Chapter 255 is being beaten
Later, some guards brought Chen Xiang up.

Seeing Chen Xiang kneeling under the hall, the magistrate grabbed the gavel and patted it, "Who is kneeling under the hall? What grievances do you want to report?"

"I report to the county magistrate, the villain is Chen Xiang, the Lizheng of Chenjiazhuang. A man-eating tiger has come up in our village. Please forgive me and send some messengers to help us get rid of this disaster!" Chen Xiang would also What happened, said, and kowtowed to the county magistrate.

Seeing that he had already told the matter, Chen An came out, clasped his hands together and said, "My lord, this subordinate has something to say!"

"Oh?" The county magistrate was taken aback for a moment, and then said. "I forgot, it seems that Butou Chen belongs to the Chen family village. I wonder if you have anything to report?"

Chen An glanced at Chen Xiang, and said, "The matter is of great importance, please allow your subordinates to report to the back hall!"

"Huh?" The county magistrate's face was very ugly, but he pondered for a moment, thinking that since he took office, he originally wanted to find Chen An's fault, so that he could take the position of head arrester. Let Zhang Qian, who was brought to the capital for him, be able to act on his own.

But unexpectedly, this Chen An turned out to be an upright person. For many days, he didn't let him catch any mistakes. Not only that, Chen An also helped him a lot in the open and in the dark, which allowed him to be here. Liaocheng gained a foothold so smoothly.

Therefore, he also trusted Chen An and regarded him as his confidant.

At this time, he suddenly obstructed himself from handling the case, he didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd, but he still nodded, "Alright, if that's the case, then come with me to the back hall!"

He said, stood up, came to sit down in the back hall, "tell me, what's the matter you want to tell me?"

Chen An lowered his voice and said, "My lord, do you still remember that drunk man?"

Hearing him mention the wine lunatic, the magistrate couldn't help frowning, "Of course I remember, could it be related to him?"

That wine lunatic is highly skilled in martial arts and has a strange identity. He has not been able to figure out the origin of the wine lunatic so far, and he has always been in a bad mood.

Chen An said: "That tiger was raised by that drunkard."

"What?" With just this sentence, I was shocked to learn that the magistrate stood up from the stool, staring at Chen An with his eyes like copper bells. "You... Seriously?"

Chen An nodded, "Absolutely, if there is even half a lie, the subordinate is willing to be punished by the adults!"

The county magistrate pondered for a moment, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, a slight smile suddenly appeared on his serious face, "Chen An, since I came to Liaocheng to be the county magistrate, I have received a lot of love from you, I remember it all."

"This is what subordinates should do!" Chen An said modestly.

The county magistrate looked dignified, and said softly: "Last time you told me that the wine lunatic is Miss Ye's uncle, isn't it true?"

"Villains dare not lie to adults."

A slight smile appeared on Zhixian's face. "Chen An, I would like to thank you for saving my life. If you forgive me or not, don't say it again. Don't worry, I won't treat you poorly."

"My lord, you are too serious!" Chen An then told the county magistrate what Du Xihua said to him just now. "My subordinates dare not act without authorization, so I ask your lord's permission to let my subordinates go down and find out, what is the route of this salt merchant's family from the East China Sea? In my Liaocheng territory, they dared to force their way into the homes of ordinary people. "

Di Yong nodded slowly and said: "Okay, since that's the case, you can just let go and do it. You must find out what's going on. The safety of the people in Liao City is the safety of this official!"

"Thank you for your kindness, my lord. After I get out of the hall, I will lead someone to investigate."

With an idea in mind, Di Yong re-opened the hall, and after sitting down, he slapped the gavel hard, "Doo! You unscrupulous person, as Li Zheng, the head of a village, doesn't want to seek welfare for the villagers, but only wants to Thinking of framing your neighbors, framing your neighbors, what crime should you be? Come on, pull down and punish the twenty big boards!"

Li Zheng, who came to file a complaint, couldn't help being taken aback. He was almost scared to pee by his verdict, and hurriedly shouted: "My lord, the grass people are wronged! Why did the grass people frame the neighbors? Then there is really a tiger in the Ye family... ..."

"If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will take your Li Zheng position! Retire!" Di Yong said, got up and walked to the back hall, making it clear that he was partial to the Ye family.

Chen An was at the side, heaving a sigh of relief, and with a wave of his hand, he led the servants forward, holding Lizheng down with a smile on his face.

"Brother Xiang, this is an adult's decision, don't blame us." He said to Chen Xiang with a half-smile, and then asked someone to push Chen Xiang to the ground, stripped his pants, and beat him twenty times.

Naturally, Chen Xiang was beaten to the point of crying and howling. When his own father died, he never cried so sadly.

Chen An called a flatbed truck for him and asked someone to take him home.

Lady Lizheng saw him like this, she was terrified immediately, and cried, "I can't live anymore, didn't you go to sue? How did someone beat him like this? Is there any law for this?" ? Why are those who complained still beaten?"

