Chapter 37: The Family
Now it is above the public court, but this old man swaggered to the public hall under the escort of countless officers and soldiers, he waved his hand, and the surrounding officers and soldiers understood it, and in the continuous shouting of the people, he actually closed the door directly.
Everyone who was still in the court was shocked at this moment, this old man must be a little too bold, what kind of person is he, even Cao Xing's heart is a little bottomless.
The old man walked to the middle of the public hall with a smile on his crutches, glanced at Cao Xing, and then looked at Duan Ke on the main seat with a smile and said, "Duan County Order, don't come unharmed!" ”
Duan Ke's face was a little gloomy, he looked at the old man and said: "Master Cai, now that I am in the public court, there is something that I can't say in private, if I have to come here, do you think that I, Duan someone, am easy to bully!" ”
"Hehe, don't be angry, you are the head of a county, and I am disrespectful to you for rectification, but now I do have something important to report, I need to sue someone, and that person is in court!"
"Who is it?"
"That's him, Cao Xing." The old man looked at Cao Xuan with his burning gaze.
Cao Xing's face didn't change, he just patted Feng Yun next to him on the shoulder, and Feng Yun retreated.
Feng Yun is a scholar after all, he has seen a little of the world, and he still has a little understanding of these dignitaries and nobles in Bianyun County, just now he was in Cao Xing's ear, and quickly told Cao Xuan the information of this old guy.
This old man's name is Cai Gui, his family has thousands of acres of fertile land, and he is the first wealthy family in Bianyun County.
Thinking of this, Cao Xing couldn't help frowning, recalling that the family was indeed a bit troublesome, perhaps in the eyes of others, in the feudal period, it was the emperor who said it alone, and the other ministers had to stand aside, but they didn't know that the family was also an extremely powerful force. At that time, the emperor had to be afraid of them.
If you want to ask why this is so, just because these families control a large area of land, they can cultivate food if they have land, cultivate food, they can feed the army, and they have the world's books in their hands, so many scholars are from their disciples, as for those who are like those poor scholars who rise step by step and eventually occupy high positions, that is just a few examples, most of the time it is these families who control the lifeblood of knowledge in this era.
Therefore, whether they are in the military, in politics, or even in the country's finances, they have manpower, so their strength is extremely strong, although Bianyun County is a small place, but there is also the existence of a family, and this Cai Gui in front of him is the best proof.
"Hehe, head of the Cai family, as far as I know, Cao Xing was born in Bianyun County, he was innocent in his life, and he has nothing to do with you, what do you want to tell him!" Duan Ke's tone sounded a little unpleasant, after all, this Cai Gui was too bold, it was obviously Duan Ke's court, but he ignored the rules here, and even closed the door, what kind of thing is this?
Cai Gui laughed twice, then looked at Duan Ke and said: "Duan County doesn't know anything, this guy Cao Xing has invaded my fertile land, expanded his residence without permission, and even disturbed the order of our family, do you think this is a sin!" ”
Duan Ke hasn't finished speaking, Cao Xuan can't help it anymore, he has no grievances with this Cai Gui, why did Cai Gui appear here today? In fact, Cao Xing also had some thoughts in his heart, nothing more than for this lingering palpitation.
The reason why Yu Yu can change from a gangster in Bianyun County to a big boss who controls a restaurant is probably because when he was young, he received the favor of this Cai Gui, so he was able to make his family business so big.
Now that Yu Yu is affected, Cai Gui, who is the master, naturally wants to come out and help Yu Yu block this matter.
But this Cai Gui, his method of wronging people is inevitably too bizarre, Cao Xing stepped forward, looked at Cai Gui and said without being humble or arrogant: "Old man, I don't know what you said that I encroached on your land and disturbed your family order, but there is real evidence!" You must know that this guy wants to murder me, and now there are all the human and material evidence, and if you want to exonerate him, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort! ”
Cao Xuan immediately broke Cai Gui's thoughts, and also called him an old man, which shows on the side that Cao Xuan will not give this Cai Gui face, Cai Gui's face is also a little gloomy, he walked directly in front of Cao Xuan on crutches and said.
"Young man, sure enough, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, you are very unruly!"
"No, I, Cao Xuan, must be a rule-abiding person, but I only abide by the rules of the public, not the rules set for me by someone!"
"Hehe, so daring, in that case, I'll let you see the evidence of your guilt today!"
I saw Cai Gui wave his hand, and one of his subordinates walked up, took out a piece of paper from his arms, and handed it directly to Cao Xing, Cao Xuan carefully opened it, and the pupils of the whole person began to expand continuously, and Feng Yun and others couldn't help but come up and take a look, they were all shocked, this is the title deed.
