farming in ancient times

The villagers found a doctor to stop the bleeding for Wang Laifu. Seeing Butcher Gao standing in front of Xiaoer, Wang Zhaoshi didn't dare to rush up and tear Xiaoer up, so he yelled at the village chief, "I want to go to the county government! Go to the county government !"

"Shut up!" the village chief roared, and the surroundings were quiet, pointing to the old man Wang's nose and said, "You take Xiao Er's cow, and Xiao Er cuts off Wang Laifu when he gets angry. never mind!"

"It wasn't you who co-authored and hacked!" Old man Wang said as soon as he opened his mouth.

"If you don't accept it, we'll go to the county government!" Butcher Gao answered simply.Seeing that Xiao Er wanted to speak, he patted Xiao Er lightly and glanced at Da Lang.Seeing Aunt Zheng at the side, she said, "Auntie, please go back and tell sister-in-law not to worry."

When Zheng Fengshi heard this, he hurriedly said "ah", turned around and left.

At this moment, Old Man Wang glanced at Dalang, "Just go! Who's afraid of you!"

The people in Wangjia Village are afraid of Butcher Gao's notoriety, and know that he has been on the battlefield for seven or eight years, and he crawled out of the dead. The butcher cursed.

Xiaoer saw that his grandparents left as soon as they said they would, and Wang Laifu was still walking in front with his arms folded. Xiaoer looked around with a pale face, and saw that the villagers looked at the three brothers with sympathy, and pointed at them from time to time. After pointing, he asked in a low voice, "Butcher, why did you go to the county government office?"

"You forgot, stealing a cow is a serious crime. According to the laws of our Jinyu Dynasty, you will be exiled. Wang Laifu went directly to our house to grab a cow. He also injured Dalang and frightened Niuniu. It is much more serious than stealing a cow." Gao Butcher With a faint smile in his eyes, "Don't worry."

"I, did I kill Wang Laifu?" A person who was killed even a chicken in his previous life cut off his arm for the first time in his two lives. Even if Xiao Er heard Gao Butcher's words, he was still at a loss, "The county magistrate How will the adults judge?"

"With me here, from now on, I won't let others bully you." Even if he didn't protect the person he liked well, Butcher Gao wanted to give himself a slap in the face.

Just when Butcher Gao took the opportunity to show his loyalty to Xiao Er, and Xiao Er's molars were knocked out by his sweet words, a group of people came to the county government gate.

Wang Laifu didn't even allow the yamen servant to open his mouth, so he went to beat the drums.

As soon as County Magistrate Bai heard the sound of the drum, he subconsciously picked out his ears and eyes, and asked Bai Fu, "Did I hear it wrong, isn't it the sound of the drum in the temple?"

"My lord, the sound of the drum in the temple can't reach us. You heard me right, the drum that hasn't been played for a year is now ringing."

"Then what are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and find me an official uniform. By the way, call all the yamen servants who are on duty today and be promoted!" Seeing Bai Fu running outside, he hurriedly called his wife to help him put on his official uniform and hat!

As soon as County Magistrate Bai sat in the hall, he was about to say he was promoted, but he paused his hands, blinked his eyes, opened and closed his mouth, but didn't say a word.He, did he read it right, general, why is General Pingdi standing below?

County magistrate Bai saw that the two parties kneeled down, and the general stood beside Wang Xiaoer as expected, and asked directly, "Who is the plaintiff and who is the defendant?"

"I am the plaintiff!" Wang Laifu seemed afraid that Xiaoer would speak first.

County Magistrate Bai's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, "Who are you suing?"

"Wang Xiaoer hacked people with a knife!" Wang Laifu raised his arms as he spoke, and if he listened carefully, he could still hear the vibrato in Wang Laifu's words.

But at this moment, Wang Zhaoshi and Old Man Wang, who had been the most yelling before, fell silent instead.

Seeing their cowardice, Butcher Gao snorted coldly.

County Magistrate Bai, who was always watching him, was quite far away from Butcher Gao and the others, so he heard the general's disdainful snort.Secretly wiping off the sweat from his forehead, County Magistrate Bai felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. Except for one Bai Fu who knew about it, all the yamen servants felt that there was something wrong with the county magistrate today.

