While the two were talking, they suddenly saw a group of people gathered in the distance. Fang Jinzhi and Tianxing looked at each other and squeezed into the crowd. As soon as they got closer, they heard an old man sitting in a car.
In front of the carriage, one hand is holding a leg, and the other is holding a person's clothes. "My leg!! My leg is broken!!" "You hit me, don't run away, you have to pay me!!" Then
The old man's face was covered with blood, and his face was full of pain. He looked extremely miserable. The man being pulled by the old man had a face full of flesh and a fierce look. After hearing the old man's words, the man even pointed at
The old man cursed:
"Old guy, I think you are tired of living." "If you dare to blackmail me for money, I will send you back to the west today." "You want money? I have plenty of money, but I have to wait for you.
After I die, I will burn it for you!!" After saying that, the man planned to return to the carriage, and it seemed that he really wanted to crush the old man to death.
When the old man saw this, he immediately wanted to retreat with fear on his face. Just when Fang Jinzhi wanted to step forward to help, the government officials from Tianjing New City finally arrived. "Stop!!" The government officials quickly entered the scene, and then without saying a word,
They arrested all the people from both parties. "Sir, I am unjustly accused." When the man saw the yamen coming, he did not dare to be arrogant anymore and kept shouting that he was unjustly accused.
"Now that I'm arresting you for affecting public transportation and intentionally injuring others, you can remain silent." "But everything you say will be used as evidence in court." After saying that, he took away the man and the carriage, including the old man.
He was also taken away. There was no trace of sloppiness and the work was done very quickly.
Fang Jinzhi felt that these government officials were very efficient in their work and was very satisfied. "It looks like that man will definitely go to jail." "Jail? What kind of jail?" "That man will probably be released without charge tomorrow." A commoner next to him said
It was to laugh at Fang Jinzhi's ignorance.
Fang Jinzhi was stunned and looked at the person who spoke without knowing why. The person chuckled and said mysteriously: "Hey, this guy is not an ordinary person. All the adults in Dali Temple recognize him." "You'll see tomorrow."
"Fang Jinzhi was puzzled. This man hurt people on the street and even took their lives. How could he escape punishment?
We want to see how this Dali Temple will judge the case? If Dali Temple dares to bend the law for personal gain, we will never let him go! Fang Jinzhi has been tired from running around in recent days and has no intention of going out for a stroll at night. Because he has to get up early tomorrow morning to watch the Dali Temple trial.
Fang Jinzhi fell asleep early.
However, Fang Jinzhi did not sleep well that night. He only felt that the outside world was very noisy. Even at night, the sounds from the outside world did not stop. And thinking about what happened this afternoon, Fang Jinzhi tossed and turned until the early morning before he could fall asleep.
But not long after falling asleep, Fang Jinzhi woke up.
The habit of going to court for many years made him wake up early before dawn. Looking at the dark sky outside, Fang Jinzhi immediately started washing and dressing. In his opinion, it won't be long before the Dali Temple
It was time to open an office to try the case. After all, there were so many things going on in Tianjing New City every day, and if Hua Jieyu wanted to deal with them all, he had to get up early and go to bed late.
Soon, Fang Jinzhi called all the people together. This time to go to Dali Temple for trial, Fang Jinzhi had to bring two of his men. They quickly finished washing up, and went out to Dali Temple at dawn. Fang Jinzhi
What I didn't expect was that even though it was getting dark so early, the sounds of hawking had already started on the streets.
But this time, all they were selling were breakfast items, steamed buns and the like. Looking at the hawking sounds on both sides of the street, Fang Jinzhi didn't know how to describe this feeling.
Today, Jingxin City is so busy day and night, never stopping. However, Fang Jinzhi was anxious to watch the trial, so naturally he was not in the mood to have breakfast nearby, and just hurried on. After a while, Fang Jinzhi finally arrived at the gate of Dali Temple. But with
The bustle on the street was different. There was no one at the entrance of Dali Temple, and even the official door of Tianjing New City was not opened. Fang Jinzhi directly signaled the guards to knock on the door, but after knocking for a long time, no one answered.
