On this day, the county magistrate Chen was freed and promoted to a director. In the country's dynasty system, the magistrate was an official close to the people and had to personally judge the case and investigate the case. Although it was very annoying, there was nothing he could do.
Just when the notice board was put out, a complaint was handed in. Magistrate Chen took a closer look and found that it was a complaint against Li You, the county magistrate, for breaking into the house with the intention of raping and beating his family members.
After Chen Zhixian read the petition, he knew in his heart that there must be something hidden in it. Although Li You was not a serious person, he might have been a womanizer, but at least he kept his integrity and would not do anything illegal.
Immediately, the plaintiff Fan Wu was summoned, and someone was sent to summon Li You.
After hearing this, Li You sneered a few times, did this person really dare to bring death to his doorstep? Now he was sure that this immortal dance was premeditated by someone. It is very simple, if a few gangsters set up a trap to defraud people and seek money, they would fail.
Do you take the initiative to go to the Yamen to file a complaint?
But Fan Wu was seen kneeling in the court, crying and complaining: "A small man lives in a certain lane in Beiguan and rents a building in front of his house to make a living. At noon today, Li Dianshi of the county government passed by Xiaomin's shop and was drunk because of drinking.
He was thirsty for tea, so Xiaomin was very kind to entertain him. Seeing the beauty of Xiaomin's wife, Li Dianshi, the clinker, became jealous and forced her to beg her for sex. When the wife refused, he was beaten and stripped by Li Dianshi, who then took off her clothes.
I went to stop him, but I was beaten by Thief Li instead. In broad daylight, ordinary people were humiliated for nothing, please let Master Qingtian make the decision!"
Li You, who was summoned, stood aside and sneered again and again.
Not to mention Chen Zhixian, the government officials on both sides didn't believe it. All the prostitutes' houses in the city opened their doors and waited for Mr. Li to come. Is there any beauty that can't be found? Do you have to ignore your great future and rape your mother-in-law?
Chen Zhixian was shocked and said: "Don't lie to me! Do you have any evidence?"
Fan Wu took out Li You's official hat and said, "This thief fled in a hurry. He left his hat here and embroidered his name on it so that he can know who he is."
The yamen officer took the hat and handed it to Chen Zhixian. When Chen Zhixian saw it, it turned out to be Li You's name, and he cursed in his heart. He also said, "There is only incomplete physical evidence, so do you have any witnesses?"
Fan Wu shouted: "The lady and the two men are at home, and they are all witnesses."
Chen Zhixian scolded: "Your wife is also the victim of the plaintiff, and the man has an interest in you, so he cannot be a witness. Is there any witness to this matter from the neighbors?"
To be honest, it is quite unclear whether this guy can be used as a witness for his boss or not. Whether he accepts it or not depends on the mood of the case judge. It doesn't matter if the county magistrate Chen deliberately favors Li You. Besides, such a cunning man who makes trouble out of nothing really makes the magistrate arrogant.
Very disgusting.
Li You was glad in his heart. Fortunately, I knocked down the little thief immediately and didn't provoke anyone else to come over. In other words, public security in this dynasty has always been about neighbors working together. There is a policeman in each family, and all the neighbors have to come out to rescue. Fortunately, Li You took Mrs. Fan to the rescue.
He was beaten to the ground and couldn't be yelled at. Later, Fan Wu and three other people desperately failed to stop Li You and let Li You run away. Even calling people to come was in vain.
Fan Wu raised his arms and shouted: "The petty officials are running rampant and the big boss doesn't care. Is there no law in Xujiang County? There is no daylight! There is no daylight!"
Chen Zhixian did not accept this trick. He threw down the sign and said: "What a cunning person! If you dare to criticize the government and talk nonsense about the king's laws, I will drag you left and right and hit the top ten first!"
After the beating, Fan Wu lay on the ground, still a bachelor and a scoundrel, and continued to shout: "I beat the common people to death and they won't accept it! There is no justice for officials to protect each other! Even the common people who have spent all their wealth will sue! If the Suzhou government doesn't care, they will sue! If you have the ability,
Just beat the little man to death! The little man will die in this courtroom and watch how the great master resolves the case!"
You even filed a complaint... Do you know which way the palace door opens? Li You sneered.
Fan Wu was hanging out in the market, doing a lot of bad things, and taking advantage of his arrogance. At this time, he brought this habit to the court. What's more, he had the backing of his owner and let Diao go. Come without any fear.
