"Good! This official has seen the tragic situation of Li Kee's shop, and there is certified physical evidence, since you are not cunning, you know that your conscience has not been extinguished, but because of the previous words to deceive the official, and instructed the official to almost blame the good person, such two crimes, this is not easy to sentence you to 40 canes, in order to set an example! ”

The county magistrate said awe-inspiringly.

Li Yingyun and Peng Yue glanced at each other again, knowing each other.

This county official is avoiding the important and light, and he wants to help the shopkeeper Hong escape some punishment!

Come to think of it, on weekdays, the shopkeeper Hong must have given this corrupt official a lot of benefits, but today he has to favor profiteers even if such a major event happens, which is really hard to change!

"Thank you, sir!"

Thinking like this, the shopkeeper Hong had already kowtowed to thank him, and let the officials escort him down, and he was dragged on the bench and dragged his pants and severely executed with a cane.

The two officials were only in the minds of the county officials, but because the shopkeeper Hong was so arrogant that he didn't take ordinary officials in his eyes, the two of them were angry, and when they saw that the people outside were looking at each other, they naturally didn't dare to take it lightly.

In a moment, Shopkeeper Hong was hoarse in pain.

The county magistrate quietly observed the expressions of Peng Yue and Li Yingyun, and saw that the two of them did not seem to be very satisfied, so he ordered the official to bring the messenger up.

The poor is his loyal servant, but he is only loyal to himself, far more beneficial to him than the wealthy and powerful Hong shopkeeper, who gives up, and will cultivate a loyal dog in the future.

Thinking so, he threw away the life and death sign again, and said to the errone: "Wang San, as a bad man, you actually made up a lie, deceived the official with Hong Baofang, and drew a knife against Xiucai in the public court, attempting to murder, and the official sentenced you to 20 canes and beheaded after the autumn!" ”

Hearing this, Li Yingyun and Peng Yue both looked at the county order in shock.

Although it is a capital crime to draw a sword in court, according to the law, there is no need to superimpose the cane.

It's just unreasonable for this county order to do this, and it can be seen at a glance that it is to please word of mouth, so the two of them are even more disdainful of it.

In the end, this bad result was also for his good, but he ended up like this.

But it was a bad errand, the cane punishment was to eliminate harm for the people, and the punishment of the cane made the people angry when they saw it, and the two would not plead to the county order for him.

Although he had already lost his soul, he still trembled when he heard the verdict of the county order, and the sound of wooden sticks hitting the flesh and skin came from time to time in his ears, and the painful howl of the shopkeeper Hong like killing a pig made him even more frightened.

"Execution!"

The county magistrate threw the skewer to the ground, and the poor head collapsed to the ground as if he had lost a bone.

"Yes!"

The two officials received the order, and one of them stepped forward to hold the left and right arms of the poor head, threw him on the bench, pulled off his pants, and beat him down.

The executioners were all officials who had long been unaccustomed to this poor performance.

Because he has the support of the county official and the old man on weekdays, he doesn't put his brothers in his eyes, and now that he is about to die, he doesn't need to start lightly, and he beats him hard.

Rao is heart has long been like ashes, and after all, he still can't bear the pain of flesh and skin.

At first, he could hold back his voice, but gradually he hummed, and finally howled with Shopkeeper Hong.

Although some people should be punished and deserve some sympathy, both of them are scum in the evil township, and not only did they not arouse sympathy when they were beaten and howled, but the onlookers applauded.

When they were young, the cane punishment of the two was finally completed, and the buttocks were covered with blood and flesh, and they couldn't even put on their pants.

But the official didn't care about it, and casually lifted up the pants of the two to cover their shame, and after a while, the pants were dyed red.

He was dragged to the cell by two servants half-dead, and only the shopkeeper Hong was left in the public hall and was paralyzed on the ground like a dead body.

"Hong Baofang, today the official punished you, are you convinced? Resentment or not resentment? ”

The county magistrate asked.

"Grass, grass people's clothes, it's all the grass people's fault, and the grass people don't dare to complain about adults." Shopkeeper Hong moved his lips, which were chapped by loud howls, but his voice was as thin as a mosquito.

"Good! This official thinks that if you sincerely change your ways, today's matter will be over, and you will not do it again in the future! ”

"Yes, the grass people obey."

"Mr. Peng, Shopkeeper Li, you see, is this official's punishment reasonable?" The county magistrate looked at Peng and Li with a smile again.

"My lord, the people think it's inappropriate."

Before Peng Yue could respond, Li Yingyun's clear and tactful voice sounded in the court.

Hearing this, the county magistrate and the shopkeeper Hong were all shocked, and they both stared at Li Yingyun.

"What does Shopkeeper Li think?" The county magistrate asked.

"The lord has not yet judged that Shopkeeper Hong has falsely accused others of innocence, and the people think that Shopkeeper Hong must personally admit and apologize to him and obtain forgiveness."

Li Yingyun smiled slightly, and her eyebrows were a little pretty.

"Yes, it was the officer's negligence."

"Shopkeeper Hong, do you hear that? Why don't you apologize to someone? ”

Shopkeeper Hong was helpless, struggled to get up, and then stood up straight, his feet were weak, and he fell to the ground again.

This time, the weight of his whole body pressed on his hips, which made him scream again, and he rolled on the ground.

"Shopkeeper Li, look at this ......" The county official was unwilling to completely offend the profiteer, and was a little anxious.

"The county magistrate has so much pity for a criminal person?"

Li Yingyun covered her mouth in shock.

But her voice was so loud that the people who were watching outside naturally heard it, and they exchanged their heads and talked about it.