It seems that there is really no one in Dali Temple now. Fang Jinzhi felt incredible. Looking at the sun that was about to rise, Fang Jinzhi felt that Dali Temple had forgotten the time today. Then, Fang Jinzhi turned around and saw a breakfast not far away.
He turned around and walked towards the stall.
"Hello, may I ask why our Dali Temple is not on duty yet?" "Are you a foreigner?" The boss is a middle-aged man with a kind face. Fang Jinzhi explained: "We, the Dali Temple masters, are here at 9 o'clock."
I just started going to work now." Fang Jinzhi said in shock: "Isn't it already three o'clock in the morning?" "What if someone is handling the case?"
The boss said kindly: "Don't worry. If you report a crime, just go to the police station. There will be people on duty there at any time." "If something happens, the police station will send officers to solve it." Police station? What is that? Why have we never heard of it?
This organization? "Boss, what is this police station?" The boss continued to answer patiently:
"The police station was specially set up by the city lord to resolve neighborhood disputes?" "Whether it is a district or a lower level, there are police stations." "Don't we have many schools in Tianjing New City?" "After graduating from these schools, outstanding students will
You can go to the police station to work."
Fang Jinzhi understood. Isn't this the village elder system he set up? It's just that he asked the gentry elders in the village to help govern, and Yang Peng asked the police station to help govern, and it was more thorough. But what Fang Jinzhi was really angry about was Yang Peng's
He is passive and neglectful in politics, leaving everything to the police station, so what does he do?
"The city lord is so lazy. Aren't he afraid that government affairs will be neglected and cause resentment among the people?" The boss said: "Then you are wrong. Our city lord said that all these unruly people are just a big deal." "Leave it to the police station for mediation, which is more than enough. Only
We, the Dali Temple, will only come forward to solve the problem of hurting people and killing people." "Otherwise, if the city lord is busy with all the miscellaneous things, how can he still think about how to develop Tianjing New City?" Fang Jinzhi was stunned and thought to say
There is some truth in it, but there is something wrong with it.
Just as he was about to continue asking, a guest came next to him, and Fang Jinzhi didn't want to disturb the boss's business. He sat down directly and asked the boss to serve him some steamed buns and porridge. In this way, Fang Jinzhi waited until half past nine, and the gate of the Yamen opened.
Open slowly.
"Mighty~wu~" The common people who came to hear the trial crowded at the gate of the county government office, wanting to see how the case was tried in Dali Temple. Hua Jieyu, who was dressed in official robes, sat high in the lobby and slapped the crowd.
He shouted: "Bring the prisoner up." Soon, the government officials forced an old man and the man from yesterday to go to the court.
Fang Jinzhi saw that both of them were wearing a pair of silver-white bracelets on their hands, which looked extremely strange. However, people were accustomed to it, so it seemed that this was a local instrument of torture in Tianjing New City. "Who is in the hall?" "Sir, sir,
It’s me! Did I have dinner with you in heaven and on earth?”
The man also hurriedly spoke out, hoping that Hua Jieyu would recognize him. "Shut up, how can you be allowed to marry someone in court?" Hua Jieyu interrupted directly and shouted: "If you dare to talk nonsense again,
I'll push you down and hit the board." The man immediately lowered his head and did not dare to speak, but what was strange was that the old man had kept his head buried since he came to the lobby, as if he was afraid of being seen by Hua Jieyu.
Hua Jieyu turned to look at the government servant next to her and asked, "Why were they arrested?" "Sir, the man hit someone with a carriage." "Another case of a carriage hitting someone?" Hua Jieyu frowned.
He got up. Then he looked at the person who was hit. He seemed familiar and shouted:
"Old man, raise your head." Hearing the words, the old man trembled all over, but he did not dare to disobey Hua Jieyu's words and slowly raised his head. When Hua Jieyu saw the man's face clearly, he shouted loudly.
