Fan Ning lit a long-term incense stick outside the windowsill, and by the end of the shift, Su Liang and Duan Yu had fallen asleep, and the sound of even breathing came from the bed of the two.

Although Fanning was very tired, he still endured his sleepiness and waited patiently for news.

At this moment, there was a slight movement on the windowsill, and someone gave a low 'snort', and Fanning immediately turned over and got up, took out a long folded piece of paper from the drawer, and handed it through the crack in the window.

The person outside the window took the note, and it quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Fanning's heart fell to the ground, and he lay back on the bed, and after a while, he also quietly fell asleep.

．．．．．．．

The first watch time has passed, but Zhang Yi, the chief professor of Gufeng Academy, has been unable to sleep for a long time, he has never been so excited as today.

Everything was as he expected, Fanning really brought a large number of freshmen to the Qinxue Building to protest and demonstrate.

Article 2 of the school rules clearly states that those who gather to make trouble or demonstrate without the consent of the county school will be expelled from the organizers and main participants the first time they will be persuaded and warned.

Zhang Yi is looking forward to Fan Ning leading the freshmen to march and protest again for the second time tomorrow, and it will be up to Zhao Xiuwen to deal with it at that time?

Zhang Yi is nearly sixty years old, and has been a professor at the county school for nearly 30 years, and eight years ago, with the support of Yang Han, who had just been promoted to the county leader, he became the deputy professor and the chief professor of Gufeng Academy.

Since then, money has been rolling in, and every year he just uses the number of auditors to collect thousands of yuan, and at the same time, there are more than 100 bastard students in Gufeng Academy, which also allows him to collect more than 1,000 yuan a year.

That's not all, there are also disciples' filial piety during the New Year's holidays, which also makes him earn a lot of money.

The other three chief professors have only more than 20 disciples under their names, all of whom are the best students, while his disciples are as many as 100 people, basically all of whom are children of rich families, as long as they are willing to pay for filial piety, he will accept them as disciples.

Of course, Zhang Yi also has his own advantages, he has an elder brother who is a teacher in Fuxue, and he will participate in the Pingjiang Mansion exam every time.

As a result, Zhang Yi would get some hints that he would be able to bet on one or two test questions every time he took the imperial examination, so he became famous, and his students who took refuge in him naturally flocked to him every year, making him earn a lot of money.

Especially on the eve of the imperial examination, if he didn't take out fifty yuan of filial piety money, he didn't want to take his two most critical secret classes.

Zhang Yi loves money like life, especially gold, even more important than his parents.

He was reluctant to eat, reluctant to wear, lived frugally, and he was very stingy with every penny, so he exchanged all the money he collected for gold and kept it secret.

In the past eight years, he has saved 3,000 taels of gold, weighing 200 catties, in an iron box.

Zhang Yi closed the doors and windows, took out a bunch of keys from his waist, opened more than a dozen large iron locks in a row, and pushed open a small door.

Inside was a very small room, about three or four square meters, with a large wooden box wrapped in tin sheets, and a large heavy lock on it.

He opened the lock, slowly pushed the lid of the box, and suddenly a flash of golden light came to his face, and the gold ingots shimmered with a charming luster.

Zhang Yi's eyes flashed with greed and intoxication, and he couldn't help but 'Ga! Ga! He laughed.

He suddenly remembered something, and his smile slowly faded, and his face turned iron.

He's bang! He closed the lid of the box with a bang, gritted his teeth and said: "Cutting off people's wealth is like killing your parents, Zhao Xiuwen, I see how you escaped this catastrophe!" ”

．．．．．．．．

After Lu Youwei bandaged the wound, he was sent home by his brother to rest for two days.

The students resumed their normal routines, and at noon the next day, Fan Ning, Su Liang, and Duan Yu came to the Wuxian County Office to observe the county order trial.

The people living in the city in the Song Dynasty were famous for being good at lawsuits, Zhang San stole the sesame seeds that Li Si dried, and the shoes Li Si wore were a bit like the ones Zhang San lost last year.

