When the two Huns had no choice, when they heard this proposal, the two discussed it and immediately said, "Go and go!" So, the two sides walked towards the place where the county government was located with their respective goods, and a group of people who were idle and bored around saw that there was a lively situation to see, so they naturally immediately followed.

Because this time the incident was related to both Hu and Han, more people were attracted after hearing the news.

Li Xin and the others also mixed in the crowd and walked in the direction of the county office. At this moment, it reminded Li Xin of the scene when he was in Yixian. It's just that what he doesn't know is whether this county order is as wise as the county order of Yixian!

Soon, the group came to the door of the county office. When the guards at the gate saw so many people, they thought that someone wanted to make trouble, so they hurriedly became vigilant. It wasn't until the wealthy Han merchant stepped forward to explain the reason that they relaxed.

"Knock knock knock ....." With the sound of drums, the matter can be regarded as officially entering the official process. The rich merchant of the Han people found someone, and after writing the form, he handed it over.

Soon, the county magistrate went to court to try the case, and Li Xin and a large group of people gathered outside to watch.

"Who is kneeling in the hall, and what is the matter with beating the drum and complaining?" The county magistrate is a man about forty years old, and after he came to the court, he asked about the case.

"Returning to the county commander, the small one is the name of the county of Andingchao, surnamed Feng Mingjiu! I came to play the drums this time to do business with the two of them. After the two signed the document with the villain, they immediately repented and refused to deliver the goods to the villain. The villain had no choice but to come and ask the master to call the shots! The Han rich businessman hurriedly gave up.

"Oh? Since you are the one who complained, do you have a complaint? The prefectural magistrate listened and asked.

"My lord, he has handed over the paper, please take a look!" The staff next to him handed the pleadings to the prefectural order at this time.

After the county magistrate took it and looked at it for a while, he said: "It is clearly written on this piece of paper, Feng Jiu exchanged ten loads of tea for your two cows, how can you deny it in black and white?" Besides, there are your respective signatures on it, how can you regret it? ”

"Lord County Commander, please listen to a small word! It's not that the little ones want to repent, it's that he deceives people too much. Although the document said that it was ten quintals of tea, the villain did not object. But when it was delivered, the small ones found that the baskets were three points shallower than those on the market. It is said that it is ten quintals of tea, but if it is added up, it may not even be eight quintals! Please also ask the lord to be the master of the villain and uphold justice! Hearing this, the two Huns hurriedly kowtowed.

"The lord must not listen to their nonsense, the ten quintals of tea that the villain said originally meant the ten quintals. The paperwork doesn't say exactly what basket to use! There is only this kind of basket in the villain's hand, which naturally refers to such ten loads! When Feng Jiu heard the other party's words, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly excused himself.

As soon as he said this, the people around Li Xin immediately booed. After all, who is trading here does not know the market situation. Although Feng Jiu did not seem to have violated the express regulations, it was contrary to the conventions of business ethics. People who really have a conscience ~ know are naturally very disdainful of him.

It is really shameful to use this method to take advantage of others, and after being discovered, he is still so clever and eloquent.

The prefectural order is not a stupid person, so I basically understood the problem as soon as I heard it. But after he glanced at Feng Jiu deeply, he said to the two people: "Although what Feng Jiu said is a bit far-fetched, it is not wrong. When this was written, why didn't you specify that the basket you used had to be something that was available in the market? ”

"This ..... The little ones just thought it was common sense, but who would have thought that someone would do something out of it! When the two Huns heard this, they couldn't help but regret it.

"If that's the case, that's your own problem! That's the end of this case! You must deliver the goods clearly in accordance with the agreement, otherwise you will be punished for breach of contract. It's just that next time, you'll have to remember it a little longer! When the county magistrate heard this, he coldly pronounced the sentence.

Hearing this result, Feng Jiu was immediately overjoyed, while the two Huns were like mourners. But there was no way, they had to sigh and consider themselves unlucky.

And the merchants outside the door, especially the Hu businessmen who came from afar, couldn't help but talk at this time.

"How can the prefectural magistrate judge like this? This matter is clearly Feng Jiu's fault! ”

"That is, it was obviously his hands and feet, but he blamed the two Huns for being careless! Although they are said to be imprudent, everyone usually does this, who would have thought that person's heart would be so black! ”

"To put it bluntly, the county magistrate saw that Feng Jiu was from Jin, so he favored him. Otherwise, I am afraid that this would not be the result! ”

"Exactly, it seems that we should be careful when doing business in the future!"