"Sun Sijiu!!!" When Sun Sijiu's name was revealed, he immediately panicked and started to beg for mercy. "Pa!" Hua Jieyu didn't give Sun Sijiu a chance at all and pulled out a punishment lot from the table.
, Hua Jieyu threw it to the ground hard and said loudly: "Drag it out, hit fifty big boards, and then throw it out of Tianjing New City!!"
"Okay, Mr. Hua made a good judgment!" "Your Excellency is very aware of everything. He is the Qingtian Master of Tianjing New City." As soon as Hua Jieyu finished his sentence, some people around him began to applaud.
Fang Jinzhi stared at this scene dumbfounded, unable to turn his head around for a moment. Isn't this old man a victim? Why was he punished? This flower explanation clearly does not distinguish between right and wrong, and confuses right and wrong. "My lord, I am wronged, little one."
Unjustly accused!" Hua Jieyu didn't pay any attention to him. He was dragged out directly and started beating the boards. After Sun Sijiu was beaten until he was dying and his buttocks were bloody and bloody, the government officials came back to report:
"Sir, the beating is over." "Throw it out." Hua Jieyu waved her hand, as if to shoo away flies, and asked the Yamen servant to throw Sun Sijiu out. Fang Jinzhi stood there stupidly, as if there was a volcano brewing in his heart.
Is this how Hua Jieyu tried the case? Just because the defendant knew him, he beat the victim half to death? Then he threw him out of Tianjing New City and left him to fend for himself? Seeing that the case was over, the people dispersed one after another
.
Tian Xing also reminded Fang Jinzhi and said: "Holy girl, let's go too." "This Hua Jieyu is really strange. He was obviously the victim, but he was beaten so badly!" Wanchun also said from the side: "I
Look at this Hua Jieyu, it’s like officials are protecting each other.” “That man shouted at the beginning that he knew Hua Jieyu, and Hua Jieyu certainly wouldn’t find him guilty.” “Holy girl, I think this Hua Jieyu is a dog official, nothing more.
Good thing." Qiuxia also nodded with deep sympathy. As the city lord of the Mu Shou side, but he doesn't make decisions for the people, isn't he just a dog official?
Several people looked at Fang Jinzhi in unison, and saw that Fang Jinzhi's face was already livid with anger at this time. "Holy girl, there may be a hidden reason for this matter." "I think the people around me seem to have different views on this matter."
"Hua Jieyu tried the case in public. If this matter is really an unjust case, then the people would probably have started to stir up trouble long ago. It is better to wait for an investigation before making a decision." Fang Jinzhi's murderous aura froze, and Tian Xing hurriedly gave advice when he saw this.
Said: "Holy girl, I feel that the old man who was beaten didn't seem to be attending the church for the first time."
"He has lowered his head since he entered the hall and did not dare to raise his head." "When Hua Jieyu called out his name, he was so frightened that he shivered. Wei Chen felt that the matter should not be that simple." At this time, Fang Jinzhi said
Thinking of the person the person mentioned yesterday who the county magistrate knew. He originally thought it was the man who hit someone, but now it seems that he is not. Fang Jinzhi slowly put away his momentum and said:
"Let's go find someone to ask." Then, Fang Jinzhi came to the stall where he had eaten in the morning and saw that the boss was still setting up the stall. Fang Jinzhi stepped forward and asked: "Boss, what happened to the county government's verdict just now?"
Did you say it?"
The boss said: "Not only have I heard about it, I also went to see it myself!" Fang Jinzhi quickly asked: "Then do you think Dali Temple adjudicated the case correctly?" "Of course, our Dali Temple can distinguish right from wrong and understand everything. This kind of thing
How could things be misjudged?" The boss immediately gave Fang Jinzhi a thumbs up and kept praising Hua Jieyu.
