Chapter 269: Decide the case on the spot
Ma Feiyi finished conveying Lord Zhou's order, sat down for a while and went back.
Lu Caiqing raised his eyes and looked at Lin Huaijin and said, "Brother Lin! Come and listen the day after tomorrow! This time, because I was also implicated, I really didn't want to go. ”
"Don't worry, I'll go, and if I know who's behind it, I won't let him go." Lin Huaijin said angrily.
Lu Caiqing knew that he should be angry, but he couldn't open his mouth and didn't know how to persuade him.
It was a bit crowded to load the seedlings and duck cubs into the car, so Song Ziyu hired a car to separate the things and put them away, so he returned home.
On the second day, the fish fry were scattered into the lotus pond, the duck cubs were still young, and the glacier had not melted, so they were temporarily kept in captivity in the duck rack, Li Qingyuan and Li Shuang were finally no longer depressed, and there was work to do.
After finishing the work at home, Lu Caiqing and Song Ziyu went to Village Chief Chen's house together.
When you enter the gate, you can hear the "cooing" of chickens and ducks in the yard.
"Uncle Village! Is the village chief's aunt at home? Lu Caiqing shouted as soon as he entered the courtyard.
It was indeed Chen Xiaoyan who opened the door, only to see her kicking inside and outside the sect, looking at Lu Caiqing with disdain: "Oops! I said, Sister Caiqing, how can you be a busy person to come to my house! I don't know who swore that they wanted to find out the truth of the matter, how long would we have to wait for the villagers of Chenjia Village? ”
Lu Caiqing frowned, she didn't want to see her in her heart, but after all, this is someone's home, and she can't hide if she wants to.
Song Ziyu protected in front of Lu Caiqing and said, "Let's come to find Uncle Village, just say that they are not there!" ”
"Not there! Go back! Chen Xiaoyan's eyes lit up at first, but her face quickly changed.
"Nonsense! Get me back to the house? A male voice said solemnly.
Then I saw Chen Youwang walk out, he put the padded jacket on his shoulders up, and walked out with a cigarette pouch in his mouth.
Chen Xiaoyan turned around, flashed to the side, and looked at Lu Caiqing with white eyes, Caiqing was not angry, and saw the village chief's polite greeting.
Chen Youwang welcomed the two into the house, and when he looked up and saw his daughter coming in, he scolded: "Xiaoyan! You go to the entrance of the village to see your mother and your cousin, and see if they have returned? ”
"Daddy! I don't make trouble, why do you send me out! Chen Xiaoyan pouted unconvinced.
"If you want to go, what's the matter?" Chen Youwang said to her with a dark face.
When Chen Xiaoyan saw it, she had to turn around and go out of the door, and Lu Caiqing said, "Uncle Village Chief!" Why isn't Auntie at home? ”
"Ahh She and her little nephew went to visit the door, and they went early in the morning, so I let Xiaoyan go out to greet her! ”
Lu Caiqing turned his head and looked at Song Ziyu after hearing this, and then turned around and asked suspiciously, "Little nephew?" It turns out that there are still guests at the uncle's house? ”
"Hey! A child is only fifteen years old! This is not the New Year, the two of them were picked up by me for a reunion, but the child has also reached the age of marriage, this is not today, your aunt took her to Li Village on a blind date, and it is almost two months younger to live here. ”
Lu Caiqing listened, and didn't ask again, and when it came to the topic, he said: "Uncle Village Chief!" This time we came to the meaning of Lord Ma, saying that we would inform you in advance, saying that the murderer of the case of Chen Yang in Jeju Prefecture has been caught, and the prefect means a public trial! ”
"Really? That's great, now the rumors can be stopped, and the Chen family can rest assured. Chen Youwang was also very happy, since he was caught by the head and said a few words, he always felt uncomfortable in his heart, the village used to be the master of big and small affairs, and everyone respected himself, but since Lu Caiqing came, things here have been beyond his expectations.
His unconscious daughter is always blackmailing herself, although Lord Lu Caiqing doesn't care about them a lot, but the disaster is also because of their family, and they always feel powerless.
Her family's big and small affairs have always caused a big sensation in the whole village, and this time it is because of her, not to mention that the case has not progressed, and the city is full of storms, and I am a little dissatisfied with her.
Hearing that the case had progressed and that the matter could finally be over, he was very happy, and his dissatisfaction with Lu Caiqing disappeared at once.
"What Master Ma means is to let the village chief issue a notice, and the Zhou Governor is sympathetic to the villagers who want to know the truth of the matter, and there is something unchanged in the public court of Jeju Prefecture, so Zhou Daren decided to come to the local case and transfer the public court of the government to the entrance of our village, and want the village chief to notify each person and every household." Lu Caiqing made the purpose of this trip clear at one time.
Chen Youwang squinted his eyes, it's okay to come to the scene to handle the case, relieve the doubts in the hearts of the people, and the rumors will end here with the cracking of the case.
He is grateful to Master Zhou, who is a good official who loves the people like a son and is sympathetic to the people.
After Lu Caiqing and Song Ziyu left, Chen Youwang spread the matter non-stop, striving for every household to be notified.
After a night and breakfast, Lu Caiqing came to the entrance of the village with a stool from his house, and helped Aunt Xia and Aunt Liu to find a front seat and sit down.
