Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui was fierce and attacked Shangyuan County. Huang Xiaoru, the county magistrate, hurriedly came out to greet him... There is a saying, the magistrate of the third generation has not cultivated and attached himself to Guo. Magistrates like him who have been hanging around in the capital are not cultivating or not.
It is no longer a matter of virtue, but to do evil and be struck by lightning!
In such a huge capital, any dog sent out would probably be more noble than him.
Not to mention the dignified King Zhao.
He hurriedly knelt down to greet Zhu Gaosui.
Unexpectedly, two people jumped out of the carriage. Behind Zhu Gaosui, there was also Xu Jingchang, the Duke of Dingguo.
This time Huang Xiaoru was scared to death.
Some time ago, the General Administration Department and the Ministry of Household Affairs collected taxes together, with the help of Yingtian's prefectures and counties. He had met Xu Jingchang and knew how powerful he was. Even though he was no longer a general official, he could still fool the courtiers.
In terms of the degree of danger, he is much higher than Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui...Now that two great gods have descended on his small temple at the same time, it is really difficult for him to withstand them.
"The lower official pays homage to His Royal Highness King Zhao and pays homage to Duke Dingguo."
Zhu Gaosui snorted, "Are you the county magistrate?"
"Exactly, the lower official is Huang Xiaoru, the magistrate of Shangyuan County."
"Don't sue?" Zhu Gaosui sneered: "You mean they didn't steal?"
Huang Xiaoru said unceremoniously: "Since you know you are guilty, let me ask you, what crime did you commit?"
"Absurd!" Huang Xiaoru snorted angrily: "How much money can a mere goose have? Folks and neighbors should believe in love and harmony... How dare you arrest or beat someone for such a trivial matter?
You are so abominable! Someone, take him down and beat him twenty, forty...eighty! Beat him eighty!"
His heart almost jumped out of his chest. It was over. He hit the iron plate. They were obviously just two refugees. How could they be implicated in such a god?
Huang Zhixian scolded, Han Zhongyi was startled, and subconsciously looked at Lin Sanliang. Huang Xiaoru was even more angry, "Han Zhongyi, kneel down before me!"
County Magistrate Huang was stunned for a moment, wishing he could give himself a slap in the face. Really, Huang Zicheng, Fang Xiaoru... My name is Huang Xiaoru. No wonder he is a high-ranking official and well-paid, but he is trapped in the post of County Magistrate, unable to move.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. Your Highness is merciful. I despise my duty. I will not accuse you of despising my duty!"
It must be changed, what should be changed?
Why not call him Huang Jingchang?
Han Zhongyi was so frightened that his legs softened and he knelt directly on the ground.
Han Zhongyi snorted: "You will know for yourself whether I stole it or not, unless you cut open the belly and prove your innocence!"
This time Han Zhongyi knew it, and he hurriedly knelt down.
It turns out that the Ming Law still has this provision?
Then another official was brought up. He was the deputy prison chief of Shangyuan County and the son of the landlord.
At this time, Xu Jingchang passed by him and said with a smile: "With a yellow head and a square tail, it is not really a good thing. But it doesn't matter. It was given by your parents and you can't change it casually."
"They stole it. My father and mother both know that their hands and feet are not clean!"
Everyone was stunned, and Zhu Gaosui said again: "But if you accuse them, you have to provide evidence... So, it won't work to open their stomachs... I can dig out your two eyeballs and give them to them."
I'll let you take a look. If there is indeed goose meat, you win. If not, it's a false accusation, and I will punish you as a false accusation!"
Huang Xiaoru's face turned pale, "I understand, I will give the order now."
"No, no, I made a mistake. I am willing to compensate, and I hope His Highness will forgive me." Han Zhongyi kowtowed as if he was pounding garlic.
You boy deserve to die!
"Kneel down!"
Han Zhongyi swallowed, nodded and said, "Yes."
But obviously, this is not what these two people want to see.
Han Zhongyi was flustered, but he was still unwilling to admit guilt and said hurriedly: "Master, they stole it. As for where it went, it was naturally eaten into their stomachs."
"You!" Tang Saier was so angry that his lips were blue and his whole body was trembling.
It’s actually King Zhao!
Only now did Han Zhongyi know who was coming.
How pitiful it is, they are all honest and honest people, when did they receive such unjust injustice?
"You are above the throne, but you are guilty of humble duty."
"King Zhao, spare your life, spare your life!"
"Wait a minute." Zhu Gaosui stopped him, "Zhi Huang, let me tell you, my second brother's house was confiscated because he didn't pay taxes. It was so miserable. Even the bed he slept on was taken away. Our brothers didn't have any
In addition, I always abide by the national law. I came here to inquire about this case, not to take people away. I just want to see how you are going to interrogate."
When someone framed you and asked you to cut your belly open, did you really do it stupidly?
If you really do this, people will not think you are innocent, they will only laugh at you as a fool. Even the onlookers will not think you are wronged and feel sympathy, they will just walk away, for fear of being splashed with blood.
Zhu Gaosui frowned, "Your name is not very good."
Zhu Gaosui couldn't help but extend two thumbs up.
But they never expected that someone would come to rescue them, and it would be His Royal Highness King Zhao and Duke Dingguo who came in person.
It's just the name that ruined it.
The young couple were desperate for a time. They felt that they had fallen into the hands of someone else. They were unfamiliar with the place and had no one to help them complain. What else could they do except wait for death.
After saying that, Xu Jingchang also followed in.
