Chapter 51: Interrogating the County Magistrate!
In the face of the anger of this Gonggong Li, the county magistrate and the others did not dare to raise their heads at all, and said again and again: "My lord, we really don't know what happened." ”
At this time, Chen Guoguo put the blade of his big knife on the county magistrate's horse's face, and the cold feeling made him suddenly afraid: "My lord, you must have listened to some rumors." Xiaguan, as the parent official of Dingxi County, has always loved the people like a son, and has never lived up to the expectations of the imperial court. ”
Gonggong Li pinched the orchid finger in his hand, looked at the county magistrate's horse face coldly, and grinned angrily: "I thief your mother, and I still refuse to tell the truth, ascend to the court!" ”
After that, the father-in-law Li sat in the court, Chen Guoguo walked out, beating the drum of grievances vigorously, while the county magistrate and the three of them knelt on the ground in fear, waiting for interrogation.
The drum sound is monstrous, deafening, because the county government is at the highest place, the drum is also beaten half-sounding, many people are admired. No, Daddy Ban Yunyun and Ma Ming in the county town also rushed over to join in the fun.
At this time, Ban Yunyun's father happened to see Chen Guoguo, and he was overjoyed, could it be that he was here to save Xiaotian?
I saw that he hurriedly walked over, grabbed Chen Guoguo's arm, and said with teary eyes: "My lord, you want to save my aunt and daughter, they are all arrested and put in prison." ”
This Chen Guoguo naturally knew Ban Yunyun's father, and he asked suspiciously, "Why were they arrested?" ”
Ban Yunyun's father said slowly: "Our uncle sacrificed his life to refuse to collect taxes for the sake of the people, and was arrested by the county magistrate. If it weren't for the people, they would have been beheaded a long time ago. ”
When Chen Guoguo heard this, he was furious, and then turned to the yacha and said, "Go, let me release Fu Xiaotian in the cell!" ”
At this time, Xie Feikui was happy in his heart, he didn't want Fu Xiaotian and them to die, so he was naturally happy, and he agreed and went to the cell.
Then, Chen Guoguo shouted to the people who came to join in the fun: "Fellow villagers, this time I and Gonggong Li of the imperial court came here for the magistrate of Dingxi County. Don't be afraid, later, you are the master of this court, and if you have any grievances, you can say it. ”
As soon as these words came out, the people suddenly boiled and thanked Chen Guoguo again and again.
I saw that all the people knelt down together and shouted in unison: "Thank you, thank you, thank you, Your Excellency." ”
I have to say that the emperor of the Han State still has some strength, he is not mediocre, and he knows how to appease the people.
At this time, Chen Guoguo returned to Gonggong Li's side and whispered to him in his ear that he didn't know what to say, and Gonggong Li looked suddenly bright.
"Smack......
Gonggong Li slapped the wood in his hand, shouted, and shouted in the voice of a rooster: "The three people in the hall, are you guilty?" ”
At this time, the county magistrate and the three of them still shook their heads again and again, crying and crying, "My lord, we really didn't make any mistakes, don't listen to those nonsense." ”
"The lower officials are honest and upright, how can there be mistakes."
Hey, this official's face is thick, and he can say such a faceless thing, which is really an example of a corrupt official.
However, at this moment, Xie Feikui walked in with Fu Xiaotian, who had already loosened the chains. Gonggong Li looked at Fu Xiaotian, glanced at him, and then said, "You, is Fu Xiaotian?" ”
Fu Xiaotian bowed his hand, and his voice was loud: "Back to my lord, it is Fu Xiaotian below." ”
Suddenly, Father-in-law Li was shocked and scolded loudly: "Then, why don't you kneel when you see this father-in-law?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Ma Jing was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground, looking particularly respectful, "My lord, the villain has just been released, and his head is a little unbright, and I hope that the adult will atone for his sins." ”
Gonggong Li smiled slightly and looked at Ma Jing: "Well, you kid is quite smart, forgive you for your innocence." ”
With that, he looked at Fu Xiaotian and Ban Yunyun again, and said coldly: "Then what is the situation of the two of you, do you want my father-in-law to say it a second time?" ”
Fu Xiaotian took a step forward, calmly and calmly, and said without being humble or arrogant: "My lord, I can be regarded as reading poetry and books below. The sages do not teach us this, but instead say, kneel to heaven and bow to parents. ”
"I don't think that in this life, I want to live a righteous and bright life, and I don't bend my waist for five buckets of rice, so it's my principle not to kneel. Besides, I feel that adults are also people who understand righteousness, and they will not embarrass me for this little thing. ”
Fu Xiaotian's words made this Gonggong Li's eyes shine brightly, and he slowly clapped his palms: "Not bad, not bending your waist for five buckets of rice, neither humble nor arrogant, and it can be regarded as a man's true character." Although my father-in-law and I are eunuchs, I also have a man's heart, and I forgive you for your innocence. ”
At this time, Gonggong Li changed his words, and then asked: "However, you said that you worship heaven and earth, and worship your parents, so do you want to bow down when you see the emperor?" ”
Although Fu Xiaotian is a modern person, he also understands that the emperor is the Ninety-Five, and he naturally wants to worship, but in order to round the he just bragged, he can only brag about one more bull.
Just look at him and smile: "The so-called emperor and queen land, the heaven in my heart is naturally the emperor, and the land in my heart is the people who work hard, and when I see the emperor, I naturally want to worship." ”
As soon as these words came out, Gonggong Li praised him again and again, and said three times in a row: "Okay, good!" Sure enough, it's a pillar of talent. ”
Moreover, not only Gonggong Li, but also the villagers who were listening outside the hall also shouted praise, and the entire county government burst into applause.
Now that Fu Xiaotian has finished the test, Gonggong Li also returned to the topic and asked, "Fu Xiaotian, what grievances do you have, tell me quickly." ”
Then, he shouted to the people outside: "Fellow villagers, if you have any grievances, you can also tell them together." ”
At this time, Fu Xiaotian said excitedly: "My lord, the magistrate of Dingxi County cares about people's lives and conscripts the people. Taking advantage of the fact that Dingxi County is in a remote area, it will squander it wantonly, work the people and lose money, and hope that the adults will enforce the law impartially! ”
Just as Fu Xiaotian finished speaking, another woman rushed in from outside the court, knelt on the ground, lay on the ground with her hands, and shouted with tears in her eyes: "My lord, please be the master of the people's wife, my lord." ”
Gonggong Li glared at him and shouted: "Say, this official is in charge of you!" ”
The woman raised her head and said excitedly: "My lord, the county magistrate built his own government office in the mountain behind the county yahou last year, and summoned the people's husbands, not only did not pay the wages, but also killed all the participating migrant workers and their families in order to prevent his own affairs from being exposed. I was lucky enough to escape, and my poor husband and poor children were all killed. ”
"My lord, you have to be the master for the people of Dingxi County!"
