Wait in the process.

Li Xiao handled two more small cases.

In short, it is not difficult, it is a trivial matter of some conflicts of interest between neighbors.

With the constant handling of cases.

The people standing outside the fence of the public hall gathered more and more, more and more.

They all came to meet the newly appointed county master when they heard the rumors.

Not much.

The soldiers sent out by Li Xiao pressed the Liu family, the eldest of the Liu family and his five sons, to the court.

"Get on your knees!"

Chang Yingwu scolded angrily.

Immediately, the six people knelt down.

The officials of the yamen couldn't call them, but when they saw these soldiers wearing helmets and armor, the Liu family was so frightened that their legs were weak, and they didn't resist at all, and they came immediately.

Seeing that the boss of the Liu family was arrested, the people below were in full swing.

"Hey, isn't this Boss Liu from Huanghua Village, why is he here?"

"You just came, the county magistrate asked the official to summon the boss of the Liu family, but he didn't come, the old man directly called the soldiers to arrest people, and he didn't come obediently."

"My God, this county lord is so powerful, can he still use the soldiers?"

"There's a good show to watch, this boss Liu is powerful on weekdays, I want to see how this county lord handles him."

"This Liu family, someone can be regarded as having cured him."

It's lively outside, and it's obvious that the Liu family is also the number one person in this county.

"Silence!"

Li Xiao was shocked and scolded: "Liu Cheng of Huanghua Village, the official summoned you before, why didn't you come?" ”

The Liu family is always the overlord of Huanghua Village, and he is also burly.

Those sons are all strong and strong, and the fat heads and big ears that can be eaten these years are all in the family and have some industries, and no one dares to mess with them.

Boss Liu looked up and saw that it was a raw face, but he looked at the soldiers standing next to him, and the arrogance in his heart was extinguished.

"My lord, the grass people have been wronged, and there is something wrong with it, and it is delayed, not that they will not accept the summons." Boss Liu found a reason to prevaricate.

"There is something delayed, what is more important than this official?"

Li Xiao snorted coldly and said, "Full of nonsense, come here, hit ten boards first!" ”

This board is called killing the prestige, and the prestige of the other party is killed first, so that he is afraid.

The voice fell,

The people were stunned.

This county magistrate is domineering, and he will fight when he comes up.

"My lord, I am wronged, the grass people are really delayed, my lord, you see that in the past, I donated money to the county government to repair the road, and spared the grass people."

Boss Liu immediately begged for mercy.

These officials did not move immediately, but to see if anything had changed.

It seems that the officials should not receive any less benefits on weekdays.

"Why are you stunned?"

Seeing that those officials didn't move, Li Xiao said: "Do you want to let the official do it himself?" ”

"Yes, sir."

Seeing that he couldn't shirk it, the head catcher of the fishing squad arched his hand, and then beckoned a few fast hands to hit the board.

"Oops, oops"

Boss Liu was tied to the tiger chair, beaten by the board, and kept calling in his mouth.

And Li Xiao could see it at a glance, the board was light and fluttering, Boss Liu was not too painful, and the thunder was heavy and the rain was small.

"Replacement, go down!"

Li Xiao directly ordered: "Chang Yingwu, you come to fight!" ”

"Mark and command!"

Baihu Chang Yingwu took one of his subordinates and walked next to Boss Liu, looked at the overwhelmed servant, and scolded: "Get out." ”

The official immediately handed over the stick and slipped away.

I just hit five boards, and now there are five boards left.

Chang Yingwu picked up the board, sank into the dantian, and slammed it down.

"Ahhh!!!!!!!!h

Boss Liu immediately let out a scream like killing a pig.

This time it's a real board, and it's beaten to death.

And this Chang Yingwu has a lot of strength, and you can imagine how heavy it will be to fight.

"That's right."

Li Xiao smiled slightly, and immediately looked at the officials: "It's not like the servants, it's soft and has no strength." ”

Bang Bang Bang!

Another four-board down.

Don't look at the tall and strong old man Liu, he was immediately knocked unconscious.

"Bring a basin of water and let him wake up!"

Chang Yingwu scolded again and asked the official to get water, and soon, the official brought a bucket of water, and Chang Yingwu rushed directly into Boss Liu's face and woke up.

"Oops."

