5. Unjust cases

Song Guoying, the commander of Yunan County, is a cool official, advocating strict punishment and strict laws, and the laws are harsh, and he will punish the people under the hall at every turn. But this man is very good at being an official, and has hardly offended any of his superiors or colleagues.

Along the way, Fang Ping had already prepared a draft of the pleadings. With so many witnesses present at the time of this incident, the Yang family is absolutely undeniable. It's just that what makes him feel unbelievable is the reason why the Yang family did this, why there is such a rebellious behavior.

Is it expected to be able to eat them? Or is there another intention? Or maybe the rich man of the sheep really eats too much mutton and has a seizure of epilepsy? Sheep...... Suddenly, he remembered yesterday's incident, the crazy screaming flower with yellow teeth.

If you meet a sheep, you will retreat...... Could it be that this is the case? But I didn't retreat, and it didn't seem to be anything serious......

didn't have to think about it, he had already arrived at the yamen, Fang Ping also restrained his thoughts and strode into the court.

Both sides of the hall were full of officials, Song Guoying sat in the hall with a righteous face, and the master also stood aside, looking like he had been waiting for a long time.

As soon as Fang Ping came to the front of the hall, Song Guoying's pair of eagle eyes kept staring at him, seeing that he looked indifferent, strolling around and looking around all the way, he didn't put himself in his eyes at all, and he couldn't help but be angry.

The phoenix is going to be in trouble, what is there to do with the little chicks.

"Smack!"

Song Guoying picked up the shocked wood and knocked on the table: "Who is in the hall, why don't you kneel when you get to the court?" ”

Kneel?

Fang Ping glanced at Song Guoying, this guy didn't know himself. What's going on? Want to give yourself a dismount?

It seems that as soon as the tiger came down the mountain, the monkey couldn't help but jump out.

This well-known cool official is in front of his father, but in front of the saddle and behind the horse, like a dog's leg. Why, so soon, you have to turn your face and deny people?

Fang Ping bowed his hand, neither humble nor arrogant: "Ping below, Bucai is also a showman, I have seen the county commander." ”

He deliberately identified himself, that is, to tell everyone that I am a showman, and I can see officials without kneeling!

Song Guoying snorted, looking at everyone in the hall, only Fang Ping was standing, and his heart said that he would let you be arrogant for a while, and then see how I concocted you.

"Fang Xiucai, since you are a scholar, why do you know the law and break the law, and gather a crowd to fight?"

Seeing that Song Guoying was beaten as soon as he came, Fang Ping couldn't help but feel a little vigilant in his heart. He was deliberately embarrassing himself.

"Lord Yu County, it was Yangfu who recruited a group of thugs with the intention of committing murder, and it was just legitimate defense......

Immediately afterwards, Fang Ping put out the prepared pleadings and plates, saying that they were reasonable and well-founded, and any county official could directly interrogate the defendant to pronounce the verdict.

Song Guoying frowned, this Fang Ping's mouth is very slippery, but he has a good reputation, he can't be punished if he is not guilty, this case is really difficult to handle......

At this time, his gaze fell on the Fang family servant under the hall, and his frowning brows also relaxed.

"In any case, it is not right to gather a crowd to fight, it is not only moral, but also harms the king's law. If this continues, how can I rule for a long time? ”

"Come on, first escort this servant down the hall and beat a twenty board!"

Servant?

Fang Ping's eyelids jumped, but when he saw that the official came forward and was about to drag Ah Zheng away on the ground, he was very annoyed in his heart, and asked, "Why didn't your lord punish the violent people of the Yang family, but come to punish us victims?" Doing things like this, how can you convince everyone to take a leisurely mouth! ”

"I don't need you to teach me how to behave." Song Guoying sneered, I can't beat the master, can't I beat the dog!

"You!"

Fang Ping endured the anger in his chest, brushed his sleeves and said: "Song County Order, you are acting so absurdly and arbitrarily today, aren't you afraid that I will truthfully report to the Metropolitan Procuratorate?" Heluo is not just my father's imperial history! ”

He thought that this would make Song Guoying jealous, after all, this guy used to be soft, but who knew that this time Song Guoying was as hard as taking a strong pill.

"Smack!"

"Bold and flat, dare to roar in court! Can a mere talent flout the laws of the royal state? Don't you think that your father is supervising the imperial history, so the official will not dare to punish you?

