"This time, I can't bear it any longer!"
"If you dare to take human life, I will behead you and hang it on the top of the city to alert the officials in the world!"
Waited for a while.
"My lord is back."
The crowd was in commotion.
Qin Xiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The case was finally going to be tried and he wanted to take a closer look!
Is this person a good official who works for the people, or a corrupt official who takes bribes and perverts the law?
However, Qin Xiao quickly lost his patience.
On the spacious street, the flow of people separated to make way for a passage.
Two snow-white horses, without a single hair on their bodies, pulled a luxurious carriage over.
BMWs, fragrant cars, carved beams and painted buildings.
Extravagance to the extreme.
The carriage made of golden nanmu was carved with beautiful patterns and inlaid with dazzling sapphires, which almost made Qin Xiao's eyes go blind!
"After waiting for so long, the county magistrate just came from the brothel!"
“Treat government affairs like child’s play!”
"He is only a seventh-grade county magistrate, but he dares to ride in such a luxurious treasure car. It is simply more luxurious than my imperial palace."
"Outrageous, too outrageous!"
Qin Xiao's anger surged again.
The crime of arrogance alone was enough to kill Xu Mo.
The carriage drove slowly to the gate of the county government and stopped.
In the carriage, two beautiful women stepped out as if they were blowing in the willows in the spring breeze.
Then, Xu Mo, who was wearing official uniform, stepped out of the carriage on a footstool with the support of two beauties.
"Wow, he is the oiran of Li Chun Yuan, and he also has the top card. Mr. Xu really knows how to enjoy it!"
"So envious!"
The people let out bursts of exclamation, their eyes widened, and they couldn't take their eyes away.
The two enchanting beauties put the official hat on Xu Mo with their own hands before returning to the carriage.
Such absurdity is worthy of being a county magistrate?
In Qin Xiao's heart, another death penalty was added to his list!
"Promote... Hall...!"
Two rows of soap-clad government officials beat the water and fire sticks on the ground, making a crashing sound.
Xu Mo was stunned and slapped hard.
"Your Majesty, what's the matter with this complaint?"
In the courtroom, there was the man who was beaten to death, wrapped in a white cloth.
His wife, Mrs. Liu, knelt on the ground and stayed there without saying a word.
"Reporting to your lord, there was a fight outside the gambling house, and citizen Zhang Xiaoqi died tragically!"
The policeman told the story of the case.
"Ms. Liu, do you have any objection to whether what the police officer said is true?"
Xu Mo asked loudly.
"It's all true."
Mrs. Liu seemed surprised and answered quickly.
Qin Xiao's eyes flashed coldly.
Fight? !
In a few short sentences, the police officer described the fact that a group of guards beat Zhang Xiaoqi to death in front of the gambling house just now. It seemed that there was no problem.
But the blurring of key details makes the nature of the case completely different.
You know, the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty stipulate that anyone who kills a person must pay for his life. The principal offender must be beheaded, and the accomplices must also be punished with fifty sticks and be exiled to the frontier for labor!
So many gambling thugs beat a thin Zhang Xiaoqi to death. Is that called a fight?
No matter what, the main culprit must be executed.
Those who are helping to cheer on the side should not be tolerated with sticks and punishments!
The boss of the gambling house cannot escape the relationship and will be exiled!
But if it were a fight, the consequences would be far different.
Before there is a trial, let’s call it a fight!
It is clear that they are arresting people who obey the county order and bully the people who do not understand the law!
really.
"Zhang Xiaoqi caused trouble in the gambling house first, then got into a physical conflict with the gambling house staff, and accidentally died in the fight!"
"This official has ruled that the gambling house will be closed for five days for rectification. Zhang Xiaoqi's gambling debts will not be held accountable. In addition, five hundred taels of silver will be compensated to the Liu family!"
"Wang Erpazi, the guardian of the gambling house, accidentally beat Zhang Xiaoqi to death. He will be punished with fifty sticks and will pay the Liu family one hundred taels of silver!"
“The county’s verdict is over, do you have any objections?”
"If there are no comments, the case is now closed!"
The county magistrate Xu Mo, who was sitting high in the hall, made a quick decision.
"Wow!"
"Five hundred taels, one hundred taels! A total of six hundred taels of silver."
"Zhang Xiaoqi's wife has sex!"
"Master Xu made a good decision!"
The people watching outside the court were all talking about it.
"The little lady has no objection."
Mrs. Liu looked at her husband who was covered with white cloth, her body trembled twice, and she lowered her head to answer.
The boss of the gambling house and Wang Ermazi, the head of the nursing home, all nodded.
"I'll accept it and be willing to pay silver!"
Six hundred taels of silver were counted in front of everyone.
"Captain Zhao, take someone to escort Mrs. Liu and deposit the silver to the bank. Give the silver note to Mrs. Liu."
"This case is closed! Retreat!!"
The trial of this case took less than a quarter of an hour in total.
As soon as Xu Mo finished pronouncing the verdict, he immediately hurriedly boarded the BMW car waiting outside.
"drive!"
The horse neighed for a long time and ran away in the distance.
"Stop!"
Qin Xiao vaguely heard the laughter of men and women in the carriage, and he roared angrily.
One life, only six hundred taels of silver?
Did you even send someone to deposit the silver at the bank?
"The bank must have shares in Xu Mo!"
Qin Xiao casually asked a commoner next to him.
The man glanced at Qin Xiao: "Is this your first time coming to Chong County?"
"A business like banking is all about confidence. If the county magistrate doesn't buy shares, how dare you put money in?"
"Hmph!"
Qin Xiao had an expected expression.
After working on it for a long time, the money compensated to Mr. Liu finally returned to Xu Mo’s hands!
Qin Xiao knows very well the methods of corrupt officials who bully the people!
Should be killed!
The county magistrate is not working at the county government office during the day, he is frivolous and hangs out in brothels!
Still should be killed!
Qin Xiao went from a poor man with no food to conquering the entire world.
We know best the harm caused by corrupt officials to the country.
He approves the execution of tens of thousands of corrupt officials every year!
However, the people in Chong County seem to have become accustomed to it.
Seeing such an unfair verdict, not only did no one complain, they even applauded!
Seeing the county magistrate busy fooling around with the brothel girls, the people whistled and cheered.
In the din, no one heard Qin Xiao's roar.
Qin Xiao was even squeezed out of the county government office again by the crowd.
Until the carriage Xu Mo was riding disappeared at the end of the street, the people watching the excitement slowly dispersed.
"I'm so angry!"
Qin Xiao's anger had nowhere to vent.
The people next to him looked at this man with a face as dark as the bottom of a pot in surprise.
"Master, calm down, calm down..."
Feng Ying stepped forward to persuade him, but was kicked by Qin Xiao.
Feng Ying didn't dare to say anything, so she stood up immediately and followed Qin Xiao, who was walking back angrily with his hands behind his back.
No wonder Qin Xiao was angry.
It has been eight years since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty. It cannot be said that the people are rich, but the country is finally peaceful and the people are safe!
What is the difference between a county magistrate who dares to kill people and the tyranny of the previous dynasty that he overthrew? !
"Come here, take my token and go to the nearby guard post to mobilize two thousand elite soldiers!"
"I want to eradicate corrupt officials for the people!"
As soon as he returned to the inn, Qin Xiao said bitterly.
