Chapter 259: The five people are arguing in the county office
Du Yuexiao shook his shoulder at Lu Mingci, he didn't know what happened to make the entire Yunmeng Town so excited.
Lu Mingci poked his head out curiously and asked Zhu Amber, "Amber, do you know what festival you have celebrated here?" β
Zhu Amber also shook her head, how did she know what the habits of the people in the city were, their family has always lived in Peach Blossom Village, and Peach Blossom Village is like that.
Du Yuexiao sighed and said, "I see that these people are all running towards the county yamen, why don't we go to the county yamen to have a look." Coincidentally, if the crowd disperses, let's also visit the grandfather. β
Lu Mingci pouted helplessly and walked to the front of the car.
"What is the master, the county master. This group of county officials just thinks too highly of their status. What kind of county master, what the hell, it's not a good thing. β
Du Yuexiao didn't comment on this, thinking that Lu Mingci was really eating the food of the government and smashing the pot of the government.
Of course, he can say that there is something bad about the county yamen, and the title of county master is not suitable, but is his 1,200 taels of silver his salary?
Apparently not.
The county magistrate is also a human being, and he is just a scholar, so he was taken into this position by the imperial court. Some people are of course good and talented.
But most people don't have the ability to do it, and they don't have the position.
Du Yuexiao, Lu Mingci and Zhu Amber got into the car, and a coachman held the carriage for Lu Mingci and their group.
The carriage walked slowly towards West Street, but the more it walked towards West Street, the more people there were.
As they were leaving, a number of people came behind the carriage.
When the carriage arrived at the gate of the county government, the gate of the county government was already full of people, but fortunately, they reacted quickly and left in advance, otherwise there would not even be a place to watch the play.
When he arrived at the gate of the county yamen, Lu Mingci said to Zhu Amber: "You ask Lu Ji to park the carriage where we can find it in a while." Now let's go down and see the excitement first, and then I'll see what kind of person Liu Dengyun is. β
Du Yuexiao nodded, and silently did not answer, probably because of the ginseng just now, Lu Mingci was full of good feelings towards Du Yuexiao.
Then he asked, "Boss Du, are you a little ...... about this Liu County Order?" Is he flawed in character? β
Du Yuexiao shook his head and said, "I think Liu Xianling is a good person, just because he is a fledgling candidate, a scholar, and he must not be able to do well as a county master." Ay...... Of course, in your eyes, this kind of official is not a good official, and those who are talented and unvirtuous are better than him, right? β
Lu Mingci shook his head and smiled without saying a word. He really didn't mean it that way.
Scholars are good scholars, and of course scholars are not good scholars.
There are thousands of officials in this world, and there are always good and bad ones, as long as they have a correct attitude, they are all good officials.
"Ascensionβ"
Just when Lu Mingci wanted to talk to Du Yuexiao about his concept, the voice of Shengtang came.
Lu Mingci, Zhu Amber and Du Yuexiao squeezed into a good place to watch the play.
Liu Dengyun walked out wearing a cyan official uniform and a black gauze hat.
This county magistrate is an elegant man, not tall, with a fair face, an average face, and a lot of pockmarks on it.
Fortunately, his facial features are correct, and these pockmarks did not affect his overall appearance.
In Lu Mingci's opinion, appearance does not determine anything, but in comparison, it is a lot more immature.
"Who is in the hall, and what is the complaint?"
Lu Mingci just cast all his eyes on Liu Dengyun's body, and didn't notice the prisoners standing in the hall.
Only then did I notice that there were a man and four women kneeling on the ground, and a person who looked like a Taoist priest was standing next to him.
"On the night of the next run, accuse these four of committing adultery in my temple."
Lu Mingci looked at the person standing in the hall in horror and wearing a Taoist robe, and he was really Runye, and he panicked all of a sudden!
This is the backer he found for himself in the future, why did he suddenly stand in the hall wearing a Taoist robe? Is this man crazy?
"No! No way! This can't be a big deal! β
Lu Mingci unconsciously squeezed away everyone and walked towards the county yamen, Du Yuexiao hurriedly grabbed Lu Mingci.
Although he has not yet introduced Lu Mingci to Liu Dengyun, he is not responsible for Lu Mingci's accident, especially Lu Mingci's identity does not need to be responsible for his trespass in the court.
But in the final analysis, Lu Mingci is not wearing an official uniform now, which can be regarded as a "micro-service private interview", which must not be missed!
If he really rushes to the court now, this Liu Dengyun is still a dumbfounder, even if Lu Mingci shows his identity, he is afraid that he will be beaten half to death.
"Eh, what are you doing, Lord Lu, what time is it now? You don't wear an official uniform, how can you know the law and break the law? β
Lu Mingci was also a little impatient, and said: "What is the law and breaking the law!" This Runye, crazy, his reputation is gone! β
Du Yuexiao hurriedly shook his head and said, "If you are not here, Runye still has to sue these people, what can you do?" Watch the play! β
Lu Mingci reluctantly quieted down and could only continue to watch the play.