According to the past, adults should ask at this time, defendant, do you have something to say?

Who ever thought the magistrate would ask, "Butcher Gao, what do you have to say?"

Butcher Gao moved his lips up and down, without adding or subtracting a single word, and told the whole story about Wang Facai and Wang Laifu hurting Da Lang and taking away the calf.It's just that when Butcher Gao said that the calf was robbed, he bit the word "robbed" very hard.

County magistrate Bai heard that the calf was still in Wang Laifu's house, and the county magistrate, who didn't look down on Wang and Zhao's family, became angry all of a sudden. He even dared to move the cow he rewarded Xiao Er. The old man Wang's family had the guts It's too big.

Unable to hear the hint in Butcher Gao's words, County Magistrate Bai still slapped the gavel in his hand hard, "Wang Laifu, Wang Facai, Wang Zhaoshi, are you all guilty?!"

"Huh?" Old man Wang and Wang Facai, who were lying on the ground with their heads down, raised their heads subconsciously, and Wang Laifu hurriedly said, "My lord, I was wrong, I was wrong, Wang Xiaoer is the one who is guilty!"

"Shut up!" The county magistrate was very angry when he snatched his own cow under the general's nose.

Regardless of whether he was really angry or fake, Butcher Gao was satisfied.

County magistrate Bai secretly glanced at Butcher Gao, saw him nodding slightly at him, and felt that he was right.Before Wang Laifu could speak again, County Magistrate Bai asked the county magistrate to read out the regulations of the Jinyu Dynasty.

The county magistrate looked suspiciously at the county magistrate. The law did not specify what crime was for stealing cattle, only the relevant provisions of stealing cattle.

Seeing the county magistrate lower his eyelids, the county magistrate understood in seconds.

As soon as Wang Laifu heard that the cattle robbers were going to be exiled to the border, he collapsed and sat on the ground.

Xiao Er knelt aside, smelling a smell of urine, quickly looked up at Butcher Gao and asked silently, "What's going on?"

Dalang and Xiaoshan also looked at Butcher Gao. The two brothers, who had never been in the county government office, saw that the facts were the same as Butcher Gao said. Butcher Gao became the backbone.

Butcher Gao raised his finger, and the three brothers looked along his finger, and saw that Wang Facai's pants were wet, and at the same time heard Wang Facai lying on the ground with his grandparents trembling and shouting, "My lord, please forgive me, my lord!" , Forgive me, no, we didn’t rob cattle, it’s Laifu, it’s Laifu....”

The people of Wangjia Village who were watching outside the yamen burst into laughter.County magistrate Bai slapped the gavel, "Quiet!"

There was a silence in the huge courtroom, and County Magistrate Bai asked again, "Wang Laifu, are you convicted?"

When Wang Laifu heard his father say that he was leading the cow, he felt that he had heard it wrong, and when he heard the county magistrate asked him if he was guilty, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "My lord, why did Wang Xiaoer cut off my arm?"

"This county wants you to speak up!" Seeing that there were many people outside, County Magistrate Bai knew what to say, "Wang Laifu, you are the first to rob Wang Xiaoer's cattle, this county will naturally sentence you first!"

"Then what is Wang Xiaoer's sentence?" Wang Laifu asked hastily.

In fact, County Magistrate Bai didn't need to answer him, but said, "Wang Xiaoer cut your arm, and he was out of breath. The county sentenced him to serve one year in prison!"

"Why do we want to be exiled, Wang, Wang Xiaoer for one year?" Wang Zhao asked bravely.

Magistrate Bai snorted, "Why don't you come?" He got up and gave up his seat.

"My lord, you can't do it! You can't do it!" The county magistrate hurriedly held him down, and asked the onlookers on behalf of the county magistrate, "Does any of you know what the crime is for stealing a cow?"

The people in Wangjia Village don't know the law, but they still know the crime of stealing cattle.

Someone rushed to say, "Exile, exile!"

"Yes! It's exile! Wang Laifu robbed cattle and injured people. The nature is more serious than stealing cattle. My lord sentenced him to exile. Is there a heavy sentence?"