As for all kinds of contract disputes and various sales disputes, they are endless, so they also feed a large number of tooth people and litigators who rely on litigation for a living.

It is also very convenient for people to go to court, and the fees are cheap, find a tooth person, tell the dissatisfaction in their hearts, take out more than 100 yuan, and then don't worry about it.

The tooth man will help you do the rest, he will find a lawyer to write a complaint, and then come to ask for your opinion, if you are not satisfied, you will rewrite it, and if you are satisfied, you will press a handprint.

The toothman then went to the lawyer to file his complaint, and then waited for the trial to begin.

The complaint is generally handed over to the detention division, and the charging division will be handed over to the county order after it is sorted out.

Some slightly important cases are only tried by the county order, but even so, the county order is too busy to deal with all kinds of cases every day, and there is no time to go to the toilet.

Fortunately, there are not many criminal cases tried by county orders, and only crimes below the cane sentence are tried by the county order, and crimes above the prison sentence are sentenced by the governor, and then the criminal officers from all walks of life will conduct inspection and supervision.

Fan Ning and the three of them just came to the county office, and in front of the county government hall, they saw that the lively idlers had been crowded into the three floors inside and three layers outside, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to enter and find a suitable seat.

At this time, Fan Ning suddenly heard someone call him, "Fan Shaolang! ”

Fanning turned around and saw a burly man standing behind him.

"Lu Dutou!"

Fan Ning was surprised, the person behind him was actually the head of Lu Yougen, didn't he go to Jiangning County with Li Yun? Why is it still in Wu County?

Lu Yougen's expression was a little embarrassed, and he smiled bitterly and said, "I am now the deputy head of the capital, and the chief archer." ”

The archer is to catch fast, if the head of the capital is the director of the public security bureau, then now Lu Yougen has been demoted to the captain of the criminal investigation team.

There are a total of three deputy heads in the county government, one is in charge of archers, one is in charge of hand power, that is, ordinary officials, and one is in charge of solving the son and foot power, which is responsible for delivering letters.

"And who's the head now?" Fanning asked with another smile.

Lu Yougen shook his head, "It's not settled yet." ”

Seeing that there were no outsiders on the left and right, he whispered to Fanning: "The county commander and the county lieutenant are wrestling their wrists!" ”

Fan Ning nodded, and smiled at Lu Yougen: "These two are my classmates, we are studying the law these days, so I want to come and practice it, and see if it is convenient for Lu Dutou to arrange it!" ”

Lu Yougen knows Fan Ning very well, and he is the most important thing for Zhu Daguan, and Gao Xianling is the protégé of the Zhu family, with this relationship, I believe that Gao Xianling will be happy to receive Fanning.

"Fan Shaolang waits, I'll report to you."

"Let's go!"

Lu Yougen pushed away the idlers and squeezed in, Fan Ning gave Su Liang and Duan Yu a look, and the three of them also squeezed in.

Today's trial is not in the lobby, but in the courtyard next to the lobby, where two lawyers are fighting fiercely, while the two plaintiffs and the defendant are standing leisurely on the sidelines, as if they are also watching the excitement.

The plaintiff didn't take the lawsuit to heart, and the defendant didn't take it seriously, and after the trial, the two went home and still did their own thing.

The Song Dynasty is probably the smallest dynasty in all dynasties, especially the county government, which is open and close to the people, and everyone else is standing except for the county order Gao Fei sitting in the pavilion.

The plaintiff and the defendant did not kneel, but stood on each side, and the plaintiff also took two sips of tea from time to time.

At this time, Lu Yougen whispered a few words to the priest next to him, and the priest nodded, and then reported to the county commander Gao Fei in a whisper.

Goofy also saw Fanning and his two classmates, smiled, and asked Oshishi to arrange for them to sit down and listen.

