Chapter Twenty-Six: A Strange Situation
"My lord, who will you hit?" The thirty-year-old official didn't understand what Li Yuntian meant, glanced at the people who had complained about the grievances, Scarface and others, and asked for instructions in a deep voice. Reading artifact
"Who made Madame angry just now?" Li Yuntian frowned slightly, glanced at the thirty-year-old official with some dissatisfaction, and asked slowly.
"The little one understands." The thirty-year-old official suddenly understood, and as soon as he waved to the big man standing at the door, he pressed Scarface and the others to the ground.
Where does Scarface dare to resist, Li Yuntian is the respect of a county, and beating him is also a vain beating.
Chen Ningning's cheeks couldn't help but flush, she didn't expect Li Yuntian to protect her so much in front of the public, she was both happy and shy, she vaguely felt that her love just now seemed to be a little too excited.
Soon, Luo Ming led a group of servants with water and fire sticks to rush over from the courtyard, crackling and beating Scarface and the others' boards.
Scarface is a bully in Whitewater Town, who usually does a lot of bullying men and women, and when he saw him beaten, the people around him looked excited, and secretly applauded, and he was quite relieved.
"My lord, if you don't have other orders, the little one will step aside." After finishing the board, Scarface stood up with his buttocks covered and said to Li Yuntian with a smile on his face.
The feudal society is strictly hierarchical, Li Yuntian is the dignified respect of a county, how dare he worry about Li Yuntian, even if he is dissatisfied, then he does not dare to express himself.
Li Yuntian didn't say anything when he heard this, he waved his hand impatiently, and Scarface limped to lead his subordinates, and left in disgrace amid the laughter of the people.
"Who is here to complain?" Then, Li Yuntian glanced at those people who wore linen and filial piety, and asked quietly.
"Master Qiyu, the little Boss Feng, for his younger brother Feng Laosan and nephew Feng Tian." The old man hurriedly knelt in front of Li Yuntian with his posture.
"You should know that for the case that has been adjudicated, whether it is justified or not, you will be punished with 30 rods." Li Yuntian looked at the old man and said in a deep voice, "This official sees that you are over half a hundred years old, why bother to suffer this crime again, it is better to accept the situation and leave." ”
"Madame, let's go back." As he spoke, Li Yuntian turned his head to Chen Ningning on the side and said, making a gesture to leave.
"Master County, Xiao's mind has been decided, and he has decided to seek justice for my hard-working brother and nephew." Boss Feng said loudly when he heard this, "Please let the county lord do it." ”
The men and women standing behind Boss Feng saw this and knelt down, and the scene was suddenly silent.
"In that case, then the county will take your case." Li Yuntian's brows furrowed slightly, and he nodded to Luo Ming on the side.
Luo Ming immediately walked over and took the form from Boss Feng's hand, and then waved his hand to the officials on the side, and immediately several officials came over and pressed Boss Feng to the ground.
"Master, can't you open the net?" Seeing this, Chen Ningning couldn't bear it, and hesitated for a moment and said to Li Yuntian.
"The law is like this, and the master is helpless." Li Yuntian shook his head when he heard this, if he didn't fight, it would be his dereliction of duty.
Chen Ningning's eyes flashed with a gloomy look, she knew that Li Yuntian was acting according to the rules, but she really didn't want to see Boss Feng suffer from that flesh and skin at such an age.
The two officials who were executing looked at Luo Ming's feet after taking their seats next to Boss Feng, and Luo Ming was standing there, his toes spread outward.
The officials in the yamen are also famous in the board, and the real beating, fake beating, light beating and heavy beating all depend on the indication of the head of the standing class, which is also a way for them to make money.
If the head of the squad stands on their toes outward, then this is a light beating, and the subordinates must be merciful; If the head of the standing shift stands on his toes downward, this is a heavy blow, and he must be ruthless; If the head and toe of the standing shift are parallel, it is to fight as usual, and whether the injury is serious or not depends on luck.
Luo Ming saw that Chen Ningning sympathized with Boss Feng, so naturally he would not let those two officials be heavy-handed.
"Wait, this county remembers that you were innocently beaten just now, and you have injuries on your body, hereby open the net, fold the board in half first, and then make up the remaining fifteen boards after the county finds out the facts of the case." The two officials were just about to start fighting, but Li Yuntian suddenly stopped them and said in a deep voice.
As the saying goes, rules are dead, people are alive, how to use it is naturally Li Yuntian, the county magistrate, who said it, and he did not violate the criminal law of the Ming Dynasty by doing so.
Chen Ningning was suddenly overjoyed in her heart, and looked at Li Yuntian quite excitedly, she didn't expect Li Yuntian to be so flexible, so that Boss Feng would suffer a lot less.
Li Yuntian smiled at Chen Ningning, he did not do this to please Chen Ningning, but to show his doting on Chen Ningning to the outside world, like the outside world showing the image of "strict wife", so that it would be easy to take the case.
If he didn't guess wrong, this case is related to Zhang Youde's people, and I am afraid that the only one who can form such a deep hatred in Hukou County is Zhang Youde's side.
He doesn't want to move Zhang Youde now, because the time has not yet come, so as not to alarm this guy, but if Chen Ningning insists on investigating this case, then he has a reason to take over this case, and Zhang Youde can only consider himself unlucky.