In the feudal period, only by owning the title deed can you say that the land you occupy belongs to your family.
The location mentioned in the title deed is also exactly the location where Cao Xing's family lives.
However, Cao Xing looked at this land deed, and a glimmer of light immediately flashed in his eyes, he immediately noticed that something was wrong, and took this land deed and said to Duan Ke: "Although the land deed is here, I seriously suspect that there is something wrong with this land deed, it says that the wasteland west of Bianyun County is all Cai Gui's family, I just want to ask, Cai Gui, this guy He De, how can he occupy such a large land, keep that land, it neither opens his mouth nor sows seeds, just let it be so wasted, if he says that he bought it with money, You can dispose of it as you want, so where is the credentials! ”
Although what Cao Xing said was reasonable and evidence-based, Duan Ke sighed silently there when he listened to Cao Xing's narration, and Cao Xing felt a sigh in his heart when he saw this, and he knew that things were going to be yellow.
And at this moment, Cai Gui also walked to Cao Xing's side with a smile and said to him: "Cao Xing, even if you are sharp-tongued, but now that the evidence is here, I can take someone now and directly demolish your family's land, whether it is farmland or house!" ”
"You try!" As soon as they heard this, Chen Hu and the others became angry, and strode forward, wanting to walk to this Cai Gui's side, but they were stopped by You Tie and others.
At this moment, Cao Xing's heart is quite calm, and his mind is spinning rapidly.
He looked at the bottom of the title deed, and found that the date mentioned above turned out to be twenty years ago, and the person who approved the title deed did not seem to be Duan County Order.
Thinking of this, Cao Xuan did not hesitate, and immediately asked Feng Yun to take out their family's land deed, and the land to which the two land deeds belonged actually overlapped.
"Tell Duan County Order, I believe you have also seen that the land purchased by Cai Gui was only approved by the county order at that time, and there was no record, and in the back, the former owner of my house also built a house there, and applied for the corresponding title deed at the government office, the title deed overlapped a lot, and the original owner who sold me the house at that time also told me that there was a wasteland around that no one wanted, and even the government didn't ask, so I cultivated good land there, if you don't believe it, Please also ask the county magistrate to come directly to him to confront him face to face! ”
When Cao Xing said this, he was also observing Duan Ke's face, and he found that more and more scoundrels gradually appeared on Duan Ke's face, and he finally figured out why this Cai Gui was so bold.
Although Duan Ke is the head of a county, to be honest, his county order is estimated to have been set aside, otherwise Cai Gui's behavior just now can put him on the crime of disrespect in court.
And at this moment, a few old guys brought by Cai Gui stepped forward and said to Duan Ke's hand together: "Lord County Order, we can guarantee that the head of the Cai family is the owner of that land, but Cao Xuan occupies it privately, and also asks Duan County Order to order that all the land illegally obtained by Cao Xing be confiscated, as for the place where he expanded." All of them were forcibly demolished! ”
These old men, who looked like they were about to make a move, seemed to be talking to Duan County's order, but the coercion in their tones was overflowing.
Duan Ke's face began to get darker and darker, maybe he was thinking in his heart, who is the county commander in Yun County here, although he really wanted to wave his hand and drink these old guys directly, so that this matter could be handled impartially, but in the face of these people's aggressiveness, his hands were trembling slightly, the feeling of wanting to get angry but not being able to get angry was really uncomfortable, it can only be said that the strength of the family is indeed not to be underestimated.
And Cai Gui looked at Duan Ke and didn't speak for a long time, knowing that Duan Ke's heart was also hesitating, the corners of his mouth outlined a sneer, and he said directly to You Tie next to him: "County Lieutenant You, I believe you also saw it just now, I have already shown the title deed, but this Cao Xing is still there to make strong words, now please take someone and immediately demolish all Cao Xing's house and land for me!" ”
You Tie nodded when he heard this, and then arched his hand to Duan Ke, who was sitting on the main seat, and said a few words casually, just waved his hand, and prepared to walk out with his servants, but he was stumped by Chen Hu carrying a double stick.
"You dare to forcibly demolish my house, you are not small, you can come and try, unless I Chen Hu dies here today, otherwise none of you will want to leave!"
Looking at Chen Hu's bearded appearance, it was indeed a little scary, some officials were really frightened, and You Tie was also stunned, but he quickly reacted, he looked at Cao Xuan with a sneering look and said.
"Cao Xing, now that the evidence is conclusive, we are on official business, you are sure to hinder us, if this is the case, you and your people are ready to go to prison!"
