But in the lobby of the prefect's Yamen, both sides were holding on to each other's confused accounts.
Kang Yanhui was almost blown away by the quarrels between the two sides, but both sides sounded reasonable, and it was difficult to judge who was right for a while.
Ji Qingchuan came in from outside the hall and whispered a few words to him. After hearing this, Kang Yanhui's eyes lit up and he nodded immediately: "Then go back quickly, but you must ensure the safety of the people accompanying you."
"Don't worry, sir. I will handle my errands with caution." Ji Qingchuan bowed and retreated.
The two parties in the hall didn't know what was going on, so they only paused for a while, and then started a fierce verbal battle again.
Kang Yanhui really had a severe headache and tapped the gavel.
"How can you be so noisy in the lobby? This is not a market place. Both of you said that you personally cultivated those flowers. Do you have evidence?"
The florist was the first to answer: "My lord, my name is Liu Kuisheng. My ancestor also started his business with flowers. He has accumulated some property and is well recognized by the people in the town. The Liu family is also a well-known person in Xiaowu Town.
It is said that we are cultivating famous and high-quality flowers, and there are several flower shops. We will never compete with a poor man for some flower fields. Our own flower fields are hundreds of acres, and what use is his fields in the valleys?"
"So, the so-called flower field in the ravine does not belong to you, Liu Kuisheng, and this... what is your name..." Kang Yanhui pointed to the man in the shabby couple kneeling in the hall.
"Returning to the officer, my surname is Yu and my given name is Bai Zheng. I am from Xiaowu Town. My ancestors moved to the town ten years ago. Their original location was Fushan Town in Baoqidao City." The man said politely.
Talk back.
Just by listening to his words, one can tell that this person is not an ordinary rough and rash man, but has a certain cultural background. This should be due to the influence of his family.
Comparing these two aspects, Liu Kuisheng, who is well-dressed and well-dressed, looks inferior, like a nouveau riche.
Kang Yanhui nodded and said: "This flower field that Yu Baizheng mentioned is not owned by Liu Kuisheng, so where is the place where these flowers are cultivated?"
"In the flower fields outside my home!" Liu Kuisheng answered quickly.
Yu Baozheng glared at him and said: "Nonsense, the soil quality required for the orchid is very particular. The flower fields in your suburbs are all ordinary soil and cannot support this kind of orchid at all. And the reason why this orchid can be grown in the valley
It took a long time to cultivate the soil in that place. Our family moved to Xiaowu Town for ten years, and we only cultivated this variety three years ago. Are you telling lies with your eyes wide open?"
Liu Kuisheng pointed at him and said angrily: "Who are you talking about? You surnamed Yu, don't be ungrateful. I think you won't be able to eat and drink in time. But I, Liu Kuisheng, helped you and your whole family didn't starve to death. Now you are here again."
Let’s take a look at it. You Yu family members are all white-eyed wolves. If you have the ability, you can cultivate high-quality products yourself. You also come to compete, and you dare to come here to cause trouble. I can win you."
The woman next to Yu Baizheng pointed back at him angrily: "Liu, don't think that just because you have money, you can dominate the world with one hand. If you didn't have a brother-in-law who is the county magistrate to support you, you wouldn't dare to be king and dominate so unscrupulously. Really?
He has no ability at all, and only relies on deceit and deception to obtain plunder by force..."
"What do you know, you ignorant woman? There is no place for you to speak carelessly in this lobby!" Liu Kuisheng glared at her fiercely, as if he wanted to eat her.
The woman was not afraid, and kowtowed to Kang Yanhui again: "The civilian woman is not talking nonsense. Your Excellency, you know that Xiaowu Town is famous for its flowers inside and outside the county, but there are very few orchids growing in this town.
Because of this, it is difficult to grow flowers and it is extremely difficult to cultivate them, let alone high-quality orchids. Moreover, there are many flower farmers in this town, as many as eight thousand if not ten thousand. Every household has a flower field and will grow flowers. But since this
After Liu Kuisheng became the head of the Liu family, his brother-in-law became the county magistrate of Xiaowu Town. The entire Xiaowu Town changed. Now there are less than ten households of flower farmers, and they still look down upon them.
