The blue city walls, towering pines and cypresses, low houses, well-defined streets, old bridges, crystal clear rivers, tall city gates, and steep mountains......

For Yu Yan and Fang Yu, this is a familiar taste, and the joy of reunion after a long absence is overflowing on their faces.

Fang Erhai asked, "Is this the Songzhou you talked about?"

Yu Yan turned around and replied, "Yes, father, we have arrived in Songzhou." Don't go out alone, it's easy to get lost if you're not familiar with life. ”

Fang Erhai noticed that since entering Songzhou City, the faces of the pedestrians he saw were full of happy smiles, and in the bustling crowd, everyone humbled to each other, and when they saw a carriage passing by from a distance, they avoided it early. Lao Shen also nodded politely and expressed his gratitude.

Wang Qing said: "The Tang Dynasty really deserves its reputation. ”

Fang Erhai said: "Why is human beings progressing, but civilization is regressing? You see how friendly the people here are, and it is a kind of happiness to be able to live in this era. ”

Fang Yu smiled and said, "Your emotion is inevitably too early, in a peaceful atmosphere, there is a faint aura of slaughter. ”

Fang Erhai said: "I don't believe that the Tang Dynasty in the prosperous era of Zhenguan can still have any trouble?"

"Hopefully you're right. ”

Under Fang Yu's guidance, Lao Shen quickly found the location of the Songzhou County Office.

The couplet engraved on the pillar is still so shocking: deceive others as if you deceive the sky, do not deceive yourself, and bear the people is the country, how can you bear it.

Fang Yu and the others were about to go in, but they were stopped by the officials at the door.

"Who are you?

Faced with the officer's questioning, Yu Yu smiled slightly and showed the ultimatum. After carefully distinguishing it, the official carefully looked at Fang Yu from head to toe, and suddenly his face was happy.

"It turned out to be Fang Zhi County, the small one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and he hopes to forgive his sins. ”

"You recognize me?"

A year ago, Fang Zhi County bravely eliminated the bully Wu Zhong and gave a bad breath to the people of the city, and the little one was really admired. I have long heard that the magistrate of Fang Zhi County has been reinstated, so our original group of people have already gathered together and are waiting for you to come. As he spoke, he led Fang Yu in.

But in the main hall, under the high hanging mirror, there is a person sitting majestically on the Taishi chair, and there is a fat and a thin person in the hall who are kneeling to listen to the judgment.

The official was about to step forward, when he heard this person on the Taishi's chair, he was shocked and shouted: "When this official is promoted, it is strictly forbidden for outsiders to enter. Are you taking my words as a deaf ear?"

The official was about to argue, but was pulled by Fang Yu. I saw him bow and politely and say, "It's me who is presumptuous, and I will retreat." ”

He withdrew from the main hall with his family, and the official asked puzzledly, "Mingfu, why are you like this?"

Fang Yu didn't answer and asked, "Who is this person?"

"He is a county officer, named Zhu Gang, and during the time when the adults did not come, the county office was temporarily managed by him. The official rank is eight grades, and he is the auxiliary officer of the Ming Mansion. ”

Since he is an assistant officer, why does he look so arrogant and arrogant? Fang Erhai was a little angry, and was about to attack, but was secretly stopped by Yu Yan.

I only heard Fang Yu say: "He is trying the case, and it is a little abrupt for us to go in, which is also inappropriate." It is not too late for him to finish hearing the case and then handle the handover. ”

"Ming Mansion ......" the official swallowed the words to his lips again.

"It's a matter of rambling, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

"After the Ming Mansion takes office, it is best to retry the cases that the Shaofu has tried during this period of time. ”

Fang Yu's heart moved: "Could it be that there is an unjust, false and wrongful case?"

The villain didn't dare to say much. ”

"Forgive you for your innocence, and if you have a word, let it be said. ”

Only then did the government whisper: "The Ming Mansion doesn't know anything. This Wang Gang is the only son of the richest man in Songzhou City, and he spent money to buy this official. ”

"Is that so?"

"It's true, villains don't dare to lie. ”

"This must be very confidential, how did you know about it?"

Qiyu Ming Mansion, before Wang Gang served as the county governor, the villain had a distant relative who held this position, and because he was unwilling to join the same stream, he was framed by the rich man Wang. Now in prison, life and death are unknown. ”

"Anyway, he is also an official of the imperial court, do you know what the crime of falsely accusing the court official is?"

"Mingfu, what the villain said, if there is half a lie, blood will be splashed immediately and you will not die on the spot. ”

"Listen carefully to your house. ”

As the official told the story, a case gradually surfaced. It turned out that this distant relative of his was named Bu Nan, who won the imperial examination and entered the imperial court to obtain an official and a half-position, and then he was sent to Songzhou City as a county minister.

