Under a long series of mighty voices, the magistrate wearing an official robe and a black gauze hat walked out of the inner hall......

On the side of the magistrate, followed by a middle-aged man dressed as a master, the man was wearing a bowled octagonal hat on his head, a piece of green jade in front of the hat, wearing a light ink-colored robe, the robe was embroidered with a lot, silver flowers and clouds, the master's face was thin, very narrow and long, and there were two strands of mustache on his mouth, just like a comma in punctuation.

The master held a folding fan in his hand, and after the county magistrate sat down, he stood at his side, and his fingers touched the two strands of comma Xiaohu habitually.

At this time, Jiang Lang, the first catcher of Xiangle County, stood on the right side of the long table of the county magistrate, holding a sword in his right hand and carrying his back in his left hand, with a calm face, Lu Shaoqun looked at Yue Kang and the others with a silver smile on his face.

I saw Yuan Zhongsheng, the magistrate of the county, reaching out and grabbing the ruler wood on the table, slapping it heavily on the long table, making a snapping sound, and said confidently: "Who is in the hall, why don't you kneel when you see this official?" ”

After speaking, his eyes patrolled Yue Kang and the others.

"Why do we kneel when we are innocent?" Yue Kang said sonorously.

"Bold, when you see the magistrate, you must kneel and salute, don't you know such rules." The master shouted.

At this time, the catchers on both sides also cooperated to knock on the cane, so that the mighty word that made the egg hurt shouted again.

After the shouting stopped, Yue Kang said: "I kneel to heaven and earth, kneel to my parents and teachers, there is gold under the knees of men, why do you kneel?" ”

"The bold fanatics are a faction, and the magistrate is the official of the people's parents, why can't he be worshiped by you?" The master said categorically.

"Don't ask about arresting people indiscriminately, what kind of parent official is this? What is the explanation for me being arrested in an unknown way? Yue Kang said loudly.

Cowherd and others also echoed loudly.

"Okay, you're articulate, if you don't kneel, the official is not stronger than you, where is the plaintiff?" Yuan Zhongsheng sneered in his heart, I will condemn you and make you look good.

"The grass people are here, Lord Qingtian, you have to be the master of the grass people!" Ren Changqing shouted with a crying voice, he wouldn't believe that there was no gold under the man's knees, he knelt on the ground with a pop, tears were falling down, and the acting was performed to the extreme, as if he was really a common man who had been greatly wronged.

It's hard to imagine that Boss Ren, who is on an equal footing with the magistrate and called him a brother, really knelt on the ground, crying a handful of snot and tears.

"If you have any grievances, say it quickly, and this official will definitely make decisions for you." Yuan Zhongsheng put on an official prestigiousness, since he has to act more realistically!

After that, Ren Changqing repeated what he said to Lu Shaoqun at the door of Bai's house, which was simply made up, which made Yue Kang and the others very angry after hearing it.

The cowherd was so angry that he wanted to stab Ren Changqing.

"Ren Changqing is in front of the magistrate, you still dare to make nonsense." Bai Miaoyun reprimanded.

"O this man! Kneeling and talking nonsense just doesn't hurt your back, why don't you say that I'm waiting to destroy your house? "Master Tong felt funny.

Not only Yue Kang and the others were angry, but Yuan Zhongsheng, the magistrate of the county, was also angry, and shouted loudly: "You dare Huang Tianhua to break into the Ren Mansion, not only looting money, but also killing people, who gave you such courage, now I have to bring you to justice, let you know that Lang Lang Qiankun still has the king's law." ”

It's a corrupt official.

"My lord, I have something to say." Bai Miaoyun stood up and said, her willow eyebrows raised, and she looked coldly at Yuan Zhongsheng, the magistrate.

"What do you have to say?" Yuan Zhongsheng said.

"What I want to say, the whole thing was provoked by Ren Changqing first, not only found someone to smash our kiln, but also arrested my uncle, please look at the injuries on my uncle's body, all caused by Ren Changqing, my family produced colored porcelain, and the business of selling it, Ren Changqing looked red, and after arresting my uncle, he forced him to tell the formula of colored porcelain."

Bai Miaoyun was stunned and continued: "My uncle didn't obey him, so he tortured my uncle, and the injuries on my uncle's body are the best evidence. ”

"It's true that we went to the Ren family to ask for someone, but we didn't do what he said, we just wanted someone, he didn't let him, and he specially invited the Black Wind Gang to deal with us, the two sides started to fight, it was he Ren Changqing who shouted on the side, let the people of the Black Wind Gang kill the killer, and the government will not pay attention to the matter today, you ask him if he is or not."

"We also fought against the Black Wind Gang out of self-preservation, and in the end the Black Wind Gang was defeated, after we won, we chased Ren Changqing who fled in the wilderness, and when we arrived in the backyard of his house, he actually took out the forbidden Eight Bull Crossbow in the army, and the adults also knew that the Eight Bull Crossbow was privately hidden, which was a capital crime."

"My Bai family's guards and the people of the Broadsword Gang can all testify, what I just said."

Bai Miaoyun talked eloquently and told the truth about the situation. In his heart, he still has a little thought that he believes that Yuan Zhongsheng, the county magistrate, is iron-faced and selfless.

Yue Kang shook his head, the other party made his attitude clear, favoring Ren Changqing, Yue Kang knew that it was useless to say anything now, unless he came up with evidence, but if he came up with evidence, he would not be able to manage things, and maybe the county would have other words.

"My lord, he is spewing blood, how can the grass people hide the Eight Ox Crossbow privately, my lord, ......" Ren Changqing defended himself.

Yuan Zhongsheng waved his hand to signal Ren Changqing not to speak, and cast a comforting look at the other party, as if to say that everything has me.

"Oh? You said that he secretly hid the Eight Ox Crossbow, but there is evidence, now in the Yamen, if you lie, I will definitely punish you for the crime of bullying officials, and then don't blame me for not looking at the face of your Bai family ancestors. Yuan Zhongsheng said.

"I have witnesses." Bai Miaoyun said.

"Witnesses?" Yuan Zhongsheng frowned and asked, "Where is the witness?" ”

Bai Miaoyun gave Xiaoshun a look, and the latter understood, walked to the door and shouted, "Bring Hu Guoliang over." "Hu Guoliang has been locked up in the Bai family, and Yue Kang knows that Hu Guoliang can't be released if the Ren family's affairs are not resolved.

Hu Guoliang is the most favorable evidence in this matter, because he knows everything Ren Changqing has done and has participated in it.

When he came just now, Yue Kang told the old lady to escort Hu Guoliang over, and Yue Kang knew that at this time, Hu Guoliang was the most useful time.

Hu Guoliang was escorted up with weak legs, and he was locked up in the Bai family, and the Bai family did not embarrass him, regardless of his eating and drinking, he was not allowed to leave.

"Report your name." Yuan Zhongsheng said to Hu Guoliang, who had just walked in and his legs were still trembling.

"Small, Hu Guoliang see the adult." Hu Guoliang stammered a little when he spoke, his legs were weak and knelt on the ground, Hu Guoliang was not as strong as Ren Changqing's family background, and he did not have a hard backstage like Ren Changqing, so Zhixian still had a high status in his heart.

"Just now he said that you can testify that Ren Changqing secretly hid the Eight Bull Crossbow, but with this matter, rest assured that this official is in charge for you, you tell the truth, if there is half a lie, hum..." Yuan Zhongsheng's eyes narrowed, and there was a slight threat in his words.
