Chapter 11 Fifty Plaintiffs and Thirty Defendants

In Quanyang County, after County Lieutenant Zhang dressed up neatly, he ordered dozens of personal soldiers, and of course he was just about to step out of the threshold, but he hesitated for a moment!

"That old boy Liu Xiancheng must have informed Huang Siye one step ahead of me, wouldn't I help him by saving the cross-eyed in the middle of the road?"

After muttering to himself, he actually rushed to the direction of the county government with a group of his own soldiers.

At the city gate, Leng Yan finally persuaded the people, and at this moment he had entered the county town with a dozen horse bandits such as cross-eyed.

What he didn't expect was that the people did not disperse, but gathered more and more, and finally followed them closely.

"Alas, it's a pity, such a good young man is about to suffer in the hands of the three evils of Quanyang, it's really unwilling!"

"Isn't it, these days, how many chivalrous warriors can eliminate harm for the people? It's a pity!"

"Why do you think he wants to report to the official? Isn't it good to behead those horse bandits himself?"

"A chivalrous heart, but in the wrong place!"

"That cross-eyed is about to be released, look at his smug look!"

Among the people, most of them shook their heads and smiled bitterly, they didn't know why this young man was so stubborn, maybe it would be useful to report to the officials in other places, but in this place?

Leng Yan, Jiang Wei, and Song Ci rode at the front of the team.

When they saw that the streets were lined with thatched huts, and there was not even a single brick house, the anger on their faces grew.

A county town is like this, you can imagine what the people outside the city are like, and how barren it is.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, building a decent blue brick house has about three taels of silver.

But in this place, seven or eight horse bandits made up a dozen taels of silver, but what about the people, this made Leng Yan's anger climb to the top.

The county seat is very small, less than a stick of incense, and a team of people finally came to the county yamen under the leadership of a caring person.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, when you look at it, even Jiang Wei, who has always been steady, can't help it.

His fists were clenched, his joints beginning to white, and there was a snapping sound from time to time.

"My lord, I want to kill these dog officers!"

Jiang Wei's voice was very cold, if it weren't for the cold heat at this time, it is estimated that there would be a cold corpse lying in the county government now.

Song Ci's face on the side was not easy, he was strict in enforcing the law, but at this moment, he even thought about being a martial artist who was happy to take revenge, so that he could solve these scourges for the people.

Leng Yan's anger was no less than that of the two, but his face was calm, and his eyes narrowed slightly,

Those who know him well know that this is the rhythm of someone who is going to be unlucky.

I saw that on both sides of the county government at this moment, there were many women hanging on the wooden stakes, their clothes were ragged, and the traces of being whipped on their bodies were clearly visible, some of them had completely passed out, and some were still muttering, "Wronged, wronged!"

Looking at their outfits, they are all women from good families, where do they look like they are traitors.

That's not all, at the gate of the county ya, there are many women's family members, who are kneeling in front of the county yamen under the scorching sun, constantly begging for mercy.

It's a pity that it didn't help, and several officials at the gate of the county government looked like they were nostrils facing the sky, and they were all pretending to sleep, and they didn't pay attention to it.

Look at the county government again, all the blue bricks are built, the gate of the county government alone is half a zhang higher than the city gate, compared with the thatched houses around, here can almost be described as extravagant.

"Hey, it's really hard for them, as long as they don't obey, they will be crowned with trumped-up charges, when will my Quanyang County usher in a blue sky master!"

"Yes, this Liu Xiancheng and Zhang Xianwei are really unconscionable to make this competition, they already have a four-room wife, and now they are going to compete with anyone's aunt, isn't this nonsense!"

The onlookers pointed and pointed, but none of these voices escaped Jiang Wei's ears, and he then turned to Leng Yan.

Seeing the arrival of Leng Yan and the others, the people who had been guarding in front of the yamen were a little surprised, because they saw the cross-eyed and others who were tied.

But when they heard the whole story, they all shook their heads helplessly.

"Shaoxia, you quickly let go of the cross-eyed and go, we understand your kindness!"

Some people have been bullied by cross-eyed, and at this moment they pretended to have the courage to come to the cold horse and said.

"Yes, cross-eyed is in the county government, it's like going home, it's futile for you to do this. ”

The voices of the people, sentence after sentence, came to the ears of the three of them.

"These brutes!Jiang Wei, you go and beat the drums!"

Leng Yan's voice was calm, and it didn't seem to carry a trace of emotion.

As if sensing movement in front of them, the eyes of several officials opened slightly, and when they saw Leng Yan, a sneer flashed inexplicably at the corner of their mouths.

"Bah! In front of the yamen, the idlers dodged away as soon as possible!"

A servant looked at Leng Yan and his party and said arrogantly.

"Wait, huh!"

One moment Jiang Wei was still on the horse, and the next moment, he was already standing in front of the drum that he had never used.

"Knock knock knock!" the drum was then beaten with a shocking sound.

Liu County Chengzheng and Zhang County Lieutenant in the county government blew their beards and stared, and when they heard the sound of drumming, they both snorted coldly and sat down.

Originally, Liu Xiancheng planned to take the credit alone, but he didn't expect that Zhang County Lieutenant finally rushed to the county office, so it was strange that he could be happy.

"Whoever beats the drum, bring it up, hit fifty boards first!"

After Liu Xiancheng and Zhang Xianwei paused for a moment, they actually opened their mouths in unison, wanting to fight for the right to judge this time.

The two of them were at the same level, the county commander was not there, and they didn't know who had the final say.

"Two adults, it's pointless to fight like this now, it's better to wait for the rescue......to save....save the cross-eyed and then ..... and then ..... say? said.....The fourth master has his own judgment!"

At this time, the stammering master spoke.

Hearing the words of the stammering master, Liu Xiancheng and Zhang Xianwei straightened their expressions.

County Lieutenant Zhang waved his hand, and the sergeant under his command retreated, after all, the matter of bringing prisoners is a matter of catching quickly.

Outside the yamen, all the people were almost stupid,

They looked at Jiang Wei and Leng Yan on the horse blankly, with sympathy in their eyes, and more pity and helplessness.

Li Laohan, who was making tea, also squeezed to the front of the crowd, he looked at Jiang Wei, who was still beating the drum vigorously, and hurriedly spoke,

"Master, let him stop knocking, this knock, fifty sticks are set!"

"Fifty boards, why is that?"

After Leng Yan heard Li Laohan's words, he vaguely guessed, he really couldn't imagine that he had only come to the Great Zhou Dynasty for more than a day, and he had actually experienced all the episodes in the TV series on the earth.

Looking at Li Laohan's expression, it was nothing more than to beat the plaintiff and the defendant with fifty boards each.

Unexpectedly, Li Laohan's words made Leng Yan's anger rush to the top of his head again,

"Master, you are confused, the rules of the Quanyang County Ya, if you beat the drum of injustice, the plaintiff will hit 50 boards first, and the defendant will hit 30 boards, and if you can get through, the county master will open a court trial. ”

Li Laohan blamed himself, in his mind, if he had reminded him earlier, Leng Yan and they would not have beaten the drum of injustice, at least they would have been able to take one less beating.

While he was talking, six or seven more catchers came out of the yamen, and before they could go out of the gate, they began to shout,

"Whoever beats the drum, take it down for me, and hit fifty boards first!"
