Before going out, Tang Yaozong touched and touched the letter on his chest for fear of losing it, it was a letter written by his sister Tuodang Chao Shangshu's right servant Pei Lin to Sun Fujia. It seems that his sister has also bothered a lot for her family, and she knows that she will win this lawsuit without fighting.

Can you Sun Fujia not give face to Lord Zaifu when he is a cow? Old Tang Qian also got into the carriage behind him, and asked the servant to bring up the box, and the box was prepared for Sun Fujia, Tang Yaozong triumphantly rode on the horse and followed the carriage and went straight to the county seat.

As soon as I entered the county seat, I saw two officials walking towards me, and I had seen these people when I was drinking with the former county officials before, although I couldn't name them, but I had an impression. After the two officials came over, they said to Tang Yaozong: "Steward Tang, my grandfather is invited, this is a summons for you to accept."

Sun Yaozong didn't even bend down and stretched out his hand to take the summons and said: "There are two brothers, I will give you a few more kind words when I meet with you Lord Sun for a drink."

"Let's wait until you see our county master first," a servant replied nonchalantly.

Entering the county hall, Tang Yaozong saw several people who were originally thugs in their own house kneeling on the ground, these people ran away a few days ago, and it seemed that they were caught by the county master, Lao Zhang Shun took two people to stand under the hall and looked at him with angry eyes, and three people who didn't know him and gritted their teeth at him.

He snorted heavily in his nostrils, glanced at these people with contemptuous eyes, and after reading it, he tilted his head and carried Old Tang into the lobby. When he arrived in the hall, he arched his hand to Sun Fujia and said, "I've seen my lord," and after finishing speaking, he took out the letter from his bosom and prepared to hand it to Sun Fujia.

Knowing that Sun Fujia didn't answer the letter, he kept looking at him and ignored him without speaking, and waited for a while and said to him with a sneer: "Are you Tang Yaozong, the housekeeper of the Qi Palace?" ”

"Yes, this is Tang Li, the father of the next family," Tang Yaozong replied.

"Do you have a knighthood for your father and son?"

"Nope".

"Is that an official position?"

"Nope".

"Then why don't you see the official and see the courtesy, this alone I can cure you for the crime of contempt for the official, kneel!" Sun Fujia pointed at the Tang family's father and son and said.

Tang Yaozong's face turned from red to purple, since he became the head of the Qi Palace, how could he have suffered this kind of anger, when the officials of the five grades outside Beijing asked to see the King of Qi, they had to look at Lao Tzu's face, and they had to leave me a copy when they gave gifts to the King of Qi. Although you are a Beijing official, you can't still be demoted to be a mung bean sesame official.

I originally wanted to ignore Sun Fujia's set, but when I thought about it, the strong dragon couldn't suppress the snake on the ground, and what Sun Fujia said was close to him, it seemed that if he didn't kneel down, Sun Fujia would really clean him up, and it would be reasonable to be in the law and reason.

Tang Yaozong swallowed his anger and knelt down, held the letter high and said loudly: "Lord Sun, this is a handwritten letter written to you by Lord Pei Lian, the Duke of Wei State, please accept it!" There was a smug look in his tone.

"Submit it" After receiving the letter, Sun Fujia casually put it on the desk and asked Tang Yaozong: "Do you know what the official is looking for you?" ”。

"Please read the letter first, and then let the villain reply," Tang Yaozong said confidently.

"When will this official look at Lord Pei's credibility and remind you of Bai Ding, what do you know about this official passing you on?"

"The villain doesn't know, but the villain has a complaint to sue," Tang Yaozong saw that Sun Fujia's tone was not good, and he hurriedly said.

"Oh, you still have a complaint to sue? Tell me about it? ”

"The villain sued Xiao Hai and Zhang Shun and others for beating my servants and injuring people with secret arrows."

"Where did they beat your servants?"

"In Li Zhuang".

"Is there any physical evidence that the dark arrow hurts people?".

"Yes! The villain's injured servant brought the wounded to the hall at the end of his injury, and only brought arrows today, and now the arrows are presented" Tang Yaozong went to the hall to take the arrows back after speaking.

