The cold stick hit the body, and how many people's hearts were followed by a chill, this situation is extremely common in the county hall, and the slightest carelessness is a stick down. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The sound of killing pigs came from outside, and the people holding the paper-like paper looked sideways, "Brother-in-law, save me, save me." The wailing continued to come, and the fat county commander couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead, this time it was really moving.

"Drag it in."

The two of them fought left and right, dragged the man in from the outside like a dead pig, lay on the ground and begged for mercy again and again, "Spare your life, your lord." ”

"The truth of the facts has been clarified, and if you resist, you will only suffer more flesh and skin, and if you tell the truth, you can be dealt with lightly."

"I said, I said, I really wanted the Zhang family's field at the beginning, but unfortunately the old thing was not sold, and then I moved my mind, these are all the ideas of the master, first ask the master Zhang out to get drunk, and carry it to the place prepared in advance, that woman is not a clean body, and she is naturally willing to take the silver, and there is such a scandal, Master Zhang naturally wants to calm things down, so he sent someone to take the opportunity to ask for money and force the other party to sell the field, but I didn't expect the old guy to die in a fit of anger, it was he who was not angry, not us who killed people." The man knelt there, and after being beaten, he was suddenly a lot more honest, and his heart was gone, and he could only continue to suffer if he didn't confess, not to mention that he didn't kill anyone and didn't set fire, even if he was guilty, it wasn't big.

"This magistrate doesn't know at all?"

"I don't know, although I have a little relative, if you know that I am doing this kind of thing behind my back, you won't scold me to death, and the people who came forward at that time were all hired with money."

"Lord County Order, how should the case be decided?"

"The relevant person will be beaten for thirty strokes, and it will be returned to the Zhang family, and the liquidation losses will be borne by this person."

"So light?"

The county magistrate hurriedly said: "The humble duty is also done in accordance with the law, if the adult is too light, the punishment can be increased." "After all, I have been a county magistrate for more than ten years, and I am very familiar with sentencing, and the whole thing is just a deliberate attempt to buy the other party's land, and the death of the old man of the Zhang family is a matter of going back, plus he has a physical illness, so it is not much related.

"What does Lord Qi think?"

Qi Tai coughed, "Deliberately plotting to rob other people's property eventually led to death, Qi thought that if the law is not strict, it will be difficult for the people to be angry, and accomplices cannot be tolerated either." ”

Lin Feng nodded, "Return all the Zhang family's property immediately, and pay double the compensation according to the Zhang family's losses, as for you and the master." ”

"Your Excellency, spare your life." Kneeling on the side, the master begged for mercy again and again, but he didn't expect this guy to confess himself.

"The main culprit was first put into the prison, and he was beaten with a cane for 30 and driven out of Dangtu County."

The master was dragged out like a dead dog, and at this time he had long lost his previous momentum, Lin Feng got up and came to the county commander, "If the stick hits the body, will it hurt?" ”

"It hurts."

"Since the adults know in their hearts, why did they poison the old man of the Zhang family with a clear conscience, because the officials were not clear, and they shielded their relatives, and they should be guilty of the same crime, what are you waiting for."

Kneeling on the ground this time, the county commander's face turned blue, and the screams outside had not stopped, and the two stepped forward and couldn't help but say that they would drag them out, Qi Tai was happy, "I'm afraid this trick of beating people is also easy to addict to Lord Lin." ”

Lin Feng said with a smile: "If this person doesn't fight, how dare the people tell the truth, this is called knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, and if you want to find out the case of the Taiping Mansion, this is just the beginning." ”

The high-ranking county magistrate was dragged out and beaten, and the people opened their eyes, and kept applauding, and also secretly guessed what the origin of this one came from, even if the prefect came, he always had to leave some face, after all, they were all officials, and they beat two of them.

After a busy day, a lot of cases have been done, and I have never seen the people Lin Feng wants, all the people who came today are the people in the county, Lin Feng is not in a hurry, this kind of thing will soon spread throughout the Taiping Mansion, and then those suffering people will definitely flock to it, as long as they find enough evidence, they can follow the vine and find out the big tiger hidden behind.

After a few days passed, the number of complaints gradually decreased, and when Tu County ordered him to stay in the house for a while to recuperate, and after the matter was clarified, how to deal with it had to be reported to the people of the Criminal Department for review and approval.

