The Only Favorite Ugly Husband

Chapter 120 The farce of the county government

When Jiang Zhen left Hexi Village, he was in a bad mood.

Although he has traveled to ancient times, he has never had a strong sense of identity with this world. Now, he feels even more powerless.

On the wharf of Hexi Village, his people were everywhere. Those people looked at him worriedly, but they didn't dare to get close to him who was surrounded by yamen servants, because they were afraid of the government.

It's him, so why not be afraid of the government.

In modern times, although it cannot be 100% fair, at least everyone is equal, but what about here?

This is a place where imperial power is supreme, and the power of the government is very, very large.

The Jiang family is doing well, and their life is not difficult at all. He has not done anything to the Jiang family. Under such circumstances, the Jiang family can actually sue him. This Zheng Yi mentioned The imperial envoy was able to arrest him.

A long time ago, Jiang Zhen actually had some worries, worrying that his life would not be guaranteed in this place.When Zhao Jinge was first found out that he was pregnant, he was also worried about his child's future, and worried that his child might encounter injustice in the future.

And now, he himself has encountered injustice.

Jiang Zhen's face sank like water, he followed the yamen servants onto their boat, and then asked, "Where am I going?"

This Jiang Zhen is just a commoner, not only is he not afraid when he sees them, he even looks like a gentleman?One of those yamen servants was dissatisfied, and he stretched out his hand to push Jiang Zhen: "Be honest with me... ouch!"

His hand was caught by Jiang Zhen.

"What do you want to do?" All the yamen servants around looked at Jiang Zhen warily, but Jiang Zhen looked at Zhou Maohe who was following up at this time: "Master Zhou, you are going to be lynched before you reach the yamen?"

"Nonsense!" Zhou Maohe said angrily. He didn't like being wronged, so he immediately said: "Let go of this person, after the interrogation, let's see what else he can say!"

The yamen servants let go of Jiang Zhen resentfully, but Jiang Zhen ignored them and went straight into a room next to him.

This matter is not big or small.

It's just that Mr. Zhou obviously wanted to make things big. He even involved the county magistrate of Hecheng County when he spoke. This time, he probably meant to target Zheng's family.

I don't know if the Zheng family got him into trouble, or if he became a breakthrough for the Zheng family.

Jiang Zhen heard Mr. Zhou mentioned by Zheng Yi. At that time, Zheng Yi obviously didn't take Mr. Zhou very seriously. He must have made preparations, but he didn't know why Mr. Zhou suddenly appeared before this week. West Village.

Jiang Zhen was puzzled, but he didn't go deep into it. Soon he thought about his current situation, and began to think about what he should do and what he could do.

Then, he realized that he couldn't do anything now.

He actually had the ability to escape from this ship, but he was no longer alone. He had Zhao Jinge, Zhao Mingzhu, and Zhao Liushi, Zhao Fugui...

Once he escapes, what will these people do?

If you can keep it...

Jiang Zhen's fists were tightly clenched, and he couldn't control his emotions. At the same time, he suddenly thought of many people who died unjustly in history.

After returning to Hexi Village from the capital, he wanted to live a good life, open an escort agency to earn some money, have a little power, and then live his peaceful life in Hexi Village...

However, is there really a peaceful life in this world?

It was Zheng Yi's uncle, the second-rank official in the court, who might be dismissed from office if he made a mistake, let alone such a small character as him.

The current him, to others, may be like an ant, who can be crushed to death at will.

He doesn't have the skills to be an official, so the business can grow bigger, but so what?Maybe he will be killed by others as a fattened chicken!

In this world, is such a thing rare?Throughout the ages, are there still fewer people who were killed for no reason?

Not to mention the war.

Perhaps, he can avoid all this, but what about his pearl?

What about his Pearl's children?

If it is in modern times, he can generously say that children and grandchildren have their own blessings, because there, if there is no event with a very small probability, they can always live a safe life, but who can guarantee it here?

Jiang Zhen's heart, which was slowly settled down because of getting married and having a child, suddenly felt like moving.

