Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 75

Li Chengqian and his group escorted the bullies from Mujia Village to the gate of the county government. Li Chengqian signaled Wang Quan to come forward and beat the drums.

"Wang Quan beat the drums to appeal for grievances! Let the county magistrate try these bullies."

"Promise!" Wang Quan took the order and stepped forward to beat the drums.

"Let me do it!" Unexpectedly, Zhao Jie took the lead and beat the big drum.

"Boom, boom, boom..." The sound of drums spread outside the yamen, and the servants rushed to the hall to wait for the county magistrate.

On the street outside the county government office, countless melon-eaters were watching, whispering to Li Chengqian and others, and pointing at the kidnapped Mujia village bullies from time to time.

It's like watching monkeys at a circus.

Brother Gou's face turned livid with anger, and his hatred for Li Chengqian became even stronger.

Thinking about how he grew up, where he was humiliated like this, his father is Li Zheng, and he can be regarded as a civil servant in the establishment, and the villagers are usually afraid of him three points.

Brother Gou looked at the yamen in front of him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, a look of ferocity flashed in his eyes, and he thought to himself: You cripple, when you enter the county yamen, I want you to look good.

Brother Gou's father was not an official of the court, but his two uncles were real officials of the court.

The eldest uncle is the county magistrate under the ninth rank, and the younger uncle is the county lieutenant under the ninth rank.

It is precisely because of the two of them in the county that Brother Gou can dominate Mujia Village, and no one dares to do anything to him.

It just so happened that his father Du Li was also in the county office today.

When he entered the yamen, he must let these foreigners walk around and let them know what would happen if he offended Du Gousheng. Brother Gou gave Li Chengqian a vicious look.

Someone had told Du Lizheng and the county magistrate about this matter long ago.

In the back hall of the county government office, the county magistrate who had just sat down to rest, before he had time to catch his breath, heard the sound of drums, and hurriedly put on his black gauze hat and went to the hall.

"Catcher Zhang, what happened outside?" The county magistrate came to the lobby and asked while sitting in the hall.

"Report to the Ming Palace, someone outside wants to sue the bullies for bullying the village." Zhang Butou said.

"Where are people?" the county magistrate asked.

"Stay outside!" Zhang Butou said.

"Ascension to the court! Announce the plaintiff and the defendant to the court." The county magistrate slapped the gavel.

"Mighty..." The two classes of yamen servants shouted loudly.

The yamen servant brought Li Chengqian and others in from the outside.

"Greetings to Mingfu!" Brother Gou and others hurriedly knelt down on the ground, Li Chengqian and others casually cupped their hands at the county magistrate.

"Who is in the hall? Why don't you kneel?" Seeing Li Chengqian and others, the county magistrate didn't kneel down.

"Mingfu, I have a leg problem and it is inconvenient to salute, but I hope you will forgive me." Li Chengqian said.

The county magistrate took a look and confirmed that Li Chengqian's leg was indeed disabled, so he did not pursue the crime of disrespect in court.

"What about you? Could it be that you have a leg problem?" the county magistrate asked.

"Of course not! It's just that we are inconvenient, so please forgive me!" Du He said.

Among them, the lowest grade is also from the sixth grade, which is one grade higher than the county magistrate.

Let them kneel down to the county magistrate, even the fifth-rank county magistrate of Jing County would not dare to make them kneel, let alone the high-ranking prince.

Dare to make the crown prince kneel down for him, that would be a long life for the birthday man to hang himself.

"Pa" The county magistrate was really a little annoyed, and he slammed the gavel on the desk, "What a bunch of troublemakers."

"As the magistrate of a county, it is really negligent of duty for the Ming government to fail to see through such a bully bullying the village in the area under its jurisdiction." Di Renjie said.

"The villain of the Ming family is wronged!" Brother Gou and his party yelled that they were wronged.

"Quiet, quiet..." The county magistrate saw the people like Brother Gou in the hall, and when he shouted quiet, not only did they not calm down, but they barked even more fiercely. He picked up the gavel and slapped it down fiercely.

"Mighty... mighty..." The yamen servant's voice sounded just right.

Only then did they stop complaining, and quietly looked at the county magistrate in the middle of the courtroom.

"You all talk about it one by one. If you have any grievances, the county will decide for you. Which one of you will speak first." The county magistrate put aside Li Chengqian and others, looked at Brother Gou and others and asked.

"Mingfu, this group of people committed crimes in broad daylight, and we caught them on the spot. There is no need for further interrogation. We should convict them as soon as possible." Zhao Jie said.

"You say they committed crimes in broad daylight, do you have evidence or witnesses?" A voice came from outside the courtroom.

Everyone looked back and saw three people walking in from outside the courtroom. Two of them were wearing bi-color official uniforms and black gauze caps. They were all in their 30s.

The other person was wearing a brocade robe, about forty years old.

These three people are Brother Gou's uncles, Cheng Cheng, Wei Cheng, and Lizheng Dusan of Mujia Village.

"Mingfu!" Xiancheng and Hope bowed to salute, while Du Li bowed to the ground.

"Yangxiancheng, Liuxianwei, and Du Lizheng, why did you come together?" the county magistrate asked.

"To tell you the truth, I just heard that a foreigner is going to falsely accuse the good people of Mujia Village in this county as bullies, and I'll come here to see how the other party is turning black and white." County Chancellor Yang said.

"I also ask the Ming government to be discerning. Gouzi has been familiar with Confucian classics since he was a child, and he is knowledgeable and reasonable. The villain urinates and teaches him to distinguish right from wrong."

"Gouzi will definitely not do things like bullying men and women. This foreigner must have falsely accused my son and asked the Ming government to make decisions for Gouzi." Du Lizheng said sadly.

"Du Li is just staying calm. The county will definitely investigate this matter and find out the truth, and give justice to the victim."

"This county will not wrong a good person, let alone condone any bad person." The county magistrate said.

"Xie Mingfu!" Du Li knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Zhao Jie wanted to come forward to argue, what is wrong with black and white, it is Li Zheng's son who is bullying others, and they are just helping each other when they see injustice.

But was stopped by Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian said in a low voice: "Don't act rashly! Let's see how the county magistrate will try it first, and see if they are in the same group, and then make plans."

Zhao Jie nodded in agreement, and Li Chengqian let go of Zhao Jie's hand.

"What Yang Xiancheng said just now is reasonable. Do you have any witnesses or evidence? This county can't just listen to your one-sided words and make rash judgments." The county magistrate said.

"We are witnesses. These people are bullying men and women. We bumped into them and captured them." Zhao Jie said.

"Hehe! It's really a joke. You talk empty teeth. Without evidence and witnesses, you dare to turn black and white in this hall and wrong good people indiscriminately. Moreover, you are the parties and cannot testify for yourself." Yang Xiancheng said contemptuously.

As long as they don't have evidence to prove that their nephew is a bully, and no one comes forward to accuse his nephew Du Gousheng, even if they say it's broken, it won't help.

His nephew will definitely be acquitted in court!

"Hmph! I knew you would make trouble out of it!" Zhao Jie said dissatisfiedly, "I have a confession written by them in their own handwriting. It clearly states what bad things they did."
