Chapter 64: Lord Bai
However, Shopkeeper Li had not forgotten the purpose of his visit today, and he immediately made an extremely angry appearance.
"Yue Lingjun! How dare you openly resist arrest! You are provoking the law! Provoking the prefectural magistrate! Lord County Commander, you must not let him go, you must take them down today! ”
Yue Lingjun just glanced at Shopkeeper Li lightly, and Shopkeeper Li immediately fell silent and hurriedly hid behind a few of his guys.
"What are you doing?"
Just when the atmosphere was deadlocked, suddenly, a majestic voice sounded from the back of the crowd.
Immediately after, the crowd moved out of the way.
Zhou Yuan followed the majestic Bai Daren, and the two were followed by a team of guards, swaggering directly into the crowd, immediately breaking the confrontation.
Shen Yingniang looked at Zhou Yuan in surprise, "Zhou, Zhou Yuan, why are you here?" ”
The county magistrate looked at the person who came suspiciously, the pomp was not small, what was the way?
The county order does not say that he is well-connected, but in this small place, he is also a proper head snake, the one who walks in the front, looks quite magnificent, not an idle person.
Because he didn't know where the other party came from, the county magistrate really didn't know what kind of attitude to take, so he stood where he was, and responded to all changes with no change.
Fang just faced Zhou Yuan, who still had a kind attitude, but at this time, he put on a full shelf, he walked very steadily with every step, and the people around him couldn't help but be shocked by his aura, and subconsciously retreated.
Shen Yingniang also saw some signs, glanced at Yue Lingjun, and said in a low voice: "Zhou Yuan is out of luck and has met a big man." ”
Yue Lingjun was also looking at Lord Bai, but he didn't know him, so he didn't speak.
"What's wrong?"
Under the watchful eye of everyone, Lord Bai stood in front of Shen Yingniang and Yue Lingjun, and asked such a serious question, with an impartial attitude, but people did not dare to ignore it.
Shen Yingniang took the lead again and sued her, but this time, on the basis of Li's shopkeeper, she also brought the county order with her.
"My lord, our parents here bend the law for personal gain, and openly reverse black and white, please be sure to be the master of the grass people!"
Shen Yingniang made a look of grievance, she had seen a few officials, and she knew that such a thing as official authority could not be disguised.
Although the middle-aged man in front of him was wearing civilian clothes, looking at his style and walking posture, he looked like an official, but he didn't know whether this official position was bigger or smaller than the county order......
Of course, Shen Yingniang hopes that it is big, after all, the official level crushes people to death, and with Zhou Yuan, an acquaintance, there may be room for things to turn around today.
"Shen Yingniang! You don't want to spew blood! It is a great crime to slander the officials of the imperial court! ”
Where would the county order let Shen Yingniang splash dirty water in front of so many people, although what Shen Yingniang said was the truth, but if this matter was spread, his face would be gloomy.
This unknown guy didn't know what his identity was, and the county order was not easy to offend, so after holding Shen Yingniang, he arched his hand to Lord Bai.
"I don't know who Your Excellency is?"
The attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, before figuring out the way to come, the county order does not dare to act rashly, but it will not be too humble, in case the other party is smaller than his official position, isn't it a joke?
Lord Bai chuckled lightly and took out a token from his waist, and the county order was originally taken nonchalantly, but after seeing the words on it clearly, his face suddenly changed.
Respectfully returned the token, then took two steps back and saluted Lord Bai.
"I've seen Lord Fucheng!"
Shen Yingniang looked over in surprise, Fu Cheng? This is an official of the sixth grade, which is indeed one level older than the county order, but he is an official of the prefecture, which is equivalent to the modern deputy mayor.
The county official is indeed not as good as the current management, but if the county official comes, the current management still has to bow his head.
Shen Yingniang looked at the county order with a smile and kicked the iron plate!
However, Shen Yingniang didn't know what the character of this master of the mansion was, so she had to take a look again, and the shopkeeper Shen simply didn't speak.
Zhou Yuan walked out at this time, his expression was a little more respectful, but his attitude towards his benefactor Shen Yingniang was obviously much more relaxed.
"Shopkeeper Shen, this is Lord Bai from Fucheng, he is a private visit to Weifu this time, is there something wrong with your store? Why is it so lively? ”
Shen Yingniang understood, this Lord Bai came to administer justice, and it should have been Zhou Yuan who saw the commotion here when he was passing by, so he invited this big Buddha.
Shen Yingniang's eyes flowed with a trace of gratitude, or how to say that good deeds are rewarded? The good things were not done in vain before, Zhou Yuan still knows how to be grateful, and Shen Yingniang wrote down this favor.
At present, he has to deal with the business quickly, since Zhou Yuan jumped out and asked, it means that this Lord Bai can be trusted.
Shen Yingniang's eyes immediately turned red, this is also the ability she has practiced, and she looks like an honest person who has been bullied.
"Lord Bai! It's up to us to call the shots! ”
Shen Yingniang raised her hand and pointed at Shopkeeper Li, her tone sad and indignant.
"Shopkeeper Li is jealous that our Shen Yue dim sum shop is doing good business, and yesterday he threatened the butchers and vegetable sellers in our county that they are not allowed to sell any ingredients to our store, we put up with it for the time being, and it is not good to trouble the county magistrate, so I went to buy it elsewhere, thinking that this matter was over."
