Chapter Seventy-Eight: Self-inflicted iniquity

"Last month, I was still against Yang County's Lingyin, and I couldn't even enter the door today, what is the reason!" Chen Bian is not the one who suffers, he has been holding his stomach for a long time this night, and when he sees this soap, he will have a seizure immediately. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Chen Yuan persuaded him: "Second brother, press the fire first, it's not appropriate to make extraneous branches at this time, I'll go in and take a look, you find a place to sit, and I'll find someone to spread the news." "He has a position of official, so he can naturally enter.

"Thank you, Eighth Master." Soap Li looked at Chen Yuan gratefully.

Chen Bian glanced at Soap Li hatefully, and then said: "Count you lucky, go, go to the tea shop over there and sit first, eighth brother, you go quickly, it will change later." ”

After saying that, Chen Yuan followed Soap Li into the back hall and went straight to the back hall, walking and walking, Soap Li whispered: "Eighth master, you have to be ready, I heard that the county commander has a little prejudice against Chen Zhi." ”

"Does the county order have a prejudice against Chen Zhi? Where does this begin? Chen Yuan was puzzled in his heart, in his impression, Chen Zhi and the county order had no intersection at all.

When he came to the back hall, he looked behind the screen and saw that in the hall, Yang County Ling was asking what had happened.

“…… That's what Chen Zhi, he was dissatisfied with repaying the debt, so he set fire directly while I couldn't wait, and then fled back. ”

Bai Qing knelt in the hall, tears streaming down his face, after all, he was a rich Pengcheng, and his mouth was also sharp, and when he said it, he said things in a clear manner, and a group of gambling house stall owners on the side also catered to him, saying that this was the case.

According to him, it was they who asked someone to ask Chen Zhi for debts during the day, and then agreed to meet at night, but Chen Zhi was angry and did not repay the debts, and finally became evil and set fire to the building!

As soon as this logic was sorted out, the people outside the door immediately discussed.

"The ridiculous young master of the Chen family is ruthless enough, he set fire to the building, and he is lawless!"

"That old man Bai is also very domineering, and this time he met an even more domineering one."

"Isn't there still an official mansion here?"

"My relatives work as handymen in the Peng Mansion, and they say that several masters in the mansion have praised the seventh young master of the Chen family, why did he do such a thing as soon as he turned his face?"

There were a few Chen family members mixed in the crowd, it was difficult to squeeze to the front, so they could only prick up their ears to listen to the movement in the hall.

"How's it going?" Chen Bian and Chen Xun sat inside, and they didn't have the intention of drinking tea at all, so they asked as soon as they saw the family.

The family Ding bowed down and said: "Bai Qing, said that the seventh young master set fire in anger because he didn't pay back the money, and the situation is a little bad!" ”

"He farts!" Chen Bian's anger that he had held back for a long time came out at once, "A few taels of silver, can you make Xiao Qi angry?" Isn't that a joke! "But he knows, not long ago, Chen Zhi sent six taels to Fuzhong, and these six taels were all said to be sent, and he could still be annoyed because of a little gambling debt? Still setting fires?

"Just Xiao Qi's handwriting, just write a few more than that." Chen Xun also shook his head, and said, "Second brother, that white tiger spews blood, but this person has a lot of tricks, Xiao Qi is young after all, don't fall for him." ”

Chen Bian frowned, called a servant, and ordered: "You go to the back door of the yamen and shout a few times, inform the eighth brother, let him give Xiao Qi a breath, let him calm down, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Chen Xun nodded in agreement, and said: "Yes, you can't say more, it's too wrong to say too much, it's easy to be caught by others, stabilize the situation first, and let the eighth brother dredge it inside." ”

At this time, I heard someone in the crowd shouting: "The scoundrel Ah San has gone up!" ”

"Hurry up, go and explore again!" When Chen Bian heard this, he asked the family who reported the news to go back.

