As soon as these words came out, not only Xuan Chuang, Chen Bo and others who had ghosts in their hearts froze, but even those onlookers also showed curious expressions, and turned to look at Yang Chen again, not knowing what else he wanted to say or do. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Before Yang Chen could say anything, an errand officer who was guarding outside the yamen suddenly ran over with a different face, and shouted as soon as he arrived in front of the lobby: "My lord, someone else escorted a prisoner to the county ya, saying that he wanted to ask the county lord to administer justice for them." ”

"Huh?" Zhao Bangfu and Jiang Chong both looked puzzled, why did people keep coming to the gate of the county government in the past two days? Could it really be that the Chen family set a precedent, causing the people of the county to no longer take the county government seriously? But when their gaze fell on Yang Chen's face, they vaguely felt that things were not so simple. Because Yang Xianling's face flashed red at this moment, after glancing at Xuanchuang, who was a little apprehensive below, he ordered: "Bring someone in and talk back!" ”

"Yes!" The officer hurriedly agreed, and hurried out again.

It was only at this time that Xuan Chuang came back to his senses a little, and couldn't help but object: "My lord, this is the county government hall, and it is really not suitable to interrogate some small cases." In the opinion of the following officials, it is better to take the person to the second hall for retrial. ”

"What, does Xuandian Shi think it's inappropriate to do this? However, the official felt that it was best to ask the case here, and the official wanted to act with a clear conscience, and he was not afraid of retrying a case in public. Yang Chen was unmoved, but instead spoke up to Xuan Chuang with deep meaning.

If it was before, Xuan Chuang would definitely fight back at this moment. But now that Yang Chen was in full swing by judging the case just now, he didn't dare to deal with him for a while, so he had to shut up and stop persuading, but the uneasiness in his heart was even stronger, and he even forgot to ask what Yang Chen's intention was to let the Chen clan stay.

After a while, several men pushed a thin man with his upper body firmly bound by ropes to the outside of the lobby. When the Chen clan saw these people, they were all stunned, and they recognized that these people were the people of the Cai clan who had many conflicts with them, and the young man led by them was Cai Yingyang's brother Cai Feiyang.

What's going on? Everyone looked at this group of uninvited guests with puzzled eyes, only a few people such as Xuan Chuang and Chen Bo flashed with surprise on their faces when they saw the man who was tied by ropes.

"Who is in the hall, why did you come to the county government to complain?" Yang Chen's question brought everyone's attention back to himself.

Cai Feiyang saw that his brother was already free, and he was sure in his heart, but at this moment, it was not the time to talk to Cai Yingyang, so he only nodded at him, and then walked to the front of the hall and knelt down to report: "Lord Qiyu County, I waited for the villagers to suddenly catch a thief from an unknown source last night, and I specially kidnapped him to see the official!" ”

"Oh? Is there such a thief? How unreasonable! Yang Chen's face turned cold, and he said at that time: "Bring the thief to the official to the court!" ”

"Yes!" Several officials came out in response and skillfully escorted the kidnapped man into the lobby.

When the man entered the hall, his expression was still a little frightened, but he was relieved, and he quickly shouted at Xuanchuang: "Xuandian History, the villain is wronged." The villain was just ordered to ......"

"Shut up, you bold thief, you dare to roar wantonly in the court, it really makes no sense!" Xuan Chuang was called by him like this, and immediately became nervous, and hurriedly scolded him, interrupting the other party's speech.

The man was shocked to realize that something was wrong, and quickly stopped his mouth, looking at Xuan Chuang with a gloomy face with a look of surprise. Yang Chen saw it, but he was not in a hurry to ask about the relationship between this person and Xuan Chuang, but his eyes fell on Cai Feiyang, who followed in, and asked, "How did you take down this person?" Why take him? ”

"Back to my lord, isn't this a recent murder in the village? Fearing that something would happen again, we young people gathered some people to patrol around the village at night. Last night, I happened to see this person sneaking past the village, telling him to stop, not only did he keep but wanted to run, who could it be if he wasn't a thief? ”

"Well, there's some truth to that." Yang Chen nodded again and again, and then turned his gaze to Xuan Chuang: "Xuandian History, you are old in the way of judging cases, do you have any thoughts on this?" ”

"This ......" Xuan Chuang was suddenly a little entangled, this person was Xue San'er who he sent to the Chen family to contact and let them come to the yamen again to make trouble. Since he sent people, he should naturally be rescued. But just now Xue San'er called himself in a hurry, which was enough to make Yang Chen suspicious, if he spoke out again, he was afraid of arousing the other party's suspicion even more, so he didn't know how to express his position for a while.

But Yang Chen didn't give him a chance to think carefully, and immediately seemed to understand: "It seems that the idea of Xuandian History is consistent with this official. The place is not quiet, and it should be re-enacted. Since this man is indeed a thief who has done wrong, he should be punished well for the sake of making an example of him. Come on, drag him down for me, take eighty boards seriously, and then hang them at the gate of the county government for half a month, in order to set an example! ”

"Yes!" When several officials heard this, they stepped forward, picked up Xue San'er and wanted to take him out of the hall for execution.

When the onlookers saw this, many of them showed unbearable expressions. Although this person is suspected of misdeeds, is it too heavy for the county lord to sentence him like this? I'm afraid that if the eighty boards go down, this person will be seriously injured, and then he will be shackled by dozens of catties of big wooden flail for half a month, but I am afraid that if he does not die, he will be crippled.

