Although the people who were sowing the disagreement sent people from the fast-track team to capture it, Zhouxianzun certainly could not dry the two groups of people in the hall there, and he had to ask what was going on in the previous fight between the two sides.

Therefore, the Hui Gang was naturally the only one who taught Mr. Bao Er, and the other Hui merchants who wore a pair of pants. On the Dongting Merchants, Tan Mingfang, took the lead and He Yun, and the others only interrupted one or two words. After a while, the disputes about the wharf, whether it was Zhouxianzun or Lei Jigu who were listening to the hall, they soon became clear.

After all, the Hui merchants who came first occupied the best dock on the north bank with their wealth. The Dongting merchants, as local merchants, were dissatisfied with this and rely on a large number of people and power to make a comeback. This led to the continuous conflicts in the past, which led to the current major conflict with heavy casualties.

"Bao Zhuhuang, since Tan Mingfang and others said they were listening to someone's instigation and had just made an appointment for a fight, what do you have to say?"

Although Mr. Bao Er was still full of resentment, when he thought that the matter might involve the dispute between the cabinet and the old masters, he still had to listen to Wang Fulin's advice and decisively admit defeat. He swallowed hard and said word by word: "Report to the county magistrate, we were indignant in our hearts at the beginning. After taking on this fight, there was something wrong with it. As long as they compensated for the casualties and did not covet the Xin'an Wharf of our Huigang, we can take down this lawsuit without complaining. However, the instigator must be brought to justice, which is the bottom line! Otherwise, if we really fight again in the future, what should we do?"

Zhou County Zun was so excited when he heard Mr. Bao Er's statement. He thought it was really as expected. He immediately raised his voice. He said sternly: "You know. In the past, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty once set a system that if there were any disputes between land and soil in the countryside, or small matters of beating and scolding, they would be dealt with in the countryside and were not allowed to sue at any time. Now this article is rarely implemented, and the elderly in the countryside are no longer wise as before. Since you are all businessmen, most of them are not natives in Hanyang, the intention of this county. In the future, the merchants in Hanyang Town will each elect respected people to be responsible for mediating such disputes. What do you think?"

Lei Jigu had dealt with Zhouxianzun a lot in the past. He knew that this person was smart and capable, but he was also a sloppy person. He did not expect that today he was on the sideliness and was able to find another way to think of such a way. His aura when he first came was eliminated by seven points. He stroked his chin thoughtfully, and did not notice that anyone had not paid attention to the situation in the hall. Instead, he was observing him.

Although Mr. Bao Er had already learned of such a plan from Wang Fulin, it was not easy to make decisions by himself after all. He immediately said, "The county master has a good idea, but I need to go back and discuss it with others!"

Tan Mingfang, the big leader of Dongting Business Gang, was pleased: "The county master has a good intention. We can agree. We also ask the county master to preside over the presidency at that time. We can also help contact the other business gangs."

He Yun also said in a literary way: "If we can really have fewer disputes and less blood, the county magistrate will be of great importance."

Several merchants from the Dongting Merchant Group behind the two couldn't help but wonder. Although He Yun is not small, he heard that he still likes to roll his sleeves in person when fighting. Such a person actually said that he would be a great deal to shed less blood. What a joke, this guy is an authentic countryside domineering in Shaoyang County, Baoqing Prefecture!

After throwing out the idea of ​​selecting merchants to conduct mediation, Zhouxianzun became more confident. Then, he slapped the agglomeration and asked in a deep voice: "Tan Mingfang, Bao Zhuhuang and others just said that they would ask you and others to compensate for the casualties, are you willing?"

"Of course, the small people are willing to pay for the money they should pay...but!" Tan Mingfang said angrily, "This time there were also casualties among us. Shouldn't they also compensate for a few? Although the matter is not suitable for me to listen to others' instigation, they have died and injured each other, and the compensation should be equal!"

Mr. Bao Er immediately felt his temples rushing. When he thought that many of the incidents were caused by the other party, even though the other party was convinced, he actually had to pay for it. He couldn't help but want to refute it. But at this moment, he felt something poking the waist, and then a voice came from his ear.

"The overall situation is the most important thing."

Mr. Bao Er woke up suddenly. Anyway, there were many casualties here, and the Huizhou people on his side benefited a lot. He gritted his teeth and then swallowed his anger: "They compensated for the number of casualties in our side. We also compensated each of them according to the person. Is this fair? But, they have to publicly apologize for the matter they have chosen!"

The Dongting merchant gang, known as the Dongting Court, was immediately in an uproar when he heard the last sentence. Some people were yelling that it was outrageous, some were waving their fists, and some were almost unable to help but speak ill on the spot... In the court that had always been quite orderly before, it was in a mess at this moment. Wang Fulin didn't expect that Mr. Bao Er wanted the other party to apologize in the end, but Tan Mingfang was obviously unwilling. Only then did he realize that for these merchants, face was sometimes more important than affordable insiders. However, he could not interfere with Tan Mingfang and others to persuade him at this time, and he couldn't help but feel worried.

Don't make a fuss until the last game is gone, then he will be in vain!

As Zhou County Zun smashed the gavel with anger, the lobby finally became quiet. At this time, Tan Mingfang said, "You have to apologize. When I pass the position of the leader of the Dongting Merchant Gang to others, I can personally apologize to you. After all, this is my misconception to the gang, but it is impossible to ask my Dongting Merchant Gang to apologize!"