In the court, the county magistrate Yang Yong looked at Chen Asan who was standing on the wrong side, and couldn't help frowning, he had heard the rumors of this person, and knew that he was not a decent person, so he resisted, so he asked coldly: "You are Chen Asan?" Say, you know what. ”

"Respect the order of the county lord!" Chen Asan laughed, glanced at Chen Zhi, and smiled sadly, "This Chen Zhi is not a thing, he was extremely arrogant when he went to see your masters, and he threatened me, and he said something ugly, and then he wrote something and insulted your masters, oops, that scene ......"

Syllable!

Yang Yong was impatient when he heard this, slapped the shocked wood, and shouted: "I asked you to talk about the arson scene, who told you to say this?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Chen Asan was startled, pointed at Chen Zhi, and said viciously, "It's him, insulting all the masters, Master Bai persuaded him with good words, who knew that Chen Zhi not only didn't appreciate it, but he was going to leave directly, and we didn't think so much, who knew that this traitor turned his face and set fire to a building, but he ran away with the scholar, and he was crazy!" And ......"

He was still waiting to say more, but Yang County's order couldn't listen to it anymore, and waved his hand and said, "Okay, you step aside first." ”

Chen Asan learned to be obedient, and immediately retreated to the side honestly, and when he passed by Bai Qing's side, the two exchanged glances.

"Chen Zhi," Yang Yong called Chen Zhi's name, "Do you have anything to defend?" ”

He is indeed dissatisfied with Chen Zhi, Wang Mi's treachery may affect Yang Yong's promotion, and it is a matter of career, how can he give a good face? It happened that Chen Zhi was in the hall and under his own jurisdiction, and the dissatisfaction in his heart fermented, Yang Yong couldn't help but say more: "Don't think that there is a thin name, and there is the support of the family, there is no fear, this official is a county order, and naturally enforces the law impartially, whether it is the people of cloth clothes or the children of the family, they will be treated equally!"

As soon as he said this, Chen Yuan in the back hall immediately secretly said that it was not good.

"Listening to this, it is indeed a prejudice against Chen Zhi!"

As a member of the family, how could he not know the greasy inside, how could there be cases involving the family in the past that were not partial?

"Yang County's order is clearly to beat Chen Zhi, I am afraid that Bai Qing will beat the snake and smooth the stick, and seize the opportunity to make trouble!"

Chen Yuan's anxious appearance was seen by a person, who hesitated for a moment and still walked over.

"Furu, you're probably thinking, why is the county order biased against Chen Zhixin, right?" The person who came over was Liu Yang.

Now the atmosphere between the Chen and Liu families is delicate, but Liu Yang and Chen Yuan are colleagues, and they will immediately have a relationship between superiors and subordinates.

Seeing him speak, Chen Yuan's expression changed slightly.

"I've inquired in the past two days," Liu Yang took the initiative to speak as soon as he came over, "I heard that the county order has arranged connections at home, and he is going to move it upward, but it turned out that something happened to Xu Fang, and he had to turn to calm down the impact, which may affect his evaluation this year." ”

"I see!" Chen Yuan suddenly understood, and then became even more worried, "When it comes to official careers, it's not strange to be angry with Chen Zhi, but in this way, isn't it even more dangerous?" How can this situation be broken? Alas! ”

Sure enough, Bai Qing, Chen Asan and others were all happy when they heard Yang Yong's statement, although they didn't know why the county official said this, but they also knew that the opportunity was coming.

Bai Qing breathed a long sigh of relief, and his heart was reassured, of course he was worried about framing the children of the family this time, even if he felt that there was Xu Fang's matter as a hole card, it was still like walking a tightrope, and it was only at this time that he really had confidence.

"Even the county magistrate said so, see what you can do!" Chen Asan looked at Chen Zhi coldly, but saw that the latter's face was as usual, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Then, Chen Zhi had a solemn expression, saluted solemnly, and said: "Back to the county order, what Bai Qing and others said, everything is a false accusation, and I hope that the county order will be clear." ”

Every word is a false accusation!

After saying a word, there was a sudden silence in the court, and then Bai Qing was about to speak, but Chen Asan was faster than him, jumped up directly, pointed at Chen Zhi's nose, and was about to scold.

