Chapter Ninety-Six: False Accusations
The second time, Xu Li was woken up early in the morning by an official messenger, saying that there was a large group of people surrounding the door, saying that he wanted to explain the law. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"What's noisy early in the morning, go, go out and see. Xu Li put on his official uniform with an unhappy face and came to the yamen.
I saw that the door was full of people, and there was a person standing in front of him, who seemed a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
At this time, Ma Wei also hurried over, and after seeing Hui Yan, he said angrily: "Hui Yan, what are you doing here?
Oh, yes, this person is the catcher Hui Yan who blocked our fortune several times back then, wasn't he sent to Baishui Town three years ago, why is he making trouble here today? Xu Li wondered in his heart.
"You know what you have done. Just after the flood, the people in the disaster area did not have enough food and clothing every day, and they were homeless, but you were good, and you even withheld the disaster relief food allocated by the imperial court to fill your own pockets.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I can sue you for framing the imperial court officials!" "When Xu Li heard this, you are going to block my wealth as soon as you come soon, how can it be reasonable, I let you go once three years ago, I will never spare you today, and I must rectify you well."
"Hmph, Lord Xu, who said that I framed you? I have full evidence, if you feel innocent, then please get out of the way and let everyone go in to see if there are still those big boxes of silver taels allocated by the court in the backyard. Hui Yan sneered.
Good boy, come prepared, at this time Xu Li glanced at Ma Wei, Ma Wei immediately understood, and sneaked into the yamen while others were not paying attention.
"Okay, I'd like to see what the evidence you are talking about? But there is not much space in the yamen, and I am afraid that it is not appropriate for so many people to go in together, so you should first choose ten deputies by yourself, and then go with me." Xu Li's eyes swept over the people present, and said with a smile in his heart: "So many people, it depends on when you represent the election."
As soon as everyone heard this, they thought that what they said was reasonable, and they began to discuss the candidates for the deputies, because everyone came with the attitude of watching the play, so everyone was very curious, and they all wanted to see with their own eyes what the so-called evidence was, and they would quarrel for the number of deputies for a while.
Seeing this scene, Hui Yan sighed and shouted loudly: "Don't fight, everyone who goes in can bring out the evidence for everyone to witness together, so these ten places don't matter now." ”
The noise of the crowd finally subsided after Hui Yan's words, and finally ten representatives were successfully elected to the forefront.
Xu Li smiled lightly in his heart, boy, fight with me, you are still too tender, the delay just now is enough time for Ma Wei to dispose of the box.
Hui Yan and ten people followed Xu Li into the yain and came to the backyard.
To Hui Yan's surprise, all the big boxes he saw last night were gone, leaving only an empty piece of space.
"Hui Zhukuai, where is the evidence you are talking about?" Xu Li sneered.
At this time, Hui Yan reacted, before Xu Li asked everyone to elect a representative, the original intention was to give him time to deal with the stolen goods, no wonder he didn't see Ma Wei's figure left and right, he didn't even think of this, hey.
Seeing that Hui Yan was speechless, Xu Li sneered in his heart, and at this time, Ma Wei also walked in from the outside, and said with a smile: "Hui Catch quickly, this slander of the court officials is a big crime, you are a quick arrest, you are also a person in the public family, and it is a first offense, I will spare you once, leave quickly, and don't come to disrupt it again." ”
Everyone looked at Hui Yan and shook their heads, hey, there's no drama to watch, let's disperse.
At this moment, an official outside the door ran in and shouted, "We have found a large amount of official silver in the room of the Huiyan Inn, please take a look." ”
What? Hui Yan was shocked in his heart: You are really framed!
"How can you come here, come here, take this person down, and then ascend to the court for public trial!" Xu Li solemnly instructed the official.
After a while, the public hall was crowded with the people of Guizhou, and even the aisle from the hall to the door was crowded with people.
Under the hall, Hui Yan had been put on a bracelet and ankle and knelt on the ground.
In the hall, on the table in front of Xu Li was the official silver collected from Huiyan's room.
