Chapter 454

As soon as Zou Jiang beat the big drum in front of the yamen, many people immediately surrounded him.

Many people on the street of the county government knew Zou Jiang, and when they saw him beating drums to protest his grievances, they hurriedly asked, "Housekeeper Zou, why do you always feel wronged?"

"That's right, Steward Zou, you are a popular person beside the magistrate, if you have any grievances, just tell the magistrate directly, and you still need to go to the yamen to beat the drums?"

Although Zou Xiancheng has been cuckolded by his son and his aunt's family is a runaway slave, he has become the biggest laughing stock in the county in the past century, but his official position is still there, and he is capable of avenging Zou Jiang's grievances.

Zou Jiang threw away the drum hammer in his hand, looked at the crowd and shouted: "The person I want to sue is Zou Youlian!"

"Zou Youlian, who is it?"

An older man thought for a while, and then exclaimed, "Hey, it's Zou Xiancheng!"

"What? Zou Youlian is the Prime Minister of Zou County?"

"This is really new, Zou Xiancheng's confidant sued Zou Xiancheng."

"Zou Xiancheng must have violated Tai Sui, and a man named Zhong Junwang came to sue him two months ago."

"Why do you care about that surname Zhong? The Zhong family is dead, and now Steward Zou is suing County Cheng Zou... Hey, Butler Zou, what are you suing County Cheng Zou? Tell us quickly."

They were almost dying of curiosity about such a rare anecdote, which was rare in a hundred years, and they couldn't sleep at night if they didn't ask clearly.

Zou Jiang said: "I want to sue Zou Youlian for corrupting the law, seeking wealth and murder, cheating for personal gain, cheating in imperial examinations, and using people as inferiors..."

Everyone present was dumbfounded. With so many charges, Zou Xiancheng is doomed this time!

As soon as these crimes were brought out, the whole street was in a turmoil, and everyone rushed to tell the story, spreading the news of Zou Jiang's lawsuit against Zou Xiancheng to everyone in the county.

As soon as Master Shao heard the news, he immediately went to inform Zou Xiancheng.

Zou Xiancheng was still recuperating at home, when he heard Master Shao's words, his face turned pale with fright, and he fell off the bed directly.

Master Shao and Master Cao immediately came to help him up.

Master Cao said: "My lord, my lord, you have to hold on, if you have something good or bad..."

"Shut up!" Master Shao yelled at Master Cao, this man surnamed Cao can't speak too much, is he trying to piss off County Chancellor Zou by saying that?

Sure enough, Zou Xiancheng stared at Master Cao with fiery eyes, scaring Master Cao into pleading guilty again and again: "My lord, calm down, the little one is unintentional, I just worry too much about my lord."

With a bang, as soon as Zou Xiancheng sat on the bed, he immediately kicked Master Cao. After expressing his anger, he asked, "I asked you to stare at Zou Jiang. Why did you stare at him? You asked him to sue him?" official!"

Master Cao was very wronged: "The little one has been staring at Zou Jiang every day for the past two months, but when he goes out, he either goes to help the adults, or goes to the bookstore and medical center. The young people who come into contact with him have also been checked, and none of them have any problems. .”

He was really wronged, and he didn't know why Zou Jiang suddenly went crazy and sued Zou Xiancheng.

"There must be something wrong, it must be!" Zou Xiancheng knew that Master Cao must have been tricked by Zou Jiang, but Zou Jiang had been to many places in the past two months, and now he is burning his ass to check. to no avail.

"What is Zou Jiang suing me?" Zou Xiancheng calmed down after his anger, and asked Master Shao.

Master Shao repeated what Zou Jiang said at the gate of the yamen.

After hearing this, Zou Xiancheng breathed a sigh of relief, he was only accused of murdering money, taking money and breaking the law, and he was not accused of colluding with water bandits... It seems that Zou Jiang has no evidence of his collusion with water bandits.

At this moment, Zou Xiancheng is very lucky. Fortunately, when Zou Jiang suspected that he bribed the water bandits to kill Aunt Lu, he did not admit it, and quickly sent the cripple six away. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to turn over now. .

but……

"Heh, even a house slave dares to sue this official, and I will let him know today whether he is a human or a dog!" Zou Xiancheng said to Master Shao and Master Cao: "Take the nursing home to the county government, and arrest him." Take the fugitive slave Zou Jiang!"

