Chapter IX Reporter's Victimization 1

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

The drum of justice outside the county government of Zhenjiang County was knocked so loudly that it was a market day. As people were rushing on the streets, people liked to watch the fun. After a while, the gate of the county government was surrounded by people watching the fun.

Zhan Yi was dressed in a linen hunter outfit, with a serious and resolute face, holding two large wooden sticks with red cloth bags in his hand, and knocked them over and over again tirelessly, but no official sentiment came out to ask.

Lin Ronghua hugged Zhan Yuntian in the crowd, looking at Zhan Yi worriedly.

Suddenly, the door of the county government opened, and a yamen in a gray robe yawned and walked out lazily. He thought he was asleep inside, but before he could come back to his senses, he opened his eyes and saw the noisy scene at the door, and immediately felt shocked.

"Hey hey hey, yes, who is playing the drum? It's early in the morning, and it's not enough to let people sleep!"

Zhan Yi saw a yamen officer coming out and immediately followed and bowed virtuously, "Sir, I want to seek justice! I want to sue the Zhao family Wang in the town!"

"Who? Who do you think it is? The Zhao family? The Zhao family in our town?"

When he heard about the Zhao family, the yamen suddenly woke up and seemed to have been shocked. After that, he added, "The Zhao family of Mr. Zhao Lin, a good man,?"

Zhan Yi nodded seriously and said, "Yes! Manager Wang of the Zhao family in Zhenjiang County!"

After hearing this, the Yamamaster stopped expression and looked at Zhan Yi strangely, and said, "Wait." Then he turned around and ran towards the Yama.

Hu Lin, the master of Zhenjiang County, is a middle-aged fat man with a beard with small eyes, a flat nose, and an extremely large belly that can cover his view of the instep. He was just enjoying the gentleness of his eighteen concubine, but his mind was hurt by a knock on the door.

He pushed the Eighteenth concubine out of his arms and said, "Get back."

The eighteenth concubine glared at Hu Lin and stomped her feet and left.

Hu Lin shouted impatiently: "Come in!"

The door opened, and the Yamashi came to the house timidly and knelt down: "Master, outside, someone beats the drums outside."

Hu Lin stood up and shook his stomach in anger: "Huh? It's the first time someone beats a drum outside the door? He was so panicked that he lost the face of the master!"

The Yamachao looked at Hu Lin tremblingly and continued, "No, no, the big man outside the door, he was suing Zhao, the people from the Zhao family, I, subordinates, subordinates."

Hu Lin's eyes twitched, and his narrow eyes glared, "What! Zhao family? Have you asked what's the matter clearly?"

The yamen lowered his head and replied, "No, no, when my subordinate heard that it was the Zhao family, he would come and report it immediately."

Hu Lin faced the windowsill, stuck his two beards with his fingers, and his eyes like a croton turned "guru", shouted the Yachao to his side, attached it to his ear and said something, and then said, "Just do what I said, go and go back quickly!"

When the yamen heard this, he lowered his body and immediately said back. Hu Lin narrowed his eyes and called another yamen: "Come here! Take the drumbeater outside the door to the hall, and I will personally try the case!"

Li Dongqian has been a yamen servant for five years, and no one will ever sue the Zhao family in Zhenjiang. Strictly speaking, even if someone wants to sue, he will not dare. The man who was beating the drums outside just now was obviously a wild man, and he didn't know the ways in the yamen. At this time, he was sent by the master to the Zhao family to inform the Zhao family of the matter, which was considered to have sold a small favor in the Zhao family. As for how to deal with this matter, when the master asked him to go to the Zhao family to inform him of the news, it was obviously destined not to be really tried.

The yamen hurried to the side door of the Zhao family. After knocking on the door three times, a man in a low-level servant uniform opened the door for him. After he explained his purpose, the servant took him into the Zhao family through the side door, and the destination was Zhao Lin's residence in the east.

The Zhao family is very big. From the side door to Zhao Lin's residence, you need to pass through the backyard with lush leaves, and then walk through many corridors in a bend, and then you are taken to an outer courtyard with side halls to wait.

The servant said he was going to inform the housekeeper but he had not returned yet. Li Dongqian stood in the yard and did not dare to leave without authorization, so he just stood and waited. Unexpectedly, the housekeeper did not come, but a young man with a jade face dressed in gorgeous brocade clothes came towards him. He wore a jade crown and luxurious accessories. If it weren't for the fierce look in his eyes, he would have been a handsome young man when he grew up.

