Xu Xianling looked at the large group of people rushing towards the yamen, and was very frightened, patting the shocked wood and saying, "Stop them, stop them." ”

He pointed to the crowd who rushed in and said angrily: "Bold, this is the county government, it is a big crime for you to trespass into the county government court, retreat quickly, don't harm yourself!" ”

"Phew, you dog officer, you are in a hurry to let us step down, do you want to protect the surname Zou!" Some people are in a hurry, regardless of whether they point at Xu County Commander or not, and scold: "You are a county order, Zou Youlian sells good citizens who serve in forced labor, can you know as a county order?" Or do you also have a share of selling people for money! ”

Xu Xianling was about to cry, he shielded Zou Xiancheng? He sells people for money? If it weren't for him, Zou Xiancheng would have been arrested in court?

Wronged, really unjustly killed.

Xu Xianling glared at Master Tian fiercely, and Master Tian hurriedly said: "Fellow villagers, fellow villagers, Lord County Commander is definitely on your side. He was born in a peasant family, and he was still so poor after so many years as an official, if it weren't for the dowry of the county commander to support the expenses in the house, and the county ordered to spare clothes all year round, he couldn't even afford pen, ink, paper and inkstone. ”

Xu Xianling's face turned green, although Master Tian was helping him, there was no need to make him so miserable.

Master Tian raised Zou County's correspondence with the scribes, lieutenant chiefs, and village chiefs of several towns: "These cases were all ten years ago, and Xu County's order didn't come to Tianfu County to serve ten years ago, you are wrong to blame people, if you want to blame the predecessors, the former predecessors and the adults of the predecessors!" ”

The people of the market were straightforward, and Master Tian was very straightforward with them, so they understood and stopped scolding Xu County's order.

But some angry people still wanted to rush into the court to beat Zou County Cheng angrily, but they were stopped by Jiang County Lieutenant: "Folks, don't be impulsive, the county commander has already arrested Zou Youlian, and the surname Zou can't escape this time." Don't worry, it's not worth it to commit the crime of trespassing on the court for the sake of such a brute, everyone just quit and listen at the yamen. ”

Jiang County's prestige in the county seat is very high, and the people in the county are willing to listen to him, so they withdrew when they heard the words, and said: "Let's listen to Jiang Darao, with him and Xu County's order, he will definitely give us justice." ”

Some people felt that it was very undeserving to scold Xu County's order just now, so they wanted to give Xu County's order good words, and raised their voices: "That's, didn't you listen to Master Tian, Xu County's order is from a farmer's family, and he must also be a person who has picked dung, planted seedlings, and beaten grain, and is the same as us, we have to believe in Xu's county order, but we can't make trouble for him." ”

Xu Xianling's face was not green, it was completely black...... Can you stop mentioning the matter of picking up dung and farming? It's been decades, okay.

And his family is a solid family, and when the family is busy with farming, he will hire workers, so he doesn't need to pick up manure.

"My lord, you have to make decisions for us, when the men of my family died in the service of forced labor in the Yamen, the men of my family were only twenty-three years old, and I was widowed before I was twenty...... Look at my face, this is tired of life, I am only forty-four now, but who can see me, who is not nearly sixty years old? ”

"If the men in my family were still there, and there were men supporting the portal, I wouldn't have to age like this?" The old woman who was sitting on the ground crying had already taken her grandson to kneel down to Xu County, begging Xu County to be the master.

When other sons, brothers, and fathers who died in forced labor and did not have their bodies transported home, they also knelt down and cried, "Lord Prefectural Commander, you have to make decisions for us and find out the truth of the past." Is this man dead or alive? Where is it now? There has to be a way, even if we die, we have to be given a corpse. What kind of thing is it that you don't see people alive and don't see corpses? ”

Seeing that they were crying miserably, Xu Xianling was a little moved, and said to them: "Don't worry, this official is trying the case today, just to find out the truth of the matter and give the people justice." But the trial of the case is not a matter that can produce results in one or two, Zou Youlian is an official, even if the evidence is conclusive, the case must be sent to the Fucheng Yamen, so that after the Fucheng Yamen has been tried, Zou Youlian's crime can be cured. ”

He also said, "Well, if someone in your family goes to serve in the conscription and is told that he is dead, but there is no body to bring back, you can line up and ask the official to register, and the yamen will investigate for you." If you are really sold by Zou Youlian, I will definitely give you a law. ”

"Eh, let's line up to register." The people who watched the excitement immediately moved, some lined up to register, and some left in a hurry.

"There are also people in our village who go to serve in forced labor, and in the end, they don't see anyone alive or dead, and they are estimated to have been sold by Zou Youlian. No, we have to go back to the village chief and ask the villagers to hurry to the yamen. ”

"We also have it in our village, and I have to go back and call someone quickly."

"Haozi, don't go to carry the work, something big has happened, we have to hurry back to the village and call someone!"

For a time, the entire county was in a sensation, and all of them rushed out of the city and returned to the village to find Rao farmers.

Xu Xianling was afraid of this, and pointed at the farmers who were running and glared at Zou Xiancheng angrily: "Zou Youlian, look at the good things you have done, now you have harmed the entire Tianfu County, and you have done evil." ”

In so many villages in Tianfu County, it is estimated that many villages have people who have been sold for forced labor, and the peasants in the countryside are particular about "if you bully one person in our village, the whole village will come to beat you", if all the men in the village come to the yamen with hoes, he will not have to live this day.

Zou Xiancheng was indifferent: "Lord County Commander, although you are the chief official of a county, you are not qualified to sentence this official, and this case has to be decided by the Yamen of the city." ”

Zou Xiancheng stared at Xu County's order and sneered: "Besides, the evidence presented by Zou Jiang is perjury, the official is not guilty, and the official was framed!" ”

Xu Xianling was so angry by Zou Xiancheng that he shook his hands and pointed at him and said: "The evidence presented by Zou Jiang has been tested, and everyone believes that it is true, and you dare to be perjury." ”

The old god of Zou County is here: "Have you tested it?" Did Master Rao test it with Jiang Dahu? If an adult wants to make meritorious contributions and be promoted, Jiang Dahu has a grudge against his own official, so he is not qualified to test these evidences. Even if it were tested, his words would not be counted. ”

Master Shao was so excited when he heard this, he almost shouted...... Perjury, why didn't he think that the evidence was perjury.

"Lord County Commander, Lord Zou is right, we were framed by false evidence created by Zou Jiang, we are innocent! Zou Jiang ......"

Before Master Shao's words were finished, he was gagged by a servant with a sackcloth ball, unable to speak.

"Mmmmmm Master Shao was extremely angry, glaring at Yang Bantou's nephew, eager to kick him to death.

Zou Jiang looked at Xu County's order with sweat on his forehead, and knew that Xu County's order couldn't fight Zou Youlian, so he said: "My lord, as long as you have checked the evidence with Jiang County's lieutenant, the head of the official team, the criminal master, and the experienced scribe, and all the evidence is confirmed to be true, you can take the defendant into custody." Then hand over the case and its exhibits to the Fucheng Yamen, and the Fucheng Yamen will take over the investigation, Zou Youlian, as a suspect, has the right to question but has no right to interfere with the adult's handling of the case. ”
