Escape from the desert

"We came to report to the officials, but the yamen servant said that our case is too small to be tried by the county magistrate." Lin Nan said in a displeased tone, clutching the wound on his waist.

Shangguan Mingzhi's face turned cold immediately, and he said to the yamen servant: "What are you, it's up to you to decide whether the case needs to be tried by the county magistrate."

The yamen's face turned pale, and he trembled in fright, he knew that this group of country thugs knew Shangguan, and it seemed that Shangguan was quite polite to them.

He bit the bullet and put Jiang Yan and the others aside. Cheng Dezhu, the mayor of Yong'an Town, and Lord Shangguan are also good friends, so he probably wouldn't let a group of unscrupulous people slander Cheng Dezhu.

After Shangguan Mingzhi listened, he became even angrier, and his voice was cold and oppressive: "Aunt Jiang is not only my friend, but also a noble person of your County Magistrate Li. Since it is Cheng Dezhu who is suing, then it is not If it’s a small case, immediately notify the court to try it.”

The Yacha was stunned when he heard the words. Shangguan Mingzhi was a distinguished guest of the county magistrate, and they usually greeted each other with salutes. Such a person was actually friends with a village woman, and even said that the village woman was an honored person of the county magistrate.

He was not a fool either, he immediately bowed to everyone, and then went to the county office to inform.

At this time, Shangguan Mingzhi swung his eyes and scanned the group of people, but he didn't find his son. He asked suspiciously: "Dogzi likes to be noisy, didn't you come with me today?"

Speaking of this, Jiang Yan nodded angrily: "No, he and Wangcai are still feeding chickens and ducks in Linjia Village. Speaking of this, Shangguan shopkeeper, I don't know when you will come to pick up the young master?"

Shangguan Mingzhi blushed: "..."

He has always been free to Shangguan Zixuan. As long as there is no safety issue, the little fat man can go wherever he wants. This time he went to Linjiacun. The next day, I slipped my backpack and ran home, but who knew that I have been living here until now.

He said awkwardly: "Please, Aunt Jiang, this kid is very playful, so please wait for a few more days. If you need anything, just ask, and I will definitely give it to you."

Jiang Yan resisted the urge to roll her eyes. This father acted like a hands-off shopkeeper. Just as she was about to say something, Huang Xiancheng came out with a smile, beckoning a group of people to the yamen.

When County Magistrate Li saw Jiang Yan, he was so excited that he wanted to hug him. The eagerness in his eyes was even crazier than last time. line of sight.

She knew that County Magistrate Li was grateful to him for the farm tools. The village chief and Li Zheng sent them to the county government the next day after the farm tools were ready.

Immediately, he carefully wrote a letter with thousands of words and sent it to Fucheng. He just got a reply early this morning. The people escorted these two agricultural tools to the imperial city, and only waited for the emperor to see them and spread them to the world.

For County Magistrate Li, it is a great thing to benefit the people and the world in this way, but more importantly, his name will also be seen by the emperor in the letter, and the emperor will personally reward him. Everything was brought by Jiang Yan's family, so he can't wait to enshrine this family at this moment.

Be a VIP?Do not!To be an ancestor!

"That's how it happened. Fighting among children is not a trivial matter. At their age, they are hurt and insulted, and it is easy to cause psychological problems. They become timid and introverted. They may not be able to think about it. Moreover, as far as I know, Cheng It's not the first time that the young master has done something like this, and it's not the first time that Cheng Dezhu has shielded him!"

Jiang Yan briefly described the process, fearing that County Magistrate Li would not understand what a mental illness is, she also briefly explained it in a calm but eloquent tone, and she was serious about every word.

There are not many such cases in the yamen. There are high-ranking officials or powerful merchants who bully ordinary poor people. Examples like this can be seen everywhere, and most of them have not been brought to the yamen. Those people also have some ways to fabricate, unless they kill people, they will end up turning major incidents into minor incidents.

But Jiang Yan was resolute, and asked Li County Magistrate to thoroughly investigate Cheng Dezhu, suspecting that he was exploiting the people, ignoring the king's law, and oppressing the merchants.

Each of these piles is a sin that can be punished.

County magistrate Li nodded repeatedly, convinced of Jiang Yan's words. Jiang Yan was a noble person on the road of life to him, so he was very willing to help her, and immediately hit the chopping board: "Send someone to Yong'an Town to invite the mayor of Yong'an Town And his son, thoroughly investigate Cheng Dezhu, and tomorrow morning, he will go to court for trial!"

It takes a lot of time for Yongan Town to get to the county seat, plus it needs to collect information and thoroughly investigate Cheng Dezhu, so he was promoted to the court the next day. The county magistrate wanted to let Jiang Yan's family rest in the inner courtyard, but Jiang Yan refused and took the family out of the house. County government.

Shangguan Mingzhi also had several houses in Linfang County, and Jiang Yan refused several invitations, so he had to introduce an inn to Jiang Yan and the others, and then left.

This inn is called "Sifang Inn", implying that guests from all directions come from all directions. The group of people has been tossing around for a day, and their bodies are still wounded. Jiang Yan no longer visits other inns, and follows the route guided by Shangguan Mingzhi. to the inn.

This inn is the largest inn in Linfang County. It is a three-story building divided into two grades, one is the upper class room, the other is the lower class room, and the other is the Datong shop. Because it is not far from the wharf, the business It is extremely hot, almost full every day, and those merchants and pawns usually stay here for one night before leaving.

The upper-class room is expensive, and it costs [-] Wen per night, while the lower-class room costs [-] Wen per night, including a breakfast. The Datong shop is cheaper, [-] Wen per night, and dozens of people share a room. Breakfast, but there is hot water supply.

The Datong shop is similar to a kang, the room is a concave shape, there is no quilt, there is a thin mattress on the ground, and a group of people lie on it like silkworm chrysalis, and the people who live in the Datong shop are usually porters. Big man, smelly feet, sweat, body odor, armpit odor, and various smells mixed together, it was very unpleasant. Jiang Yan just took a look and hurried out of the room.

The inferior room is better. The room is not big. It is a small single room with a wooden frame bed, futons and small tables. Although it is a bit cramped, it is generally good.

The upper-class rooms are larger, with spacious rooms and big beds, and the bedding underneath is softer. The windows of each room face the street, so you can see the outside situation directly. The most important thing is that you can bathe in a wooden barrel After hearing Xiaoer's introduction, Jiang Yan immediately decided to book a superior room.

Now that she has a lot of money, she doesn't want to treat herself badly, and even more wants to take a good bath. In Linjiacun, she always carries a basin of water to dry her body. Although it is considered a bath, it is not as comfortable as taking a bath!
