Liu Yong was captured by the officials, and the situation quickly fermented in Nanxun town day and night, causing a great uproar.
Some people said: How can Liu Yong commit official crimes? I really can't tell it at ordinary times. I heard that this time he will spend half his life in prison.
Some said: Hey, people should not be judged by their appearance. I don’t know what he committed this time. I heard that the matter was serious. He committed the crime of resisting the imperial court, and it may be a capital crime.
Several small silk shops that could not receive spring cocoons this year were secretly happy, and some clamored that they hoped the county government would sentence them to ten or eight years.
The weather in May is sunny and sunny.
Liu Yong's case of "confronting the imperial court" will be tried here today.
The auditorium was full of people.
Mr. Wu sat solemnly above the court. On the wall above hung a plaque with the words "High Observation Mirror".
As the saying goes, being short-tongued will lead to soft-handedness. Mr. Wu's court hearing today must be settled quickly, otherwise, the fifty taels of silver placed in the box will still be a bit uneasy. Only the knock on the gavel will make everything go well.
Mr. Wu announced that the trial had begun and brought the criminal Liu Yong to the court.
Two government officials took Liu Yong to court.
Mr. Wu said: Criminal Liu Yong, let me ask you, what crime do you know?
Liu Yong said: Liu Yong, a good citizen, is well aware of the dignity of the king's law and is careful in everything he does. He still doesn't know which king's law he has violated. Please give me some advice.
Mr. Wu looked angry and said: You are a cunning person who ignores the king's laws and dares to openly confront the imperial court and snap up the imperial tribute silk quota, making it impossible to complete this year's tribute silk quota. You are committing the crime of resisting the imperial court. As he said this, he raised his alarm.
The wood will be knocked down.
It was said that it was late and then it was quickly, and he said: "Wait a minute!" The court hearing was in an uproar.
It turns out that Mr. Chen entered the court hearing as an inspector.
Mr. Chen said: Mr. Wu did not listen to the defendant's complaint, there was no complaint from the plaintiff, and there were no witnesses present. Is it too hasty to handle the case in this way?
The court hearing was in an uproar.
People are talking privately.
Some say Mr. Chen is reasonable in what he says.
Some said: What kind of sin is this?
At this time: A man stood up in the auditorium. He was Song Hongsheng from Jili Village. He said: Xiaomin is a villager in Jili Village. Please allow Xiaomin to give evidence.
Mr. Chen said: "Permission."
Song Hongsheng said: At the end of last year, it was the "green and yellow" season in the countryside. The owner of "Xing Zhengmao Silk Shop" brought banknotes to our village and signed a purchase and sale contract with the farmers in our village for this year's spring cocoon production, which is one-third of previous years.
.Payment on the spot solved the urgent needs of the villagers. He is our benefactor. Who knew that the spring cocoon production would be greatly reduced this year. Farmers are trustworthy and will first meet the predetermined quota, and then sell the rest to other businesses. How can we start to fight against the imperial court?
The scene was in an uproar.
Mr. Chen knocked on the gavel and said: Quiet! Quiet!
At this time, Mr. Wu began to sweat on his head.
Hong Ying also looked at her brother. For the first time, she felt that her brother was so great and dared to argue so hard in court. She felt very lucky to meet him.
Song Hongsheng continued: The words are written in white and black, one is willing to sell and the other is willing to buy. Panic buying is nothing but shameless talk. He raised his hand and cut the paper. He added: The contract is all here. Your Excellency needs to read it, and civilians can submit it.
Master Chen asked people to present all the contracts.
Mr. Wu was already a little restless there.
At this time, Accountant Xiao, the manager of "Xing Zhengmao Silk Shop", raised his hand.
Mr. Chen said: "Permission."
Accountant Xiao said: I have here a voucher for our bank's payment of Yizhuang tribute silk. According to regulations, the quota for handing in Yizhuang tribute silk is the same as last year, and our bank has actually exceeded the quota. Please take a look. At the same time, here is
A concept, what we booked in Jili Village is one-third of the spring cocoons in previous years, not all, and it is not into silk. What does the failure to meet the other quotas have to do with us?
At this time, Gu Fuchang also stood up and said with a smile: If making reservations is a crime, then so is this old man. "Xing Zhengmao Silk Shop" booked 100 loads of spring cocoons in Jili Village from "Fuchang Silk Shop", and one person works for one person.
Of course. I also have payment vouchers and receipts here. If you say this is a crime, then so am I. Haha.
Mr. Chen added: What other evidence does the plaintiff have?
Supervisor Yizhuang, who was sitting at the plaintiff's table, felt that something was wrong. This matter had nothing to do with them in the first place. It was Guangzhuang who dragged them into it. Supervisor Guangzhuang also said that he was the county government official and a fellow villager.
After a little fighting, the lawsuit was about to be won, and it was good to vent the anger. Now it is better, and I feel embarrassed if I don’t eat mutton. So I stood up and said: As the second plaintiff, we apply to withdraw the lawsuit.
Mr. Chen added: What other evidence does the first plaintiff have?
Sitting on the plaintiff's table, Director Guangzhuang felt that something was wrong and could only shake his head.
Mr. Chen smiled and said: If others don't have new evidence, I have one here. He went on to say: This year, due to climate reasons, the production of spring cocoons has been greatly reduced. The amount of silk purchased in Guangzhuang is less than in previous years.
