Chapter 459
County Magistrate Xu looked at the large group of people rushing towards the Yamen, and was frightened. He patted the goblin and said, "Stop them, stop them."
He pointed to the crowd rushing in and said angrily: "Bold, this is the county government. It is a serious crime for you to break into the county government government hall. Retreat quickly, don't harm yourself!"
"Bah, you dog official, you are in a hurry to let us retreat. Do you want to protect Zou?" Someone was anxious and pointed at County Magistrate Xu regardless of the matter and cursed: "You are County Magistrate, Zou Youlian sells clothes.
As a good citizen of corvee service, how can you not know as a county magistrate? Or do you also have a share to sell people for money!”
County Magistrate Xu was almost crying. He covered up the Chief Zou County Magistrate? He sold people to exchange for money. If it weren't for him, County Magistrate Zou would have been arrested in court?
I'm dead unjustly, I'm almost dead unjustly.
County Magistrate Xu glared at Master Tian fiercely, and Master Tian hurriedly said, "Dear fellow villagers, fellow villagers, the county magistrate is definitely on your side. He is from a farmer family and is still so poor after being an official for so many years.
If it weren't for the dowry of the county magistrate's wife who supported the expenses of the mansion, County magistrate Xu would not even be able to afford the pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
County Magistrate Xu's face turned green. Although Master Tian was helping him, he didn't have to say that he was so miserable.
Master Tian raised the correspondence between the Chief Zou County Magistrate, the clerk of several towns, the village chief, and the village chief, and the correspondence: "These cases were all from ten years ago. County Magistrate Xu did not come to Tianfu County to serve ten years ago. You are wrong.
If you are a man, blame the ex, the adults of the ex!"
The common people in the city are straightforward. Master Tian told them the matter very straightforwardly, and they understood that they would no longer scold the magistrate Xu.
But some angry people still wanted to rush into the court to beat Zou County Magistrate, but were stopped by Jiang County Magistrate: "Friends, don't be impulsive. The county magistrate has arrested Zou Youlian. The surname Zou cannot escape this time.
.Don’t worry, it’s not worth it to commit the crime of breaking into the court for such a beast. Everyone quit and listen at the yamen.”
Jiang County Wei has a high prestige in the county town. The people in the county are happy to listen to him. He said, "Let's listen to Lord Jiang. With him and County Magistrate Xu, I will definitely give us justice.
.”
Some people felt that it was not right to scold Xu County Magistrate, so they wanted to say good things to Xu County Magistrate, and said loudly: "That's right, didn't you hear Master Tian say it? Xu County Magistrate is from a farmer's family, so he must be a picky person.
Those who have passed manure, planted rice seedlings, and harvested food are the same as us. We must trust the magistrate of County Xu, so we cannot cause trouble for him."
County Magistrate Xu's face is not green, it is completely black... Can you stop mentioning the matter of picking manure and farming? It has been decades.
Moreover, his family is a wealthy family. When the family is busy with farming, they will hire workers and don’t need him to carry manure.
"Sir, you have to make the decision for us. When the yamen said that my man died of labor service, my man was only twenty-three years old. I was less than twenty years old... Look at my face,
This is tiring. I am only forty-four now, but whoever sees me says I am nearly sixty years old?”
"If my man is still there and there is a man supporting the door, I don't have to age like this?" The old woman sitting on the ground crying had already knelt down to County Magistrate Xu with her grandson and begged County Magistrate Xu to make the decision.
When other people who had sons, brothers, and fathers died in corvee service but had no bodies transported home, they also knelt down and cried: "Mr. County Magistrate, you must make the decision for us and find out the truth of that year.
Are people dead or alive? Where are they now? There must be a saying that even if they die, we have to be given a corpse. If we don’t see people alive or die, we don’t see corpse. What’s that?”
Seeing that they were crying miserably, Magistrate Xu was a little moved and said to them: "Don't worry, I will start a trial today to find out the truth and give the people justice. But the trial of the case cannot be done in one or two days.
The result is that Zou Youlian is an official. Even if the evidence is conclusive, the case must be sent to the Fucheng Yamen. Only after the Fucheng Yamen has been tried can Zou Youlian be punished."
Then, "Let's do this, if someone in your family goes to perform labor service and is told that they are dead but no body is transported back, you can queue up for the yamen runners to register, and the yamen will investigate you. If it is really sold by Zou Youlian, it will be decided
I'll give you an explanation."
"Hey, let's line up to register now." The people watching the fun immediately moved, some were queuing up to register, and some were rushing to leave.
"There are also people in our village who went to labor service to the end of their life and death. They thought they were sold by Zou Youlian. If not, we have to go back to find the village chief and ask the villagers to come to the yamen quickly."
"We have it in our village, so I have to go back and call for people as well."
"Haozi, stop taking the job. If something big happens, we have to go back to the village and call someone!"
For a moment, the entire county town caused a sensation, and all the farmers were running out of the city and returning to the village to find people.
County Magistrate Xu was afraid of this, so he pointed at the running farmers and glared at the Zou County Magistrate and said, "Zou Youlian, look at the good things you did. Now you have harmed the entire Tianfu County, and you are doing evil."
There are so many villages in Tianfu County, and I guess many of them are sold for labor service. The country farmers also pay attention to "If you bully one person in our village, the whole village will come and beat you up." If all the men in the village are
Ding Du came to the yamen with a hoe, so he didn't have to live this life anymore.
County Magistrate Zou was calm and composed: "Mr. County Magistrate, although you are a county magistrate, you are not qualified to sentence me to me. This case must be decided by the Fucheng Yamen."
The Zou County Magistrate glanced at the Magistrate Xu and sneered: "Besides, the evidence presented by Zou Jiang is perjury. I am not guilty and I am framed!"
County Magistrate Xu was furious when he was told by the Zou County Magistrate. He pointed at him with his hand trembling and said, "The evidence presented by Zou Jiang has been tested. Everyone believes it is true. Do you dare to say it is perjury."
The old god of the county magistrate Zou was: "Has he tested it? Did the master and Jiang Dahu test it? Not to mention that the adults want to make meritorious and promoted, just saying that Jiang Dahu has a grudge with his official, he is not qualified to test these evidences.
After verification, he couldn't count what he said."
Master Shao was so excited that he almost shouted... Perjury, why didn't he think that the evidence was perjury?
"Mr. Zou is right. We were framed by the fake evidence created by Zou Jiang. We are innocent! Zou Jiang..."
Before Master Shao could finish his words, a yamen runner blocked his mouth with a bunch of linen and could not speak.
"Mmmmm!" Master Shao was extremely angry and glared at Yang Bantou's nephew, wishing he could be kicked to death.
Zou Jiang looked at the sweaty county magistrate Xu, knowing that the county magistrate Xu could not beat Zou Youlian, he said, "Sir, as long as you check with County Magistrate Jiang, the head of the yamen runners, the master of the Zheng Ming, and the experienced clerk.
After all the evidence is confirmed to be true, the defendant can be detained. Then the case and its evidence are 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 it.
