"Who's in the hall? What is the complaint? ”

The county magistrate was eating lunch, but someone came to complain and disturbed him, and he was on fire.

"My lord, Hong Baofang, the grass people, sue the shopkeeper of this Li Ji seafood shop for defamation!"

Shopkeeper Hong took the lead in suing the wicked.

"Huh? What is it to slander you? ”

"Someone went to Li Ji Seafood Shop to smash the goods, and the grass people thought that they were doing business on the same street, so they brought someone to help and helped the shopkeeper Li catch the thief who smashed it, but he didn't want to, and the shopkeeper Li slandered me for smashing her shop and wanted to sue me!"

"My lord, you have to make decisions for the grass people!"

Shopkeeper Hong said so loudly, Li Yingyun watched coldly from the sidelines, and almost applauded his superb acting skills.

"Shopkeeper Li, what Shopkeeper Hong said?"

The county magistrate yawned.

Because Hong Ji's shopkeeper Hong is the merchant who pays the most taxes in the city, and he occasionally has some "filial piety", the county official's heart has already been biased towards the shopkeeper Hong.

"My lord, the truth is not what Shopkeeper Hong said, because the girl recently opened a seafood shop on East Street, and the business is booming, which attracted the jealousy of Shopkeeper Hong, and brought the family to smash my signboard and shop."

"And the thief that the shopkeeper Hong said was actually just a passer-by who watched the excitement, because he couldn't get used to seeing the shopkeeper Hong bully people and said a few words for me, he was slandered by the shopkeeper Hong as a thief."

"When the shopkeeper Hong came to make trouble, how many people saw it, and now they are outside the door, if the adults don't believe it, call someone to come and ask."

Li Yingyun is not slow, and his voice is crisp and loud.

And her defense also attracted the echo of the people outside.

Because everyone came from Li Kee's shop, they naturally knew everything about what happened before.

"Silence!"

The county magistrate was displeased and took a picture of the shocking wood.

"Shopkeeper Li, as you said, Shopkeeper Hong came to smash your shop out of jealousy, do you know that in my county, malicious competition is illegal!"

"This folk girl knows it."

"I heard that you sold seafood to the people at a price lower than the market price, but you are breaking the law? In this case, can the official order that your shop be sealed, and you will be expelled from the county and never allowed to return? ”

Hearing this, Li Yingyun hooked his lips, it seems that this shopkeeper Hong has already taken care of the county government, and now he is using the market price to deal with himself.

This county official is really stupid, no wonder he hasn't been promoted for so many years.

"Dare to ask your lordship, just based on a few words from Shopkeeper Hong, how did you know that the people were maliciously lowering the price, and how was the market price determined?"

"Bold! In the public court, you dare to talk to this official like this! Come on, long mouth! ”

The county magistrate said angrily.

Fang just pressed Li Yingyun to come, and the official led by the official came first, ordered someone to capture Li Yingyun, and then raised his hand to fight.

"My lord! Is this an abuse of power? The people's women will be slapped for just asking a few words, but they don't know how many unjust, false and wrongful cases there are for the people under the rule of adults! ”

Li Yingyun raised his voice and stood up, without the slightest fear on his face.

And her words also caused the people outside to protest.

This county official is a corrupt official, only doing justice for the rich, and those people who have no power and no money have been beheaded by him in the autumn as many as a dozen.

Now that I hear Li Yingyun's rebuke like this, how can I not make everyone angry?

"Dare to make a fool of the people, dare to speak to adults like this, see if I don't teach you a lesson for adults!"

The official at the head has slapped Li Yingyun twice.

Li Yingyun was caught and couldn't move, so he had to be slapped twice.

"See if you dare to make a mistake!"

The official said, with a smug look on his face.

Li Yingyun didn't say anything, just looked at the officials with resentment, a sneer hooked up at the corner of his mouth, and spit out two mouthfuls of blood hatefully: "It turns out that your class of officials is such a bully!" ”

"Shut up!" The official was displeased and scolded again.

"Shopkeeper Hong, your relationship is really not simple."

Ignoring the inhibition, Li Yingyun turned to the shopkeeper Hong.

From the time the county official ordered Li Yingyun to be slapped, the shopkeeper Hong looked at Li Yingyun with a smug face, and at this moment, when he saw that she was talking to herself as if she was going to eat people, he sighed in his heart.

"The shopkeeper Hong originally came in from Lijia Village to sell the seaweed cake in the market, and the fishermen sold it to Hong Ji at a price of half a penny.

"The seaweed cake in the restaurant is also brought in by Lijia Village, but the restaurant is excellent in terms of service environment, and the price is higher, so the people dare to ask, what standard does the county lord use to measure the market? Are the adults who help the people to abuse and collude with profiteers? ”

"Seaweed cake is good for the human body, and it is just a vegetable in the sea, adults are afraid that they have not noticed the people's feelings for a long time, and they no longer know the price of vegetables in the market, so they will feel that the seaweed cake for three dollars is the price of the market, so that a family can eat a piece of cake, what is the benefit to the body?"

Li Yingyun was not afraid at all, facing the county official, he said something generously accusatory, but it attracted a burst of applause from the people outside.

The county magistrate knew that it was difficult to be angry, but now that Li Yingyun didn't take him seriously, he couldn't swallow this breath in his heart.

