Chen Letian hadn't spoken since Liu Daming spoke, just sat next to him and listened. And Qian County Ling also saw that this Liu Xiangshi, who was very famous in Shudi, was already a confidant of Lord Chen. As long as he can speak, Liu Xiangshi is speechless, and he can be regarded as winning the debate.

At this time, Chen Letian had roughly understood what Qian County Ling had done before.

Penn Prefecture has three petitions against Qian County Order, making Qian County Order just enough to be a third-level corrupt official.

The first letter said that the Liu family's land was encroached upon by the county order, and they went to the door to theorize that they were scolded by the Qian county order, and beat the head of the Liu family, who came to the door, and threw him out of the county yamen.

The second letter is the Wei family, the Wei family is a business family in Pennsylvania, in the year of the poor harvest as usual, lent grain to the people in the village, but was ordered by Qian County to send someone to the door to say that the Wei family violated the law of usury and confiscated all the tens of thousands of catties of grain in the family. The Wei family wanted to go to Bashu Road to complain at that time, but was threatened by the Qian County Order, and the Wei family had to settle the matter.

The third letter is that the Hong family specializes in grocery business, and has a shop in the most prosperous area of Pennsylvania, and then because they did not go to honor the Qian County Order on the three major festivals every year like other homeowners, they were always found by the Qian County Order to find various excuses to disrupt the business, which eventually led to the business not being able to continue, and the family finally saved some money to open a shop, but it was impossible to operate and sell it in less than two years.

When Chen Letian analyzed the cases before, he paid attention to these three cases, and he felt very strange at the time. The three complainants are not poor, especially the Wei family and the Liu family are well-known local rich families, it stands to reason that these people have filial piety to the county order, as long as the county order is not a two-sleeved official, there will be no less filial piety silver.

Since he is filial, it stands to reason that he will not sue the county magistrate, because he is also guilty of paying bribes. Moreover, from the three-sentence pleadings of these people, Chen Letian can feel a deep resentment, as if it is a feeling that I don't want to die this time, and I have to sue you down, otherwise I will accept my fate.

But now after listening to Qian County's explanation, what Chen Letian initially expressed was very simple, Qian County's order had a conflict with these three families

In fact, the root cause is not because the county order wants to trouble these three people for no reason, but because they have all bullied other poor families in Pennsylvania. The poor family came to sue, but because there was no definite evidence, they could not be caught by the handle of the three rich families. That's why Qian County Commander came up with such a method, to fight poison with poison, and to repay the other with his way, don't you use your money to bully the poor and can't resist, then okay, I will use the power of my county order to bully you and can't live. And in this process, Qian County Ling Shun also made a lot of silver.

The point of what Qian County Decree said is that I didn't take the initiative to embezzle, I just made a windfall by the way, and if it weren't for the unkind behavior of these rich people, I wouldn't have done it at all, let alone take money out of it. So fundamentally, I'm at fault, but I'm not the main source of the fault, the main fault should be on the rich people.

If you really want to do things for those poor people, you should respond to the lawsuits of those poor people, and let those rich families who have committed crimes get the punishment they deserve in the examination and judgment of the case, and let the poor get the compensation they deserve.

These are two different things at all, if you mix these two things together, it is not in line with our Great Song Dynasty laws at all, which of our Great Song Dynasty laws stipulates that the governor of a county can use the excuse of helping the poor to embezzle. You're still so hard-mouthed, what's the use of having a hard mouth, doesn't it hurt if you touch your conscience?

According to the law of the Great Song Dynasty, people like you should be dragged out and cut things, and they are not worthy of sitting in the seat of a county magistrate at all, and they are still vigorous in doing illegal and corrupt things, I Liu Daming has handled so many cases It is really the first time to see a county order like you, it is really a reading and reading dog's belly, it is really humiliating!

"Da Ming, pay attention to the words, although this is not a public court, but after all, Qian County Ling is still a county magistrate at the moment, besides, you are all scholars, don't talk ugly like this.

Chen Letian said.

Liu Daming turned to Chen Letian and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, my lord, I know that I am wrong." ”

The gray-haired Qian County Ling knelt on the ground, his knees hurt very much, after all, he was old, and his knees were really unbearable to kneel for so long.

But no matter how painful my knees are, I have to kneel, after all, I am corrupt. This is the best way that Qian County Ling can think of. Take the initiative to admit guilt, so that the point of contention is not whether there is corruption in my county order, but whether my corruption is reasonable to a certain extent. How plausible is this, and whether it is worthy of forgiveness.

This is the point of contention between them.

That's right, Liu Daming is indeed one of the most first-class masters in Shudi, but don't argue with Liu Daming about whether I am corrupt, admit that I am corrupt, and then tell me that my corruption is a helpless move, I also have a beautiful vision, I want to help save the poor, so I do this, I don't just think about myself, I don't only set out to be corrupt for my own interests. As long as you grasp this, you can be invincible.

In addition, Qian Xianling is not weaker than Liu Daming in the ability to debate with others, so this debate, which lasted for more than half an hour, still did not distinguish the winner or loser, but in Chen Letian's opinion, the current Liu Daming is already very irritable and excited, and even has begun to speak with his brain, which is the most typical performance of the top. This is a big taboo in debating with others, it is easy to make mistakes when the mind is upset, and it is easy to lose the battle if you make mistakes. You can't win this argument. This is the first time I have seen Liu Daming so excited, it seems that even the first division of Shu is not victorious in a hundred battles.

Chen Letian finally spoke: "Speak well, don't quarrel, you have to say everything well." Lord Qian, stand up too, I can't afford the dignified county order is always like this. He saw that this Qian County Commander was sweating profusely, and his knees must be in pain at this time, although he tried his best not to move, but it was difficult to hide the appearance of wanting to move, and Chen Letian looked uncomfortable. And he had to kneel and debate with Liu Daming at the same time. It's not easy for someone of this age, I'm afraid I've never suffered such a sin in the past few decades.
