When the customs officer saw that things had come to this, he was impatient and couldn't think about anything.
Staring at the gate of the customs officer, Li You pondered for a while and got an idea, and then said to the other five people: "I heard that this trafficking in smuggled salt is the capital and ship of the customs officer when he goes out?"
There is a word called inducement...
The prisoner who spoke first was very smart, and he made calculations based on his observation of words. He knelt down in front of Li You's case and said: "Master Inspector! All these things tonight are the mastermind of a customs officer! All the capital and ships belong to him, we are just waiting for him."
I thought I was just a hired hand in normal business, but I didn’t know that the young Cai was willing to make a confession!”
The presence of smart people cheering up made Li You feel very good, and he said kindly: "I am not an unreasonable person. Since I don't know whether I am innocent or not, the five of you will make a confession now, and then leave as soon as you are done, leaving the mastermind behind."
Being betrayed by everyone in his own party, he saw that others had nothing to do but he had to bear all the charges. In an instant, the customs officer was excited and furious, and he didn't know what to do when he started a riot. Several soldiers in custody were pinned to the ground.
Seeing the fat body of the customs officer struggling for his life, Li You felt secretly happy. You teased me over and over again during the marriage, as if I had become an unwanted leftover in your family, and how many people saw my joke. If
Master, if I had created a great reputation to cover up these shames, would my family still be able to hold its head high in the town?
After waiting for some more time, it gradually dawned. The confessions of the five people had been written and stamped. Li You took the confessions and flipped through them casually, then threw them on the case and shouted: "Witnesses."
If you have everything, what else can you say besides the customs officer!"
Why is God so blind? The customs officer was angrier and felt that he was even more unjust than Dou E in the play. He knew that Li You had not been in the inspection department for the past two days and that his nephew was on duty tonight, so he felt that everything was safe and he had made such a big profit.
Just give up the vote and Li You can't do anything to him in the future.
It was a good idea. If this was done, nothing would happen later. However, the customs officers were worried about others and were afraid of being taken advantage of. So thinking that there was no risk, they came to the dock to watch the unloading of salt cargo. Who expected that there would suddenly be officers and soldiers?
We came to round him up, but he was fat and ran slowly, so he was caught. In the end, everyone else was fine, but he was the unlucky one.
"Little Li family, it's unjust for God to avenge you!" The customs officer couldn't help shouting.
Is this person so straightforward and heartless? In this situation, you still don’t know how to bow your head and beg for mercy, so that you can be afraid of you by speaking harshly? Li You shouted: "Everyone has gained the stolen goods, but you still dare to roar in the public hall! Use sticks on both sides!"
Subconsciously he reached out his hand but found nothing. This was not a county government office, nor was he the county magistrate. There was no signature or gavel on the public case...
The soldiers next to me were also puzzled: "Sir, I don't have a stick."
The Inspection Department is only an inspection and arrest agency. It can only conduct a simple preliminary trial at most. It does not have the power to decide cases and impose sentences, so the common torture instruments are not complete.
It's hard to find an inspector like this. Li had to have a stick without a stick, so he ordered: "According to the law, the punishment is to be punished. It is customary to have a hundred canes with spines! I have the final say. I will first impose the punishment and then go to the county government."
I have the honor to take the blame, and I will shoulder the responsibility."
Li You is indeed a very clever and flexible person... Even if the Guan family had the means to report it to the heavens, at most one deputy inspection officer, Li, was found guilty of occasional misconduct and was fined a year and a half of salary. He also sold two thousand kilograms of illicit salt.
How can a prisoner who should be exiled three thousand miles have any human rights?
"No!" Secretary Guan suddenly rushed in from the side door, knelt on the ground and begged: "For the sake of my fellow countrymen, I beg you to let this uncle go! I have to repay your kindness even though I have been ruined!"
A grown man shouted no... What kind of confidant did his father-in-law find? But only a timid and cowardly person can reassure a man like his father-in-law, Li You thought disdainfully.
I also heard the official Guan Shuli say: "The rift between your Excellency and my uncle also started from the old inspector. At the beginning, the old inspector also promised to make peace on his behalf. It would be better to ask the old inspector first."
