Chapter 16 stopped the sedan chair and shouted injustice

Zhou Ning's words caused a slight discussion among the onlookers, and most of them said that the county magistrate was reasonable. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info is reasonable, of course, but what is behind the reason?

Zhou Ning's words were obviously beneficial to that man, but he didn't know why he was faintly panicking in his heart, and he always felt that something was wrong.

The old man didn't know why he was not so panicked in his heart, obviously not a word of what Zhou Ning said was beneficial to him, he just had a feeling of 'finding a backer'.

Zhou Ning turned around and asked the old man, "Old man, how many kinds of tea bowls did you bring?" ”

"There is only one kind, and there are many colors." The tea bowls sold by the old man are all exactly the same, but the patterns painted are different, and the size and weight are exactly the same.

"Hmm." Zhou Ning nodded lightly and instructed Lu Qing: "Bring the rod scale." ”

"Scales?" Lu Qing was slightly stunned, and then responded obediently: "Yes." Then he ran away, and in a moment he came with a scale.

Zhou Ning asked the official to weigh the tea bowl in his hand, and the official reported: "One, two, three dollars." ”

Zhou Ning asked the servant to weigh all the fragments on the ground, and the servant picked up the larger fragments on the ground and put them on the weighing pan, and after weighing the large fragments, he put the small fragments into the weighing pan and continued to weigh them.

Plate after plate was weighed, and it took a total of seven times to weigh all the debris and debris. Some people weighed the scales, some people counted, and after weighing, they reported the number: "Two catties, seven taels and four dollars." ”

Zhou Ning looked at the man with a smile, only to see that he was stunned, and his stunned saliva was about to come down. Zhou Ning said softly: "Two catties and seven taels is thirty-nine taels, right?" A tea bowl is one tael or three dollars, and thirty-nine taels is thirty tea bowls, right? ”

Zhou Ning shook the tea bowl in his hand: "Oh, there is one more, together it is a total of thirty-one tea bowls, right?" ”

The beads of sweat on the man's head were like soybean grains, and there was really nothing to say here.

"By the way, there are four more coins, it should be dusty when weighing the pieces, if you have any doubts, you can let them wipe the pieces clean and weigh them again."

What's the point of weighing it again? Weighing it ten more times is also the result, the man's face is flushed, his fists are clenched tightly, and his chest rises and falls violently.

Zhou Ning saw that he didn't speak, so he opened his mouth and reminded: "A tea bowl is thirty Wen, and thirty-one tea bowls are just nine hundred and thirty Wen." ”

"That, that" The man really couldn't find a reason not to compensate others, he grabbed the placket of his robe and trembled to show Zhou Ning: "Then he also scratched my clothes." ”

It's good to be able to come back, the man knows that it is not okay not to pay, and he is content to lose less.

"How did he scratch your clothes?" Zhou Ning didn't notice that his robe was torn, no matter what, he brought it up, and he always had to ask.

"It was his desk that scratched my robe." The man pointed to the wooden planks on the ground that people were turning over on their backs, which was always a fact, and no one could deny it.

Zhou Ning glanced at the wooden plank on the ground and asked, "The table ran over and scraped yours?" ”

Tables have legs, but I've never heard of them running. Even a fool knows that the garment was not deliberately damaged by the old man, but by himself by hitting the table.

If you are held responsible, it will be the man's own mistake no matter how you say it. He pursed his lips, trying to say something, but he didn't say it.

He angrily took out a hanging copper coin from his bosom, counted seventy wen, and then slammed the rest of the money to the old man's feet, turned around and strode away.

The old man picked up the copper coin, didn't bother to count it, and stuffed it into the money bag one by one, excited tears rolled in his eyes, and he couldn't stop thanking Zhou Ning.

The onlookers also gave a thumbs up, praising the wisdom and cleverness of the new county magistrate.

Zhang Zhixian smiled and nodded, and while Zhou Ning didn't notice him, he turned around and walked out of the crowd, and the master followed closely behind, without saying hello to Zhou Ning, so they separated without meeting.

"Clean up this place." Zhou Ning instructed the officials to help throw away the debris and other debris, and cleaned up the street before ordering: "Go back to the government." ”

Lu Qing opened the sedan curtain, and Zhou Ning bent down and was just about to get into the sedan chair, when suddenly a sharp cry came: "Wronged!" ”

Zhou Ning's body stiffened, and he hurriedly turned around again, only to see a woman in a blue coarse cloth running madly in the direction of the sedan chair.

The people who hadn't gone far also stopped when they heard this shout, and walked back directly with some curiosity.

"Wronged!" The middle-aged woman ran to a distance of six feet in front of the sedan chair, still without stopping, and shouted as she ran forward: "My lord, the people are wronged, I ask the adults to be the masters of the people's women." ”

"If you have a grievance, you go to the yamen to complain, and every third, sixth, and ninth is the day of the announcement." The two servants stood in front of the woman and stretched out their hands to stop her, and they saw many complainants, and there were not a few who stopped the sedan chair and cried out for injustice.

If there is a big wrong, you can't run into the adult's sedan chair, and the woman rushed forward as if she was crazy, pushing and shoving the servants, and shouting at Zhou Ning: "My lord, let the people be the master......

"Do you have a paper?" Zhou Ning raised his hand to signal the officials to let go of her, and the two officials let go of their hands and each took a step to the side.

The woman knelt on the ground with her skirt raised: "My lord, the women are illiterate and have no papers. She raised her head and looked at Zhou Ning with a frightened expression.

She also doesn't know etiquette, and she doesn't know that the people can't look down on officials. She was just worried that she wouldn't be able to sue without a pleading, for fear that the county magistrate would drive her away, and she really didn't know who to find to write the pleading.

Zhou Ning didn't care about her direct gaze, he was still quite confident in his appearance, and he was not afraid to look at it. She didn't have a paper, and the street wasn't a place to ask questions.

"Take it back to the government." Zhou Ning bent over and sat in the sedan chair.

Lu Qing put down the sedan curtain and shouted loudly: "Get up the sedan car." ”

"Your Excellency!" The woman didn't hear what Zhou Ning said, she was so anxious to go forward to grab the sedan chair, but was pulled by the servant.

"My lord asked you to follow, and I will talk about it when there is anything to do with the government." The servant pointed back and asked her to follow the sedan driver.

Only then did the woman understand that she was asking her to go to the government office, and hurriedly thanked the government officials. How can the servants have time to take care of her? Push her away, and open the way in front with his head held high.

Lin Zhutou came over and took her to the sedan chair, and the woman on the way raised her hand from time to time to wipe her tears. Lin Zhutou asked her as he walked, "Where are you from?" Who are you going to sue? ”

"My family lives in Shixi Village, my sister-in-law," the woman said, choking in her throat and taking a moment to spit out the second half of her sentence.