"Why is this? The victim was sentenced to fifty bucks, and the perpetrator was acquitted on the spot. Isn't this a reversal of right and wrong? An unjust, false, and wrongful conviction?" The boss burst out laughing after hearing Fang Jinzhi's words, and explained: "Sir, you have
Unknown to everyone, the person who was beaten was Sun Sijiu, a famous street kid in Tianjing New City." "He was good at eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling. In order to pay off his gambling debts, he sold his only daughter." "
His wife also hanged herself because of this, but he didn't know how to restrain himself."
"That man is a swindler. He is a habitual offender. He has been arrested by the police station many times." "I recently learned a trick from somewhere. I specialize in picking out outsiders on the road. When I see a carriage, I will lie down on the ground to extort money from others.
." "Dali Temple calls this as if...it's a ploy." "I have been beaten many times by the city lord. However, despite repeated admonitions, I still persist in cheating and abducting." "This time I drove this man out of Tianjing New City for the same reason.
Tianjing New City has eradicated a major scourge." The boss talked eloquently, but Fang Jinzhi and others were stunned for a while.
They couldn't believe that the old man looked very kind, but they didn't expect him to be such a person. Wanchun and Qiuxia also looked at each other. As Li Jin said, these people are really unruly, and there are all kinds of people. But
Fang Jinzhi still had doubts and asked: "Boss, are everything you said true?" The boss's face was stern and he said angrily: "That's natural, I can still lie to you."
Seeing that the boss was unhappy, Fang Jinzhi didn't say much, but he still planned to go and take a look in person. Fang Jinzhi directly asked the guards to come to the carriage, and then went to look for the old man to see if the old man was what the boss said.
Under the constant inquiries of the guards, Fang Jinzhi quickly found the old man.
From a distance, the old man looked extremely miserable, with his buttocks beaten to a bloody pulp. His clothes were ragged, and his body was hunched over. He was walking shaky and shaky towards the outside of Tianjing New City, as if he would fall down at any time. Because he was out of Tianjing
On the outskirts of the new city, there was no one around, and the government officials were no longer around. Fang Jinzhi couldn't bear to see the old man like this, so he asked the guards to drive the carriage forward, wanting to help the old man.
As a result, before Fang Jinzhi came close, Sun Sijiu heard the sound of a carriage behind him, and suddenly became more flexible. His legs were no longer lame, and his buttocks no longer hurt. In an instant, he crossed to the middle of the road, and then... lay down
Fang Jinzhi and others were stunned, looking at Sun Sijiu lying in front of his carriage in shock. "Holy girl, why is this man lying down?" "We haven't hit him yet!!"
Just when Qiuxia was confused, Sun Sijiu on the ground began to howl heartbreakingly again: "Ah, my leg! My leg is broken!!!" "It's you, it's you who killed me.
My leg was broken, pay for it!!" Fang Jinzhi looked at the familiar scene and felt his head explode with a bang!! "Don't even think about running away, this is Tianjing New City, and you will be jailed for hurting others.
"If you don't give me money, the city lord will definitely put you in jail. At that time, you will still be the one who suffers!!!" Sun Sijiu didn't care who was in front of him, he only knew that this deal could not be dirty anymore.
, otherwise he will starve to death!!
Qiuxia has a bad temper. How could he not know what happened at this time? "You bitch! White-eyed wolf, I have to beat you to death today!!!" Qiuxia couldn't bear it anymore and just kicked her.
He kicked him up. "It's a murder, come here!!!" "These outsiders not only bump into people, but also beat them, come here!!" Sun Sijiu on the ground was beaten wildly by Qiuxia, but there was still something in his mouth.
Keep shouting.
After all, Tian Xing was soft-hearted and stepped forward to hold Qiuxia and let Qiuxia continue to beat him. The old man was really beaten to death. "Forget it, Qiuxia, let's go!!" Fang Jinzhi knew the truth of the matter at this time.
