Chapter 39 Li Jianniang beats the drum and complains
When Li Jianniang came out of the water, the people in the village were scattered, and she went directly to the county seat.
As soon as you arrive in the county seat, first find Pan Lao Hu and Wang Dabao, and ask them to find some people, beggars can also go to the county government to strengthen their momentum.
Pan Laohu and Wang Dabao have been on the streets for a long time, and this trivial matter of making up the number of people can be done in minutes, and when Li Jianniang went to the county government to beat the drum and voice the grievances, there were already dozens of people at the gate of the county office.
Yu Zhengtang was sitting in the county office, preparing to get off work from one to nine, and then he heard someone beating a drum and shouting grievances, so that people came out to take a look, and learned that it was Li Jianniang.
He also knew that this Li Jianniang was Li Xiangnan's biological daughter, but he didn't know much about the grievances between Li Xiangnan and Li Jianniang.
In short, I heard that it was Li Jianniang, and I immediately invited someone in very politely. I was also afraid that I would slack off and offend Li Xiangnan.
"Who's in the hall? What's the drum beating? ”
Li Jianniang stood in the hall and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Li Jianniang, a folk girl, sued Li Xiaotian, the head of Gushan Village, and Li Sanzhuang, a villager, and You Sanniang's family, disregarding people's lives and sinking the people's daughter into the pond without authorization."
Yu Zhengtang was taken aback, Shentang, it was really a group of people.
However, Yu Zhengtang didn't think that this was the truth of the facts, he guessed that Li Jianniang had been mistreated in the village before, and now Li Xiangnan came back and wanted to take revenge, so he came to the county government to sound drums and shout grievances.
It seems that Diao Min in the backing mountain village is going to be unlucky this time, and Yu Zhengtang feels that if he wants to make friends with Li Xiangnan, he must help Li Jianniang get justice.
Don't say it, just say it's a beautiful misunderstanding.
"How can this be reasonable, there is such a thing, come and arrest Li Xiaotian and Li Sanzhuang's family for me."
The officials received the order and immediately went to the mountain village to arrest people.
Yu Zhengtang saw that it was getting dark, and he also wanted to go to Li Xiangnan to make a deal, and he helped his daughter, so he had to tell Li Xiangnan about this love, so he said.
"It's getting late today, and after the suspect is arrested and brought to justice, the trial will be held tomorrow."
Yu Zhengtang was about to shout to quit, and Li Jianniang immediately asked.
"Your Excellency, are you busy coming home from work?"
Yu Zhengtang was stunned for a moment, a little embarrassed, but he still said righteously.
"Nonsense, this official is busy with official business every day, so it can be said that he forgets to sleep and eat, how can he ignore official duties because he wants to go home from work."
Li Jianniang nodded: "My lord is a good official, and he is a blessing to the people." ”
"Since the adults are not busy, the people beg the adults to try the case today before leaving, the people are treated like this today, and they don't dare to leave the county government if they don't see the murderer brought to justice, and they ask the adults to do it."
After speaking, Li Jianniang gave the tiger outside a look, and the people outside immediately echoed.
"Master Qingtian, you just wait for the suspect to be arrested and interrogated before going down to court, the villagers are so cruel and cruel, if they don't get it out as soon as possible, if it is spread out, it will affect the reputation of our Linjiang County."
"Such a young girl, to be dragged to the sinking pond, it's a beast behavior, sir, you have to be the master of this poor girl."
The common people have a blue sky master, Yu Zhengtang is a little floating, seeing that the people are curious to know the result, he can take the opportunity to slap Li Xiangnan, and Yu Zhengtang no longer insisted.
"Okay, since the people are curious about this case, then the official will wait."
After speaking, he also assured the people,
"Don't worry, this official will never shield the bad guys."
"My lord is wise, my lord, the folk girl still has something to tell."
Yu Zhengtang: "You say." ”
Li Jianniang said: "Li Xianghua, the cousin of the people's daughter, was killed today, the murderer is unknown, and the village chief and Li Xianghua's family are not busy looking for the murderer. ”
"But he framed the murderer as a folk girl, and wanted to sink the folk girl in the pond."