Closing his eyes, Jiang Zhen slowly calmed himself down.

The people who were taken away by Zhou Maohe from Hexi Village were not only Jiang Zhen, but also old man Jiang and his wife, Jiang Chengcai and Jiang Chengxiang.

As for Zhu Shufen and Huang Min, they stayed at home to take care of their children.

The Jiang family also had a separate cabin to stay in. Looking at everything around, Mrs. Jiang was very surprised.

She touched the furnishings in the room, wishing she could take them away in her arms...

"Mother, don't move around, it will be bad if you break it." Jiang Chengxiang reminded.

"Okay, I won't move." Mrs. Jiang stopped moving, and asked again: "Chengxiang, this time... can we make it?"

"Mother, it will definitely be successful. The imperial envoys are here to help us!" Jiang Chengxiang said, he also saw Da Qilu, Jiang Zhenna definitely broke the law!

"That's good, that's good." Mrs. Jiang smiled.

The Jiang family was extremely proud. At this moment, Zheng Yi was staying in the Zheng residence, but he was full of anxiety.

The Jiang family is fine, Jiang Zhen did not kill the Jiang family, and Jiang Zhen has already joined the Zhao family, so he has never cared about the Jiang family. Now it seems... If I had known this, He should send that family far away!

Brother Zhao Jin had already told Zheng Yi about the previous situation and what he had done, so he asked, "Young Master Zheng, what should we do now?"

"You've done a good job, so let's do it this way..." Zheng Yi and Zhao Jinge discussed it, and just after they had spoken a few words, someone came to report that Zhou Maohe's boat had docked at the pier. He brought many people with him, and he had already headed towards the county government.

"Let's go and have a look." Zheng Yi said, and took Zhao Jinge outside, and they ran into Feng Jingyuan just as they left.

"Young Master Zheng, I heard that something happened?" Feng Jingyuan looked at Zheng Yi worriedly.

Zheng Yi didn't have time to talk to him, so he walked outside quickly with Brother Zhao Jin.

Seeing this, Feng Jingyuan hurriedly followed.

For the people at this time, the imperial envoy was a legendary figure.

Zhou Maohe did not hide his identity this time, and brought many people with him in a mighty way, so his identity was naturally known.

Originally, people didn't dare to get close to Zhou Maohe and his group. Even when they knew that the imperial envoy was coming, they only dared to watch from a distance. In the end, they probably didn't know what Zhou Maohe was here for.

However, Zhou Maohe brought many people with him this time.

In addition to the yamen servants, many scholars who respected Zhou Maohe also came. A great Confucian in the Hexing Mansion who had a good relationship with Zhou Maohe even asked his disciples to come with Zhou Maohe, and sent him The servants in the family borrowed Zhou Mao and more than 20 people.

These scholars thought they were here for a big event, so they were naturally very excited at the moment, wishing that everyone would know what they were here for, and finally, they explained it to the people around them.

So, when Zheng Yi and others arrived, Zhou Mao and his group were surrounded by more and more people, not to mention, everyone was still discussing.

"I heard that the imperial envoy is here to arrest the head of the Jin Zhen Escort Bureau."

"Yes, I heard that Jiang Zhen was disobedient and unfilial, and even beat his parents!"

"The people in the Jin Zhen Escort Bureau are very nice. I didn't expect their head to be such a person."

"Fortunately, I didn't work at the Jin Zhen Escort Agency."

……

Hearing these words, Brother Zhao Jin became more and more anxious, and Zheng Yi frowned.

Jiang Zhen has indeed done many things.

Now that Zhou Maohe has incited the people so much, one can't handle it well...

"This kind of unfilial person should have his head cut off!" An old man said with a beard and a stare.

"I didn't expect Jiang Zhen to be such a person. Fortunately, the imperial envoy is aware of the details."

"It's not just Jiang Zhen, but the county magistrate... I heard that Jiang Zhen's mother wanted to sue, but there was no way to sue, so the county magistrate immediately kicked him out!"

