It is particularly easy to get sleepy when taking a long distance in a sedan chair. Da Kui 'lost' and 'confused' fell asleep in a daze.

Da Kui decided to wait until dark to settle in Qingniu County.Qingniu County is located at the intersection of Zhenjiang and Changzhou Prefecture.It is under the rule of Changzhou Prefecture.It has a population of more than 30,000.Although it is a small and sparsely populated deserted county.Fortunately, there is no need to alarm the government offices of Zhenjiang Prefecture and Changzhou Prefecture.Da Kui has already declined the invitation of the magistrates of the two prefectures to a banquet.If you go to Changzhou Mansion, it is not easy to answer.After all, as a colleague.This kind of face-saving is not a good thing.It is better to find a secluded place to settle down.

Da Kui was asleep, but was woken up by Zhou Kai, who was accompanying him. Da Kui opened his eyes and found that the sedan chair had stopped. Da Kui opened the sedan chair curtain and asked, "Why don't you leave?"

Zhou Kai rode on his horse and replied: "My lord, someone in front of you stopped the sedan chair and complained about it."

"Who, go and ask." Da Kui 'rubbed' his sleepy eyes and commanded, Zhou Kai took the order and went to the front team.

At present, it is the sun 'spring' in March, the south of the Yangtze River is rainy, and the official road after the rain is quite muddy.

An old man in gray and a man in green knelt in the muddy water and stopped in front of the team.

Zhou Kai arrived in front of the team and instructed the soldiers who opened the way: "You stand down. The soldiers were ordered to retreat to the side, and Zhou Kai walked up to the old man and stretched out his hand to help him, "Old man, please get up quickly."

The old man burst into tears at the moment, and when he saw Zhou Kai coming to help him, he let out a sad voice: "My lord wants to call the shots for us." Ignoring the mud and dirt on the ground, he leaned over and kowtowed.

Zhou Kai hurriedly helped the old man up, and Wen Yan comforted: "If the old man has anything to say, you might as well say it directly, my family loves the people like a son, and if you have grievances, he will definitely support you." As he spoke, he said to the man in Tsing Yi who was kneeling on the ground, "You should get up too."

The man kneeling on the ground just knelt in a muffled voice, with tears on his face but did not speak.

The old man sighed, "This is my son, who was sick when he was a child, and his ears are deaf.

Zhou Kai said: "You should tell him to come up and go with me to see my family." The old man answered, turned around and beckoned the man in Tsing Yi to get up, and walked towards the red-topped sedan chair in the team with Zhou Kai.

When he arrived in front of the sedan chair, Zhou Kai bowed down to the sedan chair and hugged his fists and said: "My lord, the people are blocking the road and shouting grievances.

Da Kui is not a good person to put on a show.Hearing this, he got off the soft sedan chair.The old man saw Da Kui wearing a red robe.He knew that he must be a big official.Hurriedly pulled his son to kneel on the ground again.The old man choked and cried: "My lord.Help."

Da Kui hurriedly stretched out his hand to help, the old man's arm was covered with mud, and Da Kui couldn't help but get wet, but Da Kui didn't care, just asked: "The old man has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to speak, this official will do justice for you within his ability."

The old man was in tears, and then he told his grievances.

The old man's surname is Zhou.The ancestral home of Qingniu County has been farming for generations.Zhou Laohan has two sons under his knees.The eldest son Zhou Dingfang.The younger son Zhou Dingyuan.Zhou Dingyuan has suffered from ear disease since childhood.Both ears are deaf and can't hear things.But he is kind-hearted, down-to-earth and capable.In addition to not hearing the sound.Everything in the field is also an expert.

Zhou Laohan saved most of his life by eating and saving, but also praised some money, ready to marry a daughter-in-law 'wife' for his eldest son. Who expected to be robbed in the middle of the night, he actually stole Zhou Laohan's savings. At that time, Zhou Laohan's son Zhou Dingfang found out about the thief and fought with him. During the scuffle, he recognized that the thief was a ruffian named Ge San in the town. The father and son surnamed Zhou worked together to twist Ge San to the official mansion. The county lord then tried the case, put Ge San in prison, and returned all the money stolen by Ge San.

Zhou Laohan thought that this matter would be over, but who expected that Zhou Laohan's house would be set on fire that night.

It turned out that the county lord had accepted the insurance money from Ge San's friend, and he was released on the same day. Zhou Laohan's house was burned.

Zhou Laohan had no choice but to take his two sons to a relative's house to live temporarily.

The old man heard that the Jiangnan political envoy was about to pass through Qingniu County, so he rushed to the official road to intercept it.

When Da Kui heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, that Ge San burned your house, do you have any evidence?"

The old man shook his head, and Da Kui asked again, "Where is your eldest son on the day of Ge San's death?"

The old man said, "He is working outside."

Da Kui couldn't help asking, "You said he was wronged, but there is evidence." The old man shook his head again.

Da Kui couldn't help but make a difficulty, and the county decree of Qingniu County ruled the case in this way, which is also reasonable and legal.

After the thief is caught, if someone 'pays' a guarantee of the bank, he can be exonerated now.

Seeing Da Kui's embarrassed face, the old man said with great certainty: "My eldest son is honest, he can't kill people, please make decisions for Xiaomin."

