Hu Xiaotian said: "You are causing trouble and provoking disputes in the street. If I don't punish you today, it will be difficult to convince the public."
Jia Liu quickly said: "Sir, I don't want the sheep anymore. Please don't hit me."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Catch them, give each of them ten blows, and escort them out." After a while, the sentence was changed again.
Amidst a series of unjust accusations, the two were dragged out one after another. Hu Xiaotian glanced at Murong Feiyan and caught the faint smile on Murong Feiyan's lips. He seemed to be very satisfied with his current performance. Hu Xiaotian was very happy. This
Fat and thin must have something up their sleeves. They think that anyone can enter the yamen gate! You can't just sit in this prison if you want to.
Guo Shouguang wiped the sweat from his forehead and was about to persuade Hu Xiaotian to retreat for dinner when suddenly there was another rapid drumming sound outside the door. Not only him, but also all the subordinates were surprised. What happened today?
For half a year, no one beat the drum to complain. The county magistrate came one after another.
Hu Xiaotian said loudly: "Who beats the drum to complain about injustice?"
The yamen servant below has come over to announce: "I would like to report to Mr. Hu that the one who beats the drum to complain about injustice is Wan Tingchang, the eldest son of the Wan family!"
When Hu Xiaotian heard this, he felt secretly happy. It was just because he had worn iron shoes and couldn't find anywhere. It took no effort to get here. Before I even went to find you, you actually came to the door yourself. I want to see where you Wan Tingchang is.
What do I want to do with this three-thirds of an acre? Thinking of this, he slapped the gavel in his hand and said loudly: "Pass it up!" He suddenly discovered something, shooting the gavel can indeed succeed.
He is addicted to it. He soon figured out the reason. Addicted to power, the gavel is just a symbol.
Wan Tingchang, the eldest son of the Wan family, walked into the court in a swaggering manner. Behind him were two servants of the Wan family. The guy held a folding fan in his hand and walked into the hall with three swaying steps. He changed to an ordinary person.
Ordinary people, no one dares to be so arrogant in court, but the Wan family is different. They don't even pay attention to the county magistrate Xu Qinglian, let alone a new county magistrate.
When Wan Tingchang came to the lobby, his eyesight was not very good. He raised his head and looked at the people in the hall. He could tell vaguely that it was not Xu Qinglian, but he couldn't see his face clearly. He just raised his hands and said, "See you, student Wan Tingchang."
Mr. County Magistrate."
Hu Xiaotian raised the gavel tree in his hand and knocked it down. He said coldly: "Who are you? Why don't you kneel down when you see me?"
Wan Tingchang sounded familiar to this voice, but he would not associate the county magistrate with the spiritualist who played tricks on his family. He said proudly: "The student is a scholar, has a good reputation, and is well-off."
The laws are clearly written, and scholars are not required to kneel in court as a rule!"
Hu Xiaotian glanced at Guo Shouguang. Guo Shouguang nodded, proving that there was indeed this rule. Hu Xiaotian cursed in his heart, even a person like Wan Tingchang could become a scholar. It seems that this Dakang's academic qualifications are also very good.
Wan Tingchang was so proud that he thought he had won the battle. Even the two servants behind him were full of pride and had no intention of kneeling when they stood there.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Are you here to complain?"
Wan Tingchang nodded. His expression was as arrogant as ever. In Qingyun County, he really didn't take any official seriously.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Stand on the Plaintiff's Stone!"
Wan Tingchang was startled and thought to himself: Doesn't the new county magistrate know who he is? Why is he so rude? He snorted coldly, walked up to the Plaintiff's Stone, and raised his eyes to look at Hu Xiaotian. This poor eyesight is troublesome.
I couldn't see Hu Xiaotian's face clearly. The court had court rules, and I couldn't approach him casually, so I could only continue to maintain a sense of mystery about the county magistrate.
Hu Xiaotian said coldly: "Wan Tingchang! What grievances do you have? Who do you want to sue?"
Wan Tingchang said: "I want to sue Liu Kuohai, the young shopkeeper of Hui Chun Tang. He is unreasonable, cruel and domineering! He used his physical strength to come to make trouble in front of my house, hurt my servants, disturbed the peace of my family, and ruined my family's reputation."
Hu Xiaotian asked: "Where is Liu Kuohai now?"
The chief clerk, Guo Shouguang, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Liu Kuohai has been captured for causing trouble and is currently being held in a prison cell awaiting trial."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Bring Liu Kuohai up to me! I will personally try this matter."
Guo Shouguang had no choice but to shamelessly come to Hu Xiaotian and whispered in his ear: "Sir Hu, Mr. Xu said that this case will be tried in person when he comes back."
Hu Xiaotian stepped back, slapped his nose with his palm and said, "You didn't brush your teeth this morning? You have bad breath!"
Guo Shouguang's old face turned red again in embarrassment, and he silently greeted Hu Xiaotian's eighteenth generation of ancestors in his heart, "I rinse my mouth every day, but you don't give me any face."
The servants in the hall wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. They just felt that the county magistrate was not easy to get along with. On the first day he took office, he had humiliated the chief clerk completely. He was obviously targeting him everywhere. Could it be that the two of them had a grudge before?
Hu Xiaotian said: "Master Xu works so hard every day, how can I bear to let him suffer so much? The imperial court sent me to Qingyun just to help Master Xu solve his problems."
Guo Shouguang said in his heart, who are you talking about? Don’t you just want to seize power? After all, you are a young man, and you have shown your sharpness when you first arrived. You can tell at a glance that you don’t understand the ways of the world, so you are going to fall into trouble.
