The governor had to come to the court in person, and the trial was still a major case related to pirates and pirates, which caused a sensation in Guangzhou City for a while. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Shen Xi specially released the news that he would be tried publicly, which meant that the people were allowed to observe, and the people rushed to tell each other, and many people gathered at the Nanhai County Ya.

Shen Xi's sedan chair had not arrived, and the people had already surrounded the Nanhai County Ya on three floors inside and three layers outside.

Shen Xi rarely travels in an official sedan chair, and this time in order to establish his official authority, he brought all his outfits with him. When he stepped down from the sedan chair, the people all knelt down and saluted, calling him "Lord Qingtian", and Shen Xi's move invisibly established his authority for himself.

But Liwei needs to pay a price, and the people respect him, because he was sent by the imperial court to exterminate local pirates and pirates, and since he has a heavy responsibility, he must do something and give an account to the people.

Shen Xi arrived in front of the official office, and Liu Xiang, the magistrate of Nanhai County, personally came out to greet him.

However, it is said that this Liu Xiang was born in the second class of Jinshi in the ninth year of Hongzhi, and he was transferred to Nanhai, Guangdong Province as the magistrate of Nanhai, Guangdong after a few years of seniority, or the magistrate of the political envoy.

It's already depressing enough to guard the Guangzhou Mansion and the political envoy at the yamen, and he is constrained by people everywhere, and he doesn't have the taste of waiting for a hundred miles at all, and now there is actually a governor of Fujian, Guangdong, and Guizhou provinces who borrowed the yamen to try the case.

“…… Lord Shen, aren't you kidding? Since ancient times, I have never heard that this yamen can be borrowed, and if you want to try the case, just go to your governor's yamen. ”

Liu Xiang persuaded Shen Xi bitterly, so he knelt down and begged Shen Xi bitterly.

They are all from Jinshi, and Shen Xi is three years later than him in the Jinshi examination, but who calls Shen Xi from Hanlin to supervise the party as a Beijing official? He knew that the difference between him and Shen Xi's official qualities was too great, and Shen Xi proposed to borrow the yamen, and while greeting the prefect's yamen and the political envoy Si Yamen, he persuaded Shen Xi that Shen Xi could "show mercy" and not make trouble for him, the magistrate of the provincial capital.

Shen Xi said coldly: "Listen to Liu Zhixian's intentions, this official wants to bring people back to Wuzhou for interrogation?" But I don't know if you can afford to delay the deadline for arresting the bandits? ”

Liu Xiang was speechless when asked.

Although Shen Xi borrowed the yamen to be unruly, he crushed people to death at the first level of the official university, not to mention that Shen Xi was far more than one level old? Now Shen Xi is justified, if he doesn't borrow it, it is tantamount to offending the governor of the three provinces and not having his good fruit to eat. But if he borrows it, it will be impossible to get along with the political envoy Yamen, and he will still not be pleased.

Shen Xi didn't wait for Liu Xiang to reply, and shouted: "Open the court, try the case!" ”

"Mighty!"

The officials shouted the trumpet, and Shen Xi, wearing a red official robe, came directly to the county yazheng hall and sat down in front of the case, and patted the hall with a shock, but Liu Xiang, who followed in, was taken aback.

Shen Xi shouted: "Mention the victim, the witness!" ”

The officials outside were still preventing people from approaching the county office, but as Ma Jiu and others went over to say hello, the gate of the county government opened, and the people rushed in, and suddenly the courtyard in front of the county government hall was full of black and oppressive crowds of observers.

The people didn't know what was being tried in the court, so they saw a little Langjun in a big red official robe sitting in the lobby, just like the Qingtian master in the drama trying criminals, and they immediately applauded.

The group of people who ran outside the post house to complain were escorted to the court, and these people were slow to react, and the official did not take the initiative to kneel. Shen Xi nodded, and secretly said that he was really famous, either he had an official body or an outlaw who had no king's law, otherwise it would never be like this.

