And the next day, Fang Yingshi looked outside the gate of the county government according to the habit of the past two days. After a while, he saw Fang Yingshi leading a middle-aged man with thief eyebrows and rat eyes back, and reported to Fang Yingwu: "This person claimed to be a relative of the He family who complained, and wanted to see the county honor, so he dared to accept it." ”

Seeing this, Fang Yingwu asked lightly, "Who are you?" What is the important thing to see the officer? ”

The man replied: "The villain is the uncle of the He family, whose surname is Chai and his name is Yidong, and he asked to see the eldest master today, especially to settle the lawsuit." ”

Fang Yingwu's heart moved when he heard this, and when he said that, the other party Yingshi said: "Please come Mr. Lou!" ”

Listening to this Chai Dong continued: "My niece is also forced to sue here, her family's thirty acres of land is indeed something that has been occupied by a nobleman, and the man has died again, so there is no livelihood at all, so she has to come to complain. ”

Fang Yingwu didn't speak, leaned back on the Taishi's chair and closed his eyes. Chai Dong secretly glanced at the county honor, and saw that the county lord had no reaction, so he took the initiative to speak: "My niece is a little dead-eyed, and she is determined to sue, but the villain has been persuading her for the past two days." But she said that she knew that this case was difficult to handle, but if she didn't sue her, she would starve to death, and it was better to sue to the end. ”

It happened that Lou Tianhua came in at this time, and when he heard Chai Dong's words, he interjected: "Don't talk nonsense, won't you just come to complain?" ”

Fang Yingwu glanced at Lou Tianhua, asked Lou Tianhua to be in charge of the negotiation, and then left with his hands in his hands. As a dignified county honor, it naturally has the dignity of a county honor.

Chai Dong watched Fang Zhixian leave, glanced at Master Lou a few times, and then gritted his teeth and said: "If there is no livelihood worry, the villain will be sure that his niece will persuade him to settle the lawsuit." ”

Lou Tianhua said impatiently: "Say it clearly." How much money are you going to ask for for her? Chai Dong immediately replied: "Thirty taels." ”

Lou Tianhua said angrily: "Hugh wants the lion to open his mouth, even in the south of the Yangtze River." Thirty taels is enough to buy ten acres of land, you are really daring! Five taels at most. Don't just get out! ”

Chai Dong said with a shy face: "Mr. Lou, you are simply calling Huazi, and the respect of a county is not bad for silver." ”

Lou Tianhua sneered: "This is to send Huazi, if it weren't for the county's benevolence, you wouldn't even have these five taels." Besides, if you save five taels of silver, it will be enough for your niece to live for a year! ”

Chai Dong pleaded: "Please add more, if the lawsuit is settled, it will be very good and everyone will be happy." Lou Tianhua spat on Chai Dong: "Phew! Not a penny more! ”

Chai Dong saw that he really couldn't ask for much, so he had to say stupidly: "Five taels is five taels, but you want official silver, otherwise the villain can't believe it." ”

Lou Tianhua sneered: "Five taels is not much. But it can't be in vain. If you take the money and disappear, and the woman of the He family is still blocking the gate of the county government, what should you do? So I will only write you an IOU, and when you will persuade your niece to leave, and when you will come to me again with the IOU to receive the money. ”

Chai Dong was extremely dissatisfied, "Could it be that Mr. can't trust the villain?" Lou Tianhua replied unceremoniously: "I really can't believe it." ”

Chai Dong had to accept the IOU and muttered, "It may not be possible to persuade immediately, but it is always between these two days." ”

Out of the gate of the county government, Chai Dong glanced at the He family in the corner of the eight-character wall. But he didn't stop to stop, walked to the tea stall with a pergola across the street, and asked for a big bowl of herbal tea to drink slowly.

I don't know how long it took, but the sound of gongs sounded in the distance. In front of the gate of the county government, everyone vaguely saw a team appear at the corner of the street.

When I got closer, I saw that this team was not small, similar to the county magistrate's travel. It's just that the team size is slightly smaller. Those who have a lot of insight look at the sign and immediately distinguish it. This is the old man of the imperial history patrolling the streets.

At the same time that the dynasty set up a county attached to Guozhi in the capital, it also set up a royal history to patrol the city. Probably to make up for the shortcomings of the county government. After all, the affairs of the county are complicated and trivial, and at the same time, according to tradition, the county government cannot be lightly discharged, and it is impossible to respond quickly to the complex street affairs of the capital, so there is the establishment of the Imperial History of the Patrol City, which is designed to suppress the streets, rectify the discipline, give priority to criminal cases such as human life, and accept reports from the people.

However, it was said that this imperial historian passed by the procession from the front street of the county ya, and when he walked outside the gate of the county office, the idlers gathered outside the county government avoided it one after another, and stood on both sides of the street to watch.

At this moment, an unkempt and sloppy woman rushed out of the back corner of the crowd, knelt down in front of Yu Shiyi, and blocked the way of the old man.

The people who were indifferent suddenly cheered up and gradually gathered onlookers. The situation is obvious, this woman must be blocking the street to complain, and there is a lot of excitement to see! After a few discussions, they all knew that this person had been suing the county government for several days for the occupation of his own land.

The imperial history of patrolling the city that appears today is called Zhao Wenhuan, which was originally the imperial history of Henan Province in the thirteen imperial histories of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

There are more than 100 imperial histories in the Jingshi Metropolitan Inspectorate, although they are all called imperial histories, but the dispatch is different. Zhao Yushi was originally responsible for supervising the work of cleaning up military households and battalions, and was the so-called imperial history of the Qing army, but yesterday, he suddenly received a reassignment from Dai Jin, the imperial envoy of the right capital, to take on the dispatch of patrolling the imperial history of the city.

However, he said that Zhao Yushi had traveled here, and when he heard the report from the forerunner that someone had blocked the street to complain, he got off the sedan chair and asked, "What grievances do you have?" The woman raised her head and said, "Sue Wanfang Zhixian for shielding the powerful, bribing and coercing the women to settle the lawsuit, please ask the old man Yu Shi to investigate!" ”

There was an uproar around him, could Fang Qingtian do such a thing? Zhao Yushi looked up and looked around, and ordered to the left and right: "Temporarily borrow the Wanping County Yagong Court to try the case." ”

Speaking of this patrol of the imperial history, there is an unwritten convention, when the imperial history of the patrol of the city takes the case when inspecting the street, you can borrow a nearby yamen place to try the case, which is the unique privilege of the imperial history of the patrol city. Anyway, there are many yamen in Beijing, and you can find the yamen court almost everywhere.

Zhao Yushi wants to borrow the Wanping County Court, and the county will not be able to sit firmly in the yazhong, so he can only go out to greet him. Suddenly hearing that he had been sued by He's family, Fang Yingwu was very surprised, and he didn't understand what was going on for a while.

Was it from the beginning that He Shi had this idea and set a trap against himself, or did Chai Dong fail to persuade him, and he deliberately delayed the case, but he annoyed He Shi and simply sued himself frantically?

Fang Yingwu pondered in his heart while directing the officials to close the gate of the county government and keep all the idlers out. But Zhao Yushi turned around and ordered: "This official's trial has always been upright and bright, why can't you see people?" Let's open the curfew and let the people go to the public court to observe! ”

Fang Zhixian frowned when he heard this, and his heart was clouded. From the perspective of the protection of officials and officials, in order to take care of his own face, it is right for Zhao Yushi to try the case behind closed doors. But this city patrol historian deliberately wants to try the case publicly, which is a bit of an anomaly. (To be continued......)
