1.54 Yamen Judgment

The high-ranking officials of Ximen are going to cry out for injustice!

The news spread like a wild dog out of the reins and spread throughout the country in Qinghe County in an instant. The common people, all wearing cotton-padded clothes, came to the county government office to watch the excitement. Although some poor people knew that it was cold, they still gritted their teeth.

I came here, not to mention anything else, but just for the three meals of "thin" porridge I drank every day in Ximen Daguanren's porridge shack, and today I want to help Ximen Daguanren build up his reputation!

In just a short time, the county government office was packed to three floors inside and out, and countless people were still arriving in an endless stream. The county government office was originally gloomy, but as the saying goes, "three people broke into the ice room",

As soon as so many people came in, the masculine and upright atmosphere in everyone dispersed the sneaky and sinister atmosphere in the yamen.

Li Zhixian was inadvertently interrogating the death case at the old bustard's house. Unexpectedly, when the drum of injustice was heard in front of the Yamen, Ximen Qing barged in. Li Zhixian had been bringing good luck since his family had offered merit pancakes. Not only did he die,

The deceased father said in his dream that he had transcended the sea of ​​suffering, and through Ximen Qing, he also got in touch with Song Qiaonian, the censor of the Shandong Supervision Bureau. He was truly blessed.

Therefore, when Li Zhixian saw Ximen Qing, he immediately beamed and became more cordial than when he saw the concubine he kept secretly outside. Although he was in the courtroom, he still leaned forward and said, "Brother Siquan is here to hear the trial?"

Come on - why don't you hurry up and arrange seats for the gentry of this county?"

Unexpectedly, Ximen Qing cupped his hands and said, "Sir, the common people are here to complain!"

"Ah?" Li Zhixian's eyes suddenly widened even more than Master Wu Xing's cooking cake, "So the person playing the drum is you? Mr. Ximen, how can you be wronged? Who dares to wrong you? You

By the way, I will make the decision with you!"

"Thank you, sir!" Ximen Qing said, kicking Li Waizhuan who was crawling on the ground, holding his fist and saying, "Sir, this is the person who wronged me!"

Li Zhixian took a quick look and peeled away the appearance to see the essence. He immediately recognized this guy whose nose was not a nose and his mouth was not a mouth: "Isn't this the soap official Li Waizhuan used by my yamen?"

Ximen Qing said loudly: "Sir, this person is not your servant, but a poisonous snake hiding next to you!" As he said that, he repeated what Li Waizhuan had just said to him.

Finally, Ximen Qing said: "If this person has deceived me, but used my name to carry out this poisonous plan, it will not damage my reputation? How much of a crime is this to ruin someone's reputation and hinder someone's cultivation?"

Please make the decision for me, sir!"

"Oh! That's it!" Li Zhixian said, twirling his beard.

Ximen Qing continued to say: "My lord's official reputation was originally pure and upright, but it was ruined by shameless people like Li Waizhuan who pretended to be powerful! My lord has 100% moral governance towards the people of Li.

In the hands of such wolf-hearted people, they have sucked up all the oil and water, and taken advantage of them, but they still have to break the bones and suck out the marrow and exploit the people. In the end, the people are boiling with resentment. They are revolutionized by Shangxian, but it is not the adults who suffer? What about this?

If you keep a villain by your side, you will do a hundred harms and no good at all!"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhixian thought to himself: "I can't afford to offend Ximen Qing. Since Li Waichuan has deeply angered him, I will go along with the situation and dismiss Li Waichuan. This will make it appear that

I am truly upright, and secondly, I showed my full love in front of the high-ranking officials of Ximen, but it is not good? Anyway, there are many such lackeys, but Lord Ximen and his merit cake are the only one.

, no other semicolons.”

Having made up his mind, his face darkened, he slapped the tree on the wall and shouted angrily: "Li Waizhuan, what the high official Ximen just said, did he wrong you?"