"Silence!" Yang Yong patted it to maintain discipline in the court, and then looked at Chen Zhi, "Chen Zhi, don't talk nonsense in the court, Bai Qing and others have already narrated the experience, you have different opinions, you can also say it again, this official will not listen to and believe partially, but how to convict in the end, how to convict, must be decided by this official!" The more he said this, the more serious he became, and he already had a bit of a reprimand.

Chen Zhi bowed his hand and replied: "The county order, it's not nonsense, it's actually Bai Qing and others who just told the case and presented the evidence of the crime." ”

"Oh?" Yang Yong was stunned for a moment, and reined in his tone, "Since this is the case, this official will give you time to defend yourself." ”

"The process I want to say is no different from these two people," Chen Zhi shook his head, just as Yang Yong frowned, and the people inside and outside the hall thought that this ridiculous person was playing with others, Chen Zhi continued, "Can I ask them a few questions." ”

Yang Yong narrowed his eyes, and finally nodded: "Yes, you can ask, and the official will also listen to what you want to say." ”

Chen Zhi thanked and turned to Bai Qing and Chen Asan, the latter two stared at him without fear, in their opinion, they had mastered the overall situation.

Bai Qing smiled slightly and said, "Chen Zhi, what else is there to ask?" We have made it very clear that young people need to know how to advance and retreat. ”

Chen Asan sneered: "I saw you so arrogant before, why don't you write now?" You're fucking arrogant again! Look at what you say, the poem you insulted your lords is still in the yamen, I see how you quibble! ”

"Shut up!" Yang Xianling couldn't listen to it anymore, and scolded, Chen Asan hurriedly shrunk his neck, but he didn't see the white man's expression change suddenly behind him.

When Bai Qing recounted the case before, he deliberately did not mention this character, and he also told him before going to court, because he was worried that he would be made public, and he didn't count Chen Asan as a pig teammate.

Chen Zhi was also stunned when he heard this.

That painting hasn't been burned yet? It's a real wonder.

Then, he looked at Chen Asan a little strangely and asked, "You said, I took the scholar over, arrogantly and arrogantly in Qingyuan Village, insulting everyone, yes or no?" ”

"Of course," Chen Asan glanced at Bai Qing and strengthened his courage, "This is what I have seen with my own eyes." ”

Chen Zhi smiled: "Then, I wrote an insulting poem in front of you, since this poem is still there, you might as well take it out and show it to you to see if it is an insult!" ”

"Take it, Master Bai, let's ......" Chen Asan turned his head, but saw that Bai Qing's face was very ugly, and then thought of the scene last night, and Bai Qing seemed to have told him before the opening of the hall, try not to mention that word, he was excited for a while, and he didn't control his mouth.

At this memory, he quickly shut his mouth.

That poem was directly slapped in the face of Bai Qing and the others, if it weren't for the way, they wouldn't have taken it to the court to discuss it at all, Chen Asan said this, did he want to help publicize it?

This is the public court, and the people are outside the door, once it is announced, what will be the end? Bai Qing didn't dare to think about it at all! Not only him, but the other stall owners also showed panic at this time.

However, Chen Asan shut up, and the others couldn't help muttering, is there really something greasy in it?

Especially the people outside the public court are even more interested.

"What kind of poem, take it out and take a look."

"Yes, didn't you talk about the incriminating evidence, let's also listen to what was written."

"Let's go over and see the case, the county commander is all over the search, and he should take a look at it today."

Insulting the poem of the gambling house owner, how could the people not be interested, this clamor was transmitted to the court, making Bai Qing's face a little pale, and Chen Asan shrunk his neck.

"Silence!"

Yang Yong maintained discipline again, looked at Bai Qing and Chen Asan's expressions, and was also a little suspicious, he hadn't read the poem yet, so he pondered for a moment and ordered: "Bring the poem and test it in the court." ”

As soon as he heard this, Bai Qing's body shook on the spot, and all the stall owners showed helpless and panicked expressions, and one of them even raised his head and fell down.
