Chapter 203

The sun is scorching in June, and it's only the middle of the month, which is the winter wheat harvest season in Suijin Town.

The fields outside the town are covered with golden wheat, and the busy summer harvest also dilutes the capture of Dilu bandits from the mountains a few days ago.

The Song family didn't grow wheat, and now Song Zhenping made friends with several grain-growing families in the town, so he went to help other people's homes. Xiao An didn't paste cardboard boxes at home, and picked up wheat ears with a basket every day.

Wheat was being harvested in Suijin Town, and wheat was being harvested in other places. The Song family had already announced that they wanted to buy wheat straw, and the firewood that was originally only used for lighting fires in the four miles and eight townships was sent.

Suijin Town is full of carts of wheat stalks. From the riverside to the outside of the town, there are bullock carts waiting to be unloaded.

Song Liyun is "injured" and stays at the carton factory every day, helping shopkeeper Mu to keep accounts.

Seeing that the carton factory was too busy, Hu Qing and the others simply spared manpower from the acorn workshop to take care of this end first.

At such a busy time, the case in Qili County was on trial, and Song Liyun was required to testify in court.

It was the first time for Song Liyun to open a court hearing for a case, so he couldn't help feeling a little flustered.

Fortunately, she didn't go alone, Xue Zhuang, Han Ming, and Mr. Zhang were with her.

Afraid of the sun, a few people set off from Suijin Town at dawn, and it was only half hour when they entered Qili County, and there was still an hour before the opening of the hall.

When we arrived at Yaqian Street, there were already people gathered here in twos and threes, and they presumably came to watch the opening of the trial.

There are still many breakfast stalls on Yaqian Street. Song Liyun told everyone to find a stall selling buns and biscuits a little further away. Each person had a bowl of mung bean porridge, two big meat buns, and a few dishes of side dishes, ready to eat Drink enough to go to court.

Apart from them, there were other people eating at the morning stall, each of them looked excited and whispered, as if they were waiting for something big to happen.

Song Liyun and the others had traveled dozens of miles, and it was still early for the class, so they were not in a hurry to leave, and took the time to rest during the meal.

Han Ming and Xue Zhuang had a big appetite, and after eating the meat buns, they asked the stall owner to bring cakes, while Mr. Zhang slowly drank mung bean porridge.

While looking for business, the stall owner frequently looked in the direction of the yamen, almost turning over the stove several times.

The stall owners on Yaqian Street are all people who are familiar with the world, and it is rare for them to be in such a panic today.

Seeing him like this, Xue Zhuang wanted to inquire in advance, and said loudly: "Hi! Brother stall owner, what case is there to be tried today, why are these people watching?"

His voice was loud, and the stall owner seemed to have heard something terrible. He turned around and gestured to Xue Zhuang to ask him to keep his voice down: "Guest, please keep your voice down. I didn't see those gangsters in Yaqian." Are you looking for someone?"

"Looking for someone? Who are you looking for?" Xue Zhuang pretended to be surprised.

The stall owner saw that it was almost sold out at this time, and he couldn't contain his gossip, so he simply pulled a stool and sat aside and said in a low voice: "I heard that these broken skins are waiting for those military households from Suijin Town to come over."

"What?"

Mr. Zhang also poked his head over. He was wearing a blue-gray coarse cloth shirt. Although he was plain, he had lost his previous lifelessness. He looked like a well-to-do old man from the countryside.

The stall owner blinked his eyes and said: "I heard that those military households in Suijin Town are powerful. They overturned the rice shopkeeper of Tianxianglou in the first place, and now they have captured Di Lu's bandits. Now that Suijin Town has opened a market, they want to follow suit." Those military households are begging for a living."

Xue Zhuang was dumbfounded: "What do you want to do with a military household? Do you also want to work as an errand in the guard?"

He just heard people praise the military households in Suijin Town, and he was a little proud, but he hadn't reacted yet.

When the stall owner heard that he was going to work in the guard, he smiled and shook his head: "How is it possible! These young masters are too busy to be idle, and I'm afraid I can't afford to ask them to work."

"Why is that?"

Han Ming also became curious. He wanted to live with military households, but he didn't want to go to the guards to become naturalized. What did he want to do.

The stall owner said with a look of "you don't know much": "Now Suijin Town is a military town, and the military households are in charge, and the market is together. These helpers want to collect fees in the town. Of course, they must establish a good relationship with the military households.

"As long as you pay homage to the hall, since there are no people in the town now, it's time for them to fight for territory."

Xue Zhuang's face froze instantly: To charge?
I haven't seen any benefits yet, and someone is thinking about the three melons and dates in Suijin Town.

"cough!"

Song Liyun almost choked on a mouthful of water, she looked at Xue Zhuang.

Today in Suiyin Town, it is no exaggeration to say that he and Xue Zhuang fought hard.

Xue Zhuang had rolled on the knife edge several times.

Now that Xue Zhuang is in charge of law and order, that's what he deserves.

Those people still want to collect protection money, which is to compete with him for his job.

Before Song Liyun could laugh, the stall owner's next sentence made her blush.

"They also heard that the rouge tiger who caught Mickey in Suijin Town is also coming, so they want to see if it's the rumored dominatrix with a face like the bottom of a pot, big arms and a round waist, and a beard."

"cough!"

"cough!"

"cough!"

Everyone at the table coughed.

The story of Song Liyun grabbing Yang Kaiquan with a knife in the Suijin Guild Hall spread quickly after the tax collector Sun Wuming and the two yamen servants returned to the county yamen.

Ordinary people will be surprised a few times after hearing these words, and they will forget after saying a few words that this woman is really brave.

But these idle men who spend their days outside the county office and sell news for a living are interested, and they all want to see this woman's true face.

At the end of the hour, the eight-character yamen opened wide, and all the yamen servants lined up in shifts. At this time, Yaqian Street was already crowded with spectators.

A few days ago, the trials were all little people with heads and crab brains. This time, it was going to deal with the case of Tianxianglou Mickey pretending to be an official and going to Suijin Town to make trouble, and all ten people had their legs broken.

In addition to Mickey, who had been imprisoned for more than two months, Hong Jingtian, who had just been brought to justice, was present at the case.

Mickey and the others had their legs broken for two months, and the family may have used money to manage them. Even though they were in prison, they were healed.

But the maintenance is not good, and now the two legs are crossed strangely, and they need to hold the ground with their hands when walking.

Hong Jingtian has had a hard time these few days. He is guilty of colluding with Di Lu.

Once wearing the [-]-jin big wooden yoke, he couldn't even lift his head, so he could only support the wooden yoke on the ground, half-bent and kneeling.

Jiang Feng, the county magistrate of Dai, sat in the hall, and the scribes read the beginning and end of the case first.

Tianxianglou has done a lot of things secretly, and now it has been dug out, and the long booklet has been read for an hour.

Even the clerks had to change for three rounds before finishing the reading. Among them, the big ones were bullying men and women, stealing money and killing people, and the small ones were so small that they cheated on others and cut food. There were hundreds of cases.

These are all Mr. Jiang found out in the past two months. How many of them are true and how many are false, and how many of them are detrimental, I don't know.

Finally, it talked about the case that Mickey and others were ordered by Hong Jingtian to rob people in Suijin Town.

Song Liyun and his party had already entered the second room next to the court from the side to wait, and at this time they were passed to the lobby by the yamen servant.
