There's A Beauty

Several sufferers narrated how Li Ni forced her daughter to death, and Youshu stamped the official seal on the petition, convicting her of persecuting her life.Unexpectedly, Li Ni was very violent. After the initial panic, she pointed to Youshu's nose and asked, "Just based on a few complaints and a few one-sided words, the county magistrate sentenced my brother and sister to death. My brother and sister refused to accept it. If you need to hire a lawyer to go to the state government to file a lawsuit, if the state government fails to file a lawsuit, you will go to Beijing to file an imperial lawsuit, and I will never end with you in this life!"

Youshu treats everything with extreme rigor and seriousness, and will never draw conclusions easily without repeated verification.He looked at the crowd that had already surrounded the yamen, and said, "She wants evidence, and I will give her evidence. There must be many people with conscience among you, can you stand up and be a circumstantial evidence for these neighbors. Today's world is chaotic, people's hearts are not ancient, life is difficult, and everyone needs to work together and help each other, so that there is such a glimmer of hope."

Seeing his sincerity, everyone gradually stepped forward to testify against the Li brothers and sisters.Because the Li family relied on the support of the magistrate of the county, they acted unscrupulously, and there were as many handles in everyone's hands, and they could tell seven or eight things with their mouths.Moreover, most of the people who were taken away yesterday were villagers from Lijia Village, so those who came to watch today were also relatives from all walks of life, so there is no reason not to help.Everyone added testimonies sentence by sentence, and Youshu recorded them one by one. In just half an hour, he recorded a thick stack of confessions, indicating who said what, what age, and where they came from.

Youshu distributed the adverbs one by one, and asked literate readers to look at them, and if there were no mistakes or omissions, they would put their fingerprints on them.Even though the common people didn't notice anything unusual, the scholars who came to watch were shocked.The magistrate of the county has only one head and one pair of hands, but there are seventeen or eighteen mouths speaking at the same time. Not only can he record it instantly, but he can also write it word for word. What kind of skill is this?He alone is enough to be worth seventeen or eight clerks writing at the same time!

What is so common and common to Youshu is so shocking in the eyes of others. Scholars in Suichang County who used to slander and abuse him in private all changed their tone from this day on, and turned into admiration and reverence.Of course, You Shu never cared about the eyes of others, and just did her own thing well.He threw a thick stack of confessions in front of Li Ni, and asked quietly, "Is this enough evidence?"

Li Ni looked up at him, eyes full of fear.This person in the hall is not the Zhao Youshu in her impression at all. When he stared at the person, there was no trace of emotion in his eyes, as if you were just a dispensable object, and whether this object was necessary or not was entirely up to him. between.

She was frightened now, and went forward to hug Shu's legs, but was pressed to the ground with sticks by the servants on both sides, unable to struggle.

Youshu threw two punishment sticks, first beat the brother and sister [-] times each, then confiscated their family property, and then announced their withdrawal from court.Everyone had a lot of aftertaste on the talent trial, discussing endlessly as they walked.Since the young county magistrate came to Suichang, it had been a long time since such a happy case had occurred. Of course, they were also worried that this was just a temporary madness of the county magistrate, and he might go out of his way in a few days.

"Probably not. Just now I heard that the county magistrate has brought troops to copy Li Ergou's house. This house has been copied, so you can't go back on your word?"

"Could it be that he fell in love with another girl and tried to get rid of that poisonous woman Li Ni?"

"Hey, why do you care so much about him? Anyway, the wicked will be punished by the wicked! Let's go and visit Lijia Village."

"Yes, I have never seen what it is like to raid a house!"

The crowd that had just dispersed slowly gathered again, and walked towards Lijia Village in a mighty manner, while the people of Lijia Village followed behind the county magistrate, quite excited.Youshu has always done business neatly. As soon as she went there, she smashed the gate of Li's house, took care of all the servants, and then began to search things, piled up gold, silver, jewelry, grain and cloth, account books and other things at the door, and let the villagers watch .

The sun is a little big outside, making people dizzy.Youshu ordered someone to bring a set of tables and chairs, and put them under the shade of a tree to enjoy the coolness, and waited until the Li family could no longer find a grain of rice before spreading out the account books and looking through them quickly.

