The husband is the hunter

Chapter 355

The trial of this case will start soon, and when He Wu and County Magistrate Zhu got the news, there were already a lot of people standing outside the yamen, including the group of people who were watching on the street at first, and some followed along to watch the excitement.

You know, Qingyang City can't try a few major cases throughout the year, but in this short period of one month, the court has been opened twice, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that although the first one is to reverse the case for the father, the second one is to seek family wealth , but after all, it’s all the same thing.

Most of the onlookers were young people. When Duan Nanshan sued Meng Qingyu earlier, some people had already heard about it from the words of the elders in the family. After contacting each other, they started discussing it in private.

But in any place that is slightly larger, scholars are indispensable, and these people have studied hard for many years in order to become famous one day. As a result, when Duan Yanzhi's incident broke out, it is tantamount to telling these scholars clearly that if they don't follow the same trend as their superiors, they will die. Just wait until you lose your job.Most of these scholars were young and had learned a lot of lofty words from the teachings of Confucius and Mencius. Naturally, they were very angry. Some even made up songs to satirize the darkness of the officialdom.

Originally, this matter had gradually subsided, but Fang Lin's complaint made many people unable to sit still.

Inside the Qingyang County Government Office, a gavel sounded, and the noisy crowd outside fell silent instantly.

As a case of people suing officials, it is of course impossible for Chen Kangping to call all the people who have served as Qingyang county magistrates to prove their innocence in such a short period of time. After being sent to prison, he couldn't make up all the pieces he wanted. Only the current county magistrate, Zhu Jishi, suffered and became the only defendant in the court.

Zhu Jishi is also the head of a county, so when he was pointed out like this, in his opinion, those poor scholars almost pointed at his nose and called him a corrupt official.

But also because he has an official position, naturally he doesn't have to kneel and talk like Fang Lin. Chen Kangping has done a good job on the surface. In order not to startle the snake, he is still polite to him. argue.

When County Magistrate Zhu was invited to the court by the yamen servant, he was in a daze. He never imagined that yesterday he was still dreaming that he could get a fortune from the disaster money by getting Chen Kangping away. He was sued in court.

But when Chen Kangping asked him to defend himself, he had already come to his senses, with a look of indignation on his face, "What is the meaning of the prefect? ​​I have only been in office for more than two years, and I have never handled Duan Yanzhi's case. I have never been greedy for a penny of the treasury. Fang's suing me is inconsistent with emotion and reason. She framed me this time, probably to save her husband from prison. Such troublesome people are lawless. , Lord Eunuch, don’t listen to other people’s whispers, and you will be deceived.” After saying this, he deliberately glanced at where Shi Lei was standing, and the meaning behind his words could not be more clear, “Mr. Shi, Lord Eunuch It is your blessing to trust you, but you are also from a serious family background, so you must not ruin your future for the self-interest of others."

County magistrate Zhu was also a serious top-ranked Jinshi back then, and his verbal skill was very good. In a few words, Fang Lin turned the matter into a situation where Fang Lin asked her relatives to use the prefect's trust to frame him in order to save her husband.

As soon as he said this, the crowd of onlookers started discussing again, and some even secretly thought, how can a small juren work in the county government office, maybe the prefect is a corrupt person who has benefited from others and has to give It's just people doing business.
