Chapter 48: Secret Moves
I didn't expect Xiao Mo to really do it, to beat the shopkeeper Su, not only the people, but also the squires were also very surprised, as for the defendant Wang Ergou, he was even more dumbfounded, but he was a clever person, and quickly knelt in the lobby.
"My lord, my lord's ......" Shopkeeper Su struggled and stretched out his hand to Xiao Mo, it seems that Shopkeeper Su is also afraid that his chrysanthemums will not be guaranteed, and Li Yuan and others have not come out to speak for themselves until now, so the casual clothes softened and shouted: "My lord, the little people know that they are wrong, please be gracious!" ”
Hearing Shopkeeper Su begging for mercy, the flesh on Li Yuan's face twitched, his face was ugly, this coward, didn't he even dare to hold on? If you are beaten today, then when the time comes to negotiate with the yamen, we will have an excuse to bargain!
There was no way, looking at the shopkeeper Su who was so frightened that he begged for mercy, Li Yuan could only secretly hate how he had found such an inadequate thing, and then he had to stand up and salute Xiao Mo: "Lord Xiao!" ”
Xiao Mo ignored Shopkeeper Su, but Li Yuan stood up, so he couldn't ignore it, after all, people are also decent people in Shen County! "Oh, Li Yuanwai is also here, the ransom official is now on official business, and he can't entertain outside the staff, why don't you do this, Liang An, Liang An?"
After shouting a few words, Lin Yiye ran out from behind Xiya, and Xiao Mo pointed at Li Yuan: "Liang An, this is Li Yuanwai, but the nobles of this county, you go and entertain!" ”
Lin Yiye nodded, and then smiled at Li Yuanwai: "Li Yuanwai, look up for a long time!" Later, please! ”
Li Yuanwai ignored Lin Yiye, and of course did not step into the lobby of the West Ya, but said to Xiao Mo from afar: "My lord, Xiaomin came to the county government this time to see how the adults deal with this case, after all, this matter is about our grain merchants, Xiaomin is courageous, please punish the illegal people and compensate for the loss of the shopkeeper Su!" ”
Xiao Mo deliberately troubled the shopkeeper Su, just to suppress the grain merchants in terms of momentum and suppress their sharpness, such a little trick obviously couldn't hide from Li Yuan, so as soon as Li Yuan opened his mouth, he led the topic to the case, and did not entangle with Xiao Mo on the issue of the shopkeeper Su's contempt for the official frame, and Li Yuan's words were square, and he kept saying that the shopkeeper Su was the victim, and asked Xiao Mo to give an explanation, if Xiao Mo still wanted to beat the shopkeeper Su, it would inevitably give the people outside who came to see Xiao Mo's trial a wrong understanding, I thought Xiao Mo was an unreasonable person, the plaintiff came to sue, you didn't ask anything, just beat the plaintiff first, if there is any grievance dispute in the future, who will dare to come to you?
Li Yuan is really not a person to deal with, he has a backstage support, and he is not afraid of offending the county, and even the prefect Zhou Chang has to give Li Yuanli three points, Xiao Mo is of course nothing in Li Yuan's eyes, so when it comes to talking, Li Yuan does not have the slightest scruples!
Hearing Li Yuan speak, Shopkeeper Su's heart settled down again, yes! I'm the plaintiff, what am I afraid of?
He broke away from the servant and stood up, Li Yuanneng spoke to Xiao Mo like that, Su shopkeeper definitely couldn't, bowed down to Xiao Mo, and said: "My lord, this Wang Ergou was originally a scoundrel in the city, he had nothing to do every day, he was lazy to eat, and he often relied on the door of the store, I saw that he was alone, and there was an old mother, so he often took help, who knew that today this guy didn't think about reporting, and actually demolished my shop door and injured the guy in my shop, this matter, everyone saw it, and the adults of the City Supervision Department also arrested Wang Ergou on the spot, This matter cannot be denied, and please make decisions for the small people! ”
"Hmm!" Xiao Mo nodded and pondered when he heard this, from Lin Yiye's mouth, Xiao Mo also knew that this Wang Ergou was arrested on the spot, and what the shopkeeper Su said was right, and he didn't add oil and vinegar, of course, as for whether Wang Ergou was really often helped by the shopkeeper Su, Xiao Mo didn't know.
However, Xiao Mo's current idea is that he will fight first and then talk about it, this case, regardless of whether Wang Ergou was instructed or not, Xiao Mo has reason to believe that these squires must want to take the opportunity of this case to face themselves and try what they think in their hearts.
At the banquet the night before, Xiao Mo left angrily, Li Yuan didn't care too much about Xiao Mo, although the poem was good, but that's all! But after hearing that Li Ji had left Shen County and asked Xiao Mo to act as the county officer, Li Yuan became cautious.
For Xiao Mo's background, of course Li Yuan and they will investigate, Xiao Mo is a native of Shen County, he began to get sick at fourteen, and then stayed in bed at home for three years, Li Yuan They all know these news, in ancient times, a Xiucai was almost the same as an otaku in later generations, and Li Yuan They could find out so much.
It's not that Li Yuan can't be found, but Xiao Mo used to be a scholar who stayed at home, a typical nerd.
After knowing that Xiao Mo didn't have any background, it was much easier, at least Li Yuan didn't have to worry about anything, and he could bargain with Xiao Mo with confidence, but thinking of what happened in the Li Mansion that night, Li Yuan was very unhappy, and he always wanted to make Xiao Mo embarrassed before he was willing.
So after the incident of Wang Ergou this time, Li Yuan and Su Shopkeeper combined, and simply wanted to take this opportunity to force Xiao Mo to punish Wang Ergou first, and then encourage the people to ask Xiao Mo for an answer on the matter of Feng Ping, if Xiao Mo told the truth, then Shen County would definitely be in chaos.
Originally, it was indeed Wang Ergou's crime, and it was understandable for Xiao Mo to punish him, but now in this period, if Xiao Mo punishes Wang Ergou, I am afraid that the people will think that Xiao Mo is killing chickens and monkeys, and then suppressing them, which is diametrically opposed to Xiao Mo's intentions.
Li Yuan's thoughts, how could Xiao Mo not know?
He stood in the upper hall, curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and then an idea came to mind.
Since Li Yuan wants to use the people to put pressure on himself, why can't he use his own way to govern others?
