"Naturally, I was arrested, if I hadn't been arrested, do you think we would be able to watch the excitement here? He was driven away by Zou County's Cheng faction a long time ago. Look at who's coming to chase us now. ”

"Lao Xu is right, the Zou family is the most domineering, and always likes to pay attention to the difference between officials and the people, if Zou Xiancheng hadn't been arrested and had no qualifications to order, he would have let people blow us away a long time ago."

Zou Xiancheng listened to the words of the people around him, his face was gloomy and terrifying, but he knew that he was at a disadvantage now, and Jiang Dahu had an enmity with him, even if he opened his mouth to ask Jiang Dahu to drive away these people who were watching the excitement, Jiang Dahu would not agree, and would laugh at him in turn.

Zou Xiancheng would not do such a humiliating thing, he only looked ahead, walked with his head held high, and looked like he was innocent, he was falsely accused by Zou Jiang.

Jiang Xianwei glanced at Zou Xiancheng and sneered in his heart. Sure enough, it was an old fox, and at this time he pretended to be a decent man and a gentleman who was framed, but unfortunately Zou Xiancheng's prison trip was decided.

Zou Mansion is not far from the county government, but because there are too many people watching the excitement along the way, Zou County Cheng and his party walked for two quarters of an hour before arriving at the county office.

Xu Xianling had been waiting for the county lieutenant Jiang to escort people over, and when he saw Ran, he immediately patted the shocked wood: "Quiet, quiet, Xuan Zou Youlian will go to the court." ”

Yang Bantou and a group of officials opened the way, and Jiang County Lieutenant took Zou Xiancheng to the public court.

Zou Xiancheng is still an official, there is no need to kneel, he straightened his waist and walked into the court, looked at the Xu County order in the hall, and said: "See the lord." If you want to sue Zou Jiang for false accusations of lowly duty, please accept it. ”

With that, he took out the paper that he had written early in the morning and hid in the placket of his clothes, and handed it to Xu County.

Seeing this, Master Shao immediately said: "Lord County Order, Shao is a talented person, you can be a lawyer for Zou County, please ask the county order to accept this case." ”

If the case of Zou County's lawsuit against Zou Jiang is not accepted, then the Xu County Order is to use his power to murder the adjutant, and if this matter is caused by the Yamen of the Fucheng, the chief official of the Xu County Order will not have to do it.

As soon as Zou Xiancheng and Master Shao's words came out, they didn't look at the lively people, and even Xu Xianling was shocked, and he sneered in his heart. He knew that Zou Xiancheng was the first tyrant of Tianfu County, but he didn't expect it to come to such a point, and Zou Xiancheng also came to make a counter-accusation.

Master Tian was so angry that he almost pointed at Zou Xiancheng and scolded, how could the surnamed Zou be so vicious, he actually gave them this wink

Jiang Xianwei and Zou Xiancheng have been working together for half a lifetime, knowing Zou Xiancheng's shamelessness, it was not surprising to hear this, the old god said: "Zou Youlian, you Zou Jiang falsely accused you, do you have evidence?" If you make false accusations against others without evidence, you will really cry out for injustice. You must know that Zou Jiang sued you, but the evidence is conclusive. ”

Master Tian immediately came to his senses and reminded Xu County: "My lord, on the evidence, directly smash the evidence, and put the surnamed Zou in prison first." ”

As soon as the surname Zou came, he retorted, he was a difficult bone to gnaw, and they couldn't spend too long with him in court. This has dragged on for a long time, and it is inevitable that the surname Zou will give birth to other moths.

Xu Xian Ling immediately said: "Lord Jiang is right, there is a first come and first come in everything, since it is Zou Jiang who sued you first, then you should deal with his pleadings first." Come on, on the evidence. ”

Master Tian immediately took Zou Jiang's accusation against Zou Xiancheng.

"Zou Jiang, formerly known as Jiang Sheng, sued Zou Youlian for corruption and perverting the law during his reign, embezzling 10,000 quintals of grain tax and 1,400 taels of poll tax for Fuxian County, and taking advantage of his position to embezzle 1,100 mu of paddy fields, 2,600 mu of dry land, 57 houses, and 31 shops."

Master Tian pointed to the wooden box on his desktop and said: "This is the account book presented by Jiang Sheng, which clearly records the amount of Zou Youlian's embezzlement of ink, as well as five letters written to the scribes of Hukou Town, Xianggui Town, and Yonglu Town, as well as several lieutenant chiefs and village heads, all of which are evidence that Zou Youlian conspired with them to seize the villagers' fields, houses, and shops. ”

"We have examined these letters and account books, and the fields, houses, and shops mentioned in the books are true. Now twenty percent of these things are in the name of the Zou family, and two percent are in the name of Master Shao's daughter-in-law, as for those that are not in the name of the Zou family and the Shao family, the adults will send someone to check. ”

"The handwriting on the letter is from the hands of three people, and the other two have not been found, but one of them is Master Shao."

After Master Tian finished, he looked at Master Shao, who was pale, and said with a smile: "Master Shao, you don't have to be a lawyer for Zou Xiancheng." Come on, tie up Shao Qizhuang and listen to the trial together! ”

"Yes." The three servants immediately rushed over, tied up Master Shao, who was still in a daze, and held him on the ground.

Master Shao's knee hurt, and he finally came back to his senses and shouted: "Wronged, wronged, I didn't help Zou Xiancheng do the corruption and bending the law, I was wronged!" ”

I'm really afraid of something, Master Shao has helped Zou Xiancheng do a lot of evil things over the years, and has gained a lot of benefits, and now Zou Xiancheng was sued by Zou Jiang, he began to be afraid, afraid that he would be implicated and put into prison together.

Xu County ordered: "If you are wronged or not, you have your own evidence." If you have evidence to prove your innocence, the official will handle it impartially and release you in court, if not, you will have to be taken into custody for trial. ”

"These are just the proceeds of corruption and perversion of the law, Zou Youlian has also committed the evil things of abusing power for personal gain, collecting money to kill people's lives, and taking advantage of the convenience of being in charge of forced labor, and selling the good people who are serving forced labor into slavery and trafficking them to Jiangnan!"

Master Tian pointed to another wooden box containing evidence and said, "These are all evidence that Zou Youlian is cheap and sells good people!" ”

When the people gathered at the gate of the yamen heard this, they were completely shocked and angry, and pointed at Zou County Cheng and said: "Zou Youlian, you old brute, you actually put the good people who went to serve in slavery and sold them, you are still not human?!" ”

"Eh, my second son has not come back since he went to serve in conscription more than ten years ago, the law given by the government is dead, but my second son doesn't even have a corpse, is this dead or was sold as a slave by Zou Youlian?!"

"The eldest son of my family is too, and he can't see anyone alive or dead......"

"My husband has never come back since he went to serve in the forced labor, and my father-in-law and mother-in-law have gone to the yamen many times to ask questions, but each time they can't ask anything. I wanted to look for someone in the place where my men were servants, but the yamen didn't give the address at all. My in-laws are blind to death because of this. It's been 20 years, and my sons have all become biological sons, but his father's body has not been recovered. Buried in that grave is a set of clothes for my man. ”

"Woo woo, master, is my man Ran Di dead or sold!" An old woman originally brought her grandson to see the excitement, but at the moment she was sitting directly at the door of the yamen and crying.

The other people who had family members who went to serve in the conscription but were killed, but did not transport the corpses back, were all angry, and they generally rushed into the yamen to find Zou County to seek the law, which was a complete trouble.
