I want to be a grandson

Chapter 398 The lesser of two evils

"Who are you, do you want to meddle in the young master's business?"

Seeing that Xia Yuanji couldn't stop staring at him, this Mr. He felt his heart trembling because of him, he couldn't help saying angrily,

"I'm He Xin, the son of Yong Cheng Bo, get out of here if you know how to do it, don't disturb the young master's elegant mood!"

Xia Yuanji looked at him and said: "I am the commander of the Nancheng military and horse department, the official of the imperial court. All affairs in the Nancheng market are under the jurisdiction of this official. Let me ask you, why do you beat others in the street!"

"Humph!"

Mr. He said disdainfully: "Who am I? It turns out that I am a junior official of the sixth rank, the commander of the army and horses, hehehe...

It's just a petty official who cares about trivial matters, and dares to yell in front of me, get out!Don't mess with me! "

Zhao Yang, Gao Xing and the others also turned dark immediately.

This is even scolded by them!

And it's still in front of the common people, how can this make them faceless?
"Hurry up and get the hell out of me! If you offend me, let alone this poor scholar, it's you guys. If you want to hit me, I will hit you!"

Xia Yuanji said: "No matter who you are, you can't beat others in the street. Come and beat him, arrest him, and bring him back to the yamen for disposal!"

Mr. He jumped up as if his tail had been stepped on, pointed at Xia Yuanji and cursed: "You son of a bitch! Open your dog eyes wide to see who the young master is! If you dare to act presumptuously, my father will not spare you! Who dares to do it!"

The soldiers patrolling around belonged to Chen Hai's lineage, and at this time they would not stand by Xia Yuanji's side to offend anyone, so they just stood aside and watched silently, not planning to touch him.

The scholar who was beaten couldn't be more angry, knowing that he could only rely on the person in front of him to uphold justice for him, so he endured the pain in his body, stood up and saluted,

Said: "My lord, I also ask you to uphold justice for the villain!"

"This person rode horses on the street, disregarding the life and death of others, and treated human life like nothing. He even indulged his servants to beat me. Now the people present have witnessed it with their own eyes. Please deal with it impartially, and give justice to the villain. !"

Although the people around knew that Xia Yuanji was the commander, they didn't think much of it.

Bing Ma Si is full of a group of things, and the people in the capital know very well that it is a typical bullying and fearing the hard, and it is of course very "fair" for them to control the poor!
But once he meets the rich and powerful, he becomes a mouse who sees the cat, without a trace of courage in his body!

It is absolutely impossible for them to detain or punish the son of an earl for the sake of a poor scholar!
It is precisely because of this that the common people booed and said, "Yes, sir, you are soldiers and horses, can't you uphold justice..."

"It is said that Bingmasi is the master of Qingtian, let us open our eyes today..."

"That's right, let's open our eyes today. In the future, whoever dares to say that Bing Masi is a mob, a soft bone who bullies the weak and fears the hard, I will fight him..."

"Yes, please dispose of it impartially..."

Although I know it may be useless to say so, it is also a happy thing to boo and shout!
Xia Yuanji took a step forward and said, "Even if your father has a great official position and made great contributions, he is still a subject of Ming Dynasty and must abide by the laws of Ming Dynasty! There is no exception!"

"Your father is Yong Cheng Bo, and his rank is higher than this official. Naturally, I have no right to interfere with how he behaves, but Nancheng is under the jurisdiction of this official. If you cause trouble in Nancheng, this official has the right to intervene!

Let me ask you, do you have an official position? "

After asking such a question, Mr. He suddenly felt a little guilty, but he still showed a tough look and said: "So what if you don't have an official position, my father..."

"presumptuous!"

Xia Yuanji shouted: "Unfilial sons and grandsons, do you want to humiliate your family?! You keep talking about your father, but I want to ask, did Yong Chengbo let you beat people in the street?
Is he so arrogant to you?If you dare to admit it, I will immediately write a letter of impeachment! "

Mr. He was speechless immediately!
How dare he admit it!
Impeachment, how can you use the civil servant's tricks!
Aren't you afraid of being embarrassing?
If I really let my father be impeached and let him know that I have caused trouble, maybe how to deal with myself!
Seeing that he was guilty, Xia Yuanji said again: "If you really have rank, I can only hand over the case to Ying Tianfu and the Ministry of Punishment, but since you have no rank... hmph, what face do you have to be rampant in front of this officer? !!

In front of this official, you are no different from ordinary people, and there is nothing special about you!Someone, take him immediately! "

"I see who dares!"

This Mr. He became ruthless, immediately drew the sword on the horse, and said across his chest: "I don't want to cause trouble today, and you guys don't mind your own business, don't make trouble! Let's go!"

In his heart, he has scolded Chen Hai thousands of times!

