Chapter 171: Hou Ye is my godfather
Pang Xiude has been a county lieutenant for so many years, and his majesty is still a little bit. His loud roar really shocked many people. is also reminding Chu Xuewen that the two of us are in the same camp.
Because things were done in a hurry, Pang Xiude didn't cooperate with Chu Xuewen in advance, so the two of them were not perfect at all. But as long as Pang Xiude insists on poisoning people, it is enough to make the hot pot restaurant close.
If it is placed in the future generations, this case is very simple to solve, find a forensic doctor to come over and do a technical evaluation, and all the results will come out. But in this era, the level of science and technology, forensic medicine must not have, only a work. But since Pang Xiude has done this, it means that he has already taken care of it. It is obviously impossible to find any evidence from this clue.
"My lord, where are the merchants? Why didn't I see it? After Li Mingyuan looked around, he found that he didn't see the businessmen who reported the case, and couldn't help but be curious.
"Uh, yes. Well, what about the plaintiff? Chu Xuewen also looked at it and found that the plaintiff was not present. I can't help but be a little anxious. This lawsuit is too funny. Throughout the ages, the lawsuit has only heard that the defendant did not come, and this plaintiff did not appear, and it is estimated that it is the first time.
Pang Xiude, who was on the side, knew that Li Mingyuan was in trouble today after seeing Li Mingyuan appear. But he was also mentally prepared. has secretly investigated Li Mingyuan for so long, of course he knows what this Four Seasons hot pot restaurant means to Li Mingyuan, it is definitely a cornucopia of daily progress, and no one will let go of it. What's more, there is a jade heart like a flower.
"My lord, the plaintiff went to buy a coffin for his companion's body. After all, a fresh human life is gone! Pang Xiude said with a sad face. It was as if the dead man were his son.
I have to say. Pang Xiude's words won the sympathy of many people present. Of course, everyone did not sympathize with him, but some sympathized with the hanged businessman. It's not over yet. Just hanging in a foreign land, no one at home is allowed to cry to death.
"Yes. Extenuating circumstances, extenuating circumstances! Chu Xuewen was also a little depressed in his heart, and at the same time a little nervous, how did this Pang Xiude arrange it, he wouldn't really kill someone, right?
When Li Mingyuan was about to speak, Pang Xiude directly interrupted, "Captain Li, dare to ask why you are so concerned about this case?" Of course, this is not asked for no reason. Dahua law clearly stipulates that officials cannot do business, so in a sense, Li Mingyuan is now committing a crime. But there is no evidence of Pang Xiude. So it can't cure him in this regard.
"Well, because, because my godfather ordered me to come!" At the most critical juncture, a very tall figure appeared in Li Mingyuan's mind, yes, it was Xiahou Yong. Li Mingyuan has not only heard the story of the fox and the fake tiger, but also used it flexibly.
"Huh? Captain Li, take the liberty of asking, who is your godfather? "Chu Xuewen has just been promoted for a day. It's completely black-eyed, of course, I don't know who the godfather in Li Mingyuan's mouth is.
"Back to my lord, my godfather is the hereditary replacement of Yumen Hou Xiahou Yongxia Hou Ye of the Holy Qinfeng, and the official worships the general. The commander of the Tiger Army! Li Mingyuan looked proud.
"Shhh Chu Xuewen couldn't help but take a breath, and looked at Li Mingyuan's eyes full of admiration. "Hehe, I can't imagine that Brother Li's family is so related!"
"Shhhh Brother Chu, low-key. Tune up, I don't tell him in general! Li Mingyuan looked mysterious. But Pang Xiude is ruthless to death, are you still low-key? You almost wrote seven words on your face: Xiahou Yong is my godfather!
"Huge man, what he said is true? Is Yumen Hou really his godfather? Chu Xuewen couldn't help but ask Pang Xiude next to him for confirmation.
"Seems to be!" Pang Xiude looked at Li Mingyuan with little confidence.
"What do you mean by yes? Yes yes, no, no, where does it come from? Chu Xuewen was inexplicably angry. I have studied hard in the past ten years, what will I do if I pass five levels and cut six? Isn't it just to mix up an official and a half-job, and glorify the ancestors? It's good now, I'm on King Ning's line, and I've offended the Marquis of Yumen. But the question is, Yumen Hou is the biggest boss in this land that he can manage, and he offended his son, do you still want to get ahead in this life?
I have to say that although it is a good thing to read a lot of books, sometimes it will make people think too much, such as the current Chu Xuewen.
"He is indeed the son of the Marquis of Yumen, but he is not his own son, he is a godson, a godson!" Pang Xiude saw Shangguan Tieqing's face, and also knew that something was wrong, so he hurriedly explained. But his explanation didn't have much effect, but made Chu Xuewen even more angry, "Why didn't you tell me in advance?" I knew that the official of the Dao would not be involved in this with you. What happened to the godson? Didn't you see Yumen Hou casually pull a cat and a dog as his godson? You're a veteran of officialdom, so you don't need me to teach you these truths, right? On the bottom side of Liangzhou, don't offend the Marquis of Yumen if you offend anyone! ”
Chu Xuewen was very unhappy, very unhappy. As the old saying goes, chivalry comes mostly from slaughtering dogs, and most of the negative hearts are readers. This is not false at all. Although Chu Xuewen said that he was grateful to King Ning for his support, but now he felt that he had today's status because of his own hard work. You King Ning just gave me some silver! When I become a great official, I will pay you back tenfold, twenty times. But if you're going to ask me to do something for you, put my own future into it, hehe, I'm sorry, it's impossible!
