Chapter 51 Dog Trials in the Temple

The Chenghuang Temple is within the jurisdiction of Shixi Village, and there is no need to cross the mountain or cross the river, and it is five or six miles away from the villagers' residences. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The temple is very large, not that the temple is very big, but the square in front of the temple is very large, which can accommodate many people, and it is a good place for public gatherings.

Zhou Ning's sedan chair was parked in front of the City God Temple, Zhou Ning got off the sedan chair and walked into the temple gate without squinting, and after entering the house, he hurriedly picked up a bowl of rice.

Lu Qingbai prepared a table of banquets, and Zhou Ning soaked a bowl of rice in some vegetable soup, and poured it into his stomach at a fast speed. Lu Qing felt a little unbearable when he looked at it, is this still his Zhou Gongzi? That's how refugees eat it, right?

Zhou Ning immediately changed into an official uniform after eating, and then officially started the trial. There were a lot of people gathered in the square in front of the temple to see the excitement, and when they saw the temple door open, they were immediately enthusiastic.

The temple has already been arranged, and it is basically the same as the public hall. Zhou Ninggao sat behind the table, and the three classes of officials stood majestically.

According to common sense, the plaintiff should be summoned to court to explain the reasons for the beginning of the complaint, and then the defendant or witness should be summoned to court to begin a series of processes such as confrontation.

After the officials drank the hall number, everyone looked in with wide eyes, wanting to see who was the plaintiff, what the lawsuit was, and how they could go to the temple to start the trial.

The onlookers were not all from Shixi Village, and many did not know what was going on. The people of Shixi Village whispered to the strangers around them like a message disseminator.

"Chuan Shi West Village to protect Zhang Yuhai Hall." Zhou Ning's first sentence did not pass on Zhang Liu's court, but passed on the land protection.

Zhang Baozheng was maintaining order outside, not letting the people of Shixi Village make a lot of noise, so as not to obstruct the trial of the case by adults, and he would be scolded at least and beaten at worst.

Hearing the shouting call, he quietly turned his head to look at Zhang Liu's family, everyone thought that it was Zhang Liu's turn to go to the court, but he didn't expect to protect Zhang Yuhai's hall first.

He hurriedly walked into the temple under the guidance of the officials, and knelt up in a proper manner: "Shixi Village Protector Zhang Yuhai kowtows to the lord." ”

"Have all the men from Shixi Village arrived?"

"It's all there." Zhang Baozheng took the list and ordered it outside two or three times, and there was no shortage of anyone, and all the staff were present.

"Lin Zhutou, take Ah Huang to the corner gate and wait." Zhou Ning asked Lin Zhutou to lead the big yellow dog of the Zhang family to the corner gate of the City God Temple and wait.

"Yes." Lin Zhutou agreed and hurried down, took the rope of the dog from Zhang Liu's hand, and dragged the big yellow dog to the corner gate.

There were two officials waiting in front of the corner gate, and when they saw Lin Zhutou leading the dog, they hurriedly greeted him. "Lin Zhutou, you can come here."

Lin Zhutou was a little puzzled, and couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in this adult's gourd. A servant took the rope from Lin Zhutou's hand and quickly tied the dog to the corner door.

Another servant took the dog food bowl and put it in front of Ah Huang, and there was a lure in the basin. Human flesh and bones. Ah Huang tried hard to move forward but couldn't eat just right, so he was so anxious that he wagged his tail and hummed.

"Take the roster and let the men of Shixi Village enter the side hall through the corner gate." Zhou Ning didn't ask anything, and gave an order directly.

Zhang Baozheng was a little confused, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he could only do it. He answered and went down to organize the men of Shixi Village to stand in a row.

Zhou Ning also got up and left the table, and took Lu Qing to sit in front of the corner door. Zhou Ning carefully watched Ah Huang's reaction when everyone passed through the corner gate.

The dog food bowl was a little far away from Ah Huang, and Ah Huang couldn't eat it in a hurry. At this time, when someone passed by, it became extremely nervous, and immediately became vigilant, for fear that the bones would be robbed.

The big yellow dog reacted like this, and Zhou Ning waved his hand to signal the official to take this person to the left side of the side hall. On the contrary, when some people passed by, the rhubarb was very calm, and the dog's eyes were too lazy to open them, so Zhou Ning motioned to the official to take him to the right side of the side hall.

When Sun Dazhuang helped Sun Youde pass by in front of the dog food bowl, Ah Huang suddenly screamed, which frightened Sun Youde's hand and almost threw away his crutches.

When Liu Erzhu helped Liu Dazhu pass by in front of the dog food bowl, Ah Huang became very excited, and he pounced forward. The elder stuck his head out and nodded at them with a snort.

The dog's eyes were full of hope, and how he longed for someone to help him, and if someone gave him a kick in the bowl, he would be able to eat the flesh and bones.

Liu Erzhu glanced at Ah Huang, he knew Ah Huang's thoughts, but he didn't have the courage to help Ah Huang, so he could only pout and help Liu Dazhu walk in slowly.

Liu Dazhu has always been staring, let alone looking at Ah Huang, his head has never even been raised. After they walked in, Ah Huang lay down on the ground disappointed.

Zhang Bao was the last to enter the side hall, and when he entered, he found that the people were divided into two groups, left and right. At the behest of the officer, he stood on the left.

From teenage children to septuagenarians, all men in Shixi Village were taken to the side hall. Zhou Ning took Lu Qing and walked in, and the official then closed the corner door.

"Everybody stands facing the wall." Zhou Ning gave an order, and the officials immediately urged everyone to stand up.

No one knew what was going to happen next, and the atmosphere was tense all the time, with people on both sides of the side standing looking at the wall.

They all wondered why the dogs were locked up outside the door to watch the excitement when they said they were going to be tried in the City God's Temple, but they were locked up inside for trial?

It is also inappropriate to say that he was on trial, because Zhou Ning did not try anyone. After seeing that everyone was standing, Zhou Ning looked around.

Then he ordered seven people and asked the officials to open the corner door directly and let them go.

Five of them are minors, and they are all under 1.4 meters tall. Two were elderly men in their seventies, and the wind was strong enough to blow them up.

After these people walked out, Zhou Ning directly ordered: "Take off your shirt." ”

It's all big men and there's nothing to be ashamed of, and besides, it's up to you to choose. If you have to choose, there are only two options: take it off yourself or be stripped naked.

Most people took off their clothes happily, and some people didn't take off thoroughly enough and left their close-fitting middle clothes, Zhou Ning added: "All stripped naked." ”

Almost all of them are stripped naked. Topless, only a few people are still grinding.

The groom official who had just married the old Niu family refused to take off his middle coat for a long time, and Wu Xiaoliu of the old Wu family didn't want to take it off.

Except for the two of them, only Liu Dazhu, who has a leg injury, has not taken off his shirt. Liu Erzhu put the top he took off between his legs, and reached out to help Liu Dazhu undress.

"What's going on with you guys?" Lu Qing roared impatiently.
