Putting on his poncho, Liu Dapao walked in the rain with his hands behind his back. He walked to the kneeling woman, raised his head, looked at the black curtain above the rain curtain and said softly: "Let's talk?"

The woman turned her head and didn't look at him at all.

"Aren't you afraid of something happening to your body if you're just being drenched in the rain like this?"

The woman still didn't speak.

"Okay, you don't want to talk to me, right? Don't you believe Qiu Yan? I'm waiting for him too. If you have any questions, let's talk about it together when Qiu Yan comes back."

Then, Liu Dapao just stood there in the storm for half an hour, looking at the rain, clouds, and sky without saying anything, so that even the woman couldn't help but look back.

I looked at him and couldn't figure out what was wrong with him.

Half an hour later, Qiu Yan finally arrived late. He was still wearing ordinary shorts and no poncho. He was as wet as a drowned rat. After arriving, he nodded slightly to Liu Dapao to say hello, but before Liu Dapao could wait,

After Cannon spoke, he took off his clothes first, revealing his muscular upper body.

Then, he put the clothes on the woman's body. The woman's clothes were severely damaged by the water.

Although, judging from this woman's current appearance, which looks like she is 60 years old, no one is interested in looking at her.

"Master Bear"

Liu Dapao felt unhappy, and instinctively wanted to say that I can't bear to be called "Father" by you, but when the words came to his lips, he held back.

Pretending to be ignorant, he nodded and said with a hum, "Can the three of us find a place to chat where we won't be disturbed?"

At this time, the woman finally spoke up: "Master Qiu, this man is the government's lackey Black Heart Bear. He is the boss of the darkest gang in the local area. He is not worthy of trust at all."

Liu Dapao smiled bitterly without explaining, but Qiu Yan shook his head and said: "The girl must have misunderstood Gang Leader Xiong. Although Master Xiong has his position, I think he is definitely not a heinous person."

"A year ago, he was the one who threatened my parents-in-law and forced me to withdraw the lawsuit and go home."

Qiu Yan said, "There is nothing wrong with Xiong Changmen's stance. At least, he did not kill you, girl, afterwards."

Liu Dapao touched his nose in embarrassment upon hearing this.

"On the contrary, girl, I thought that Boss Xiong was actually an expert. I will tell you the truth. After my investigation, your matter is indeed extremely difficult. I also suggest that we might as well have a chat. I don't know, there will really be a problem.

The solution is not certain either.”

The woman was stunned when she heard this, but she really didn't expect that this Qiu Daxia would have such a high opinion of the scumbag Black Heart Bear.

Of course, for him, Qiu Yan is certainly trustworthy enough. It can even be said that Qiu Yan is his only support.

The three of them simply came to their car. Meng Yi also alertly delivered a large pot of ginger soup that he had cooked to the car, and also gave an old piece of clothes for Qiu Yan, who was already shirtless, to put on.

Liu Dapao first served Qiu Yan and the woman a bowl of ginger soup, and then he slowly drank the bowl himself. When his body had warmed up, he asked Qiu Yan first: "I wonder if you have been here this morning.

What are you busy with?"

"It's just looking for some witnesses and files from that year."

Liu Dapao smiled and said: "Did you get the file, or did you find the witness?"

Qiu Yan shook his head when he heard this and said: "None of them. I have no right to access the files, and no one in the Yamen is willing to tell me the details of the case. With the clues provided by Mrs. Xin, I probably found a few witnesses today, but they

None of them are willing to testify."

Liu Dapao nodded and said: "If this case hadn't been tried personally by the magistrate, you might have been retried for making such a fuss like this. After all, although the Huang family can be regarded as a family of officials, it wouldn't be the case in Yangzhou City.

, and it’s not like no one can afford to offend.”

"However, since this case is being tried personally by the prefect, as long as it is a common person in Yangzhou, they will not dare to testify for you. Furthermore, in my opinion, the difficulty of this case may not be that it is difficult to obtain evidence, but that it is not possible at all.

Retrial, in fact, if this case can really be retried, collecting evidence will be much simpler."

