Chapter 1109 The magistrate of Linhu County

With such a clamor, Xu Hu wanted to beat someone again, but Xiao Yuan stopped him: "Okay."

"Yes." Xu Hu responded, threw away the bench in his hand, and even glared at the man before returning to Xiao Yuan.

This black store is like a bottle of mineral water costs 500 yuan. If you drink it without knowing it, you have to pay it. If you don’t give it, you won’t let you leave. It’s extremely slaughtering customers and blatantly.

I guess many passers-by have suffered a great loss here. As foreigners, they are not familiar with the place, and most of them think they are unlucky and leave it alone.

Such stores are light when they are demolished.

At this moment, the store was smashed, and the movement naturally attracted the attention of the people nearby. Many people gathered not far away and pointed and whispered.

It is probably because someone had reported to the official before. Just as Xiao Yuan and his team were about to leave, five or six officers and soldiers walked over quickly, and the leading low-level officer also shouted: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

The officers and soldiers separated the crowd and entered the stadium. The officers first glanced at the mess everywhere and the few people lying on the ground wailing, then looked at Xiao Yuan and the others, and asked coldly: "What's going on!"

Before he could speak, the black shop saw that the officers and soldiers had arrived, and they screamed in grief:

"Official, they don't pay for tea when they eat tea, and they even smashed the shop and made us look like this..."

"The official must be the master of the villain..."

The big man with a kitchen knife who had just threatened fiercely is now crawling on the ground, snot and tears, pretending to be so kind.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yuan was happy.

The officer glanced at him with a sharp look and said tremblingly: "It's outrageous! In broad daylight, he dared to commit murder and hurt people and smash shops. He was really unscrupulous!"

"Do you all listen to one-sided words in Linhu County?" Xiao Yuan was calm.

"Of course not." The officer said decisively: "People involved in this case should have a detailed investigation and then make a conclusion."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and said, "Take it all away!"

Following his orders, the rest of the officers and soldiers moved together.

They actually wanted to take the king away. In this situation, Liang Yuan and Xu Hu were not willing to do it. Just as they were about to be furious, Xiao Yuan stopped them and said, "Follow them."

"This, young master!"

The two were very anxious, and Xiao Yuan signaled and said to the officer: "A kind reminder, it is best to take some of the herbal teas from this tea shop, so that you will not have to come back again."

"Oh? Is it physical evidence?" The officer moved his heart. After thinking about it, he stopped talking and raised his head to a soldier.

Then, the three black shops and Xiao Yuan and the others were taken away by the officers and soldiers. The onlookers followed behind because of the fun. The waiter was taken to treat him.

The city is not very big. Not long after, the group of people arrived at the county government.

Both sides entered the lobby, and the people gathered outside the hall. On both sides of the lobby, there were several sword-bearing guards standing.

After several cases located directly above the Linhu County Magistrate, before the trial, he had already learned about some of the situation from the officers and asked in a deep voice: "Is the shopkeeper of Shenji Tea Shop in the hall?"

"It's the villain." The three people in the black shop knelt on the ground, and the big man with a kitchen knife said: "The villain is doing small business and has always been abiding by the law. But who knew that today I met a robber and ate the tea in the shop. Not only did I not pay for money, but I also smashed the villain's shop. The villain was also beaten instead. Look at the wounds on the villain..."

"Yes, sir, please ask you to take charge of us..." The other two also cried.

The county magistrate frowned slightly, first glanced at the bruised and swollen people, then looked at Xiao Yuan and the others, and asked coldly: "Are you waiting to commit the crime?"

"I've beaten." Xu Hu returned immediately.

Unexpectedly, he was so direct and didn't even make a quibble. It was not until this time that the county magistrate found that the three of them were not kneeling at all. He couldn't help but be furious and slapped the table:

"Bold! How dare you not kneel down when you see me in the court?"

A king, a tiger marquis, and a capital guard commander. If he really wants to kneel down, how can he have his life?

Xu Hu didn't say anything, but subconsciously looked at Xiao Yuan. The latter smiled slightly and said to the county magistrate: "You don't have to kneel down. He has served as a soldier and has a meritorious title. The county magistrate can just try the case."

"Yeah?" The county magistrate showed some suspicion, but then he thought that he pretended to be a meritorious soldier, but he did not get too entangled with the crime of beheading: "Okay, I will find out the military status soon. If you commit fraud, you should know the consequences."

As he said that, he said again: "Even if you are a soldier who has made contributions, you can smash other people's shops and commit crimes in the streets, what crime should you be punished!"

"The county magistrate should know whether this tea shop is a serious businessman." In fact, Xiao Yuan and the others can just show their identities, and the matter can be settled directly, but he wanted to see if the county magistrate was in a sympathy with the bully.

Hearing this, the Linhu County Magistrate also raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"

Xiao Yuan said straight to the point: "Today I rested on the street and drank a bowl of herbal tea, but I was asked for thirty taels of silver. This is the cause of the incident."

"What!?" The county magistrate was also surprised and looked at the shopkeeper again: "A bowl of herbal tea, thirty taels of silver!"

At this time, the man was already a little panicked and explained in a trembling voice: "Sir, the herbal tea in the villain's tea shop is all made of the best tea leaves, and thirty taels of silver is just a life."

The county magistrate is not a fool, how is it possible to be a street stall? He didn't talk too much nonsense and said to the officer directly: "Go and go to Shenji Tea Shop to get some herbal tea to see if what he said is true."

"I have brought herbal tea in advance. After inspection, it is a bad tea that can be drunk. Please check it out." The officer presented the herbal tea and did not forget to look at Xiao Yuan.

The herbal tea was poured into a bowl and placed on several cases. The county magistrate first picked it up and looked at it, then tasted it lightly, then put it down heavily, and said angrily: "Bold! This is just a bowl of tea that costs one penny per bowl on the street. Are you ignorant? You, a traitor, dare to blackmail the shopkeepers like this and ask for thirty taels of silver! It's so outrageous!"

"Ah!?" The three kneeling down were shocked, but they were still quibbling. At that time, the public's legal awareness was generally low. In their opinion, when they opened a black shop and the guests drank tea, the other party had to give it to them.

But after hearing his statement, the county magistrate became even more angry: "Stop the mouth! You and other traitors! You really have no laws! According to the "Qin Law Commentary", if the merchant is unscrupulous and sells harmful things, causing the buyer to be poisoned, he will be punished for one year, and he will be punished with a hard worker at the same time. If the buyer dies, he will be punished by hanging; if other things are mixed, he will be defrauded of gold and silver, and he will be punished for forty; if he is forced to buy and sell, he will be sealed and imprisoned, and he will be punished with severe punishment!"

"Your situation is even more important than buying and selling for a penny! How dare you ask for thirty taels of silver for a piece of money! It's really a blackmail!"