Now Da Kui has no choice but to comfort the old man and say: "Uncle, please be calm and don't be impatient, this official is about to go to Qingniu County, this case will definitely be investigated by the official, if your son is really wronged, this official will definitely administer justice to you."

Zhou Laohan thanked him for his kindness, and Da Kui ordered someone to give up a horse and let Zhou Laohan ride, and then got into the sedan chair and ordered to continue marching towards Qingniu County.

This place is not far from Qingniu County, and it took less than half an hour to reach the outside of the county.

Although this Qingniu County is called the county seat, it does not even have a city wall. If it is said to be a big town, it is appropriate.

The county magistrate of Qingniu County heard that the Jiangnan political envoy had arrived in Qingniu County, and brought several officials to welcome him out of the county seat early.

Da Kui got off the sedan chair outside the county and walked to the front of the team to meet with the county magistrate of Qingniu County.

Da Kui, as a second-rank court official, actually got out of the sedan chair to meet with a seven-rank county commander, and this county commander was flattered, and hurriedly greeted him and shook it to the end: "Qingniu County county commander Li Yuan has seen the political envoy."

Da Kui smiled and stretched out his hand to help him: "Li County Order doesn't have to be polite.

Li Yuangang, the county magistrate, couldn't help but be stunned when he got up. This general political envoy had mud on his hands and sleeves, and he was suspicious and 'confused' at any time, but he didn't dare to ask more.

Da Kui said with a smile: "This official has been disturbed a lot when he first came to your place.

The county commander Li Yuan couldn't help beating the drum in his heart, and the dignified second-class court official got off the sedan chair to meet with him, and he didn't say anything, and he spoke so politely.

Qingniu County Commander Li Yuan said with a smile on his face: "My lord, please get on the sedan chair and lead the way before the official head."

Da Kui said with a smile: "Li County Commander is the parent official of this Qingniu County, and he has worked hard. Da Kui is full of politeness. Li Yuan didn't know why for a while.

Da Kui continued: "Li County ordered that you and I don't have to see outside, you and I walked into the city together, just to see the people of Qingniu Town."

When Li Yuan heard this, he stretched out his hand to make an invitation, and walked into Qingniu Town with Da Kui. Da Kui's entourage followed closely.

The people on the street waited on both sides of the long street, pointing and talking about the procession on the street.

It turned out that Zhou Laohan was still sitting on a horse in the procession, his son was following aside, the army and horses were strictly organized, and Zhou Laohan was mixed in, but it was quite conspicuous. Tian Feng rode a horse to Zhou Laohan's side and whispered: "Uncle Zhou, you should get off the horse here, find a gentleman to write a piece of paper, and then go to the ya' 'gate' to beat the drum and voice the grievances.

Zhou Laohan suddenly realized, hurriedly dismounted according to the words, and left the team with his son Zhou Dingyuan, and went to find Mr. according to Tian Feng's instructions.

Da Kui and Li Yuan came to the back hall of the Ya 'Gate', Li Yuan gave way to Da Kui and took his seat, and ordered tea to be served, and then sat with him on the side. Da Kui praised with a smile on his face: "Qingniu Town is a peaceful scene. This is thanks to the good governance of Li County."

Li Yuan humbly replied: "The envoy of the government has praised it falsely.

Da Kui smiled and said: "Lord Li is too modest....... Da Kui chatted with Li Xianling endlessly.The east and the west end of the question.Li Yuan had to answer one by one.Li Yuan had already set up a banquet in the restaurant.At this moment, it was getting dark.I wanted to invite the general political envoy to the banquet.But this general political envoy seemed to be in good spirits.Li Yuan was not so disinterested.I had to accompany Da Kui to continue chatting.

Da Kui and Li Xian Lingzheng were talking about Xing, and they heard someone beating drums outside from a distance.

Da Kui couldn't help asking: "Hey, when this official first came to your place, someone beat the drum and shouted grievances.

Li County's order did not dare to disobey, and he stood up and asked, "So, Lord Zhang will ask first."

Da Kui laughed and got up, and walked to the front hall first, Li Yuan followed behind him, and couldn't help muttering in his heart: "Who is so short-sighted, but at this juncture to complain." .......

"Ascension, might." The two classes of officials in the county hall stood and sang Tang Wei.

Da Kui and Li Yuan came to the lobby, and Li Yuan smiled and said, "Your Excellency, please take a seat.

Da Kui sat down on the side of the main hall, and he knew in his heart who was beating the drum to complain, but he didn't know what the details of the matter were.

After a while, Zhou Laohan was brought into the hall and entered the lobby. Zhou Laohan knelt down on his knees with the paper in his hand, and shouted: "Master Qingtian, I have been wronged."

Li Yuan sat in the hall and couldn't help frowning: "Old man Zhou, your son's case has been settled, why did you come to sue again, and tell the truth what grievances you have."

Zhou Laohan couldn't help but say sadly: "My son is wronged. As he spoke, he fell on the ground and wept bitterly.

Li Yuan couldn't help but wave his hand and said, "You should stop the grief first. Today, the general government envoy will come to this county to inspect, and this official will try this case, so that you can be convinced." As he spoke, he motioned to the yacha to go over and take the paper to the front of him.
