Chapter 125 You have Zhang Liangji, I have a bridge ladder
Time passed day by day, and finally on September 18th, Fatty Tang came to pick Zhao Hao down the mountain.
It was late autumn, and the mountains were even cooler. Zhao Hao had a brocade cloak on his body.
"I heard that Li Jiutian's butt was about to be opened and bloomed." In the luxury carriage, Fatty Tang said gloatingly: "It seems that the young master has taught him a deep lesson. If he is like this, he still dares to go up the mountain to find the young master."
"Stop talking about him." Zhao Hao glanced at Tang Youde and said, "Aren't you okay?"
"Don't look at me like this, I am a noble eighth-rank Xielu!" Tang Youde smiled proudly, patted the black horn belt on his waist, and said with a smile: "Although this donation class is useless, if you want to arrest me, you have to let the Southern Ministry of Personnel remove my official position first, but they may not agree."
"So that's it." Zhao Hao made a contemptuous gesture and said, "I thought you donated money to fight against the Japanese."
"Of course we are really fighting against the Japanese!" Tang Youde smiled sly and said, "Of course, it can bring some benefits, so this will naturally be more sincere."
Zhao Hao joked about him and said to his two apprentices: "Today is the day to release the results. Don't go to the county government with me later."
"Where is the master who is important to look at the list!" The two of them said in unison, shook their heads together, "Besides, isn't someone staring there? They will come to report the news as soon as the list is released."
"Okay." Zhao Hao nodded and did not stop him.
"Ah, the young master is really going to the county government?" Tang Youde couldn't help but worry for Zhao Hao when he heard this: "I heard that you are so negligent in County Magistrate Zhang, you have prepared a complete set of guys. When you arrive, you will reward you with a killing stick first!"
"Go..." Zhao Hao sneered contemptuously, stroked the cloak on his body and said, "He will dream."
"Young master, tell me what tricks are there?" Tang Youde asked scratched his head, "It's time, don't hide it."
"You just wait and watch the show." Zhao Hao made up his mind and kept it in a silence.
It was noon on the sun, and the carriage was parked on Yaqian Street.
Wang Wuyang put out a whole cloak for Zhao Hao, and Hua Shuyang set up a golden pallet and helped the teacher get off the carriage.
Zhao Hao happened to see Mr. Liu, whose eyes were breaching fire.
For today's court, Mr. Liu specially put on his chariot belt and came to the county government early in the morning. He happened to meet Zhao Hao being rushed out of the carriage.
At this point, Mr. Liu couldn't see clearly. This little thief who was still stinky is clearly the real mastermind. And the fat man Tang who used his shoulders as a handrail was simply an errand!
"Little thief, I want you to look good today!" The so-called enemy was extremely jealous when they met. Yuanwai Liu glared at Zhao Hao, wishing he could be eaten alive.
"Oh, Mr. Liu is so angry." Zhao Hao didn't care and asked with a smile: "Can the price of silk fall again..."
‘Puff…’ Liu Yuanwai’s eyes turned dark and he almost spurted out an old blood. If Changsui wasn’t supporting him, he would have fallen to the ground.
"That's right, it's just in time for the harvest of autumn silkworms." Fatty Tang, who was supporting the role, was still sprinkling salt on Liu Yuanwai's wounds. "When the market closed yesterday, it had already fallen to one tael of silver and one pound of silk. Today, I'm afraid I can't hold on to one tael of money..."
"Oh, it's so badly?" Zhao Hao asked with a sympathy: "I don't know how much the tens of thousands of pounds of silk from Mr. Liu sold?"
"I guess it's sold a lot, otherwise I wouldn't have the intention to sue us." Tang Youde said with a smile.
"I'll fight with you!" Liu Yuanwai was sang together by the two of them, and his face turned pale and he was about to pounce on him.
He had lost nearly 200,000 taels of silver just now. If he hadn't transferred his hatred to these two people, he would have gone crazy.
Gao Wu and several fierce men were ready to block Zhao Hao.
"This is the entrance of the county government. Do you want to act wildly?" Zhao Shouzheng also moved out from behind the screen wall accompanied by Fan Datong. He looked at Mr. Liu coldly and said, "Without the yellow robe, you are not the prince, you are a dog meat bun that cannot be used on the table!"
"You, you..." Liu Yuanwai was stabbed in the sore spot, but when he saw the black men who looked like iron towers, he dared not come forward again. This is not good at donating officials. He was a dwarf everywhere, and even a student who broke the prison dared to laugh at him.
Not only him, but also Fatty Tang beside Zhao Hao's side had a suffocation of smile and was obviously injured by accident.
"Don't relax, my father didn't say anything to you, he just used to making fun of the crowd." Zhao Hao hurriedly patted Tang Youde on the shoulder to show comfort.
At this time, I heard Mr. Liu retort: "You are a useless second-generation ancestor, a scoundrel, and not marrying you is my most correct decision."
