Lu Jin's courage to hold the Tian family and Zheng Dianshi accountable was certainly a big surprise to the people who heard the trial inside and outside, but for ordinary people, Wang Shifu's behavior of daring to accuse these two people in public in the court was even more shocking.

As the saying goes, the people don't fight with the officials, and the poor don't fight with the rich, this time Wang 15 committed both crimes. Many people were surprised, either thinking that Wang Shifu was crazy, or thinking that he was completely cornered, so they decided to make a move to break the net, but I am afraid that this net cannot be broken by such a small fish as him, even if he has given up his life.

Only a very small number of thoughtful people saw something abnormal, although Wang Shifu spoke a little stumbling, but the meaning was very clear, this is not like an ordinary person can be in the lobby in front of officials and so many people can behave, I am afraid there is another hidden behind this.

And that's exactly what happened.

Ordinary onlookers felt that Wang Fifteen was dying, and they dared to do this. But in fact, he knew in his heart that compared to the threat given to him by the uninvited guest who suddenly appeared at his house that night, suing the Tian family or something was nothing at all. He can still remember vividly what happened that night—

It was a night when the north wind was howling, and Wang Fifteen, who was sleeping in the nest, suddenly woke up, and then found that there was a dark shadow sitting next to him, and after seeing him wake up, a knife was put on his neck: "Don't make a sound, otherwise you will know the result." ”

"A good man spares his life, my family is already poor, and I really can't come up with any money......" Wang Fifteen was frightened for a while, and hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Don't worry, I'm not here to harm you, on the contrary, I'm here to help you." The man's voice was very low, his tone was very flat, and there was no fluctuation at all, but this made Wang Fifteen even more chilled: "Help me ......"

"I know your family changed a few months ago, are you going to keep it like this?"

"What if you can't bear to swallow your voice? My young son is still locked up in the county jail. ”

"I'm here for this matter, as long as you are willing to come forward to sue the Tian family and Zheng Fu, the county official who helped them behind their backs, I can guarantee that you and your family can get a fair trial, and your young son can come back safely to reunite with you."

"I'm just an ordinary person, where do I have the courage to sue them, even if I go, I won't be able to do anything."

"I have my own arrangement, you just have to do it. Otherwise, not only you, but your sixteen-year-old grandson will die. ”

This threat was so straightforward, but it immediately frightened Wang Fifteen, and now Wang Fifteen valued the life of his only remaining grandson. Moreover, the man also whispered: "Don't you want to avenge your two sons and grandsons and get justice?" ”

Being bewitched by such a threat and bewitchment, Wang Fifteen finally moved his heart and nodded to accept the matter. Then the man told him what he had said at the trial, and told him to remember it. At the end, he said: "As for when to go to the county government to complain, I will give you news when I arrive." By the way, it is impossible for ordinary lawsuits to have any effect, so I want you to beat the drum of grievances, and then the county magistrate will make the decision for you! ”

When Wang 15 recovered from the shock, he found that the other party had disappeared without a trace, and if he didn't remember everything clearly, he would think that he was dreaming.

And last night, the man reappeared, and agreed that he would come this morning to avenge his grievances. Wang Fifteen, who had no other way to think of, could only come hard, and judging from the current situation, things were really successful. This made him a little more afraid of the man in black, this guy not only came and went without a trace, but also made the people in the county government change their original attitudes, what a terrible guy this must be.

He didn't know that the one who really led all this was the Qingtian Grand Master Lu County Ling who was sitting above, and the ghostly black shadow that came and went was just a messenger from before.

@@@@@

In the whispering of everyone, Tian Kui, the old man of the Tian family, was finally brought into the lobby. As one of the wealthy people in the city, his mansion was not far from the county government, so after a while, he was brought over.

Originally, he was still a little strange, with his relationship with Zheng Fu, he couldn't receive the slightest rumor beforehand? It wasn't until I came to the lobby and saw the somewhat unfamiliar Lu Xianling sitting trying the case, but I didn't see Zheng Dianshi, that I felt that something was wrong.

But fortunately, he was also a person with some knowledge, so he quickly calmed down, and said while saluting: "Dare to ask your lordship, I don't know what crime the grass people have committed, and they should be called for interrogation like this?" ”

"Bold!" Unexpectedly, his question was exchanged for Lu Jin's reprimand, and then he knocked the shocked wood suddenly, stared at him and said, "Tian Kui, do you have a meritorious reputation?" ”

"This ...... Never. Tian Kui was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

"In that case, how dare you not kneel down when you see this official, and dare to stand there and talk loudly, it's really presumptuous!" Lu Zhen snorted and said, "Press him down for me and then talk back!" ”

Tian Kui realized what was going on, and he was annoyed for a while, but he was helpless. The Ming hierarchy system is quite strict, except for those who have talent and above fame who can only make an arch when they see officials, ordinary people have to kneel and kowtow. But because he has always had a good relationship with the county government and has an extraordinary identity, this article has long been ignored by him, and it was not until now that Lu Zhen proposed it, and he didn't think about it.

