Chapter 487: Retrial
Xiao County, in the lobby of the county government, Xu Yao sat upright on the top to announce the verdict, "Judge this horse to Qin Xiang and return the former silver." The silver obtained by Lu Tong, don't chase it, stop playing twenty, and release it home", after finishing speaking, he planned to take a sip of tea, but the tea was empty, and he just subconsciously thought about the red embroidery to pour, but when he looked at the side, only two aunts and grandmothers sat next to him, Xu Yao couldn't help but smile, and turned to the back to take a teapot and poured it himself, and saw that there were two people pulling and pulling up, and he showed a serious appearance and sat on the main seat.
I saw that the two people in this hall were holding a big goose and didn't let go, and they had already arrived in the lobby, and they were still fighting for geese without avoiding it. Xu Yao was surprised and asked, "Who is in the hall, and what needs to be decided by this official?"
One of them said?? "The little one's name is Han Qi, his ancestral home is in Dongjing Village, he raises this goose at home, and sells it on the street, so he insists on fighting for it." And another person said: "The little one is named Ling Kui, who lives on Jiudu Street in the county, and this morning he picked a goose to sell on the street, but when he met this Diao people, he insisted on holding my goose, and he wanted to spew blood."
Xu Yao smiled slightly when he heard this, and then said, "It's hard for me to know which of you is true and who is false, but this thing is easy to do, who is the owner of this goose, I will judge this goose, don't be that stupid goose, now your master is fighting for you to go back, come to the court, eat the master's millet rice, still swaying left and right there and cowering, what is the reason?"
Xu Yao opened his mouth to reprimand the big goose, the big goose was excited, flapped his wings a few times in an instant, and screamed a few times in his mouth, and the big goose had this action, and everyone present immediately burst into laughter, feeling that this situation was very interesting.
And the two geese in the hall, seeing Xu Yao seriously reprimanding the two of them for the big goose at their feet, they immediately looked at each other, before Xu Yao became famous in Xiao County after he solved the Meng Yuanbai case, and then there were several headless public cases of the bitter master, also found Xu Yao here.
And after Xu Yao easily solved the case one by one, the crowd was suddenly turbulent and irrepressible, every day outside Xu Yao's little ox cart, there were crowds of people, crying and shouting grievances, and Xu Yao did not refuse at the same time, so he simply sat back to the Yamen of Xiao County, and sent the officials to report to the Quartet, if there is a grievance, you can come here to redress.
It is precisely for this reason that the yamen, which was deserted in the past, is now a grand scene. Although there are a lot of people who come to redress their grievances, Xu Yao's handling of cases is also very fast, so that in the future, Xu Yao's main cases have changed from murder and robbery, abduction and adultery to some trivial matters.
However, after Xu Yao realized that he still had luck to share the profits, he was naturally happy to do it, mosquito legs are also meat, not to mention that he didn't have to do anything, and things that could be settled in a few words were simply a business without capital.
In the past few days, Xu Yao felt that the shackles on his body had loosened again, and he suddenly smiled from ear to ear.
Seeing the rest of the people laughing, Xu Yao didn't care, and regardless of the big goose's noise, after interrogating him as if there was something to do, he said to the officials around him, "This goose has been interrogated by this official, and has a sense of fear, and now I plan to sign and confess truthfully, you take a piece of white paper, spread the goose under the feet, and this goose will naturally be recruited from the truth."
The official went down with a look of ridicule and took a piece of white paper and spread it under the feet of the white goose, and the white goose quacked and quacked for a while, and its buttocks swayed left and right, and it turned out to be a bunch of shit. And everyone immediately leaned forward and closed back with laughter, and tears almost fell out.
The others still had scruples and didn't dare to look at Xu Yao for a while, but Nangong Qiuling and Han Tianxiang were naturally not among them, and while pointing at Xu Yao, they laughed and trembled. But Xu Yao's face was still light, and he looked unmoved, and after everyone had laughed enough, he slapped the shocked wood and scolded Ling Kui.
"It's not easy for villagers to raise geese, they are reluctant to eat their own geese, and they go into the county to sell geese for a few copper coins, how can you lie to him in vain?" Ling Kui suddenly shouted and complained about his grievances, "The little one is really self-raised, this goose is not worth a few, how dare the little one go to the court to argue for this"
Xu Yao opened his mouth again and said: "I see that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, and I don't say anything, I guess you are unwilling! When a goose eats rice on the street, its dung will be white; and when a goose eats grass in the countryside, its dung will be green." This dung is green, and you have to fight for it?"