Zhao Shouzheng was furious when he heard this, and pointed at Liu Yuanwai and cursed: "Who do you think is a scoundrel? Your whole family is a scoundrel! Your broken daughter almost became my daughter-in-law. Just think about it and then I'm afraid..."
Zhao Hao couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward and pulled Zhao Shouzheng and asked, "Didn't you let my father wait at home?"
"That's what you said, if you pass by here, can I sit at home?" Zhao Shouzheng squeezed at Zhao Hao, pointed behind him and said, "Not only I can't sit still, everyone in Caijia Lane has come."
Zhao Hao followed his point and couldn't help but gasp. What a good guy, he saw the high blacksmith, Yu Jiachang, Fang Shangguillo, Qiaoqiao's mother, Wu Yu, the very delicious cook guys, and the men, women, young and old in Caijiaxiang, stuffed the entrance of the county government office.
Even Qiaoqiao and Ma Xianglan were in the crowd, looking at him with concern.
Is this a whole lot of things going on?
"Everyone is not working anymore?" Zhao Hao was moved and amused.
"If you don't encounter any trouble, you still don't know your prestige in Caijiaxiang." Zhao Shouzheng laughed softly and said, "Everyone is here to cheer for you. If the county master's referee is unfair, everyone will clamor and put pressure on the county master."
This is the basic configuration and inherent routine of a famous gentry when he was suing. Unexpectedly, Zhao Hao had just been in Caijiaxiang for half a year and enjoyed this kind of treatment.
Seeing that Zhao Hao was crowded with people, Mr. Liu dared not talk nonsense anymore, so he hurriedly went in first and complained to the master.
Zhao Hao bowed to the neighbors with gratitude, and wanted to enter the yamen with high fighting spirit with Tang Youde.
Li Jiutian limped at the door. When he saw Zhao Hao coming in, he felt relieved and said, "The little ancestor is here. If you delay for another two days, Jiutian will be beaten to death."
"Thank you for your hard work." Zhao Hao thanked him with a smile.
"Let's not talk about anything else," Li Jiutian whispered in his ear: "Young master will keep his temper later. You have been idling for so many days. You are angry and even putting things on... We heroes don't suffer any loss in front of us."
"Thank you Jiutian." Zhao Hao nodded, not knowing whether he had listened to Li Jiutian's advice, so he walked towards the lobby under the guidance of the yamen runners.
In theory, such civil disputes are usually heard in the second hall, and there is no need to open the lobby to question the case seriously. However, County Magistrate Zhang collects money to make the plaintiff feel that the money spent is worth the money. And more importantly, he has to kill the defendant's prestige, so that the people of Shangyuan County will see it. What is the end of it?
Since it is a chicken that is used to kill the monkey to show, the monkey must be put in. Therefore, today's trial allows the people to watch. Li Jiutian led people to set up a fence outside the lobby, and ordered the people who were rushing in to watch outside the fence.
"Don't cross this white line!"
But there were too many onlookers today, and they almost squeezed the fence over, so the officers had to shout to maintain order. The lobby was messy, as if it was a market.
How could Wu Kangyuan, Zhao Shouzheng, and Eryang, those who are fame and fortune, squeeze together with the common people? They were naturally placed in the white line and stood in the hall to watch.
At this moment in the lobby.
County Magistrate Zhang wore court uniforms and sat upright behind the case with a large seal, signing the cylinder and a gavel. Behind him was a picture of the sea water that meant "clear as the sea water, brightly as the sun". A plaque with a "glass hanging high" hung above his head, and three yamen runners lined up neatly.
When the plaintiff and defendant arrived, the dark-faced Magistrate Zhang slapped the gavel and shouted:
"Ascending to the hall!"
"mighty……"
The yamen runners shouted in unison, and the water and fire sticks in their hands were rhythmically slapped on the ground, making a creepy sound.
If it were usual, when they heard this terrifying power, everyone in the hall would be so scared that they would kneel down.
But today, both the plaintiff and the defendant were standing there, and there was no intention of bent down.
"Who is in the hall? Why don't you kneel when you see the official!" The defendant yelled loudly.
"Liu Zhengqi, the deputy deputy, has met his parents." Then he saw Liu Yuanwai bowing to the hall.
"Tang Youde, the assistant assistant of the lower official, pays homage to his parents." Tang Youde also bowed to County Magistrate Zhang.
Everyone in the hall looked at Zhao Hao and thought to himself that you are a furious child, you have no official position, right? You still want to get away with it?
But when Zhao Hao was still calm and had no intention of kneeling down.
"This beast has never been reported for many times. I despise the court. I will beat him twenty first and kill the powerful sticks!" County Magistrate Zhang picked up the fire sign and was about to throw it away.
However, Zhao Hao smiled faintly, took off his cloak, revealing his new black Deng silk round necklace.
Then he bowed to County Magistrate Zhang.
"Student Zhao Hao, a student at the Imperial College, pay homage to his parents!"