"Well, this official asks you, why were your people beaten in Li Zhuang? Let me ask you again, why is the arrow you took engraved with the words 'Tang Qi Palace, self-acting arrow', this arrow is so well-made, it is clearly your Qi Palace's things, this is what ordinary farmers can have, you are a fool to be an official? ! ”。

After Sun Fujia finished speaking, he threw the arrow at Sun Yaozong's feet, Sun Yaozong picked up the arrow and looked at it carefully, only to see that the arrow shaft was engraved with a few words the size of a soybean grain, "Tang Qi Palace, self-acting arrow", a few words carved relatively shallowly, you can't see it if you don't look closely, he was stunned for a moment.

Seeing that the momentum was not good, Old Tang Qi hurriedly said: "My lord, the source of this arrow is not clear, but it is a fact that Zhang Shun beat my servant by dozens of people."

At this time, Xiao Hai said next to him: "County master, this Tang father and son are talking nonsense and spewing blood, the old Zhang Shun originally had 300 acres of land in Tangjiazhuang was taken away by his father and son, and now he is living in my Li Zhuang, and his household registration has been approved by the previous grandfather, this time he Tang father and son also want to rob Zhang Shuntian's property, which is in my Li Zhuang's 300 acres of land was reclaimed by Zhang Shunxin last year, it is my two Zhuangzi people who really can't stand it to beat this group of villains in Li Zhuang, more than 300 people in the villain Zhuang can testify, He was so angry that he used arrows to falsely accuse Zhang Shun and me, and I dared to confront his evil servant in court."

What kind of quality is it, Tang Yaozong originally thought that he could turn things around with the letter of the prime minister of the dynasty, but he didn't prepare anything, but he didn't think that after arriving here, the script didn't come according to himself, and the father and son suddenly became exhausted.

Sun Fujia saw that the father and son of the Tang family were staring at each other for a while, and said: "Since your father and son have nothing to say, let me ask you, but the six people of Feng Hu in the hall are working as nurses in your house?"

"Yes".

"Then do you know that Feng Hu and Wen Saburo are the key criminals wanted by the court?"

"This ...... I don't know what to do".

"Good excuse, this is the confession of Feng Hu's six people, you can take a look", Tang Li's father and son suddenly broke out from their foreheads after seeing it.

"You have set up murder and robbed people and property, and harbored the court to commit crimes in the evil township, and now you are confusing black and white to frame the good, and now the evidence is conclusive, what crime should you be guilty of when your father and son are embarrassed and adulterous!" Sun Fujia angrily rebuked the Tang father and son.

"My lord, the villain is wronged," when the father and son were shouting to hit Tianqu, the people watching outside the entrance of the lobby were in chaos, and Tang Yaozong suddenly found that one of his henchmen rushed in despite the obstruction of the officials.

Seeing Tang Li's father and son, they shouted desperately: "Two masters, it's not good!" After you left, the old lady went to the treasure house in the side room to get something, and when she got to the door, she just opened the door and somehow triggered the mechanism, and shot a few arrows inside, but the old lady couldn't do it at that time, and when we pulled the old lady out, there was a big fire inside, and the little ones just put out the fire inside, and there was nothing in it, so the two old men went home and took a look."

After Tang Yaozong heard this, his head went blank, and Old Tang shook his body and spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Come on, go and call Langzhong", Sun Fujia also understood that he didn't want the person in the case to die in the court and cause trouble before the case was cleared.

After Tang Li woke up, he called Tang Yaozong over and whispered: "My son, we are too careless, we have fallen into the trap of others, and they are clearly pit us to death, this Sun Fujia is obviously a "strong-necked county order" who stands out for the people, if you want to kill Xiao Hai and Zhang Shun, you must first wash away the charges of harboring and bullying people, for the sake of today, the only way to do this is to carry everything down for your father first, and find a way to find your sister and King Qi to avenge after you get out, this time you must listen to your father."

After Old Tang Qi finished speaking, he spit out blood again, Tang Yaozong gritted his teeth and looked at Sun Fujia and Xiao Hai and Zhang Shun and others in the hall with resentful eyes, and nodded.

I saw Tang Yaozong get up and said to Sun Fujia: "My lord, the villain has been busy with the affairs of the Qi Palace, I didn't know anything about their situation before these people met me, they were all introduced by my father, since the villain became the steward of the King of Qi, he rarely went home, and these people who were looking for at home were also in charge of the family's father, and the villain didn't know anything about other situations."