Xue San'er was also familiar with the yamen, so he naturally knew that if this punishment was realized, he would definitely not be able to stand it with his small body, so he immediately became anxious. But when he looked at Xuan Chuang with a distress look, Xuandian Shi was silent at the moment, and he had no intention of interceding for himself at all. Now he was really hairy, and he shouted at that time: "Adult, adult, the little one is wronged." The villain Xue San'er, just went to Chenjiaao to deliver a letter, he is really not a thief, ask the adults to see it! ”

"Wait!" Yang Chen stopped the actions of the yachas, stared at Xue San'er and said, "You said that you went to Chenjiaao to deliver the letter, but who did you send it to?" Hurry up and bring it from the truth, otherwise the sin will be increased by one degree. ”

Now that the matter has come to this point, Xuandian History seems to be unreliable, Xue San'er can only save himself, and immediately told the truth: "The villain sent a message to Chen Bo of Chen Jiaao on behalf of Xuandian History. Let them ...... tomorrow Ah no, I came to the yamen today to make a noise and force the adults to close the case quickly! ”

As soon as he said this, there was a sudden silence inside and outside the hall, and everyone's eyes fell on Xuan Chuang and Chen Bo, who were already pale. Xuan Chuang's eyes were staring at this uncompetitive guy, wishing that his gaze could turn into a sword and chop it to pieces. But now it seems that it is too late, and even if he tries to stop it, he will be in trouble.

"Xuandian History, Old Patriarch Chen, is this person's words true?" Yang Chen's face sank, and his voice became cold, sweeping towards the two people.

"This ......" Xuan Chuang has not yet responded, Chen Bo has already made a decision after hesitation, and immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed: "I ask for forgiveness from my lord, the grass people are also protective of their children, so they made such a foolish move." If he had known that the county lord was so wise, the grass people would never dare to do such a thing. ”

As soon as he said this, Xue San'er's confession was implemented, and now Xuanchuang couldn't deny it. And Chen Bo's words fell into his ears, which was tantamount to a thunderbolt from the sky, which made him tremble, his eyes blackened, and he almost fainted.

"Good, good, good!" Yang Chen's face changed several times, and three good words came out of his mouth, only to see him staring at Xuanchuang deadly: "No wonder some people want to say that it is difficult to prevent thieves, it turns out that all this is a stalk made by you in the history of Xuandian." Just now, the official felt strange, why the Chen family was so eager to keep making trouble to the county government, it turned out that all this was done by you! Xuandian History, this official asks you, why did you do this? Do you feel that this official has offended you somewhere, or do you not trust the ability of this official, and feel that you need to let the people come to the yamen to make noise, and you have lost the face of the yamen and the court, so that the official can no longer serve as the commander of this Zhuji county, so that your wish has been fulfilled? Say! The last word, like a spring thunder in the tongue, shook everyone in the hall trembling, which showed how angry Yang Chen was at the moment.

"Xiaguan ......" Xuanchuang's face turned from blue to white, and he opened his mouth to snort, but he couldn't come up with a proper reason, so he had to shut up, but his eyes were staring at the two stupid people who betrayed him - Xue San'er and Chen Bo.

"You don't have anything to say, do you? As an official of the imperial court, you do not want to assist the official and serve the imperial court, but you instigate the local people to come to the county government to pick quarrels and provoke troubles. Yang Chen pointed at Xuan Chuang and continued to vent his anger. After a long time, he looked at Zhao Bangfu and Jiang Chong, who were also a little stunned on the side, and said: "Zhao Xiancheng and Jiang Zhushu, you can also see today's things clearly, are you willing to write to Shaoxing Mansion with this official and impeach this fang?" ”

"This ......" Zhao Jiang and the others glanced at each other, and after a little hesitation, they couldn't help but nod their heads: "Xiaguan should follow the tail of the adult!" ”

"You ......" I didn't expect that the two people who had always called themselves brothers and sisters would fall into the well at this moment, and Xuan Chuang was even more angry. But what could his anger mean at the moment?

In fact, the two people also considered this decision. After the matter was exposed, it was indeed difficult for Xuan Chuang to gain a foothold in the county government, on the contrary, Yang Chen's county order was bound to rise in momentum with the cracking of this murder case, and now they didn't want to confront it head-on.

As for the two Xuanli families behind each of them, the two families were just not fighting, but they didn't say that they wanted to defend each other. Since it was Xuan Chuang who lost to Yang Chen in one move this time, he could only admit it!

At this time, Yang Chen had already waved his hand and said, "Take Xuan Chuang to the prison and wait for the government to respond." As for the Chen family, this official thinks that you were deceived and manipulated by others to do such a wrong thing, so I will spare you this experience. But if there is a next time, the punishment for the two crimes will not be lenient! ”

"Thank you, Master for your kindness!" The people of the Chen clan bowed to the ground gratefully, this time out of sincerity.

And those people who watched the excitement had a new understanding of Yang Chen, and they only felt that this young county magistrate not only judged the case first-class, but also was very square, which can be said to be a rare Qingtian master.

Yang Zhen stood in the middle of the servants, watching Yang Chen exert his might today, and solve the things one by one, his heart was overjoyed, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief. His brother's road to the county order is finally smooth!

Xuan Chuang was picked up by his former subordinates, and couldn't help but look back at Yang Chen, who had stood up from behind the case, and in addition to being full of resentment, he also confirmed in his heart: "It turns out that I have already fallen into their trap!" ”
