Zhou Yi played mahjong leisurely in the backyard for half an hour, while Ye Wuhua and others also knelt down in the hall for half an hour.
After kneeling on the ground for half an hour, Ye Wuhua and everyone else's feet became numb, and they all fell to the ground in a staggered manner.
Fortunately, Guo Laosi from the Guo family didn't follow him. His knee was already injured. If he had to kneel for half an hour, his injured leg would probably be useless.
Just when Ye Wuhua and others were wailing to the sky, a voice came from the inner hall, "The county magistrate has arrived, ascend to the hall!"
The awkward government officials standing on both sides immediately became solemn and shouted again: "Mighty~"
At this time, Ye Wuhua and others realized that they had been tricked after kneeling for half an hour. As for who the culprit was, they could tell with just their toes that it was the county magistrate who instigated it.
Now that the hall was really going up, Ye Wuhua and the others could only hold on and continue to kneel down peacefully.
Suddenly, the gavel in the hall snapped, and a sound like thunder exploded.
"Who is in the hall? What do you mean by beating the drum of injustice?"
Ye Wuhua, the head of the Ye family, and Ye Jianrong, the chief shopkeeper, felt that the voice sounded familiar, and raised their heads and looked up as they spoke.
"The villain Ye Wuhua, the head of the Ye family, is here to sue..."
"you you..."
Ye Wuhua was dumbfounded. The county magistrate in front of him was Zhouyi. Isn't this "Li Feiyu"!
Although he had only seen it twice, Ye Wuhua could recognize "Li Feiyu" when he turned into ashes.
"Isn't Li Feiyu the county magistrate in Pingliang County? Could it be that he felt that Pingliang County was poor, so he secretly changed with the county magistrate named Zhou Yi?"
The more Ye Wuhua thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was correct.
Bang~ There was another loud bang!
Zhou Yi shouted: "You are a bold and unruly person. Do you know that if you sue an official, you will be guilty first?"
"Come here, give this unruly man fifty lashes first!"
When Ye Wuhua heard this, he was immediately frightened and half of his life was lost. As for the other half of his life, I'm afraid it would be gone after another fifty lashes.
Ye Wuhua, who had just been arrested by the government officials, quickly explained: "No, no, I am not suing you, sir. I...I...I was ecstatic after seeing you."
"Yes... I'm ecstatic!"
Zhou Yi waved his hand, and the two government officials let go of Ye Wuhua.
"Hurry up and tell me what grievances you have and who you want to sue!"
Ye Wuhua was about to cry at this moment. Wang Defa beside him poked Ye Wuhua with his finger and asked him to seize the time to tell the situation about himself and others.
What else are you talking about! He was the one who sent people to grab the food, and he was the one who reported to the officials now!
No wonder Ye Wuhua looked so familiar to the cow from the grain transport team of the state-owned grain store when he saw it before. It turned out that the cow was really his own.
Ye Wuhua could only say with a sad face: "Reporting to Mr. Qingtian, our Ye family was working hard at home today. Then Guo Dongkui of the Guo family, Guo Laosi and a group of people rushed into my village and faced me, the people of Yejiazhuang. A violent beating."
"Sir, look, I, the shopkeeper of the Ye family, Ye Jianrong, was beaten so hard that I only have three teeth left!"
Ye Jianrong, who had met "Li Feiyu", opened his mouth very cooperatively at this moment, revealing his only three remaining teeth, and pointed at Guo Dongkui, the head of the Guo family, with a knowing voice.
When Wang Defa and his group were robbed by Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi all wore a nine-tube mask, so they had never seen Li Feiyu's true face, so they couldn't understand why Ye Wuhua suddenly changed his mind.
"That's not right, Master Ye, we are not here to plead grievances for this matter!" Wang Defa said very dismissively.
Ye Wuhua fell to the ground directly,
Zhou Yi had seen Ye Wuhua's awareness of current affairs, but he didn't expect him to be so aware of current affairs! He actually had such courage that he didn't even want to give up the stolen food.
"Guo Dongkui, why did you lead people into Yejiazhuang and hurt them like this!" Zhou Yi turned around and asked.
