Chapter 209: When I pluck your eggs, what is removed is not the egg, but your brain, right?
However, the crowd instantly gathered together, giving him no chance to escape.
"Don't! Argue with us properly."
"I would like to know what the facts are. Please tell us carefully. If what you say makes sense, someone will naturally do it for us and take off the hat of the dog magistrate."
"Yes! I still don't believe it. Is there no king's law in this world?"
Someone reached out and stopped the man who said, "The county magistrate has to marry Jiang Anning as a concubine before he sentences Zhao Hai and his family to jail."
"That's right! Please tell us carefully and leave as soon as you're done."
As soon as someone started to question, there were more echoing voices in the crowd, asking the man to provide evidence.
Otherwise, he will be taken to the government and charged with slandering an official of the imperial court.
"I think it's better to just leave it like this. Don't tell us, just go directly to the county government office and confront the magistrate in front of you. As long as what you say is true, we people will support you."< br>
The man panicked instantly.
Those words were just random nonsense. If he really went to the Yamen to confront the county magistrate in front of him, wouldn't he be seeking death?
Just thinking about it made the man break out in a cold sweat.
He pushed away the crowd vigorously, trying to escape from this place.
He still muttered: "Don't mess around!"
"I won't argue with you brainless villains, and you won't lower my status."
"No matter what you say, you can't understand it. Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way quickly!"
"Don't even block my way."
It would be better if there were no such words.
After hearing these words, the crowd seemed to have received some instructions and instantly became impregnable.
Everyone gathered together and blocked the man's way with firm eyes.
"You don't want to argue with us, but we have to argue with you!"
“I really don’t know what kind of intentions this person has.”
"Don't take out a piece of the cerebellum when purifying a pig."
"Perhaps they are spies sent from somewhere to instigate us against the imperial court!"
"Catch him and send him to the government!"
"Yes, capture him and send him to the government."
"Never let the spies go!"
The shouts in the crowd became louder and louder, and they all shouted that the man should be sent to the government.
Please ask the county magistrate to find out where he came from, lest some spies sneak in with the intention of stirring up trouble, creating confrontation and causing panic.
In just a moment, the man who spread the rumor that the county magistrate was having an affair with Jiang Anning was arrested by everyone.
Jiang Anning, the client, had to go to the Yamen along with him.
When the county magistrate saw Jiang Anning, he felt a headache.
Why is this girl here again?
"Who is standing in the hall?" the county magistrate asked with a deliberately straight face.
The man in brown cloth next to Jiang Anning stood up, cupped his fists and saluted inexpertly: "Sir, I am the second son of the Xu family from Xiatang..."
After he reported his identity, he explained in detail the man's conspiracy about the county magistrate and Jiang Anning in the street.
The county magistrate was furious.
"Presumptuous!"
"Where did the turtle grandson come from..." He swallowed back the curse words that he almost blurted out, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot: "Who is so bold to arrange this county magistrate and insult the imperial court official!"
< br>
Everyone looked at Jiang Anning.
Jiang Anning:? ? ?
What are you watching her do? ? ! !
She didn't arrange it! !
After a while, she realized belatedly that the man who had just maliciously spread rumors to slander her and the county magistrate was hiding behind her, like a quail.
She quickly took a step to the right, got out of the way, and exposed the bastard who spread rumors.
The man wanted to hide again, but someone by the side picked him up by the collar, pulled him out, and threw him in front of the county magistrate.
The county magistrate narrowed his eyes: "You are the one who slandered and slandered me?"
"Keep your head up!"
He slapped the gavel angrily and yelled angrily.
That man wished he could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it, but how could he raise his head?
The county magistrate winked at the Yamen servant next to him and ordered the Yamen servant to lift the head of this dishonest person.
He wanted to take a closer look to see where the ghosts and monsters came from and spread rumors about him.
I simply don’t know what to say.
After taking a closer look, it was confirmed that he did not know this person, and he couldn't help but become even more confused: "I have no enmity with you, why do you fabricate facts and spread rumors to slander me?"
"Tell me, who instigated you!"
He slapped Gaowen angrily again: "Why don't you call me quickly and truthfully?"
"Don't wait until the board hits you to regret it!"
