Chapter 24: Beating the drum and complaining, first hit the forty big boards
Liu Youcai was secretly proud: Zhao Wu was greedy for money and would dare to do anything if he gave him enough benefits.
Give him sixty taels to capture this prodigal son first, and then settle the score with him later!
Wang Yuan glanced at Zhao Wu: "Are you excited?"
"What are you talking about? Could it be that I, Zhao Wu, am a person who forgets his righteousness for the sake of profit!"
Zhao Wu had a straight face and waved his hand: "Liu Youcai colluded with thieves and was taken to the county government!"
"Ah, Zhao Wu, you, you..."
Liu Youcai choked on his words, wondering why Zhao Wu suddenly changed his temper.
Zhao Wu sneered and said nothing.
He loves money, but he knows what money he can take and what money he cannot take.
Liu Youcai has a small belly and chicken intestines. If you take sixty taels from him today, he will be retaliated sooner or later.
Wang Yuan was so generous that he even gave money to the thieves who stole from him, so there was no problem in taking his money.
Besides, if I make thirty taels a day today, I will still have a lot of time in the future!
Is the water flowing slowly?
Liu Youcai helplessly looked at Wang Yuan and prayed: "Young Master Wang, I was wrong. As long as you let me go, I will never do anything against you again!"
Wang Yuan shook his head: "I can't trust you, so I'd better go to the county government office!"
The two strong men pressed Liu Youcai down and left!
Begging for mercy was useless, Liu Youcai said angrily: "Do you really think you've got me? I'm telling you there are people in my county, and you can't do anything to me. Find someone, find someone quickly!"
Wang Yuan looked at Liu Youcai for help, but no one responded.
Immediately escorted Liu Youcai, Liu Liu, Liu Qi, and Guo Liang to the county seat.
Not long after, two tigers, four seas, two strong men suppressed the other two helpers, a thief met, and fifty taels of silver were also found.
Two mule carts were hired in the town, Wang Yuan wrote a petition, and the group set off.
"Brother Yuan!"
Erhu said nervously: "Do you think we will see the county magistrate if we file a complaint?"
People in both cars were nervous.
None of the villagers have seen the county magistrate, and in fact no one wants to see him. If they do, they will start a lawsuit.
"not necessarily!"
Zhao Wu hummed: "Although the county magistrate is sitting in court, generally when a case is submitted with a complaint, the county magistrate doesn't think it's a big deal, so he just annotates it and leaves it to the people below to handle it. Our case involves the chief, and he can't say it's big or small!
"
Wang Sihai said: "Then when we go there, how are we going to submit the complaint? Are we going to beat the drum and cry out for injustice?"
Zhao Wu's face changed greatly: "You can't beat it randomly. The drum in the county government is called the Dengwen drum. When the county magistrate goes out and prepares to sit in the hall, the yamen servant will beat the drum to notify everyone. Those who want to complain can come and complain. The county magistrate also summons
Subordinate government officials can also beat the drum to summon people, but the number of sounds is different; those who use the drum to complain about small cases should be beaten first and then be beaten. When you get to the county government, be honest!"
Everyone nodded.
Wang Yuan sighed.
There are procedures for Daye litigation, including litigation at the county, government and state levels.
In fact, regardless of whether the case is large or small, the first step is to file a forty-level complaint.
If no county officials were involved in this case, the county magistrate would only comment on it.
Now I don’t know if he will be promoted to court, and he doesn’t want to see the county magistrate!
Tongsheng still needs to kneel down before an official in court, but showing off your talent does not require you to kneel down!
Although Tong Sheng is known as the little husband, he actually has no privileges at all. He is the same as the common people: he must perform corvee service, cannot keep slaves, and will be punished when he is imprisoned.
When the group arrived at the county seat, Zhao Wu took out the elder's waist badge and entered the city smoothly.
Just after passing the city gate, the mule cart was stopped by a gorgeous carriage, with a round black wooden plate with the word "Liu" gilded on it nailed to the front.
Liu Youcai was overjoyed when he saw it.
Zhao Wu's expression changed drastically.
There are three powerful people in the county, Zhou, Liu and Hu, who are engaged in the most profitable business of cloth, salt and grain. The Liu family is the largest salt merchant in the county.
