Chapter 426: Change the chief to another surname
Bang!
County Magistrate Kang’s anger soared again. He slapped the table and asked angrily: “Didn’t you let them wait? Did you not listen to the magistrate and bring people here to ask for permission? Do you want to persecute?!”
"And aren't they and Chief Wu guarded separately? How did they get together? Who is responsible for guarding them? Go and get the punishment yourself!"
I was really angry.
Yang Xianwei and Fengxian Cheng came out to plead guilty: "This is a low-level official who has neglected his duty. Please forgive me."
After they apologized, Guan Shuli reminded him: "Your Excellency, the county magistrate, Wu Li He was seriously injured, he was old, and he had a low-level job. It is recommended that we meet as soon as possible, lest if something happens to Mr. Wu, the children of the Wu family will feel resentful and continue to make trouble. "
The Wu family is a large family in the countryside, and there are many people. If there is a quarrel, it will still happen. Somewhat annoying.
Kang County Magistrate thought for a while and agreed: "Sure. But let them wait in the court. If you have any questions, the court will tell you."
Since the Wu family wants to carry Wu Li If the chief comes to put pressure on the Yamen, then there is no need for him to give them face. I will see him in court!
After speaking, Magistrate Kang glanced at Master Lu.
Yang Xianwei and Feng Xiancheng were shocked. They knew very well that Kang County Magistrate was going to completely abandon the Wu family as a helper.
"Let's arrange the humble job right away." Master Lu immediately took several Lu Yamen servants to handle it... They are from the Lu family, unlike Master Han who is a local, and they will not save face for the locals.
Not long after the group left the office yard, they met the elders and younger members of the Wu family who were carrying Wu Li.
Fortunately, there is a door here, and the Wu family is blocked outside this door.
But the government officials guarding the door were locals, and the Wu family knew them, so they cried: "Peng Xiaoqi, Xiaoqi, your cousin's home is in our town. You have also been to our town and know our Wu family. Now that our village chief has been killed and his family has been destroyed, you juniors can’t stand by and watch.”
Shocked that they can actually speak idioms.
After hearing this, Peng Xiaoqi’s face burned, feeling that it was really embarrassing to know the Wu family.
But the Peng family is a local family and is related to the Kong family in Taifeng Town. His family also goes to Taifeng Town to visit relatives, so it is really not easy to offend the Wu family.
"Uncles and brothers of the Wu family, I have sent someone to inform you, please wait..."
"Why are you waiting? If you wait any longer, if something happens to our commander, will you be responsible?!"
Peng Xiaoqi: "..."
Damn, don't touch me like this Porcelain.
"Xiao Qi, we know you are in trouble. Come here, please pull Xiao Qi and the others aside, and we can tear down the door ourselves and go see the county magistrate!" Wu Liukui suddenly fell down, as if his brain had been eaten. received this order.
You want to ask him why he is so crazy?
The reason is that Wu Li is about to die, and Wu Liukui thinks that he will succeed him... After all, Wu Da is dead, Wu Xingzu is disabled, Wu Er is in Fucheng, and now in Wujia Village, he is the only one with a high reputation who can take over. Get off this position.
After hearing this, the children of the Wu family actually did as they were told.
Behind the door, Master Lu and the others had already arrived. After hearing this, they stood silently behind the door, waiting for the Wu family to break in.
Therefore, when the children of the Wu family opened the door, they were caught by Master Lu and others.
Master Lu said with a dark face and a deep voice: "The children of the Wu family did not listen to the dissuasion and forced themselves to break into the Yamen. This crime is equivalent to breaking into the Yamen. Write it down and wait for the judgment!"
By crime, he was a professional.
And he didn’t accuse the Wu family unjustly, he just made the accusation more serious.
Thump thump thump thump!
The Wu family was so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy with pale faces: "Your Excellency, please forgive me. We didn't mean to break in. Please understand and spare us this time."
Wu Liukui, on the other hand, Said: "Master Lu, we were in a hurry to see the county magistrate, so we broke down the door in desperation..."
He cried again: "Our chief, my clan brother really can't wait any longer!"
