Chapter 42 [Into the Masses] (I)
The fat man was overjoyed, and respectfully kowtowed to Xu Qinglian: "Lord Qingtian, the younger one is called Jia Dewang, who lives in Nanmen Village, Shilipo, has an eighty-year-old mother, and a pair of children in swaddling clothes waiting to be fed. ”
Xu Qinglian raised the shocking wood in his hand! hit again: "Boldly Diao Min, you dare to deceive the official, look at your appearance, but at the age of twenty-seven or eighteen, how can there be an eighty-year-old mother?" How can two children be infants at the same time? Are you really easy to be deceived when you are an official? "It's really rare for a woman to have a child in her fifties.
Jia Dewang screamed: "My lord, I am wronged, the small sentence is true." My mother was fifty-three years old and gave birth to me, I have seven brothers and sisters, but unfortunately they all died halfway, my children are dragon and phoenix fetuses, so they are all in swaddling clothes, the small family road is in the middle, the family is difficult, it is really hard! He had a point.
Xu Qinglian snorted and said, "Just dare you to say that you gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus?" Come on, drag down the twenty boards! "Ordinary people don't dare to say it in public when they give birth to dragon and phoenix fetuses, who dares to use the word dragon and phoenix lightly, this Jia Dewang has unintentionally committed a taboo and deserves to be beaten.
A group of servants rushed up like wolves, pushed Jia Dewang to the ground, dragged his legs out, but the poor thing didn't even say the reason for today's incident, so he was dragged down and beaten twenty boards.
Murong Feiyan frowned, and whispered in Hu Xiaotian's ear: "It's black enough!" ”
Hu Xiaotian smiled indifferently, in fact, he still didn't understand what happened, why the fat man and the thin man came to fight a lawsuit. Judging from the current situation, this Xu Qinglian should be a cool official,
When the thin man saw the fat man being beaten, his face showed fear, and when Xu Qinglian's eyes looked at him, the guy blinked his eyes and shivered.
Xu Qinglian smiled, it's good that he doesn't laugh, this smile is creepy. Xu Qinglian said: "You say you are a bitter master? Where does suffering come from? ”
The thin man was stunned for a moment: "Adult, the little Jia Liu, the Monkey Mountain Nest family in Lushui Town, Qingyun County, lives by shepherding sheep, this goat is mine, and after it was lost, it was hidden by the surnamed Jia, fortunately it was ...... by me So ......"
Xu Qinglian said: "You said the goat is yours?" Is there any evidence? ”
Jia Liu bit his lip and said, "I can raise goats, I naturally recognize them." ”
Xu Qinglian said: "Does it recognize you?" ”
Jia Liu nodded.
Xu Qinglian said: "Okay, bring the goat up, can you call it to see if it agrees?" ”
Jia Liu was completely stunned, at this time, the fat man Jia Dewang was dragged back to the court after being beaten by 20 boards, this thing couldn't even stand up at this time, lying on the ground and wailing, his mouth was no longer wronged, he kept calling the dog official, and this time he suddenly touched Xu Qinglian's scales.
Xu Qinglian raised his surprise and snapped again! and said loudly: "Drag it out ......"
At this time, Master Xing Shan hurriedly walked up and said something in Xu Qinglian's ear, he was afraid that Xu Qinglian would die. After Xu Qinglian heard what he said, he really changed his mind, and said coldly: "Boldly Diao the people, roaring at the court, insulting the court officials, you should have been killed on the spot, but this official remembered that you were a first offender, so he specially opened the net, came to someone, and temporarily imprisoned Jia Dewang, so that he could reflect on it." The officials on both sides rushed up, grabbed Jia Dewang, dragged him out again, and escorted him directly into the cell.
Jia Dewang seemed to be wilting at this moment, and he didn't dare to scold Xu Qinglian anymore, but just blindly shouted wronged.
Jia Liu's face turned white with fright at this moment, and when Xu Qinglian looked at him again, this thing was so frightened that he sneezed twice in succession, and fear can also make people allergic.
The goat has been led to the court by the officials, and Xu Qinglian said: "This goat has come, can you call it to see if it agrees?" ”
Jia Liu grimaced, shook his head vigorously and said, "My lord, I won't sue!" Everyone understands how this goat can understand people's speech, and Jia Liu's decision not to tell is a wise move, but unfortunately it is too late.
Xu Qinglian said: "You won't sue? That means the sheep is Jadwang's? ”
Jia Liu shook his head and said, "It's not his!" ”
"That's yours?"
The thin man swallowed his saliva, where did he dare to admit it at this time, he lay on the ground and kowtowed three times in a row: "Adult, the little one is wrong, and the little one is not sued." ”
Xu Qinglian sneered: "You two Diao Min, at first glance, are traitors and criminals, a goat stolen from nowhere, because of the uneven distribution of spoils, there are disputes, you actually dare to come here to reason, hehe, do you think the official is confused?" He grabbed the startling wood and fell, this action has become a habit, Xu Qinglian said: "Come on, heavy responsibility for ten boards, a fine of five taels of silver, blast me out, goats to collect the public!" A final conclusion will be made after the official finds out the truth. ”
Hu Xiaotian saw that he could understand it now, the real purpose of this Xu Qinglian was this goat, he was not afraid of thieves stealing, he was afraid of thieves, and there would definitely be no good thing for this guy to remember.