It was the prince who broke the law and was guilty of the same crime as the common people. Under the rule of this official, whoever violates the law will be severely punished, and there is no mercy to speak of. Come on, pull this guy down together, and hit ten boards. ”

Fang Ping's eyes narrowed, and he immediately understood that Song Guoying was deliberately provoking himself in order to take the opportunity to punish. I am afraid that I am still afraid of only playing ten boards, but I have to give a little color for my own face.

The two officials stepped forward slowly, and Ah Zheng, who was kneeling on the ground, hurriedly kowtowed and said, "County official, my son-in-law is a showman, and it will be troublesome for you to beat him." If you really want to fight, you can beat me ten more boards! ”

"Do you think this is a vegetable market, and you are bargaining!"

Song Guoying felt even more angry, and slapped the shocked wood again.

"Ah Zheng, don't ask for this kind of unconscious official." Fang Ping grabbed Ah Zheng and thought to himself in his heart.

Song Guoying has repeatedly targeted him, and I am afraid that he has already colluded with the rich sheep owner, but I don't know if there are other people behind them...... This case can't be closed, if you want to get out of the way......

Fang Ping glanced at the left and right officials, with his current skills, if he wanted to break through and escape with Ah Zheng, I am afraid it would not be easy. Moreover, once he escapes, he will completely fall for the other party's tricks, and it will really be unreasonable at that time.

Do you really want to be caught?

"Take him down quickly!"

Song Guoying saw these officials standing next to the two of them but didn't do anything, and urged again.

These servants are all human spirits, and they are well aware of the power of the Fang family, and they don't want to offend people. It is the so-called iron-beaten door, the county order of flowing water. The officialdom is treacherous, wasn't the last county commander pulled down by Fang Lian resolutely! They are little people, why bother to do such thankless things.

More importantly, Fang Lian's virtue is called Fang Qingtian by the people of Heluo, and he has won the hearts of the people. These officials have parents, wives and children in their families, and when the famine first occurred, the county government did not give them more than two or two meters, and they still relied on the relief of the Fang family to survive. They are grateful for the kindness of the Fang family, and they are "powerless" to do things.

At this time, the county order was urged, and they had to move.

"Fang Gongzi, I'm sorry."

The two officials said that they were going to detain people, but at this time, the head catcher rushed over in a rage and came all the way to the high platform.

"What are you going to do!"

Song Guoying was taken aback.

"Old man......"

The head catcher muttered a few words in his ear, and Song Guoying's face suddenly changed.

"Someone is coming, detain Fang Ping's master and servant, and temporarily detain them in the outer prison."

Fang Ping's face changed: "What a crime is there!" Could it be that speaking up can also lead to prison? ”

Song Guoying has stood up, "Now you are suspected of murder and must be detained pending trial." As soon as he finished speaking, the person had already walked into the back hall, which showed that he was really anxious.

The head catcher kindly explained: "Young Master Fang, the rich sheep lord has died violently!" ”

Sudden death? Well dead! Fang Ping was overjoyed in his heart, and frowned again, feeling that something was wrong, why did he die violently at this time?

"How could it be a sudden death?"

The head catcher secretly observed Fang Ping's expression and continued: "I was poisoned by someone, just this morning!" I was ordered to summon the rich man, and when I saw with my own eyes, he died with the blood of the seven orifices! ”

It's a strange thing.

His instincts told him that there was a bigger conspiracy behind this. Song Guoying is no longer reliable, and it seems that he can only invite that one.

"Lord Catcher, I want to explain the matter." Fang Ping arched his hand.

The head catcher nodded, and the other party was still very polite. Before Song Guoying took office, he had been a headhunter for more than 20 years.

Uncle Fang had been waiting outside the hall, seeing the twists and turns in the hall, his expression was very worried.

"Childe, this ......"

"Uncle Fang, don't worry." Fang Ping leaned closer and said in a low voice, "You quickly go back to the mansion to get the letter on the desk in the study, and go to Luodong to ask for that ......."

After listening, Uncle Fang nodded solemnly and quickly left the yamen.

"Please, Young Master Fang." The headcatcher made a gesture.

Fang Ping was just a suspect at the moment, and the yamen didn't dare to put torture tools on him, so he politely led him to the outer warehouse.

The guards were very polite all the way, and this cell was also the best in the outer warehouse, facing south, the floor was not as dark and damp as the inside, and even the dry straw was freshly laid.

"Just ask Fang Gongzi to stay here for one night, if you have any needs, just greet us." The head catcher had already greeted the cell boss and indicated Fang Ping's identity.

The servants in this prison include the cell boss, and most of the people in the family have received the favor of the Fang family, so they are naturally very polite and kind to him, which makes him feel at home.