That Boss Liu originally fainted in pain, but now he was woken up by cold water, feeling the hot pain in his buttocks, and he couldn't stand up.

Boss Liu's sons' angry muscles were exposed, but they dared not speak out.

In short, the effect of this board has been achieved, and Liu Cheng's original unruly look has now become frightened, and it is estimated that he will be much more honest next.

Li Xiao opened his mouth at this time: "Liu Cheng, you set on the murder and beat the son of the Zhang Tian family to the point of paralysis in bed, is there such a thing?" ”

When Boss Liu heard that this was the case, he looked left and right, saw Zhang Tian, and scolded: "Old man Zhang, didn't Lao Tzu lose money to you, you fucking came to sue again, you wait, wait for me to go back and kill you." ”

"Above the court, intimidate others, slap your mouth!"

Li Xiao saw that this person was not honest, and he was shocked again.

Bang Bang Bang –

Boss Liu, who had just finished the board, was slapped a few more times by Chang Yingwu, and his face was immediately swollen.

Seeing his father being greeted by a beating, Boss Liu's son couldn't hold back any longer, got up and said angrily: "My lord, you are too unreasonable, even if you are the county master, you can't beat people casually. You're a trick."

Li Xiao didn't pay attention to it, but looked at the master Bo and said: "Write down Liu Cheng's words just now, he said that when he goes back, he will kill Zhang Tian, and he will remember it as 'planning to kill', and Zhang Luo's plan to kill people has already begun." ”

As soon as I heard this,

The Liu family was all dumbfounded.

This county lord seems to be different from the previous ones.

It's too ruthless, it's unreasonable.

The eldest son of the Liu family is trying to continue the theory.

Boss Liu immediately stopped his son and shook his head.

He kind of understood, this county master is not an ordinary person, and he is doing this today, probably because he wants to knock him off, but now, he can only be soft, and then bribe him with money.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of this county office today.

Boss Liu knelt on the ground, completely relented, and said, "Master, we are indeed ouch"

Halfway through his words, he lost a tooth, which was knocked out by Chang Yingwu just now. He picked up his teeth, put them in his pocket, and then said, "We did accidentally have a conflict with Zhang Tian's son and injured someone, but we have already lost money."

Li Xiao said: "Ten taels of silver, what are you calling Huazi?" ”

Liu Laodao: "This is also set by the previous magistrate, we will do it truthfully"

Li Xiao said: "The previous term is the previous term, and this official can't do it here, so renegotiate the amount of compensation." ”

Liu Laodao: "The master's case last time is closed, this is not in accordance with the rules."

Li Xiao smiled, patted the wood, and said: "Here, the rules of this official are the rules!" ”

The voice was full of breath and loud, and it kept echoing in everyone's ears.

The people outside were stunned.

This county lord is really old and domineering!!

In the past, I saw such domineering officials, all of whom were bad officials, evil officials, and officials who oppressed the people.

But today is the first time I have seen it, a bully-like posture, to be a good official!!

cowardly, Boss Liu was completely cowardly.

He hurriedly flattered: "Your Excellency, you say, we will compensate"

There's no way, Boss Liu is really scared.

Today, we can only destroy the fortune and eliminate the disaster, and then find a way to retaliate in the future

"That's right, this official will never wronged a good person, nor will he let go of a bad person, kill people to pay for their lives, and repay debts. Here, I only need two words, fair! ”

Li Xiao smiled: "Since it is fair, then let's talk about a fair way of compensation." ”

Then, Li Xiao looked at Zhang Tian and asked, "Old man Zhang, how old is your son this year?" ”

Old man Zhang Tian immediately knelt down, extremely grateful in his heart, and said: "My lord, the grass people have come to have a son, and there are two sons Chinese New Year's Eve today. ”

Li Xiao then asked: "How many taels of silver can your son earn by farming in a year?" ”

Zhang Tian didn't know what the situation was, and said truthfully: "My family has fifteen acres of thin fields, and after deducting taxes, I can have ten taels of silver every year."

Of course, these are just pure earned silver.

Apart from eating, drinking, and sheltering, in fact, the people could not save much silver.

"Okay, ten taels of silver a year."

