"This girl is the third daughter of General Li Yukun, the left-wing general of the Tianshi Army, and a third-grade official! Although we are not under the same control, but you want me to kneel down for you, a third-grade official, for you, a fourth-grade official? Can you bear it?" Li Hanyan shouted loudly. .
When Lin Tianrui heard this, his head buzzed, and he thought to himself, what is going on? Why is this living king of hell here too?
No one informed me beforehand! Regardless of her father or her status, it’s not easy to offend herself!
Lin Tianrui hurriedly clasped his fists
"It turns out to be Miss Li. I'm sorry that I didn't see it clearly. Magistrate Zhang, what are you waiting for? Why don't you bring Miss Li a chair?" Zhang Chi thought, she didn't tell me her identity either?
I thought she was a maid!
"Come on, people, what are you looking for? You haven't given me a seat yet?"
"Yes!" A police officer brought a chair and placed it next to Li Hanyan. Li Hanyan was not polite and sat next to Zhao Xuanyi!
Lin Tianrui coughed
"Zhixian Zhang, what is going on today? Why are Mr. Zhao and Miss Li here? Could it be that your unfair handling of the case has made these two adults dissatisfied? In this case, it is your fault!"
"Oh my Lord Lin, I'm just a little official, how dare I do this? It's not like some soldiers came to collect cabbages in our local area a while ago. As a result, these soldiers bullied the people and lowered the price. I know the letter, and this We just tidied up, but who knew these two adults would be here?" Zhang Chi said sadly.
Zhao Xuanyi felt funny in his heart, these two people played double act well! When acting in front of me, Zhao Xuanyi watched quietly without saying a word. What else can you perform?
"Is this happening?" Lin Tianrui was full of surprise and turned to look at Zhao Xuanyi
"Mr. Zhao, are everything Zhang Zhixian said true?" Zhao Xuanyi sighed.
"Brother Shen, I'm too lazy to waste words. You tell him!"
"Yes!" Shen Wei said everything from beginning to end. After hearing this, Lin Tianrui nodded.
"Zhixian Zhang, now that both of you are insisting on your own opinions, it seems that you can only listen to what your local farmers have to say? Do you have any witnesses?"
"Yes! I have asked my subordinates to invite you. Mr. Lin, please take a seat. Let's settle this matter together!" Zhang Chi said with a smile.
"Forget it, I'm just a spectator today. You should be the judge. I will supervise from the side. If you are unfair, don't blame me for punishing you!" Lin Tianrui said harsh words, with integrity written all over his butt, and then sat down. Got it!
Soon after, several detectives led several farmers into the lobby, and Zhang Chi shouted loudly:
"Are you the farmers who sold vegetables to the military camp?"
"Yes, yes...!" A group of people all knelt on the ground and kowtowed! Zhang Chi nodded
"Well, I want to ask you, why are you suing those military men who buy vegetables? I advise you to think carefully before you say anything. If you dare to expire, I will be careful!" An old man in his sixties said.
"Yes, we don't dare. Sir, originally it was like this. Those group of military lords came to collect vegetables in our city. As soon as we heard about it, we ran to prepare to sell the vegetables. But you also know, sir, that we are all of this age. Yeah, it’s not easy to grow vegetables all year round!”
"Every day, we face the loess and turn our backs to the sky, and the sea water falls to the ground and smashes eight petals. We earn these hard-earned money. We sell them to them at four cents per cabbage, but they actually say that this is for the national army. Those who eat this vegetable We are all soldiers who protect our country and protect our lives and work in peace and contentment, so this is a way to make it cheaper for us!"
"But who knew that this was not a negotiation at all. After they wrote the contract, they directly asked us to press our fingerprints. Just like that, we signed the contract in a daze. The more we thought about it, the more things seemed wrong, so everyone jointly signed these contracts. A military commander is going to court!" After the old man finished speaking, several other older people nodded their heads. It seemed that what the old man said was very correct!
After Zhang Chi heard this, a proud smile appeared on his face, and he turned to look at Zhao Xuanyi who was standing aside.
"Mr. Zhao, I think you understand these things, right? Do you still need me to explain it to you?" Zhao Xuanyi shook his head.
"No need to explain, I can understand, but I have a few questions to ask these people. Is this okay?"
"Of course, you're welcome!" Zhang Chi waved his hand and said casually. Zhao Xuanyi turned to look at the group of farmers. They all had dark skin and wrinkles on their faces. He saw the dirt under their fingernails, because they must be real farmers.
