"Why are you scolding me?" Wen Guan was a little unhappy, pointing at the scholar-looking man and pushing him.
But the scholar chuckled and fell to the ground, playing porcelain.
He also shouted: "Come and see, the county master is letting people commit murder and beating them."
Wen Guan became anxious and said angrily: "I just touched you."
"Did everyone hear this? He admitted that he hit me." The scholar didn't care about this and kept chirping.
The people behind him didn't know why, and they all pointed.
Seeing that Wen Guan was a little angry, Jiang Yang narrowed his eyes and scanned the whole place.
interesting.
Seeing that Wen Guan was about to attack, Jiang Yang pulled him back, looked at the scholar and said, "Who are you?"
"Me? I'm just a passing scholar. I can't tolerate sand in my eyes. I'm just a brave man who stood up after learning that the county magistrate was killing the people." The scholar glanced at Wen Guan contemptuously.
Then he turned over and climbed up and patted the dirt on his body.
Jiang Yang chuckled and said, "How do you know they are innocent?"
"As far as I know, they just admired the face of the county master, prayed in the porridge and drank a sip of white porridge." The scholar continued: "If taking advantage of small things can be considered, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate for you to go to jail directly."
Jiang Yang nodded and said, "That's what you said."
Seeing that Jiang Yang was about to compromise, Wen Guan rushed forward and wanted to do something, but was stopped by Jiang Yang.
However, Jiang Yang hadn't spoken yet. He stared at the scholar quietly and said, "Who said I want to punish them for such a crime?"
The scholar was stunned for a moment, and had a bad feeling in his heart. He hesitated and said, "Sir, are you trying to find someone guilty? Such a young man has to pay back his innocence even if he has to risk his life."
"Snatching charges? Not that much." Jiang Yang said with a smile: "According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, if I am suspicious, the people of the Tang Dynasty must cooperate and be investigated in the county government for three days."
"Now I suspect that they have other crimes, what's wrong with being detained for three days?" Jiang Yang said, his voice gradually getting louder, he walked up to the scholar and said: "Is it possible that you are not citizens of the Tang Dynasty? You want to rebel?
Can’t do it?”
The scholar was startled by Jiang Yang's momentum and took a step back.
When he flinched a little, someone behind him helped him.
"Is there any evidence for your words like this?" the scholar asked.
Jiang Yang glanced at him and said indifferently: "My suspicion is enough! If there is evidence within three days, he should be dealt with according to the law. If there is no evidence, he should be released."
Staring at the scholar in white, Jiang Yang glared and said, "Do you have anything else to say?"
He could tell at a glance that the scholar in white was arranged by a wealthy family. Today's drama was interesting, but it didn't trouble him.
"This... this..." The scholar in white was actually unwilling.
If Jiang Yang can be forced to surrender today, then Jiang Yang will have no dignity in the entire Xia Mi County, and Jiang Yang will bring out the law.
It's true, if we were forced to label him as a rebel at this time.
Then he can't stand it after playing. If everyone wants to make a fuss, they must make a fuss within a certain range.
The scholar in white pretended to be calm and said coldly: "Then I will come to pick you up in three days! At that time, I will see if you have any real evidence. If not, I will go to the county to complain."
After saying that, he turned around and left. Seeing that all the people who supported him were leaving, the women naturally pretended to cry and repeated that they were good men before leaving.
The people also dispersed in a hurry, but Jiang Yang's scheme didn't stop there.
He turned to look at Chen Zhiyong and said: "There are still more than one hundred taels in the county government office. You can exchange them for twenty five-tael silver ingots and give them to me later."
Chen Zhiyong nodded, but Wen Guan looked anxious.
"Brother, if you want me to tell you, I just went up and gave him a mouthful to make him talk nonsense."
Jiang Yang shook his head and said: "If you want to beat people, just prove that we are corrupt, bending the law and harming the people. By then, this reputation will spread to the entire Xiami County, and I, the county boss, will be done with it."
Water can carry a boat and also capsize it. When the people use it, it is a sharp sword, but when it is not used, it is like a flea in the mire, whether life or death.
"Ah?" Wen Guan obviously didn't expect this level, and said with some guilt: "Brother... Then I just did it."
"It's okay. It's okay to be a little stronger. You'll listen to my arrangements later." Jiang Yang patted his shoulder and reassured.
Several people had breakfast in the county government office. Watching the sun rise slowly, Jiang Yang thought that it was almost time.
I took the two of them to the porridge shop for a walk.
In order, the affected people were eating one after another, and some diligent people were still building the second or even third stove.
Although most people were lying lazily on the ground, there was nothing they could do.
Jiang Yang arranged for the Ma brothers to continue serving porridge and then left.
After noon, just after lunch, there was a sudden commotion at the Dongmenmen vegetable market.
"Let me go! What do you want to do?" It was Wang San and Ding Bo who said this.
Looking at the direction Jiang Yang was heading in, they tried to break away, but Chen Zhiyong pinched him hard with one hand.
There was Wen Guan watching with eager eyes.
They knew that the Dongmen Wet Market was a place where people beheaded their heads, and they were instantly panicked.
Shouting along the way, hoping to draw people out.
This suits Jiang Yang's heart, he just wants more people! He wants everyone to come!
After forcing several people to kneel down here, Jiang Yang took out a chair and sat there without saying a word.
Soon the people surrounded the place.
Point and point.
"Isn't that Wang San? Why was he arrested by the county master? Is this okay?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it would be great if I could really ask."
"This bastard has done a lot of bad things over the years."
"Could it be their mother-in-law who made a scene at the county government office this morning?"
"You still have to ask? That must be the one who took action. Don't even think about it... these people will be released soon."
"That's right. Think about the last county magistrate. He was a hard-nosed official and a smooth magistrate."
"I guess I'm just putting on a show. Who would dare to believe the current county government?"
The common people were whispering, and Jiang Yang heard some of it, and felt relieved.
That's fine.
Seeing that the crowd was almost gone, Jiang Yang stood up and waved: "Dear fellow villagers, I am the magistrate of Xiami County! Li You!"
"There must be some acquaintances with some of you on the stage!"
Jiang Yang continued: "I want to bring peace to the people and execute these people, but when I first arrived here, there was no evidence!"
"So I am here to collect evidence from you common people. If you provide evidence, I will not only guarantee your safety! I will also reward you with money."
After saying this, he motioned to Wen Guan to bring up the plate, and twenty fifty-tael silver ingots were arranged neatly on it.
As soon as the red cloth was unveiled, the eyes of the people were very hot.
This is real money. You must know that five taels of silver can ensure that a family of six people can eat and drink without worries for a year.