10%. So, Manager Wang from Guangzhuang went to discuss with the manager from Yizhuang. Manager Wang, because he was from the same hometown as our Mr. Wu, gave us Mr. Wu fifty taels of silver. Therefore, Mr. Wu, our Mr. Wu, also acted vigorously and resolutely.
, it only took three days from the time the report was filed to the hearing. I wanted this case to be resolved quickly. The efficiency of the work is so high!
At this time, Mr. Wu felt that this was completely judging him. He was covered in cold sweat and said incoherently: Silver, I don’t want the silver. It was the king, manager Wang who put it there for me.
The court hearing was in an uproar.
Lord Chen of the state capital kept knocking on the gavel. Quiet! Quiet!
Mr. Chen smiled and said to Mr. Wu: I am just an inspector. It is your county government's business to decide how to judge according to reason and law.
Mr. Wu waved his hand and said incoherently: "Let him go, let him go, let him go quickly." He picked up the gavel and struck it. He stood up, took the file and turned around to leave.
Supervisors Yizhuang and Guangzhuang, who were at the plaintiff's table, originally wanted to bribe the government and lock Liu Yong up for a few years, but they also made such a move. They did not expect that they would end up in such an embarrassing end. They also stood up and walked away in despair.
Liu Yong stood up, bowed his hands and said to Mr. Chen: Thank you Mr. Chen for your understanding. He also bowed his hands to the people in the auditorium and said: Thank you! Thank you!
The first person who came to Liu Yong's tomb was Hong Ying. Hong Ying looked at Liu Yong with both affection and tears.
Liu Yong stretched out his hand to wipe Hong Ying's tears, and Hong Ying burst into laughter.
Many people came over and bowed to Liu Yong with both hands, saying: Congratulations to Mr. Liu’s family, it’s a false alarm, it’s a false alarm.
Gu Fuchang came to Master Chen's tomb, bowed his hands and said: Thank you Master Chen for your insight.
Mr. Chen smiled and said: If you are an official and do not make decisions for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes.
Gu Fuchang added: You are busy with official duties. I will go back to Nanxun. See you later.
Mr. Chen also said: See you later.
Gu Fuchang, Liu Yong, Hong Ying and Song Hongsheng, who came to testify, collectively called a ship back to Nanxun.
There were people talking and laughing on the ship, and the atmosphere was completely different.
A little bit said: This Guangzhuang is a bit too much. I don’t have food to eat, and I hate the delicious rice in other people’s houses.
Some people said: They didn't take care of themselves. They came to Nanxun from Guangdong and settled down. The Nanxun people didn't bully them, but they bullied us Nanxun people.
Gu Fuchang also said: Doing things and being a human being are like the boat we are now. You are careful not to bump into others, but there will be boats to bump into you.
We were joking, and the boat from Huzhou to Nanxun was smooth sailing, so the boat felt fast.
The boat docked at Nanxun Pier. The shore was filled with people watching the excitement, and someone specially set off eight firecrackers on the pier.
Gu Fuchang stood up and said: Everyone, thank you for your hard work. This time is the result of the concerted efforts of us Nanxun people. After landing, everyone went directly to Daqing Tower. I am happy today and I will treat you.
Liu Yong said: My father-in-law has worked hard and spent energy and money. It is right for me to invite everyone.
Hong Ying took Liu Yong and said, "I'll go home first and get some clothes for you. You go to the Wen Hall to take a bath first to wash away the bad luck."
Hearing that Liu Yong and the others had returned, Yu Hui held Xiao Dongmei and Liu Yong's parents at the door and looked up in anticipation. Seeing Hong Ying coming back in a hurry, they all stepped forward to greet him and asked questions.
Liu Yongniang took Hong Ying's hand and burst into tears with excitement. She said: A Ying, thank God, thank you for your hard work.
Hong Ying said: I don't have anything, I should, it mainly depends on Eunuch Gu. I will bring back some clothes first and let him take a bath.
Yu Hui said: You are still thoughtful.
The Daqing Building was very lively.
Gu Fuchang picked up the wine glass, stood up and said: Thank you everyone! What happened today is not a matter of the 'Xing Zhengmao Silk Shop' family. Making something out of nothing and deliberately framing it is a major matter for our Nanxun town. But it is also a lesson that must be learned in the future.
Business ethics, credibility, and rules. Everyone has worked hard. Come and have a drink. I respect everyone.
I heard that Liu Yong had returned, and Xing Gengxing and Zhang Yuping also came to participate.
Xing Gengxing took the wine glass and walked up to Gu Fuchang and said: "This time, you have worked hard for the scepter. Come on, I will toast you this glass alone."
Gu Fuchang smiled and said to Xing Gengxing: Your brother is very lucky. There is such a rising star cashier in the industry. In a short time, he will definitely stand out in Nanxun.
Xing Gengxing also smiled and said: Thanks to you, thanks to you.
Liu Yong returned home.
Liu Yong and Yu Hui were leaning on the bed.
Yu Hui said that this time it was thanks to sister Hong Ying’s good idea to go to Eunuch Gu that the problem was solved satisfactorily.
Liu Yong asked: Then why did you not go with Eunuch Gu?
Yu Hui smiled and said: I'm afraid I'm pregnant again. She was afraid that there would be bumps and bumps when I got on and off the boat, and riding on a boat would cause a bigger reaction.
Liu Yong happily hugged Yu Hui and said: Really?
Yu Hui blushed and said nothing.
Liu Yong sighed and said: It seems that this family is increasingly inseparable from Hong Ying. This chapter has been completed!
