"Why isn't it? That's it!" Wu Haidong stared at Xiao Jiading, "Xiao Zhiyi, you should take a good look at this clause before you can talk about it! Really...!"

His words made Xiao Jiading's eyes even colder, and he said slowly: "Wu Shuli, please read the contents of the article after it!"

"The latter? The latter has nothing to do with this case..." Wu Donghai was slowing down and did not read it.

County Magistrate Deng glared and said, "Xiao Zhiyi asked you to study!"

Wu Donghai was obviously very scared of County Magistrate Deng, so he hurriedly picked up the law and read: "The remaining animals killed each other, and the injured will be paid for half the price. Hence, he ordered to kill..."

As soon as he read this, he stopped, stared at the text, read it again, and felt something was wrong, but he didn't react for a while. What was wrong.

County Magistrate Deng reacted first and immediately roared: "This article is very clear! If one animal directly hurts the other animal, then you will compensate for the entire price reduction. However, if two animal bites each other and one of them is injured, the other party will only compensate for half of the price reduction! The case we are talking about now is the second situation. We should only compensate for half of the price reduction. How do you judge the full compensation? What are you doing?"

After he said this, Wu Haidong didn't quite believe it. He read the clause carefully and thought about it for a while. As expected, he couldn't help but change his face suddenly. He looked at them in panic.

Xu Sifa also had a pale face. On the first day of Xiao Zhiyi's visit to the yamen, he found a clearly wrong case in the punishment room where he was responsible. He was so embarrassed that he pointed at Wu Donghai and said, "You! You don't read the criminal law well and are ignorant. Xiao Zhiyi pointed it out to you. You are still stubborn! Go out! Get out!"

Wu Donghai seemed to be more afraid of this direct boss, and did not dare to say anything more. He snorted in disappointment, turned around and went out without even giving gifts.

County Wei Deng, Xu Sifa, and Dong Fazuo looked at each other, and they also felt that their faces were not good-looking. After all, this obvious wrong case was reviewed by the three of them, and they did not find this problem, at least it was the responsibility of not being strict in check.

County Magistrate Deng looked at Xiao Jiading and smiled carefully, "Xiao Zhiyi, look at this problem, what should I do?"

Of course, this kind of wrong case is corrected according to law. But seeing that County Wei Deng and Sifa Xu actually asked such a question, Xiao Jiading thought to himself, could there be something wrong with it? Why are these two people protecting Wu Donghai like this?

Before he figured out the matter, he didn't want to make a hasty decision, especially when he first arrived at the yamen, he didn't understand many situations. He immediately laughed and said with a wry smile: "Mr. County magistrate Kang, ask me, who should I ask? If this case has not been issued, it will be easy. I pretended not to know. You can take it back and change it and send it to me. I will report it to the county magistrate. But now, County magistrate Kang has issued it, and it is another obvious wrong case. It's not that the matter is mainly because he doesn't understand the law. If we understand the law and sue it to the government office, we will be passive. Therefore, this wrong case cannot be submitted to execution, otherwise it will be our obvious judgment of wrongfulness. Moreover, if I don’t know, it would be fine. Now I already know, but I did not point it out to Magistrate Kang. It would not only betrayal of Magistrate Kang’s grace, but also a dereliction of duty. But if I told the Magistrate, wouldn’t it betray you? It wouldn’t be loyal enough! Alas! I don’t know what to do.”

After hearing what he said, the three of them felt that there was room for maneuver and looked at each other again.

County Magistrate Deng stroked his beard, thought for a while, and said, "This matter is a bit tricky, and I can't think of a good idea for a while. Otherwise, after we scattered the yamen, we will find a restaurant to eat and drink some wine, and think about it carefully?"

Xiao Jiading shook his head and said, "It's not good to drink at noon."

"Then it's good afternoon. How about it? Xiao Zhiyi, after you come, we haven't gathered well yet. Let's do it together."

Xu Sifa and Dong Fazuo both nodded in agreement.

Before the water was cleared, Xiao Jiading didn't want to get too close to anyone in the yamen, especially someone like County Magistrate Deng. He shook his head and said, "Forget it, I've been drinking for the past two days. I'm really tired and want to have a good rest. This is like this, County Magistrate Deng, don't worry. This matter is just a matter of losing money anyway, not a murder case. You can think of a solution slowly. I'll delay it first and not send it to execution. When you think of a good solution, how about it?"

The three of them looked at each other and had to nod. County Magistrate Deng said, "Then it's better next time. I'll ask Xiao Zhiyi next time, so I can't push you anymore."

“Let’s talk about it then.”

Xiao Jiading took the verdict and said goodbye, returned to the study, put the verdict and continued to read other verdicts.

He spent the whole morning reading the verdicts he made before. He originally wanted to learn to learn from the scriptures, but unexpectedly he found several obvious wrong judgments, one of which was also handled by Wu Donghai!

