In the Yahou Hall of Yushan County, an official in a green robe in his thirties was sitting behind the case to handle official business. This official is not tall, with a white face, a chin more than an inch long, and a short beard, which makes him look very dignified. This person was Sun Fujia, who was demoted by Li Yuan to Yushan County as a county magistrate, and when Chen Liyuan asked for a reduction in the number of military rations collected by the people in the court, Sun Fujia was already mentally prepared to be degraded.

After arriving in Yushan County this time, he was dealing with the official business left by his predecessor, and everything else was done, so he moved his wrist and looked at the dozen pieces of paper in front of him and smiled bitterly. These dozen or so pieces of paper are all accusing Tang Jiazhuang of being the official of the Qi Wangfu for the crimes of the evil village: arson and wound people, forcibly seize the land, and the servants hunt and trample on the green seedlings.

Sun Fujia has been in the capital for a long time, and he has long known what kind of character King Qi is, so it is not surprising that he raised such a slave.

Looking at the crimes on the paper, Sun Fujia was also angry. The commander of Yushan County was timid and afraid, although he did not help the abuse, but he did not punish these people, which made the people of Yushan County now resentful. If you're afraid, the official is still afraid! I even dare to speak out to your majesty, and I'm afraid that you're a dog in the Qi family? After taking the recital, he just wanted to write a chapter to impeach the king of Qi for his misdeeds and deeds, when he suddenly heard the sound of the drum at the door of the lobby outside.

The common people on the streets of Yushan County suddenly had a rare spectacle: four big men each wore a crime coat, and carried two stretchers in groups of two, and there were two people lying on the stretcher, and a cloth banner was inserted on the stretcher in front of him, on which was written "Surrender to self-defense, ask for a light sentence", and the second stretcher cloth banner read "The crime is extremely evil, and heaven cannot tolerate it".

The six of them walked down the street towards the county office. People have seen this there, and more and more people gather in the street, and they all follow a few people to see what they want to do, and when these people get to the door of the yamen and put their stretchers on the ground, a man picks up a drumstick and beats the drum.

"What's the matter with the guys? Why are you dressed like this to beat the drum to see the official" Sun Fujia sat in the hall and looked curiously at the six people kneeling on the ground.

The man who played the drum kowtowed and said: "Lord Sun, the villain's name is Huo Fei, and he used to mix with a few brothers in Chang'an, but to put it bluntly, he did some things in Chang'an City, but the villain has never committed a big evil." A year ago, a few of us came to Tang Qian's house in Tangjiazhuang to serve as his family's nursing home, and now the two people lying on the ground are named Feng Hu, who is a wanted criminal in Chang'an City. The other is Wen Saburo, who is a flower thief and is also arrested by the government. For more than a year, the two of them have been thugs in the Tang family, and they have bullied their neighbors, and the villain doesn't want to do it because he sees that what his family does is too immoral. I didn't expect these two people to want to go to Tang's house to denounce us, so the villain beat them down and broke their hamstrings, took them to defend themselves, and asked the adults to send the four of me lightly, this is the confession of the six of me, please be aware of it."

After saying that, Huo Fei put a stack of papers on his head, Sun Fujia asked people to take it, read the confession, and looked at the signatures and drawings of several people for a long time without thinking about it.

He knew very well in his heart that although he was upright, he was far from being able to rely on his reputation to make these robbers take the initiative to defend themselves, but the fact was that these people put their confessions on the table and honestly lay on the ground to defend themselves.

Walked over and looked down at the two people lying on the ground, who had been in Dali Temple for two years before leaving Chang'an, and had already heard of Feng Hu in Xishi, looked at Feng Hu's face, and reached out to open the clothes on Feng Hu's chest and saw the tattoo on his chest, which was sure to be Feng Hu.

