Chapter 238: I Am a Law-abiding Citizen
Just a few minutes ago, Song Zhixian was still eating and drinking in the mansion, receiving gifts, and happily waiting for his daughter-in-law to pass through the door and join forces with the richest man in Dangtu.
A few minutes later, he saw that his in-laws had been beaten to pig's heads, and the abuser wanted to sue his own daughter for violating the law.
Such a big contrast made this Song Zhixian like a roller coaster, and his mind couldn't turn for a long time.
"Why, isn't it possible that Lord Song wants to shield his acquaintances and doesn't want to uphold justice for me?" Shi Wei said unhappily.
Song Zhixian came back to his senses at this time, his expression was so embarrassed, but he still had to pretend to be calm, and arched his hand: "As a parent official, the lower official does everything as an official business, how dare he bend the law for personal gain." ”
Shi Wei was satisfied, nodded and smiled: "This is the best, then let's enter the yamen and pass the hall." ”
After that, Shi Wei took a big stride, as if entering his own door, and swaggered into the county office.
Those officials who were still fierce and vicious, seeing that their own magistrate was so polite to this young man, they all saw that this person was not small, and they were busy and frightened to retreat aside, not daring to look at each other.
That Song Zhixian didn't dare to be sloppy, so he ordered Huang Bai to be escorted in, and he followed him into the ya.
All the officials gathered, and this Song Zhixian smiled and invited Shi Wei to take a seat.
Shi Wei waved his hand and said: "This yamen is the territory of your Song Zhi County, I am just an ordinary person who came to shout grievances, how can I sit down." ”
After Song Zhixian excused himself several times, he hurriedly called Shi Wei to take a seat, and after settling down with Xiaoxiao, he dared to carefully sit in his county master's seat.
According to the usual practice, Song Zhixian should have knocked on the hall wood, but with Shi Wei here, he didn't dare to show prestige if he was given ten more dares.
As if tickling, he gently lifted the startling wood, and then shouted at Huang Bai, who was kneeling below: "Diao Min, you are guilty." ”
That Huang Baiyuan still thought that his in-laws, and would try his best to beg for mercy to excuse him, but now looking at Song Zhixian's formation, he looked righteous and awe-inspiring, as if he didn't know himself at all.
Huang Bai's heart was cold to the bottom all of a sudden, and he knelt there and didn't know what to do.
Shi Wei, who was sitting idly next to him, said: "I said Song Zhixian, don't you ask what the case is, just let Huang Bai confess?" What if I'm at fault in this case? ”
Song Zhixian hurriedly smiled and said: "Do you still need to ask, Lord Shi, where can you be wrong, it must be the fault of this cork." ”
Shi Wei shook his head and said: "Lord Song, you are not right, if you try the case like this and spread it, people will still think that I, Shi Wei, am a bully and protect you as an official, I don't want people to gossip." ”
Back then, in Dangtu's prison, Shi Wei didn't look at such an official face, but now it's good not to bump into it, even if he bumps into it, of course, he has to take revenge to his heart's content.
That Song Zhixian knew that Shi Wei was making fun of him, but the so-called official level crushed people to death, not to mention that Shi Wei was not as big as his official level.
With the identity of a celebrity like Shi Wei, after he returns to Beijing, he only needs to say a bad word about him to the Son of Heaven, not to mention that his official position is not guaranteed, but he is afraid that it will be a matter of minutes for his head to land.
Song Zhixian had no choice but to swallow his saliva, saying yes again and again, and asked about the cause and effect of the case with a smile.
Shi Wei told his master Du Zhong how to set up a marriage for him and the daughter of Huang Bai to Song Zhixian.
That Song Zhixian listened to it, and couldn't help but stare at the cork again and again, with a look of resentment.
Obviously, about the old things in this paragraph, this Song Zhixian has never heard Huang Bai talk about it, and now he blames this Huang Bai for causing him to be affected.
With a "snap" of the startled wood, Song Zhixian said sharply: "Bold Huangbai, since your daughter has a marriage contract first, why do you still deceive the official and deceive my son about the marriage?" ”
Huang Bai had no intention of justifying at the moment, so he had to bow his head and only confess.
Song Zhixian wished that he could end this embarrassing matter as soon as possible, so he immediately ordered the marriage contract to be withdrawn, and fined Huang Bai to compensate Shi Wei with 1,000 yuan.
1,000 yuan is already a lot of money for Huang Bai, who is a big man.
At this moment, Huang Bai felt as painful as having a piece of flesh stripped of his body, but he could only admit that he was unlucky, and he was busy admitting his guilt and voluntarily losing money.
Song Zhixian was afraid that his in-laws would not be interested, and when he saw him confess, he was secretly relieved, and immediately announced the closure of the case.
"Wait!" At the last moment, Shi Wei interrupted.
"What else does Lord Shi command?" Song Zhixian asked uneasily.
Shi Wei stood up, his expression became solemn, "When I was in the private interview of Weifu in Quarry Town, I heard that many people complained that this cork was rampant, oppressed the people, and used all kinds of illegal means to accumulate money, if it is really true, how can you sentence him so lightly in Song Zhixian." ”
After watching the show, Shi Wei made a ruthless move.
When dealing with enemies, Shi Wei has always pursued that he cannot be soft.
Huang Bai not only offended himself, but also a complete evil person, Shi Wei decided to take revenge for the people, by the way, for the people, which can be regarded as accumulating a merit.