"If it weren't for the luck of the people's daughter, she would already be a corpse at this moment."
"Please also ask your Excellency to send someone to find the murderer of Li Xianghua, and give justice to the people's daughter."
After listening to Li Jianniang's words, Yu Zhengtang opened his mouth wide and forgot to close it directly.
I secretly howled in my heart, it's over, this matter is different from what I imagined...
Although Yu Zhengtang is only a small county magistrate, it does not mean that he is incapable, on the contrary, he is more sensitive than many people in terms of smell.
For example, as soon as Li Jianniang said that Li Xianghua was dead, Yu Zhengtang knew that he had guessed that Li Jianniang was bullied by the villagers at the beginning, and when he saw his father coming back and wanted revenge, the idea of beating the drum and complaining this time was not true.
There are also dead people involved, so this case is not a simple civil case.
Yu Zhengtang regretted it at the moment, why didn't he ask clearly, and he promised to try the case.
"Your cousin was killed, I don't know Lord Li..."Yu Zhengtang asked with a tentative question.
Li Jianniang immediately said: "He returned to the village, as soon as he arrived in the village, he framed me like other villagers without saying a word is the murderer. ”
"If you want to determine that the people are the murderers, you must have evidence, and you can't just listen to other people's words."
"The folk girl felt that he was very unprofessional in judging the case like this, so she came to the county government to beat the drum and ask the adults to administer justice for me."
I don't know what's going on, Yu Zhengtang suddenly felt very hot, picked up a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead.
"You said that your father also thinks the same as the people in the village, and thinks that you killed him?"
Li Jianniang: "I don't know what he thinks, when the official arrives in the backing village, he should come back with him, you can ask him face to face." ”
Yu Zhengtang slumped on the chair for a moment, eager to beat his chest, why did he provoke such a hot potato.
"This official suddenly thought that there was still an important official matter that had not been handled, and the case was postponed for retrial..."
Saying that, I got up and was about to leave...
Just before he could stand up, Yu Qian came out from behind and said with a smile.
"What official duties can be more important than a case where human life is at stake."
After speaking, he looked at Li Jianniang again, with a look of regret.
"Look at you, if you leave me, you will almost be killed, don't say that you are my person when you go out in the future, I will be embarrassed to say it
Person. ”
Li Jianniang looked aggrieved: "Young master, it's not that I'm ashamed, it's that some people are not people, it's too ruthless." ”
Yu Qian nodded: "It is said that tiger poison does not eat children, your father is indeed a character."
While saying that Dongsheng had moved a stool for Yu Qian, Yu Qian sat on it.
Yu Zhengtang was about to walk, but when he saw his son sitting down, he sat down obediently.
"Xiao Qian, this is the court, not a place for you to mess around." Yu Zhengtang said to Yu Qian, although it was a reprimand, but his voice was very soft, and he didn't mean to punish at all.
"Dad, I'm not messing around, look at these ordinary people outside, they are all waiting for the truth."
"Linjiang County has been under the governance of my father for all these years, although I don't say that the road is not left behind, but there is no vicious homicide, and now this Li Xianghua was suddenly killed, who knows if it was a habitual offender?"
"For the safety of Linjiang County, so, Dad, you must be cautious about this matter."
Yu Zhengtang nodded when he heard this, feeling that Yu Qian was very right.
"You're right, this matter can be big or small, and Dad can't be careless."
Li Jianniang can finally understand why the Zhao family regarded Yu Qian as a thorn in the flesh, and he really couldn't bear Lord Yu's behavior of being biased to the armpits.
For such a big matter in the court, a county magistrate actually listened to his underage son, to say that Yu Zhengtang was not a faint official, Li Jianniang felt a little difficult to convince the public.
Although she benefited in the end, Li Jianniang still felt ridiculous.
Just thinking about it, when he raised his eyes, he saw Yu Qian raising his eyebrows at him, and his eyes were also blinking, as if to say, you can rest assured that Young Master Ben is doing things, the corners of Li Jianniang's mouth twitched, and she could only say a word about the world we don't understand.
