People brought it up, one was Wu Xiucai, who walked in front with his head held high. When he approached, Chen Huangfang was taken aback, it turned out that the defendant who followed him was actually an old man with yellow bitter gourd who drove a donkey to deliver tea on the river worker, he was the most loyal, and he would not quarrel with others when he suffered a loss, how could he offend this richly dressed talent? Chen Huangzheng was surprised and worried, the two had already reported their names, and the boy was called Ye Zhenqiu. The "case" is very simple, the old yellow head got up early in the morning to pick up dung in the east wall, and when he came out, he didn't bump into Ye Zhenqiu, who was entering the thatched house, and stained his clothes.

"I have seen your situation with my own eyes," Yu Chenglong said above, "This matter is very clear, and the fault lies in the yellow bitter gourd." ”

The yellow bitter gourd trembled with fright, kowtowed and stammered: "The little old man's eyes are dizzy, it really didn't mean to, beg the old man to ......" He glanced at the majestic Yu Chenglong, and didn't dare to say the words under his head.

"This official also pities you." Yu Jackie Chan said, "Originally, things were commonplace, so it's okay not to tell them." But Ye can't tolerate you, and I'm helpless - are you willing to fight or be punished? ”

"Hit ...... How? Penalties – how? ”

"Hit, twenty small boards," Yu Jackie Chan said, "Punishment - kowtow a hundred heads to make amends, you choose." Ye Zhenqiu, are you willing? ”

Ye Zhenqiu plucked his nostrils and said, "Since Lord Daotai is broken, he will be cheaper this time!" ”

"Yellow bitter gourd," Yu Chenglong dragged his long voice and said coldly, "Have you thought about it?" The cucumber swallowed a mouthful of saliva aggrievedly and said, "Villain...... Admit punishment. The villain is old, and he has to support his family, so he can't be beaten......" Yu Chengchan then ordered: "Come on, move a chair, and invite Ye Xiucai to sit and receive the gift!" ”

Seeing Ye Zhenqiu sitting with a grin, and Huang Laohan kneeling tremblingly and kowtowing one by one, Chen Huang suddenly felt sad in his heart, and suddenly remembered the scene of this old man staggering to deliver water at the construction site every day. Every time I saw Chen Huang, I held a big bowl with a rough bark-like hand and invited him to drink, and now he is humiliated in public, and he is a guest, but he doesn't even dare to say a word of love! Chen Huang couldn't help but turn his face.

When he reached the seventieth head, Yu Chenglong suddenly gasped and said, "Hey, wait, I forgot to ask less, is Ye Zhenqiu a scholar or a martial artist?" ”

"Back to adults," Ye Zhenqiu hurriedly got up and replied, "The student is Wu Xiucai." ”

"Ah, I miscalculated!" Yu Chengchan was shocked and said, "Wen Xiucai should knock a hundred, Wu Xiucai should knock fifty to count, cucumber gourd, you get up, you have already knocked the count!" ”

Ye Zhenqiu felt very disappointed, lazily swiped upward, and said reluctantly: "The student has resigned." ”

"Farewell?" Yu Jackie Chan's voice became dull and heavy. "Can't just go like this?" Ye Zhenqiu looked at Yu Chenglong, who was sitting firmly according to the case, and asked, "What else do you want to observe the master?" "Nothing to order." Yu Chenglong's face sank, and his voice was dry, "Debt repayment, debt repayment, you owe this cucumber twenty rings, how to cook?" ”

As soon as Jackie Chan said this, the officials in the hall looked at each other. Chen Huang also widened his eyes: Is there a "how to cook" this kind of thing? Ye Xiucai was stunned for a moment, but Fang Ling woke up in the middle of the day, his face turned red, the green tendons on his neck jumped violently, and he puffed his chest and asked, "According to the master's meaning, do you want me to kowtow to this stinky dung picker?" ”

"That's right." Yu Chengchan remained silent, "You kowtow to him for twenty heads, and each of them is done." I still have guests waiting to do something! ”

"Grandma's bear!" This show is martial arts, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he moved, "You are probably sick with phlegm, right?" I didn't inquire about what Ye's roots were! My brother-in-law is Katsushidai-" "Presumptuous! Yu Chenglong was furious, "snapped" the case, grabbed the fire pick and threw it away, "Ben Dao first dismissed your Xiucai, and then treated you for the crime of roaring in court and insulting the chief, you must pay back twenty heads!" Ye Zhenqiu pouted and smiled, looked at the skinny Yu Chenglong with a raised face, and roared: "You dare!" ”

"Humph!" Yu Chenglong laughed fiercely, "Don't say that you are Ge Li's distant brother-in-law, you are the prince, and the lord dares to follow the law - twenty palms!" ”

"Wow!" The officials have learned Ye Zhenqiu's domineering about weekdays, and now that the official is in charge, he is already eager to try, and he pounced like a vicious tiger. Ye Xiucai was caught off guard, he was already tied up and kneeling on the ground, and he was afraid that he would have martial arts, so he didn't drag him out, took off his tasseled hat on the spot, and slapped him twenty times without a head or face. Ye Xiucai's face suddenly swelled like a purple eggplant, and blood flowed down the corners of his mouth. After the beating, the officials carried him and kowtowed to the cucumber twenty times before the case was closed.

