Chapter 137: It's useless to come in person
Although Xi Hongdou is fried well, this shop is also a mess, and it has to be cleaned up again.
"Let's get it after eating." After Xi Hongdou sighed, he locked the door and went home first, and it is estimated that there will be such troubles in the future.
After returning to the yamen, Xi Hongdou was also as usual, and after eating, she was going to the shop again, although she didn't show anything and didn't say anything, but the mess in the shop still had to be cleaned up.
"The goods haven't come yet, so you don't have to soak in the shop all the time, just rest while you're not busy." Xiao Zhi said that Xi Hongdou's days will definitely be busier in the future, and I am afraid that there will be no time to rest when the time comes.
Xi Hongdou smiled: "I can't rest, so I should go out for a walk." Then he left directly, and Rue Xiang wanted to follow a piece to be a companion, so she went with him.
When she arrived at the shop, Rue Xiang saw that the shop had become a mess, so she asked with a surprised face: "Young grandma, I was fine when I left, why is this like this?" When he saw the red paper on the ground, he asked, "Did you accidentally encounter an open flame with a firecracker?" ”
Xi Hongdou smiled bitterly, and when she told her about the previous incident, Rue Xiang was very angry: "Why are there such bad people everywhere!" "It took a few days to clean up the shop, and I have to start cleaning up again, and I was bullied like this, and I was holding my breath in my heart.
Xiao Zhi suddenly spoke up at this time and said, "Why don't you tell me?" ”
Xi Hongdong hurriedly turned around, he didn't expect him to follow.
"It's not a big deal, it's all a small battle." Xi Hongdou said with a smile: "I can handle it!" "Clean up again and keep it open.
Xiao Zhi's heart was sour, now Xi Hongdou was retaliated against like this because of him, and the Guo family had already hurt the people around him.
"Don't be unhappy, after you get the country done, no one will come to trouble, and everyone here will not be in trouble." Xi Hongdou said with a smile: "Hold on, let's not mess up ourselves." Her philosophy is to persevere a little more, to persevere a little more than others, to always gain a little more, others can't hold on, as long as she holds a little more, the victory is hers. Now I'm boiling my mentality, I can't hold it, but it's really collapsed.
Xiao Zhi sighed, his mood was complicated, now was not the time to be strong, and in the end he could only enter the house and help clean up. He does think that everything is difficult at the beginning, but his father said that you can't choose the easy side of everything, and you can't escape the hardships you should endure, otherwise you will just be a mediocre person.
Xi Hongdou knew the depression in Xiao Zhi's heart, so she went with him, when she and Rue Xiang cleaned up the chicken feathers, Xiao Zhi took tools to repair the cabinet shelves, everyone was silent, but they all had their own thoughts.
On the other end, Guo Linjiang saw that all the things sent out were brought back, so he asked, "What about the person who went to find the witness?"
The housekeeper replied: "I have already sent the news back, and the other party has received the money, so I shouldn't talk nonsense." "If it weren't for the other party's close attention now, they wouldn't dare to do anything out of the ordinary, wouldn't it be easier to deal with a few ordinary people?
Guo Linjiang sighed, now this new county order is also difficult, and he doesn't eat the soft one, and from now on, he has to eat the hard one.
Mrs. Guo said at this time: "Let people go to the prison to take a look, the jailer will not accept our family's money after that, saying that he has been discovered, and he will not dare to be accommodating anymore." "I can't eat or sleep well in that cell, and although she will be out in a few days, she is also worried about her children.
Guo Linjiang shook his head: "I can't get in, I won't be in a hurry if I can get in, that child has been pampered since he was a child, where has he suffered this kind of hardship, I can't tell what it looks like now!" He also knew that he had spoiled his nephew, but the two of them, now there is only such a male left, and the Guo family will still have to hold on in the future, how can it be done without a male? Now even if the Guo family is bankrupt, they still have to keep Guo Xiaochun, this new county order is shameless, but the officials are crushed to death, these officials, they don't believe that they can be as clean as this new county order!
Xiao Zhi kept the last date, Lin Da finally brought the witness back, the witness was harassed by the Guo family, although the money was given, but they did not dare not accept it, Lin Da lobbied every day, even persuaded and intimidated, and the witness finally agreed to come out to testify.
Xiao Zhi looked at the silver that Lin Da brought back to buy, and sneered: "Give more money if you buy it, who is this looking down on?" He thought how powerful the Guo family was, so he took out two taels of silver to buy it, and he couldn't hold back his laughter, okay?
Lin Da said: "It seems that the other party is greedy a lot, and it is so in the hands of other witnesses, and the witnesses are also intimidated by the housekeeper of the Guo family, which makes them uneasy every day, and they come with the mood of breaking the jar and falling." ”
"As long as you're willing to come, it's good to say." Xiao Zhi said that it was finally time for the final battle, and he would be promoted to the hall tomorrow.
As soon as the Guo family heard that the witnesses went directly to the yamen, they were furious on the spot, and directly called the housekeeper and asked, "What are you going to do?" Can't you buy a hundred taels of silver and shut up? What is the origin of the witness? Can't look down on a hundred taels?! "As long as there are no witnesses to testify, then Guo Xiaochun can't be convicted of homicide, and he doesn't care how much money he spends!