The man was shaking with fear.
"Villain, villain, no one tells the villain, please forgive me, please forgive me!"
He cried and howled for mercy.
The county magistrate simply didn’t believe it: “No one instigated it? If no one instigated it, why did you fabricate facts to slander me for no reason?”
"Even when you are about to die, you still insist on talking back! It seems that I have to give you some tricks!"
"Come on, drag me down and hit thirty more boards!"
After the county magistrate gave the order, the man was dragged down by two powerful government officials.
"It's unfair, it's unfair, my lord!"
As soon as he heard that he was going to hit the board, the man almost peed in fear and cried bitterly.
"Spare your life, my lord, spare your life!"
"The villain is wronged! The villain really didn't do anything or say anything! It's all these people who are jealous of the villain, maliciously framed the villain, and wronged the villain!"
"My Lord! Ming Jian, Lord!"
The man kept shouting about his injustice, crying with snot and tears.
The county magistrate sneered: "Which of us here doesn't cry out for injustice? How can it be that just because you cry out about injustice, you are really being unfairly accused?"
He shouted sternly: "Hold it down!"
"Hit!"
"Hit me hard!"
"Hit him until he gives in!"
Seeing that begging for mercy was in vain, the man shouted fiercely and bluffingly: "Sir, are you going to give in now? In this case, I really have nothing to say! I just hope that if blood spills on the county government today, there will be justice in the future It’s unfair for me!”
"Let everyone in Jiang'an County take a look at what our parents say! No one is allowed to question and speculate!"
He sneered: "It is even more obvious that what I said is not fabricated, but true."
"I feel sorry for Zhao Hai. He just wanted to spend some of his fiancée's dowry money, so he was charged with a crime for no reason and suffered unjust injustice."
"Now he has become a wanted criminal, and he will not be able to turn around in his life." "Fight!"
"If you dare to touch me today, you will be convinced that you have been beaten into a trap, trying to steal people's wives and frame good people."
He had a righteous look on his face, which made things a bit difficult for the county magistrate.
The government officials stopped and looked at the county magistrate.
"What a sophistry."
Jiang Anning felt resentful in her heart as she looked at this man who was complaining about Zhao Hai for no reason.
"The fraud that Zhao Hai committed has all the witnesses and material evidence. Even he never felt aggrieved or wronged. Do you know better than the person involved that he is calm in his heart?"
She sneered: "You slandered the county magistrate's honor in the street. We all heard it with our own ears and saw it with our own eyes. How could we have ever wronged you?"
"Nowadays, both human and material evidence are available, and everyone is a witness."
"Even if the county magistrate orders you to be beaten to death, you are still asking for trouble by resisting the crime."
"One person may have wronged you if he heard it. Dozens or hundreds of people may have heard it with their own ears at the same time. Could it be that they still wronged you?"
Jiang Anning took a step closer: "Or do you dare to swear to heaven that you really didn't say those words in the street? If you do anything against your will, you will be struck by lightning and die badly."
"Do you dare?"
The man flinched, trembled a few times, and opened his mouth, not daring to swear at all.
I was afraid that I would really be struck by lightning.
Upon seeing this, the county magistrate immediately ordered: "Drag us down! Beat us!"
"There are all the witnesses and material evidence, even if it means punishment, there are laws to follow!"
"The evidence is complete and can be seen by all. Even if he does not admit it, he can still be convicted."
"According to the law, anyone who slanders and slanders an official of the imperial court can be killed with a stick!"
The man was so frightened that he peed his pants.
The two yamen servants instantly became disgusted and dragged the man down to beat him.
After just one board, the man who had just been so arrogant and quibbling was all attacked.
The man's surname is Yang, with a clear name and no turbid characters.
I live in Nanyang County, and I am a scholar from a well-off family.
He once traveled to Lingnan, Ryukyu and other places. Eight years ago, he settled in Jiang'an County and started a small business, mainly selling meals. He also took care of sending some fresh patterns and fabrics from Ryukyu to several embroidery workshops.
Later, due to poor business management, he could only rest on his laurels.
Now that I have spent almost all my savings, I am not making progress all day long, doing nothing, eating and drinking without any limit, and now I am disgusted with people.