"Oh, you pushed it clean," Sun Fujia glanced at Tang Li who was lying on the side meaningfully.

"Tang Qian, then let me ask you, is what your son said just now true?"

"Back to my lord, everything is true, everything is done by the villain," Old Tang replied weakly.

"Okay, then please sign the confession," Sun Fujia said.

Seeing that everyone had signed the confession, Sun Fujia cleared his throat and said: "Everyone, the official now announces the verdict: Huo Fei and the four of them will be given a light sentence because they surrendered to defend themselves and sent to the court to be brought to justice; Feng Hu and Wen Saburo have done a lot of evil and are important criminals in the court, and the official will report to the court and plan to be beheaded in the autumn; Tang Li harbored important criminals in the court and rampant servants in the township, and the official should have sent you to prison for thousands of miles, but you are old and sick and urgent, and the official authorized you to go home for treatment after being released on bail; Although Tang Yaozong didn't know it, you couldn't escape the responsibility, this official sentenced you to double the price of grain and rice you got from planting Zhang Shun's 300 acres of land, Qin Dade's daughter was mutilated because of your family's servants, and this official sentenced you to pay Qin Dade 300 yuan for funeral and upbringing, what else do you have to say? After the verdict was announced, Sun Fujia looked at the people in the hall and asked.

Xiao Hai bowed and said: "My lord, the villain still has something to say, the villain spent more than 200 yuan to lend Zhang Shun and others the year before last to lend Zhang Shun and them to build a house to survive the famine, if there is no Tang family father and son to do evil, the villain will not spend so much money, and the villain also asks the adult to sentence the Tang family and his son to compensate the villain's losses."

Sun Fujia thought for a while, and said to Xiao Hai: "As a township lizheng, although you are not an official, but saving Zhang Shun more than forty is enough to see that you have loyalty, benevolence, and righteousness, although it was the Tang father and son who drove Zhang Shun to you, you let you pay, but if all of him is unfair, the Tang family will pay half, and you and Zhang Shun will share half of the remaining 100 yuan, do you think this is good?" ”。

"My lord, the villain agrees," Tang Yaozong said with a vicious look at Xiao Hai.

"The adults are wise, the villains agree," Xiao Hai said after giving a salute.

"Tang Yaozong, this official heard that something happened to the Lingtang in your home, and there seem to be signs of theft in your home, do you need to send someone to inquire?" asked Sun Fujia.

"Thank you, my lord, the villain's family just had an accident, not a theft, don't worry about it," Tang Yaozong said.

He knew better than anyone else that most of the things in his treasure house were stolen from the Qi Palace, if Li Yuanji knew about it, with Li Yuanji's character, he would definitely pick his skin, and he was now dumb and couldn't say if he ate Huanglian.

After the verdict, Tang Yaozong came out of the court and came in with a box after a while, the generous gift that he originally wanted to give to Sun Fujia was now used here, and after opening the box, he saw a box of gold, silver, pearls and jade.

"Lord Sun, the villain's box is soft enough to compensate you, I admit this loss, let's come to Japan for a long time, now the villain has finished compensating you, now the villain's father is seriously ill, and the mother is newly mourning, please allow the villain to go home to deal with the aftermath to fulfill filial piety" Tang Yaozong said to Sun Fujia.

"The official is approved."

"Master Xie" Tang Yaozong hugged the old Tang Qian and got into the carriage and left in a hurry.

At night, when Huo Fei and a few people were sitting in Yushan County Prison, a shadow slipped down from the room, put something in front of everyone and quietly disappeared into the night.

Early the next morning, the people of Shenhewan, Lizhuang, Tangjiazhuang and Qinjialing villages beat gongs and drums to send Sun Fujia a more than three-foot-long text panel, on which was written in large characters "for the people's life", and the blank space under the word is four Zhuangzi and the fingerprints collected along the way, this kind of font has never been seen before, but it is full of spirit and spirit, which makes people look refreshed.

Looking at the dense fingerprint prints under the text panel, Sun Fujia thought that it would be worth dying in these four words in the future, so he casually threw Pei Lian's letter into the waste paper pile.
