The crowd watching the excitement burst into laughter instantly.
The old woman was so angry that the flesh on her face trembled. She stepped forward, stretched out her fat right hand like a man, and grabbed Xiao Chen's collar.
"How dare you insult me like this? Believe it or not, I will make it difficult for you to move even in Cang County?"
Duan Tianming, who was standing next to him, saw that the old woman dared to touch Xiao Chen, and subconsciously touched the knife on his waist.
His hand was already on the handle of the knife, but he put it down again.
With a wicked smile in his eyes, he actually treated himself as an audience and watched the fun.
"I don't believe it." Xiao Chen lowered his head and glanced at the collar being held by the other party, and said with a smile.
"Don't believe it? Do you dare to believe it?" The old woman seemed to be furious. She looked around and saw that she was being bullied here. The young woman next to her was still feeding the little yellow dog in her arms, and she suddenly became even more angry.
"Your mother is being bullied, and you still focus on feeding the dog? Is it your mother because of your feelings?"
The young woman seemed very impatient when the old woman interrupted her from feeding the dog.
Looking at Xiao Chen who was grabbed by the collar, he rolled his eyes.
"You are as dirty as a beggar, how dare you imitate others and fight against injustice? Don't say that the old man smashed his head, even if he smashed his head, what a big deal it would be. You bully my mother, you don't understand the dangers of society."
With that said, he took the dog leash from the old woman's hand and said fiercely: "Mom, take them to the county government office and let dad take care of them."
When I heard that I was going to the county government office, the crowd watching the excitement shrank their heads and retreated one after another.
Only the shopkeeper selling steamed buns walked over with a smile on his face.
Duan Tianming next to him felt warm in his heart.
In this world, there are still people who are not afraid of trouble and are as righteous as myself.
The shopkeeper should have also seen the reason why the old man fell. Even if he went to the county government and had the shopkeeper's testimony, the old woman could not shirk her responsibility.
The shopkeeper looked at the old man's injuries and nodded to Duan Tianming.
Duan Tianming immediately smiled and nodded to the other party.
It is hard to find a just person, and you must treat him with courtesy and not let him feel that he is alone.
The shopkeeper slowly walked up to Xiao Chen again, bowed politely to the old woman, and then turned to look at Xiao Chen.
With a little embarrassment on his face, he whispered: "Sir, you have eaten four steamed buns in total, and you haven't paid for it yet."
Duan Tianming, who was next to him, covered the wound on the old man's head and couldn't help but hold his breath.
The breath in his chest nearly choked him to death.
Seeing the shopkeeper coming over, Xiao Chen thought he was helping him out.
But what the other party said also shocked him.
Grinning awkwardly: "How much is the total?"
"Four cages of steamed buns, a total of twelve copper coins." The shopkeeper also felt a little guilty, and then added, "Your Majesty, this is a good thing, so I will charge you ten copper coins."
Duan Tianming on the side couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up, took out some broken silver from his arms, and put it into the shopkeeper's hand: "There are no copper coins. These broken silver should be enough for your buns. Take it and leave quickly."
, leave this place of right and wrong, be careful of getting into trouble."
As he said that, he stretched out his hand and pushed the shopkeeper away.
The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed and wanted to say something, but didn't say anything. He shook his head and left slowly.
The old woman grabbed Xiao Chen's collar and said, "The meal money is also given to others. Now let's go to the county government to review the case."
"Comment, what rationale?" Xiao Chen didn't move.
"Of course you insulted me in public. What, do you dare to do it but dare not admit it?"
"Insulting you? I said you look like a human being. Is that an insult? Could it be that saying you don't look like a human being is not an insult?" Xiao Chen said slowly.
He has handled countless cases and has lost count of how many people he has killed.
But I have never met such a shrew.
It doesn't matter if you take action, or if you don't take action.
Hearing Xiao Chen scolding her again and again, the old woman really wanted to beat Xiao Chen to death right now.
But the other party is a man after all, so he can't beat him.
No matter what, he must be brought to court and let the government officials beat him to death.
After making up her mind, the old woman suppressed the anger in her heart: "Whether or not there is any insult, Mr. Qingtian of Cang County will administer justice."
"Let me go, I'll go with you."
"Hold on." The old woman stared at Xiao Chen, "As soon as I let go, you will disappear. Where can I find you? I live in Cang County and have never been so angry."
