Chapter 242: The Case of Confused Officials (II)

"You, you, you spew blood" The old man surnamed Liu was so angry that he trembled, pointed to the old woman on the ground, and loudly defended to Robben, "My lord, she is a crazy woman, her son jumped into the river and died, and she wanted to get a pension money from the old man's family.

"Smack." Robben, who joined the army, slapped the wood heavily and interrupted the words of the old man surnamed Liu, "Enough, did this official let you speak, you are a jury, not the presiding judge, and it is not your turn to judge the case for this official." ”

Liu surnamed Su Lao and several other jurors had refuted Robben dozens of times in succession, but they were not embarrassed by Robben, so they had some contempt in their hearts, and felt that the Huai'an Army was just like that, although they were brave, but they would still be inseparable from their own people in the future, but they didn't expect Robben to play cards according to common sense at all, and immediately turned his face when he said that he turned his face, and was shocked, he immediately realized the huge gap between the officials and the people, and quickly made a long gesture, and sat back in his place with a frown.

"Liu Tuiguan, is her complaint true?" Robben, who joined the army, glared at him fiercely, and then turned his gaze to the criminal, "Why do you want to stop Jiangdu County from taking this grandma's case, is someone promising you any benefits." ”

"Wronged." When Liu Tuiguan heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground and shouted loudly, "The villain is just a pusher, and he has no real power at all, how dare he interfere with how Jiangdu County decides the case, villain"

"You're talking nonsense." The people who complained refuted in unison, "In the entire Yangzhou City, who doesn't know that you Liu Papi specializes in eating case money, and if you don't send money for small cases, you will be made into a big case of beheading, and the real Jiangyang thieves fall into the hands of the government, as long as you receive enough benefits, you can still be released from your own prison and continue to kill people and set fires everywhere." ”

"You people are talking nonsense." Liu Tuiguan glared at him, not angry and arrogant, "This official, I was also a positive sixth grade back then, how can I care about such trivial matters as asking specific questions, this official"

"Shut up." Robben, who joined the army, was irritable when he heard him take a bite of his own officer, slapped the startled wood hard, and asked loudly, "Don't go around in circles, say specific, when this grandma complained, did you hand over the name card to the county government." ”

"This?" Liu Tuiguan originally wanted to deny it, but seeing that Luo Ben's face was not good, he hesitated for a moment, and responded in a low voice, "At the beginning, it seemed that a post was indeed handed over, but, but it was not a matter of specific trial, villain, villain just felt that at the end of the year, there must be many people who would quarrel with their employers, and there are thousands of shops and workshops in Yangzhou City, and at the end of the year, it is an important gateway for collecting commercial taxes, so this kind of behavior cannot be encouraged in any case, otherwise, the consequences will be very unpredictable." ”

"You" joined the army Robben gritted his teeth in anger, and he couldn't wait to jump up and slash Liu Tuiguan to death, this is obviously a case of collusion between officials and businessmen to poison the people, and Liu Tuiguan must have accepted bribes from it, but this guy actually has the face to say the excuse in a high-sounding manner, as if if he didn't do this, the world would be in chaos.

was indignant, but heard another young man crying loudly: "Lord Qingtian, don't be fooled by the surname Liu, he is for the peace of Yangzhou City, he is just to find an excuse for his greed and perversion of the law, the villain was also a trader back then, and the white porcelain made in Yangzhou was the first-class, because he was accidentally involved in a wrongful lawsuit at the end of last year, and was blackmailed again and again by this surnamed Liu, and finally even the entire shop and a porcelain kiln outside the city belonged to him, If it is to let everyone have a stable year, why does he refuse to open up to the villain, it stands to reason that the villain is also the owner of the store, and the villain also pays silver to the government at a fixed time every year. ”

"Lord Qingtian, he's lying." Several other bitter masters also spoke one after another, loudly accusing Liu Tuiguan of his crimes, "The last time the slave of the grain merchant Lao Qian's family broke my eldest brother's leg on the dock, it was also a case that he came forward to give Ping, but my eldest brother's leg was broken in vain, and he had to pay the old Qian family for delaying the grain shipment." ”

"He took a fancy to the villain's house and wanted to pay 200 yuan to buy it, but the villain's father refused, so he found a habitual thief, surrendered himself, and accused his father of selling stolen goods.

"He wanted to take the villain's sister as a concubine, but he refused to pay the bride price, so he colluded with the government and insisted that the villain's family had dealings with Mingjiao"

The suffering lord wept and said, "One by one, one by one, each of them is finger-pointing."

Liu Tuiguan kept quibbling and picking himself clean, and among the jurors, there were also a few old men with angry faces, ready to jump up and refute at any time, but they couldn't figure out the path of Master Luo Benluo, for fear of provoking the other party to suddenly soar, so he had to be patient for the time being and wait for the right time.

The more the presiding judge Robben listened, the more angry he became, the more angry he listened, the five fingers of his right hand kept opening and closing under the table, what he wanted to try today was the crime committed by Zhang Mingjian and others in Yangzhou City more than half a year ago, and it had nothing to do with the accusations of the bitter masters, but if Liu Wencai was not brought to justice, it really made him feel ashamed of the position of the presiding judge, thinking about it, he simply turned his heart sideways and shouted loudly, "Okay, this official has heard it clearly, Liu Wencai, you rely on an official skin to bully the good, forcibly take it, and force many lives to die, If this official doesn't treat you for the crime of murder for money today, God will feel that this official doesn't have long eyes, come and drag him down to this official."

