Chapter 118 You are white
"Jiangxing City is worthy of being a famous city in the South China Region, and it is indeed rich and prosperous!"
Walking on the street, Chen Yu couldn't help but sigh. Jiangxing City in Songnan Prefecture is one of the largest cities even in the entire Nanhua area. There are many shops on both sides of the street, with crowds of people, rippling cars and horses, and the bustling hustle and bustle.
There were endless hawking sounds on the street, groceries and snacks were everywhere. Looking up, there were shop flags floating high everywhere. There were even more cheers from the people from the juggling artists.
The river passes through Changxing City, with small bridges and flowing water. Thousands of sails are scrambling to flow above it, and merchant ships are endless, making people feel as if they are in a magnificent picture, which shows its prosperity and prosperity.
However, there were many beggars bent over the corner of the street than he had seen before. Even in the more remote places like Bai'an County, there were not so many beggars in it.
Chen Yu knew very well that if he hadn't been able to survive, who would have been willing to abandon his dignity and become a beggar? Under the wealth of Jiangxingcheng, what is hidden is the hardships and hardships of a large number of people.
"Sir, why are there so many people outside the government office?"
Following the main road in the city, the two of them soon arrived near the government office. However, at this moment, there were many people outside the government office, and many people were talking about something. And looking at that look, most of them seemed to shook their heads and sighed.
"Let's go and take a look!" Through the crowd, Chen Yu also saw the situation in the government office. At this time, Zhuo Yutang, the governor of Songnan Prefecture, was sitting upright on it in the lobby, and two others were standing in the hall, probably trying the case.
"Bang!" A gavel sound rang out, "Gu Mao, He Xiucai said that you broke into his house this morning while he left, defiling his wife's innocence. The He family's wife jumped into the well and died in shame and anger! Do you admit your guilt about He Xiucai's lawsuit?"
"Sir, He Xiucai's words are completely nonsense!" Gu Mao, who was in the hall, seemed extremely arrogant at this time, without any tension at all, as if he was much more awesome than the prefect in the hall.
"Sir, I fell in love with the little lady of the He family as if I had seen each other. We are lovers. The little lady of the He family threw herself into her arms. How could she defile her innocence?"
"You, you, beast!" At this moment, Xiucai's eyes were cracked and he rushed forward. "You not only killed my wife, but now you will also ruin the reputation behind her. I will fight with you!"
"Looking for death!" Gu Mao snorted coldly, and he kicked directly. He Xiucai, who had just pounced forward, was kicked down by Gu Mao's kick, and he rolled several times before stopping.
He struggled to get up, and at this time, blood oozed from the corner of He Xiucai's mouth, obviously he was kicked hard by this kick. But he still refused to give in and wanted to pounce on him again.
"Silent!" After slapping the agglomeration, Zhuo Yutang in the hall was obviously very angry by this scene, and shouted coldly, "You think this is the place, stop me!"
"Sir, you have to make the decision for the students!"
"Sir!" He looked at He Xiucai disdainfully, and Gu Mao then said loudly, "The little lady of the He family told me before that He Xiucai had written her divorce letter. In other words, there was no relationship between them."
"So no matter how well we are, it is natural and reasonable. As for why the little lady of the He family jumped into a well and committed suicide, I guess, maybe it was this poor scholar He Zhongquan who forced him for his face!"
Speaking of this, Gu Mao couldn't help but shake his head and said, "He Xiucai is the most shameful person, and everyone knows this. The little lady of the He family has been with me, so he is naturally unhappy. So it is probably because of his forced force that the little lady of the He family jumped into the well!"
"Master, the case is already very clear. He Xiucai killed the man!"
"You, you, are talking nonsense!" At this time, He Xiucai was already angry and said something unscrupulous. "I have always been in love with my wife. When did I write her divorce? Slander, you are slander!"
"You said you didn't write it, but I said you did!"
"Silent, let me be calm!" Zhuo Yutang said with a blank expression, "He Xiucai, you said you have never written a divorce letter, do you have any evidence?"