Ma Jiu went up and kicked him, and the thief-eyed man knelt on his knees, and immediately shouted: "Wronged, my lord, wronged......"

Shen Xi stood on the left and on the right Tang Yin and Liu Xiang respectively, and the one who made the record was the scribe of the county government. ”

Liu Xiang only roughly knew that the case that Shen Xi was trying was related to pirates robbing ships, and he didn't know the identities of these people who were transferred. He wanted to wait for the political envoy and the prefect's yamen to give instructions before trying the case, and he was talking to Shen Xi about the word "drag". But Shen Xi didn't pay attention to it at all, slapped the shocked wood, and shouted: "This official brought you here because you were robbed by bandits, and since you are a victim, what is the wrong?" Could it be that you wronged those bandits and robbers, so you first complained to this official? ”

The man thought that Shen Xi was going to retaliate, so he first said that he was "wronged", but he didn't expect Shen Xi to come up and seize the flaws in his speech to reason with him.

Shen Xi didn't give him a chance to think about it, and asked sharply: "This official will ask you, who is your surname and where does your family live?" Who is being sued? ”

The man hesitated slightly, and was slapped on the head by Ma Jiuyi.

Ma Jiu scolded: "Adults asked, didn't you hear it?" ”

The man was very angry, and he struggled to stand up and make a move with Ma Jiu, but when he saw the majestic yacha standing next to him, he realized that this was a public court, and everything had to be spoken according to the rules, so he could only swallow his anger and reply: "Back to the adult's words, the villain's name is Jiang Baifu, who is a registered merchant in Panyu County, and escorted a batch of official salt the day before yesterday...... Tea went to sea and went to Qiongzhou Mansion, but I didn't expect to be more than ten miles away from just the sea......"

"Smack!"

Shen Xi patted the wood in surprise and asked sharply: "Tell me clearly, is it official salt or tea?" ”

"Back to the adult, it's tea, and the villain is wrong. It's tea, and the villain transported three hundred catties of tea......" Jiang Baifu began to speak intermittently at this time.

Shen Xi said coldly: "You are a profitable businessman, and you transport 300 catties of tea to Qiongzhou Mansion, won't you lose your capital after a trip?" ”

Jiang Baifu realized that he had made a mistake of principle, he originally wanted to say that the "three hundred stones" official salt was transported, but found that it was inappropriate, and changed his mouth to say tea, and said three hundred stone tea by the way, but suddenly realized that the tea trade was not calculated by stone, and the result was said to be three hundred catties, and he didn't want to show the stuffing.

Jiang Baifu had a stiff mouth at this time, and said: "If you go back to the adult, three hundred catties of tea can also make money, because the villain also transported some grain ......"

Shen Xi sighed lightly, the person the opponent found was really inferior, and he was already full of flaws in a few words. However, although Shen Xi didn't care about these small branches and leaves, he made him realize one thing, that is, before the introduction of summer salt in Liangguang, the government had already begun to transfer salt...... That means that this salt is not official salt, but private salt.

The government took the lead in buying and selling illicit salt!

Shen Xi thought to himself: "When you go back, you have to follow this clue to investigate." ”

Shen Xi shouted: "Go on!" ”

"Yes, yes."

Jiang Baifu was already wiping a cold sweat, he thought that this young man was easy to deal with, who would have thought that he had only fought with Shen Xi for two rounds, he had already felt huge pressure, and at this time there was a Ma Jiu behind him who was ready to do it at any time, which made him feel even more thorny in his back, "The villain escorts the boat to the sea......"

"Wait."

After saying a few more words, Jiang Baifu's words were interrupted by Shen Xi again, "Aren't the ships and goods all yours, how can it become that you escort the ship to sea?" ”

The people who run the boat in Daming, the employer and the boat are not the same batch, the boat is the boss of the ship, and the ship is a tyrant, if there is a crew member who is not honest, the ship boss directly kills people in the sinking river and sinking the sea, and no one dares to say anything, as long as he turns back and reports the accidental drowning.

