Chapter 169: How can you sit on top of the lobby if you make a hasty judgment?

"Ascension!"

A pressed figure appeared at the door of the county hall, and his eyes kept looking at the county official sitting high above the hall.

On both sides of the county hall stood fifteen or sixteen officials, who were very powerful and pounding on the floor with water and fire sticks, and the rumbling sound hit the bottom of everyone's hearts.

Water and fire sticks are specially configured by the officials of the county government to strengthen their authority and enforce the law.

At this moment, the county hall looks very solemn and majestic. Xu Muchuan, Fu Hengsheng, and Monk Wuming hid in the crowd, silently watching what was about to happen above the lobby.

"Smack!"

The county magistrate sat in the lobby with a majestic face, and slapped it fiercely with a shocking wood in his hand. The officials stopped tapping on the floor, and the entire lobby immediately fell silent.

"Who's in the hall?" The county magistrate stared at the old man and the middle-aged man kneeling in the lobby with a majestic expression, and asked loudly.

The little girl knelt on top of the lobby with the old man, and she was startled by the county magistrate's slap with a startled wooden shot, and grabbed the old man's arm.

"Big man, little old man is the Niu River of Niujia Village." The old man replied immediately.

A sneer crossed the corner of the middle-aged man's mouth, and after glancing at the old man, he kowtowed to the county official and shouted, crying and shouting: "Lord Qingtian, the villain is Wang Youcai in the west of the town." Today, when the villain was walking on the street, he was unexpectedly bumped by this old man, and the villain didn't say anything. However, when the villain was about to leave, he found that the old man had stolen ten copper coins from the villain. But this old man refuses to admit it, so he can only come and ask the Qingtian Lord to deal with it impartially! ”

"You're talking nonsense, this money is obviously mine. This is the money that Xiao Lao'er paid to buy two new clothes for his granddaughter, obviously after you bumped into Xiao Lao'er, you saw the money in Xiao Lao'er's arms fall to the ground, and you had this thought. ”

The old man's skinny body was trembling slightly: "Please also ask Lord Qingtian to be the master of the little old man!" ”

"Silence!" The county magistrate slapped the shocked wood fiercely and shouted loudly.

The strong man, who wanted to refute, immediately held back the words that came to his mouth, and the old man stared at the county magistrate with a pair of deep-set eyes.

"Present the ten copper coins, and the official will take a closer look." The county magistrate said majestically and loudly.

Immediately, a man came out of the crowd and presented the ten copper coins.

The county magistrate glanced at the copper coin placed in front of him, and his expression remained unchanged.

Xu Muchuan squinted his eyes at the copper coin placed on the table, watched the copper coin scurry up with a thick rope, and muttered to himself: "It seems to be a little dirty......"

Just as the county official was about to speak, a servant standing next to him walked into the county official's ear and whispered: "Master, Wang Youcai is a distant relative of Master Qian. ”

The county official's eyelids lifted slightly, and then waved his hand at the officer, signaling that the officer could step down.

The official walked back to the side with a smile, and glanced at Wang Youcai, who was kneeling in the hall, and glanced at Wang Youcai. Wang Youcai showed an imperceptible smile.

"Tangxia Niu He, you said that this copper coin is yours, but what evidence is there?" The county magistrate patted the stunned wood lightly, stared at the old man Niu He, and asked.

"This ...... This money is Xiao Lao'er's, do you need any evidence? This is the little old man who has worked hard to save money for more than a month, just to buy two new clothes for his granddaughter today. The old man was stunned and immediately responded.

The county magistrate snorted coldly and reprimanded: "Hmph! You don't even have proof, how can you prove that the money is yours? How can you make the ruler believe you? Is it possible that the official will make up his mind after listening to your words? ”

"This ...... Lord Qingtian, this money is all from the little old man who gets up early every day and is greedy for darkness, and goes to the mountains to collect medicine and go to the town to change it! Please also ask the eldest master to be the master of the little old man! The old man shouted to the county magistrate with tears on his face.

The little girl kneeling next to the old man looked at the county magistrate and then at the old man. Then, she followed the old man to make the same movement, and kept kowtowing to the county official. On the little girl's pink cheeks, there were still tears from crying just now.

Xu Muchuan stood in the crowd, watching the scene that had just happened. In the depths of his eyes, a hint of anger and sadness flashed.

"I don't even have proof, so I guess these ten copper coins are definitely not yours. I thought that you stole the money of Wang Youcai and were discovered, but you kept quibbling, which made the matter to the county office. The county magistrate made a fair and solemn appearance, like the people said that the blue sky lord.

"For the sake of your advanced age, the judge will not pursue your theft. Get out of here! Don't do it. If there is a next time, this official will definitely put you in prison and reflect on it. ”

"The official announced that these ten copper coins belonged to the king's talents. The theft of Niu River under the hall failed, and the official saw that he was old, so he did not punish him with a rod. Before the old man could justify, the county magistrate slapped the shocked wood heavily, looked at the hundreds of people outside the lobby door, and said loudly: "Retreat!" ”

The old man was stunned for a while, and it took a long time to react. Then he kowtowed with a mournful old face and shouted: "Master, you can't judge like this!" This money belongs to the little old man! This money is really a little old man's! ”

Smack!

The deafening sound suddenly sounded, and the old man Niu He and the little girl were startled, trembling and kneeling in the lobby.

"Humph! Licentious! The magistrate will exempt you from the punishment of the rod only when you are old, and if you do not know how to roar in court, the magistrate will immediately arrest you and put you in prison. The county magistrate glared at the old man and yelled at him.

The old man's shriveled palm hugged the little girl tightly, and two lines of thick tears slipped down from his sunken eyes.

When the county magistrate saw that the old man was not yelling, he withdrew his anger and put down the shocking wood in his hand. The strong man Wang Youcai also slowly stood up from the floor, and said to the county magistrate with a smile: "The villain, thank you for being the master of the blue sky." ”

"Grandpa doesn't cry, grandpa doesn't cry, Xiaowen doesn't eat sugar gourds." The little girl didn't know what happened just now, and she naively thought that if she didn't eat sugar gourd, she would stop crying grandpa.

The little girl stretched out a pair of pink and dirty little hands, and kept wiping the corners of the old man's eyes: "Grandpa doesn't cry, Xiaowen doesn't want new clothes, okay?" ”

"Woo woo woo ......" The old man, who had been suppressed, looked at such a well-behaved granddaughter, and finally couldn't stop opening his mouth and crying: "Xiaowen is so good, grandpa will buy new clothes for Xiaowen in two months, and let Xiaowen eat sugar gourds." ”

"Okay, hee-hee-hee...... Grandpa, don't lie to Xiaowen! We're done. The little girl grinned, and the sound of milk pierced people's hearts.

The people watching the excitement outside the lobby all lowered their eyelids in silence when they saw this.

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?" ”
