Chapter 48
Unexpectedly, Xiao Mo actually made a move. Not only the common people, but also the country gentry were very surprised that he wanted to beat shopkeeper Su. As for the defendant Wang Ergou, he was even more dumbfounded, but he was a smart man, and quickly knelt down in the lobby.

"My lord, my lord..." Shopkeeper Su struggled, and stretched out his hand to Xiao Mo. It seemed that Shopkeeper Su was also afraid that his chrysanthemum would be lost. In addition, Li Yuan and the others hadn't come out to speak for themselves, so they gave in. Shouted: "My lord, I know I was wrong, please forgive me!"

Hearing shopkeeper Su beg for mercy, the flesh on Li Yuan's face twitched, his face was ugly, this coward, dare not even hold on for a while?If you get beaten today, then when the time comes to negotiate with the Yamen, we will have an excuse to bargain!
There was no other way, looking at Shopkeeper Su who was so frightened and begging for mercy, Li Yuan could only secretly hate himself for finding such a poor thing, and then he had to stand up and bow to Xiao Mo: "Master Xiao!"

Xiao Mo ignored Shopkeeper Su, but Li Yuan stood up, so he couldn't ignore him, after all, he was a decent person in Shen County! "Oh, Li Yuanwai is also here. The redemption officer is now on official business and cannot entertain Yuanwai. How about this, Liang An, Liang An?"

After shouting a few words, Lin Yiye ran out from the back of the West Yarn, Xiao Mo pointed to Li Yuan: "Liang An, this is Li Yuanwai, but he is a nobleman in this county, go and entertain him!"

Lin Yiye nodded, and then said with a smile to Li Yuanwai: "Li Yuanwai, I have been looking forward to it for a long time! Please come later!"

Li Yuanwai ignored Lin Yiye, and of course he did not step into the lobby of the West Yamen, but said to Xiao Mo from a distance: "My lord, Xiaomin came to the county yamen this time to see how the Lord handles this case. After all, it is about our grain merchants, Xiaomin dares to punish the unscrupulous people and compensate shopkeeper Su for the loss!"

Xiao Mo deliberately troubled shopkeeper Su, just to overwhelm the grain merchants in terms of momentum, and suppress their vigor. Obviously, such a trick cannot be hidden from Li Yuan, so when Li Yuan opened his mouth, he brought the topic to In the case, he did not entangle with Xiao Mo on the issue of shopkeeper Su's contempt for the official frame, and Li Yuan's words were square and square, explaining that shopkeeper Su was the victim, and asked Xiao Mo to give an explanation. If you want to beat shopkeeper Su, it will inevitably give the outsiders who came to Xiao Mo's trial a wrong understanding, thinking that Xiao Mo is an unreasonable person, and the plaintiff comes to sue, and you beat the plaintiff first without asking any questions. If there is any grievance dispute in the future, who would dare to come to you?
Li Yuan is really not an easy person to deal with, he has a backer to support him, and he is not afraid of offending the county, even the magistrate Zhou Chang has to give way to Li Yuan, Xiao Mo is of course nothing in Li Yuan's eyes, So when it came to speaking, Li Yuan didn't have the slightest scruples!

Hearing Li Yuan speak, shopkeeper Su's heart settled down again, yes!I am the plaintiff, what am I afraid of?
He broke away from the yamen servant and stood up. Li Yuan could talk to Xiao Mo like that, but shopkeeper Su definitely couldn't. He bowed to Xiao Mo and said, "Your Excellency, this Wang Ergou was originally a rascal in the city. He has nothing to do every day and is lazy , often at the door of our shop, I saw him alone with his old mother, so I often helped him out, who would have thought that this guy didn't want to repay him, but actually demolished my shop door and injured my shop assistant, Everyone has seen this incident, and the adults of the City Supervision Department also captured Wang Ergou on the spot. This matter cannot be denied, and I ask you to make decisions for the common people!"

"Hmm!" Xiao Mo nodded when he heard the words and became thoughtful. From Lin Yiye's mouth, Xiao Mo also knew that this Wang Ergou was arrested on the spot. Xiao Mo didn't know whether Wang Ergou was really often helped by shopkeeper Su.

However, Xiao Mo's current thinking is to fight first, this time, no matter whether Wang Ergou was instigated or not, Xiao Mo has reason to believe that these squires definitely want to use this case to face themselves , Try your own thoughts.

At the banquet the night before yesterday, Xiao Mo left angrily. Li Yuan didn't care much about Xiao Mo. Although the poem was good, it was nothing more than that!But after hearing that Li Ji had left Shen County and asked Xiao Mo to act as an agent in the county, Li Yuan became more cautious.

Regarding Xiao Mo's background, Li Yuan and the others will of course investigate. Xiao Mo was born and raised in Shen County. He became ill at fourteen and was bedridden at home for three years. Li Yuan and the others knew all this news. In ancient times, a scholar Similar to the nerds of later generations, Li Yuan and the others could only find so much.

It's not that Li Yuan and the others couldn't find out, but that Xiao Mo used to be a scholar who stayed at home, a typical bookworm.

Knowing that Xiao Mo didn't have any background, it was much easier to handle. At least Li Yuan didn't have to worry about anything, and he could bargain with Xiao Mo at ease. He was willing to make Xiao Mo embarrassing.

So after the matter of Wang Ergou happened this time, Li Yuan and shopkeeper Su decided to take advantage of this opportunity to first force Xiao Mo to punish Wang Ergou, and then encourage the people to close the warehouse. The answer is, if Xiao Mo tells the truth, then Shen County will definitely be in chaos.

Originally it was indeed Wang Ergou who committed the crime, so it is understandable for Xiao Mo to punish him, but in this period, if Xiao Mo punishes Wang Ergou, the common people will think that Xiao Mo is trying to make an example of others, and then suppress them. Mo's intention is completely opposite.

How could Xiao Mo not know Li Yuan's thoughts?

He stood in the upper hall, slightly raised the corner of his mouth, and then an idea appeared in his mind.

Since Li Yuan wants to use the common people to put pressure on him, why can't he use his own way to deal with him?

 Go ahead, ask for a ticket