After Hu Xiaotian finished talking about the interrogation, the government officials on both sides remained silent for a long time. They all secretly looked at Guo Shouguang, obviously waiting for Guo Shouguang to make up his mind. Hu Xiaotian had just arrived, and although he had the authority of the county magistrate, he still had no prestige at all in the hearts of the subordinate officials.
.What's more, the person in charge in Qingyun County is still the county magistrate Xu Qinglian, and it is not Hu Xiaotian's turn to be the one at the moment.
Hu Xiaotian raised the gavel and patted it again: "Bring Liu Kuohai up to me!"
Guo Shouguang secretly winked at the yamen servants. He finally figured it out. Hu Xiaotian was coming fiercely today. He wouldn't stop easily unless he made some noise. Youdao was the first thing that made a new official take office. Hu Xiaotian's fire
It's too hasty, boy, and you'll soon find out that you've brought disgrace upon yourself.
After Guo Shouguang spoke, the gang of government officials started to take action. Not long after, Liu Kuohai was brought up. The boy's hair was disheveled and his clothes were torn, but there were no wounds on his body. When he came to the lobby, he glared at Wan Tingchang. He was really an enemy.
He was extremely jealous when they saw each other. He opened his mouth wide and roared at Wan Tingchang like a wild beast.
Wan Tingchang was so frightened that he took a step back and immediately stepped back from the plaintiff's stone. He staggered and almost fell to the ground.
The government officials on both sides stepped forward and took Liu Kuohai's arms, forcing him to kneel down. Liu Kuohai was quite tough and stood motionless. Guo Shouguang winked, and a government official rushed up and raised the water and fire stick in his hand to shine.
Liu Kuohai's knees just bent. Liu Kuohai groaned in pain, but still stood there stubbornly. Two government officials stepped forward and hit him with several sticks. Liu Kuohai couldn't bear the pain, and then his knees softened and he knelt down.
He stood on the defendant's stone. He raised his head and glared at the officials in charge of interrogating the case in the lobby. When his eyes fell on Hu Xiaotian's face, he couldn't help but widen his eyes with an incredible expression on his face. Liu Kuohai's eyes were stronger than Wan Tingchang's.
Much better, he recognized Hu Xiaotian almost at the first sight as the resident of Fulai Inn who had helped his father. He pointed at Hu Xiaotian and said in shock: "You are not..."
Murong Feiyan was worried that this guy would reveal Hu Xiaotian's identity, so he sternly scolded: "You are so bold and unruly, how dare you disrespect the new county magistrate Mr. Hu!"
No matter how stupid Liu Kuohai was, he already understood what Murong Feiyan said. He was now able to confirm that the two people next to Hu Xiaotian also lived in Fulai Inn, and after working for a long time, they were actually the new county magistrates.
Sir, Liu Kuohai couldn't help but feel happy. In the past, he had no one in the county government. This Mr. Hu must not be a bad person if he could lend a helping hand to his father, and he might also help him. Thinking of this, Liu Kuohai
Kuo Hai knelt down on the defendant's stone and said in a low voice: "Young Liu Kuohai, please see Mr. Qingtian!" It seemed that this boy was not stupid.
Hu Xiaotian smiled proudly at Guo Shouguang. As long as he sat in this seat, he wouldn't have to worry about anyone calling him Master Qingtian.
Wan Tingchang said: "Master Hu, this is the murderer that the students are complaining about! He is unreasonable and unreasonable. He used his physical strength to come to my house to cause trouble and injured my servant..."
Hu Xiaotian became impatient after hearing half of it, waved his hand and said: "Didn't you just say it again, how about something new? How about a little creativity?"
Wan Tingchang said: "What I'm saying is true."
"Is there any witness?"
The two servants behind Wan Tingchang all stepped out, and Wan Tingchang waved his hands forward: "Take it off!"
The two servants took off their shirts in public. Their naked upper bodies were covered with scars. In fact, they did not need to take them off. Their faces were also bruised. Wan Tingchang pointed to the scars on the two servants and said: "People
Here is the evidence, can you see it clearly?"
"Physical evidence..."
Wan Tingchang pulled out a wrist-thick wooden stick from under his robe, held it up with both hands and said, "This is the murder weapon he brought when he came to my house to commit murder!"
Hu Xiaotian put his hands on his chin, holy shit! He was indeed well prepared, and he laughed. Although Wan Tingchang could not see clearly, he could hear clearly, and he also laughed. Suddenly, Hu Xiaotian stopped laughing: "You laugh
What?"
Wan Tingchang said: "If adults can laugh, why can't students laugh?"
"I'm an official! This is the court. Aren't you afraid that I will sentence you to contempt of court?"
Wan Tingchang said: "Emotions, anger, sorrow and joy are human nature. The students' feelings are not meant to despise the court. Is it possible that your laughter just now is also contempt for the court?" He argued hard and did not lose at all on the scene.
Hu Xiaotian sneered and said: "What a sharp mouth! Come here!"
Wan Tingchang's heart trembled. Could it be that the new county magistrate really dared not to give him face? Hu Xiaotian turned to Guo Shouguang and said: "How should the contempt of court be dealt with according to Dakang regulations?"
Guo Shouguang took a breath of air: "Uh... this..."
He really couldn't answer, so Murong Feiyan said: "I'm telling you, sir, I will be punished on the spot for defying the law in accordance with the laws of Dakang, as a warning to others."