"Li Ergou is domineering and doing a lot of evil in the village, all relying on the power of my official, so I am also responsible for negligence, and here I am apologizing to all the villagers." Speaking of this, Youshu stood up and looked at the villagers Bow down and apologize.

If those officials are good at buying people's hearts, they will definitely take action, or take off their hats and cut their hair, or punish themselves with salaries.But Youshu was too sincere, and his thoughts were relatively simple. He thought to himself that although I didn't suffer from the one hundred boards, all the pain after the resurrection was endured one by one.

He didn't show any tricks because he wanted to do more practical things, but the villagers obviously couldn't understand it. Although they didn't dare to say it, they suddenly realized in their hearts: it turned out that the reason why the county magistrate brought down Li Ergou was because of his wealth. .It is said that "the magistrate who destroys the family, the governor who destroys the family", this is indeed true.Greedy enough to find a high-sounding reason to kill people first, and then confiscate the family property logically. The county magistrate's methods have improved again, and everyone's life will be even more difficult.

The villagers were silent, and then showed a sad look, and the people who followed the show also felt something, and their eyes were red.They suppressed endless despair in their hearts, and even more anger that was difficult to vent, but there was no way to deal with it except patience.In this world, to live one more day is to accumulate a little more pain, until the pain is too painful to live, and the blood runs out to death.

Youshu was extremely sensitive to the surrounding environment. He straightened his waist and forced his eyes to look up at the sky.When everyone could only see the bright sunshine, what he saw was dark clouds and turbulent currents, and occasionally a few thin dragon shadows hovering and crisscrossing in the air.

That black cloud is public grievances, and Longying is a disaster that lives on the basis of public grievances.Once they have absorbed the grievances of the people, they can turn the world upside down, which is why large-scale natural disasters often break out when the people of the world are in dire straits.Youshu has only read similar descriptions in books, but she doesn't know that the real scene is countless times more depressing than that.There is no light in the sky, and there is only suffering on the ground. The rain and dew that fell turned into floods, and the transpiration heat turned into drought. Soon, what kind of purgatory will this Dayong Kingdom be?

How can he dispel the heavy cloud and make the universe reappear by himself?But doing nothing is obviously even less feasible, but doing the best you can.Thinking of this, Youshu rubbed her dry eyes, looked at the surrounding villagers again, and said slowly, "Starting today, all the profit money that Li Ergou put down will be void. This is your IOU, take it back each of you."

He started calling people one by one, but the surprise came too fast, and the villagers hadn't responded yet. After calling two or three times, one person staggered out and took the IOU with trembling hands.He originally had a house and a field in his family, and lived a very prosperous life, but because he offended Li Ergou, he was blackmailed by the other party.Li Ergou set up all kinds of traps to ruin his family, and forced him to write this IOU that he would never be able to repay in his life.A few days ago, because he failed to repay the interest in time, Li Ergou said that he would take his eight-year-old daughter to pay for it. The family was trying to figure out whether he had hanged himself, and it was all over, but he didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly.

"Thank you, Master Qingtian, thank you, Master Qingtian!" After confirming that the IOU was correct, the man knelt down and kowtowed, until his forehead was bleeding and he refused to stop.This is a life-saving grace, and it saved the lives of seven members of his family!Starting today, he will never scold the county magistrate again. Even though he has done many evil things in the past, today's incident alone is enough to offset all hatred.

People are like this, when their own interests are involved, hatred comes quickly, and gratitude also surges.

Youshu ordered someone to help him up, and said in a business-like manner, "You don't need to kowtow to me, just stand aside when you get the IOU, and don't waste the time of the people behind." Li Ergou's pile of property has its origins, and I don't know if it can be done. Get them out of the way before dark.

The person became more and more grateful in his heart, and hurriedly stood aside, while the people in the back line looked eagerly and stretched their necks.The vast majority of people in Lijia Village were forced by Li Ergou to borrow interest money in various ways. He took away the land, houses, and children to pay off the debts, but it seemed like a bottomless pit that would never be repaid.They dreamed that God would open his eyes and send a fairy to save them, but they didn't expect the living fairy to be the magistrate.

