"You did it like a dog!"
Huang Fengnian kicked Cao Qing to the ground.
Still not satisfied, he kicked him a few more times.
Kicked and scolded at the same time.
"Mr. Zhao is our benefactor in Yun'an County. Without him, we would all suffer in the face of this plague."
"Now that the plague has just been lifted, you actually want to sue him?"
"It's worse than a beast."
"Magistrate Huang, please listen to my explanation."
Cao Qing did not fight back, and endured the pain and said: "When the villain heard that the plague had not broken out, Zhao Ping started digging for medicinal materials and making medicinal soup."
"After the plague broke out, free consultations and free medicinal soups were provided."
"Even when the village was closed, he threatened to buy the sprouted grain from the villagers of Xiping Village and Xia Village."
"What does he want with sprouted grain?"
"Isn't that a waste of money?"
"And how much money does it cost to purchase so much grain at a fair price?"
"If this were given to us..."
Huang Fengnian's eyes also lit up.
There are nearly 3,000 people in Xiping Village, and each person is allocated two acres of fertile land. The yield per acre is one stone, and one stone is 600 cash, which is more than 3,000 taels of silver.
In addition to Xia Cun's, there is also food from the wasteland cultivated by himself.
If you don’t have ten thousand taels of silver, you can’t do it at all.
Buying those sprouted grains and giving those untouchables free money is really not as good as putting the money into your own pocket.
Huang Fengnian was a little moved.
But he still pretended to be gloomy and said: "Cao Qing, Zhao Ping is the hero of the entire Yun'an County, how can we covet his silver?"
Cao Qing had been paying attention to the changes in Huang Fengnian's face, and the obvious brightening in his eyes did not escape his eyes.
Hearing this, he sneered.
"Hero?"
"I don't think so."
"What's the meaning?"
Huang Fengnian stared at him and asked.
"Magistrate Huang, think about it, throughout the ages, whenever plague breaks out, how many people are usually sick?"
Cao Qing asked.
As a county magistrate, Huang Fengnian has recently checked many records and knows this clearly.
Without thinking, he blurted out, "There may be hundreds of people at most, or dozens of people at least."
"yes."
Cao Qing said: "Plague outbreaks often start in a small area, such as between neighbors or a village."
"Control it in time and it won't break out at all."
"But what about us in Yun'an County?"
"Once the outbreak broke out, almost half of the people in twenty villages in Yun'an County were sick. Is this still a normal plague?"
"Besides, can the plague be cured?"
"If the medical officer really has that ability, our Wei Dynasty will not resort to the atrocity of setting fire to the village when encountering a plague."
"So the villain thinks this plague is man-made."
"Man-made?"
Huang Fengnian grabbed Cao Qing's collar and lifted him up from the ground, "You have a good talk with me, why is it just a man-made thing?"
"Who did it again?"
"Zhao Ping."
Cao Qing said: "It must be Zhao Ping."
"Otherwise, the plague has not spread, how would he know how to cure it?"
"And why are the medicinal materials prepared in advance just enough to suppress the plague?"
"Obviously, he caused the plague."
"Please ask Magistrate Huang to investigate and punish Zhao Ping's crime."
"Why would he do this?"
Huang Fengnian let go of Cao Qing and asked.
"Build your reputation."
Cao Qing said: "The villain heard that Zhao Ping is going to run several workshops and build new houses, so he plans to connect Xia Village and Xiping Village."
"How can he accomplish these things without a good reputation?"
"With his second-rate status, it would be a good thing if we don't beat him to death, so how can we follow him?"
"Only by creating a plague and him being the savior can everyone be convinced."
"Now if you go down and take a look, nine out of ten people will be praising him, Zhao Ping. Who still remembers that he was once a second-rate guy?"
Huang Fengnian did not speak, but paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.
My mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about the pros and cons of this matter.
Benefits, definitely benefits.
At the very least, Zhao Ping's family fortune can be wiped out.
Although I don’t know how much silver Zhao Ping has, he dares to threaten to buy the sprouted grains of the untouchables and build new houses.
It also opened a brewery, textile factory, and escort agency.
These all cost money.
Zhao Ping must have a lot of wealth. If the lawsuit against him is successful, the money will become Huang Fengnian's pocket.
There are also disadvantages.
Zhao Ping made decoctions and distributed them to the untouchables free of charge, which earned him a high reputation.
Once he punishes Zhao Ping, he is likely to arouse public outrage.
But by that time, Huang Fengnian's transfer documents had already been issued.
Just pat your butt and leave, why do you care about public anger?
After careful consideration, Huang Fengnian asked, "Cao Qing, you plan to sue Zhao Ping, what are your chances of winning?"
"Must win."
Cao Qingyan said firmly: "First of all, Zhao Ping is not a medical officer, and he is not qualified to practice medicine and treat diseases."
"This alone can cut off his head."
"Secondly, does he have any official documents for setting up a workshop?"
"Especially when it comes to brewing wine without official documents, and privately wasting food. This crime should be punished by the three tribes."
"In the end, he created a plague, caused panic, and almost killed people in a county. This alone can kill all nine of his tribes."
Huang Fengnian nodded, "You are right."
"Without official documents, Zhao Pingping cured diseases, opened wineries and textile factories, and killed the Nine Tribes."
"Cao Qing, you go back as soon as possible to prepare the petition. Let's arrest the villain Zhao Ping and hold him accountable."
We must hurry up.
If the transfer document comes through, he will move his position.
By that time, Yun'an County is no longer up to him, and it will be very difficult to embezzle Zhao Ping's money.
"Magistrate Huang, I have another unkind request..."
When Cao Qing saw Huang Fengnian agreed, the big stone hanging on his chest fell.
