Chapter 122 adults love money

When Ma Dezheng saw the opportunity came, he immediately took two steps forward and shouted loudly: "Silent! Majestic!"

The habit became natural, and the yamen runner, who was originally lazy, immediately grabbed the killing stick, lit the ground neatly, and shouted in unison: "Wei...wu..."

The lobby became quiet in an instant, and only Xu Santian held the mandarin duck bellyband, which looked particularly eye-catching.

Zhuang Rou had already helped Liu to the side and asked her to sit down against the pillar. She stood up straight and looked at Chu Xia, who was as delicate as jade fat.

There was only one thought in my mind: this guy seemed to have dressed up carefully, not like a magistrate holding power, but like a jade doll that was held in his hand and afraid of falling.

The Xu family didn't meet the magistrate yesterday. Now, seeing such a noble man sitting behind the desk, he was more delicate and beautiful than any woman he had ever seen, and he immediately became confused.

Yesterday, when Chu Xia came, I sat on the boat for a long time and felt a little uncomfortable and had no time to deal with it. Today is the first case in his prefect, so I dressed up as usual, and I was so rich that I was so confused about the local buns in Hongzhou.

Chu Xia glanced at Xu Santian, who was standing there stupidly, then picked up the tea brought by the master, drank it lightly and said, "Who is in the hall, what case?"

The voice is not too fast and slow. Compared to the arrogant official accent of others, there is a little more disgust when I get out of here. I don’t want to talk to you ordinary people.

With Shi Zang standing on the side with expressionless face, who had abused people hard yesterday, Xu Tianfu's legs became weak, and he rolled and dragged his wounded body and knelt on the ground with his family.

"Sir! We just want to take back the niece from the clan today, not the same thing yesterday." He didn't dare to mention yesterday's incident. Look at the magistrate's disdain, the Xu family was not invited to dinner last night, and he thought he was going to be fired by three fires as a new official.

Chu Xia looked at the master blankly, what happened yesterday? What happened?

The master knew that his elders must have forgotten such a small matter, so he got up and walked up to whispered a few words, and told the matter quickly.

It's really boring...

Chu Xia flattened his mouth and said with no interest: "The punishment yesterday was for your intention to kill someone. Today's case has not been tried yet. I'm in a hurry to pick someone up and take the time to kill him and buried him?"

Xu Tianfu hurriedly begged: "Sir, how dare we kill people! This is when we found the person Liu likes. He is willing to marry Liu, so he wants to pick her up."

Zhuang Rou stood in the hall and looked at Chu Xia, and he just looked at Liu, and the two of them met.

So Zhuang Rou raised her hand and put it next to her face, making a casual gesture of rubbing silver notes.

Chu Xia seemed to have not seen it, ignoring her hint, retracting her gaze, looking at Xu Tianfu kneeling below with a thoughtful look.

Xu Tongzhang sat down, clasped his fists and replied, "Sir, the person who kneeled down by Xu Santian is Liu's lover. Yesterday, I heard that Liu was arrested, so I came out with deep affection to marry Liu."

"I didn't go to propose marriage before, but because my family was poor, I wanted to make some money and marry Liu so that the mother and son could live a good life. I didn't expect that a misunderstanding occurred just a few days later."

"The officials have asked, this is indeed the case, and there are misunderstandings in between. Yesterday's case has been settled. Today they came just to pick up Liu, and ask the Lord to investigate it clearly."

At this time, Liu had already woken up. When she heard this, she suddenly pounced on Xu Santian, grabbed him and beat and scolded him, "You bad guy, when did I have any intention with you? You dare to say nonsense so much to destroy my innocence!"

Xu Santian didn't expect that Liu, who was usually weak, would dare to tear it up in the court, so he had to raise the bellyband in his hand and shouted: "The bellyband in my hand is evidence. You obviously have something to do with me, so you gave me this bellyband. It's my fault to come to propose marriage late. After I get back, I can just beat and scold my wife. Don't be angry now, okay?"

"Bah!" Liu was so angry that his whole body shook. He knelt on the ground, knocking his head to the floor, and cried to Chu Xia, "Sir, you are wronged! This person is the one in the clan who wants me to marry. He is all about food, drink, gamble, and the civilian woman is unwilling to refuse the clan leader. And the things in his hands... are indeed from the civilian woman, but they are kept in the counter on weekdays, so they must have been stolen last night!"

"Sir! The civilian woman has absolutely no contact with others. Please ask the adults to make the decision!"

Her head was bleeding. If she was brought back to the Xu family and married to this person with this unclean name, she would have to take her daughter to the river to show her innocence!

Zhuang Rou wanted to see how Chu Xia tried this case. If he followed the method of a clean official, he would at least have to try the man named Xu Santian, or send the captain to investigate.

However... how much does the Xu family like field? They have fields.

Chu Xia felt that crying and shouting were so loud that she was so annoyed that she grabbed the gavel and slapped it hard on the table, which immediately made Liu and Xu Santian shut up.

He picked up a black sign and threw it down directly, "Examine the man in the first trial, keep a breath. I want to listen to the truth and don't like lying."

The yamen runners on both sides were stunned. They were sentenced without asking this sentence?

The yamen runner didn't understand the temper of the new magistrate. When he was hesitating, Ma Dezheng shouted, "Why are you standing there? Use torture!" As he said that, he raised the killing stick and walked forward, and slapped Xu Santian hard on the butt.

