I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

In the inner courtyard, the county magistrate Lu Renjia was drinking and having fun with his concubine, when he heard the sound of the drum, his face suddenly darkened.

"Master, since there are people beating the drums, the master should go to the hall first, and the concubine will accompany the master after a while."

"Okay, master, let's go and see which unsightly villain it is."

Not long after, Lu Renjia changed into his official uniform and brought his master to the court.

A group of yamen servants are already ready, and they are standing on both sides with killing sticks in their hands.

"Ascension!"

The master screamed loudly.

"mighty"

A group of government servants responded with a drawn-out voice in unison.

With such battles, ordinary people can be terrified as soon as they go to court.

Therefore, the common people would not easily go to the Yamen to file a complaint unless there was a serious grievance. Most of the time, they would find some famous local gentry to mediate.

"Ok?"

Seeing that Liu Feng and Wu Liang also walked up to the court, Lu Renjia and Master Liu couldn't help being stunned.

The two sides exchanged glances quickly, and immediately understood.

After all, this is not the first time.

"Snapped!"

"Who plays the drums?"

As soon as he sat in the courtroom, Lu Renjia slapped the gavel heavily and shouted.

"Little Boy"

Gu Ming took two steps forward and was about to answer, but Lu Renjia raised his hand and patted the gavel again: "Come on, hit twenty big boards first!"

"Yes!"

The two yamen servants immediately walked towards Gu Ming with a murderous look.

Under normal circumstances, ten boards are played, and twenty boards are obviously targeted.These yamen servants also knew what was going on.

In short, if the twenty boards are beaten, the person who is beaten will lose half his life if not dead.

"Wait a minute!" Gu Minglang yelled: "My lord, the young man is famous, so he doesn't have to be punished according to the law."

"This"

Lu Renjia couldn't help frowning.

This is the most basic common sense, he doesn't need to ask the master.

Seeing this, Wu Liang felt unwilling, and without waiting for questioning, he stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Master Lu, I suspect that this person is pretending to be a scholar, but he is actually a gangster."

"Oh? How do you know that?" Lu Renjia asked with interest.

"He has fought against the villain before, and his skills are very good. How can an ordinary scholar do it? Second, the villain has seen a wanted warrant before, and his appearance is very similar to this person."

If the first point is taken for granted, then the second point is that this guy has recklessly planted and splashed sewage.

"My lord, Mrs. Feng Chen has something to say."

Seeing that her benefactor was so slandered by Wu Liang, Xiao Lian stepped forward desperately, wanting to help defend her.

This time, Lu Renjia caught the opportunity and went mad.

He is not sure whether Gu Ming has fame or not, but Xiao Lian certainly does not

Immediately, he slapped the gavel: "Bold Mrs. Feng Chen, dare to disturb this judge's decision, come here, give me a slap in the face!"

"Yes!"

The two previous yamen servants immediately walked towards Xiaolian.

Unexpectedly, Gu Ming moved two steps sideways to stand in front of Xiao Lian, and sneered at Lu Renjia, "Lord Lu is such a powerful official, and before the trial started, he was both a boss and a slap in the face "

"Bold!" Lu Renjia yelled angrily, his brain became hot, and he ordered desperately: "Take this person down, and he will punish thirty big bosses!"

Master Liu was more sensible, and hurriedly shouted: "Wait a minute!"

Then he said in his ear: "My lord, it is better to check the identity of this person in advance to see if he has fame. If he really wants to have fame, I am afraid that there will be some troubles if he is punished."

"This"

Lu Renjia frowned.

Before he could speak, Master Liu yelled at Gu Ming: "You say you have fame, who can prove it?"

Gu Ming took a few steps forward and took out something from his bosom: "This is a small dish, you can tell if you have any fame or not at a glance."

Hearing this, Lu Renjia couldn't help but change his face.

Even if he was illiterate, he was still a county magistrate, so he naturally knew what a dish meant.

This is an official book similar to an ID card, and it is also a symbol of identity and status.

Ordinary people, including scholars, are not eligible to own discs issued by the court, unless they are elected.

In other words, at least one has to be a talented person to have an official disc.

Now, Lu Renjia finally understood why Gu Ming dared to challenge him.

After all, dignified juren is not something that a county magistrate can handle easily.

Not to mention that there is no evidence now, even if he really committed a crime, he is not eligible for trial and must report to the government office so that higher-level officials can participate in the trial.

It is precisely because of such privileges that there are so many poor scholars dreaming of the day they will pass the exam.

Once won the election, not only will the ancestors be honored, but also the reputation and status will be greatly improved, and they will not be easily bullied.

At the same time, the master was also a little surprised, subconsciously picked up the disc and looked at it.

Suddenly, like a lightning strike, the body froze, and the head was soaked in cold sweat

Chapter 125 Your husband doesn't take medicine for his illness

"I don't know that Gu Xie Yuanda is coming, but the villain has lost his way, and I hope to forgive my sins."

Master Liu's voice trembled, a smile uglier than crying appeared on his face, and he held the dish in both hands and handed it back to Gu Ming respectfully.

It's fine if it's just an ordinary person.

The man in front of him is Xie Yuan hand-picked by the emperor, what a dazzling halo is that?

Could it be that a small county magistrate can afford it?

