Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 78

"Last month, I was reciting poems against Magistrate Yang. Today I can't even get in. What's the point?" Chen Bian was not the one who suffered the loss. He had been holding back his anger for a long time. When this happens, he will have an attack immediately.

But Chen Yuan persuaded: "Second brother, calm down the fire first. It is not appropriate to cause trouble at this time. I will go in and take a look. You guys find a place to sit down. I will find someone to pass the news." He has an official position, so naturally he can enter.

"Thank you, Master Eight." Zaoli looked at Chen Yuan gratefully.

However, Chen Bian gave Zaoli a bitter look, and said: "You are lucky, let's go, go and sit in the tea shop over there first, eighth brother, go quickly, or you will change later."

After the agreement was made, Chen Yuan followed Zaoli in and went straight to the back hall. As he walked, Zaoli whispered: "Eighth Master, you have to be prepared. I heard that the county magistrate has a bit of a prejudice against Chen Zhi. "

"The county magistrate has a prejudice against Chen Zhi? Where does this come from?" Chen Yuan was puzzled. In his impression, Chen Zhi and the county magistrate had no intersection at all.

When he came to the back hall and looked over from behind the screen, he saw Magistrate Yang in the hall asking what happened.

"...This is Chen Zhi. He was dissatisfied with repaying his debt. He took advantage of my unpreparedness and set fire to it, and then fled back. The county magistrate Mingjian, let me make the decision!"

Bai Qing knelt in the hall, bursting into tears. After all, he was a wealthy man from Pengcheng, and he was also sharp-tongued. He spoke out his words and explained things clearly. A group of gambling stall owners nearby also catered to him, saying that this was the case.

According to what he said, they asked someone to collect debt from Chen Zhi during the day, and then agreed to meet at night. Chen Zhi was not angry about paying the debt, so he finally took a bad turn and set fire to the building!
Once this logic was understood, the people outside the door immediately started talking about it.

"The ridiculous young master of the Chen family is so cruel. He set fire to the building and became lawless!"

"Master Bai is also very domineering, and this time he met someone even more domineering."

"Aren't there still government offices here?"

"My relatives are working as handymen in Peng's mansion. They said that several masters in the mansion praised the seventh young master of the Chen family. Why did he do such a thing when he turned around?"

Several servants of the Chen family were mixed in the crowd, and it was difficult to squeeze to the front. They could only raise their ears to listen to the goings on in the hall. At this time, they heard the comments and secretly thought that something was not going well. One person hurried to the tea shop to report.

"How's it going?" Chen Bian and Chen Xun were sitting inside, not in the mood to drink tea. They asked as soon as they saw the servant.

The servant bowed and said: "That guy Bai Qing, said that the seventh young master set fire because he was not angry about paying back the money. It seems that the situation is not good!"

"He farts!" Chen Bian burst out of anger that he had been holding in for a long time. "How can a mere few taels of silver make Xiao Qi angry? Isn't this a joke!" He knew that Chen Zhi had just sent six taels to the mansion not long ago. , these six taels are free to give away, and can you still be annoyed because of a little gambling debt?And set fire?

"With Xiao Qi's handwriting, I can write more than this in just a few random paintings." Chen Xun also shook his head and said, "Second brother, that white tiger is spitting blood, but this person has a lot of tricks. Xiao Qi is young after all. , don’t be fooled by him.”

Chen Bian frowned, called a servant, and ordered: "Go to the back door of the yamen and call a few times, and tell the eighth brother to let him give Xiaoqi a breath, and tell him to calm down and stop talking nonsense!"

Chen Xun nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, you can't say too much. If you say too much, you will make more mistakes. It is easy for others to catch loopholes. Stabilize the situation first and let the eighth brother clear the inside."

At this time, someone in the crowd shouted: "Rogue Asan is coming up!"

"Hurry up, go check again!" Chen Bian told the servant who reported the letter to go back.

In the courtroom, County Magistrate Yang Yong looked at Chen Asan who was unable to stand, and couldn't help frowning. He had heard rumors about this man and knew that he was not a decent person, so he resisted, so he asked coldly: "You Is it Chen Asan? Tell me, what do you know?"

