Chapter 2 The Case
Niu Er's nostrils looked at the person, pointed at the servant, and said, "Why don't you show me a seat quickly?" β
"Niu Er, you dare to be presumptuous!"
Zhao Guyan scolded loudly.
After all, Zhao Guyan is the head catcher of the county government, and he is also the leader of the team that others often say.
Niu Er was somewhat frightened and didn't dare to speak.
"Sir, that little yellow cow is clearly mine, this is a bull, and there is a palm-sized white birthmark on the belly of the cow. It must have been last night that they sneaked into my house and stole my cow! β
Wang Lao Wu cried.
"Master, this little scalper really has a white birthmark on his stomach."
One of the officials said loudly.
"Fart! You see it now, and naturally say so. What a cow steal, how can you frame a good person without any evidence! Believe it or not, Lao Tzu beat you old coffin scoop to death! β
Niu Er shouted without anyone in his eyes.
He wondered whether it would be better to eat the cow roasted or steamed.
The imperial court strictly ordered the cattle to be killed, but if the cow died accidentally, it would not be counted.
Seeing that Niu Er's arrogant appearance, Jiang Cheng was angry in his heart, and he couldn't wait to rush up and punch Bang Bang twice.
"This Niu Er is too much of a thing!"
"Shhhhhh We can't afford to offend this prank. β
"He's Master Zhao's nephew."
β¦β¦
Syllable!
Jiang Cheng raised his eyebrows, slapped the startled wood, and shouted:
"Silence! This is the prefectural hall. It's not a vegetable market! Where did Niu Er, this cow come from? I haven't been honest yet. β
"Sir, this is what the villain bought yesterday for five taels of silver. This Wang Lao Wu was looking for a cow early this morning, and when he saw the villain's little ox, he had to say that it was his. β
Niu Er saw that Jiang Cheng was angry, and immediately knelt down to speak.
"Master, this Niu Er is a good gambler, where did he get the money? It must have been stolen. β
Zhao Guyan said in his ear beside Jiang Cheng.
"Sure enough, it's an entry-level level, and this case is so simple. Now it's time to find evidence to convict Niu Er. Jiang Cheng said in his heart.
"Niu Er, the official has heard that you are a bad gambler, where did you get the money to buy cattle?" Jiang Cheng shouted.
"Sir, two days ago, I won eight taels of silver in the Shunlai gambling house, but someone testified."
Niu Er shouted loudly.
"And who did you buy this cow from?" Jiang Cheng asked rhetorically.
"This ...... I didn't know who the man was, I bought his cow and he left. β
Niu Er suddenly hesitated, his eyes a little evasive.
Niu Er's sneaky expression, how could he hide it from Jiang Cheng?
"It's clear that you steal the cow, and you dare to mess around, if you don't recruit from the truth, you will inevitably be beaten!"
Jiang Cheng picked up the order sign and was about to throw it out, but was stopped by Li Wenbin.
"My lord, this matter must not be done, this Niu Er is Master Zhao's nephew, we can't afford to offend."
Li Wenbin touched his goatee and said in a low voice.
"Master Zhao, even if it is the king of heaven, he will give me a good picture today."
Jiang Cheng's face sank and he threw the order slip out.
Everyone was stunned.
None of the officials reacted!
The county order, which has always been afraid of Master Zhao, how dare he beat Master Zhao's people today?
"If you don't do it, are you waiting for the official to fight?" Jiang Cheng shouted.
The officials came back to their senses, and the two pressed Niu Er to the ground, and the other two raised their killing sticks.
"The surname Jiang, you dare to beat Lao Tzu? You don't know me anymore? I'm Master Zhao's nephew, and you deserve to beat me too? β
Niu Er glared at Jiang Cheng angrily and shouted.
"I don't care who you are, give me a hard beating!" Jiang Cheng shouted.
Smack!
The official had long been unhappy with Niu Er, and he was beaten hard, and after only five or six hits, Niu Er's buttocks bloomed, and his trouser legs were stained red with blood.
The people who watched the excitement were stunned and applauded.
"Is this an eye-opener? This foolish official really dares to beat Niu Er? β
"My God, I read that right. Niu Erzhen was beaten. β
"Niu Er, this bastard thing should have been beaten up a long time ago!"
β¦β¦
Niu Er has been rampant in the township for a long time, bullying men and women, and the people have long been resentful.
"Stop fighting! I've got it! I recruited. I stole this cow last night. β
Niu Er screamed again and again.
"Hehe, recruited? Why don't you hurry up and explain the facts? β
Jiang Cheng sneered.
"Last night, at the second watch, I was urinating at the entrance of the village, and I heard the sound of a cow mooing from Wang Laowu's house, and I was greedy for a while, so I took the cow away."
Niu Er looked miserable and cried.
"Sure enough, it's you!" Wang Lao Wu said angrily.
"Master Li, according to my Great Sui Decree, what crime should be sentenced for the crime of cattle theft?" Jiang Cheng asked.
"Master, you're not going to come for real, are you?"
Hearing this, Li Wenbin's brows tightened, and a bean-sized cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
That old man Zhao is the former academic and political master of this province, although he is idle at home, but the emaciated camel is bigger than him, and his protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials are all over the province.
What's more, his father-in-law is a secretary of the ministry, and he is a great official.
Although Niu Er is only a distant nephew of Master Zhao, he doesn't look at the face of the monk and looks at the face of the Buddha.
There is no judgment on this matter.
"Do you think I'm joking with you?" Jiang Cheng's eyes were indifferent.
The predecessor colluded with local tyrants and corrupted the law, most of which was brokered by Li Wenbin.
And Li Wenbin is a local, and the Li family is also a local hero.
Seeing Jiang Cheng's cold gaze, Li Wenbin's heart was shocked, and before Li Wenbin could speak, Jiang Cheng said:
"In the case of the Great Sui jurisprudence, the crime of theft is punished with 20 canes and served one year in prison. If you are willing to pay the fine, you can reduce it for half a year. Mr. Li, but that's it? β
Hearing this, Li Wenbin was stunned.
He knew that Jiang Cheng was talented and good at scientific examinations, but he didn't know anything about criminal names, and he didn't know precedents at all.
Now I can say it accurately.
For him, it was a shock inside.
This study of criminal names is his capital to make a living, otherwise Jiang Cheng would not have invited him to be his master.
What he didn't know was that Jiangcheng now had a system, and the system automatically popped up the precedent just now.
Subsequently, Jiang Cheng said loudly: "Niu Er committed the crime of theft, the crime is true, and he was sentenced to 20 cane punishments according to the law, and Wang Lao Wu was required to compensate for the loss of three taels, and he also had to serve one year in prison." β
"Good~Good!"
The crowd of onlookers applauded when they heard the county magistrate announce the sentencing results.
"Your Excellency is the Lord of the Blue Sky!"
Wang Lao Wu kowtowed excitedly.
"Surnamed Jiang, you kid actually dare to sentence me to prison. My uncle can't spare you! β
When Niu Er heard that he was going to prison, he suddenly became anxious.
"Call me!" Jiang Cheng shouted.
Smack!
The officials waved their killing sticks and hit them, but before they could hit them a few times, Niu Er screamed and fainted.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the entry-level cattle theft. Earn 100 merit points and get a starter pack. β
A crisp voice sounded, and a newbie gift package appeared in the system warehouse.
Jiang Cheng clicked on it, and a golden pill and two martial arts cheats appeared in the warehouse.