Chen Hai told him that a scholar had come to serve as the commander of the army and horses, so he asked himself to show off to the new official.

Mr. He was righteous for a while, thinking of a scholar, it's okay to bully him, so he agreed.

It's just that I didn't expect that the person in front of me was so difficult to speak!
Judging by his appearance, he would definitely not be subdued, so he retreated.

Obviously, he also knew that the other party was a tough guy, so he didn't plan to keep pestering him any longer.

But Xia Yuanji couldn't let him leave, beat someone in front of him, if he let him go like that, he would lose all face!
At the same time, it will also expose the fact that he has no hole cards!
So Xia Yuanji stretched out his hand to stop him, and ordered: "I am the commander of the military and horse division, and all the soldiers and horse division's subordinates must obey orders!

This person beat others in the street and brought him back to the Yamen for disposal. If he dared to hurt others, he would be killed immediately on the spot! "

Seeing that the patrolling soldiers were in a dilemma and did not dare to do anything, Xia Yuanji said: "Anyone who disobeys orders will be dismissed and investigated. I will personally ask you for the crime of disrespecting the superior order and favoring the thief!"

This team of patrolling soldiers knew that once they were convicted of such a crime, they would be sent to the army!
Although I am under the command of Deputy Chen, but now my future is at stake, so I don't care so much!
He had no choice but to pick up the weapons in his hands and surround them, but after a while, they knocked the other party to the ground, and they rushed up and tied up this Mr. He tightly.

In fact, this Mr. He is just a bluff.

Although he drew his sword, how dare he fight the officers and soldiers!Don't even dare to kill the official ordered by the court!
Because even if they are arrested, when they return to the Bingmasi Yamen, these officials may put on a smile, because in front of the people, they are also forced to be helpless, so the final result should be to win up, down gently.

And even if it is handled impartially, it will be nothing more than a punishment!
The key point is that they don't dare to make heavy moves!If you don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face, no one will be so stubborn!
But if he killed someone, the nature would be bad!

Besides, he was only the "Second Young Master", and he did not inherit his father's title. His position in the mansion was not high, so if he really wanted to commit any serious incident, he could only bear it by himself.

Xia Yuanji glanced at the servants who were pinned down on the ground, and ordered: "Stop them thirty times with the staff, and then bring them all back to the Military Division to wait for interrogation."

"grown ups……"

Gao Xing wanted to persuade him not to offend the other party, but seeing Xia Yuanji's firm gaze, he swallowed his words again.

Alas, forget it, presumably with his identity, he is not afraid of the He family's revenge.

It's still good to have someone above, who can despise the powerful without any scruples and enforce the law impartially.

The soldiers tied up the servants, and then took out a few benches from the nearby market, pressed them one by one on the benches, waved the water and fire sticks in their hands, and beat them with a crackling!

Beating people is very particular, and the strength is all in the hands of the executioner.

But under Xia Yuanji's gaze, they didn't dare to go too far, so these servants really got a solid beating!

After the servant was beaten, Xia Yuanji gave another order: "He Xin, as the chief envoy of this case, will be punished fifty times with a stick, as a warning to others!"

And Mr. He who was tied up was also dumbfounded!

It never occurred to him that the other party was executing executions in the street!

Although it is customary for soldiers and horses to deal with them on the street, it is also divided into people!
When you accept the punishment, you will lose your face!
Hitting the servant was not enough, but he had to beat himself!
If I really want to suffer this beating, I will be ashamed to hang out with those honorable children in the market and in the capital!
That's not to be laughed at by them!
So he hurriedly said: "My lord, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, please be merciful, Your lord... I have a disease and I can't bear heavy blows. I am willing to use a prisoner instead of a beating. Please help me!"

Using prisoners instead of beatings is a method of imprisonment for those who are physically weak and cannot be punished with a stick. This is equivalent to the detention of later generations.

But for most people, they don't like to use prisoners instead of beatings, because ordinary people need to live, and if they really want to be locked in prison for a period of time,
Not only can they not earn money, but they also have to buy their own food while in prison, which many people cannot afford.

So usually they would rather be beaten than imprisoned.

But for Mr. He, it's just spending more money!Although it's embarrassing, it's better than losing face in the street!

The lesser of two evils.

Maybe work it out at home and come out in two days, so those who are rich and well-connected naturally know how to choose!

Xia Yuanji asked: "According to this crime, you should be imprisoned in Bingmasi Prison for a month, do you know?"

He Xin hurriedly said: "I know, please help me."

"Forget it, since that's the case..." Xia Yuanji ordered: "Come here, take him back to the Yamen and put him in the cell!"

"Yes! I am obedient!"

Seeing Bingmasi act like this, the common people also praised him. They never thought of being able to deal with it so impartially!
So some praises poured out like they don't want money. After all, the soldiers and horses enforce the law impartially, which is only good for the common people!