Qi Tai accompanied Zhu Yunwen to stay in the county office, looked through the account books, tried to find flaws in them, and looked at it, there was no problem, the records of the grain and taxes handed over every year were extremely clear, and the use of each account of the county government was also listed one by one.

Zhu Yunwen put down the account book in his hand, "Lord Qi, do you see something wrong?" ”

Qi Tai shook his head, "There is no problem with the accounts in the past, even this year's accounts are also carried out in accordance with the decree issued by the imperial court, the land in Taiping Mansion is not collected, and the grain tax collected is halved, why is it completely different from what Tang Yishi said!" Qi Tai was also puzzled, of course, these accounts were made by people, it was difficult to see anything from the accounts alone, the tax on autumn grain had ended, and it was not easy to find direct evidence.

Zhu Yunwen got up, "There must be a reason for this, and I can only put my hope on Lord Lin." ”

The lively situation in front of the county hall disappeared, and most of the cases that should be decided were over, after all, this is just a remote county town, and on the same day, he helped the scholar resign and go to the capital to catch the exam, at this time Lin Feng knew that the scholar's surname was Huang Mingcheng, and he was quite famous in Dangtu, but unfortunately he had not been able to get fame because of his family's poverty.

"Get out for a walk."

"Yes, sir."

Lin Feng left a few people to guard, took Xiao He and a few people out of Dangtu County, followed the path to the west, and finally saw a village, there were children playing in front of it, it was almost dusk at this time, the cooking smoke was faint, and the air was filled with the aroma of food.

"My lord, it seems to be a little different from what Tang Lin said."

"You can't just look at the surface, the court has sent someone to check it again, the other party has long been alert, this time it must be more careful, this place is the closest to the county, rabbits don't hit the grass next to the nest, you and I understand this truth, and the other party is equally clear." Lin Feng looked at the village in front of him, there was no sign of decay, and he definitely couldn't find anything here.

Look around and see if you can find the marks left by Tang Niu.

The group entered Dangtu County, only Tang Niu and Lu Jun were not seen, according to common sense, the two should have arrived a long time ago, Dangtu County is a large county in Taiping Province, leaving the village and going down the path, and finally found something on a stone.

"My lord, here."

A few people quickly came to the front, and a mark appeared on the top of the stone, and Lin Feng touched it with his hand, it should be carved with a sharp dagger, "The two of them have been here, leave a mark, and tell them that we are in Dangtu County." ”

"Yes."

One person bends down and carefully engraves a mark underneath the mark, not just a simple symbol, which can reflect something completely different.

"Go back to the county government first."

Not to show Lin Feng everyone, just Tang Niu, Lu Jun, disguised out of Beijing, all the way non-stop, seven days ago had arrived here, according to Lin Feng's instructions, do not go to the county seat, when you get there, you can't find anything, you will only startle the snake, simply go to a remote place, only to the place where the government is unwilling to go can truly reflect the suffering of the people.

"Someone's coming."

The two quickly flashed to the side, hiding behind the boulder, and happened to see a group of people coming, the leader was the county master, the back was carrying the guy and the servant, and the last was the coachman with the cart, and the grain that was forcibly collected from the village was placed on it, and he returned from the path with a proud face, and he didn't notice that there were two people hiding behind the stones on the side.

"It's not a good thing to see that person without it."

"This time it's the right time, they came from here, let's go from here, there must be a lot of articles in it."

"Let's go."

The figures of the two flashed out, following the car prints all the way inward, the situation in front of them can only be described as miserable, dilapidated houses, old people and women sitting on the ground and lost their souls, in order to avoid the taxes of the government, most of the young people in the village hid in the mountains, leaving some old people, women and children, no matter how fierce the people of the government are, they can't catch these people.

"It's already for you, and my old bones." Just as the two approached the village, an old man rushed out diagonally, and the wooden stick in his hand went straight to Tang Niu's shoulder.

The other party stumbled under his feet, after all, he was old, Tang Niu stood there motionless, stretched out his hands and hugged the old man, with a snap, the stick hit his body, and the old man was stunned, but he was just angry for a while, but he didn't expect to really hit someone.