"But who knows, when we opened today, Shopkeeper Li still didn't let us go, and actually found a group of rabble, not to say that they wanted to borrow silver from us, but these people didn't say that it was because the imperial court suddenly raised taxes, and they couldn't pay taxes, so they asked me to borrow silver to tide them over the difficulties."
Shen Yingniang let out a long sigh.
"But I'm doing a small business, and I have no relatives or reason with them, not to mention that the imperial court raises taxes, everyone is responsible, they can't add this burden to me, right?"
"I said no, they surrounded my store like bandits, and there were two people making trouble, so it was useless to say that the things in our store were not clean, and I proved it useless in public......"
Shen Yingniang chattered, and explained what happened just now, in every detail, and she didn't let go of any details.
In the end, she looked at the county order with an angry face.
"What's even more chilling for the grass people, our parents and officials actually helped to abuse us, helped Shopkeeper Li bully us, openly reversed black and white, and wanted to arrest me and send me to prison."
He also said...... When did Shopkeeper Li lose his anger and let me out, isn't this just forcing the grass people to bow their heads and admit their mistakes? But what's wrong with the grass people? ”
Shen Yingniang said that she was behind, and squeezed out a tear from the corner of her eye.
It was really sad when they heard it, and they cried when they saw it, and many people who watched the excitement also felt indignant after listening to Shen Yingniang's words.
After all, they are all ordinary people, today it was Shen Yingniang who turned her back and ran into it, but what about tomorrow?
The local parents and officials can't call the shots for the local people, and if they help people like Shopkeeper Li who bully and dominate the market, will they be able to live a better life in the future?
For a time, the crowd was excited.
"It's too much! This county is the county of our people, not the territory of Shopkeeper Li and the county order, why do they bully people so much? ”
"Isn't it? Shopkeeper Shen is so kind-hearted, he even sent snacks to beggars before, these people are good-natured, why do they blackmail Shopkeeper Shen? Who's doing business easily? ”
"Isn't it? Shen's shopkeeper has a good business, that is because she has the ability, and she does not owe it to others, why did she force her to borrow silver? What's the difference between this and banditry? Ask the adults to call the shots! ”
Everyone also saw that the county order had saluted this mansion, and it was obvious that the officials of this mansion were bigger, and the situation was favorable to them, so they naturally wanted to stand up and claim justice.
The county order suddenly became the target of everyone, and after laughing dryly, he quickly stood up and said.
"My lord, this matter is a misunderstanding, just now I also listened to other people's slander, it's not like this, it's all, it's all him!"
The county magistrate was about to throw the pot on Shopkeeper Li, but when he turned his head, he didn't see any trace of Shopkeeper Li, including the guys around Shopkeeper Li.
What about people?
The heart of the county commander was half cold.
Shen Yingniang's voice sounded faintly behind him.
"Lord County Order, when the disaster comes, they will fly separately, and they will run away first as thieves, but they will throw you out as the wronged leader, but you are not wronged, after all, what you said just now, everyone present listened, I didn't wronged you."
Shen Yingniang leaned on Yue Lingjun's arms with a weak attitude, but her mouth was unforgiving, and she looked like she was watching jokes a few times.
Yue Lingjun just watched Shen Yingniang's performance to his heart's content, holding Shen Yingniang's waist with one hand and his arm with the other, but his eyes fell on Lord Bai's body.
"Lord Bai, you are in charge of these injustices, I don't know what you think about your parents' official covering up evil businessmen?"
When Lord Bai heard this, he glanced at Yue Lingjun, and was secretly surprised in his heart, this young man didn't know where he came from, he was so strong on his body, and he was not an ordinary person at first glance.
Unexpectedly, this small county town Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, did not come in vain today.
Thinking so in his heart, but his face was calm, Lord Bai immediately raised his hand and said: "This county order bends the law for personal gain, and if you commit it knowingly, the crime will be increased by one degree, and you will take it!" The people who ran away were all caught! ”
The guards who followed Lord Bai were all extraordinary, and they were much more powerful than those officials in the county order.
What's more, the officials crushed people to death, and the county orders begged for mercy, where did those officials dare to resist? All three and five divided by two were all taken down, and the other team of guards followed to Shunru Restaurant to arrest people under the diligent guidance of the shopkeeper Wang.
The eyes of the people who still wanted to borrow money like debt collectors flashed, and some of the clever ones had already run away, which was considered to have escaped, but it would be miserable to stay and watch the excitement.
Shen Yingniang deliberately pointed out a few people who danced the most happily, and the few people who were most like the nursery arranged by Shopkeeper Li, were also all taken down by Lord Bai's guards.
These are human witnesses.
Such a vigorous and resolute attitude has suppressed the people.
But this matter is not over yet, Lord Bai has to make an ending, so as not to be sticky and unclear, and let people spread bad rumors.
These people still take the matter of the imperial court's tax increase out to make a fuss, if this matter spreads, it will make a big fuss, and those of them wearing black gauze hats will not be able to run.
What's more, he just happened to be involved, and if he didn't do it well, he would definitely have to be held accountable.
So Lord Bai stood in the center with his back, straightened up, looked around and said loudly: "Fathers and fellow villagers, I am a Fucheng from Fucheng, my surname is Bai, and the nature of today's incident is very bad!" There are people who use taxes to make a fuss. ”
"I want to emphasize to you here that the imperial court raises taxes, which is a national policy, if someone does this kind of thing, for example, today, by blackmailing merchants by raising taxes, no matter who it is, they must be severely punished!"
Glaring at the county order with a look of shame, Lord Bai continued: "You parents are ashamed of the black gauze hat on his head to do things! ”