Li Xiao nodded and said, "Your son has two out of thirty, and I think he can continue to farm for thirty years, ten taels of silver a year, that is to say, your son can earn three hundred taels of silver in his lifetime." ”

After speaking, he looked at Boss Liu and scolded angrily:

"Because of you, you injured people and couldn't farm, so you couldn't earn the three hundred taels of silver, and you lost this money!" Moreover, Zhang Tianjia's son will suffer for thirty years, counting his mental anguish expenses, one hundred taels. He only has one son, and no one will give him a pension in the future, which is also caused by you, his son will also be buried to the end, and the two of them will add one hundred taels to the end of the funeral expenses, a total of five hundred taels, lose money! ”

The voice fell.

The scene suddenly became silent.

Falling pins can be heard!

Everyone was stunned.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was never such a form of compensation.

If you cripple a person, you often lose dozens of taels of silver, forget it.

But the county lord actually asked him to pay five hundred taels of silver!!

This is an exaggeration!

But if you think about it carefully, what the county lord said makes sense!

Very reasonable!

After all, if the son of another family is not disabled, in the next thirty years, he will earn ten taels of silver a year, and he will indeed earn three hundred taels of silver.

And, who wants to be crippled?

Thirty years of mental anguish also counts money.

The old man's son can't provide for him to die, including his son, and no one has to provide for him to die, so the money should indeed be paid.

In this way, it seems that five hundred taels is not groundless!

"Five hundred taels"

Boss Liu was completely confused.

It's like a lion's mouth.

How can there be such a compensation method?

He thought that at most, he would be blackmailed by Zhang Tian, an old guy, and pay a few dozen taels of silver, but he didn't expect the county master to open his mouth for five hundred taels.

"My lord, it's wronged, Da Ming Law doesn't have this kind of algorithm."

Liu Lao shouted grievances.

"Five hundred taels, not a penny of silver is missing, that's it, I haven't calculated it yet!"

Li Xiao squinted his eyes and said: "If you calculate carefully, this Zhang Tian's son can still give birth to a child, because you can't find a daughter-in-law, and his son can still make a lot of money in his life, do you want the official to calculate it for you?" ”

"This, this, you, this nonsense."

Liu Lao said angrily: "According to what you say, there are endless children and grandchildren, so wouldn't I have to pay thousands of taels or tens of thousands of taels of silver." ”

Li Xiao laughed: "If you want to calculate, I can calculate it for you." ”

Boss Liu was silent.

This county lord simply doesn't play cards according to common sense.

He didn't dare to continue to fight, in case he really went down, it would be an astronomical amount.

"My lord, can you take a step to speak?"

At this time, Boss Liu planned to start using bribery.

"Why take a step to speak? If there's anything to say, it's right here. ”

Li Xiao was unmoved.

"My lord, there are some things that are not easy to say."

Boss Liu got up prostrate and walked towards Li Xiao.

Chang Yingwu immediately stopped and said sharply: "What are you going to do?" ”

Li Xiao waved his hand and said, "Yingwu, let him come over." ”

Chang Yingwu then got out of the way.

When Boss Liu saw that there was a play, he smiled flatteringly, walked up to Li Xiao, and whispered: "My lord, can you take a step to speak?" ”

"That's it."

Li Xiao already knew what this guy wanted to do.

Boss Liu was helpless, so he had to whisper: "My lord, if you raise your noble hand and spare me, even if I compensate him five hundred taels, you won't be able to get any benefits."

As he spoke, he took out a bag of silver, covered it with the sleeve of his right hand, and secretly handed it over. "My lord, do you think this is a success, you take one hundred taels, and I will compensate Zhang Tian fifty taels, even if this matter is passed out, the loss of fifty taels is not a small amount, and your purpose of Liwei has also been achieved."

In Boss Liu's opinion.

This Li Xiao is the three fires of the new official, and the first fire burned him.

Give him a hundred taels of benefits, and he will be tempted.

And it can also win over feelings.

If Zhang Tian was compensated another fifty taels, the matter was done, and Wei was established.

Kill two birds with one stone.

At this moment, he still felt that the five hundred taels that Li Xiao said was just to scare him, and he would not really let him lose so much.

But Li Xiao really plans to make him pay five hundred taels!

Li Xiao shook the silver in his hand, ignoring everyone's gaze at all.