Zou Jiang is really stupid. He has been a slave for so many years and still treats himself as a human being. Doesn't he know that a slave can't sue the master?People have to hit [-] boards with sticks first when they sue officials. Zou Jiang, a slave, has no right to sue a master.

"Yes, my lord!" Master Shao and Master Cao agreed, and the two immediately left the courtyard of the Prime Minister of Zou County, and summoned the guards to go to the county government to arrest Zou Jiang.

Zou Yuzhen already knew about Zou Xiancheng's connection with the water bandits. For the past two months, he had been wanting to contact the water bandits so that they could use the water bandits to kill Qin Gu Luotian and his family.

He has been blaming Qin Gu Luotian and his family for the ruin of the Lu family, the killing of Aunt Lu, and his dislike by Zou Xiancheng. When the bandits contacted, they heard that Zou Jiang had sued Zou Xiancheng.

Zou Yuzhen was in a hurry, and hurriedly called the valet over, and asked, "Your uncle and the others went to arrest Zou Jiang? What happened to Zou Jiang? Why did he sue my father all of a sudden?"

Although he hated the old man and wanted him to die soon, but if the old man was sued, his son would also be implicated if the charges were proved. So the old man could die, but he must not be convicted.

The boy replied: "Uncle said, Zou Jiang is a slave, he has no right to sue the master."

The boy's reply was a little less respectful and more impatient... Zou Yuzhen has been completely disgusted by Zou Xiancheng because of Aunt Lu's matter, and he can't get anything by following Zou Yuzhen, and now he is begging his uncle to take him away. Change to work elsewhere.

Zou Yuzhen narrowed his eyes, looked at the young servant gloomyly, said nothing, but he held a grudge in his heart, and waited for this young master. When this young master gains power, you slaves who look down on this young master will all have to die !

"Well, go and keep an eye on it, and if there is any news from your uncle, come and report to me." Zou Yuzhen said.

"Yes, Third Master." The servant slapped casually, turned around and left.

……

Master Shao and Master Cao rushed to the gate of the county government aggressively, pointed at Zou Jiang, who was still counting the crimes of Zou Xiancheng, and said angrily: "Come on, take this escaped slave back!"

The Zou family nursing home immediately rushed towards Zou Jiang.

Luo Wu and the others had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw this, they immediately rushed over with the yamen servants, and stopped the Zou family's nursing home: "Stop, this is an important place for the yamen, and you want to be punished for disturbing the county yamen. ?!"

Master Shao frowned... Zou Jiang has been making trouble here for a quarter of an hour, no one in the yamen stopped Zou Jiang, and Zou Jiang was left to cry out at the gate of the yamen. Now that they came to arrest people, the yamen servants came immediately. I know, it must have been ordered by magistrate Xu.

Master Shao took two steps forward, stood with his hands behind his back, looked at Luo Wudao, and said, "Zou Jiang is a slave of the Zou family. Today he came here privately to sue the master and treat him as a fugitive slave. The Zou family has the right to take back his fugitive slave. Erluo Yamen can't control it, and the county magistrate can't control it either."

After hearing this, the onlookers said one after another: "This master is right, the patriarch's capture of the slaves is a private matter, and the yamen really can't control it."

When Master Shao heard this, he looked at Zou Jiang and said with a smile: "Butler Zou, come back with me. For the sake of serving him for decades, Mr. Zou will definitely spare you and prevent you from suffering too much." .”

Zou Jiang looked at Master Shao's smug smile, and asked back: "My surname is Shao, are you so sure that I am a slave of the Zou family? Do you know that if you wrongfully accuse Liang of being a slave, you will be punished for the crime of forcing him into slavery. You are charged with this crime." Can you afford it?"

Master Shao frowned, what does Zou Jiang mean?

Isn't Zou Jiang a slave?

Impossible, Zou Jiang has been a servant of the Zou family for many years, it is impossible to become a good citizen in the blink of an eye.