"No!" Everyone shouted no.

As soon as the words came out, County Magistrate Bai picked up the gavel again and patted it, "Wang Laifu, are you convinced?"

Even if Wang Laifu found out that he was going to be exiled, seeing that his father and grandma didn't say a word, he felt chills, "My lord, I, I won't sue Wang Xiaoer, you, don't you judge me?"

"Above the court, how can you wait for me to play tricks!" County Magistrate Bai was not sure how to erase Xiaoer's charges, and when he heard this, he pretended to be angry and said, "Come here, pull Wang Laifu down!"

"My lord, my lord, I will not sue Wang Xiaoer, my arm was not chopped off by Wang Xiaoer!"

"What?" The county magistrate hastily raised his hand, telling the yamen servant to stop, "Don't fool me!"

"Really!" Wang Laifu was especially good at watching people's faces, thinking that Xiao Er had done something for the county magistrate, and the county magistrate would definitely not want to put Xiao Er in prison, so he nodded vigorously.

"If you don't sue Wang Xiaoer, Wang Xiaoer's crime will not be established?" With a general here, County Magistrate Bai naturally has to behave well. In order to show that he is a good official, he not only does not torture Wang Laifu in court, but also asks, " Are you sure your arm wasn't chopped off by Wang Xiaoer?"

"No, I bumped into it myself." Wang Laifu said hastily.

When he said this, the people onlookers also thought of what Wang Laifu had thought before. Although they all envied Xiao Er's family getting better and better, the simple villagers did not want to see Xiao Er imprisoned.

For a while, before the county magistrate patted the gavel, they stopped discussing, and all ears were waiting for the county magistrate to judge Wang Laifu.

"Wang Laifu, I sentenced you to sixty shovels, Wang Facai's forty shovels, and Wang Zhao's [-] shovels. Can you accept it?" County Magistrate Bai also didn't explain why exile suddenly became criminal responsibility. The villagers knew, The county magistrate lightly sentenced Wang Laifu, which means that the adults will not pursue Xiao Er's murder, but he only hit the board a few times. Before Wang Laifu could speak, the villagers shouted, dissatisfied, dissatisfied!

When County Magistrate Bai saw the general nodding at him, he knew that he was right. "Silence! Come here, and drag the three of them down for execution!"

As soon as these words came out, the villagers of Wangjia Village couldn't help being unconvinced, except for yelling at Wang Laifu and the others, they boldly ran forward to comfort Da Lang and the others.

Because there was nothing else to do with Xiao Er, Butcher Gao took Xiao Er and the others out directly, and the county magistrate Bai didn't dare to stop them from leaving.

But Xiaoer's departure, in the eyes of the third class of yamen servants, the adults are really kind to Wang Xiaoer.

The common people don't know how powerful the torture stick is, but they know that if Wang Laifu is still alive at sixty years old, it will be Wang Laifu's fate.

Butcher Gao was afraid that Xiaoer would not understand how powerful Xing Zhan was, so he walked home without a word and explained to Dalang and Xiaoshan, "Don't think that the county magistrate sentenced Wang Laifu lightly, just get acquainted with me, and the magistrate will do the same." Let his servants beat Wang Laifu hard."

While he was talking, he felt Xiao Er pulling his arm, butcher Gao said, "Xiao Shan, go and bring back our cattle." After speaking, he half-armed Xiao Er and entered the east wing.

This time Xiao Er didn't break free from Butcher Gao's arm, and the butcher watched Xiao Er frown deeply, with a wry smile in his heart.I thought that Xiao Er would accept me, but I didn't think that Xiao Er would compromise because I helped him.

"What's the matter?" Butcher Gao asked as soon as he entered the room.

"I want to ask Fangzheng and Ren Yuan to do something for me." Xiao Er also hesitated while talking.

"Xiaoer, you're offended by saying that." Butcher Gao took the opportunity to put his hands on Xiaoer's shoulders, and looked at him with burning eyes, "One family doesn't talk about each other, what do you want Fangzheng to do for you? Just order it directly."