The housekeeper was sweating, he didn't make a lot of money in the middle of this matter, he originally thought that relying on the power of the Guo family would make the witness dare not come to testify, so he gave the witness two taels of silver, and the rest went into his pocket, who would have thought that the witness was really bold, he really dared to testify, the matter was messed up, if the old man knew that he was full of private pockets, I am afraid that his life is really not guaranteed!
"Old, sir, it may be that the witness has been threatened by the county master......" The housekeeper wanted to handsome the pot, Guo Linjiang said: "If the county master can really threaten, I'm afraid that Xiaochun would have been beheaded long ago!" "He's not confused!
Because of the appearance of witnesses, the Guo family fell into low pressure all of a sudden, tomorrow is the period of January, if you ascend to the court, things are not good, but fortunately, he has already done it!
The next day, the people of the whole city came to the yamen, waiting for the trial of the case, to see who won and who lost.
The Guo family came early, Guo Linjiang finally came to the road, Xiao Zhi looked at Guo Linjiang under the hall, and it was obvious that Guo Linjiang was scheming, and he didn't know if there would be any problems in the court trial for a while.
Xi Hongdou is still integrated into the masses of the people and listens to everyone's voices.
Mrs. Qian looked at Guo Linjiang, her eyes were full of hatred, it was this Guo Linjiang who raised that Guo Xiaochun to be like a beast, harmed her son, harmed her family, today is a battle against the water, if the government can't sentence Guo Xiaochun to kill and pay for his life, she will take matters into her own hands and kill that Guo Xiaochun directly! Anyway, she has a life, and she doesn't have a few days to live!
As soon as the startling wood sounded, Guo Xiaochun brought it over, he couldn't eat or sleep well in prison, goodbye Guo Xiaochun found that Guo Xiaochun no longer had the arrogance he had before, the whole person had lost weight, and he was a lot haggard, with a scruffy beard, messy hair, and a smelly body, and his embarrassed appearance made many people look dark, Guo Xiaochun also has today?
"Don't let me go yet!" Although Guo Xiaochun said this viciously, he was weak and unimposing.
Guo Linjiang looked at Guo Xiaochun in prison, and his face was also ugly.
Xiao Zhi began to try the case, there are witnesses, there are bitter masters, Guo Xiaochun's case can basically be decided, Guo Linjiang's face is really getting more and more ugly, when Xiao Zhi was about to be convicted, but suddenly something changed, and the master book of Shuobei Prefecture Taishou actually arrived.
"Slow down, Lord Xiao don't be impatient!" As soon as Master Liang appeared, he looked like a smiling tiger, Xiao Zhi frowned, and said, "Who roared in court and obstructed the handling of the case?" ”
Zhao Huan reminded in a low voice at this time: "This is the master book of Shuobei Prefecture, Liang Xian!" "Generally, Liang Xian came forward, and the previous county masters also wanted to give thin noodles.
"Lord, I thought it was Taishou himself!" Xiao Zhi's face turned cold, the master of the Taishou was hired privately, just like Zhao Huan, the master, he was not an official of the imperial court, just an assistant, and a little master bookkeeper dared to come over to stop him?
As soon as Master Liang looked at Xiao Zhi, he said: "Lord Xiao don't be impatient, everything is easy to discuss, this matter of judging the case, we are too shou Lord to please!" "If Xiao Zhinian is allowed to make a final conviction, there is no way to change it.
Xiao Zhi sneered: "There's nothing to discuss, this case has been decided, even if Lord Taishou comes in person, this matter has not changed!" ”
"Lord Xiao......" Master Liang wanted to say more, Xiao Zhi said directly: "Master Liang is not an official of the imperial court, if you want to obstruct official business again, then you have to be too shou to personally lead people, and the crime of roaring in court is not small, right?!" After speaking, he looked at Guo Linjiang.
Guo Linjiang has given Shuobei Taishou a lot of benefits, so he hopes that Taishou can suppress this Xiao County Order by relying on his official position. Everyone knows that Master Liang's words are like Taishou coming in person, but as a result, Xiao Zhi didn't give face at all, and sent Master Liang away in two sentences.
Xiao Zhi directly convicted Guo Xiaochun at this time, Guo Xiaochun killed people to pay for his life, and asked for beheading after the autumn, and calculated the time, and there was not half a month.
Guo Linjiang's face darkened, and he hurriedly looked at Master Liang, Master Liang had no choice, he was indeed not an official, and now there was no way for Xiao Zhi to erase the convicted crime. And the jubilant attitude of the common people now, if Xiao Zhi changes the trial in person, these ordinary people are afraid that they will go berserk, and no one knows what will happen then!
Guo Linjiang felt that the money was wasted, and he could only find another way after that, although he was sentenced to death, it was not impossible to get someone out of death row!
Xiao Zhi's first battle is a perfect ending, although the country will not give up after that, but here in the common people, Xiao Zhi has earned enough majesty, let everyone know that this new county master is not a mess and waiting for death, but is really willing to uphold justice for the people!