But after all, he is the plaintiff, and Magistrate Chen cannot just attack him. If he does not hit the defendant but only hits the plaintiff severely, the traces of favoritism are too heavy, damaging to the image, and a wise man will not accept it.
Li You saw that the heat was almost over, and it was time to show up to let this scoundrel see the world. He took a step forward and said: "Master, I also have a lawsuit to file. I will file a lawsuit against Bandit Fan Wu for two false accusations!"
Chen Zhixian thought to himself, you are really not stupid, so he said to Li You: "Tell me in detail!"
How can I go into details? To say too much would be to make mistakes. Li You simply said that Fan Wu and Mrs. Fan robbed his hat for robbery. The evidence was the hat that Fan Wu took out on his own initiative. As for the crime of false accusation, everyone just said There is no need to talk much about what I saw.
County Magistrate Chen slapped the gavel hard and shouted: "Fan Wu! Li You is accusing you of two charges. Do you plead guilty?"
What, are you asking me if I plead guilty? Have I become the defendant? Fan Wuguang, a gangster, was a little stupid at this time. After he realized it, he couldn't admit it! He cried and screamed again, shouting that God has no eyes.
"The law is in front of us, but the thieves dare not plead guilty!" County Magistrate Chen issued an order: "Hand on with a stick!" Since he is the defendant, there is no taboo against being tortured to extract a confession.
Then the wolf-like Zaoli pinned Fan Wu to the ground. They wanted to betray Li You. They closed Fan Wu's legs with two sticks and clamped them hard. Fan Wu fainted from the severe pain on the spot.
After being splashed to wake up, he clamped again, clamped again and fainted, continued splashing to wake him up and clamped again, repeated three times, Fan Wu couldn't stand it any longer. He lay on the ground and gibbered: "Master, I know I was wrong! I shouldn't have done this. Falsely accusing Li Dianshi! I beg you, the elder, to spare this little one! I am willing to work like a cow or a horse to repay the elder!"
Chen Zhixian was unmoved and continued to ask: "Now that we have recruited him, where is your accomplice now?"
There was nothing Fan Wu could not say, and he confessed that he was still waiting for news in the shop. The county magistrate Chen issued a summons on the spot, ordering the catcher on duty to arrest Mrs. Fan and the other three.
While waiting, Fan Wu felt very regretful. He usually gathered some gangsters to do arrogant and unreasonable things, but who would have expected that the people in the court would be even more unreasonable than him! He was obviously filing a lawsuit as a plaintiff, but he originally wanted to know that the county magistrate would not allow it. That's it, I went home and tried another method. Instead, I beat him until he was confused and forced him to confess. This time he was completely screwed. If he was convicted later, he would have to be punished with dozens of big sticks.
I usually see government officials being fierce and overbearing and not easy to mess with, but I didn't expect that even a small official who writes and draws can be so powerful. This world is really dark, and the little man Fan Wu is deeply aware of it.
Li You was not willing to let it go, and told the county magistrate Chen: "Fan Wu dares to rob and falsely accuse government officials. He must have something to rely on. I beg you to investigate!"
Fan Wu was like a frightened bird. He was so frightened that he shouted: "Don't be punished! I have all the tricks! It's all Manager Fang who instructs me to do things!"
"Who is Manager Fang?" Chen Zhixian asked.
"I heard that he managed the shop for a wealthy family, and used the money to give orders to the younger ones." Fan Wu was too specific and wasn't particularly clear.
But that's enough! As soon as Chen Zhixian and Li You heard about the Yan family, they knew which Yan family it was.
Chen Zhixian scolded Fan Wudao: "You do this! Don't make false accusations against others!"
Fan Wu felt aggrieved and thought, isn't this what you want to ask?
Obviously, Chen Zhixian intends to pursue the case only on Fan Wu, and does not want to involve other people anymore. According to his intention, if the Yan family brings trouble to Li You, he can stand in the way and prevent Li You from getting involved. You were wronged. But if you want to take the initiative to help Li You find trouble with the Yan family, forget it. One more thing is worse than one less thing.
What's more, even if the Yan family's father and son are found, what will happen? People with a good reputation are not allowed to be tortured at will. If they are not sentenced to severe punishment and there is no solid evidence, who is willing to confess? So the search is in vain, so let's not search at all.
Li You also saw this, and couldn't help but cursed in his heart like Fan Wu, this world is really dark!
