Time flies, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

On this morning, people started to get busy very early, and the streets were full of people, which seemed to be particularly lively, and it turned out that it was the day of the market again.

"Knock! knock!"

The sound of three drums suddenly came from the sky, which made the originally lively atmosphere much quieter for a while, this is the sound of the drum, it has not sounded for a long time.

As soon as the drum sounds, its sound will spread far away, and the entire Qiuping County can hear it.

The drum of grievances also hides the power of chess in this world, so that everyone can hear it clearly, but it will not feel deafening.

As soon as the drum sounded, needless to say, I knew that someone must have complained, and this situation was extremely rare, and at that moment, a group of people flocked to the yamen of Qiuping County like a wave.

The people who beat the drum were not just one person, but more than a dozen people, and at this time, they all had angry faces, holding Ling's Yunfeng in their hands, and were waiting at the yamen.

The leader is Li Zhixiong, the head of the Li family, who holds his head high and puts on an arrogant appearance.

"Squeak", the door was opened, only to hear a "pop" startled wood, and then a loud shout came: "Shengtang!"

"Wei~~Wu~~", the officials shouted at the top of their voices.

I saw that above the public court, Yang Zhixian was sitting majestically on the official seat in an official uniform, and Master Huang was sitting on the lower right, and on both sides stood the officials holding water and fire sticks, majestic.

Above the public hall, there is a plaque with four big characters written on it: "Knowing the Details".

Yang Zhixian's expression was serious, and he slapped the shocked wood again, and shouted loudly: "Pass the drummer to the hall!"

After the words were spoken, more than a dozen people, led by Li Zhixiong, stepped into the public hall together, knelt down on one knee together, and bowed to Yang Zhixian.

The law of the Great Liang, those who have no merit and fame, see the county and kneel, only those who are famous in chess can be exempted from kneeling in front of the hall, and those who are famous in chess can even sit in the court.

Li Zhixiong held the paper in both hands and said loudly: "Li Zhixiong, a grass citizen, was entrusted by the villagers to sue the Lingjia tea merchant for selling poisonous tea, and a total of 42 families were victimized, 15 were seriously ill, and 28 were light.

"Please know that the county is the master of the people!", the others shouted in unison.

Master Huang got up and took the paper and presented it, and after Yang Zhixian took a cursory tour, he said to the head catcher: "Sun Zhutou, quickly pass on the Ling family Ling Hong and others to the court!"

immediately pulled out the order sign and threw it directly to Sun Zhutou.

"Humble command!"

Sun Zhutou took the order and saluted, and then took the two officials and walked quickly in the direction of Lingfu.

......

Ling Mansion, inside the small courtyard.

Ling Hong was pacing back and forth in it, his face was full of anxiety, and he muttered to himself: "It's over, it's over, three times the drum of grievances, someone must have sued my Ling family in court, how can this be good?"

"Dad, what are you bothering about?"

At this time, Ling Yi walked over, because it was still early and he had just had breakfast, so he didn't go to the teahouse.

"Xiao Yi, you should have heard the drum just now!"

"Yes!"

Ling Yi nodded and said slowly, "Dad is worried that someone will sue the Ling family in court?"

"Isn't it!"

Ling Hong sighed: "Now that our Ling Clan's Yunfeng is in the limelight, and the Li family and the Zhao family are even more eyeing each other, I estimate that the two of them must be deliberately involved, so that the villagers can fight the drum of injustice." ”

Ling Yi's face changed when he heard this, he didn't expect the Li family to be impatient so quickly, and began to use this method to deal with the Ling family.

"If it is really the Li family that takes the lead, my father doesn't need to be too anxious, I just found out new information recently, and this time I went to court, the Ling family can take this opportunity to rehabilitate!"

"How do you say this?", Ling Hong's eyes lit up.

Ling Yi immediately leaned over to speak, and after a while, Ling Hong said angrily, "Is it really the Li family that is framing us? Why didn't you tell me earlier!"

Ling Yi smiled bitterly: "Without the most direct evidence, how dare I talk nonsense? What's more, my father is so busy with the tea thing, doesn't it make you more stressed to tell you about it?"

"That's it! No evidence, these are all speculations!"

"Dad, I'll go to court in a while, let me confront the Li family!"

"You're coming?"

Ling Hong pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Okay, anyway, I don't have anything to say when I go to court, didn't you find out the clue?

"Master, young master!"

Ling Baihe walked over and said respectfully: "Master, Sun Zhutou is here, saying that he sent you to the court on the order of the magistrate!"

"It's time to come or it's coming!"

Ling Hong sighed, and took Ling Yi and Ling Baihe to the outside of the mansion, where Sun Zhutou and they were waiting.

Sun Zhutou clenched his fists and said, "Master Ling, the magistrate has sent you to the Yamen!"

"There is a message from Lao Sun to catch the head, please!", Ling Hong returned the salute.

"Come with me!"

Sun Zhutou walked in front, followed by Ling Hong and Ling Yi, and the other two officials broke behind.

Seeing them go away quickly, Ling Baihe's heart was full of anxiety and sighed helplessly.

