Xiang'er and they followed Xia Zhutou into the county hall of Qinghe County, and the lively people stopped at the door of the lobby, the county order Zhang was a middle-aged man, with a goatee, a serious and majestic look, he sat behind the copywriting in the hall, and there was a master on the other side to make a record, and the catchers stood on both sides of the hall in a serious manner, each with a stick on the ground, Xiang'er also came according to the rules, she took catkins, sweet girls, and Xiaoju knelt under the hall to see the county order, and the county commander Zhang patted the hall and said loudly: "Ascend to the hall." The catchers shouted together, and smashed the stick on the ground, using this position to intimidate the people who filed the lawsuit, and the hall was quiet.

The county magistrate slapped the wood again and said loudly: "Who is the person in the hall." Liu Wu, Tian Niu and Xiao Ju were all frightened, and Xiang'er knelt down and replied: "Cao Min Xiang'er, Liu Wu, Tian Niu, Xiao Ju meet the adults." The county commander Zhang secretly said: "This old man's lobby is different from other places, and such a rude little girl will also attach her head to the hall when she arrives." So he drank and asked, "Xiang'er, are you guilty?" Xiang'er said: "Hui Yu, the grass people don't know what the crime is." Master Zhang said: "Someone accused you of illegally robbing people in Yihong Courtyard and injuring many people, you can plead guilty." ”

Xiang'er said: "There is such a thing as robbing people, but it is not illegal, and there are also things about beating people, but there is no crime." Master Zhang said angrily: "You Diao Min, how can you say that you are not guilty of robbing and beating people, you are obviously teasing your own official." Xiang'er secretly thought: "The true form of this dog official will be revealed, and he clearly wants to convict me, it seems that he is too polite to him, making him think that his county hall is majestic and inviolable, and when he arrives in his hall, it is equivalent to entering a cage." I think you're delusional. If I don't give you some color, see if you're awake. ”

Seeing that Xiang'er was silent, Master Zhang continued to ask, "Xiang'er." You are convicted. Xiang'er said: "The grass people are not guilty. Master Zhang said angrily: "You still dare to tease the official, if you don't teach you a lesson, you won't admit your guilt. Xiang'er said: "Slow down, the grass people have something to say." The catchers were about to act, when they heard Xiang'er say that they were slow and immediately stood still, because they all knew that this little girl was the master who was not afraid of heaven and earth, and she said that she would fight. They don't want to suffer from flesh and skin.

Master Zhang said: "Are you guilty, you won't tease the official again." Xiang'er said: "It's you who is teasing you." Zhang Dadao: "You Diao Min, you dare to tease the official, do you think the official is such a stupid person?" Xiang'er said: "You are not stupid, you are pretending to be confused, you want you to try the case and ask the guilt to always have the plaintiff and the defendant and the witness evidence, you say someone sues me, someone sues me, you say I am guilty, then I am not wrongfully killed, is it that the adult used to try cases like this." Zhang Dadao: "Of course not. Even what you said still makes some sense, Xia Zhutou. You go and bring all the people involved in the case to the court, and then see what Miss Xiang'er has to say. ”

Xia Zhutou responded and walked towards the outside of the lobby with a few catchers, and when he walked to the door, the people watching the excitement automatically made a way for the catchers to take people. Everyone was talking outside again.

Calming down in the lobby, Xiang'er said, "Sisters, get up and sit, I don't think I have to kneel." They got up and sat on the ground, Xiang'er found a chair to sit on the side, Lord Zhang and the catchers didn't say much, they didn't want to cause more trouble.

Master Zhang saw that the master kept writing there, so he asked, "Master, what are you writing there?" The master said: "Write the trial record you just now." Master Zhang scolded: "Remember a fart, the case hasn't started yet, can you write it just now?" The master hurriedly crumpled the written and threw it into the wastebasket.

Xia Zhutou and Catcher brought Uncle Xiong, Fourth Sister **, Ghost Jiuniang, Big Dog and Second Dog, and Uncle Xiong's injured men into the lobby. **Seeing Lord Zhang was like seeing a savior, kneeling and crying: "Lord Qingtian, you have to be the master of the people's wife." Master Zhang said, "The woman in the hall reported her name." **When I heard it, I felt inexplicable and replied: "Lord Zhang, you don't know me, I'm the fourth sister!"

Xia Zhutou scolded: "You can know your bones if you peel the skin, and act according to the rules, don't report it from the truth." **Only then did she realize that the case was tried in the county hall, and she replied: "Lord Hui, the fourth sister of the grass people is from Yihong Courtyard." Zhang Dadao: "What grievances are there to tell the truth." ** said: "Someone came to my Yihong Courtyard to rob people for no reason, and injured many people." Zhang Dadao: "Where is that person now?" ** said: "Her name is Xiang'er, and she is now in the hall." As he spoke, he pointed to Xiang'er, who was kneeling like everyone else at this time to listen to the trial.

Master Zhang said: "Xiang'er, this person has all the witnesses, what else do you have to say, don't confess your guilt quickly and avoid the pain of flesh and skin." Xiang'er said: "My lord, you can't listen to her, she said that I went to Yihong Courtyard to rob people for no reason, and why should the people I take away are from her Yihong Courtyard." ** said: "They have been in my Yihong Courtyard for three years. Xiang'er said: "My lord, look how old these three girls are." Zhang said, "How do I know." ** said: "I know, Liu Wu is thirteen years old, Tianniu is ten years old, and Xiaoju is nine years old." Xiang'er said, "My lord, now you know how old they are." Zhang Dadao: "I know, what can I prove." ”

Xiang'er said: "Isn't this provable? How many years have people's parents and parents been born and raised, how did they become people from her Yihong Courtyard." ** said: "We paid for it." Xiang'er said: You also said that I was also bought by you with money, what evidence is there? ** said: "Of course there is evidence, we have written evidence for buyers." As he spoke, he took out a few notes from He Bao, and Mr. Zhang said, "Take the notes." Xia Zhutou came over and took the note in his hand and handed it to Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang took the note and looked at it and said: "Xiang'er, what else do you have to say now, the human and material evidence is there, even you are a person from Yihong Courtyard, people are magnanimous and let you go, you don't know how to be grateful and will take revenge." ”

Xiang'er secretly thought: "It's impossible to expect the county magistrate to handle it impartially, or rely on fists to be faster than knives." Thinking of this, Xiang'er stood up and walked towards the court case, Xia Zhutou said, "How can you stand up, you have to kneel to talk to adults." Xiang'er said coldly: "Rules, you officials don't talk about the rules, what rules do I talk about when I go to the rivers and lakes, I want to check the evidence." Xia Zhutou said: "You don't have this power." Xianghui raised his hand and punched Xia Zhutou's left eye, Xia Zhutou didn't react at all and was punched, covering his eyes and squatting aside, and the other catchers were about to pounce, Xiang'er snatched a single knife in his hand in a flash, and shouted: "It's better for you all to be honest, don't blame me for being ruthless if the sword hurts you without eyes." "The catchers don't dare to move.

Xiang'er walked to the front of the court with a single knife and said: "Please show the note to this girl, if it is really reasonable, you will be punished, but if the scoundrel says that you can be impartial, if not, we will take these evidence to the prefect to theorize, the prefect will go to the capital regardless of us, if you don't dare to go, then you will be at a loss, I will kill you with a knife, and you will have no troubles." Master Zhang raised his trembling hand and handed the ** notes to Xiang'er. (To be continued......)
