Chapter 31: The Case of the Government Office
The faces of the two were different, and the magistrate felt that these people were not simple before, so he kept an eye on them, and they were not too domineering.
And Lin Yuanwai frowned, looking at his expression, he could also know that it was fear, a sense of fear emanating from his heart.
Xuanyuan Qinghe took out the edict and showed it to them, and Shen Luo gently lifted the waist card to let them see enough.
"I don't know if it's an adult, the lower official should be damned!" The magistrate immediately said in a panic, he didn't want to throw away this black gauze hat, after all, he still had to rely on his family to make a living.
"It turned out to be an adult, then my son's left hand, if he lost it, he lost it!" Lin Yuanwai said in a trembling voice, the most three of them are people who can't be provoked, how can I win the lawsuit for this rebel?!
Xuanyuan Qinghe felt that he should stand up now, although it was relatively late, but he always had to say something, so he learned from the ministers in the court, and pretended to say:
"This official is the prefect of Qinzhou, and he can't manage your affairs in Suzhou, although your son has not made a big mistake, but molesting the daughter of the secretary of the military department and cutting off his left hand is already a very light punishment.
If you let Li Shangshu know, this small place of yours is estimated to be trampled by iron horses, not to mention that Lord Tisi is still here, you should know what kind of institution the Supervision Yuan is, right?
Actually, I won't say it, take your son to be treated as soon as possible, and I will send you some bereavement benefits, then Lord Zhixian, do you still have questions? ”
"The lower officials don't dare, follow the teachings of the adults!"
If the prefect is talking about something else here, then he is a fool, not to mention that the prefect is the fourth grade, but the prefect is a positive seventh grade, and the most terrifying person in the entire Ming Kingdom, the Lord of the Supervision Yuan is still here, if you say more, you don't know how you died.
"So now can we go?" Shen Luo asked with a smile on his face.
And this kind of smile, in the eyes of Lin Yuanwai and Zhixian, is a smile that is close to weird and gloomy, and people can't help but break out in a cold sweat after seeing it.
"Yes, adults can do it themselves, don't be restrained."
After Li Xiaoran and his party walked out of their court, Xuanyuan Qinghe and Shen Luo felt that it was nothing, one was the most terrifying person, and the other was a person who should have been cold-blooded, and there would always be such emotions.
And Li Xiaoran fell into a kind of contemplation, before he showed his identity, he had been suppressed, and the magistrate and Lin Yuanwai did not retreat, exerting pressure everywhere.
And after the identity was revealed, the situation changed completely, and the people who should have been tough became softer and did not even dare to fight back.
Where can this so-called fairness, this illusory right path, come from, and who can master it?
Fairness is just different from person to person, there are different rules in front of different people, and different rules have different fairness, what kind of world is it.
"What are you thinking, we are making such a fuss, it is estimated that we will have to walk for a few more days, go to the carriage, leave early, arrive early!"
Xuanyuan Qinghe saw that Li Xiaoran was stunned in place, not knowing what he was thinking, so he reminded him, and made a grimace, but Li Xiaoran still didn't react.
The sky slowly darkened, and it began to rain lightly, and after the rain fell on the ground, it splashed water, and the splashing ripples pierced the bottom of people's hearts, making people's hearts ripple.
After coming back to his senses, this scene in Li Xiaoran's heart always can't let go, let alone forget, and after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't want to, it was better to leave it to time and let time explain all this.
Got on the carriage and headed in the direction of Qinzhou, hurrying up, in fact, it should have arrived a long time ago, but it was delayed for too long.
Qinzhou has a reputation of "the gathering place of fireworks in the world" from a long time ago, the Emperor Taishang has traveled here, and greatly praised this place after going back, the original words of the Emperor Taishang are: Qinzhou is also a place where blessings gather, and the people of dawn are here, then they can bless the peace!
It was this praise that set off a bloody storm back then, and people who experienced it didn't want to think about it, because it was ridiculous!
At this time, Qinzhou, the prosperous scene, is also not inferior to the capital at all, but it is slightly inferior to that year.
"I received news a few days ago that the new prefect is coming, how long have I been waiting! It's not here yet! ”
At this time, in the government office of Qinzhou, a relatively rough man, with a bronzed complexion, looked like a "healthy" color, picked up the wine bottle and poured it directly into his mouth, he had drunk to the point of being unconscious, and his mouth was still muttering, not knowing what he was talking about.
"It's not that there is no one else in the house, why are you waiting, you might as well run to Yingchun Pavilion to have a good time, don't you say!"
Looking at the source of the voice, I saw a personable man walking in through the door, this man seemed to be born with a weak aura, which made people see this person "mother" from their bones.
"Cui Qi, you have the leisure to joke with me, you have a lot more work than me, don't you hurry up, are you still going to keep it for the new prefect?"
That man is Cui Qi, who is the experience of the prefect's yamen experience department, and this experience department is an institution in charge of cashiers and documents in the yamen.