"Your Excellency, didn't you agree before? Besides, it's not a big deal, you don't have to worry about the pressure on the Yumen Marquis, there is the prince as our backer! Pang Xiude was afraid that Chu Xuewen would turn his face with him at this time, so he hurriedly comforted, but in exchange for only a cold snort from Chu Xuewen.
"My lord, what are you talking about to the huge people?" Li Mingyuan looked at the two of them muttering on it, and said impatiently.
"Hehe, it's nothing, the official is thinking, I want to go to the Hou Mansion to visit the Hou Ye for some time, and I have to ask him to take care of the old man in the future, take care of him!" Chu Xuewen wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.
The surrounding officials and onlookers couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, but they didn't expect that it looked like a righteous and righteous person, and a county order that was not afraid of power was nothing more than that.
"Yes, when the time comes, tell Xia Guang in advance, and I'll let my godfather leave you to eat at the house!" Li Mingyuan smiled.
"Then Xie Lu Xie Lieutenant Li!" Chu Xuewen said a little excitedly.
Pang Xiude on the side didn't know that Chu Xuewen had already retreated in his heart at this moment, so he continued to instigate the trial of Yuxin and the others. But because the plaintiff was not present, the parties began to make peace.
"My lord, the plaintiff is here!" Just as the two sides were facing each other, a government official came in to report.
As soon as he heard that the plaintiff was coming, Pang Xiude couldn't help but show a wicked smile, he had a lot of confidence in the characters he had found with a lot of money. At that moment, he did not hesitate to possess Chu Xuewen who was sitting and said, "My lord, my people are here, look at my eyes when the time comes!" Pang Xiude said this sentence excitedly, but it was not the same thing in the ears of Chu Xuewen, who was not in a good mood. I'm the county magistrate, why are you talking to me like that? And let me look at your eyes? It's too presumptuous! At that moment, Chu Xuewen didn't speak with a straight face, and looked at the lobby like an outsider.
Pang Xiude is waiting for the plaintiff, and Li Mingyuan is also waiting, and how this case will be finalized depends on whether it can open the door from the plaintiff.
"Caomin Ma Liu, Gao Dahai, Liu Qi, I have seen the Qingtian Lord!" The three plaintiffs seem to be the kind of lords who often litigate, and as soon as they come in, they don't say a word, and kowtow to Chu Xuewen first.
"Well, okay, get up and talk back!" Chu Xuewen has always been polite. The more respect others have for him, the happier he feels. The three of them came up and kowtowed to him, directly hitting him. Chu Xuewen, who was on the verge of an outbreak, felt a little better.
None of the three plaintiffs are locals, so no one knows them, and Li Mingyuan is no exception. But look at its appearance, words and deeds. It shouldn't be a big businessman, it's probably the most ordinary businessman.
"These three guys don't seem to have a problem!" Li Mingyuan looked at the backs of the three of them of different heights, and said to himself in his heart.
Chu Xuewen is trying the case for the first time, and many of the steps are not very familiar. According to the usual practice, when a new official takes office, he will invite a master. At the beginning, there will be a master next to remind you. But Chu Xuewen came in a hurry, so he didn't hire a master. Therefore, Pang Xiude was pulled into a strong man.
"My lord, at this time, you have to ask the plaintiff to hand over the complaint!" Pang Xiude reminded softly in his ear.
Chu Xuewen is a novice and doesn't know anything, so naturally he will do what Pang Xiude says. Immediately, he said, "Come on, hand over the plaintiff's complaint to this official!" ”
The three plaintiffs were also prepared, and as soon as Chu Xuewen's voice fell, he took out a neatly folded white paper from his arms, obviously this was the complaint they prepared. The official on the side took the complaint from Gao Dahai's hand and respectfully presented it, and the county government calmed down again.
The complaint was written by Pang Xiude himself, and in this era of lawsuits, the complaint is also an extremely important document, and there is no room for sloppiness. Pang Xiude is determined to rectify Li Mingyuan, so naturally he can't tolerate the slightest sloppiness, and those who can do it themselves do it themselves.
Chu Xuewen took the complaint and began to read it. Originally, he thought that the three businessmen would not come up with any good complaints. But I didn't expect to be a little surprised when I read the beginning, this complaint is written reasonably, and the handwriting is also vigorous. Although Chu Xuewen couldn't tell whose notes it was, it would definitely not be something that these three businessmen could do. The person who can write such a complaint is at least a literati who often fights lawsuits.
"My lord, this is written by the lower official!" Pang Xiude's words made Chu Xuewen lose interest all of a sudden! (To be continued......)