Just as Mr. Bao Er weighed the pros and cons, thinking about whether to fight to the death or take a step back, he heard a sharp female voice coming from behind: "What about the murderer? Will the murderer who killed and injured people be investigated?"

Wang Fulin suddenly realized that it was A Ying's voice. He turned his head to look at the woman who was crying and begging him to be fair, while he was still thinking about the situation at home that he had found out before, but she suddenly said: "Even if there is a mountain of gold and silver, can it be exchanged for my elder brother's life? Lei Shiyu. The folk girl heard that the people call you Lei Qingtian. Please make sure to give the folk girl a fair one. There are other miserables who have justice!"

Hearing this, Wang Fulin felt a thrill in his heart. He finally understood why someone who was secretly making trouble before did not instigate others, but instigated Ah Ying! He said that he was wrongly calculated and saw Lei Jigu frowned, as if he was considering how to speak. Last year, Zhou County Zun's face was gloomy, and he might be cursing in his heart. He took a deep breath and then stood up.

I didn't want to show up, but now it seems that there is nothing I can do about it!

"Miss Tian's brother died in vain. This experience was originally very sympathetic." Seeing A Ying unnaturally avoiding her sight, Wang Fulin bowed deeply to Zhouxianzun, and then bowed to Lei Jigu. "Student Wang Fulin, Songming Mountain, She County, Huizhou, had just arrived in Hankou Town for a few days. A few days ago, he was woken up while sleeping. After getting up, he opened the door and saw that Miss Tian was covered in plain clothes and burned paper in the yard."

Zhou County Zun was very welcome to Wang Fulin's sudden interruption. At this moment, he immediately cooperated and asked tacitly: "Oh, could it be that his brother was beaten to death?"

"No," Wang Fulin nodded, and then continued, "She learned that I had been in a relationship with the governor of Huguang, Wang's Ministry. Because the body had not been sent back, she felt that the pension was not enough to live, so she asked me to ask the court of Wang's Ministry to preside over the law, just like asking Lei Shiyu to preside over the level. However, I knew the law and regulations and did not appeal beyond the level. She asked her to complain to the county government, but she insisted on refusing. Then Mr. Bao ordered people to bury the dead and give a generous amount of care. When I went to her house to visit, her mother kept saying that she was very satisfied with the pension, but I noticed that Miss Tian was wearing a filial piety dress while not forgetting to use makeup and also wore gold and jade on her hands."

Lei Jigu was the person who paid the most attention to etiquette and law. He originally thought that A Ying was quite brave to complain about his brother, but when Wang Fulin said this, he couldn't help but look at him carefully. He saw that she was still wearing a thin makeup at this time and was wearing a yellow gold bracelet on his wrist. Whether it was red gold or gilded, it was obvious that this kind of girl who was mourning for his brother and went to court again, could she remember these things? Seeing that his face was full of panic and seemed to want to defend something, he heard Wang Fulin speak again.

"I just think that it is a bit unusual for my brother to speak up for this kind of behavior in the mourning hall, so I asked someone to inquire about it. It turned out that the mother and daughter of the Tian family are the mother and daughter. The dead Tian family is just sixteen years old this year, but the son of Miss Tian's uncle was adopted by Miss Tian. He was beaten and scolded by Tian's mother at home. He often threatened to go to the yamen to sue for disobedience and forced him to come back with more money. This time, the reason why Tian's son went to the recruitment fight was because Tian's mother thought that his daughter had bought a dowry and ordered him to ask for ten taels of silver. Therefore, although Tian's son was thin, he still bit the bullet and applied for the recruitment."

"You're talking nonsense! There's nothing like this!" A Ying finally became panicked, and her voice became even more sharp for a moment, "Lei Qingtian, it's clear that they bullied us poor..."

"Lei Shiyu, the mother and daughter of the Tian family are also quite famous in Xin'an Street. It is said that people often come and go to their homes. If you don't believe it, please go and check it out."

When Wang Fulin said this, he found that Lei Jigu's eyes at Ah Ying were no longer the pity and appreciation he had before, but deep disgust. He just bowed and changed the topic: "The tragic battle this time is indeed severely punished. However, how to make profound lessons a wake-up call for the future is not enough to just punish severely."

"That's it!" Zhouxianzun immediately realized that this was his chance to show his own performance, and immediately said with a sigh: "After the armed fight, the county once ordered many constables in the county's fast-track team, as well as the Zhengming Ma Master, to go down to investigate the details of the armed fight. More than a dozen particularly violent people in the city have been recorded and displayed in public. They will be punished according to law! As for the Hui Gang and the Dongting Merchants, the county sentenced to each of them to lose 500 taels of silver and build roads and bridges in Hankou Town to benefit the people who were frightened before. In addition, everyone took turns to clean up the streets of Hankou Town for a total of one year. Everyone wore mourning for the dead and injured to show mourning..."

Zhou County Zun opened his mouth and made a series of judgments, which were clear in structure and clear in thinking. Just when Lei Jigu felt that the handling was too light, the Hanyang County Magistrate suddenly smashed the gavel again.

"But the basis of all this is all in the instigator! If the instigator does exist, then ask for it like this, otherwise everything will be empty."

Speaking of this, Zhou County Zun suddenly looked at Lei Jigu and said, "This incident happened in Hankou Town. Can Lei Shiyu go to Hankou Town with this county? First, we will continue to try this major case, and second, we can also facilitate Lei Shiyu to conduct careful investigations, so that we can not listen to one-sided words!"

Lei Jigu looked at Wang Fulin who suddenly popped out. After a long time, he said with mercy: "Okay." (To be continued...)