Secretary Guan was really confused because he was talking about something taboo about Li You's appointment as a new official.
The little clerk dares to use my father-in-law as my predecessor to pressure me. Do you really think that I am easy to talk to? Li You suddenly loudly said loudly: "Mr. Guan, you have made a meritorious report. I'm sure the amount of money distributed to you will not change after the illegal salt is found."
, but please don’t worry. At this time, don’t worry about your uncle who has violated the national law? He is not your biological father.”
Li You's deliberately provocative words came out of his mouth. After hearing this, the customs officer over there thought to himself, no wonder Li You suddenly appeared tonight and ruined a good thing. He became angry again and cursed the official Guan Shuli: "You are a thief who steals the inside and outside! I am blind."
I've come to you, a traitor, for advice! If you betray your elders, the family laws and clan rules will not let you go!"
"You dare to commit crime! You dare to insult the staff of this department in front of the court. Where is your right and left? You haven't been executed yet!" Li You, who had succeeded, ordered.
Seeing that the soldiers in the hall were about to beat him down with sticks, Guan Shuli rolled around to protect his uncle, but was spat on by his uncle. He didn't bother to wipe it off and shouted to Li You: "Sir! I would like to be a matchmaker.
, I told my uncle’s cousin to apologize to my concubine, and begged you to let my uncle go!”
Secretary Guan was still a little concerned. He knew why the hatred between Li You and his uncle arose. As the saying goes, to untie a bell, you really need to find the person with the bell. The little girl has to be given to someone else anyway.
Yes, it’s still a good deal to rescue my uncle. I have enough salt for two thousand kilograms but I have to be exiled for three thousand miles!
"Dog thief! Dog thief! Dog thief!" Hearing what his nephew said, the customs officer scolded him with an extremely ferocious look: "It's not enough for you to harm me, you also want to harm my daughter! You are totally unconscionable! Shameless! Shameless
!”
Li You was stunned for a moment, and that sudden face flashed through his mind again. The specific details may have been blurry, but the dignified and calm charm in his memory was very profound. It was the only one among the women he had ever seen.
This guy (whose background is too low and his knowledge is too simple). If he were to choose his own wife regardless of his family background, this would be the best candidate in his mind.
What's the use of thinking about these things now? Li You, a married patrol inspector, threw the distracting thoughts out of his mind.
He can do it in the first half of the word "bullying men and dominating women." But in the second half, he still has a bit of a psychological barrier. Using force will easily ruin the reputation of a romantic celebrity. Who has ever heard of that romantic talent openly (without knowing it secretly) robbing a common woman?
Yes? Sexy news spreads the fastest these days, and it can’t be covered up. Besides, he is really not lacking in this aspect, so forget it.
Li You's idea is to use a hundred killing sticks to prevent the whole town from saying that the Li family is incapable of even retaliating against the Guan family. If the Guan family has a wink in the future and is convinced, just go to the county to deal with it.
The inspector did not pursue the punishment of being exiled for three thousand miles after a hundred lashes with the rod, showing his tolerance and generosity in being kind to the village.
It's not that Li You is soft-hearted, it's because too much is not enough, and it's better to pay attention to the reputation among the local villagers. It's nothing to give him a hundred sticks. I guess the public opinion in the town will say that the Li family has the ability to take revenge and complain.
But if you really want to send the customs officers away for three thousand miles, or forcefully seize someone's daughter... the public opinion in the town will change. Everyone really thinks that the Li family is a local bully. This local bully has done too much, and it may not be as satisfying as in the novel.
For example, if an elder unfortunately dies, and everyone in the town looks at him with suspicion, and no one comes to carry the coffin, how can the funeral be held in such a deserted manner? A big landowner like Mr. Yan, who owns a whole village of tenants, simply ignores the bad comments.
Only then do we really have the conditions for a fish and meat village.
But a hundred sticks are not that comfortable. Can the customs officer support it?
Seeing that he couldn't stop him, Secretary Guan looked outside anxiously. His cousin had always been in charge of affairs in his uncle's house. How come there was no sign of rescuing anyone yet? What happened?
