Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 151 My Lord, The Sky Has Changed
Zeng Mu was not a fool either. After saving a few slaves, he immediately ran back to the willow forest.

The military system of the Tang Dynasty was originally a system in which all the people were soldiers. Each village had its own arsenal. Although there was no military equipment such as armor, there were still a lot of swords.

Zeng Mu called Zhang Chen in the laboratory again. It happened that a construction team of players was building a house in the willow forest. Zeng Mu found a few strong villagers in the willow forest. team.

Sure enough, Dong Zhong immediately led his servants to the willow forest, but they had just rushed out of the willow forest when they were tripped by two players' tripping ropes.

Several servants of the Dong family threw a piece of dog gnawing shit, and Dong Zhong was horrified to find that the villagers in Liulin, who were heavily armed, had already surrounded them.

Cold sweat dripped from Dong Zhong's forehead. He took a dozen of his confidants and servants to seek revenge in the willow forest. He thought that these villagers would kowtow to send out the hidden slaves just like before, and then they would be brutally beaten by Dong Zhong. Ruthless blackmail.

Unexpectedly, the villagers in the willow forest, who were very docile before, suddenly became so fierce that they took up weapons and surrounded themselves in turn.

At this time, Dong Zhong regretted it very much. You must know that the gang of untouchables in Liulin were like this, so they mobilized the family's private soldiers to come here.

Now there are more than a dozen servants around him surrounded, and the servants behind him haven't caught up. If he is a rich man, if he really fights with these mud legs, it will be too worthless!
Dong Zhong's personal servant rushed forward and said to the leader Zeng Mu: "My Lord Hou is chasing the fugitive slave, why do you stop him?"

Compared with the aggressive attitude just now, this boy has undoubtedly softened his mouth a lot.

Zeng Mu said angrily: "Your Marquis chased the fugitive slave, why did he come to our willow forest? We are all good citizens who keep our own laws, how could we do such a thing!"

Good people?

Looking at the bright white sharp blades in the hands of the villagers surrounding him, Dong Zhong cursed in his heart what kind of bullshit good people they are.

But the blade was about to reach his neck, Dong Zhong clearly understood that this was not the time to be tough.

He crossed his hands and said, "Dong Hou Dong Zhong, I don't know if the head of Liulinli is here."

Zeng Mu stepped out of the crowd and said, "Zeng Mu is here, what advice does Dong Hou have to offer?"

Dong Zhong didn't see Zeng Mu's mud-legged attire, but he spoke in a polite manner, so he put away his contempt and said:

"Master Zeng, these slaves are the property of our Dong family. Even if the lawsuit goes to Zhou Mu, hiding slaves in your willow forest is a violation of the laws of the Tang Dynasty!"

What Dong Zhong said is indeed correct. The Tang Law Discussion clearly stipulates that slaves belong to the master’s family, and hiding slaves is equivalent to stealing the property of the master’s family.

But Zeng Mu said with a smile: "Dong Hou, what evidence do you have that your slaves are hidden in our willow forest? This willow forest is so big, and the slaves have grown legs, so it is not certain where they will go!"

Dong Chong was trembling with anger, he did not expect to meet such a sophistry and shameless person in this countryside.

In the past, when the steward of the Dong family came to Liulinli, the villagers in Liulinli were trembling and did not dare to resist.

This Zeng Mu not only answered fluently, every sentence poked Dong Zhong's lungs.

But seeing the shining weapon, Dong Zhong had no choice but to suppress his anger.

He waved his sleeves and said: "Then just wait for the subpoena from the Governor's Mansion!"

Zeng Mu chuckled, ordered the villagers to get out of the way back to Liulin, and then crossed his hands at Dong Zhong and said, "Send Dong Hou!"

Dong Chong slapped his horse's butt angrily, and quickly returned to Liulin. He glanced back at Zeng Mu, showing a fierce expression.

After waiting until the members of Dong's family had run away, Zhao Chen said, "Brother Zeng, will these guys still come?"

Zeng Mu smiled and said: "These rich and powerful families are the most bullying. If we really put on a desperate look, they will be cowardly. If we take one step back, they will take three steps forward. I said they won't Come again."

Zhao Chen was still worried and said, "What if they attack Liulin Village at night? Otherwise, we should patrol for a few days?"

"That's fine, the Dong family has suffered a great loss, and they will definitely go to the governor's mansion to sue us, but I'm afraid they have forgotten that the governor's mansion has changed!"

As expected by Zeng Mu, the Dong family did not attack Liu Linli, but sued Liu Linli to the governor's office with a pleading.

The governor's mansion of Xizhou is the prefect's mansion of a state. If it is the governor's mansion in Guannei, there is also a county government office.

However, it has only been more than 100 years since Longyou was subordinated, and many systems are still very rough, so the lawsuits in Gaochang City and outside the city are all directly tried by the Governor's Office.

Originally, this case was sent to the governor of the governor's mansion, and it would be investigated by the judge of the governor's mansion first, and then submitted to the governor for judgment.

The governor of a state has a lot of government affairs, and it is impossible to go up to the court every day to try cases like movies and TV shows. If that is the case, the governor will not do anything.

For ordinary small cases, the officials of the governor's mansion will handle them by themselves, and write down the handling opinions of the case and hand them over to the governor for decision.

Only relatively large cases will be sent to the governor, and the governor will hold a trial in person.

Now Li Xiuzhang, the governor of Xizhou, is meditating at home and practicing Zen, and these cases have all been sent to Jianning Wang Bafu Sima Cui Tao.

Originally, this kind of obvious small case, as long as the officials of Facao can decide by themselves.

Facao from Xizhou Governor's Mansion sent two unscrupulous people to go around Liulinli, concocted several testimonies and returned to Facao, saying that Liulinli had hidden 20 escaped slaves from the Dong family.

In this case, it is enough to arrest the willow grower and question him.

When the time comes to be locked in a cell, with such a dozen boards, you will have all the testimony you want.

Let Liu Linli compensate Dong Hou's family a large amount of money, and then extort a large amount of money from the head of the village named Zeng Mu, eating the plaintiff and the defendant, and this case can make a lot of money.

The officials of the Fa Cao did not expect that Cao Zhouhao, the newly appointed Fa Cao Secretary of the Xizhou Governor's Office, would personally intervene in this case.

Zhou Hao was invited to Xizhou by Cui Tao. He had just taken office a few days ago when he noticed Zeng Mufa's "task" in the forum.

Zeng Muliao decided that this was a series of tasks, and the Dong family would definitely not let it go, and would definitely sue the governor's office.

Players in the Governor's Mansion can complete the next task.

Sure enough, Zeng Mu's prediction was right, Zhou Hao noticed the case as soon as he took office, and personally asked for the case handling authority.

Of course, players judging players is not the way to do this.

Zhou Hao first sent someone to interrogate Dong Qi, the housekeeper of the Dong family, and asked him about his confession.

After questioning for a while, Dong Qi only said that a group of masked men robbed slaves, but he was not sure that Zeng Mu did it.

Zhou Hao sent bad guys to search Liulinli again, but they didn't find any escaped slaves.

Now Zhou Hao simply listed all the evidence of this case in the dossier and handed it over to the overlord Sima Cui Tao.