Hearing this, the woman interjected: "I understand what you mean, but if this case cannot be retried in one day, I will kneel to death here and never get up. I know you want to say that it is useless, but if it is really useless, you

Why is Mr. Xiong so nervous, and why is he still talking to a miserable person like me? You are all powerful people, so why don't you just kill me, a weak woman?"

Qiu Yan also said: "I believe that there is no shortage of room for reasoning in this world. When the country is in full swing, Yangzhou will put pressure on people and punish them without trial, and they will go to Beijing without trial."

Liu Dapao also nodded when he heard this: "What you think is probably correct. It's just an attempt to attract higher attention from the Yangzhou government through public opinion. In fact, if this set of practices were adopted from other states and counties, it would indeed be wrong.

It is possible to succeed, but in Yangzhou, it is difficult."

"Because Yangzhou is a large state after Kaifeng, and may even surpass Kaifeng in terms of economy and population alone, so the prefects of Yangzhou have always been low-ranking and high-ranking, and Prefect Yang has a very high political status in the court.

, I can tell you with certainty that in the entire Yangzhou East Road, whether it is punishment or transfer, the political status is actually lower than that of Magistrate Yang."

"In the entire Jiangnan East Road, the only one who can surpass Yang Zhifu in terms of official status is Wei Jiedu. However, in recent years, the imperial court has deliberately suppressed military power and flattery. Not only Yangzhou East Road, but also sixteen Jiedu envoys in the world

Except for the two towns of Xiongzhou and Qinzhou, the rest of the Jiedu envoys have been weakening at least in terms of judicial power and financial power. Wei Jiedu has not had time to hide for this kind of thing."

"So your only hope is to go to Beijing to file a complaint. If public opinion ferments, your case will definitely be taken seriously by the censors who want to become famous. Maybe it will go straight to Tianting. However, you think that if the officials know

If he finds out about this matter, who will he send to investigate the case?"

"Governor Yang is from the second rank. As long as he is transferred back to Beijing, he must be involved in political affairs. Among the civil servants, who can stabilize and suppress Magistrate Yang when he comes to Yangzhou? There are only a few ministers from the Government Hall, right? Who among these ministers?

Is it appropriate to ignore countless national affairs and come all the way to Yangzhou to help you try this small case? Do you think this is possible?"

"Of course, I believe that among these ministers, there must be governor Yang's backers and political opponents. If my inference is correct, the matter will most likely be sent back to the place of origin for retrial, and the political opponents of Governor Yang will also be

I will definitely send a low-ranking official like the Censor to disgust Magistrate Yang and stumbling upon him."

"In other words, the person who will preside over the case will be Magistrate Yang himself. Qiu Yan, do you really think someone dares to give this testimony? If it is just a simple oral confession, is this really ironclad evidence? It cannot be ironclad proof.

It must be that there is no doubt that the crime is innocent.

Don’t say that Magistrate Yang is corrupt and perverting the law. As a bad commander, I consider myself one of the people who knows the laws of Zhou Dynasty best. I can tell you clearly that in the case last year, Magistrate Yang confiscated the money. For someone of his status

It is impossible for an official to collect money directly, nor does he look down upon such a small sum, and his judgment is even in line with the spirit of justice.

Because I remember that the case was a mutual beating. Your husband fought back when he was beaten. Mr. Huang’s face seemed to have been scratched, right?

Fighting is essentially a civil case, and the judicial spirit advocates reconciliation. Although people died, I remember that they were not beaten to death on the spot, but died in the medical clinic. As long as the Huang family can bribe the doctors back then,

If it proves that your husband was seriously ill, then he could have died of illness.

We really have to be strict with the laws. We don't have hooligan crimes in Dazhou, so Mr. Huang can fight each other in lawsuits. On the contrary, it's not difficult for you to convict one of you of obstructing justice, disturbing public places, making false accusations, and even provoking trouble.

Even if this case is retried, the presiding judge will only be Prefect Yang himself. Do you really think this case can be reversed? Public opinion? It’s nothing in the face of real rights! This is Yangzhou, and the prefect will be the prime minister in the future.

, can national events be changed based on mere public opinion?"

Hearing this, both Qiu Yan and the woman's faces turned ugly.

Obviously, they had not thought about it so much before. According to Liu Dapao, even if this matter could really get into the hands of the officials, it would most likely be in vain in the end. It would just add a little trouble to the prefect.