"Respect the county master's order!" Chen Asan laughed playfully, glanced at Chen Zhi, and smiled sadly, "This Chen Zhi is really nothing. When he went to see the masters, he was extremely arrogant and even threatened me. , what he said was so unpleasant, and then he wrote something that insulted all the gentlemen, oh, that scene..."

Snapped!
Yang Yong became impatient after hearing this. He was stunned and shouted: "I asked you to talk about the scene of arson. Who asked you to talk about these things?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Chen Asan was startled, pointed at Chen Zhi, and said fiercely, "It's him who insulted all the gentlemen. Mr. Bai tried to persuade you so nicely, but Chen Zhi not only didn't appreciate it, he wanted to leave immediately." , we didn’t think too much, but who would have thought that this traitor would turn around and set fire to a building, and then he ran away with the book boy, how crazy! And..."

He was still waiting to speak, but Magistrate Yang couldn't listen anymore. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, please step aside first."

Chen Asan learned his lesson and immediately retreated to the side. When passing Bai Qing, the two exchanged glances.

"Chen Zhi," Yang Yong called Chen Zhi's name, "Do you have anything to say?"

He was indeed dissatisfied with Chen Zhi. Wang Mi's spying might affect Yang Yong's promotion. It was related to his official career, so how could he give him a good face?It happened that Chen Zhi was in the hall, under his jurisdiction, and the dissatisfaction in his heart fermented, so Yang Yong couldn't help but say one more sentence: "Don't think that if you have a bad name and the backing of a family, you have nothing to fear. Since I am a county magistrate, Naturally, we will enforce the law impartially, and we will treat them equally regardless of whether they are ordinary people or children of aristocratic families!"

As soon as he said this, Chen Yuan in the back hall immediately thought something was wrong.

"Listening to this, you really have a prejudice against Chen Zhi!"

As a member of an aristocratic family, how could he not know the tricks inside? How could there be any impartiality in past cases involving aristocratic families?

"Magistrate Yang clearly wanted to beat Chen Zhi, but he was afraid that Bai Qing would hit the snake with a stick, so he seized the opportunity to make trouble!"

Chen Yuan's anxious look was noticed by someone. The person hesitated for a moment and then came over.

"Fu Ru, you are probably wondering why the county magistrate is biased against Chen Zhixin?" The person who came over was clearly Liu Yang.

Nowadays, the atmosphere between the Chen and Liu families is delicate, but Liu Yang and Chen Yuan are colleagues, and they immediately have a superior-subordinate relationship. They can't avoid seeing each other, so Liu Yang decided to ease the relationship a little.Seeing him speaking out, Chen Yuan's expression changed slightly.

"I've been doing some research in the past two days," Liu Yang took the initiative to speak as soon as he came over. "I heard that the county magistrate asked his family to arrange connections and planned to move up. However, Xu Fang's incident happened and he had to turn around to calm down the influence. , it may affect his evaluation this year."

"So that's it!" Chen Yuan understood immediately and became even more worried, "It's not surprising to vent his anger on Chen Zhi when it comes to his career, but wouldn't it be more dangerous? How to break this situation? Alas!"

Sure enough, when Bai Qing, Chen Asan and others heard what Yang Yong said, their faces were all happy. Although they didn't know why the county magistrate expressed such a stance, they also knew that the opportunity was coming.

Bai Qing breathed a long sigh of relief and felt reassured. Of course he was uneasy about framing a member of the family this time. Even if he felt that he had Xu Fang's incident as a trump card, it was still like walking a tightrope. Only then did he really feel confident.

"Even the county magistrate said so, let's see what you can do!" Chen Asan looked at Chen Zhi coldly, but was startled when he saw that the latter's expression was as usual.

Then, Chen Zhi looked solemn, saluted solemnly, and said: "Reporting to the county magistrate, everything Bai Qing and others said is a false accusation. I hope the county magistrate will take notice."

Every sentence is a false accusation!