One day, Bu Nan saw someone molesting a woman from a good family on the street, and drove the gangster away under the protection of himself. But he never thought that this was a trap set by the rich man.

On the second day, the rich man sued him for injuring people for no reason, and then paid off the governor for a large sum of money. As a result, Bu Nan was removed from his post and investigated, and his son Wang Gang naturally assumed the post of county governor of Songzhou City.

"Under the prosperity of Zhenguan, there is such a major case, you should not be impatient, and when the government finds out the facts of the case, it will definitely be difficult to get justice. ”

"Thank you Mingfu!"

At this time, I suddenly heard a thin man under the court shouting loudly.

"It's wronged, it's really wronged. This cow is clearly a villain, and the villain's whole family relies on this cow to plow the fields and farm, and now that it has been lost, how can the villain survive?"

"How do you survive, what's the matter with this mansion? If you quibble, you will be punished with thirty rods!"

"The villain is old and young, and the livelihood of the whole family depends on this cow. So this cow is a part of the villain's family, eating and living with the villain day and night. The villain doesn't dare to quibble, and he still wants to see the truth. ”

"What's your name?"

"Qi Ming Mansion, the villain's name is Zhu Liu. ”

"Okay, Zhu Liu, this government promises you that once the truth is discovered, it will definitely give you justice, and also give justice to the people of the world!"

"Above the court, you dare to make a big noise! Come on, drag it out, fight!"

This Wang Gang decided the case so recklessly. Fang Yu was angry, ordered the official to wait outside, and led his family into the main hall in stride.

I saw Wang Gang slapping violently, and shouted: "Trespass on the court, drag it out and fight together!"

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the slim Yu Yan, and he was shocked in his heart, and immediately changed his words and said: "Leave that little lady in this mansion, and the others will call me!"

Fang Yu was furious, and showed the ultimatum in his hand in front of Wang Gang: "Go and see, what is this?"

Wang Gang was stunned for a moment, holding the ultimatum and looking at it over and over again, but his hands trembled involuntarily, and his face turned from anger to sunshine, and from sunny to full of smiles.

"It turned out that Fang Yu Fang Zhi County was here, and he missed the distance, and he hoped to forgive his sins. My name is Wang Gang......"

"This mansion is here, why don't you retreat quickly!" Fang Yu was furious, rushed forward, and kicked him away without saying a word.

"I'm a county magistrate, and I'm also an official of the eighth grade, how can you do this to me?

"How can there be a person like you in the imperial court? With such a simple and clear case, you actually did not distinguish between right and wrong, and the case was closed in a daze. In the days when this government is away, I don't know how many unjust cases have been lost in your hands?"

"You ......"

"Get out of the way. Let's see how this government decides the case!"

Wang Gang dared to say a word again, and stepped aside stupidly, but leaned towards Yu Yan intentionally or unintentionally, staring at her plump chest with a pair of eyes. Yu Yanxiu's eyebrows frowned slightly, and subconsciously hid next to Wang, but he seemed to be even more reckless, where she hid, Wang Gang leaned on.

Fang Erhai frowned, this kind of person is full of bad water! He pulled Yu Yan to the side, and just as Wang Gang's body leaned up, he slammed his shoulder and snorted coldly.

"Don't you have a waist, can't you even stand up straight?"

Wang Gang glanced at him and said, "Who are you, who dare to rush into this mansion?"

"I am the father of the county, and this lady is the lady of the county. How many heads do you have on your shoulders, and you dare to run into Mrs. Zhixian? and dare to threaten Zhixian's father?"

Wang Gang was bored, and obediently flashed to the side. But I heard Fang Yu say: "This government has decided the case, and all the people in the hall are not allowed to make noise, and they are not allowed to talk to each other." ”

Yu Yan smiled slightly, she really didn't see that her husband was so majestic in the court. She wanted to see how Fang Yu decided the case.

I saw that he first asked the fat man: "This house asks you, is that cow yours?"

"Qiqi Ming Mansion is the villain, and the villain wants to give it away. ”

"What do you do when you give it away?"

"The little man has a distant relative who is poor, so he wants to give it to him so that he can have a life. ”

"Where is this cow now?"

