Chapter 141 Complaint
Jun Moye and Su Hanchu looked at each other. Facing the Yan family members who were ready to rush over with sticks, neither of them was afraid. Who were they trying to scare with such a small number of people?
Su Hanchu gave a warning.
"Everyone be careful and don't get hurt by mistake."
Then he grabbed the knocking stick with one hand and kicked the man in the chest, but the man dodged it.
He actually knows martial arts. Well, he suffered a loss the last time the Yan family came, so he is naturally fully prepared this time.
A hand-held machete hit the wrist of a member of the Yan family. Su Hanchu grabbed the stick and used a set of stick techniques to hit the member with great force. The member of the Yan family would be hit after a few moves.
Jun Moye's side is even more so. Even if the other party found some thugs who knew martial arts, so what? After all, he was the prince of Qin who was both civil and military. Dealing with these little idiots is not a small matter.
After occasionally observing that Su Hanchu was fine, he could basically knock down a member of the Yan family with one or two moves.
The villagers of Guanping Village were amazed by the performance and applauded one after another.
"Okay, Mr. Jun, Mrs. Jun, kill these bandits."
"Yes, beat them to death and see if they dare to come to our village and bully others again."
"That's right, Mr. Jun, Madam Jun, keep up the good work."
An hour later, the couple had had enough fun fighting, and the stick in Jun Moye's hand instantly touched Yan Shaofeng's neck.
"Yan Shaofeng, I didn't attack you not because I didn't dare, but because I disdained it. People like you should lose everything and be imprisoned for life."
It was already dark at this time, and Jun Moye spoke to Zhou Lizheng.
"Uncle Zhou, have everyone tie these people up. We'll take them to the county government office tomorrow morning."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Lizheng hurriedly asked everyone to bring ropes, and soon all the members of the Yan family were tied up.
Zhou Lizheng and Aunt Zhou came over personally to tie up Yan Shaofeng.
Seeing that he was at a disadvantage, Yan Shaofeng tried to run away, but Jun Moye raised his hand and tapped his xue.
Yan Shaofeng spoke anxiously.
"Jun Moye, what gives you the right to kidnap someone? I'm going to sue you..."
Jun Moye interrupted him coldly.
"Then wait until tomorrow and sue me in court. You brought so many people to our village to cause trouble, and you even poisoned our rice, causing us to have no harvest this year. I want to see who will suffer tomorrow."
Before Yan Shaofeng could say anything, Uncle Liu had already stuffed a piece of cloth into his mouth.
Jun Moye looked at Zhou Lizheng and spoke.
"Uncle Zhou, it's getting late, so let's have everyone go back and rest. Leave these people at the dam and have some young men take turns guarding them. I'll take Yan Shaofeng back to the Jun family. I'll take responsibility if anything happens. Also, Uncle Zhou, please make preparations. I'll write the complaint tonight. Tomorrow morning, you will beat the drum on behalf of our Guanping Village to file the complaint."
Uncle Zhou looked at the tied Yan Shaofeng, thought of the large amount of rice in the village, and spoke with determination.
"Okay, Uncle Zhou, I'll listen to you."
Then he called everyone.
"One man from each family stays to watch over these people, and the others go back to rest."
After bringing Yan Shaofeng back to the Jun family, Su Hanchu directly gave him a sleeping drug, and then had some midnight snacks with Jun Moye. Jun Moye went to the study to write a petition, while Su Hanchu told Chuntao and others to take good care of the house tomorrow.
The next morning, Jun Moye and Su Hanchu led the people of Guanping Village to the county government office.
As the drum sounded at the gate of the county government office.
“Bang…Bang…”
County Magistrate Hua spoke to the County Magistrate while adjusting his official uniform.
"I don't know who it is, beating the drum so early in the morning."
The county magistrate spoke respectfully.
"I think someone has come to ask you, the County Magistrate, to make the decision."
The visitor came into the hall while talking.
"Who's beating the drum outside?"
As the door was opened.
Su Han accompanied Zhou Wenxun into the lobby.
The other villagers who came with them from Guanping Village were waiting outside the lobby.
The county magistrate saw so many people gathered outside and slammed the board on the table.
"Who is in the hall?"
Zhou Wenxun submitted the petition.
"Sir, I am Zhou Wenxun, the current head of Guanping Village. On behalf of all the villagers of Guanping Village, I would like to ask you to uphold justice. We in Guanping Village have always worked hard in farming, actively paid taxes, abided by the laws of the court, and lived an ordinary life.
However, recently, a merchant who called himself the Yan family came to our village to forcibly expropriate and buy land. Land is the basis of survival for us villagers, so we naturally would not sell it. Just after the Yan family failed to buy the land, the rice fields in one of our villages were poisoned, and all the rice in the village was destroyed.
Yan Shaofeng of the Yan family came to forcefully buy the land right after the rice crops were destroyed. On behalf of Guanping Village, I am suing the Yan family for destroying a full 432 acres of rice crops in Guanping Village."
County Magistrate Hua and the County Assistant Magistrate exchanged glances, and the County Assistant Magistrate approached Zhou Wenxun and presented the petition to County Magistrate Hua.
County Magistrate Hua took a look and spoke in a low voice with the County Magistrate.
Su Hanchu narrowed his eyes as he looked at the two men, two corrupt officials.
While Zhou Wenxun was anxiously waiting, County Magistrate Hua finally spoke.
"We can't just listen to your side of the story. Where is Yan Shaofeng?"
Su Hanchu stepped forward and spoke.
"In reply to the County Magistrate, just yesterday, the Yan family came with more than 20 thugs and threatened and oppressed ordinary people in our village, causing panic in the entire Guanping Village. Fortunately, the villagers in our village united as one, and only then were they able to subdue the Yan family. Yan Shaofeng is now outside the door."
Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Hua looked at Su Hanchu.
"Who are you?"
Su Hanchu spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"My name is Su Hanchu. The villagers of Guanping Village have long heard that Magistrate Hua is upright and incorruptible, loves the people like his own children, and is a truly excellent official in the northwest. That's why I've come here today with Uncle Zhou to ask Magistrate Hua to make the decision for our Guanping Village."
Seeing Su Hanchu speak like this, the county magistrate smiled and spoke.
"This is essential. As the county magistrate, I naturally make decisions for the people. However, I also need to hear what Yan Shaofeng has to say about this matter to see if there is any misunderstanding."
Then he began to give orders.
"Someone, bring Yan Shaofeng..."
The officers and soldiers at the door turned around and went out to ask who Yan Shaofeng was.
Yan Shaofeng was also pushed in by Uncle Liu.
When Yan Shaofeng saw him coming in, he had no choice but to step forward and bow.
"I, Yan Shaofeng, greet County Magistrate Hua."
County Magistrate Hua looked at Yan Shaofeng while holding the petition and spoke.
"Yan Shaofeng, Guanping Village is suing you for forcibly purchasing their land, and when that failed, you poisoned the rice in Guanping Village. Do you have any defense?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Shaofeng glanced at Su Hanchu, and a hint of hatred flashed in his eyes.
"Sir, I am wronged. I am just a businessman. I just thought the land in Guanping Village was suitable for growing fruit trees, so I wanted to buy an orchard. I also offered the highest price.
It’s just that the Jun family in Guanping Village has been stirring up trouble, which has resulted in the deal never being concluded. Yesterday, I added more money and went to Guanping Village to discuss the matter sincerely.
As a result, the Jun family indiscriminately assaulted our Yan family. My servants and slaves are still being held in Guanping Village. Today, I will sue the Jun family for intentional injury and forcible detention of civilians."
