Guo Zhiyuan was angry when he heard this. A very happy family was forced to destroy their families by Chenghe Dianpu. He was furious and said: "This Chenghe Dianpu is really hateful. He forced them to destroy their families for more than ten acres of paddy fields! Don't worry, I will definitely make the decision for your dead brothers and family and give them justice!"

Guo Zhiyuan returned to the county yard angrily and immediately sent the yamen runners to tell him about the shopkeepers of Na Cheng and Dianpu to ask questions. However, after waiting for several hours, the yamen runners sent out had not brought the person, so Guo Zhiyuan became more and more angry. The shopkeepers of Cheng and Dianpu clearly did not take him seriously, and sent a second batch of yamen runners to urge him. They sent out three batches of yamen runners before they came. However, there were several people who came together, several justices of the peace and a person Guo Zhiyuan never expected - Chen Huaili!

Seeing Chen Huaili coming uninvited, Guo Zhiyuan felt a little shocked. He was also overwhelmed by anger. He did not think about investigating the background of Chenghe Dianpu first. The background of being able to open a Dianpu in the county town is definitely not simple. Chen Huaili came uninvited, probably he was the boss behind the Chenghe Dianpu. Chen Huaili, as the largest landlord in Gutian County, has a great influence. It is not a last resort, and Guo Zhiyuan does not want to conflict with him head-on.

Of course, Guo Zhiyuan is no longer the Guo Zhiyuan who first came to Gutian to take office. Naturally, it is impossible for Chen Huaili to let this matter go without investigating it because Chen Huaili was the boss behind Cheng and Dianpu. On the contrary, Chen Huaili's arrival has increased his attention to this matter to a higher level. The Chen family is the largest landlord force in Gutian County. Nearly half of the land in Gutian County belongs to the Chen family. I think the Chen family has used such means to annex the land of ordinary people. If so, Guo

The conflict between Zhiyuan and Chen Huaili was almost inevitable, because Guo Zhiyuan could not sit idly by and watch the situation of taking advantage of the people's land. Because he knew that an important reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty was that the landlord group embezzled the people's land in the late Ming Dynasty had completely lost control, and a large number of landless people chose to join the peasant uprising army. In addition, Li Zicheng proposed the slogan "The King of Breakings will not pay food when he comes", and his power expanded rapidly, which eventually led to the collapse of the Ming Dynasty!

Although Guo Zhiyuan felt that the conflict with Chen Huaili was inevitable, he still had to do his best to save face. He stood up and greeted Chen Huaili, and said, "Old Chen is a rare guest. How do you think about going to my county government lobby today? Could it be that this case has nothing to do with Mr. Chen?..."

Chen Huaili naturally would not directly admit that he was the boss behind Cheng and Dianpu. He bowed to Guo Zhiyuan with a big thorn, and said with a slight smile: "I am the leader of the Justice of Peace, but I failed to fulfill the duties of the Justice of Peace. I am very ashamed. I heard that the Lord is today's trial of the case. I will come to listen. I have heard that the Lord has made a fair and strict decision on the case. I and several Justice of Peace also want to see it. Lord Guo will not welcome it..."

Guo Zhiyuan felt a little sad when he heard this. In order to resolve the financial crisis, he had to introduce the Justice of Peace system to raise funds from the gentry. It mentioned that the Justice of Peace enjoyed the privilege of participating in the trial of county government cases. However, during this period, there were no major cases in Gutian County. They were all small cases such as neighborhood disputes. At first, several Justice of Peace came to listen in detail. Later, he felt bored and slowly no one came, so it did not cause too much constraints for Guo Zhiyuan. But today Chen Huaili was obviously prepared and specially invited several Justice of Peace to come together, which was clearly demonstrating to himself. It seems that the trial today is destined not to go smoothly!

Thinking of this, Guo Zhiyuan became more and more vigilant, but he smiled calmly on his face: "Old Chen is enthusiastic about the political affairs of the county and is really a model of the gentry. I welcome you. Come and see the seats of several justices of the peace!..."

When Chen Huaili and a few justices of the peace sat down, Guo Zhiyuan looked at a middle-aged man kneeling in the hall. The man was wearing a long gown and had long beards, his eyes flashing, and he was obviously very cunning. Although he was kneeling, his waist was straight. He was not panicked at all when he saw Guo Zhiyuan, the county magistrate, and was very confident.

Guo Zhiyuan frowned even more. This person was just a shopkeeper under Chen Huaili. He was so fearless in front of him, so he naturally wanted to kill him. He slapped the arbor and shouted sternly: "The person who was kneeling in the hall is the shopkeeper of Cheng and Dianpu?!"

Before he finished speaking, Chen Huaili suddenly interrupted, "Wait, Lord Guo, I'm a little confused. There is always a victim in this case. I don't know where the victim is in this case?..."

Guo Zhiyuan almost cursed Chen Huaili. Liu Changfu's family was forced to death by Chen Huailicheng and Dianpu's shopkeeper. Where can I find the miser? With Liu Guifu's honest personality, he wanted to be the miser and Cheng and Dianpu to sue him. I was afraid that he would not have the courage to be the miser and beat him to death. However, since Guo Zhiyuan granted the privilege of the Justice of the Peace to participate in the trial, Chen Huaili's questioning was not considered Jiyue, so he had to suppress his anger: "The miser and the family of five of this case have been hanged and committed suicide, so he was unable to come to the hall. After investigation, I learned that the miser and the miser had negotiated with the manager of Cheng and Dianpu before he hanged and committed suicide, so he was told that he came to inquire..."

"Oh!" Chen Huaili said in a long tone: "Since the victim committed suicide by hanging himself, he should have nothing to do with others. Of course, the adults said that Cheng and Dianpu shopkeeper had a question, and he should cooperate. But the adults were just routinely questioning, so there was no need for someone to kneel all the time. Cheng and Dianpu shopkeepers are also from my Chen clan. I can also recognize him. He has some old legs and feet and cannot kneel for a long time. I also asked the adults to stand and answer because of my thin face. "

As he said that, Guo Zhiyuan nodded and agreed, and waved to Na Cheng and Dianpu shopkeeper and said, "Chen Donghai, get up!" Chen Donghai also stood up honestly and unceremoniously, bowed and said, "The Xie clan is considerate, the county magistrate is graceful..." He put the Xie clan's considerate before, obviously only the patriarch Chen Huaili, but not the county magistrate Guo Zhiyuan.

Seeing that Chen Huaili was so arrogant, Guo Zhiyuan was even more angry, but he was not good at breaking up with Chen Huaili on such minor issues, so he suppressed his anger and nodded, "Since Mr. Chen pleads for you, I will allow you to stand and answer. Chen Donghai, have you ever forced Liu Changfu to force him to transfer ten acres of paddy fields under his name to you? As a result, his whole family hangs himself?"