"My lord! Now the shopkeeper Hong is raising the market price, and maliciously slandering his peers, the scoundrel people, if the adults are not in the same stream as the profiteers like the shopkeeper Hong, they will go to invite witnesses to see if what the people said is true! But if the adults insist on favoring the wicked, the people will be killed by the adults, and they will never admit their sins! ”

"You! You bold Diaomin! He even threatened this official, if this official does not punish you today, he will lose the face of this parent official! ”

The county magistrate shouted angrily and threw the life and death sign on the ground: "Come on, put this Diao people in prison for me!" ”

"Let her go! Let her go! ”

The onlookers at the door listened to Li Yingyun's generous statement, and were not only amazed that she dared to reprimand the county official head-on, but also admired her willingness to work for the welfare of the people as a businessman.

The officials outside could not stop them for a while, and the angry people rushed into the yamen.

The people were already dissatisfied with the governance of this county official, and seeing that his nature was unchangeable and wanted to favor the shopkeeper Hong, they all decided to protect Li Yingyun.

The county magistrate never imagined that this move would arouse the dissatisfaction of so many people, and he was also frightened for a while, and his anger turned to fear, and he fell into his chair.

The evil official at the head also stood by the side, but he didn't dare to speak for the shopkeeper Hong at this moment.

"My lord, it's not been a day or two since this shopkeeper raised the market price, and my lord can't torture this girl anymore!"

"You corrupt official, now it's easy to have a good business, and you're going to be persecuted again!"

"You are in cahoots with Shopkeeper Hong, we have to jointly write a letter to sue you!"

“……”

The people, you and I surrounded Li Yingyun in the center, and the spearhead was pointed at the county official and the shopkeeper Hong.

How could the county official have thought that he was pinched by a little girl for seven inches this time, and he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, but he was helpless.

I wanted to order the officials to drive the people away, but the officials also knew that the ants did not dare to offend, and most of them had families and rooms in the local area, and they were afraid that their families would suffer.

"Bold, are you going to rebel?"

The county magistrate calmed down for a long time in the noise of the people before he was angry and shocked, and he was about to defend his official authority.

"My lord, if you are an honest official, ask the reason for the case according to the trial process, and don't speak for this profiteer, you won't cause the current situation!"

Li Yingyun said loudly.

"Bold! Today's matter is all about you, the people fanning the flames, the shopkeeper Hong has been a businessman for more than ten years, and the official has never heard of anything wrong with him, and now you scold the official like this, that is, you don't put the court official in your eyes! ”

"My lord is so powerful."

The county official's words fell, and a deep male voice came in.

Li Yingyun was overjoyed, and turned his head to look at the owner of the voice - it was Peng Yue who came!

"It turned out to be Peng Xiucai."

The court stipulated that the county officials should not be rude to Xiucai, so when they saw Peng Yue, the county official got up and hugged Peng Yue.

"Peng Xiucai came to look for the official today, but what is the important thing? It was the dereliction of duty of the official that made Xiucai see this scene of making trouble with the people, which made Xiucai laugh. ”

Although the imperial court stipulates that the county order needs to treat Xiucai with courtesy, it will not grovel, and the reason why the county official is like this is because Peng Yue came with Mrs. Zhizhou last time, so he lowered his posture in front of Peng Yue.

Then how could Peng Yue not know what the county official thought, hooked his lips mockingly, and said: "My lord is polite, since my lord is trying the case, why don't I Peng listen to it?" ”

"This ...... Peng Xiucai said this, the official should not refuse, but this woman was very tricky, so she actually insulted the official, and incited these people to come together against the official, just afraid that Xiucai would laugh at it for a while. ”

"Diao Min has been there since ancient times, and adults don't need to mind."

Peng Yue clenched his fists.

"So, well, re-ascend! All the irrelevant personnel have withdrawn from the government, and the official will not pursue it with you today! ”

The county magistrate waved his hand, very generous.

Unexpectedly, none of the people who protected Li Yingyun left, and they all knelt behind Li Yingyun in unison.

"You guys! What are you doing here? ”

When the county magistrate saw this situation, he was angry again.

"Don't you understand? These people are all witnesses who came to make trouble in the shopkeeper Hong, and they are not unrelated people. Li Yingyun sneered and explained.

"Shopkeeper Li is right, we are all witnesses!"

"I bought seaweed cakes at Shopkeeper Li's house, and I also bought them at Shopkeeper Hong's house, so it's not unrelated!"

“……”

They all answered.

When the county official heard this, he trembled with anger: "It's the opposite!" It's all going to be reversed! ”

Li Yingyun glanced at Peng Yue, but saw that Peng Yue's face was indifferent, and he didn't seem to care about this matter, so he was a little unhappy in his heart, and secretly rolled his eyes.

Peng Yue lowered his head and pursed his lips in silence.

Seeing that her little face was swollen, her cheeks still showed signs of being slapped, and the corners of her mouth were oozing blood, she thought that she was beaten by the order of the county official.

Even his treasure dared to move.

Peng Yue's murderous heart suddenly rose, and when he raised his eyes to look at the county official, he exuded anger all over his body.

From afar, the county official also seemed to be aware of it, and couldn't help but look at Peng Yue, shuddering.