When Guo Dongkui looked confused, Wang Defa, the head of the Wang family, shouted: "Sir, we are not here with such a big fanfare just for this trivial matter!"
"Oh? It's still a small thing to hurt someone, so tell me about the big thing you say!"
Wang Defa directly replaced Ye Wuhua and began to tell everyone's grievances, saying how wronged he and the others were, and how cruel and cruel "Li Feiyu" was.
"Master Wang said, are you going to sue Li Feiyu for stealing your food?"
Wang Defa and others who were kneeling in the hall nodded together and told how much food had been robbed from their homes.
"Then Master Ye, was your family's food also robbed by Li Feiyu?"
Ye Wuhua quickly shook his head and said: "Food? What kind of food? This year's famine and drought have caused the emperor to order a tax exemption for one year. We, Yejiazhuang, have no food at all!"
The wise Li Xiuliang said quickly: "Master Ye, what's wrong with you? Have you forgotten that it was your Ye family that bought the most grain from the state-owned grain store?"
Ye Wuhua quickly denied it three times: "I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"
Zhou Yi was very satisfied with Ye Wuhua's performance and asked the other family heads: "Which Li Feiyu are you going to sue?"
Wang De said swornly: "Replying to your lord, what I want to sue is the magistrate of Pingliang County, the former bandit leader Li Feiyu, who stole all our food!"
Zhou Yi slapped the gavel again and shouted loudly: "You have to think clearly, that Li Feiyu is also an official of the imperial court now. If he sues the superiors and the people sue the officials, he will be whipped fifty times!"
Wang Defa, Li Xiuliang and other family members looked at each other and nodded firmly. They did not notice Ye Wuhua winking at them at all.
"Yes, sir. The one I am going to sue is Pingliang County Magistrate Li Feiyu."
"Let me write down the punishment of whipping first. You say that Magistrate Li Feiyu sent people to rob you and others. Do you have any evidence? If there is conclusive evidence, I will impeach Li Feiyu even if I sue His Majesty!"
Li Gang, a housekeeper of the Li family who went to deliver food with Ye Jianrong, raised it up without hesitation and said: "You are really an eyewitness. They who robbed our food were carrying a bloody calendar flag. I remember it very clearly!"
Zhou Yi pretended to be surprised and said: "Is this really true? Please show me the blood-colored calendar flag painting!"
Originally, Ji Bochang's master Huang Ming and Zhou Yi still asked him to take on this important task. Huang Ming gave Li Gang paper and pen and asked him to draw it truthfully.
Not long after, a bloody calendar flag was painted by Li Gang.
Zhou Yi pretended to hold the flag painting and looked at it, and then asked: "Just now you painted the flag of the thief, then I will ask you again, can you read the words?"
Li Gang responded quickly: "The villain is the housekeeper of the Li family, so he naturally knows how to read."
"Then look at that flag again. Is it really like that?" Zhou Yi directly threw down the painting Li Gang had just painted to make him confirm again.
Li Gang looked at it again and asked several other families nearby to look at it. Everyone felt that it was correct, and then he presented the finished flag painting in front of Zhou Yi's case again.
"Are you sure?" Zhou Yi asked with an imperceptible smile on his lips.
Li Gang replied sternly: "The villain is sure, sure and certain, it is people with such a banner who robbed us!"
Zhou Yi's conspiracy succeeded, and he immediately slapped the wooden table on the table and shouted: "Okay! Not only do you sue the superiors and the people, but you also slander the imperial officials!"
"The word "Li" in County Magistrate Li Feiyu is "Li Gui", not the experience at all!"
"It seems that there is someone else who robbed your food, not Magistrate Li! Logically speaking, you should be punished for both crimes, but I see that you did not intend to make false accusations, and since I am kind-hearted, you You should receive fifty lashes for this false accusation!"
After receiving the order from the county magistrate, the two teams of government officials immediately took everyone in the hall except Ye Wuhua and Ye Jianrong outside to be flogged.
Listening to the wailing of these people, Ye Jianrong finally understood what it means to be the most terrifying of educated gangsters.
This book that "Li Feiyu" has only read for two and a half years is so powerful and difficult to deal with, so how terrifying it would be if he had read it for a longer time!