"Isn't this normal? The people in the yamen don't have any good people."

……

Zheng Yi's face darkened.

"Young Master Zheng, this matter can't be dealt with alone, but if Young Master Zheng is to be implicated, Young Master Zheng had better make a quick decision." Feng Jingyuan persuaded beside Zheng Yi.

"Why make a quick decision?" Zheng Yi looked at Feng Jingyuan.

"Of course it's a strong man who cuts his wrists." Feng Jingyuan said, he felt that Zheng Yi should immediately give up on Jiang Zhen at this time, so as not to implicate himself in the matter of Jiang Zhen.

When Feng Jingyuan first spoke, Zhao Jinge didn't understand, but he knew the meaning of "a strong man cuts off his wrist", and he understood Feng Jingyuan's implication after a shock.

Without even thinking about it, Brother Zhao Jin stretched out his fist towards Feng Jingyuan, and then punched Feng Jingyuan on the nose.

Brother Zhao Jin has always had a good temper, but now, Jiang Zhen has been arrested!

He was full of uneasiness, and at this moment, someone actually advised Zheng Yi to cut off his wrist... Brother Zhao Jin didn't give up after punching Feng Jingyuan, and then grabbed Feng Jingyuan's clothes, and threw him to the ground.

Feng Jingyuan's obese body was thrown to the ground like that, but he was not very angry, and sighed: "Brother Zhao Jin, this is really the best way. Don't worry, Young Master Zheng will definitely protect you."

When Feng Jingyuan said this, he secretly glanced at Zheng Yi.He felt that what he came up with was definitely a good idea for Zheng Yi. Without Jiang Zhen, wouldn't Jin Zhen Escort Bureau and Qingfeng Building become Zheng Yi's?

Zheng Yi remained silent with a sullen face, but at this moment, Brother Zhao Jin kicked Feng Jingyuan again.

"Brother Zhao Jin, let's go ahead and have a look." Zheng Yi said to Brother Zhao Jin.

When Zheng Yi said this, it was obvious that he was not willing to give up Jiang Zhen, Feng Jingyuan frowned slightly.

He had offended Jiang Zhen a long time ago, and wanted to take this opportunity to suppress Jiang Zhen, but he failed.

However, at this moment, Jiang Zhen will die even if he does not die.

Feng Jingyuan wiped his nosebleeds, rubbed the place where Brother Zhao Jing kicked him, got up from the ground, and followed him as if he had nothing to do. At this time, a boy from the Zheng family ran from a distance with a happy face: "Young Master Zheng, Young Master Zheng..."

Zhou Maohe came from Fucheng overnight, and it was still early when he took Jiang Zhen away, but after a lot of trouble, it was already past the time for everyone to have lunch.

As soon as he arrived at the county government office in Hecheng County, he ordered people to control all the people in the county government office, and then opened the door of the county government office to publicly interrogate Jiang Zhen.

When Jiang Zhen was brought to the lobby, the gate of the yamen was already full of people.

Song Li was just outside the yamen, constantly publicizing what Jiang Zhen had done. Before, no one listened to him, but now, people nodded their heads.

Most of the people in this county had nothing to do with the Jin Zhen Escort Bureau, so they were naturally very excited at the moment, and just wanted to watch a scene where the imperial envoys interrogated the villains.

"My lord, you have to make the decision for me!" Mrs. Jiang and the others followed Jiang Zhen out and knelt down on the ground. Mrs. Jiang was still howling.

Jiang Zhen was well dressed, but the Jiang family was dressed in tatters, looking very pitiful.

People sympathize with the weak. Seeing this scene, some people had doubts before, but now they also feel that Jiang Zhen is not good. Zhou Maohe even showed sympathy for Jiang's family.

As soon as he patted the gavel, he said to Jiang Zhen, "Jiang Zhen, can you plead guilty?"

Jiang Zhen didn't speak.

Zhou Maohe looked at Jiang Zhen who was indifferent, and got angry, and suddenly realized... Jiang Zhen never knelt down!

He patted the gavel again immediately: "Kneel down!"

