After the destruction of Subi and Tibet, it takes time to digest such a large piece of territory, so Li Zheng can only give up the military action of the Xiong for the time being, and the class teacher returns to the dynasty, on this day he came to the capital of the Haixi Kingdom, and he has been here for a few days, Li Zheng knows that if he wants to understand the real situation under his rule, he must have first-hand information, and to grasp the detailed information, he must avoid the officials to visit the real civil life, in order to see the side that he usually can't see.

On this day, Li Zheng claimed to be unwell, refused to meet anyone, and quietly slipped out of the palace in Ledu with a confidant. Although everything in the city was arranged to welcome Li Zheng's arrival at this time, because there were no local officials and soldiers guarding the enemy, they were a little calmer, and they walked around the crowded streets and vegetable markets, and they felt a little touched.

Although Ledu is not as prosperous as Luoyang Daxing in the Central Plains, but on this plateau, it can be regarded as a prosperous and rich place, Li Zheng and the two of them were a little tired after walking for a while, so they found a seat on the side of the road and sat down. At this moment, only an exclamation was heard, and an old man fell into a ditch on the side of the road, and a young man happened to walk quickly past the ditch. The old man shouted, "Young man, don't try to run away if you hurt someone." ”

The young man was walking away briskly, and when he saw that all eyes were on him, he had to stop and go over and help the old man up. This old man is about seventy years old, and it is estimated that he fell not lightly just now, but he just sat on the ground and snorted. He grabbed the young man's hand and said, "Don't you kid want to leave, you hurt me, take me to the doctor!" ”

The young man was so anxious that he shouted: "I didn't hit you, but I only helped you up when I saw you fall and injured yourself, why did you lie to me?" ”

At this time, people gathered around. One of them said it had hit, and the other said it hadn't, but everyone came after hearing the old man's scream, and no one knew what had just happened. Someone advised the old man to go and heal his wounds first, but the old man refused, shouting, "I can't go and treat first." If he runs away, who will I go to pay? Even if it hurts to death, you have to go to the county government first to distinguish the merits and then treat it. ”

The old man couldn't leave at this time, so some well-wishers found a sedan chair and carried the person to the county office, and some people went to call the doctor, and the young man was also brought over. Li Zheng saw that this matter was quite lively, and he also wanted to see how the local officials handled the dispute, so he also followed. No one could have imagined that this young man mixed in the crowd turned out to be the great khan of Haixi Kingdom, Li Zheng, the king of Haixi County.

Ledu Mansion and Ledu County Government and County are governed in the same city, and the government and the county government are not far apart, because the administrative and judicial affairs of the Haixi State are modeled on the Central Plains Dynasty, so this kind of civil petty lawsuits belong to the county government control. Everyone brought people to the county office, the county was about thirty years old, and asked about the identities of the two, it turned out that the two people were Han, and the young man was surnamed Zhao, and the old man was surnamed Zeng, all of whom were from the city of Ledu. The magistrate saw that the old man seemed to be injured a lot, so he brought a chair for the old man to sit on.

After listening to the narration of the two, the magistrate said: "You have your own words, and you can't distinguish them now. However, the official has to deal with another matter first, and then carefully interrogate it. ”

Everyone was stunned, but they saw him pointing at the young man and said: "As a person in your twenties, you saw the seventy-year-old man next to you fall, but you didn't help him, but wanted to walk away by yourself. When the officials heard this, they immediately pressed the young man, and the crackling horn was a few boards.

Li Zheng couldn't help but be happy, this Zhixian is really interesting, and the audience also applauded the Zhixian one after another. The magistrate began to ask the two to tell what happened again, but they still insisted on their own words, and the people around them couldn't confirm who was telling the truth. The young man shouted: "The villain admits that it is wrong to see the old man fall and not help him, and he was willing to be beaten on the board just now, but the villain did not hit anyone." ”

At this time, the doctor came, and immediately treated the old man Zeng, although the injury was not serious, but after all, the person was old, and it was enough for him to bear. The magistrate asked the doctor to be busy before continuing the trial, but the young man still insisted that he had not hit anyone. The magistrate thought about it and asked, "You admit that you saw him fall, why didn't you help him?" ”

The young man said: "It's not that the villain doesn't want to help, it's that he is afraid of being falsely accused, so he doesn't dare." I didn't expect it to be falsely accused. ”

The magistrate asked him if he had been falsely accused, and the young man shook his head, and then asked if he had ever heard of someone being falsely accused by the old man, but the young man still shook his head. The magistrate was angry and shouted: "You haven't been slandered yourself, and you haven't heard of the old man's slander, how can you think that others will slander people?" It must be a weak heart, so I am in a hurry to leave! ”

Having said that, because the young man did not admit it, the magistrate could not judge the case based on this, and he was helpless for a while. At this moment, another old man walked in on crutches, and when the young man saw it, he hurriedly shouted, "Grandpa, why are you here?" ”

Old man Zhao looked to be in his eighties, and he had heard the argument inside the yamen just now, so he asked the young man if he really bumped into it, but the young man still shook his head and denied it.

Old man Zhao stared at his grandson's face for a long time, and suddenly shouted: "If you hit it, you hit it, if you make a mistake, you have to change it, why don't you dare to admit it?" ”

Tears flowed down the young man's face and he exclaimed, "Grandpa! ”

Old man Zhao walked up to Old Man Zeng and apologized, admitting that he failed to discipline his grandson as an honest person, so that he did something wrong but didn't dare to admit it, and turned to the county magistrate: "County Zun, the person was hit by my grandson, and Xiaomin is willing to accept the punishment!" ”

The young man knelt down and shouted: "Grandpa, it's not that the grandson doesn't respect the elderly, it's really .........." As soon as he was halfway through his words, he was interrupted by the old man Zhao and said: "No matter what, if you are wrong, you must be wrong, and you must take responsibility!" ”

Only then did the young man admit the fact that he had hit the old man and apologize to the old man Zeng. The crowd of onlookers also blamed the young man.

The magistrate was a little strange, I don't know how Old Man Zhao saw that his grandson was lying so quickly, so he asked: "This old man, your grandson didn't admit it just now, but why do you know that he must be wrong?" ”

Old man Zhao smiled bitterly and said, "Xiaomin watched his grandson grow up, how can he hide what he said from me?" ”

At this time, after the old man Zeng applied the medicine, the pain seemed to have decreased a lot, and he slowly stood up and said, "My lord, in fact, Xiaomin was not hit by this young man, but Xiaomin himself accidentally fell while walking." ”

The crowd suddenly made an "uproar", and everyone thought that the matter was solved in this way, but they didn't expect another change, and they all suddenly showed surprised eyes. The magistrate was about to cut off the young man's compensation, but he just lifted the shocking wood, and before he could take a picture, he put it down again. Anxiously asked, "Did you really fall yourself?" The old man Zeng nodded, explaining that he was walking carelessly, stepped on the edge of the ditch and fell, and it was not the young man's business.
