"You...... Who are you looking for, where are you calling, you went to the wrong door, you get out! Su Cheng said as he pushed the fisherman out, pushing him and squeezing his eyes at him.

"Hey, Da Lang, what's wrong with you, it's me, Han Si, I'm here to bring you a carp, look, how happy."

"I ...... You, you must have gone to the wrong door, I don't know you. Su Cheng grinned at the fisherman, but Han Si was stunned in ignorance. Su Cheng was afraid that he would stab the old bottom, so he kicked him under the crotch, and after a miserable scream, Han Si covered his crotch and couldn't get up, and two red carp weighing more than ten pounds jumped violently on the ground.

"Why are you still stunned, the murderer committed the murder on the spot, shouldn't he take it on the spot?" Li Mao coldly glanced at the four headhunters, and the four of them looked at each other, so they could only step forward to arrest them.

"I'm innocent, I don't know this person at all, what crime did I commit, hey, which of you dares to arrest me, how much benefit did you take from my Su family, how dare you turn your face and not recognize people? Hi, you're still really ......."

The four catchers were exposed by Su Cheng in front of Li Mao The fact of accepting bribes was shocked, their faces were red and swollen, and they were afraid that Su Cheng would say something bastard, so they gave each other a look and shot to catch Su Cheng.

Su Cheng saw that the four catchers were backwater, so he ran to the inner house, and was tripped by a catcher's leg, and the four catchers rushed up, pinched their necks, pressed their heads, twisted their arms, and pressed their thighs, and immediately caught them.

The two auxiliaries shook off the chain and were about to put it around Su Cheng's neck, but they heard someone shouting in the inner house:

"Stop!"

Seeing Feng Bu and Su Zheng walking out one after the other, the two auxiliaries hurriedly retreated. Feng Bu walked up to Li Mao and bowed, and said in a deep voice, "Please take a step to speak." Led Li Mao to the side and said: "The old justice is the master who led me into the industry, a teacher for one day, a father for life, without his old man's teachings and support, Feng Bu would not be where he is today." I implore the gold to make the net open, and the great grace and virtue Feng Bu are unforgettable. With that, he took off his dress and knelt down for Li Mao.

Li Mao hurriedly picked him up and said, "The matter has come to this point, how easy is it to cover it up?" Judicial Feng does not forget his old kindness, but let me ask you, how did you save him, did you want to ignore the law of the country? Feng Bu said: "The law of the country is like a mountain, how dare Feng Bu bend the law, just ask to catch the golden envoy and raise his noble hand and give the Su family a chance to repent." ”

Li Mao said: "I understand what Judicial Feng means, but even if I am willing, are the people of Su Xiaodu willing, as a judge, you should know that the punishment should be made public, and the people should be allowed to observe." The people of Su Xiaodu hate the Su family for encroaching on their farmland, how can they give up, hundreds of pairs of eyes are staring, how can they be hypocritical? ”

Su Zheng hurriedly said: "Da Lang is young and vigorous, and he doesn't know how to be accommodating, which offended the neighbors, so that today's catastrophe happened. Tonight, we will go door-to-door to apologize, return those who occupy others, compensate others for those who harm others, and even if they are bankrupt, we must settle the confused accounts that Da Lang owes over the years. Speaking of this, Su Zheng choked up and said: "My cousin only has this one unscrupulous son under his knees, if he ruins his reputation and breaks his bones, this family will be ruined." ”

Su Zheng is the housekeeper of the Su family, and his words are obviously on behalf of Su Gui. Li Mao saw that the goal had been achieved, and he pretended to think for a moment, then nodded, and turned to look at the fisherman Han Si who was rolling on the ground. Please rest assured, his brother's medical expenses fell on the Su family, and then he gave him ten yuan to support the family, what do you think? ”

Li Mao said: "This ...... It's between you, and I don't interfere. ”

Su Zheng was overjoyed, and hurriedly beckoned Li Mao, Feng Bu, Han Zi and others to enter the main hall for tea. Not long after, Su Gui changed into a new robe and came to the court, and gave a deep salute to Li Mao, who was disgusted with his courtesy and hurriedly got up to bow back.

Su Gui sighed and said ashamedly: "There is such a rebel, it is Su Gui who has no way to teach. Today, the golden envoy raised his noble hand, and Su Guiming felt five. In the future, we will strictly supervise him to make sure that he can reform and become a new person. ”

Accompanied by a bowl of tea, the banquet came up, Su Gui ordered Su Cheng to come up and take the cup for everyone, Su Cheng's former majesty was beaten away, and at this moment, he beat his spirit, barely squeezed out a smiling face, and flattered left and right.

Su Gui called a few elders with heads and faces in the village to accompany him, and they were also happy.

The fifty native soldiers were placed in two rooms, and more than a dozen lamps and candles were lit, shining as bright as day, and the seven sons and nephews of the Su family accompanied each other.

After the meal, the Su family chartered an inn in Zhuangzi, with one room for each of the native soldiers, and one room for each of the Han Zi and several auxiliary soldiers. Su Gui swept the two upper rooms in his house for Li Mao and Feng Bu to live in, and made the prostitutes sleep, but Li Mao thought she was fat and did not accept her.

