When he entered the city, the old donkey slowed down and walked slowly along the streets, most of the shops on both sides were closed, and there were not many pedestrians on the road, and occasionally a horse-drawn carriage drove slowly, and when he turned the corner, he disappeared.

After looking for an inn, a shopkeeper greeted him: "Dao Chief, is it a tip or a store?"

"Feed the poor donkey well, use good food, and the money will be indispensable to you. Yi Fan threw the rope to the shopkeeper and said, "Open another upper room and send some food." ”

"Okay, wait a minute. When the shopkeeper heard this, he became even more enthusiastic, first tied the donkey to the horse stake, and then led Yi Fan and the disgusting ghost inside.

The inn was small, an oil lamp was glowing in dusk, and a man was sitting at the counter, who was sleeping soundly with his mouth open.

Follow the shopkeeper to the room, the environment is not bad, the seats are there, there is no smell in the house, put the salute on the table, and after a while, the shopkeeper will bring a warm meal, although it is not freshly made, but it is delicious.

......

Early the next morning, Yi Fan finished his homework and came down to eat, and the shopkeeper greeted him: "Dao Chief, is the room satisfactory?"

This is to ask for money, Yi Fan understood the reason, immediately took out his purse, and handed over two taels of silver: "Live for three days first, don't look for the superfluous, you just take good care of the poor old donkey, don't be wronged." ”

Two taels of silver is a lot, even if you use the best forage, there is a surplus, the shopkeeper immediately smiled, took the silver, and said: "Dao Chief, don't worry, I promise that I won't be able to treat your donkey." ”

At this time, there was a sudden commotion outside, and immediately the diners hurriedly checked out and ran out, seeing that Yi Fan was puzzled, the shopkeeper explained: "It must be the Yamen Shengtang, these guys went to see the excitement." ”

said, and sighed again: "I don't know which wronged person, I actually went to the yamen, how can I easily get out of the yamen without being stripped of a few layers of skin?"

"Oh, why is that?"

"Dao Chief, you should have just come to Changyu County, I don't know the rules here, our Changyu County Order, but he is a very corrupt official, as long as someone beats the drum and the people complain, no matter who is right and who is wrong, as long as the money is given and it is enough, you will be sentenced to win, so there is a saying to describe him like this, I would rather look for gods and Buddhas than find the county platform. ”

Yi Fan nodded, he has also seen a lot of this kind of thing, in this increasingly chaotic world, there are many corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and there are often chivalrous people in the rivers and lakes who kill officials to vent their anger, and even make a big fuss, and the people's resentment is boiling, which eventually leads to rebellion.

The shopkeeper looked outside and said, "But our county order doesn't dare to go too far, for fear of attracting the attention of that immortal, and it will inevitably be bitter at that time." ”

Immortals? Yi Fan was surprised: "The immortal that the little second brother refers to, which way is the immortal?"

"This is a long time, four or five years ago, our Changyu County suddenly appeared a hero who robbed the rich and helped the poor, at first I thought it was just a chivalrous warrior in the rivers and lakes, who knew that once provoked our local wealthy family, and the county government sent nearly 100 people, set a trap, ready to arrest this chivalrous man, but returned in vain, and the shadow did not see one. ”

"Just when everyone thought that this chivalrous man was hiding, and even went away, our county commander encountered a strange thing, someone beat him with a whip at night, and there was no trace of him, and for three consecutive nights, only the county magistrate was beaten half to death, and then he stopped. ”

Speaking of which, the shopkeeper was a little gloating.

Yi Fan also smiled, needless to say, this must be something that people in cultivation do, so he asked, "What about after that?"

"After the county order recovered from his injury, he invited a mage, but there was no gain, but it attracted whipping, and then he woke up to the fact that he had provoked a god, and from then on, no matter which family was robbed, the yamen would not care, and it would provoke those big families, everyone was in danger, and even the security of our Changyu County was much better. ”

The shopkeeper was interested, and there weren't many customers in the inn anyway, so he told all the interesting things he knew, and even stood behind the counter, but he didn't find the shopkeeper with a green face.

I really couldn't bear to be punished, Yi Fan interrupted his words, and then it stopped, he swallowed his saliva unfinished, and when he looked back, he realized that something was wrong, his head shrank, and he hurriedly ran into the back kitchen.

After breakfast, he let the disgusting ghosts who did not want to go out see him and salute, and he went out, and from time to time he saw passers-by discussing the affairs of the yamen, and after thinking about it, he went to the yamen.

He wanted to see which of his colleagues punished evil and promoted good like this, but he could make friends.

When I arrived at the yamen, I saw several circles of people outside, each stretching their necks to look inside, looking excited, how could they have the slightest fear of the yamen, but it was like watching a play.

The whole body was shocked, and he gently pushed away the people who were blocking the front, and after a while, he stood in front, and then looked inside, and saw a young scholar standing below, and a rough man kneeling next to him, crying and complaining about something, and the county magistrate sitting on the stage was clubbing, squinting and wandering out of the sky.

However, the master next to him was in a shimmering spirit, and interjected a few words from time to time.

After listening to it for a while, Yi Fan also understood what happened, it turned out that the two people in this hall were brothers, and the scholar was the younger brother.

A few years ago, when his father died, his elder brother proposed to divide the family and invited the elders of the village, which was fair, and the two of them divided the fields evenly, but the younger brother was a scholar, and he had never done any work at home, let alone the fields.

So the elder brother asked the younger brother to hand over the fields to him to do, and gave him a certain amount of food every year, and the scholar didn't want to bother, so he agreed.

Originally, who knew that the food given by my brother was getting less and less year by year, and even in the end, I would send a scholar if I gave some old rice and rotten grain.

The scholar was not stupid, so he reasoned with his brother, who knew that his brother had already made an excuse to return the field to him, but when he saw it, the field allocated to him not only shrunk, but even the boundary marker was moved, and the best paddy fields were distributed to his brother, and his side was all dry land, and the harvest has always been very poor.

How could the scholar agree, so he asked the old clan to redraw the boundary, but the elder brother naturally disagreed, and the two kept making trouble, even to the yamen today.

The people regard food as the sky, and the fields are the life of the people.

's life is gone, where are you still afraid of any corrupt officials, so the two confronted each other in the court, each saying a word, the elder brother played tricks, and the scholar reasoned, which made people listen to their heads.

No, even the master was impatient, glanced at the county magistrate who was asleep, coughed, his voice was not loud, and said to the two people in the hall: "Your business county master has understood, this matter is simple, first pay the money and then finalize the case, who is right and who is wrong, the county lord decides." ”