"Uncle, are you saying that you were forced to sell cabbage for two cents per cabbage when you were fingerprinted by Qianxing? I would like to ask, are you selling cabbage for four cents per cabbage now?"
"Of course, we have worked hard for a year to grow it. If there is a natural or man-made disaster, there may be no harvest. How could we remember it wrong?" The old man said with a serious face.
"Has it always been this price? Hasn't it changed?"
"No! We have had this price since two months ago and it has never changed!"
"Oh, that's it! But...my men just bought a batch of cabbage three days ago!" Zhao Xuanyi looked at Shen Wei, and Shen Wei took out a few contracts and placed them in the hands of the master in the court.
"Please take a look at Magistrate Zhang and Mr. Lin. These are the vegetables we bought in Ping'an City three days ago. The price is clearly marked on it, three cents for two. It is even cheaper than what the soldiers we sent bought. It can be seen from here that, These farmers are lying!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted loudly.
Zhang Zhixian and Lin Tianrui took a look at a few contracts. They clearly wrote three cents and two coins in black and white on the paper. Isn't this just shooting themselves in the foot?
Zhang Chi turned to look at Lin Tianrui. Lin Tianrui turned his eyes left and right and looked up at the farmers below.
"You two think carefully before talking, don't talk nonsense, what's going on with this vegetable price?" After hearing this, several farmers hurriedly turned their attention to Zhao Xuanyi.
"He is the one selling the land to a farmer secretly and lowering the price to frame us poor people. Please make the decision for us!" Several farmers squeezed out a few tears after speaking, and it sounded like they were telling the truth. .
Zhao Xuanyi laughed loudly after hearing this
"I told some uncles, when did I say that I only bought vegetables from one farmer? I have nine contracts in total, and I have purchased farmland in the east, west, north, and south of Ping'an City. I am very curious as to why we bought it. It’s cheaper than your original contract, but you say the price you gave is lower?”
"Is it possible that the price of goods in your safe city is based on the identity of the buyer? Ordinary people buy two cabbages for three cents, while soldiers buy one for four cents. You are clearly defrauding the country's money. You have How many heads are enough to chop off?" Zhao Xuanyi shouted loudly.
This sentence frightened several farmers to the point where they knelt on the ground one by one, trembling all over and not daring to say a word. Some farmers raised their heads and looked at Zhang Chi in the hall, probably wanting to see what he would do?
Zhang Chi and Li Hanrui looked at each other, and then Lin Tianrui spoke.
"Mr. Zhao, what is written in your contract is true, but in my opinion, this thing may not be evidence of the difference between the front and back of this vegetable!" Zhao Xuanyi frowned after hearing this
"What do you mean, Mr. Lin? The vegetables my men and I bought were all in Ping'an City, and the price was twice as surprising. This can't be used as evidence? How do you explain this?" Lin Tianrui smiled slightly.
leisurely
"Master Zhao, please don't worry. Listen to me. Look, your subordinate Sun Yan signed the contract a month ago, right? And you only signed the contract a few days ago, right?"
"Not bad!" Lin Tianrui smiled
"That's it! Everyone knows that vegetables and fruits are most valuable when they are just born. If an apple is picked just after it is ripe, it will not taste as good as if it is picked after one month of maturity. Well, it is reasonable that the price has deteriorated!”
"So when you bought the vegetables, they were just ripe. At that time, there were not as many vegetables as there are now. But now these vegetables are cheaper because there are more yields. If you don't sell them, in less than a month, they will be gone. They all rot in the ground, instead of rotting in the ground they can be sold cheaply!"
"So the two contracts before and after were negotiated based on time. Your so-called evidence cannot be established at all, and the price you mentioned cannot be compared with the price a month ago! This cannot mean that your subordinates are hiding it from you and bullying the people and lowering the price. , taking the opportunity to line their own pockets, no one knows about this!" After Lin Tianrui said this, Zhang Chi applauded in his heart, Xin Dao is indeed a person who can sit in the position of a fourth-grade official, this mouth is really powerful, tepid He destroyed the other party’s strong evidence, and it’s not even possible to refuse to accept it!
After Zhao Xuanyi heard this, he thought that this person who looked as fat as a pig was really not simple!
Although his conclusion cannot be completely proved, he has to admit that his theory is correct!
Zhao Xuanyi frowned. Lin Tianrui saw Zhao Xuanyi was silent and smiled on his face
"Mr. Zhao? What do you think?" After hearing this, Zhao Xuanyi felt a little angry. He thought that Lin Tianrui could not come here by such a coincidence. It must have been arranged by Ye Yaoming. Unexpectedly, this person was not a regular.