, and was not in the mood to waste any more time on such a bastard, so he took Qiuxia and planned to leave.
"You can't leave, you can't leave!!" "You have to compensate me for my money!" Sun Sijiu was still unwilling to give up. It was obvious that he was very persistent in making money.
Fang Jinzhi laughed out loud at this bitch and cursed: "Turn off the lights, we didn't bump into you just now, so why should we pay you?" "Do you still want Dali Temple to give you another fifty blows?"
When Sun Sijiu mentioned Dali Temple, he shivered reflexively, but then he said:
"You didn't hit me, but you beat me." "Just now your maid kicked me five times. According to the law, you have to pay me money, or you will be detained." "This is the first time we heard this.
They say, those who have no money earn money by being beaten, and those who have money spend it with their feet." Fang Jinzhi was completely angered by Sun Sijiu's unreasonable troubles, pointed directly at Sun Sijiu and roared angrily:
"Throw him out, throw him to Qinzhou, we never want to see him again in this life!!" The guards stepped forward and took Sun Sijiu, who still didn't know what was going to happen, into custody.
Tianxing came forward at this time and asked:
"Holy Girl, are we going back to Tianjing New City?" Fang Jinzhi took a deep breath and said, "Go back! We want to see if Yang Peng is as good as the people say!!" When Fang Jinzhi returned to Tianjing New City again,
It was getting dark. However, the number of people on the street not only did not decrease, but became more and more numerous.
Some couples are holding hands and walking side by side on the street, looking very intimate. Some are families of four, walking leisurely on the street, with the children holding their favorite snacks in their hands. Seeing this
At this scene, Queen Ma laughed happily:
"Fang Jinzhi, look at that kid, he looks just like Lao Si, who was naughty and mischievous when he was a child." At this time, Fang Jinzhi gradually smiled and said, "Wan Chun is much more lively than him." Qiuxia and Wan Chun, who were listening in, had their expressions on their faces.
There was also a little more smile on the face.
The night was getting darker, but there was no curfew in Tianjing New City at all. Just like there was no need for a guide when entering the city, it was like a truly free city. After Fang Jinzhi, Tian Xing and the others had dinner together, they saw colorful hangings hanging on the street.
lanterns. Even at night, it doesn't look dark at all.
"Saint, let's go to the city center for a walk? I went to bed early last night and didn't have time to go shopping!" Wanchun suggested at this time. After hearing this, Fang Jinzhi was noncommittal. He was too tired last night, so he didn't see what he saw today.
The grand scene, I want to take a good look at the night view of Tianjing New Town tonight.
A few people started walking towards the county center. Along the way, they saw all kinds of people, but without exception, these people all had happy smiles on their faces. Infected by the city atmosphere, Fang Jinzhi also had a smile on his face.
Finally arriving at the center of the city, Fang Jinzhi saw the sign of Heaven and Earth at a glance. Among the many shop signs, this Heaven and Earth was really eye-catching. However, the next scene made the smile on Fang Jinzhi's face gradually fade away.
I saw many topless women standing in front of the door of the heaven and earth, all dressed up in colorful clothes, enchanting and charming. The women standing at the door of the heaven and earth were not stunningly beautiful, but the clothes they wore
A gauze dress and black fishnet-like socks on her legs make people want to stop.
It seems that it can attract people's attention, making people want to look at it again. And these women don't care about the strange eyes of the people around them, and they are posing there. Some of them are bold and even go up to pull the passing men.
She said softly:
"Uncle, come in and play!!" "Come on, uncle, it's so much fun here!" That enchanting figure, coupled with the seductive words, is really too much for people. I have never seen such a battle.
Wan Chun stood nearby and kept swallowing his saliva, looking unbearably hot. "Have you seen enough? Two people who have never seen the world are really embarrassing to us!!"
Fang Jinzhi snorted coldly and immediately scolded the two of them until their faces turned red. When Tianxing saw the two of them like this, he suggested turning around in another direction. At this time, when the lights were on and the night was fading, the people who went shopping could be said to be...