However, no matter what he has done in the past, it is not bad to be able to do some practical things for the people now.Looking at Dayong, it is estimated that there will be no second such good official.

Amidst the cheers, thanks, and tears of joy, Youshu began to dispose of the property after handing out the IOUs.A starving ghost narrated that he didn't need to send anyone to inquire about which household the land belonged to, and how it fell into Li Ergou's hands.It can only be said that even if Li Ergou died a hundred times, he would not be wronged. Of the hundreds of hectares of fertile land, [-]% or [-]% of them were obtained by force, making the entire Li family village impoverished and smoky.

Of course, Youshu also has to tell the truth, the main reason for the chaos in Lijiacun is "Zhao Youshu"'s indulgence.As an old ancestor, it is understandable that he came to help pay off the debt.

"The ten mu of land originally belonged to Li Jimin's family. Because Li Jimin walked carelessly, he bumped into Li Ergou. Li Ergou claimed that his leg was broken, and asked him to pay 20 taels of silver, or break his hands. Li Jimin is a scholar, he was about to take part in the childbirth examination, how could he break his hands, so he wrote him an IOU." When the starving ghost saw the adult pull out a land deed, he immediately listened to him and explained.

"It's a lot of money, and it's still not clear. In the end, I can only use the land to pay off the debt." Youshu nodded, slapped the land deed on the table, and shouted, "Whose family owns the ten acres of land by the Dongtou pond? Take it yourself." Go back." Tian Qi had already written Li Ergou's name, if he didn't check the transfer documents, he would not know who the original owner was, so he could only let everyone pick it up by themselves.

The villagers gradually became more courageous, and they trusted the county magistrate a lot. Immediately, a white scholar came out to take the land deed, then knelt down and kowtowed three times.

Not only the debts have been written off, but also the land that was taken away can be returned. Is there such a good thing in the world?However, such a good thing did happen. Not to mention the villagers who got back the land deeds cried in a mess, and even the people from other villages who came to join in the fun also had tears in their eyelashes and mixed feelings.

"Master County, you are a living Bodhisattva who saves the suffering!"

"The little one kowtows to the master, wishing the master a long life!"

"Thank you, Mr. County, I am willing to be a cow and a horse to repay your great kindness!"

There was a crowd of people kneeling outside the gate of Li's house, crying and thanking, making Youshu extremely embarrassed.In his previous life, he didn't like going to court very much, and he hid in the Zhaixing Building to study metaphysics when he had nothing to do. Although he was a national teacher, he was not used to being worshiped by others.Besides, he didn't think he had anything to be grateful for. The reason why the villagers suffered was the fault of "Zhao Youshu", and Zhao Youshu was able to become an official because he and his master had sheltered him.What he is doing now is really insignificant, just making up for mistakes.

He waved his hand to let everyone get up, and then distributed Li Ergou's food. People in Lijia Village, regardless of gender, old or young, each had a bag, and the total amount of silver was registered in the register. Those who were orphans, old or young, and those who were struggling to make ends meet each received five taels. The rest were packed into boxes and brought back to the county office.

"Fellow folks, I will use the remaining money to buy food for emergencies. If you are worried, I will make a public announcement at that time. Well, that's it for today, everyone go away." Some Shu waved her hand.

"Master County, don't rush away, go to our house to have a meal!" The village chief shouted hurriedly, and then attracted a lot of echoes.As for what to do with the rest of the money, they don't care.It has long been a well-known secret that all the stolen property was embezzled by the dog officials. Not to mention that the county magistrate left most of the money and food to the villagers, even if he swallowed it in one gulp, no one else can say anything.

People like Xiao Zhao county magistrate are enough to be called "upright officials" in Dayong Kingdom.

King Yan Luo stared at him from below. How could Youshu dare to eat the villagers' food, so he quickly waved his hand and refused.Seeing that he was about to leave, the group of people huddled in the corner couldn't help it, and screamed, "Master County, are you leaving now? You don't care about my life? I was also robbed of the field money and food by Li Ergou , why don’t you see even a dime now?”

There were villagers next to him who were hesitant to speak, but they dared not speak because of their fierce eyes.

