Chapter 170: A powerful move is a killing stick

It should be said that Hu Lizheng is already fifty. He was born with a plain and thin appearance and has no other prominent relatives in his family. However, when he was over sixty years old, he had an affair with someone and got a daughter, who grew up to be as beautiful as a flower. And this is the comparison.

He is enough

His sister, who was thirty years younger, was not suitable for the commander-in-chief of the provincial capital to bump into her when he was out. He took her back as his concubine with one hundred taels of silver. So Hu Lizheng not only got one hundred taels of silver, but also

There is an extra cheap brother-in-law who is a high-ranking official.

Therefore, although Hu Lizheng was just a minor upright, not to mention the county magistrate, even the successive magistrates were polite to him after finding out his details, and some magistrates who were good at flattering even sent him to work.

They may even use the word "please". Over time, someone will really regard themselves as a person.

At this time, in the county government compound, everyone else was standing respectfully, but he was sitting at the foot of the steps and humming. Not to mention that other people did not dare to say a word, even those on duty had the right to do so.

He didn't see it, and a familiar policeman even took a chance and brought him a cup of hot tea, which made the situation even more nondescript.

"Tsk, isn't he just a seventh-grade sesame official? Why are you putting on airs and asking me to serve you here every day?"

After drinking a cup of hot tea, Hu Lizheng stood up, glanced at the courtroom, and then pouted to the others and said, "You should have seen it too. Today, the county magistrate Luo and Zhao are in the courtroom."

The bookkeepers didn’t come, and the clerks who were doing the work were also missing.

Most of them won't come, so why should we hold the vat here? In short, I won't serve you anymore. If you know better, you should leave as soon as possible! Isn't there a saying... well, don't you blame everyone? Eat it when the time comes

Don’t blame me for not reminding you!"

After saying this, he walked arrogantly outside the county government office, and soon disappeared. Seeing this scene, several others looked at each other for a while, and some people looked up at the court hall. It was really sparse.

Morality, no matter how crooked it is

After thinking for a moment, they asked for leave from the office staff at the foot of the steps - some said that someone in their family was seriously ill, some said that they were not feeling well, and some simply made up the excuse that the daughter-in-law of the family was having a baby.

, most of the people left at once.

To handle official documents, a clerk needs to understand the paperwork, to compare money and food, he needs to be honest and cooperative, and to deal with litigation, he needs to be proficient in Ming law. Zhang Yue had never been an official in his previous life. This is the first time he has become an official in this life. If we talk about the format of the article,

He was relatively proficient at it, so he was almost completely in the dark about the money, food, and lawsuits, and it took him a month to get the Ming Law before he left.

However, it is said that being an official requires experience, which is true at all. Therefore, the four senior officers who had been working as officials with Zhang Xin for more than ten years and were proficient in clerical affairs came to take over.

Chang Sui also organized the official documents as quickly as possible for him to use for printing. Naturally, he could be said to be relaxed and happy.

The only surprise was the sound of drums in the morning hall. A common man beat the drums and complained. After being brought up by the guards, he threw himself on the ground and burst into tears. He said that he had lost his cattle.

Faced with such a trivial matter that came to complain to the government, all the officers in the hall looked at each other. The petty officials who were shocked by Zhang Yue's swiftness in doing things were also inexplicable. The government office opened to the south, and no one came in if they had a reason or no money. This

Usually no one in the yamen complains all year round, for fear of being beaten to the bone and sucked out the marrow. This time someone lost a mere cow but beat the drum. Could it be that there is something wrong with his head?

"Master, my family only has one farm cow. This morning, I woke up and found that the cow was missing. I followed the tracks and chased it out. I only saw a cow skeleton. Next to it was Hu Dahai, the son of Hu Lizheng from Wanli Township.

The young man asked him where the cow had gone. He actually said... He actually said that he and his companions had divided it and eaten it! Master, the young man only has two acres of land and usually lives on the cow. Please give me some land.

Make the decision! If the cow is gone, the little ones will have no way to survive. They might as well die in this lobby!"

Zhang Yue saw the six-foot tall man sitting on the ground crying sadly, and when he heard the cause and effect, he immediately became furious. Seeing that the man had a simple and honest face, he kowtowed after saying something. He was indeed a first-class honest man, so he immediately made people stern.

It was said that the police officer involved in the case was coming. Who knew that the police officer had gone out for a while. When he came back, he said that Hu Lizheng from Wanli Township had gone back because of family matters, and most of the other police officers outside had also taken leave and left.