Lu Yougen moved three chairs and said with a smile: "Three little officials, please sit down, there is something going on, go out first." ”

"Lu Dutou is free!"

Fan Ning took Su Liang and Duan Yu to sit down, and soon, the two hands brought them tea.

Su Liang was surprised and asked in a low voice, "Fanning, do you know the new county order?" ”

Fan Ning smiled slightly: "We had dinner together a few days ago, and we just knew each other. ”

The two didn't ask any more questions, and watched the county order trial together.

The case is very simple, the plaintiff and the defendant are neighbors, and after the Chinese New Year, the plaintiff pickled the meat and fresh fish left over from the New Year into salted meat and salted fish to dry on the roof of the house, only to find that they were missing two days ago.

The plaintiff argued that it was impossible to steal anything other than the defendant's house, and that if the thief had been able to go to the roof, he would not have stolen only salted meat and salted fish.

Fanning and the three listened with great interest, but the county magistrate Gao Fei yawned a lot, and had to work hard to try the case.

"You two litigators don't quarrel, it's just three bowls of tofu and three bowls of tofu, it's very boring, let the plaintiff and the defendant come up, and the official will ask them a few words."

The defendant's surname is Li, and his family makes tofu, so Gao Fei asked him: "Oshiji went to your house to see, and your house can go directly to the roof by opening the skylight, which is indeed more convenient, and there are also a few pieces of bacon in your stove, what do you say?" ”

The defendant is a male duck voice, he crossed his waist with his left hand, waved his right hand, and said in a unique and high-pitched voice: "This reason is not right, which house in Pingjiang Mansion does not marinate a little salted meat during the New Year, of course my family's bacon is salted by myself, and besides, it is not only my house that can go to the roof, there are so many wild cats around, why doesn't the county magistrate interrogate them?" ”

Goofy nodded, and asked the plaintiff again, "What do you say that the defendant thinks that the wild cats around you stole your family's salted meat and salted fish?" ”

The plaintiff, surnamed Zhang, was in his twenties, was a scholar with beautiful eyebrows, and his family had 100 acres of fertile land outside the city, and he lived on tenant rent.

The plaintiff raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "The student knows that it was stolen by the cat, and it was his yellow cat who stole it, and that area is the territory of his yellow cat, and other cats dare not approach."

These days, his yellow cat howls outside the window every night, which seriously affects the students' revision of their homework, and asks the county magistrate to arrest the yellow cat for theft.

In addition, their husband and wife always grind tofu in the middle of the night, which also greatly affects the students' reading. ”

The people who watched the excitement outside laughed, and the three of Fanning also laughed back and forth.

Duan Yu covered his mouth and smiled: "This plaintiff is very interesting, he is not actually suing his neighbor for stealing meat, but he thinks that the neighbor is too noisy, including the neighbor's cat." ”

Fanning smiled: "This is called fishing law enforcement, if you don't release a few fish, how can a yellow cat commit a crime?" ”

Su Liang gave a thumbs up, "Gao Ming, I'm still a great reader!" ”

Gao Fei smiled dumbly, nodded and said to the defendant: "It is really hard for scholars to study day and night, this official ordered you to keep the cat in a cage at night, and it is not allowed to howl, if the plaintiff comes to sue again, this official will send someone to catch the cat." ”

The defendant's face was full of frustration, so he had to bow down and say, "The villain obeys!" ”

Gao Fei said to the plaintiff again: "Although you study hard, they also work hard to make tofu, it is normal to grind tofu in the middle of the night, I let them be as quiet as possible, you also have to be considerate of them, in addition, you go to bed early at night, day and night are reversed, what will you do in the future?" ”

"Students remember!"

Gao Fei said: "As for the disappearance of salted meat and salted fish, the evidence to sue the neighbor is insufficient, and the basis for filing the case is not sufficient, so the county will not accept it, and this case is over!" ”

"Leave the hall first and rest for half an hour!"

Gao Fei immediately ordered someone to invite Fanning and the three of them to the back hall to talk.
