Chapter 115: Cleaning up the village tyrant
"I'll talk about today's things later, let's talk about yesterday's first!" Master Qi has seen a lot of the world, he has never encountered anything or occasion, this kind of thing, he has his own solution in his heart.
"The official went into the house to see Zhang Zhipeng's injuries......" said, no matter how Zhang Jiande called, he entered the house.
When the old man in the East House heard that the county lord was coming, he also kept shouting that he was wronged.
The curtain of the West House door opened, Feng Yuchen was standing inside, he clasped his fists and saluted, "Lord Qi......"
"Hmm!" Qi Hengyuan entered the room, Tong Xiaowu stood aside, there was a patient lying on the kang, also with a blue nose and swollen face, and wooden boards between his arms and legs, it seemed that he was Zhang Zhipeng.
"Zhang Zhipeng, this official asks you...... Did you hit your legs and arms yourself? ”
When Qi Hengyuan asked this, Zhang Jiande had already entered the house, looking at this family with slanted eyes, his eyes were full of warnings.
Zhang Zhipeng is a stubborn person, he was bullied like this, how could he swallow his anger, if he was a stubborn person, he would not have been beaten yesterday "My lord, I was beaten by them, with a chair." ”
"Who can testify?"
"My lord, you can't listen to his nonsense, it's obvious that he hit it himself, and we came to apologize for the sake of the ancestral ancestral hall and the family." Zhang Jiande opened his mouth again to stop others from speaking.
When Lord Qi heard this, he shouted, "Someone is coming......
The officer with a knife outside the door rushed in, pulled out a long knife, and put it on Zhang Jiande's neck.
"Zhang Lichang, in the past, when the official saw that you were old, he left you a thin face, but today you led your people to bully your neighbors, and blocked the official's questioning three or four times, what are your intentions?"
"No, no, I'm ...... Isn't it ......" Zhang Jiande stammered, not knowing what to say?
The official on one side opened his mouth: "If you don't ask you, you just shut up!" ”
"Yes, yes!" Zhang Jiande closed his mouth and stopped talking.
"I can testify!" Zhang Zhiming, who was kneeling at the door, opened his mouth, and he was standing outside the ancestral hall at that time, and when he heard a fight inside, he rushed in and saw everything.
"You are the victim's own brother, the testimony is not credible, who else can testify?"
This time, Lord Qi's voice raised a lot, and several people in the courtyard replied loudly, "I can testify, I can testify, Zhang Zhipeng was beaten by their big branch people, and he was beaten with a chair......"
"Nonsense, you nonsense......" The man of the big branch kneeling outside roared again.
Qi Hengyuan ignored them, nodded, turned around and continued to ask Zhang Zhipeng, "Can you see who did it?" ”
"I saw ......" Zhang Zhipeng said the names of several people, and Master Ji wrote them all down.
"Yesterday's matter is solved, and the following official will solve today's problem." Qi Hengyuan walked out of the house, came to the courtyard, and looked at the people in front of him.
"In this way, since people on both sides are injured, except for the few people who beat people just now, everyone else will go to see Lang Zhong and compensate each other, are you willing?"
As soon as the people who made the most trouble in the big branch heard that they were going to be taken into custody for trial, they were so frightened that they turned around and went to see Zhang Jiande.
When Zhang Jiande heard this, he knelt down again, "My lord raised his noble hand, we have already come to apologize, why bother to be so serious......"
"You're still screaming? Zhang Jiande, you have committed the following crimes many times, and you have deliberately hurt people by your family, and the official has heard about the bad things you have done before he entered the village, and the official is here to tell you that deliberately hurting people will be at least three years, if you escape, the family will be guilty, what else do you say? ”
Those who heard that they were going to be sentenced were so frightened that their faces were sticking to the ground, "My lord's life, my lord's life......"
"The people on the list are in custody for trial, and the others continue to sentence today!"
Who has any mind to judge today's matter now, all the people who beat people are the sons and grandsons of Zhang Dejian, who heard this, he was so frightened that he almost peed his pants, who doesn't know, that Yamen prison is not a place for people to stay.
A few years ago, there was a thief in the village who stole a donkey, and after being caught, he was put in prison, and he was released last year, and the whole person went crazy.
The whole body is full of rotten sores, and when you see someone, you will beat it, or you will kneel down and say good things, and then when you wake up, you will commit suicide by jumping into the river, and the people in the village will see it.
"Daddy, Daddy, save me, save me......" all of the people who participated in the beating begged.
Seeing that it was useless to beg Lord Qi, Zhang Jiande turned around and entered the house, kneeling down in front of the people lying on the kang: "Dear friend, uncle begs you, this matter is over, right?" Can't we lose your money? They are all a family, they are your brothers, brothers and nephews, and they are also the pillars of my family! ”
When the old man in the east room heard this, he shouted: "Zhang Jiande, isn't my son the pillar of my family?" You broke his arms and legs, how will we live in the future? ”
"You still know that you are a family, what did I say when I was in the sect? I didn't even say a word heavy, you beat me up with your head and face, why didn't you say it was a family at that time? Now don't tell us this, you don't recognize me, why should I recognize you. ”
Zhang Zhipeng turned his face away, not wanting to look at Zhang Jiande again.
Here Zhang Dejian was pleading for mercy, but there was a cry in the courtyard, and a woman knelt down with two children in the courtyard, followed by a blind old woman and a man.
"My lord is wronged, please make the decision for my man!"
"My lord is in charge of my daughter-in-law!"
The corners of Tong Xiaowu's mouth were slightly hooked, and she knew that once this Qi adult entered Zhangjia Village, all kinds of unjust cases would definitely surface, and sure enough.
It turned out that the blind old lady's daughter-in-law had been drowned in a pig cage two years earlier, and the woman's man had been kicked out of the village and did not dare to come back.
"My lord is wronged, my man really hasn't been with his woman, it's all ...... framed by Zhang Jiande"
Three years ago, Zhang Jiande wanted to buy someone's land cheaply, so he invited the woman's man to drink, and after getting drunk, he sent him to a dilapidated house on the mountain, and then poured medicine on the daughter-in-law of the blind old lady in the village and carried it to the mountain, and came to catch the rapist in bed.
After that, the women were immersed in the pig cages, and the men were driven out of the village.
The woman couldn't live alone, so she sold the land to Zhang Jiande, and a month later, someone else entrusted the woman with a letter, and when she went out of the village to see her man, she realized that they had all been deceived, but what could they do?
Zhang Jiande of Zhangjia Village said that the sect hall is also controlled by him, several of his brothers listen to him, the woman wants to go to the complaint and can't get out of the village, this matter can only endure the humiliation and swallow it, this forbearance is three years, today I finally saw the Qingtian master, how could she give up this opportunity.