"One time when I was digging bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest, I met Wang Laifu and the widow in the village. I was alone at the time. I was afraid that Wang Laifu and the widow would join forces to deal with me, so I pretended not to see them and ran away. Now I I want to get rid of Wang Laifu's trouble with others, and get rid of Wang Laifu at once." While talking, Xiao Er hastily said, "Although that widow is hateful, but she doesn't bother me, I just want to... .”

"Xiao Er, you are too kind." Butcher Gao sighed helplessly, "Leave this matter to me."

"No!" Xiao Er saw the evil spirit on Butcher Gao, "I want Fangzheng and Ren Yuan to tell Wang Laifu and the widow in front of Wang Laifu's father-in-law. If they make trouble themselves, it has nothing to do with me. .”

"If they don't make a scene, Wang Laifu won't be happy in this life." Butcher Gao continued.

At the same time, the story of Wang Laifu being beaten half to death by the county magistrate seemed to have grown wings. Before Wang Laifu returned home, the news spread all over the country.

Some people said that the county magistrate was too powerful. As soon as he said this, others said that Wang Laifu was not dead, and no matter how badly injured he was, he would recover one day. If he was exiled to the border, he would never come back for the rest of his life.

People who sympathized with Wang Laifu began to sympathize with Wang Xiaoer as soon as they heard this. The county magistrate did not sentence Wang Laifu lightly because he was afraid that people would say that he knew Wang Xiaoer and that he was favoritism.

Seeing that Wang Laifu had left, County Magistrate Bai was still worried that the people would say that he was a foolish magistrate and judged foolish cases. Hearing what the villagers said about him, he immediately gave a wry smile.It is not easy to be a small county magistrate, and it is even more difficult to be a county magistrate in front of a general.

Just as County Magistrate Bai was sighing with emotion at the couch, Fang Zheng and Ren Yuan also found Wang Laifu's father-in-law.The two of them were not stupid enough to go straight to them and say that your son-in-law is not clear with the widow in his village.

The two said it when they were waiting for each other to see Wang Laifu, and when they passed by, they pretended to discuss the county magistrate's sentence of Wang Laifu, and sympathized with Xiaoer.

One said, "People like Wang Laifu deserve to die!"

One asked, "Why?"

Then he answered, "I heard from the nephew and daughter-in-law of our neighbor's seventh uncle and grandpa that Wang Laifu is not clear with her natal brother's neighbor widow."

One person asked, "Is this true? You can't talk nonsense?"

One person replied, "Many people in Wang's Village know about it, so it's not a big deal. It's just that no one saw it with their own eyes, so the village head Wang can't treat them well."

Ren Yuan still wanted to ask, but saw an old couple next to him run away.

"It's done?" Fangzheng winked, "Isn't this too simple?"

"If it were me, I would kill Wang Laifu in the middle of the night!" Ren Yuan said angrily.

"You are really stupid to say you are stupid. You cut Wang Laifu with a knife, and he didn't know anything when he closed his eyes, so he was too cheap." Fangzheng shook his head, "I only now know how powerful this Wang Xiaoer is!"

"Then tell me, does our general mean that to Xiao Er?"

"It's needless to say, isn't it obvious." The two of them worked in the marshal's mansion before, and they saw many men with men in the capital, but they were slightly surprised that the general with high eyes fell in love with a farmer. The second job, bending the plow, pulling the cart, and scheming people, the two of them accepted without thinking about it.

Just as Wang Laifu's father-in-law's family was desperately rushing to Wang's Village, the aunt whom Xiao Er hadn't seen once a year also ran into Wang Facai's house.

As soon as he entered the door, he told old man Wang that her father was selfish, and he didn't say a word when he saw her mother being beaten.As soon as he said that, he entered the room, and when he saw that Mrs. Wang and Zhao were lying on the bed, she was exhaling too much and not taking in enough air, so she went to find Xiao Er to settle the score.

As soon as she stood up, she was pulled back by his man, and after telling her these things, the aunt Xiao Er began to persuade her mother, "Mother, you are so old and confused, don't bother Xiao Er's family anymore, The county magistrate let you go lightly once, and will not let you go lightly a second time."

"No, never again." Old man Wang promised again and again.

As soon as Old Man Wang finished speaking, the door was kicked open with a "bang".