The thin man was also beaten with ten boards, and finally fined ten taels of silver, and was thrown out of the court.
This group of people watching the excitement stared at each other with big eyes, although they were unhappy in their hearts, but no one dared to speak more, and after the case was over, the officials invited the onlookers out of the county government, and the lawsuit was over.
Hu Xiaotian and the three of them went out with the crowd, originally he wanted to take the opportunity to meet Xu Qinglian, but after seeing the whole process of this trial, he immediately dispelled his thoughts, this is a dog official at all! After beating the defendant and beating the plaintiff, and finally confiscating even the evidence, he was really insatiable and shameless.
After the people left the county office, they all scolded in a low voice.
Hu Xiaotian saw a middle-aged man looking excited, so he walked over and took the initiative to say: "This big brother, how can I see this case in a daze!" ”
The middle-aged man said: "What's there to be confused about, our Lord Xu is worried about that goat, the bitter master will eat it, the defendant will also eat it, and he will eat the goat too!" He will eat the silver! After finishing speaking, he saw an unfamiliar face in front of him, and he sighed and said: "Little brother, listen to your accent is a foreigner, do you know that few people in our Qingyun County have taken the initiative to go to the lawsuit, because everyone understands that whether you have a reason or not, as long as you walk into this eight-character yamen, hehe...... Not only will he be beaten by the board, but he will also have to pay the silver......" Speaking of this, he felt that he had talked a little too much, so he smiled and said: "It's better to talk less about the affairs of the government." ”
At this time, the two officials threw Jia Liu, who had been beaten ten boards, out of the gate of the county ya, and then closed the gate of the county ya. Seeing Jia Liu lying on the ground for a long time without moving, although there were many onlookers, no one took the initiative to help him. In the end, Jia Liu stood up by himself, holding the wall with one hand, covering his ass with the other, and left the county government with grin.
Because of this unexpected episode, Hu Xiaotian decided to postpone reporting to the county government, and there were still three days before he took office, so he temporarily found an inn to rest, and by the way, he was familiar with the situation in Qingyun County.
The three of them stayed at the Fulai Inn on East Street, the owner of the store is called Su Guangju, a middle-aged man who looks loyal and kind, the Fulai Inn is not luxurious, the door is not big, there are only eight rooms, but fortunately, it is cleaned up. What's more, the owner of the shop also cooks a good dish.
After settling down, Hu Xiaotian took a comfortable hot bath, and came to the grape trellis in the courtyard, Liang Dazhuang had already tidied up the table, and the wine and food were placed on the table, which was full of aroma.
Seeing Hu Xiaotian coming in, Liang Dazhuang smiled and said, "Young master, it's very cheap to eat and live here, and the money we have left is enough to live comfortably for half a month." ”
Hu Xiaotian sat down at the table: "It won't take that long, let's go to work in two days." ”
"Going to work?" Liang Dazhuang was confused by his fresh vocabulary.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and lowered his voice and said: "It's to take office, low-key, we must keep a low profile, I don't want others to know my identity in the past two days." This is all because of his father's confession, if it weren't for this, Hu Xiaotian would have brought out his father's official authority to crush these grassroots officials, but it is not easy for him to hide his identity for a long time, at least Qiqi already knows his identity, and the group of dusty women in Xiezhou Huancai Pavilion also know, thinking of this, I can't help but remember that I also wrote an IOU of a thousand taels of silver, and stamped the official seal on it, it is really a headache, and I don't know what kind of trouble I want to cause in the future.
Liang Dazhuang nodded mysteriously and said, "Young master, I understand, I understand everything, you want to pay a private visit and observe the people's feelings!" High, really high! ”
Hu Xiaotian smiled, raised his index finger in front of his lips and sighed mysteriously, at this time, Murong Feiyan still didn't come over, and said to Liang Dazhuang: "What about Miss Murong?" ”
Liang Dazhuang looked around, and then lowered his voice and said to him, "I just saw her go out." ”
Hu Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, Murong Feiyan didn't have any acquaintances in Qingyun County, she definitely didn't go out to find relatives and friends, maybe to buy things, women are different from men after all, are there any instant messengers in the current era, paging, mobile phones, walkie-talkies, there are no same, I really want to find someone, except for Fei Kou, Hu Xiaotian doesn't want to shout people all over the street, he said to Liang Dazhuang: "You go and talk to Shopkeeper Su, the hot dishes will be made later, let's wait for her slowly while drinking." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Murong Feiyan had already left the courtyard.
Hu Xiaotian smiled: "I was saying that I was waiting for you, but it happened that you came." ”
Murong Fei said: "Don't wait for me, you drink first, I'll change my clothes and come over." ”
Hu Xiaotian's eyes chased Murong Feiyan's delicate back, and inadvertently Liang Dazhuang actually looked at Murong Feiyan's shadow, picked up the chopsticks at the moment, turned his head and knocked on the door of this guy's head, Liang Dazhuang was smashed so painfully, he couldn't bear it and didn't scream, but he also knew that he was at a loss, everyone has a love for beauty, didn't he just take a second look, the young master's heart is too much, who said that good things should be shared in the past? Just take a look, and you won't lose a piece of meat.