It was at this moment that Youshu was waiting, pointing to the man at the head and saying, "Li Gui, you sold your land to Li Ergou on your own initiative when you lost the gamble. From then on, you have been colluding with Li Ergou and persecuting your neighbors. Are you Li Ergou's number one thug killed more than one person at the stall. If you open your mouth, I will reward you with fifty sticks and bring you back to the Yamen for trial. Folks, if anyone has been wronged and wronged because of him, please invite someone tonight Write the certificate, and come tomorrow to beat the Dengwen drum, and I will wait in the courtroom." As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and two strong men pressed the frightened Li Gui to the ground, and started beating him bang bang bang .

The other little Luo Luo quickly knelt down and kowtowed to plead guilty.With a quick scan of her mental power, Youshu knew which of them still had a life in her hand, and then pointed out three people to be punished with a stick, and then took them all away.

Such thunderous tactics and such perceptiveness made a group of villagers dumbfounded.After the person had disappeared around the corner for a long time, the villagers exclaimed, "Good man! We were all wrong before, the county magistrate is a very good man!"

The former scholar named Li Jimin never cared about his own business, but this time he took the initiative to say, "Anyone who wants to write a petition can come to my house in the evening, and I will do my service."

The villagers applauded and applauded, grateful, and then you supported me and I supported you, talking and laughing and dispersed.This small mountain village, which was originally lifeless, seems to be quietly changing somewhere.

Youshu threw several prisoners into prison, had a hasty dinner and then went back to her room to sleep. In the middle of the night, someone knocked on the door and said that Li Gui had died suddenly.

"How could you die suddenly?" Youshu was so frightened that she even forgot her coat and shoes and went to open the door.

"I don't know the little one, I have to ask the jailer." After all, he is a newly hired servant, and he is not very clear about the way in the yamen.

Youshu looked up at the starving ghost hiding on the beam.He immediately flew out to inquire about the news of the unjust dead ghost in the prison, turned back after a while, and told, "My lord, it turns out that the jailer and Li Gui are old friends, and the two of them are very close friends with Wang Fuguo, and they said that when Wang Fu comes back, they will come back." The matter can be settled, and you can go in and sit in the cell by yourself. They chatted and ate and drank, and Li Gui was so drunk that he lay on his back on the ground, choking on the pickled things he vomited died."

This kind of death is really weird.Youshu ran to the cell to check and was sure it was an accident rather than murder, so she ordered someone to find a place to put the body temporarily, then turned around and locked the jailer in for malfeasance, and the trial will start together tomorrow.Before leaving, Li Ergou was still yelling, saying that he and his sister would go out soon, so that he could not be complacent.

"You don't know, do you? My sister has slept with Mr. Wang a long time ago, you're just a bitch, hahahahaha!" Harsh laughter echoed in the corridor, but it didn't make Youshu frown.Who did Li Ni sleep with?Left and right are just dying people.

When he returned to the room and drew the curtains, he fell asleep as soon as his head was glued to the pillow. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself kneeling in an empty and gloomy hall, with heavy shackles on his hands and feet. There was a chaotic sound of tinkling and clanging.Before he had time to react, he heard a hollow and weird voice from above his head, "Is this Zhao Youshu, the magistrate of Suichang County?"

How could it be him?Youshu immediately looked up, and sure enough, she saw King Yama sitting upright on the high hall, the sharp eyes hidden behind the mask seemed to pierce through her body.That staring look is terrifying, just because when he looks at you, you will feel that you are not alone, but an ant that can be easily crushed to powder.

Youshu managed to regain her composure, and replied, "It's here." But she quickly thought about why she was arrested, and it was most likely related to Li Gui who had just died.

As soon as he thought about this, he saw two ghost guards escorting Li Gui out of the shadows, also kneeling at the bottom of the hall, while the fourth prison master whom he had seen before was sitting on the left and listening.

"Li Gui, what crime did you sue Zhao Youshu, the magistrate of Suichang County?" Yama asked in a deep voice.