"Call left and right to fetch the rough board and take Ling Kui twenty heavy responsibilities. Goose pay Han Qi to lead it" After Xu Yao finished speaking, he pronounced the verdict again. "I found that Lingkui was a scoundrel in the market, a loafer and a stickman, and when he saw the villager Han Qi selling geese, he had a heart of coaxing. Peep at his absence, and then cling to disputes, not thinking that things have their own masters, plainly wanting to grab for their own selfishness, lawlessness, and rampant like this!
At this point, everyone was already convinced, and Han Qi led the goose and left with a thousand thanks, but Han Qi had no way to deny it, so he had to bend down and be punished. As soon as Han Qi left, the two of them scolded and scolded, and when everyone saw it, the two of them picked up a basket on one shoulder and a few eggplants in their hands, and they were a little speechless.
In the past, this Xiao County County Government was a matter of human life, and it was not necessarily necessary to make trouble in this county office, and there were many people who were private, but now Xu Yao has only been sitting in the hall for a few days, and trivial things have come here, which suddenly made everyone have a sense of absurdity.
Seeing that the two of them were still scolding themselves when they arrived in the court, Xu Yao opened his mouth and asked, "What do you two have that need to be decided by this official?" Seeing Xu Yao ask, one of them hurriedly replied
"The villain's surname is Wan Wanchun, and he has been serving my acre of thin fields in Sanlipu outside the city, doing some vegetable planting to make a living, and entering the garden this morning to harvest eggplants. I saw that they were all stolen by this thief. I met this steeply, so after the scuffle, I twisted the thief to the county office, and decided by the big man. ”
And the other person saw Wan Chun finish speaking, and hurriedly jumped forward, "The villain is from the village in front of the station, whose surname is Lu Mingchen, and he also sells vegetables for a living." This morning, I sold this eggplant in the city. He falsely accused me of being a thief. I hope that Lord Beggar will decide. ”
Xu Yao didn't say a word after listening to the statements of the two, and then ordered left and right: "Take the eggplant and come up!" Xu Yao took the eggplant and looked at it, and then scolded loudly: "Okay, you are an ignorant slave!
Lu Chen suddenly fell to the ground and cried and argued: "The small ones are really the vegetables sold in the city, the adults think they are thieves, and the small ones are never reconciled." ”
Xu Yao smiled coldly when he heard this, and then said: "You slave said that I was brutal, and I will fight for another twenty." After beating the forty boards, Xu Yao picked up the eggplant on the table, and said again, "I have a word, you listen quietly." If someone takes eggplants to sell, they must choose the big ones, which are already ripe, and the township livelihood is seen as coarse, and it is not easy to do so, and they will not bear to take out the small ones that have just bloomed and sell them. ”
After speaking, Xu Yao threw out the eggplant and smashed it into Lu Chen's face, "Only a shameless scoundrel like you steals other people's things, the left and right are not your own, you pick them when you see them, where is it not easy to plant, the immature heart is not distressed, and the theft is ugly, but I am afraid that people will know about it, so I panic, so I even picked it up with the size, what else do you have to say?"
Lu Chen saw that Xu Yao was reasonable, so he had to bow his head and admit his guilt. Xu Yao then sentenced Lu Chen to compensate Wan Chun ten times the price of the eggplant. The remaining sins will not be prosecuted. Seeing that the eggplant case was finished, and a bunch of noisy crowds came to the lobby in turn, although Xu Yao tried the case very quickly, but the trial was not finished until sunset, and seeing that the sky was dark, Xu Yao was shocked, and went down to the court, so that everyone could come again tomorrow.
The left and right are now some trivial things, and everyone doesn't dare to bother Xu Yao too much, while praising each other, they naturally let out a way and let Xu Yao take the two daughters.
Xu Yao, who had already returned to the ox cart, let the two girls get into the car first, although the ox cart looked tattered, but it was actually a world of its own. Outsiders seem to be boxy inside, which can accommodate two or three people, but as soon as you enter the door of this oxcart, you will notice that the space inside has suddenly changed.
