Chapter 227: Opening the Trial

Yin Houtang, the Huixian Mansion, Yu Fang put on his official uniform while trotting. Since Li Hao came to Huixian, his state assassin history has been completely reduced to a foil, and all affairs in Hongzhou are decided by Li Hao. When the people have grievances, they also look for Li Hao to comment on them as soon as possible.

The county hall hasn't been open for a long time.

Although Yu Fang was not happy with Li Hao's arrogant attitude, he was happy to be idle after a long time. Sleep until three poles a day, every day leisurely, life is also comfortable.

But today, the drum in front of the county yamen was suddenly beaten, and after a careful inquiry, it turned out to be Cui Baitai, who had been in Huixian County for a period of time.

"What the hell is going on, who is so bold and dares to arrest Young Master Cui!" Yu Fang put the black gauze hat on his head and asked what happened to his master.

The master was also confused at the moment: "I don't know, sir, suddenly I heard someone beating a drum, and as soon as I opened the door, Young Master Cui was thrown in." ”

"I really ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall!" Yu Fang's anxious one head two big.

Now the Cui family's power is famous in Hongzhou, and the Cui family's status among the five surnames and seven hopes will also rise in the future. If something happens to Cui Baitai on Fang's territory, how will he be able to sit firmly in the future?

Walking to Datang, Cui Baitai already knelt down in the hall with a dissatisfied face.

Yu Fang hurriedly caught up and helped him up: "Young Master Cui, what's wrong with you?" What kind of madman dares to do this to you, even if you tell the lower official, the lower official will definitely bring him to justice and be angry for you. ”

"It's me!" Li Hao came from outside the door at this moment, and behind him, he was followed by a group of guards from Li Jiazhuang. Although the number of people is small, it is as impressive as an army.

Li ...... Lord Zhen'an! Yu Fang's face was changing, and he was already scolding his mother in his heart.

Why is there such a mourning star as Li Hao! Yu Fang is really drunk, since he met Li Hao, not a good thing has happened to him.

Now that Li Hao is on the bar with Cui Baitai again, neither side is a master to mess with, and whoever he offends today will have a hard time.

"Cui Baitai is a sinner today, so he can only kneel. You are less nosy, hurry up and preside over the opening of the court! ”

"Okay!" Yu Fang hesitated for a moment, but finally shouted to open the hall.

Although Cui Baitai's reputation is as good as the sky, Li Hao is still the minister of disaster relief after all. The so-called officials crushed people to death, and Yu Fang did not dare to directly disobey the orders of his superiors.

Yu Fang Gao sat on the desk and knocked on the wood.

"Who is in the hall, and what crime is being accused?"

The voice is loud, but it is quite imposing. But the embarrassing thing is that he shouted for a long time, but no one answered him.

Li Hao stood in place, staring at him with a stupid expression.

"Are you sick and what are you doing?"

Yu Fang smiled awkwardly: "Lord Wang, didn't you ask me to open the hall?" ”

"I just let you open the court, I didn't let you try the case, you don't deserve to hear this case, get down!"

Li Hao's words caused the people outside the hall to laugh. Yu Fang was also ridiculed, his face was red, although he was angry, he didn't dare to vent, so he could only run down in dismay.

"General Qin of the Tang Dynasty has arrived!"

With a shout, dozens of officers and soldiers rushed into the county office, and they separated the people on both sides and cleared a road.

Qin Shubao strode in front of everyone's gaze.

I saw that he was wearing gold armor, with a golden halberd hanging from his waist, and his face was serious, not angry and arrogant.

A domineering spirit that had been refined from the thousands of troops and horses rushed to the face, and the surrounding people fell to their knees one after another, shouting:

"Grass people, see General Qin!"

Qin Shubao walked into the hall, and then turned around and shouted to the people outside the door: "Folks, please get up!" ”

Li Hao stepped forward with a smile.

"General Qin, today's case is very important, I have to ask you to come forward to try it in person, it's hard work!"

