Reborn Nongmen's little lucky wife

Chapter 459 Fighting

Seeing the large group of people rushing towards the Yamen, County Magistrate Xu was terrified, patted the gavel and said: "Stop them, stop them."

Pointing at the crowd rushing in, he said angrily: "Bold, this is the county government office. It is a serious crime for you to break into the county government hall without permission. Get back quickly, don't hurt yourself!"

"Bah, you dog officer, you are in a hurry to make us quit, do you want to cover up the surname Zou!" Someone was in a hurry, pointing at the county magistrate Xu and yelling: "You are the county magistrate, Zou Youlian sells clothes. As a county magistrate, don’t you know about the good people of the corvee? Or do you also have a share in selling people for money!”

The county magistrate Xu was about to cry, he shielded Zou Xiancheng?He sells people for money?If it weren't for him, would Zou Xiancheng be arrested and brought to court?

Died unjustly, really almost died unjustly.

The county magistrate Xu gave Mr. Tian a hard look, and Mr. Tian hurriedly said: "Fellow folks, fellow folks, the county magistrate is definitely on your side. He is from a peasant family, and he is still so poor after being an official for so many years. If it weren't for the county magistrate's wife's dowry to support the expenses of the mansion, magistrate Xu would not even be able to afford a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, let alone clothes for all seasons."

County Magistrate Xu's face turned green. Although Master Tian was helping him, there's no need to make him so miserable.

Mr. Tian raised the correspondence between Zou Xiancheng and the scribes, village chiefs, and village chiefs of several towns and said: "These cases were all ten years ago. Ten years ago, the county magistrate Xu did not come to Tianfu County to serve. You are wrong." People, if you want to blame, blame the predecessor, the adults of the predecessor!"

The ordinary people in the market are straightforward, Mr. Tian told them the matter very straightforwardly, so they understood it, and stopped scolding the magistrate Xu.

However, the angry people still wanted to rush into the court to beat Zou Xiancheng angrily, but was stopped by Jiang Xianwei: "Folks, don't be impulsive, the county magistrate has already arrested Zou Youlian, this time Zou can't escape Don't worry, it's not worth committing the crime of trespassing for the sake of this kind of beast, everyone just withdraw and listen at the gate of the yamen."

County Captain Jiang has a high prestige in the county, and the people in the county are willing to listen to him, so they withdrew after hearing the words, saying: "Let's listen to Master Jiang, with him and County Magistrate Xu here, we will definitely give us justice. .”

Some people felt that it was wrong to scold the county magistrate just now, so they wanted to say something nice to the magistrate Xu, and raised their voices and said, "That's right, didn't you hear what Master Tian said? People who have done manure, transplanted rice seedlings, and harvested grain are the same as us, we have to trust the county magistrate Xu, and we can't add trouble to him."

County magistrate Xu's face is not green, it's completely black... Can you stop mentioning the matter of picking dung and farming?It's been decades.

Moreover, his family is a well-off family. When the family is busy with farming, workers will be hired, so he doesn't need to pick manure.

"My lord, you have to decide for us. When the yamen said that my man died in corvée, my man was only 23 years old, and I was a widow before I was 44... Look at my face, this is I've been exhausted, I'm only [-] now, but whoever saw me wouldn't say I'm almost [-]?"

"If the man in my family is still there, and there is a man supporting the door, I don't have to age like this?" The old woman who was sitting on the ground and crying loudly had already brought her grandson to kneel down to the magistrate Xu, begging the magistrate to make decisions.

Others who had sons, brothers, and fathers who died in corvee but did not have their bodies brought home also knelt down and cried out, "Lord county magistrate, you have to be the master for us and find out the truth about that year. Is a person dead or alive? Where is he now? There must be a saying, even if he is dead, he must give us a corpse. What is the matter if we don’t see people alive or dead?”

County magistrate Xu was a little moved when he saw them crying miserably, and said to them: "Don't worry, the judge opened the trial today to find out the truth of the matter and restore justice to the people. But the trial case will not come out in a day or two." As a result, Zou Youlian is an official, even if the evidence is convincing, the case must be sent to the Fucheng Yamen, and Zou Youlian can only be punished after being tried by the Fucheng Yamen."

He added: "How about this? If someone in your family went to serve in corvee and was told that he was dead, but no body was brought back, you can line up for the yamen servant to register, and the yamen will investigate for you. If it is really sold by Zou Youlian, it will be determined." I'll give you an explanation."

"Hey, let's line up to register now." The people who watched the excitement immediately moved, some queued up to register, and some left in a hurry.

"There are also people in our village who went to serve corvée and ended up not being seen alive or dead. It is estimated that they were sold by Zou Youlian. If it doesn't work, we have to go back to the village head and let the villagers come to the Yamen as soon as possible."

"Our village also has them, and I have to go back and call for help."

"Haozi, don't carry on the work, something serious happened, we have to go back to the village to call someone!"

All of a sudden, the entire county was in a commotion, full of farmers who rushed out of the city and returned to the village to find someone.

County magistrate Xu was afraid of this, and pointed at the running farmers and glared at Cheng Zou, saying, "Zou Youlian, look at the good deeds you have done, and now you have harmed the entire Tianfu County, what a crime."

There are so many villages in Tianfu County, it is estimated that many villages have people who have been sold as corvees, and the peasants in the countryside pay attention to the saying "If you bully one person in our village, the whole village will beat you", if all the men in the village Ding Du came to the yamen with a hoe on his shoulders, so he will not have to live this day.

Zou Xiancheng was calm and composed: "Lord County Magistrate, although you are the magistrate of a county, you are not qualified to sentence this magistrate. This case has to be decided by the Fucheng Yamen."

Zou County Cheng looked at Xu County Magistrate, and sneered: "Besides, the evidence presented by Zou Jiang is perjury, I am not guilty, I was framed!"

County magistrate Xu was furious at what Zou Xiancheng said, shaking his hands, pointing at him and saying: "The evidence submitted by Zou Jiang has been verified by the government, and everyone believes it to be true. How dare you say it is perjury."

The old God of Zouxian County is here: "Have you checked it? Did your lord's master test it with Jiang Dahu? Don't talk about your lord's desire to make meritorious service and promotion, but just say that Jiang Dahu has a grudge with this official, he is not qualified to test these evidences. Even if After testing, what he said can’t be counted.”

Master Shao was so excited when he heard that, he almost shouted... Perjury evidence, why didn't he think that these evidences were perjury evidence.

"My lord, Mr. Zou is right. We were framed by the false evidence made by Zou Jiang. We are innocent! Zou Jiang..."

Master Shao hadn't finished speaking when a yamen servant covered his mouth with a ball of sackcloth, making him unable to speak.

"Hmmmm!" Master Shao was extremely angry, staring at Team Leader Yang's nephew, wanting to kick him to death.

Zou Jiang looked at the magistrate Xu who was sweating on his forehead, and knew that magistrate Xu could not defeat Zou Youlian, so he said, "My lord, as long as you check with County Captain Jiang, the head of the yamen servants, the master of punishment, and experienced clerks, After passing through the evidence and confirming that all the evidence is true, the defendant can be taken into custody. Then the case and its evidence should be handed over to the Fucheng Yamen, and the Fucheng Yamen will take over the investigation. As a suspect, Zou Youlian has the right to question But he has no right to interfere with adults' handling of the case."