"I don't mean anything else. I just feel that so many people are saying bad things about Zhao Hai. If I also agree with them, it will appear that I am too unassertive."
"Besides, this matter is supposed to be a family matter and can be solved behind closed doors. Why do you want to bring it to court and bring shame to a good family?"
"Then what Jiang Anning did was too much."
As Yang Qing spoke, he became confident.
The county magistrate said angrily: "Is this the reason why you wantonly fabricated and slandered me and Mrs. Jiang?"
He slapped the table: "I think it was a gentle blow!"
"Here comes someone!"
"Drag Yang Qing down, beat him thirty times, put him in jail, and set a date for sentencing!"
A farce ended with Yang Qing's wailing.
But Jiang Anning always felt that something was not quite right.
Can someone really have infinite malice towards strangers for no reason and fabricate arrangements?
Nai He has been taken into custody, and the people who were watching have dispersed. Even if she wants to get to the bottom of it, she can't.
After thinking about it, after she left the yamen, she specially booked a table and asked someone to take it to the county yamen prison.
"Just say it's for Mr. Song Yubao Song."
She remembered the name of the cell leader from last time and gave a special warning.
-
"What happened today?"
Song Yubao looked at Xi Mian'er who had come from an unknown place and murmured in his heart.
Shao Wu next to him shook his head: "I didn't hear anything happened."
He chuckled and said, "Perhaps it's just some sensible person who sent this as a tribute?"
Song Yubao glanced sideways at the person: "Who do you think you are? Even if someone wants to show filial piety, they can't show filial piety to low-class prison bosses like us!"
He slapped the person on the head: "Be alert! Don't just eat and eat all day long!"
"You are not afraid that one day you will ask someone to give some arsenic and mouse poison, and you will die!"
Song Yubao glared at the person.
Shao Wu rubbed his beaten head: "Nowhere can it be as scary as you say."
He pursed his lips and said, "Besides, the people from the restaurant are still there, so no one would be so stupid as to poison us in front of us under real names."
Song Yubao followed the person's line of sight and looked over, and when he saw the embarrassed waiter, he coughed twice uncomfortably.
"I dare to ask, little brother, who asked you to bring this table?"
He looked at the person with a serious face and asked.
The waiter in the shop became nervous for a moment and replied honestly: "It's a young lady who has specified that she wants to give it to Song Yubao, Mr. Song."
When Shao Wu heard this, he couldn't help but joke about Song Yubao: "Oh, Mr. Song! You want to be promoted and make a fortune! Look, all these people are coming to give gifts."
He smiled mischievously and came up to the person, crooked the person's elbow, and winked a few times: "Good brothers, as long as we live in wealth and honor, don't forget each other!"
Song Yubao glared at the person: "Don't talk nonsense here."
It’s just that there is little doubt in my heart.
Who could it be? Why would you give him a meal?
After thinking about it, he couldn't think of anything that would match the number.
"I don't know any young lady, and there is no so-called Lord Song here."
Song Yubao made a quick decision: "You'd better take everything back."
The waiter was distressed. Before he could speak, Shao Wu couldn't help but become anxious.
He crackled and scolded involuntarily: "You fool! How come you don't know how to take advantage of it? They all named it and said it was going to be given to Mr. Song Yubao, but wasn't it given to you? How could there be any mistake? ? It’s good for you to push out the good things that come to your door.”
God knows how excited he was when he saw such a sumptuous table.
With this configuration, even with three months of his salary, he might not be able to eat even one of the dishes.
This guy is good, he got an advantage and behaved well.
There are good things for free, but I don’t know how to pick them up.
What an idiot!
With Shao Wu at his side to persuade him, the waiter breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Guan Ye, please don't make things difficult for me. This is what the boss has specified to deliver to you. Our shopkeeper, even with the money, Collect them all. If this is because I failed to deliver the things and ruined the business, our shopkeeper will have to skin me."
"Just be accommodating and think of it as doing the villain a favor..."
Song Yubao kept a straight face and refused.
Outside the prison cell, I heard his voice before I saw him.
"Did I come at a bad time?"
Song Yubao raised his head and saw the person coming quietly outside the door. He was extremely surprised - was it her?