"Redressing the grievances of the people and seeking benefits is within my bounds, so why talk about hard work."

As he spoke, he took off the golden halberd on his waist and slapped it heavily on the case, making a loud 'bang'.

Qin Shubao is ranked among the 24 princes of the Tang Dynasty, and he is a noble person. This pair of golden halberds was given by Li Shimin himself. It has the ability to beat the king unconscious at the top and slander the ministers at the bottom. Seeing the golden halberd, as seeing the saint of today.

With him here, it is no wonder that Li Hao would say that Yu Fang, the Hongzhou assassin, is not qualified to try this case.

Seeing Qin Shubao sitting down, Li Hao bowed respectfully and began to talk about today's case.

"Yiguo Gong is above, and Li Hao, the king of Zhen'an, sued Cui Baitai of the Cui family in Boling today for disrupting people's lives and maliciously disrupting the disaster relief process, causing civil strife in Hongzhou and starvation all over the wilderness!"

Qin Shubao looked at Cui Baitai: "What King Zhen'an said, Cui Baitai, do you have anything to say?" ”

Cui Baitai hurriedly kowtowed to Qin Shubao: "The villain doesn't know what the criminal is!" Guogong Mingjian, a month ago, the villain heard that the grain in Hongzhou was running out and was about to face a food shortage. The imperial court has been transporting grain supplies for months in order to provide disaster relief, and it has long been overwhelmed. The villain is a person with five surnames and seven hopes in the Tang Dynasty, so he naturally regards the affairs of the Tang Dynasty as his own business. So he sent someone to send supplies here. ”

"If the prince doesn't believe it, he can ask the people outside the hall. After my Cui family's grain comes, will Hongzhou regain stability? And the price of the grain sold by my Cui family is also set in strict accordance with the regulations of His Majesty the Emperor. By no means more than half a point. ”

"Yes, if it weren't for Young Master Cui's food, we would have starved to death by now!"

"Before, because there was no food to eat, many people fled, and everyone in Huixian County ran around."

"Although the price of selling grain is a little more expensive than usual, but transporting it over such a long distance can't make the Cui family suffer, right?"

When the people heard Cui Baitai's defense, they immediately whispered.

Recently, Cui Baitai has made many provocations against the Assassin Mansion, but he really hasn't done anything out of the ordinary, and people have survived the difficulties because of his food, and their evaluation of him has naturally improved.

"King Zhen'an?" Qin Shubao looked at Li Hao.

Li Hao chuckled lightly and walked quickly to the middle of the hall: "Yiguo Gong, fellow villagers." I admit that the grain shortage in Hongzhou was caused by my negligence, and Li Hao cannot escape the blame. Among them, cause and effect are myriad, and listen to me slowly. ”

"This matter has to start from the beginning when I received the emperor's order, at the beginning, all the food supplies used in Hongzhou were transported from Chang'an, and this matter can be proved by Lord Yiguo!"

Qin Shubao nodded, he was the one who personally escorted the supplies to Hui County, which everyone present had seen with their own eyes.

"Haven't you ever thought about why Your Majesty has to travel thousands of miles to transport grain from Chang'an?" Li Hao turned to look at the people outside the hall and asked.

"Because the flood happened just in the middle of summer. A few years ago, Datang was hit by a snowstorm, and the country's grain reserves were insufficient. The surrounding counties of Hongzhou also do not have much grain in stock. Therefore, His Majesty would rather spend more money and transport grain for a long distance to relieve Hongzhou, just to give the surrounding counties and counties a buffer. ”

"This year, all parts of the country have planted the latest grain seeds provided by my Lijiazhuang, and there will be a bumper harvest. As long as it lasts until autumn, after the grain harvest in the surrounding counties and counties of Hongzhou, Hongzhou can be supplied at close range, and the imperial court can be much easier. ”

This remark was also acquiesced by Qin Shubao, and in recent months, Li Shimin has carefully discussed the disaster relief with them.
