Chapter 10: Above the Court (I)

On the day of Dinghai in the fourth year of Yuankang, Nanyang County Shouliang Xi ushered in this day in anxious waiting.

This day is the opening day. The trial was the case of dozens of acres of barren land in the west of Zheng and Liu's two champion counties.

Zheng sued the Liu family for privately occupying his family's private land and demanded that the Liu family be punished. This is a ridiculous case for a diligent and generous official.

The absurdity lies in the fact that Zheng Tan is just a county guard, and his title is only a pavilion marquis. According to today's law, how could the Zheng family own so much land?

But this is a tacit thing for everyone, the gate valve family, whose private land will be less? Not to mention others, Liang Xi's family has also saved a lot of family business in his hometown of Shanyang.

The cause of this incident was that the Liu family broke the rules and encroached on other people's private land, which is really contemptible.

Although, there is news that the Liu family and Shi Chong are teaming up to deal with the Zheng family outside: Shi Chong is "devouring" the Zheng family's caravan, and the Liu family is secretly seizing his family's property.

If this is the case, it is clear that these two families want to put the Zheng family to death.

However, Zheng did not "break the law", and Shi Chong, the assassin, did not make any noise about Zheng Liu's dispute.

And Zheng's reaction was very quick: a complaint was filed in Nanyang County, which put all the Liu family's private plots on the table, and at the same time pushed the problem to him.

Should the case be decided? How to break?

Liang Xi has a lot of concerns, one side is Liu Qiao, the right man, and the other side is the Zheng family, who is the backer and the king of Shunyang. He can't afford to be offended.

So it's a dilemma. Liang Xi was very emotional, thinking that his ancestor Liang Mao was also a generation of famous ministers, and he was not afraid of the life and death of Liaodong Xiaoxiong. In his generation, not to mention the reputation of the Liang family, he even lost the courage to enforce the law impartially!

Liang Xi also knew about the recent Wancheng incident, but if they got into a few fights, they would eliminate their anger and no longer have disputes. I can't wait for cool habits!

He couldn't afford to offend them, so he strictly ordered the governor Deng Jing and the thief Cao Zhangshun: The government did not care about the conflict between the Zheng and Liu families. They just need to isolate the idlers and others so as not to accidentally injure them.

The people of the Liu family suffered a lot in the conflict and took advantage of it, and Liu Wu came to see him several times in the past few days and asked the government to intervene.

But the cool habits turned a deaf ear. Although the Liu family is not small, it is always less pressure than offending the two families.

However, the days of ignorance are over.

At the end of the day, Liang Xi woke up on time in the back office and ordered his family to dress. He was furious because of the problem of improper clothing. I took it off and put it on, I put it on and took it off, and I tossed it back and forth several times.

The old servant Dongtian drove away the trembling maid and silently changed his clothes, he knew why Liang Xi, who was rarely angry with his subordinates, was so angry today.

At the breakfast table, Liang Xi got angry again and reprimanded his youngest son for not endorsing on time. And because the food was cold, he reprimanded the cook and ordered the table to be remade.

Dongtian asked the family to warm up the meal and bring it to the table.

Liang Xi got angry again: "Do it again!" Didn't the official even eat an extra meal? ”

Dongtian lowered his head and said: "Master forgive me, you once said that you should be 'gentle and frugal' in doing things for others." If this breakfast is wasted, the old man will probably be distressed and angry again. ”

After listening, Liang Xi's anger disappeared suddenly, he sighed, and looked at his youngest son Liang Ce, who was cowering in the corner: "It's me who is wrong, I shouldn't be angry with you." ”

He picked up his chopsticks and ate calmly.

After eating and washing, he quietly waited for the opening time to come.

"My lord, it's time." A county official walked in briskly and said softly.

"Good! Let's get started! Liang Xi said in a deep voice.

The county official walked out of the gate of the county government quickly, and said loudly: "The hall is open!" ”

For a time, the county office, which was as quiet as the night, was like a machine running at high speed, and all the dozens of officials performed their duties and were arranged in an orderly manner.

When the thief Cao took the county soldiers to arrange the security of the public court, and the two scribes sat under the hall and nervously prepared the book, the door Shi also opened the door and guided the crowd who were about to watch to enter.

Today, the Nanyang County Government is trying a case that has been boiling in Wancheng, and the idlers in the winter have come to block the gate of the county government. Shi Fangzheng, who was under the door, tried his best to guide the crowd, but he still couldn't do it.

"Lord Fang, why don't you use a stick to deter them?" A small official behind Fang Zheng said urgently.

Fang Zheng wiped a cold sweat and scolded: "Confused! No way! Fang Zheng's eyes glanced at the man in Tsing Yi who had just crossed the door, it was his main family, Fang Ping, the eldest son of the Nanyang Fang family.

Although he and the descendants of the Nanyang Fang family are already in a relationship outside the five suits. But he had also seen this elegant and uninhibited noble son from afar.

Fang Ping actually came in person, and he came in disguise!

Fang Zheng perked up even more, carefully staring at everyone who passed in front of him.

Then, he found someone special. These are two petite people wearing thick furs and a power fence on their heads. Fang Zheng took a closer look and realized that these were actually two girls with bearded hats.

"What nonsense!" Fang Zheng waved his hand and sent two scattered officials to invite them to the corner outside the corner gate.

Fang Zheng had a calm face and asked, "Which family are you from?" Why didn't anyone come out with me? Aren't your father and brother worried? ”

He could see that this girl was not from an ordinary family. So, then a little girl shouldn't be allowed to run out!

The two little girls were really frightened, and one of them just wanted to say something. I saw an old hand stretched out in front of them.

Fang Zheng looked at the old gentleman and asked in surprise, "Who are you?" ”

"The old man is the west seat of my son-in-law." He said with a smile.

"Ahh It's actually Mr. Sheep! The two girls said with a look of surprise.

"I accompanied her to Jingzhou for a trip and passed by Wancheng. I heard about the recent interesting things in Nanyang. So come to the county office and have a look. Mr. Yang motioned for them not to speak, and he explained to Fang Zheng.

"I see. So, let's do it, three of you. Fang Zheng didn't doubt anything else, and ordered someone to escort them into the door, and only then did he secretly exhale in his heart, who are these people!

The cautious Fang Zheng felt that the relationship between them might not be like this, but this old man with an extraordinary bearing made him not want to ask any more questions.

This female son-in-law dressed in disguise and mixed in with the crowd of onlookers is naturally the girl who lives in Xie Yuan-Lu Yun.

After entering the county office, Lu Yun spoke in a reverent tone and couldn't wait to speak: "Lord Yang, why did you come to Jingzhou?" ”

Lord Yang, who was actually a Yang Jia Yang waiter who had been to Wanquan Town not long ago, still explained with a smile: "I came to Jingzhou on business. After finishing business, I was stranded here because of an interesting thing. ”

"Interesting?"

"That's it." He pointed to the courtroom.

Lu Yun suddenly realized.
