Liaozhai Great Sage

"Magistrate Liu, let me ask you, will you let my father go or not?"

"Bold, Li Xiuyuan, I only tolerate you in every possible way because you are a child. You are so arrogant, even I can bear it, and the law of the court can't bear it. Come, come, mess up this arrogant person!" Hit it with a stick." Magistrate Liu shouted.

But even though he said this, none of the yamen servants dared to beat Li Xiuyuan with a stick.

They are all from Guobei County, so they naturally understand the power of the Li family.

If anyone makes a move this time, I'm afraid they won't be able to live in Guobei County in the future.

"I don't want County Magistrate Liu to do anything, I will leave." Li Xiuyuan said coldly; "But let me put down a word here, if my father suffers the slightest grievance and punishment in the cell, my Li family will pay back a hundred times."

All the yamen servants felt a chill in their hearts, and their hands and feet felt cold.

It's rare to see the young master get really angry.

"The bright mirror hangs high? Huh, God is blind, such a person is worthy of being an official, and he should be a dog in his next life." Li Xiuyuan hummed heavily, and strode away.

As he hummed like this, it seemed that there was something in the dark.

The plaque hanging above the county gate was originally extremely bright, but in a blink of an eye, the light dimmed, and several cracks appeared on it.

"Arrogant person, you're angry with me." Magistrate Liu also roared, picked up the gavel and threw it at Li Xiuyuan.

But after the gavel was thrown, it was too crooked, and it directly hit the doorpost next to it.

"Touch~!"

As if shocked by the exclamation wood, the plaque hanging above the hall suddenly fell from the beam, and with a bang, the four characters hanging above the mirror were smashed to pieces, but the wooden plaque was intact.

Everyone was startled, and they all looked at Li Xiuyuan's back in the distance in a dazed manner.

"Sorcery, sorcery, this son of the Li family really knows how to perform sorcery." Magistrate Liu was so ashamed that he even dropped his official hat to the ground in shock.

"However, the son of the Li family is so arrogant and despises me so much. If I don't teach the Li family a lesson, I really think that I, the county magistrate of Guobei County, is not worth it? Black three, where is the black three? Quickly let him come to see the official."

At this time, a yamen servant from outside hurried in, and hurriedly said: "Sir, my lord, Hei San was cut off by a man named Han Meng, and a leg was cut off, and now he is bandaging the wound at Wu Zuo's place, and the blood is bleeding." It's all over the place, and I've passed out by now."

"What?" Magistrate Liu was surprised.

"Then who is Han Meng, who is so bold that he dares to attack the government servants."

A yamen servant said in a low voice: "My lord, then Han Chuang is a bodyguard of the bodyguard bureau of the Li family."

"Okay, the Li family's kid dares to pay someone to kill someone, come and arrest Li Xiuyuan, I will torture him severely." Magistrate Liu said angrily again.

"My lord, Han Meng has already surrendered outside the county gate, and he took all this matter on himself, and even threatened that this matter has nothing to do with others." The yamen servant said.

Chapter 50 The county government moves.

Han Meng surrendered?

Hearing this, County Magistrate Liu twitched his mouth in anger.

Surrendering to the crime is tantamount to closing the case, and Li Xiuyuan cannot be implicated in this matter. If Han Meng hadn't surrendered, he would have plenty of ways to make the Li family feel overwhelmed.

"Since Han Meng has surrendered, why don't you arrest him and put him in prison?" On the lobby, Magistrate Liu shouted again.

The people below were silent, not daring to say a word.

Han Meng is a member of the Escort Bureau, who would dare to detain a member of the Escort Bureau indiscriminately?

The Li Family's Shunfeng Escort has recruited an unknown number of desperadoes. In the past few years, even the bandits near Guobei County were wiped out by the men of the Shunfeng Escort, and all of them were masters who had seen blood.

It's just that the Shunfeng Escort is too low-key in Guobei County, and ordinary people may not know it.

