Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Don't look at those onlookers who dare not speak out against the Zhang family's evil deeds, but they still have the courage to watch the excitement.

Seeing a stranger trying to stroke Zhang's family's beard, they all felt very novel, and followed the team noisily, discussing a lot.

"Hey, don't even mention it, this old customer is really courageous! Do you think he is not afraid of tigers after he was born, or is he just stupid in reading?"

"Who knows? All in all, I think this kid is going to be unlucky!"

"That's right, that's right, let's not talk about him. Even the magistrate of the county can't stand up to the Zhang family. It's wishful thinking for him to rely on the government to make decisions for him!"

"Oh, it's a pity, this old customer is also a good person. Seeing injustice, he draws his sword to help, but a good person will not be rewarded! He may not be concocted by the government in the future."

"I understand it. These days, people kill people and set fire to their golden belts, and bridges and roads are repaired without corpses! Good people will suffer, and good people without brains will suffer even more!"

……

Zhou Zhengcheng felt even more uncertain after hearing these discussions, and said, "Grandfather, it's too late for you to regret it now. It's hard for a strong dragon to overwhelm a snake. You're a businessman, even if you're afraid of the Zhang family, you won't be ashamed."

Guo Ye said indifferently: "It seems that you still don't have much confidence in me. You have to understand that it's not me fighting the Zhang family now. It's the national law fighting the Zhang family. No matter how powerful the Zhang family is, can they beat the national law? We will win this lawsuit for sure." !"

"This..." Zhou Zhengcheng said helplessly: "I can't say no to you in terms of reasoning. But let me put it here, you will lose this lawsuit, and you might even get killed."

"I don't like to hear that." Guo Ye frowned slightly, and said, "Then what if I win this lawsuit, what will you do?"

"If you win..."

"Yes, what can you do?"

Zhou Zhengcheng said: "Look at what you said, my house is surrounded by walls. Is it possible that I can lose to you? Besides, you have saved my life. I really have something good. I gave it to you. There is no need to bet ?"

"No, no, no. I don't want your things." Guo Ye said: "If I win this lawsuit, you have to do one thing for me."

"what's up?"

"When you go back, you will spread it among the Liao people, saying that most of the officials in the Tang Dynasty are still clean, and there is no such thing as official protection. If you have a grievance, you can come to the Yamen to file a complaint. The Tang Dynasty officials will make decisions for them."

"This..." Zhou Zhengcheng said with a bitter face: "I can say it, but I can't guarantee the effect. You have been bullied by the government for so many years, and you can't believe it. Unless...unless..."

"how?"

"The imperial court punished Zhang Xinming, the cruelest governor of Maozhou! But the question is, can you do it?"

"Hahaha!" Guo Ye smiled and said, "That's not impossible! Young people, believe in miracles!"

……

As they spoke, everyone had already arrived outside the yamen.As soon as Guo Ye winked, Zhou Zheng deliberately understood, and beat the drum of grievance!

dong dong dong~

The drums are rumbling, resounding through the sky!

"Wrong! Wrong~"

Li Yi's mansion was refreshed when he heard the sound of drums in the county yamen and the sound of grievances!

This is his first case since becoming an official!

He immediately sent an order to ask questions!

Mighty~

Amidst the shouts of the yamen servants, Guo Ye and others walked into the lobby.

Li Yifu was a little dumbfounded when he saw this posture.I haven't issued an order yet, why are the defendants tied up?Why are there so many people watching the fun outside?More importantly, why did my cheap brother get involved?

Is this the rhythm that made me bend the law for personal gain in my first case?

But no matter how surprised, the procedures that should be followed have to be followed.He patted the gavel and said: "Who exactly beat the drum of grievance?"

Zhou Zhengcheng knelt down on the ground and said, "It's the villain who beat the grievance drum."

"Then present your pleading paper."

"This... my lord, the villain came in a hurry and there is no paperwork."

"Bold! Why are you complaining without a pleading? You don't have time to write a pleading before you arrive. I think you are clearly contemptuous of this officer..."

cough~

Guo Ye coughed, and Li Yifu immediately changed his tone, saying: "Of course, my government has always been lenient and benevolent. I think you are a vulgar bureaucrat, and I don't know gifts, so I won't care about these trivial matters with you. Why are you wronged, why don't you tell me quickly!"

Zhou Zhengcheng was also a clever person, seeing this scene, how could he not know that something was going on here?

He thought to himself, no wonder benefactor wants to come to the county government to sue?It seems that his relationship with the county magistrate is not simple!It is said that the county magistrate is not as good as the present, and today's lawsuit is really open!

It's just that Zhang Xin is too powerful, and the county magistrate might be afraid of him.It's better not to mention Zhang Xin when I sue, or put all the responsibility on Mr. Zhang!

Thinking of this, he said: "The villain's name is Zhou Zhengcheng, and I want to sue Zhang Fu. He has monopolized all the trade in Shiquan County. No matter whether people buy or sell anything, they must pass through his shop, and no private transactions are allowed. If you don't follow , will be beaten to death.”

"If there is such a thing?"

"The villain dares to guarantee with his life. Just today, the villain sold a blue horse to a merchant. When he found out, he would beat the villain to death. If it wasn't for the help of the benefactor, the villain might not be here now. The world is over."

"Who is your benefactor?"

Zhou Zhengcheng pointed at Guo Ye and said, "That's him!"

"Who is that blessing?"

Zhou Zhengcheng pointed again, and said, "That's the one with the sock stuffed in his mouth!"

"Get the socks out and let him talk!"

"Yes!"

After the socks were taken out, Zhou Fu vomited for a while, and then said viciously: "County magistrate, what are you waiting for? Why don't you hurry up and arrest these troublemakers and sentence them to death!"

Li Yifu's face sank, and he said: "I don't need you to teach me how to ask questions. I'll ask you. Are you Zhou Fu?"

"Yes, exactly."

"Then what Zhou Zhengcheng said just now, do you have anything to defend?"

Zhang Fu curled his lips and said, "I have nothing to say, what he said is true. But, so what? Do you still dare to convict me?"

"Why don't you dare?"

"Let me tell you, Shiquan county magistrate, if you are sensible, release me quickly, and then arrest this group of unscrupulous people, otherwise, if my master gets angry, you will have to go back and forth!"
