Cui Can was stunned and had nothing to say. Flashing Li Dongsheng is an official, no matter how prestigious he is, he is just a citizen, so he can only stiffen up and say, "Hmph, I will definitely go to assassinate Lord Shi where to sue you for shielding your subordinates, harassing the squire, and embezzling taxes." ”

Li Dongsheng's heart blossomed, feudal society is good, and people rule the society by themselves. "Baili Hou" was not shouted casually, Tian Liu probably let it out, "My lord, I am a witness, what I said is useful, no matter what, that big bucket was taken out by them." ”

Li Dongsheng was just about to turn his head, but Lin Wei had already jumped in front, knelt on the ground and said, "My lord, wronged, how can we bring such a big thing with us dozens of miles from the city, this is a frame-up by them." ”

"But so many people have seen you take it off the horse."

"My lord, they are all from the same village, they are together all day, they are too familiar, the testimony they make is not reliable, who knows if they deliberately colluded."

"Well, you have a point." Li Dongsheng pretended to think for a while, "Each of you has a point, but the words of the witnesses can't be believed, it's really embarrassing." In this way, how many of you have seen Lin Zhutou take the big bucket from the horse"

Qi Shushu raised an arm, Tian Liu knelt on the ground, his hand was so high, Li Dongsheng nodded and said, "Yes, so many people have seen it, but Lin Zhutou also said that you are fellow villagers, and he does not agree with you to testify, so this problem will be troublesome." Flash"

"Just now Patriarch Cui said that I was unfair and shielded my subordinates, so I can't help but be serious. Jin Rong, you go to the county government now and bring people over, so many witnesses have taken me to the county office, I will interrogate them one by one, make a good record, and I must find out about this matter. It's too bad. Lin Zhutou, now that you are being accused by the villagers, you have to avoid suspicion, and you are not allowed to participate in this matter. ”

Jin Rong held back his laughter, walked up to Li Dongsheng and said loudly, "Yes, my lord, now I will go back to the county government to bring people, and I must bring all the witnesses back to the county government for serious questioning." ”

When the villagers heard Li Dongsheng's words, they immediately panicked. At this time, it is the time of the autumn harvest, every family is busy to death, and it is not the mechanized harvesting of later generations, this era is all manual, even children have to work in the field, and now the county commander wants to take away so many strong laborers, what to do with the grain in the field

Cui Can was also anxious, "This decision is not appropriate, now is the time of the autumn harvest, what should the adults do if they bring all the people to the village?"

"Patriarch Cui, you think that Ye County is yours, right, you can't say anything I say, it's inappropriate, one will say that I cover up my subordinates, and the other will say that I decided that it is not appropriate. "Flash" Li Dongsheng said loudly, "What do you want?"

"My lord, no, now is the critical time for the villagers to wait, otherwise the grain will be finished in the field in case of a rain. I won't be able to pay my taxes this year. ”

"If you can't pay the tax, you will be punished, and I will have my own punishment when the time comes. Today I am only in charge of the affairs of the servants. If you don't take it seriously, you Cui Patriarch is going to write a letter to the Ministry to sue me, and you have to go to assassinate Lord Shi where to sue, I only have to do business, I must be serious, meticulous, and safe, and make this case perfect from the process to the record, and make it an iron case, so as to keep my position. ”

When those villagers heard Li Dongsheng say this, they all knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, "Master, I was wrong just now, we didn't see the messenger come out with a big bucket." ”

"yes, that's all nonsense. Let's not go to the county office. ”

"I was dazzled and misunderstood. It's us who are not good. "I don't know when I will be able to come back as soon as I go to the county office, if this old man is in a bad mood and stays in the county government for more than ten days, then this year's harvest will be all rotten in the ground, how will I live next year? Thinking of this, everyone knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Seeing the ragged villagers kneeling on the ground and begging him, Li Dongsheng also couldn't bear it, but today he had to persevere to the end, "How can this be, you just say it's wrong, it's a false accusation, and you have to sit back." Besides, Patriarch Cui is watching from the side, if I show favoritism, then he will sue him. ”

The clever villagers heard what Li Dongsheng meant, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and turned to Cui Can's face, "Patriarch Cui, just say something, we were really wrong just now, you are a dense old man, you can't watch us suffer." ”

"Yes, the harvest in the field cannot be delayed, and our family depends on this for their lives."

"Just say something, don't go to the house to complain."

Seeing the villagers kneeling on the ground and crying, Cui Can pressed the anger in his heart and walked in front of Li Dongsheng in a few steps, "Lord Li, it turns out that this is a misunderstanding, the villagers are mistaken, it is our mistake to besiege the officials, please raise your noble hand." ”

"Hey, that's not what you said just now" Li Dongsheng looked at Cui Can, "Then what's going on with this big bucket, everything on the scene was led out by this big bucket, where did it come from?"

"This." Cui Can was poor in words, he originally wanted to fool Li Dongsheng away with a sloppy eye, and then beat a rake to Chen Jun where to complain, this big fight is evidence, who knows that Li Dongsheng pointed out the key in one sentence. After weighing it for a long time, he was ruthless, "This big bucket should be Tian Liu's, and he privately exchanged measuring tools to cause today's incident to happen." ”

"Yes, I remember, it's Tian Liu's."

"I heard a voice last night, and it turned out to be a bucket he changed."

Those villagers saw that someone could carry the black pot, and immediately echoed it, Tian Liu didn't expect that he knelt well, and suddenly everything was caused by himself, and he shouted loudly, "Wronged, obviously yes." Patriarch Cui, you said okay. The words stopped abruptly, he saw Cui Can's eyes about to kill, and swallowed the words stiffly.

"Oh, it's a villain." Li Dongsheng said with a smile, "It's good that the misunderstanding is solved, what I hate most in my life is the villain, especially the sinister villain who stumbles on me behind my back, if I know, I will definitely make him alive and dead." Patriarch Cui, you say yes. ”

"Yes, yes." Cui Can looked at Li Dongsheng's smiling face like a flower, and couldn't wait to punch the peach blossoms on his face. knew that he had suffered a big loss today, but there was no way, and he couldn't really surround Li Dongsheng, so he had to put his anger in his stomach.

"Jin Rong, Lin Wei, you made the transcript on the spot, and everyone signed and signed for me. Do it early and go home early. Li Dongsheng was lazy, "I'm doing well in the county office, you have to get me to this place, the villain who stirred up trouble, when I return to the county office, I must clean up well." ”