Then he came closer and said with a smile.
"If I can tell you anything at once and I can promise you, I will try my best to promise it."
Now that the two of them were unanimously targeting Zhao Ping, they were like a grasshopper on a rope. Huang Fengnian's tone of voice became a bit softer.
"The villain is also a medical officer, and he also wants to take a step forward."
Cao Qing said: "Can we let villains settle in the county government and become official doctors?"
Although medical officers are also officials, they have no rank and no real power in their hands.
The only advantage is that you don't have to kneel down in court.
The medical officer of the county government is an official doctor, ninth grade.
Although he has no real power, he is a serious official.
Not only does he have an appointment document, but he can also receive a salary from the court. He is a person who truly eats the royal food.
Cao Qing has long coveted that position.
However, the Feng family was so powerful that he couldn't afford to offend him.
Now that the Feng family has collapsed, there is a vacancy for the county medical officer, and he can just fill it.
And this thing is not difficult. Huang Fengnian only needs to issue an appointment document, stamp it with the official seal, and then report it to the county seat, and the county warden will stamp it with the official seal.
"Can."
Huang Fengnian agreed, but in his heart he was quite disdainful.
Official doctor?
What a beautiful thought.
A mouth with red lips and white teeth, you can have it if you want it, right?
After Zhao Ping is punished, he will be transferred.
If you behave well, I may submit an appointment document to you.
If nothing happens, it doesn't matter if you are Cao Qing or Ma Qing, I only care about money.
…
Zhao Ping didn't know this.
After making frosting sugar and soap, Liu Mengru worked hard at night and had a good sleep.
As soon as I got up and had dinner in the morning, a government servant came over.
He also knew the yamen officer, his name was Zhang He.
He's a class leader.
He was the one who led the raid on Hu Xingye's house before.
I also had dinner at my own home.
When treating the cold a few days ago, Zhang He did his best.
I am sick and busy.
Zhao Ping had a very good impression of him. When he saw him coming, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Bantou Zhang, what kind of fragrant wind brings you here?"
"Have you eaten yet? How about I ask my wife to stew a rabbit for you?"
"Mr. Zhao, why are you thinking about eating?"
Zhang He said angrily: "You are in big trouble, do you know?"
"Um?"
Zhao Ping was stunned for a moment, "What's the big deal?"
"Cao Qing wants to sue you."
Zhang He said: "Early this morning, before you went to court, the county master ordered me to come to Xiping Village to arrest you and bring you to justice."
"I asked him what was going on, and he said that Cao Qing was suing you, and the evidence was conclusive, and he wanted to send you to jail."
"Let me come here as soon as possible to prevent you from escaping."
"Mr. Zhao, you have saved the entire villagers in Yun'an County and are our great hero. I will pretend I have not seen you."
"You should quickly take your family and escape."
"What?"
Zhao Ping was confused, "Cao Qing sued me?"
"What did he sue me for?"
"I don't know the specifics."
Zhang He shook his head and said, "I also wrote a special pleading paper. It's a big, densely packed piece of paper, and it's all about your crimes."
"We even asked for witnesses."
"Fortunately, I came here to capture you. If it had been anyone else, you wouldn't have had a chance to escape."
"I'll go to the village head to look after some people for you. You hurry up and pack your things."
After saying that, Zhang He turned around and left.
"Wait, Team Leader Zhang, please wait a moment."
Zhao Ping hurriedly stopped him.
"Is there anything else?" Zhang He asked.
"I won't run away."
Zhao Ping said: "Since Huang Fengnian asked you to capture me, if I escape, you will at least get a slap in the face when you go back. In more serious cases, you may even be implicated and lose your life."
"Besides, I haven't committed any crime and I dare to go to court with Cao Qing."
"But once you escape, you will become guilty even if you are not guilty."
"You are not afraid?"
Zhang He wondered: "Magistrate Huang only recognizes money and not people. Even if you save the people in the county, as long as you don't take money, he will kill you on demand without any politeness."
"Hahaha, don't worry, I know what's going on."
"You wait for me outside for a while, I will make some arrangements and then go to the county office with you."
Hearing this, Zhao Ping laughed.
It’s good to recognize money.
He still had tens of thousands of taels of silver in his arms.
If you exchange it for copper coins, you can knock Huang Fengnian unconscious.
After sending Zhang He away, Zhao Ping returned to the courtyard and was surrounded by everyone.
Wenhui held his hand and cried into tears.
"Ms. sir, what exactly did you commit? Why did Cao Qing sue you?"
"Listening to what Zhang Bantou said, my husband's crime has been confirmed. How about we pack up our things and run for our lives?"
escape?
Where to escape?
As a time-traveler, it would be too embarrassing for the time-travelers to just run for their lives when encountering such a dog officer.
What's more, Zhao Ping has established his own base here, so this is his base camp, and he will not escape at any cost.
Xia Quan, on the other hand, was a little calmer and could come up with a rough idea.
He said with a gloomy face: "Then Cao Qing is not a good person. He always likes to throw dirty water on others no matter what."
"I'm afraid this time he saw Brother Ping solve the plague and his credit was too high. He felt jealous, so he sued Brother Ping."
"I'm going to kill that dog now."
"Without the accuser, Brother Ping's case will naturally disappear."
Yun Man and others were eager to try.
They all wanted to follow Xia Quan and kill Cao Qing.
Liu Mengru was the worst.
Pulling out a stick, she immediately resumed her posture as a female general and said sternly: "My lord, don't be afraid."
"Whoever dares to touch you, I will kill him."
The only weird one is Qian Liu.
He silently ran to move the wine jar, completely looking like he was running for his life.
