Zhang Xiaoshi, who had been dozing with his eyes closed, suddenly seemed to perk up when he heard this. He looked up and said with a chuckle, "Ming Gong, why did you suddenly think of this?"
Although he didn't know why Li Kuanchen suddenly asked about this, this was exactly his strength and pride, so he naturally wanted someone to bring it up.
Even if no one mentions it, he will find an opportunity to brag about it.
Hearing the Pingyang magistrate personally ask, it was still polite.
"Actually, this is not a secret. My family and the Fang family are indeed related by marriage, but you probably don't know about it yet.
The second sister of a certain family is..."
He was bragging so much that the officers nearby just rolled their eyes.
However, everyone also knew that this guy was indeed related to the Fang family. Although everyone was secretly dissatisfied with him, they were also somewhat envious and jealous.
But what surprised everyone was that the Pingyang magistrate, who usually avoided Zhang Xiaoshi when he heard him bragging about these nonsense, was now smiling as he listened to Zhang Xiaoshi talking about all kinds of trivial things, as if he was very interested.
Just when everyone was wondering whether Ming Gong was going to use Zhang Xiaoshi, the Pingyang magistrate nodded slowly, "Okay, if it's true, that's good.
Officials in this county have always been lenient and benevolent, preferring to let people off the hook rather than punish them unjustly.
However, since Zhang Xiaoshi himself confessed that he was a relative of the traitor Fang family, I think it must be true.
"Come here, bring this thief to this county, and first give him two hundred taels of silver to appease the county, and then send him to the Jinyiwei!"
Everyone was a little confused after hearing the first few sentences.
What is going on? What are you talking about?
What is the connection between leniency and kindness, and preferring to let off the hook rather than to do injustice? Don’t people always say preferring to let off the hook rather than to do injustice?
Zhang Xiaoshi was also a little confused.
But when they suddenly heard the words "relatives of the traitor Fang family", everyone became even more confused.
Traitor Fang, which Fang, what kind of traitor?
Zhang Xiaoshi couldn't help but ask, "Ming Gong, you are not confused by the fever, are you? What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Rebel?"
"presumptuous!"
Li Kuanchen turned and walked to the hall, picked up the gavel and slammed it, then shouted again: "What are you all standing there for? Didn't you hear what I said?
Fang colluded with Cui's rebel group with evil intentions and was captured by the Embroidered Uniform Guard not long ago.
Zhang Xiaoshi is a relative of the Fang family, so he's naturally a rebel. Are you going to go along with him?"
This time everyone finally understood what was going on. They opened their eyes wide in surprise and found it hard to believe for a moment.
Some of them had some affair with Fang, or even worked for Fang, and their faces turned pale.
However, as Li Kuanchen slammed the gavel again, everyone immediately woke up from their dream and their eyes fell on Zhang Xiaoshi.
The latter was immediately frightened by the sight of so many people. Although he didn't know what was going on, he couldn't help but cry out in his heart, "Oh no, Pingyang County is going crazy today!
No, I have to run and see what's going on.
Otherwise, you will die here today!"
Good man, hit me two hundred times, not two hundred, I can’t even handle twenty!
Thinking of this, the boy was shocked. He swung the Water and Fire Ruthless Stick in his hand and hit the officer opposite him. Then, while the officer was stunned, he ran away.
But before he could run two steps, he was tackled to the ground by the officer he had just hit.
The latter was just staring at him, but he was hit by a stick for no reason and was furious, "You grandson, you usually rely on the power of the Fang family traitors to ignore us, and now you dare to hit your grandfather!
Still running, where are you running to? "
Before he could finish his words, the other officers behind him rushed forward, shouting and pressing them all down, including him.
"Oh my, you bastards, how come you even beat me!"
After much effort, they finally captured the "rebel" accomplice Zhang Xiaoshi and brought him back to the court.
The officers cursed and raised their heads, "Sir, the prisoner Zhang Xiaoshi has been brought to justice. Please tell us how we should punish him!"
Li Kuanchen sat behind the desk, looking at the chaos in the hall.
I couldn't help but feel speechless.
When I think about how decisive and efficient those Jinyiwei were before, I can't help but feel that people will die if they are compared with others, and goods will be thrown away if they are compared with others.
After hearing the officers' questions, he put away his emotion and said in a cold voice, "How to fight? You still have questions?
Drag him down to this county and give him two hundred, no, three hundred beatings! "
Everyone was furious when they heard this, thinking to themselves, "Ming Gong, are you trying to vent your anger or satisfy your greed? Good boy, two hundred, three hundred, they're all ready to be eaten!"
However, at this time everyone also realized that this gentleman must have been angry outside and no one wanted to bring bad luck to him.
Since you want to beat me, then beat me. It’s better to be tired than to be the one getting beaten.
There was another round of shouting, "Mighty!"
He dragged Zhang Xiaoshi to the hall to torture him.
Zhang Xiaoshi was so frightened when he saw this that he didn't care about anything else and shouted, "Don't fight, don't fight, sir. I confess, I confess, don't fight!"
Li Kuanchen sneered, "Recruit? Who wants you to recruit? What do you have to recruit? Even this county is asking?"
Hit first and ask later!"
"No, no!"
Zhang Xiaoshi didn't expect that Pingyang County, who was usually very easy to talk to, could be so unreasonable.
Good guy, after beating me, he asked again. What did he ask? Should I add salt or sugar?
He immediately struggled and screamed, "Mingsong, I have evidence of the Fang family's rebellion. I know there is collusion between the Fang family and the former county magistrate!"
