Southern Song Dynasty small landlord

Chapter 278 Evidence
Early the next morning, Qin Shou took Sun Si into the county seat, and when he arrived at the county seat, Qin Shou went straight to the county government office, took Sun Sijin and told him to beat the grievance drum in front of the yamen gate, and watched happily with his arms folded.

Sun Sijin really wanted to stop beating, but he couldn't control himself. Niu Ben grabbed Sun Sijin's hand and beat the big drum loudly for him. Lively people.

After beating a few times, Niu Ben threw his hands away, and Sun Sijin fell to the ground, his broken leg was oppressed, and he screamed again in pain.

Soon the yamen servants rushed out and stood still in front of the lobby. The county magistrate Wang was dressed in official uniform, took eight steps, squinted, walked into the lobby with three swaying steps, came to sit in front of the case, patted the gavel, and He shouted, "Who plays the drums?"

"Report, my lord, outside there is a person who claims to be the head of Qingshan Village, Sun Sijin, beating drums to express his grievances."

Ok?County magistrate Wang narrowed his eyes and looked out of the hall. Just in time to meet Qin Shou's eyes, a bad feeling rose in his heart, and he said loudly, "Bring it up!"

"Yes!" The yamen servants on both sides agreed, turned around and walked out of the hall, and dragged Sun Sijin in. Seeing Sun Sijin again, it was a miserable situation. His leg was broken by Qin Shou yesterday and he still hasn't been healed. The board was dragged to the lobby. This time, the legs hurt and the butt hurt too. There were not many places in the whole body that didn't hurt.

Sun Sijin screamed in pain when he was thrown to the ground, and he was still screaming that he was wronged. After the yamen servant threw him heavily on the ground, he turned around and returned to his seat. Sun Sijin grinned and cried, "Master Qingtian, I am wronged!"

County magistrate Wang patted the gavel, and asked loudly, "Who is in the hall, and what is the grievance?"

"Back to the words of the elder," Sun Sijin knelt in front of the hall with his injured leg enduring great pain, and replied loudly: "Student Sun Sijin is the village head of Qingshan Village. Today he sued Qin Shou, a fellow villager, for ignoring the king's law. , privately set up execution grounds, wronged the students and set fire to the mountain, please preside over justice for me.”

When County Magistrate Wang heard this, he was furious and slapped the gavel, "Where is Qin Shou?"

When the people watching outside listened to the county master's question, they suddenly burst into joy. They looked left and right, looking for animals.

Qin Shou stood there, gritted his molars, stepped forward into the hall, stood upright without kneeling, stared at the magistrate Wang with piercing eyes, and said loudly: "Master Wang, Xiaomin Qin Shou, sue Qingshan Village The village head thought viciously about me, and first entered my courtyard at night to steal."

"After being caught, he was locked up in the ancestral hall and woke up. I didn't want this person to forget about the past. It had not been two days since he was released from the ancestral hall. He entered the manor that Xiaomin was building at night and was about to set fire to it. Xiaomin caught him right away. This happened at the time The villagers who work on the green hills can testify, and I ask Lord Wang to uphold justice for me and severely punish the wicked."

Qin Shou's voice was very loud, especially when he mentioned Sun Sijin's crimes, it was louder and clearer to the ears of the crowd watching outside. When they heard about this kind of thing, they immediately pointed at Sun Sijin.

I didn't expect that this noseless man would behave like this, not only stealing, but also setting fire. He is too vicious to be forgiven lightly.

Niu Ben and the others fanned the flames appropriately outside, quietly spreading the bad news about Sun Sijin outside, and at the same time secretly pointed out that this person used dirty means to bribe him to become the village chief, which made the people even more disgusted with Sun Sijin.

How can a man with a crippled appearance be an official?There is a clear order in the officialdom, if Sun Sijin is really the village chief, then he must have used shady means, the people hate corrupt officials, and even more hate those who give bribes, they immediately stand on the same front as Qin Shou.

In the eyes of the common people, Qin Shou was the victim, and everyone shouted for the magistrate Wang to uphold justice.

County Magistrate Wang squinted his eyes, unable to see what he was thinking. His eyes occasionally shifted from Sun Sijin to Qin Shou, thinking about possible solutions.

Sun Sijin saw that the backer above did not speak, and immediately became anxious, and said loudly: "My lord, I was wronged. You also found out the matter of being closed in the ancestral hall last time. It was Qin Shou who wronged me, and it was you who wronged me." You sent someone to release me from the ancestral hall, have you forgotten?"

Qin Shou was amused when he heard it, and asked loudly: "My lord, I remember that I didn't report it to the officials at that time. This matter was punished by the elders of the village. Our Qingshan Village is located in a remote place. How could this matter reach the ears of your lord? Is there something we don't know about?"

"Ah, it can't be that someone bribed you? Oh, Sun Sijin, you are too condescending. Say, who do you bribe, I believe that the county magistrate Wang is fair, and he will definitely not be sold by you. Come on, you Which servant did you buy?"

Sun Sijin was taken aback by Qin Shou's reaction, he raised his head suddenly, shook his head and said, "My lord, I have been wronged, I did not pay bribes, Qin Shou is wronging me."

County magistrate Wang looked at Qin Shou, slapped the gavel, and shouted loudly: "Quiet, quiet, Qin Shou, do you have evidence?"

County Magistrate Wang really wanted to ask Qin Shou why he didn't kneel, but thought of the evidence in Qin Shou's hand, he still endured it. He didn't want to tear Qin Shou here.

"Returning to your lord, Xiaomin has evidence that Sun Sijin's position as the village chief was obtained by bribery. He has bribed the county magistrate several times, and the amount of money he spent was no less than 500 taels." Qin Shou cupped his hands and said, taking it out of his sleeve He took out a stack of paper and presented it.

County magistrate Wang was taken aback when he heard that, when did the village chief become so valuable?A small village head is even able to bribe 500 taels. It seems that the people here are quite rich.

After receiving the evidence from Qin Shou, County Magistrate Wang became more and more angry. He never thought that his deputy, Lu Feng, would be so greedy. Could make a fortune out of him.

I have to say that County Magistrate Wang is really a corrupt official, and he always wants to draw money into his arms under any circumstances. Poor Lu Feng is missed by County Magistrate Wang.

County magistrate Wang slapped the gavel and asked loudly, "Sun Sijin, are you convicted?"

Sun Sijin was dumbfounded when he heard that, he came here to seek protection, not to plead guilty, how could the county master turn his face and deny anyone?I was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by him.Sun Sijin, who quickly reacted, repeatedly complained about being wronged, and naturally refused to plead guilty.

County Magistrate Wang turned to Qin Shou and said, "Qin Shou. Sun Sijin said he was wronged. I don't think your evidence is enough to believe it?"

"Really?" Qin Shou stepped forward, tilted his head slightly forward, and said in a low voice, "Magistrate Wang, I know what you are thinking, but let me tell you, I have arranged several groups of people to guard Yue Fei separately. , Han Shizhong and other adults, as long as something happens to me, the secret of your collusion with the Jinren will be presented to them."

County magistrate Wang shrank his pupils, swayed his body slightly, and quickly stabilized his figure. His eyes were fixed on Qin Shou, but Qin Shou raised his eyebrows with a smile, and said loudly, "Master Wang, I have evidence to prove that He wants to set fire to the mountain, and please take a look at it.”

Speaking of which, Qin Shou presented the Huozhe that had been crushed by him, and stepped aside with a smile.

County magistrate Wang took the fire note, his eyes flickering.
