The son-in-law of the Lin family beat the young master of the Zheng family.
The thing sounded funny, but when the government officials escorted the person back to the county government office, the county magistrate called him a hottie.
Liu Dabao was severely scolded and told that he shouldn't meddle in such matters.
A reprimand is a reprimand. The person has been taken back to prison and cannot let go.
Magistrate Chai was pacing back and forth in front of the prison door for half the time of burning incense.
The policeman on shift did not dare to speak and waited for a long time.
Someone impatiently asked the master next to him: "Master, is this really so difficult? One is the son-in-law of the Lin family, and the other is the genuine young master of the Zheng family. Doesn't this mean that the son-in-law is going to be sentenced to death?"
The master smiled and said: "So you can only be a yamen servant, but I can be a county magistrate in Youzhou for so many years."
The other party chuckled: "Master, please give me some advice."
"Although the person who beat the person was just a son-in-law, he still represented the Lin family. If the son-in-law was given a harsh sentence, it would satisfy the Zheng family, but it would be a slap in the face of the Lin family. The Zheng family came to Mang County just to participate in the New Year's Appraisal That's all, they will leave in a few days. The Zheng family has left, leaving Mr. Chai to face the Lin family in Mang County. Do you think Mr. Chai's life will be easy in the future?
But if the sentence is light, it will offend the Zheng family. As long as Mr. Zheng gives the governor a piece of cake, Mr. Chai's life will still be difficult. Moreover, Mr. Chai has just managed the epidemic in Mang County. As long as he stabilizes the situation and waits for the emperor's decree, Mr. Chai can be promoted. When something so difficult happens, do you think Mr. Chai is in trouble? "
The police officer also frowned after hearing this and said no more.
The master took a few steps forward and asked in a low voice behind Mr. Chai: "Sir, after thinking about it for so long, you should have a plan, right?"
Magistrate Chai did not answer, but sighed heavily.
"Since it's difficult for adults to make a decision, how about letting a villain make a decision for the adults?"
"Tell me and listen." Magistrate Chai rarely said.
The master smiled and said, "Which is the lesser of two evils. Rather than affecting your promotion, it is better to offend the Lin family. Anyway, I will be promoted soon, and I will not continue to stay in Mang County. Why not give the Zheng family a face and get the son-in-law capital offense……"
After saying this, Master looked at Master Chai's expression with a smile.
Magistrate Chai suddenly sneered: "I have no idea what I am thinking."
"Is it not the question of whether or not to kill that adults are in trouble with? It's..."
"What I'm thinking about is how to protect that boy!"
As soon as these words came out, the master was quite surprised: "Sir, why did you say this? Do you want to go against the Zheng family? Are you just a little son-in-law?"
"That's a good seedling. I don't want to see it die halfway."
"This...is such a troublemaker. Even the young master of the Zheng family dares to beat him at will. Even if he escapes this time, he doesn't know what trouble he will cause next time."
"It is precisely because he dares to do things that we dare not do that he is a rare seedling."
As Magistrate Chai spoke, there was a trace of sadness on his face. He didn't know what he thought of. He gently stroked his beard and whispered: "I think back on those days when my official palace was ranked among the top three. I thought I would be able to flex my muscles to serve the court and the world. Do a good job. I didn’t want to be sent to such a remote and barbaric small county to be a county magistrate because of my poor family background. And those children of aristocratic families whose rankings are far lower than their own officials have now become second-rank officials, and every He will enter the court to listen to the government and guide the country together with the emperor."
"My lord, don't you often say that the current emperor intends to promote poor people... As long as your lord endures your temper, you will one day be reused by the court."
"I still think too simplistically. Even if the emperor intends to promote Hanshi, the leaders of the noble families in the world will not stand idly by. Even the emperor cannot act too hastily and must always consider the mood of the family. The situation between the Hanmen and the nobles has been in a stalemate for several years. Years, and I don’t know when the time will come when the humble family that I think of will be reused by the imperial court."
"What does this matter have to do with the son-in-law?"
"He was born into a poor family and married into a noble family. He is unique in the world. If he can become an official one day, he will have fewer obstacles than other children from poor families, and he may be able to occupy a place among many aristocratic families. The current world of noble families is like a tightly packed egg. , it seems indestructible on the surface, but in fact, all it takes is a small hole to be drilled on its surface, and the world will undergo big changes. Maybe I can ride on the wind in a huge change... Master Liang , haven’t you been waiting for such an opportunity?”
"Having said that, he is just a son-in-law with only medical skills and no literary talents. How can such a person be an official? There are many talented people in the world, and there are many people who are far better than him. Sir Why do you value him alone?"
"There are many talented and learned people in the poor family, but there are only few people who despise the noble family like the son-in-law. Previously in the county government, he could stand in front of his officials without showing fear, but today he has the courage to beat the young master of the Zheng family in the street. , I wonder who among the learned people in the world has this kind of courage? If I had had this decisive heart back then, I would not have ended up in the situation I am in today. If you don’t fight for some things, others will never take you for granted. What you want is given to you. The poor men in the world are like old men. What they lack is not knowledge, but the desire to compete with the nobles. If you don't have enough knowledge, you can learn slowly. If you don't have courage, you can't get it through hard work. "
The master thought thoughtfully: "When it comes to courage, this boy is unique."
