Hope for luck

Chapter 54
Du Xiangjun, who was standing on the side of the county government office, felt a little uneasy in his heart at the moment. Although he looked very calm and stable on the surface, in fact, he already had a feeling of panic in his heart.

Because, so far, he hasn't even seen Zhou Zhengxin, and the entire county government seems to be following Gao Pan's instructions!

What made Du Xiangjun even more alarmed was the news that Butler Du told him yesterday.

The autumn grain collected by the imperial court has 'returned' to the county government warehouse at this moment, or in other words, has never left the county government warehouse!
Everything is just a cover-up set up by Zhou Zhengxin.

But Du Xiangjun originally thought that the autumn grain had already been bought by a big buyer from the south, and Gao Pan would come to take the blame, and he would be noticed by the court no matter what, and then he would be dismissed from office and become a pitiful person.

But Du Xiangjun never thought about it, Zhou Zhengxin was so greedy, he wanted to take the imperial court's taxes for himself!

Moreover, even he was deceived, so what he didn't expect was that Gao Pan could easily suppress Zhou Zhengxin, leaving Zhou Zhengxin without the slightest resistance.

Qiuliang 'returned' to the warehouse again, so Gao Pan's charges of being charged would naturally be gone, and it is still unclear whether Gao Pan will really be able to sit firmly as the county magistrate after that.

If it weren't for the early morning, many gentry officials would come to the county government to question Gao Pan, maybe Du Xiangjun would like to wait and see.

Seeing that many gentry officials were aggressive and had everything to say, Du Xiangjun also mobilized his emotions even more.

In addition to many country gentlemen, they were still fighting for Du Xiangming, saying that he had to be brought out.

The main purpose, of course, is to force Gao Pan to bow his head to them, admitting that their actions did not violate the court regulations!
But as soon as he came to the county government, he heard the news that Yu Zongqi had been killed by Gao Pan, and the momentum of many gentry officials weakened a little in an instant.

From then on, Du Xiangjun realized something in an instant, thinking that this trip to the county government to question him would definitely return in vain!
Until Gao Pan came out, Du Xiangjun had been carefully observing Gao Pan's expression.

Even in the face of these squires who were disrespectful and accusing, Gao Pan kept smiling from the beginning to the end, and Gao Pan didn't respond until everyone finished speaking.

But at this time, Du Xiangjun felt even more uneasy in his heart. Sure enough, as he expected, Gao Pan did not face the doubts of the crowd, but brought them to the court instead.

This made Du Xiangjun understand even more, Gao Pan is not a young man with deep experience in the world, he is simply an "old fritter" in officialdom with an "old treacherous and cunning"!
Before the trial started, Du Xiangming probably guessed in his heart that what Gao Pan wanted to achieve next was to make them, the gentry outsiders, shut up, and even have to bow their heads!

Thinking of this, Du Xiangjun began to re-examine the young man sitting at the head of the court.

From Dantang being beaten half to death, to Zhou Zhengxin who had been the magistrate of Douying county government for several years, to the execution of Yu Zongqi who was regarded as a 'not stingy' in everyone's eyes.

Gao Pan will not be the ones Gao Pan will deal with next, will they be the gentry outsiders?

After understanding this, Du Xiangjun just wanted to leave here, to hide, hide behind the scenes, maybe resist Gao Pan's targeting!
……

And just as Du Xiangjun guessed, once Gao Pan was promoted to the court, many sufferers came to the court, all of whom were suing one person, Du Xiangming, the third master of Du's mansion!
The sufferers were all because they owed money to the Du family, and were either forced to ruin their families, or were forced to become prostitutes, or were forced to become slaves of the Du family for generations!

When Du Xiangjun heard these miserable people tell his tragic truth, he already knew that Du Xiangming could not be rescued!
Thinking of this, Du Xiangjun's face turned pale.

His original idea was just to make Du Xiangming suffer a little in the county government office, and teach Gao Pan how to behave by the way.

But why didn't he expect that Gao Pan had already figured out the whole story of Du Xiangming's bad business by secreting Chen Cang!

From Du Xiangjun's point of view, without Gao Pan's support behind these crying sufferers, how dare they come to the county government to complain?

What made Du Xiangjun even more vigilant was that the Du family had already done so many evil things, and it only took two or three days for Gao Pan to find so many sufferers!
"Take the prisoner Du Xiangming!"

After Gao Pan heard the words of the many complainers, he ordered in a deep voice to bring Du Xiangming up.

After a while, Du Xiangming, who had been in the prison of the county government for three or four days, was detained by the government officials and came to the court.

But in the eyes of Du Xiangjun and others, how can Du Xiangming look like the third master of the Du family at this moment?
Looking at his messy clothes and unkempt appearance, if you don't distinguish carefully, how can you recognize it as the third master of the Du family!
"Hey, this is Mr. Du, why did he become like this..."

"Hahaha, it's really satisfying. I didn't expect Du Xiangming, who has done all kinds of evil things, to have this day!"

"Okay, heaven has eyes, it's better to sentence him to death, and arrest all the members of the Du family..."

"..."

The onlookers naturally recognized Du Xiangming, and pointed at Du Xiangming one after another, most of them were indignant.

"Dog thing... Let me go, Third Master, otherwise, the Du family will definitely let you go around..."

At this moment, Du Xiangming suddenly seemed to have gone crazy, yelling loudly at Gao Pan above him.

Think about him, Mr. Du, since he was born, when has he suffered so much, how can he not let him hate Gao Pan who imprisoned him!

"How dare you yell at the court, and speak disrespectfully. If you come, you will be punished twenty times!"

Gao Pan looked at Du Xiangming with a serious face and said, the Zaoban clerk at the side heard this and immediately carried out Gao Pan's order.

Pulling Du Xiangming to the outside of the courtroom, he hit the board heavily and came. In an instant, Du Xiangming's screams like killing a pig spread throughout the hall, making people look sideways!
When many people saw this, they clapped their hands and cheered, and even shouted loudly, let the servants use more force and beat them hard, which is enough to show how unpopular the Du family is in Dantang County!

Seeing this, many gentry officials looked at each other in blank dismay, looking at me, I looked at you, for a while I didn't know whether I should stop it or not!

In the end, the eyes of all the squires fell on Du Xiangming's elder brother Du Xiangjun.

But at this moment, Du Xiangjun was like a statue, motionless. If he hadn't been gnashing his teeth, everyone would have thought that he was really indifferent!

"Master Du..."

A squire couldn't help calling out, but Du Xiangjun gave him an instant sideways glance, which made the squire dare not say another word.

Seeing that Du Xiangjun, who is Du Xiangming's elder brother, dare not speak out to stop him, outsiders like them have nothing to say!
But listening to Du Xiangming's painful cries resounding through the sky, many country gentlemen felt quite uncomfortable in their hearts.

Although it was Du Xiangming who was hit by the board, all the squires felt empathy, as if the board had been hit on themselves, and they complained and despised Gao Pan even more.