"How can I get evidence of this thing? Why do I need to prove it? My wife was married by my partner. She was married to her home with a sedan chair. How could I divorce her?"
"He Xiucai, you are not convinced by your side. What's more, no matter what the reason is, your wife did commit suicide!"
Shaking his head, Zhuo Yutang then said, "I have already known the cause and effect. This wife of the He family committed suicide and has nothing to do with others!"
"So I announced the verdict that there was insufficient evidence in the case of Gu Mao forcing the He family's wife to death, so Gu Mao was acquitted. He Xiucai, although I expressed deep grief for your wife, I could not help!"
"What?" He Xiucai was shocked when he heard such an almost ridiculous verdict, and then his anger surged. "Sir, you can't just ignore the national laws just because he is the butler of the Minister Gu's family, and the students are dissatisfied!"
"Enough, I have already announced the verdict. Xiucai He must not mislead himself!"
"You, you dog official! Zhuo Yutang, as the prefect, you are in love with these people and oppress the people. A corrupt official like you will be a scholar. One day, you will..."
"Random!" It seemed to be poked into the heart. Zhuo Yutang seemed a little irritable at this time, and his face was even more ugly than words.
"I am sitting upright, and I have never greedy for a penny over the years. In the lobby, you dare to slander me. He Xiucai, what crime should you be guilty?"
"Slander? Hahaha! What a joke. Go and inquire yourself. Are you slandering what I said? Do you know what the people call you, call you pugs, those powerful dogs!"
At this point, He Zhongquan seemed to have given up completely and seemed extremely crazy. At this moment, all the last bit of reserve as a scholar was put down. Now he wanted to be arrogant, even if he died, he would be more depressed than so much.
The case is so obvious, this dog official is still pretending to be confused. Are you stupid as the people? Let you fool you!
"He Xiucai, you are bold!"
"I'm bold today. Zhuo Yutang, you have never greedy for a penny, but you are just a corpse and a meal. Ask yourself, have you done something for the people over the years!"
"As a prefect, you only know how to talk about literature and pretend to be noble. When you see ordinary people, you will be arrogant and hold your own identities. When you see high-ranking officials and powerful people, you will be merciless and bow down. A person like you deserves to be a scholar? Or a court official?"
"You, you!" pointed at He Xiucai, and the prefect Zhuo Yutang wanted to say something but couldn't say a word. Finally, he threw down all the signs on the table in anger.
"Come here, beat me, beat me hard!"
The magistrate looked like this, so the yamen runner naturally did not dare to neglect it. He dragged He Xiucai aside, and his heavy board was about to be swung down.
"Slow!" At this moment, the board in the yamen runner's hand was grabbed by Chen Yu who came from outside. No matter how hard the other party tried, it would be difficult to move at all!
"Who are you who actually disturbed the court? Do you know what the crime is?"
"Disturbating the court?" With a gentle smile, Chen Yu looked at the other party disdainfully and said lightly, "I am the new magistrate of Songnan Prefecture, how can I disturb the court?"
"Rareless, I am the prefect of Songnan Prefecture. Who are you? You actually pretend to be an official in the court!"
"Imagine?" He took out the official documents from his arms, and Chen Yu threw them directly over. "Lord Zhuo see for yourself, this is the official document of the court. From today on, this official will be transferred to the prefect of Songnan Prefecture and will be in charge of all affairs of Songnan Prefecture!"
"This, this is actually true?" Holding the Ministry of Personnel in front of him, Zhuo Yutang looked disbelief. He had never received a notice saying that someone came to replace him. Why did someone suddenly stand up and say that he was replaced?
"What about this official? How did the court arrange it?"
"Oh, I almost forgot when Lord Zhuo said this!" He took out his arms and took out another document and threw it over. "This is the court's document to dismiss you, and I will give it to Lord Zhuo. From today on, Lord Zhuo will be white!"
"White, white body? This is impossible!"
