"My lord, Xiaomin is a poor peasant boy from Baiyue Village, where can he collude with bandits? A few days ago, Lord Chengyang of the county heard the rumors and framed Xiaomin for having an affair with bandits, and he arrested Xiaomin's brother Qi Yanwu, saying that he would be strictly interrogated.

Lord Zhixian, Qi Yanwu is only a fourteen-year-old child, and it is impossible for him to collude with bandits.

Besides......" Zhou Zhi said this, deliberately spitting and spitting, looking very cowardly.

Without waiting for Chen Guangyao to speak, Yang Tong, the county magistrate on the side, interjected and asked, "You Diao Min talk a lot, what's more?" Don't say it yet! ”

Zhou Zhi was waiting for his words, and then said, "Besides, Xiaomin is a student of the county magistrate, and he is really wronged, and he asks the county lord to be the master of the county!" ”

He was afraid that there would be people who didn't know that he was a student of Zhixian, so he said it out loud at this time, and Chen Guangyao's face turned extremely red in an instant.

How could Yang Tong let go of such a good opportunity, and immediately said with a cold face, "A few days ago, the Japanese officials didn't arrest you because they saw the face of the magistrate, do you think that if you are a student of the magistrate, you can act recklessly, collude with bandits, kill people and set fires, and ignore the law of the country?" ”

After he finished speaking to Zhou Zhi, he turned to Chen Guangyao and said, "My lord, this is ...... What can be done? ”

Chen Guangyao glanced at Yang Tong, deliberately made a hesitant posture, and said, "The prince broke the law and was guilty of the same crime as the common people. Zhou Zhi colluded with the bandits and should be arrested. I wonder if the evidence of his collusion with the bandits is conclusive? ”

He spoke in a loud voice, and the threshing floor was so quiet that everyone present could hear it.

As soon as his words fell, the crowd was angry.

"Zhou Zhi colluded with the bandits, and it was he who attracted the bandits to make our lives unbearable! Lord Zhixian quickly arrested him and cut off his head! ”

Voices came and went, and there was a voice of condemnation.

The more the people were so indignant, the happier Yang Tong's heart became. Zhou Zhi is a student of Chen Guangyao, and his students colluded with bandits to plague the township, where is this Chen Guangyao's face still placed?

Hey! Chen Guangyao, Chen Guangyao, you should also be unlucky, what kind of student can't be accepted, you have to accept such a scum next week.

As for whether the evidence is conclusive or not, it doesn't really matter anymore. It is enough to have the voices of these people to denounce and scold at the moment, and it is necessary to know that the will of the people cannot be violated.

Yang Tong even heard the bolder people whispering, "What county? He's a dog officer! Only such a dog official can accept a student like Zhou Zhi. ”

Chen Guangyao naturally heard the various voices of the people clearly. However, at this time, he deliberately made a difficult posture, as if he was weighing left and right, and he couldn't make up his mind.

Suddenly, he looked at Yang Tong a little blankly.

Although Zhou Zhi was kneeling on the ground at this time, he had been carefully observing the situation at the scene. After thinking for a moment, Zhou Zhi suddenly asked Yang Tong loudly, "Lord County, the kid is a student of the county, these villagers insult the kid so much, aren't they ruining the reputation of the county magistrate?" Do you really want to listen to them and arrest the boy? ”

Zhou Zhi's demeanor at this time was very arrogant.

Although Yang Tong is a local snake, he still has to obey Chen Guangyao many times on the surface. Zhou Zhi was so arrogant at this time, which caused the anger in his chest to surge. With so many people dissatisfied with the county, Yang Tong felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he must take this opportunity to suppress Chen Guangyao, so that Chen Guangyao would never think of raising his head in the future.

Thinking like this, Yang Tong suddenly stood up, pointed at Zhou Zhi and shouted angrily, "You Diao Min is really hateful, you are a student of the county magistrate, and the county will not arrest you in violation of the law, but today I, Yang Tong, want to be the master of the people, I have to arrest you!" Come on, hit this Diao people for thirty boards first, and then take them away! ”

He said it with great anger and awe-inspiring justice.

