When the adult glared, he naturally showed no anger and authority.
Anyone who is called up early in the morning and told that there is a lot of work that has not been completed will not be in a good mood.
But Suzhou Governor Liu Fang Liu thought about it carefully and felt something strange.
Although Suzhou Prefecture cannot be called Shanghai Yan Shengping, nor does it close its doors at night without picking up leftovers on the road, it can still be regarded as a clean and bright government, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Why are there so many people coming to report to the government today?
The Yamen Hall shouted loudly, and Mr. Liu Fang sat in the middle and wrote the case, ready to start the trial.
"Sir, the wall outside the door was splashed with paint!" A government servant walked quickly into the hall and said to Liu Fang.
"Huh?" Liu Fang was stunned when he heard this, and then became furious.
"Where did the bold and unruly people come from, and they actually brought trouble to the government? Do you really think that I, the governor of Suzhou, is just a decoration!?"
Mr. Liu Fang followed the yamen servant to the outside of the yamen. When the people outside saw Mr. Fu Yin coming out in official uniform, they knelt down to say hello.
Liu Fang said no courtesy, and then he saw the shocking wall on the left.
Red is always bright and often associated with the word beauty.
If you don’t believe it, look at the rouge on the lips of the girls on the street, as well as those red apples and tomatoes, which always make people feel happy inside.
However, the red paint on the wall now has nothing to do with the word "beautiful".
It's even a little disgusting, even disgusting.
Like blood spilled on bluestone.
Neither Qi Zhen nor Yu Liang have any talent for things like painting.
Not to mention Lin Xiao.
Therefore, it is impossible for three people to do street graffiti like Li San, let alone Meng Ran, whose painting skills are close to professional.
The red paint on the wall was obviously thrown on by someone carrying a bucket.
Even where you were standing when you splashed can be judged by the traces of paint on the wall.
It seems that the water was not poured clean once, and it was poured a second time, but it was not wasted.
And whether it was due to confidence or laziness, Qi Zhen and the others didn't even dispose of the wooden buckets after the paint had been poured on them, they just placed them aside casually.
After all, he was not born to be a thief. Compared with Li San, he was far behind.
Lord Liu Fang's beard trembled slightly because he was angry.
"Bold...really too bold."
Indeed, let alone recent years, even since the beginning of this dynasty, we have never heard of such incredible things.
With the oil barrel as evidence, even tracing the source will save a lot of work.
The oil drums are from a lacquerware shop, and there are only two or three lacquerware shops in the entire Suzhou city.
Shopkeeper Zhang has thrown himself into a trap.
So when Shopkeeper Zhang came to Liu Fang, Mr. Fu Yin, who had only taken a sip of tea, almost spit out the tea in his mouth.
Shopkeeper Zhang naturally came to report to the official.
Two walls with two different patterns made Suzhou Prefect Liu Fang feel something was wrong.
Maybe it was done by one person?
The governor of Suzhou immediately ordered his most capable team leader to investigate the subsequent events.
He sat on the main seat and began to deal with the next case.
The complaint for the first case was handed in.
Around the government office and on the streets, there are scholars who write official documents and complaints for a living, and they must be making a lot of money today.
The complaint was submitted to Liu Fang. Liu Fang looked at it carefully and found that it was just a small case, but for some reason, it was ranked first.
The yamen officer quickly brought the person who complained to the lobby.
"Who is here, and what grievances are there?" Liu Fang asked.
"The villain lives in the south of the city. His name is Zhao Si. I don't know when last night, the chickens he raised disappeared. The villain had obviously closed the door of the chicken coop, but when he woke up early in the morning, they were all gone."
"Oh? Then you reported it to the official? If you reported it to the official, I will take note of it. After I find out, I will naturally return your chicken."
Liu Fang was talking and thinking about stealing chickens in the middle of the night. What is this?
"I'm reporting to you, sir. I'm not here to report to the government, but ordinary people are here to complain." Zhao Si said.
"Oh? So you know who stole your chicken?" Liu Fang was stunned for a moment and asked.
"My lord, it was Liu Er next door who stole it." Zhao Si said with certainty without looking up.
"How did you know it was Liu Er who stole it?" Liu Fang asked.
"Sir, the common people get up early every morning to let the chickens out of the coop. I woke up early today and found that the chicken coop was empty. I panicked, but then I heard the crow of the chicken. It was just across the wall. I climbed up the wall and took a look. My chicken is in his yard, do you think he stole it?" Zhao Si said hurriedly.
"Bold! Are you asking me or am I asking you?" Liu Fang patted the gavel, which frightened Zhao Si below.
"Sir, those chickens are the livelihood of the poor family, please make the decision!" Zhao Si hurriedly knelt down, feeling extremely unjust.
Liu Fang pondered for a few seconds and then said to the Yamen servant: "Pass it to Liu Er."
Liu Er was waiting at the yamen gate, acting very confident about things he had never done.
Liu Er walked into the hall, knelt down, kowtowed, and called "Sir."
"Liu Er, Zhao Si accuses you of stealing chickens, can you plead guilty?" Liu Fang was shocked and showed no anger.
Liu Er stood up and said, "Sir, I don't recognize you."
"Oh? Do you have a secret?"
"Sir, there is actually no hidden secret. Think about it, if I steal a chicken in the middle of the night, can I just leave it in my yard and wait for him to find it? Besides, I haven't gotten up when he called me, how could I steal it? Chicken?"
Liu Er said with an innocent look on his face.
"Snapped!"
Liu Fang's face was filled with anger as he smacked down the gavel heavily.
"You are a bold and unreasonable person with a glib tongue. You are so unreasonable. Come on!"
