Wang Xiancheng was speechless, so he had to retreat and sit on the side sulking. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Lu Fei glanced at everyone and asked, "You are all here to sue Lord Wang?" ”
Everyone replied in unison, "Yes"
"But there is a form" is a form of paper, which is an indispensable thing before filing a complaint.
Hu Laohan took out a piece of paper full of words from his arms, raised his hands above his head, "Yes"
Zhao Bantou stepped forward to take it and presented it to Lu Fei.
"Master Li" Lu Fei saw that these words were big, so he called Li Shun in the back hall.
Li Shun took the complaint and read it out in the court, "Today, 68 bitter masters such as Hu Laosan and Wu Shiqing jointly reported and sued Wang Zhongren of Susong County, one of which was for perverting the law for bribes, the second of his selfish desire to abuse the people, and the third of his looting of people's property, and now lists his illegal deeds as follows......
Li Shun finished reading it in one breath, and Wang Xiancheng was frightened when he heard it, and beads of sweat the size of beans rushed down his cheeks.
After Li Shun finished reading, Lu Fei asked Wang Xiancheng with a sideways look, "Lord Wang, what do you think of this?" ”
Wang Xiancheng hurriedly got up, waved his hand again and again, and tried his best to justify, "False accusation, it is purely false accusation, I hope that the adults will see it and give the officials justice."
Lu Fei knocked on the table of the desk, "So many people say that they have noses and eyes, it seems that Lord Wang, your popularity is not very good."
Wang Xiancheng arched his hand and said, "My lord, the word "everyone" can't be reversed."
Lu Fei suddenly said, "Oh, yes, Lord Wang is reasonable, Hu Laohan, you have evidence to sue Wang County, and it is a serious crime to falsely accuse the court officials."
Hu Laohan kowtowed again, "Back to the old man, the old man and other sixty-eight people are the evidence, just say that this time because of the theft caused by the unjust prison, a total of sixty-eight people were put in prison, tortured not to mention, but also extorted two hundred taels of silver from their families, a total of 27 of them paid off the silver and were exempted from responsibility, and the silver was released as soon as it was handed over, and there was no receipt, nor any statement, but also ask the lord to investigate"
As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion in the hall, and those who paid the insurance bank shouted, "Yes, sir, we paid the insurance bank."
"Master, this silver is not in vain."
"He Swallowed the Money"
……
Lu Fei pressed his hand, motioned for everyone to be quiet, and asked, "Who did you hand over the insurance bank, and who asked you for it?" ”
Hu Laohan said, "It was Li Liu, the head of the county jail, who sent us a message, and the silver was also collected by Li Liu?" ”
Lu Fei nodded, turned his head and asked Wang Xiancheng, "Lord Wang, have you ever had a matter of guaranteeing silver?"
Wang County Wang waved his hand again, "There is no such thing, the lower official body is not afraid of crooked shadows"
"Oh, one said yes, the other said no, this is embarrassing, okay, Lord Wang, you go to the back hall to rest first, let this official think about it, Master Wu, don't help Lord Wang to rest"
Wu Zishi didn't dare to disobey and helped Wang Xiancheng.
Wang Xiancheng glanced at Hu Laohan and other people in the hall, snorted and brushed his sleeves towards the back hall, as soon as he entered the back office, he saw that Zhao Junma was also here, busy showing a smile, and bowed to Zhao Junma, who knew that this Zhao Junma was frowning, he hated his eyes very much, turned his face away, and no longer looked at him, Wang Xiancheng was bored, uneasy to find a seat to sit, just sat down, but saw Lu Fei sticking out his head from the side of the screen, waving his hand, meaning to let him sit farther away.
Wang Xiancheng moved towards the chair farther away with a displeased expression, and Lu Fei nodded with satisfaction.
"With the head of the cell" Lu Fei chose another way, did not interrogate Wang Zhongren, and started from somewhere else.
It didn't take long for the cell head to come to the lobby, in his thirties, wide and fat, Xu had been in the dark prison for many years, the person looked white and clean, the cell head slipped through the hem of his clothes, walked through the crowd under the hall, and knelt down in front of Lu Fei, "The cell head Li Liu has seen the big man, I don't know what the old man has to summon the little one."
Lu Fei slapped the stunned wood, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he stared at Li Liu, "Li Liu, are you guilty?" ”
Li Liu panicked, and somehow, "Master, the little one, the little one doesn't know."
Lu Fei stepped off the desk, squatted down in front of Li Liu, and said in a deep voice, "Li Liu, you can't have half a lie in front of this official, you look back at these people."
Li Liu turned his head slowly, and immediately understood how he came back, and was stunned for a while.
Lu Fei pointed at Li Liu with his chin and asked everyone, "Is it the silver he asked you for, and the silver he received?" ”
Everyone nodded in unison, "Yes"
Li Liu was stunned and didn't dare to speak, his eyes looked around, he wanted to find Wang Xiancheng, why didn't Master Wang come out to say a word at this time, but unfortunately Master Wang was drinking tea in the deepest part of the back hall, and he couldn't hear the voice in the lobby at all.
Lu Fei saw that Li Liu didn't speak, so he said, "What, you still don't admit your guilt?" And he said, Who hast taken the money, and who commanded thee? ”
Li Liu also wanted to deny it, the silver collected was not a nameless document and there was no receipt from the government, and it was not easy to convict, so he said, "The little one doesn't know what kind of silver is, and he hasn't received any guaranteed silver."
Lu Fei said: "Li Liu, you have to think about it before you talk about it, telling nonsense is a crime."
Li Liu is still a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, "what the little one says is the truth"
Lu Fei sighed and shook his head, "Tsk, why are you so troubled, Lord Wang didn't say that."