There was a lot of traffic. Fang Jinzhi, who had been shopping for a long time, finally felt a little depressed about seeing the heaven and earth just now. "Holy girl, this Tianjing New City is worthy of the title of the City of Freedom."
"Even at night, the flow of people is no less than during the day." "Not only that, many stores that are not open during the day are all open at night, which is really refreshing." Wan Chun excitedly shouted next to Fang Jinzhi
He shouted, apparently very satisfied with the grand occasion of Tianjing New City. Qiuxia also agreed from the side:
"Yes, Saint." "This Yang Peng can make Shanghu County so prosperous. No matter what kind of person he is, he must be capable." Fang Jinzhi looked at the streets with people coming and going, towering into the clouds.
Looking at the tall building, he couldn't help but sigh: "Yang Peng is a capable person." "This Tianjing New City is really a city of freedom, worthy of its name."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this sentence, a person next to him laughed and said: "The city of freedom? I think it is the city of sin." After hearing this, Fang Jinzhi was suddenly shocked and looked at the person who spoke. He saw that the person's face was gray.
He was defeated, his eyes were sunken, and his clothes were stained with a lot of dust. He was not neatly dressed like the local people at all, but more like a gambler in Hangzhou. However, Fang Jinzhi couldn't help but ask: "I don't know why your Excellency
That’s what you say?” “The grand occasion of Tianjing New City is obvious to all. Do you want to open your eyes and tell lies?”
But the man continued to sneer and said sarcastically: "You look like outsiders at first sight." "Who doesn't know, these are just the surface of Tianjing New City." "If you want to see the real situation of Tianjing New City, you'd better go there.
Let's take a look at the north of the city." "If this is heaven, then over there is hell!!" Fang Jinzhi suddenly thought, what this man said was true. Could it be that what he saw was really just a facade. He was being whitewashed by Yang Peng.
Taiping was deceived? All of this is actually a lie?
Fang Jinzhi's suspicion broke out again. Seeing that the man was about to leave, Fang Jinzhi stopped him and said, "I wonder if you can lead the way?" "I don't have time!!" The man refused directly. He naturally refused to do such a thing.
Fang Jinzhi took out five taels of silver from his pocket and said:
"I don't want you to work in vain, I just want you to lead the way." "Tell us about the situation in this city." When the man saw the silver that Fang Jinzhi took out, his eyes suddenly lit up, he nodded hurriedly, and said: "Then
We have a good relationship, and as long as you are willing to give money, we can talk about anything!" Under Fang Jinzhi's money offensive, the man soon began to talk non-stop, and began to introduce the specific situation of Tianjing New City to Fang Jinzhi.
"Our Tianjing New City is divided into five major urban areas, southeast, northwest, and middle." "The east and west of the city are divided into commercial areas and residential areas. Most things can be bought in the east of the city." "Because the east of the city is close to the seaside, so
All items for sale and purchase must be placed in the east side of the city." "And the south of the city is where officials gather. That is where the government office is located, and the city lord's residence is also over there." "Under our feet is the city, where we can eat and drink.
The place to have fun is the real gold-selling cave, which is said to let your prince enter and your eunuch leave."
"The restaurants, inns, brothels and gambling houses here are extremely luxurious and full of money, but they all have the shares of the city lord, and no one dares to reach out."
"As for the north of the city, it is the darkest place in the entire city. The black market is located there, known as the Devil's Cave." "There are no human rights there. It is a gathering place for extremely vicious people. Most people dare not go in." Hearing this person.
Fang Jinzhi's eyes narrowed slightly after the introduction was so detailed. All of these brothels and gambling houses actually had Yang Peng's shares. Judging from the popularity of these businesses, how much money could Yang Peng have embezzled? That's not all. In such a prosperous city,
There is actually an unknown side to him, which really surprised Fang Jinzhi.
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