Jiang Zhen's face suddenly turned ugly again.

After he crossed over, he never knelt down, not even when he met Zheng Yi's second uncle in the capital, but now, he actually wants to kneel down?

In fact, kneeling is nothing. There is a saying that there is gold under the man's knees. When he is trained like this, he has to do everything, and there are many people who practice guns on their knees. They really don't care at all.

But to kneel Zhou Maohe, he was still a little unhappy.

"Come on, let him kneel down for me!" Zhou Mao said softly.

As soon as Zhou Maohe finished speaking, someone came forward to kick Jiang Zhen's leg.

"Wait!" At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded outside.

Jiang Zhen was very familiar with that voice. He turned his head and saw Brother Zhao Jing.

Zhao Jinge pushed away several people, and now he was standing at the gate of the yamen, looking at Jiang Zhen worriedly.

"Presumptuous!" Zhou Maohe looked at Zhao Jinge dissatisfied.

Zhou Maohe was also very dissatisfied with Zhao Jinge, who was not filial to the two elders of the Jiang family. He would not have let Zhao Jinge go if he hadn't seen Zhao Jinge dressed in tatters as if he had been mistreated by Jiang Zhen.

But now, he was dissatisfied with Brother Zhao Jin again.

"Brother Jin." Jiang Zhen frowned. He didn't want to kneel before, mainly because he was a little nervous, but now...

He can't implicate Brother Zhao Jin.

It doesn't matter if you kneel, as long as there is a memorial tablet in front of you!

Just as Jiang Zhen was about to kneel down, he suddenly heard a sharp voice saying: "Where is Jiang Zhen? The imperial decree has arrived! Jiang Zhen accepts the decree!"

imperial decree?Hearing this, the people present were almost all stunned.

Okay, why did the imperial decree come suddenly?This edict was still for Jiang Zhen?

Zhou Maohe couldn't help frowning, but no matter how dissatisfied he was, he would give way to the imperial decree.

The Jiang family was taken aback. The imperial envoy was already a figure in the legend, and now there is an imperial edict?This decree?Or for Jiang Zhen?

What exactly is going on?How could Jiang Zhen still receive the imperial decree?

Jiang Chengxiang's face turned pale, and he suddenly regretted it.He had already made up his mind not to provoke Jiang Zhen before, so how could he be persuaded to sue Jiang Zhen?

The people outside are also very surprised that the imperial decree has come, what...what is going on?

No matter how confused everyone is, at this moment, everyone must kneel down and listen to the decree.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's edict said... The Jiang family in Hecheng County offered a plan to save people..."

The imperial edict is the most common single-color imperial edict, after all, Jiang Zhen is just a commoner.

There are not many rewards, except for one hundred gold, there is only one plaque that is a bit embarrassing to Jiang Zhen - the benevolence of the doctor.

In the former dynasty, the common people were lucky and might be awarded the lowest title, but in Daqi, those who did not make great contributions to the country could not be given a title. Jiang Zhen naturally could not have this honor.

But the imperial decree also gave him preferential treatment.

"It can be seen that officials don't kneel, so please do so." The middle-aged father-in-law who was holding the imperial edict seemed a little uncomfortable, and almost braced his body to finish reading the imperial edict in his hand. At the end of the reading, his sharp voice became hoarse up.

In Daqi, as long as you have the reputation of a scholar, you can see officials without kneeling. This kind of preferential treatment is actually nothing, but at this time, such an imperial decree...

Zhou Mao and his face turned dark.

When the father-in-law Zhang saw Zhou Maohe, his heart pounded.

Zhou Maohe even dared to participate in the Queen Mother, let alone eunuchs like them, he actually didn't want to treat Zhou Maohe at all.

It's just... Young Master Zheng forced him, so he had no choice but to come.

"Master Zhou, Jiang Zhen offered a cure and saved the lives of many soldiers. All the generals attach great importance to him. Master Zhou..."

"What's going on with Jiang Zhen, I will naturally judge clearly, there is no need for my father-in-law to say more!" Zhou Mao said softly.