Tian Kui is also a person who can afford to let go, although he is unhappy, he still obediently takes the initiative to kneel down, and shouts: "The villain Tian Kui visits the lord of this county!" "After all, heroes don't eat the losses in front of them.

Everyone was excited when they saw this, Master Tian was also a well-known domineering figure in the county, and no one had ever seen him grovel like this.

"This time, the official will not punish you for your first offense, and next time, he will be severely punished." Lu Zhen taught another lesson, and then turned the conversation to the main topic: "Tian Kui, this official asks you, the current county people, Wang Fifteen, sued you for forcibly occupying his good land and killing people, are you guilty?" ”

"Go back to the master, the grass people are wronged." Tian Kui called out at that time: "The grass people have always been kind to others, how could they dare to do such a thing that violates the king's law." This is nothing more than his accusation. ”

"So, is it not true that Wang Fifteen sued your family for forcibly occupying his land, and that he sent people to kill his two sons and one grandson?" Lu Zhen looked at each other fixedly, his face extremely serious.

"I ......" Tian Kui subconsciously wanted to deny it, but he heard the discussion outside.

The Tian family is rampant in the county, and naturally everyone knows it, only because he colluded with Zheng Fu that everyone dared to be angry and dare not speak. Although half a year has passed since the affairs of Wang Fifteen's family, many people still remember that some people in the know couldn't help but say it outside at this time, and some words naturally fell into Tian Kui's ears.

Tian Kui, who wanted to deny it, was stunned for a moment, and then changed his mind. Today's attitude of the magistrate is too weird, he doesn't dare to take risks, so he said: "Master, the matter of buying land is indeed true, but it is wrongful to say that the grass people are forced to buy." As for killing, the grass people don't have the courage to do so. It was only because of the deviation in the price negotiated when buying the land at that time that the people of the Wang family came to the door without anger, and the grass people's house slave protector had a dispute with him. As a result, they accidentally hit the ground and fell to their deaths.

At that time, the grass people reported to the official, and it was also the case personally tried by Zheng Dianshi of the Yamen, and everyone knew the truth of the matter. After that, someone from the Wang family came to the yamen to disturb him, and he was imprisoned. I also hope that the adults will be clear, and the grass people will be innocent. ”

His words really have the ability to reverse black and white, and he actually put the responsibility for one thing on the Wang family, but his Tian family became the victim. Moreover, he also intentionally or unintentionally pulled the county government and Zheng Fu into the water, so if Lu Zhen wants to overturn the case, he has to weigh the severity.

Even Lu Zhen had been prepared, and he didn't feel a little frowning at this time. And Wang Fifteen below was even more frightened, he knew very well what was waiting for him and his grandson if he couldn't succeed this time, so he immediately kowtowed and shouted: "Master, the grass people are wronged, he ...... What he said was not the truth, my poor grandson and two sons were all beaten and killed by his family's evil slaves......" tears rolled down as he spoke, so pitiful.

"Wang Fifteen, you don't want to bite here, this matter is not what you said, when did my Tian family do such a thing, can you find someone to testify?" Tian Kui immediately retorted with a sneer, he was sure that no one would dare to stand up and speak for the Wang family, and it was not only himself who offended, but also Zheng Dianshi in the county government.

Indeed, not to mention the people who are just hearsay, even those who saw what happened with their own eyes that day, it is impossible for them to stand up and testify at this moment. This is not only because he is afraid of Tian Kui's power, but also because the people are naturally taboo about dealing with the government, who dares to enter the lobby to speak at this time.

"Shut up to the official, who is right and wrong in this matter, the official can make it clear!" Lu Zhen was shocked again, and after controlling the scene, he swept his eyes over the two of them, and quickly made calculations in his heart.

At this moment, a person had slowly walked in outside, his pale face was full of gloom, but it was Zheng Fu who finally rushed back. He didn't expect Lu Jin to make such a big fuss, which made him even more annoyed, but he had always been gloomy, but he didn't know whether he should just go in and openly make enemies with Lu Jin.

It wasn't until he saw the somewhat embarrassing silence in the hall that his heart was certain, and the matter was obviously not completely controlled by Lu Jin, which was a great thing for Zheng Fu: "In that case, why don't I wait for you to make a fool of yourself before coming out to preside over the overall situation." Then I can take the opportunity to kick you out of the county office. ”
