Just as the county magistrate walked towards the inside of the lobby, a loud voice pierced the sky and pierced the abnormal silence: "Such a verdict, so ruthless, how can a county official like you sit on top of this lobby?" ”

At this moment, the lobby of the entire county government fell silent instantly. The old man, who was still crying, also subconsciously stopped his voice and turned his head to look at the crowd standing at the entrance of the lobby.

The county official's left foot stopped in the air for a moment when Xu Muchuan's words fell, and then quickly retracted his left foot, condensed his gaze into the crowd, and glared: "Which common man said what he said just now?" Stand up for the officer. ”

With the angry shouts of the county official, the people standing next to Xu Muchuan took a few steps back in horror and fear, and all the people stared at Xu Muchuan and the three of them with stunned expressions, looking frightened and confused.

When the people got out of the way of a spacious and bright road, the county officials could clearly see the three people led by Xu Muchuan.

Xu Muchuan stared at the county official without fear, his eyes were full of anger and sadness.

"It's ordinary people like you who dare to question and slander this official! It's just presumptuous! Do you know what it is to insult the officials of the court? The county magistrate slapped the table hard and yelled.

Xu Muchuan walked slowly towards the top of the lobby without a word, ignoring the angry reprimand of the county official. Xu Muchuan walked straight to the old man's side, helped him up, and said gently: "Old man, such a mediocre official who doesn't think about the people doesn't need to bow down to him. ”

Fu Hengsheng and Monk Wuming followed closely behind Xu Muchuan, silently watching the scene in front of them.

There were still two lines of tears left on the old man's shriveled and wrinkled cheeks, and he looked at Xu Muchuan and opened his mouth in confusion, not knowing how to speak.

The little girl hid behind the old man, revealing a white and tender face with some mud and dust, staring at Xu Muchuan with a pair of bright eyes, as if she was curious about who Xu Muchuan suddenly broke in.

"Bold! How dare you be so disrespectful to adults, according to the law, you should be punished with a rod for twenty! Before the county official could get angry, a servant standing above the hall pointed at Xu Muchuan and scolded angrily.

At this time, Fu Hengsheng couldn't help it, after all, he was the guard of Xu Muchuan, the minister of the Imperial Mission, where could he allow others to threaten Xu Muchuan so much: "I think you are the real presumptuous!" ”

The county officials, the officials and the people thought that Xu Muchuan and the others would be afraid to beg for mercy, but they never thought that Fu Hengsheng, who was standing behind Xu Muchuan, would be afraid to reprimand the court.

The county official's eyelids jumped suddenly, and he muttered with some concern in his heart: "Could it be that these people are not small?" But it doesn't make sense! It stands to reason that in a remote place like Compal Town, it is impossible for a big man to come! ”

"Who are you?" For the sake of protection, the county official forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and pointed at Xu Muchuan with a dark face and asked.

The county officials can call for wind and rain in Renbao Town, and they are naturally thoughtful.

If the county official's question can show that Xu Muchuan's origin is extraordinary, then he will naturally swallow what he just said into his stomach; If Xu Muchuan's identity is just a civilian, then I am afraid that there are many ways to punish Xu Muchuan and others for their disrespectful words.

After Xu Muchuan helped the old man up, the gentleness of his eyes changed instantly, and he glared at the county official and muttered for a moment: "Dare to ask the county official, where did you determine that the copper coins on this table belong to the strong man Wang Youcai?" Dare to ask the county magistrate, you are sitting high in the lobby, who gave you the power to let you judge the case arbitrarily? Dare to ask the county magistrate, as a parent official in Shili and Eight Villages, do you usually handle cases so hastily? Dare to ask the county magistrate, are you worthy of wearing a black gauze hat and wearing your parents' official robes? ”

After suppressing his anger for a long time, Xu Muchuan instantly exploded at this moment. The four questions he asked one after another directly hit the hearts of the people and the hearts of the county officials.

The county official's eyes tightened sharply, and he looked at Xu Muchuan with a dark face. However, when the county magistrate saw Xu Muchuan so straightforward, he must have a certain amount of confidence when he thought that Xu Muchuan would come.

Therefore, the county official endured the eruption of anger and gritted his teeth in response: "This official has read poetry and books since he was a child, participated in the literary examination, and was nominated by the emperor for the post of county official in Renbao Town. The judge judged the case impartially and impartially, without any perfunctory, why did you slander the official so much? If you don't tell me today, the judge will deal with it according to the law, and you will be put in prison. ”

"Hiss-" Seeing that the county official was furious, the surrounding people all took a breath of cold air, and there was a hint of sympathy in their eyes when they looked at Xu Muchuan.

"It's ridiculous! The fact that a mediocre official like you dare to say that you are fair and selfless is really a great insight for me. Xu Muchuan put his hands behind his back, looked directly at the county official, and a thick anger and majesty quietly came out of Xu Muchuan's body.

"You...... Who are you? Dare to slander the court officials like this. The county official's anger was aroused by Xu Muchuan's reprimand, and he couldn't help but slap the shocked wood.

The old man hugged the little girl tightly, looked at Xu Muchuan and the county official in shock, and forgot his pain for a while.

The hundreds of people gathered at the door of the lobby kept swallowing their saliva, staring at Xu Muchuan with eyes as big as lanterns, and they all guessed in their hearts: "This ...... Who is this man? How dare you talk to the eldest master like this, aren't you afraid of being arrested? ”

After Xu Muchuan stared at the county official, he didn't intend to answer his question at all. Instead, he glanced at Wang Youcai, a strong man standing on the side: "Wang Youcai, I want to ask you, you said that these ten copper coins are yours, but what evidence is there?" ”

The moment Wang Youcai was shouted by Xu Muchuan's name, his whole body trembled subconsciously, and he said hesitantly: "This money is something I have saved with hard work, and I have always carried it with me." ”

"Then I'm asking you, you said that this money has been on you, so how long have you been saving? Do you put this money on the left or right side of your arms? Xu Muchuan then asked.

Originally, Wang Youcai didn't want to pay attention to Xu Muchuan, but when he saw Xu Muchuan's bloodshot angry pupils, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and subconsciously paused and said: "These ten copper coins are the money I have saved for two months, and I have always kept them on the left side of my chest." ”

"It's ridiculous, just by what you said, I can tell that everything you just said is nonsense." Xu Muchuan looked at the strong man Wang Youcai and sneered.

"You're talking nonsense, and everything I'm saying is true." Wang Youcai looked at the county official a little breathlessly, and immediately bent down and cried and said, "Lord Qingtian, what the villain said is true!" Please also ask the lord to be the villain's master! ”

"Shut up the official!"

Finally, the county magistrate couldn't bear to shout at the top of his throat.

Originally, the county magistrate wanted to find out Xu Muchuan's origin, and he was making plans. But Xu Muchuan's contempt and disregard for him made the county official's anger finally break through the defense line in his heart.