Li Gui died of accidental suffocation. Naturally, he did not dare to lie in front of Yama, who knows the world well, so he accused the other party of unfairness and abuse of punishment, saying that he had distributed the money and food of the Li family but not distributed to himself and his brothers. , He also said that he has an eighty-year-old mother and children who are waiting to be fed. Life is also very difficult, and even if he cannot get relief, he should be punished lightly.If he hadn't been sentenced to fifty rods and then taken to prison, he wouldn't have drank alcohol in distress, and he wouldn't have choked to death if he didn't drink alcohol.

In a word, Zhao Youshu was responsible for his death.

Youshu was taken aback when she heard that, she never imagined that there would be such a shameless person in the world.He was still very nervous at first, but then he felt that he had a clear conscience, so he gradually relaxed, blinking his black and white round eyes to look at King Yama, making sure that he felt his innocence.

King Yan Luo didn't seem to expect that someone would dare to stare directly at him, and couldn't help but glance at him a few times, bumping into his crystal-clear pupils, and couldn't help but flicker slightly.Just at this moment, Li Gui's statement had also come to an end, and he was poking his neck and secretly watching everyone in the hall.The wretched expression, the cloudy eyes full of evil thoughts, should have been a common demeanor for a long time, but they are extremely annoying in contrast.Yan Luo Wang turned his head to look at You Shu, and asked, "Do you have something to defend yourself?" His tone was slightly gentle.

You Shu looked calm on the surface, but she was more or less afraid of this master, because his background was not simple, and if he was found out, he might be eaten.He didn't want to make a lot of reasons to delay the time, so he cupped his hands and said, "Return to your lord, I have nothing to say. You are doing what you are doing and the sky is watching. You will know what is right and what is wrong."

Oh, so calm!Compared with that day, I don't know how much style I have added, but I didn't waste this clean and transparent skin.The fourth prison master thought to himself.

King Yan Luo gave him a deep look, and ordered in a deep voice, "Take him to execution."

Before Li Gui could be happy, he was dragged down by two ghost messengers, and then there was a miserable howl.King Yama didn't give up, and arrested all the witnesses he mentioned before to hell for interrogation. If there were any false accusers, they would all be taken there and flogged.Li Ergou was also among them. His tongue was pulled out for slandering Youshu, and then a ghost messenger sewed it back on for him, screaming worse than a pig waiting to be slaughtered.

Seeing that they were not good, Youshu felt relieved, and thought to herself happily: This King Yama is really as I thought, he is extremely fair in dealing with things, and he knows everything that happens in the world like the back of his hand.Anyone who intends to lie in front of him has to weigh it.If you meet him again in the future, you must not say a word of nonsense.

A group of people waited for the execution to be completed one by one, and those whose lifespan was exhausted were sent to the eighteenth floor of hell, and those whose lifespan was not exhausted were sent back. King Yama stood up and was about to leave, as if thinking of something, he asked, "I know that the next time I am accused, it will be my king." Interrogate yourself, why do you act so harshly? If you turn a blind eye to Li Gui and others, you will not suffer such unreasonable disasters."

In the past, some people were arrested and sent to hell for doing evil, and then released because of the virtues of their ancestors.But the person in front of him is just the opposite, the water chestnuts on his body are not smoothed, but sharper, which is a bit interesting to watch.

Without even thinking about it, Youshu said, "It is the real sin to let the wicked go and let them harm more civilians and create more injustices because they are afraid of getting into trouble? In my opinion: let the people be old To support, to educate the young, to depend on the poor, to help those who are difficult, to provide for the widowed, lonely, disabled and sick; to have hope in despair, to obtain justice in injustice; to be fed and clothed, to live in peace and joy , is the real blessing. Severe ailments should be given strong medicine, and heavy codes should be used in troubled times. When dealing with evil people, one should be merciless, and when dealing with good people, one should be lenient and merciful. I ask myself that I have done nothing wrong, and I believe that you, my lord, can see clearly."

The last sentence was undoubtedly a flattery, but Yan Luo Wang seemed very satisfied, his cold eyes melted a little, and then he smiled lowly and left.

Unexpectedly, this kid is so good at talking that he actually made the Lord of the Nether laugh.The fourth prison master shook his extremely stiff neck and shoulders, and went to unshackle Youshu. Although he couldn't see his expression wearing a mask, the admiration and envy in his eyes were very obvious.
