Volume 3: The Eunuch Career of Wupin Dazhi County Begins Chapter 175: A Unique Enlightenment Lawsuit:
Li Yinglong took Shi Yao out of the gate of the county office, and suddenly saw a young man who looked to be in his twenties dragging an old man in his fifties to the gate of the county office.
Seeing this, the two officials with knives guarding the gate of the county government hurriedly walked over and stopped the two people.
A servant shouted: "What are you doing, what are you doing?" Don't know what this place is? Just slammed into it like that.
Hearing this, the young man said angrily: Of course I know what kind of place this is, isn't this the county government?
The official said: Do you know that you are still breaking inside, do you know what kind of sin it is to break into the county government hall? That is a sin and rebellion, and rebellion is to be beheaded, do you know?
Hearing this, the young man said angrily: Don't you mess with people's hats, okay, the reason why I broke into your county office is to sue.
The official was stunned and said: What, those who come to complain, those who come to sue must also follow the procedure.
After speaking, he pointed with his hand to a big drum on the wooden shelf erected on the right side of the entrance of the county government and said: "Do you see it, if you come to complain, you have to beat the drum first, and only when the drum is sounded, can we go to the court to ask questions."
After speaking, he paused, and then said: But now it is past the time for the magistrate to ascend to the court to question the case, even if you beat the drum now, the magistrate may not be promoted to ask the case. Well, go back first, and then come back tomorrow morning to complain.
Hearing this, the young man was very angry and said: No, I have to sue now, if you don't let me sue, I won't leave today.
Hearing this, the official said angrily: Yo drink, you are still playing tricks, right, look at me------
Before he finished speaking, Li Yinglong, who was watching at the gate of the county government, answered: Let them come in.
Hearing this, the official turned around and saw that it was their magistrate, and he hurriedly saluted Li Yinglong and said: See the magistrate.
Then he said to the young man: Our magistrate let you in.
So the young man dragged the old man to Li Yinglong, and then dragged the old man to pounce on Li Yinglong's knees and shouted loudly: Wei Xingying, a grass man, kowtowed to the county master.
After that, he gave Li Yinglong three kowtows.
Li Yinglong asked: I heard you say just now, you are here to sue, so who are you going to sue?
Hearing this, the young man pointed to the old man kneeling next to him with his hand and said, "I will sue him."
Li Yinglong asked: What are you going to sue him?
The young man said: I sued him for cheating on me.
Hearing this, the old man who never said a word answered: I didn't cheat you, how could I cheat you, it's because you are too stupid to care about me.
Hearing this, Li Yinglong felt that there was a story in it, so he said with interest: What's going on, I'll hear it.
The young man said: That's the case, this old man opened a academy to recruit students, and when he recruited them, he said that as long as they studied with him, they could be enlightened, and more than 80 percent of those who were enlightened could be admitted to Xiucai, so I signed up to study at his college. But I've been studying in his academy for almost a year, and I haven't opened it, don't you say it's a lie, isn't it a fraud to deceive people, so I'm going to sue him, let him return my tuition, and compensate me for mental damages, I calculated, a total of one hundred taels of silver.
Hearing this, the old man said angrily: Whether you are enlightened or not is your own business, where you study with me, I only give you reminders and inspiration, but you are stupid, and it is not my business to be enlightened.
Of course, the young man disagreed, and he said, "But when you recruited students, you promised that every student would be enlightened, but I couldn't be enlightened, isn't it your responsibility, so you have to return my tuition fees and compensate me for mental damages."
Li Yinglong finally understood what was going on, is it okay, this is idle and has nothing to do, or rather, that thing hurts when he is idle, and he has nothing to look for.
After thinking for a while, Li Yinglong asked the young man: You mean, as long as you are enlightened, there will be nothing left, right?
Hearing this, the young man nodded and said, "Yes, as long as I can be enlightened, I will have nothing to do."
Li Yinglong nodded, and then asked: Then, if I enlighten you, will you have nothing to do?
Hearing this, the young man nodded and said, "Yes, I don't care who it is, as long as it makes me enlightened, I will leave immediately, and there will be nothing left."
Li Yinglong smiled and said: This is easy to do, I will enlighten you now.
After that, he turned his head to Shi Yao, who was watching the excitement on the side, and ordered: Shi Yao, you go to the back and call the two girls over, by the way, let them bring a set of red women's clothes, as well as the rouge gouache they use or something.
Hearing this, Shi Yao responded: Yes, master.
In response, he turned around and walked into the county office.
After a while, she walked out with two young girls with a set of bright red women's clothes and a red jewelry box in their hands.
The two young girls came to Li Yinglong's front and bowed and said, "See my lord."
Li Yinglong waved his hand at them, then pointed to the young man and instructed them: "You two change this man into the red woman's clothes you brought, and then rub some rouge and gouache on his face."
Hearing this, the two girls couldn't help but be stunned, and then asked Li Yinglong as if they didn't understand: My lord, you just said that we should change this man into a woman's red clothes and rub some rouge gouache on his face, is that true?
Hearing this, Li Yinglong nodded and said: Yes, that's the case, is there a problem?
The two girls hurriedly replied: No problem, my lord.
As he spoke, he walked up to the young man and asked him to change his clothes.
Of course, the young man didn't do it, so he said to Li Yinglong: My lord, I want you to enlighten me, why do you want me to wear women's clothes?
Li Yinglong said coldly: I want you to be enlightened so that I let you wear women's clothes, I can warn you, if you don't cooperate, then I will punish you for the crime of making a public scene, first beat you with forty boards, and then send you to the frontier to do three years of hard labor.
Hearing this, the young man was frightened, so he obediently put on the big red woman's clothes, and then the two girls rubbed a layer of white powder on his cheeks, and then a layer of rouge, so that his cheeks immediately became two pieces of monkey buttocks.
Then Li Yinglong ordered him to stand on the street for ten minutes.
The young man did not dare to disobey, so he stood in the street.
The street in front of the county yamen is a main street in Luoyang City, and there are a lot of people coming and going, when people see a big man wearing a woman's red clothes, and his face is still rubbed with rouge and gouache, they can't help laughing, and they can't help but point at this man with their hands to guess whether this man is a neurotic who just ran out of a mental hospital.
Ten minutes later, Li Yinglong called the young man back, and then asked him: Hey, how did you feel after standing on the street for ten minutes just now?
Hearing this, the young man said angrily: I think I'm just a fool.
Li Yinglong immediately made a very happy look, and loudly applauded twice: Congratulations on your enlightenment.
Hearing this, the young man was stunned and said, "What, I'm enlightened, when will I become enlightened?"
Li Yinglong smiled and said: Just now, because you think you are a fool, so you are enlightened, because you realize that you wear women's clothes and rub women's rouge gouache, you are a fool, you can realize that you are a fool, aren't you enlightened?
Hearing this, everyone present burst into laughter, and Shi Yao laughed and shouted that her stomach hurt.
Then Li Yinglong instructed the two girls again: remove this guy's makeup and let him go and leave the hall.
After that, he walked towards the outside of the county office.
Shi Yao hurriedly followed him and walked out, and then he couldn't stop muttering in front of him: Zhenni is too idle, and bullshit is also coming to lawsuit, it seems that I have to set up a rule, otherwise, I, a tasteless magistrate, will have to become a member of the mediation committee of the old ladies in the street.
