Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 49

Naturally, Li Xiuyuan wouldn't be frightened by the way of Liu county magistrate.

The so-called official authority has no effect in front of him at all. He is not an ordinary citizen, and his legs soften half when he sees an official.

Li Xiuyuan immediately said: "Isn't the county magistrate too quick to bombard people now? And the county magistrate seems to have forgotten one thing."

"Why are you sophistrying?" County magistrate Liu stared at him.

Li Xiuyuan said: "My father was arrested for committing a crime. As a son of man, Wansheng should inquire about the case and find out doubts. If the facts are true, Wansheng should plead guilty willingly. If he is not guilty, then please release my father immediately and return him. The Li family is innocent."

He decided to give courtesy first and then fight, and deal with this county magistrate Liu for a while, to see what the county magistrate Liu's intentions are, and then make a fuss about it.

"Presumptuous, the evidence in Li Dafu's case is conclusive, you are not allowed to investigate if you want." County Magistrate Liu gave another shock.

"The imperial decree stipulates that anyone with a reputation can look into the case of the county government." Li Xiuyuan said.

Magistrate Liu's eyes widened: "What, there is this rule?"

"Ahem, my lord, there is indeed such a regulation. It was made by the Emperor Taizu. It is to prevent false and wrong cases in the county. So let the scholars in the world supervise." The master coughed a few times and said.

Obviously, the master is very clear about the court's laws and regulations.

No wonder Magistrate Liu brought this master by his side.

County magistrate Liu pondered for a while at this time, and then shouted; "Li Dafu's case is extremely serious, the file has been sent to the magistrate, not in the yamen, if you want to investigate the case, go to the magistrate, there is no one here. .”

Li Xiuyuan's face darkened slightly, and his eyes were a little cold.

This is clearly a trick, and the file cannot be sent to the magistrate, because the case has not happened for a few days.

It seems that County Magistrate Liu is planning to play tricks.

"Li Xiuyuan, this case is extremely complicated. Your father used sorcery to obtain other people's money, a total of 40 taels. The judge has already pronounced a sentence, and the evidence is solid. Your Li family is limited to give 40 taels of silver to send it to you within three days. Come to the yamen, otherwise, Li Dafu will be punished one more class, he will be sent to the frontier, and he will never come back."

Suddenly, County Magistrate Liu sipped again, and the lion opened his mouth.

"Magistrate Liu, you really dare to speak up, 40 taels, are you not afraid of dying?"

Li Xiuyuan said coldly: "With a trumped-up charge, the case was not even tried, and my father was arrested directly, and he wanted to blackmail my Li family with 40 taels. County Magistrate Liu, what are you doing?"

"Wow, Li Xiuyuan, how dare you talk to me like this? I suspect that you were also involved in your father's case in public. Captain Xu, I will take someone to search Li's house tomorrow to see if there is anything related to sorcery in Li's house." Things." County magistrate Liu was very angry in the face of Li Xiuyuan's attitude, and immediately stood up and said angrily.

Who does he think he is?
Is it the emperor?
It's just a mere merchant's son, even if he has the fame of Tongsheng, he's not an official.

I am the county lord of Guobei County, who is in charge of Guobei County, taxation, justice, education, and even fears a mere Li family.

As long as I give an order, this Li family can be pinched as much as they want.

Coincidentally, I also took this opportunity to copy the Li family, and took down the Li family's wealth.

Xu Butou's face changed slightly, but he secretly complained in his heart, how could he get involved in the troubled waters of the Li family and the county lord.

This county master is also right. The four generations of the Li family have run Guobei County. If you stomp your feet, Guobei County will be shaken three times. Fortunately, you have been in office for a month, and you found a trumped-up charge and took Li Dafu, and even asking for 40 taels of silver from the Li family, isn't this a clear example of stealing?
The Li family is waiting to agree?

"This county magistrate Liu is a confused official. He doesn't know how deep the Li family's water is, and the young master of the Li family has a strong temper. Now that county magistrate Liu has detained his father again, I'm afraid the conflict will intensify. It's intense." Xu Butou thought to himself.

No matter how good-hearted Li Xiuyuan is at this time, he will inevitably be angry.

"Magistrate Liu, let me ask you, will you let my father go or not?"

"Bold, Li Xiuyuan, I only tolerate you in every possible way because you are a child. You are so arrogant, even I can bear it, and the law of the court can't bear it. Come, come, mess up this arrogant person!" Hit it with a stick." Magistrate Liu shouted.

But even though he said this, none of the yamen servants dared to beat Li Xiuyuan with a stick.

They are all from Guobei County, so they naturally understand the power of the Li family.

If anyone makes a move this time, I'm afraid they won't be able to live in Guobei County in the future.

"I don't want County Magistrate Liu to do anything, I will leave." Li Xiuyuan said coldly; "But let me put down a word here, if my father suffers the slightest grievance and punishment in the cell, my Li family will pay back a hundred times."

All the yamen servants felt a chill in their hearts, and their hands and feet felt cold.

It's rare to see the young master get really angry.

"The bright mirror hangs high? Huh, God is blind, such a person is worthy of being an official, and he should be a dog in his next life." Li Xiuyuan hummed heavily, and strode away.

As he hummed like this, it seemed that there was something in the dark.

The plaque hanging above the county gate was originally extremely bright, but in a blink of an eye, the light dimmed, and several cracks appeared on it.

"Arrogant person, you're angry with me." Magistrate Liu also roared, picked up the gavel and threw it at Li Xiuyuan.

But after the gavel was thrown, it was too crooked, and it directly hit the doorpost next to it.

"Touch~!"

As if shocked by the exclamation wood, the plaque hanging above the hall suddenly fell from the beam, and with a bang, the four characters hanging above the mirror were smashed to pieces, but the wooden plaque was intact.

Everyone was startled, and they all looked at Li Xiuyuan's back in the distance in a dazed manner.

"Sorcery, sorcery, this son of the Li family really knows how to perform sorcery." Magistrate Liu was so ashamed that he even dropped his official hat to the ground in shock.

"However, the son of the Li family is so arrogant and despises me so much. If I don't teach the Li family a lesson, I really think that I, the county magistrate of Guobei County, is not worth it? Black three, where is the black three? Quickly let him come to see the official."

At this time, a yamen servant from outside hurried in, and hurriedly said: "Sir, my lord, Hei San was cut off by a man named Han Meng, and a leg was cut off, and now he is bandaging the wound at Wu Zuo's place, and the blood is bleeding." It's all over the place, and I've passed out by now."

"What?" Magistrate Liu was surprised.

"Then who is Han Meng, who is so bold that he dares to attack the government servants."

A yamen servant said in a low voice: "My lord, then Han Chuang is a bodyguard of the bodyguard bureau of the Li family."

"Okay, the Li family's kid dares to pay someone to kill someone, come and arrest Li Xiuyuan, I will torture him severely." Magistrate Liu said angrily again.

"My lord, Han Meng has already surrendered outside the county gate, and he took all this matter on himself, and even threatened that this matter has nothing to do with others." The yamen servant said.