He looked at these wrong judgments and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He wanted to summon County Weiwei Deng and others to discuss what to do, but the previous case had not yet come up with a good idea, and the next few cases would not have a better solution. I'd better wait and see. Anyway, these cases have nothing to do with him. They were handled by the previous Zhengyi, and they have been issued by the county magistrate. Even if the responsibility is held accountable in the future, they will not be found on him.

At this time, the sound of cloud boards in the scattered yamen at noon sounded. He put down the verdict.

County Magistrate Kang walked out of the inner room, and Xiao Jiading hurriedly stood up. County Magistrate Kang stopped and smiled and said, "How is it?"

"I was reading the previous verdict in the morning. I wanted to study and study first, and then start working after getting familiar with it."

"Yeah! Very good, very good! Let's go and have a meal."

This sentence of eating is not a treat from a county magistrate. The upper and lower yamen in the Tang Dynasty had a rule that lunch was supplied by the court and was treated by officials. In Chang'an, the people who attended court ate in the corridor outside the Jinluan Hall. The officials in the local prefectures and counties below naturally did not suffer so much. They had to squat in the corridor to eat, but concentrated in the canteen of the yamen. They were divided into two parts, officials with official ranks had small stoves, and other clerks and three yamen runners and others had large stoves. They were limited to lunch, and they did not have this treatment in the morning and evening. They solved it themselves.

I knew some of the systems and rules of the yamen when I talked to Du Dayin before, so I would not mistakenly think that the county magistrate wanted to treat him to dinner. So Xiao Jiading nodded and agreed, and followed the county magistrate Kang to leave the signing room.

As I was walking towards the cafeteria, on the way, I saw Zhu Haiyin waving to him from afar. So I walked over.

Zhu Haiyin said: "There is nothing to eat in the yamen. Let's go outside."

"It's such a time at noon..."

"It's been an hour, I've had a good meal! Let's go! I have something to say to you."

Xiao Jiading actually didn't want to get too close to someone in the yamen. Since he became the secretary of the county's top leader, he had to be low-key and pay special attention to his behavior. He should not be too ostentatious and could not give people the impression that he was forming a gang. However, when he heard Zhu Haiyin say something to him, he nodded and agreed.

When the two left the yamen, they were stopped. They turned around and saw two people standing next to the stone lion under the yamen steps. It was Yu Gui who runs a snack shop and Old Man Xiao.

The two of them waited for Xiao Jiading to go down the steps before they met up, and hurriedly bowed and smiled. Yu Gui said, "Young Master! Thank you! Our two cases have been sentenced. My beef has been returned to me, and there is a little more. It is said that it is compensated for me. His maid's child was also sentenced to his family. The yamen runner took the child from the Hao family this morning and sent it to the old man Xiao and his family. Hehe, thanks to your help!"

Xiao Jiading smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you have a little busy schedule. Just make a judgment."

Yu Gui and Old Man Xiao looked at each other, and Old Man Xiao said, "I don't know if my nephew has free time. We want to invite my nephew to a meal and express our gratitude."

"No need for this..."

He just said this, and Zhu Haiyin next to him had already lit up his eyes. He pulled Xiao Jiading's sleeve and whispered in his ear: "It's just right, go see that beautiful Hu!" Before Xiao Jiading could speak, he had already said to Yu Gui first: "I'm going to eat in your shop, right? Let's go!"

"No, the shop is too simple, we want to invite the young master to go..."

"I won't go to other places!" Zhu Haiyin rushed to say, "It's short noon, just eat a little nearby. We still have to work in the afternoon!"

As he said that, Zhu Haiyin pulled Xiao Jiading and walked forward. Yu Gui and Old Man Xiao had to follow behind. Anyway, they couldn't drink at noon, so it would be better to eat some nearby. So Xiao Jiading did not object.

A few people came to Yugui's snack shop. It was the order for dinner now. The business was good and almost all of them were full.

The beautiful Hu girl Loulan was busy serving food and serving guests in the front hall. Her pretty face full of exoticism was still so cold. However, an unexpected smile appeared at the moment of seeing Xiao Jiading. Her eyes drooped, and she even gave a light greeting and said softly: "Young Master Xiao!"

This is the first time I heard Loulan speak. The voice was not very authentic Chinese, but the tone of the Western Regions. It sounded full of magnetic pronunciation and very nice.

Xiao Jiading bowed and said, "Hello, Miss Loulan!"

Yu Gui did not prepare to entertain in the snack shop, but in the restaurant, so there was no reservation in the snack shop. Now it was a meal order, and there were guests in several slightly better locations. There were no elegant seats in the snack shop, so he had to take Xiao Jiading and the others to his own living room in the backyard and sit down. He told Loulan to go to the kitchen to cook some special dishes and deliver them!

When Xiao Jiading heard this, he couldn't help but feel curious and said, "Let's know how to cook."
