has figured things out, it's none of your business, please go back.

Manager Dou didn't give up: No, I have to watch him finish beating a hundred boards before leaving, Wu Zhixian, fight quickly.

Wu Zhixian frowned: He is so old, is he still alive after a hundred boards, besides, his sin is not enough to hit a hundred boards.

Mr. Dou is arrogant: This kind of Diao people deserve to be killed, one less is killed, Wu Zhixian, you call me, I will carry it if something happens.

Wu Zhixian was angry, and said coldly: Chief Dou, beating people to death in the court, the county will lose its official position and be dismissed, and the heavy one will be sentenced to exile, will you carry this crime for me, will you carry it for me, don't you want to harm me?

Seeing that Wu Zhixian was angry, Manager Dou was embarrassed, and hurriedly said: It's so serious, then forget it.

turned his head to the shopkeeper of the cloth village who was kneeling on the ground and scolded: You are cheap, you old thing.

Twist and step out.

Chunlan pulled Li Yinglong and said anxiously: Uncle, just let him go.

Hearing this, Li Yinglong glared at her: You shut up for me.

Chunlan reluctantly closed her mouth.

Wu Zhixian walked back to the back of the public case and sat down, stretched out his hand and took out a bamboo stick from the stick holder and threw it under the hall and shouted: Come on, take this false accuser, and blame the five boards.

Two officials ran out from both sides, came forward to press the shopkeeper of the cloth village to the ground, and as soon as the officer picked up the board and hit, only to hear a few crisp sounds mixed with the screams of the shopkeeper of the cloth village.

Zhang Yunfang hurriedly stretched out his hands and grabbed one of Li Yinglong's arms, and whispered in fear: Yinglong, they beat him.

Li Yinglong smiled at her and comforted her: It doesn't matter, the five boards can't beat the bad guys.

After the fight, the two officials dragged the shopkeeper of the cloth village from the ground again.

Wu Zhixian shouted and asked: Zhang Tongshan, are you guilty?

The shopkeeper of the cloth village was busy saying: Guilty, big lord, villain is guilty.

Wu Zhixian asked: Then you still don't sue?

The shopkeeper of Buzhuang hurriedly said: Don't sue me, and I won't sue if I kill the villain.

Wu Zhixian waved his hand and shouted: Retreat!

Get up and leave your seat and walk into the back hall.

All the officials shouted in unison: Retire!

Then disperse.

Li Yinglong walked up from the hall and squatted down in front of the shopkeeper of the cloth village and asked: The shopkeeper, it doesn't matter.

The shopkeeper of Buzhuang said: No------ it doesn't matter, the five big boards can't die.

Turned his head and looked at Li Yinglong and said: Childe, you can see it, I can't win if I sue, and if I do, I will sue in vain.

The people in the hall who watched the excitement dispersed, leaving only Zhang Yunfang, Chunlan, Zhang Qinglian, Zhao Lian and the two girls in white and the shopkeeper of the restaurant.

Li Yinglong said: I know you can't win, but I can.

Hearing this, the shopkeeper of Buzhuang was stunned: You can win, what does it mean that the son is ------?

Li Yinglong said: Don't care what I mean, let me ask you, with your own strength, is it possible for you to take back your cloth village from the hands of the surnamed Dou?

The shopkeeper of the cloth village said: The meat bun beats the dog, there is no return, my cloth shop is surnamed Dou from now on, and I will never be surnamed Zhang again.

Li Yinglong nodded and said: In other words, you can't take back your cloth house, and you will lose it forever, and it will no longer belong to you, right?

The shopkeeper nodded and said: Yes, it is lost forever, it is no longer mine.

Li Yinglong said: Since this is the case, why don't you sell it again again.