Obviously, Jiang Baifu bullied Shen Xi for not understanding the rules of running a boat, so he said that he was a merchant, but he said that he was escorting the boat, and the preface did not match the afterword.

Jiang Baifu's mouth opened, and when he saw Shen Xi's stern look, he quickly avoided his gaze and said, "Back to my lord, the villain is not only a merchant, but also escorts the boat to sea, the boat is his own, and the villain is not at ease with others." ”

After saying this, even he himself felt untrustworthy, and scolded in his heart: "What kind of governor is this, how can he even know everything about running the boat?" ”

Shen Xi also wanted to scold people, the person who came to sue was simply here to test his IQ. As a young proprietor of the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce, there were seventy or eighty boats in the heyday, if he didn't even understand the rules of running boats, what kind of business would he do?

Shen Xi was shocked: "Count your explanation, go on!" ”

Jiang Baifu didn't dare to talk nonsense now, he thought for a while before he said: "After the villain went to sea, several big ships came from the opposite side, which frightened the villain, and the villain greeted them......

As soon as he said another word, Shen Xi interrupted him: "Tell me clearly, how do you say hello?" ”

Jiang Baifu was dumbfounded, how could he even ask the details so clearly?

He hesitated, "That's it...... In fact...... In fact, they asked the boat to stop, and several boats surrounded us, and a group of people came up, and they killed people when they saw them, and the villain saw that the enemy could not be beaten, so they jumped into the boat with a few brothers, and rowed back desperately for help......"

"My lord, you have to be the master of the grass people! Those robbers are unforgivable, they kill people and goods, and the villain's wives and children are on the ship, and they die a miserable ......death."

Shen Xi frowned: "When you ran the boat, you actually dragged your family with you?" Are you going to sea to sell goods to make money, or are you going to take your wife and children to the sea to be a bandit? ”

"Hahaha......"

Perhaps it was Shen Xi's special way of asking questions, and after this question was asked, the onlookers laughed.

The Ming Dynasty forbids the sea, except for Ningbo, Quanzhou and Guangzhou, which are the three ports with the city shipping department, the rest of the places are not allowed to go to the sea. Since Guangzhou Port is responsible for communicating with the Qiongzhou government, the government has not prohibited businessmen from going to sea, but there are still clear regulations on not bringing their families to ship goods by sea.

In order to emphasize the pirates and pirates' acts of murder and exfiltration, adultery and plunder, Jiang Baifu actually lied that his family members were also on the ship, and the result was that his feet were exposed.

Jiang Baifu defended: "The villain ...... The villain wants to move his family to Qiongzhou Mansion, so he takes his family on the boat. ”

Shen Xi nodded and said, "You said before that the bandits' ships besieged you, how did you jump on the boat and escape...... Don't say it first, the one in the back has a scar on his face, you say! ”

Jiang Baifu saw that something was wrong, and his heart was dark, the people who came with him behind him were simply a group of helpers, even he, who could talk, was asked by Shen Xi full of flaws, and those who couldn't speak were asked about it.

"Adult ......"

"Smack!"

As soon as Jiang Baifu's words came out, Ma Jiuyi slapped Jiang Baifu's head: "Your Excellency doesn't allow you to speak, didn't you hear it?" ”

Ma Jiu interrogated the thieves last night for a night, and finally found out that those people were actually related to the Japanese Kou, with a sense of anger in his heart, and now another group of people dared to come to trouble Lord Shen, whom he respected the most, and he showed no mercy at this time.

As soon as the board went down, Jiang Baifu's brain was bloody.

"You dare to hit me?"

Jiang Baifu was already a little angry at this time.

"Hit you? I'm going to kick you! ”

Ma Jiu went up and kicked again, directly kicking Jiang Baifu to the ground.

Liu Xiang, the magistrate of Nanhai County, hurriedly persuaded: "My lord, this ...... The subordinate officers you brought with you must not abuse torture. ”

Shen Xi looked indifferent and said, "It's just a normal question, if this person didn't intervene in the court without doing what the official said, and roared at the court, would the official's people punish him with a small punishment?" ”