Xu Li asked Hui Yan solemnly: "Hui Yan, you honestly confess, with your meager income, it is impossible to have so many silver taels, where did these official silver come from?"
"I don't know, it's not mine. Hui Yan argued.
"The evidence is conclusive, are you still quibbling? It seems that if I don't give you some color, you are not ready to recruit. Someone came, and Hui Yan couldne was blamed for fifty big boards. After Xu Li finished ordering, two officials immediately came up, stood on the left and right, picked up the stout board, bang bang, and after a short time, he greeted Huiyan fifty big boards. Hui Yan's back is blurred, fortunately he has learned martial arts, if he is an ordinary person, maybe the fifty boards have gone west.
"How about it? Hui Yan, let's take the real move, did you steal these silver taels from the disaster relief food? How many of them have been hidden by you? Quickly recruit them!" Xu Li said angrily.
"I, I, I'm not guilty, yes, it's you, frame, frame me. Hui Yan said weakly while lying on the ground.
"Don't recruit yet, come on, give me a call. Xu Li instructed the official to continue the cane punishment, and Ma Wei hurriedly stopped him and said: "My lord, if you continue to fight, I am afraid that someone will die, I think it is better to put him in prison first, and then try him later." ”
"Okay, according to the words of the horse, come to someone, put this person in prison first, and then try him again at a later date. ”
Then, Xu Li announced: "This Huiyan is really bold, dare to steal the money used by the people of the disaster to save their lives, come to someone, and immediately go to buy food and distribute it to the people in the disaster area, and then go to my house to take out the blue and white porcelain vase and go to the pawnshop, and the silver taels that come will also be used to buy food." ”
"Lord Xu really loves the people like a son, and that set of blue and white porcelain vases is your favorite thing. Ma Wei immediately patted his ass.
"Eh, what I love most is the people of our return state, these vases are just things outside the body, you can do it quickly. Retirement. Xu Li got up and returned to the inner hall.
In the court, the people were still discussing, and at first they felt that the trial of Hui Yan was a bit too hasty, but later they saw that Xu Li even donated the antiques in his own home for disaster relief, and he still admired him in his heart. From now on, there will definitely be another good news that Lord Xu loves the people like a son.
Back in the inner hall, Ma Wei stepped forward and comforted: "Lord Xu, this time it really made you bleed." ”
"There's no way, you still have to give it up when you should give it up, where does it come from if you don't give up? Xu Li instructed Ma Weidao.
"This Lord Xu, please rest assured, I have my own arrangements. Ma Wei smiled and exited the inner hall.
At night, in the cell, Hui Yan lay on the floor and was dying, Ma Wei sat in front and said with a smile: "Hui Yan, don't blame me, it's you who don't do your free catch in Baishui Town, and you have to come here to intervene in this matter, this is your own fault." With that, he picked up his blood-stained thumb and pressed it down heavily on a list of charges on the ground.
In Whitewater Town, the mayor of the town stood a little worried at the entrance of the town and waited for Huiyan to come back, because the food sent before had long been eaten, and there was no new food to be delivered, and many people who were lucky enough to survive the flood might die of hunger.
At this time, a person hurriedly ran from a distance and shouted: "Mayor Town, it's not good, there is news from Guizhou, saying that Hui Yanzhu is about to be arrested!"
"What, let's go into town right away. When the mayor heard this, he was startled, and hurriedly packed his bags and prepared to enter the city, and when he came to the entrance of the town, he saw two people standing on the side of the road, a man and a woman.
"Mayor Mare, we're going with you, maybe we can help. Yu Muyan said to the mayor with a smile.
"Thank you Miss Yu for your kindness, but this young man's body has not fully recovered, so let's stay in the town and continue to recuperate, this matter is enough for me to leave this matter to Lao Suo." The mayor saw that even a pot of drink had come, and politely declined.
"Big brother is fine, it's all right. We've been bothering you for so long, and Brother Hui has been vacating the room for us to live in, so it's reasonable, we've helped with this favor, don't worry, Mayor Town, we won't hold you back. Yu Muyan said with a smile.
"Alright, let's hurry up and go. The mayor smiled and led the two of them towards Guizhou City.
