Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Unpeaceful County Town
I drank too much wine last night, my brain hurt all night, and the consequence of not sleeping all night is that when I get up in the morning, my whole brain seems to be a mess, and the whole person is also drowsy, and I have no energy at all. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
When Zhang Jie got up, he saw Li Hu waiting at the door, as well as those few catchers riding tall horses, Li Hu gently mentioned in Zhang Jie's ear, saying that these catchers were because they didn't worry about rushing at night last night, so they followed.
Zhang Jie naturally took a second look at these catches, and originally wanted to beckon them into the house to eat together, but he didn't want everyone to eat, so Zhang Jie didn't think much about it, he reflexively went to the hall alone, first washed up, and drank a bowl of soup, which was considered to warm his stomach.
I didn't have any appetite when I got up early in the morning, I ate a little casually, and I didn't care about dealing with my stomach, and when Zhang Jie got back into Li Hu's carriage, he hurried towards the county government under the escort of a few fast catchers.
I originally thought that today would be like the previous two days, and there was nothing to do, and I could sleep comfortably after entering the county office, but I didn't want to, just after entering the county office, there was a small history to tell Zhang Jie, saying that someone got up early in the morning to sound the drum.
This is the first time that Zhang Jie, the eldest man, has encountered a common man's grievances, so he naturally did not dare to slack off, and quickly sorted out the court clothes, and when Zhang Jie walked into the court in a stable manner, a group of officials naturally waited for a long time.
Sitting on the old man's exclusive chair, when he picked up the shocking wood and slapped it hard, the crisp 'pop' made Zhang Jie's heart beat a little faster unconsciously.
"Who is in the audience, and why is it wronged?" When he said this, Zhang Jie felt that his throat was a little dry, and he didn't know what he was nervous about, in short, when he saw the old peasant who was kneeling to him in the court, Zhang Jie's heart was beating very fast.
"Back to the eldest master, Meng Kui of Mengjia Village, the grass people, sued the neighbor Liu, this Liu killed her husband not to say, but also connived at her pigs to destroy the fields everywhere, a few acres of fertile land in the small people's house, and it was about to be harvested, but I didn't want to be harmed by the pigs of the Liu family overnight yesterday, the villain looked for her reasoning, I didn't want to think about Liu's spicy nature, I was unreasonable and didn't say anything, and I also dug up the villain's face, Xiaomin didn't want to see her as a woman, so I came to ask the big man to be the master of Xiaomin!"
When the old man in the court told the cause of the incident, Zhang Jie's heart, which was still pounding, slowly stabilized.
It is not a major matter of committing a traitor, nor has there been any murder and arson, it is a pig and a few acres of dealers, whether it is the pig or the few acres of dealers lost by the villagers in the audience, the total value is not more than a silver ingot, it is such a trivial matter, it has struck a shock, alarmed the lord.
"Is the Liu family who connived at the destruction of your fields by domestic animals?"
Since it is a case, and it is the first case he has accepted, even if it is just a trivial matter, Zhang Jie must definitely accept it well, carefully adjust, and strive to give both parties a satisfactory result.
"Back to the eldest lord, I asked her to come to the county government with me, but this Liu family knows that she is at a loss, but she is unwilling to come, then the Liu family is rude, and no one dares to do anything to her, otherwise, she will roll on the ground, looking for death and life, and others will not dare to care about her!"
No wonder there is only this old farmer in the audience, it turns out that the defendant did not come, naturally, although listening to the description of this old farmer, he is in charge of the matter, but Zhang Jie can't listen to his one-sided words, so he set the tone for this case, what the specific situation has not been investigated, at this time, it is natural to listen to what the Liu family is.
Naturally, this case could only be postponed for retrial, and then, Zhang Jie arranged a quick arrest and asked the people from the Yamen to go to Mengjia Village in person and bring the Liu family to the court.
finally came up with a case, but it turned out to be such a trivial matter, at this moment, Zhang Jie's original sense of distress was also diluted by the excitement just now, but now he is in good spirits, even if he wants to go back to sleep, he can't sleep.
After sitting in the house for a while, Zhang Jie, who had been bored in the county government for three days, didn't want to be so bored anymore, changed his court clothes, and greeted Li Hu, Zhang Jie took Li Hu out of the county office, and before he could take a few steps, Li Hu reminded Zhang Jie that Yang Zhutou was also far behind the two.
Zhang Jie didn't care about the people who followed him, and he was just wandering around the county at will, and he didn't do anything earth-shattering, since Yang Zhutou was willing to follow him, then let him follow him so far away.
Today is the market, so the whole county wants to buy something, or has extra items at home, wants to sell something, will come to the market to buy and sell, at this moment, the whole county is very crowded, full of people coming and going villagers.
Walking so casually, occasionally seeing some beautiful tricks or interesting objects, Zhang Jie had to stop for a while and watch with interest.
Unconsciously, when he came to the door of Baozhi Zhai, Zhang Jie found that this Baozhi Zhai was not far from the county government, which was a total of two steps away.
At this moment, Bao Zhi Zhai seems to be very leisurely, except for the occasional boy who goes in to grab medicine, he doesn't find any people with much disaster to go in.
Although this is not good for Bao Zhizhai's sound business, as a county magistrate, it is very gratifying to see such a scene.
I just glanced at the door with Li Hu, but I didn't want to be seen by the old doctor in the house, but I saw that the old man came out of the house.
Originally, Zhang Jie just glanced at it and didn't plan to go in, but the old doctor had already greeted him in person, so Zhang Jie naturally couldn't refuse, so he followed the old man into the house.
The young man in the store was very discerning, and as soon as he entered the house, he hurriedly moved a chair for Zhang Jie and poured tea.
After sitting down, after sighing slightly, Zhang Jie said: "I don't know how the old doctor Bao Zhizhai has been doing recently, but there are often people who are beaten to come to the store for treatment?" ”
Zhang Jie asked like this, naturally he was still thinking about those scoundrels who were active in the county and specialized in bullying the people, and last time he promised the old doctor that he must return the county seat to a bright future, but he didn't want to, he hadn't entered the county government yet, and the few arrested scoundrels had already been released, because Zhang Jie had just taken office, and there was no matter of the people complaining about the scoundrels in the past two days, and he was not in a hurry to deal with this matter for a while.
"The new official took office with three fires, when this group of people was arrested by the eldest lord before, the eldest lord had the intention of rectifying them, and I think there should be someone behind them to warn them, so during this time, the county town has rarely been quiet!"
Who knew that the old doctor's words had just fallen, and when he saw the door of Baozhi Zhai, a few panicked people suddenly broke in, and as soon as these people came in, they shouted: "The old doctor is here, and someone is dead!" The old doctor will take a look! ”
I was shocked, and when I turned my head, I saw several villagers carrying a man covered in blood into the house. (To be continued.) )
