Chapter 82 Punish the Bully (5)
Lin Xiaoxi also looked embarrassed at the moment, and even asked Qin Ye and shopkeeper Zhou, can she not go to court to test?
But the fact is cruel, she has no choice but to go.

Seeing the nervousness of the two of them, Lin Xiaoqiao suddenly calmed down for some reason, and tried to comfort Li and Lin Xiaoxi as much as possible.

I don't know whether it was Lin Xiaoqiao's consolation that had an effect, or Qin Ye's promise to arrange together and accompany them to the court, which made Li feel at ease.

In short, when they reached the gate of the county government office, Li Shi and Lin Xiaoxi looked much better at this time, and they were no longer as nervous as before.

A group of people waited until they arrived at the gate of the county yamen. Because Qin Ye had sent people to vote for the greeting card before, there were already officials waiting here. When they saw them, they led Qin Ye to the back yamen first, and Lin Xiaoqiao's mother and daughter Here awaits the summons.

After Qin Ye entered, the county magistrate quickly came out and was promoted to the court before it was time for a cup of tea. He was ready to hear the case of "bully bullying the good", and Lin Xiaoqiao's mother and daughter were passed on In court.

As soon as they stepped into the county government hall, the first thing that caught their eyes was a young man in official uniform, black gauze hat and mustache.

I saw the county magistrate Shen slapped the gavel, and the two neat rows of yamen servants in the lower hall kept beating the ground with their wooden sticks, while shouting "mighty—" a sense of majesty The trend is like this scattered!
Lin Xiaoqiao slandered inwardly, this battle was really exactly the same as in the costume dramas he watched before, he didn't expect that he would actually experience such a time himself.

Lin Xiaoqiao had been standing dreaming, his thoughts drifting away, but Li Shi and Lin Xiaoxi had already knelt down to see the county magistrate Shen.

"Who is in the hall, why don't you kneel when you see me?" County magistrate Shen, who was sitting in front of the desk in the hall, saw Lin Xiaoqiao's absent-minded look, and asked.

"Ah - I have seen the county magistrate, the girl was frightened by the majesty of the court just now, so she didn't kneel down in time, and I hope the county magistrate will not care about the girl." Lin Xiaoqiao replied Come on, when I heard the questioning from the county magistrate, I pretended to be very panicked, and quickly made excuses for my gaffe!

But in her heart she was so annoyed that she was dying, this is a different world, how many times has she knelt before and after, and how many times has she knelt down?How is it so unlucky?
After hearing Lin Xiaoqiao's answer, the Shen county magistrate naturally didn't care too much about it. He had already negotiated with Young Master Qin in the back hall of the yamen. Seeing that he was so concerned about this case, he even accompanied the mother and daughter in person. When the three of them came over, it could be seen that they had a very close relationship.

Therefore, Shen County Magistrate walked down the steps and said: "Don't do this again next time. This time, I won't argue with you and a child! Three people in the hall, get up and answer. What grievances do you have? Hurry up!" Come on."

Hearing the majestic words of the county magistrate Shen, Mrs. Li thought of the thrilling things that happened today, and recalled the evil deeds of those bullies. At this moment, she still felt terrified, stroked her chest, knelt down and said, "My lord, civilian woman It is a family from Shanglin Township. In order to supplement the family income, today I brought my two daughters to the West Street Market in the town to set up a stall and sell some snacks made by myself. At noon, the women saw that the market had already There was no one left, so I wanted to pack up my things and prepare to go home. However, at this time, a group of burly bullies came and kept pointing at the women for protection money. The women knew that they were not their opponents, so they wanted to calm down , spending money to eliminate disasters. Unexpectedly, they opened their mouths like a lion and asked the women for ten taels of silver. , so I explained to them nicely and begged them to let the three of us mother and daughter go. But these tyrants refused to accept it. When they heard that there was no money, they took out a dagger to threaten the women, and threatened to kill us. My two daughters were sold to a brothel! Fortunately, the little girl of the civilian woman was clever and figured out a way to escape, and recruited officials to save the mother and daughter of the civilian woman... Those bullies are really hateful, the civilian woman is This is the first time for a woman from a farmer who has done her best to set up a stall in the town, but she has encountered such a thing. How did she offend these bullies and bring about such a disaster? The woman is really scared and panicked. Extremely, I hope that your lord will see clearly and punish these bullies severely, and make decisions for the women and their two daughters!"

After saying these words, Mrs. Li was already a little weeping, and she was very excited!

Mrs. Li's words have clearly explained what happened today. After listening to the county magistrate Shen, he said to the mother and daughter of Mrs. Li who were kneeling in the hall: "Don't worry, if this is the truth, I will The officials will definitely punish the wicked and make decisions for you. Now the three of you stand aside first, and wait for the officials to hear the case clearly."

Then he patted the gavel again and said, "Bring the prisoner to court for trial!"

Soon, the yamen guards escorted the group of bullies to the court, Lin Xiaoqiao saw them, a kind of hatred for meeting enemies surged in his heart, and he really wanted to rush up and beat them up.

"The prisoners in the hall, what is their name, where do they live, and report their names one by one." County magistrate Shen asked.

At this time, those bullies were no longer as arrogant as before, and were kneeling on the ground obediently, reporting their names one by one.

It turned out that the bully leader was originally named "Wang Dagou" from Baishui Village. Because he had nothing to do and was a little idle, he came to the town, met a group of rogue bullies, and made a living by collecting protection fees from stall owners in the market. Bullying the good and fearing the evil all day long, doing nothing, he is known as "Wang Da".

And the second-ranked bully with a big temper, whose original name is "Tian Yougui" is a foreigner, and because he was ignorant and incompetent since he was a child, he seemed to have offended some noble person in this town, so he ran to Anping Town to fool around and get acquainted with him. After getting Wang Dagou, he has been helping him to do a lot of evil.

After they had finished explaining their basic situation, County Magistrate Shen said sharply: "You unscrupulous people, ignorant and incompetent all day long, doing evil and doing evil, is really abominable! How did you bully the good today? Tell me quickly. clear!"

Since they were caught by the officials when they did evil today, they couldn't tolerate their excuses at all, so they had to tell the truth.

"Today, in the name of collecting protection fees, our brothers bullied three mothers and daughters who set up stalls in the West Street Market. Because they couldn't afford the money, we took some illegal means and measures... Caomin I have explained everything clearly, and I hope you will forgive me and punish me lightly. From now on, the grassroots will definitely change their minds, abandon evil and turn to good, and start a new life!" Wang Da replied first after hearing the county magistrate's question.

After listening to Wang Da's statement, the rest of the people begged for mercy, and they all followed suit, begging the county magistrate to forgive them and give them a lighter punishment.
