Chapter 607: The Crazy County Order (Part II)

"He's completely insane!" After hearing such an order from the county order, everyone in the hall looked at him with the same eyes as a madman, and they all looked stunned. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

What is the identity of the Xu family, that is, high-ranking officials at the prefect or even the governor level, if they want to ask them about things, they have to obediently come to the door to ask for a meeting, and they have to decide whether to see them or not depending on their mood. You are a small seven-grade county order, and you actually opened your mouth to let the people of the Xu family come to the county government to be tried, and you are not afraid of the wind flashing your tongue?

Seeing that everyone was like this, the county commander's brows couldn't help frowning, and he glanced at Liu Cai, who was still sitting in his position, very unhappily: "Liu Dianshi, still don't accept the order?" ”

Liu Cai, who was named, came back to his senses from disdain and snickering, and his heart was tight, and he couldn't help but scold his mother. Although the idea of the county order is very self-righteous, he asked himself to go to the heirs to be tried, and he can't run away from this offense to the Xu family.

"What am I doing today?" Faced with such a problem, Liu Cai was naturally very annoyed, but in the public court, how could he, as a subordinate, disobey the order, so he could only hesitate for a moment and say: "The subordinate obeys the order...... However, I hope that adults will think twice, after all, this matter is not trivial......"

"You don't need to worry about this, Liu Dianshi, you just have to go to the Xu family and ask for someone to take someone." The county order is a face-to-face, without any accommodating meaning.

Continuing to scold his mother in his heart, Liu Cai could only order five or six equally unlucky servants and hesitantly walked out of the yamen. And the county magistrate thought about it for a while, and then said to the yacha below: "You go out and let all the people outside the yamen in, today's court trial, this official will give Deng Bo justice in front of the people of the whole city!" ”

"Ah......" Everyone was shocked again, it seems that the county order is going to make a big deal out of the matter, it is really worthy of being a madman county order, and as soon as he makes a move, he completely ignores it. But even if they were very surprised by this, they really didn't want to be enemies of the Xu family in their hearts, but after the county order issued this order in the court, they could only obey it.

After a while, two unlucky yacha came out of the hall and came to the gate of the county government, conveying the meaning of the county magistrate to the hundreds of people gathered here.

As soon as he said this, it immediately caused a commotion in the crowd, and then after the eight-character door of the county government was opened, people rushed to rush in. It is rare to be able to hear the trial in the county office, and listening to this time is enough to brag about it from relatives and friends for a while in the future, not to mention that the case of this trial involves the Xu family, so the matter is naturally more interesting, and everyone naturally wants to participate in it at the first time.

However, there are also some people who know the depth but don't think that there will be any good things to watch today, but they are afraid that this court trial will not be able to go on at all, because the Xu family may not pay attention to the summons of the district and county officials. Without the defendant present, how Ren County ordered him to play, the effect was not enough to see.

Since even many people have thought of this, the prefectural ordinance, which is the central figure in this matter, will not fail to take it into account. But he wasn't too panicked in his heart, it was a big deal to send someone to the Xu family to forcibly take people when the time came, as long as the matter was made bigger, it would be enough for the Xu family to drink a pot.

But this time, the reaction of the Xu family also surprised many people. After Liu Cai led someone to convey the meaning of the county magistrate, they did not turn him away, but cooperated very well to hand over one of the stewards involved, Xu Chang, which made Liu Cai, who was still a little worried, relieved.

However, the look of this Xu Changxu steward did not show the slightest uneasiness about to be tried in the yamen, and he looked imposing on a high-headed horse, and on the way to the county ya, it was also a show of martial arts, and only compared Liu Cai, who was on foot, to those servants and servants.

In this regard, Liu Cai didn't even dare to show the slightest unhappiness. In fact, in their hearts, it is already a big face for the other party to be able to rush to the county government for trial at the request of their own summons, as for how he went, even if he let someone carry a sedan chair over, it was not a matter, let alone just riding a horse, which looked more majestic.

However, this scene fell into the eyes of the surrounding people, but it once again lost the face of the county government, and in everyone's opinion, this was just another farce.

But whether it is a farce or not, only one Xu Chang can't have the final say, at least in this court trial, the one who holds the initiative is still the Huating County Order, who is regarded as a madman!