For a while, he felt that Du Yuexiao was much more stable than him, probably because of the reason that "caring is chaotic".
"Oh?"
Liu Dengyun in the hall made a contemptuous expression at Runye.
He used to be the editor of the Hanlin Academy, of course he knew the ugly things of the former national teacher, and he had long sneered at the Taoist priests in the world.
Unexpectedly, Runye, who had just been promoted to a purple-robed Taoist priest, would dare to sue the people in their own temple for adultery.
OK.
It really happened to be at his hands.
"Your name is Runye, aren't you?"
Runye's expression in the public hall was flat, without a trace of impurities, he was very calm, and looked at the county master calmly.
"It's the poor road."
"Oh...... Then how did you know that there was an adultery in your temple? If you weren't involved, how would you know it was the four of them? β
Runye stood in the public court, feeling that the county lord seemed to be speaking with thorns and aimed at him.
It's not good, it's not good.
Runye thought that he would go out and clean up Zhang Yu, but he didn't expect that he was one step behind.
"Poor Dao recruited disciples to come yesterday, in fact, he was thinking that Sanguan Temple needed someone to deal with it. This jade was put into the temple two months ago, and she was dutiful when she was in the temple, but how did I know that she was born lewd? I called a few new disciples over yesterday, and these new disciples found out about the fact that they were committing adultery in their room. β
Liu Dengyun snorted, obviously not believing Runye's words.
"Really? How do I feel so ...... By the way, you have recently been given a purple robe, and this official should give you a seat. But you are the plaintiff in this matter, and I think about it, so I should not give you a seat. β
Liu Dengyun's words were full of provocation, and the people of Yunmeng Town couldn't help but feel dark.
Runye fell into a helpless situation at this time.
He wondered if he was just a simple commoner, and when he saw the adultery of his servants, would he come to the government to sue him, and if this official would not have embarrassed him like this?
"My lord, although I am a Taoist priest and I have also been enshrined as a purple-robed Taoist priest, I have never been proud of my achievements, and I have never felt that I am a great person. I stand here today in the hope that you will be the one who administers justice for us...... Everything I say is true, I hope you can believe me......"
Liu Dengyun snorted coldly, and his prejudice against Taoist priests made him unable to look directly at Runye.
"Runye, it's not that the official is embarrassing you, although you are a Taoist priest, I should pay tribute to the Xuanmen. But...... You also know that the national teacher in front of you, the national teacher who is the only one who looks forward to your horse, has done anything that hurts heaven and reason, right? β
As he spoke, Liu Dengyun used the nails of his long little thumb to pick his ears, and his appearance suddenly became very obscene.
Runye looked at Liu Dengyun and naturally didn't say a word.
This is a fact, the national teacher did do such a hurtful thing in the past, and he had no way to refute it.
Zhang Yu looked at Liu Dengyun who was sitting in the public hall, and then looked at Runye, who was eating deflated, and at this time she was keenly aware that her opportunity had arrived.
"Lord Qingtian! Lord Qingtian! I was wronged, I was wronged by this Taoist priest. I myself am a volunteer at Sanguan Temple, and I have been doing it for two months. On weekdays, I do my duty, but this Taoist priest has repeatedly had delusions about me, and I have never agreed, so he has a grudge against me. Later, this Taoist priest finally found a way to rectify me, and yesterday he called four people to rape me. I was framed by him and ruined my innocence. β
Four striped men knelt on the ground, and they did not say a word. They are weighing the pros and cons.
Runye was actually gambling at this time, and what he gambled on was human greed.
According to the laws of this dynasty, if the rape of a woman is carried out, the maximum sentence is death, but if it is carried out with the consent of the woman, if it is discovered and reported by the head of the family, it will be imprisoned for one year and exiled at most.
With such a light punishment, if the four of them were not stupid, they would not be willing to let Zhang Yuqing be innocent.
Originally, this matter had been determined, but Zhang Yu had changed his mind......
The four of them quickly understood their situation.
"My lord! My lord! We have been wronged! This folk girl is obviously seducing us, and if it weren't for her acquiescence, we wouldn't dare to ...... together My lord, you can't just look at her as a little woman and think that what she says is true! β
One of the four of them quickly came to his senses, and they bit it to death, it must have been Zhang Yu who seduced them.
Runye, the plaintiff, also said that it was Zhang Yu who seduced him, and suddenly the county lord Liu Dengyun made a difficulty.
On the one hand, he wants to bite Runye to death, at least to ruin Runye's reputation.
But for convenience, it really doesn't make sense for five people to bite one person to death, and he can't be partial if he wants to favor Zhang Yu.
At this time, Zhang Yu made a killer move.
"County master, the five of them set up this bureau for me together in a closed environment like a temple. Then I'...... Then I'...... I really can't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River! Do you see the scar on my forehead? This is the scar left by my rebellion against Runye! β
Runye gasped when she saw Zhang Yu's scars.
That's right, this is the scar left by her search for death and life yesterday!