The stick was hit hard. Xu Santian, who had not figured out what was going on, screamed in pain and subconsciously wanted to turn over and escape.

Shi Zang rushed to him with a quick step, raised his foot and kicked him in the face. Suddenly, three bloody teeth flew out and landed in front of Xu Tianfu.

Xu Tianfu was still carrying the wounds he had caused by Shi Zang yesterday. Unexpectedly, he didn't do anything. The ghost master rushed over and started, scaring him to urinate. His whole body was shaking like an epilepsy, and he was afraid that he would be punished again, which would be a lifelong life.

Liu was also scared and stayed there. The other yamen runners rushed over, not wanting Ma Dezheng to make them seem incompetent and disobedient, and thought she was dragged to the side by blocking the Tao, otherwise she would not be able to move.

Xu Santian's screams came in waves. Chu Xia, behind the table, was just drinking tea slowly, and had no intention of interrogating.

After drinking a few sips of tea, he raised his head proudly and frivolously, raised his eyebrows and smiled at Zhuang Rou. He asked her to see how corrupt officials were, and the good things he did were useless.

Although Zhuang Rou has never seen Chu Xia investigate any case in Douhu County with good security, and she has been recuperating for a long time after being injured, so she has no hope for him to investigate the case.

But if you don't say anything, you will be punished. This is a rough method that doesn't matter whether you are guilty or not. As long as you go to the court, you will want to cause trouble for me. The rough method that deserves to be beaten to death is still somewhat beyond her expectations.

Especially now, he is still demonstrating to her, which makes Zhuang Rou feel that he is just a child, so what can he show off? No matter how the case is handled, he will inevitably be called an incompetent official and will be tortured without asking any questions.

Zhuang Rou didn't say a word to stop it, and it was useless for others to persuade her. Xu Santian's screams were heard in the lobby, and the sound of the killing stick made people feel a little rhyme.

Finally, Xu Santian couldn't hold back, and he was venting his anger but was still angry and begging: "Sir, I'll do it all..."

"It's really boring." Chu Xia put down the teacup and muttered dissatisfied. He thought he could play for a while, but it didn't expect it to end. "Then let's take the real trick, it's okay if you don't."

If Xu Santian dared not to help, he might be beaten to death if he persisted. His waist was already covered in blood and the pain was almost numb.

He lay on the ground and took a few breaths before he came out, "Sir, it was Xu Tianfu who gave Liu to me, and he also said that he could get the dividends on the shop every year. He had already agreed, but Liu was unwilling to marry me, so Xu Tianfu wanted to frame her for stealing people so that she could get rid of her by family law."

In order to survive, Xu Santian stopped calling his clan leader, and called his name one by one.

Seeing that he was really brave enough to say it, Xu Tianfu, who was already weak and trembling, immediately stood up and shouted: "Santian! I am your uncle! How can you talk nonsense!"

He wanted to remind Xu Santian that if this matter was not for the sake of this relative, he would not have found him as a waste. If someone who could see it was just right, Liu would not be unwilling to marry.

Xu Santian stared at him and gritted his teeth and cursed: "If it weren't for you, how could I suffer this flesh and blood! Lord, he asked me to pretend to be Liu's lover, take the person back and marry him to take away her property. He also promised me to give me 500 taels of silver in addition to the store dividends, and find an opportunity to force Liu to commit suicide to eliminate future troubles."

"You are slandering!" Xu Tianfu pounced on him and pinched his neck tightly. Xu Santian had no strength to struggle at this time, his eyes turned pale due to being pinched, his face was open silently, and he had no ability to gain life at all.

Chu Xia slapped the gavel hard and shouted coldly: "Drag them away, it's so ugly that it's so ugly!"

The yamen runners rushed up and pulled the two away, kicking them up when they couldn't pull them, and dragging Xu Tianfu away.

The matter has been clear. All things are Xu Tianfu's despicable plans step by step in order to occupy the property of the orphan and widowed mother. The dignified clan leader did not protect the women and children of the clan, but instead persecuted them. It was so shameless!

The well-known people from the tribe who followed Xu Tianfu could no longer stand at this time. They were arrested and directly caught from the gate and threw them on the table and knelt together.

These are all accomplices, and no one can be let go!

Chu Xia glanced at Xu Tong, who was sitting aside, was a little nervous, and spoke lightly, "Everything is caused by wealth, so that all evil will be removed, so that you can cure your sins, and someone will commit them again in the future."

Xu Tong saw that this man was a wealthy man, and he kept talking about money. He heard that he was fined the silver again. He shook his head slightly. Xu Tianfu was seriously injured after so many times. After all, this was not a small amount of money.

Chu Xia said in a very casual tone at this time: "The entire inheritance obtained by Liu was confiscated and she was allowed to take her daughter back to her mother's house. The daughter was given her mother's surname and then she had no connection with the Xu family. Thinking that she wanted to live, the official took the initiative to give her 200 taels of silver to live."

"As the head of the clan, Xu Tianfu poisoned the orphan and widowed mother in the clan for money and confiscated all his property. Other participants fined 100 to 100,000 taels of silver according to the size of the crime, and the house was confiscated without money."

"Ah!" Xu Tongzong couldn't stand it anymore and stood up suddenly. Chu Xia was still indifferent to the face behind the desk.