That Huang Bai and Song Zhixian were taken aback at the same time.
The two of them, Shi Wei, did this just to vent their anger or covet some filial piety money, but they never expected that Shi Wei actually wanted to kill Huang Bai.
The Huang Bai was frightened, and hurriedly fell to the ground and howled: "The little wrongs, those are all those who deliberately slandered and framed the small ones, please Lord Shi Mingjian." ”
Song Zhixian also stepped down the stairs, and said with a smile: "Although Huang Bai is a little at fault, he is a big local taxpayer, and he always actively donates whenever the government has something to do. ”
Syllable!
Shi Wei took the case and said sharply: "That Huang Bai is bullying people on the street, but this official saw it with his own eyes, Song Zhixian, could it be that you want to openly shield such a bully because you are friendly with him?" ”
When Shi Wei was not angry, he had already panicked the surnamed Song, and when he lost his temper, he was so shocked that he didn't even dare to take a breath.
Frightened, Song Zhixian was anxious to the end, and said in a trembling voice: "The adults are angry, the lower officials will never dare to show favoritism, and please calm the anger." ”
Shi Wei was a little powerful, and immediately regained his indifference.
He sat down again and said with a smile: "It's good that Song Zhixian doesn't bend the law for personal gain, then I'll see what you do with this cork." ”
Song Zhixian breathed a sigh of relief, but found that his back was already wet.
He shuddered and returned to his seat, patted him again, and shouted: "Come on, put the bully Huang Bai in prison, and wait for the county to find out the evidence of his oppression of the people, and then send it out." ”
The left and right officials hesitated for a moment, and did not dare to make a move for a while.
Song Zhixian was afraid that Shi Wei would be angry, so he hurriedly shouted: "Are you all deaf, this county asked you to put him in prison, don't you do it quickly!" ”
The officials did not dare to hesitate any longer, and swarmed up in a swarm, erecting the blue nose and swollen cork and going to the prison.
"Small wrongs, small wrongs......"
The crying voice gradually faded away, and in the Yamen of Nuoda, the local officials of Dangtu, including Song Zhixian, were all frightened, and they didn't even dare to make a sound.
Which person here has confiscated the benefits of Huang Bai, and now that Huang Bai is in prison, who will not feel weak, for fear that if this Lord Shi investigates deeply, maybe it will be his turn to be unlucky.
After Song Zhixian put Huang Bai in prison, he hurriedly went down the stairs again, and arched his hand: "Lord Shi, the lower officials dealt with the bully surnamed Huang like this, are you still satisfied?" ”
Shi Wei immediately looked displeased again, "Song Zhixian, I don't like to hear what you say, what do you mean I'm dissatisfied?" I am also asking for the people's lives and doing things according to the law, are you sarcastic about the personal vendetta of the official communiqué? ”
"How dare the lower officials, how dare the lower officials." Song Zhixian was so frightened that he trembled again.
Shi Wei was satisfied, got up and wanted to leave, but when he was leaving, he suddenly remembered something, and said: "Lord Song, you have to deal with this case impartially, when Tu is my hometown, I don't want the villagers to continue to suffer from the scourge of that bully, do you understand?" ”
Shi Wei had already made his meaning half-clear, he didn't plan to give that cork a way out.
Song Zhixian's heart trembled when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, my lord, the lower officials will remember the teachings of the adults, and they will definitely judge the case impartially and give an explanation to the people of a county." ”
Shi Wei nodded, patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Very good, it is really a blessing for the people of Tu to have a fair and honest parent official like you." I'll take my leave first, so I won't bother you with the case. ”
With a relieved smile, Shi Wei took Xiong Qingye and other tigers and bears away.
That Song Zhixian was like a pug, and Baba followed behind, respectfully sending Shi Wei away.
It wasn't until Shi Wei's figure disappeared from the corner of the street that Song Zhixian let out a long breath, and his body was unsteady on his feet as if he had collapsed.
Seeing this, the officials on the left and right hurriedly stepped forward to help each other, and Song Zhixian did not fall to the ground and make a fool of himself.
Everyone helped Song Zhixian back to the yamen, and the master brought the tea and asked cautiously: "My lord, what is the origin of this Lord Shi, how can the adult be afraid of being like this." ”
Song Zhixian said with palpitations: "You don't know how powerful this person is, when he was still in the Southern Tang Dynasty, I heard that he had an affair with Empress Li's Xiao Zhouhou, but Empress Li couldn't bear him, and now he is even more trusted by the Son of Heaven, I heard that he even dared to offend the original King of Jin, such a person, can I not be afraid of Lao Tzu." ”
It wasn't until this time that everyone really knew how powerful Shi Wei was, and they were embarrassed to hear it one by one.
The master said again: "Then according to this case, this Lord Shi really can't afford to offend, but my lord, do you really have to deal with that Master Huang, you must know that Master Huang and you have been brothers for many years." ”
Song Zhixian sighed helplessly: "If it is really a last resort, how can Lao Tzu care about any brotherly friendship, and he can only abandon the car to protect the handsome and sacrifice him." ”
Everyone was silent all of a sudden, as if they were also "cars", and they might be abandoned by their county lord at any time.
Song Zhixian scratched his scalp and muttered: "But before that, I still have to think of a way, just because of the so-called wine and wealth, I don't believe that Lord Shi can really be unmoved......
