Chapter 168: Father-in-law
Wen Chengyan has always loved the people like a son, although he has not been in office for a long time, but the official voice has already spread all over Lanzhou City, and several people such as the Thai shopkeeper have naturally heard of it.
As the biggest sufferer, the shopkeeper rushed to kneel down in the hall, and complained about Xu Zizhen with tears and snot, he naturally would not say that he cheated money with moldy cloth and satin, but only said that Xu Zizhen used the bag in his store to blackmail his money.
Then there was the restaurant shopkeeper and the noodle shop proprietor, the two accused Xu Zizhen of leading the army to oppress the good people, and the whole street was surrounded by him with tens of thousands of people, and even threatened them with knives and guns, forcing them to enter the barracks to cook and deliver beef.
At this time, the accomplices who came with the three of them also gathered outside the public hall and coaxed, talking in unison about Xu Zizhen's various evil deeds, anyway, in their eyes, Xu Zizhen is a ruffian, a bully, using military power for personal gain, and the crime is extremely evil!
Wen Chengyan listened quietly, his face remained silent, and after everyone made a fuss for a while, he smiled and said: "So you and the others are all deeply victimized by them, but I don't know if you have any evidence?" ”
The shopkeeper of Tai was the first to shout: "My lord, what the little one said is true, there is no lie, if you want evidence, many neighbors outside this door are human witnesses, please judge clearly!" ”
"Please be clear!"
The victim trio knelt on the ground and kowtowed, looking bitter and hateful, and at this moment, a sneer suddenly came from outside the hall: "Hmph! It seems that Lao Tzu has not taught you enough, and you dare to sue me? Well, there's a kind! ”
The shopkeeper suddenly jumped up, pointed at Xu Zizhen and shouted, "My lord, just ...... That's him! ”
Xu Zizhen ignored him, walked to the front of the hall and hugged Wen Chengyan with a fist, which was considered a salute: "My lord, I'm here." ”
Wen Chengyan nodded and asked very kindly: "Zizhen, these three people accused you of doing evil and oppressing good people, what do you think of this matter?" ”
How to see? The three people below were stunned for a moment, how could there be such a question, it seemed that he was not a defendant, but more like a head catcher.
Xu Zizhen sneered: "What can I think, this old boy used moldy cloth to steal beams for pillars to pit my money, which made me unhappy, so I took my brothers to him to ask for an explanation, it's as simple as that." ”
The Thai shopkeeper jumped up again: "You...... You're talking nonsense! ”
Wen Chengyan tapped lightly on the public case: "Let's listen to him." ”
His voice was not loud, but naturally with a kind of majesty, the Thai shopkeeper was excited, and he opened his mouth but still didn't dare to speak again.
At this time, a group of people gathered outside the public hall at some point, and they all stood on tiptoe to look at the excitement, and it seemed that many people knew the Thai shopkeeper, and they were pointing and whispering outside the door.
Xu Zizhen had already caught a glimpse of it from the corner of his eye, and he was happy in his heart, these people who watched the excitement were all recruited by the official just now, there was a night market near the yamen, and this was the time to be lively.
The popularity has been reached, Xu Zizhen is no longer rubbing, he stood in the hall with his arms in his arms, and told him about the fact that he went to Taiji Cloth Village to buy satin and was dropped, and also said that the restaurant shopkeeper and the noodle shop owner helped him, and then raised his chin outside the hall, and Liu Feng walked in with a few rolls of cloth and the crowd.
Xu Zizhen pouted at the unpacked mustbnu: "Look, this is the physical evidence." ”
A few rolls of cloth have been dismantled and a large section is exposed outside, not to mention Wen Chengyan, even the people who watched the excitement outside the hall saw the mildew spots on the top, obviously many people know about the love of people in Taiji Buzhuang, and the discussion outside the hall suddenly increased a few points.
Wen Chengyan glanced at the cloths, his face was unhappy or angry, and he couldn't see what he meant.
The shopkeeper Tai was in a hurry, and was about to open his mouth to defend himself, but Xu Zizhen slapped him in the face, pushed him aside, walked to the noodle shop proprietress and stood still, looked at her condescendingly and said, "You know me, right?" Tell me, who is Lao Tzu? ”
The proprietress wanted to deny it, but remembering the hundreds of knives under his hand, she still nodded hesitantly: "Yes, the general is Jin...... The god of war of Jinchengguan. ”
Wow!
The crowd outside the hall suddenly stirred, and everyone's eyes were focused on Xu Zizhen.
Jincheng Pass was besieged twice, how could the people of Lanzhou not know the way, and Xu Zizhen broke into the Western Xia army alone, especially the first time he rushed into the enemy formation alone and killed the pioneer general of the Xia army in an instant, this matter has already been spread throughout the entire Lanzhou City, and there are even many storytellers who talk about this in the teahouse every day.
And this brave and incomparable god of war is actually standing alive in front of him at this moment, not to mention how excited everyone is, but the situation seems to be a little wrong at the moment, why did this hero become a defendant today?
Xu Zizhen turned around and hugged his fists outside the hall, and said loudly: "Everyone, my name is Xu Zizhen, not a god of war, it is all the defenders who are close to the brothers holding me, it is better to meet by chance, since you are here, then I want to ask everyone to be a witness today!" ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly grinned: "Let's talk about something first, I will get married in a few days, and one of the people present will be counted as one, remember to come and drink a bowl of wine from my brother!" ”
Wow!
There was a commotion outside the hall again, the god of war is getting married? This is a hero who protects hundreds of thousands of people in Lanzhou City, isn't that a big deal?
Immediately, someone shouted: "The god of war is overjoyed!" I'm going to ask for a bowl of this wine! ”
There are also people who love to follow the wind, coaxing, making good-natured jokes, and some who say that they want to make clothes for the groom for the god of war, and some who say that they want to help him make furniture, Xu Zizhen, the hero, has already taken root in their hearts, and at this time, when they look closely, they find that he is so kind and easy to speak, and anyone has a good impression of him.
Xu Zizhen pressed his hands, and then said: "It stands to reason that getting married is a great joy, but when I went to buy a bride price today, this Thai shopkeeper added a block to me. As he spoke, he pointed to the rolls of moldy cloth, "This old bastard fooled me with this thing, and now he sues me in turn, everyone, who do you think should be sued for this?" ”
The crowd suddenly exploded, everyone is superstitious these years, and the satin noodles used by relatives have become moldy cloth, which is enough to make people unbearable, not to mention that it has been replaced with linen cloth for funerals, and the object is still a hero admired by everyone in Lanzhou!
Almost everyone outside the hall glared at the Thai shopkeeper fiercely, and a few of the more angry ones even scolded regardless of the authority of the court, if it wasn't for the official at the door to stop them, I was afraid that the Thai shopkeeper would have been beaten.
Xu Zizhen pressed his hand again, and the crowd slowly quieted down, he still hugged his arms, glanced at the Tai shopkeeper and the other three who didn't dare to say anything, suddenly turned to look at Wen Chengyan, and raised his chin very casually: "Father-in-law, I have explained everything, you can watch and do it." ”
The audience was suddenly silent, everyone looked at Xu Zizhen dumbfounded, and the trio of Tai shopkeepers were even more dumbfounded.
