Fengchuan County Ya Hall.

Two days later was the day when the Fengchuan wounding and disabling case was decided. The day before, both the victim and the perpetrator had been brought to court. Wang Laohu, as an official from Hangzhou, was in the hall to observe.

Liu Gongzi stood in the hall with a calm face, and the victim man, woman, and the old man were also in the hall.

Wang Laohu was very unhappy when he saw Liu Gongzi in such a state of being unattended, but at this time, he didn't show himself, there were many local people outside the hall watching, and among these onlookers, there was a different person.

The county magistrate said: "Today we will conduct the last trial of the Fengchuan case of wounding and disabling, and tomorrow the Japanese officials will announce the verdict." ”

There are officials in the hall who make a "mighty" sound.

"Today's trial is accompanied by Lord Wang from Hangzhou, so this trial is final."

"Please say that day again in the parishion." The prefectural magistrate faced the three people in the hall.

"My lord, I did come to Fengchuan County that day, and I entered the city with the firewood I just fought, and in the city, I had a discord with the seller, so I quarreled with him, and then there was physical contact, and there was a fight, so my body was somewhat damaged."

The county magistrate didn't expect that just one day later, this person's confession would be different, and he said, "What did you say? You're telling the truth! ”

"I'm telling the truth."

Hearing the man say this, Liu Gongzi on the side smiled at the corner of his mouth, "It turns out that you fought with others and blamed me." ”

"Young Master Liu, above the lobby, don't talk nonsense." The prefectural magistrate said to the man again, "Think again." ”

"My lord, don't think about it anymore, that's how it was that day."

The county magistrate asked the woman on the side again: "How did your child miscarry?" ”

"It was my own accident that I slipped at home, and the child was gone." The woman replied.

"You ......," the county magistrate said, "what did you say?" ”

"I accidentally slipped and miscarried this child." The woman said.

The county magistrate was unwilling and asked the old man, "How did you become blind?" ”

"I was born blind with these eyes, and the whole village can testify to me." The old man said.

In this day, such a big change has taken place, and the county commander saw that the situation was not right, and said to the people in the hall: "Tell this official, who threatens you, I can be the master for you." ”

"Nobody threatens us, that's what happened."

"If it is as you say, then what was the previous thing? Are you lying before my own officials? ”

"We did lie about what we did." The man said.

"You know the sin of falsely accusing people, but you will be punished fifty times, and if it is serious, you will be imprisoned." The prefectural order is humane.

"We're in the big

It is our fault that lies in front of people. ”

"Not only you, but also the witnesses in the same village, and the few witnesses in the bazaar, have lied, and what power do you have, and what you have given them, I will testify to you all!"

"My lord, since they admit that they lied, anyway, I don't care about my business, can I go?" Liu Gongzi said.

"Nope." Seeing Liu Gongzi so arrogant, the county magistrate was furious, "Your business is not over yet, I will pass on other witnesses." ”

Wang Laohu said: "My lord, let me say, there are no victims in this matter at all, there are no victims, this hurtful incident does not exist, and there are no hurtful incidents, so how can there be any witnesses." ”

"Lord Wang, you ......"

"I think this matter will end here, and if there are no new incidents, let's stop it." Wang Laohu suggested.

Now this meeting is no longer decided by the county magistrate, as Wang Laohu said, without this so-called incident, without the victim, there will be no perpetrator, and this matter can only be over.

The county magistrate had no choice but to say, "Retreat." ”

In the back hall of the county office, the county magistrate paced over angrily, and patted the chair in the hall from time to time. He didn't expect such a clear case to be overturned all of a sudden, and it must have been Liu Gongzi's people who did it.

At this time, Wang Laohu also came to the back hall, and when he saw that he was so persistent in this matter, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

"Lord Xu, do you know why this matter has happened to be earth-shattering?" Wang Laohu said to the county magistrate.

