Chapter 39: Murder in the Spot

"Okay, shopkeeper Li, this official will not investigate you for the crime of contradiction, you said that shopkeeper Hong inflated the market price, and said that the purchase price of the cake is only half a penny, what evidence is there?"

The county official knew that if he talked about the smashing of Li Ji's shop at this moment, it would definitely make Peng Yue suspicious, so he led the problem to the market.

"Returning to my lord, the folk girl has evidence, the folk girl's goods are all from the Li family village, and the cakes sold by the shopkeeper Hong are of the same quality, and there is a list of purchase orders in the folk girl's shop, which clearly indicates the purchase price."

"You said that you entered the same kind of cake as Shopkeeper Hong, what evidence is there?"

The county magistrate did not comply.

"My lord, the grass people have bought the cakes of Hong Ji and Li Ji, and they are exactly the same!"

Someone shouted.

"Silence! Quiet! In the public court, the official didn't ask you, how can you speak! ”

The county official was afraid that Peng Yue would hear more of the truth, so he hurriedly took a picture and shouted.

Those who spoke for Li Yingyun were also silenced and did not dare to speak again.

"Peng Xiucai, it was the official's dereliction of duty that made Xiucai smile." The county magistrate threw his hand at Peng Yue again.

Peng Yue waved his hand expressionlessly.

"Shopkeeper Li, do you have any answers to the official's question?" The county magistrate thought that he had pinched Li Yingyun's seven inches, and he was triumphant.

"Back to my lord, the villagers of Lijia Village can all testify for the people's daughters." Li Yingyun straightened her back, "Because the Minnu is a villager of Lijia Village, when Lijia Village sent the seaweed cake to Hongji's shop, it was also a treaty signed between the Minnu and the shopkeeper Hong. ”

As soon as these words came out, the county officials were also shocked.

In advance, the poor man told him that Hong Ji and Li Ji had a fight, and asked him to call the shots for Hong Ji, but he didn't talk about this relationship.

He still remembered that Mrs. Zhizhou often went to Lijia Village, if these gossips reached Mrs. Zhizhou's ears......

When he took a closer look at the shopkeeper Li, the county official's heart was even more up.

Because Li Yingyun is very similar to the little woman who accompanied Mrs. Zhizhou that day, just because Li Yingyun had gauze around her head last time, which is different from today's appearance.

Thinking of this, the county magistrate hurriedly flipped through the complaint in his hand, and then his eyes fell on the plaintiff's name.

Lee Young-woon.

If I'm not mistaken, that woman was called this last time!

Disastrous! He actually offended the people around Mrs. Zhizhou and ordered someone to slap her!

"Shopkeeper Hong, what Shopkeeper Li said?"

Holding back his anger, the county magistrate was determined to put the blame on the shopkeeper Hong.

Seeing that the county official's attitude suddenly changed, the shopkeeper of Na Hong was even more anxious for a while, but he had to admit it: "Lord Hui, that's exactly the case, but the grass people also sell cakes at market prices!" If it weren't for the shopkeeper Li coming over and disturbing the market price......"

"Shut up! You profiteer, this official has deceived you! ”

The county official said angrily: "You are clever and deceived the official, the Tao is that the cake is highly nutritious and therefore the price is high, but the official doesn't want to, how much money have you made from it these days!" The fisherman sold you for half a penny, but you sold it to the people for three pennies! For the rich and unkind! ”

"My lord, the grass people...... The grass people just conform to the market! Didn't the restaurant sell all the three pennies? ”

Shopkeeper Hong was busy arguing, and the horizontal flesh on his face was shaking with fear at the moment.

"Presumptuous! Do you dare to compare your small grocery store with major restaurants? This official has limited you to return the money to the people at a reasonable market price within 10 days, but is there a problem? ”

The county magistrate just wants to learn about the case as soon as possible at the moment.

He also saw Li Yingyun's fierce temperament, Li Yingyun came with Peng Yue last time, this time she was in the court, Peng Yue came again, if it weren't for the great friendship between the two, how could there be such a coincidence?

If he doesn't show some attitude to punish the shopkeeper Hong, I'm afraid that the two of them will go to Mrs. Zhizhou's ears to blow the wind, and their black gauze hat will be lost.

But the shopkeeper Hong is a big local taxpayer, he doesn't want to give up on him, leave him a way to live today, and let him pay some money to honor himself in the future.

The county magistrate's calculations are brilliant.

The shopkeeper of Na Hong is also a clever man, and when he saw the county magistrate say this, he deliberately wanted to let himself go, and hurriedly responded: "Yes, what the lord said, the grass people will definitely do it!" ”

"Quit!"

The county order was given.

"Slow!"

Li Yingyun shouted again.

The county magistrate was displeased, but he had to ask patiently: "What's the matter with Shopkeeper Li?" ”

Li Yingyun saw the scene of the two hooking up and committing adultery in his eyes, a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and his voice was clear and tactful, but it revealed a chill: "I'm afraid that my lord has forgotten that the people's girl's trip is not just to ask the adult to preside over the fairness of the market price, but to ask the adult to investigate the smashing of Li Ji's shop." ”

Hearing this, both the shopkeeper Hong and the county official were shocked.

"And that matter?"

Peng Yue seemed to be very curious about this matter, but his voice was even colder.

"The shopkeeper of Fang Caihong insisted that this man was a thief who came to smash my shop, and kept saying that he helped me arrest and convict the light official mansion, how could the adult put the cart before the horse, and only paid back the money, the matter of my shop has not yet been decided!"