"Wait." The elders didn't dare to delay any longer, so they stood up one after another and protested loudly, "My lord, Manager Zhu said that he wanted us to be a jury today." ”

"Yes, Lord Luo, we jurors still haven't gotten through it."

"Lord Luo, you can't go back on your word."

Although there was obvious tremor in the voice, none of the people were left behind, this case has nothing to do with justice, but about the rules in Yangzhou City in the future, they were all famous gentry in the past, and the people who complained were just a group of illiterate grass people, if a group of grass people were casually "climbed" the gentry's head, then the future will not be repaid.

"You guys." Hearing the protests of the jury, the anger on Robben's face was even stronger, it was obvious that many of these old men had hooked up with Liu Wencai, and they had made up their minds to shield him at this moment, however, if the plot of these old men succeeded, all the recent arrangements of General Manager Zhu would be in vain, not only would the Huai'an Army lose the hearts of the people, but the people who died unjustly would be difficult to see if there was a spirit under the spring.

Suddenly, remembering some of Zhu Eighty-one's advice before the trial, Robben, who joined the army, gritted his teeth and sneered, "In the cry of the bitter lord just now, many people were involved among you, according to the rules of my family's General Manager Zhu, all those involved must be avoided, now, please ask Mr. Liu, Mr. Wu, Mr. Ren, Mr. Qian, and Mr. Xu to step aside and give up the position of the jury to someone who has nothing to do with this case." ”

"Ahh The five elders who were named were slightly stunned at first, and then angrily shook their sleeves and left the table, I have seen a confused official, but I have never seen such a confused person as today, ruling the world with the scholars and doctors, it is the rule set by the grandfather of the Great Song Dynasty, although the Mongolians did not clearly announce that they would follow, in fact, what the government does can be separated from the support of local leaders, and today, the confused official surnamed Luo, but for a few illiterate buns, he offended a small half of the old man of Yangzhou City, he is trying to win the hearts of the people of President Zhu, It's still for Manager Zhu to make a feud with the locality.

"Please nominate five elders and elders to take their place." Robben, who joined the army, also knew that he might mess things up today, but he had to stand up, arch his hand to the people around him, and said loudly, "Please nominate five more people, and gather thirteen jurors to convict this surnamed Liu." ”

The crowd buzzed, the tide retreated, no one wanted to come out of this head, just now was expelled from the jury by Robben, who joined the army, in addition to the original big salt merchants, that is, jewelry, grain and big shipowners, and even the owner of the tooth shop, in other words, this is a group of energetic civil groups in Yangzhou City in the past, although the family property has also been robbed and burned by the rebels, but behind everyone, there is a network of relationships that ordinary people are difficult to compare, and they really offend them, and everyone will die in the future They don't know how to die.

"Please nominate five more people to come up, and there are thirteen jurors, it's getting late, we have to hurry." Seeing that the people below were slow to move, Robben, who joined the army, continued to urge with a pleasant face.

The crowd continued to retreat, the people, you look at me, I look at you, shaking their heads and sighing, they do want to seek justice for the sufferer, but they can't afford the consequences of offending the elders, as the saying goes, the officers and soldiers are water, and the gentry are stones, the water is violent, and the stones can be swallowed lightly, but after the water recedes, the stones still have to stay in place, and they still can't come out of the surrounding grass and trees.

"Come on, our brothers." Just when Robben felt embarrassed, Zhu Chongba took Tang He, Deng Yu, and Wu brothers to separate the crowd and strode forward, "Our brothers are not locals, and we have no interests in it, and we don't know the two parties. ”

"Okay." Robben, who joined the army, finally looked forward to a savior and nodded with satisfaction.

"But Zhu has a few words, don't vomit and be unhappy." Zhu Chongba continued to walk towards the jury seat, and shouted at all the people of Yangzhou: "You group of wrecks, Mr. Zhu gave you a chance to take revenge, you actually shrank back by yourself, what about your eggs, among the hundreds of thousands of you, there are still people who have no handles, you count on others for everything, what do you yourself eat, a group of sheep who kill meat and eat meat, you deserve to be bullied for a lifetime." ”

The people were scolded with sweat on their foreheads, red faces and red ears, and no one dared to open their mouths to refute, but Zhu Chongba was still not happy, turned his head, and continued to scold at the old man who had just left the jury bench, "And you, a person of five and six, pretend to be good-looking, what kind of bird thing, have the ability, have the ability The day Yangzhou was burned, I went desperately with the rebels, and I didn't want to think about how the jury position was sitting, and I actually opened a dyeing workshop with some color, this is so kind, why didn't you go to Zhang Mingjian's head in the first place, bastard." , all of them are so depressed that they are waiting for two bowls of porridge every day to hang their lives, and they haven't forgotten to bully their neighbors, you can read those sage books, you have read to the dog's stomach, the water can carry the boat and the boat can also overturn the boat, once the people are forced to rebel, just rely on your group of stinky fish and rotten shrimp, who can get good fruit to eat, you are not people who have not experienced things, as soon as the fire burns, who still thinks that you have more money and less money, and your face is not big enough, the same is to burn the family wealth cleanly, the same children and wives are separated, and the family is ruined. Who of you can guarantee that you will be able to escape next time. ”