Just disgusting.

"And all of this is actually based on the situation where public opinion is arousing and everything is going smoothly. I think you will have an estimate in your own mind. What I want to say is, in fact, I have

There is a way to prevent this public opinion from arousing public opinion."

"Girl, have you seen that shop selling gluten? Do you know who are in that shop? These are the wives, children, and children of heroes who actually died on the battlefield. Coach Qiu knows my relationship with them very well.

They listened to me very much."

"Qiu Yan, you said that if I let the orphans and widows of Wangjiacun make trouble with you, and find a few old men to voluntarily die in your hands, do I have the ability to reverse this public opinion? Or even let you become

What about the traitor that everyone calls the traitor who can be beaten? Girl, when the time comes, let alone redress your grievances, the best outcome for you will be to die as a result of your guilt. If you die, you will not even be able to survive."

When the woman heard this, her face turned pale, her fists were clenched, her whole body was shaking, and she even wanted to strangle Liu Dapao to death. However, Qiu Yan was not worried but happy when he heard this, saying:

"Mr. Xiong, since you have told us all this method, you must not only not intend to do this, but also want to help us? I know that you seem to be vicious, but in fact you are old-fashioned, warm-hearted, and quite narrow-minded. Madam, you

Don’t worry, Master Xiong is much smarter than me, he will definitely find a way.”

Liu Dapao glanced at him after hearing this, and the emotions in his heart were extremely complicated.

Ten thousand old sayings are stuck in my throat and I can't spit them out.

He still couldn't tell whether Qiu Yan was really stupid or fake.

I had no choice but to continue talking about the topic: "I do have an idea that is not yet mature. Maybe I can really avenge you, girl. But girl, if I use this method, you will die first."

The woman immediately said: "As long as I can get justice, I am not afraid of death. Now that I am here, I have no intention of living anymore. No matter whether this case can be overturned or not, I am dead."

"Very good. You are so self-aware, which saves me a lot of trouble."

With that said, Liu Dapao picked up the bowl again, filled himself a bowl of ginger water and drank it slowly.

Seeing that he was silent and showing off, the woman came forward and knelt down and said, "I dare to ask Mr. Xiong where the law comes from."

"Why should I tell you?"

When the woman heard this, she was completely stunned.

Don't want to tell me that you told me so much?

Are you playing?!

However, after Liu Dapao's sincere words, she had indeed regarded Liu Dapao as the only life-saving straw. She immediately knelt down and said: "I am in the shape of a willow tree. Master Xiong will definitely not like me. I am about to die.

I have nothing to offer, and I don’t know how to repay you. I will hold grass in my hand and make a ring in my next life. Master Xiong will certainly not be too lazy to listen to this. I would like to ask Master Xiong to tell me clearly what I want my concubine to do.”

"I just want to know who brought you from the countryside to Yangzhou City and how."

"This... is, someone came to me and told me that a kind-hearted and righteous Coach Qiu came to Yangzhou City. He might be able to take over my matter. He also persuaded me, and then..."

"who is he?"

"I...I don't know."

"Do you not know, or don't want to say it? Girl, this person is most likely here for Coach Qiu. Because of this matter of yours, I just received a beating from Magistrate Yang, and I will have to fight again tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow.

If you want to take the initiative to lead the fight again, this person is our enemy. Instructor Qiu and I risked our lives to help you, but you want to protect our enemy, is that so? Instructor Qiu and I are cheap, right?"

"I...but I...I really don't know him. Master Xiong, Coach Qiu, you are all good people."

"How can a good person be bullied by you like this? Besides, Coach Qiu is the good person, not me. Don't forget what I do."

When the woman heard this, she fell silent.

"Okay, then you can wait until you become a traitor."

Then Liu Dapao raised his legs and walked away. Naturally, the woman hugged his thighs tightly.

"I really don't know who that person is, and he didn't tell me his name, but if I see that person again, I can recognize him. I remember his appearance."

"Okay, go to the store, I'll find a painter, you can describe it and draw a picture."

"You...you haven't said yet how you want to help me redress my injustice."

Hearing this, Liu Dapao raised his head and glanced at the rain outside.