Chen Huang watched from the side for less than an hour, only to feel in a trance, dizzy, and in a daze, Yu Jackie Chan had retreated silently and walked in, as if he had just come back from a walk. Seeing the book in front of Chen Huang, he nodded and smiled: "Mr. Chen can't say that he can't let go of the scroll - Yu is on official business, and it is rude to let the guests sit dry!" Chen Huang hurriedly got up and replied, "Where! It's admirable to watch adults adjudicate cases so brightly! Chen Huangwen is a weak scholar, and it is thrilling to hear here! ”

A subtle smile flashed on Jackie Chan's clear face - a talented man has a good name, and it seems that he is not disgusted with this kind of sincere support. Chen Huang saw that his color was gentle, so he took the opportunity to talk: "Lord Yu, the second case student has been taught." Only the first case felt that it was strange, and I felt that the punishment seemed to be a little ruthless. "Ruthless?" Yu Chenglong said with a smile, "He won't die for three days, and I will be in the yoke for another three days, how can such a slave who bullies the master let him go back to waste?" ”

"Ahh

"The details of this case are difficult to say." Yu Chenglong sighed, "This slave has been having an affair with his master mother for three years, and he only thinks that Liu Yinqing is an eyesore - if it weren't for the fact that Yinqing's child is a filial son, I would have turned it all over and told them to die on the streets of Qingjiang together!" Chen Huang also sighed: "Looking at these two cases, you know that it is not easy for local officials to do, and it is especially difficult for Qing officials to do it!" ”

Listening to Chen Huang's thoughtful words, Yu Chenglong couldn't help but be moved, asked someone to bring a glass of water to drink, and said: "What kind of difficulty is this, as long as the bones are hard, not towards the rich and the official." Last year I was in Ningbo Mansion, once alone into the bandits, to appease Tang Xingyi and a cadre, one of the bandits leader refused to be cared for, because he saw that everyone was gone, he left alone, and when he left, he also said a couplet, saying, 'The road is not good, take the chariot to float in the sea; The trouble of people is tied to the crown and stands in the court. 'What do I mean with him, and guess what he says?' He looked at Chen Huang and said, "He said, 'The first sentence is the words of a saint, so there is no need to say it; The second sentence of stealing is also the truth - logs are people. When you wear an official hat, you become a beast. This is a phrase that has been ringing in my ears for more than a year! ”

"And then?"

"This is not a reckless thief, and then I was caught and beheaded." Yu Chengchan's tone was very heavy, and he could see that he was very uneasy, "Although I killed him, I kept thinking in my heart: If we are officials, if we can't be cautious and self-conscious, wouldn't it really make him right?" As he spoke, his eyes swept towards Chen Huang like a knife.

"Adults don't have to be suspicious, Chen Huang never enters the public door to tell lawsuits for others, and hits the wooden clock!" Chen Huang smiled heartily, "Getting back to business,—— in fact, we were already talking about this matter just now - that's the case, yesterday I went back to the office, and we discussed it a few times, Qingjiang was flooded last year, and this year's spring famine is like this, no wonder adults are in a hurry." Jin Shuai came with me to discuss the matter of giving people to the adults. ”

Yu Chengchan is worried about this all day long, and said with a wry smile: "How easy it is!" The big gentry here, I have already summoned them to say, no hoarding, the price of rice is flat, but the people have to have money in their hands to make it! ”

"That's why Master Jin was born late!"

"You mean—" Jackie Chan's eyes sparkled.

"This year, the river silver has come in handy," Chen Huang said, "but last year the ICBC still had 50,000 yuan, and it was originally planned to repair the Qingshuitan embankment next year for compensation and subsidy, but now it is in the treasury." If the adults are in a hurry, they can be temporarily moved over to save the famine - in the future, they can also pay back the silver, and they can also exchange work for silver, and plant grass on the embankment of the Qingjiang Estuary, which is considered to be a river work, how about it? ”

Without waiting for Chen Huang to finish speaking, Yu Chenglong got up, rubbed his hands and said, "Okay, good!" There are 50,000 silver, which can help 100,000 people to live in the spring famine, why should I worry? Why should I worry? Seeing him so emotional, Chen Huang's heart was hot, and he was about to speak, but Yu Chenglong turned around and asked, "How much profit does this silver cost?" Chen Huang was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "What kind of interest do you need - are they all errands for the emperor, why should adults be suspicious?" We are all readers, and we still understand the principles of righteousness and benefit! Jackie Chan was so happy that he couldn't sit still. Thinking about how he couldn't get along with Jin Fu on the embankment yesterday, Yu Chenglong felt embarrassed, so he smiled and said: "Mr. Chen, don't blame me for being rude yesterday, I'm in a hurry!" Since the beginning of spring in Qingjiang Daoli, one hundred and eight people have starved to death, and the sky and the earth are all in danger, and the number is terrifying! I even soothed with a pressure belt, and nothing happened. But people's stomachs are not filled with empty words, can they be anxious for the parents of the people? - In this way, we will take care of the grass planting, and even the trees will be planted by us! ”

"Lord Yu, you can't plant big trees on the embankment!" Chen Xiao said, "Although the roots of the tree have the effect of fixing the embankment, when the autumn flood comes, there is a lot of wind and rain, the embankment soil is soft, and when the trunk is shaken, the embankment is easy to crack and burst...... Please take a closer look! ”

Yu Jackie Chan was still smiling at first, but so far it has been over. When it comes to river governance, it is still a matter of different ways and no conspiracy.