"It was Liu Gongzi's people who did it behind his back." The county commander said angrily.

"Now that you know the relationship, why don't you learn to let yourself go?" Wang Laohu said.

"I can spare myself, but what about the few victimized people?"

"If you are in charge of them, will they be able to live a good life with their hearts? Can this Liu Gongzi be able to subdue the law? Wang Laohu said.

"I am the official of Fengchuan's parents, I want to ask for the people's life and be the master of the people, I would rather not have this black yarn hat, but also cut off this foolish case!"

"Lord Xu's persistent thoughts are admirable, but sometimes people have to learn to be flexible, and it's better not to do things when they touch stones. As the saying goes, whether it is the way of employing people or the way of doing things, we must learn to be flexible and flexible, and we must learn to survive in the cracks, so as to give full play to our talents and strengths to the greatest extent. ”

"Lord Wang said this, is this matter also related to you?"

"I appreciate Lord Xu's personality, and if I can, I want to be a brother with Lord Xu."

"Lord Wang is a high and powerful person, how can I have such qualifications to be a brother with you." The county magistrate rejected Wang Laohu's request.

In ancient times, there were several kinds of worship, or they had the same interests and hobbies, which were called like-mindedness; or have the same purpose, or have the same interests

。 Wang Laohu and the county magistrate in front of him had no intersection in this regard at all, so they were rejected.

"Lord Xu, think about it, what happened in this matter, how many people came to intercede for Liu Gongzi, or put pressure on him, do you think this matter is a pure and simple case?"

"In my opinion, this matter is simply a matter of a ruffian bully bullying the people, who does it matter who is behind him?"

"This is where I like you, people live in the world, how can they not have their own position, their own beliefs, but it also depends on the time, if you have enough strength, or this periphery allows you to do this."

"I have different political views from Lord Wang, so I don't think I need to say any more."

"Okay, that's all for now. Tomorrow's Fengchuan injury and disability case, how will the adults pronounce the verdict? Wang Laohu asked.

"I'll find out about this, there must be someone behind this case."

"The case will be decided tomorrow, so there's not much time left for you."

In the evening, Wang Laohu took a temporary residence.

"Sure enough, as expected by the child, the county magistrate went to see the victim and asked them about the situation." Feng Shengdao.

"The result?"

"He didn't get anything, so he came back disappointed."

"Do you think I'm doing the right thing?" Wang Laohu asked Feng Shengdao.

"Liu Gongzi has been relying on his own wealth, and he has always been powerful in the township, and he has also caused a lot of trouble. But nothing happened until the county magistrate took office, and he wanted to make some achievements and take Liu Gongzi under the knife. However, there is someone above Liu Gongzi. Childe was also forced to do this. ”

"I sometimes think, it's obviously wrong to do this, but still do this, black can't be black, white can't be white, this is the so-called people in the rivers and lakes, can't help themselves."

"This matter has become a fact, at most, Liu Gongzi will be arrested and locked up for a few years, it is not as good as what Gongzi did, giving people money and making people feel at ease."

Wang Laohu smiled and said, "I hope this matter will pass like this." ”

Liu Gongzi was acquitted, but several victims were forced to hit 30 boards. Fortunately, Wang Lao Hu interceded for them, and the thirty boards were changed to the top ten boards.

Wang Laohu rescued Liu Gongzi and solved this matter, thinking that this matter would pass like this, but the truth was far from what Wang Laohu thought.

The county magistrate of Fengchuan County was chased and killed by unknown masked men on the way and was seriously injured.

Wang Laohu led people to the accident site, which is a small street in Fengchuan, and the flow of people is not large. And when the accident happened, it happened to be close to night, and there were not many people, so there were few eyewitnesses.

Wang Laohu stopped on the street for a long time, and on this small street made of bluestone, except for the traces of blood left at the time of the incident, there were no other useful clues. He thought about the appearance of these masked people, and thought about why he wanted to kill the county commander.