This was the largest gathering in the history of Chenjia Village, and Chen Youwang set up the tables and chairs for the trial of the case where Zhou Daren was going to sit early in the morning.
After breakfast, everyone brought their own stools to gather here, all wanting to see with their own eyes how the prefect decided the case, and the other was to know the truth of the matter.
Lu Caiqing came to the venue, watching the villagers no longer care so much about their pointing and talking, and looked up at the sky, the sky was blue.
Listening to the gossip discussions, some of them complained about themselves, some of them had a neutral attitude, and some of them slandered themselves, anyway, there were many people talking, and the chaos made Aunt Xia frown.
Lu Caiqing held her hand and said, "Mother! Don't worry, Lord Zhou is a good and honest official, and he will definitely call the shots for me. ”
At this time, a voice came from not far away, as if deliberately amplifying the voice and laughing: "Listen, everyone! Some people don't repent when they die, and they still think that the official yamen was opened by her family, and what they say is what? Everyone has to remember that if Governor Zhou catches the murderer, we will tear off her mask, let her show her original form, and see how she continues to show off her power in the village. ”
Lu Caiqing didn't need to raise her eyes to know who this person was, but Sister-in-law Li couldn't hear it, and said angrily: "Chen Xiaoyan! The master of this yamen has not yet tried the case, how do you know who this murderer is? Are you more powerful than the Great Master of the Blue Sky? ”
"I'm not better than anyone else, but no one speaks ill of me! If the murderer is found out, some people will have to go to jail. Chen Xiaoyan looked at Lu Caiqing sarcastically and said.
Lu Caiqing took Sister-in-law Li's arm and said softly, "Sister-in-law Li! Don't be like her! Waste of tongue. ”
Chen Xiaoyan also heard Lu Caiqing's words, and snorted coldly with her nose.
Lu Caiqing unintentionally raised her eyes, and saw a dignified young man sitting next to her mother, with a dark face, not tall, it is estimated that this person is the cousin of his Xiaoyan in the mouth of the village chief.
It is said that it seems to be fifteen, but Zifei and Yun Ge are not as pleasing to the eye as their own, and even the Shuangzhu brothers around him are more eye-catching than him.
The kid happened to look at Cai Qing too, and he didn't know if he was afraid of seeing people or what the reason was, so he looked at Cai Qing for a while, then dodged, and then pulled Chen Xiaoyan, who was standing beside him and talking.
Lu Caiqing had no intention of thinking about an inconsequential person, and hoped that this matter would end as soon as possible.
Chen and Aunt Tao also came out of their own house, because this is the victim's family and the key person in today's case, everyone consciously gave up the main position off the field to the two of them.
On the table in front of the main seat, the village is also specially arranged to resemble the public hall of the yamen, and it is said that there are also some subordinate county orders to observe, and there are several chairs on the left and right of the lower head, and a square table is placed in the middle, on which tea is placed.
Everything is ready, just waiting for Lord Zhou and others to go to the countryside to judge the case.
Just when the big guys were waiting impatiently, a large group of people came to Chenjia Village, some on horseback, some in sedan chairs, and three prisoner cars, and some of the sharp-eyed people knew each other, pointing to the prisoner car and shouting: "It's them, it's them!" ”
All the people from the yamen were dispatched, and along the way, they attracted villagers from nearby villages to see the excitement, Song Zifei and Yang Yibao were all alarmed, and they rushed to cheer Lu Caiqing up early in the morning.
Bai Xiaoran and Yun Ge followed Lord Zhou's team and came to hear the trial together.
At this time, the scene was no longer under the control of the village chief alone, fortunately, the Zhou Governor brought a large number of officers and soldiers to support, distinguishing the villagers of Chenjia Village from other villagers who watched the excitement.
After everyone sat down, Zhou Ru had been an official for many years, and he still recognized Yang Yibao and Mrs. Yang, this big man didn't expect to meet in this small Chenjia Village, which he didn't expect.
Although he had resigned and gone home, he still had a great influence in the court, and he was invited to sit beside him to listen, but Yang Yibao refused it, so he had to sit in the first row below.
Lin Huaijin was arranged to sit at the bottom right of Lord Zhou, and the other positions were some officials wearing official uniforms, including a Lord Ma Feiyi.
At this time, the village chief played the role of master of ceremonies, standing in front of the villagers, waving his hands and shouting: "Everyone be quiet! Today! It is the day when the Governor of Jeju Prefecture, Zhou Ru Zhou, decided the case on the spot, everyone knows it! Chen Yang, the second eldest of our Chen family in Chenjia Village, was innocently beaten to death, and in order to make decisions for the people, Lord Zhou moved the court to the entrance of our Chenjia Village, just to facilitate us to understand the ins and outs of the case. ”
After he finished saying a long paragraph, he quickly coughed a few words, which one of the people sitting on it was his top boss, and it was already very difficult for him to finish the words fluently, and there was no room for him to speak in this matter.
At this time, Master Bo, the master of Lord Zhou over there, stood up and shouted: "Just now the village elder has made the matter very clear, the villagers of Chenjia Village, my Lord Zhou has the right to know about the case with compassion for the people, and transferred the case that should have been tried in the public court to the entrance of our village. ”