"My lord, if Han Meng comes to surrender, he will be punished according to the law and reduced to a lower grade. Moreover, he fought and injured people, but did not cause death. If he is dealt with according to the reduced crime, he will not be able to enter the prison of the county government." At that time, Xu Butou stood up and cupped his hands.

It is a good word for Han Meng.

At this juncture, anyone who stands up will be unlucky. County magistrate Liu immediately shouted angrily: "I told you to arrest Han Meng. Do I need to say this a second time? Xu Butou, don't you want to?" After eating this bowl of rice, I even dare to disobey the order of my official."

"The little one doesn't dare. Since the adults have orders, then the little one will go and arrest Han Meng." Xu Butou hurriedly said, not daring to continue to intercede.

But I pleaded for mercy, I think even if something happens, I won't get into trouble.

Immediately, he turned and left holding the waist knife.

"Retire, tomorrow the Japanese officials will try Li Dafu in front of all the people in Guobei County." County Magistrate Liu said again; "Master, later, you can go outside and make a public notice to let the people in Guobei County know. Lest others say that this official uses power for personal gain and does not follow the law."

"Yes, my lord." The master beside him replied respectfully.

The other yamen servants were like Ming Jing in their hearts, and the county magistrate Liu was only willing to give up if he wanted to ruin the Li family.

What is the use of a public trial?

I'm afraid that all kinds of evidence, the stolen goods have been prepared long ago, and Li Dafu may not be able to argue with them when he goes to court tomorrow.

Once the charges are confirmed, how can the Li family decide not to let the county magistrate Liu?

"Retire." County Magistrate Liu said angrily, "Also, don't forget to fix this plaque before tomorrow."

As he spoke, he pointed to the plaque hanging high on the broken mirror on the ground.

This plaque has been hanging in the yamen for more than ten years, and it has not been touched. On the contrary, it is very strange today, and it fell from the beam.

"My lord, it's not difficult to see from today's incident that the Li family's status in Guobei County is not small. Your lord is so anxious to manage the Li family, is it a bit too hasty?"

After leaving the lobby, the master was a little worried on the way, and reminded him cautiously.

County magistrate Liu narrowed his eyes and said, "Master, what do you think is wrong? The Li family is just a mere merchant's family with some money. It's not easy for me to get rid of him. I have dealt with such people a lot in the past. "

"My lord, in the past, the wealthy businessmen that your lord dealt with in the past were not well-known wealthy businessmen, and those rich businessmen were also timid. They just found a reason to beat and knock, and then obediently sent money, but this Mr. Li Family Seeing it, I have no intention of bowing my head at all."

The master said in a low voice: "I'm afraid that if we press too hard, it will backfire."

"The official of the Li family has checked, and there is no backer. Li Xiuyuan is only a student of Kong Sheng from Beilin Academy, and that Kong Sheng is just a frustrated scholar. Although he has a good literary talent, he has no power or power." County Magistrate Liu Said lightly.

"This official wants to run the Li family. In addition to liking the Li family's money, the more important thing is that the Li family is too big. If I don't take the Li family, I am afraid that the county magistrate will not be stable, and the most important thing Yes, the Li family knows about Mistress Wang."

Speaking of this, magistrate Liu became a little dignified.

"If the Li family finds Goddess Wang and confronts her face-to-face, it will be revealed that I instigated Goddess Wang to use sorcery to obtain money from the Li family. I'm afraid that all the scandals that Goddess Wang did in the past will be blamed on me. If the people are angry, this official will be in danger."

The master slightly bent down and said, "So my lord wants to cut through the mess quickly, and the first is the best?"

"Of course."

County Magistrate Liu nodded, and then sighed again: "Actually, why did I ever want to use such a strong method? Slowly trying to figure it out is the best strategy. It is really urgent from the top. The moon cannot be cut off, so I have nothing to do. It is too slow to rely on the usual taxes, and the Li family deliberately opposed me and cut off the land tax for the first half of this year. I have no choice but to kill It’s the fat sheep of the Li family.”