This guy still doesn't understand what's going on. They are just two helpless refugees. Is there anyone who can speak for them?
Han Zhongyi was stunned for a moment. Has he committed a crime?
This guy also noticed Zhu Gaosui and Xu Jingchang. Although he didn't know them, he also felt that something was wrong. At this time, he had to bite them to death, otherwise he would be finished.
Huang Xiaoru was stunned, is this still a thing?
He, the county magistrate, didn't care about ordinary petty theft, so how could he alert His Highness King Zhao?
"I will send someone to bring the criminal here and hand him over to His Highness."
Tang Saier and Lin San both stared angrily and gnashed their teeth in anger.
Huang Xiaoru was stunned and said hurriedly: "I know I am wrong because of my humble position. I will listen to His Highness King Zhao in everything."
Han Zhongyi cried. Can you still see it after digging it out?
He secretly glanced at Xu Jingchang and begged: "Ding Guo Gong, His Highness King Zhao's words are hard to understand in a humble position. It's a petty theft case. Your Highness and Ding Guo Gong are here, so naturally they should be released!"
Han Zhongyi was so frightened that his face turned pale and he broke out in a cold sweat. Lin San and his wife, who were stunned just now, were overjoyed at the moment. His Royal Highness, King Zhao, is so smart. He is really amazing!
While he was panicking, Huang Xiaoru asked in a deep voice: "Did you hear that? Do you have any evidence? Did they steal the goose? Where did they steal it?"
Looking back, I should really read the Ming Dynasty Rules.
After saying that, he walked inside. Huang Zhixian was dumbfounded. What could be wrong? He had been screaming for more than 40 years.
Huang Zhixian's general was suspicious but did not dare to object, so he gave the order. Not long after, Lin San and his wife were taken into custody. Lin San was whipped more than ten times and was covered with bruises. Tang Sai'er was also injured, making him look pitiful.
Although we are a vassal king, we cannot be unreasonable and everything must be based on the Ming Law!
"Huang Zhixian, the facts of the case are very clear. The crime will be increased to second degree, and the family members will be included. We can arrest the Han family."
Zhu Gaosui said directly: "Huang Zhixian, if it is true that the theft is a needle, you will not be lenient. If you are framed, you will be severely punished... If you treat it this way, it is too confusing for official business?"
"Magistrate Huang, your men arrested a couple and said they stole the landlord's property. I came here just to inquire about this case."
Magistrate Huang was confused, how to judge?
Your Highness, King Zhao, has the final say. You can try whatever you want!
Is it really possible to prove innocence through caesarean section?
Clearly forcing honest people to die!
At this moment, Zhu Gaosui smiled, stood up, and walked over, "I just heard that you said they stole your geese, right?"
Zhu Gaosui laughed and said: "What you are saying is that I am deciding the case and helping you find evidence. Why don't you know how to be grateful? Don't worry, as long as you see the goose meat, I will help you make the decision."
"Beizi, Beizi just caught a pair of thieves who stole people's geese. Beizi took them to the Yamen for interrogation."
At this moment, Zhu Gaosui was already sitting in the lobby. Ever since he received Xu Jingchang's advice, Zhu Gaosui had gained a lot of experience and knew exactly what to do.
Xu Jingchang smiled, "It doesn't have to be like this. Just bring the relevant plaintiffs and defendants and ask them carefully. King Zhao and I are just here to observe."
Zhu Gaosui was calm and unhurried. What you said is all one-sided and cannot be verified. But what you just said makes sense. You let them dig out their stomachs to prove their innocence... I thought about this idea.
It’s really good.”
Tang Saier kept listening without saying anything, but at this moment she couldn't help it anymore, "You're talking nonsense, third brother and I didn't steal anything from your house!"
When Huang Zhixian saw this boy, he was very angry. Well, you are the one who brought King Zhao and Duke Ding here.
"His Royal Highness King Zhao, as a court official, arrests people at will and tortures them severely... This is a false accusation. According to Ming law, false accusations will be punished! As an official, the crime will be increased by one level. If you torture the innocent, you will be punished by one level.
wait."
This guy thought for a moment and ran in quickly. He still had to serve two great gods!
As he spoke, Zhu Gaosui actually took out a dagger and put it against Han Zhongyi's eye socket, seriously intending to dig out his eyeballs.
The county magistrate Huang took a secret look at Xu Jingchang and Zhu Gaosui and noticed that they were frowning, so he hurriedly increased the pressure.
So if you want to know how many bowls of noodles I have eaten, then go and see for yourself!
Zhu Gaosui smiled and patted Han Zhongyi on the shoulder, "Tell me, who do you want to see first? According to the rules of men left and women right, I will dig out your left eye first and go and see Lin San's. How about that?"
Zhu Gaosui subconsciously looked back at Xu Jingchang, wondering what to do about this?
Xu Jingchang laughed. Although Zhu Gaosui is full of evil, he is not ruthless enough. Isn't this an obvious thing?
When he saw these two people, Lin San's eyes almost dropped. Was his eyes right?
He suppressed his excitement and did not dare to say a word. He just lowered his head and his heart was beating wildly.
"Then do you have evidence?"
Zhu Gaosui was so proud that he returned to his seat and said to Xu Jingchang: "Cousin, if you look at this case, how many chapters can you write and publish it in Di Bao?"
Xu Jingchang said lightly: "Isn't it too petty to just put it in the newspaper? It's time for your Majesty to issue an edict and make it known to the world!"
I recommend Lao Bai Liang Cao, a great book by a man with great taste.