At the same time, Mr. Liu secretly rejoiced that the county magistrate was prevented from using torture just in time.

If the [-]th board really wants to go down, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Xie Yuan hand-picked by the emperor, you, a little county magistrate, dare to abuse lynching?

I'm afraid that the whole family will be impatient.

"Master, what's the situation?"

Seeing the master's respectful demeanor, Lu Renjia couldn't sit still, he slightly stood up and stammered.

The muscles on Mr. Liu's face trembled, and he whispered in his ear: "My lord, this person is Xie Yuan hand-picked by the Emperor of Jinke Township Examination."

"Boom!"

Lu Renjia was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he fell back to sit on the grand master's chair.

Although Xie Yuan is not an official, it is just a fame.However, having one more hand-picked meaning is quite different.

That is the talent that the emperor valued.

But what did he do?He actually ordered twice in a row to punish Xie Yuan, who was hand-picked by the current emperor.

Fortunately, this board could not be beaten, otherwise

With the same thought, Lu Renjia suddenly felt a strong urge to urinate.

Fortunately, the master stopped it in time, there is still room for maneuver

"My lord, Die has verified it, do you still have doubts about Xiaosheng's identity?"

Seeing Lu Renjia's look of despair, Gu Ming couldn't help reminding him.

"dare not dare"

Lu Renjia came back to his senses, braced himself up, and saluted Gu Ming: "I really didn't know that it was Gu Jieyuan who came here. I hope Gu Jieyuan will not blame you for being disrespectful just now."

Gu Ming smiled lightly: "Those who don't know are not guilty. Now that your lord has verified your identity, can you start the trial?"

"Yes, yes," Lu Renjia subconsciously nodded, and then he was stunned again: "What case is being tried?"

"Xiaosheng wants to sue Liu Feng and Wu Liang for bullying weak girls in the street in broad daylight, and at the same time frame me as a gangster"

Before Gu Ming could finish speaking, Liu Feng and Wu Liang were already so frightened that they collapsed to the ground.

What they rely on is nothing more than family background, now even the county magistrate has to be polite, even courteous, let alone the two of them.

"My lord, misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding"

"Gu Jieyuan, please hold your hand high and let us go"

The two bad young masters who are usually invincible, but now they are like bereaved dogs, kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Especially Wu Liang, who deliberately knocked out the blood on his forehead.

"You rebel"

Mr. Liu was anxious, so he ignored the court, stepped forward and grabbed the killing stick in the hand of a yamen servant, and threw the stick at his son.

Of course, this was intentionally played for Gu Ming.

The court, which was supposed to be fair and strict, turned into a speechless farce.

Seeing the big turnaround in the incident, Xiao Lian finally came to her senses, and took advantage of this rare opportunity to cry out for her grievances.

"I beg my lord to redress the grievances of the people's daughters"

Speaking of which, this happened last year.

Xiaolian's husband-in-law is named Feng Qingshu, he is a scholar, and his family background is not bad, he can be called the family of a little rich.

One day, he was introduced to Wu's firm as accountant.

Unexpectedly, Feng Qingshu discovered a lot of doubts after carefully sorting out the account books. It is suspected that the previous accountant made fake accounts.

When he was about to go to Yuan Wu to report the foreign exchange, Wu Liang took the initiative to find Feng Qingshu and said frankly that he asked the accountant to do this.

This guy has always spent money lavishly, and the money given by the family is not enough, so he thought of a crooked idea, intervening in the business of the company as a young master, getting kickbacks from it, and asking the accountant to cooperate in making false accounts.

Of course, he will also distribute some benefits to the accountant to stop the mouth.

After Feng Qingshan heard Wu Liang's request, he became more careful and agreed on the surface, but secretly reported the matter to Wu Yuanwai.

As a result, needless to say, Wu Yuanwai severely reprimanded his son, and at the same time cut off his source of income.

Therefore, Wu Liang held a grudge, and after discussing secretly with Liu Feng, he bit Feng Qingshu back, saying that he made false accounts to lose money to the firm, and obtained ill-gotten gains from it.

Feng Qingshan naturally refused to accept it, and tried his best to defend, and naively said that Yuanwai Wu could testify.

However, how could Yuanwai Wu throw stones at his own son?

It's fine if you don't testify, but instead, you find a few shop assistants to testify against Feng Qingshu.

In fact, there are too many loopholes in this case, and it cannot stand scrutiny at all.

However, with Master Liu, the second county magistrate, white people can be called black. Feng Qingshu was convicted in court, fined 1000 taels of silver, and returned 1000 taels of silver to the deficit-making firm, a total of 2000 taels.

After the sentence, she was sent to prison, and she was not released until Xiaolian sold her family property and collected enough money.

But when he was released, Feng Qingshu felt as if he had lost his soul. He was dazed, reading behind closed doors all day long, and couldn't speak a word for a day, obviously because he was too deeply stimulated.

Although it was said before that the case was broken by Lu Renjia and Master Liu, Xiao Lian still explained the reason in tears.

During the period, Master Liu wanted to stop drinking several times, but seeing Gu Ming standing aside and listening seriously, he finally endured it.

"My lord, the husband of the people's daughter was wronged, I beg my lord to give justice"