Although Zhang Yue handled his official duties smoothly today, it did not mean that he would let go of the many people who asked for leave today. So when he heard that many Li Zheng had left without saying a word, he was immediately annoyed.

As soon as he was stunned, he yelled angrily: "The morning service has just begun. Even if there is an emergency in Zhuli's family, wouldn't he report it to me first? They actually left without telling me. How courageous they are! Mr. Chen!"

Because he had offended the county magistrate before, Chen Captou could be said to have been living on tenterhooks these days. Although Zhang Yue not only failed to punish him that day, but also acted strangely afterwards, he had to be on guard. Moreover,

The county magistrate and the chief registrar both came to him quietly, and in their words they pointed out that the new magistrate had a deep grudge against him, and asked him to think carefully about his position.

However, although someone came to his house last night to hint that he was sick today, he slept until early in the morning and tried to act according to the situation. However, when he thought of the beating that day, he immediately got up early and came here to serve him. Sure enough,

, when he arrived at the scene, he discovered that although most of the clerks had not arrived, a group of servants had arrived neatly. Fortunately, he was here, otherwise he would have been unlucky!

At this time, he was shocked, and he immediately stood up and bowed and said, "What are your orders, sir?"

"Take the people down and bring back Hu Lizheng from Wanli Township to me!" Zhang Yue casually grabbed the pen and threw the batch of cards down, "Also, his son who dared to steal cannibals and farm cattle also

Take us back together!"

Chen Captou was stabbed by Zhang Yue's sharp gaze, and he didn't care about anything else. He left in a hurry with his few confidants, while other petty officials and servants in the hall were stunned. The farmer who complained

Han was an honest man who risked his life. This was the first time he saw such a vigorous and resolute man. He knelt there blankly, with his hands on the ground and was at a loss. After a long while, he finally shouted.

"Master Qingtian!"

Although he was pretending to be ill, Luo Wei was staying at home, drinking tea and reading, and was leisurely and contented. He used to be just a prison student. After being an official for so many years, the books of sages have long been lost in the corner, so naturally he will not read anything.

Among the four books and five classics, what he was holding was an erotic novel "Qun Fang Hui" that the personal servant had just bought from a store. Although the writing was vulgar, he still read it with gusto, and when it reached the most touching part, he had already put it down.

The tea cup made the person gasp slightly.

"master!"

When he was in the thick of love, he suddenly heard this shouting. Luo Wei suddenly became furious and shouted angrily: "Didn't I tell you that I am sick, sir? Why do I have to come here to report you now!"

The boy was Luo Wei's personal companion. At this time, he pushed the door straight in, closed the door, and then hurried forward: "Master, this is not a minor intrusion, it is actually over there in the court... the court.

Something big happened over there! Didn't the county magistrate just ask someone to ask him for a seal? I was more thoughtful when I sent it over. I just watched it in the hall. Who knew that the county magistrate had all the attendants?

He is very shrewd and handles paperwork very quickly, and is said to be flawless!"

"How is this possible!" Luo Wei stood up immediately, with a face full of disbelief. "This official document is not an article. Even if he is a world-famous talent, he will not be able to handle it for a while. What can a few officials do?

Will master this!"

"Master, that's not all!" Although Luo Wei was far from qualified to be called a master, the boy still shouted loudly like a master, "A mud-legged guy has the courage to come here to beat the drum and complain.

The accuser was the son of Hu Lizheng from Wanli Township, saying that he had stolen the cattle on his land. Hu Lizheng, who was supposed to be outside to listen to the call, went home because of what he had said before, and many Li Zheng also escaped with him. The county magistrate said

In anger, he and his son were arrested!"

"Hu Lizheng's son?"

Luo Wei, who was still a little angry at first, was extremely happy when he heard the name. It was his plan to make Hu Lizheng leave early, but he didn't expect that another thing would happen so coincidentally, so he burst out laughing.

"It is true that Chu'er is Chu'er. When he became an official in the local area, he didn't even get any information about it. He didn't know what an official amulet was! A powerful dragon can't overwhelm local snakes. He probably thought that it was just a trivial matter, so he decided to do this.

You are cruel to use others to establish your authority. Let him do the tossing, and you quickly ride a horse to Qingzhou Mansion. Go to Dusi Yamen to find Mr. Dushuai to report the news. Now there is a good show!"

The personal servant didn't know how many confidential things he had done for Luo Wei, and he nodded understandingly. He turned around and walked out of the house like a gust of wind. He had been following Luo Wei for five or six years, and he had seen him defeat four county magistrates.