"Your Excellency, be hidden." Boss Liu was in a hurry.

"Hide?" Li Xiao smiled.

I want to buy myself for a hundred taels of silver, do you really think that I haven't seen a lot of money?

"Look, the evidence is conclusive, bribing the court officials in court."

Li Xiao raised the silver in his hand and shook it in front of everyone.

Boss Liu's face turned the color of pig liver on the spot

"You call this bribery, and you use this to test officials?"

Li Xiao threw the silver on Boss Liu's face, and said righteously: "Which official can't withstand such a test??? Get down! ”

Chang Yingwu immediately pressed Boss Liu back and knelt on the ground.

At this time, the people outside were excited, and even had some intracranial orgasms.

Oh my God, this is a good official who is not greedy, and he went back on the spot, it's so cool!

"If you lose money, you will lose it immediately, five hundred taels, not one less!"

Li Xiao shouted again.

Now, everyone understands.

This magistrate is not joking, it really makes people pay five hundred taels of silver.

"There's no money, if you want to kill or chop, whatever. There is no fatal thing to ask for money. ”

When Boss Liu saw that the bribery was exposed, his heart lay on the ground and he didn't believe it, what else could he do to him in broad daylight!

"It's okay if you don't lose money."

Li Xiao smiled, and his eyes swept to Boss Liu's sons, "Repay debts, kill people to pay for your life, you broke Zhang Tian's son's leg, since you don't want to lose money, then break your son's leg, I said, what I want is fairness." ”

The voice fell.

The faces of Boss Liu's sons changed.

They didn't expect that this magistrate was too crazy to use this way.

"If you dare, I will go to Beijing to sue the emperor."

The sons immediately united and stood together, looking like a fish was dead and the net was broken.

"Sue the royal complaint, feel free, please, but solve today's matter first."

Li Xiao said with a smile: "The official has said, what you want is fairness, one person for another, which of you broke the leg of the son of the Zhang Tian family?" ”

The sons of the Liu family did not speak.

There's no evidence anyway, so guess.

"You think you'll be spared without talking? Then I'll pick whatever you want. ”

Li Xiao casually pointed to someone, "It's you!" Come on, the leg is broken! ”

Li Xiao pointed that it was the fourth child of the Liu family.

Chang Yingwu brought a few people over directly, pressed the person Li Xiao pointed at to the ground, picked up the stick and beat it.

When the first board went down, the fourth elder of the Liu family screamed in pain, and immediately recruited: "My lord, it's not me, the last one to break the leg of the Tian family's son is the fifth child, and he beat it with a stick." ”

Li Xiao smiled: "Which one is the fifth?" ”

The fourth points to the fifth.

The fifth child was in a hurry, and hurriedly explained: "Fourth, you are mistaken, it was the second child who beat it, and the last one was beaten by the second child, and you didn't see it clearly at the time." ”

The second child scolded: "Fart, it's you the fifth, you hold the stick." ”

Soon, the scene became chaotic.

The sons blamed each other and prevaricated, for fear of harming themselves.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the other sons still pointed out one person, so as not to harm themselves, and several other people pointed to the fifth child, "It is the fifth child." He took the stick, and we were all empty-handed. ”

The fifth child has a bitter face, and it doesn't feel good.

Boy!

Plastic brotherhood, at a critical moment, the alliance instantly collapsed, and they blamed each other.

Li Xiao pointed to the fifth child and said, "You take the stick, that's you, come and break his leg." You don't have to lose this money. ”

"Yes!"

Chang Yingwu grabbed the fifth child of the Liu family again, pressed him to the ground, picked up the stick and hit it, hitting the leg, but he didn't break it all at once, he understood Li Xiao's eyes.

One stick, two sticks, three sticks.

"Ahhhh

The fifth child of the Liu family felt the pain in his heart, and shouted: "Dad, lose money, if you don't lose money, your son will be paralyzed." ”

Four sticks, five sticks.

Seeing that his son was really going to break his leg, Boss Liu couldn't hold back anymore and shouted: "Compensation, I will lose money"

Li Xiao smiled: "You said it earlier, you said it earlier, and your son didn't have to suffer these sticks." ”

Boss Liu lowered his head and took out a silver ticket of five hundred taels, "I will admit it if I lose money!" ”

"That's right."

