"Lord Prefect, Xiaomin is wronged, the injustice is as deep as the sea, Xiaomin's son sells vegetables in the town, because he doesn't want to be exploited by the Chen family's subordinates and be disabled, please prefect to make decisions for Xiaomin!"

As Master Chen was dragged away by the officers, after a short period of calm at the scene, a sad and angry voice suddenly sounded, and an old man in shabby clothes took advantage of the unpreparedness of the servants to maintain order, rushed through the blockade of the officers and ran to Lu Xiaoming, kowtowing while accusing the Chen family of evil deeds. ?Eight? (8) Chinese ?.? 8 (8) 1 (1) Z (8) .? C(a) O?M?

Several messengers rushed forward to take the old man away, and Lu Xiaoming waved his hand when he saw this, and then stepped aside.

"Old man, what you said about the grievances is the truth?" Then, Lu Xiaoming asked the old man who was kowtowing quietly.

"Lord Hui, what Xiaomin said is true, poor my son can only lie on the bed and become a waste now, if Xiaomin leaves in the future, how can he live!" The old man raised his head when he heard this, and said bitterly.

"The prefect, the small people also have grievances, the Chen family has occupied a few acres of ancestral fertile land of the small people, and the small people have no way to sue."

"Lord Prefect, Xiaomin's relatives were beaten to death because they did not pay the Chen family's fishing tax, leaving only orphans and widows, which is miserable."

"My lord, the second son of the Chen family has forcibly occupied the new wife of his brother, which is simply inferior."

"Lord Prefect, the people of the Chen family forcibly occupied the shop in the town, making it impoverished and difficult to move forward."

"Lord Prefect, the villain's ancestral calligraphy and painting were snatched away by the Chen family, and I hope the adults will call the shots."

……

With the old man's cry, the people at the scene exploded in an instant, and many people squeezed forward with emotion, loudly accusing the Chen family's evil deeds, making the situation noisy and chaotic.

Seeing this, the guards brought by Li Hongyu immediately rushed forward to surround the pergola, facing outward, pressing their hands on the hilt of the waist knife, looking vigilant to prevent anyone from approaching.

"Fellow villagers, folks, listen to me, if you are bullied by the Chen family, you will take the case to the government and file a complaint, and the official will personally try it at that time."

Due to the surging emotions of the people, Lu Xiaoming was worried that the situation at the scene would get out of control, so he stood up and shouted loudly while pressing down his hands.

After speaking, Lu Xiaoming walked into the pergola quickly and begged Li Hongyu, Zhao Xin and Zhang Shan to leave this place to avoid accidents.

Lu Xiaoming also had to do it as a last resort, there were too many people who came to see the excitement today, and the number of errand soldiers on the scene was limited, and it was difficult to control the situation once the situation got out of control.

Li Hongyu knew Lu Xiaoming's thoughts, considering that there were many people outside and the situation was complicated, if something happened, today's public trial would not be able to end perfectly, so he led Zhao Xin and others to leave.

"Look, Scholar Li is out!"

"Who is Scholar Lee?"

"The one at the front, of course."

"Scholar Li is so young, I thought he was forty or fifty years old."

"When Mr. Li won the top prize, he was not weak, so he was naturally young."

……

As Li Hongyu and the others walked out of the pergola, the people at the scene hugged him one after another to see his appearance up close, to see the demeanor of the young master of the Ming Dynasty, and to talk in private.

"Bachelor's degree, bachelor's ......"

Li Hongyu smiled and waved to the people along the way, showing a friendly side of the people, which made the people on the scene suddenly boil and shouted in unison.

Compared with the title of "Young Master", the people of Daming are more familiar with the position of "University Scholar", so they still call Li Hongyu "University Scholar", after all, Li Hongyu's current main job is Zuo Chunfang University Scholar.

In the cheers of the people, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin got into the carriage and were surrounded by Zhang Shan, Lu Xiaoming and others and left, causing the people at the scene to follow like a tide, and they should see Li Hongyu off.

"Son, your luck is that you met Scholar Li and Scholar Zhao who were interviewed privately by Weifu, and your grievances have been washed away, and you can be reincarnated with peace of mind in the future."

Zhang Laohan knelt in front of the grave, tears raining down, how could he not know that this time the coffin was opened for autopsy and successfully made Master Chen convicted because of the appearance of Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin, otherwise he would definitely be wronged.

Several old men of the Zhang family stepped forward to persuade Zhang Laohan and commanded the Zhang clan to re-bury the boss of the Zhang family, and the case of the boss of the Zhang family could be questioned by Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin, two scholars.

He ...... He turned out to be a scholar of Li University! ”

In the crowd, Liu San, who was dressed as an honest farmer, looked at the direction of Li Hongyu and his party leaving with a stunned expression, his face was full of shock, he never imagined that the person who had a drink with him in Poyang Lake a few days ago would be a young master in Daming, and the shock in his heart can be imagined.

Because the second son of Chen was involved, the case of the Zhang family was a major event in Jiujiang Mansion and even the Poyang Lake area, so many people came from other places to see the excitement, including Liu San.

