At noon, the county government of Taicang County.

Today's county government is a bit special, not paving the usual desertion, but crowds.

The ragged people stood or sat under the court.

On the side, Qin Fan and Li Shimin were watching from the sidelines.

Outside the county office, the people are looking forward to it.

Many people couldn't help but weep bitterly when they saw their relatives in the yamen who they hadn't seen for many days.

There were also people who looked confused and anxious, looking for something in the crowd.

"My lord, everyone has been released, and the county has called the people over according to your instructions."

Qiu Wu came to Zheng Yuan's side and spoke.

Hearing this, Zheng Yuan put down the file in his hand, got up and sorted out his clothes.

Today, he will officially declare war on these corrupt officials!

In front of the public hall, there is a plaque on the eaves with the words "Mirror Hanging".

When Zheng Yuan passed by, when he saw this plaque, his heart was also mixed.

If it is really a mirror, how can there be so many grievances?

On the way to the court, he met the wronged prisoners, the people who rushed to hear the news, and the Master and His Majesty who were waiting quietly.

He crossed the crowd, nodded to his master Qin Fan, and immediately stepped on the public court in Taicang County for the first time and sat on the chair.

This is the first time that Zheng Yuan has opened a court since taking office.

"Ascension!"

"Wei ...... Military!! ”

The fire and water sticks struck the ground with a loud sound.

Most of the people in the hall were solemn.

And Zheng Yuan in the hall was surrounded by the county clerk, the chief bookkeeper and the warden.

The wound on Nie Li's leg has stopped.

It's just that the faces of the three of them are very ugly.

Because the prison warden Cai Ming had already told the two colleagues about what happened in the prison, 1510.

So when they see the people in the hall, they know what is going to happen today.

If it had been the usual, they would have already figured out a way to get rid of Zheng Yuan, the county commander who was making trouble.

Change to a more well-behaved and obedient puppet county order.

But now, their lives are in Zheng Yuan's hands.

Not to mention changing the county order, he couldn't even stop Zheng Yuan from opening the court.

Taking a deep breath, Zheng Yuan pointed to the prisoner closest to him and said, "Who is kneeling in the hall!" So what's going on? ”

That person had already received Qiu Wu's guidance, and knew that he should appeal to the eight grievances at this time.

However, looking at the "three bottles of evil gods" in the hall, he hesitated a little.

Zheng Yuan followed his gaze and understood that he was worried that his three subordinate officials, that is, the county Cheng and others, would retaliate afterwards.

So he spoke: "Just say, if there is anything that the official will take care of for you, don't worry about anything!" ”

A reassuring pill fell, and the man finally let go.

Thinking of what happened to him, he couldn't help but feel sad and stated:

"Niu Erhu, a villager of Wanfeng Village, Taicang County, thanks to his ancestors, has three shops in Wanfeng Village."

"At the beginning of this year, the Zhu family sent someone to me, saying that they wanted to buy the shop."

"The villain thinks in his heart that the Zhu family is powerful and can't afford to offend."

"If the price is right, even if it is a loss, the villain will be sold!"

"It's just a matter of spending money to eliminate disasters."

"But who knows, the housekeeper who came to trade with the Zhu family turned his face and didn't recognize anyone after taking the title deed."

"Not only did he not give a penny to the villain, but he also beat the villain severely, saying that the villain lion opened his mouth!"

"Then he also sent officers and soldiers to lock up the villain!"

Probably understanding what Niu Erhu was telling, Zheng Yuan glanced at Zhu Neng, the county leader.

This Zhu family is Zhu Neng's family, no wonder this Niu Erhu was so cowering just now.

Zheng Yuan slowly opened his mouth and asked about the doubts in the case:

"Erhu, the transaction pays attention to both money and goods, but why hasn't the other party given you the silver, so you gave the title deed to the other party first?"

Hearing this, Niu Erhu was also full of indignation. (This chapter is not finished!) )

Chapter 189: The Case of the Three Shops (I)

"My lord, where did I give the title deed to the Zhu family's housekeeper first." ”

"It's just that he said that to prove that I am the owner of these three shops, and to prove that the title deeds are not fake, I must check them."

"That's when I took out the title deed."

"But who knows, the housekeeper took the title deed but didn't let go, and even said that the villain had already collected the money!"

"How can there be such a truth in this world? Hands confiscated money, don't villains know? ”

Zheng Yuan already understood the facts of the case.

So, he looked at Zhu Neng and said:

"Go, find someone to find the housekeeper of the Zhu family."

Hearing this, beads of sweat the size of beans fell from the top of Zhu Neng's head.

But in the face of Zheng Yuan's threatening eyes, he had to do so.

After a while, Chen Lu, the housekeeper of the Zhu family, rushed to the county office.

Chen Lu was taken to the county government for unknown reasons, and he was still a little flustered in his heart. Initial Update@

However, when he saw that his own master in front of the hall was, he was reassured.

With the support of the master, what are you afraid of?

Seeing Chen Lu bring it, Zheng Yuan asked, "Chen Lu, do you know what I summoned you?" ”

Chen Lu said calmly: "I don't know what happened when the adults summoned me?" ”

"Villains have always been good law-abiding citizens!"

Hearing this, Zheng Yuan couldn't help but be shocked by the thickness of the other party's skin.

He raised his hand and pointed to Niu Erhu on the side, and said:

"Do you know this person?"

Hearing this, Chen Lu turned his head to look, but saw a ragged man glaring at him.

He was stunned for a moment.

This person is so familiar!

However, he couldn't remember who it was.

Seeing Chen Lu's expression, Niu Erhu was also angry: "I'm Niu Erhu, have you forgotten?" ”

Hearing this, Chen Lu finally remembered the identity of the other party.

Aren't they just those three shops?

When I did this for the Zhu family, I was praised and rewarded!

So he immediately understood what it meant.

I think it was the new county magistrate who cooperated with the lord and wanted to end the case.

So, he spoke generously:

"My lord, this person's name is Niu Erhu."

"At that time, I bought three shops from him on behalf of the Zhu family, but he opened his mouth widely."

"Not only that, but after receiving the money, he was so greedy that he even falsely claimed that the villain did not give him the money!"

Zheng Yuan frowned, and couldn't help interrupting: "Then did you give him the silver?" ”

When Chen Lu heard this, he couldn't help but sigh that this county order would not be a man.

It is said that he should wait for himself to finish speaking, and then ask the bull and tiger to blame.

How can you interrupt yourself halfway?

But after all, the other party was the county magistrate, so he could only answer:

"Naturally, it was given! Otherwise, Xiaomin wouldn't be able to get those three shops! ”

"At that time, we naturally had to pay for both money and goods."

Hearing that Chen Lu was lying in front of the hall, Zheng Yuan frowned and said:

"Since you said that the other party is a lion with a big mouth, why do you still agree?".
