Naturally, Li Xiuyuan would not be frightened by Magistrate Liu's tactics.
The so-called official power has no effect in front of him. He is not an ordinary citizen, and his legs are half weak when he sees an official.
Li Xiuyuan said immediately: "Isn't it a little too fast for the magistrate to attack people now? Moreover, the magistrate seems to have forgotten one thing."
"What sophistry do you have?" Magistrate Liu glared at him.
Li Xiuyuan said: "My father was arrested for committing a crime. As a human son, Wansheng should inquire about the case and find out the doubts. If the matter is true, Wansheng should be willing to plead guilty. If he is not guilty, then please ask the county magistrate to release my father immediately and restore my father. And
The Li family is innocent."
He decided to be polite first and then fight. He would deal with Magistrate Liu for a while to see what Magistrate Liu's intention was before making a calculation.
"How outrageous. The evidence in Li Dafu's case is solid. How can we allow you to investigate whenever you want?" Magistrate Liu said in shock again.
"The imperial decree stipulates that anyone with a good reputation can review county government cases," Li Xiuyuan said.
Magistrate Liu opened his eyes wide: "What, there are still such regulations?"
"Ahem, sir, there is indeed such a rule. It was set by Emperor Taizu to prevent false cases and wrong cases from happening in the county, so it is for the scholars in the world to supervise." The master coughed a few times and said.
Obviously, the master is very clear about the laws and regulations of the court.
No wonder Magistrate Liu brought this master with him.
At this time, County Magistrate Liu pondered for a moment, and then shouted: "Li Dafu's case is extremely serious. The file has been sent to the prefect, not in the yamen. If you want to investigate the case, go to the prefect. There is no such file here.
."
Li Xiuyuan's face sank slightly, and his eyes were a little cold.
This is obviously a trick. The file cannot be sent to the prefect because the case has not happened for a few days.
It seems that Magistrate Liu is planning to act cruel.
"Li Xiuyuan, this case is extremely complicated. Your father used black magic to obtain other people's money, a total of 400,000 taels. I have already pronounced the verdict, and the evidence is conclusive. You are limited to the Li family to come up with 400,000 taels of silver and send it to the Yamen within three days.
Come here, otherwise, Li Dafu will be punished with an additional level of crime, and he will be sent to the border and will never come back."
Suddenly, Magistrate Liu shouted again, and the lion opened his mouth and said.
"County Magistrate Liu, do you really dare to open your mouth and you are not afraid of dying even with four hundred thousand taels?"
Li Xiuyuan said coldly: "On an unfounded charge, without even trying the case, you arrested my father directly, and you also wanted to blackmail my Li family for 400,000 taels. Magistrate Liu, why do you have it?"
"Hey, Li Xiuyuan, how dare you talk to me like this? I suspect that you were involved in your father's case in public. Mr. Xu will lead people to search the Li family tomorrow to see if there is anything related to witchcraft.
Something." Magistrate Liu was very angry when faced with Li Xiuyuan's attitude, and immediately stood up and said angrily.
Who does he think he is?
The emperor?
He is just a businessman's son. Even though he has the fame of being a child, he is not an official.
I am the county boss of Guobei County. I am in charge of taxation, justice, and education in Guobei County. I am also afraid of a mere Li family.
As long as he gives the order, the Li family can be pinched as much as they want.
Coincidentally, I also took this opportunity to raid the Li family and seize the Li family's immense wealth.
Capt. Xu's expression changed slightly, but he was secretly complaining in his heart, how could he, a captivity man, get mixed up in the troubled waters between the Li family and the county master.
This county boss is just right. The fourth generation of the Li family has run Guobei County. Guobei County will be shaken three times if he stomps his feet. It's a good thing that you took office for only one month and found an unfounded charge to take Li's life.
Rich, and he even asked for 400,000 taels of silver from the Li family. Isn't this a clear example of plundering?
Does the Li family agree to this?
"This Magistrate Liu is a confused official. He has no idea how deep the water in the Li family is. And the eldest young master of the Li family has a strong temper. Now that Magistrate Liu has detained his father, I am afraid that the conflict will get worse."
It’s so fierce.” Xu Captou thought to himself.
No matter how good-hearted Li Xiuyuan was at this time, he would still be angry.
"County Magistrate Liu, let me ask you, father, are you going to let him go or not?"
"Bold, Li Xiuyuan, I will tolerate you in every possible way because you are a child. You are so arrogant. Even if I can't tolerate it, the laws of the imperial court cannot tolerate it. Come on, bring this arrogant person into chaos."
Beat him with a stick." County Magistrate Liu shouted.
However, even though he said this, none of the government officials dared to actually beat Li Xiuyuan with a stick.
They are all from Guobei County, so they naturally understand the power of the Li family.
If anyone takes action this time, I'm afraid they won't be able to live in Guobei County anymore.
"I will leave on my own without Magistrate Liu taking action." Li Xiuyuan said coldly, "But let me put it down here. If my father has suffered any grievance or punishment in the cell, my Li family will repay it a hundred times."
All the government officials felt a chill in their hearts, and their hands and feet felt a little cold.
It's rare to see the eldest young master get really angry.
"A bright mirror hangs high? Humph, God is blind. Such a person is worthy of being an official, and he should be a dog in his next life." Li Xiuyuan snorted heavily and strode away.
As he hummed like this, there seemed to be something coming from somewhere.
The plaque hanging high above the county gate was originally bright and bright, but in the blink of an eye, its light dimmed, and several cracks appeared on it.
"Arrogant people, you are so angry at me." Magistrate Liu roared, picked up the gavel and threw it at Li Xiuyuan.
But after the gavel was thrown, it was too crooked and hit the doorpost next to it.
"Touch~!"
As if shocked by the shock, the hanging plaque above the lobby suddenly fell from the beam. With a bang, the four big characters hanging on it shattered into pieces, but the wooden plaque remained intact.
Everyone was startled and looked at Li Xiuyuan's retreating figure in the distance as if they had seen a ghost.
"Sorcery, witchcraft, this son of the Li family really knows how to perform witchcraft." Magistrate Liu was so ashamed that he was so frightened that he even dropped his official hat to the ground.
"However, the son of the Li family is so arrogant and despises me so much. If I don't teach the Li family a lesson, do you really think that I am the magistrate of Guobei County for nothing? Hei San, where is Hei San?
Let him come to see me quickly."
At this time, a government official from outside hurriedly ran in and said quickly: "Sir, Sir, Hei San had one of his hands cut off and one of his legs broken by a man named Han Meng. Now he is bandaging the wound at Gu Zuo's place. He is bleeding.
All over the floor, he has already passed out."
"What?" Magistrate Liu was surprised.
"Then who is Han Meng? He is so bold and dares to attack the government officials."
One of the government officials whispered: "Sir, Han Chuang is a bodyguard from the Li family's bodyguard bureau."
"Okay, if the son of the Li family dares to pay for someone to kill someone, come here and arrest Li Xiuyuan. I will torture him severely." Magistrate Liu said angrily again.
"Sir, Han Meng has surrendered outside the county gate and has taken all the blame on himself. He also threatened that the matter has nothing to do with anyone else," the Yamen servant said.
