Chapter 94, Liaodong Unjust Case
When I returned to Liaodong County with Feng Luoxue, I heard someone beating a drum and shouting grievances in the county, at this time, the chief governor hurriedly came over to ask for instructions: "My lord, the county guard, has not been in the county, this shouting of grievances once a day has made our county governance a laughing stock, why don't you go over and take a look?" ”
This ruler is called Wang Wu, and he is also a forty-year-old literati, very sleek, and his eyes are even faster at the moment, while watching Zu Zhao's face, he is thinking about how to get in touch with Zu Zhao.
Zu Zhao sneered, why didn't he care about such a thing? Do you want someone to break the earth-shattering drum for thunder?
"Let's go, let's see, who came here to cry out for grievances!" Zu Zhao walked into the county government and ordered the third class of officials to be promoted to the hall to ask about the case, and he heard an old man shouting wronged, and Lang Lang staggered in.
At this time, there was a group of people watching outside the door, and Feng Luoxue, who had just come back together, was also standing outside watching, seemingly very interested in Zu Zhao's case.
"Who are you? If you have any grievances, you can make it clear, I will try the case on behalf of the county magistrate, and I can make the decision for you! Zu Zhao spoke coldly, with a natural righteousness, at this moment the words made everyone feel a majesty, the old man below sorted out the robes that had been very defeated, wiped his tears and said: "The old man is wronged for my daughter, the old man Wang Shi is fifty years old this year, and he has a daughter, although my daughter Wang Chuchu does not say that the country is overwhelmed, but she is also beautiful like a flower, and there are many people who come to propose marriage, but I have always disagreed, because there is just a daughter, I want to recruit an honest and honest young man, But I didn't expect my daughter, on the fifteenth day of the first month to see the Lantern Festival, I met the county's Qinglou old owl Shui Sanniang, she really took a fancy to my daughter's appearance, and threw three copper plates to my daughter on the spot, claiming to buy her money, and let her go to the Qinglou of Shuiyue within three days! ”
The old man wiped his tears when he said this, and continued: "My daughter threw the three copper plates directly on the ground, and then returned home, three days later, disaster fell from the sky, and the water moon house actually sent someone to rob people directly, and snatched my daughter Wang Chuchu to the green building of the water moon house, since then the old man has never seen my daughter, and the old man went to the water moon house several times was beaten all over the body, this time the old man came to complain, and was beaten by the thugs of the water moon house at the door, if it wasn't for the general coming back, they were so scared that they didn't fight to death, Otherwise, the old man's life will be gone, and he begs the adults to call the shots! ”
When Zu Zhao heard this, he immediately understood where Shui Yue lived? It must be a local underworld gang, this Qinglou is also a very money-making place, and there are dragons and snakes in it, and there are all kinds of scum, but it is very rare to be so arrogant and directly rob a girl from a good family in a Qinglou, and Zu Zhao and Wan Side still cooperated in a Qinglou, everything in it is managed in accordance with Zu Zhao's instructions and humanization, and the most important thing is not to sell his body, and the people who go are literati and ink writers, and the high-end customers who talk and laugh and have no white dealings with Confucianism have never involved these messy things.
"Do you have a witness?" Zu Zhao still looked left and right, and he saw a pavilion chief on the side greeting him from a distance, as if he had something to say.
Zu Zhao beckoned the pavilion chief, and the pavilion strode over to Zu Zhao and said: "My lord, the small one is Wang Wu, the pavilion chief of Sanlipu, this old man is also the Diao people under my control, he came up to be tricky, he was despised, he bought his daughter Wang Chuchu to Qinglou last month, but Lai Qinglou did not give money, and now the contract is here, ...... you see, my lord" Wang Wu handed over the contract to Zu Zhao.