.......

Li Xin didn't speak, but he listened carefully to the discussions around him. For him, although there is no big problem with the practice of the county order on the surface, it seems that there is no place to blame.

But the good officials in Li Xin's faith are not like this! Perfunctory and unjust stance is a taboo for a judicial person.

Even if the mistake in the clerical work was caused by the two Huns themselves not arguing and believing too much in morality, the county decree as a law enforcer had to be considered in its entirety at the time of trial.

The law is dead, but man is alive! The ruthlessness of the law means that there is no compromise in certain areas, not that there is no human favor at all. The law is merciless in order to punish sin and promote the idea of justice and wrong. And the human affection in the law is for the perpetuation of justice and moral perpetuation, not a back door for one's own selfish thoughts.

In the eyes of the county magistrate, today this is just a small case. But in Li Xin's view, this is the beginning of the collapse of the law of the Huashan Army, and it is the beginning of the Huashan Army's notoriety to the outside world!

Looking at the reactions of these merchants around us, we can see that the Han merchants seem to be starting to get proud one by one, as if they have found a legitimate reason to do evil. The Hu merchants, on the other hand, began to be suspicious, full of suspicion and distrust of the Huashan Army's government.

If this matter cannot be handled correctly, I am afraid that the county that has been established with great difficulty will lose the advantage that it has won so hard in the blink of an eye. In the future, the development here may not be interrupted, but it will definitely not reach the height of Li Xin's confidence!

"Your Excellency, Lord Prefectural Order! Please wait! When the county order was about to retreat, Li Xin stood up and shouted.

He didn't know this county order, and he was also sure that the other party should have never met him. In this way, there will be nothing to appear on your own.

"Who is making a noise in the hall?" The county order was about to leave his seat, and after hearing this, he suddenly said with some impatience.

"I have something to say!" Li Xin said as he walked up to the hall!

"Who are you? What do you have to say? Are you implicated in this case? If you are not implicated, the official who goes to court for no reason can punish you for a crime of disturbing the court! The county magistrate looked at Li Xin, and vaguely felt a little familiar, but he really couldn't remember if he had seen it. But after hearing this, the tone is not so kind!

"Well, the villain has nothing to do with this case, it's just that after listening to the case just now, he suddenly felt it. Please stay for a moment and let the villain finish speaking! Li Xin arched his hand and said lightly.

"If you have something to say, say it! If you can't make a point, the official will punish you again! Seeing his calm appearance, the county magistrate didn't know why there was a faint sense of oppression, and actually agreed.

"Thank you, sir! What the villain wants to say is that although this case was a mistake accidentally made by these two brothers, everyone handled it like this in the past, and there was no problem. Why is there a problem when you get to Feng Jiu? This is because in the past, everyone knew integrity in doing business, and they all felt that it should be so, and they should not deceive each other. But such a kind act was used as an excuse by Feng Jiu, and he used it to take advantage of himself! If it is determined by the adult, then when everyone does business in Zhujuan County in the future, I am afraid that everyone will have to guard against others like thieves! In this way, the trust between people is no longer there, and only deceit and scheming with each other remain. What are the benefits for the county? Li Xin said leisurely.

"Well said!" As soon as these words came out, among the many merchants outside the door, I don't know who suddenly shouted. Then, everyone nodded their heads in agreement.

"Bold, this official decides the case, when will it be your turn to put your beak?" However, the county order was a little angry. After all, Li Xin's words were almost like scolding at his nose.

"Adults, don't be impatient, the villain still has a few words to say! If the adults have to punish after hearing this, it's not too late to count them together! Li Xin smiled, not panicked, and said lightly.

"Humph!" Maybe it was the faint sense of uneasiness in my heart, so the county order didn't stop it, just snorted coldly.

"Everyone comes to Zhujuan County just to do business. As long as you abide by the law here and do not do evil, you are qualified to live a good life here. Although the judgment of the adults is in accordance with the law, it has abandoned human feelings! Whose goods are not blown by the wind, presumably the cattle of these two brothers did not grow up blowing up! With a few words, adults let their blood and sweat go to waste, and it is really difficult to convince everyone! Seeing this, Li Xin continued.