"exist!"
"Take this unruly man behind bars and beat him ten times!"
The lot was thrown at Liu Er's feet. Liu Er was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
"Sir! It's unfair, sir! I really didn't steal the chicken!"
The yamen officer dragged Liu Er down, and after a while, the sound of hitting a board was heard from outside, as well as Li Er's heart-rending shouts.
Although Liu Fang's face was very angry, he actually understood in his heart that this chicken was definitely not stolen by Liu Er. However, how could such a thing be traced back to its origin, and how could it be revealed?
After a while, Liu Er was brought to the court with his buttocks bruised and bruised, still shouting that he was wronged.
Liu Fang said to Zhao Si: "Now I'm venting my anger on you. Take the chicken home and raise it for good. Don't throw it away again."
Then he turned to Liu Er and said, "Since it's your first offense, only ten slaps is considered a small punishment. I hope you will be a good person in the future and don't do such sneaky things again. You can be convinced."
Liu Er nodded with a painful look on his face.
After the two went out of the hall, Liu Fang took a sip of tea on the table and waited for the second case.
When he saw the accuser, even Liu Fang had to stand up to greet him.
In addition to He Yuan, local wealthy households also have the title of He Bancheng.
No matter whether it is Suzhou's local relief or taxes, no one can match it.
He Yuanwai was nearly seventy years old, but his face was full of anger at this time.
During the night, everything in He Yuanwai's house was smashed to pieces. When he woke up, all the porcelain fragments were piled neatly into a small mountain in front of the bed.
No one in the household noticed it! ?
"Liu Fang, how do you manage Suzhou, huh?" He Yuanwai was furious at this time. He didn't look like he was here to complain, but more like he was here to fight.
"Brother He, calm down." Liu Fang comforted him.
Liu Fang immediately said that he would solve the case within a few days, and asked three government servants to accompany Yuan He to collect evidence, and finally invited the God of Wealth to leave the government office.
Liu Fang sat on the main seat, took another sip of tea, and then sighed deeply.
So strange.
The third case is even more strange.
The person who complained was the shopkeeper of Shixiang Tower in Suzhou City.
Shixiang Restaurant is one of the best restaurants in Suzhou. It is very famous in Suzhou and has even become a must-visit place for tourists. Especially the chef's lion head recipe is famous in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
In addition to the fixed meals at lunch and evening every day, Shixianglou also prepares breakfast for early tourists and merchants.
This morning, as soon as Shixiang Tower opened its doors, such a strong man was welcomed.
This man was about 27 or 28 years old, and his accent sounded like a local from Suzhou. He said nothing when he entered Shixiang Building, found a table to sit down, and began to tell the names of the dishes.
There are some dishes that even the shopkeeper has never heard of.
The shopkeeper said that firstly, it was too early, and secondly, the things you wanted were indeed hard to find. How about you try something else?
As a result, the strong man said that you should pick up the good ones and make them, as the money is indispensable to you.
The shopkeeper also welcomed the person who was sent to become a spirit. He said that it would be no problem. Please pay some money in advance. After all, you are only one person. Don't make it difficult for us to know Xianglou.
This person was not polite and took it out directly from his pocket...
Take a kitchen knife and chop it on the table. Even if you say you want to do it, you won’t do it?
The shopkeeper said sorry, why don't you go to another place?
It was difficult to hit the smiling man with a fist, but this man was not pretentious. He sat directly outside the door of the restaurant with the kitchen knife. He poked the kitchen knife to his side and blocked the door without moving.
There was no business at this time. When the guests who came to dine saw such a ferocious door god, they naturally took a detour.
When the shopkeeper finally couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to come forward to argue, he found that this big man was actually... asleep.
The shopkeeper woke him up and said that you can't block the guests in our place, we still have business to do.
The strong man was stunned for a moment, then asked the shopkeeper, where is this place?
The shopkeeper said this is Shixiang Tower.
The strong man said that I was killing pigs well in the morning at home, why did I come here?
The shopkeeper said, "If you ask me, who should I ask?"
The strong man thought for a long time and finally said that I would go back.
The shopkeeper said that I had delayed the entire breakfast, but I didn't get any money, so you can't leave easily.
The strong man said screw it, pushed the shopkeeper down on the steps, turned around and left.
The shopkeeper became angrier and angrier as he thought about it, so he came to the Yamen and complained.
Liu Fang ordered the butcher to be brought in for questioning.
After listening to the shopkeeper's description of his appearance, the government officials said that they were all neighbors who could not be seen looking up in Suzhou. There was no reason why they didn't know who it was. After a while, they brought the butcher to the hall.
As a result, the butcher was stunned. He only said that the shopkeeper delayed him from killing the pig. As for how he got to Shixiang Tower and what the story was, he could only answer in two words.
forget.
Liu Fang was shocked by this. He asked the butcher's neighbors and found out that the butcher had no history of hysteria.
This is strange.
When a judge is judging a case, especially a trivial matter like this, of course, the main method is to use peace with the mud as the main method. Educate everyone, comfort them, and let the butcher accompany the shopkeeper of Xianglou. The two money will be over.
Two more cases were adjudicated, and it was noon in the blink of an eye.
Liu Fang asked his yamen servants, how many people were behind?
The yamen officer said that to be honest with you, there are more and more people outside, and the number will continue to increase. Looking at this situation, maybe half the people in Suzhou City are here.
Liu Fang looked livid, said something nonsense, turned around and left the Yamen. Before leaving, he did not forget to tell the Yamen to present all the pleadings of these people to him. It was too slow to judge the case in this way.