Zu Zhao looked at this contract, this is a contract made of bamboo, and the handwriting on it is not dry, is this to deceive him as a fool? There is a gold leaf on the last bamboo slip, Zu Zhao tried the gold leaf that is half a tael, and he couldn't help but feel funny, feeling that he, the adjutant, is worth this half tael of gold leaves in the eyes of these people?
"Come on, beat this pavilion chief to death for me! Because he bribed Shangguan, and he also deceived General Ben with a contract that he didn't do, and General Ben tried the case on behalf of the county magistrate, so he naturally enforced the law impartially! There will never be the slightest bit of favoritism! ”
Zu Zhao spoke coldly, full of murderous aura.
There was a reckless man next to him who grabbed this pavilion chief, as if carrying a chicken outside, and did it himself, the people of the five armies were already angry, and the onlookers were stunned, they couldn't imagine that this young man was so hard, and directly beat this pavilion chief to death.
"Tell my lord, the criminal of Wang Wu is already dead, his body is extremely weak, and his subordinates only beat him five times and he died!" Mangzi spoke angrily in an urn on the side, he was two meters three tall, standing extremely tall in the hall, and his hands were even more imaginary like pu fans, everyone looked at him and was shocked, thinking that this was not the reincarnation of a bad star?
Zu Zhao smiled slightly, he let this pavilion chief die just to let the people behind him know that he, Zu Zhao, is not so easy to fool, he actually took half a double gold leaf to fool him, could it be that he was playing with him as an idiot? And for such a thing as interceding, if you don't send a pavilion chief, how much face does your relationship have?
Then your face! Lao Tzu hit you in the face!
"Someone came and hung that Wang Wu on a high pole for me to show the public! Whoever commits adultery will be punished to death! Zu Zhao spoke at all.
"My lord, the Shuiyue Juqinglou is not small, it is the property of the Huang family, a wealthy businessman in this county, and the Huang family has a close relationship with the barbarians outside the Saiwai, and often trades various businesses with the barbarians outside the Saiwai, mainly doing wine and grain and even has a private salt business, and the most important thing is that he has two hundred family members at home, all of whom are good hands! In this Liaodong County, there is a rampant existence, adults still have to be careful! ”
The chief ruler next to him saw that Zu Zhao directly executed the pavilion chief, and he was terrified, after all, none of the yamen of Ziah Junzhi was clean, if it was found out by the adults, he would get up early and move his head, what he had to do at this moment was to get rid of the relationship with the Huang family, otherwise his life would be gone in the future.
But when I thought of offending the Huang family, the consequences were also very ugly, and I felt embarrassed for a while.
Zu Zhao looked at him coldly, and saw that his fat face was also full of sweat, but he still had a smile on his face, but the smile was extremely ugly, Zu Zhao snorted coldly, and then shouted: "Where are you going, Shui Yueju will invite me to bring that old Ou Shui Sanniang and the turtle to me, I want to see if this guy who dares to rob the door girl in broad daylight has three heads and six arms!" ”
After a while, I saw that Shui Sanniang and the glans were invited together.
As soon as Shui Sanniang entered the lobby, she saw the old man Wang, and gave him a slap in the face: "Slut, dare to sue the old lady?" The old lady's heel is a member of the Huang family, who dares not to sell me a share of face in this one-acre and three-point land, otherwise I will let him die without a place to be buried! Saying this, she glanced at Zu Zhao, this is a trick to kill a chicken and show it to a monkey, but she didn't distinguish the occasion, and actually looked at Zu Zhao as a monkey in the lobby, which is not small.
Zu Zhao was happy, and directly slapped his own shocking wood and said: "There is no official in the lobby, roaring in the court, someone will open her mouth and slap her ten times!" Come on, but don't kill you! Zu Zhao spoke.
Mangzi went up and grabbed Shui Sanniang's head, beat him with a bang, and slapped him ten times, Shui Sanniang has become a pig-headed figure.
"Shui Sanniang, are you pleading guilty to the law?" Zu Zhao spoke coldly.