Those who stayed were used to make his brother-in-law, who was the county magistrate, have political achievements. The flower farmers who had occupied the flower fields were dying and going crazy. Those crazy people were even found a place to be imprisoned.
I got up because I was afraid that they would escape and complain."
"Then how did your family escape?" Kang Yanhui asked.
Yu Baizheng held the woman down and then spoke: "My family was originally three generations living under one roof. They lived in Wuyun Mountain in Xiaowu Town and started planting and cultivating orchids in the mountains. But now there are only our husband and wife and two children in the house.
As a child, we walked out of the mountainous area from the Wuyun River in the back mountain all the way along the river. After almost half a year, we arrived at Baifeng City, and just in time for the Hundred Flowers Festival. Sure enough, here we found
Liu Kuisheng even saw the exquisite Phalaenopsis cultivated by our Yu family."
Liu Kuisheng shouted loudly: "It's nonsense. It's just nonsense. Sir, don't listen to these two unscrupulous people talking nonsense here. Your Yu family is famous. Even if you didn't come to Xiaowu Town, there was no place there."
Cultivating orchids, but later on raising and planting them, it won’t work. Your Yu family is too domineering. Yes, the magistrate of Xiaowu Town is indeed my brother-in-law, but it is not as good as the couple said.
What happened is that those flower farmers were not doing well in management, but they had good intentions and invested money to acquire their flower fields so that they could have the financial means to move to his life. How could this be what this ignorant woman said..."
"Did you take the initiative to invest in the deal? Bah! Liu Kuisheng, how dare you say that? Do you dare to swear to God that if there is any truth in what you said, your whole family, young and old, will not be able to die a good death, and they will never be reincarnated forever!
"The woman pointed at him and cursed loudly.
"How presumptuous! You think this is your farm. If you dare to behave like this in front of the official, you should be beaten twenty times!" Liu Kuisheng pointed at her and loudly said, then looked at Kang Yanhui: "My lord, you are so cunning.
The woman should be sent to prison and given all the instruments of torture to see if she still talks nonsense..."
Kang Yanhui was stunned and said sternly: "You are the one who is so impudent. How should I handle the case, and you, a commoner, are here to point the finger? Just from your appearance, I can see that you have no idea how to handle the case in this yamen."
I am really familiar with the process. Why, when your brother-in-law is handling the case, you are also giving instructions. Is he the county magistrate or you?"
Liu Kuisheng immediately realized something was wrong, and immediately lay on the ground, exclaiming: "The common people don't dare, please forgive me!"
"Why don't you dare? This is how he usually behaves. The county government office in Xiaowu Town is named Liu. If he doesn't comply with their wishes, if he is taken to the government office, he will first beat him twenty times, and then use all the torture instruments in the government office.
Once again, the weak ones died directly in the county government office, and the lucky ones went crazy even if they didn't die. They drew whatever they were told to draw, even if the dead people couldn't draw, they also put the fingerprints on the hands of the deceased. Sir,
You are the governor of a big city, and you must make decisions for us people who are being persecuted. If this continues, Xiaowu Town will become a town with only Liu Kuisheng's family, and all the villagers will die..." That woman
The man angrily reprimanded Liu Kuisheng for his evil deeds, and then begged Kang Yanhui.
Just as Liu Kuisheng was about to retort, he looked up and saw Kang Yanhui glaring at him with sharp eyes. He was so frightened that he immediately lowered his head again, but he was not idle in cursing the woman. The dirty words were particularly unpleasant.
At this time, Jiang Bin ran in from outside the lobby, whispered a few words in his ear, and then left.
Kang Yanhui slapped the scarecrow and said loudly: "You all said that this exquisite orchid, known as the strange butterfly, was cultivated by yourself. Now I will give you a chance to show it and identify the owner of the flower!"