"It's in the villain's house. ”

"Since you say that this cow is yours, then you must know what is special about this cow, so you might as well tell this house about it. ”

"This ...... Qiqi Ming Mansion, although this cow is a villain, it is usually taken care of by the villain's subordinates, so the villain does not know what is special about this cow. ”

"Since it is your subordinates who take care of it, then you will let your subordinates come over, and the government will ask questions. ”

"This ...... Qi Ming Mansion, the villain's descendants rushed to the house to mourn because of the loss of their mother at home. ”

Fang Yu nodded, and ordered Zhu Liu, who was at the door, to bring the cow over. Then, taking advantage of this opportunity, he asked the thinner man again: "Benfu asks you, but the cow is yours?"

The thin man said with some emotion: "It's a villain." There was originally a cow in the villain's house, but the cow had died because of the difficult birth. For this, the whole family is still sad. The whole family of the villain regarded this cow as a part of the family, and ate and slept together, and never thought that when he saw that my cow was strong, he robbed it, but insisted that it was his. Please also ask the Ming Mansion to make decisions for the villain. ”

"You said the cow was yours, but is there any proof?"

"The villain is the fourth in the family, and everyone calls me Little Four. So my cow came in fifth, and we all called him Little Five. As soon as I called it, it came. ”

Fang Yu nodded and said, "The case is already very clear here. When Zhu Liu brought the cow over, he would see it immediately. The matter is put on hold for the time being. Wang Gang, this government asks you, how did you frame it? How did you buy off the governor? How did you sit in the position of county governor? If you don't recruit you from the truth, Wu Zhong will be your fate. ”

Wang Gang was stunned. Wu Zhong knew that he was once a tyrant in Songzhou City, and it was this Fangzhi County that beat Wu Zhong to the point that he was beaten to death. Thinking of this, his heart seemed to tremble.

"My lord, the villain won the imperial examination and was assigned by the imperial court. At this time, Wang Gang was still quibbling.

"If you win the imperial examination, it is also documented. As long as the government makes a little inquiry, you can know the authenticity. ”

Wang Gang's heart trembled, with a smile on his face, and he leaned over and whispered, "I don't know anything about the Ming Mansion." The governor and my father are close friends, and you can't help me. But if you let me go, I will be grateful to Dade, and I will never forget it. ”

How do you know that Fang Yu didn't eat him at all: "Above the court, you actually threatened this official? Come on, thirty canes to be punished!"

The county magistrate, who was still majestic just now, became a guilty person in the blink of an eye, and he even had to be sentenced to 30 canes in the public court. The officials in the public hall looked at each other, unable to believe their ears.

"Don't you understand what this government says? bribe privately, threaten this official, molest the lady of this house, and be sentenced to 30 canes!"

This time, the officials heard it clearly, this was indeed about to start, and they couldn't help but feel inexplicably excited in their hearts. This Wang Gang is powerful and blessed on weekdays, and everyone dares to be angry but dare not speak. Now that the magistrate arrived, he was the first to ask him for his guilt, and his heart was happy.

"Yes!"

At that moment, Wang Gang was forcibly pushed to the ground, stripped off his clothes and pants, revealing his fat fart, the officials held their strength, their hands were merciless, and they beat violently, and the painful Wang Gang's pig-like howls came and went.

At this time, Zhu Liu came over with a cow. Fang Yu first asked Xiao Si to avoid it, and let the fatter person come first. When he saw Wang Gang being beaten, his heart was even more empty. But the cow just barked, and no matter how hard he pulled, the cow couldn't take a step.

At this time, Xiao Si couldn't hold back any longer, rushed out of the crowd, knelt on the ground, and howled and cried at the cow. Strange to say, when the cow saw Xiao Si, tears suddenly flowed from the corners of his eyes, and the howl of sadness moved everyone present.

Fang Yu was furious, kicked the fat man over, stepped on his back, and scolded: "Okay, you are a cheater, you dare to deceive this official in the court!

"Yes!"

The fat man's hands and feet were held down tightly, and he was beaten violently until his skin and flesh were opened, and he begged for mercy.

"Mingfu spares his life! Mingfu spares his life! The villain will never dare again!

"Who told you to do this? ”

The villain saw that the county was confused and decided the case, and he was greedy for money. Mingfu spares his life! The villain will never dare again!"

"Get out of here! If I get caught next time, I'll cut off your head!"

"Thank you Mingfu, thank you Mingfu!" The family members who heard the news didn't dare to make a mistake, and while thanking him, they carried him back.

As for Wang Gang, he couldn't get out of bed for half a year. At that moment, in the face of the menacing Songzhou Governor, the rich man Wang did not dare to show his face, but just ordered people to carry him back.

Bu Nan, who was imprisoned, was acquitted on the spot, reinstated, and became his assistant.

This case quickly spread throughout Songzhou City and neighboring cities, and of course also reached the ears of the rich man's close friend and governor.

When the governor heard this, he was furious: "The little seventh-grade official is so arrogant!"