"Chen Wei, isn't your case over yet, you have the leisure to drink here, if the prefect comes later, I'll see what you do!"
Chen Wei is the one who is drinking, and Chen Wei is the director of the prison, and this prison department is an institution of the prefect's yamen who is in charge of the affairs of the prisoners.
"It's coming, it's coming, don't you know how long it's been since we've opened? It's been too peaceful lately, and I always have a sense of foreboding! ”
Chen Wei crossed his legs, fiddling with the good wine aged in his hand, and said triumphantly.
"Do you still want something to happen? It's okay, okay, I got my monthly income safely, and I went back to honor my parents, and I was done! "Cui Qi doesn't want to care too much, anyway, just get Yulu.
"Boom... Boom... Boom..."There was a sound of drumming from the front of the palace, and after hearing the drum, the two people standing in place looked at each other.
In the past, when I heard this kind of drumming, I would be very excited, and I would immediately run to the government office to watch what was happening; But now, as soon as I heard this drum sound, it made people angry, a few times if it wasn't for Cui Qi stopping Chen Wei, Chen Wei would have smashed this thing a long time ago, if it wasn't for it, how could it have stayed until now!
Chen Wei said quite embarrassedly: "It's early, I said that I was living peacefully, but now someone is coming to beat the drum and voice my grievances, this is like falling into the evil spirit, it's okay not to say it, as soon as I say it, all the brains are here!" ”
Cui Qi only smiled, the new prefect has not yet come, so now the judgment case is borne by the two brothers.
"Okay, don't knock, my lord is waiting for you inside!" A catcher stopped him beating the drum and impatiently drove him in.
"The grass people knock to see the adults! You have to help me, my lord! The man who knelt on the ground said with tears streaming down his face that it felt like a dead daughter-in-law.
"Who's on his knees, and who's his name? What is drumming? "Let us help you, then you have to tell me what happened, that's it, who will help!
"The grass people are called Li Si, I raised a cow, this cow has been with me for a long time, every time I see him, it is like seeing my father, but one day, I found that he was gone, on the road, I saw traces, and the last place where the traces disappeared was Zhang San's home, so Zhang San stole my cow, my lord, you must be the master for me!"
After listening to this statement, the two were directly speechless, but they didn't show any other expressions, just stared at Li Si with an indifferent smile.
"Do you want to do this? Exercise your business ability, and I won't get involved. Chen Wei whispered to Cui Qi.
As a prison director, most of the cases handled by Chen Wei are homicide cases, and this kind of trivial case of stealing cattle is really a bit cheap.
"Don't say it, I have already seen the little Jiujiu in your heart, I am the roundworm in your stomach, let's try it together!"
Chen Wei thought in his heart how could Cui Qi not know, after all, they have been partners for almost ten years, so let's talk about the tacit understanding between the two, it is also a bargain!
"I saw the traces, which can't be used as direct evidence, do you have any other evidence?" Chen Wei said expressionlessly, he really didn't want to try such a simple case.
"I have, the next day I saw him leading my cattle out to sell, I hurried out to stop but he beat back, as soon as the cow saw me, he went to me with all his might, to make me close, why is this not my cow, you say!"
The more Li Si said, the more excited he became, just like he had already been enchanted, others were crazy about love, but this guy was good, crazy about cows.
"Bring Zhang San to me!"
A rather wealthy man stepped forward, knelt down and said, "The grass people knock on the adults, I don't know what the adults are looking for me?" ”
"Li Si said that you stole his cow, and he wanted to get his cow back yesterday, and you beat him, is there such a thing?"
Chen Wei could see at a glance that Zhang San was definitely pretending, pretending not to know anything, so that he could get out unharmed.
"I did see him yesterday, but the cow is mine, and if he wants to rob my ox, will I not beat him too? I'm fighting back in self-defense! ”
Zhang San looked like he was scheming, as if everything was under his control, and he had the chance to win.
"You fart, you don't have a cow at all, as soon as my cow is gone, you others will pull the cow out to sell, besides, we are neighbors, don't think I don't know the bad things you did!"
The more Li Si spoke, the more excited he became, and at first glance he was an honest man, and he was already crying urgently, maybe this cow was his life.
"The cattle contract I bought is still here, why do you say that I stole you, and you have no evidence, not to mention that I didn't steal, my daughter has always been raised by my second uncle, I'm going back these days, I'm going to go out to the suburbs to plow, don't you want to frame me, let me pay you two silver, I'll tell you wishful thinking!"
Zhang San's expression did not change from beginning to end, and he also presented the contract to Chen Wei and them, and after Chen Wei and Cui Qi read it, they found that this contract was indeed true.
Since this contract is true, where did Li Si's cattle go? And why did Li Si insult Zhang San?
Chen Wei and I, Cui Qi, were stuck for a while, and after thinking about it for a long time, we couldn't think of a reason, so I simply didn't want to, it was better to eat!
The two went to eat and left Zhang San and Li Si in the same place, Zhang San and Li Si didn't look at each other, because they got angry when they saw it!