"I have the opportunity to resolve the plague this time. If I really have the opportunity to be promoted, I may also be able to meet the emperor. I must recommend this son to the emperor. This son is not the person I want. What I really need is today. Your Majesty! In the hands of your Majesty, this son will definitely speed up the decentralization of power and give more opportunities to the poor people in the world. Therefore, no matter what, I cannot let this son die on the way."
"Since we want to protect you, do you have any plans? The Zheng family is not something that can be fooled casually."
Magistrate Chai shook his head: "We will fight back and forth, and we will still be constrained by the Zheng family and the Lin family. What I want to do is wait for the Zheng and Lin families to send a definite signal. Maybe the Zheng family will really care about the Lin family. For the sake of face, spare this boy once?"
While they were talking, a familiar girl was stopped by the police with a small basket.
The master saw it and smiled: "Isn't that a girl from the Qu family?"
Magistrate Chai nodded: "I should be here to visit the prison."
The master handed over his hand and said goodbye to see Sang Sang.
Not far away, the policeman was scolding harshly: "I told you, you can't visit the prison! Get out of the way quickly, or you will be..."
"Okay, okay..." Master interrupted, "Don't embarrass the little girl, let people go in and take a look."
When the master changed from his normal state, he must have given orders to Mr. Chai to send someone to release him as soon as possible.
Sangsang was so anxious that she didn't care what to say and went in with the basket in hand.
The news that the Lin family's adopted son-in-law beat up the Zheng family's young master has spread throughout the city, and will spread throughout Youzhou in a few days.
The news naturally reached Sangsang's ears.
After learning that Brother Bai had been arrested, Sang Sang had no other choice but to try to visit him in prison to see if there was anything he could do to help him.
After entering the cell, Sang Sang wiped away her tears and asked the cell leader about Brother Bai's situation.
The cell leader was a simple man. Although he found it troublesome, he said clearly: "Don't worry, who doesn't know anything about this case? No one will be stupid enough to torment him until there is a verdict. The Lin family's My son-in-law is also from the Lin family, and he is in the best room, and no one will harass him."
"That's good." Sangsang breathed a sigh of relief and took out a piece of silver, "Brother the cell leader..."
The prison boss shook his head repeatedly: "Hey, little girl, no one dares to interfere with this case. Don't use this thing to harm me. Go see your big brother Bai quickly, and hurry up."
Sang Sang nodded repeatedly and walked all the way to see Bai Song in the innermost cell.
"Brother Bai...wuwu..."
After enduring it all the way, the moment she saw Brother Bai, Sangsang couldn't help it anymore, and tears fell down.
Bai Song was still taking a nap when he suddenly heard Sangsang's voice. He sat up from the wooden bed and saw Xiao Nizi crying outside the cell.
"Sangsang, why are you here?"
"Brother Bai, I came to see you and brought you your favorite chicken soup. I cooked it for you according to your recipe."
You're welcome, Bai Song was really hungry, so he immediately took a bowl of chicken soup and ate it with concentration.
Sangsang watched silently, but her tears couldn't stop flowing.
"Stop crying, your big brother Bai will be fine."
Sangsang sniffed: "But they all said that Brother Bai beat the Zheng family's son and offended the Zheng family, and he will die."
"Don't worry, I am also the son-in-law of the Lin family. Although I am a bride-in-law, I am also a member of the Lin family. Mang County is the territory of the Lin family. If the Lin family cannot keep their uncle in Mang County, the Lin family will be embarrassed. Moreover, the young master of the Zheng family Running rampant in Mang County will also cause dissatisfaction among the people of Mang County. Even considering the stability of Mang County, the Zheng family will not add insult to injury.
The Zheng and Lin families must resolve this matter for the sake of the overall situation. As for me, I will probably get a slap in the face, or they will let me go in two days. "
"real?"
"You still don't believe what Brother Bai said? When did I lie to you?"
"Um!"
Sang Sang really believed it, quickly wiped her tears, and served soup to Brother Bai.
Having said that, who can tell what the final result will be?
However, Bai Song has no regrets. If he can get out alive today, who else in Mang County will dare to talk about him behind his back.
Bai Song is someone who even dares to hit the young master of the Zheng family!
"Sangsang, send a bowl to the person next door."
Niu Da was also arrested and imprisoned in a room next to Bai Song.
Niu Da was seriously injured, but he was tenacious. After resting in prison for a while, he felt much better.
When I saw the chicken soup, I ignored it and started eating it.
Sangsang's visit to the prison was short-lived, and he was soon called away by the cell leader.
Looking at Sang Sang's back, Bai Song said to Niu Da: "If I can't get out, help me take care of Sang Sang's family."
"I don't even know if I can go out..."
"You didn't hit anyone, you were beaten, and you will never be convicted."
"Where are you, my benefactor?"
"Me? I don't care at all. Anyway, I will earn it in this life."
Niu Da didn't understand the meaning of these words. He was stunned for a long time, and then sighed: "Hey, why is my benefactor so reckless? How can the Zheng family be beaten casually?"
"In my eyes, everyone is a human being. If he can hit anyone at will, I can beat him! When I go out, one day I will have a family named Zheng kneel in front of me and beg for mercy! But you You're awesome! He's a well-known ruthless character in Mang County, but he turns out to be just a coward who bullies the weak!"