When Zhang Laohan sued Chen Ergongzi and was accepted by Lu Xiaoming, Liu San's heart was quite surprised, because when he and Li Gongzi were drinking on Poyang Lake that day, Li Gongzi had told him that the Chen family was going to fall.

At that time, Liu San didn't believe Li Gongzi's words, the Chen family's power in Poyang Lake was intertwined, powerful, and stood for more than 100 years without falling.

It is not surprising that Zhang Laohan sued Chen Ergongzi, although the Chen family is wealthy and powerful in Poyang Lake, there are always those people who are bullied and ruthless who are desperate to sue for death.

However, the local yamen would not accept this kind of complaint at all, and Lu Xiaoming uncharacteristically overturned the case for the Zhang family this time, and also detained Chen Ergongzi, which immediately made Liu San aware of something unusual.

Therefore, Liu San deliberately rushed over to see the excitement, and when Zhang Shan appeared, he thought that the case of the Zhang family was going to be suppressed, but who knew that at this time, two scholars, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin, appeared, which made the situation turn around.

At the beginning, because Li Hongyu was far away from Liu San, he couldn't see Li Hongyu's appearance clearly, so he deliberately stepped forward and witnessed Li Hongyu's appearance when Li Hongyu left, and then he was stunned like a lightning strike.

The young scribe who was surrounded by Zhang Shan, Lu Xiaoming and other officials like a moon was Li Gongzi, who was drinking with him on Poyang Lake that day.

"Boss, do you know Scholar Li?" After hearing Liu San's emotion, a big man standing next to him couldn't help but look at him suspiciously.

"I wouldn't have known Scholar Lee, but I didn't expect Scholar Li to be so young." Liu San suddenly came back to his senses when he heard this, smiled and waved his hand, but there was excitement and excitement between his eyebrows.

If the government wants to appease the water bandits on Poyang Lake, then Liu San will definitely be vigilant in his heart, worried that this is a trap of the government, but Li Hongyu is different, as the central minister of the Ming Dynasty, he will definitely not make this joke with Liu San, otherwise he will not go to see him in person.

Therefore, Liu San was ready to accept Li Hongyu's suggestion to disband his water bandits after the Chen family fell, so that those who were forced to live in peace of mind, and then led some people to the south to join the water division to find a way out for the future.

Of course, with Li Hongyu's promise, Liu San definitely doesn't have to worry about the people in the government making trouble with those "good" water bandits, but the premise is that those water bandits have no life lawsuits in their hands, and they have not seriously injured innocent people.

In fact, Liu San thought that when he dismissed his bandits, the local government did not bother those people, so that they could live and work in peace.

With the dissolution of Liu San's forces and the Cao Gang's entry into Poyang Lake to control the local situation, the rest of the bandits, large and small, were either disbanded or destroyed by the joint encirclement and suppression of the government and the Cao Gang, and the situation in Poyang Lake gradually stabilized.

The arrest of Master Chen made the people realize that the Chen family was finished, so those who had been bullied and exploited by the Chen family in the past took the case to the Jiujiang Mansion to complain.

Since the people who sued the case were not only the people under the jurisdiction of Jiujiang Prefecture, but also the people from other state capitals, the presiding judge of the case became Zhang Shan, the Jiangxi prosecutor, and Lu Xiaoming retreated to become a juror, so that there was no objection to jurisdiction.

Zhang Shan didn't have much friendship with Master Chen when he first arrived, so naturally he would not shield and favor him, but regarded this case, which was valued by Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin, as a major achievement of his local government, and naturally handled it carefully.

It's strange to say, the Donglin Party and the Qichu and Zhejiang parties and other factions fought to the death in the court, while Zhang Shan and Lu Xiaoming, the two officials of the Donglin Party and the Zhejiang Party, worked together to handle the case, and it has to be said that it is a great miracle in the Ming officialdom.

The reason for this is naturally because of the intervention of Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin, which made Zhang Shan and Lu Xiaoming calm and cooperate in the trial of the case, and then take what they need from the Chen family's case.

It is worth mentioning that because the Chen family's case involved the illegal salt business, the Yamen of Lianghuai Salt Road also sent people to assist in the investigation.

Originally, the two Huai Yan Dao Yamen would definitely resist this kind of case, and would not let Zhang Shan and Lu Xiaoming investigate the filth in the Yan Dao Yamen, anyway, the two sides belong to two systems and do not belong to each other, and the two Huai Yan Dao Yamen are not afraid of Jiangxi's yamen at all, even if the governor of Jiangxi comes in person, he is helpless.

But the key is that Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin intervened in the case, which made the Lianghuai Yandao Yamen have to pay attention to it and immediately sent personnel to assist in the investigation of the case.

In the end, the Lianghuai Salt Road Yamen found out a five-grade official from the inside to settle the case of the Chen family's trafficking in illicit salt, which was regarded as giving Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin an explanation, lest Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin take advantage of the situation to investigate the Yandao Yamen, which would be a catastrophe at that time, and they didn't think that the dirty things in the Yandao Yamen could be concealed from these two youngest scholars in the Ming Dynasty.