At this moment, there is no certification, no physical evidence, but Zu Zhao wants such a punishment, either for anything else, or to see that there are those forces in Liaodong County who dare to scream in front of him, and he will get rid of all those who are screaming, because Liaodong County will be his place of dragon prosperity in the future, and there is no room for some miscellaneous forces to be entrenched here, and now these miscellaneous forces had better appear in front of him, and he also has an intuitive understanding.
"Hmph, you dare to interrogate me with a little hairy child? Waiting for the uncle of the Huang family to come back, I will let you kneel and beg me, otherwise your life will let you die three watches, you will have to die three watches, no one dares to do this to me on the ground of Liaodong County! ”
Zu Zhao was really happy, he wanted to see how capable this Huang family was, and then clapped his hands and said: "This person collided with the official, dragged out and hit the five military sticks as punishment, and then brought it back to continue to ask, Mangzi, you will personally carry it out!" ”
Mangzi took the willow wood military stick, and when he went down, he beat Shui Sanniang's fart and urine, and the three sticks went down and directly beat them into meat paste. He then threw himself out of the lobby.
The turtle man was so frightened that he was in a cold sweat, Zu Zhao smiled and beckoned to him and said, "Send Wang Chuchu to me within a quarter of an hour, otherwise I will copy the Huang family in a quarter of an hour, and let all the girls of the Huang family go to the Qinglou to buy it!" Get lost! ”
A quarter of an hour for a stick of incense!
Zu Zhao had already made people light incense, and the old man next to him was grateful to him, lying on the ground to practice kowtowing, Zu Zhao smiled, he had just arrived in Liaodong County, and he needed to kill someone to establish his prestige, but he didn't expect that there was a ready-made opportunity, he was really stupid every year, but today there are a lot of them.
Wang Chuchu brought, people are thinner than Huanghua, torture is not good, listening to the story that she is unwilling to pick up customers and is beaten every day, but she does not obey until death, and this is how she survives day by day, the old man hugged his daughter and howled.
Only after half a ring did he remember to salute Zu Zhao, Zu Zhao saw that Wang Chuchu was relatively bright-looking, with extraordinarily bright big eyes and an average figure, because the chest was an airfield, and it was an undeveloped virgin land.
"You guys are waiting here now, I'm sure someone will come over to explain soon, if no one comes to explain, I will demolish the green building after a stick of incense!" Zu Zhao smiled faintly.
"My lord, be careful of the Huang family, I heard that it is in collusion with the barbarians, and there are all kinds of outlaws!" That Wang Chuchu stepped forward and saluted, but it reminded Zu Zhao that there was no reason for any fear, and a pair of big eyes looked at Zu Zhao with watery eyes, as if his eyes could speak.
This is the second time Zu Zhao has heard that the Huang family and the barbarians colluded, and the Huang family is even doing the business of illegal salt, this kind of business is a big crime in Shatou, at the moment there is no evidence found, and the evidence is found and the Huang family is directly ended.
And a family like the Huang family, which is very closely linked to the barbarians, will never be left behind, because such a family is stained with blood in its hands, and has its own ambitions like the ancestral family.
"My lord, there is a letter from the Huang family outside, and after it is delivered, the housekeeper will leave directly!" A servant spoke, and Zu Zhao took the letter and opened it.
The tone is not small, and a smell of pretending to be forced comes to the face
"I think you are new to the house, for the mistakes you made, I can spare your life, but the capital crime can be avoided and it is difficult to escape, take out 100,000 taels of silver and send it to the Huang family tomorrow morning, and then kneel at the door of the Huang family for three days and three nights, the master will spare you if he is in a good mood, otherwise prepare the coffin himself!"
Zu Zhao looked at this letter and finally understood that he had met an ancestor who was pretending to be forced, or a complete fool.
"Someone came to seal the water moon for me, and there will be no such name as the water moon residence in Liaodong County in the future!"
