Niu Er nostrils looked at people and gave orders to the government officials, saying: "Why don't you show me my seat quickly?"
"Niu Er, how dare you be so presumptuous!"
Zhao Guyan scolded loudly.
After all, Zhao Guyan is the county government's catcher, and he is also what others often call the squad leader.
Niu Er was somewhat frightened and did not dare to speak.
"Sir, that little ox is clearly mine. It is a bull. There is a white birthmark as big as a palm on the cow's belly. He must have sneaked into my house last night and stolen my cow!"
Wang Laowu cried.
"Sir, this calf indeed has a white birthmark on its belly."
A government official said loudly.
"Fart! Now that you've seen it, it's natural to say so. Why are you stealing cattle? How can you frame a good man with nothing? Believe it or not, I'll beat you to death, you old coffin scooper!"
Niu Er shouted with no one in his eyes.
He was debating whether it would be better to roast or steam the cow.
The imperial court strictly ordered the slaughter of cows, but if the cow died unexpectedly, it would not count.
Seeing that Niu Er's arrogant look, Jiang Cheng was furious in his heart and wanted to rush up to Bang Bang and punch him twice.
"This Niu Erye is too stupid!"
"Shh, don't let him hear it. We can't afford to offend this rogue."
"He is Mr. Zhao's nephew."
…
Snapped!
Jiang Cheng raised his eyebrows, clapped his hands, and shouted:
"Silence! This is the county government lobby. It's not Caishikou! Where did Niu Er come from? You still haven't told me honestly."
"Sir, the villain bought this for five taels of silver yesterday. This Wang Laowu was looking for cattle early this morning, and when he saw the villain's little ox, I must say it belongs to him."
When Niu Er saw Jiang Cheng getting angry, he immediately knelt down and spoke.
"Master, this Niu Er is a good gambler. Where did he get the money? It must have been stolen."
Zhao Guyan said close to Jiang Cheng's ear.
"As expected, it's entry-level. This case is so simple. Now we just need to find evidence to convict Niu Er." Jiang Cheng thought to himself.
"Niu Er, I have heard that you are a bad gambler. Where can you get the money to buy a cow?" Jiang Cheng shouted.
"Sir, two days ago, I won eight taels of silver at Shunlai Gambling House, but someone has testified."
Niu Er shouted loudly.
"Then who did you buy this cow from?" Jiang Cheng asked.
"This...I don't know who that person is. I bought his cow and he left."
Niu Er hesitated immediately, his eyes evasive.
How could Niu Er's sneaky expression be hidden from Jiang Cheng?
"It's obvious that you stole the cow and you still dare to mess around. If you don't take it seriously, you will definitely get a beating!"
Jiang Cheng picked up the order and was about to throw it out, but was stopped by Li Wenbin.
"Sir, this must not be done. This Niu Er is Mr. Zhao's nephew, and we cannot afford to offend him."
Li Wenbin touched his goatee and whispered.
"Mr. Zhao, even if I am the King of Heaven, you can still take pictures of me today."
Jiang Cheng's face darkened and he threw the ticket out.
Everyone looked stunned.
None of the government officials responded!
The county magistrate, who has always been afraid of Mr. Zhao, how dare he hit Mr. Zhao's people today?
"If you don't take action, are you waiting for me to fight?" Jiang Cheng shouted.
When the government officials came to their senses, two of them pushed Niu Er to the ground, and the other two raised their killing sticks.
"You surnamed Jiang, how dare you hit me? Don't you recognize me anymore? I am Mr. Zhao's nephew, are you worthy of beating me?"
Niu Er glared at Jiang Cheng and shouted.
"I don't care who you are, beat me hard!" Jiang Cheng shouted.
Bang bang!
The yamen servant had long been unhappy with Niu Er and beat him hard. After only five or six spankings, Niu Er's buttocks blossomed and his trouser legs were stained red with blood.
The people watching the excitement were stunned and clapped their hands.
"Is God's eyes open? This stupid officer really dares to beat up Niu Er?"
"Oh my God, I read that right. Niu Er was really beaten."
"This bastard Niu Er should have been beaten long ago!"
…
Niu Er has been running rampant in the countryside for a long time, bullying men and dominating women, and the people have long been filled with resentment.
"Stop it! I did it! I did it. I stole this cow last night."
Niu Er screamed repeatedly.
"Haha, you're ready? Why don't you explain the facts quickly?"
Jiang Cheng sneered.
"Last night at the second watch, I was peeing at the entrance of the village and heard the mooing of a cow from Wang Laowu's house. I got greedy and took the cow away."
Niu Er looked miserable and cried.
"Sure enough, it's you!" Wang Laowu said angrily.
"Master Li, according to my laws of the Sui Dynasty, what crime should be punished for stealing cattle?" Jiang Cheng asked.
"Master, you can't be serious."
Hearing this, Li Wenbin's brows tightened and a heavy cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
That Mr. Zhao is the former academic master of this province. Although he is idle at home, his emaciated camel is bigger than him. His disciples and former officials are all over the province.
What's more, his father-in-law is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, which is a very powerful official.
Although Niu Er is just a distant nephew of Mr. Zhao, he does not look at the monk's face or the Buddha's face.
This matter cannot be judged.
"Do you think I'm kidding you?" Jiang Cheng said with indifferent eyes.
His predecessor colluded with local powerful people, took bribes and violated the law, and it was mostly Li Wenbin who orchestrated it.
Li Wenbin is a local, and the Li family is also a powerful local.
Seeing Jiang Cheng's cold gaze, Li Wenbin was shocked. Before Li Wenbin could speak, Jiang Cheng said:
"According to Sui jurisprudence, the crime of theft has a penalty of 20 canes and a one-year sentence. If you are willing to pay the fine, you can get a half-year reduction. Mr. Li, is this true?"
Hearing this, Li Wenbin was stunned.
He knew that Jiang Cheng was talented and good at scientific examinations, but he knew nothing about criminal names and had no knowledge of legal precedents.
Now I can say it accurately.
For him, it was very shocking.
This knowledge of criminal names is his capital for making a living, otherwise Jiang Cheng would not ask him to be his master.
What he didn't know was that Jiangcheng now had a system, and the system automatically popped up a case just now.
Later, Jiang Cheng loudly said: "Niu Er committed the crime of theft. The crime is true. According to the law, he is sentenced to twenty canes. He must compensate Wang Laowu for his loss of three taels and must serve one year in prison."
"Okay~Okay!"
The crowd of onlookers clapped their hands and applauded when they heard the county magistrate announcing the sentence.
"My lord is Master Qingtian!"
Wang Laowu kowtowed excitedly.
"Jiang, you dare to sentence me to jail. My uncle can't spare you!"
When Niu Er heard that he was going to jail, he became anxious.
"Hit me!" Jiang Cheng shouted.
Bang bang!
The government officials waved their killing clubs and beat him. Before they hit him a few times, Niu Er screamed and fainted.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the entry-level cattle-stealing case. Gained 100 merit points, and also received a gift package for newbies."
A crisp sound sounded, and a gift package for newbies appeared in the system warehouse.
Jiang Cheng opened it and saw a golden elixir and two martial arts secrets appearing in the warehouse.