"Don't cry! You prodigal bitch!" Chen Xiang was in pain, and when he heard her crying, he felt upset and lay down on the kang and scolded. "It's all caused by you, a prodigal bitch. If you didn't bring someone to Ye's house, how could you do such a thing?"

"You old man, what are you talking about? It's clear that you told me to lead someone there!" Lady Lizheng was a savage, and when he heard him complaining about herself, she immediately exploded and shouted at the top of her voice. "That woman clearly said that she wanted to be close to relatives and neighbors. How did I know that they wanted to live in Ye's house? How did I know that Ye's family had a big tiger?"

"What? What did you prodigal bitch say? That woman surnamed Qian wants to live in Ye's house?" Chen Xiang heard something from his own woman's words, and suddenly understood why the beating on his ass was happening. here.

He remembered that at the gate of the yamen, he first met the little servant bought by the Ye family. The boy surnamed Du was talking to Chen An. Chen An had always been close to the Ye family. The two families were related, so he Guess, the kid surnamed Du must have gone to sue Chen An.

And when the magistrate was promoted to the hall, it was Chen An who invited the magistrate to the back hall to talk, and the attitude of the magistrate changed when he came back.

"Chen An!" He gritted his teeth and called Chen An's name with a ferocious expression. "How dare you hurt me!"

"What did you say? Did Chen An harm you?" Mrs. Lizheng remembered when he heard Chen An mentioned. "I'm still surprised. Chen An in our village is the head arrester in the yamen. The county magistrate looks at the Buddha's face even if he doesn't look at the monk's face. How could he beat you so hard? It turned out that he was the one who did something bad."

Li Zheng lady said, Huo Di stood up, "No, I can't swallow this breath, I'm going to block the door and scold him!"

"Come back here!" Seeing that his mother-in-law was about to go out and cause trouble as soon as she got hot-headed, Chen Xiang was so angry that he stopped her. "He is now a big celebrity in front of the county magistrate, and he can't afford to offend him. If he is offended, what should I do if I bring someone to arrest you and put you in prison?"

"According to what you said, just bear it? You have been beaten like this by them, no matter what, you should go to them for some medicine money."

"What the hell, don't hurry up and hire a doctor for me, I'm going to die of pain..."

……

Du Xihua was at the gate of the county government office, after seeing the excitement, he went to the market to buy what Ye Weilan wanted, and when he came back, it was already noon.

After he put down the basket, Ye Weilan called him into the house and asked him what happened in front of everyone in the family, "Brother Xihua, how is it? What did Uncle Chen say?"

Sui Youran said: "Jiayin, go to the kitchen and bring Xihua a bowl of mung bean soup. It's really hard for you, the sun, to travel such a long distance."

Du Xihua smiled honestly, and then said: "Mrs. Hui, Miss Hui, I went to the yamen and told Uncle Chen about it. Uncle Chen sent me back and said he would handle it. And That is, the people in our village are going to the yamen to file a complaint, saying that our family has a tiger and wants the magistrate to send someone to our house to catch the tiger, but the magistrate beat the board."

"Oh?" Ye Weilan felt a little relieved after hearing this, she knew without thinking that it must be Chen An who helped to speak, otherwise, it would not be Du Xihua who came back now, but a group of wolves and tigers.

She said to Du Xihua: "It's a hot day, it's really hard for you to run this trip, go and have a rest."

After Du Xihua drank a bowl of mung bean soup, he went to the backyard to rest.

Ye Weilan thought for a while, and then said to Sui Youran: "Mother, this incident has caused such a big commotion, and Uncle Chen has a relationship with Aunt Ying, so naturally he won't say anything, but Uncle Chen still has people who want to Check it out, we didn't follow the normal way to report to the officials, he is purely a personal helper, so he has to take care of all the people under him, the court is not short of hungry soldiers, so I want to give him 100 taels of silver. "

Sui Youran nodded, "That's true, you are in charge of this family now, you don't have to tell me everything about this kind of thing in the future, you have earned the money so hard, you can use it if you want , Mother believes that you will not spend money recklessly."

Ye Weilan agreed with her mother's words very much, she knew how to use the money, so she took out the money box from the hidden compartment of the kang cabinet, took out a gold ingot of ten taels from it, gave it to Song Hengzhi, and sent Song Hengzhi to the city Exchange the gold.

The stupid horse in the stable had weak legs and was useless. Song Hengzhi couldn't drive the carriage, so he had to walk.

Ten taels of gold can be exchanged for 240 taels of silver. Unlike exchanging silver bills, the exchange of gold and silver requires as much as 240 draws. The fee for gold and silver exchange is [-] draws, which is [-] taels of silver. One, it's two, two or four.

In the end, what he could get was 230 seven taels of silver, and more than 200 taels of silver, not too much, not too much, so Ye Weilan asked Du Xihua to accompany him again, so the two of them had a good company.