Early in the morning of the second day, the Su family prepared a sumptuous breakfast, Su Gui personally accompanied, and after the meal, Feng Bu tied Su Cheng and Han Si with a hemp rope and led them out of the village. Before leaving Su Xiaodu, the Su family gave each soldier a gift, wrapped into a linen bag, in addition to the dried bacon and fish that concealed people's ears, there was also a string of yellow new copper coins.

Tolerance and local soldiers often get gifts when they go to the countryside to handle cases, and it is natural to get used to receiving them. As for the reason for giving gifts, no one is stupid, so they naturally know it.

Li Mao, Feng Bu, and Han Zi did not get such a burden, not because the Su family was negligent, but because the burden was too small to fit the Su family's intentions.

Out of the south gate of Su Xiaodu, the sun has just risen, the hoarfrost in the vast fields is melting, a layer of light mist is rising, and the ditches and embankments on both sides of the road are crowded with local villagers, who gather here early in the morning, stomping their feet one by one, sighing, shrinking their necks, and crying from the cold.

The elders of Su Xiaodu Township stopped in the middle of the road with a few Li Zheng and a group of white-haired old men from their hometowns, and saluted respectfully to Li Mao, who was sitting on the mule, and Li Mao hurriedly returned the mule.

The elders and villagers were mobilized by the Su family to intercede for Su Cheng, and Su Gui fulfilled his promise, but he didn't get Li Mao's statement, and he couldn't rest assured. Li Mao made a circle to the Quartet, and said loudly: "The law is clear, the legal net is restored, and those who do evil will be punished, and there will be good retribution for good." Those who can sincerely change their lives are very good, and I think God will open up the net. ”

The elder and a few white-headed old men understood this sentence, and as for whether the villagers could understand it, Li Mao didn't bother to care.

After keeping Li Mao last night, Su Gui sent Su Zheng into the city overnight, Li Mao promised to let Su Cheng go, but how to operate had to find a way by himself. Su Gui has been operating in the county government for 20 years, some of them have personal connections, and there is no shortage of money activities at home, so it is not difficult to promote this matter at all.

Xue Rong went to the court to inquire about the case that day, Han Si confessed that he was the one who fished and sold fish, and had nothing to do with Su Cheng, so he received sixty rods, took his confession in court, and let him draw a detainment. Xue Rong was shocked, and ordered the fisherman to be dragged down and beaten with sixty rods, and Su Cheng was released on the spot without guilt. The executioner in the yamen can not only open the stele with three sticks, but also beat an egg with a hundred sticks, and the ruthless hands should not say that they can beat sixty rods, and they can also take people's lives within six rods.

The scale between the light and the heavy is the way for the yamen officials to eat, and they are all practiced perfectly.

This is also the reason why Su Gui is willing to admit defeat, the people's hearts are like iron, the official law is like a furnace, let you be an iron King Kong man, as long as you enter the cage of the government, you can be kneaded into a mess. There is also a saying in the yamen that "the officials and the university crush people to death", Li Mao really wants to find trouble with Su Cheng, who dares to deceive the officials?

The Su family dotted up and down, and the sixty sticks were held high and lightly, and Han Si screamed again and again, but he only hurt his flesh and bones.

After the cane was finished, Xue Rong entrusted the county lieutenant Cui Li to inspect, and Cui Li was also among the Su family's dots, pretending to be a sample to inspect it, and reported that it was compliant and legal. Xue Rong was shocked and announced the closure of the case.

Han Si lay on the ox cart and bumped all the way back to Su Xiaodu, Su Gui fulfilled the benefits promised to him on the spot, sent someone to send his brother Han Yi to Caozhou Su Taiyi to see a doctor, and sent him back to Xiaogu Mountain on the shore of Yanhu Lake to recuperate. The matter seemed to be resolved satisfactorily, but Su Cheng couldn't hold his breath and couldn't swallow it, he said fiercely after drinking: "Damn, even if this beam is knotted, unless he is really a person who is as bright as a mirror, as cheap as water, and does not touch the slightest dirt, if I take the handle, I will kill him." ”

Su Zheng, who was at the same table, persuaded: "You are so dissatisfied, you dare to talk nonsense here!" He can take you once, he can take you a second time! If the fisherman doesn't come early or late, why does he come up at that juncture? Su Cheng blinked, and suddenly exclaimed in amazement: "Good girl, I obviously asked you to send someone to inform Han Si, how can you ...... **** him, this guy dares to scare me!" ”

Su Zheng shook his head and sighed: "Even an honest person like Lao Han can be bought by him, this person is not simple, such a person who is both scheming and powerful, it is better to ignore it!" Su Cheng said hatefully: "Then forget it?" I'm not convinced! ”

Su Zheng picked up the wine glass, sniffed the wine in the glass, and said with a smile: "If you don't accept it, you have to obey it, since ancient times, the people don't fight with the officials, who makes you a citizen and an official." ”

Su Cheng let out a "uh", his eyes were like copper bells, but the words were stuck in his throat and couldn't come out.

Chose an auspicious day, Su Gui opened the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors of the Su family, announced to the clansmen and the neighbors of Sili that he was back in charge of the family business, the first thing he did after he became a family was to send someone to demolish the dam built by Su Cheng on the canal, and donated money to repair the bridge and repair the road, set up a porridge shed to help the poor, and the villagers praised each other, and the reputation of Su Dashan people resounded all over Chengwu County.

As for Su Cheng, he was sent to Caozhou by Su Gui to learn the cloth business from his brother-in-law.