The county official was said to be in his mind, and he hurriedly denied it, and angrily said to the shopkeeper Hong: "I can't stand up, but I don't know how to crawl over and apologize?" ”

"Yes, Grass People...... This is crawling. ”

Shopkeeper Hong only felt that all his dignity was trampled on the ground, but he had to grit his teeth and crawl towards the middle-aged man who had been falsely accused of being a thief by him.

"Big brother, it's the younger brother who slandered the reputation of the eldest brother, and now the younger brother has been punished, and his ass has bloomed, which can be regarded as angry with the eldest brother, and I hope that the eldest brother Haihan."

This was said by the shopkeeper Hong, who almost gritted his teeth.

When did he Hong Baofang suffer such a wretch?

It's all because of Li Yingyun's stinky girl!

And that Peng Yue who came out of nowhere!

The resentment in the heart of the shopkeeper Hong became deeper and deeper.

"You profiteer......" The woman who was sprinkled accompanied by the man, seeing that the shopkeeper Hong was deflated at this moment, her heart was indescribably happy, and she saw the usually superior shopkeeper Hong lying on his stomach to ask his man for guilt, and he was carried away for a while, and wanted to scold him, but was stopped by the man.

The woman was displeased and glared at the man.

The man didn't seem to see it, and said lightly to Shopkeeper Hong: "Shopkeeper Hong, please get up, since Shopkeeper Hong has returned my innocence, this matter will not be investigated." ”

After the words fell, he said goodbye to the county magistrate again, and hurriedly pulled the women out of the yamen.

The woman was puzzled and quarreled with the man, but the man said that he should not offend the shopkeeper Hong again today, and the woman felt scared at this moment, so the two hurriedly went home to clean up some softness, and took advantage of the fact that the yamen had not finished hearing the case, and ran to the woman's maiden house outside the city to hide for a while......

In the court, when the shopkeeper Hong saw the two leaving, there was always a lot of resentment in his heart, so he had to press it temporarily.

"Shopkeeper Li, can this official handle this matter okay?"

"Very good," Li Yingyun said, "It's just that the adults said it before, but I don't know if it's still counting at the moment?" ”

"What?"

The county order's intuition is not a good thing, but Fang has been so frightened that he has long forgotten what he said.

"My lord said that the shopkeeper Hong raised the market price, and all the money he earned should be returned to the people, but he can still make a count?" Li Yingyun reminded.

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Hong clenched his fists.

The county magistrate didn't see the appearance of Shopkeeper Hong at the moment, but Li Yingyun said this, and there are so many people waiting outside, if he breaks his promise, he may lose his reputation again.

It's already a big shame today, it's better to admit this statement, it's better than to lose face by being cunning to death.

Therefore, after only a moment's silence, the county magistrate nodded and said, "This is natural. ”

"Shopkeeper Hong, do you have an account for the seaweed cakes you sell these days? The money from the oversale will be returned to the people, and later the official will issue a notice from the government, anyone who has bought seaweed cakes in your store can receive money, and you are not allowed to detain it, understand? ”

The county magistrate raised his voice.

"Yes, the grass people obey."

Shopkeeper Hong is a man who regards money as his life, and now he asks him to return the money he has earned, which is more uncomfortable than asking for his life.

But now, I have to endure the humiliation.

"No, my lord probably didn't understand what the people meant." Li Yingyun shook his head.

The county official looked at Li Yingyun, and his eyes flashed.

There are many famous ghosts in this Li Yingyun, and this interruption, I don't know what kind of moth will come out.

"Although the people's girl has not been in the city for a long time, just from the fact that the people's girl's shop was smashed, you can see how the shopkeeper Hong used to be in the city, and when the lord tried the case for the people's daughter, the people's girl also heard that some people said that the shopkeeper Hong was still secretly doing tricks and feet, squeezing down the grocery store that people's fathers and mothers worked hard to open, such things, adults don't care?"

"On the other hand, Shopkeeper Hong must not only have raised the price of the cake, but everything else is much higher than the market price outside.

"Why don't you let Shopkeeper Hong return the money."

When the words fell, Li Yingyun laughed, it seemed that he was indeed harmless to humans and animals.

These words won a round of applause from the people outside.

But this completely angered the shopkeeper Hong.

I thought I would just have to pay back the money for the seaweed cake, but this damn girl wants him to spit it all out!

It's a dream!

"Li Yingyun! You ......"

Shopkeeper Hong struggled to point at Li Yingyun deeply, and his eyes seemed to be about to spew out scorching fire.

But before he finished speaking, Li Yingyun looked at Shopkeeper Hong again, and smiled even brighter, but every word was fine: "What? What does Shopkeeper Hong want to say? Do you want to say that you regret not being at the beginning, or shouldn't you smash my shop on impulse, but now the county commander is bright and impartial, and he is the master for me, but he asked the shopkeeper Hong to give up more money? ”

"Hong Baofang, you should be like this, and you still want to be greedy for these foolish money?" The county commander said angrily again.

"The grass people don't dare."

Shopkeeper Hong was so angry that he trembled, but he didn't dare to say anything.

"In this way, it is decided, and this official will order the master to draft an announcement, and anyone who has bought items from Hong Ji in the past ten years, as long as the goods are higher than the market price, can go to the shopkeeper of Hong to return the overcharged money."

The words fell, and he retreated.

The people who were watching outside were all happy when they heard the order, and they all ran to tell each other, the announcement here has not yet been posted, and the Hongji grocery store has already lined up, and they are all here to return the money.

When Shopkeeper Hong got this order, he was already paralyzed on the ground, motionless.