Li Waizhuan was smart and knew what was going on. As soon as he heard Li Zhixian's tone, he knew that he had become an abandoned pawn across the river. His thoughts immediately turned to him, and he kowtowed: "The county magistrate is a clear warning, and every word of the high official Ximen is true." , I didn’t accuse the little one unjustly. If it weren’t for the fact that the Chinese New Year is approaching, and there is no rice or firewood at home, how could I have come up with this despicable idea? I just ask the adults and officials to take pity on the little guy and give him a lighter sentence!"

Li Zhixian snorted: "You are a bitch, you have very bad intentions. Fortunately, you just thought about it in your heart. If you really do it, how can it be repaid? A person with such bad conduct like you, in this county's yamen How can I retain you? Today I will fire you first, to set an example for those who harm the public, enrich their own interests, and prey on the common people! Come on!"

The servants around him responded feebly: "Yes!"

Li Zhixian dropped the two fire sticks from the public case: "Pull it down and hit twenty big boards——" Seeing that there was still a look of inadequacy on Ximen Qing's face, he added calmly, "—— Add forty more boards!”

The slaves rushed up like wolves and tigers, dragged Li Waichuan down, rounded up the water and fire sticks, and started beating him. Li Waichuan screamed miserably at the beginning, but his voice slowly became lower in the end. After the sixty big boards were beaten, it was already silent.

However, Ximen Qing was very clear-minded. Although the Zaoli who were hitting the boards shouted loudly, when the boards fell, the sticks hit the ground first. Although the dust was flying on the ground, they were only scratching the surface. Li Waichuan learned the lesson. It is really limited. The most rare thing is Li Waizhuan. According to the length of the execution, the screams are one after another, the sound is from high to low, from long to short, and the timing is just right. After the last stroke, the drums just stopped. .In this modern life, he will definitely become a movie king.

However, Ximen Qing was no longer in the mood to care about all this, because Li Zhixian County was in the process of punishing the old bustard of the Li family. Looking at the scenery and missing people, Ximen Qing's suppressed sadness surged up again.

But I heard Li Zhixian say to the old bustard: "Since the high official Ximen testified for you and Li Waizhuan's confession, the facts are clear, but you are unjust. Go home now! Quit court!"

The officials shouted powerful chants, and the people knelt down. Today, everyone watched Li Zhixian sack Li Waichuan and beat him severely. They were all happy, and they knelt down willingly.

In the lobby, only Ximen Qing stood up and refused to kneel. Of course Li Zhixian did not think it was contrary to the rules, and all the people thought it was natural and natural. Ximen Qing and Li Zhixian bowed to each other, and Ximen Qing said: "Sir, I have something important to do. Farewell! If you complain about the damage, people will naturally be sent to repair it."

Li Zhixian waved his hand: "No, no, that drum is just a deaf person's ear - it doesn't make any difference whether it is a decoration or not! Brother Siquan, please come to my office to talk about it when you have time."

Li Waichuan, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, secretly watched Ximen Qing leave the yamen, and waited for Li Zhixian to retreat into the back hall. Then he got up dejectedly and thanked the gang of slaves one by one. Everyone complained about him, but no one It’s time to provoke the high-ranking Ximen officials, but now not only have they failed to get any profit, but they have also lost their jobs. But isn’t this just losing your wife and losing your troops?

Li Waichuan smiled bitterly and said: "How do I know that the big insect changed its temper and stopped eating chickens and ducks, but started eating his own family?"

Amid the roar of laughter from the crowd, Li Waichuan slipped out of the yamen like a defeated rooster. Although the sixty-six boards on his legs were not beaten hard, the beating Ximen Qing gave him at the beginning was really heavy. The further he walked, the worse he got.

In pain, he couldn't help but said with hatred: "Ximen Qing, just wait! One day, Mr. Li will take revenge for this!"

Before he finished speaking, someone behind him laughed and said, "Haha! It's so easy for Brother Li to say that!"

When Li Waizhuan heard this, he was startled. When he turned around to look, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "It turns out to be you?!" This is exactly what he said:

Unjust people retaliate for unjust things, and instigating ghosts see instigating thieves. But they don’t know who it is. Let’s hear the explanation next time.