Xiao Chen smiled bitterly.
Being dragged by the collar by an old woman like this, people who didn't know it would really think that they had done something shameful.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen looked at Duan Tianming on the side.
This guy, if someone usually fights with him, he would have slapped him and called him out.
What's wrong with me today? Why am I acting like a coward?
As if he had already expected that Xiao Chen would look at him, Duan Tianming lowered his head, pressed one hand on the old man's wound, and whispered in his mouth: "Don't move, the bleeding will stop soon."
Duan Tianming could no longer pretend, so he had to raise his head, looked at the old lady, and smiled awkwardly at Xiao Chen.
It seems to be saying: I have no experience in dealing with this kind of unreasonable woman.
Seeing that there was no hope for help, Xiao Chen could only accept his fate.
This kind of woman can be wiped out in ashes by just raising her hand.
But just because she indirectly frightened the old man and caused him to kill someone after being injured, what is the difference between herself and the bandits?
"If you go to the county government office, go to the county government office and take the old man with you. The injury on his head was caused by you. I would like to see if the magistrate of Cangxian County is the Mr. Qingtian you call him." Looking at the old woman, Xiao
Dust path.
"Huh, let him do whatever he wants." Seeing Xiao Chen relent, the old woman didn't even look at the old man next to her. She dragged Xiao Chen and walked straight towards the Cangxian County Government Office.
Not far away, we reached the county government office.
It was still early, and the gate of the county government office was tightly closed. Only the tall man played the drum of injustice and stood quietly by the gate, enjoying the coolness of the summer morning.
Without saying anything, the old woman dragged Xiao Chen to the injustice drum, picked up the foot-long drumstick on the side, and banged it wildly.
The dull sound of drums could be heard in the distance on the street.
Half an hour later, the county government door slowly opened.
In the lobby, government servants in soap clothes stood in two rows, holding water and fire sticks dyed red in their hands, and yawned one after another.
In the center of the hall, the magistrate, who was dressed as a seventh-grade imperial official, had his two plackets buttoned backwards, perhaps because he got up in a hurry.
But without knowing it, he sat on the chair, picked up the gavel in front of him, and slapped it hard on the table.
He shouted in an official tone: "Who is this person in the hall and what are you telling me?"
"I haven't seen you in a while. Don't you recognize me anymore?" the old woman retorted and let go of Xiao Chen's collar.
The magistrate was stunned and looked at the old woman. The seriousness on his face disappeared in an instant, and he walked down with a bowed body and a smile: "What's wrong with you, madam? Didn't you go out to walk the dog with your daughter this early in the morning?"
Who is this blind person who offended you?"
"It's this shameless stinky man." The old woman raised her hand and pointed at Xiao Chen.
"You are so bold and unruly, even if you don't care how many heads you have on your head, how dare you offend the wife of this magistrate?" The magistrate immediately scolded her, and then turned back to look at Xiao Chen.
Suddenly stunned.
No, why is this man wearing a school uniform?
Which health center are they from?
This, this, how do I judge this?
"It turns out she is the county magistrate's wife," Xiao Chen smiled faintly, "I just said she looks like a human being. May I ask, sir, is there something wrong with this sentence?"
"No, nothing is wrong." The magistrate nodded.
There's nothing wrong with that. Duan Tianming came in at the door wearing exactly the same clothes as Xiao Chen, especially with a knife hanging on his waist. There was nothing wrong with that.
It is natural for officials to judge the people.
But when officials review soldiers, isn't this just looking for trouble?
After serving as an official for many years, the county magistrate still understands this truth.
"What do you mean there is nothing wrong? You are a dead person. You can't tell that he is insulting me by saying this?" Hearing the magistrate's answer, the old woman could no longer suppress the anger in her heart.
After all, Cangxian County is your own territory, and you don’t care what others think.
Immediately, he punched and kicked the magistrate beside him.
The government officials in the lobby seemed to have become accustomed to it, and they were no longer surprised. They all still looked straight and straightened their backs, pretending to be sacred and inviolable in the lobby.
"Madam, Madam. Look, that man is wearing a school captain's uniform, but he is from the government. Stop making trouble." Turning around, the magistrate whispered.
"What kind of people from the government? Are the people from the government so dirty? They are either deserters or picked up clothes." The old woman said.
"That's right." The magistrate muttered and turned around, his face already turned cold.