Feng Hu just made a sound but couldn't speak, then Huo Fei said: "Adult, the little four people were a little heavier when they were arrested, this Feng Hu was stuffed with a walnut by us and still hasn't eased up, Wen Saburo was knocked out by us", Sun Fujia walked in front of Wen Saburo again, only to see that Wen Saburo seemed to have passed out a long time ago.

"Since you have captured the important criminals of the court, although the punishment is heavier, the official can understand, since the four of you have committed crimes and made meritorious contributions, the official will also be punished lightly, why are you in the Tang family?" Sun Fujia asked.

"Back to the adults, the villains did something to lose their conscience in the capital, and then they were chased by the government and were ready to find a backer, so they met Tang Yaozong, the chief official of the Qi Palace, through people, and he brought the villain to his Zhuangzi. After arriving here, Feng Hu and Wen Sanlang's bad habits were difficult to change, so they relied on the support of the head of the Qi Palace, and the former county officials did not dare to do anything wrong in the township," Huo Fei said.

"Oh, that means that the head of the Qi Palace's Mansion is secretly harboring and shielding important criminals in the court, and he is a disaster for the township?" Sun Fujia asked.

"Yes, the confessions of the small ones are clearly written, all of them are signed and detained, and there is no lie."

Sun Fujia nodded after listening, there are confessions, there are witnesses, he has not been punished, this is an opportunity to send it to the door.

"Come on, take the official's summons to pass Tang Qian and Tang Yaozong," Sun Fujia shouted.

The official had just gone out with the summons, and there were people beating drums outside, and when they called people in, they saw three honest farmers kneeling on the ground and crying and shouting kowtow to Sun Fujia.

The old farmer who led the way cried and said: "Lord, villain Qin Dade, my father and son are from Qinjialing, last month my daughter was harmed by the gangsters at night, but she couldn't think of jumping into the well and died, we reported to the official that the murderer has not been caught, today I heard that the murderer was caught as soon as you arrived, and the villain, please be sure to punish the murderer!" Qin Dade said with tears in his eyes.

"You said that Wen Saburo can lie on the ground", Sun Fujia pointed with his hand, and after the three of them heard it, they rushed over desperately and kicked Wen Saburo repeatedly, Qin Dade went up and bit Wen Saburo's arm and bit off a piece of meat.

"Silence! Don't mess around in the court! Come! Pull them away! Sun Fujia saw that the father and son beat Wen Saburo for a while, and he was a little angry before he asked the official to pull the three of them away.

As soon as the three of them were pulled apart and they heard the sound of grievances outside, Sun Fujia felt a headache, what is the matter today, everyone who complains dares to come together. Let the officials bring people in, and Lao Zhang Shun led two young people in with the paper, kneeling in front of Sun Fujia.

"What do you have to do with it?" Sun Fujia asked.

"The villain Zhang Shun for more than 40 people in Tangjiazhuang, please the lord for us justice, we used to live in Tangjiazhuang for generations, since Tang Yaozong of Tangjiazhuang became the head of the Qi Palace, his family harbored the criminals and ruffians as thugs, the year before last we forcibly took away all the land of dozens of people and injured the villain and others, dozens of our people finally fell to Li Zhuang by Xiao Haili is taking in before alive. The poor villain and Tang Yaozong's father Tang Li still grew up since childhood, and his family didn't even recognize the villagers, and the livestock were not as good, so please ask the master to avenge us."

Old Zhang Shun had a handful of snot and tears when he spoke, and after finishing speaking, he put the paper on his head. Sun Fujia took the paper and looked at it, and couldn't help but admire: "Good words!" Where did the words on the pleadings come from? Ahem.....", think now is not the time to ask this.

Sun Fujia hurriedly changed his words and said, "Then do you have a title deed?" ”

"Yes! This is a small family of more than 40 people with a land deed of 300 acres", Zhang Shun hurriedly took out the title deed from his arms and handed it over.

"Is there any evidence for that?"

"Li Zheng Xiao Hai, who took us in, is waiting outside for the adults to speak."

"Spread Xiao Hai," Sun Fujia shouted.