Although this decree allowed Jiang Zhen not to kneel in front of officials, but that was all there was to it. He didn't believe that he couldn't let Jiang Zhen subdue the law!

Thinking of this, Zhou Maohe looked at Jiang Zhen with a gloomy expression, and planned to teach Jiang Zhen some lessons before proceeding with the interrogation.

"Where the grandparents and parents are present, but the children and grandchildren do not have household registrations to divide the property, the stick will be one hundred." Zhou Maohe said: "Come here! Drag it down and beat it!"

In the previous dynasty, there was a three-year prison sentence for children and grandchildren who set up separate household registrations to divide property, that is, to hide money from private houses. However, in Daqi, it was changed to one hundred rods.

This charge has always been there, but there are really not many people who have been beaten because of it. The people in Hecheng County didn't even know that there was such a thing before.

This... so it doesn't work?Everyone was full of doubts, but Zhao Jinge was extremely anxious.

"My lord! Jiang Zhen married into my family, so he can't be charged with this crime!" Brother Zhao Jin shouted.

At this moment, the big drum outside the yamen was sounded, and at the same time, He Chunsheng's father came out from nowhere: "My lord, I want to sue, I want to sue! Just sue my son... the hidden one." Private money!"

He's father was stopped by the yamen servants, but the yelling was very loud. Not only that, but soon, several middle-aged or elderly men rushed over and crowded beside He's father: "My lord, my lord, I'm going to file a complaint too!"

"I want to sue!"

"And I!"

……

These people were all introduced to He Chunsheng by He's father, one by one... all of them are gamblers from He Cheng County.

If these people lose money, they can sell their sons and daughters, and now they can get money if they come to the yamen to sue, and they are naturally willing.

They didn't care about their married daughters or twins at all. Some of them had borrowed money and were kicked out, and even hated their daughters.

"My lord, I haven't eaten for several days, and I don't have any money to spend. My daughter won't give me any money... My lord, you have to decide for me!"

"My lord, my son-in-law is very rich, and he doesn't allow his daughter to give it to me! My lord! You have to make the decision for me!"

Father He also shouted: "My lord, after my son gets married, he will ignore me, my lord! I am so miserable!"

Zhou Maohe's face darkened: "Don't mess around!"

These people are obviously here to make trouble. In this world, how can anyone ask a married woman for money to live?

This is definitely what Jiang Zhen found to get rid of the crime!

Zhou Maohe was a little out of breath. At this time, Jiang Ping brought people from Hexi Village.

There were too many people coming, and they crowded out those who watched the excitement.

In fact, some spectators were unwilling to leave, but among the people who couldn't stand Hexi Village, there were escorts from Jin Zhen's Escort Bureau.

It really couldn't be easier for these people to push those people away.

"My lord, we are here to testify against Jiang Zhen. Jiang Zhen did not commit...the crime of unfilial piety!" Jiang Ping said, feeling a little guilty when he spoke.

However, his guilt quickly disappeared.

Although Jiang Zhen did a little too much at the beginning, but to be honest, what Jiang Zhen did was much better than what Jiang Chengcai and Jiang Chengxiang did!

These two people are unfilial. They squeezed out all the money of the old man Jiang and the old lady, and they refused to work. They insisted on letting the two old people do farm work for them.

"My lord, please be careful." The rest of He Xi Village also knelt down.

If Jiang Zhen was relentless towards the Jiang family, they might not come to testify, but in fact, Jiang Zhen did not do anything to the Jiang family. Before the Jiang family wanted to sell Jiang Xiaomei, he even spent money to buy Jiang Xiaomei. Raised at home, I heard that in a few days, Jiang Xiaomei will get married, and Jiang Zhen will give the dowry.

In contrast, they...they didn't treat Jiang's family very well.

The Jiang family even wants to sue their own sons and brothers. This...maybe what will happen to them in the future!

For a while, there was a crowd kneeling at the gate of the county government office, some came to complain, some came to testify, there was a lot of noise and everything.
