Mo Xiaodao said in surprise: "This is the first time I've heard of it. ”

The sixty-year-old man said mysteriously: "It's rare and strange, isn't it, this selling and buying of officials has never been broken since ancient times, so many people have sharpened their heads and want to become officials, what are they for, isn't it power and money? How many people are really for the people and for the common people in the world? It's just doing things that enrich their own pockets under the guise of benefiting the people." ”

These words were straightforward and to the point, which made Mo Xiaodao fall into deep thought.

At this time, the little witch asked, "Two old men, where is the county office?" ”

The sixty-year-old man asked, "Little girl, why are you asking this?"

The little witch said: "I'm curious, I want to go after eating to see how the county master decided this case." ”

The old man said: "Little girl, you don't have to look at it at all, I can think of what he does with my eyes closed!"

The little witch asked curiously, "Then what do you say, how will he break it?"

The old man said: "He will say, that document is true, the Song family should give the shop to Lin Dashanren, but it is not easy to see their orphans and widows, let Lin Dashan take out a few hundred taels of silver to compensate the mother and son, so that Lin Dashan also got the pavement, and he did it as a good person! It's just that the pair of orphans and widows suffered!"

The little witch asked again, "How much is that shroud shop worth?"

The old man said: "That's a lot, it's worth one or two thousand silver!"

After hearing this, the little witch was speechless, and she filled the wine for the two old men, and then said to the cousin, "I will settle the account of their table." ”

The two old men hurriedly said, "How can this make you break the bank?"

The little witch said, "Old man, I'm paying my tuition!" and then she returned to her table, and without speaking, she began to feast.

Geng Jingzhong knew that she was angry, because after she got angry, unlike others, others couldn't eat, but she had a very good appetite.

The others were fine, but Mo Xiaodao couldn't eat, but blindly drank, and after a while, the two pots of wine were drunk by him alone, he still wanted to, but was persuaded by Geng Jingzhong.

A meal, quickly finished, the little witch paid the bill, said goodbye to the two old men at the table, and the group came to the street, Mo Xiaodao refused to get on the car again, so the little bell took the red wolf and the snow beaver into the car, and Mo Xiaodao rode on the bell's horse.

After getting on the horse, Mo Xiaodao asked the pedestrians on the side of the road: "How to get to the county office?" and then galloped down in the direction pointed by passers-by.

The group did not slack off, and then galloped away in the direction of the county office.

The county government is on a main street, the north is facing south, the palace is relatively old, but the two stone lions in front of the door are still mighty, and in front of the lobby at this time, it has been surrounded by the visitors of the three layers inside and the outside three floors.

The rich county master was already sitting behind the public case, and there was a thin master like a knife standing beside him.

There was a woman kneeling in the hall, and a middle-aged man who was also very rich was standing, looking at the woman kneeling beside her and weeping with a smile.

Mo Xiaodao and the others, who came to the outside of the county office, stopped the horses, got off the horses, handed over the horses to the coachman to take care of, and then squeezed into the crowd.

At this time, the last link in the lobby has been carried out, and the verdict is announced.

I saw that the rich county lord cleared his throat and said to the woman in the hall: " Song Li's family, your case, this master has already seen it, you sued the shopkeeper Lin for embezzlement of the property, the complaint is untrue, because the shopkeeper Lin has your man's mortgage of the real estate, and there are also witnesses when your man signed, so the official can not make the decision for you on this matter, and at the same time the official also reminds you that since your husband has given the property to the shopkeeper Lin, this debt repayment is a matter of course, you have to hand over the store to the shopkeeper Lin within five days, however, you are orphans and widows, this lord is extrajudicial and gracious, let the shopkeeper Lin compensate you for the tattoo of five hundred taels of silver, and the silver deed is clear, and you cannot regret it！”

The woman who was kneeling in the hall could no longer cry at this time, and she said hoarsely: "I don't agree!"

At this time, the rich county magistrate said: "I judge the case based on evidence, and your husband's mortgage is conclusive, so don't be obsessed, accept the compensation given to you by the shopkeeper Lin, and go down to the court, the case is closed, retreat!"

At this moment, the entrance of the lobby broke off: "Wait a minute, I have something to say!"

The master in the hall who was as thin as a knife spoke: "Who dares to make noise in the lobby and doesn't want to live?"

The hall broke off again: "With such a dog official, the people really can't live!"

Hearing this, the county magistrate, who was already about to transfer to the back hall, turned back again, and he shouted loudly: "Who dares to talk such nonsense, left and right, take it for me!"

Three or five wolf-like servants rushed towards the speaker.

It was Mo Xiaodao who spoke, not only did he not dodge, but walked towards the lobby with the servant, followed by Geng Jingzhong, the little witch, and the butterfly and the bell, and the red wolf and the snow beaver also ran into the lobby.

The fat county lord felt that his authority had been challenged, and at the same time, he also felt that these people were not good at stubble, so he shouted to the head of the officer: "All together, take them all!"

There was a moment of confusion in the hall, but it soon calmed down. Because of these officials who are powerful and blessed on weekdays, how are they the opponents of Geng Jingzhong and others, after a while, they have all been cleaned up honestly, and what is more interesting is that the fat county master and the thin master were controlled by the bell with the red wolf and the snow beaver, especially the fat county master, who was pounced on by the red wolf and stepped on his feet, so frightened that he didn't dare to come out.

The people outside the hall didn't run this time, they all wanted to see what this group of people was going to do?

Mo Xiaodao saw that he was already in control of the situation, so he sat behind the public case, and the shopkeeper Lin wanted to slip away while the chaos, but was stopped by the crowd of onlookers.

Seeing that all the onlookers were looking at them, the little witch said, "Today's case is unfair, and we will retry this case now!"

The fat county master, who fell to the ground, said unconvinced: "What authority do you have to try the case, are you the officials of the court?"

The little witch smiled contemptuously and said, "I also let you talk, we just happened!"

The fat county master said in disbelief: "How can you prove your identity?"

Geng Jingzhong took out a golden token, shook it in front of the county master, and said, "I am the guard with a knife in front of the third rank of the emperor. This is a token issued by King Shou himself! Do you still have any objections?"

The fat county master was still unconvinced: "You are just a guard with a knife, why can you take care of my business?"