"Hmph, one code is the same, don't try to confuse things." Master Lu will not accept their trick. , after severely shocking the Wu family, he said: "Take Mr. Wu to the court, and the county magistrate will go to the court to see you." "What? Go to the court?" Wu Liukui was shocked and didn't want to go to the court, so he asked : " Sir, we are almost at the county magistrate’s office. Can you take us to the office to see Magistrate Kang alone?”
“Do you have any fame? I dare to ask you to meet the magistrate alone!" Mr. Lu didn't give any face and said directly: "Go to the court, this is the magistrate's order, and those who violate it will be arrested."
This?
Wu Liukui was confused. Why was this different from what he thought?
What he wanted to do was to carry Wu Li Chang to see Kang County Magistrate, use the Wu family tragedy to negotiate with Kang County Magistrate, and let Kang County Magistrate directly appoint him or other Wu family members as Xinli Governor today. long.
"Come here, take them to the court." Master Lu didn't talk nonsense and directly asked the government officials to drive the Wu family children to the court.
The Wu family had no choice but to carry Wu Lichang and walk back.
Dang, Dang, Dang!
"The Yamen is wide open, there are people coming to the court, it's time to go to court!"
With a shout, the county people hiding near the Yamen came out one after another, rushed towards the County Yamen, and surrounded the Yamen in the blink of an eye. There are three floors inside and three floors outside, and the whole place is full of people.
“Hey, you stepped on my toes, squeeze in the side!”
“We can’t squeeze in anymore, there are more people on my side... If you are thin, squeeze in your side! "
"If we gather around to watch a show like this, we won't be arrested by the Yamen and put in jail, right?"
"Keep your heart in your stomach, this government office will open its doors wide open, tacitly allowing the people to come and watch."
The Wu family's affairs were too big, and the news spread yesterday, and people in the county I have been scratching my head all day and night, and early this morning, people came to Yamen Street to wander around, waiting to watch the ceremony.
"People behind, listen up, Mr. Wu is also in the court, alive, still alive, and in good spirits!"
"Oh my God, he is still alive. ? He's in good spirits, maybe he's coming back to his old self. "
"Why does he have the nerve to come out to see people? If I were him, I would have hanged myself. It's embarrassing!"
"Hey, you can't say that. After all, the Wu family is the master of suffering."
"The master of suffering is a fart, what happened to his family is called retribution! Who in Tianfu County doesn't know about him? He is about to be buried and he is still forced to Young girls sleep and spend money to promote that they will get stronger and have children when they get older. , It’s a home of thick blessings... Tsk tsk tsk, I don’t know if the fortune is thick or not, but I’m really thick-skinned anyway.”
In the room, Wu Lichang, who was looking back, listened to these words without saying a word, and felt that The throat was fishy and sweet: "Pfft!"
A mouthful of blood spurted out.
Lu Pansan: "Doctor Xue, save him quickly."
Dr. Xue: "..."
Everyone has returned to his original glory, how to save him?
The most you can do is use old ginseng slices to keep you angry.
But those old ginseng slices are so rare. If Wu Lizhang uses them, he is afraid of being struck by lightning.
Fortunately, dozens of people including County Magistrate Kang, County Lieutenant Yang, County Magistrate Feng, masters, scribes, and government officials arrived at the court.
"The Yamen is in the hall, be quiet! Be quiet! Be quiet!" the yamen servants shouted in a deep voice, beating the brick surface with their killing sticks, making waves of sounds that hit people's hearts, which is frightening.
The surrounding area immediately became quiet.
Kang County Magistrate also saw that Wu Lichang had returned to his former glory, and did not dare to complain. He immediately asked people to bring out the evidence for the interrogation, so that everyone could roughly understand the whole story of the Wu family case.
"According to the confessions of Wu Laosi, Wu Xingzu, and Wu's eldest daughter-in-law, the Huang family sisters have indeed been forced by men from the Wu family and the Wu family."
As soon as these words came out, poof, Wu Lichang again He vomited blood and shouted with all his strength: "The Wu family was wronged... Huang Xianiang was not forced... she did it voluntarily..."
Fengxian Cheng said: "Wu Li, please save your strength. The person who confessed that you and Uncle Wu forced Huang Xianniang to death is Wu Xingzu, your grandson."
This is to remind Wu Li. , everything is a foregone conclusion, don’t struggle any more, just hurry up and sacrifice to heaven, so as not to hurt us.