"Master Lin, I would like to ask my two detainees to come out for questioning, is that okay?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
Lin Tianrui smiled and looked at Zhang Chi
"Zhang Zhixian, this is your yamen, you can speak!" Zhang Chi smiled, thinking that you are already at your wits end, what should I be afraid of you for?
"Come here, bring the two suspects!"
"Yes!" It was not long before Sun Yan and Tang Tianli were brought up. They were wearing prison uniforms but did not have handcuffs on their hands. When they came to the lobby, they saw Zhao Xuanyi coming and their eyes widened in surprise. eyes.
"Sir? Why are you here?" Tang Tianli asked.
"Sir, are you injured?" Sun Yan asked hurriedly. Zhao Xuanyi waved his hand to indicate that he was fine
"You haven't come to see Zhang Zhixian and Mr. Lin yet!" Upon hearing this, Tang Tianli and Sun Yan realized that now was not the time to gossip, so they hurriedly knelt down to see the two adults!
Zhang Chi smiled when he saw how miserable they were.
"The two of you will tell you honestly today how you bullied the people and lowered the price so that they could sell you vegetables that originally cost four cents for two cents?"
"What?" Sun Yan raised his head, his eyes filled with anger.
"It's nonsense. We already agreed at the beginning that it was only two cents a piece, and it was written clearly in black and white!"
"This is just your one-sided statement, but that's not what the farmers next to you said. Let me tell you, farmers, look at it. Were these two people bullying you and forcing you to press your fingerprints on the contract?" Zhang Chi asked with a smile.
Several old men looked at these two people and nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, they asked us to go ahead and forcefully sign the contract. If we didn't want to, they threatened us, saying that if we didn't sign, they would beat us!" Several old men said righteously.
When Tang Tianli and Sun Yan heard this, they were ready to kill these old guys. They were so angry that their eyes were bloodshot and they were burning with anger.
"I said you people, you have lived such a long life to accumulate some virtue for yourselves, and you just talk such nonsense for a little money. Do you still have a conscience?" Tang Tian was so strong that he shouted angrily!
Zhang Chi picked up the gavel and patted it on the table a few times
"Shenjing, I said you are still a suspect. What crime do you deserve if you threaten them like this? Take me out, give me a big slap in the face, and roar in front of the court. How can you behave like this?"
"Me?" Tang Tianli wanted to say something else, but when he saw Zhao Xuanyi closing his eyes and concentrating on the side, he seemed to have no intention of helping him. Tang Tianli rolled his eyes and asked, "What happened to Master Xindao today?"
Why didn't you say a word? Tang Tianli was pulled away in full view of everyone. He was hit with ten boards in a row. After the beating, he was dragged back again. When he came back, everyone's heart sank. Tang Tianli's back and buttocks were covered with blood.
It seemed that the person who hit the board didn't hold back his hands and used 100% of his strength to hit it. Sun Yan asked hurriedly.
"How are you? Are you okay?" Tang Tianli shook his head
"Worse than a military stick! Don't talk nonsense!" Tang Tianli knew that he had fallen into a trap. These farmers were deliberately slandering him. The more he said now, the more mistakes he made. If he handed everything over to Zhao Xuanyi, he would definitely There is a way!
Zhang Chi looked at Zhao Xuanyi on the side, smiled secretly in his heart, and stopped talking? Not crazy anymore? You know who has the final say here?
"I said Mr. Zhao, what do you think about this matter? Do you have any new evidence? Let's bring it out together? You must not be polite. After all, you are also General Li Yukun's son-in-law. Of course we have to take it seriously. Handle it, right?" After Zhang Chi finished speaking, he smiled arrogantly. The reason why Zhang Chi dared to do this was because he had now relied on the big tree of Uncle Guo. He thought to himself, I have a background, who am I afraid of you?
Zhao Xuanyi slowly opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Chi
"Zhixian Zhang, I think there will be no result if this matter is re-examined. You, my subordinates, and these farmers all have their own opinions. I think we might as well come up with a way to get the best of both worlds. You see. How about it?" Zhang Chi and Lin Tianrui looked at each other, both of them were a little strange, thinking what did Zhao Xuanyi want to do?
Give up? Don't dare to play anymore? Are you going to compromise? The two showed satisfied expressions
"What do you mean by that?" Zhang Chi asked with a smile.
