Chapter 530: I Was Forced
The prefectural magistrate was crying under the hall, as if it had collapsed from the inside out.
But of course things won't be so simple, and the county magistrate is not the kind of person who will be defeated so easily, otherwise he wouldn't have come here to respond to the lawsuit, otherwise Chen Letian wouldn't have spent so much time and so much energy and finally fought the lawsuit from Bazhong City to the Chengdu Governor's Mansion.
This has been crying for about half a pillar of incense, the county order saw that the crying was almost, trying to get up from the ground, first with both hands on the ground and working hard, the first time I couldn't get up, and the third time I barely got up. After getting up, his legs shook from side to side a few times as if he didn't obey the call, and he almost fell to the ground again. Chen Letian almost couldn't help but help him, and then he thought about it, I was happy when he fell, what should I do to help him?
Finally gaining a foothold, the county commander held the official standing next to him, said sorry to the officer, and then bowed to the governor and the whole audience, and finally said to the governor: "My lord, I'm sorry, the lower official didn't control it, so that the lord smiled." ”
The Governor frowned and thought to himself, it seems that you have collapsed, what kind of trick are you using? It's really good, this official didn't misunderstand you, see what trick you are going to use next, this official will wait and see. said: "Why did Cao County make you cry so much? If you have any grievances or grievances, just say it, this official will definitely make the decision fairly..."
The county lord took a few deep breaths in front of everyone, and then thanked the governor, cleared his throat, and said: "Zai Xia is actually not from a famous family, Zai Xia is just a little person whose parents died since he was a child, and he has suffered a lot since he was a child, but he has not given up the opportunity to work hard and grow. Although the background is not good, but in the next can work hard to pay the hard work that others are not willing to pay, no matter how hard it is, you can endure it in the next. Because I want to be good, I don't want to suffer all the white eyes anymore, I don't want to be a dog at the bottom of the society who obviously doesn't have much ability, but can stand above me.
Take a deep breath, as if there is a lot of turbidity in your chest.
After a slight pause, the county magistrate continued, fortunately, he finally passed the scientific examination, entered the official career, and sat on the seat of the county magistrate of Bazhong City.
Although this position is not very big to be honest, but since I sat in the position, I have been working hard, at least I can say to everyone without guilt, this official is doing things for the people every day, and there is no day of rest, whether the people can understand me or not,
However, who would have thought that all this would suddenly change one day.
One day, a couple of people came to me and they told me they were from the Iron Heads and wanted to talk to me about a deal.
As soon as I heard that it was the Iron Head Gang, I immediately went to the county government to call for someone to arrest them, but they had already run away without a trace.
I didn't take it to heart, because I knew that the Iron Heads were bandits.
But for several days, they came to me every day. And the time is uncertain, it may be daytime or late at night. I was a little scared, but I didn't know what they wanted to do.
It wasn't until about the seventh or eighth day, that night that they confined me to my study.
He beat me up first, and then told me that he wanted to do business with me.
So I asked them what they were going to do with me, and they said, "Don't bring troops to destroy us, we'll give you money."
As soon as I heard this, although I was beaten and was covered in blood and couldn't move, of course I refused, this is just what I should do as a scholar and an official of the imperial court.
They continued to beat me, beating me half to death, and then questioned me, and I shook my head even though I could no longer speak.
The whole county government can testify to this, you can go and ask, after a few days I lay at home to recuperate, the county secretary and the chief bookkeeper went to see me.
Finally they told me to give me three days to think about it, and if I refused, they would kill my wife and children. They also told me what happened to my wife and children in the last 10 days to prove that they knew everything.
But I didn't believe it at first, I didn't believe that they would dare to do anything to my wife and children.
Three days later, they killed one of my family's servants who had been using it for many years, and they threw his head directly into the courtyard.
I'm just a scholar, and I'm terrified. I've never seen a dead person, a person I'm very, very familiar with, and now there's only a head left in front of me...
The Iron Heads came back that night.
They made the same demand, and if I didn't bring troops to exterminate them, they would spare my family. I was so scared that I had to do whatever they said. ”
The county finally stopped crying and then shed tears again when it came to his family, crying while talking about the past... Accusing the Iron Heads of insults, bullying and intimidation against him...
"Tell me, what would you do if it were you? Governor, if it were the wife and children of the Governor, if it were the wife and children of the Governor... What will the Governor do?" said the prefectural commander.
"Presumptuous!" The Governor was originally enjoying Cao County's performance, but he didn't expect Cao County's order to suddenly turn around and pull it on his head, and on the surface it was an example, but secretly it was not a warning to the Governor.
After being shouted by the governor, Cao Xian Ling repeatedly made a mistake, and then continued: "I was threatened with the lives of my whole family by those bandits with human faces and beast hearts, what else do I dare to do? ”
"Mingjian's fart! You are a dignified court official, and you are still afraid that the bandits will threaten you? Can't you sue you according to the truth?" Chen Letian became more and more angry the more he listened, and he couldn't help but speak.
The Governor frowned, and was about to warn Chen Letian to be careful when speaking.
However, the county magistrate took the first step and said: "What classmate Chen said is light, those bandits have very high martial arts, do you think I am a martial arts master? After saying the last sentence to the Governor, he turned to Chen Letian and said, "Classmate Chen, not everyone is a cultivator like you, I don't have a powerful cultivation like you, I'm just an ordinary person who can kill me with three or five men, not to mention those bandits who are like wolves and tigers and murderous people. Student Chen, let me ask you, if there are three or five Autumn Realm cultivators by your side now, what can you do? Those people threaten you, can you resist? Can you beat them? They threaten you with your relatives, do you dare to refuse?"
