Chapter 129: Qing

"County Honor, can you ask?"

"Excuse me."

"Why is the county's face so dark? Could it be that he was poisoned? ”

"It's innate."

"The bright moon on the forehead, will it fall?"

"No, it won't."

"But what if it falls?"

"That's when the miracle happens."

After staying with Li Tai for a while, everyone and Li Tai became familiar.

Suddenly found that Li Tai was a person who was a little greedy, but he was still very easy to get along with.

Bored playing in the back hall, this county government is the first time to come in, and I am still quite curious about the county office.

The layout inside is somewhat inconsistent with feng shui and garden art, which makes Li Tai very unhappy.

"County Honor, it's time to ascend." Zhang Huaiyu came to Li Tai's side and said in a low voice.

"Ascension, what are you doing?" Li Tai asked.

Zhang Huaiyu said: "Someone complained, as a county honor, you naturally have to handle the case impartially." ”

"For impartial handling of cases, it is not possible to collect a penny from the people." Li Tai said.

"The county is really a high wind and bright festival." Zhang Huaiyu hurriedly sent a sycophant.

"Very good, you sycophant, I like it very much, hahaha......" Li Tai patted Zhang Huaiyu on the shoulder and laughed.

Then, under the leadership of Zhang Huaiyu, he walked towards the lobby.

"Pass the plaintiff, pass the defendant!" Li Tai sat on the main hall and said loudly, wanting to find a piece of shocking wood to knock on to show his majesty, but there was no shocking wood.

There is no piece of bamboo that can decide a person's life with a single loss, which makes Li Tai very uncomfortable.

After a while, two figures walked in from outside.

Two people, one looked like an old farmer, the other looked like a second-rate man.

"Meet the county!"

The two men came in and bowed.

Needless to say, this second-rate person must be a criminal!

"Who is the one who kneels down in the hall?" Li Tai said, seeing that the situation was not right, he hurriedly said: "Who is the next station?" ”

The Tang Dynasty did not kneel, and the ancients did not kneel.

Kneeling was only available in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and in the Qing Dynasty, kneeling reached its peak, but some people couldn't stand up after kneeling for a long time.

"You, who are the plaintiffs and who are the defendants?" Li Tai asked loudly.

When the two looked up, they saw a black face, their eyes wide, looking at themselves.

The two of them were suddenly startled, thinking that they had seen a black-faced ghost in broad daylight.

"Old man...... The old man is innocent. The old farmer hurriedly made a gesture and said, "The old man is innocent, really, the old man is really innocent." ”

"Innocent? stole my family's cattle and said he was innocent! The young second-rate man suddenly quit.

"I didn't steal your cow!"

"Why is my cow at your house?"

"How does the old man know? The old man is not your cow! ”

“……”

The two quarreled, and the second-rate man couldn't compete with the old farmer.

"Okay, okay, this place is above the public court, and justice is at ease in the hearts of the people! Right and wrong have their own laws! Li Tai's fist slammed on the desk and made a loud noise, which was able to stop the voices of the two men.

Li Tai suddenly sighed secretly, in later generations, when the common people saw the officials, they were all trembling, and there were not many people in the Tang Dynasty who were afraid of the government.

Hey, what the hell is going on?

"Back to the county, the old man's name is Liu Da, the word is far away, it is a farmer in Liu Zhuang, this morning the old man walked to the door of Liu Ha's house, and saw a rope falling on the ground, and then I picked it up, who would have thought that the other end of the rope was tied to a cow." The old farmer spoke.

"So, you just pulled that rope home? By the way, the cow also followed back to your house? Li Tai asked.

"County Zun, you really know everything." Liu Da opened his mouth and said: "This picked up a rope on the road, it doesn't violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty, right?" ”

"Do you still know that picking up rope doesn't violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty?" The corners of Li Tai's mouth showed a hint of playfulness.

"That is, the old man used to be a reader, and he has read a lot of books." Liu Da showed a hint of smugness on his face.

It's really a man who can't look good, and the sea can't fight.

This person who looks like an old farmer in a mountain village is actually such a person!

What a treacherous loyalty!

"I'm still a reader." Li Tai smiled, the people who can study in these years are either rich or noble, even if they are from a down-and-out family, their ancestors have been generous.

"That is, as the saying goes, only knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, and knowing is knowing." Liu Da proudly played off.

"Since you know the law of the Tang Dynasty, why do you still know the law and break the law, this is simply a shame for the reader!" Li Tai asked angrily.

"County Zun, the old man just picked up a rope on the road, how can he break the law?" Liu Da smiled slightly and said, "How can there be such a reason in this world!" ”

Li Tai asked, "Don't you see that there is a cow on the rope?" ”

"There is a cow on the rope, that is the matter of the rope, this person who violates the law of the Tang Dynasty is a rope, what does it have to do with me? I'm picking up a rope, not leading a cow, and the cow is willing to follow the rope, and I can't stop it, right? Liu Da said.

Li Tai was furious: "Sophistry, you are simply quibbling!" ”

Aren't you fooling Lao Tzu?

"Don't dare, don't dare, some of us are children of famous families!" The smug look on Liu Da's face became even stronger.

"Come on, the facts of the case are already clear, Liu Da stole the farming cattle, the crime is extremely heinous, and he will be pulled down by fifty boards." Li Tai said angrily.

Lao Tzu doesn't care if you are famous or not, if you commit a crime, you will commit a crime, so many twists and turns!

"Your Highness, this ...... If these fifty boards go down, people will be wasted. Li Zhong next to him hurriedly reminded Li Tai in a low voice.

"What then?" Li Tai asked.

"According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, cattle thieves will be imprisoned for one year." Li Zhong said.

"Okay, then play ten boards, one year." Li Tai said: "Since the cow belongs to Liu Ha, then Liu Ha will take it back by himself." ”

"Thank you, thank you!" Liu Ha was extremely happy.

However, Liu Da quit and asked loudly, "I am not guilty, why did you beat me?" ”

"Who hit you? That's a stick thing, you should ask the stick, ask me what to do? Li Tai smiled coldly and said, "Pull it out and let the stick touch his ass fiercely!" ”

"Whoa!"

The two officials stood up and pulled Liu Da out, and in Liu Da's unwillingness, the stick fell on his ass fiercely.

Listening to the painful voice one by one, Li Tai smiled coldly.

"The rope thing, the stick thing, the special thing, you really think you're Gongsun Long? Even if you are Gongsun Long, Lao Tzu is not so easy to fool. Li Tai said secretly.