To tell the truth, Li Yuntian thinks that Chen Ningning is very smart, although he is a little anxious now, and the city government is not deep, but if he has been trained, he should be a virtuous helper who can help him deal with a lot of things.
On the boat on Poyang Lake a year ago, Chen Ningning apologized to Li Yuntian on behalf of Chen Bozhao, saying that if Chen Bozhao hadn't left him in Chen's mansion, then Baishui Town would not have attracted Wang San and other water bandits, vaguely pointing the finger at Zhang Youde.
Li Yuntian thought that Chen Bozhao asked Chen Ningning to say it, but last night from Chen Bozhao's reaction, he found that he had guessed wrong, Chen Bozhao didn't know about this matter, so Chen Ningning guessed it himself, and it is rare for someone to have this amazing insight and analytical ability.
Therefore, Li Yuntian had an idea, that is, to train Chen Ningning step by step as his assistant, can anyone be more trustworthy than his wife?
After Boss Feng finished the board, Li Yuntian took it from Luo Ming's hand, opened it and looked at it, and the corners of his mouth immediately revealed a smile that was not perceptible.
He recognized the words on the pleadings, which were the same as those given to him by Liu Bo, and were written by the same lawyer.
The structure of the case is very clear, Li Yuntian will know what is going on after reading it, the matter is very simple, two years ago, Feng Laosan had a dispute with his neighbors because of the homestead, and the two sides fought hard, and as a result, he was arrested and taken to the prison of the county government.
Originally, this was not a big deal, and the family also carried out a check, and was released after a few days in prison, but later a shocking news came from the prison, saying that Feng Laosan and Feng Tian were injured by the jailer when they were brought to interrogation at night and escaped, and Feng Laosan was killed by the pursuing jailer on the spot on the way to escape, but Feng Tian escaped under the cover of night and disappeared.
As for why the two of them ran away, according to the county government torture room, someone reported that the two had colluded with the water bandits, which was a crime of killing their heads, so the two of them jumped over the wall in a hurry and did this kind of thing.
Due to the testimony of the injured jailer and the fact that Feng Tian had indeed escaped, the county magistrate at that time punished the two as gangsters and issued a wanted warrant for Feng Tian, but Feng Tian was never arrested.
The people of the Feng family naturally did not believe that Feng Laosan and Feng Tian were water bandits, and suspected that the two were framed, so they reported to the county government, but because there was no evidence or physical evidence, they were blown away by the county order.
Because Feng Laosan and Feng Tian were charged with banditry, the Feng family was under tremendous pressure, and they were pointed at by the villagers, and they couldn't raise their heads at all, and they always felt inferior, so they came to complain, wanting to return Feng Laosan and Feng Tian to a clean slate and restore the reputation of the Feng family.
"You have no evidence or certificate, how can this official investigate this case?" After reading the case, Li Yuntian frowned and looked at Boss Feng, since the Feng family did not present strong evidence, he could completely not accept the case.
"Lord County, my third brother and nephew are honest farmers, it is impossible to collude with the water bandits, they must have been killed." Boss Feng lay on the ground and defended loudly, although those servants were beaten lightly, but the pain of skin and flesh was definitely inevitable, and he couldn't kneel, so he could only lie on his stomach.
"Based on your words alone, how can the master make decisions for you?" Li Yuntian shook his head when he heard this, and threw the form in front of Boss Feng, he now finally knew who this form was aimed at.
If Feng Laosan and Feng Tian were really framed, then the officials of the county government wing at that time were definitely involved, otherwise they would not be able to do this matter.
The official of the torture room back then was the current canonical history Lu Yunshan, once the case was investigated, then Lu Yunshan would definitely be implicated.
Different from Zhang Youde's ordinary subordinates, Lu Yunshan and Feng Hu are Zhang Youde's right-hand men, if they can take the opportunity to eradicate Lu Yunshan, then Zhang Youde will be hit hard, and those officials of the county government will also be shaken by this, which is a great thing for Li Yuntian, and it has invisibly played a role in knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger.
But the problem is that he doesn't have a clue about the information on the form, and he has nowhere to start even if he wants to check it.
However, if this statement was written by Yang Yungui, then Yang Yungui would definitely not write this kind of impossible to accept for no reason for Boss Feng to cry out for injustice, does he have any backhand, but it is inconvenient to disclose it to the outside world now?
"Lord County, please be the master of us." Boss Feng knew that he was wronged, but he had no other way but to find Li Yuntian to sue him, find out the truth and return Feng Laosan and Feng Tian to innocence, otherwise the Feng family would be looked down upon for the rest of their lives.
"Let's go, when you're well, you'll go to the county government to get the remaining fifteen boards." Li Yuntian waved his hand to Boss Feng, turned around and walked into the courtyard.
Chen Ningning glanced at Boss Feng sympathetically, and reluctantly followed Li Yuntian away, although she wanted to help Boss Feng, but there was no way to help him, she couldn't let Li Yuntian take over this case without the slightest clue, that would be to make trouble for Li Yuntian.
"You have people arrest the person who wrote the letter to Boss Feng and throw him into prison, but don't touch him for the time being." On the way back to his residence, Li Yuntian groaned for a while, and summoned Luo Ming, who was following behind him, to order.