In the past, Liu Youcai said that he was from the same lineage as the Liu family in the county. He thought he was trying to put his face on, but now it seems that there may be some connection.
The car curtain opened, and a young man wearing a square scarf and a brocade robe got out of the car. He clasped his fist at Wang Yuan from a distance and said, "Brother Mingtan, you're fine!"
Mingtan, the name of the predecessor.
Wang Yuan's face was expressionless: "If you have something to say, just say it!"
Liu Jianye, the legitimate son of the Liu family in the county seat, was admitted to the Tongsheng Examination at the same age as him. This year he was awarded the Scholarship and became a well-known young talent in Fu County.
When he was studying in the county town, Liu Jianye was very arrogant and looked down on his predecessor who came from the countryside.
My predecessor married Li Shihan and did not go to school for the past three years, so the two of them had little interaction.
However, Li family, Liu family family friends, Li Shihan and Liu Jianye were childhood sweethearts.
The two have been married for three years. Liu Jianye hinted several times that he would pay a sum of money to let his predecessor divorce Li Shihan, but his predecessor never agreed.
"Brother Mingtan is really quick to talk, so I have no choice but to get straight to the point!"
Liu Jianye pointed at Liu Youcai and said: "He is an uncle from a branch of the Liu family. I don't know how serious he has offended Brother Mingtan. I want to apologize to Brother Mingtan. I want to ask Brother Mingtan to reward me with a thin noodles. For the sake of the Liu family, don't argue with him anymore. Liu
I can’t thank you enough.”
"Hmph!"
Liu Youcai looked at Wang Yuan proudly.
The Liu family in the county seat was the largest salt merchant in Fu County, and the county magistrate had to give him some face.
Let’s see if you, a little boy, dare to give the Liu family a fight.
Zhao Wu quickly winked at Wang Yuan, hoping that Wang Yuan would agree.
The Liu family in the county seat is the largest salt merchant in Fu County. Not only is it rich, but it is also extremely powerful.
Transporting salt from the county town to Fuxian County, there were countless bandits along the way, and many caravans were robbed.
But nothing ever happened to the Liu family.
When the county magistrate, governor, and county captain take office, they must visit the Liu family every time they take office.
It can be said that without the support of the Liu family, life would have been difficult for the three gentlemen in the county.
If the Liu family wants to touch a petty official, it is easier than crushing an ant.
If he knew that Liu Youcai was related to the Liu family in the county, he would not be involved in this matter even if he was beaten to death.
Wang Yuan narrowed his eyes: "What if I don't agree?"
Liu Jianye chuckled: "Then you just go to the county government, I bet your petition will not be delivered to the county magistrate. Of course you can also beat the news drum, but I don't know if Brother Mingtan can withstand the forty big boards.
.”
Directly threatening, Wang Yuan narrowed his eyes: "Liu Youcai set up a trap to make me mortgage Shihan, real estate, and fields, and sell me into slavery. You must be the one behind it!"
Not to mention the uncle from the side branch, even the brothers from the fifth service, the Liu family would not let him take action.
As the legitimate son of the Liu family, he is a scholar with a good reputation. He will be an official in the imperial examination in the future, so he cannot be stained with stigma.
How could the Liu family let Reading Seed intercede for a petty official involved in bandits!
The only possibility is that the two of them had conspired, and Liu Youcai would be exposed after he was imprisoned.
Only Liu Jianye would come forward to stop it.
The only person who can allow Liu Jianye to plot his predecessor is his childhood sweetheart Li Shihan.
Liu Youcai looked at Wang Yuan in shock.
When did this prodigal son become so powerful and able to see through people's hearts?
He didn't say anything. As soon as Mr. Liu showed up, he guessed 99% of the time!
"You're getting smarter!"
Liu Jianye looked at Wang Yuan in surprise, and his face became gloomy: "You are a mud-legged person, and you are not worthy of Shihan at all. If it weren't for the changes in the Li family that year, you wouldn't be able to get involved with her. Shihan and I were childhood sweethearts, and she should have been mine.
Yes. I will give you another chance to collect the money and leave Shihan, otherwise there will be even greater disaster waiting for you in the future."