Seeing that Yang Tong was made like this by Zhou Zhi, Chen Guangyao was secretly happy in his heart. Secretly said, good thoughtfulness, worthy of my Chen Guangyao's student, this student will become a great weapon in the future.

Hehe! At this time, Chen Guangyao and Zhou Zhi acted as if they were double reeds.

Chen Guangyao's face turned cold suddenly, and he said to Yang Tong, "Lord Yang will calm his anger for the time being, and allow this county to verify the evidence and make him clear, so that he can be convinced." ”

At this time, he was still in charge of Zhou Zhi, how could this be accepted by many people. Hearing his voice, the people shouted in chaos for a while, and those bold villagers shouted even louder, "Dog officer, what else can be tried?" You are wholeheartedly protecting Zhou Zhi and harming our people, what the county lord said is right, the county lord is our parent official! ”

In their view, the law does not hold the people accountable. Although he is usually very afraid of the county master, he is hot-headed today, and he thinks that it is okay to scold like this.

Jiang Bin always stood behind Chen Kuan Yew, and his duty was to protect Chen Kuan Yew's safety. Seeing that the people were so bold, Chen Guangyao was very different from usual, very cowardly. Although Jiang Bin didn't know what was going on, he still stepped forward and shouted loudly, "You are so bold to insult the magistrate, but I want to see who is scolding?" ”

While saying with a cold face, he quickly pulled out his waist knife.

Many of the officers also felt that the majesty of the magistrate was greatly threatened, and they also drew their swords and glared angrily at the people.

The people are afraid of the officials, in the final analysis, these are poor people, and seeing the anger of the servants, no one dares to speak for a while. Those who dared to scold Zhixian just now hurriedly shrank their necks at this time, looked at them in a daze, and the scene was quiet.

Chen Guangyao slapped the wood again and said to Zhou Zhi, "Zhou Zhi, you are so bold, you dare to provoke and slander Yang Xiancheng in front of this county." Don't think that you are a student of this county and you can do nonsense, since Yang Xiancheng arrested you and Qi Yanwu, there must be evidence! Hum! You Diao Min don't cry when you don't see the coffin, come here, take Qi Yanwu! Chen Guangyao said in a deep voice.

Chen Guangyao obviously wants to do enough foreplay, so that the county Cheng Yang Tong will be proud for a while.

Several messengers quickly pressed Qi Yanwu up.

Qi Yanwu's hair was messy, covered in blood, although he could still walk, but his steps were staggering, obviously he had suffered a lot from the county Cheng Yang Tong, Zhou Zhi couldn't help but feel secretly distressed when he saw it.

Qi Yanwu knelt on the ground, and without waiting for Chen Guangyao to ask, he said, "Lord Zhixian, Xiaomin did not collude with bandits, and my brother Zhou Zhi did not collude with bandits. The county lord just listened to the rumors of the people and arrested the small people, and tortured the small people to extract confessions. If the magistrate sits idly by, the little people will be beaten to death by Yang County! ”

He said that his relatives were very pitiful,

Qi Yanwu has hated Yang Tong in the county these days. Yang Tong arrested himself without evidence, and beat himself several times. He knew that the magistrate was Zhou Zhi's teacher, and at this time he finally met the magistrate, and in his mind, the magistrate would definitely make his own decisions.

Chen Guangyao was obviously very satisfied with what Qi Yanwu said just now, nodded slightly, and then looked at Yang Tong, his face was as usual, and asked, "Lord Yang, just now Zhou Zhi and Qi Yanwu both said that there is no definite evidence to confirm that they are bandits, how did Lord Yang determine that they colluded with bandits?" ”

Needless to ask, the statements of the many people in front of you are the best evidence. Yang Tong simply disdained to answer Chen Guangyao's idiotic question.