Seeing that Xu Chang was still majestic when he entered the hall as a suspect and defendant, and he didn't take his seven-rank main hall seriously at all, the county order's face sank suddenly. When he just bowed his hand to himself, he couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately slapped the shocked wood and reprimanded: "Bold Xu Chang, seeing this official, you dare to kneel so much, are you despising the court?" ”

In the face of his reprimand, Xu Chang did not panic at all, but smiled indifferently and said: "Your Excellency, it is not that you are disrespecting the official mansion, but you are really famous in your lower body, and you are a disciple of a saint, so you don't dare to bow your knees to your lord!" ”

"Are you lifting?" When the county magistrate heard this, his brows furrowed unconsciously, and after looking up and down at the man who really looked like a scholar, he asked for a moment, "Then you said that you are the manager of the Xu family?" ”

"Go back to the eldest master, and he is indeed the third manager of the Xu Mansion!" Xu Chang replied with a slight bow, and there was still some smugness and pride in his tone. He does have reason to feel proud, although the reputation of selling himself is not so good, but as the third steward of the Xu Mansion, he is afraid that his status is higher than that of many prefects, so he looks down on the county magistrate in front of him in his heart.

As soon as he said this, the county magistrate sitting in the hall picked up the startled wood and slapped it again: "Bold!" What a humiliation! Since you know that you are a disciple of a saint, you have been able to make a name for yourself in the examination for ten years, and you don't want to serve the court and serve the country, but you actually devote yourself to other people's doors as slaves. Not only do I not feel ashamed of this, but I look complacent, which is really cold! ”

"You ......" was scolded by someone pointing his nose like this, Xu Chang really hadn't encountered it in the past few years, and he was immediately annoyed. But I wanted to have a seizure but I couldn't, because what the other party said was also very reasonable, as a famous person, I took refuge in the Xu family as a slave like this - the steward is actually a slave, but the status is slightly higher than that of ordinary slaves - it is really insulting.

Seeing that he had overwhelmed the other party in terms of momentum, the county commander continued to pursue while he was victorious, and snorted: "Since you are already the steward of the Xu family, your previous fame is naturally innumerable, how can you be presumptuous in front of this official, hurry up and kneel down and reply to me!" "Well, after a few words, things turned around.

The people of the Ming Dynasty, if they follow the rules of the time of Taizu, can be divided into four levels of agriculture, industry and commerce, and then some lowly people, including slaves. Although after more than 200 years, the previous hierarchical pattern has been broken, and the merchants at the end of the fourth rank have long been second only to the scholars in terms of status, and some big businessmen can even sit on an equal footing with officials, but no matter how much the class has changed, at the bottom, it is impossible for the despised, lowly people who are despised by others to get on the table.

In fact, if it is true, Xu Chang, the manager of the Xu family, naturally no one dares to regard him as a lowly member, but the county order must be more true, and he has no way to refute it, who told him to really sell himself and take refuge?

In the face of the surging momentum of the county order, Xu Chang's previous arrogance was suddenly greatly reduced, and after being oppressed by him so condescendingly, he felt even more empty. This feeling of being completely suppressed by others, he had only felt it on Xu Jie, but he didn't expect to feel it today on the body of a seven-rank county order.

"This is just a madman, I don't need to fight him, even if I kneel to him, I can't miss a piece of meat......" With self-consolation words in his mind, Xu Chang finally bent his knees and knelt down towards the county order: "Grass people Xu Chang meet the master!" ”

His actions naturally caused the surprise of everyone inside and outside the hall, and no one expected that the steward of the Xu family would really be forced to kneel to a small seven-rank official, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it.

"It's a good show today, and there is actually this good show......"

"Our big man is really a bit majestic!"

"Is he trying to completely anger the Xu family? I really don't know how dead words are written? ”

The people and the officials in the hall immediately exchanged their heads and ears, and the scene of the court trial was buzzing like a swarm of flies, which made the county order's brows furrow again, and immediately slapped the hall again: "Give me silence!" ”

This time, everyone clearly felt his official position, and suddenly all the voices were silent, and everyone's eyes refocused on him. Seeing that the situation was improving, the county order fell on Xu Chang again: "Xu Chang, since you are here on behalf of the Xu family, the official asks you, are you guilty?" ”

This time, Xu Chang's answer did not hesitate at all: "I don't know what the sin is, I hope the eldest master will make it clear." ”

"Oh, at this time you still refuse to confess your sin? Okay, then the official will let you understand! Your Xu family has always relied on their identity to see no king's law, and has always oppressed the good. In this regard, this official has long wanted to rectify you. And today, Deng Bo, the bitter lord of the city, beat the drum and shouted his grievances, accusing you to the official that the Xu family occupied his family's land, what do you have to say about this matter? ”

Xu Chang quietly listened to the county order and finished speaking, and then gently raised his head, and said disdainfully: "Master, this matter is small and the Xu family dare not respond." This matter is that Deng Bo is falsely accusing our Xu family, my lord, you just listen to his side and decide that our Xu family is guilty, which is difficult to convince. ”

"What do you mean by that?" The county commander's heart suddenly tightened, and a feeling of uneasiness suddenly rose in his heart......