"Li Ji seafood shop is the people's daughter's hard work, the mother easily saved enough money for the people's daughter to buy this shop, it is easy to do a prosperous business, but the principal has not returned, it was smashed into a bad look, the villagers have seen who smashed it, how do you know that the adults do not ask the people's daughter, so they ordered their subordinates to slap the face, the people's daughter will ask for an explanation today!"

How could Li Yingyun not see that this county official was a master who bullied the weak and was afraid of the hard?

was so arrogant before, but now that she sees Peng Yue like a frosted eggplant, she is like an official like this, don't blame her for not saving face for him.

"My lord, is this really the case? Not only did the adult not listen to the plaintiff's testimony, but also ordered someone to slap her? ”

Without waiting for the county order to speak, Peng Yue asked again.

This time, the voice was as cold as nine feet of ice.

The county order was excited, and he hurriedly denied it: "It was the dereliction of duty of the lower officials, as soon as he was promoted to the court, the shopkeeper Hong preemptively sued and said that he caught the thief for the shopkeeper Li, and the shopkeeper Hong was a good citizen, and he had been under the rule of the lower officials for many years, and the lower officials naturally believed the words of the shopkeeper Hong preconceivedly......"

"My lord, the folk girl has repeatedly argued this matter, but the lord only listens to the words of the shopkeeper Hong, the shopkeeper Hong is indeed a rich party here, but if it is a good citizen, it means that the girl did not come to the city, just when she was a fisherwoman in Lijia Village, he also found a lot of trouble, and even wanted to forcibly prevent the girl from sending the goods to other families!"

"It is precisely because the folk girl has suffered too many grievances that she asked the adults in the public court, what is the standard for regulating market prices in the city? As a parent official, adults don't care about these things! ”

It was obviously a rhetoric of interrogation, but Li Yingyun said it as if he was full of grievances.

Those who heard it were sympathetic.

The county official couldn't get off the stage at the moment, and he was even more angry, but Peng Yue was beside him, and he didn't dare to punish Li Yingyun, so he had to say to the shopkeeper Hong: "Hong Baofang! Is Shopkeeper Li telling the truth? ”

The shopkeeper Hong saw that the county commander didn't dare to make a mistake, so he naturally didn't dare to say more, so he had to respond resignedly.

"My lord, it is precisely because of his jealousy of the people's daughter, so he smashed the people's girl's shop, and he didn't ask the indiscriminate order of the servant to slap the people's girl, and mistakenly believed that the Hong shopkeeper was wrong to catch someone, so the people who saw the real situation so often wanted to testify for the people's daughter, but the adults never believed in everyone and believed in the Hong shopkeeper......"

Li Yingyun said, and burst into tears.

"My lord, it turns out that adults have governed one side like this all these years, and Peng has seen it."

Peng Yuepi walked up to Li Yingyun with a smile and applauded.

"Shut up! You poor and sour talent, you dare to speak to the magistrate like this, do you know that you are guilty of the following crimes! Today I want you to know that this is a government office, not a bazaar! ”

The evil messenger led by the leader also saw the change in the situation, but because he was out of tolerance when Li Yingyun and his party escorted Li Si to the court a few days ago, he didn't know the identities of Peng and Li, but he was a civilian, and he dared to openly shout at the adults, so he pulled out his knife and slashed at Peng Yue.

The county commander saw it, but he didn't have time to stop it, so he had to watch as he stabbed the knife at Peng Yue.

Peng Yue was not in a hurry, stretched out two fingers to catch the sharp blade steadily, and saw that Peng Yue was a practitioner, thinking that he had been challenged to authority, and his heart was even more angry, and he shouted "Ah", and stabbed at Peng Yue's body.

The corners of Peng Yue's mouth hooked shallowly, his eyes became sharp, and the two fingers holding the blade pinched hard, and the knife in his hand snapped in response.

"You!"

The evil guy was annoyed and ashamed, pulled out the saber on the waist of the official next to him, turned around and stabbed at Peng Yue again.

Peng Yue saw that this person was asking for his own life, and he no longer showed mercy to his subordinates, and when the poor head stabbed the knife towards him, he slightly parted his body, grabbed the wrist of the poor head and folded it hard, the poor head suffered pain in his hand, and lost his strength for a while, and the knife fell to the ground.

When the knife fell, Peng Yue raised his leg and kicked towards the hilt.

"Whoa—"

The white dangling knife drew a straight white line and flew towards the county order impartially.

The county commander was already frightened by this scene, and his eyes widened as he watched the extremely sharp knife fly towards him.

"Ahh

The people kneeling down in the hall also saw this scene, and some of the timid ones had already cried out.

"Be careful, sir!"

The officials didn't react, but the poor man had already shouted.

The knife was plunged straight into the wooden wall behind the prefectural ordinance, and was nailed to the wall along with the black gauze hat that symbolized the governor of a county.

And the county magistrate still sat stiffly in his chair, not even daring to come out.

"My lord! My lord! ”

The master was also stunned, and it took a long time before he threw down his pen and ran to the county order to call.

"Someone! This guy tried to murder the imperial court and county order, arrest him! ”

Seeing that the county commander was not injured, the evil messenger ordered the rest of the officials.

But when the officials saw that this talent and martial arts were so good, they didn't dare to step forward for a while.

"Who dare?"

Peng Yue hooked his lips and smiled, and then said to the county official who was sitting still: "My lord, what crime should your subordinates be guilty of committing murder in front of the court?" ”

He knew that this evil man dared to commit murder against himself in the public court, and he was a master of the township on weekdays.

And he attacked himself and made a fatal move, and the county magistrate did not stop him, but wanted to get rid of himself by the hand of this wicked man.

In this small county, the water is quite deep.

Fortunately, he came, otherwise, his A-Ying would not know how much bullying he would have to suffer.

Thinking of this, Peng Yue's eyes shot an angry light again.