Looking at the situation this time, he knew in his heart that the menacing young magistrate was about to fall into the pit of fire.

Zhang Yue, who was judged to have fallen into the fire pit, was furious.

Capt. Chen was so frightened by the previous lesson that he handled the job extremely efficiently. In less than an hour, he used chains to arrest Hu Lizheng's son, and the two officers he brought with him carried Hu Lizheng in.

In the lobby. If you meet others, you will be beaten hard by the water and fire sticks, and the servants will shout in unison. The three souls and six souls will be missing by half, but the father and son are very single. I actually bowed to Zhang Yue

There was no courtesy in handing over the hand, and the younger one also looked towards the roof, as if he didn't know that this was a courtroom, and he was actually more arrogant than at home.

Taking advantage of Capt. Chen's arrest, Zhang Yue had ordered people to record the case in detail, and asked the peasant to be detained. He also sent several secretly subdued officers to search for witnesses and obtain testimonies, and even found the victim who had been eaten.

The cow skeleton of the father and son had countless misdeeds, and he had already figured out their background. Looking at the current situation, he still didn't understand that the father and son did not take him seriously at all. Therefore, seeing the arrogance of the father and son,

He didn't ask any questions, just picked up the gavel and slapped it hard.

"According to my law of the Ming Dynasty, anyone who steals horses, cattle, donkeys, mules, pigs, sheep, chickens, dogs, geese, and ducks will be counted as stolen goods. If someone steals an official's livestock, he will be treated as an ordinary person stealing official property. If someone steals a horse or cow and kills him, he will be killed with a stick.

One hundred years, three years' probation. If Hu Dahai is bold enough to steal cattle and then eat them, he should be punished with one hundred, three years' probation! Let the officers around him mark him, and then carry them out for execution!"

Hu Lizheng and his son Hu Dahai never expected that Zhang Yue would directly convict him without even asking. It was not until the guards came up that the father and son woke up from a dream. Hu Dahai immediately shook off the two guards with all his strength.

Neck bark

He said: "I just ate one of his cows, what's the big deal! I have eaten a lot of other people's cows, sheep, chickens and dogs, who dares to sue me and take me! My uncle is a handsome man from this province, be careful he chops you seven

Taste Guan Zhima’s head!”

Chen Captou was so chilled by Zhang Yue's sinister eyes that he had to roll up his sleeves to take the person, and secretly complained in his heart. This Hu Dahai was one of the most rogue guys in the local area, and he had just taken this person.

, and now we have to send people

It's really not a good thing to catch someone and beat him up. If possible, he would like to hide far away. But last time at the ferry, he tried Peng Shisan's torture methods. He never wanted to try it again. At this time, he could only hold the first

Ignore the thoughts in front of you.

"Wait a minute!" Zhang Yue spoke up when Chen Captou was hesitating, and asked slowly, "Have you really eaten other people's cattle, sheep, chickens and dogs, and the county magistrate in front of you didn't even question you?"

Hu Dahai mistakenly thought that Zhang Yue was afraid, so he immediately raised his head and said with a high air: "Not bad!"

"It seems that I have indeed made a mistake." Zhang Yue immediately changed his words. Seeing that the peasant man who was originally full of expectations now showed a disappointed expression, he paused for a moment and said viciously, "In court,

Since you said that you have eaten other people's cattle, sheep, chickens and dogs before, I will treat you as admitting it! Several crimes should be punished at the same time, and the crime of theft should be added as well. Come on, drag down the ninety stick and execute you in the street outside Zhaobi

!”

This unexpected turn of events immediately shocked everyone. Hu Lizheng, who was stroking his beard and leisurely on the sidelines, was suddenly stunned. He originally thought that the few officers did not dare to take action, but unexpectedly, Chen Captou was stunned and stood in the lobby.

Suddenly two guards came up from the last position. The superiors stepped forward and skillfully twisted their son's arms, and then dragged him down as if it was nothing.

Seeing this scene, he woke up from his momentary trance, pointed at Zhang Yue and cursed: "My brother-in-law is the commander-in-chief, Si Dushuai! You official, let my son go quickly, otherwise you official will...

Don’t even think about it!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he waited for Zhang Yue's answer: "Hu San, who was a good man, left his post without notice, because he despised Shangguan. He roared in the court and insulted the magistrate of the imperial court. He should be punished as a citizen criticizing an official. According to the Ming Dynasty law, the people