After a long time, they finally came to the Yamen, and when the villagers saw Ling Hong and Ling Yi coming, they couldn't help but scold.

"Ling Hong, you are finally here, hmph, today the villagers will sue you in court, just to bring you to justice!"

"Today is the retribution of your Ling family, I think this time, Yang Zhixian will definitely sentence you to more than ten years in prison, and it's too late to regret it now!"

"I really can't imagine that your Ling family will have today, selling dog meat with sheep's heads all day long, doing all the unseemly things, I'm sorry!"

"Silence!

Sun Zhutou drank sharply, and everyone closed their mouths, but there was still a strong hatred in their eyes.

Sun Zhutou snorted coldly, didn't say a word, and stepped into the court first, and handed back the order to Yang Zhixian: "Lord Qiyu, Ling Hong's father and son have arrived outside the yamen!"

Yang Zhixian nodded and said loudly: "Spread Linghong's father and son to the court!"

After speaking, Ling Hong and Ling Yi entered the court, and the first thing they saw at first glance was Li Zhixiong, who was half-kneeling on the side, looking at this side with a smug gaze.

Ling Yi's face changed, thinking that it was indeed the Li family who took the lead in suing the Ling family in court, and it seemed that they couldn't wait to defeat the Ling family.

"The grass people have seen Lord Zhixian!", Ling Hong and Ling Yi knelt down on one knee on the other side and made a big salute.

"Smack!"

Yang Zhixian was shocked, the audience was silent, his face was expressionless, and he said majestically: "The existing complaint against Ling Hong, a tea merchant in Lingfu, sold substandard tea, causing forty-two families in this county to fall ill, do Ling Hong's father and son have anything to say?"

"This ......", Ling Hong sweated on his forehead, not knowing how to say it.

"Lord Qiyu, student Ling Yi has something to say!", Ling Yi's voice sounded neither humble nor arrogant.

"Speak!"

"On the surface, it is indeed Ling's Yunfeng who has been mixed with a small amount of toxin, which caused the villagers to fall ill after eating the tea, but this is only the surface, in fact, it is not my Ling family who poisoned it, the perpetrator is someone else!"

"What did you say?", Yang Zhixian's face changed, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Li Zhixiong immediately arched his hand and said: "Lord Qiyu, he is lying! Obviously, the Ling family deliberately adulterated tea with poison in order to cut corners and make black money!"

"Shut up! The county hasn't asked you yet!", Yang Zhixian snorted.

"Ling Yi, you go on!"

"Yes!"

Ling Yi sorted out his thoughts and said slowly: "Actually, my Ling family Yunfeng will strictly inspect the tea leaves before packaging, so my family's tea leaves actually don't have any problems, but someone has malicious intentions and wants to frame my Ling family, so they secretly transfer the tea leaves in some way." ”

"You lie, you lie, how can you speak with a clear conscience!", an old man gritted his teeth in anger.

"You black businessmen, you dare to talk nonsense in court, it's just extremely hateful, hateful!"

"Ling Yi, it turns out that you and your father are both virtuous, hypocrites, and really villains!"

"Silence!

Yang Zhixian was shocked, and his strong voice was even more deafening, so frightened that everyone in the hall didn't dare to speak.

Li Zhixiong sneered disapprovingly, and cast a mocking glance at Ling Yi, as if he was looking at an idiot.

Ling Yi happened to meet his eyes and continued: "In fact, the real culprit is the head of the Li family, Li Zhixiong!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Zhixiong's face suddenly changed in fright, and the others were also surprised.

"Nonsense! That kid is clearly nonsense!"

"Damn! It is shameless to frame the head of the Li family in turn!"

"I've never seen such a shameless person!"

The plaintiffs in the hall spoke viciously, but their voices were very small and they did not dare to make a noise directly.

"My lord, look at him...... He's clearly lying!", Li Zhixiong's face was angry.

Yang Zhixian was also a little unconvinced, but he was also curious, could it be that there was another article in this case?

Gently glanced at Li Zhixiong, saw that his face became a little unnatural, and immediately said to Ling Yi: "Ling Yi, you talk carefully, but everything must pay attention to evidence, this county will not listen to anyone's one-sided words!"

"The student knows, but before he speaks, the student has a few words to ask the plaintiff!"

"Accurate!"

"Thank you, sir!"

Ling Yi arched his hand, turned his head to the plaintiffs, and said, "May I ask everyone, after you bought the Ling Clan's Yunfeng and left the tea house, did you meet Li Yuan of the Li family, or someone else?"

This sentence made the plaintiff unclear, but it made Li Zhixiong's face change, and he felt that something was wrong with him.

At this time, the old man said: "Hearing you ask, I remembered that after I bought Ling's Yunfeng that day, I did meet Li Yuan's kid, and he invited me to drink." ”

"I also met Li Yuan, when he accidentally knocked me down, and I reprimanded him severely, but what does this have to do with the case?"

"The person I met was Li Hua, I bought too many things that day, and it was he who helped me carry the bag. ”