Li Liu's face was horrified when he heard this.
Lu Fei smiled slightly, came to the edge of the screen, glanced at Li Shun, Li Shun walked over, the two exchanged words for a while, and then Li Shun nodded and understood, walked towards Wang Xiancheng, who was sitting in the depths of the back hall, came to his side and asked, "Lord Wang, let me ask you how much you have this year."
Wang Xiancheng didn't know why, "Why do you ask?" ”
Li Shundao, "Master Lu is newly appointed, sympathetic to his subordinates, and is planning to add some monthly money to everyone in the yamen, which can be regarded as a meeting gift."
Wang Xiancheng smiled coldly, "One hundred and twenty taels"
"Oh, I know, Lord Wang sit down for a while" Li Shun turned back and nodded at Lu Fei.
So Lu Fei turned his head, covered half of his body behind the screen, pointed to Li Liuchao's back hall and said, "Lord Wang, how much did Li Liu take?" ”
Lord Wang is far away from here, how can I hear this clearly, but Li Liu and all the people in the hall can hear it, Li Liu is no longer possessed by his soul at this time, stretching his neck to see the situation in the back hall, Zhao Bantou slammed the knife, and he shrank back in fright.
Wang Xiancheng saw that Lu Fei seemed to be talking, but he couldn't hear clearly, Lu Fei raised his voice again and shouted, "How much?" ”
This time, Wang Xiancheng heard it, and shouted angrily, "One hundred and twenty taels"
The hall was silent, and everyone could hear what Wang Xiancheng said about one hundred and twenty taels, and Li Liu was already as soft as mud, drooping his head.
'Bang' Lu Fei slapped the shocked wood, "Li Liu, if you don't recruit from the truth, if you are not honest, I will be punished."
Li Liu's face was like ashes, and he said in a loud voice, "Master, no, the small one took a hundred taels, or shared it with the brothers in the prison, and the little one was only a little more than ten taels, Wang Xiancheng took five thousand taels, master, there are really not so many small ones, please also ask the master to check it."
"Oh, just admit it, let's draw a charge" Lu Fei let Li Liu draw a charge and pushed it aside.
This matter of protecting the bank is obvious to all, and the next thing is the tax silver, the tax and silver do not need to be checked at all, the people outside the hall who watched the excitement of the city merchants and street vendors, just take out one can even scold Wang Xiancheng for three days and three nights without repeating the dirty words, but in the past, Wang Xiancheng held the power of the county government, and these people dared to be angry and dare not speak.
The people's hearts can not be bullied, the people's hearts are more usable, when Li Liu just finished painting and retreated to the side, there were bursts of scolding outside the hall, some said, 'corrupt officials should be killed', and some came up with the idea that the way to die should be 'peeling the skin and grass', and at worst, they had to abandon the city, among which the most fierce shouting was the city merchants who were bullied the most on weekdays.
This completely one-sided situation in the lobby had long been deeply stimulating the onlookers, and even some officials who were standing in the hall and maintaining order also joined in the slogan action of overthrowing Wang Xiancheng, and for a moment the crowd was furious, and everyone shouted for killing.
Lu Fei didn't care how they coaxed, even if these people's spitting stars were about to spray on his face, it was best to rush into the back hall and take Nawang County out and kill him on the spot, which would save trouble.
Wang Xiancheng in the back hall didn't understand what was going on for a while, and in the blink of an eye, he became the target of the public, so he hurriedly ran to Zhao Junma's side, and said uneasily, "Master Junma, what's going on?" You can't let these people mess around, they're lawless."
At this time, Zhao Junma also began to sweat, this matter had nothing to do with him, but how did he know what Steward Hu and this Wang Xiancheng had done in private, don't really poke out any big Louzi, provoked a civil uprising, and then spread to the ears of his old father-in-law Ning Wang, it was going to be a bad dish, so he ignored Wang Xiancheng, and took a look first, at this time, he went out to intercede with Wang Xiancheng and was not drowned by saliva.
Wang Xiancheng was circling around Zhao Junma left and right like this, and he was so anxious that he turned around.
Zhao Junma was impatient, waved his hand, "Get out"
Wang Xiancheng stood to the side stupidly and listened to the movement in the public court.
After a while, the two officials ran into the lobby quickly and whispered a few words to Zhao Bantou, and then Zhao Bantou nodded to Lu Fei.
'Bang', with the earth-shattering sound of wood, Lu Fei pulled his neck and shouted, "Chuan Wang County Cheng".
Immediately, a servant cleared out the lobby one by one.
Wang Xiancheng shrank his head, took a step back and slowly moved to the front of the hall, and said, "Lord Lu, why is this?" ”
Lu Fei put his feet on the desk and smiled, "Oh, it's not a big deal, it's just that everyone is discussing how to kill you, I want to hear what you think."
Wang Xiancheng looked around, and all the officials who usually nodded to him were now cold, and even the loyal Master Wu Zishi was nowhere to be seen at this time.
People are forced to be anxious and bold, and if there is no way to retreat, they will not retreat, Wang Xiancheng looked like he was servile, calmly sorted out his official uniform, stared at Lu Fei, and said, "Lord Lu, you are also the head of a county, the main hall of Qipin, how can you speak and act so unconventionally, although I Wang Mou has a small official position, it is also an official of the imperial court and a registered official, you are playing with your own official."
Lu Fei sat upright, attached himself to the desk, knocked on the table and said, "Play, Lord Wang, you really don't cry when you don't see the coffin, come, the merchants."
More than a dozen local merchants poured into the lobby as if they had agreed to do so, kneeling on the ground, each holding a booklet in their hands.
"Are you going to report Wang Xiancheng?" Lu Fei asked.