Li Xiao handed the silver ticket to Old Man Tian, who took it incredulously.

Really lost

I lost a full five hundred taels!!

Old man Tian's tears of emotion rolled down, and he knelt on the ground at the moment: "Master Xie, Master Xie Qingtian!" ”

Li Xiao waved his hand: "Close the case!" ”

In this way, Li Xiao directly used the most ruthless means to make people lose money.

The people outside were stunned.

That's a loss of five hundred taels of silver!

This county lord is even more bullying than a bully, and he is not reasonable at all

Of course, the compensation method he said also sounds reasonable.

In short, everyone felt very happy!

This county master is really in charge of everyone!

See the end of the matter, at this time.

The sons of the Liu family, holding the eldest and fifth Liu, were about to leave.

"Stop, did I tell you to go?"

Li Xiao said slowly: "Liu Cheng, you bribed the court officials in court, and planned to kill and retaliate afterwards, come on, press him to the prison and imprison him for three months!" ”

These officials did not dare to slack off, and they had long been frightened by Li Xiao's methods.

didn't dare to disobey the order, so he came up directly and pressed Boss Liu away.

The remaining sons dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, so they could only leave first, thinking about going back and then trying to find a way

"Lord Qingtian, Lord Qingtian!"

Old man Tian kowtowed to Li Xiao a few times, then took the silver ticket and limped away.

With this silver, the rest of my life can be regarded as a fall

"In the future, if something similar happens within the scope of this official's jurisdiction, it will be dealt with in the same way as today! Disabled, injured, and lose money in the second half of your life! ”

Li Xiao walked towards the court and said loudly.

With that, he got up and walked towards the court, towards the people outside.

So many people are here today.

Li Xiao intends to establish his reputation as a good official, and he will be easy to do things in the future!

He shouted to the people: "This official, come to Dong'an County and only do three things!" Fair, fair, and fair! If there is any injustice in the future, just find this official! ”

The voice fell.

The whole scene was silent opium.

It's amazing!

It's really shocking!

On the first day of the county lord's tenure, he governed the township tyrants, thunderous means, and no mercy!

Fair, fair, and fair!

It's the first time they've met such a good officer!

These ordinary people have been oppressed by all kinds of people all year round, and their lives are not easy.

The most painful thing is that it is unfair treatment!!

It's okay for a rich person to hurt someone, but a poor person is in prison for a bad person.

The rich are exempt from taxes, while the poor have few fields and have to bear a lot of taxes!

That's unfair!

This sentiment of unfairness has always been there, and it has always been in the hearts of ordinary people!!

Their idea is simple: a good judge will do justice for them.

But good officials are always weak and incorruptible.

In the past, it was not that there was no scholar who was the first in the imperial examination to come to Dong'an County as an official.

When they come, they often have a passion and want to do good.

But many things can't be solved at all, that kind of weak official, even if he wants to do good deeds, he can't fight the people in the village, the squire, the bullies, and even the officials of the government.

In the end, I can only follow the trend, and slowly become similar to the previous county

Li Xiao's bully-like posture is doing the things of a good official, which makes them feel that this county lord can cure all the bullies here!

Only the wicked can grind the wicked!

The people were completely moved!

I don't know which common people shouted: "Lord Qingtian!" ”

So saying, he fell to his knees.

Immediately, the whole scene became lively, and all the people burst into tears and shouted:

"Lord Qingtian!"

"Lord Qingtian!"

"Lord Qingtian!"

Whoa—

Everyone knelt on the ground and shouted Lord Qingtian.

In the crowd, a few people saw that there was a person next to him who did not kneel, and hurriedly reminded: "Our master Qingtian is here in Dong'an County, why don't we kneel down and kowtow together." ”

"Yes, kneel down and kowtow."

"This is the real Qingtian master, don't be stunned."

Zhu Di said angrily: "You kneel to you, why do you call me?" ”

That's it,

And all the people knelt down.

In the crowd, Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun, who were still standing, looked a little out of the crowd and were particularly eye-catching.

"And those who don't kneel? Am I not doing well enough? ”

Li Xiao looked at the two people standing with doubts, and was dumbfounded at this look.

It turned out to be my father-in-law and mother-in-law.

That's fine