After saying this, there was a sudden silence in the courtroom, and then Bai Qing was about to speak, but Chen Asan was faster than him, jumped up, pointed at Chen Zhi's nose, and was about to curse.

"Quiet!" Yang Yong patted the court to maintain discipline, and then looked at Chen Zhi, "Chen Zhi, don't talk nonsense in the court. Bai Qing and others have already narrated what happened. If you have a different opinion, you can also say it. Once again, I will not listen to one side or believe anything, but it is up to me to decide how to convict someone in the end!" The more he said this, the more serious he became, and it already sounded like a reprimand.

Chen Zhi held up his hand as a courtesy and replied: "County Magistrate, I am not just talking nonsense. In fact, Bai Qing and others just told the case and presented the evidence of the crime."

"Oh?" Yang Yong was taken aback for a moment, then calmed down his tone, "In that case, I will give you time to defend yourself."

"The process I'm going to talk about is no different from these two people," Chen Zhi shook his head. Just as Yang Yong frowned, everyone inside and outside the hall thought that this ridiculous man was playing tricks on others without knowing the importance of it. Chen Zhi continued, "Can I ask them a few questions?"

Yang Yong narrowed his eyes and finally nodded: "Okay, you can ask. I also want to hear what you want to say."

Chen Zhi thanked him and turned to Bai Qing and Chen Asan. The latter two looked at him without fear. In their eyes, he had already grasped the overall situation.

Bai Qing smiled slightly and said, "Chen Zhi, do you have anything else to ask? We have made it very clear that young people must know how to advance and retreat."

Chen Asan sneered: "I saw you were so arrogant before, why don't you write now? Why don't you get so damn arrogant again! Look at what you said, the poem you insulted all the gentlemen is still in the Yamen. , let me see how you can quibble!"

"Shut up!" County Magistrate Yang couldn't listen anymore, and shouted, Chen Ahsan quickly shrank his neck, but he didn't see the sudden change in Master Bai's expression behind him.

When Bai Qing narrated the case earlier, he deliberately didn't mention this word, and he also warned him before going to court, because he was worried that it would be made public.

Chen Zhi was also stunned when he heard this.

That painting hasn't been burned yet?This is really strange.

Then, he looked at Chen Asan strangely and asked, "You said that I took the bookboy there and acted arrogantly in Qingyuan Village and insulted everyone, right?"

"Of course," Chen Asan glanced at Bai Qing and took courage, "This is what we saw with our own eyes."

Chen Zhi smiled and said: "Then, I wrote an insulting poem in front of you. Since the poem is still there, I might as well take it out and show it to you to see if the words written on it are insulting!"

"Take it, Master Bai..." Chen Asan turned around and saw that Bai Qing's face was very ugly. Thinking of the scene last night and Bai Qing's instructions before the class started, try not to mention that word. I was so excited that I didn't keep my mouth shut.

At this memory, he quickly shut his mouth.

That poem directly slapped Bai Qing and others in the face. If they had not been helpless, they would not have discussed it in court. Did Chen Asan say this to help spread the word?
This is a court, and the people are outside the door. Once it is announced, what will happen?Bai Qing didn't dare to think about it!Not only him, but other stall owners also looked panicked at this time.

But as soon as Chen Asan shut up, others couldn't help but murmur, is there really something fishy in it?
Especially the people outside the courtroom became even more interested.

"What kind of poem is that? Take it out and look at it."

"Yes, isn't it about incriminating evidence? Let's also listen to what is written."

"Let's go over to see the case. The magistrate has checked everything, so we should take a look today."

How could the common people not be interested in a poem that insulted the owner of a gambling house? When the noise came into the court, Bai Qing turned a little pale, and Chen Asan shrank his neck.

"quiet!"

Yang Yong maintained his discipline again. Looking at the expressions of Bai Qing and Chen Asan, he became a little suspicious. He had not read the poem yet. He pondered for a moment and then ordered: "Bring the poem and show it to the court." test."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qing's body swayed on the spot, while all the stall owners looked helpless and panicked, and one of them even threw his head up and fell down.