The boy walked to Li Dongqian and asked domineeringly: "Who are you? Why are you staying in my yard?"

After a pause, the yamen officer basically didn't guess the identity of the young man, so he explained: "I am a yamen officer in the county yamen. Today, people beat drums and sued a manager of the Zhao family. So, our master sent me to communicate with the old man."

The young man's delicate facial features suddenly frowned, "Oh? There are still civilians who dare not be able to get along with the people of my Zhao family?" Zhao Ziyu had known about what happened to Manager Wang in the forest that day, so when he heard the servant's return, he suddenly wondered the purpose of the yamen officer appearing in the Zhao family today. This question obviously had an answer in his mind.

"Yes, it shouldn't be a big deal. The man was wearing a thick linen and was obviously a turtle man in the outer forest, which is not surprising."

The yamen officer's words also confirmed what Zhao Ziyu was thinking. The purpose of cutting ancient trees was to make new exercise stakes for his grandfather. There were only old woods in the outer forest area of ​​Zhenjiang, so he sent Manager Wang to do this, but who would have discovered it by the owner of the forest. Manager Wang did not object to the way he dealt with people. After all, if this matter alarmed the government, it would be alarmed, so that his birthday gift would be meaningless. However, he was sued at the town government office.

No, grandpa can't let grandpa know about this, otherwise he will become a big joke on the day of grandpa's birthday!

Although Zhao Ziyu had just grown up, his bad ideas were piled up in his head. He coughed lightly and looked at the Yamachai seriously, "I, the Zhao family, go back and tell the county magistrate, not everyone can make trouble. If you want to sue me, the Zhao family, you will have to pay the price." He pretended to look at the Yachai and signaled to the servant beside him, "Let me see you off, my grandfather has something important to do today, and it is not convenient to see the guests."

The two servants understood and stared at Li Dongqian with fierce eyes, waiting for him to leave. Li Dongqian had no choice but to come out of the Zhao Mansion with this meaning.

In the lobby of the county government office, Zhan Yi knelt under the hall, waiting for the arrival of the county magistrate Hu Lin. Outside the hall was filled with people watching the fun.

Hu Lin was dressed in official uniform, dressed neatly, and sat down slowly. His little eyes were like beans looking at the kneeling man in the hall thoughtfully.

"mighty......"

"When will the people in the hall report the name, but when will they seek justice?"

Although Zhan Yi was a grass-roots hunter, he had also studied. He had trained hunting skills in the forest since he was a child, had seen blood killing, and never did anything wrong. He had no response to the shocking behavior of the government. Instead, he was concerned about his eldest son's grievance and looked righteous.

"Sir, my family is an ordinary hunter in the forest area of ​​the Zhenjiang edge. Every Japan hunts livelihoods in its own area and never messes with the regulations. But his Zhao family led people to cut down a small piece of old forest in my family without my consent. My son was almost killed because he discovered them and stopped them. If I hadn't discovered it in time, my son would have died now! Sir, you have to make the decision for us!"

After hearing this, Hu Lin looked mysterious, as if he was weighing the case, but on the next side, he slapped the wooden blocks in the desk and shouted loudly: "Bold and unruly people! When I see this official, I don't call myself a slut, what should you blame!"

How did the first generation of Zhanyi know the various rules of the officialdom? I was stunned for a moment, and my stuttering "I" and "the grass-roots people" kept getting lost.

Seeing that it was effective, Hu Lin raised the corner of his mouth and continued, "I think you don't care about your first crime, but those who seek justice should pay attention to rules and evidence in everything. Please tell me, have you written the crime of seeking justice?"

Zhan Yi shook his head, "No."

"Then do you have evidence to prove that this matter was done by the Zhao family?"

Zhan Yi's eyes lit up and he replied, "Yes! The child Zhan Xiao had seen the Zhao family's manager Wang and his group, and they almost got hurt!"

Hu Lintie smiled and continued, "Is there any physical evidence?"

Zhan Yi thought, "No."

Hu Lin breathed out, and although he was still a deputy official, he also said angrily: "Since you have not been guilty and there is insufficient evidence, it is difficult for this official to file a case for investigation. I think,"

Before he finished speaking, Li Dongqian, a yamen officer who had been sent by him, signaled to him in the gap behind the screen. He put on an airs and waited for Li Dongqian to come over. Li Dongqian walked out of the screen, and no one was surprised by the yamen officer's outfit. He saw him saying something in the ear of the county magistrate and said something, and then left the hall.
